HTC QuickGPS - Locks in under a minute EVERYTIME...After LOTS of reading...

Good Afternoon,

After playing with HTC QuickGPS on & off over the past month...& after LOTS of reading...I have come across a work around that appears to work.

Install & Run HTC QuickGPS - Click the Download button.

That persistently annoying failed to connect alert will appear after the download has completed.

Navigate to the Temp directory on your device. You will find a file called xtra.bin located there.

Copy xtra.bin to the root directory of the Windows folder on your device.

After re-running HTC QuickGPS it will now show that the data has been updated.

After doing this it appears that I am consistently getting GPS locks in under a minute.

My question is: how can we make it so our devices allow QuickGPS to copy the xtra.bin on its own! Or is there an easier fix that I have overlooked in my research?

Please feel free to share!
