Australia d810 how do i get TomTom working

Hi I have a dopod D810 i would like to know how you get the gps working on this model, can someone please help me
I did upgrade rom to 1.23.707.6 and install a TomTom program but it still looks for gps device
does the D810 have a device built in
has anyone done this Thanks
cheers

tomtom works on my aussie D810 with the same rom...
I set the GPS reciever to other NMEA GPS reciever.
coldstart it can take a minute or more to find the signal.
try standing outside in a area with a good wide view of the sky, or even driving round.

Depending on the version of/locked files (Search forum) TOMTOM, you might need to configure it each time.
In 6.02 and below you need to select the NEMA (or whatever its called).
In 6.03 they have a selection of inbuilt GPS device. I Found 6.03 much less hassle to be honest.

how do i get 6.03 please
how do i get 6.03 please

to get tomtom 6.03 update go to the following site and follow their instructions...

NOTE: you will need reactivation of your maps after this upgrade to 6.03

Are you outside with clear view to the sky? Wait 15 Minutes there! It WILL work.

You're on the right track with GPS on COM9 if you are not using version 6.03. If you get as far as "No valid GPS signal" message then that means your GPS receiver is tracking satellites ok and you're just not getting a GPS fix. I had the exact same problem as you.
1) Just restart your d810 (stylus into the small hole on the underside of your dopod )
2) Start your TomTom and use the same setup as you did before with NMEA.
3) Select GPS on COM9
4) When you get the "No valid GPS signal" message stand outside where there is lots of open sky (if you're in the city... tough luck it would be really hard to get a GPS fix there).
5) Be prepared to wait for up to 15 minutes until you get a GPS fix. Mine took more than 10 minutes.

Got it working plus more
Thanks guys you have been a great help
i updated my tomtom software it was easy
as advised i went to here
http://www.tomtom.com/plus/service.php?ID=17
installed home software
then went to this site and followed its instructions
http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?FID=6736&Lid=1
and installed tomtom home plus on my computer
tomtom home is excellent for anyone that does not have it, its free and a must have.
tomtom home then updated all my software and gave me free some cool new stuff.
after this did as you said went outside three minutes it was up
thanks i hope this helps others
now if i can only try to see if i can modify my 838 to do this aswell
i know the 838's don't have gps connected inside unit but has anyone opened one up and connected it.
I currently have 4 brand new dopod 810s and 4 dopod 838's i will have to sell some as we just got given them and some people oready had them before we got given them.

they were given to you? wow! give them away too. throw one my way

Changing GPS
Can you change the GPS type once you have already installed it and it is running?

Are any of you guys with optus? I really want to wait for the official GPS rom from dopod but i dunno what these guys are doing, there has been all these claims of new roms coming out but no substance.
Which rom updates are you using? Any problems with the aussie networks?

Viperx,
Im using this rom. its the offical rom, but it hasnt been released on the dopod asia site for autralian customers as yet. I think I downloaded it from this forum ftp, cant recall now. works great with 3 so far, haven found any bugs. The only thing I fixed since the update was the bass (again that was found on this forum).
RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.23.707.6_6275_1.35.00.11_108_Ship.exe

i'm with optus
and i'm using the
RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.23.707.6_6275_1.35.00. 11_108_Ship.exe
ROM and it has been working fine

Where did you find the fix for the bass?

GPS help on Kaiser

Hi all,
I recently instaled WM 6.1 on my Kaiser. Except from some good things there are some bad ones. The worst one is a problem with GPS.
Software I use (IGo and Google Maps) can not detect GPS device.
Any solutions to this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mike

Need more details......

What ROM did you install? Does it or do you have QuickGPS or SeaSGEE installed? What device do you have?

Some ROMs and Radios have compatibility issues.
Quite possibly, it could be GpsGate if you have it output GPS data on the wrong port.
If you have GpsGate, uninstall it, soft reset the phone, and try again.
If you GpsGate isn't the issue, go to Settings -> Connections -> External GPS
and make sure you have "GPS program port" set to COM4.
Come to think of it, my GPS isn't working either Looks like I'm having the same problem as you.
I just solved it right now by doing a hard reset.

