Gps Doesn't work for me..

GPS isn't working for me. i tried the stuff you do for cc20 and then upgraded to adryn's (new) rom version (i love it now adryn). but i still can't seem to get gps working. any suggestions? tried bing but i think i'm missing something important.

Re: Gps Doesn't work for me..

I'm assuming a soft reset is the same as turning off and on, if so, yes.

Flash to Adrynalyne's 4.2 ROM
Settings-->Personal-->Phone-->services-->change GPS settings to location on.

install whichever app you like Google maps, bing, garmin, igo

Grab a beer, go outside, open the application, put the phone down, drink. That's it, there is a better way of doing this involving scotch instead of beer but writing this made me thirsty so good luck to you

Re: Gps Doesn't work for me..

Bing can get my position but only when i am using the maps option. If i hit that locate me button or try to get directions to a place and use the starting location as my GPS location it says it cant get my location. YAY!
