Did you have to apply a fix to get your TP to work or did it work right out of the box?

Mine has always worked flawlessly. It's worked on Verizon Stock Rom, Juicy Rom, and every Mighty Rom from version's 4.11 through 4.16

Thing is have you guys flashed your original stock Roms and then tried it with your carriers nav apps ? I'd say if you tried that and the GPS doesn't work its hardware. I would definitely try that.

Yes, I put the original stock ROM back in, tried google maps, and windows live to no avail.

Yea but what carrier are you using ? Some carriers have the GPS locked down, such as Verizon. You cannot use the GPS natively with any other app except the Verizon Nav software. You have to install llbored's GPS fix to the Verizon Stock Rom to use the GPS with any other app.

So the question is what carrier are you using, does that carrier lock down the GPS, and are you trying to use Google and live nativley or did you install the GPS fix before trying.

Hey lordshadowz...the OP is very confusing. His GPS works, he just has a lag problem which is very well known and documented on many websites. Not everyone is experiencing this lag problem, but it is bad enough that it's on wmexperts.com. http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/do...n_the_tou.html

Ahh I had read the post where he said it wasn't working. Which I thought meant not at all. Thats why I suggested to revert to a stock rom to see if it works with the carrier's rom to test to see if it works and that its not a hardware issue. Sorry for any confusion.

Yea...it got me too. Not your fault. He even named the thread wrong.
