Yet I suppose the reason for this new feature is for those moment when there is no GPS signal. Dense trees... Tall building...
I have many othe GPS software too. I normally use iGO my way and Tom Tom. But it doesn't mean I don't use google maps. It's one more nice toy.

VZW vs DCD

Ok so here is a quick question for you. I got my new device and whats better to flash on it? DCD or the new VZW release? Let me know and I will do it?
DCD is way ahead of the curb to any software release from any company, with his software it pays in spades what you originally got from the phone out of the box. GPS, PAN, DUN, sting SMS, faster better use of CPU and RAM the list is endless. hands down DCD's ROM is the industry standard.
the added value to the phone is nothing short of outstanding.
no question. dcd.
There is absolutely no way you can dobetter than DCD's Roms.

Oh boy, don't get me started. Read my rants in the thread I started about the official release. The only think worse you could do to your phone other than putting the VZW release on it is running it over with your car after pulling it out of the back of a dump truck thats filled with molten lava, uranium, and fast flying neutrino radiation. I would rather try conjuring the spirits of my dead grand mother in hopes that she could build a better ROM than this crappy, late to the game, outdated months before it came out, non supported, lacking GPS , bullsh*t ass VZW ROM.
I guess what I am trying to say is I would go with DCD's ROM ;c)
DISCLAIMER: Before anyone gets offended, this is solely my opinion (granted taken to an extreme!). Thank you for taking the time to view.
what i think is sad is all the people who won't flash anything but stock have suffered through all these months with 2.09 only to be rewarded with a crippled 6.1 with useless gps.
at least now you can unlock and flash to dcd knowing that you can revert to stock without bricking since you now have a stock gps rom. that is going to be the only thing this rom is good for.

Why do people continue to insist that the phone GPS is all that and a side of fries?
Has it ever occurred to you that some people dont give a rat's behind about GPS functionality on their phone? Guess what, I dont - I have a dedicated autonomous GPS which blows the crap out of anything you will get on your 6800's "gps" function.
Its not all about GPS you know - imagine that? There is a universe where things other than GPS is important
I've also tried a few of dcd's roms - great stuff - no doubt about it. But for the apps I run, the stock ROM seems to be better - blows your mind, I know.

I have a number of dedicated business and medical applications that run better with the stock rom than a few custom roms I've tried. For what/how I use my 6800 for, stock edges out custom roms.
If you use your 6800 like a toy, than its possible that a dcd or similar rom offers benefits. But for my purposes, the custom roms werent cutting.

Sorry, but those applications are just that - applications. They arent the same thing as what you can get on a dedicated unit. They are nothing more than maps - just like mapquest
But if you want something that a dedicated GPS unit can do that the 6800 cant with GPS enabled I'll tell you....
Real-Time traffic
And no, you dont have true real-time traffic on the 6800 since it isnt capable of accepting FM RDS signals
Listen, there is no sense arguing about it further - if you are happy with the GPS on the 6800 then isnt that what matters? I was not, hence, the reason I dont care about the whole GPS/custom rom thing. Enabling GPS on the 6800 was such a low priority for me since I didnt need it.
If you are happy with it and it serves your needs, then great.

Well, I asked. I have never ran one of those programs so I have no idea how they compare to stock/DCD roms.
I use my device like a "toy" as much as I use it for e-mail, Excel editing and other business type applications.
Thanks for educating us.

I usually refrain from posting, but err wha? This confusingly senseless posts seems to have dragged me out of my cave...
Is FM not only used as a very low cost alternative to using Cell Phone Data Networks? It is the same network built out by MS to support their MSN Direct Watches that they are now leasing to services like Garmin for GPS Traffic... Since the tech you mentioned is simply there to give the "real" GPS device access to data, how is it any "better"?
Do they release updates to their non-PDA GPS setups faster? Otherwise, it should be the same (provided the cell phone has data coverage)...
Unless Garmin doesn't provide real time traffic at all on their PDA stuff?
I too am curious on the apps though... As DCD 3.2.6 is the fastest ROM I've ever touched on my Mogul (not saying much since I've only owned it 1.5 months and have only ran Stock + Stock latest + DCD 3.2.5 and 3.2.6). It runs everything faster and just "better".
I don't use my PDA as a "toy" so I'd recommend you not lump anyone who doesn't do exactly what you do into the kid with a toy category.
Depending on your applications needs you might be better off using the kitchen for DCD roms to be sure the stuff you need is included.
I had to add the Enterprise option to my ROM so it would sync with my exchange server (as my phone has to be able to enforce my corporate exchange policies).

