My friend is visiting home in the U.K. and he has a Sprint Touch Pro. Understandably, the phone does not work in England, but he fully expected the GPS to work, yet he cannot get it to work at all.
He has been trying with different GPS software, but can't get any indication the GPS is working...
Currently, he is at his parents' house and can surf just fine on their WiFi connection, but no GPS...
Thoughts?
Thanks!

The GPS requires a cell data connection because it is "assisted GPS"

If he had tom tom or something that doesnt require downloading maps it would work though right?

That's a very good question, and one I haven't have the opportunity to test on my Touch Pro yet. I have iGo Nav-n-Go on my device. What if I were in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky or Indiana, with no cell signal - wouldn't I still be able to navigate? If not, that is a HUGE disappointment in the GPS capability. I thought A-GPS was one thing (triangulation from towers) and full-on GPS (with a dedicated GPS chip) communicated directly with satellites...
Matt
Alright, I disproved that theory about assisted GPS. Last night while driving home from hockey, I turned off my phone via the Com Manager, then opened up iGo Nav N Go and right away my GPS found where I was at, and the program worked flawlessly.

It didn't require the Sprint radio to be running at all. Granted, apps like Google Maps or Live Search would be ineffective with the radio turned off, but if you have a stand-alone GPS application such as TomTom, Nav N Go or something similar, then GPS should work just fine.
Obviously in the case of being in the U.K., it would require having the maps for that country, otherwise the stand-alone apps wouldn't be able to show you squat!
Matt
Why do people still thing these phones NEED data connections to get GPS fixes? They *can* use them to achieve a quicker fix but do not require it. Keep in mind, without a connection it might take a while to get a fix.
This has been proven many times... Actually, I personally had comm manager off on my phone on a plane, but the GPS on, watching the speed and altitude. I don't know if the airline would have liked that...
GG
edit* Certian GPS nav software will let you load the maps from other sources, googlemaps for instance will not.
Just heard back from my friend after he read my message about the success of my test. He said the main thing he's wanting to do is geotag photos, and the Touch Pro simply will not find a GPS signal with the camera app nor footprints. He's not even concerned about using a map application at this point (heck, it's his hometown!).
Not sure why he can't get a signal for geotagging purposes, but it's just not happening. What a drag...

Not, sure but the Crackberry Pearl user on my account gets data for a huge roaming rate over there. All her emails came through, and we all know the Pearl isnt a better phone, so maybe its his plan? Who knows. Sorry
I was in poland recently and also treyd to get tomtom with poland maps on it to get a fix, on my sprint touch pro with agps disabled...
BUT WITH NO LUCK!!!!
I treyd everything like turning off phone in comm manager and so but it didnt work.
Anyone know if you can actually make the phone NOT need a data connection to use the GPS??? I had an Alltel Touch Pro with Tomtom that NEVER needed a data connection to get a lock but now that Im with Sprint and have a Sprint Touch Pro, Im using the same version of Tomtom with the same map and installed it the same way but no matter what, it ALWAYS want to use a data connection. Anyonw have a clue why?? I tried turning my radio off and it could not get a lock for about a half hour. As soon as I turned the radio back on it got a lock within seconds. Any ideas. Thanks.

After browsing around Verizon's website today, I noticed something. I went in to change my plan (needed more minutes) and noticed there was an option to add VZNav to your plan on that same screen at the bottom. If you're one of the many that want VZnav on your phone even if it means paying the $10 a month for it, you're in luck.... FOLLOW THESE STEPS IF YOU'VE GOTTEN VZNAV INSTALLED AND IT ASKS FOR ACTIVATION BY CALLING *611 on previous attempts.
The following steps worked for me:
1. Log into VZW's website and go to change your plan. When you're at that screen, you'll notice you can add VZnav capabilities to your phone. Select it and make the changes. The following confirmation screen will give you a rundown of your current plan and features.
2. Download the update from UTstarcom's web page http://handsets.utstar.com/view_phone_details.aspx?mcode=XV6800&bID=89&sAct=0.
3. Flash your phone using the instructions within the zip you just downloaded.
4. Once your phone is successfully flashed and the customizations run, reprogram your phone by dialing *228... then reboot your phone.
5. Once your phone is rebooted, download the VZnav software from your phone's internet explorer home page under the VZ Navigator link and install it.
6. Provided the installation goes smoothly.. reboot once more.
7. Start the VZnav program and follow all of the instructions where you'll have to set up the defaults for the vznav software.
8. Moment of truth! Once you get to the VZnav home screen go to "maps & traffic" and tap on "where am i?" If the installation/activation was successful, your GPS location will be found within 5-10 seconds.
Congratulations, you just did what several of VZW techs could not do, which was add VZnav on to your plan and get it working. Every feature I've tried with the software works great. The 4 or 5 functions I tried had locks within 5 seconds. I haven't done too much experimenting because I did all of this... at work, on my work pc. (I love my job)
VZNAV WILL NOT WORK (without serious modding if even at all) IF YOU HAVE NOT USED THE OFFICIAL VZW UPDATE. WEIGH YOUR OPTIONS BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH WITH THIS BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE TOMTOM/OTHER PROGRAMS WITHOUT A FIGHT AFTER THIS FLASHING.

