- The Moto Q q9c is now selling on Sprint with standalone working aGPS (sat based), working with 3rd party programs (I tried it myself)
Did I miss anything here? I'm not a "hopeful fool", just someone who lays out the evidence and connects the dots.
Hey I'm willing to wait too. I don't have any idea if Sprint will limit it, lock it down, though if the Q9c is any evidence, it at least looks to be open.
I'm not sure if increased competition changed Sprint's mind on this, but they are finally buying devices that are capable of GPS. I'll fully admit that the 6700, 700wx don't have an internal antenna and that may limit what they could do here for GPS, but the Mogul, Touch and Q9c are different AFAIK. |
I'm pleased to say that the same process has now been carried out and tested on the Motorola Q9H (AT&T) smile.gif Check out the topic linked above for the background, or read on to get started!
The activator is vailable as either a 'over the air install' or a PC based install or an on-device CAB install (choose one or the other to suit), the activator provides the all important missing COM port for GPS access. After installing (and rebooting), you'll find you have a new COM5 port, and you can use any GPS application you like to your hearts content.
Enjoy people, and spread the word to fellow Q9H owners!

PS As a little bonus, this package also application unlocks your device, letting you do things like reorder the Start Menu how you like, etc!
