Hi to all,
I recently (about 3 or 4 days ago) bought an HTC Touch Diamond from Telus (Quebec, Canada) and was simply amazed at what that phone can do. But a little quirk apened when I got home and played with it and discovered all its functions.
It seems that I dont have QuickGPS installed and no matter what I try and no matter what program I download, it seems my phone cant connect to any GPS satellites. I have tried many (if not all) com ports/bauds setting combinations and all programs seem unable to access the internal GPS receiver.
Can anyone help me out and suggest things for me to check out. I am new to the WM community and dont have alot of tech skillz with such phones but I really need to get that GPS functioning or its just not worth the extra $$$$ I put on it instead of another internet phone... I am almost thinking of switching carrier and going for an iPhone since I need GPS so much (would help me in my work alot).
The guys at the HTC custumer service told me it was suposed to be set to com 4 but I have tried every combinations of baud rates and still no sat signals :(
There is another guy here on the HTCwiki that started a tread for help on the GPS but in is case, it is working (dont know why and I asked him how he did it) but its not helping me to have help choosing a GPS program when it is not working. If you want to check it out go HERE.
I want to make it work with GoogleMaps or any other programs that is free (or cheap $$) and gets me a satellite view (trees, houses etc.) this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you for your help everybody,
Lucas
