GPS on the mogul is kinda like black magic. Its there but its not there.
True the GPS has to be primed. I used to use Baf's GPS toggle before I was running TF2D, my GPS at the time was iGo8. I have since started using the newest Sprint Navigation and got sprint to lower my bill and add unlimited data and text and running nuerom3. Not sure what did it but I havent used GPS toggle in a while and I get an almost instant lock. I actually locked 11 satellites in less than 10 seconds the other day when playing golf. I use FreeCaddie for a rangefinder which by the way works excellent. Its really like its supposed to have GPS lol
Are you trying to get a lock inside? Also if you have the data off on the phone (either switch or using NoData) will make the GPS not lock or take an extremely long time to lock no matter if you are priming the GPS. That tripped me up before since I didnt have a data plan on my phone and always used NoData with data turned off and kept the switch on wifi.
Ive tried the HTC GPS tool and it didnt seem to work. I have used and can say that Baf's GPS Toggle and Holux GPS viewer work. Though the Holux one take alot more precious memory away from the mogul.
