I'm going back to my Katana and will use my Dell Axim for my PDA needs and will buy a Tom tom for my GPS needs.

the device is not a pos. the fact that the GPS is locked until you modify these settings for it to work correctly, does not make it a POS. the fact that your having difficulty following the instructions so many others such as my self did, does not make this device a POS.
my best suggestion is to go back and read my other post in here since it seems you have either ignored it or disregarded it. you MUST fill in the gpsONE settings in QPST to get the gps to lock. its not an option to just say "i cant figure it out so ill skip that part" like you have. you cannot pass judgement on this device untill you can elimiate the user errors your experencing. because you're not showing the diamond any justice, that which it deserves.

PS: another reccomendation is making sure your location is set to "on" in the phone settings.

Well of course it doesn't work, the correct sequence is:

POWER + VOLDWN + ENTER + RESET

If he was on Sprint, this won't work and it has to be done in a certain order.

Power the phone off first

Hold the center button (round button) + Vol down then also hold the power button until the screen comes on with the reset instructions/information.

If they apply the power button first once the phone is off, it won't work because then the phone will turn on.

hate to say it but the SPL is the same on the devices... so the button combo is the same and the sequence don't matter. allot of it is the fact that you need a third arm to do the proses there fore the buttons don't get pressed fully some times.

That annoys me, I've said it before, and I'll say it again... IT DOESN'T MATTER.

The key sequence will work no matter who's brand you have, or who's ROM. It also works on the locked, unlocked and mfg SPL.

Well, I am only going by personal experience and you can yell/scream "it doesn't matter" all you want. I have never, I repeat, never gotten the before procedure to work on my Sprint Diamond. I am rather skinny and have rather small hands to there was never an issue of getting the bottons fully depressed. Not to mention I even had my son press teh reset button for me just in case. Still would not work.

The procedure I mentioned that does work for me and my phone only works if the power button is the last button pressed otherwise the phone powers on and won't work.

My appologies if it makes no sense to you and or you refuse to believe it. However, at this point it really doesn't matter. Maybe my phone is special...come to think of it I know another thread that had the exact same conversation as this one that had MANY sprint people claiming the exact same thing as I am but, I suppose like I said, in the end it matters not. I use what works.
