Alltel 6800 Rom Version 3.35.671.9
Radio version 03.37.20
Installed the file to device memory
Settings/personal/phone/services/location setting/On
settings/system/external gps/
Programs Com4 selected
Hardware Gps harware port (none)
Access Manage gps auto checked
Google Maps also installed to device
options/gps settings/managed by windows selected
soft reset
*228 updated
soft reset several more times.
When I check use gps in google maps I get the message initializing and then eventually the message that no gps receiver found.

I know I am probably missing something stupid and obvious but I can't figure out what it is.

Thanks for the help

PS I also tried Live Search and it just says waiting for GPS
good 1st post. thanks for being detailed with your steps. unfortunately I don't know what your missing. looks to me that you did everything.

download this file:
http://johniii.tripod.com/Enable_GPS_Alltel_ppc6800.zip <--copy and paste into url bar.

extract the zip file to your phone. install each of these one at a time. start with 1, then 2, then 3, then 4.

some will just make ur screen flash, this is good, move on to the next one.

after all 4 are installed wait 20 seconds then softreset. try ur gps then.

this is the old method. i created a a new cab file but maybe it has an issue. do this and let me know if it works. good luck
