All Right people, I am in Italy for a little while with my Sprint HTC Touch and can not get a lock on satellites; here are the tests I have made:
- I have tomtom with European maps that works well, I can search things etc, but never gets a lock on satellites. I have used it with American maps when I was in Texas and it always worked very well but I have never specifically tested it in airplane MODE.
- I have installed HTC GPS tool and it sees the com port and does all the tests but only sees ONE satellite apparently, but I am not sure that is correct because I checked a website with the satellite real time positioning and there is no sat there (maybe some fake stuff).
- I use a laucher for tom tom and it says "wayting for a valid satellite signal" but never locks. I have tried with radio on and off and it does the same exact thing and I have waited for 10 minutes but no lock.
- I am in a suburb so the sky is clean as well as the orizon.
- I believe the phone needs to be told where to look for satellites but I am not sure how.
Now, if you gays have any suggestion I can try things here and this can be helpful for many other users.
Hope to hear from you guys soon and please do not begin fights over who is right, I am a Graduet Student and I know quite a bit about software, GPS and cellphones
, and I red all the treads so far (that is why I am saying this
).
I will try the suggestions and tell you guys who is correct after testing so we can live happly everafter.
Thank you very much in advance and Marry Christmas to everyone.
