I am able to get tomtom 6 to run and working properly on my phone, but there is no sound. I already unmuted as it starts out as muted.

Works fine for me. You've probably got a bad copy of TT6. If you buy a copy it works, anyway.

You sure you have a voice selected (and installed?)

How could the GPS work in flight mode (which should mean the CDMA radio is off so it can't tell if I am in a CDMA area or not), but only if I'm in an area with CDMA coverage? Since GPS is sat dependent and the phone can do that with all radios off it should work anywhere I can pick up a sat...

Unless I understand the technology or flight mode wrong?

Flight mode stops your radio from transmitting. Since GPS signals are passive (you only receive signals), there is no need to shut it down. The signals from the satellite are still getting beemed down. I used my Titan on a flight the other day with iGo8. It was interesting to see the ground on the screen flying by at over 508MPH. Was watching the altitude as well (With HTC Gps Tool). Kinda fun

I've tried GPS on several flights in the last couple months and have never been able to find an satellites while in the air. Are you doing anything special, such as getting a lock before takeoff and keeping it running all the time?

ugh..having issues with Sprint Nav on my Titan now.. it just sticks at getting fastest route, gets to a 100%, and instead of starting to tell me directions the 100% bar just stays there and nothing goes on. its been doing this for about two weeks now, ive tried resetting the phone, messing with the GPS settings etc. does anyone have a fix for this?

The most locks I have gotten so far was 8 on my xv6800

I have all the settings correct, however, the GPS won't connect. It says "Your handset doesn't seem to be compatible with My Location..." I've tried clicking on "use GPS" first, but I just get the error message (saying GPS not enabled). What is the problem?

EDIT: Just as I am typing this, it started working. I guess you need to wait a LONG time initially, and I also tried disabling then enabling the Location On in the settings menu. I'm not sure what the problem was.

weedahoe,

Which app is giving the satellite count on the home page?

I flashed a custom no2chem ROM that I cooked in the kitchen for my Verizon XV6800 Titan, but nothing's able to find the GPS it seems like, even with the OP's settings applied. I tried fiddling with the little applet that is included (HTC GPS Tool or something) but it just puts a ton of random text communication inside the box and doesn't ever find anything or do anything. Any ideas where to troubleshoot from here? I have radio 3.42.30.

ROM is 3.49.no2.5066, and for some reason my PRI version is 1.35_002 which I read is an issue, even though I didn't touch the official verizon ROM that was just released and supposedly has issues .
