Doesn't seem to be keeping that setting or else the dialer is lying?

It has been my experience that the icon just shows you that the gps is actively functioning and not enabled or disabled.

For instance it shows a line through the icon at the moment, (but location setting is turned on) when I start livesearch for instance. The line goes away and shows an active gps. I don't even think this means it is actually locked on either. Just functioning.

On a side note I have tried to download GGmap, but the new versions seems a lot different. More a wap version or something. Touch screen does not work. Nor is there a functing for "gps enable" I have to use the navigation function. It seems to install a java app if I go to www.google.com/gmm is there a different site with a correct .cab at google?

This thread is groing way to fast. Took me a few hours to catch up since yesterday.

any ideas? or possible solutions?

im about to just reflash this rom and let everything run..but i think im going to have to cakk sprint and have them reprogram my phone or something!

I did the same thing. Just hard reset and let customizations run. You should always hard reset after your first flash anyways since it's been fixing a lot of the issues people here were having.

I believe you are installing the Smartphone version. The Site you need to visit from your mobile phone is http://m.google.com/maps and then click on "INSTALL NOW". That should install the PPC version.

Yes, you can "still" tether like you used to with just your vision plan as long as you do the reg edit posted earlier.

Here is the link to the reg edit needed to tether with this new ROM:

Tried it as well. Still same result. Looks like a smartphone version yeah. Let me try it via PIE.

[edit]

Ok I have the right version. Opera 9.5 keeps sending me to smartphone websites

[SprintTouch08]

the correct google map link is google.com/gmm

Have XV6900. Now getting up the nerve to do this flash, etc. See doing a 2nd hard reset is genrally necessary. On verizon phone, do I need to soft-reset before the customization happpens every time I do a hard reset?

I installed this new rom last night. it was my first rom i have installed on my touch. very simple to do. process took about twenty to thirty minutes to complete.

Pros:
*Love the WinMo 6.1 and the threaded text messages and the new office "onenote"
*Rev-A is great, seems to work much faster than EVDO in my area
*GPS seems to lock in on my device within seconds. i used it this morning en route to the office and it tracked me flawlessly

Cons:
***TCPMP does not work (the original version), you must find the one that is compatible with 6.1 (you can find it here) http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30178

***hhc customizer does not allow for the fifth tab (which i normally use for the audio manager) so i lose the ability to play my music from my home screen.


These are the minor issues that i am aware of, and have actually ran into.

Here are questions that i do have for any of you that may be able to answer:

***How much is being charged if any to use gps (with live search, or google maps)?
***I have the $15.00/month unlimited vision plan
***Can we still tether without the extra charges?

so all in all i think that the upgrade is definately worth it. hope this helps some, and hope some can fill me in with my questions. Thanks for all the great work guys

What version of HHC are you using? I tried installing it and it freezes up the phone and forces me to hard reset to fix. At first HTC home 2.1 I thought was the problem but I installed Xplode's version posted on this site and it started working. But when I tried puttin on Hermes HHC it froze everything. Anybody else having this issue?

I got the HHC 1.0 final from pocketemu.com. I have not had any luck loading HTC Home 2.1 on it though every version I have tried has made the phone freeze after the reboot. If any one knows which one to use please point it out. This fixes the weather problem doesn't it?
