Hi all,
Everytime I use Tomtom V6 on my Orange M600 I have to delelte and re-pair my BTGPS unit. If I don't then the Tomtom software cannot seem to see it. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, has anyone found a solution?
Well, i also have this Problem. I also use TomTom 6 with a BT GPS unit, and after every softreset or longer disconnect i have to re-pair the device and enter the code. If i don't TomTom will not see the device any more. I haven't seen any thread with a solution yet.
On my XDA Mini with WM2003SE i never had this problem, so i guess it is a WM5 thing.
Is anybody here who can help me. I have the german Rom 2.15.4.29 GER. Radio Rom is 02.19.21.
Maybe there is a way to fix it in the registry... nothing else is installed yet.
Thanks in advance ... Marc
Ok, can be closed.
The solution is:
uncheck the security mark when installing the com port
Cool, thanks matey. Works a treat
ok so i just upgraded to the gps rom....
what are some good maps i can install and use with this newfound gps function....
possibly free if not available for trial at the very least...
ok first things first, can someone post the settings i should have under my gps settings and program settings
i'm using googlemaps right now and it went through the initialization phase of gps fine and now its stuck at seeking gps satellites....
how long does it usually take to find satellites?
nvm got it to work......had to stand by the window
SWEET!!!!!
now get this going for the hermes and im in heaven! it will have EVERYTHING!
There's no built-in GPS on a Hermes. Yes, it does share the Trinity's GPS-capable processor and the same software, radio firmware and drivers work on the Hermes, but there's no antenna in the Hermes and no way to connect one.
Hello, I've got problem with my bluetooth gps (nemerix).
When I'd like to connect to my pda first I'm looking for new devices in bluetooth manager, then parring and seeting outgoing port. And then I'm starting my Navi aplication. It works.
But, when I'm shutting down gps device, turning off buetooth in pda and start it again I've to all tasks mention above - searching, parring and so on. In my opinion,when it's added to my bluetooth devices and properly parred once it should work every time I'd like to use it, however gps device doesn't communicate with pda.
It's quite annoying, why I cannot just start my gps device and my navi aplication and run - I spend a minute with setting connection.
Do anybody know how to fix my problem?
Are you using a custom rom? If so it could be a problem with the rom you are using. I've had the same problem in the past and a different rom fixed the problem.
I've got now Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full, which rom are you using -RanDomIze Final Storm v2.10?
Have you tried "Pocket Buetooth Tools"? You can find it here: http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/download_e.html
I hade major problem pairing my BT-gps to use with Tomtom before I found BTTools.....
I'll try, thanks for advice

Hi all,
I recently purchased a P6500 and I installed Igo 8.When I enter the gps config menu it says that gps could not be found;if i hit the auto search button the device freezes.
I installed Port splitter 1.11 and I managed to gain something...the device doesn't freeze anymore but it still can not find the gps.I have no idea how to set up the com ports....the program port..the hardware port..I am confused...
(I also inst. Igo 2006 and works ok.)
I appreciate any help!!

Hi, Xman -- I don't know this software and so probably can't really offer anything helpful. For what it's worth, the GPS seems to work fine on my P6500: both with Google Maps and with GPS-enabled photos on the HTC Camera app. Does your GPS work with those programs?
Sorry about your troubles!
Alan
I didn't try with Google maps because I'm interested in making Igo work .
At list tell me an app which can show me some info about the internal gps such as speed /the com port on which it's installed etc..
Thanks
Problem solved!!!!!!!
Solution? GPS Gate
I have also noticed the same problem running both IGO-2006 and I-GO 2008 on my 6500,on the other hand i have had no trouble whatsoever running Destinator 7 and Garmin ,i guess it's got something to do with the software and not the PPC itself which i must say has a very good GPS receiver.
Edit
Thanks for the GPS-gate idea.

At input I selected WM GPS and after you hit open.
At output I have Gpsgate direct/virtual com2(all NMEA)/COM2/COM4
But as I said in my previous post...is not quite working.
Also you might check the franson's web site ..thy seem to have a nice support forum...if you find anything please share.

You mean that you have also problems with the Igo8?If yes do you have the original Igo or the cracked one?

