Motorola Q Forum | Everything Q - View Single Post - USCellular Q9c GPS Registry and Drivers request.

I know the USCellular version of the Q9c has only been out for a week, considering I got mine on release day, but I'm having a hell of time getting the GPS function of the phone to work. While there is a registry entry for the Intermediate Driver, I'm unable to select it manually, I can only select ports 0-9 to use for the GPS. Of course, the registry hacks that work for Sprint also worked for my US Cellular phone, but today I'm on my second master reset because after I had the GPS working with Google Maps, I changed a setting, and it stopped working.

What I'm asking for is to have someone copy all of the proper driver folders and registry entries that enable the GPS Intermediate Driver option in the WM6 menus and post them here for download. Also, a hack to straight up enable the internal GPS would be nice, since US Cellular was so kind as to lock out another feature of one of their flagship phones. I like the Q for other reasons, but I'm seriously looking at just getting a Blackberry... at least RIM doesn't lock out functionality of their phones, and I know I will have a plug'n'play GPS system with any Blackberry phone.
