Its twitchy, Ive had them get erased from ROM flashes. Most of the time they dont but it can happen. Also good spot to double check if people are having problems, cause they also find that they forgot a number in the IP or something.

also, if you want you can take some of the cab files from this post. I made them all and have like 8-9 carriers in there. Its just the agps reg edits. I also made some youtube videos of applying the fix. Its all on the 1st and 2nd post. I made them a long time ago and just keep adding to it as I get more info. I just got cricket last week.

Not sure what happen to my GPS. It only work for 2 seconds then stop working. It fix GPS at first 2 second, found my location, then stop working and software can't find any GPS device. Or sometime it works for 2 seconds then restart my phone. Anyone knows what happen?

I used Garmin. I have the same problem with Google Map. It only works for 2 seconds then stop working. Cannot find GPS devices.

I flashed about a month ago before I installed the CAB yesterday. Everything is still in place.

I think I fix the problem. It was a easy fix. I just delete the GPS log file under windows\ and then download the GPS information by QuickGPS. One thing I notice, if you ever use HTC GPS Tool before. Be careful, IT DELETE THE GPS IP from OneGPS setting!!!!!!!!

I've compiled a CAB of these registry settings for each seperate carrier.

GPS Settings - Alltel
GPS Settings - Bell
GPS Settings - Telus
GPS Settings - Sprint

You should now follow the gpsOne Settings steps.

gpsOne Settings

1. Connect your Diamond to your computer with the usb cable. This is also an excellent time to back up anything, just in case.

2. We need to put the phone in diagnostic mode. This is done by running dmrouter.exe by dialing ##DIAG Send (##3424 Send), or ##DIAG# for Sprint.

3. Let windows install your new hardware. There will be two dialogs that come up. The first one should install after you click next. The next will require a file called qcmdmxp.sys and says it can't be found. As luck has it, your computer already has this file, and it's located here:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\.
Simply tell the wizard to look there, and it will show the file, click on it, and the installation will finish.

If you have Vista, try the drivers HERE

4. Install QPST if you haven't already.

5. Run the Service Programming program under the QPST start menu.

6. Double click on the little globe at the bottom right of your screen.

7. Click on Add New Port, and add COM# - USB/QC DIAGNOSTIC.
It should now show your Com Port and your phone WinCE (########)

8. Close the QPST Configuration window, and go back to the QPST Service Programming window.

9. The ######## from step 7, which is the same number in the ESN column, is your ESN! (in hex format). If you have your SPC already, keep going. Otherwise, scroll down and read the SPC section.

10. Click on your phone, and then click OK.

11. Your phone should now be automatically detected. If not select it to match the picture below, then click OK.


12. Click on Read From Phone and then enter your SPC and click OK.

13. Goto the gpsOne tab (you'll have to scroll to the right) and make your screen identical to this one, choosing the settings for your proper carrier below:

[code]
------------------------------------------------------------
Telus:
PDE IP Address = 216.198.139.92
PDE Port Number = 8889
PDE Transport = IP
Position Calculation = Mobile
------------------------------------------------------------

14. Click Write To Phone.

15. SOFT RESET (or turn your phone off and then back on).

16. Test your GPS (some good programs are below).

GPS Programs

TomTom 7:
I've recompiled a TomTom7 cab to be more compatible with the Diamond. It has the GPS Registry.cab built into it, but if you already ran that cab it doesn't make a difference
The cab can be found HERE.

A cab without Server Settings is HERE

PM me for more information about TT7 and where to get maps.

Google Maps:
For those of you who haven't figure out that in order to download Google Maps you have to use Internet Explorer, it's available in cab form HERE.
All you have to do is install the cab, open Google Maps, press Menu > Use GPS.

Thanks to Ghettofreeryder (for the initial finding of this process), Juggalo_X (for the Vista Drivers) and all those who have contributed to this process.

HI everyone. Am new here. I have read lots of threads and your expertise is quite impressive..
It took me a few days but I was able to do all of the steps as listed above. I also installed juicy 4.13 which has quick gps which seems to work in that I can download the updates.

My GPS does not seem to work. Any ideas ? Any suggestions ?
The settings I have for the GPS on the phone in settings are
- gps program port com 4
- no hardware port and baud rate 4800
- let windows manage access

I have google maps and Tom TOm 7 from Tobeychris

for google gps settings are just 'managed by windows' . the phone looks for satelites and nothing else happens
for tom tom gps receiver is set to 'built in receiver' and says the same thing.. seeking satelites, etc...

many thanks....

In tomtom 6 my gps wouldn't work either with those settings, I used instead "other wired receiver" "com 4" but for baud rate I had to use "56400"<<<<not sure the exact number but it's the 50000 one.

Try the HTC GPS tool and see if you see satellites being found with it or look when you open tomtom, in tt6 its under preference/satellite status.
Or try the attached program to see whats happening......just put the exe. on your phone or card then click on it with file explorer to start it, select the baud and click open/start. This should at least give you and idea of what's happening.

Oh and the easiest simple thing that sometimes happens is people have their "location" turned off, just check by going to Start/settings/phone/services/ highlight Location and click get settings.....needs to be ON

THANKS PRIMENALL!!

I tried it all, still not working out wih google maps or tom tom 7

Here is what is going on
- the telus navigator thing does work, no problems
- for tom tom I changed the device to all there also changed the baud rates to all possible and nothing worked
- for google maps the baud rate changes dont help

I tried the VIEW GPS tool I dont know if I am using it proberly. Basically I open the program, choose the baud rate, then click open GPS. ( I dont check any of the other boxes). With every baud rate, I see some gibberish appearing below after I click open GPS, however with each baud rate when I go to the next page it always tells me there is " no fix"

any ideas ? I dont know what else to do and am close to giving up. For the phone settings am I missing something ? I have the beam turned off as I read that this should be off.

Any help would be appreciated..!!!