You won't be able to use them at all with the internal GPSOne chipset in the XV6800 after flashing......
Yes, you can. You just have to go through a hellish process in flashing backwards to get the original PRI... The two events are mutually exclusive. You have to choose VZW update w/ VZnav capabilities, or a kitchen w/ other programs.
Thats what my point was, it is either / or......
Not sure how people are having difficulties getting VZ Nav. After correcting my PRI issuue with a DMU reset. Everything was fine. I just installed VZ Nav and had VZ NAV Provisioned on my Account and it worked perfectly. It is much nicer on the 6800 with the screen and 4.1 versus my old Razor.
Any idea's as to why my GPS is performing this crap here:
I have Verizon wireless vz navigator 4.1.0. It loads up fine but it keeps saying "loading privacy policy..." with the loading icon spinning.
It takes about 30 seconds to a minute(of what seems like its trying to connect to the web for something), and then I get this message: "unable to get privacy setting."
And then it exits out to a big message box that says "There was a problem initializing the GPS. Please exit and restart VZ Navigator."
Now I have the HTC XV6800 from UTstarcom with the latest ROM update from them so that I have Rev A and Windows Mobile 6.1 etc... That I flashed. Basically the Rom file released on August 26 2008.
I tried to do *228 and press 1. Then I did a soft reset. I also did this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421008
to try and activate the GPS. That works, but VZ navigator does not. (That was the whole DRM mode ##3424 and the whole QPST and driver/comm installation and the GPS viewer tool)
I have applied to and purchased the monthly VZ navigator service feature and package. Now, I dont have a data service and I blocked any data going though my phone because IE would start up on its own and rack up charges. So I dont have mobile web. But apparently on the website it is included as a feature for my phone when before it wasn't.
But I do have Wifi enabled and its connected to my wireless network at home and at work. It seems to be connecting to the server and internet. But it just cant seem to work with my phone either way, even though it seems that there is no support. Thankfully though atleast I dont get the LBS error or anything like that.
But any idea's or help or troubleshooting tips and suggestions you can offer to have me get this thing working?

This may have been addressed... but do you have location settings to Location on instead of 911 only? By default.. the new rom has it as 911 only.
Yep its on.
Works great!
I was looking for something better than google maps to use and I'm quite impressed with this app. I did some test routes this morning and it works awesome. I think its worth the 10 bucks a month for use.
Screen shots anyone?
Can anyone post screen shots of this app in use?
Is it really that much better than Garmin Mobile XT? I have that working beautifully with 2009 maps.
Here are some screen captures. Not sure if it is better then Garmin but it never let me down with my Razor or my Wife U-740. I don't have to keep memory cards and since I added this my bill dropped by $20 when switching to the Premium Plan that we had previous.
As for his not working it may be because of no data connection. It will launch your data connection which needs to do the privacy policy. I tried doing it with WIFI while they attempt to fix my lost connection and it didnt work. My guess is that is your issue no data connection for it to launch and then use.
The GPS detection issue is easy fixed by making sure location is ON and not just 911. I also tried setting up the program without a data session active, no luck, without a VZW data session in progress, the privacy policy will not load. If you enable location AND enable data at least for a few minutes, you'll be good to go. I'll post screenshots here in a few as soon as I get a program that'll do it.
Here are those screenshots of VZnav in action! I would have posted some live GPS locks but my office is damn close to being a bunker. There's no way any gps is going to get a lock where I work lol

I have it enabled. ButI use a wifi connection. Apparently the website wont let me disable the datablock without paying $45, I am not going to do that for just a few minutes.
My wifi connects fine to the web, it should be able to get what it needs there.

I think you are running into the same issue MMS has. MMS requires Verizon data... as apposed to your WIFI / Ethernet home internet. At least from my experience.
Is there a fix for that?

