How To: Configure GPS

[ThePeter]

Is it possible to just take it into an Alltel store and have them activate it?

I've been having trouble with my car charger anyway...

your port is 4053? mine is 4503. are you sure it is not typo?

Try and see. My GPS is working better with the new Sprint radio, but is still a little temperamental...

If you do, let us know the outcome.

I've finally got mine working like it should and will post up tomorrow if it will lock at my work.

If it does I know it's good as the signal isn't that strong at work.

That'd be awesome! I'll check in tomorrow...haven't gotten the motivation to go by an Alltel store lately, lol

It's working like it should and here at work as well.

Here's what I did. I checked the settings in gpsOne with QPST, they were correct all along although I did go ahead and typed over (using the same IP addy and settings) just to be sure. Refer to post # 1 of this thread.

Using a reg editor, I went to

HKLM > Software > HTC > SUPL AGPS

and changed the GPSMode (Value) = 1 (reboot)

So, all of the settings in my SUPL AGPS now read as follows:

EnableAGPS = 1
EnableGPSSmartMode = 1
GPSMode = 1
NumberFixes = 999999999
QoSAccurace = 50
QosPerformance = 89
ServerIP = 205.142.19.100 (Conflip's ROM has a different addy?)
ServerPort = 8888
TimeBetweenFixes = 1

I have a newer HTC Touch Diamond I purchased is in Dec - 2008 and there seems to be some slight difference with the "newer" phones and the "older" phones.

Try this and see if it works for you. Backing up your registry before editing is always a good idea.

Hmm, I've made the changes and I have the same settings that you do, but still no seeing no GPS satellites in google maps. I used a reg editor, changed it, and rebooted. Didn't work, so I went back in with gpsOne, rebooted, and no satellites.

When I look at my phone with QPST the port is COM 6, while in the first post (and in the phone's default GPS setting) the port is COM 4. Could that have something to do with it? I changed my GPS settings to use COM 6 but nothing found so far.

Wow, this is ridiculous. I was trying to find a way to get quickGPS back onto my phone (it royally screwed up when trying to install another quickGPS program and wouldn't work anymore) and I found this little gem:

Exit and try again.
I was getting this problem and found this solution not 3hrs ago.
Windows was blocking it from downloading.

I changed that, put the gps port back to COM 4, and tried google maps and within seconds it put a dot on my location. Awesome! However, now it repeatedly says "Seeking GPS satellites (0)..." while the blinking blue dot hovers over my current, exact location. Any idea why?

And, why we're at it, anyone have a link to a Diamond specific quickGPS? I tried one I found on xda (guess) and it screwed up the one I had on my phone. I was trying to reconfigure it so that it would download, but whatever I downloaded per the guide I was following was not right.

My com port has always been COM 4 and to my knowledge should always be COM 4.

Is able to do it with the HTC PPC 6800 alltel? If not please point me in the direction.