Hey Xman556,
it is a crack one at the moment untill I can get it to work properly then I'll buy it if not I'll just leave it.
The way I can get it to work is like this I start the iGo8 then I go to settings TMC and dp a search if return as no hardware fined then I go to GPS and put in the com port 4 and the speed 57800 and it work but if I do a soft rest the iGo8 well not work anymore until I change the GPS port in the PDA to a diffrent port like port 8 then the Igo8 well star and I have to do everything I did before go to TMC and so on if I try to go straight to the GPS without going to the TMC the system hang and I have to do a soft rest this is the way I got it working I'm using the version 4.1.506 if the Igo I tried the earlier version and it is the same problem I need a solution better than this.
Thank You
Gigino
As far as I see the problem is that the cracked Igo is not able to start the internal gps.
Here my new solution..this time is really working !!!
GPS TEST from chartcross...i start this program .it starts the gps then menu/minimize and after i start the igo.
Tell me if it works for u.

Hey Xman556,
thank you for you suggestion it does work now it is much more easier after a soft rest.
Thank You

I had this problem with I-go at first. When first installed selecting the gps port and or baud rate would lock the phone. Also if you did an auto detect it would also lock the phone. Solution, have gpsdash or google navigator running with the gps enabled (or anything else that works with the internal gps it seems). Without stopping the app start I-go and it will find and use the gps quite nicely.
Once it has done this the first time I never had to run anything else before I-go even after a reset. Tried this several times by fully reseting the 6500 and worked every time.
similar GPS problems with HTC P6500 and iGo
Hi all,
I'm writing from Germany and have similar problems with iGo 2006+ and iGo 8.
(I purchased iGo 8 just yesterday)
My (German) settings:
Settings --> System --> External GPS -->
Tab Program?:
COM4 for internal GPS, no external GPS via Bluetooth (see Attachment)
Tab Access?:
manage GPS automaticly: ON
What are your GPS settings?
- - -
What I have discovered:
- 1st starting iGo 2006+ and iGo8: both applications hang during 'starting'
- With Igo 2006+ I tried: 1st starting the app 'GPS Tuner', then starting iGo
--> It starts and iGo finds GPS on Com4 with maximum baud
(now I don' t have any longer 'GPS Tuner')
- With iGo8 I tried starting the freeware 'VisualGPSce' 1st (until GPS fix), then starting iGo8 --> It starts, I could set COM4, maximum baud...
--> so I think, is is an internal iGo/GPS-problem
- Today I could drive about 10 km with Igo8, then it crashes without any msg
You can see, I have similar probs, did u solve the probs meanwhile?

Rainer from Germany
cracked igo works fine on Sedna. from SD or InternalFlash.
I´m using GPSGATE.
Start GPSGATE, best automatically after reboot.
this will start the internal GPS.
Now you have 2 possibilities.
1. use the output port of GPSGATE, maybe Virtual Com1. You can select it in the options from GPSGATE
or
2. use Com4 from internal GPS. once startet from GPSGATE, it works.
you have to edit your sys.txt in folder programs....igo8
[gps]
port="1" or "4"
baud="38400"
it works definitly

