Installed the quick connect and registry edits. Google maps show Seeking GPS Sats.. (0),and then says "your GPS receiver is having trouble tracking GPS satellites.
GPS requires a clear view of the sky in order to work; you must be outdoors"
and never finds any Sats.... Can anyone tell me what I am missing? Thanks
Ditto here!

What should i check or do?
Sounds about right!


Shadow-tech, is there anything else we can try to get this working? I have gone through the entire guide a few times to make sure i'm doing exactly what you ask however nothing seems to be working. Google Maps is constantly "Seeking GPS Sattelites (0)...", GPS Viewer 1.5 is displaying a bunch of GPS info however no locks, settings in WM 6.1 are correct and the BAF GPS Toggle that appears at the top of the Today Screen is set to ON (Seek: 0). Ports are configured correctly since there is communication between the device and my PC. Registry keys and QPST are set to the Telus IP and port settings while GPS Mode is set to 2.

ROM: 3.54.661.1
Radio: 3.42.40

Is there anything else to try other than the regular troubleshooting that was in your first post?

Thanks for any help, it will be GREATLY appreciated!
