No issues here...tried every 6.1 and was always able to get GPS to work.

But did you try a 6.0 ROM after trying a 6.1?

I tried a couple of 6.1 ROMs. Alec's beta had the issue of eventually connecting but it took about 10 minutes. I then tried a couple of others same thing.

Went back to Alec's Beta2, perfect. Using Quick GPS and CoPilot, maybe 30 seconds!!

Hope that helps.

Did you downgrade the radio to for example 1.27.12.17

ya when u go to 6.1 the gps works, its only when you downgrade back to 6.0 that some ppl seem to be having the problem where the gps doesnt work.. here is the link for the other discussion about this:

of course everybody is downgrading their radios too when they downgrade to v6.0...

right?

Thanks for the warning. But I think your situation is isolated to a VERY small portion of phones. I have had around 50 or so ROMs on my phone 6.0 and 6.1... been back and forth... and never had a problem with the GPS on any of them. The GPS is one function that I always check out while testing a ROM.

I have upgraded to 6.1 back down to 6.0 then back up to 6.1 and had no GPS Issues at all.

GPS works fine on my tilt, i flash every 3hrs, i've flashed almost every rom out there and never had a gps issues.

This is an issue. What fixed it for me was flashing to EVO 2.0. I believe it is a problem with the warm start in the gps tool. You need quick gps because it cold starts.

I know a lot are going to say that's not true blah blah either way that fixed it for me.

Edit: Not EVO but SNE 2.0 i meant

my gps isnt working, it says it cant connect. i'm running DCS 1.4 WM6.1 rom, radio i downgraded to 1.58.26.20, still cant connect. any ideas? thanks!

i also ran the Cingular PDA MediaNet MMS Settingsv2.cab i got off of this forum somewhere, still no go. going back to 1.64.08.21 for the meantime to see if that does it...

switched back to sleuth's 3.0 with the 1.64.08.21 radio, no gps problems. weird.:confused:
