Question Sprint Diamond GPS unable to lock!

Hello!

I use my Sprint Diamond as a PDA not as a phone (I am from Bulgaria and we don’t have CDMA net) and everything was working perfect when suddenly GPS stop and unable to lock. From the beginning I unlock them with Hard SPL-057 CMONEX and try few costume ROM’s with who GPS and navi software are work fine, before GPS stop I actively use iGO8 and TT7. Now when I start HTC GPS Tool I get this:

Re: Sprint Diamond GPS unable to lock!

My GPS topped one day and I tried for weeks to get it to work (those numbers you posted look just like what I was getting). I did get some luck doing this : http://nguyenxh.net/2008/12/13/htc-t...blem-with-gps/

I got a partial lock. Also, you could have the wrong info in the PDE settings (if you have been flashing. see this post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...light=bell+gps

Finally I took my phone in and they gave me a new unit. I told them the battery was getting so hot it could burn--they replaced it right away. hope this helps

Re: Sprint Diamond GPS unable to lock!

Thanks for your reply, actually I try all this tricks but no luck, from the beginning I disable aGPS function and made some modification for better performance and I get lock after 10-15sec.

But from the first link you gave me I read that after making all this mod’s I must leave GPS working for 2-3h, I never leave them for more than 30min and I will try this.
