I asked it before, so here I go again.
For 4 weeks now I'm trying to get f.... TT5 working on my wizard,I'm using a nokia LD-3W receiver. I've tried all the comments, suggestions, tweaks available on this site, but it's still not working.
Who can help.
Everything is connecting, pairing etc. Also other available Gps software is not able to connect to this receiver. Again the question: what to do next.
......Stupid enough I even bought the official software...
what isn't it doing?
does it load at all?? does it not see the BT GPS reciever?? does it not find the maps/voices?
The receiver is paired and connected either to com 6 or 7. I also tried the GPS settings.
TT5 is starting and running, but it's not connecting to the receiver, although it blinked (blue) when pairing. Also it worked twice for several days but decided to stop working again. Because I expected this I backed-up the registry (when it was working) and restored it, nothing.
I updated my ROM in any version available, also nothing.
Is there a registry setting I missed ? Or something else I didn't do ?
have you set the phone to have an 'Incoming Port' for the GPS on 6 or 7?

Yes there is! While hooked up to your pc using a/s 4.2, go to explore>windows mobile device>program files>navigator ,and copy the navigator .cfg file to your desktop. Now open it with WORDPAD (NOT NOTEPAD), and change the com port to whichever one you used earlier (com 6 or com 7) and copy it back to the device folder (navigator) that you copied it from.
I did that and it works perfectly.......P.S. I found that post using a remarkable little item called "search"......LOL :wink:
But really, try this...it works.
Later....... 8)
Did that and Tried that, also found that, like I said before I tried almost everything I found in this forum.
TT5 is setup for the same port as the gps is setup in comm manager. Everything looks like ist should work, it even did 2 times.
The receiver even reacts when I pair it, but it doesn't when tt5 is connecting with it.
Would be nice if one of you experts could help me with this
Don't know if the wizard works in the same way as the universal, but try switching your phone on before starting tomtom. I spent ages trying to get my universal to work before spotting this hint on o forum somewhere. Also give it a minute or two to work.
Hope this helps.
TT5 + bluetooth
make sure you have the following set:
1. GPS icon has to be enabled in settings (look for the reg tweak)
2. Use the #1 to select WM5 to manage GPS automatically.
3. Make sure to set "outgoing port" if you GPS is on 6 set the port to 7
4. In tomtom select port 7.
5. Make sure you're using TT 5.21 or above.

Cranny, I'm not English so maybe I understood your post in correct. If not.........
Gene, yes I did this also, this also doesn't help. I think the receiver is not ok but I need to find some way to prove that. It is pairing, therefore connecting but not starting if I switch on and connect TT5.
Could it be it's stuck in a powersave mode or something ?
Google Maps is timing out and not displaying any imagery. It gives the following error “You must install a new version to use this program” I have version 1.2.0.18 installed which I think is the latest version of the tool. I tried installing via direct download through my device and *.cab file, both methods yielded the same results.
I started to think might be due to my network connection using MediaNet. I’m not sure if I should use “AT&T ISP” connection instead (I don’t know those settings are).
New AT&T Tilt user, device is just few days old
It, 1.2.0.13 works fine on my vario III. I can tell which room of my house I am in. Have you tried using it over wifi, this would show if it is your network settings that are out of whack.