Its only a pointless post if you didnt go back far enough in the thread to see where someone was asking me about something specific.
Either the 6800 is capable of receiving live traffic updates or its not - it obviously cant get RDS so we know its not getting updates there. Can it get it over another network?

EXACTLY! Thats what I've been saying all along - depending on your needs, the stock rom will be fine or you may need to go with a custom rom
Now we are back on topic
My TomTom software pulls real-time traffic. Live Search can even pull the traffic in real time..provided you have a data connection.
That is the real difference, not that it cannot get the traffic but the method it does and if it costs anything. I got the unlimited data so it is a non-issue to me, but with a limited data plan a dedicated GPS will win out based on that function alone.

What medical app runs better on a stock ROM than on a dcd ROM? Please name any specific app? Lexi-...? PocketMed? Harrison's? Even Epocrates?
If you're going to make this claim publicly, back it up with ANY specific app you've used which runs better on stock in your opinion so others can weigh in or test your claims. That's only fair when you're slandering dcd ROM's as better for "play" than "work." If you have "a number of..... apps that run better with the stock rom" surely you can name at least one, but I notice you don't.
I say, put up or shut up.

Then why waste your time posting here then? If stock if great for you then why waste your time on a forum for making custom ROMs? I think the GPS in the Titan is just as good as any hand held. TomTom, Live Search, Google Maps and others all can receive realtime traffic through the standard data network. Also TomTom devices are Windows CE embedded devices and use bluetooth connection to a data phone for the real time traffic and other services. So for me having one unit that I can carry to do GPS, email (work and personal), Geocaching, Bible, and internet search is invaluable. Since VZW seems to want to charge for using the GPS then we have DCD. If you don't care about the internal GPS then be happy with the stock ROMs. Better or faster is a matter of opinion that is true, but if I don't have to deal with all the bloatware that comes with the stock ROM the less that will take up precious memory. For me DCD/GC has made my phone a tool that enables me to work outside of my office, it is definitely not a toy.

I've read every page of this thread prior to posting. I read far more than I post by a long shot. I rarely post without listening (reading) first.
I posted because FM RDS is simply a data connection. Nothing more, Nothing less. With that in mind it would mean as long as the 6800 has a data connection it should show the same exact traffic information as a standalone "real" GPS device, unless either real-time traffic isn't a provided feature or the traffic provider prioritizes one device class over another.

I wasn't slamming you as being inaccurate in your usage findings. There are far too many variations of this device to be absolutely certain they don't have more than just cosmetic differences. I was just adding to the thread collective my experience of DCD being a LOT faster than stock. As I also pointed out, my experience with the Mogul doesn't run that long. I just recently moved to it from my HTC Wizard.
Although it does help if you cite specifics. Such as "App XYZ runs faster" or whatnot so someone else using it can chime in and agree or what not. Unless you wrote the app for yourself you can't assume none of us run it

For those who updated to the official VZW ROM

Ok so anything I need to know? Besides backing up contacts/calendar, do I have to call Verizon or was this only for custom roms? Anything else before I go it would be helpful. Any mistakes or tricks you found out while updating too. Thanks. I am really scared (even with this offical rom).
edit: I MIGHT update. Still having doubts.
1) Install Update
2) Dial *228 select option 2
That was it. Just finished restoring my backup and installing my favorite apps seems to work just fine
wow.. you guys are actually using the VZW ROm.. after they Locked out third party GPS and Rev A is still ****ty?

I don't use GPS, I prefer other devices, and I don't use it for data, the only things I care about are if it makes calls and if the WiFi and bluetooth work correctly. Not everyone has the same priority for a phone.

What are you talking about? RevA was working perfectly for me with the MR1 update - I was getting speeds right where I should have been getting them.
And like the person above stated, not everyone's priority is on gps
I cannot do a full back up with Active Sync anymore? I guess the older versions allow me to do it.
I am just picking the official rom since there is less steps and less margin of error. But really I haven't decided on what to do just yet. I do have my own seperate Garmin nuvi I use.
Can you see what speeds your getting with Rev. A? Also why didn't you have to call Verizon. Is it not a complete wipeout like a hard reset? Thanks in advance!

When I upgraded from stock rom to the mr1 update, it did not wipe out the a-key or dmu settings, nor should it.

