Sprint Navigation with new ROM

Todd G · #1 (**permalink**) 03-13-2008, 06:34 PM

Has anybody got Sprint Navigation to work with 3.35? I've talked with every level of tech support at Sprint and Telenav with no success. Sprint now tells me it's HTC's problem and I'll have to wait for them to fix the problem. The $9.99 charge is on my bill and I can't get past the account aurthorization screen. They want me to pay more! Even when I tried to enter my name, address and email address, the page from Telenav came back telling me to enter a valid phone number. There's no place on the page to enter a phone number!

Has anybody had any luck? Google Maps works great. I'd just like to use the turn-by-turn software for the wife.

Sprint Navigation works fine on mine. I'm on Sprint's Simply Everything plan now so it's included. I think if you have the Plus or Ultimate PV plans it's included too.

I've used Sprint Navigation (TeleNav) several times since installing the new ROM. Google Maps and Live Search all work great as well. I switched to a Simply Everything Plan the day I installed the new ROM.

Perhaps one of the experts here would care to explain but the GPS works like magic in Denver but 60 miles south in Colorado Springs it did not work 90% of the time that I tried to use it. Perhaps support is dependant on somthing that you find in major cities that other cities may not have?

Consider yourself lucky getting it to work 10% of the time. I live in NYC, and the damn gps only work for me twice. I have been testing it since the leaked rom.

I finally figured our my problem! In the course of upgrading different ROM's over the past few weeks, my MDN got changed to 0000005778 instead of my real phone number. It must have been when I upgraded to DCD's ROM that changed it. Once I edited the number back to what it should be and did a hard reset, Sprint Navigation worked!

well sprint sent me a confirmation for sprint navigation today with d/l link and d/led it.. but it says no gps device found.. i'm on htc mogul.. any suggestions?

EDIT EDIT EDIT
i searched a lil' more and came up with this by someone here
"On the TeleNav website it says the Mogul only supports external GPS via BT. Hence if you download their app it will be searching for a BT GPS. Download the OEM app (do a search in this forum. Also for GPS to work on your phone you need to have the unofficial officially released leak ROM ver 3.16 with internal GPS enabled"

I had the same problem and no-one from Sprint could help. I had to figure it out myself. I have two Moguls but interestingly enough, it only happened on one phone. Here's what you do. Use total commander (or file explorer) and navigate to the device\windows folder and scroll all the way down until you see two (2) tele-nav files. The file that is larger is the one to use. To test, click on it and watch it go right in. After that copy that file go to device\windows\startmenu\programs and paste shortcut. Remember, it is the larger file (971 K) I believe. Hope this helps.
