GPS not working at all
 
I started using my I910 a month ago and I love it like no other phone I've ever had before. No other phone has so many features and is so hackable. It just does everything I could ever ask for. Except for one thing.

I've never been able to get a satellite lock using any GPS programs. I've tried Google Maps and Amaze. I've been shure to turn my location on in the phone settings and I flashed to CF03 and have tried using MrCapcoms and Bgills roms. I've tried installing VZapps and VZ navigator and still nothing. Any sugggestions? Or do I just have a bad phone?

Not much given to start with so let's start with the basics. Have you set location "on" under settings\phone\services\GPS?

In your GPS settings with whatever program you are using do you have it set to :

COM8

57600

?

hi i hawe omnia i900 and my GPS with TomTom work exellent jast du this
1st - Settings:
I use in external GPS settings - program port "COM7" and hardware port "COM9" at 4800.
(note: Make sure your TomTom7 configure also follows COM7 port!)
2nd - Reboot
Then I shut off the device completely (complete off), and reboot. Once I reboot.
3Rd - Delete the 'GPSID_log' files
I go to File Explorer --> My Device and I delete the TWO 'GPSID_log' fileS.
[note: the reboot step is absolutely necessary, because if you don't reboot,
then it won't allow you to delete one of the 'GPSID_log' file!!!]
4th - Start TomTom7 OUTSIDE (under the clear sky) and within 20 - 30 secs the program catches
the satellites (they show up on the configure screen).
But not only that - after 1-2 minutes the software actually CONNECTS to the satellites
(the satellites turn BLUE) and in the front screen it says - no route planned!
Note: You Must Wait Until The Front Screen Says "No Rote Planned"
and the map is in color (opposed to black and white)
before you start setting your destination, otherwise it will keep on hanging and just
showing you the satellites in grey without ever turning into blue.
