Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

I did the above and It was slower than what the Sprint version comes with Stock... I reverted if you couldnt tell from me asking for the Stock sprint settings...

My lock is anywhere from around 5-30 secs from sprint unless indoors then its 30sec to a min probably... Wouldnt recommend for the Sprint Diamonds.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

I applied all the settings in the registry except used the Sprint IP and port on my Sprint Diamond. It locks quickly and works great.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

I can't get this to work on my Sprint Diamond.
I followed the steps and successfully wrote the ip info to the phone (had to use a different method to get the SPC)
But the google maps gps still doesnt work :(

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

thanks, but that didn't help :(

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

EDIT: oops. answered my own question :)

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

i did everything as it said here, and it all seemed to work jst fine, but when i go to google maps it cannot find my location, says its not suported by beta and can't track the gps at all. what's the deal?

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

Updated the Hex ESN calculator to a downloadable program.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

hey, i've been kinda annoying lately, but i am quite frustrated with trying to get this thing to work. i am on juicy 2.5 rom. i even hard reset it recently. i applied the settings exactly as posted here. i go into google maps, and i see the map fine, but when i press use gps, i keep getting seaking satelites(0)... message. i have rebooted the diamond about 100 times over the last few days trying to get this to work, but no luck. i seem to be able to download quick gps stuff fine. with blackbery curve it was a breeze, so i don't understand why diamond is so crippled in this respect.

any help would be greatly appriciated, thanks

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

Are you on sprint or telus. (fill out your user info)
Did your GPS work at any point in the past?
Did you even test it before trying these settings?
Can you screenshot (and please for the love of my patience crop the picture) what you see in the qpst gpsOne screen?
Blackberries and HTC phone are not even remotely similar, don't even start.
Are you outside in clear view of the sky?

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

as stated above, I have the same problem. Completed everything in the first post just fine (Sprint) and can't get a lock on any satellites.
Went to the Sprint repair center, did a hard reset to factory defaults, loaded up the trial of Sprint Navigation and it still didn't work. They told me to call order support and get a new one.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

hard reset will have no effect in regards to there settings. as I've said before, this changes information on the chip. what you should do is search this forum for the stock sprint settings and try to change back to those. then try again. most sprint users say that the gps works fine out of the box.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

i downloaded google maps before, on stock telus rom, and tried my location and of course it said to screw off, beta not supporting this feature. then i flashed juicy 2.41 and again ai tried my location but it didn't work. after i tried applying those settings, as stated in the forum, wrote, and i tried Activate GPS this time. seaking satelites (0)... is what it says forever, until i get the error message.


My quelcom screen lokos exactly like the posted screen shot, except the allowed button is checkmarked in black, not in grey like there. i tried activating gps in a few locations, outside, and no success.

i tried getting some help also over at xda-developers, maybe this will help you out in helping me out :D

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

Little question, is that for using with a gps or it's using an internal gps in the diamond that is "lock" from Telus?

Thanks

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

k big hint. dont disable location setting. it disables gps too. if you guys are having the same problem as me, check your settings, phone, location setting must be on.

thanks for all the help here. thanks

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

um, duh?

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

The Opening Topic should updated which carriers (or ROMS) require these steps because the Sprint Stock ROM needs absolutely nothing to work right out the box.

It Always locks immediately.

QuickGPS is installed and runs as a Service constanting doing AGPS updates so that when you need the GPS it will lock almost instantly.

On a Stock Sprint ROM, I can Hard Reset, Install Google Maps, Click Use GPS and it's up.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

I had the same problem until this morning. I started quickgps, downloaded new satelite data and bingo, got 11 satelite in 5 sec in googlemaps (and I was indoor in my bathroom). Try that to see.

Also, I've disabled assisted gps

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

No, you haven't, because you just said you used quickGPS, that IS the assisted part.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

After every ROM upgarde/hard reset, I set my External GPS to port GPD1 and Live Search to use 'GPS Intermediate Driver' and I get a lock within 30 seconds every time. No QuickGPS, nothing. Google Maps is set to use WIndows' settings also, and I get the same results. These are the settings that are pre-installed on my 800W, which is where I got the idea from and I recommend everyone use these settings. If everyone could try it and let me know how they work I'll add it to the first post here.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

I get locks in under 5 seconds without doing that... and external GPS should have no relevance...
If it works, ok, but the gpsOne settings are in the chip itself...

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

External GPS settings don't matter anymore? With my Q9H we had to use reg hacks and such just to get it to use COM5.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

Nope! gpsOne settings and the registry keys in the cab are all that's needed for quick locking GPS.

There is still a lag issue, but we may have that resolved soon, stay tuned!

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

Thats what I've been looking forward to. It's hard to use TomTom right now for navigation because I don't see where my turn/exit is until I pass it.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

I just flashed to Juicy 2.5 but GPS doesn't seem to be working. Trying to follow your instructions for gpsOne settings http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36639

but seeing how i'm so new to this I'm confused on step #2 - How do I run dmrouter.exe? is that exe included with Juicy's ROM if so where do I find it.

If I have to install it how do I go about doing that - I downloaded dmrouter but all it is was is an exe file that will not run in windows - so I'm assuming I have to run dmrouter on my actual phone, but how do I get that installed to my phone?

Finally I tried dialing ##3424 but that didn't do anything - cause I guess I have to have dmrouter running first.

Anyone please help

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

Whoops sorry I figured it out had to dial ##3424#

But now I'm getting errors in QPST. I try and enter my SPC number - but after I enter a few seconds later it says that I have the wrong SPC number and then another window pops up saying the the COM port has changed. What am I doing incorrectly?

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

When I click on the globe and add port, I only see: "COM3 - Serial" and if I select it it's no phone. I'm on vista, and I don't know how to reinstall drivers. Help plz. (also, is MEID HEX my ESN?)

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

Is your phone in dmrouter?

Try a real... I mean xp computer:)

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

hey Tobey, please check your PM :)

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

I'm new to the Diamond so I guess I have a little reading to do :)

Thanks...

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

I'm running vista 64 bit

the drivers for vista on this guide do not work for either of my generic serial devices. I've tried installing through wizard and device manager, so I'm stuck on like step 3....

Advice?

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

HELP:
Ever since Ive upgraded to Juicy 2.5 ROM and now 2.6 ROM, I have lost GPS. I have done all of the steps listed on this thread and NO LUCK>

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP THIS NOOB out?

Thanks!

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

I tried out the Tomtom7 download with the registry entries on the first post in this thread and noticed it fudged up the gps on my Sprint Diamond. I did a hard reset and now the gps is working fine again. Is there a link to download Tomtom7 without the registry changes?

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

I had some trouble initially with Juicy's 2.5 because of AGPS being enabled. Since disabling it, I've had no GPS problems. You can use Advanced Config to turn it off. (I just made a cab for that and my other reg tweaks).

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

Thanks again for all your help Tobey.
The Diamond is very happy right now (so is the wife)!!!

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

fyi, ur cab only has the telus ip in it. and only the telus ip in qpst. here is a list of other carriers pde server's ip.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36377#2

sprint users will most likely need this info.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

Is there an alternative for vista 64 bit operating systems as the provided drivers do not work?

Thanks

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

i have sprint touch pro. i don't need to do all this for gps to work properly right?

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

if u use google maps or live search how long does it take to get a gps lock? if it more then 30 seconds then yes.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
 

Ok, I'm tying to get this to work but have hit a snag. The images with the settings for the gpsOne tab are not loading. What do I need to put for PDE IP, Port, transport, and position calculation. Currently they are set to 0.0.0.0, 0, IP, and PDE. I'm using an Alltel Diamond.
