How-To Get GPS/Rev A on Sprint Touch - Page 11

SprintTouch08 · #**101** (**permalink**) 04-25-2008, 05:03 PM

Detroit area most definitely is a Rev A area (i live just north of the city), it has been since rev A launched.

Does anyone know if the old audipara files will still work, or can someone make new ones?

as far as i know its 6.1, but for stability i just stayed with stock alltel wm6. Although threaded is nice, it lacks forwarding and saving of individual texts which is a downfall. Personally i dont text enough, few hundred tops a month) that threaded is a must. jak's ROM still is beta remember if you dont want to flash 10 times.

Confirmed!!! Thanks for all the hard word!!!!

After installing all the unlockers and the new ROM, and tried the GPS in Google Maps and it took about 10mins to get its first lock! Thanks again!

Already did that. And it says it should be COM4 on the first post.

still no luck with GPS, the weather isnt the best where I am so that might be the problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the cab a few times. no luck.

on google maps it just says Seeking GPS satteliets (0) for about 5 to 10 min.

The only oddites when loading the rom, were I soft-reset before the unlocker rom did custimze (which i dont think should matter) and the 1 and 3 files didn't open anything, but they werent cabs so I didn't think much of it.

anyone with a similar problem, or might know where i went wrong?

Make sure you try jakdillard's WM6.1 ROM. It's in the Alltel ROM thread. Page 44 I think. It enables GPS without any hoops to jump through.
