Any 3rd party GPS aside from GMM and WLS I've had to use GpsGate running on virtual comm2 in order to get them to work. But they all work fine - anything I've tried, at least. Most things need the NMEA unencrypted output and don't handle the intermediary driver very well (or at all) - at least that is what I've taken away from the various things I've read. ;)
[Touch CDMA General] ppc_test:
Humpa is right: use GpsGate 2.6.

Look at <http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=730133#post73013344> post #4
[Touch CDMA General] Blaylox:
Thanks guys I will check it out-
[Touch CDMA General] Humpa:
And that is the exact post that I followed as well.

Also, I am using MortScript (lets you creae something similar to a windows .bat file) - I created a simple MortScript file that I doubleclick that launches GpsGate and then TomTom. That saves me from having to click 2 things (I try to make things easy so I can do them just as well after drinking ... lol). ;)
[Touch CDMA General] Tybalt39:
You can also set GpsGate to auto-launch upon power-up. Every time I reset my 6900, GpsGate is there, ready to go with my GPS software. No script required.
[Touch CDMA General] Humpa:
Right, but I don't use GPS every day, nor every week. So no sense having it running all the time. ;)

Thanks for the great advice-

CoPilot working great now...

Now back to Verizon, what happened?
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
I'm still not having any luck getting my GPS/aGPS working. It was working great on NFSFAN rom a couple weeks ago. I've tried adjusting the reg ENABLEAGPS, and GPSMODE setting with no luck. Is it possible that Verizon could have changed the agps server ip.
[Touch CDMA General] rangerdave:
If your verizon phone agps is crapping out make sure the server ip is proper. I found that the server ip was WRONG, unless I'm really reading something wrong.

My server ip was 197.207.101.126. That server belongs to the Ripe network..

These are the correct ip's and ports. Changing the ips and ports is simple. If it still dosen't work then just set your ip to 127.0.0.1 and disable your agps.

This has worked for me...so far..

I'm in the same boat with the internal gps not working correctly. I was pulling my hair for the last 4 days trying to figure out what the problem was. I could get it to work but it was not reliable. At this stage I really do not feel like screwing with the settings again only to have something else crap out with it. Well today I said screw it and I bought a small case to house my phone and a thin bluetooth receiver I bought last year. The receiver works excellent with google maps, msn search, tomtom 7 and igo8. Picks sats from the sky in less then 20 seconds and even has good pick up indoors. The only issue is that I have to rotate charging (unless I have a dual car charger) and the slight increase in bulk. But so far rock solid.

If this issue happened during spring break I would have been screwed. Go Verizon :mad:
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
Ahh does anyone remember the default EnableAGPS #, and GPS Mode #?

On another note I think we all should call or talk with Verizon... Find out whats going on. Squeaky wheel gets the grease!

Valhall GPSserver Is Working!

It's working again guys. The satellites must have been offline or something because it wasnt working for about two weeks but its up and running again!:)I have a xv6800 and its workin g nice and fast again...
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
Well its not working here. I mean if I wait 45min-1.5 hours outside randomly it will pop on however the slightest cover and it goes out. I restarted my phone just in case V did something to the network and still no luck.

Not Working here either (CMH)-

Help changing IP and ports

Can someone please explain how to get to these settings to change them?
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
Well i called Verizon and i don't they have any idea of the outage... They checked the service bullet.. and there was no notes. Call 800-922-0204, Option 3. They claim they haven't changed anything. They said the normal there 61 update should have unlocked the agps features. I think we need to just get the word out there to Verizon.
[Touch CDMA General] serfboreds:
It depends.

If you are running stock Rom you need to use Valhalla cab, but if you have a custom rom you will need to edit SUPL AGPS keys in the registry and QPST settings. You need to follow this guide here (posted originally for the XV6800 but I swear it also is ok for the Vogue... read here if you don't believe me).

If Valhalla you will need to go into registry using Total commander or some other regedit program and edit these keys:

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

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

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

It doesn't hurt to change the SUPL AGPS keys to match what is below, but I don't think it is necessary.

---------------------------------

If you are running a custom ROM you need to change the values in QPST GPSone tab to match this:

IP = 216.198.139.92

Port = 8889

IP

PDE

and you also need to edit these registry keys:

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

Hope this helps, you should be back up after these changes.
[Touch CDMA General] mahkee:
I have the vznav going free for a month, and the speed is unbelievable so I'll keep it for a while... Google maps still gets nothing after a reset. I have to prime it by starting vznav, or another primer prog, and then just for kicks I closed it, killed the process and loaded google maps. The gps lock is already activated on google maps when the prog starts, and from that I am wondering if maybe they are learning how to lock down the agps on the server side of the authentication. Vznav has not been out at all, so I dont see where there was an outage as others are reporting different problems. I don't know, maybe somebody can find this info useful. I am running an unmodded XV6800 with mr1 and valhalla, and I just want to make sure that vzw is coming/back up for good, because I would hate to lose my agps again:) And I don't think Telus will let us log in forever, will they? I would think they would try to make a buck. Not like they aren't charging an arm and a leg anyway
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
mahkee, Could you check your settings. I'm curious if VNav for some reason changes any of theses values. Secret may be in your settings...

