I'm no expert by any means but I have my Titan (xv6800 for Verizon) unlocked and GPS working fine. The difference I see from yours is your radio. I have radio 3.42.50. If I am not mistaken this is the current recommended radio for GPS capability. You also should install the GC Verizon aGPS cab to prime the GPS. The cab just uses your internet connection to find the current locations of the satellites which provides a 5-15 second lock in most cases. Ill attach the cab so you can install it. Also make sure that Google maps is manually set to use "com 4" and a baud rate of "4800". As far as the "Live" and "Valhalla" problem, I'm not sure because I haven't used either one. Also before you install that radio, make sure your rom is compatible with that radio. Again I am in no means an expert, just a student learning from these forums. Hope this helps.

Do not install the above cab. Look here in the last ten pages for the new cab since verizon is messing with the gps settings. It is in serfboreds signature.

Also try to use htc gps tool or gps viewer to verify that the gps is seeing satellites.
