QuickGPS & Location setting error. - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Randomly when I update QuickGPS I get an error:
"Data Activation Failed:
Location setting must be on so that the latest satellite data can be used to speed up GPS positioning"
I'm on a T-Mobile USA Touch Pro 2.
If I restart my device, I can update QuickGPS without error. But once I get this error, I always do until I restart my device. Its like the "location setting" just dissapeared. Anyone have a similar issue or know of a fix?

I'm having same problem.
I've try to update the QuickGPS and it tells me I need to set location to on but I can not find it anywhere. It suppose to be at Start, Settings, Phone, Services then I should be able to see locations but I don't see it.
It's missing and I hate to call customer's services and run into someone who reads out of manuals.
Any takers?
TIA.

Anyone have any ideas?

same prob
I see that my location is set to on, but wont update regardless of soft reset. just updated to europe wwe 6.5 from htc site. didnt have prob with 6.1 stock from tmo usa

I have the same problem with the stock rom from sprint. it will say i need to turn on location setting, but when i look, it's already on. also, if i try to turn off location setting, it stays on. when i look again, after selecting off, ok, etc., the location setting says on again. soft reset is the only thing that fixes it.
after soft reset, i quickgps, then run garmin and it works fine. after i turn off garmin and don't use it for awhile, then i can't get a fix and i get the location setting error when trying to run quickgps.
any ideas?

I'm using HTC Topaz with official WM6.5. I've found that this problem happens after installing WM6VoIP.cab (it's necessary for enabling SIP). Btw not only QuickGPS fails with update, GPS completely stops working.
Removing of "Sleuth's WM6VoIP" through "Add\remove programs:" doesn't work - only Hard reset helps.

Problems when connecting to my WLAN Network...

Hi,
I am kind of new here and I allso did a search on this forum for my problems but I did not find anything about it...
Here is my problem:
When I try to enable Wireless trough START---> SETTINGS ---> CONNECTIONS--->WLAN
I see the checkbox "Wireless LAN ON"
When I check that ...the MDA starts thinking ...and it returnes to the previous screen ...
When I go back and klik on the WLAN icon again I see that it has disables itself again...
How is this possible?
Thanks for the answers...
Here is MY DEVICE INFORMATION:
ROM VERSION = 1.06.00 ENG
ROM DATE = 08/05/04
RADIO VERSION = 1.00.00
PROTOCOL VERSION 1337.30
ExtROM VERSION = 1.06.118 WWE
Is this new or old?
Thanks,
I will try to help but I am sure someone will be able to help more.
If you click on your WIFI connections, on my MDA 3 it is on the bottom right of the today screen, or by going Start>Settings>Connections>WLAN it will bring the WLAN window up.
On here you can click to turn the WLAN on as you said however at the bottom their is a tab for settigns if you click on here it will bring up about your battery life and below that to turn WLAN off automatically.
Mine was already on by default and I had this problem until I noticed this so you may to check this and turn this off.
Hope this helps.
I have CE ROM 1.33.10 with Radio 1.06.02 on my PDA2K and have to admit that I get the same issue when trying to "hot-switch" sometimes. To resolve it, I attempt a switch to WLAN, and when it doesn't work, I perform a soft reset. At bootup, it remembers that I wanted to establish a Wi-Fi connection and automatically connects from there.
So, it's not really a "hot switch" but a "reboot" into the correct configuration. Hope that helps.
Similar problems...sure would like a solution
When I want to connect to WLAN I check the box, close the app and wait. Unfortunately it often does not connect. When I reopen the app the "Wireless LAN ON" check box is automatically removed! Repeating this does not solve the problem. It seems the only way to get it to work is a soft reset which fixes things - ugh. I do keep the check box "Auto turn off WLAN if not connected" checked which does not seem like it should interfere.

Settings could not be opened

Hello
I let my wife use my phone last night and now (may just be coincidence) whenever i try to access just about anything under settings I get an error saying setting could not be opened.
Any ideas?
Thanks
edit
I am running the tmobile wm6 upgrade
I have gotten this a few times, you will have to reset your Dash and then resync it with activesync.
reset
how do i reset the dash
Go under start, and in the applications folder there is something that says clear storage, click on that
just so you know that will completely wipe out anything you have on your phone. i would try everything else first.
The only other thing to try is to turn off and turn the phone back off. I called TMO support on this, that is what they had me do.

Many problems after a Manilla2D/GPS job

Last night I installed Manilla2D, then the GPS - all worked excellent (didn't get satellites, but didn't go outside - beside the point), until I tinkered with the weather XML file and installed the rest of the files for M2D in the "Not necessary but recommended" folder. Having installed so much at once, I am not sure what caused this problem.
Problem: certain events aren't happening - weather module used to work with any city in the default list - now, clicking a city just brings me back to the screen that says "select a city", and the unresponsiveness continues to other programs. So I began uninstalling a couple that I thought may be the culprit, and now on startup, I get a "tap here to launch touchFlo". After tapping, it says launching, then it goes back to "Tap here to launch touchFlo...".
At this point, what do I do? So far I haven't done anything but install CAB files. Is there some way to just restore this to whatever state (even factory defaults, etc)?
you can go into settings and click on clear storage to reset everything. Keep in mind you will lose all personal data including contacts, so back every thing up.
You could also try going to settings then remove programs and start uninstalling programs one at a time untill you find the culprit.
Which update did you install? The latest is update 20, but update 21 is an elfin update so that's the one I picked. (The Elfin is a t least related to the vogue, update 20 is meant for ALL htc devices)
Another thing, what did you mean by "then gps"?
The proper order would be to have an upgraded radio first, then install M2D
The only known fool proof way to completely remove M2D itself is a hard reset. While this is true for M2D itself, you can try selectivley unloading the "extras" starting with the last and testing one by one.
BTW, a hard reset is done by holding the power and camera buttons down together while pressing the soft rest button.

