How To: Configure GPS

[gweedo767]

Okay, having a little trouble here. I have an Alltel HTC Touch Diamond running their stock ROM (got it yesterday). I can get the HEX ESN and I ran GetSPC on the phone to get my SPC. I then can connect in DIAG mode via QPST, but when I ask it to read from the from the phone it keeps saying that my SPC is invalid. Any ideas?

I have Alltel stock and was having the same problem. The SPC is supposed to be found using a hex number that has no lower case letters, but no matter what I put in nothing worked. I finally put in 000000 and it wrote to the phone (you see a progress bar at the top of the program).

However, this didn't do anything to activate the GPS that I could figure. I loaded up the google maps program, told it to use GPS, and it wouldn't find anything.

However, I don't want to go through the process of putting on a ROM and end up bricking my phone. Not yet at least...

Tobey post:
PDE IP Address = 68.28.31.49
PDE Port Number = 5017

Can someome on sprint confirm your Port number?

I noticed the discrepency in port # as well for Sprint. My Sprint Diamond & TP both show port 4053, but the post shows 5017. 4057 seems to work. Can someone clarify? Thanks.

I've used the sprint settings for a long time, maybe they have two ports open?

[tobeychris]

Call your provider and ask them for you Master Security Lock code (aka MSL aka programming code).. When OTA (Over the air) programming is down (which happens often enough) they use the manual procedure to unlock your phone so it accepts new settings.. This would be the same code you require to use QPST..

I have a Telus Touch Diamond.
I have tried everything but the Gps still will not work.
I did the qpst for Telus and read it back and all the setting a correct.
But Garmin Mobile XT or TomTom still can not get a satelite lockin.
Help please.

Good luck, it seems to be hit or miss with Alltel and no one has completely figured out why as of yet...
