In his post, click on the green thanks button in the lower right hand corner.

EDIT: Since it counts as a post, you need 50 posts to be able to use it, since you only have 10 you can't use it yet.

Hi, Thank you all for your hard work.

I'm trying to use QuickGPS. At first It wouldn't download the new sat information so I googled the problem and found a patch and reg file.

Now it works, it downloads the new data. BUT.... is there something that i'm missing because I assumed it would help quicken the "sat lock" time but I am still to be able to find or lock unto a sat using google maps.

Thanks!

John

i'm in the same boat. i've done several hard reboots, installing the 3 files, restart, install the gps cab, restart, google maps times out looking for a signal. i've tried with and without quickgps and it doesn't seem to make a difference. live search fails too.

here's hoping jd's rom solves these issues. i'm getting jealous of all the people who've got it working

Hi Music,

Is macflo a no go on the new ROM? That's the only thing thats stopping me from upgrading (since I already have a GPS Puck).

As of right now it is a no go. I haven't flashed over to the Alltel ROM yet, so I don't know what's going on. I was going to wait for jakdillard's ROM. You might want to do the same? If there are enough people who go the Alltel way, I may flash over and see if I can figure it out, but if JD's ROm works for all carriers, then I'll just work on it using that ROM.

Edit: I just noticed that JD doesn't have a "Donate" link. Hm. so, who do I give my money to when the ROM comes out? I already donated to ImCokeMan. Might want to get on that, jak.

My carrier is bell and i got GPS enabled on my phone, its off by a couple of blocks though. I have 1 satellite in view and 1 in use (but then again im in my basement). I followed the instructions of unlocking my phone, installing the alltell rom, unlocking certs 1, 2, and 3 with a soft reset inbetween unlocking certs, installed HTC_enable_GPS, installed quickGPS and set GPS to com4. I'm not sure how to test the speed of my connection on my phone though, and im not even sure if Bell supports revA.

You're definitely off cause you're in your basement with one sat locked on.

Two ways to test rev a, make a phone call and then open up internet explorer and browse the web. Rev a makes it possible now for you to do so, so if it works you should get websites open while on the phone.

Another way, less reliable, is going to dslreports.com/mspeed and testing your speed on that site. Best I've gotten with 1-2 bars is 300kb/s which is faster than what I've gotten before. I believe you can get up to ~900kb/s... i've seen 1000kb/s with rev a. The site though isn't inconsistant in tests.
