Sprint Navigation
 

heres the cab you either have to get the 20 dollar netpackage or pay 2.99 a day for use.... you can always talk them down through customer service on the price by making up some bullshit...... http://rapidshare.com/files/88484597...mr_21.cab.html

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

there is no hack for it?
cant i just use google maps
instead?

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

yes you can but this is one that will get you turn by turn voice activated navigation like tom tom. runs vey noce..... call them up with a bullshit abuse or well known problem and than when you got them on something throw in the statement bout them doing something for you and you will get upgraded...... i called on a 20 datat package and talked to 2 different people than went to rententions since they said it wasnt a real package even though it was on their website and the guy gave me the upgrade for free.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

currently im on the $15 data for free
i dont pay for data
so ill call and see if they can do something

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

thats what i had plus the 15 dollar unlimited text.after doing like dash said.giving sprint hell got me .20 bucks for unlimited data,plus text,as well as nav.As d/\sh said we both played the night this came out with sprint nav and google maps.Sprint nav is so awesome.does everything you can think of except drive ya home by it self from the bar.:39:

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

I have o have that Rev A to get this to work?

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

you have to have the 3.16 rom installed.whether the sprint beta or the wm6.1 going around.Because gps isn't enabled with normal 2.17.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

Any feed back on the touch ????

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

works excellent and since you got the bluetooth gps receiver you will have to call sprint and get this added to your plan and all..... (well worth it i love it with a passion) and also you can test this out by downloading the cab file and than you will get a 24 hour trial period once you install the cab. so dont install until your ready to use. and you can get way cheaper than the $10 a month if you call customer service you know how to work em lol.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

bro i already paid the 25.00 power vision ultimate package

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

nope you have the ultimate so you should be fine.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

cool got a quick question
the sprint nav doesnt pick up the gps however the live search does

is there application for this ..or a way for navi acknoledge the blue tooth

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

huh odd i dont have the problem of it not picking it up for me....... this doesnt matter with the mogul but have you tried to use the live search as a biffer and run it in the background when you use sprint nav?

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

yea tried that too just suprise there is no where to set the com up..
i will search around an see what i can fine

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

alright cool cool yeha dont know what would be causing that if it works with live search which means your enabled..... i think that i remember seeing somewhere on sprint site now that i think bout it that it only works for internal gps phones.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

Okay so for us late bloomers to this thread, do you have any suggeestions to call and complain about?

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

just personal feelings bro and tell them the problems with the phone and tell them that you want something to compensate otherwise you want retentions.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

That's what I mean - I haven't had a problem, so what are the "known" problems out there we can use.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

bro just say lack of mms and sprint tv which you were promised and than problems with them changing shit on your bill andwasting your time staightening it out and so on.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

would this work for the sprint touch. cause i downoaded it and everything workd but i cant get a gps signal. i have that simly everything plan so would i have to pay for it still?

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

did you read the thread or do a search first???? the touch does not have rev a enabled on it. you cannot get gps period without having a bluetooth gps receiver as we were talking about for the last page.... and sprint nav will only work with built in gps receivers (rev a rom enables) so you wont be able to use this until sprint releases the rev a rom.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

It's a shot in the dark, but will this work with Alltel? :-) Also, do you think that Alltel will put out a rev a rom for the mogul/touch?

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

rev a who knows dont think its even in the talks with alltel since they are more worried about their circle. but it you unlock the phone and either flash to the 6.1 custom rom by no2chem called nuerom or you flash over to the stock 3.35 rom through sprint after unlocking you will be able to get the gps but not sprint since it is a monthly cost through them to have it. but you could use google maps, garmin, tom tom, etc.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

No, you should install something like google maps or windows live search, both will do turn by turn directions. If you have a touch and are looking to do turn by turn i would recommend windows live search at this point; it reads the GPS com port extremely well and is very accurate street-wise. I got telenav working (sprint navigation) with my touch, however i didn't like it as much as windows live search because it didnt have as much to offer.

As for whoever asked about getting the bluetooth gps receiver to work with the touch; once you have it set on a com port, just go into settings > external GPS and set the com port there that you set up for the GPS. Sprint navigation should then recognize it.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

Thanks for the info! Have a good evening!

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

I thought the touch did not have turn by turn capability yet? And if it does what program should I use?

