It is a problem with VZ changing the ip addresses. He is talking about Valhalla changing the registry settings he added to fix the VZW IP address problem
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
Ok, that makes sense. But then why did mine work yesterday, at least briefly?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Humpa:
Every now and then we see a post where someone says it works with the VZW aGPS server settings. Either those are incorrect reports or just some intermittant thing that occasionally lets unauthorized aGPS traffic. Even when I activated VZNav and went back to the VZW aGPS settings, I still had some issues (though I could get it to work). I have no issues at all using Telus aGPS servers, or just using GPS and disabling aGPS altogether (which is obviously much slower getting a lock!).

Thanks Drew,

I have verizon with the WM 6.1 upgrade, Rom version 3.14.605.1 and radio ver. 3.37.77. Will a custom rom work with verizon? And where can I get one?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
I guess it must've just been an intermittant lucky thing for me yesterday for me. Strange!

Anyway, since I had it working however briefly, I know that my Valhalla cab is intalled correctly and all my settings are correct, so I decided to give serf's Telus cab another go. Yesterday, when I installed it, it didn't work. However this time when I installed it, I did one thing differently. This time, after installing, I did a *22899. Now my aGPS is working (with Google Maps and Live Search). It is way too soon to tell if will continue working, but I will update tomorrow and let you guys know if it is sticking.

Thanks again serf for the cab! For anyone else who has tried serf's cab and still had trouble, have you tried doing a *22899 after installing it?

XV6800 GPS working for me - here's my settings

used fluidj recommendation from post #661:

1)flash your phone to MR1

2) install Valhalla .cab file

edit the registry and change the following 3 entries:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode = 0

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress = C3CF657E

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort = 7788

soft REBOOT.

Able to run Google maps and Windows Live Local from inside the house (Indiana) with lock in less than a minute.

Thank you

thanks XV6800 wannabe. Your settings are working for me in Northern Indiana
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jazzgtr24:
Hey guys....you need to use the above settings. This still works perfectly for me, using the MR2 update on XV6800. Been working for about 2 weeks now. Make sure you are outside in the open the first time you try to get a lock. It will take about a minute for the first lock (cold start) and then usually less than 30 secs the next time.

The only other GPS software I'm using is GPS toggle. This works for Garmin mobile XT, Windows Live, and Google maps for me.

Good luck. ;)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] alwap106:
yes these settings have been working great for me as well for the last several weeks. GPS gate works great in getting a lock in 10 sec. also allows tomtom to use gps:)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
Serf, just wanted to let you know your cab is still working for me. Will let you know if it stops working.

P.S. Thanks again for making the cab. Really appreciate it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] luredale:
I did the same on my XV6800 and it locks 7+ sat's on Google and Live. I didn't do any registry edits. I did however do a #22899. Wasn't sure what that is for but I'm back to a working GPS. Thanks Serf
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Just wanted to make sure you know this turns aGPS off (Mode = 0 means off in registry settings). This may be working for you, but will not give assisted locks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dsramesh:
I have it set to:

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\EnableAGPS = 0

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress = 5C8BC6D8

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort = 8889

and it is working fine but works only in the open area, car, inside single story near the window as the Assisted GPS is off

With:

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\EnableAGPS = 2 or 4

It works inside the office building and home as it uses Assisted GPS with Cell phone signals.

serfboreds:DOk,

So I did your telus mod with qpst and your registry mod too. I also downloaded GPS Viewer and it does detect gps on com4. These are the programs I have in my phone: google maps and destinator 8 neither one picks up GPS. I have switched modes 1 to 4 but nothing. I download my rom from smartphonejunkies I believe its set up for sprint but I have gotten my verizon stuff to work. I would like to keep it since it has a lot of applications that I like

This is what is listed on my phone.

Rom version: 3.49.NO2.5066, Radio version: 3.42.50, PRL version: 30764, PRI version: 2.03_002
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
I am a little confused, are you saying that you have things working or not? Are you on VZW or Sprint? This aGPS fix is for VZW users, and not for any other providers. There is most likely server side authentication for each provider that prevents you from using other IP addresses. Telus (for whatever reason) works for VZW currently, but may not if you are on Sprint.

Did you use the Valhalla cab or the other one? Did you use QuickGPS? When you finished installing all settings and programs did you use *22899 and let it reboot? Did you take a drive and let HTC GPS tool run for a good 5-10 minutes to get a first lock? Sometimes it takes a while the very first time on some phones.

I dont' know much about that No2Chem ROM but you should be fine I think to use the QPST settings for Telus and my Telus aGPS cab.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drzip:
It lives, again!

*Update* 1-2 days later, the following *fix* stopped working.

Following jsajczuk conclusion, I set my values back to:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode = 2

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress = 5C8BC6D8

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort = 8889

For HTC/SUPL AGPS:

EnableAGPS = 1

GPSMode = 4

ServerIP = 66.174.95.132

ServerPort = 8888

Soft-Reset, and 30secs later had 6-7 Satellites! Much thanks should go out to Serf for all of his dedicated assistance/persistence.

