GPS always says WEAK SIGNAL!! EVERYwhere!
something is wrong. Basically ANYWHERE I go. It says GPS weak signal and it never does the GPS thing. I've never had this problem with any other phone.

this is bogus. what gives.

Install this, you'll get gps lock within 5 seconds with atleast 8+ satellites.

Period!

After going through your post on each of my Touch Pro 2 devices (3 of them), I still have the lag. I am use to it now.

Re: GPS always says WEAK SIGNAL!! EVERYwhere!
The Touch Pro phones have a program on them called Quick GPS. You need to use this program. It downloads GPS information from the Network and allows the GPS to be awesome! I have NEVER had an issue with the GPS on my Touch Pro 1 or Touch Pro 2.
Go into this program that comes on your phone, and select the option for it to automatically update when it expires...

Re: GPS always says WEAK SIGNAL!! EVERYwhere!
Like others have said, use quickgps. I was amaized that I can get a quick lock (under 5 seconds) IN MY HOUSE!. Using iGo8 it or google maps it shows at least a 6 satellite lock. Amazing for a device without an external antenna.

Oh, and your sig says you have a touch Pro. This is the Pro2 forum so I assume you just forgot to update your sig.
