I've been reading myself silly trying to figure this out & my attempts at Searching haven't helped, probably because I'm not fluent enough to use the correct terms. In spite of having this device for several months, I've never learned as much as I'd like. Anyway . . .
I finally flashed the newest stock ROM from HTC several days ago. The process seemed to go fine with one exception: I keep getting a notification that I have a new Voicemail when I don't. I check -- no new Voicemail. I Dismiss, but the the notification keeps coming back periodically. Suggestions?
Other than that, things seemed to go smoothly, and I started slowly getting things back the way I like them. After reading & making sure I understood (or so I thought), I installed the .NET 3.5 Framework so I could use Crud Scraper to get rid of the stuff I clearly remembered using it for.
The .NET part went fine, and then I did the soft reset . . . and lost My Location on the Today screen that shows my weather. It now says I'm in Seattle, which I'm not -- I'm over a mountain range & about 350 miles east of Seattle. When I try to change the location, it doesn't find my town or anything in my area, for that matter..
The mysteriously (to me) reappearing Voicemail Notification is bad enough, but I really rely on the weather, particularly this time of year, and it's driving me crazy that I can't figure this out. Suggestions?
TIA
Did you try looking at the several threads on this ROM in the Rom Development forum? There's a fix in one of them for this problem.
For which problem? And, do you have any idea what thread?
And, yes, I did look in the thread I found (New ATT Tilt2 ROM) -- I believe I read every post before I flashed the latest ROM, even though much of it was over my head. That's where I learned that I had to install .NET 3.5 & reboot before CrudScraper would work.
I recall several people mentioning that the My Location worked flawlessly & how great it was having the location, and I read where one or two people seemed to be having the same weather problem I'm having, but I didn't see an answer. I read in one of the forums that there seems to be a bug (although not confined to the latest ROM) in certain parts of the world, and I read a thread where there seemed to by a problem with My Location in a cooked ROM that might or might not have been related to GPS not working. I read something else where My Location wouldn't work with 3G, only with Wi-Fi, so I tried that, even though My Location was working just fine after I flashed to the latest ROM -- that didn't help.
So, it's not like I'm asking because I hadn't already tried to find solutions myself. I'm not doubting that there are answers to both of my issues but rather that after spending several hours over the weekend trying to find the solutions, I've been miserably unsuccessful. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked.

For the My Location feature, only part of the service is understood. For the most part, the location is determined by the cell towers your device connects to. It depends on where you are as well as the signal strength. Sometimes the request is not sent or received to/from the tower(s). It is more accurate usually when 3G is turned off. The alternative is to add your city manually. If the location servers can't figure out where you are, then it won't work.
Normally the stock ROMs fix this and work wonderfully after flashing. The best solution to this is to turn off 3G to get a fix or find your city manually.

I'm feeling really stupid here, but being a glutton for punishment, I'll keep trying.
Is it possible that maybe there was something wrong with the towers here that just happened to coincide with the soft reboot after installing .NET? The reason I ask is that My Location is now correct. Yay! That would be just my luck: bad timing.
Any suggestions about the incorrect Voice Mail notification? It for sure comes back each time I power up the phone. It seems to me it also reappears at other times, but I'm not positive about that -- I'm going to try to pay better attention.

Make sure to install .NET CF 3.5 to the device and not the storage card. You'll then need to restart, if it doesn't ask you to do so. You then need to force it to use 3.5 over 2.0. Use a registry editor and navigate to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Then change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.
For a decent registry editor that can be used from the PC side, check out CERegEditor if you don't already have an editor of choice.
For the voicemail problem, there are two known solutions. You can either have someone call and leave you a voicemail. You would then check it and delete it. You can also simply call your provider and have them reset your voicemail account. Either one should work.
If neither of those options works for/appeals to you, you can give this a shot. There are no guarantees that it won't come back after a soft reset, though. Using a Registry editor, navigate to the following keys:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line2\Unread
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Total\Unread
There should be a value name "Count" with a REG_DWORD value
Change value to 0 in decimal or 00 in Hex.
It should remove voicemail notification icon from the taskbar.