*Note* Setting your GPS to mode = 0, is the equivalent of turning aGPS off as Serf has mentioned. It works.. but rather pathetically, and inconsistently.

Background Info: Tested functionality on GoogleMaps. Using an XV6800 w/ WM6.1 - MR2 also w/ Vahalla GPS previously installed.

*Update* 1-2 days later, the aformentioned *fix* stopped working... On to round 3! Sorry all!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
FYI - This means to me that Verizon's settings are working once again. Since they have been spotty since acquiring Alltel I am curious to see how long it is up; keep us posted.

Telus still going strong for me since 3/22.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] elisherer:
When you talk about the HTC/SUPL AGPS settings, where do I find these? I made the changes to Valhalla using RegEdit program and things were working, but now they stopped again. Are these other changes I can make somewhere?

Using XV8600 in Connecticut, moderately rural area, but all other data works well.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] soniclooking:

Done all of the things said and none will work. I change the agps stuff and change the valhalla stuff and none will work. installed the serf telus cab and nothing still. I'm here in alabama. Also i put in the PDEAddress within registry and it goes from 5Cblah blah to just 5. is it supposed to do that? I'm at a lose. This worked right up until a month ago. And everyone says theirs is working and mine don't work at all.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Are you using htc gps tool or gps viewer to check the gps. If you are running a stock rom you might need to downgrade the rom then reinstall MR1.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=21161

Also you are not entering it correct if it reverts back to only the single digit 5. Sometimes it reverts to decimal from hexidecimal so that is ok as long as you click the hex and the number is still correct.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rldleblanc:
Grrr

So, I was running MR2 with Telus just fine, then my phone died. I got a loaner VX6800 from our cell phone office and I can't get it to work for the life of me. I guess I can try to downgrade to MR1 and see if that makes a difference. The only other thing that I installed on my MR2 before was the keyboard update, but I doubt that would do anything.

I wonder if there is some hardware differences between some of the VX6800s that is causing some people's issues.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
No differences in hardware on titans. You don't downgrade to MR1 you use the link and go to nongps rom then back up to MR1 or MR2.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rldleblanc:
Hmm, I started on my old phone by going straight to MR2, then when it wasn't working (the first of March) I flashed with MR1, then I got it working and flashed to MR2 with it still working. I tried the keyboard fix, but of course nothing.

I can't imagine that flashing through MR1 would make a difference because the whole ROM is rewritten (except for the Radio from what I gather).

I would consider a custom ROM, but I can't seem to find a good step by step. I think I'd like to cook my own to put in what I want only and hopefully get rid of some of the clunklyness that all of Verizon's stuff adds.

I also tried using mode 0 (unassisted) and still nothing in wide open spaces. It also seems from the testGPS program that it can't even find the GPS hardware. I want my old phone back, minus the contentious rebooting.

I guess the biggest thing is I'm having a hard time finding the kitchens on Google.

Valhalla Install?

Morning all,

Does anyone have the Valhalla cab? Its not available in Skywing's first post any longer.

Thanks,

Steve
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Go to this link here.

Hope this helps!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] cab0:
Thanks to everyone for contributing. I was able to get my Verizon xv900 working, and I thought I'd share what I did in order to help other newcomers.

1. Update your phone to ROM 3.14.605.1. On the 6900 this is commonly referred to as "MR1". It is not called MR1 on the pcdphones.com, but once you unzip the file, you will see a file call XV6900_MR1_Upgrade_Procedure_v2.4.doc. Check your ROM version : Settings>System>Device Information. If you have an xv600, and your ROM is less than this, then you need to run it. If your ROM version is higher, then this is an outdated post!

2. Get the Valhalla cab (listed in the post above this), and install it

3. call *22899 (not sure you have to do this)

4. Edit the registry

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode = 0
HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress = C3CF657E
HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort = 7778

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\EnableAGPS = 1
HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\GPSMode = 4
HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP = 66.174.95.132
HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort = 8888

Note: I use PHM regeistry editor, and the PDEAddress is decimal by default. just switch it to hex, and it will work (even though it flips back to decimal) - as long as it's a REG_DWORD, it's ok

5. Soft reset.

To test, I use Google maps, making sure to use the built-in windows gps (under options).

Got 6 Sat's in my house in Milwaukee.

Do you have to have Data connection for this GPS solution to work...Because i dont have Data package from Verizon Wireless....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MegaSam:
Ya I'm wondering the same thing. Because when I use google maps it says gps active but on the menu bar (top bar) it says data network connect... connected. I'm hoping I don't get charged.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] stevenfstein:
Tried all the settings and nothing is working. How do I delete Valhalla - the uninstall did not finish, so I can reinstall again. Are there files to delete or just the registry entries?

Thanks... Steve...

UPDATE:

really strange - was coming back from Philly yesterday and stopped to get gas. While waiting I tried the GPS and within 30 seconds got lock on 6 sats. Still working this morning in NY. The only thing I did different was to start bluetooth but up to that point I had tried all the registry settings and nothing worked. Bizarre!

