can i get GPSServer Uninstall CAB

[scottthreet32]

thats works please
thank you

[drewcam888]

I have never gotten it to work. Why do you need it?

[TheBigBentley]

Im gonna go out on a limb here but I think he wants it so he can uninstall it...Maybe.. I might be wrong though. LOL J/K of course.

No really, I think I need it too. My Touch for some reason just wont pick up satellites anymore. Kinda just happened out of the blue. I was using it just fine a few days ago and now I cant acquire any satellites using either Google Maps Garmin XT or Live Search. Only thing I recently did was install G-Alarm... I'm not sure If that would cause it to stop working though.

There are other posts about this problem..Verizon must have blocked the GPS function....again

[sdlucky7]

^^ Yup... Now the trick is to figure out what they did and how to undo it.

[drewcam888]

I don't understand why someone would want to uninstall the gpsserver cab. Reversing will involve changing qpst and registry settings.

[jonaircon]

Same thing here, out of the blue it stopped working. Never could figure out why a company wants to PO its customers so bad. Would be curious if this just localized or system wide. I am the Minneapolis area.

My XV6900 was working fine with GoogleMaps and Livesearch. That is, until this past Tuesday. Nothing changed on the phone. Now just searches for sats and never finds any. I'm in RI, but I first noticed it when in MD.

Somehow, Verizon must have modified my phone.

I also tried to re-install GPSServer, but since the un-installer doesn't work, re-installing didn't work either.

I might try re-installing MR1 and going for it again, but that's not the right solution if Verizon can find me again and re-modify...

[booberthecat]

Same problem in Jacksonville, Florida area using XV6800 and GoogleMaps.

Assuming this is some action that came from Verizon, I'm very dissappointed in what they have done. What it is costing them to find ways to block the GPS hardware that we all paid for and the loss of customer loyalty has to be more than what they earn on the GPS "service" they offer. Once again, a greedy company that does not see the big picture.

[delow2]

Same experience in Southern California. Everything had been working fine for months, but I lost GPS functionality on Wed 3/18. It's truly hard to understand why Verizon would be so shortsighted. Can't wait to see if someone posts a solution to this problem.

[booberthecat]

OK, it is now working, but I must admit I'm not exactly sure why or how.

I changed the registry settings for PDEAddress and PDEPort to 5C8BC6D8 and 8889, respectively (as posted on another site) using PHM RegEdit and soft reset, but the GPS still did not work. So, I set the settings back to their original values and soft reset again and now the GPS is working fine.

I'd like to see if someone else can replicate this and get the same result. If so, we may have the solution.

So, I would suggest the following steps:

Record the current values of these two registry keys.
Change the settings of these two keys per serfboreds post.
Soft reset.
Change key values back to original settings.
Soft reset.
Test result.
I look forward to hearing if someone else can get this to work.

[booberthecat]

After a wonderful day of enjoying the unfettered use of the GPS hardware that I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT MY XV6800, I have again lost GPS functionality. :(

I sure hope that someone can come up with a remedy for this.

Didn't try your steps, but did do PDEAddress and PDEPort to 5C8BC6D8 and 8889, respectively (as posted on another site) using PHM RegEdit and waited awhile so new settings could take and be written to registry. Had to reset a couple of times and make sure phone had clear view of sky. It took awhile to see the satellites and lock on, so be patient. Did this yesterday and accuracy seemed off some, but today locks in faster and seems to be more accurate. So, for now, it is working again.

[booberthecat]

I tried those settings again and GPS is back!

Thanks for your post and getting me to explore that option again! :)

I'm the Washington DC metro area. Boy am I glad I found THIS thread. My GPS is mysteriously not working now either. I want to try Booberthecat's suggestion but you didn't provide explicit instructions. Are these reg keys under HKLM?

Thanks Drew!
The fix posted by Zaneymonster worked!
I'll paste here too:

2) install Valhalla .cab file for gpsserver (attached)

3) edit the registry and change the following 3 entries:

* \KHLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress = C3CF657E (REG_DWORD Hex)

* \HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort = 7788 (REG_DWORD Decimal)

* \HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode = 0

Reboot. You must do a soft reset before this will work. Get ready for slower locks and less accuracy, but it does work, and it is good enough for turn by turn in Live Search.

I understand most of you have a 6800, and that that is in fact what this thread is supposedly all about, but the 6900 has the same GPSOne chipset and works with the same gpsserver.exe when using the stock MR1 or MR2 roms.

I have done 3 phones today, and it fixed them all! (Noting of course that they no longer work with aGPS, which is a serious drag)

Please also note that I DID NOT install any of the other "fixes" or utilities posted here, just the valhalla .cab file and that's it.

There are some tweaks that may make for faster fixes, but I am still researching those.

I am still hoping that rldleblanc will tell us how he discovered the address and port that worked. I suspect he subscribed to VZNav and did some packet analysis. Either way, thanks man!

[hadmanysons]

booberthecats solution worked like a champ for me. Thanks.

[gijoe411]

I've been trying to get this to work for 3 weeks, Zaneymonster reg edit values was the final piece to the puzzle, THANKS!

[vernk]

same in philadelphia pa

however it would work if i let it search for awhile. by the time i made it to where i'd be going about an hour or maybe a little less, it would have locked in a signal. a couple months of this...

today 5/16 is the first i've tried it since. and it locked in within seconds. i reset and on/off, trying to see if it would do it cold. and it sure locked in quick.

i didn't do anything it just happened.
but im happy, since im heading on a trip tomorrow!

Uninstaller fails on xv6800 under MR2.

Any ideas on how to completely uninstall GPSServer without a complete "device redo"?

BTW, according to Verizon support "the GPS is no longer being blocked and can be used by 3rd party apps." Has anyone found this to be true?

still no go on my xv6800 w/ dcd. it will work after maybe an hour of sitting in ONE position at my house and it will hold the lock for a trip. but if i turn it off and on instantly it will not regain a locked signal.

if there's fix for this i'd love to know

I'm sorry, but what does the SerfTelus cab have to do with COMPLETELY UNINSTALLING the Valhalla Legends GPS Server?

[drewcam888]

Nothing. But i was responding to the post above mine. You can't uninstall the cab. Do a hard reset if you want it gone.