Many thanks! For the Voicemail, I used method one, and it worked
And, thanks for the instructions (and the reg edit program suggestion) to force use of .NET CF 3.5 because I missed that part -- yikes.
I'm on a dedicated mission to cut down on the elecronics I have to carry around, so I need to learn more about the features of the Tilt2 because if I can just figure things out (which I've not forced myself to do), the Tilt2 will, I think, be able to replace my PDA & iPhone.
Anyway, thanks again for your help!

Hi, i have just upgraded to Windows Mobile 6 the black 2.5 edition.
Whilst I was doing it i had my memory card left out which had applications on it, now when I put it back, the applications are not there..? I copied all data from active sync > explore (except my windows mobile device) and then I copied it back after upgrade. I am not fussed that the programs are gone, it would be good to get them back though, and since the card was not inserted during the upgrade, the application files must still be on the card somewhere taking up space...?
Anyways, I can't seem to get the 24 hour clock on it and also can't change the date to the UK style e.g. 24/04/2007, it is stuck in american style e.g. 04/24/2007. Any answers...?
Is Windows Mobile 5 applications supported by Windows Mobile 6? Can I have links to Windows Mobile 6 downloads please
Also , I do not like the boot screen, I want to put a picture of my wife and son, how do I do that? Sorry I am an intermediate user.
Please read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
before you get abused.....
Couple of pointers though, you might want to check your country is actually set to UK, rather than the default US.
When you install Black you wipe out the entire OS, the application files will be on the card, but the shortcuts in the OS that you find in the menu's and the programs directory will not. Search the card to see if there is actually anything on it at all.
You cant actually copy installed Apps with ActiveSync, it doesnt work that way, you can use it to re-install apps.
Most WM5 apps will work with WM6, but some will not and some will have odd behaviour because the programming interface isdiffeent to WM5.
But please, read the Wiki
Sorry, unable to help with the card issue.
But, the 24 hr clock & date is in settings, regional settings & set to english (uk).
The splash screen is explained in Mr Vanx upgrade guide, where it is explained re first & second screens.
Hope this helps & sorry if you have already completed or read the guides
Or, leave settings on US and choose (in Settings, System, Regional Settings):
Time: HH:mm:ss and you're on 24hr clock,
Date: dd-MMM-yy and you're on European date.
And if someone flames you for asking, screw that
Thanks very much. The ony things I need to do now is fix the wifi, it doesn't turn on..?
Also, the start bar sometimes hides....
and about the applications on the card. they are still there under "program files" and can be opened but some of them - registration fails. The shortcuts are not in the menu though...
Also how can I add a running programs shortcut on the bottom like I had on WM5..I can't seem to do it....
Sorry for sounding so dumb...

Hmmm, there is a known issue with wifi settings getting wiped out, there are a couple of threads about it in Hermes upgrading, Olipro and pof are working on a fix that they say should be out in a few days.
Dont know about the start bar hiding, havent seen that myself, as for the apps, I would say maybe install them again to the same location to put all your shortcuts back, technically you will just be putting the same files on the storage card and any settings that went on the card should still be there.
I cant find a way to add running programs either, go into settings/memory/running programs or use the taskman program. If anyone else has seen a way to add running programs to the softkey setup I would be quite grateful too.
Its not about sounding dumb, you dont - you're just lacking the necessary info, its just if you ask questions that have been answered elsewhere people figure you are just being lazy or ignorant especially if they are the same kinds of questions that people keep on asking that can be answered by doing an advanced search and selecting show posts instead of show threads.
Just keep at it, you will get there in the end.

Thats odd because the wifi and radio dont actually have anything to do with each other, radio rom controls GPRS/3G stuff. Oh well, go with it.....

Really..? That could be why my web pages weren't opening. I've just been on the phone to T-Mobile as it goes and they say that their 3G is down. I'm able to connect to GPRS but loading the web pages it just says opening and nothing opens. They said it should be OK in a few hours...oh well.

