Hello everyone,
I have a HTC Touch Pro since october 2008 but are still unable to use the gps with google maps.
Google maps is preinstalled on my device but can never use the gps to locate my position.
Now I heart something about unlocking your gps of you htc touch pro before you can use your gps in google maps.
This is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490400
I don't know if this is suitable for my HTC Touch Pro too.
I hope somone can help me.
Thanks a lot!

what rom are you running right now? Assuming you're using a GSM phone, I doubt verizon's method would work for you. Try flashing a new rom.
Rom version: 5.05.404.1 NLD
There is no newer rom version.
I bought my HTC Touch Pro without a carrier, so my HTC Touch Pro is unlocked.
But I can't use my GPS with applications as Google Maps as long as my GPS is locked.
But I don't know if I can use the fix which is discribed in the link I placed.
In GoogleMaps: Menu > Use satellite...
and wait for a fix... (could last up to 4-5mn depending on reception conditions)
But before, check in GoogleMaps options that you have let Windows to handle (integrated) GPS.
Yea it sounds ass backwards, but what he said is true. If your turning it on hitting gps and you get nothing,, thats about right. Wait a bit and see what happens. I use my phone for geocaching almost daily, and am running the stock att rom. My gps works perfectly besides the fact that it takes around 30 secs to lock. However trying to run (most) third party apps WITHOUT googlemaps running first. It will just sit there all day and never get gps. (depends what program were talking about but most will never get lock until google maps is running)
what radio are you on?
Also, I had a terrible time getting a GPS lock with Google Maps on my unbranded Touch Pro.
Recently I downloaded the latest version from www.google.co.up/gmm (think that's right enter it into your Opera browser) and it has improved tremendously. No GPS locks a lot faster - less than 30 seconds, whilst previously it would take minutes or not at all.
Try downloading a newer version and see how that helps.
Thanks!
All of you!
I download a new version of Google Maps and installed it.
After that I set all the properties the same as I had under Start>Settings>System>GPS.
And after about 20 seconds I had a fix and it worked.
(and this was in house)
Now just at the street I get a fix in about 5 seconds and I have a log of zero until one.
So thanks all!
Hey guys,
I've installed µTrack on a motorola MC75 using windows mobile 6.0 and I'm getting the incorrect long/lat from µTrack.
I also installed google maps on the device and it seems to work fine reporting the coordinates.
So I was wondering if there is a way to fix the issue with µTrack to get the right coordiantes.
The coordinates I should be getting are 49.83 lat and -99.95 for long
the oordinates I am getting are 89.622 lat and -157.69 long
any help is appreciated

I am using Fim on the HTC HD2, it has been working fine for past couple weeks from when I downloaded it, but since yesterday it is not allowing me to sign it. it keeps saying "Problem getting facebook login page. Please make sure you have access to facebook.com in this network." . I dont get where the problem is because I haven't change any of my network settings, if anybody has a solution it would be much appreciated! .. I am running windows 6.5 if that helps.
I'm having an issue too, it signs in but then is just stays at 'fetching friends'.
hey i got the same problem with fim (connection failed)
i fixed it by doing this
go to your facebook from computer and open profile settinges then security then disable (login notification)
then fim should work perfectly
Hello,
Can't post on developer forum since I am rookie and system doesn't allow me to post there, so I have to post it here.
I installed AVD 4.1.2 on my Zperia J (JLO) one week ago and took it for a spin for the past 7 days. However I found a few issues that do bug me and don't seem acceptable for a ROM that is so well reviewed.
I believe there is something wrong with my configuration so, please help me in case this is a mistake on my side:
1) GPS can't track... keeps looking and looking but can't fixate satelites.
2) GPS icon on notification bar, while tracking, keeping alternating with Bluetooth icon..
3) Google maps dont open if GPS is not finished with tracking.. Since I cant get it to track satelites, the only way to open google maps is to turn off GPS
4) Keyboard is missing the closing parantesis ")", so no smiles for anyone.. only frowns
5) Cannot turn off data comunication on shortcut from notification panel
6) Doesn't sinc my mail "with the native android app", despite being set in the application settings to sinc every 5 minutes
Is it me doing anything wrong or are these known issues of the ROM?
If these are known issues I'll have to roll back.. I do need the GPS very much....
Thanks
Hello, everyone,
i have the chinese version of the device and i cannot turn on the google location history. Everything else is ok i have gps on all location services are also set and maps is not in power save mode. Does anyone have the same problem or a tip?
Hey! Unfortunately I have the same issue and it looks there is no way to fix it. Looks like a lock for the Chinese version?
