After I flashed eViL's myTGB v1.0 - A Pure Gingerbread Espresso ROM, I've had problems with my navigation not picking up GPS. It just says is "Searching for GPS..."and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or if there was a fix for it.
I haven't used that Rom but every I have had GPS issues after switching Rom's I followed these instructions laid out real clear and easy at http://teamroyal.net/gps.html
Good luck
Thank You, I have tried a few ROMs too, and this is the first time I've had any GPS problems...I have tried the first two alternatives from the website you posted and I am ganna try the other one..and If that doesnt work I'm ganna try another ROM..
No Problem I tried the third one but my phone was not able to lock on to GPS at all, so I had to use my backup gps.conf file I made before the edit. Let me know if it works. Not having working GPS is a killer.
I tried the alternate and I had no luck...and I tried the ROM i had before and I get the Navigation to work...so I decided to just try out another ROM..and my GPS and Navigation works..But now I have the damn tiny/blurry MMS...and I cant find a fix for it...but Ill keep looking...Thank you for your help...

First of all I would like thank Skywing for writing this GPS Application
Gateway for the xv6800 phone with stock rom or upgraded MR1 rom..
This thread is to show my thanks and to help new ppl like myself
find this app easer.. It took me about haft a day searching two forums
just to find what I was looking for .. so I hope this will help other
new ppl find what they are looking for much easer ..
Again this application was written by “Skywing” and someone wrote
the easy install CAB for his app .. also like thank “gc14“ for writing
the tutorial ..
This Application aGPS aka GPS Server aka (Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab)
Will allow your 100% stock rom or MR1 rom on your xv6800 Phone
to access GPS signal via 3rd party application e.g. MS Live search, Google maps etc..
without the need to unlock the phone or do anything to the phone other than
simply loading the GPSServer.cab file ..
For step-by-step install info. go to: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
To download the CAB go to: http://rapidshare.com/files/165096506/Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab
Show your thanks to Skywing, go to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387
I have personal testing this code on my xv6800 with stock ROM, then I
upgraded to the MR1 ROM from HTC for the xv6800 with WM 6.1 and
install the GPSServer.cab and it works perfect for both ROMs without
doing any unlocking or running anything else other then just the GPSServer.cab
BTW for anyone with the stock ROM running WM 6.0 and would like to
upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 .. you can download the MR1 ROM direly
from HTC
Again this is the, Verizon XV6800 ROM MR1
Release Date: 2008-08-23

If this link does not work you may need to set your “country” first, (top right of the page “select country” set to “United States”
wow .. update: also found out that gc14 made the CAB file as well..
Thanks again gc14

Thanks! It works very good with Google Maps
Is your WIFI works with WM6.1? After I installed MR1, my WIFI is not working anymore. I hope you might be able to help me.
TIA
to all that created this thank you, works flawless on the stock mr2 rom
can't get it to work..
Hi all! I followed this method a while back and had Google maps working great for quite some time! This past weekend I tried to use it with GPS and it couldn't find any satellites. I figured it was maybe too much cloud cover or other interference related to my location. Anyhow, yesterday I updated my XV6800 to MR2, installed the latest Google maps (3.0.0.12) and still cannot get it to find any satellites. after playing with the COM ports and location setting (currently COM4 and Loc ON) without success I installed GPS Toggle, which also cannot find any satellites.
Anyone have any suggestions to get this working again? Does this even work with MR2? I'd be happy to go back to MR1, though MR2 seems to be a little smoother and faster.
Thanks!

thanks drewcam888. I'll check it out this afternoon and let you know how I make out.
BTW, I was looking around my device and I found a different version of gpsapi.dll (hidden) in the Windows directory. I'm thinking this may be the problem. It won't let me modify it though, as it's a system file. I can view it using SKTools, but not modify it.
Can you recommend a file manager program that'll let me move / copy / replace system files?
Thanks!
You can't modify a rom file or one that is created by the rom itself. Or at least I don't know how
Hello,
I'm pretty new here and new to the XV6800. I have a rom version that I downloaded from htc site that under device info reads 3.57.605.1 I don't know what MR1 or MR2 is or is mine an MR3?? Also I have a Radio version of 3.37.75?? My question is can I install this to get GPS or AGPS working on my device? Do I have to install a different radio to get it working?
Thanks,
Chris

