GPS on alltel 6800 - easy way

[bimerguy]

Posting #1 is Good info. shodow-tech but I still need help with this on my Alltel PPC 6900 Touch that does not have it's internal GPS enabled yet.

I have stock OEM Alltel Rom and radio mentioned in the trouble-shooting so I did not perform any ROM update as the 6800 had and saved the 4 files from the zip into my main memory and installed them in sequence per the instructions into Main Memory and confirmed all my settings per the trouble-shooting also and still no GPS enabled.

The only thing I did not find a way to perform was the -Location Setting must be ON...I did get to the Phone\menu\options...\Services\Location Setting on my Alltel Touch and had a listing for the "Location Settings" but could get to a place where I could turn it ON or Off; it was just listed. And whe i highlighted the Location Settings and clicked "Get Settings" it does not respond with anything to allow this On/Off setting.

What's the deal with that??? Any idea on what that means when i cannot get the choice for these Location Settings or is it set to ON since it's listed?

Thanks in advance,

I have the same phone, radio and rom as you do and all you have to do is the 4 files to get your GPS unlocked and then follow Shadow-Tech's instructions and it will work. I hear there is a new ROM coming out this week. I was unable to find the rom download from HTC's web site but it was up there a couple months ago and I flashed it then but now it has been taken off for some reason.

you select location setting then click 'get settings...'

if it does nothing when u click 'get settings...' then i have no idea. ill look into that. i belive there is registry entry for all those items listed. let me see if there is a flag that will disable you from changing that. check back in a bit. if there is you will ne a registry editor. task manager 3.1 will work.
