I'm looking for HTC QuickGPS

[aikidoka]

I'm glad I found this thread. GPS is working better in my Sprint Touch with QuickGps and using AstroGPSlauncher. I sometimes have to soft reset still but considering I'm not working with an official sprint ROM (alltel and JD's test ROM) I'm satisfied for now.

The only real problem is that I cant leave quickgps running in the background. It and PocketCM especially dont seem to get along.

What the virdict on that registry file? Do we really need to import those values? Mine look pretty close without touching that .reg file and QuickGPS appears to be working fine on my 6800 w/ latest Alltel ROM from HTC.com (3.x).

Now, how you too can do this:

1. Download both files to your computer, then extract them.
2. Create a new folder called HTC QuickGPS and put all three of the extracted files (HTC_QuickGPS.cab, QuickGPS.exe, QuickGPS.reg) in the new folder .
3. Sync your Mogul and copy the HTC QuickGPS folder to your storage card.
4. Open a file explorer on your Mogul, other than the stock one in WM6. I personally use Resco File Explorer 2007 because it allows you to overwrite files, has a registry and FTP plugin, etc. Whtever you use, it must allow you to overwrite files.
5. Navigate to your storage card and then to the HTC QuickGPS folder you just copied there from your PC.
6. Install QuickGPS by clicking on the HTC_QuickGPS.cab file.
7. Click on the QuickGPS.reg file and you will be prompted wether or not you want to import these registry settings. Click Yes.
8. Copy the QuickGPS.exe file to the \Windows directory in main memory.
9. Open PIE, Opera or another app on your Mogul that opens an Internet connection (I did not have to do this for it to work, I presume that is because I use Activesync for push from my Exchange server).
10. Open QuickGPS and click the Download button.
11. Tap the X to minimize QuickGPS (you may be able to close it completely, I have not tested that yet).
12. Open your GPS app and be amazed at how fast you get lock, no matter whether you are inside or outdoors.

I hope this helps all of you having problems getting this installed. If you have problems or questions, feel free to post or PM me.

On Alltel:

I'm having some trouble with QuickGPS. Previously, the 'download' button would connect, have a progress bar, and then say 'Connection Failed, Please try later'.

I followed these instructions to try and get QuickGPS to work, and now when I try to open QuickGPS I get the error

"The file "QuickGPS" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

Multiple reinstallations and recopying the registry file don't do anything different. I can plainly see that the old QuickGPS.exe file is still in Windows, even though I told it to overrite. I used Rosco 2008, on trial right now. Any suggestions to get this program working again?

Honestly I am not the one to ask anymore because I went from my Mogul to a Touch to the Diamond and then the Pro. Because of this, and the way that QuickGPS works on the newer HTC devices, I have not had a problem with it anymore. And obviously I no longer have a Mogul to check for you...

Sorry and good luck!

What ROM do you have? I had VerInfou.dll missing from DCD 3.3.4 rom and it caused this problem. You have a similar file missing on the diamond.

Hey guys,

Hopefully I don't sound too stupid asking this, but here it goes;

Once all of the files are downloaded and the reg edits are made, does an internet connection/data connection have to be made prior to each use of QuickGPS, or is it just the initial installation that requires the data connection be run first?

I usually don't have too hard of a time getting a GPS lock, but every little bit helps, right?

Thanks in advance guys.

You just need an activesync connection or data connection once a week to update the satellite info. You actually never have to run or open the software after it is installed. I just have mine to update on every activesync.

Wow...that was QUICK! thanks for the response. That would work perfectly for me, since I do use Microsoft Exchange servers and constantly have an ActiveSync connection.
I have read some horror stories about installation from people (software causes errors, GPS doesn't work, etc...), is it pretty failsafe? Once installed, can you unistall the .cab to reset the .reg edits?

Just to be clear, you follow the installation instructions and that's it? After it's installed, you can start Live Search, Google Maps, Telenav, etc...and the locks are pretty instantaneous?

Sorry for all the questions
