ok so about 6 months ago i find a website, not here, it was just a small website and some guy had a fix for the standby issue for touch pro2 I did not have it then so i let it go but now i can't find it. I was hoping someone knows what im talking about. Thanks
Hello,
I think the site you are looking for is this one
http://www.madhacker.org/HTCTouchPro2.htm
Hope this helps
that is it. Thanks.
I should note that i tried this app and it does not work for tomtom but i think it works for google maps. try for your self and report back.
Thanks I will try it also with some other applications.
It works brilliantly with memory map, but not with copilot.
I'll attach the cab. First thing i noticed was an almost instant GPS fix where before it would take up to two mins for a fix if I got one at all.
And of coarse Voice Search is now supported
I also downloaded the satellites before running it the first time enjoy.....

This has been out for a week already...
I just put it in last night. Does this thing have turn by turn directions. I tried it out and it didnt say anything and I purposely took a wrong turn and it didnt reroute or tell me I was lost...I thought it would be like the google maps for droid. Am I just using it wrong? thankx for any help.
iirc the navigation facility is not available on winmo only android at this point

As said above this is not the google maps navigation which is a beta release for android right now. Its not available for windows mobile
Just wanna share with u guys regard my finding on how temporary fix the GPS issue. Just follow the step below:
1) Install the GPS test app from market.
2)Open the GPS test app and let it search for the GPS signal and locked it. (this step take few minutes.)
3) after get locked on the GPS test app and open the google maps. you now should be able to get GPS lock in few second and enjoy ur navigation.
my testing rom detail as below:
Sombionix nero beta3 rom
Baseband version: JL1
kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Hope this can help u guys and kindly share ur find out too with diff rom u have by the method I given.
Thanks.
Before anything, thank you very much for sharing with us.
But is this any different than actually waiting to get a lock on Maps? I mean if the GPS test takes "a few minutes" why not just wait for Maps to get a lock instead? I just want to clarify things.

Based on my find out, if just open the maps, it will nvr get locked. while using GPS test app, although still take few minutes but at least can locked the signal.
Running Axura 2.1 and my GPS never works. Attempted your method and no avail.
This method works for me, may be its just placebo effect, but still thanks a lot.

you could have got a lock with lbstestmode(*#*#3214789650#*#*) and then opened maps.
Funny thing is I was using nero 1,2,3 and the obsidian ROMs till now..but I just installed Master's latest AXURA 2.2.5.8. I flashed directly from nero 3 to axura 2.2.5.8 via rom manager without odining back to stock or anything..and magically my GPS locks now in 5-10 seconds.

My gps NEVER worked until I installed Axura 2.1 AND the JL1 baseband.
since then my gps works flawlessly.
it takes about 1-2 minutes to get a lock but then it works perfectly.
try flashing the baseband since AXURA 2.1 comes with JK6 if i'm not mistaken.
do you axura 2.2.1 source? what base is using? I do want to try also...
I don't mean to troll, but this isn't really a "fix," all it does is "prime" Google Maps/Nav so Google Maps/Nav won't give up if it can't find a lock in a set period of time.
There are 3 real "fixes" that exist:
1) Flashing to a newer modem (JL series, take your pick)
2) The hardware fix posted in General from plato which involves improving the contact on the GPS antenna
3) The software fix from the Captivate forums from Da_G that involves changing the jupiter.xml settings for a) removing post-processing and b) using "true" AGPS settings optimized for your network
There are "mini-fixes" that help improve GPS performance (changing SUPL server to supl.google.com:7276, disabling WiFi antenna to reduce EFI), but again these are not true fixes.
Aside from the 3 fixes above, the rest are really just beating a very dead horse.

It's here but I recommend reading the entire thread before attempting to make the correct decision.

I dont think its a placebo effect. My GPS was dead until I performed the hardware fix early last week. But even then GM didnt seem to want to lock until I got lock in GPS test first. Someone posted about it in the hardware fix thread. We may have found the hardware problem but apparently there is still a software problem . No matter... Ill take running GPS Test first over no GPS at all.
This method works. I posted about it in General about 2 weeks ago to see if anyone wants to test it but I didnt get any response.
Yes GPS test locks quickly with the JLX modems on the different roms. 8/9 birds within 20 meters in about 20 seconds..blah blah blah. But how many of you actually try to use it during navigation. It works for a while then goes nuts and thinks you are on a street 200 yards away. Sometimes it corrects itself, sometimes it doesnt. Either way it is not reliable.
If you run GPS test and get a good lock then switch over to Navigation. Set your destination. Look back to GPS test to make sure it is still lock then drive. You do not get the jumping around effect. Been doing this constantly for almost a month now without that jumping effect. The key is to make sure GPS test is locked on in the first place. It keeps Navigation from losing that lock and jumping around.
One thing, there are two GPS Tests. Both are nice apps, but for the best lock use the one developed by Mike Lockwood. Open it, start it, and when it locks simply go back home and select Google Maps.
The best true fix is the hardware one. Whatever you do with software is just improvements.

yup. been doing this method for quite a while now.
For me what works and give me a quick lock is going to the GpsRestore Application by Samsung let it restore settings. i don't wait for it to get a lock. I switch to Gpstest application and get a fix very fast most of the time. After that any application that use gps will lock fast.
Hope this helps!
Wow! I can't believe so many people are still spinning their wheels on GPS when a definitive thread which fixes it has been sticked for so long. Especially after someone posted a link to the thread with the fix in this thread.
Heck, the link to the GPS fix was even covered on TalkAndroid in the news section a while ago.

Check my Sig - line two, click it.
so as many of us here i had the gps problem, and i started to not care anymore. The other day after i flashed Trigger 3.2, i also flashed some useful apps like SGS tool, spare parts etc. As i was going over those apps, i went to SGS tools, and noticed GPS fix all the way at the bottom. I decided to give it a try but didnt think it would work. I clicked and then select north-america.... and apply.
And surprisingly my GPS has been working perfectly fine since then.
So those of you who still have gps problem, try that
Hope this help

This has been posted before, it works for some people and it doesn't for others. Just like every other GPS fix out there. Not trying to be rude and I'm sure everyone appreciates you trying to help, but duplicate threads just create clutter. Once again I am not trying to be rude so please do not take it that way.
flashing the S.gps is the easiest way as I know
This is kind of random, but did anyone notice that the latest Kies update fixes/helps GPS?
With KA6, I have to manually set GPS mode to MS-Based and change the supl settings before I get a quick lock. With KB5, it works very well right out of the box. No configuration needed.
ooooohhhh

Which rom and version? If stock how is your bootloader status?
Same here. GPS doesn't work at all with GPS status app, or when using device only, but it does work in Google maps, just with poor accuracy. Tried installing LOS and it didn't fix it. Installed Franco kernel again but that didn't help either. Guess I'll go back to OOS and maybe that will fix it? Otherwise I'm stumped.
