Verizon Q9c GPS Hack

[TLearnC]

You asked if anyone has it installed on a WM6 phone? That's what is on all Q9's I thought? Mine sure is and as I said it works flawlessly. I think to bypass the online account setup woes I called in to get my service going and told them I was using the Sprint Q (legacy)... no questions were asked and I have had no problems.

The TeleNav software I downloaded did not say it was for a Q9 version, just Motorola Q. The Q uses WM5. The TeleNav site states that for this version, you must have an external GPS. I am not sure if they intended the "Q" version to be the original Q with WM5 or not, but that is how I interpreted it. Therefore, I asked about the WM6 version.

For the person having pairing issues... You first have to pair your receiver in the bluetooth manager. Once that is done you should be able to link up NP.

On my Q9c, I could not pair my Bluetooth GPS with my phone. There did not seem to ba an option to add devices. There are only options for adding a hands-free device, a headset, or a keyboard. You can also join a personal network, or add PIM synchronization. My guess is that Verizon disabled the ability to add a generic device so that you can not use an external GPS (just as they have disabled the internal GPS).

you can i have done it
open bluetooth manager
scroll to settings
hit menu
click paired devices
the menu
then add and it will search

now im sure theres a quicker way to that menu but thats how i found how to add it

You are correct! I forgot about that menu buried deep inside.

So all the TeleNav software did for me was find that menu and pair my receiver after I failed to find it myself.

I still think there is potential for the TeleNav software to help us enable the internal GPS.

Ok I dont know if i missed this in the thread (because its a really long thread) but could anyone find a driver that the VZnav has that enables the GPS chip?


Just my thoughts,