Latest news
After trying all kinds of programs(GPS port spliter,gps gate and gps test) I found that the solution with gpstest is the best.So I decided to perform a hard reset in order to install on my device only the useful software. But after the hard reset the gps would not start no matter what programs I installed. So I sent the device to HTC and they replaced the mainboard.
Now the IGO8 works perfect(together with GPSTEST-pls see my earlier posts).
GPS Text script
I too found GPSTest.exe useful because its really small.
Strange that iGo hangs when trying to communicate over the port *unless* you start another program and open up the GPS unit's port.
Sounds a lot like PPC/iGo GPS management issue.
Be that as it may, I created a script with MortScript, and then put this shortcut under my programs in "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" on my PPC (I'm running WM 6.1 if you care).
The following script opens GPSTest.exe, launches iGo, then closes GPSText.exe after iGo shuts down;
iGoLaunch.mscr:
Code:
#OPEN GpsText.exe minimized
Run ("\Storage Card\Program Files\Chartcross\GPSTest\Bin\GPSTest.exe")
WaitForActive ("GPS Test", 5000)
Minimize ("GPS Test")
#Run (and wait until iGo closes)
RunWait ("\Program Files\iGO8\iGO8.exe")
#Close GpsText.exe
Kill ("\Storage Card\Program Files\Chartcross\GPSTest\Bin\GPSTest.exe")
After creating iGoLaunch.mscr, put this link (use notepad) into "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
iGo 8 GPS.lnk:
Code:
1#"\Storage Card\iGo8\iGoLaunch.mscr"?\Program Files\iGO8\iGO8.exe, -101
Please note: If you decide to use this script and shortcut, I highly suggest you check the paths/filenames for accuracy.
GPS and WM 6.1 upgrade
Hey guys -- this may well not be relevant to the issues you're dealing with -- I don't use iGo -- but there is a HUGE improvement in GPS reception with the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade. My Sedna used to have a very difficult time getting GPS reception: it often could not find a signal despite repeated attempts. But since the upgrade, it's been locking on quickly and consistently.
Thought I'd pass this on in case it's helpful.
Alan
very simple script
once the GPS is initialized for the first time it will work
I've wrote a script for MortScript. The only code is:
WriteFile( "COM4:",x )
This script only sends something (here x) to COM4.
Then COM4 is used for the first time and will keep on working.
I start this script in autostart.
That's all.
Please regard uppercase and colons when writing "COM4:"
Bye

Solution for port splitter
You can use port splitter for your gps. here is the process i went through with my HTC (jade). first i used gps gate and figured out that the internal gps is using com4. since gpsgate is not free and had to stop using it I tried port splitter
simply install port splitter on your pda
under INPUT-> PORT: com4 and Baud: 4800 (you might have to type COM4 yourself)
under OUTPUT-> select com1 on the drop down menu and press ADD
then press Start Splitter
and it should work
if not install gpsgate and figure out what port it is using and than use port splitter.
This should save you some money

Hey all,
I have a problem with my GPS, it just wont start up, even if i wait for an hour it wont start up or find any Sattelites.
I found a lot of GPS problem threats, but they all go about GPS lag. And for me its not the lag, it just wont startup at all. The phone does recognize the build in GPS, so i dont think its broken.
Does anyone had the same problem, or knows a solution to this problem?
I also tried several different ROMS and Radios, including the stock ROM and Radio. but with every ROM or Radio it gives the same problem. I also did several Hard Resets with the different ROMS, but nothing changed.
I hope someone knows a solution.
Many thanx in advance
Fine.... we just need to know which GPS software you are using and have you updated GPS data via QuickGPS
Yes i have updated GPS via QuickGPS. and i normally use my GPS with TomTom and Google Maps.
I also tried some GPStest tools: Chartcross GPS test, HTC GPStool.
Euh.... sorry, if you are using all that, then what is your problem?
Can't get GPS lock even if mentioned software is starting? Does TomTom detect your GPS?
Do you have problems with WiFi or Bluetooth or FM radio?
I also have proble with GPS...
I use Igo8,and before one month it was ok..But now,just not working..
I go find gps on port 4 but no satelite signal..
I use quick gps,and all support software ,,but still no satelite signal to catch!!!
any solution??
Try with a different radio and/or ROM version. I had a similar problem - after updating my radio version I could no longer see the signal bars from the sattelites in GarminXT. I had no signal and then all of a sudden - 3D GPS lock (and still no signal bars from the sattelites).
HI ALL
For a week I bought an HD HTC T8282. I've found that GPS does't work. I installed IGO 8.3.2. These version I used it on a HTC P 3600 and it worked great. Now on HD, the application is open but not connect. When GPS is enabled, application displays the following message: "Can not find the GPS receiver.
You can help me with some advice?Is a problem with the operating system? I have a WM 6.5.3.
Thanks.

Try with another software - Google Maps is free and included in most of the ROMs, but be sure to activate GPS within the menu. Also try with GPS diagnostics tools - e.g. HTC GPSTool and ChartCross GPSTest. The latter will actually find the GPS receiver and will lock the sattelites, so it is a perfect tool for the job.
