GPS on UK Orange Omnia

[Guest k900]

Hi,

I have a Omnia which was previously locked to the orange network and can not get the GPS to function.

I have TomTom 7, Live search and Google maps installed, but none of these are able to connect to the GPS device.

Under settings I have an External GPS icon but no Enhanced GPS icon.

I have tried installing various apps : GPStoggle, GPSID... to no avail

I have tried changing some registry settings, but this has also not helped.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?

Thanks for your help.

I have an Orange UK Omnia i900 and have had no problems with the GPS.

Try google maps just to see if you can get a connection.

I use GM and Garmin XT and IGO8 without any problems

Make sure you tick all the assisted GPS boxes in the settings

Thanks,

I upgraded the ROM as described here:

now the GPS is enabled [at least with Google maps] and the phone seems to be a lot more stable.

Thanks,
