Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS
 

Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS And Rev A WM6 Leaked Rom. (should work on the official release when it drops.)
Hey guys, just thought I'd cross post this here. Originally from the Titan GPS FAQ that Talynone is maintaining on XDA Developers:

HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPLAGPS/
GPSMode --> Change to 4 (orginal value 2)

WORKS EXTREMELY well for me. Picks up MORE satellites, much quicker than before even inside my house. Try it and see if it makes a difference for you! Don't forget to reset/cycle power once you change the reg setting.

hey this is my first post here. Just browsing the site there is a lot of information, with everyone being so knowledgeable. i just have one question about GPS on my P4000(MOGULE) from TELUS is there anyway to get that or is all this information about updating rom flashing just for Sprint provider Mogels. Any information on that would be great thanks in advance.

you could run 6.1 but you wouldnt have any gps and rev a capablilities since that phone is a gsm phone and rev a only works for cdma.

I am pretty sure that Telus runs on the EVDO CDMA network. So if so will running the 6.1 work on enabling the GPS on my phone?

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS
 

as he stated above if it is cdma yes...gsm no.

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS
 

OK well im going to give this a try hope it doesn't freeze everything. Im pretty new at this.

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS
 

just make sure to follow all the steps...most importantly write down your msl,mdn and msid before starting....
this well help you get those...follow instructions..

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS
 

I am also new and looking for WM 6.1 as my HTC P4000 isn't functioning with WM 6.0 and it is my 7th unit! I'm curious to know if this worked and whether the functioning was improved at all.

Thanks

What does this hack do? Are there any downsides to this hack (e.g. worse performance outside of cell coverage range)?

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

no but gps and rev a are included in all custom roms!!!! i would go to the rom section and flash your phone..... \you can find a tutorial in my signature :>

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

i just flashed my phone with kaos custom rom.. where do i go to hange the value? what program do i use?

Thanks!

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

You would need Resco registry editor to do the change , just do a search for it bro

Hi, I'm new to the ppc world. I have read a lot of stuff here and on xda the last few days, but I can't seem to put it all together. I just bought an Alltel PPC 6800. I would like to unlock the GPS and install one of the latest ROM's. I don't exactly know what I need.
What is Rev A? What does upgrading to a custom radio do for me? Please direct me to the latest and the greatest for Alltel.

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

Read my sig or one of the staff's sigs it will lead you the right way

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

Do I have to do this for the Kaos Take 5 rom.....and if I do can somebody explain it a little better for me? I just downloaded the Resco utilities bundle

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

no if your running the kaos rom your gps is already enabled.

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

I thought so.....but it doesnt come with Sprint Navigation and I couldn't get the Garmin to work.....that could be that I'm just not sure how to get the Garmin to work....Idk. I posted in that thread but nobody responded

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

all you have to do is go to your extended rom from file explorer and it will be in there :>

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

Thanks Dash....I was wondering where it was......cool I can just delete the Garmin now

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

I have NAV IGO 8.3.xx and using GPS Viewer and QickGPS that I downloaded from xda developer also did the registry hack posted in thsi forum on my Verizon xv6800 mogule and finally got my app to say connected to GPS. I made sure that my phone has all of the propper setting for the gps in the start/settting/system/external gps plus in start/setting/phone I shave it set to location on.

However when I try a set a start and destination it tells me that it is waiting for gps signal but I am in the house since it is late and no need to go outside now. Is it giving me that message because I am in the house or is there something else I need to do. Please advise.

PS I am using the HTC WM 6.1 update not any custom roms. But as mention the apps says gps is connected but when setting for direction it says waiting for gps but I am inside the house.

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

that may very likely be the problem.....bein inside the house...mine does that everynow and then, depending which part of my house i am at....it would only take a lil longer to locate me but eventually it would.....idk i'd say try tomorrow when you can go outside and see if it works then

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

It's a pain the azz but the Valhalla hack to unlock a Verizon phones and the reg edit does work I am able to lock on a GPS signal in 5-10 seconds and it now works great. Gonna take a while but it does work...

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM61 ROMS
 

OK, 2 more things. Go in and edit the registry, if your uncomfortable doing this I suggest sending a PM to Dash to use his services. If you are felling a little foggy and want to jump. Do a search in the reg and for to GPSMode and change the value to 4 from 2. Next and this is the gooch! Go to external GPS in the setup and change the program com port to 8, then the hardware port to 4, and the baud to 38400, and finally make sure it is checked to allow windows to manage your GPS. You will be amazed on how fast the response time will be. If it does nothing for you it is easy to switch back but it will. I went from a soft restart it took 2-3 min to get a solid lock, down to 6-10 seconds for a full 3D lock. Really that impressive.This is all info I have been digging up in an OCD fit over the past 2 weeks and this is the shit distilled from the mountains of posts out there.
Good luck!

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS
 

Any help here is appreciated. I have a sprint custom ROM3.3.651 and windows 6.1

Was just wondering if there was any wy of enabling the GPS on the HTC touch>?

I found this post and also this link and was wondering how safe the alltell ROM is and what changes it will make to my phone? Basically I want the GPS without changing the basics of the phone.

Here is the link - If i attempt this and it goes pete tong....... can i hard reset the phone back to how it was Or will it be bricked?

Thanks in advance a techno phobe......

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS
 

ok no clue what you are talking about... you have a sprint vogue aka touch correct? if so what rom are you running on it currently? is it stock? if so you will have to update to the newest sprint if you want to stay stock to enable the gps on your device... or you could go custom rom and have it enabled anyways... take a look at my flashing tutorial below in my signature and that should clear some more up for you as well. also when you boot the phone up and at the htc screen you hasve red writing on the bottom right hand corner.... what does it say next to the R: there?