Read the thread for a while that drewcam8888 lists above "adapter program to ......" and then make sure you change the registry settings as it describes for Valhalla in the posts from the past couple of days. I believe I posted #627 which has the places to edit for Valhalla. Listen to what others say to make sure you have everything right.
mine failed around the same time but using a different set of cab files which had worked flawlessly on both previous installs of MR1 . Is this perhaps something from verizon?....Anyway having not installed from a wrar file before how do you install the valhalla cab when the redirects disconnect from the server?
I have a xv6800 and i got it last week, the person that i got it from updated the rom. a couple days ago i cleared the storage, which i guess is a hard reset, but i wanted to know if that resets my Rom
thanks
Tyve
resets to a fresh install of your current rom. It removes all none rom files.
so do i hav to re-hack the rom to use google maps?
i have no idea wut im doing,
thanks
Yes you do
dang, that sux. thanks a bunch
my ROM version is 3.57.605.2 does anyone know if that is hacked or not?
Not it is stock verizon MR2
ok, do u know an easy way to hack it, im only 14 and i suk at hacking it
Hi all,
suddenly my GPS is not working anymore. Can enable GPS and it says it is ok. But when i want use Google Maps, or navigation program the icon in taskbar is not there anymore.
Did try GPS Status, nothing....
Did a fresh rom install and wipe everything i can wipe.. nothing not working.
now i want to know is there a tool or adb option to test the hardware if this is still working.... (maybe GPS is broken)
Thanks
Did a RADIO rom flash with the one i already had on my HTC... and problem solved....
Still wondering how it can happen that maybe the radio rom was getting crazy...
had the same problem two days ago, same solution... same no idea for the cause
this kind of strange things was my idea only for windows... suddenly it is not working anymore.. But.. Solve this problem was mutch easier haha
This seems to happen whenever you flash a 2.1 ROM. Even going back to 1.5 doesn't fix the problem and a new radio flash is required.
Regards,
Dave

Try GPSTest from market.

Every now and then manufacturers like HTC will release an update to radio which controls your wifi, data, blutooth. If your current radio is having problems, you will need to update it. Most of the time new radio is included with the update but you can Google individual files as well, hope this explains
anyone else experiencing this? before the update my phone and GPS were great since the update the GPS (using navigation) hardly ever locks and then when it does it then loses lock and doesn't regain it again
help???
What is your softare version number, 1.72 or 1.84? I had the same issue with 1.72, and that along with other bugs got me to go for a custom rom.
After flashing Android revolution 4.0 along with a new radio I get a fix at my GPS almost immediately.
I think you will find some apps on marked named GPS fix, you could try and see if it would be of any help, don't think it's a offical fix for it yet.

Hey guys! I have rooted Wildfire, with CM7. My GPS is not working at all...
I managed to try with GPS Test (nothing- not even one satellite was found) , tried with other ROM - Wildpuzzle (again nothing).
Is there a chance that problem is in my phone software or it's definitely hardware?
Try reflashing the Radio. (Use the version ending with 19.25, If that doesnt work, then try the one ending with 20.10). Its available in the WildPuzzle ROM thread.
Thank you so much! It works with version ending - 19.25.
I treble my device and after a long time the camera stops working, so I decide try an other rom I try Miui 7 so I untreble my device and install, the gps problems starts in MIUI 7 so I install after 2 weeks Pixel Exprience the gps works better but dont work like when I install android P port with treble.
Sorry for my bad english.
Why not just use the correct ROM for your phone if you want everything to work as it should?
