Telus storm gps satellite lock problem :(
- I just got the storm from telus, i updated to newest software, as soon as i got it i tested the gps with the bbmaps included
it locked onto 10 satellite in under a minute. so i charged it and tried it again, i can't locate and lock on to satellite anymore.
I tried pulling the battery and also the settings in gps and location is on
I also had similar problem with the htc touch pro , i would be able to conenct to gps as soon as they activated the phone but after
its charged or after couple hours, it wouldn't work. but once in a while it might lock on to a satellite.
any help would be appriciated. it doesn't look like they disabled the gps but i donno if there r some settings or conflicts

- Hey
i too am with Telus, and the BBmaps and sat. lock is hit and miss.
earlier today it locked in like 3 seconds, now, not at all.
let me know how that 'fix' works out.
btw, what os?? i am using the leaked .10903-09-09 12:35 AMLike 0 - well i just got the phone today so i'm like a newbie spending long hours reading forums
i just did the fix and it's awesome, google map still doesn't work for some reason because i think it's just for storm since the google map doesn't even have the option to turn on gps.
i had the htc touch pro and it has an option to turn it on or off.
but bbmaps works great, locked on to 6 inside my house within seconds.
now i know it was stupid telus all along, when i talked to the techs they either donno jack or don't want anyone to know so we all pay $10 for their navigation
what is the advantage of running the leaked? is it just that you get the newer os before it comes out so i guess more fixes?03-09-09 01:18 AMLike 0 - well i just got the phone today so i'm like a newbie spending long hours reading forums

The OS is startlingly complex and the included information is near non-existant. I would suggest looking up tips and trick videos as well as checking the forums for tips and tricks. There are a few things like editing text that were very unexpected to me. (click on text to select, then hover your finger over another area on the screen for a few seconds and the cursor will turn hollow and allow you to move it around)
As far as the GPS lock goes, I had the same issue. The BBMaps GPS lock is really flaky and works one day and not the other. With the GPS fix applied to my Telus Storm I still do not get GPS lock through Google Maps, though Google has stated they are aware of this problem and a fix is in the works.03-09-09 04:00 PMLike 0 - Consider yourself "lucky" if you can call it that. At least you got a lock at one point. I never got any satellite lock. EVER. I'm with Verizon though. Still. Same problem.03-09-09 04:05 PMLike 0

google map is supposed to support gps but i donno why they didn't include the option to turn it on , whereas my windows mobile phone, the google map has an option.
that is the only reason why this would work because poynt support the option to use gps.03-09-09 04:07 PMLike 0
