TomTom & M700 probs (again) - P3600 Software Upgrading

I know this subject has been raised before but mine doesn't seem to respond to the usual solutions posted here and elsewhere.
I was running TomTom 6 and it stopped working after my phone was unlocked as they loaded an old radio ROM that did not have GPS enabled. They then re-flashed it with 1.38.00.11, which has GPS enabled, but when I select NMEA, I get a screen saying:
COM3:
GPS in COM9
COM7:
RIL on COM6
S2410 IRDA
and it just sits there only showing a Cancel option. I have left it like this for hours but it doesn't pick up a signal, regardless of where I am.
Os version: 19.123.1.615
ROM ver: 1.23.61.5
ROM date: 01/25/07
Radio ver: 1.38.00.11
Protocol ver: 32.71.7020.12H
I have done the regedit bit, enabled the GPS settings icon and tried COM8 as suggested elsewhere but still nfg. Now what?
Please bear in mind I am not very techie. All help much appreciated.

Doh! Didn't realise that simply tapping the screen accepted the NMEA device. It now works

I find that a bit hard to believe that his trinity comes with Sirf111 module, must have a special version.
I will still await afficial rom update

Just updated my p3600 with this rom and so far the gps seems to be working fine.... Yep I had to use the paid unlocker.
just to confirm GPS does work but it's definitely not as good as the P3300's GPS receiver
gps works here too.. had a HTC P3600 that I used the paid unlocker and flashed this rom on. So far so good. As far as accuracy i'm not one to ask as I'm not a GPS expert but it seems decent and i'm happy so far.

I TRIED TI INSTALL THIS ROM ON MY SPV M700 BUT IT's impossible
i have this message : ERROR 294 invalid VENDER ID
I've installed the ROM and enabled the Control Panel for GPS (Registry edit). It REALLY works. My GPS is on COM Port 9as stated. However, I don't have any GPS software and I'm using the Trial Version of Mapking G10 and it does fix and navigate!
GPS does work fine. I have tested with TomTom 6.x ( gps connection is configured as "BT GPS receiver, on port: COM9 GPS)
It takes longer time to recieve GPS fix then with SIRF III chipset driven GPS receiver. I had to wait for almost 6 minutes to receive GPS fix. Otherwise I have no issues so far with it.
Tested in Melbourne, Australia in build up area.
I didn't have to change / enable anything in registry. It workls out of the box. GPS chipset is initialised upron GPS connection request from navigation software (TomTom in my case).

Which one are u using? HTC p3600, Dopod D810, Dopod 9100 or others?
Have u unlock the cid ?
I cannot download. Any other link available? Does anybody knows if it will work on HTC P3600? (trinity100)
Could someone please explain step by step how its been done?
Far as I understood you used the Paid unlocker. What have you done exactly?
Afterwards your Trinity has a SuperCID? And you are able to flash the FW offered here?
Please give me a little help. I bricked a TyTn 3 Weeks ago and I cant brick that one too. Gets a little bit expensive.
unlocked device using the imei-check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291050
Once this was done device was superCID'd and I was able to just flash the firmware as normal.
So far I am very happy with the new firmware. It seems quicker.. and the GPS is working great. My initial fixes have been very rapid less than a minute. So far I am very impressed with the GPS feature (much better than I feared it would be) and doubt I will ever use my bluetooth SirfStarIII device again. Also the "E"dge Icon is now functioning under this ROM.

[SOLVED] GPS has stopped working - wtf is going on...?

Over the last few days I have noticed that my GPS is not really working anymore. I'm not sure if this is a result of some software I've loaded or whatever, but I've noticed a few people saying that they are no longer locking onto satellites and noone is really sure what they've done - although there is a thread about the new Clove extended battery and many have mentioned that it stops the GPS from working.
I'd like to get everyone who is having problems to post here please so we can try and work out what the cause is. Some have speculated that it could be the radio but I don't think it is, I've flashed every single radio available with no change...
When I first got my diamond, I was IMPRESSED at the speed and accuracy of the GPS. I would get locks in around 10-15 seconds and using TomTom 7 I found it to be extremely accurate with regards to my position on the map.
Now it SUCKS. The other day I drove and it took 18 minutes to get a fix. When it finally did I estimate it was between 50m - 100m inaccurate. Some kind of lag is going on.
As of the last two days, I cant even seem to track ANY satellites. Since then, like I mentioned I have tried every radio and still the situation remains bad.
- I'm running a cooked ROM based on the 1.93.xx.x. (Elite 3.0)
- Current radio is .11 which seems to work well for my push email. (.05 worked well too) Other than that over the last couple of days its just been push email, a few texts and calls and really nothing else special I'm doing with the device.
Can anyone having the same problems please post here with your ROM version and let us know what your experiences are.
Thanks.
I have the same problem
Rom 1.93 - swift.

