Does the Vogue have GPS?

---

I thought I heard that the Vogue has GPS but is locked. Is this true?

The vogue does have GPS and it is locked. You can unlock it by flashing one of the newer ROMs or the kitchen from PPCKitchen.org. I heard DCD is working on an updated kitchen for the Vogue, but he hasn't released it yet.

just my 2cents here...i would not call it "locked", but "disabled" when purchased from Sprint. for the Sprint version there's the stock/leaked ROM that enables GPS and Rev A. as the poster above says, there's quite a few custom ROMs that also enable GPS and Rev A. GPS is not, however, locked to Sprint. don't know about the Telus folks, tho.

Until recently, there have not been any CDMA Touch's(Vogues) with GPS... The hardware is there, but the necessary software isn't.

Most carriers will be releasing an update, however they may not release GPS support. Telus, for example, is only promising Rev. A.

The good news is, yes, the hardware is there. There ARE a few custom roms available which do enable that feature.

I just flashed my Vogue with the sprint rom to update the radio and hardware, then I flashed it with OMJ's Bell rom, and now I have GPS, Rev A speeds and even the bluetooth file transfer is about 30kbps faster(getting 110-115 now as opposed to 75-80 before).

The rev. A speed is nice, internet seems snappy and responsive and I get about 900kbps max throughput.

Edit: forgot to mention, i'm running a Bell Touch that i bought in early december, 2007

I flashed a rom that was suppose to have rev a and gps, i dont seem to have it at all.

I've unlocked and installed one of the leaked ROM's and my GPS is working great, i'm just having problems with my camera, it isn't saving the pictures. It shows the counter decreasing but I can't find where the picture or video is, there isn't anything there.

But, GPS gets a good stable lock everytime and works great with TomTom Navigator and Google Maps.

Search your micro sd card... your pictures should be in a folder named DCIM.

Is there anybody who knows if the HTC touch XL (elfin), (this is the name in france) is similar to vogue?

Is there a solution to verify if my HTC TOUCH elfin is CMDA or not????
