dcd 3.2.6 and GPS

[eclipse5302]

Hello all!

I'm running dcd 3.2.6 with 3.42.40 radio and a Titan on Verizon. The GPS was working with Google Maps with the Verizon 6.1 update, but the phone was so slow to use (and no BT ICS), so I went to dcd. Since then, I get BT ICS, and the phone is much faster, but the GPS cannot lock on any sats. Any ideas?

I'd check to make sure all your aGPS settings are correct using QPST.

Already did that, but I checked them again to confirm.

What next? Is there a CAB I need to install? Should it just work out of the box?

[shield001]

it should work fine. Makesure it's set for com4 in google.

Actually I got my gf a touch and it was working fine til earlier this week now its back to the slow non aGPS where we have to wait 15 mins to get a lock. and i just got a new titan and cannot get gps working on the nuerompre3 rom. Maybe they blocked it?

did you make sure the location setting was set to on and not to 911 only?

[eclipse5302]

It is on COM4, and it is set for Location Only. It was working with the Verizon MR1 release...

Did you reflash back to a pre 6.1 Verizon rom first? You have to do that or MR1 breaks the GPS. Once you flash back to an older rom, then the normal update flashes for custom roms works fine.

That was it! I re-locked and flashed with a stock Verizon rom, and then installed SPL 2.47, dcd 3.2.6, and radio 3.42.40 and everything works perfectly! GPS, BT tethering / internet sharing, and it's quite responsive. Thanks for the tip!

Well, I've never used a Verizon ROM (I'm in Mexico city, my carrier's IUSACELL), but I have the same problem. I got GPS working with DCD 3.2.5 and after upgrading to Radio 3.42.30 and DCD 3.2.6 (same day, one after the other), I've been unable to lock onto a satellite in spite of leaving the unit in the open for over half an hour and prepping the unit with toggleGPS.

I've tried flashing back the radio and ROM to the working versions and even cooked several ROMS using PPCKitchen, to no avail. The system can open the port, does read up to 7 satellites, but cannot lock onto them.

I tried setting the GPS up with the QPST tool and Verizon settings, and got nowhere.

I'll try and relock and unlock tip that eclipse used, but maybe I'm missing something here...

any help will be mucho appreciated.

Thanks

Hey there. I found the aGPS settings for IUSACELL here (http://http://www.darkclockers.com/foros/showthread.php?t=7493) (site is in spanish and the info is on post 27 of this thread). I'll reproduce them here for quick reference:

PDE IP: 207.83.200.238
PDE Port: 8888
PDE Transport: IP
Position Calculation: PDE

I've tested them using dcd radio 3.42.50 and they work like a charm

Anyone know if/how we can get them listed in the tutorial and/or included in the Iusacell carrier cab?

I know I'm a senior member..and as a senior member I should know better than to ask something nooby like this: so please excuse my noobness and help me out! :)

I'm considering on flashing to dcd's 3.2.6 ROM but I had a couple of questions in mind first:

1) I'm on Sprint running on Evdo Rev. A speeds, I was wondering if I'd still have these speeds after flashing to dcd

2) I read about several GPS problems after flashing to dcd..but most of them came from Verizon devices..will this happen to me if I did the same?

3) Does it have MS Office Mobile in it as well?

Thanks a lot to whoever answers me! I really appreciate it!! :D:D

Answers for you:

a) yes, EVDO-A is supported
b) The problem stems from the official Verizon update. There is now an entire section in the Titan wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix)related to fixing those problems.
c) Yes, it does have Office 6.1 in it.

Hope that helps.
