Hi There
Just trying to get my Internal GPS going. I have read the best port to chose from would be 4 and with 4800 Baud.
However I cannot get the GPS to stick to the settings I give it.
Can someone give me the lowdown as to how to get this
GPS working, the only thing I can think of is that the GPS setup says 'External GPS' which would suggest its looking for a bluetooth pairing, so does that mean the internal GPS does not need setting up, I just have to enter Com4 4800 Baud and the Internal GPS kicks in. Its just that Com 4 isn't available to select from on TT or my other GPS programs.
I have tried setting it up with other Com ports both Hardware and Program but to no avail. the Program Port is fine but my Hardware port still wont stick. ?
Thanks in advance for your help

My Tytn II is working with TT6 on COM 4 and BAUT 9600. This I selected in TT6 under other NMEA GPS. But it also works with the build in option of TT

I have a very funny problem with the GPS of my Kaiser
ROM: Dutty's Touch
.NET Compact Framework - 3.5.7283.0
I have no problem using Google earth with GPS and it works perfectly.
I even tried using Nav4all and it work pretty good.
But that's it. After this no other GPS software is able to configure GPS on this. I have tried Efficasoft GPS utils, Tracky Pro, Mapking and many others, but they don't seem to work. I have tried using all the COM ports and it doesn't work. On COM7 however it takes a long time to figure it out that it is not working. I even tried all the baud settings.
On trackypro, on com 7 - for a brief interval it says connected and then it says GPS error. Can someone think of something on this.

Same here... and make sure you're selecting the correct type of GPS in the configurations.. eg. in TOMTOM, GPS = other NMEA bluetooth device (or something like that)..

In TomTom it's enough to select Built-in, it detects the GPS correctly (at least in my case)

Interesting.. what version of TOMTOM do you use? I have 6.032 and there is no "Built in" option, so I have to use the one I mentioned...

Com 4 & Baud Rate 4800 I believe, not 9600.

Hi,
I've a HTC Diamond, UK version with the following rom:
1.35.401.3 WWE
30-05-2008
0.93.25.NS26
52.26.25.09H
I've try install different versions of tomtom, actually the 6.32, but impossible to detect the integrated gps... I've only bluetooth, wired and Others NMEA...
I've try all Bauds settings possibles on NMEA but noone work...
Any solution plz? I've 1 day for decide if I buy this Diamond for replace my Touch Cruise or not... And i want be sure the GPS is working...
Plz if you know, say me how can i have this gps working with tomtom...
Maybe an other rom? If yes wich? Or a special version of TomTom? Or any fix?
choose: other nmea gps
COM 4
baudrate works with 9600
(other may also work)
then you need to have "waiting for gps signal" in gps status
grtz
I can't chose the port... Only the baud rate...
And i have "not gps device found" always
i use 6.030.
in other postst you can find more information about used versions
I've try this version too but same problem... any idea?
you can check the settings from you internal gps receiver.
settings->external gps
you find there 3 pages with settings(com port etc)
yes
Programs: Ports: COM 4
Hardware: Port: None, Baud rate: 4800
But if i change anything, i click ok and come back, it is back to default value... I can't set 9600 Baud or other value... if i click ok and enter again in external GPS options, it's back to 4800...
This mobile does really have GPS??? I'ts not writed in the box and in the manual too... I see nothing about GPS... The manual is very little and the box is a "diamond looking box"...

offcourse it has gps. everybody is using it.
you do not need to change the settings in extarnal gps.
just open up tomtom, choose other nmea gps, 4800 baud and com 4.
i have tomtom 6.010 (i do not know what the newer versions have different)
and it works very good.
Strange because nothing say in the box or manual that it got gps... And it's not detected by tomtom...
Any idea??? Tommorow i have to give the diamond back or keep it so i've to decide today... And i want a mobile with gps working...

you can also use google maps. that has a gps function.
But google maps need to connect via gprs someitmes and that isn't totally free... I want a totally free use gps... Not a "net depending" gps...

just for testing purposes!!
or use this program
http://gps.pdatopsoft.com/download/?pid=11555
install it, and it will look for your gps unit.
it will be installed under programs > gps test
Lol don't ask me how and why but i've hard reset the phone and reinstall tomtom, and now i've the choice of port and baud... I've chose 4800 baud and port com 4 and it works... lol
[ironic mode ON]So it seems like Diamond has GPS although it is not writen in the box...[/ironic mode OFF]
Bye
I have to say I was dubious when reading the specs too, as they say 'GPS and A-GPS Ready' - which normally leads you to believe that you need another bit of kit to use them.
Then I found confirmation - and was happy to order the phone.
QuickGPS
I order to get a good working signal start the program QuickGPS, download in this program the latest gps file from server.
Start Tom-Tom and use the settings mention above:
choose other nmea gps,
4800 baud and
com 4.
Be sure to stay outside free to air and you get your signal in about 30 to 45 seconds.