Sorry it took mie so long to asnwer but I was out on a trip with no access to info you guys asked for to help me solve my problem,
My device is HTC TyTN II Kaiser, bought not through some GSM company but with oryginal HTC setup (prior to this unlucky upgrade I made).
From Settings -> device information i can read the following info:
ROM version 3.03.405.0 WWE
ROM date 01/08/08
radio version 1.64.06.04
protocol version 25.70.40.02W
I did try to set the external GPS port in
Settings -> sytem -> external GPS (i have it here not in system -> connections)
i used the following settings
I used GPS program port: com4
GPS hardware port: none (when i try to set it to com0 or com1 it just gets changed to none once i close and reopen then window. baud rate 4800
access - anabled manage GPS automaticaly.
I do hope info you guys now have will make it possible for you to sugest some easy way to overcome this problem.
BTW - problem is that tom tom or i-go just do not detect GPS device.
as a supporting software I have Quick GPS which works ok - it downloads latest satelite data with out major problems.
Thanks for help in advance,
Mike

than there has to be something wrong w/ settings somewhere. if u had a faulty gps reciever than quickgps wouldn't work either.
try a hard reset and reinstall the nav programs.

Hi, I had the same problem but with TomTom Navigator on a Kaiser. I tried all setting possibilities but nothing helped. After a hard reset, it was OK with automatic settings, nothing to change. Hope it helps.

hmm i've used both tomtom and igo and havent had any problems...try disabling agps

Thx guys,
Not sure why I did not try it before but after your sugestions I just set all the settings to factory and it started working for both software.
I feel a bit stupid, sorry to waste your time and thx for help,

kaiser questions gps + rom

I have a Kaiser and i have a few questions
1. what is the best cooked rom for WM6.1+, i am using a WM6 Dutty's ROM, i haven't had any problems apart from streaming media has never worked and continues not to work.
e.g. the new BBC beta TV site will not even try to connect.
I need the Rom to work with t-mobile in the UK
2. the GPS when using something like google streetmaps is rubbish, the accuracy leaves a lot to be desired, and it constantly moans about the GPS not being connected or not working. Anyone got any ideas whats up with that.
Nothing else apart from that,
Thanks

You need to do your homework and go into each Rom thread..
I'm actually headed there now.

Reversion was the solution for me

While it's great to see a new member here, apart from what ChumleyEX mentioned, you also need to search the Kaiser forums for threads relating to poor GPS with WM 6.1 'upgrades' such as the *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 Update?
23 page thread. I've gone back to WM 6.0 for excellent GPS performance as the official ROMs were poor (here in the UK) in that regard. Don't know if any cooked WM 6.1 ROMs are up to the same level of GPS performance as my current setup but I doubt it.

Ok thanks for the reply.
My question about the Roms was merely to ascertain what version actually works well rather than opinions, but if as you say the GPS isn't all that great then it may not be worth upgrading yet.
It works OK when using the TomTom software, but does take an age to find a connection. Its not a deal breaker but it would have been nice to resolve.

It's not just me that finds the HTC Official WM 6.1 ROMs to be appauling for GPS, read that thread I've linked to and you'll see it's widespread. My setup often takes about 15 ~30 seconds for a cold satelite lock in Tomtom Navigator 6.032 whereas under the latest (and supposedly greatest) HTC WM 6.1 WWE ROM it was minutes (if at all).

The ROM I use works just fine for GPS.

gps not connecting :/

hi, i've got a problem :/ I have Kaiser and my gps can't connect :/ it's still "searching for gps..." my radio is: 1.65.16.25. Maybe somebody help what is wrong with this. Thanks a lot!

just to give you some tips:
port that should work is port 4 and the baud rate : 9600.
it will take like easy 7 minutes before it finds some satellites..
this is the a problem or an issue that is difficult to solve, but if you wana read more on this and how to enhance your GPS with different tools like , quick GPS, HTC GPS Tool ..etc. ..
check this |ink: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477
I have tried Tomtom and IGO , both of them are to slow in finding satellites...
let us know if this worked for you!
waiting for better solution..

I have Garmin XT on mine and I have a similar problem. I will be tracking fine, then it will say GPS OFF. and then it will come back on a few minutes later.

GPS... omg please help me here

Hello to all you guys are my last hope or I will just sell my tytn even if i don't want to.
My only problem is with the gps it simply dosent connects, and yes I have red several threads on it here still I have no solution. On the hardware tab in External gps settings I cant change either the port either the bud rate. I have pre-installed iGO 8, google maps, turbo gps and the geocashing software but none of them work.
SO please pretty pretty please if someone can give me a real answer how to fix it- do so. I really do not want to sell my phone (if i even can with not working gps)
P.S. I am using the latest shifu ROM

Isn't GPS junk with 6.5?

I finally got it!?!
The right settings for the tytn gps are
Hardware port com4
Bud rate 57600 (some software works with smller but this is the best)
You can not change it trough the WM it is fixed, you shud change the settings in the software you are using IGo, TomTom etc...
