Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

I'm pretty sure I've followed the directions explicitly (several times), but still don't see the desired results (I don't think!).

Using Vzw HTC Touch Pro, did the following (note changes to documented procedure)
1. Because I couldn't get this to work, started by clearing memory.
2. download lllboredlll_VZW_GPS_Fix_v2.cab and put on device
3. install lllboredlll_VZW_GPS_Fix_v2.cab
7. use File Explorer to navigate to lllboredlll_VZW_GPS_Fix_v2.cab; execute
8. reset device
9. Dial *228 option 1
10. reset your device
11. Install HTC GPS Tool
12. Did soft reset
13a. Settings >> SYSTEM >> External GPS
13b. Programs Tab- GPS Program Port: Com4
13c. Hardware Tab- GPS Hardware Port: None, Baud Rate: 4800
13d. Access Tab- Checkmark on "Manage GPS automatically"
14. Settings >> PHONE/Options/Services/Location set to LOCATION ON
15. Open up HTC GPS Tool. Set Chip to Q 7500 and mode to Cold Start then set baud to 4800 and open port.

The GPS tool never locates satellites. It just runs. I've let it run outdoors up to 10 minutes, but nothing ever shows up on the satellites screen. Am I missing a step somewhere?

Thanks!
