Anyone with a GPS enabled Trinity in Canada? Cant get satellites

Im stumped. I upgraded the rom, and tried 3 different programs, and none can even get a single satellite, after about 10 minutes in a pretty open space.
TomTom detects GPS on COM9, and it says "No Valid GPS signal" (Instead of no GPS device if its changed to another port) while it keeps searching.
PocketStreets tells me "the communication (COM) port is available but no signal is being received. Make sure the GPS receiver is turned on and connected to the correct port".
My GPS program port is set to GPD8, Hardware Port to COM9 and Baud rate to 115200.

try these setting in your gps settings
hardware port: none
gps program port: com9
baudrate: 4800
and same for tt
worked for me (default didn't)

Nope, that didnt work either.

try disabling incoming beams

Not sure what that was suppose to do... but it didn't help.

Are you by any chance located in the downtown core? I have an upgraded htc 3600 and it works really well in the GTA, well the east side of gta anyway(from toronto center to durham region). But sometimes I am having trouble getting signal at the downtown core, university and elm, bay and dundas, union station, etc...

I'm out in Vancouver, and having set the GPS up today I find it to be fantastic - first experience with a GPS device and it works wonderfully.
I'm using iGuidance, and it shows me routinely with 6 or 7 out of 9 satellites.

Im in the west end, right by high park. I was also downtown, and had no luck there either.

Tomtom GPS won't lock on - no matter what!

No matter what I try!
I got a new XDA Stellar from the O2 network in the UK, I can use Google Maps (although it says im a few streets away from my current location) and can go on the internet with it fine, just cant get a signal on TomTom
I have tried using 'Other NMEA Receiver', 4800 Baud and COM4 but it still doesn't work, I have also tried choosing all the other baud rates, leaving it in my back garden for hours at a time but it will not get a signal, tried uninstalling Tomtom and reinstalling it, all the phones GPS settings are set to default. I have installed a program called GPSGate which finds a GPS signal and locks on to it but still the Tomtom doesn't work
I am starting to think that it may be the ROM/Radio that needs upgrading but I am reluctant to do so as it's a company mobile and I wouldn't want anything to go wrong during the process, also I am from the UK and I haven't seen many ROM's from users in the UK
Please help!

GPS Settings!!!

Hey i was wondering what are the best GPS settings for my Tilt. At the moment my external gps settings are set at COM4 and Baud Rate at 4800. I have no clue what any of that means but i would like to know what it means? is it the best settings for the phone? are there better settings? will changing the settings screw something up? The reason im asking is because if im in my house or somewhere that is more then 5 feet away from the window or any opening i do not get any gps signal. I was wondering if there are settings that will make the signal stronger. Thanks

This is just the way the program will talk to the GPS unit to get info from it. COM4 is the port, needs to be this to connect to the GPS, and 4800 baud is just a comminication rate that is a thing from the past, you can use anything here and technically it won't change a thing.
Some users reported at some point that using some baudrates would give better results than others, but there's no logical explanation to it and I can't see any differece on mine, so I guess it's mostly a coincidence if there was really a difference.
Not having GPS signal inside is normal, and will vary with the construction of the house and GPS satellite coverage (changes with time of day).

[Q] Is anyone able to locate yourself with GPS alone?

With data from network I can identify the location instantly. However, if I uncheck "Use wireless network", I have never located myself on Googles Maps. Is it a defect on the GPS?
Thanks in advance!

Google maps doesn't includes world map installed, it only store some caches.. you still need network to download map data & network based location, GPS is used for more accurate result & yes it's true p970 gps is not so good.

Thanks for your help! In fact, I already have cache of Google Maps, then turn off the wireless connection, to figure out the performance of the GPS alone. It sucks!
BTW, I used HTC Touch before and its GPS could identify the location very quickly.

have you test with the GPS fix (in hidden menu) ?

Actually you are wrong, GPS in very good in OB.
I used it for a trip of 700 KM and it has difficulty only the first time when it aquires a position (this is normal if you don't use AGPS) like 3-4 minutes...
On the road I turned off GPS by simply locking the screen (IGO8), and on relaunch the GPS position will not take more than 30 seconds. I don't have any data on my contract so it was purely GPS!
The first time it's normal to take a very long time because a large number of sattelites have to be aquired to for pin-point accuracy. Afterword I think it works with 2-3 visible sattelites!
My previous phone was a HTC Diamond, and it was exactly the same if I dind't used the GPS app every day that downloaded sattelites in advance.

It works but it's slow (as it should be). For me it's around 1 minute in hidden menu. Best place for testing outside hidden menu is Compass app (If you don't have data connection for maps)
For hidden menu:
1. Go into the LG hidden menu (3845#*970#)
2. Go into GPS Test
Test it (you need activated GPS of course)
if it's really slow, try this (I think it's if you use network to pinpoint but everyone is suggesting it, so I will too)
1. Go into System Settings
2. SULP Setting -> SLP Server Setting
create new:
Nokia (slp address: supl.nokia.com, port: 7275, no cert and no TLS setting)
If it still doesn't work, try other variants (LGE SUPL, Spirent, etc).

Thanks everyone!
It works now! The. GPS is quite sensitive!
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

In the gps test in the hidden menu, there's not such option as gps fix.
Me too, I'm interested in using my gps without the assistance of the network cells. I've already tried the three supl servers and it doesn't seems to work for me. So, if someone knows how to use it without network assistance I'll be really grateful.
Thanks in advance.

It should work out of the box.. afaik, you don't need to mess with the SLP servers unless you are using some sort of assisted GPS mode (with wifi or 3g connection). I'm using it straight out of the box (after installing the fresh firmware) and it works normal in the car (1-2 minutes first fix, a couple of seconds for any other subsequent fix). Getting a first fix while on foot does take a bit longer, but that's true with all the other non-android devices I've had. the OB has normal (no more, no less) sensitivity when it comes to GPS.

i think there it`s a problem in OB mine has problems with gps too , and already o try`d all kind of apps and even use the gps standalone from the fresh new update soft and nothing , fix the gps for the first time and after then i can`t travel with standalone gps

[Q] Get many satellite ,but GPS locate so a long time

Hi!
I use Topogigi 2.0, sp1, sp2 and sp3 with Neoblaze kernel ,and finish GPSFIX.
My setting about gps.conf is below:
NTP_SERVER=tw.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.nokia.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
And my setting about GPS test (1809#*990# Hidden Menu)
MOLR Protocol = User Plane
SULP Setting part
SLP Server = Nokia (port 7276) without TLS Setting
SLP Auto Provision is on
Misc. = Auto Cold Start is on
Get Position setting part
Session type = Tracking
Open Mode = MS-Based
That's all about my GPS setting.
When I open GPS , it can get 5~7 satellites in 10~15 seconds.
But it finished locating in few minutes ,not in few seconds.
Before flash this rom ,I can get GPS position in less than 1 minute.
So I think some settings I have problems or need to fix.
Thank you!

I can quickly get many satellites, but finish position need to take a long time.
It's about wifi or 3G network?

It's Wifi, you can't lock satellites while Wifi is on.
Have you tried to turn GPS on, then reboot your phone? It works for some people, and then you have to leave your GPS on, it dosn't drain battery as long as no app is using it.
