Guest drewbax Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Just got off of the phone with VZ to fix my data. I had to delete my old connection create a new one with the exact same settings. Pulled battery from the phone while it was still on, put it back in and turned it on after 10 seconds. Then I *228 again with option 1 and soft reset. Now everything works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY

Guest theidoctor.org Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 oh yea... is there a way to do this without losing data, or is it impossible right now?
Guest odpz Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 First off, I still can't use data on the phone unless it is wireless, checked that on the Taco Bell free wifi. BT still works, and calling still works. I needs to call tech support back or go to the VZ store (ugh). The port is 8 with a baud of 57600. Before the FW update it would find this same thing but would never get a fix. Now the fix is almost instananeous and is flawless. Also with it plugged into the car charger the program runs at about 60fps in 3d mode, it's awesome. Hope that helps, guys and gals. If anyone could tell me how to get my data back I get the stupid invalid password crap. It is currently @ (my number)@vzw3g.com p/w = blank domain = blank drewbax, Your settings should be: (your number)@vzw3g.com p/w = vzw domain = blank
Guest theidoctor.org Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Any drawbacks aside from if you lose phone signal, you lose gps? im not sure if it has to do with the signal... but i think it may be that it uses cell tower triangulation to get the gps locations... i think thats how the iphone works....
Guest Turborepu Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Sweet! thx go to all the late night testers throughout this thread, and most recently to Azintegra and all those playing with the files last night.. My wife was looking at me all suspicious because i was glued to this screen as I kept reloading the page..
Guest Adrynalyne Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 im not sure if it has to do with the signal... but i think it may be that it uses cell tower triangulation to get the gps locations... i think thats how the iphone works.... Yeah, that would be the AGPS part, but it still requires real GPS, too.
Guest drewbax Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 No it works off of real GPS. I am using iGO GPS software and it actually shows a sky map of the sats that it locks onto and give the coordinates of each. So I know that it is a an actual GPS and not cell triangulation.
Guest theidoctor.org Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah, that would be the AGPS part, but it still requires real GPS, too. yea... maybe there is a hack just for the standalone gps to work but not sure
Guest absolutly Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah, that would be the AGPS part, but it still requires real GPS, too. If thats true, then the question is, will it work with 1x or only EVDO?
Guest theidoctor.org Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) so here is what i know so far... ------ files to download ... ------ 1. set phone to connect as Mass storage... NOT active sync 2. make sure active syn is off in task manager 3. plug phone in to computer 4. load.... the pst? i forget which one 5. make sure .... 2 boxes are checked... i forget lol 6. now what? -------------------------------------------- when i get it all together, i will clean it up and add links to the files later.

Bith flash methods unlock gps. The PDF method left me with a fully functioning phone.
Guest theidoctor.org Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Bith flash methods unlock gps. The PDF method left me with a fully functioning phone. so the pdf method is the one that works right? lol.. did you have to hard reset?
Guest key5000 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Here are some screenshots... I could only get it down to 100 meters while getting screenshots but I had down to 20 meters earlier when I first got it working. Would you or anyone please help me out on this setting: On Google map, I set the GPS setting manually to COM8 and baurate @ 57600 but I don't see any satellite at all (I only see as the first 2 images) What should I check on my setting? any recommendation? How about the setting from "External GPS"? what is the right setting for it? Thanks KEY
