Mogul users: How to get Yahoo Go 2.0 to see your built in GPS


If you have trouble getting Yahoo Go 2.0 to see your GPS just follow the
same instructions I sent to tech support at Yahoo Go 2.0 below

--- E-mail to Yahoo GO tech support below ---

I can be of a lot more help since I can tell you the error message I get and
the way I found to get around that error message.

For a little background: I got a brand new Sprint "Mogul" yesterday and the
first thing I did while I was still at the Sprint Store was load up "Google
Maps for Mobile" to make sure the built in GPS was working properly and it
was.

When I tried to use the built in GPS with "Yahoo Go 2.0" today I would get
the error message: "The GPS device on your phone cannot be accessed. Please
check the security and GPS settings on your phone and ensure that the GPS
device is switched on and connected to your phone."

Now for a way around that error message:

1. Start Yahoo Go 2.0

2. Go to "Maps" and when you see: "GPS Check for available GPS device now?"
then hit the 'X' in the upper right hand corner.

3. Start up "Google Maps for Mobile" and tell it to "Use GPS."

5. Wait a bit for "Google Maps for Mobile" to jump to the "GPS" location
then hit the 'X' in the upper right hand corner.

6. Go back to "Yahoo Go 2.0" and it will find your GPS too.

If the error message returns then repeat the above.

BTW "Google Maps for Mobile" can be downloaded at: http://google.com/gmm.

One more thing I found today. If you go into
Programs-.Phone->Menu->Options->Services->Location Setting and then turn
that off and restart the phone even "Google Maps for Mobile" will have a
hard time finding the built in GPS.