That sounds a little sketchy. You should be able to use the pay per MB feature just like anyone else with a VZW phone. I have a family member on my account, he doesn't have data, but can still access VZW web for $1.99/MB. I've heard VZnav uses satellites AND towers to help determine your location, this may be difficult if you aren't accessing their towers (instead of using VZW data you are using home WIFI). If anyone can revise/add to this theory, please do. Also if you look at my screenshots, a data plan is pretty much required to use 50% of the functions within the program. Weather, looking up places such as movie theaters and even software updates.

That sir, seems to be the question of this thread.
This is ridiculous. I enabled the web and now I get error code 11 ppp connection message.
Why cant they just do things simple?
Hello All,\
I've made a little program called WifiLocations. It does a lot more then you might think, currently:
Current Version : V0.6
- Specify locations (based on GSM/UMTS Cell-ID) where WiFi will be activated automatically (and turned off when you leave)
- Specify locations where Bluetooth will be activated automatically (and turned off when you leave) or the otherway around (for headset/carkit usage).
- Specify locations where your ringer should be turned off or to vibrate (and back to previous state when you leave)
- Run a user-specified program when in specified location (and the choice of killing it when you leave).
- Name the Cell's so it's a little less confusing.
- Autostart on reboot-option
You don't need GPS for this!
CDMA cells are not supported, if you have info on how to read the ID's contact me.
If you think something doesn't work right, please let me know in this thread!
If you want to request a feature, please ask here!
I produced this because I use my incoming voip number a lot when I'm on wifi and I didn't want to activate wifi everytime I walk into a wifi-location (hence the name!). You can add your current location or walk around for 60seconds in your house to add all used GSM/UMTS-cellsites. (You have to add them both if your in a low 3g-signal area)
Well if you like it, let me know or even donate I've always wanted to go to st. Petersburg and trying to pay for a ticket by developing free software
Click on it to see the real status, this is just an image! Thanks!
Not for commercial use...
Free to distribute as long as it includes a link to my donation page along with the download link and a link to these forum pages.

-Killing the app by pressing 'X' doesn't remove the trayicon
great tool thank you very much
Let me know if it works for you and what you what doesn't especially since I don't have a change myself to test is on other that gms/umts networks....
VERY NICE!!!
Just tried it, one thing, in the "walk around for 60 seconds" I did this, and it found another cell site, but it never added it.
Also, will it turn off the WIFI when out of range of the cell sites?
I will take a look at the 'non-adding-after-60-s' error tonight. And it should disable wifi when you're outside the reach of the gsm/umts-cell.
Actually it DID add it after I closed it down and re-started it, it now shows the other cell site.
thanks now I know what to fix when I get home! because the cell grabbing happens in another thread it can not directly change items on the gui thread! will fix this asap
Looks like a great utility.
Question : All it does is switch on the wifi? One still has to go through the login (for security enabled wifi) or other access means as defined at the particular hotspot ??
Btw, here is the site of a PC program that behaves more or less similarly. Perhaps useful for ideas ???
http://wifihopper.com/
Thanks
I think you're not getting the point of my application, it uses your Cell-position to activate your wifi. So you save battery and your voip protocol can be activated whenever you get to your home(or other)-cell... The wifi-profiles can be created through any wireless profile manager!

