In my experience, it may take 3-10 minutes before the GPS acquires the first satelite, after having flashed to a new ROM.

Use visual GPS software
Hi dude,
Take a look here,
www.visualgps.net/VisualGPS
download the soft and test your GPS on your mobile, let it configure automatically.
Then lunch your GPS software, like tomtom or else, if needed, try to downgrade your radio to 1.46.30.11.
If needed try all radio till u get the gps fix with visualGps.
Make me know if works dude.

thanks i will try it and give some result tommorow

I think you just need to try it at a different location. Sometimes the response of the phone is dependent on the location.
For example, I work on one of the top floors of one of the tallest buildings in the part of town where I work, and have a clear view to the sky in all directions (absolutely no obstructions). Yet, I can leave my phone in the window for over an hour and never get a satellite fix. I can even open the window and stick the phone out the window and still get no fix. However, as soon as I leave work, and get to a different location (even with buildings towering over me) I get a fix. On the flip side, at home, I sit down away from the window, the window has thick curtains, and there is another house right outside my window creating an obstruction and yet I have no problem getting a fix.
My suggestion...go to another location when possible, soft reset the phone, and restart the application that uses gps. If you are driving, even better (it's more likely that you will reach an area where the position of your phone with regard to the satellite is good and you will get a fix).
This has worked for me irrespective of the radio rom (and I have flashed 1.38, 1.41, 1.46, and 1.50 radio versions to my phone and have always gotten a satellite fix).

Thanks for your help guys...
but still no luck...i'd tried all day long but still no satelite seeing on my trinity.
so anyone can give me link for radio??i only have 1.41...,146....and 1.50....

try install GPs test cab

i think your problem is your radio version try the radio version that i mention yesterday

yeah, it should be radio related, or your GPS chip is having a random hardware error unrelated to your ROM flashing. its pretty unlikely that the problem was the ROM (although i guess anything is possible..)
Recently, my GPS will work, and then i'll turn it off.. when i want to turn it back on it sometimes can't locate the GPS on any com port... most times i need to soft reset to get it working again.. not sure what that's about.
if you saw one satellite for 30 seconds, then there's hope for you make sure you're outside with clear view of the sky.. and definitely try a different radio ROM.. beyond that, i'm not sure if there's anything you can do

update radio to 1.50 (http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=66) over sspl (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1132634&postcount=1)

[Jan. 9 Update, sticky?] aGPS fix after running Leaked VZW Customizations

January 9 Update: aGPS now working. If you're having QPST issues, try the bigjr99's fix that ScratchyPDX recommended here. This allowed me to get QPST to recognize my Vogue in XP. THe real issue, though, was allowing the leaked Verizon ROM to run its customizations. This installed custom Verizon drivers that essentially lock down the GPS even if you reflash the radio. The fix I used can be found here.
-------------ORIGINAL POST-----------------
I posted this over at PPCGeeks, but I figured I'd try XDA too. I've tried the instructions both on the XDA wiki and on the PPCGeeks post, unsuccessfully. I'm not sure what the problem is. I haven't seen anyone with a similar issue, and I've been fiddling with various settings for a while.
I'm still having a problem getting this to work. It doesn't automatically install the drivers, I have to manually select them (plus, it only works in Vista). So then I follow all the steps exactly, the only difference is I only get one COM port in QPST (com3, which says SURF... next to it). So once I set everything up, GMaps and LiveSearch both find the GPS but never find any satellites.
My Vogue was set up as follows: xv6900 > official leaked Verizon ROM > 2.31 unlocker > NFSFAN Verizon 1.09, and uses the 3.77 radio. I had GPS working great with the Valhalla CAB on the leaked ROM, and I'm considering reverting back to that.
Please help! Is anyone having the same problem?

Edit: I'm evidently not the only one with this problem. Hopefully it'll get some more visibility.

I am experiencing the same issue. Trying NFSFAN 1.10 right now. I'll let you know if I find a solution, it could work for you as well...

Thanks for the reply-glad I'm not the only one. I quite like my current ROM in terms of speed and stability, and I've read reports of it working on NFSFAN Verzion 1.08, so hopefully it get sfigured out soon.