HSUPA cab wont instal!

I had the speed fix instaled but i did a factory reset to to clear up space and just instaled the thing I really use and now i cant unlock the HSUPA feature in advance network any sugestions
hmmm...well id say uninstall the cab. soft reset to make sure its cleared out. then if i remember correct, install the data fix cab again. dont restart right then when it asks. cancel it. then go to start menu. settings. advanced connections. then make sure to select the one that says HSPDA/HSUPA enabled. meaning both are enabled. after u do that, then soft reset it. once your phone boots back up, you should see the big H symbol next to your 3g one or whatever one you have. It worked like a charm for me. no problems. the H stays enabled on mines. Just make sure to do it exactly like that or its not probaly registering right or something or saving the changes. hope this helps you. let us know. i have the data fix, sd card tune up, no push internet, and dynamic proxy cabs installed. along with all bloatware deleted from phone. So my phone is wayyyyyy faster and smoother than b4. also added a ton more free ram available on startup, idle, and normal/heavy use. i also got drivers but going off subject..lol good luck
What is the latest version i've dowloaded jh2001's tilt2 data speed fix 1.0
when I open to install it says it is unsuccesfull
hmm..i just checked..i have the same version as you, the 1.0. you just have to make sure to install it in those steps i listed in previous post. Unless u have some custom rom or something and its not registering right. ok quick version. make sure its uninstalled. we starting over..lol Then install it directly to your device memory if the option comes up to do so. Then itll probaly say that u need to soft reset for changes to take effect. press cancel. you dont want to soft reset yet. then go to start menu, then settings, then advanced. You should see that it changed up from b4. You need to select the one that has both hspda/hsupa. make sure its selected. then go back out to main or home screen and soft reset. once your phone boots back up, you should see the H SYMBOl up top of your phone. you can also go to to your settings again . and go to advanced and make sure that it says hspda/hsupa. dont change anything else in there unless you know what you doing. might change something up. it should work wit no probs though. let me know if that still didnt work. theres nothing wrong with the cab. or just download it again, meaning a new one, and do those steps listed. enjoy your weekend.

Clearing Storage will reset your phone to the factory (default) settings of your current ROM. Is an error message appearing when you try to install or is nothing happening?
I did went and clean the storage but When I try to install the cab it instantly says
"Installation of jh2001 tilt2 data speed kix 1.0 cab was`unsuccessful"
i really don't understand as i mentioned before it was working fine two week ago
Well just did a hard reset an erase the storage but still can't reinstall the speed fix!
Is there any other way or another cab to install?
Anybody reporting the same problem?
ok, you don't need the speed fix for HSPDA/HSUPA support. Download and install Julian Schapps advanced configuration program, you will also need to download and install .net ver 3.5 (get it from microsoft). Install and soft reset. Start adv config, scroll down to data connections and enable HSUPA support, soft reset. Then open settings, advanced network settings and then scroll to enable hspda/hsupa and you are all set. you will be getting around 2.2-2.8 MB/sec download speeds. This works well and you will see the H on your top line of the home screen. You do not need the speed fix, you can install it, but after these first two steps.

quiquerc, you can do what ms0529 just suggested, it should get you the HSUPA options and the related speed improvement by following those steps. However, each time you clear your memory like that (aka "hard reset"), you also wipe out some critical elements that have to be added to any new fresh ROM, like .net 3.5...so, you'll have to reinstall that anytime you wipe the phone, before many programs (like this cab) will install or work properly.
So, install .net 3.5 again real quick (see below), and you should be able to install and use the cab after that...however I DO highly recommend the advanced config app anyway, so you should try that out even if you don't use it to help you out with this (in fact, I've even attached the cab here for you as well )
Ive install net 3.5 directly from microsoft and the advance configuration tool
and was able to enable hspda But when I go to the advance network connection it doesn't gives me the option to enable it like the speed fix did.
I'm going to redo all the instructions above maybe I'm missing something.
Ive instaled the config tool and its worling fine now.
Im instaling android let's see what happens!!
hsdpa
I need the help. But there is no such option under "advanced network" on the htc tilt 2(Enable/Disabled hsdpa option).What programs recomended for me

Desire wont save or connect to any wifi any more

Ive got a genuine 3 UK (unbranded) desire and been using it for over a year.
Recently they released a small software update (2.29.405.5). I couldn't install this as not enough space so i thought id do a factory reset to get space, clean up and go from scratch.
Not a problem except after that reset my WiFi has stopped working completely.
It turns on, it shows as on, it scans and it shows WLANs around. However no matter what lan you select the second you enter a key without even trying to connect it says "Unable to connect to the network".
If i try to manually add a network i get "Unable to save the network".
It doesnt even seem to attempt to connect, just errors immediately. It's not a key issue as entering any key either correct or incorrect immediately produces the above error.
After a factory reset failed to get it working i rooted the phone to delete/edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file. This didn't solve the problem.
As a last resort i downloaded the latest RUU, flashed but again this hasn't fixed the problem.
So, does anyone know whats broken or how i can fix this or is it a return on the phone?
Everything else would appear to work perfectly but it just refuses to save any details of wlans or connect to them. It all worked fine before a factory reset!
