Question [Q] Default GPS settings for Rogers branded Focus?

Can anyone tell me the GPS settings for the Rogers Branded Focus?

I've been mucking with my settings, both from the main diagnostic menu and from the GPS test app, and I seem to have messed up a setting somewhere and cannot get "Location" to show on Bing Maps. It keep saying, 'searching' without returning a location.

I'm Interested in the following settings from the Diagnosis app:
(default settings is displayed as sub-heading when entering the option)

MOLR CP/UP
3G MOLR request type
TLS option

and in the GPS test app:
(*#1472365# from diagnosis main screen)

In the ... menu, go to settings:

QoSAccuracyMeter
(read setting)

QoSTimeoutSec
(read setting)

Any help would be handy.
Thanks.

Thanks! I too get these values but still GPS is not working..In status it says: Location service is off..when I start the tracking, it says "data unavailable, high accuracy". I have tried to toggle to low accuracy but still it does not get changed. GPSinfo app shows GPS as off..

Please help. GPS was working a few days back..but it has stopped working now..has the chip gone bad?

Is wifi turned on? Toggle wifi on/off then try diagnosis again. I got the same message then toggling the wifi got it working.

Default Curious?

I've always wondered why the gps lock was so quick. My theory is that the GPS must heavaly rely on AGPS not a real gps using satalites. The reason I say this is that when tweaking those settings I sometime cannot establish a lock for a while. It also seems to be less smooth almost jittery. Also don't tell the faa but I turned the phone on in airplane mode in an airplaine and could not get a gps fix at all so it really leads me to believe these phones must suffer the same issue the old ones do with not getting gps locks as quickly as we hope. This also makes the GPS speedometer useless as I cannot see how fast my plane is going. LOL.
If I helped you thank me!!!
Waiting to cook my first WP7ROM.
