You will need to purchase an antenna to receive satelite info.
Once you link it with your bluetooth enabled phone, your software will work.
I believe ther a some hermes that have a built in gps but if yours did you wouldn't be asking.
look here they start around 60 dollars

ALL Hermes have the chip, unfortunately they don't have the receiver... As stated, you need a bluetooth receiver and the software to run. Don't bother asking for maps as that is commercial software and must be paid for. There are sites out there that you can find these things for free but not here....
Hello, I did some searches on this forum already and I can't seem to find the answer to my question. My samsung vibrant is already unlock and I had upgraded it to 2.2 froyo through kies mini and I am using it on ATT with data plan. I want to ask if I decided to turn on the gps and use it with a seperate app will I need to pay for the gps services with ATT? And if I decide to use Telenav GPS app in the phone would I need to pay for that too? Also would ATT know if I am using gps or having it on would that cause any problems? Can you also please be very details in your answer too because I have no idea how this whole gps thing work between the smart phone and cell phone company. Thanks you in advance.
I use Google Maps, and it is free. You can use the build in GPS (hardware) as much as you want. AT&T Navigator app costs $9.99 per month. I don't know about Telenav GPS.
Hi. The problem with my XU I face now is weird (having in mind all the other posts that I've read in this forum about this problem with XU phone). I bought this phone last year, and until March, 2013 didn't have any problem with my GPS, i mean my location was fixed in seconds (max in minute) and I was able to use navigation. By the way, I was using different ROMs, tried ICS, GB, some custom ROMs and EVERYTHING WENT FINE.
Then I haven't used GPS since march, and now when I need it again, it doesn't work properly. I get it fixed for 30 meters around me with wifi on and 800 meters with mobile network on, and I am unable to use any navigation because I need my location totally fixed. I've also checked my girlfriends phone (she's got ZTE Blade) yesterday and the same problem occur, but it was ok months ago (it might be just coincidence).
I live in UK, in city, not village, so GPS signal is strong. I have T-mobile (UK) network (but tried 3 network sim as well, didn't solved), phone running stock GB rom (I've tried other roms as well, the same problem).
So finally, my question is if there is anyone else in UK facing the same problem maybe with other Sony phones or networks?
I have tried to find problem solution in this forum, tried GPS Status and Fix apps, I have rooted my device in order to be able to change gps.conf file, but all the mods and fixes doesn't work.
Edit: problem solved, assembled and reassembled phone, cleaned pins and it works now.
Hey XDA,
some month ago I damaged my phone after 3 great years with it.
I bought a new one via ebay and here is the problem. He said for sure its all fine with it. There should be no problem for sure.
First I had somehow reception issues. Sometimes the connection to my provider was off and sometimes it had 3 of 4 Bars. People told me its not a flashable modem issue, but a issue where i have to change some hardware.
so did I, changed the antenna and the receiver and still nothing changed.
I always want to find and fix the problem by myself, but now i'm at some point where i really dont know what else i could do instead giving it to a repair service.
what i did? changed all modems and stockroms which I could get from the internet and install them one after another and checked my connection via "Network Signal"
the biggest issue there was, at home the connection to my provider was good and at my girlfriends home it was totally broken.
maybe anyone could help me out there?
i just read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667326 maybe i should change the back plate where most of the stuff have connectors? like the GPS does? because if i dont have it on i wont be able to connect anywhere.
My Provider? Vodafone D2 and in other Cellphones the SIM-Card doenst have any problems with the connection/reception