Same issue here. I've tried using NSF's 1.10 and Drellisdee's 1.12 and can't get either to work. I haven't reverted back to the leaked rom yet, but I was working fine with the leaked rom and valhalla also. Hope someone can find the fix.

Take a look at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3123850&postcount=7
If I understand your problem description, I was having the same problem until I read that post. It worked!
Good luck.
BTW - I'm using NFSFAN's Verizon 1.09 ROM

same issue here with OMJ ROM
I was able to get through the qpst programming and loaded the GC VerizonaGPSfix cab. I still can't lock on any satellites.
Maybe not ROM Specific.
I am using Radio 3.42.50.

My issue is not getting qpst to work as i have already done this. It seems that there is a gps issue with using the 3.37 radio on these roms even if you have gotten it running on the stock leaked rom with customizations run.
madsuse, you must be having some other issues as with your radio veraion and a properly run agps fix you should have no problem with omj's roms. I had the same set up as you prior to the leaked rom with no issues.

This thread at PPC Haven might help: http://www.ppchaven.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=168&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=25
I've tried some of what was suggested, it still isn't working for me, but it might help. Some people are having similar problems.
@bigjr99: I think that might be it. Quite a few people have had trouble with the aGPS fix and NFSFAN ROMs, especially on the VZW radio. However, it has been done before, so I'm really not positive. I"m going to try the new Bell radio 3.42.50 and see if it makes a difference, then I'll give up on NFSFAN (apparently he's left several forums now, once for warez and then just recently for abusing moderator priveleges) and switch to either OMJ or WDM.
@ScratchyPDX: thanks! it works on my computer (in XP) now, no need to borrow a vista one. But it doesn't change anything else, I can reach QPST and successfully program w/out getting any satellites.

I am definately thinking it has something to do with the 3.37 radio and running customizations on the leaked rom. I tried multiple different roms including nsfan, omj, drellisdee, and one other. Neither the agps fix or valhalla worked on any of them.
I have now reloaded the leaked rom and again let customizations run. did the agps fix and google maps would show me in the middle of the pacific. Ran valhalla and moved around files to the correct places and instant dead on gps.
I don't know what the problem is, but it looks like I am stuck with the leaked rom until I go back to radio 4.42

bigjr, you mean I guess radio 3.42?
I've confirmed the problem is related to not the radio, but the CUSTOMIZATIONS on the Verizon ROM. They replace the GPS drivers with some idiotic VZ-Navigator-specific crap. If you're feeling daring try this and let me know how it works:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=581029&postcount=204
So, no problem with NFSFAN or even the radio. just the customizations, which is hard to revert to (cuz there's no previous VZW ROM, and running Bell/Sprint customization willl prob. just f*ck things up even more). I'm not sure how the 3.42 radio-only flash would affect the drivers. This is my understanding as of now, correct me if I'm wrong!
This may do the trick, I haevn't tried it yet though: http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS

Yep, that was the problem. Awesome sub-15s locks indoors with mediocre cell reception. Anyone who let leaked-VZW customizations run before flashing a custom ROM be sure to check out this post!

If you are using my Verizon Rom, only steps 1-15 must be performed from the AGPS Fix

AWESOME!
Thanks, now I can use GPS freely.
Fabio

@NFSFAN: Yep, everything was already set up. But the VZW Leaked customizations still screw things up. Great ROM NFSFAN.

Have any of you guys tried upgrading to the Bell 3.42.50 radio?
I've been running it since August. I use both google maps and TomTom6.
I am a Pilot with AirCanada Jazz, I live in BC, I am based in Montreal.
I fly varied routes across the East coast / Eastern canada
My GPS never fails to pick up sats within 10 seconds, no matter what program, no priming necesary. I'll use TomTom in my car in Montreal, fly home to Castlegar then use it in my Van there....no probs.
I even showed it off once using Google maps to show us lurching down the runway in Montreal and departing east, it kept up untill we accelerated through 160 kts, then the maps couldn't keep up (still showed lat/long though)
Cheers

