From my earlier post.....change each of the 5's to a 3

Thanks! It's the second part that I couldn't find.

Incidently, changing to com3 didn't work for me at all (but then again, i'm an AT&T Q9H user).

I'm att also and if you make both changes either through the registry or edit one of the cab files before you install it, it works just like it probably did before att made the change to stop it.

Device(s): BlackJack II

It would seem that the GPS in the blackjack II only works if you first pay for the TeleNav service. Does anyone know if this is true? I had hoped I could still use the GPS functionality without the TeleNav service.

I would like to use the GPS for LiveSearch. I activated TeleNav for one day and it all worked fine. The Telenav worked with GPS, LiveSearch worked with GPS, The hack mentioned here worked as well. At some point during the next 24 hours it would seem AT&T was able to disable the GPS having realized I wasn't paying for the service.

I am not upset that TeleNav doesn't work, I am not paying for it. Not trying to get something for free here. But I am disapointed that the GPS functionality doesn't seem to work without TeleNav. I assumed that I would get hardware GPS functionality anyway since, as I understand, GPS signal is free.

Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. By the way, I am in the U.S. San Francisco to be exact.

Thanks for any help,

Paul

Attached is a COM3 version of the activator (as a CAB), which should solve the problems with power drain.

Let me know!

Have you tried it on your phone yet Paul? What changes have been made?

Installed it myself just a bit ago. I actually downloaded the attachment directly from the phone. I tried it and could not get Live to work at all. I finally tried Google and it hooked right up. Back to Live, nothing. I checked out my settings and found I was still on Com5, so I changed it to Com3. It said it couldn't communicate. So I changed it to the intermediate driver and, bam, instant lock. I'll do some more testing this weekend, but so far it seems excellent.

THANKS!

I just installed it. Locked on 6 sats in a minute INSIDE my apartment with Google maps. 30 feet from a south facing window! Closed google, open up Live, locked instantly using multiplex driver. I'll exit Live now and leave the phone off the charger over night to see what the battery drain is like,

I'm having issues with the COM3 installer. I installed it, rebooted, opened up Google Maps (which was not set to manual but the first option) and it was unable to lock onto a satellite. I then set it manually to COM3 with 19200 baud and it was unable to even initialize GPS.

So far no go

I got it going with CoPilot but it appears as if CoPilot can not activate the GPS. It only finds the GPS if something else first activates it.

An update. Woke up this morning, phone still had a full charge. Seems that all is working well. Went outside today, took Google Maps about a minute to find 5 satellites. Closed Google, started up Live, found satellites instantly. SO far so good. I did have an unexplained reboot today, with the only programs running was intshare.exe. We'll see if the reboot is a recurring problem.

It's a feature of Google Maps. Shows it on top in a small window on teh map, automatically.

Could you post this in a form suitable for direct OTA download to the device. Apparently, I am too dense to get it onto my desktop and then sync it to my Q. Thanks very much!

It is in a form for your device. I pulled the cab right off of his post using my Q.

The COM3 version of the activator seems to work fine. Thank you so much for your dedication to solving this problem, it is very much appreciated.

A further update. It seems as though if the gps hasn't had a lock on satellites within the previous 12 hours, it can take as long as 3 minutes to lock. Once it does lock, then the last satellite position is probably stored in the gps, because it will easily lock on again in a few hours if attempted. We need to get some program that will automatically download satellite positions,(my HTC 7501 did that.)

It seems powering the device off/on forces a cold start.

I have been following the COM3 download threads and have (I think) successfully downloaded it...I still cannot get my GPS to work through Google Maps...in fact I keep getting "fatal error" messages when I try to click on "where am I?". Am I doing something wrong? I thought if I downloaded the COM3 CAB then I could use gmaps with ease...

Any help is appreciated.
