Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Ok I must be missing something here, I've searched and searched, tried and tried, yet I can not get the gps to work on my phone what-so-ever. Maybe I'm being stupid and not finding that it still requires an external GPS reciever but I can't find where it says it.

Here is the info on my device. If I go into diag mode I have:

VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.31.Coke
CPLD-3

Radio Version: 3.37.78
Rom Version: 3.14.605.1
(Official Version MR1 Update)

Every place I read it says I just need to install the Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab, turn location to ON and I should be good to go. In Schaps_AdvancedConfig_v2.0.2.0 it shows that AGPS is turned On. But I can never get a fix, lock or anything. Am I just stupid here or am I missing something I need to do. I do have a external Bluetooth GPS reciever but would prefer NOT to use it.

I tried one of the custom kitchen roms, and still no go.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Jason

The Verizon aGPS server isn't working. Read my post from here. You need to use Telus aGPS settings. Let me know if you need more help...

Ok I did a hard reset to my phone, and did everthing in the instructions minus the ip change (QPST edits), Turned Location to ON, downloaded Google maps, and it just sits there saying "Seeking GPS Satellites (0)" All settings in Google maps and in the external GPS in the phone are default which if I read correctly is what its supposed to be. :-(

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

You have to install Valhalla cab, you need to install Serf Telus aGPS for Valhalla cab, you dont' need QPST, location should be on, external GPS should be port 4, you need QuickGPS and run it to get sat locations, then dial *22899 and let reboot.

Then you need HTC Quick GPS (port 4, hot start, open, nav init). Let it sit 5-10 minutes while driving around (tap screen to keep alive). Watch the radar screen and see if you are picking up any sats.

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

wow....thats a lot of crap to do. I feel lucky to have a Sprint vogue.

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

LOL, you must not flash very often. This stuff takes a minute to do, most of us have flashed and tinkered for months if we were to stack the time end to end.

It is not so tough if you are running a custom rom. Plus these are EXTRA steps for Valhalla people who cannot lock.

You are right that it is better running Sprint for a lot of reasons, only downside for me is coverage. If Sprint's coverage was decent on the West Coast I would change in a minute. I had them for the first few weeks out here and lost a million calls; since their coverage map hasn't changed since then, no reason to switch. I wish I could have the 99 everything plan.

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Honestly, i'm too afraid to flash my phone. I know, i know....i spend a lot of time on this forum and i'm lame. However, good coverage map or not, i work at radioshack so i get unlimited everything for 20 bucks a month :) :D

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Still no go, Tried for about 20 min while I was outside. Does this require a custom rom?

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

No, you do not. Could be the phone itself, but using a custom rom would rule out any user error. I would personally start from scratch and do everything clean. It is sometimes tough with some installations, and wiping and starting over can help. Sorry this has been so tough for you.

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Unfortunatly this is the 5th time I've restarted, hard reset, reinstall, etc. I really don't want to go through that again. I know I've got to be missing something stupid. I just wish I knew what it was. For now I'll just fall back to my external GPS and maybe try it again sometime. I did install a custom rom yesterday, but don't have the time right now to keep doing it to get the settings the way I want it. Besides being a noob at custom roms I find it a bit confusing as to the best things to install.

Thanks for the help thus far.

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

okay so i feel your problem. iv tried and tried and tried different things and not locks no luck.](*,) the one thing i havent tried is going to a pre gps rom and then to a gps rom. so if u went from the off. vzw 6.1 update to a custom gps rom your gps wont work. the only reason i haven tried this yet is because i havent found a good help thread about doing it via usb only. im afrade to use the meathod of flashing using sd card. so if someone has one a big thanks i advance.

just something i started at but didnt end up finding what i wanted hope it helps man http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/archive/in...p/t-30718.html

if u try this let me know how it goes on the account if im to much of a noob to try (and scared)

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Ok so I'm going to try a custom cooked rom and see if this helps me out. But I have a question. Since I have radio version 3.37.78, do I need to upgrade to the Sprints 3.42.30 version?

I think I'm going to go ahead and give it a shot, but just wanted to ask.

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Where do you live? I live in Las Vegas, Nv and have always had outstanding service. Even when i worked in the basement of the casino as a cook. Only Sprint/Nextel worked down there. All the sous chefs have Nextel chirps.

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Santa Barbara CA. We have a lot of farm/herding land between cities and verizon is the only service that you can get between cities on my drive home.

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Ahhh, that sucks. Sprints cust serv is horrible but i have only dropped two or three calls since i have had my Vogue. (got it a month after it was released)

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Hey guys - maybe you can help me. I followed all of the instructions at: http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?t...IX_VERIZON_GPS to downgrade my radio and work my way back up. (Before I did that, I had done the aGPS hack - installed the drivers and changed everything in QPST, but it still wasn't working.) So I decided to follow those steps from start to finish.

Problem is, now when I try to install the drivers in HTC Diagnostic mode, I keep getting the MS New Hardware Wizard looking for the drivers. I've installed, and reinstalled (rebooting the desktop every time) at least 4 times - same result every time. (I actually tried doing it on a different computer as well, and get the same result, so I assume it's something I've done with the phone.

I've now updated to the 3.42.50 Radio w/ the Bell Rom, and then flashed NFSFAN's 6.5 v6. Any ideas?

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Ok results from this is a no go, My guess is my vogue is really locked or something. Oh well going to revert back to the updated verizon rom and put all my settings on again. Thanks for the help all, its just a lost cause for me.

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Try this after installing WModem drivers. Get activesync connection and put phone in DMR mode. Unplug miniUSB from phone and plug back in. It should recognize then and allow you into service programming.

Re: Must be me, Vogue GPS Question
 

Thanks for the reply Josh. Unfortunately that didn't work, but I actually got some help from kmanuel over @ XDA.

In case anyone else has the problem, it turns out that it was because I'm running XP on my desktop. XP requires special drivers. The further problem was that I tried installing them, they weren't installed in the drivers folder, they were in another folder labeled 'DRVSTORE'.

Anyway, if you're getting the New Hardware Wizard when you're connecting in DIAG mode, check out this thread - worked for me & kmanuel!
