Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

[gorto]

I tried this but unable to get any gps. |[ I use google maps to use gps. I get seeking GPS satellites, and then it times out with no satellites. I first installed and used the software with Vista. So I tried everything on XP. I still have no GPS |[. My ppc6800 has ROM version 3.56 with Radio version 3.42.50. Using a ppc kitchen ROM.

I finally got it to work. What I did is checked under start, settings, phone, services, get settings, then changed my location on and it worked. I think that it would be good if shadow adds that to this thread.

Thanks Shadow-Tech I did the QPST on my alltel ppc 6800 and now it says GPS active 5 at 75KB. I'm not really tech savy but your instruction was easy and simple to follow.
Thanks again.

I am running XP 64-bit and I am not sure if that is the reason my phone will not install under devices. It shows up as an unrecognizable serial device x2. I installed the drivers and it stated the wireless drivers installed, but no luck when trying to recognize the phone. Any advice?

FYI This worked perfectly fine for me under Vista x64 Ultimate. Thanks for the post and your work Shadow!

You just installed the wireless modem drivers and the QPST software right? I cant get my machine to recognize the phone.

I did it just like instructed, and used the cab file for Alltel. I have the latest "Windows Mobile Device Center" updates applied to the Vista OS.

On Phone dial ##3424 , then plug it into USB port, WAIT TILL ALL DEVICES ARE INSTALLED (WAIT A GOOD 60 SECONDS)

I had my device manager pulled up and watched it on this step. It took a while for it to show up under ports. Wait until it's completely done. It may have a yellow exclamation point for 20-30 seconds, then it goes away. You should see "HTC Diagnostic Interface (PID xxxx)(com x)" under ports

Shadow-Tech,

Worked on my HP with Vista home Premium (32 bit). Even showed the com port in a small windon in the lower right during the, I think, driver portion of the installation. This is with the latest Alltel Update.

Well, still no-go on the recognization part. I followed the instructions to the letter. Still every time I plug the cable in, windows gives me the same old crap - generic serial, and I have to install the drivers manually. There is a problem though, there are no drivers for it. I installed the verizon-htc wireless modem installer software, and it says it is finished, but no matter where I look for the drivers, there are none. Any thoughts?

I'm looking for PDE server settings for Telecom New Zealand. I've heard you can get these off a Blackberry. Anyone know how to do this?
