Some problems i have encounted using Touch Pro

1: GPS problem
I'm using a GPS program named MapKing, whenever i open the program and try to on the GPS , it will state "GPS open failed, switch to navigtor mode?"
I don't know how to solve this problem and i am hoping that someone can aid with me this.
2: Web pages
I am using a wireless connection in my school with is hidden, no security. I can access to windows live, my school's webpage, however i cannot access to other webpages like www.google.com , www.youtube.com etc
I have tried going to those sites with activesync with my laptop using the internet connection and using GPRS, and i can enter those webpages. Is there anything i need to change/edit to enter those webpages? I am sure the school didn't block of other webpages because i tried using my friend's ppc(WM5) to go in and it worked.

Internal GPS
Check that it is using the right COM port. For me its COM4 on my Sprint unit which works ok with Tom Tom. Also make sure that you have used the Quick GPS settings to download the latest "assist" data to speed up the GPS location "fix". Another thing is that the GPS unit might not get powered on unless in use, so the first time you use it it might take some time to "power-up."
If it still doesn't work, have you tried Google Maps? It works great for on-the-fly GPS mapping (although it needs to download the data and only works with good cell data coverage).
Good luck!

[Q] Google maps question.

For some odd reason my location can never be found. In latitude I have set it manually,as well as automatically using settings and it throws the same error each time. I am running the latest version of maps, so I know it can pull my location from wifi.
Is there a setting I missed somewhere else in the system? It stuck at 1 point but the first time I tried directions, it lost my location on the map.
Any input? is it a bug or just not working w/o GPS?
any help would be appreciated.

The WiFi location doesn't work for some reason -- so GMaps wants to default back to GPS (which the GTablet doesn't have)
Download "Location Spoofer v1.7" or "My Fake Location" from the Market (sometimes they don't show up -- but I posted the APK for Location Spoofer 1.7 in another thread about Google Maps so grab it there if you need it)

I did manage to get my location locked by using latitude from the PC, using IP location look-up. Now my location shows up on maps on the G-tab but still when I click nearest places, (gas, ATM) etc it still throws location not found.
Gonna try location spoofer now.

Ok seems like this issue is gonna go on the back burner for a while. Even running location spoofer, it still gives the message "location temporarily unavailable.
Or...it just be a plain simple issue that Montana is falling behind the times and is on Googles (we'll get around to fixing it) schedule.
It's not that I don't know where everything is in town. it would just be nice to have a functioning tool to show off.

[Q] No GPS signal on Navigon Select app on HTC HD7

Hi Guys,
I have installed Navigon Select on my HTC HD7 as explained in "Navigon Select GPS Navigation for WP7" but for some strange reason I am not able to see my current location, when I navigate to in the application I go to "GPS Info" it always says 0.0 and 0.0
My GPS location in turned on in the settings.
I get a pop-up message when i lunch the application that "Mobile Navigator" uses GPS data to locagte your position.
I thought that my gps might be broken but no... on the bing maps it shows exact location based on the GPS not on the mobile network signal.
I also tried "TA Maps" google maps and it shows location correctly...
I have reinstalled the navigon app but i got same results...
any help would be much appreciated,
ps. i wasn't able to replay to the post "Navigon Select GPS Navigation for WP7" because its my first post.

resolved
problem resolved...
For anybody else who might have the same problem:
I got my gps on navigon working after uninstalling some of the apps which were also using GPS it seemed for me like there is a limit of how many apps can use GPS signal. I must admit I had about 20.

can someone help me ?

according to your screenshots, you don't have any data connection available. Network location needs data connection to determine your location, as far as I know... try to check if you are able to access internet on your phone (check you APNs).

The fake location apps don't work (rooted device)

I have a rooted android device and have tried some fake location apps (non-root and root required). They work for Google Maps, it shows the location i choose. But for the other apps like connected2me and Tinder they don't work.
I tried to make the location setting as "device only" etc. but still don't work.
I started to think why it doesn't work and maybe it s because of this:

It says "Your device will need to use Wi-Fi and cell networks". As I understand, even though I choose a fake location, these kind of apps get the information from wifi provider, and that's the reason why it doesn't work.
Am I right?
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Edit: I just noticed something else. Unlike Tinder, connected2me doesn't want to use wifi and cell networks to find location. But it also doesn't show up in the location settings under "recent location requests" unlike the other apps. How does this app know my location without accessing my location lol

+1 i would like to find a trick. Normally when you are rooted you can do whatever you like with your phone even spoofing data to every app. So i'm sure there is a trick to do it. Anyway your post gives some nice clues to find the trick. I hope someone will share it here.