jmitr, I've floashed my radio to 3.42 and back before enabling aGPS, and there's very little difference in trems of connectivity. Some people report that 3.37 gives slightly better service, although 3.42 may work better in low-reception areas (I can't confirm this, I've just seen posts about it). I'm very satisfied with 3.37 though, I'm trying not to mess around to much now that mine is working so well.
If you do choose to upgrade radios, you would have to reconfigure using QPST on Verizon. I'm not sure what your carrier is, but you may be able to find the QPST codes/instructions over at 2nd post of this thread on PPCGeeks.
Edit: oh wait, according to your signature you don't have to worry about any of this. This thread covers problems on Verizon Wireless XV6900s. I guess that was more of a suggestion for us, and no, that doesn't work. The files that the VZW ROM brought along are not affected by radio switches, sadly. I've tried.

help
i have been working at this for 3 days now. have done all the steps in many different forums. the lastest was the agps fix form here in xda. i then installed tom tom but stated that there is no valid gps device. i was ot able to dl the agps provisioning cab though. the link does not work does anyone have cab? tried using the valahalla cab as well but that still did not work.

Tell me all the ROM updates and radio updates you've installed, and I may be able to help.
Also, Test using Google Maps or Microsoft LiveSearch. Once those lock on, then launch TomTom.

Hmm, I'm really no expert on this stuff, I can only speak for what worked for me. If you let the customizations run when you flashed the ROM, then Valhalla should be working for you and I'm not sure what the problem is. If you haven't let them run, you need to perform this fix.

verizon xv6900 gps

well after searching around for hours trying to figure how I can get my gps enabled the simplest way for google maps, I still don't understand what I need to do. here's my rom version, release date, and my radio number:
3.14.605.1 rom
10/3/08 rom date
3.37.78 radio
I got the update from the verizon support page. I've downloaded gpsserver and I also have gps test, and gpsviewer. when I upgraded the rom, I didn't stop the customization step. I have an 8gb sdhc card in as well. I don't really want a highly custom rom but if I do need to update it, what's the best one to get? I have an unlimited data plan so I'm not worried about the gps being agps or just gps. whatever will work the fastest. will I have to reauthenticate my phone? if I need to download anything else please give me a working link.

does anyone have any suggestions??

No need to upgrade your radio. Some users are using a Bell radio 3.42.xx but I wouldn't bother with it.
What is really screwing you up is letting the customizations run. Even if you were to do a hard reset you will still be screwed. Letting the customizations run basically make the GPS useless unless you use the VZ Navigator. The customizations changes config settings deep into the ROM that a hard reset may do nothing but it is worth a shot.
The GPS on my phone worked on my Vogue without any fixes by not letting the customizations run. However it was not perfect but I was able to get a lock.
The threads below may be of some help to you.

If all else fails then you may have to resort to flashing a pre-GPS rom & radio then flash back making sure that you do not let the customizations run.
Note: This will void any warranty that you might have.

well I figured out a way that works but it's beyond me why it does. I did the vw update with radio v. 3.37.78 from their site and let the customizations run. did the soft reset, then installed valhalla gps server, another soft reset, then installed serf agps telus and one more soft reset. I then ran gps viewer and found that satellites were starting to lock. opened google maps 3.0, enabled gps and with a minute, I had my position locked and tracking with anywhere from 4 to 8 satellites tracking. so everything is good to go I guess. one thing I noticed though, when I use gps viewer, I am acquired by the gps but my position is anything but being in one spot. the coordinates jump around to any possible combination. the speed seems relatively accurate but updates slowly it seems. I also downloaded a free program called gpscyclecomputer to see if I could get some better live numbers for movement and position but they're just ar crazy as the gps viewer. any

Glad you got it working. People have had success with the valhalla gps server for quite a while. Then Verizon did something to shut it down. Now I guess one of the fixes is this serf agps fix. This route will work fine if you have a data plan which I don't.
I would worry so much about the lat & long numbers jumping around. I see this with Tomtom too. The important thing is that you are now getting a lock.

GPS Server
Thank you for this wonderful app! When I first installed it, all was well used the "location" function in Google Maps - perfect! But then it quit working, for no apparent reason. I performed a "hard" reset on the device, and re-ran the GPSServer cab, and I still cannot get it to work on either of my devices. Did Verizon distribute a "poison pill" to disable the GPS again? Please help.

