AGPS help

[mike99]

I was trying to look around but could not find an answer.

I am on a stock TP Sprint ROM.

The device comes with AGPS disabled. It can be activated by downloading cabs from this forum as well as registry hacks and Advanced config tool from XDA forum.

But can I activate it from the stock software, without any hack or downloads? The devices I used before (BB, iphone) would enable AGPS by default, so that even if there is no satellite signal (indoors), you can still get approximate location from the cell towers.

I cannot figure it out for the HTC. Why do they disable it by default?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

i'm not sure,but i don't think sprint uses agps.i'm not an expert,but you have to have these codes or something.when i tried to enable it using the diamond tweak,you had to fill in all these blanks.

New to this - have you got it set to have Windows handle GPS? and yes, Sprint uses aGPS.

If everything is stock, AGPS should be on.. Why do you think it is disabled? Make sure whatever software you are using is using the same COM port as you have your hardware set up to broadcast out on.. For more info on the difference between GPS and AGPS, go check this out...