Can you provide the Cab file for that version?
I can get it to initialize GPS but it doesn't get sattelites. (v1.2.0.18)
if you are trying to get GPS to work you either not to use a nother app to start the GPS or go into th settings and change it to look through com4 and baud rate of 4800
also the proper cab file should say compressed in the title
thats some weird stuff, never had a problem with gmaps on my tilt...try doing a hard reset and reinstalling and let us know how it goes (hard reset = (while the phone is on) press both soft keys simultaneously and take your stylus and insert it into the reset hole in the bottom, right above the miniusb connection)
Got it working....
Did a hard reset, stopped AT&T's customizations.
Now everything works. I have Visual GPS mapped to PTT & GoogleMaps mapped to PTT (Press & Hold).
I know it ain't the best for GPS but it's free and will do until I decide on which software to buy.
Like I said you don't have to start VisualGPS to get the GPS started with Google maps as long as you go into the settings and change it from Automatic to manual and then change the com port and buad rate My works great and is 1000 times faster than Windows Live maps which i think sucks personally
Same but different problem....
So google maps works, track location works well for about 5 minutes and stops. It says it's still seeing the birds but the flashing blue dot just wont move. Sure I turn "track location" off and then back on, it then works for another 5 minutes....
So do we think it's a H/W or a S/W issue?
gd evening all,
I need your help:
2 days ago, i was using my gps with 2 differents softwares (MioMap + BeelineGPS) i use for months , gps worked flawlessly as usual.
Then I decided to try a new soft and have installed: Google Navigator.
Google Navigator was freezing for a few seconds each time i touched a menu or anything, so i closed the program.
Since then, my GPS receiver isn't working anymore. NO program could find the gps anymore.
I suspected correctly Google Navigator messing up with the parameters of the GPS receiver (Start Menu > Settings > System > External GPS).
Indeed, GPS Program port was changed to 'none', and hardware gps to COM4 (gps access IS checked still to "Manage GPS automatically").
By memory, i remember that GPS program port should be COM4 abd Hardware gps port to none. (just the opposite of the settings i had). So i put the settings back as it.
Now :
-BeelineGPS seem to be able to "see" the gps. However, it sees NO satellites (nomally it sees some satellite and then try to calculate the first fix... but here... it doesn't see any sattellite, so can't even start calculating a fix!).
-Miomap freeze at startup now (complete freeze) , probably because of this gps issue.
-and last but not least : GPS light on the kaiser is RED (was it always red ??? i don't think so.) It s the red light at the most right of the lights row that is blinking red when launching any gps program.
Is there any other setting somewhere that this Google navigator could have messed up with ?? (a registry maybe ??) (I ve uninstalled Google Navigator , problem is still there)
Any help PLEASE, thank you, and happy new year all.
UP
I need ur help.
Can anybody tell me AT LEAST if my settings are correct for the 3 tabs of "external gps" ?
Just writing down the solution for other people who might have this problem in the future (can avoid a hard reset!)
Apparently Google Navigator changed also the registry "InterfaceType" :
I had
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\GPSOneDevice]
"InterfaceType"="COMM"
changed it now to
"InterfaceType"="POLL"
And here it works immediately !! got a fix in 15 seconds.
that simple
Thanks for posting the solution to your problem.
I will admit that I have not tried too many bits of software yet on the GPS port, but if all else failed then I would be tempted to do a hard reset and not install the problem bit of software again.
Next time someone has this issue they can search the threads and find this one and get it sorted
Pat yourself on the back for getting it right
I Have a similar problem with Google Navigator.
Just like you, everything was working fine until i installed Google navigator and my GPS doesnt work at all.
I read your post and noticed however that you had slightly different changes than i have.
My "InterfaceType"="POLL" stayed the same didnt change and i still cant get the GPS to work.
Please help!!
OK I finally got my GPS working. I searched and searched and realised that Like you, the registries were changed by Google Navigator.
I went through all off them and found two that were off and changed them.
DO NOT INSTALL GOOGLE NAVIGATOR.
Other than changing your registry values, it it slow as hell, nealry freezes your phone and its completly useless.
STAY AWAY

this tip was a lifesaver for me! thanks bro!!
i dont know which software messed up my registry settings (maybe gpsid tool floating around the net, or maybe one of the gps nav software i installed - mapking, mgmaps, google maps - BUT after changing the registry value back to POLL, everything works (including quickgps, which was refusing to accept any xtra.bin file)
THANKS ONCE AGAIN!

Did you, by chance, ever use Map4PDA? I had posted awhile back about Map4PDA killing the GPS in my Tilt. Twice, even. I advised anyone and everyone never to use that program until it is updated. I'm wondering if that program made the same reg change because after I used Map4PDA, I could not get my GPS working until I hard reset. Many other people had the same issue as me.

no i havent tried map4pda - i think the culprit in my case was either MAPKING or an older version of GPSID (i'm using a tytn2 with wm6 and that has its own control panel app for assigning virtual com ports to the inbuilt gps)
in any case, that simple registry change saved me from a hard reset!

Can you tell which were the two modified registries modified to "off", how you identified them and what was the changes you applied instead "off"?
Thanks.
I purchased my HTC Touch Diamond few days ago and I have the following problems:
Item 1:
After testing several programs (Tomtom7, googlemaps, etc.) internal GPS has never work.
QuickGPS works ok (because in reality only uses the data connection).
The phone was originally with ROM 1.37.456.2, and I also tried with Elite 1.0 ROM. With both ROMs internal still do not work.
Any suggestion?
Item 2:
When I receive a call usually the "Answer" button is pressed in the case involuntarily. Thus the call is answered without knowing it.
Is there any way to minimize this problem?
Of course I appreciate any suggestions.
Ricardo from Uruguay.
Do you have A-GPS (Assisted GPS) enabled with AdvancedConfig ?
If so, disable it.
Very strange...
Can you give us your Radio version ?
Did change something ont the GPS settings ?
Please find the solution at my post

GPS doesn't work
I have Agps Disable.
I have already done many Hard Resets.
Now I am using "HTS GPS Tool". In the setting tab aI can see a lot of information coming, but Satellites used is 0.
Of course no other navigation software is working.
Do you recommend any other ROM?
Thanks in advace for any suggestion.
Ricardo.
I have the same problem
I have AGPS disable
The first time, i run my tomtom 6, it works very well, after i reboot my diamond, it doesnt work any more, i wait all the time for the signal GPS
I use the original ROM, but i dont think it is the ROM problem
This is a common problem.
Don't bother messing around with settings it wont work, just do a hard reset and the GPS should come back

everybody do that ?
If your programs wont access GPS, and you get no GPS by altering the 'external GPS' to com port 4 (program) and Com 0 or 2 (hardware) and ticking the 'let windows manage GPS' box, then GPS will not appear unless you do a hard reset