I recently bought 'htc diamond'.
I have a doubt. GPS service is for 'FREE' or we have to pay?
My phone says 'GPS download valid: 4 days. It means i can download GPS for free until another 4 days? kIndly let me know I am a newbie.
thank you in advance

No.. Its just the GPS data thats used by the gps to get a quicker lock on the satelites.. Which then only saves you time.. It does not cost you anything besides the trafik it uses to update the data..

gps is for free, the "4 days" corresponds to the time which your device
has the almanach data for faster satellite lock in it's memory. after this time
quickgps will download the alamanach data for the next 7 days, and so on...
if you don't use this feature you still can use gps, but obtaining a fix will
take you a longer time!

I have noticed that it is also dependent on the Rom. I am into flashing different roms and have seen different behaviour of Gps with each rom.
But HARD reset is a must after each flash.
Let me know your findings.
Got my GPS working in TomTom..
Steps i took:
1: change in PPC the gps port to COM6 - So still at Baud 4800
2: TomTom - Gps configure - "Other NMEA GPS reciver" - Baud 4800 - "COM6"
3: Closed TomTom
4: changed in PPC the GPS port back to "COM4" - still baud 4800
5: TomTom - Gps configure - "Build in gps"
And done.
I have this problem- the GPS seems to get worse and worse after a hard reset or rom upgrade to the point where it won't lock on at all.
I have noticed that in TT7 a number of satellites are being found (in the gps menu)but they are greyed out. Despite this it just won't lock on however long i leave it.
I notized that I was sometimes unable to track any satellites because I swiched on "A-GPS" in the registry with some kind of editor. After switching it off the problem was gone.

Yes, Advanced Config destroy your GPS if you use it to turn on A-GPS.
Try reflashing the Radio with the same build as you are using already. It resets the GPS and did the trick for me.
How can you turn on A-GPS in the registry? Which key is it?
I have the same problems: when I use the GPS, it finds some satellites and not, and back it finds them, and not. When I use tomtom 6, the screen turns grey and colored every 5 sec., because it finds the satellites and not.
Sometimes it works good, but mostly not.
Can somebody help!!!

There is a little tool which is called "HTC GPS TOOL(S)", dont remember the exact name.. there you can search for satelites using the "cold start" option.. when some satelites are found, then push the "Nav. Init." buttion", dont close the program, just start TomTom and se if it did lock? .. Some reported this method working..

I did things a little differently to yourself, but certainly your general method has solved the problem!
Firstly, and I don't know if this is a result of the radio version I'm running but I only have COM4 and COM7. Running radio .11
Secondly, within TomTom I simply configured the GPS, I changed to other NMEA receiver, selected COM4, and Baud 4800, and then within about 10 seconds, I had a lock. This is after days of not getting a lock at all.
Restarted TomTom, switched back to 'Internal GPS Receiver' and almost instantly locked again.
Problem solved!
I had done many ROM updates and not noticed this effect, I believe now thinking back this must have been a direct result of updating the radio only from version .03 to .05
I will update the thread title.

