GPS ?

Opening Internet Explorer and installing worked just fine. It's all good now.

This is an Opera issue. Noticed the same thing with a couple different mobile downloads. Right when I loaded into IE everything works perfectly.

Well, Bing is just not working properly. About 60% of the time it can't find my GPS. If it were 100% of the time, I could understand, but 60% makes no sense. At least it gives me directions, but I would really like the GPS to function properly.

So Waze is out, Bing is out (I'm guessing on this--if anyone knows how to make it work, I'd really appreciate it!), what else could I try that doesn't cost a fortune?

(and the only reason I'm not willing to pour more money into this is that it seems everytime I do--I've bought TomTom and Garmin--they either don't work right off or work for some time and then stop, what a waste of $$$!)

TIA!

Strange...I wonder if your GPS issues stem from the setup you have on your device? In other words, the rom you are running or settings that have been changed for one reason or another. I use both Bing and Telenav and keep QuickGPS updated and things work smoothly except when I loose cellular signal for a moment. That may also be what is happening to you. Maybe you would be better served using an app that doesn't require a data connection? I'm not sure what to suggest though.

Hi horndoctor, I'm running Lead ROM, maybe that is the problem? QuickGPS is autoupdated as well. It's very strange, as it is an intermittent problem. Now I'm beginning to think that my Waze problems were somehow related to this, whatever it is :-/

Hmm...well Lead Rom is a good choice so I don't suspect that but maybe it's something you have installed since your flash. Maybe try doing a hard reset or maybe even Task29 then reflash Lead Rom, then update QuickGPS, then reinstall Bing and whatever else you want to try and see if you have better results. Then if you still can't get GPS to function I'd say you have a hardware problem.

well bing and waze are now working great, except that i've now lost sound

was hoping to wait for the next release of lead rom before reinstalling everything, but i use my phone to dj, so no sound isnt an option. grrr
