Gps not working after "update"

[Guest level140]

Well I did the firmware update to make the gps work. I installed google maps and went outside to try to have my gps picked up, but it didn't work. Is there anything else I need to do? I set the gps to be able to be activated by any program.

Settings - Personal - Phone - Services - GPS - Location ON - Accept - Soft Reset - Accept - Soft Reset (Just for good measure)

Turn on your GPS Program, and configure it to use COM 8 Baud 57600

Go outside with a clear view of the sky

Bring a chair, and wait 10-15 minutes (The first lock is a pain, and takes the longest)

Wake up from your nap and realize you have a GPS lock..

Literally EXACTLY what I did =S

After a few minutes it says "Weak signal" or something like that

Maybe I didn't install the firmware right? It works though... Could I re flash it?

You could flash it as many times as you want or flash a cooked ROM (just make sure you follow the directions everytime so you don't kill your phone). I don't even change the GPS settings in GoogleMaps. I let it use Automatic. Usually takes about 30 sec to get a lock.

I could use a new paperweight though...

It might take some playing. If your phone is working then the GPS will too. Please do some reading as there are many threads about the issue.
