ecatapano · #1 (**permalink**) 11-25-2009, 08:18 AM

Ok so I have read just about every post in here about trying to get gps to lock and i have double and tripled checked all my setting. I have attached creen shots just so i can be sure that i am not missing anything.

Please help the only phone i have been able to get a gps lock on was my touch pro. Still can't get a lock on me 6800 or tp2.

Since you use cooked rom, have you installed Mighty Verizon carrier cab? Try that, and soft reset the phone, then try to use gps again. By the way, I don't know whether Might Rom have update profile build-in, if so try to update profile as well.

its all over his thread where you got the ROM. I dont even have Verizon and I know where it is. Or his new ROM doesn't require it

mine is managed by windows. i also have managed by windows checked on the gps settings/access tab.

some questions...are you outside when trying to get a lock? are you in a city? how much time have you waited? i think the first time i fired up my tp2 it took about 10 minutes for a lock. never taken that much time before or since.