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

read 2 posts above you for the answer..please read the threads before posting.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

I tried it with external settings.. it still doesnt pick it up .. I called sprint they said nope it wont work with a external.. i am very happy with live search.. The good thing about not having the voice deal, that i have my fm transmitter hooked up with my touch. So i am able to hook up my music folder an play it through my radio soo sweet.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

it doesnt you need the bluetooth gps receiver.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

so whats the best bluetooth gps receiver at a fairly low cost

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

look on ebay best place to look they all do the same just dont get a really cheap one and all ........ just go after one that has a resale of over 100 and you will be straight.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

I was wondering.....hhmmm...if i have the sero plan with unlimited data..will i still have to pay to use the sprint nav??

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

dont think that is included in the sero plan since that is eqivelant to the 15 dollar data package. if you run it and you get a trial or a pay message you dont have it ansd it runs 10 bucks a month.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

thanks, so let me get this straight. i just buy one of these bluetooth recievers, connect it to my phone, and then i have gps on my touch. so do i use the live search or what

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

any gps program will work for you once you get the bluetooth receiver.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

yo dash im not sure if i got the right data package to use this. . .i got this one. . . "Sprint Unltd Power Vision Pack" im not sure how much it cost since its free. so i cant say if its the $5 or $10 or $15 or $20 or $25 or $30

any input? because this would be nice to tell me by voice directions.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

thats only 15 regualr you need to get the 30 dollar package. thats the one that includes the navigaqteion unlimited and some other features.... but you may be able to upgrade on the sero plan i think thats what you on...... all you have to do is tell them that you want it and not a huge price jump like tell them you want it for 5 bucks a month or summtin since you feel you shouldnt be punished for having a sero plan.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

dang serious. can u tell me wat i get for that package because they added it to my account for my mogul. remember i took off the data well they put that one on and i havnt wanted to use my data because i dont know what it includes if i can use it for a modem with pdanet and if i can surf the net unlimited on it like access this site any many others such as myspace. but no that one is on a regluar plan not my sero plan. but if that garmin mobile works like this i wont get it. i want that voice nav part for sure.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

pdanet is a work around for the charges they try t put on the user and on pdanet you can visit any site on your computer that you want. all your doing is using your phone as a modem when no wifi is around.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

ya i know that but im talking about will i have expensive data charges or just its coverd in that data plan they gave me. can i watch videos using pdanet or thats like to much bandwidth.

also when i said any website i meant like on my phone. say im at the restaurant wanna check my myspace through my phone. i logg in. can i just use it like that for as long as i want and wont get surprised data charges or it dont cover. basically i cant figure out what that data package covers and doesnt cover. that the others do.

also havnt wanted to use it cuz not sure if it dont start till next bill cycle or right away when they added it to my account. i know they messed up when i took the other one off. that had it all including text and pic mail and etc

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

bro your getting a lil off topic from navigation.... i dont use the app but if you add your questions to the pdanet thread someone that uses could guide you along and explain things.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

lol i know my bad. about getting lil off topic. i was talking about just the data package. not the pdanet at all. i was just talking about regular mobile usage with that data package i have.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

your version gives you sprint tv and radio, unlimited data/internet, and some others lil goodies here and there... you can see all that you get on sprint.com

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

ok thanks bro. ill have to look and see if i can find it on the site. cuz its confusing a lil 2 me.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

i have alltel can i get sprint navi on my phone. or is there another way to get gps.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

you need to flash to the sprint rom first after unlocking your phone than you would wanna go to 6.1 than after doing that you will use garmin or tom tom sprint tv wont works since you have to be a sprint customer.

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

Does sprint nav. use GPS satellites or does it use another form of triangulation? If I loose data connection will the gps still work?

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

Um in runs on satellite and what do u mean data connection? You mean if you lose a signal in the program? The program is designed to try to get a signal if a destination is in progress. No matter what until you either close the application or until your phone recieves a phone call. Hit the thanks button!

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

I mean what if I wander into some place where there is no sprint reception, since it uses the gps satellites will it still run?

also are saying that if a call comes in, it disconnects?

Re: Sprint Navigation
 

YEa when you dont have reception you dont have internet unless you are using wifi. you are on sprints internet network.... as to you other question is doesnt disconnect all theway. kinda goes on standby till you end the call...then the nav starts talkin again!! HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!