This should be solved now...
Nice app...I have a request that although probably not used by alot of folks it seems like a simple enhancement in "concept"....can you add the option to enable/disable BLUETOOTH instead of wifi based on location? I tether my phone to my house alot and use it as the internet feed...it would be nice if when I got to the home location it auto linked up with the pc and gave it internet without me having to think about it..the process seems the same. Am I off base?
Hmm upon further study it's not that simple...I'd also need to still run the internet sharing app...so perhaps not so simple.
@famewolf, I'll take a look at it. Never worked with bluetooth before, but I don't think it's much work.
I just created the application for personal use, because I tend to use voip a lot. I posted it here so so everybody could use it if they want to.
About the feature you request, you want bluetooth to be activated or does it need more functionality?
Well after thinking on it more it would take more than just activating bluetooth...would also need to be able to run a program when bluetooth was enabled so I'll just be thankful for what you provided. Your program will come in very handy when visiting my relatives...the cell reception in their house is crappy and I always end up enabling wifi and logging onto their router when in house to get email etc....will use your program to auto enable it.
Of use to people who "dabble" in voip....you can use fring and grandcentral to get a "free incoming" phone # that uses voip...and the new idialer allows grandcentral out calls as well....this would potentially works well with these apps...hmmm perhaps you SHOULD consider allowing the user to execute an app when wifi comes up or down so they can run whatever sip client they are using?
@famewolf, I think what you mention can be very interesting. I know that starting another app isn't a big problem. Working on the hiding of the form and autostarting now. Will add the functionality to start an app lateron.
Download new version, now includes working start-at-boot-mode and auto hiding the form. I want to change the complete set-up because it wasn't designed properly.... some other time.
I downloaded the current version; on my Sprint Touch Pro, it doesn't seem to see cell ids although it does seem able to turn on/off the wifi successfully.
good program. looks like the makings to the 'locale' program for android. If you added some volume profiles that would automatically switch you would be set. It would be nice to have my phone mute itself when i got to work and turn the volume back on when i left for home.
This program ist simply brilliant. If have been looking for something like this for a long time and programs like this one are the reason, I never got an Iphone.
One question though: your program seems to keep the Wifi connection alive all the time. Is it possible to add an option to have it running in powersave mode (i. e. power down in suspend mode)?
EDIT: Sorry to bother you. The behavior of the wifi energy save features has nothing to with your neat program. For some reason my wifi was hanging. It seems, I still have to get accustomed to my Touch HD (or the firmware bugs).
@twcook, I think that's because you're not on a gsm/umts network, I really don't have a clue how to solve that yet. I'll put it on the todolist. If anyone has information on how to get other that gsm/umts-cells let me know.
@nmeister, good one, put that on the todolist as well. But I won't be working on it a lot this weekend, got other plans.
tnx man, the program is perfectly working on tytn ii, its amazing. never need to touch comm manager for wifi...
I never used GPS much as I was pretty happy with the Google's location service. But I have read a lot about people facing issues with GPS on Canvas HD and thought, Why not give it a try! So here is the solution
The issue first
1. I keep waiting and waiting, but it shows "Searching for GPS"
2. What do do now?
Here are the steps:
a. Go to settings
b. Under settings, go to Location access
c. Under location access, see if 'GPS sattelites' - The option is checked
d. Click on 'GPS Satellites'
e. You will see something like this
f. If 'GPS EPO assistance' is unchecked, Check it.

Hi Verma... Make sure that you are in an open area and have a pretty good internet service. You might have to wait for some time to get it started initially...

Just tried it again I was outside for like 30 minutes and it was continuously searching for GPS.
Note : I have a 3G connection and I tried it with wifi too at home..
Same issue here as well
It Worked!!!
Hey man!! It worked!!! At first I got hopeless when it didn't work for me but somehow a couple of days ago I tried it again and it took a while but eventually got my location and since then its working great for me!!! I use it all the time and its just great.. Although I'm not sure how much data it uses to pin point my location if you could find out or tell me how much more data it uses when we turn a gps and GPS EPO on. Thanks bud cheers! :victory:
Ty atlast worked
Sent from my Micromax A116 using xda premium
Good to know it has worked for a few of you!
just little settings can resolve this...thnx.... i think thats a bug of its stock rom..but now i happy to fix this for just a single click...good work..thnx
@techpick
I am on StarkHD 3.5. GPS was ok and was fixing fine at some extent. Sometimes slow. But after this setting, even I got bit fast gps lock. Even indoors some sattelites were seen, but not locked. It was not possible before. I get full lock near window now.
Thanks a lot pal.
PS: Lolz! You blocked your area in Google Map screenshot, but hey you forgot to block your co-ordinates and that reveals your exact location. he he

I'm on Naturewiz HD and facing problem with GPS. Used GPS Status tool. It did something, but still there was no GPS lock. After that I just went to my balcony (from where sky is visible) and got a GPS lock almost instantaneously.
a doubt
Don't know if I should even post it here.. but since we're talking about GPS and stuff.. I am currently using Google maps and I want to set my home location on of so I can instantly use it whenever I want. However, when I turn my GPS on and set my current location as home, it takes the address of that place and fill it out for me and when looking at that address on map its nowhere near my home so I starred the exact location of my home on map but I don't know how to set it as home. Has anybody faced this issue? I have a feeling if I can get that starred location's latitude position I'll be able to set it as my home and it will be accurate.. am I wrong?
Please if anybody has faced this issue or knows a workaround that guide me. Thanks coz I really wanna use that feature as I travel a lot.

Yes, you are right, you should not post it here. Go in help and troubleshooting section. You problem is about location application and not gps fix. Help everyone to save their valuable time. :silly:
Works for cavas fun a74
Its works for my canvas fun a74. Locks in about 30-45 seconds. Checkout the screenshot
Thanks..Finally, it works.!!

Under [Subscrptions], there is <t-mobile.com> which will Auto Connect after you reboot your phone.
Unfortunately, it will re-install itself after you reboot your phone even you perform "Forget" or "Delete" it. ( yes, I have PM uninstall all T-mobile packages already )
Anyone know how to delete it or what it is?