LOL no that time my network problem was fixed because i had went to Radio 1.40 just web pages werent working. Then they called me back on my work phone to help me solve it anyways...
I read it on a thread (I WISH I could remember where so credit could be given where due)... but the solution worked like a charm.
I have a Dash running WM6 on T-Mob. Since the launch of GMM2 Ive been both excited and terribly disappointed that I couldn't get it to work. However... the solution is simple: get "appunlock" (from surreal networks) and install. Then reboot.
That's it. After I did this, my location showed IMMEDIATELY on the GMM app as a happy little blue dot. YAY!!!
Happy locating everyone!!!
Thank you so much for the tip. I used the APP unloked on my S621 and MyLocation feature works now.
Where you been?

Um honestly where have you been? It's been known for quite a while that you can get MANY smartphone apps to work on the dash by simply app unlocking it. I'd suggest hunting around first before posting because you're dishing old info...
yeh you haven't app unlocked your phone yet?? wtf
You guys are butts. I don't even know what "MyLocation" is or what it's for, but I have app unlocked my phone and performed many tweaks. That's why we come to this site--to learn new things!
App Unlock for GMM
Okay, my HTC S621 also says 'location is temporarily unavailable' Since I've had the phone I've upgraded it to Rogers WM6 (although I'm with Suncom), I've installed numerous applications like Google Maps, Microsoft Voice Command, TCPMP + plugins, Palringo, Fring, etc. I did have to use the methods mentioned on this site to temporarily lift the CID lock to install WM6.
But I'm thinking that this would that mean that my phone isn't application locked. Or does the application unlock, do something else. It seems to me that since I can pretty much install anything I'd like, that my phone is not application locked, and therefore this GMM proposed fix isn't really a fix.
I look forward to your responses.
Thank you,
Tim
just tryin' to lend a hand...
Im no expert.... clearly. However, Ive never had to appunlock my phone to install or run the software I have added to my Dash. Ive had it for well over a year and the "My Location" feature of GMM is the only thing Ive run across (that I have any need for) that has required appunlock to work. Old news or not... since GMM2 has been released nearly all (I'd say 5 out of 6) of the postings about it that are associated with the Dash say that while the mapping software worked fine, the "My Location" feature did not. It always and immediately (without attempting to connect tot he network) gave a "You location is temporarily unavailable" message. Since adding appunlock the feature now works as it was designed. My intention isnt to waste your time with 'old news' (if you already know it); It's simply to help others out there like me who just want the program to work and are looking for a solution. If you already have it working, why bother reading this thread?
Just trying to help a brotha out, you know? :-D
My S621 was app unlocked. I've installed many unsigned apps, including GMM2.0, but the MyLocation feature didn't work. I just ran the surreal appunlock, and now it works!
Weird, no idea why it works, but it does...
as I understand it, appunlock makes a few registry edits that allow your device to run 'non-microsoft-certified' programs. Ive added a number of other programs without issue (just as you are saying), so I was a bit surprised that this solution would be necessary...nonetheless, it worked, and was an easy fix. Hope it works for you too!

Same with my phone. It was already app unlocked but the Sureal Network app is the only one that work on to get My Location working.
You were correct!
Apparently the appunlock cab file does something to the settings. Because now it works just fine! It zoomed to within 1700 meters or so from my house. If anything it'll at least get you in the vicinity of where you're at.
This really makes the Google Maps worthwhile having on your phone, even if you do lack GPS.
I just want to say thanks to whoever started this thread because I HAD Google Maps, but was not aware that there was an update! I already had the Surreal Networks AppUnlock, so when I upgraded to GMM 2, (which I discovered after reading this thread), I was able to see "My Location." It's great! Thanks to those of you who know who you are!