And that's all. good explanation. i did the same and working. But why doesn't detect integrated antena like kaiser? any answer...
Do you guys have the following problem?
When I open the settings of the gps, inside the phone's settings, I try to change the settings, but when I press "ok" it doesn't save the changes. For example, if I change the baud rate from 4800 to 33600 and press ok, if I immediatly open it again, the setting goes back to 4800 again.
This happens also if I change the COM port from "none" to other.
Having "Manage GPS automatically" under "Access" tab activated or not, doesn't make a diference.

Hey guys i used to have Duttys old rom back from oct 2007. I configured my Tom Tom and worked great. A month ago i reflashed with a new rom and for some reason TT6 doesnt work anymore.. Weird thing is it tries to connect to internet all the time (it never used to do it before on old rom).
I checked the wicki and used com 4 and com 9. I used baud rate of 4800 and 9600. I tried com 4 and com 9 in external gps (under settings) it doesnt seem to work.
You have to user other NMEA correct? - Thats the only way i get the GPS blinking lights.. it starts to connect to internet.. then says cant establish connection to internet (eventhough 3g is working) and then just stay there (waiting for GPS to aquire lock).
FYI i ran Quick GPS before i started tom tom
Any help appreciate it
What if you use something like google maps. You need to verify that the problem is with Tom tom and not the phone. Easiest way is to get rid of tomtom and see if the gps no workie.
Baud rate
Personnaly I use IGO baud rate something aroud 36000
And it works well
I've try with 4800, nothing ...

Never had it work at 36000 WOW !!
Is 'the accessing the internet' being caused by A-GPS (Assisted GPS) ? This can be disabled.
Note, My TT uses COM4
Isn't this the bug that when you changed some settings with the internal gps (with the kaiser menu not TT btw) you had to hard reset you're Kaiser?
I know I had to do that because of my early rom experiments with GPS. I changed the com4 to com9 and it wouldn't set back.
I'm hoping for you it's not the same..
Hi all,
I have a new Diamond from Orange in France and have troubles using my GPS module since it isn't found in a single program.
Now from the artemis I know that there was a different version in France then in the rest and we needed an adapted version of the GPS driver. Is this the case with the Diamond too?
I actually use the duttys rc2 2.7 version ROM and tried visual gps or tomtom6 and 7 with no result. There is no way I can get them to find a gps module.
So may be some one ha a clue??
Thx.
Finally I made the GPS work with Visual GPS on the com port 4 and 9600baud but in Tomtom7 there is a satellite fix in the gps settings but on the main page it says no gps module or sometimes it says waiting for a valid signal and then goes back to no gps hardware....
Any ideas. I have tried with internal or other nmea settings and it both gets the same result.
Regards J.
My Diamond also not found GPS on auto detect. It needs a manual setting of the COM4 with 4800 or 9600 baud.
also to set: Start > settings > system > external GPS => programs => GPS software Port to COM4
To find the satellites it needs some times. But before the GPS program can work with the satellites it also need some times, to get the satellite datas.
Thx,
I did that alreagy, but I can only configure the program/software port since the Hardware settings are always getting back to zero...
And with these settings Tomtom7 is kinda erratic.....
Ignore the hardware Port. Set the hardware port to NONE. (My device set Hardware port automatic to none)
Only the Softwareport must set to COM4. This setting works fine.

This worked for me too, although settings were already there, just going into the setting and saving got it going.
Sigh...
I am running WM6.1 and I installed TomTom 6.32 last night before going to bed, I configured it and it worked fine. Then this morning I woke up and had to go out, so I thought I'd give it a test run to the supermarket but no GPS signal was detected, I tried to edit settings in GPSRoute but when I open the app I get the following error message:
Error
Switch to usb error
I press ok and load the app. Then I go to change com settings COM9: 11520 and when I press enable I receive the following error:
Open COM port failed(1)..
I also recieve this error when trying to change any COM ports and Baud rate.
Is there something wrong with my COM ports? Is there a way to reset them to default with out doing a hard reset?
Any help would be appreciated.
Before we get too deep into the problem. Did you do a soft reset?

To my knowledge internal GPS on Kaiser is COM port 4 and 9600

That is correct.
But as I said in my first post I can't edit settings in GPSRoute and in there the default Baud rate is 57600.
Last night GPS wasn't working and I read in other post that changing the COM port to 9 and Baud rate to 115200 fixed the problem and it did. But this morning nothing works and I am receiving errors.
What's "GPSRoute" and what does it have to do with Tomtom? you'd set the GPS properties directly in Tomtom...

Sorry GPSRouter*
It's in dutty's WM6.1 it sets up virtual ports for GPS to run off. And as for setting it up directly from the propities in TomTom I have selected "Built-in GPS receiver" ..There is no option to set COM ports .ect
i have also GPS problems, although i can get it to work, except it takes ages to find the satelites bij the GPS module.
Is there a way to fasten that? in wm6.0 it took about 15 seconds. in wm6.1 it takes about 10 minutes. I use the external Nmga GPS reciever, com 9 bautrate 4800. It works....but way to slow.
Isn't there some sort of patch the fasten teh finding of the satelites, so i an start navigating faster?
Thanx!

Hmm try increasing the Baut rate to 9600 and if it is still slow try 115200.