GPS not working after 6.1 upgrade

I used the 6.1 upgrade posted here the other day -
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H
Everything has been working great except for GPS. I downloaded Google Maps and it worked previously with the 'Managed by Windows' option selected, but I cannot get a connection now. It just sits there with 'Seeking GPS satellites (0) ... " and does not connect. If I manually select COM4, it times out after a while and says "No GPS receive was found. yada yada yada."
I know the final official ATT rom uses a different radio version (1.65.17.10) and protocol version (25.83.40.02H). Would this effect the GPS? Should I load the official ROM instead of this one? Or can I just flash the radio?
Here with the same problem but if you try to download it from htc.com you still get RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship could just be an old image that they have put in by error. and i used TOMTOM 7 as well and still no gps. Ill try different radios later 2 see what happens.Will post if any help
Thank you. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
I did finally get Skyfire, so I will console myself with that.
(everyone can get it this week with "Michael8" btw)
I upgraded my Tilt, and I am not having any problems using the GPS. Have you tried using the HTC GPS Tool to see if it can get access to the GPS unit?
Oops. I just noticed that you didn't install the ROM that came directly from AT&T. I used the official ROM and haven't had any problems.
It is possible that a difference in the radio could affect the use/performance of the GPS. I would still try the HTC GPS Tool first. If you haven't used it before, it will display all the satellites that your unit sees and their signal strengths.
Thanks, I'll go find that an install it. I've tried Windows Live Search, Google Maps and TrackMe, and none work so far. If I can't figure out it out by tomorrow I may just flash the 'official' ROM. I'd love to try one of the cooked ROMs, but work fries my brain enough as it is.
I use i'nav on my phone.
I had to change the com port to 4 then it worked again.
I've tried manually setting com4, but that still won't work.
I installed the HTC GPS tool, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. When I hit 'Open' it scrolls lots of stuff, but nothing ever pops up on the Satellite tab. :/
If you have Advanced Config or Kaiser Tweak, try turning off Assisted GPS.
thank Valtamr.. tried it both ways. Assisted GPS was off by default, tried turning it on, no go, turned it back off.
well i did download the official rom
Is it work properly now?
Gah, I hate having to load all my apps and customizations back on again.
well i didnt download any other just the official one and i got the problem

If you hate reloading everything as much as I do....you owe it to yourself to check out SASHIMI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983
I flash quite a bit, and let me tell you, SASHIMI is a life saver. It'll bring back your apps and settings very quickly (and even set up your email accounts if you build an XML with it's included tool). Bengalih also has great documentation for it (as well as video tutorials).
Thanks Val. I've seen SASHIMI mentioned before. Watching the YouTube vid now.
SASHIMI looks excellent. I think I've got everything setup w/it. Guess I'll try loading the ROM from HTC's website and see how it goes.
reinstalled the ROm now gps works. Try it might help you 2
Yup.. just reinstalled from the file available @ HTC.com
ROM: 3.57.502.2 WWE
date: 07/17/08
Radio: 1.65.21.18

Working GPS ftw.

Still have GPS issues

So, I flashed the official rom from HTC's website
ROM v: 3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio: 1.65.21.18
Protocol: 25.88.40.05H
The HTC GPS tool gives different info now - 6-8 red circles show up on the Satellites tab, but satellites used shows 0. And Google maps and Live search both time out when trying to get a GPS signal. So it looks like maybe I am closer, but it's still not working quite right.

Thanks. I tried the registry setting change that was mentioned and was able to get a fix after about 2 mins via HTC GPS tool and now google maps is working properly. I guess I'll just keep an eye on the boards and the htc site for an 'official' fix.
Look for other threads related to this issue.
Hints:
-Try a new radio.
-Update Quick GPS.
I had the same problem. Flash rom, then a hard reset. Fixed it.

Another WiFi problem.

I have an AT&T Tilt, but I've flashed it to another ROM. The WiFi has worked intermittently since I've owned the phone, but only after flashed the AT&T ROM out of it for the first time (around December of 2007).
What I'd really like (if it's even possible) is any default registry settings anyone can think of.
Here is all the relevant information I can think of:
Operator Version: iolite by poldo
ROM Version: iolite_v05 WWE
ROM Date: 02/25/09
Radio Version: 1.65.24.36
Protocol Version: 25.94.40.06H
I do have WMWifiRouter installed and it has worked with the program. The newest version.
I've been through these forums, Google, PPCGeeks... I've downloaded a "wifi/ics fix" cab I found on this site... I've made sure that the HKLM/Software/HTC/CommManager/WLAN key is /TNETW12511...
I did notice that under HKLM/Comm/TNETW12511 there is an ImagePath file that is TNETW1251.dll (note the lack of a second "1"). I traced the file, and it is correctly named. It's always been this way.
I post because it seems like I was using WiFi one evening, shared to my MBP, I shut everything down, went to sleep, and when I woke up the next day, my WiFi was absolutely borked.
EDIT - Also, as an aside... my weather tab just magically quit working. This is independent of my WiFi issue (I assume) because it auto-updates through my data plan.