Best.... Steve
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
I have read that some have issues with uninstall from "remove programs." Instead use this cab here.

If nothing else works you will need to reflash/hard reset.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
You are using data when you use Googlemaps for sure. It even prompts you when installing that you will be charged for data from your provider. Other programs use data sometimes, especially if you have aGPS turned on in QPST and registry.

Best way to check is to check data usage by dialing #DATA (for verizon) or whatever it is and seeing if your KBs are increasing after use of your program.

GPS working using post #703

My GPS was working with the Valhalla cab and recently it stopped working

I did what was posted on #703.

Downloaded the Serf Telus aGPS for Valhalla.cab and installed.

call *22899 and let it reboot.

It appears to be working. I have not tried it out on the road but it does look like it follows me around the house.

My device is Verizon

xv6800 with WM6.1

Rom 3.57.605.1

Rom date 07/21/08

radio 3.37.75

Lots of Information... Need Direction

Hello... I've been reading some of the posts and have become a little overwhelmed with the information. I'm very excited to get my GPS working on my phone (Verizon XV6800) especially after reading all the happy comments. I'm just not sure where to start exactly.

Data Usage on GPS

Dude...You might wanna look into this.. if they are charging you it would be charge per megabyte not unlimited plan....and google maps transfer tons of data while running they charge $1.99 per megabyte and google maps can easily use over 200 megabytes in an hour....i wouldnt like to know how much carge they can put on my bill.....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] NorskeDivision:
Follow the directions here, I think.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix

My experience with GCC 3.1.4, was that my GPS stopped working along with everyone else's last month. Got it working again with the following steps:

1. Loaded up QPST again and entered these settings. This is crucial, even if you have already run QPST and had GPS working in the past, you must now do so again to update the IP settings. This confused me.

PDE IP Address: 216.198.139.92

PDE Port Number: 8889

PDE Transport: IP

Position Calculation: PDE​

2. Changed settings in registry to the following

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\EnableAGPS = 1

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\GPSMode = 4

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP = 216.198.139.92

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort = 8889​

3. Dialed *22899

Anyway, what settings do I put in the registry and QPST to make the GPS function standalone? I can put up with a little delay in positioning if it means my GPS will work consistently and I don't have to worry about whether or not GPS servers are going to allow me to connect.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] soniclooking:
GREAT!!!

:mad:Ok so I dialed *22899 to update my phone. And now I can't make any calls! Thanks! why didn't anyone post a warning about that! I'm at work and I can't just go to a verizon store and get this fixed. Now I'll have to call verizon on my lunch break and get this fixed. Until then NO PHONE!

Do Not use *22899 unless you have access to another phone so you can call in to customer support to get it turned back on.. :mad:

Ok I was extremely angry but i fixed it. I took the battery out and put it back in, not sure if that worked because i also went to verizonwireless.com to activate phone and put in the esn and it said it was already activated then turned phone on again then it was working.... strange...

Stupid question

Hi all,

I know this is going to be a ridiculously stupid question but does this effort use the internal XV6800 GPS or do you still need a 3rd party one plugged in? For some reason I'm brain farting on determining that from all the write-ups. What's getting me is the 'assisted GPS' comments.

Thanks for the patience.

I installed GC's orignal cab and google works but my VZNav will not load. Can someone tell me exactly what files I need to rename and put in Windows to make VZNav run again? I think I'm close.

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fishboy:
According to Skywing:

Since the cab created by GC installs the files in \Programs\GPSServer (gpsapi.dll is installed in \Windows), you will have to manually move them to the \Windows folder using the same process to manually install gpsapi.dll into the \Windows folder (remember to leave gpssrv.exe where it is). Per Skywing's first post:

Therefore, to have third party and VZ Nav all work, you need to have oemgpsOne.dll, stdgps.dll and gpsapix.dll in the \Windows folder. If you have any problems, unsure that oemgpsOne.dll and gpsapi.dll are the new files and not the ROM version (the files should have a September date on them).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] thundaar2000:
Your sig says you use a custom rom... This patch as far as I understand it, only will work with the stock 6.1 MR1 update....

Installed your files on my xv6800 with MR1 (using GC's first cab) and Google Maps and Live Search work great!

Thanks Skywing (and GC for the cab).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I made a cab to put those files in \Windows, and everyone was saying that when using that cab, they were no longer able to get a lock using 3rd party apps, hence why everyone reverted back to the original cab which only installs gpsapi.dll to \Windows, and everything else to %InstallDir%.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Skywing:
I'll take a look at what the cab is doing later on and see if I can determine what's going wrong. That configuration ought to work, but it's possible that I overlooked something.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Here, I've redone the cab using an alternative approach to install all dll's to \Windows. It's labeled 'Test' as I don't know if it'll work or not, but for you guys using MR1, test it out and post your results.

Uninstall the original cab if you've installed it already then soft reset.

Install this cab and try out third party apps and VZNav (if you have it).