My comment wasn't a "hey retard nur nur" but it was a response to your apparent "fix" to get GMM to work. I was simply stating that app unlocking your phone is your answer to many installation and functionality issues. Sorry if i came off as abrasive but it wasn't meant as strong as it appeared. Let me reiterate: "App unlocking isn't just the answer to get mylocation on gmm working, it's your answer to many of your installation issues" there problem solved..
No Prob. And likewise, I appreciate your clarification. :-D
Now... if only we could start digging into/toying with the 'upcoming' WM6.1...
I just unlocked my phone and all but my location is still not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Did you use Surreal Networks AppUnlock program?
Are you somewhere with a decent signal? It won't work if you're in the Boonies!
Yes I have three bars on my cell phone, and I do not see why it would not work? Any suggestions?
Yeah i also have no luck with the my location feature, i used the appunlock from surreal, I have four bars and am on the Edge network right now, but it always says that my location is unavailable...
doesn't work on my cavalier either
not working
be sure to reboot your phone after the appunlock and then 're-set" GMM2. I believe you go to "Menu/Options/Reset Google Maps".
That should work. beyond that, unfortunately, I would have to suggest going to one of the Google community forums, but I really didnt find much there when I looked.
Good Luck!
So Aaron McCarthy discovered a new Vogue rom for Telus users (I REPEAT: TELUS ONLY!!!). It was at one of the known IP addresses which HTC has used. It was accidentally leaked or opened for a tester, I suppose. It's also seemingly no longer available... I get "Directory Listing Denied" when I follow the link now. So, of course I've uploaded my copy to rapidshare. Back up any important files on your phone and then enjoy:
http://rapidshare.com/files/1282900...4350H_3.41.00_Ship_withPPSTPatch1.20.exe.html
It'll be easy to install, just run the EXE on your windows XP/Vista computer, connect your vogue with Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center when the program prompts you to do so, and follow the on-screen instructions. It took me approximately 15 minutes to do this. Add five for letting the phone customize itself.
I also did some messing with it to get everything working. It does not fully function out of box (which is probably why it's not actually released yet).
For me, the steps that got the GPS and Internet to work:
-Dial *22803 , 1 (for English), 1 (program your handset). Wait for reset.
-Install Google Maps and a registry editor.
-Search for a registry key called GPSMODE and change it's dword value from 2 to 4. This may not be necessary, but it worked for me.
<EDIT>Registry change is definitely not necessary, I've tried it both ways with no different effect. What this setting does might be explained better in the next post.</EDIT>
-Soft reset.
-Run Google Maps and any other freeware, no problem.
I'm certain that some GPS programs will require initialization/tweaks, and I'd bet that most of those have already been examined elsewhere in this forum. Anyway the GPS is seemingly solid and accurate. I placed it next to a handheld garmin unit and speed, lattitude,longitude were matched on both devices over a half-hour trip. It will certainly NOT work indoors.
As for Rev.A, I honestly cannot tell you anything about it. I'm in a CDMA only area for the next 3 weeks.
Thanks again to Aaron McCarthy for discovering the Rom and letting us know so that I could copy it before we got locked out. Here's the thread he started : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2385096
by setting GPSMode to 4 you disable the GPS. Not the best idea....
GPSMode 1 = ONLY pure GPS
GPSMode 2 = GPS + aGPS
GPSMode 4 = aGPS only
Got it installed without any issues. However Google maps and the Telus Navigator programs don't seem to be able to find the GPS... Well, to be more precise, googlemaps doesn't give an error. It just sits there seeking satellites. The Telus NAV doesn't get past the startup screen. Any suggestions?
WM6.1 is working fine on my phone but is it possible that I actually don't have the built in GPS even though it is a Telus HTC Touch?

It has been known since a while that all Vogues phones (or CDMA Touch) have the GPS hardware built in. It is just not activated by Telus yet.
This new ROM should be released officially by Telus soon in order to let users have GPS and better performance.

Has anyone else tested to see if Rev A gives better performance?
Also, does this ROM improve Bluetooth and device overall performance?

its there
the place holder is up.. we can expect the official, offical release soon
http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=80&act=sd
Thanks for this ROM. Can't be more easy to upgrade a ROM.
GPS is working fine. It took several try and a very clear sky (no tree) to make first connexion. It was so slow to connect that I suspect AGPS (cellular tower triangulation assist) is not working.
At 3 bars of reception, in EVDO REV A zone, I get a DL speed of 150 to 400kb/s which is pretty lame and just a bit better than before rev A.
One problem:
When clicking on status icons on the top bar (volume, battery, etc.), it used to display the control directly. Now it displays an intermediate screen repeating those icons but in a larger mode. It is buggy because it doesn't display message icons if I previously clicked Dismiss. Then I can't go to my messages.
In Start, Settings, System, TouchFLO, there is no setting to remove this screen.
I tried HKLM->Software->HTC->EnlargeTitleBar->Enable=0 without success.
Is it something that comes with WM6.1?
Is it Telus ROM specific?
Do Sprint official ROM got the same problem?
Any reg to remove this?
That is too funny

