Is it me or does TP seem to be taking a long time to lock to a satellite using Garmin XT? Should I try another GPS software instead?

Additionally, while I was driving with my GPS turned on, whenever it enters into Sleep mode, my GPS stopped detecting the satellites immediately, and it has to start searching all over again =.= Any suggestion how to workaround this?

My TP also got problem with Garmin XT.... Mapking 2007 works

Anybody tried this? Should i hard spl first? Or just backup will do? This supposed to fix the mute in the middle of a call problems. Any thoughts? Thanks

Ask Maxis...i think TP can use Blackberry??? Here few hiccups for stock ROM TP.

- Once in a blue moon - all of a sudden in a middle of a call your TP just silence itself - people cannpt hear, you cannot hear people 
- Theres a gap of a second or two before someones from the side could hear you (vice versa) during a call
- As already mentioned - theres a two-three second gap on the ring - still ringging after you hang up
- Not many softwares available for TP yet
- SPB Travelers works fine with TP, Mapking 2007 also better than TD - but my Garmin XT failed to get sufficient satt. Google Maps with GPS works like a charm! Can actually pinpoint me to nearest 20 meter radius!
- Volume during a call soft - can be counter with max volume setting
- Sandisks 8GB card works fine - still waiting to test 16GB
- Most of the issues i faced (for a stock ROM) probably could be address with HTC/SIS new ROM (probably before Xmas)

i believe u can install crackberry:)

I got this problem guys:

When i receive a sms. The phone wont ring or vibrate. Once i remove the phone from standby then it will ring and vibrate only..

this means i need to check me phone regularly
any idea how to fix it?

Issue : Take long time to lock satellite : [could be due to your car tint]
Solutions : Update the QuickGPS frequently

Issue : GPS stop when goes into sleep mode
Solutions : Go to Settings > Display > Backlight Override > enable all the options there
Using both Mapking 2007 and Garmin XT, both also working fine here!   Still new to Garmin XT [ using for about a week now ] but the more i use it the more i love it!

What i meant was lets say i called my own TP, and when i hang up, by right the phone should stop ringing immediately, but it takes my diamond like 3-5 seconds to stop ringing.

when u ask a question, first explain what is it we did, so we can explain what u did wrong. also, please read your manual too. i dun think u did did u? 

@h11g, glad it helped, i cant experiment and try to reproduce your problems primarily because i dun own a TP. but maxis has been screwed up recently. what did u mean your phone RINGS when it hangs up? rephrase your problem i didnt understand u

for those who are having problem = u receive sms, but Touch Pro doesnt ring or vibrate, but suddenly rings/vibrates only when u wake up the phone, it is a bug that is in both DIamond and Touch Pro. I'm not sure if its rom related, simply cuz i didnt bother to check, and there is a simple fix. do a registry tweak to "wake up device when receive new message". It will force your device to wake up and ring. check the tweak in diamond thread first post if u cant find it.

thread starter, please put this point in the first post of this thread, a lot of people keep asking me this d :/
