Alltel Touch Pro GPS Help Thread
I think I am having the same problem as everyone else with the Alltel TP GPS. I have absolutely no luck finding satellites in my hometown, yet if I travel out of my hometown I can get signal 99% of the time. I tried locking in while I was driving back from work (Ocala, FL) to my hometown (Sarasota, FL) and it worked all the way to my house. As soon as I turned I turned Google Maps off it couldn't find me anymore.
I have tried all the tricks to make it work including the obvious "turn on my location". If anyone have a solution that works please let me know. I have heard that if you use the Alltel Nav program then the GPS picks up very well, so there must be something there. |
Re: Alltel Touch Pro GPS Help Thread
I have an Alltel TP (got it the day it was released) and have *never* had any issues. I have done no tweaks or anything. I am running the most recent Conflipper ROM but in the past have also cooked with Calcu's kitchen. Maybe I am lucky, but always locks quickly.

Consequently, when using say Google Maps, it's unable to find My Location and also unable to find any GPS statellites. I thought at first this was because I needed to set up a subscription or something to GPS through Alltel... is that the case? On my GFs phone she uses Alltel Navigation and it's able to find her just fine. |

Could it be a problem with Quick GPS being cooked into the ROM? Or am I on the right track thinking maybe GPS access is something I need to subscribe to / activate through Alltel first? I have an unlimited data plan, but I don't know if that includes GPS as well. Edit - Fixed. Location settings were turned off and COM settings for GPS were set to wrong port. Corrected and GPS is up and running. |