If you go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406320&page=2 and go to post #14 you can see the guide to improving GPS locks on the telus rom. I mean DRASTICALLY. From initally loading the rom I went from getting 4-5 locks maybe after a few minutes on a cold GPS start then once I changed all the settings and did a soft reset I was getting 6 to 7 satellite locks down in my basement. Pretty impressive
It's not as complicated as it seems to be in the post I made. Pretty straight forward actually and I would recommend it to anyone who wants better GPS reception
In regards to Rev A speeds. I'm in London ontario so would think there would be rev A in the area but I dont get any better download speeds. I still download around 600-800 kbps. Which is really good enough for me. I dont know if rev A actually was supposed to increase your download speed or if it improved upload speeds making Voip easier and allowing you to have data and phone stuff going on at the same time. All I know is my internet speed didnt change but Rev A was enabled.

Every time, before using this, an already established data connexion is needed BEFORE looking for GPS satellite. The GPS will not establish the connection if it's not there. A simple solution is to open Google map and move the map up to a download is required BEFORE making the GPS satellite connexion.

For as small as our arms forces are (navy, Army, airforce) we actually have some of the best trained soldiers the world and some of the best equipped. Little known fact No that it has anything to do with the phone!
Looks like the official Telus rom is on HTC's site now.
Yep - and it appears to be identical to the one referenced in this thread from 3 weeks ago. That's kind of a disappointment considering how much trouble the tech-naive user is going to have getting the gps to work and getting their data connection back after flashing.

Very lame.
Exact same files and version. http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=80&act=sd
2 weeks ago I sent a support ticket to HTC stating that the GPS fix is difficult to get, mainly because all GPS assisted features (aGPS) are disabled by default in the radio (can't be fixed by a simple registry tweak). I even pointed them to one solution of many (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406320&page=2 post #14). Then no correction and not even a mention in the documentation.
I just can't imagine how many phone calls they will get from upgraders complaining that the GPS can't find satellites after 5 minutes...
First off I have the Sprint Vogue. Ok this morning I decided to update my phones Rom and this that and the other. I found NFSFAN's custom wm6.5 and I am loving it but now I have some issues.
Everything is loaded and partially working. I really like it but somehow and somewhere there are problem. I don't have internet access any longer, it dials out to #777 and then goes away like its connected, but when I went to update my email, weather, and then to try Skyfire.... I get no connection no internet, or something in that nature. So I looked in a few folders to look at some setting and nothing is out of order.
Here is one of my messages that I get when trying update my weather:
Couldn't establish internet interpreter.Connection
Line 1
(Temp\rartmp99.802\titaniumWeather.mscr): connect ("The Internet")
I think I may have the fix for Titanium Weather but I still need more help.
Then I get a window for:
Network Log On
Resourse: Data Connection
User Name:
Password:
Domain:
I looked at this setting in my network connection folder and press the finish button when I was done looking at the information since I couldn't find an exit button.
Another issue is my MSID is set to all zeros to the best of my knowledge is should be the same as my current phone number. I have tried ## this # that and I always dial out and an operator comes on saying the number or code entered is invalid.
Am I over thinking this or how do I fix this. I am getting frustrated with the searching and digging and not getting anywhere, can someone please help me with this?
also does it matter that my phone use to say it was the VOGU 100 and now it says its the VOGU 200
Are you with Sprint?
There is a ton of info in NFSFAN's thread regarding getting Sprint back on the internet, just search.
Thanks for that, I did use the search on this upgrading forum and couldnt find what I needed..... Thanks juddy, after a few minutes I found my answer and it all works now. All that was needed to be done was to revert to his/there 6.3, make sure that it all works and then revert back to 6.5. I am getting on the internet, weather is updating, emails are syncing onto my phone. So far so good only time will tell on how well it works. Thanks
Hey guys. I know there are dozens of threads here on XDA about GPS problems. Well, I have sifted through many for weeks now, I have tried and tried tweaks, hacks, whatever and I am having no luck. I used to have my GPS working with bing, google maps, whatever. I installed TomTom and never got it to locate a GPS signal, since then I have not been able to get any GPS working that I can recall.
I am not sure if I have replaced or deleted some file during all these registry hacks and tweaks, so I am at a loss. I just want to get my GPS working. I am no noob, so please no rude remarks. I just need some help. I cannot get this thing licked for the life of me. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I am using an Energy Leo ROM with Sense 2.5 if that helps or matters to anyone.
Please, people, somebody help me get this GPS working again. THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE.
EDIT: I fixed it, if ur curious check out post #7

