I have had the Alltel PPC6800 and got the internal GPS working and now am switching to a Alltel Touch and need to know if I can get the Alltel Touch to have it's GPS activated like the PPC6800?

Thanks,

I am running with the Alltel 3.04.671.2 ROM. This has changed GPS on my Vogue from a novelty to a useful tool I can count on. Before running this it would sometime take several minutes before I could get a lock, if at all. Now I am getting a lock within 20-30 seconds and in places I could not before.

I set the position calculation to mobile and GPS mode to 2. I tried it with GPS mode of 4 and it is about the same as with 2.

Yup.

After doing this Super Fast lockon it's working now!!! I get locks on 8 SATs in 10 seconds or less indoors!!!

I have a 6800 from USCC runing dcd 3.2.5 and radio rom 3.42.50. I can get to the step of adding a port. I add the only port that shows up as usb. This is the same port that shows up in device manager. I click "Active Phones" tab, nothing is listed. I click "Start Clients" and "Service Programing". Here is where the trouble is. The only choice is "Work Offline". It's not recognizing the phone.

Should there not be 2 devices listed as USB when I click "Add Port"? I have tried this several times and rebooted the phone and the comp several times.

Thanks,

Buddy

there should be two devices that have usb next to em.

try adding the other device.
then see if a phone shows up in active phones.

ensure that u are putting the phone in diagnostic mode properly.

I have downloaded that app from the location in that link, unzipped it, and when I try to run it, I get an error indicating that it's not a valid Win32 application.

I even copied the .dll file that was included in the .zip file to my system32 directory, and that didn't work either.

Could you tell me what I need to do to make this work?

Thanks!
