However, when I go into HTC GPS Tool I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to be doing. I have made sure I set the com on 4, baud at 4800, under function I set the chip as Q 7500, under mode or setmode I set it as Cold Start and then I open the port. I then run Google Maps and click Use GPS but it times out and I never get any signal. Am I missing a step or two? ...I have stock ROM (haven't had the guts yet to flash or unlock my phone yet).

Did you make sure Location is set to On in your phone settings?

Ok, thanks bro!

Will this work with a stock rom or only an unlocked phone?

I have to ask the same question. When I run PPST it puts the phone in power save mode and turns the radio off.

My Location is on - and i'm performeing the same steps as described by bnjcook

Thanks

The only place I know where I can set that is in Google Maps and it does say I have location turned on. Is there somewhere else I need to check?

Settings->Phone

Location On Checked (intsead of 911 only)

Oh, yeah! That makes sense! (Sorry, guys)...but, it still isn't working. Am I not getting the settings right in the GPS Tool software. I'm a little unclear of exactly what I should be doing and in what steps. Sorry I have to have such detailed directions. I really am techno inclined. I just can't seem to get this gps thing turned on. I appreciate all your help!

I am running this on a xv6850 with the stock rom and it is locking on in about 30 seconds at 4 satellites and up. Great work!!!
