not working.
NOT HAVING GPS SERIOUSLY KILLS THIS PHONE'S USEABILITY!

I found this link -> http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49933
Would this work for Sprint?

I'm not sure if you tried the basic stuff, so lets start there. 1. Click Start-Settings-Phone-(Services tab), then make sure Location Setting is highlighted, then click on the Get Settings button. Make sure it is On. 2. Click Start-Programs-QuickGPS, then click on the Download button and make sure it updates. Then go outside and make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Open Google Maps, then click on Menu, then click on Use GPS and wait several minutes. It shouldn't take several minutes, but it might. Let me know how it goes. Good luck

Re: GPS Still Not Working

Of course it works with the clear view of the sky!!!

But the problem is that it does not work inside the car or inside the house.
I used to own the Sprint HTC Mogul and that old brick worked inside the house, inside the car and below the basement!

If I can't get the GPS to work inside the car, it pretty much defeats the purpose of its existence, doesn't it?

Thank you for your help =). But maybe I wasn't clear enough.

How can I get HTC Touch Pro to work inside the car without any lag?

Thank you!

Edit: I've tried with 4 roms so far.

Sprint Original Rom
KK 1.8
Mighty
Juicy 6

They all have same symptoms. It locks in after about 2 to 3 minutes outside in a clear sky without any obstruction. And it does so with a LOT of lag. I can walk 200 feet and the GPS coordinate will not change....
Come inside a car or a house and you lose your GPS lock immediately.
