GPS problem - GoogleMaps & MS Live

zxcvzxcv · #1 (**permalink**) 02-02-2010, 10:06 AM

I have a brand new TP2. My GPS is not working properly. Google Maps pinpoints my location within 95000 meters.

Live Maps also has a problem finding my location.

Can anyone recommend a fix without me having to do a hard reset?

Update your quickgps,prl,profile,and turn on your location.

How do you update your prl(?)/profile? I've been having gps issues as of late...

My Tp2 is different than yours apparently...my path is different, what exactly am I looking for?

but i did find this though. it's how to update your phone's PRL if you are on US Cellular. http://www.uscellularforums.com/current-news/new-prl-update/?wap2 ...don't know how old the posts are, but i've searched key words "us cellular prl update" in google and i got a few references that you dial *228. you may want to check with your carrier how they update your phone's PRL.