I updated and I don't regret it one bit...I actually like the VZnavigator, I had it on my LGvx9800 "the V" and it saved me from being lost so many times that when I bought my 700w I missed it so bad I almost went back to the V...
I got google maps on the Treo but I had no GPS at the time, then I got my 6800 and flashed to DCD's latest and greatest and I loved it except it sometimes took 5 to 10 mins for Live search or Google maps to locate me and neither of them had turn by turn voice prompts...and by the time they located me I was so lost i had to get directions from some nearby address to where I was going without GPS....VZ Navigator connects in less then 10 seconds at my house and even at the Airport where I work...!!! I don't mind paying for things that I like...
I guess I am happy with my Rev-0 speeds.
Just tested it I got 1.17 Mbps (1198.4 kbps). Since I do not use my phone with a laptop I guess Rev-A wouldn't be needed as much.
I appreciate everyone for posting here. Thanks! Still its good to know I don't have to call Verizon like whne I had to do a hardrest. I will still wait on upgrading. Reading more experiences from people. But the need to upgrade is definetly diminishing somewhat with time. lol

Verizon Radio and GPS

Now that there is a way to unlock the phone is there a way to use the internal FM Radio and GPS on the Verizon Touch Pro?

Not yet. We are still waiting for that function.

GPS is working but it's not unlocked. Its tied to VZ Nav like the stock ROM.
As far as the FM Radio I dont beleive we have one. We have a slightly differnt chip than the rest of the world as well as the lack of memory.
The reason that brings me to this conclusion: Flashed sprint ROM with a known working radio program and it just locks my phone up. Anwyas, thats my GUESS.
Not sure if anyone else has seenthis but it was posted over at PPCGEEKS this morning.

Yeah, but its Stand Alone GPS. Not aGPS. Stand alone sucks. Yeah, it will work if you have 10 to 15 minutes possibly to wait on a fix.
BUT I will say this... If they unlock GPS then someone should be able to unlock the aGPS ;c)
Eitherway.... I guess its better than nothing. Also, if you can get a lock wth VZNav, which is aGPS then you could just launch your normal GPS app. But eitherway, its all speculation... Lets see what happens.... I got my fingers crossed!
Just an FYI, on the GSM Variants were finding improved GPS with aGPS disabled...

calling out the greatest cookers her on XDA

My idea is if the gps is working fine on the htc hd2.
Is it possible to cook those files and software in a rom for the raphael.
And then look if the raphael gets a faster gps fix without 3de party software or other tricks.
This is just an idea of my to try it out and watch what happens.
So if you like this idea can you try this out in your new rom ?
Thank you already
Do you think that 10-30 seconds is too long for a GPS fix? That's how fast is GPS fix on my Raph.
If it is 10 -30 sec a would be happy.
I would get nothing or i would wait 1h 30m.
It's very annoying if i have a fix and then it is gone again.
I have used a lot of programs registery tricks or other tweaks roms and radio's but i won't work for me.
I am using the gps for walking in the forest so i can get my way back.
Several times i was lost and needed to find my way back on my own.
And it won't hurt to try this out.
If this works out with the htc hd2 files and programs other cooks can use those files in there roms.
Check your radio number, then install suitable rilphone to it and then use QuickGPS
Currently getting GPS location under 30 seconds consistently by directly starting google maps.
Using:
Latest Energyrom 10/29
Radio 1.14.25.35 with corresponding rilphone.dll
I've never found any benefit to using 3rd party apps except maybe for enjoying the beautiful screen gpstest shows for 5 minutes before it even starts to work.
There are rare times when I can't get a gps lock with google maps when i actually tried gpstest only to realize that it can't get a lock either.
One thing you can try is to simply run quickgps before you use gps...especially if you're in a new area.
Seems like in the woods (geocaching), the GPS really fails to track anything. If you move slower than 1mph, it really doesn't update your location, and you can be walking for a mile. Walk faster and it'll find your location lickety split.
I get a fix in about 15 seconds on the second floor of my house with my Raphael. It just hates tracking when you're walking slow. :/

Interesting... Now I know why my raph gets a fix faster when in a moving car, rather than when I sit at home
And yes, running QuickGPS before Google Maps really helped me a lot...
So that is why i can't get a fix in the woods i need to move fast really fast to get a fix.
So raphael gps is only useable in my car.
But what will happen if whe use the htc hd2 gps drivers on the raphael ?
If this makes the raphael gps better why not trying it out?
I would like to port it to the raphael but i don't have the know how to do it.

Those drivers won't work on your device. The hardware is different. I can't even use Topaz GPS drivers on my device without breaking GPS completely.
Thank you captain for your answer.

