One thing that gets me with the HD2 is that I have installed IGO 8 navigator and when in use the phone will go into sleep mode. How can that be?
You have the navigator running and 1min later the screen goes black and you don't get prompts nor visual aid.
To me if something is running the phone should not go into sleep mode.
Any ideas?

Try this:

I will give that a shot, thanks for the link.
I would have preferred a fix that does not need any applications installed though.

When I'm using Copilot, it does exactly what you need igo8 to do, so I'm guessing igo8 doesn't have the feature required.

That is a bummer. I might look into copilot I guess then. Thanks for the heads up!
Just don't let the phone go to sleep mode when on external power and plug it in when using iGo.

I have always just used it running off battery. Following directions what IGO 8 tells me and if I don't touch the screen within a minute or so the screen goes black and IGO 8 stops talking to me.

Many persons does have this problem too. Switching to the lastest ROM's (DOPOD 1.23.707.6 or LVSW 1.23.800.2) doesn't work either, neither does changing to TomTom 6, 6.02 or 6.03.
It looks like the phone hangs sometime after some heavy duty, like TomTom. It hangs too when you got a monitor tool installed for the flash space for example like BatteryStatus or SPB PocketPlus.
It seems that it's a heavy duty to sync madia files by WMP (Windows Media Player) to the storage card, then it hangs after a couple of songs.
I don't know if this is because of the read/write actions on the storage card (I've got a Transcend 80x miniSD) or because of the floating point of the processor.
Maybe the real experts can figure this out for us ..... ?????
Anyway ... pushing 1 of the buttons on the phone stop the hanging and you can go on browsing through the menu's in TomTom.
By the way .... if the GPS isn't online before you start TomTom, it drives the phone crazy too.

Never noticed this on mine... How can you start GPS without using a navigation software?
Fist TomTom than Bluetooth...
It looks like If I first start tomtom and wait until the GPS is working. Then I start bluetooth for my phone connection with the carkit, it works oke...
Or maybe I had just look today.
And pressing the phone key works! TomTom unfreezes then I press a phone button...
Strange!

You could start your camera. Then select the GPS mode and wait for it to get a fix. You might have to start it twice if it does not get the fix the first time.
Is there something simple that I am missing that someone can point me to? When I use GPS/Google Maps, the screen times out after the set delay (I have it set to 30 seconds) and I have to turn the phone back on again.
This never happened with my G1. When it was in GPS/Map mode, the screen would just automagically stay on.
i still have my eris (1.5) but i use keepscreen...

didn't want to create a new thread, but did anyone find a solution to this besides keeping the display on when charging?

Hello,
I've exactly the same problem. I tried keepscreen, it works, but I wanted to know if there was an other solution (without installing an application).
If somebody has a solution, it would be great
Screebl does what you want.
If you use the Navigate function the screen does not timeout. of course you can't be in any other app.

i've found that if i run the gpsview app from the windows dir it locks almost instantly every time...
if i don't do that it takes google a minute or two depending on where i am.. but i've never had it not lock that i can remember.. and i use it quite a bit... idk if ur doing anything wrong tho.. check out that app and see if it helps
also there's a gpsOne app that will let you set the radius of your lock and some other settings as well.. also located in the win dir

Hello. I own a HTC HD 2 and my GPS seems to be malfunctioning.
I am trying to search for sattelites and it doesn't find anything.
I tried GPS test and Igo, nothing works.
Tested outside.
What should i do ?

right .. hd2 have one of the best gps receiver... igo8 for me is working faster than my ex-tomtom 520.. i think kpyhere needs to change his sys.txt and delete the content of the save folder ... do a search, under the thread of apps will find some good sys
PS - i never used QuickGPS, not even after a flash of a new rom
I got outside, staid there for a couple of cigarettes, but the gps was not locking to the satelites.
Tried GPS test. This doesn't want to work either...
Maybe a Fix for GPS not finding Satelites
I had the same problem, I tried all the suggestions in this thread and even from the entire forum.
I finally decided to turn AGPS off and amazingly, IGO8 and TOMTOM now find Satelites within 10 seconds. My thinking about this, is that AGPS is trying to find a lock using Cell towers first and this is causing the delay.
Anyway, my two cents worth and maybe it will help.
I'm just using the stock ROM on TMOUSA, but I get a lock on a cold start in about 10 seconds. It is so much better than the Touch Pro 1 or 2.

where do you turn off the AGPS? Thanks a lot!
I would like an answer to that question too.
Seems to be working with this one

So, no solution to this.
Still waiting for ideas.