so, do u mean that, one time i do a soft reset, then a hard reset have to be done for GPS?
My Diamond once lost the ability to get any GPS signal, but this is how I fixed it...
1. Go to "externalGPS" then "Access" tab then Untick the checkbox then hit ok
2. Turn the device off
3. Turn it back on then tick the checkbox then hit ok
It should now find a signal (May take about 2 mins the first time)
I've spent hours reading every thread on here and other forums about GPS not working and changing every com port in gps manager, and nothing worked.
Its just so much quicker to do a hard reset.
Don't waste your time. If you can't get GPS back by changing the com port settings a couple of times, then don't mess with it all night. Do a hard reset and get on with your life
I had similar issues. Seemed to get solved for me by repeatedly selecting and uselecting the "Use GPS" in Google maps. Not sure if it's the same issue but it solved it in my case.
My gps stopped working, too. When I pleaded for help here, Akito gave me this solution:
"The HTC GPS tool is for download at http://rapidshare.com/files/84815853...C_GPS_TOOL.cab and it's discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477 .
In the first screenshot in that thread you can see a drop-down box which says "hot start". What I do is to first click the button "open"... then in the tab "sattelite" my problem gets confirmed (can't see any sattelite then). I go back to the first tab, I click the drop-down box, select "cold start", click Nav. Init. click the button close and immediatly open.... et voila, it works again. Sounds quite complicated, however once you've done it a 1st and 2nd time, it's a piece of cake lol"
It worked immediately. Try it - and you will send the kindest thoughts to Akito, too.
When I used HTC tool, the only port that could be opened was port 3 and 7. After opening either of these, when I pressed INIT, I got the response "Unable to Send NMEA command"
So there was definitely some problem with the GPS being "seen"

I've tried everything and I don't want to do a hard reset. Currently it won't let me use my gps, i tried download quick gps and that didnt change anything, I tried changing around the com ports, it just never worked since the start.
gps tool says
Fix not available for gnss dop and active satlaties
GPS fixed data says lattitude and longitude of a bunch of 0's
I see a bunch of red dots when I click on satelites? but it also says mode 2: fix not availible on the bottom of that screen
Try flashing the radio with the same version you use now. It's an effective way of resetting the GPS. Has worked for me before. Actually as late as yesterday
just tried the quadband radio update and it didn't work

Have you installed VOIP , that killed my gps?
I am also having the same problem, If i use the GPS tool or similar it can see 2 or 3 satalites but does not ever get a fix, really annoying!!!
Can anyone confirm for me if i should have assisted gps enabled or disabled (keep reading mixed info so i dont know if this works or not)
Many thanks
Paul
I had problems with the GPS too but now works great.
1) go outside !
2) disable A-GPS features ( Parameters -> Advanced GPS ), you can try to re-enable it later
3) let window Manage GPS ( Parameters -> GPS (third tab) -> check Let windows manage...)
4) launch HTC GPS Tool ( you will find links in the forum, search for this tool)
5) Open the right Port (as configured in Pameters -> GPS (first tab) )
6) Wait !!! ( for me it takes between 1 and 2 minutes to have a fix when outside )
k so i tried that, disabled a-gps, soft-booted device, checked settings in control panel (com 4, non, 4800, windows managed). Loaded gps tool stood outside and have 10 mins i can see the satalites but it is not locking or fixing my position. I also notice that on the satalite view i can see 5 red bars then they disappear for a few seconds then come back again, is this normal
Ok i never saw Red bars
only grey when no fix and blue when get a fix.

You have to hard reset your phone, believe me it's works after that. Some peeps had the same problem.
Yep, tried that too,, did hard reset this morning after reading that it works on another thread. Still nothing,
I am using TLR V3 Firmware and the 025 radio.
I am using the same radio as you though with elite 3.0. I haven't managed a fix yet, not with this or dutty's v2 with its included radio.
with the stock rom and 0.9 radio I could get a fix fine.
I had exactly the same problem as this on my kaiser. bloody annoying and not a problem I ever experiencd with my n95. perhaps it is something to do with nokia testing their products properly, who knows.
try this,
Advance your clock so that quickgps gets outdated, update quickgps
put back the clock to the correct time, quickgps will get outdated again, dont update quickgps, try to get a fix, will take sometime cause the GPS is cold booted now
then update quickgps after that

Where is this parameters and advanced gps tab?
Thanks for the advise i tried it but still nothing.
In GPS tool i can see lots of satlites but it will not get a fix and along the bottom of the screen i have about 5 red bars (i guess these are the satalites it is talking to)
this is getting really frustrating as i want to use this device as my sat nav, I will buy tomtom once i know it is working but i dont want to if it is going to be a waste of money
Paul
YAY I Got it Fixed
HI
Thanks again for everyone who has replied to help out with this. I have managed to find a fix.
I found this thread over at expansys
http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?k=100176
Installed the piece of software discussed in this thread, it looked at the gps and reported that it is acutally running at 9600 baud, the peice of software also picked up a fix in less than 30 seconds,
So i loaded up HTC GPS tool, set it to comm 4, 9600 and started in in hot start mode, stright away i get a fix.
Now i am really happy
