Did you disable the HTC dialer skin? The stock WM6 dialer doesn't recognize that *228 is a programming code. Try *228 then option 1. If that works, let it do its thing. If the roaming indicator persists, then try *22899.

Try this... install sdkcerts.cab first ... softreset... then install qgps cab


If you download these files you should atleast take a second to click thanks.....

Thanks. BTW - what is the source of the certificates? I don't want to install some certs that would later allow something malicious to run on my device. Or is this an unavoidable consequence I must live with?

So anyone could use them to create something, sign it and if these certs were installed, it could run on the device? Guess I'll just have to be careful.

BTW - I am able to start QuickGPS now so this did improve things. Will try a download next then edit the post with results.

EDIT - Working. SDKCerts.cab --> Soft reset --> QuickGPS.cab --> Soft Reset --> Initiate internet connection --> Start QuickGPS --> Download

BTW - I found that QuickGPS will fail with the "connection failed" error almost immediately (< 1 second after you clock download) if your HKLM\Services\GPSConnService key is missing. It shouldn't be unless you removed it for some stupid reason (let's not go into how I know this). Note - the only value in that key is GPRSConnection = GPRS1, and GPRS1 doesn't appear anywhere else in the registry. I wonder if this were replaced with whatever the prefix for the CDMA data connection might be, we wouldn't have to initiate a data connection first?

Next question is how fast will I lock tomorrow (after letting the ephemeris data expire from earlier this evening before QuickGPS)...
