Guest tobor Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) wont work anyway so the point is moot! (I always wanted to use moot properly in a sentence.) :( But doesn't it give us the idea behind the multiplexed intermediate driver? Seems that opening up the actual com port is not the way to go. Also, don't you think there is a gps applet being hidden? Edited December 11, 2007 by tobor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickcornaglia Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 unless other apps were able to use the intermediate drive...which most today are not....com3/index3 is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ephewe Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 unless other apps were able to use the intermediate drive...which most today are not....com3/index3 is the way to go. I don't quite get how to change to COM3 after installing the COM5 activator cab. Can you list the locations and what to change please? I want to try and see what I get. Without using *some* sort of activator patch, my GPS is for s*** it seems. I really hope Paul is able to sort this out. GPS is the reason I bought my Q9. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tin Star Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 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.

Guest apuzilla Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 i see that this is for the motorola q9h for at&t but what about it working for the motorola q9c by sprintpcs? anyone know if that is even doable? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mrkdale Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Attached is a COM3 version of the activator (as a CAB), which should solve the problems with power drain.

Guest suchmuchfun Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest webo Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'm having issues with the COM3 installer. Â 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. Â I then set it manually to COM3 with 19200 baud and it was unable to even initialize GPS. So far no go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only finds the GPS if something else first activates it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Guest tobor Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 how can you see what sats you have locked onto? It's a feature of Google Maps. Shows it on top in a small window on teh map, automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