Check your GPSOne tab values with QPST:

What the:

IP = ""

Port = ""

IP

PDE

and if you could also check these registry keys:

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\EnableAGPS =

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\GPSMode =

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP =

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort =

Thanks
[Touch CDMA General] cruzincat:
I tried just the top portion but it didn't seem to work. One point: The PDE Address was obviously HEX, but the port is not so obvious. My original port is DEC 8888, so I assumed it is DEC8889?

Is it possible ServerIP and ServerPort info is geographic in nature? I live on the other coast.

Recently purchased GarminXT for the phone at $99 and I am pizzed at VZW. If I have to pay to activate VZNav to get it to work I will, but only until my contract is up next February. Then it is off to some other carrier. I have had it.

edit: Tried putting all the above in and it did not work for me. I think it is a geographical thing. I live in Maryland. Please, anyone who has tried and failed or tried and succeeded, go back and edit your post with a general location so we can get a better idea of what does or doesn't work where. Well, after writing this I went back in to change the entries back, and I found that they were already back! WTF? Trying again. I did a soft reset after changing it.

This time I checked before trying it and the changes were still there. Still not working, though. I have to go out, so I will turn it on for a longer time and see if it starts working.
[Touch CDMA General] axemurderer:
Hey Serf, thanks for the response.

I was originally using Stock rom with Valhalla and it worked great till they put a damper on it. I then flashed to nfsfan 1.13. I understood his rom should work with no mods or hacks. I am not currently using Qpst with his rom. Will this resolve the issue even after VZ put the kabosh on the Gps thing?
[Touch CDMA General] Humpa:
Yeah, decimal 8889.

Are you saying Garmin doesn't work or that Google Maps Mobile doesn't work? GMM should work (does work?) with Valhalla and the regedits you quoted. But you will need gpsgate in order to use other 3rd party gps programs (since most need unencrypted NMEA data).
[Touch CDMA General] cruzincat:
MY BAD! I stopped at the VZW store to have a talk and they looked at the General GPS settings and I had left it on 911 only during one of my earlier attempts to fix it by turning it to 911 only and then back. I must have gotten side tracked and didn't get it switched back.

It still wasn't working so I headed home to get the info to try the above settings again. On the way home I checked the settings for the Supl AGPS and saw that it was in Mode 4. I wasn't sure what mode it was supposed to be so I changed it to 2 and did a soft reset. When it came back up it was working!

So here is how mine is set up:

Valhalla Mode is (2) I never changed this but it might be important because of above.

PDE Address = (5D8BC6D8)

PDE Port = (8889)

SUPL AGPS:

GPSMode = (2) <=== This might be the key if you don't change the next two

Server IP = My original # 195.207.101.126

Server Port = My original # 7788
[Touch CDMA General] serfboreds:
I believe that most problems some of you are facing may be due to the registry editor you are using. I use Total commander and find that it is really fast and always sticks. You can also use SOTI PocketController from your desktop (I love bluetooth connection with the skin) to edit the registry.

Also please be careful to enter with the right format (i.e. decimal, hex, etc) cause it will not work otherwise. The best thing for you to do is to send a PM to me with your settings or post screenshots (if MR1/2 send Valhalla and SUPL AGPS, if custom send me QPST and SUPL AGPS) and I can see what the issue is. Often it can be as simple as a single digit or letter difference keeping you from getting 10 green bars in 10 sec.
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
Thats a good case of them being a Monopoly I would call them and express your concern after purchasing your own navigation software. I called yesterday and they stated that the aGPS should be working. 800-922-02-4 Opt 3...
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
I pretty much matched everything up.. I get a lock but it takes more like 30-1.5 min.... Which in my eye isn't bad but I worry about the Telnes status and what it means to be using there servers.
[Touch CDMA General] mahkee:
I am not familiar with QPST so maybe I am doing something wrong, but it is blank on the whole right side of the gpsone tab. As for the other info,

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

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\GPSMode = 2

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP = 195.207.101.126

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort = 7788

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

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

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress = 2220863042 (decimal)

