Cricket - Vx6900 Gps "help 911"

[wakko69]

I have a VX6900 that was Flashed to Cricket, I have GPSViewer, Google maps, HTC GPS tool, & Quick GPS. each one see that i have a GPS card but I have never gotten a lock on, I have followed many treads, but I still can't get the GPS to work on my phone. please Help

my sister flashed her sprint version of the touch to cricket and she uses gps toggle to turn on/off the gps receiver. i suggest that you only have google maps and gps toggle installed, and nothing else. give it a try and let me know if it worked out for you!

good luck

I've been told that nothing i do will enable my GPS because it was flashed wrong

I will post you a nice tutorial tomorrow for the GPS and if you PM or post your email I will send you one of my cricket custom ROMS for the touch.

I have included a custom ROM in this tutorial
1st off credit is due to those that wrote these programs I only take credit for putting this all together.

#1 use msl grabber to get the msl/spc code found here
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43560
install via activesync or sd card and run on ppc.

#2 unlock with the 2.31 unlocker listed here
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370

#3 flash this sprint 6.1 ROM to update radio "WARNING DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATION RUN" SOFT RESET WHEN IT SAYS AUTO CUSTUMIZATION IN 3 SECONDS. This is for GPS1 to work.
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownloa...cat=2&dl_id=66
To do this connect USB to computer then Press power camera and Reset to get to bootloader red green yellow screen and connect to cable then run the exe file. DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATION RUN SOFT RESET WHEN IT SAYS CUSTOMIZE IN 3 SECONDS.


#4 Go to the following and download from windows drivers and unlocking tools
http://www.4shared.com/dir/13898363/...4/sharing.html
QPST
windows htc driver
activesync4.5
Ryanmogul diagnostics shortcuts

Install Ryans diagnostics on ppc
Install QPST on computer
Install htc drivers on computer
Put phone into diag mode & connect to computer. computer should connect and find new device

Now in QPST run from top menu start clients service programing.
Select phone
Read from phone imput spc/msl code from the grabber.
Then enter 000000 in the service programing field.
Write to phone
now while in QPST lets get your GPSone ste up for cricket.
Go to the GPS1 tab and uncheck all the boxes then recheck them.

pde ip address 117.29.223.11
pde port # 8080
pde transport IP
Position calculation mobile
Write to phone
close out
I would recommend now to flash a custom ROM here is a link to one of mine. http://www.4shared.com/file/135174580/27254c16/VOGUIMG.htmlinstall on a FAT32 formated 2gig or less msd card and rename to VOGUIMG.NBH THEN INSERT CARD AND PUT PHONE INTO BOOT LOADER AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.
You will need a cricket PRL to load through PST setting.

then go to this thread it will help you set up your pst setting correctly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492824 *NOTE* In some cricket markets you will need to change from EVRC to VOICE 13K to make outgoing calls. YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD THE MMS CAB FROM HERE and then
Install the cricketwapmms cab

Do not try to open a data connection untill you have cricket service on the phone.
To authinticate your user name 10digit#@mycricket.com
you must have service.

Just a couple notes to have Email and push services work you MUST have the $15.00 HTML plan on your account and your phone must be listed in the system as a QA4 Evoke.
GPS may Require priming unless you use Ryans Googlemaps.cab
Credits go to ImCokeMaN for the unlocker and his great tutorial
and Ryanmogul6800 on XDA for his great software and his perfect PST setting.


Please let me know if this helped any or if I can be of any further assistance.

hi i am tryin to get the gps running using your fix but all of the links are not working when i click on them but just to tell you what im working with i have the sprint vogue flashed to cricket and im running the new nsfan wm6.5 v16 rom and when i try gps viewer i cant find a fix, so is it the rom maybe cause my radio is 3.42.50....so can you point me in the right direction cause my phone is amazing but the gps is a setback and this is something that i really want spent weeks looking for something so thanks for all of your help

[whitey10tc]

I apologize for that I don't know why they don't work here is the GPS1 setting that need to be entered in QPST. Your radio version is good to go for GPS.
while in QPST lets get your GPSone ste up for cricket.
Go to the GPS1 tab and uncheck all the boxes then recheck them.
then enter the following
pde ip address 117.29.223.11
pde port # 8080
pde transport IP
Position calculation mobile
Write to phone
It looks like you have a good rom to be using so most of the links you don't really need.
Links you may need are below and they do work I just checked.
QPST http://www.4shared.com/file/101893747/6958b637/QPST_v27_Build_301.html
