Ok, boy am I glad that I have virtually nothing on my xp box. I run kubuntu on it and just set it up for dual boot for situations just like this. I hadn't even shut off the system restore so I just went back to a restore point and reinstalled QPST, and the diagnostic drivers, ran through the steps and now the GPS works. Thanks for the help!!

I was just wondering if anyone has tried using touchpal on their diamond? I think that this is by far the best soft keyboard and If it didn't work in vga then I might be forced to buy the Touch Pro.

I suppose it's smart of Telus to remove QuickGPS from the diamond. Now you are sort of forced into using thier navigator.

On the other hand, it's a pain for me to get it to work again! I found the cab file, but it says I need some certificate.

Since none of the other posts got any responses, no one has figured out how to get QuickGPS to work.

I have TomTom7 (from the OP -- thanks btw) but no maps. So if anyone out there has it working, is QuickGPS needed for TomTom or does it find satallites quickly? Say, under 30 seconds?

Maybe when the Sprint Diamond comes out you can take it off that?? According to Pg 175 of the Sprint Diamond Manual, it will have QuickGPS.

Ghetto and I are working on a kitchen that will give some nice customized programs as well as getting rid of those stupid telus ones. Watch for it

Good point. Maybe it can be taken from there with the right certificate attached. I'm not sure how certificates work.

Although, the down side is that our manual has QuickGPS on pg103.

I have TomTom7 up and running, no QuickGPS. I generally get locks in less than a minute, but it depends a LOT on where I am at the time.

Myke...

I can tell you for a FACT that telus wanted to disable GPS

And for some reason they intentionally disabled threaded text!?
