What patch?

This thread does not have anything to do with a patch. Either you're in the wrong place, or using the wrong terminology to describe your problem.

Either way, need way more information than you have provided. How about carrier, version of WebOS, what exactly you're trying to do, what exactly the problem is, any errors your getting, etc.

he could mean the USB pass through patch -- but a little clearification would be nice

Hey Guys, I know it's been a while since anyone's posted in this thread. I recently purchased an AT&T Pre Plus and unlocked it--I'm using it with T-Mobile now. My GPS performance is spotty at best, and this is one of the primary reasons I love smartphones--the ability to get directions regardless of where I am on the road.

What should I be looking at to get GPS and/or aGPS working on my phone if it's using a T-mobile SIM card and the t-mobile network? Do I need to somehow change which network it's asking for coordinates? Can I still activate standalone GPS? How should I accomplish either or both of those things?

Read the first post. There are clear instructions for getting this working with GSM phones.

[swieder]

Been a while since I checked into this thread. Wonderful to see that there is procedure for GSM phones. I have a Pre+ on ATT and use GPS all the time. I am going to mod my Pre now. Be back after the change to report my results.

thanks,
Scott

Ebag333, those battery draining problems some people are experiencing. Couldn't these be caused by leaving DIAG mode enabled? When using GAK Asterman diag drivers to unlock GSM Pres, users experience a battery drain when they forget to disable DIAG mode once they're done.

That's a distinct possibility.

[Ebag333]

Ebag33, the GAK Asterman drivers that are included in the Nextgen unlock client can be used as well. GSM users who have already unlocked their phone using this unlock client could save themselves the trouble of uninstalling/reinstalling the different DIAG drivers.

Where do you get these drivers from?

Did the drivers allow you to use QPST instead of having to use QXDM?

since vzw is rolling 1.4.5 today, i'm going back to stock before it hits...just for ch*ts and giggles....

[revnomad]

Now for something less arcane but more frustrating to a common user:

Why does my Palm Pre Plus (Verizion) report my location as latitude 42.497 longitude -98.072 (Farmington MN) when my actual location is Lat: 42.471733, Lng: -97.884899 (Creighton NE)?

More importantly how do I fix it, assuming "I" can.

Yes, i am sorry. I did mean the USB pass through patch. I can't install it like the instructions say. it's just a file my computer can't notice.

This is probably due to the new update, nothing to do with the patches themselves. There are instructions earlier in the thread on how to fix this, look back a page or two.

The GAK Asterman drivers are included in the unlock client for GSM Pres developed by JIC Technology and sold by Nextgenserver.

Is used the procedure for GSM is as per your OP, using QXDM; 5 minutes work.
I haven't checked if the gpsOne tab shows for GSM devices, using these other DIAG drivers.
Good point. Will check that now.

Ebag33, using the GAK Asterman drivers, there's no gpsOne tab in QPST either.

Good info. I'll add it to the first post.

[Ebag333]

Alternatively, this could also mean beezlewaxin's drivers can be used when unlocking your Pre.

Most likely. They probably do the exact same thing.

I have an unlocked ATT palm pre plus on bell and when i do the ##GPS# i get this error "USSD request failed. Network Failure."

nvm figured it out got to wait for the patch to be updated to 1.4.5

just tried this on my sprint Pre works great thanks

just tried this on my sprint Pre works great thanks

did the same and I thought it was working fine but now I'm without sprint service and can't seem to get a gps fix for some reason. I guess I'll have to try it again and see what might be wrong. Any idea what it might be? What am I missing.
I tried arplain mode with gps only enabled and just tirning off phone and data services one by one and still the same issue.

Where do you type in the ##GPS#?

Did you try restarting your phone? When I wrote the setting in my phone I noticed all my radio restarted so a restart should fix it. If not then you might have changed another setting in QPST that you should not have, because changing GPS setting should not have affected your other radios.

You type it in the phone dialer app. But you dont need to this just launcher your default GPS app. You can just Open Sprint Nav normally and test it out.

[60RH]

Multiple times and as I said it was working fine initially but now I seem to have issues. I'm in Europe currently and I never started Sprint Nav but used Navit and bunch of other gps enabled apps and all seems to report same thing. Just tried the ##GPS# from the dailer and got a fix in airplane mode with gps enabled but it reports that the accuracy is poor... i.e. I got only lat, long and horizontal Accuracy= 25 all the other values are 0s - I have the GPS Diagnostic Additional Information installed. Anyway it seems that after I got the fix next try was a failure again. Guess need to test some more but for sure gps fixes are very slow even with avaialbe wifi in range(and connected to it).
The funny thing is that when it gets a fix with the poor accuracy the long and lat is in USA and I'm currently in Europe. If that's gps caching locations it's a really bad thing to cache.

i can't seem to get qpst to see my phone. verizon pre plus with beezl pre diag and beezl pre "unused port" drivers installed. running 32 bit windows 7