Since you're "no noob" I assume you've already hard-reset your phone...?? And/or tried the Task 29? And then re-flashed to a stock rom?
If you've done all of those things (surely you have if you've been troubleshooting for weeks) and GPS still doesn't work then it seems like you must have a hardware problem.
Yeah, thanks

Alright, figured I would get some type of remark anyways, but it's cool. I have done a hard reset which I was trying to avoid, but I have not reflashed to a stock ROM and back again. Once again, I was trying to avoid all of that, but if there isn't any other options, it seems like that's what I am going to have to do. It's just since I flashed to the energy ROM, my GPS did work, it just stopped working suddenly. Thought there could be some connection(s) settings that got changed or possibly a file lost or changed.
I am willing to reflash the phone, by all means, but I thought I would check with my fellow hacking badasses to see if anyone could come up with an actual idea instead of telling me to change the phone BACK to it's original out of the box state, but if not whatever, guess I might have to bite the bullet.
If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know. I'm gonna hold tight on reflashing the phone for a few days to see if anyone has any other ideas.
what version of TomTom are you using?
i found with TT7 it will not show how many sats you have. and its a bit of a faf getting it to work, but i do have it working like this
in the gps settings of the phone set theprograme port to com 4and the hardware port to com5 and the baud to 4800
in TT and go to gps settings under preferences
change the GPS device to other GPS set the com to com 5 or 4 (try both)
go outside in a field etc, and wait 10 mins, you will see the latitude etc change, wal around and it will keep changing, but there will be no blue bars to tell you your signal strenght etc

It's easier to help you if you say what you've tried -- a little more detail than you're giving. Like, after you hard-reset did you reflash the Enrgy rom and try the GPS before adding Tom-Tom? If you did a hard reset, returning the phone to the basic Energy rom (without Tom-Tom) and GPS still doesn't work then Tom-Tom isn't the problem. But who knows... good luck.

In my version of TomTom (ttn7.916.9189_qvga_blue) I find my satellites to be working no problem as per the display of locks on the navigation screen. No tinkering required.
As for the GPS issues, I would guess try another radio version. When you flash a stock ROM back on, it usually replaces the radio. In Southern California I find the .77 RADIO to be excellent with GPS.
Just update Quick GPS, try the .77 radio, stand out on the street for like 2 minutes so it can get a quick lock. With .77 GPS works in my house where it never did before.
I too had a helluva time getting this GPS working tits on the Touch Pro 2 when I first got it, now it's awesome!!
Thanks I will try

I have reflashed my ROM more than once since all of this began in order to fix this problem with no avail, but I cannot say that the radio every changed since I was reflashing with an Energy ROM each time, so I will try what your saying about flashing the radio with some different ones. I am not sure what my stock radio was, so I will just have to experiment, but I will get back to you after I give this a try and let you know what happened if anything.
Got it Working Now
So I tried flashing a new radio. I also found another setting, though in the settings panel that I believe fixed this. It is as follows:
Settings\Connections\Advanced Network
When you're in this area, check the GPRS tab at the bottom. It has two options to set your GPRS to, one is PAP the other is CHAP. Mine was set to CHAP, so I changed it to PAP and VOILA!! Went outside,used Quick GPS, used the HTC GPS Tool, and it found satellites. Then I opened up google maps, bing, TomTom, and they all worked perfectly. So, if anyone else is having a similar problem, then give this a whirl. Make sure you check out different radios as well. I have now and my signal is strong inside and outside with my phone calls,internet, and GPS.
Thanks everyone for the help

Must be your local servers. I was using CHAP without GPS problems. The only difference is that CHAP uses secure authentication with the servers. I'm in LA.
BTW, are you using the "Quick GPS" application to download satellite positions? It really speeds up signal acquisition.