If you go to Settings, then to Location, it should be there or you could use the tweaks program in the previous post.
Update
I have just arrived in New Zealand (Auckland), started up iGO8 and within 10 seconds I have a lock on 5 satelites. Still have AGPS turned off.
When I get back home (Melbourne), I will turn on AGPS and report back how long it takes to find lock.

I have no AGPS setting in Location from Settings.
Can it be found elsewhere without using a tweaking program?

Here's how to get te best from this cute app
I found here http://htcpassion.wordpress.com/2008...indows-mobile/ a procedure that allows to get ULTRA FAST GPS FIX. I tried it and seems to work! I'm really astonished. Note: all benefits will be lost if device is switched off or battery is removed.
Let me translate the procedure and add some personal details for non italian mates:
1. Download and install .cab file.
2. Start application and set port (my Artemis default is COM4) and baud rate (my setting is 4800 but 56000 works too).
3. Place your device in a good position for gps fix (open air possibly, not under trees, not close to tall walls,buildings..).
4. Click Open and wait 10 sec.
5. Choose Clear Memory from the scroll-down menu.
6. Click Nav. Init.
7. Wait at least 5 min.
8. Click Close and wait 10 sec.
9. Close application, turn off the device and remove battery.
10. Wait 10 min.
11. Put battery back on, restart device, start HTC GPS TOOL.
12. Check the correct port and baud rate.
13. Click Open and wait 10 sec.
14. Choose Warm Start from the scroll-down menu.
15. Click Nav. Init.
16. Be patient (can take up to 10 min.), relax watching the Satellite Tab and wait for a fix (satellites will turn to green and you'll hear a beep).
17. Click Close and wait 10 sec.
18. Soft-reset your device.
19. Start your favourite GPS application and enjoy LIGHTSPEED FIX!!
Thanks&Greetings to fAnThaMaN.
Feedback will be appreciated aswell as an explanation of what really this procedure does to improve GPS performance so much..if anyone has suggestions..As far as i can understand it clears GPS memory and sets a Warm start..Anyway all the above mentionned waiting times of the procedure (except step 16...) can be drastically reduced if your time is gold

I've found this app over here and tried the gps again. Seems that this one senses some movement over the GPS. I am trying to follow the tutorial but i get this error. What should i do ?

I am now back home, turned on AGPS and iGO8 and all my other GPS related apps do not get any satellite locks, I left iGO8 running for 30 minutes and still no locks.
I turned off AGPS and iGO8 found them within 10 seconds.
For me this is working. It maybe worth a try.
Still having problems with the gps...
Seems that i can;t get it working
I had similar problem with Asus A696. One day, it saw satellites (red bars in iGo or proper GPS receiver on in GPSTest), but without positioning.
It was dead amplifier (unfortunately) so if nothing else will help, I'd send it to HTC back...
Why is it apps like Google maps etc allow the phone to goto sleep.
Surprised they don't have the option to prevent this?
I am going to have an accident while re-swyping the phone as the screen dimm's again.
The navigation app doesn't allow the phone to go into sleep for me. Maybe it's because I always have external power when I use it, but I don't think so.

i can confirm that the nav application doesn't sleep on my HD2.. so must be the settings on your phone?
I've been using co-pilot now for a few days and given the navigation system in the Android build a go to, mine does sleep when I'm just viewing the streets and haven't activated any sort of navigation route, but when I enter a destination, it stays active, so as stated above, it could be within your settings perhaps.