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort = 8888

Maybe someone might be able to help me get qpst working, I cant seem to find any reason as to why is not working for me.
[Touch CDMA General] serfboreds:
Your problem is you aren't following the instrux for adding Telus settings for Valhalla cab (I assume you are not running custom ROM which is why you have Valhalla) as seen by your values above being incorrect. You need to use PHM regedit, total commander or something to manually change values. I am not sure if you need QPST as some people have been fine without changing those values. You also have decimal set for Valhalla reg, please enter in Hex. Your values for server IP in SUPL AGPS should be this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS]

"GPSMode"=2

"EnableAGPS"=1

"ServerIP"=216.198.139.92

"ServerPort"=8889

"EnableGPSSmartMode"=1

and Valhalla should be this:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode=2 (the original value)

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress=5C8BC6D8 (HEX VALUE)

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort=8889
[Touch CDMA General] serfboreds:
Your first lock will be the slowest, but use a program like BAF gpstoggle to get a good estimate (HTC GPS tool is good too). Telus seems to be a bit slower than VZW was, but I still get 5-10 sec locks driving, and 30-1min locks inside.
[Touch CDMA General] mahkee:
I understand the instructions about the Telus settings.. I am on a free trial of vznav so I am trying to figure out how the VZW server settings work during the navigator sessions. VZW's servers are up and as fast as ever. That is what I am trying to discover. How do I see GPSOne settings in QPST? I update the phone and the info never comes in. If we can't figure the VZW agps server thing, than of course I will go with Telus settings. I am just hesitant to use another carriers services, and rely on it though. Plus I pay for VZW:(
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
Thanks Mahkee I wonder where that Ip leads too or if it works for the rest of us -

QPST is a program you can use to see values in your phone.

Here is a link with directions on how to fix the aGPS... if its working for you don't do the sets, just check your values. Its quite simple to do I think all the directions make it look a lot harder then it really is. Takes me about 15 seconds to check mine.

Here is a post from someone on a smaller forum that might make some sense as to how this is happening:
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
Hmmm interesting. Thanks for the update
[Touch CDMA General] mahkee:
I appreciate the help from everyone. I have agps working thanks to vznav doing something to my phone. I know I don't need to change anything as of now, but I was wondering if it is normal for the gpsone values to be empty on QPST upon loading info from the phone. I posted my Valhalla and AGPS values from the reg, and I am pretty sure those are default, so I am thinking there is another server I am logging into now that I am running 4.1 vznav, and hope QPST will help me find it. If QPST is not the answer, any suggestion as to what software I need to see what server the phone is connecting to? Would a packet sniff do the trick? Thank you again:)
[Touch CDMA General] serfboreds:
When you load QPST you should click on "read from phone" in bottom right. That could be why those values are blank.

I don't think that you need QPST for Valhalla cab though, it may not help anything and could cause problems potentially if the drivers that were installed in the Valhalla cab work in a different direction than how it works for custom roms. This is dangerous territory in QPST if you do something wrong.

We have talked about packets, but no one has discussed a software that has full headers and other information that can be analyzed.
[Touch CDMA General] serfboreds:
Boss428man,

Could you tell me if you used the drivers that GC posted? Are you on XP or Vista (version please)? Some Vogue users are having a hard time connecting to QPST.
[Touch CDMA General] whistlerntwinks:
GPS headache

So, after hours today I followed the instructions and still can't get a lock. And, for some reason I now get a no gps receiver was found message.
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
I think I used WModemDriverInstaller.exe.... I'm using Vista 64 and XP Pro... I remember having to do some searching. I vaguely remember Vista loading a Plam driver by default which also worked. Yah, if you follow the instructions to the tee there are some slight variations. (Like you probably won't find 2 free com's, I only had one)

I am really curious if mahkee values are. with the Verizon Nav installed. I'm wondering if we install the Verizon Nav and don't use it if it might fix the problem because I don't how long the Tellnet options will last?
[Touch CDMA General] mahkee:
I am using QPST 2.7 build 215, the button "read from phone" is on the left in this version and after pressing it, many of the fields populate, but gpsone still has no info in it. Maybe I am using the wrong version of QPST? Is there any other way to find the ip that vznav is connecting me to? My xv6800 is coming up as a "SURF7500" if that makes a difference. I run XP pro and I installed WModemDriverInstaller.exe . Last night I started vznav and then stopped it once a signal was acquired, opened google maps, and left that open all night. Normally the agps is shut off within the hour(I tried using google maps later and no connection), but last night it seems with google maps running non-stop I was able to sustain the connection for over 8 hours.
[Touch CDMA General] serfboreds:
First, do you have MR1 and Valhalla or Custom ROM?

If Valhalla you don't need QPST from what I understand.

