Re: How To: Configure GPS
![]() The OP shows instruction to use Service Programming to read the settings from the phone, and then write back to the phone without changes. What does this step accomplish? Thanks. |

Re: How To: Configure GPS
There's a nice little picture in there that shows all the steps. A lot is accomplished, say... configuring your GPS!

Re: How To: Configure GPS
Sorry I wasn't clear with my question. By the time I read the settings from the phone, all the boxes were already checked. I didn't have to do anything.

Re: How To: Configure GPS
can you explain what is the purpose of writing IP and port number to the phone? how does this process enable GPS?
if I have a stock sprint phone, and I want to use and install google map (instead of sprint nav), would it work without IP/Port writing process? |

Re: How To: Configure GPS
You're correct they were different. I falsely ASSumed that they are unique to the device. I went back and changed the port and IP to match the picture.
Another question: Google Maps acquires quickly. I did notice that when data connection is off (no arrows on the signal strength display), and I launch GMaps, while it trys to acquire, it DOES NOT initiate data connection like my Touch did. Is this normal? I thought AGPS uses cellular? Thanks again. |

Re: How To: Configure GPS
Just because it doesn't pop up and say it's not using data, doesn't mean it's not. You're using google maps, it HAS to be using data... where else do all those maps come from? AGPS uses a combination of data downloaded through the cell and real GPS.
foxnews. Maybe, maybe not. The port and IP are a server that contains data about the GPS satellites. It helps you pick up a signal very quickly (under 5 seconds). |
