GPS & Rev A Question about new rom

[dannyzen]

I've installed it but am reading that there are modifications made for both to work.
How do you go about performing the tweaks?

You shouldn't have to tweak anything for your GPS to work. You may want to verify that settings> phone> location settings (get settings) has location "ON". There has been talk about enabling/disabling REV. A in the EPST settings (dial ##778#> edit> enter MSL# as unlock code> data settings> Rev. A). REV. A comes disabled by default. Some have said that it is supposed to be disabled, some have said it is supposed to be enabled. I've tested both ways. I get an average of 668Kbps d/l with it enabled, and an average of 460Kbps with it disabled. I tested both ways several times, soft resetting between them. I've levt mine enabled. If you need your MSL code, do a search for the MSL generator. I have it and can post it if you can't find it.

there are many posts here as well as ppcgeeks that are saying.... leave the espt thing alone. most people are missunderstanding this setting. it comes preinstalled enabled. when you see the disable in the espt settings this is not saying it is disabled. it is asking you if you want to disable.

mine was faster when left alone.

as far as gps.... should be good to go. altho some have said that the htc quick gps work good for getting a quicker lock on sats.

good luck, cody

I experienced slower speeds AND GPS issues when I changed that default setting...

By default, it should say 'Disable' in the area... but yeah, changing that value to 'enable' actually DISABLES the EVDO Rev. A, so it IS confusing yes...

Me personally, I did the stock ROM, no tweaks and I'm working perfectly. Leave it alone man :)
