I'm pretty sure this is titan specific, but I could be wrong.... I wouldn't recommend using it unless someone could confirm for sure that it is compatible...

Thank you, sir! I didn't actually care for the GPS in my mogul since it took so long to lock on to the satellites. It took less than 10 sec. to lock on sitting in my room, whereas before it took at least 5 mins.

Understood. I wanted to see if you knew before I took the jump. I'll just let the powers that be on this site to test and approve! lol

Ditto on that one, I was carrying around my bluetooth gps since I could hardly ever get the titan to lock before this! I would have to hold it to the car window to keep a constant gps lock while driving around... Now this bad boy locks indoors even in rather large buildings almost instantly with 8-9 satellites... It is definitely now far superior to my bluetooth gps...

I'm amazed at how sensitive the GPS is in my mogul. In my office, I have a brick wall, and a concrete ceiling to another floor. I fire up the gps and in 3-5 seconds it is locked to 5 satellites. My old phone, the m610, it would never see gps in my office... Not to mention it would loose the GPS signal when you really needed it.

I ran into a problem when installing the CAB file. It loads some Custom PPST file in apps, right(at least it says you can uninstall it)?

When I did this, I lost my Sprint PCS connection. Do I need to have a custom rom loaded for this CAB to work? I've had my phone for a little over a week, has GPS and it works. i Just thought this was a simple install to enhance the GPS.


If there's something else needed, please let me know. Otherwise I'm staying clear, it took me 15 minutes to find out it was after loading this CAB I was losing my Sprint connection. Couldn't make calls, couldn't get text messages out. Tried having text messages sent to me, no go. Back up now though.

It shuts down the radio and will require a reboot... Install the cab and run PPST.exe in the windows directory and it should shut down the radio and force you to reboot and you should be fine...

You need to run PPST from the file explorer in the windows directory...

No custom rom is needed but you will need a GPS enabled ROM/radio (if your GPS works already you have this already).

Alright, giving it another go. I didn't get any prompts or anything after running the PPST.exe file. Does it just...'blip' and it's done? I'm assuming it did its thing because I lost the connection again.

I'm going to restart it and see what happens.

Thanks for the quick response.

it should pop up a screen and say that it is updating.... you clicked ppst from the windows directory? you might have to turn on view all files in file explorer...