If custom, you need to enter the Telus values in QPST in the same way you entered aGPS fix written up by GC.
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
Hey Serfboreds

Did you see this in one of the other forums... I havnen't had time to change my values but I wonder if this is the new Verizon number.

HOW TO FOR VZW USERS

This will be updated as I discover more.

This has all been done using the clean rom as I had many issues with the other.

What worked on a fresh flash

1. Voice

2. Data

3. SMS

4. All hardware

GPS

1. This is assuming you have already done the agps hack

2. Dial *228 and choose option 1

3. Soft reset the phone

4. Open your favorite gps app and you should have a lock within 30 seconds.

(if that does not work make sure you have location on in the phone settings. Also make sure that under gps settings you have the baud rate set to 4800 and the com port set to 4)

If it still does not work check the following reg settings

[HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL GPS]

\EnableAGPS = 1

\EnableSmartMode = 1

\GPSMode = 4 (should also work as 2)

\NumberFixes = 999999999

\QoSAccuracy = 50

\QoSPerformance = 89

\ServerIP = 195.207.101.126

\ServerPort = 7788

\timeBetweenFixes = 1

MMS

1. Go to connection settings and select "Manage existing connections"

2. edit the only connection there

3. Name it whatever you want ie "vzw"

4. hit next and enter #777 as the number

5. hit next and put "your10digitnumber@vzw3g.com" and "vzw" as the password

6. hit finish

7. install the attached arcsoft cab

8. do a soft reset.

9. open phmregedit in the start menu

10. navigate to HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcsoftMMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\X-VzW-MDN and put your 10 digit phone number for the value

11. wait a min or two and do a soft reset

12. go into messaging select menu and then mms options

13. select the server tab

14. select verizon wireless and change connect via to "the internet", the other settings should be correct.

15. wait a few min and perform a soft reset once more

16. now mms should work!!!

[Touch CDMA General] jacksplat:
I had the verizon settings as you show here and it was not working anymore. I could get a lock, but only after 10 minutes (5 or so minutes if I sat still).

I put in the Telus info (using PDE instead of 'Mobile' though) through QPST and in the registry and it's all good now...locks in 5-10 seconds.
[Touch CDMA General] serfboreds:
I got a three second lock indoors using the new numbers from Boss428man, definitely aGPS is working with those numbers for me. I posted screenshots. I believe those are alternate Bell aGPS settings.

Not sure which is better but these are fine too... good find Bossman. I tried Sprint and Alltell number before Humpa found that Telus settings worked, I will need to retry now.
[Touch CDMA General] Boss428man:
The numbers I found are not working for me.. I'm using a custom rom with qpst.. no luck bummer. Serfboreds looks like its working pretty good for you. I will try again later today when i have some free time.

[Touch CDMA General] Humpa:
Yeah, that will only show on a properly "branded" 6900, I guess. I have the official (leaked) VZW 6.1 OS.
[Touch CDMA General] coolpoete:
disappointed with vzw

So at first I really thought that VZW had nothing to do with the outage but now I am conviced that they do. I have a friend in their data tech support who swears up and down that they knew nothing about the problems with the aGPS. The outages that were reported shouldn't have an affect. He has a blackberry storm and both VZNAV and the proprietary blackberry GPS software works just fine. So to prove a point to both of us I had VZNAV put on my XV6900 today. Within an hour I was getting satellite locks on VZNAV and Google Maps and Microsoft Live Search... and its REALLY fast.

Mind you, I was in the same predicament as others that posted here. I have had the leaked MR1 ROM and the official ROM and was getting sattelite locks at first for a while then it stopped for us all at the same time. I was using the Valhalla tweak for original ROMs and no registry tweaks. I have never used a customized ROM, nor am I using an external GPS device. Verizon has blocked whatever port it was that is being used. If you install VZNAV it opens that port back up. I gotta give it to them though, that's clever but I'm sure some of us on here are smarter.. LOL..

The first 6.1 leak must have opened that port up and once VZW caught wind of it they figured out a way to block it. Either my friend doesn't know or he's playing dumb. Either way I have some words for him. I will post my registry settings later to see if that will help any of you out there.
[Touch CDMA General] serfboreds:
What would be nice is if your friend can speak to someone who actually works with the server at address 66.174.95.132. Otherwise I wouldn't hold it against him.

I personally doubt that any registry or QPST settings are going to help us much as I believe there may be some server-side authentication going on that can tell the difference between signed copies of VZnav and requests from non-VZnav sources such as us. I would love to be proved wrong.

Possibly someone that is a whiz at packet analysis can tell what is going on and rewrite the drivers for those people that are looking to keep the stock roms MR1/2 or do some similar workarounds like what Skywing did, or everyone will have to use custom ROMS and point to other aGPS servers.