No Luck, Still Need Help
I'll give a brief description then maybe some can help.
I have a Verizon XV6900<br>

I have followed the Verizon MR1 GPS Instructions installing the Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab and the skywing GPSServer and still Google Maps or TomTom will not work. After I did the Valhalla Legends GPSServer I did get it to work one time but has not worked since and I made no changes, it just never worked again.
Any suggestions? I would like to not have to flash or lose anything on my phone or go to a custom rom.
Thanks

Ok assuming because your using a stock verizon rom you let verizon's customization run as well. Which is possibly why you have this issue. Don't let any customization unless its a Custom rom

I don't believe all the steps above are completely necessary
*Install Coke 2.31 Unlocker
*Flash a stock rom without gps (I used an old sprint rom like above)
*Reset with pin just before customization
*Flash Verizon's newest Stock rom like above (I have used and confirmed works great)
*Reset with pin just before customization
*Flash a NSFAN rom of your choosing 6.1 or 6.5
*Let Customizations Run!
*Install A GPS app of your liking (I use tomtom, nsfan always includes GPS viewer)
Side notes
As each rom is installed if you accidentally let it startup fully dont worry its ok, Its just very important not to run Customization for the stock roms.
If you need to use active sync during these steps make sure you
*Remove from Airplane Mode
*Un-check option under USB to PC (fast syncing)

Is this the defiitive answer to this? I have radio 3.37.78 and I thought attempting to downgrade the radio was a very bad idea.
Got it fixed see post below for what worked for me.

Okay I got aGPS working on stock Verizon 3.14 Rom with 3.37.78 Radio. Didnt have to use QPST or anything! What I did was installed Vahalla Fix. Then Telus Fix for Vahalla then out of sheer chance I then installed the cab below. Did a *22899 phone rebooted, loaded up google maps and got lock within 5 sec inside my apartment, nowheres near windows. By the way I live in florida so my apartment has about 10 inches concrete walls. I dont know where I got this cab from but seems to have done it for me. Im going to try to NFSFAN's v9 rom and see If I have the same luck.

By the way I live in florida so my apartment has about 10 inches concrete walls. I dont know where I got this cab from but seems to have done it for me. Im going to try to NFSFAN's v9 rom and see If I have the same luck.

Just do a quick search on the forums. I used the VahallaGPS Server from the wiki then used Telus for Vahalla cab then used the cab posted on my last post.

So Install the vhalla fix, then telus fix and the GC Verizon aGPS.cab and dial *22899. when it reboots, is it a soft reboot or hard reboot. I don't want to loose anything on the phone. Also Does the GPS Use any DATA, because my phone has a data block. I will like to have a gps with my phone, without using data.
Thanks
If you could post up the cabs when you get them it would be awesome. And also an update to tell us if you got GPS working again

Update: I've gotten it to search for GPS but has a weak signal and not been able to get some. I am going to try to get in a clear space to check if it does work or not.
I've also uploaded the files and here's a link for step by step instructions:

completly lost
I have been reading these post for hours and i am lost.
Can someone help. Hopefully I have not messed things up to bad. I tried to follow post 13. but when i open google maps it only says seeking gps satellite (0)
I am completly lost and really need help....i think in fact my brain is throbbing.
When i try to run the QuickGPS it tells me valid time : expired (not sure why
Windows 6.1 Pro
Rom is (3.14.605.1)
Rom date 10/03/08
radio 3.37.78
Please please please help.

You need to follow the wiki, to the letter.
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
I followed it exactly as instructed, and now (for past couple of months) have fully functional aGPS working on my Verizon XV6900. Note, you will be downgrading your radio to 3.37.77, but if you follow the process from beginning to end it will work.

I would flash NFSFAN's ROM then see if your GPS works. You shouldn't have do the aGPS fix.