1. "T-mobile.com" is wifi subscription.
2. I do not have wifi subscription via T-mobile.
3. My other phone, Samsung a32 will not auto install this subscription under my Saved Wifi.
4. Even if I disconect this subscription, my phone still works without issue as well as Wifi.
5. I do not wish to have it auto-connected after reboot.
Can you provie solution instead throw me more questions?

This is not related to Wi-Fi in any way. Notice how it simply says "Saved networks", then below "t-mobile.com", it has "Wi-Fi Networks". This implies, as far as I'm aware, that it is not Wi-Fi, but rather your cellular data subscription from T-Mobile.

so you don't have the real answer to my question.
It could just be hard coded into the tmobile branded phones to give you access to tmobile hotspots.

This could be it.
However, I also have T-mobile branded Samsung A32 5g but it does not re-install "t-mobile.com" under [Saved networks] menu after I delete it. That's why I like to know if I can prevent auto-install after I delete it.
FYI, I have already PM uninstalled all tmo packages.
I want to say many phones ago I had a similar issue with a package that happened on one phone and not another. What I remember of it was the AOKP guys went digging into it and they found that on the tmobile branded version of that phone in the original rom it was buried deep enough it couldn't be turned off. I am not sure if it was the same package but I do recall it had something to do with their wifi networks.

This makes sense. Glad you could clear this up, I was also curious.
I wouldn't swear it's cleared up lol. Like I said I could be wrong, I just remember it was a package that the AOKP guys went looking for in the stock rom for the phone (Motorola cliq or cliq2 maybe) and that it was something to do with the wifi but it was harmless just gave you access to their instore wifi stuff. I'll leave the clearing up to people much smarter than me......

Yeah I see what you mean. I'll still leave this as a possible theory until it's 100% confirmed.
I have a very odd issue, if I connect to wifi, I can search the internet just fine but I cannot make phone calls or get text messages. Sometimes the texts will go through and other times it gives an error. I went through all of the network settings but cannot find the culprit, does any one know what I am missing???
Thanks

I'm having issues with calls being dropped and messages not being sent when on Wi-Fi. Changing wifi calling preference does nothing. Turning wifi calling off does nothing. I turn wifi off and calls and messages are fine. Doesn't happen all of the time though. So not sure what's going on.

Did you disable Mobile Data Always Active under Developer Options?
Though I'm not sure that would be the culprit as I have it disabled, but don't suffer the problems you're experiencing. So I guess this wasn't really helpful. I apologize.
Or maybe you should? And perhaps that will fix it? If it doesn't then I apologize again.

It is enabled but I will disable it and see if that helps any.

I disabled it and it seemed to work. I will let you know if it keeps working. Thanks a lot chief.

That is pretty odd.
Been having connection issues since day 1. Changing different settings has worked for periods of time but nothing seems permanent. I have to cycle airplane mode to fix it every time to fix.
Was reading up on other sites and this is wide spread enough to find posts about it all over. Haven't seen anything to pinpoint why it happens or who is effected. Best I've found is that it may have something to do with when the phone switches to 5gUC and then off. But mine switches on and off of that relatively often and it doesn't do it every time. Though it does seem to do it if I'm on Wi-Fi and it's flipping to a good 5G signal to a not good one. So maybe it's when both radios are active.
Oh and I'm on TMobile, Swapped from Sprint sim.
Oh one more theory... I keep seeing messages from Sprint / T-Mobile about switching to the T-Mobile network. But I am currently using a T-Mobile SIN. These aren't generic messages. Messages they're geared directly to specific lines on my account, including . Now I don't know if somehow I could be on a T-Mobile SIM and still on the Sprint network, because that goes against a lot of stuff. Stuff I know regarding how the networks are being operated but I am a little out of the loop so I guess it could just be roaming back and forth or something And they had set something up at the tower so that you don't even see it do such. But anyway, if this weird theory were true, maybe that's the only people that it's affecting.
I'm sure that you set the default APN to Tmobile, right? My coworker was using a sprint sim and after getting another sim from Tmobile, her phone works fine. Of course, she doesn't have a pixel 6 so it could be something with the device. I love my P6 but there are some quirks. About to try this ArmorSuit skin screen protector later today as the hard ones do not register fingerprints.
Yep, unfortunately all apns are set correctly (or as far as I know). I have both the TMobile and TMobile mms apns that auto generated with the activation.
T-Mobile 5Guc Is actually crazy fast I get really good download speeds and actually mine upload too it's way different from 4G to me just look at my results

Sounds then like its using VOLTE and the inactive data is not properly selective.
Actually the issue came back so I just turn off wifi.
