GPS on Alltel Vouge

[Landon4576]

I got the official Alltel 6.1 ROM, and when I go to Google Maps to the "Use GPS" option, I get a "No GPS receiver detected." Please help, as I don't want to have to use Allel Navigator.

In your phone settings is your location set to ON and the com port set to 4??

Let me clarify...in your GPS settings is your GPS program port set to 4? and make sure that in GOOGLE MAPS that your GPS settings are set to COM4 and 57600. It works for me on a fresh install of alltel ROM.

if i do this i still need external gps hardware for it to work.. is that right?

I have all the settings too like you said up above. still doesn't work.

go to:
Start > Settings > Click on your "Phone" icon > click "Services" tab > Make sure "Location Setting" is highlighted, then click the "Get Settings" button.
Make sure it is checked on, then click "ok" in the top right.
Then go to google maps, click menu and make sure use gps has a check mark next to it, if not click it. (its something along the lines of use gps).
that should take care of your problem.

if you ever have to hard reset your phone you will have to do this again.

Check out my old thread here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478910. It was a pain, nut I finally got it working in the end. After the shadow tech fix I consistently get lock in less than 30 seconds outdoors, indoors does`nt work as well, but its still better. This is the only way the get the gps to work correctly on your phone and not pay Alltel 10 bucks a month for their Alltel Nav.

I do have 6.1, Alltel ROM 3.10.671.1, Radio 3.42.30 ...

Make sure location settings is on. if your on Alltel then definitaly do Shadow-tech's GPS fix found here--->

Then install the attached GoogleMaps.cab
After install go to menu in google maps then options then GPS settings and make sure "managed by windows" is checked. exit out then go back into google maps menu and click use GPS and it should work.

I suspect I have a hardware issue. ##DEBUG shows N/A for everything under GPS no matter what. Thanks!