This worked for me
Stock XV6900 MR1
Windows 6.1 Pro
After unsuccessful attempts at getting GPS working by using the Valhalla_GPS_Fix, Serf Telus aGPS, GC Verizon aGPS, editing the regestry and numerous *22899 programmings, I ended up doing the following and GPS starting working great:
- Downloaded and installed VZ Navigator (I did not run the program or subscribe to the VZ Navigator service)
As soon VZ Navigator was installed (as stated, I have not run the program or subscribed to the VZ Navigator service) the XV6900 was able to quickly lock onto satellites using the GPSTest program. Google Maps is now using GPS perfectly - which was my goal.
I found that using the HTC QuickGPS program to download the most current satellite location data before starting the GPS seems to most always help.
Hope this can help someone else loose a little less sleep...

Could someone answer the thing in bold. I would really like to know this. I don't have a data package and would not want a huge bill coming at the end of the month saying that I've been using the data. I know s.lanso got his to work even though he has a DATA block but could someone else confirm?

The answer is it depends on how your phone is configured. It your phone is configured as GPS mode 2 or 4, then the phone will try to use the data from the towers to get a quicker fix.
If it is configured as a mode 0, then it just uses the sats and no data connection is needed.
You will need PHM registry editor to check and possible change these settings.
I don't have the exact keys right ion front of me, but do a forum search on hklm and you should find it.

[HELP] Wildfire GPS

Im currently on cy7 and ive tried many times of fixing my gps lock speed with the agps fix. Ive edited the gps.conf file with my countries servers but everytime i enter gps status, i cant lock in any satellites.

Does the gps icon appear in your statusbar when its trying to lock on ? If the answer is no then you might be needing to flash radio image to repair. Lots of entries about this issue in threads.
UTID

no i didnt appear, but after 6 hours of lots of effort i managed to flash the .19.25 radio. I actually locked into about 9 sats with my configurations and my country's pool servers. ITS OK I DONE IT !!

Now if you want you can flash the new radio back. Just leave gps turned on,reboot to cwm and flash the newer radio back and should be working still.

Use fasterfix app form market! I think it's for free! It might do the needful or use an advance app called gps essential for fixing your problem!

It was just the bug of CY7. I changed to splash mod everything is working perfectly. I will give a shot of changing my radio back to the latest one! Thanks

[Q] GPS

Hi boys, i'm in problems again... i think u can help, or maybe try, if u want, u know.
Well, i don't remeber when, but suddenly gps stop works for me, or if it works, very very very inexact, for example, precision about 1000m... or maps says "ur location is unaivable", i'd try sense 3.5 roms, sense 3.0 roms, cm7 roms, o2 roms, now i'm with miui and still have the problem.
My phone drops accidentaly a few times, and before that, i'd try aGPS fix... but i don't know what's the problem... well, anyone have idea?
thanks!!!
PS: now with MIUI, maps says "ur loc is unaivable" and every app that uses location loop at "getting loc"... doesn't work.

I had a problem where my GPS refused to start (the blinking 'waiting for GPS lock' icon didn't come on) and flashing the patch in recovery worked perfectly. I now have perfect GPS, and have managed to find up to 12 satellites concurrently.

thanks Lazer, i think this gonna help someone

I have a similar problem, my GPS can't find any satelite. I'm using ICS 0.7 and tried with and without aGPS Fix. GPS Status doesn't do anything, it also doesn't find any satelite at all.

ohhh, and what do u think about this? anyone know about a fix or cause of this prob? i dont feel alone at all right nao... see ya

I had the same problem, GPS turns on but it can't find any satellites. I got it fixed under warranty. I think they changed the gps antenna cable, if I remember right. I was changing roms back and forth trying to figure out the cause, but it was a hardware problem.

You can try changing your radio version.

and do u unroot/unrecovery ur phone? ****, it seems like a real trouble
i think i'm gonna explode my phone and take new one from my comp, stock the phone again seems really really heavy

I just flashed the alpharev hboot downgrader, and then the stock 2.2 PB99IMG.zip found here from some sticky. All from recovery and that's it. I read that you should use the stock 2.3 image, so that you wouldn't lose your warranty, but my phone was unbranded, so I guess it didn't matter.

So I opened the phone today and dis- and reconnected the GPS antenna cable (the cable on the left). Didn't do anything though.

I'm using 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

Install official HTC 2.3 update, it doesn't void your warranty.
