Quick GPS problem

[Flibmeister]

I had the same problem with QuickGPS as the OP, got the same error message for the last week, called HTC tech support last night. They at first claimed it wasn't their software it was Sprint's; I told her I doubted that, because I have Alltel. <g>

After first telling me that was impossible since Alltel didn't carry the Diamond (guess they're a little behind there....), she finally looked into it some and had me go into Options in QuickGPS and switch on the "Auto Download....." option. After doing that, the manual download worked just fine (just did it again, still works).

I do find that Alltel Navigation (I'm on a 30 day free trial) acquires the satellites in seconds, while GoogleMaps and LiveSearch can take a minute or two, but all three programs work just fine.

As an aside, while I was on the phone with HTC I asked about sources for an extra battery and she switched me to their Accessories department. I was able to order another 1340mha battery from them (can't find them anywhere online). $40 + shipping.
