If you are running Vista You have to have microsoft mobile. Free download from microsoft. I keep reading about the 6.1 Update and I have the same problem. My question is how exactly do I get sharing back on my phone. I am not that computer savy so a lot of what I’ve read is greek to me.

The only thing I can recommend is upgrading to 6.1 again but on a windows xp. When I upgraded mine it took about a 35-40 seconds for gps to be recognized. I used both google maps and windows live search. I have also been able to use sprint navigation. Do not install telenav! It has not been updated to work with the touch without external gps unit.

I upgraded my Sprint HTC touch to WM 6.1 today however I cannot get the gps funtion to work with google maps. The computer I used to do the upgrade has windows vista home premium w/ service pack 1. I tried to install active sync 4.5 but it would not install on a vista computer. The RUU install went smoothly however once I downloaded google maps and clicked on use gps it would not find ive tried it sevel times each time outside with a clear view of the sky. I also went to settings>phone>services>location Setting (and its on), I also made sure the external gps under settings is set to com4. Let me know if there is anything else I should try?

No charges for me either yet. Well see on my next billing period. Good thing now is that the Sprint PAM add on is only $15 if worst comes to worst.

LJ,

Would you tell me exactly what REGISTRY changes you made? (The “method” you mentioned on your posting on July 17th, 2008, 9:29 am )

Thanks,

Jaz, just wondeirng exactly what’s working again after you edit the registry?

Do you mean the “sprint PCS” is working again using internet sharing?

Or do you mean “PAM” is working again using internet sharing?

Or something else is working?

Let us know if you get charged extra or not either way. I have my fingers crossed for you.
Thanks,
tc

Just tried the registry edit on the internet sharing again and it seems to be working. We’ll see next month when i get the bill.