New radio 0000.0321 observations

Just to let you all know how I have found this new radio on my TG01
I have tried changing to this radio with various roms but with no luck, however using Mirlog's new MiROM1_rel. 5 with this radio cooked into the rom I have not had any ARM FATAL messages.
I have also noticed that since using this rom the gps start-up is almost instant without having to use GpsMod. Previously on both 0016 and 0017 radio the gps would take a good 10mins to get a fix without GpsMod so good news
But I have also noticed that on this radio both with GpsMod and without after 10-20mins use the gps stops and does not restart. If I exit and restart IGo then it works for a few minutes and stops again and if I soft reset it works again for a bit longer but stops again so bad news
Call quality is better than previous versions but not brilliant however the quality is consistent no matter who I call so this is better overall
Mobile internet is faster, browsing sites, downloading and sending emails zips along now compared to before. I have to be honest and say I have not measured the speed but it is noticeable so good news again
So generally a much better radio all round but the gps dying all the time is too much so I will reflash and change my radio back to 0017
How has everyone else found this version?

Mobile internet is faster, browsing sites, downloading and sending emails zips along now compared to before. I have to be honest and say I have not measured the speed but it is noticeable so good news again
So generally a much better radio all round but the gps dying all the time is too much so I will reflash and change my radio back to 0017
How has everyone else found this version?

To be honest i have found GPS sucks except on official roms, strange i know, but always get loss of signal after so long and it never really recovers to be reliable until i restart my phone. Call quality is much better, closest competitor for us uk users is 0300 but this is definately better.
Which version did you use ? iGO Primo 1.2 ?
Primo but last years version, I did play with 1.2 but its rubbish (looses gps every few minutes, then reboots my TG01 and no TTS even following all the instructions)
When it stops even if I exit Primo and open GpsMod it shows nothing.
The original TG01 custom roms used to be like this but they were radio 0016
wow, your report seems great. I'll try out the radii tonight!
With Primo 1.2 and latest Radio 321 i loose GPS about 15-20 minutes...
My first test was made using 300.76... GPS works without problem...
But since 321, my latest test, i loose GPS like HTC device especially HD²...
Then i think you are right... everything is better but GPS loose every time...
I need make a test with other Navi software... or GPS tools...
i will ask Nokser NOW !

Maybe.. anyone test Navi etc. in my ROM, because in this moment me TG01 is dead ...
Dead, like real Dead ? or something can be made to restore device ?
@ Nokser Fan users...
I ask help about feedback with Navi software, can you confirm keep Sat fix is rubbish !!
To keep everyone updated, I used Mirlog's radio kitchen and switched to 0018 radio (which I have never used before) and the gps is working ok combined with GpsMod
In conclusion anyone wanting a good stable fast radio use 0321 but if you need a good working gps then switch back to 0017 or 0018.
Same conclusion !
To have a good issue with calling and browsing and something other than GPS... use 321...
if you want stable and good feature back to original Radio provided by Chef's...
Important:
If you use new RADIO-....0321, then you must try too new driwers+new apps..
I have this same problems in other radios..
Nokser... you share nothing with XDA... only ROM with new feature...
All users give not a good feedback about your latest ROM because you use a method to force user to stay with you !
Method does not really good, but your ROM seems to be good !
Then Where is New Drivers ? where is New apps ?
share something... or do not say : hihihhi ! use new 'from my rom'
But this all opinion isn't from my test ROM, only from test Radio...
So funny, i love You Nokser !
and about your GREATEST drivers and apps ?
You give something to communauty or always a Chef's Secret ?
forgive ... . I do not understand ...

I will be devils advocate. I do not know Nokser's roms but if they are really good , they are much more worth than all this idiotic animations, skins, pictures and other production for "children" so do no say that Nokser share nothing. Good rom is everything.

i agree Fxdjacentyfxd. We should stop flaming other members... At least we have developers, lets not try to make our TG01 community any smaller... Be grateful. I know i cant exactly talk as i havent developed any thing for our device, but i try to keep things going Please everybody calm down.
• idiotic animations ? like bootloader !?
an exemple ? a rom ?
• Skins ? for what ?
• Productions for children ?
If you want be The Devil's Advocate With Al Pacino and Keanu Reaves...
Give an example , a name to purpose material comparison !
Other, i m not a Judge, i think you watch lot of series on Justice !
EDIT:///
I m not an aggressor ! But when he asked me long times ago, i don't use his technic... then i ask him to share, to explain more about Radio version !
Answer : MY rom, MY drivers, MY apps !
Maybe i m an stupid idiot but i can't understand why it make it like that !
