Can get GPS to lock always..but in Portland, Not!

I have the Verizon 6800 and I have tested radio 3.42.30 & 40 found no difference for my device. Both radios locks under 2min sometimes less than 1min. I use BAF tool which does the work for me just click & walk away...soon it will lock.

My company headquarters is in Beaverton, OR but I am staying in downtown Portland. Since I landed from the airport and driving around downtown Portland all day...no locks at all...

Back home is Memphis, TN and I can get locks throughout the state and since I border Arkansas & Mississippi and get locks there as well when I move around the tri-state area....

My goodness....if I had not visited Portland/Beaverton before, I would be very disappointed if I was depending on this device for navigation here...

i had the same issue in las vegas. once i changed to standalone mode (gpsmode=1) and restarted i got a lock - too bad it was the morning we left.

I noticed I can only get GPS locks from a moving car. This helped me immensly on my recent trip to New Jersey. Try using HTC GPS tool and running the clear memory command. Also try using this app to obtain a lock first, then load your map software after it establishes a lock.

Good luck!

Whats pretty common with most standalone GPS's and I'm sure also pertain to our phones, don't rely on just the GPS to sync by itself. It usually helps if you open your navigation software and search for the area that you are in, then the GPS has some idea of where you are and can have a better idea of what satellites to look for. With WLS and GoogleMaps, I can never get a sync until I search for my town and then enable GPS mode, it will sync eventually, still takes several minutes at times, but will sync. If I leave it in SF or Atlanta it may take hours and multiple reattempts and still no sync.

Just my experience with it.
