Tired of no GPS

[zim2704]

OK, so I started reading this website to get my Alltel Touch to work with GPS. So far I have done everything that I can find to do regarding GPS. I am hoping by posting this somebody with more skill than me can lead me somewhere new. So far I have tried astrogpsviewer, gpsviewer, and the HTC GPS Tool under connections. After playing around with the settings on all of them I have yet to find just 1 satellite . Any ideas or links would be appreciated.

Rom Version - 3.02(dharvey's custom v2.9 rom) previously Alltels official 3.04.671.2 rom
Radio - 3.37.10

Will be glad to give anymore info about my phone just ask.....getting pretty desperate about this.

if the one didn't work, uninstall and try the other. I can't tell you anything about the .cabs other than it helped when I couldn't get the gps to work.

What mapping program do you use, and what port or baud rate do you have it set on.

OK so here it is finally able to get GPS working for the first time and it locked in around 60sec tracking 4-6 satellites. I went to this web address http://www.smartdevicefreeware.com/h...l-htc-ppc6800/ and followed it exactly how it says and viola working. haven't been able to test it fully i.e. soft resets, hard resets, driving around, stopping/starting google maps but so far on it's first start-up it's working.

SOoo you didn't read the zilions of posts on here and missed the "Once your phone is up and running again, navigate to Start -> Settings and click the Phone icon

• Click the Services tab, Select Location Settings and then click the Get Settings button. Ensure that 911 service is ON (box checked) "

Step i'm guessing.
