Re: How To: Configure GPS

In the midst of troubleshooting something and wish to revert back to Sprint settings. I have these:
PDE IP 68.28.31.49
PDE Port 4503

Do I leave the PDE Transport and PDE Calculation blank? Or include the values IP and PDE?

Alltel Touch Pro gps broke
Alltel Touch Pro gps stopped working
Alltel Touch Pro agps broke
Alltel Touch Pro agps stopped working

Yep. I just did this and low and behold my GPS will now lock and work like it did!

It is a radio issue for the Alltel peeps and going to the stock radio DOES allow it to work.

The 1.03 radio drains the battery way to fast. Went back to 1.12, ran the hotfix and removed all the SUPL AGPS settings and it's locking.

Re: How To: Configure GPS

can i configure the gps other than above carriers??

Re: How To: Configure GPS

yes, but you would have to find the carrier specific IP addresses for your AGPS to work properly.

Re: How To: Configure GPS

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. http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/9176/globeew9.png

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:
http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/740/gpsoneet7.png

Code:

 

Alltel: 

PDE IP Address = 205.142.19.100

PDE Port Number = 8888

PDE Transport = IP

Position Calculation = Mobile

------------------------------------------------------------

Bell:

PDE IP Address: 206.47.201.75

PDE Port number: 8888

PDE Transport: IP

Position Calculation: Mobile

------------------------------------------------------------

Telus:

PDE IP Address = 216.198.139.92

PDE Port Number = 8889

PDE Transport = IP

Position Calculation = Mobile

------------------------------------------------------------

Sprint:

PDE IP Address = 68.28.31.49

PDE Port Number = 5017

PDE Transport = IP

Position Calculation = PDE

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).

Finding Your SPC
Many people wonder how to find your SPC and what it is. It is your Service Programming Code (SPC) or Master Subsidy Lock Code (MSL Code). It is essentiall a code to allow you to access certain menus of your phone related to its setting.

Here are instructions on how to find it:

1. Find your ESN in hex. If you have it in decimal, use THIS to convert it. You want the pESN Hexadecimal: number.

2. Download PPST_KeyGen.dll and GetSPC.exe, and then transfer them to your phone.

3. Run GetSPC.exe on your phone.

4. Enter your hex ESN in the Input field.

5. Press Go.

6. Write down your SPC from the Output field.

7. Enjoy.

For Sprint Diamond Users.
Use CDMA Workshop and connect to the phone in diag mode.
Go to the "Security" Tab and hit "Read" SPC.
Select Universal Ram Method and Custom.
Address is: 018E:0190
Hit READ to find your SPC.

Thanks Blee0125!
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.

What about t-mobile?

Re: How To: Configure GPS

Hello,

Could you PM me the Tom Tom info. I am not a newbee but I am trying my best to keep up with PPC talk. I downloaded Tom Tom to my TP2 and when I clicked on the app it told me I could dl a map and when I tried it failed... Just looking for some proper instruction from someone like yourself. My gf doesn't have gps in her car and this would be an amazing solution to our tiffs in the car about directions. Thanks a million.

Re: How To: Configure GPS

Add me to the list of those that tried this w/ no success. I updated the ports and information per the first page, downloaded and ran the Sprint CAB file, and I'm still getting nothing. Any other ideas? For what it's worth I'm running MightyRom 6 on a sprint diamond. Ran mighty on my last diamond also, but had no problems w/ the GPS. Thanks.

can someone help?

Re: How To: Configure GPS

I went through this on a TP2 using QPST version 2.7. The phone did not have any of the carrier setting information stored. When I tried to update it, I got a meessage that "NV_UE_IMEI_I" status is "NV_READONLY_S".

Anybody know how to fix that? I don't get a GPS fix unless QuickGPS is up to date. Would flashing a new rom change these settings? My radio version is 2.32.00WF.

thanks
