I have DCD 3.1.2, and I'm running the 3.37 alltel radio. I searched and searched forever, couldnt find it ANYWHERE.
Cliff notes: Which radio version will make the GPS in my verizon XV6800 lock on? I'll even downgrade to dcd 3.0.4 if I have to, if no radio update would help.

I know you're new to the community...and I know there are plenty out there who are just joining...but a little advice...
PLEASE read and search through all the threads before creating random threads. Not only does this flood the forums with 1 pager threads that are useless (your questions are answered already in other threads), it also pushes the more important threads down, making them hard to find.
Read the Titan Internal GPS thread, read the wiki, and there's plenty of other threads pertaining to GPS on Verizon such as this one..

Thanks for the reply.
I've already read and posted in that thread, I even read the wiki and the rom/radio matchup list. The thing is, when most people who post that they managed to get their GPS working, they only say what they used and not how they did it or what the roms were for. Everyone who got their GPS working had either a sprint phone, or a verizon phone with the DCD 3.0.4 rom installed.
Cliff: Will 3.39 work for SURE? Was it known that the 3.37.20 caused the GPS to lock up?
Alright well I'll clear something up for everyone...
The OS rom has NOTHING to do with whether or not GPS works.
GPS on carriers other than Sprint will be inconsistent due to lack of aGPS, and no rom or radio will fix that unless an official GPS software update gets released by the carrier.
I have Verizon and my GPS works consistently, but not perfect. I have applied the fix that I have been testing, though it still worked OK before the fix, just not as good.
My advice to everyone, upgrade to the LATEST rom and radio.
