Hello... I am having an issue with GPS and wth email.

GPS.... dosent seem to be working, it looks like it is only triangulating on my location of cell with google maps and gps photo wont connect. Are one of the radios specifically dedicated to GPS? I assume this is the problem because after flashing a rom which changed my radios gps stops working.

With email. everytime I send a message a copy of it is sent directly to my inbox as if i sent the email to myself, a copy also goes to the person I intend to send it to... How do I stop this, cannot find an option for it and it doesnt seem like this is a feature of GMail.

And yes I have read tons of posts on the forum and havent seen any help for this, specifically the email thing... I might be able to get this gps working on my own but help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

GPS will take a loooong time to connect if you are not using QuickGPS periodically (weekly). Check on your last update. I also assume you are telling GoogleMaps to utilize your GPS (main menu) rather than Google's location triangulation. Your radio shouldn't have anything to do with the GPS working. I have flashed virtually every radio and ROM here and never had trouble with GPS.

Please give some more details on your e-mail. Gmail, but are you using the standard mail software? Are you on a Tilt or an HTC branded device? Which ROM? I'm using Gmail with the standard software and have never seen anything like this through many ROMs.

this is the rom: 3.03.405.0 (Radio 1.64.06.04) I have a tilt. I setup the email by clicking setup new email account, then also checked through the options afterwards and theres nothing that indicates it would be sending a duplicate to myself.

Yes i have quick gps and it is updated. It seemed like gps connected with google maps but it took a while ... after clicking get gps (knew you had to do this). When I go to the gps photo it just says initializing GPS... and never does anything else.

Thanks.

I've never used QuickGPS and haven't had a problem. However, I use googlemaps, virtualgps and earthcomber (all free) no problems!

QuickGPS usually runs automatically in the background. I just wanted to assure that McEven had it installed and running. If your GPS isn't taking 5 minutes or so to get your location when first activated, you're using QuickGPS and don't know it. Every GPS uses some sort of ephemeris data updating process to speed up the process of finding your location. If not, your GPS would have to compute the locations of the satellites...which takes a much longer time. Open QuickGPS and see when the last update was. It's almost certainly been updated within the last week. It needs an update of ephemeris data at least every 8 days to be assured of correct data.
