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.
Speedn
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...
http://www.tomtom.com/support/solution.php?GID=3&PID=1401&SID=0&CID=215&Language=1&FID=6736
NOTE: you will need reactivation of your maps after this upgrade to 6.03
please if anyone can help

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.

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?

I selected other NMEA GPS receiver and other bluetooth GPS receiver and selected GPS Device on COM9, but it says NO GPS device. What should I do. I'm really frustrated. any help will be appreciated.
cheers

Hi
From same time on my Kaiser the GPS dont function, after the problem with QuikGPS that I fix the GPS is down and dont function anymore.
On the page of the External GPS dont permit me anymore to set the same port in the 2 page.
Maybe somebody can tell how I can set the GPS as new (without to make an Hard reset).
Ciao

First of all, you need to SEARCH. There are gazillions threads out there with GPS problems. If you messed with External GPS, then you HAVE to hard-reset. Don't mess with External GPS.
I posted this in another thread which seemed to help... maybe worth a try.
How do you configure the gps for wififofum en kaiser device?, i dont understand it yet and i cant find a related thread about it, thx.

There's not much to configure but you will need to know what port you are using for Internal gps. I use port 9 but many folks use port 4.
When you know the port number simply start Wififofum, go to tools>Options>GPS - set the port number, tick auto, Baud 4800 and click OK. Wait to get a lock on satellites.
If you have problems identifying what port you are using post back in this thread.

need help with gps port too :$

allready find the port @ external gps and configure it, its working, thx
allright, i read somewhere that the option "connect" isnt in the list any more, so how can i connect using wififofum?
My Tilt works with Com4 and 4800 for the "Baud Rate". Not sure what else you're asking about. It sometimes takes a little time befor I get a GPS lock. Be patient when waiting for a GPS lock and also let us know what problem or error you are seeing.
First time i had used Goole map en tomtom 7 that was good adn my diamon found gps satellites. But now programs are finding the reciever but do not find any satellites. I made 4 hard reset and now it is the same "nothing". Is there someone who know how to fix it.
Thanks
Ps: I am belgian so excuse me for my english, I am doing what I can
same problem to me with navigon navigator 6. it automatically found the gps device but no satellites.
check the baudrate! it has to be 4800
All is good ( and at factory default ) COM 4 and 4800 but no signal in any programs (google map, IGO 8 , TOMTOM 7 , GPS positionning for wifi site survey)
I had make a new hard reset and reused goole map all good and reinstall IGO 8 and all good but I hope it will not change a new time. For IGO 8 I had used the normal install and not changing any thing but it used port 4 at 57600 for running. If something chang in a few days and no gps signal and satellites again I will post a new question. That is not as simple as a PDA with internal or external antenna with SD.

What's your settings in Settings/system/external GPS?
settings:
programmes : com 4
material : none and 4800
access : gps auto gestion "on"
@ dge
Het is ook mogelijk dat je het programma QuickGPS even moet runnen voordat de sateliet gevonden wordt. Om de 6 dagen even opnieuw downloaden.
Let me know..
sorry I do not speek weel deutsh and I had not undestand all in your reply. can you tell me that in english or french. This time I am not using the update of GPSquick but I can try and see. If you know how to disable it tel me too.
And excuse me spikelee I realy need to learn néderlands

What about trying to change to first tab com2, second tab com4 4800, that's my setting and it works on all mentioned programs. I've selected com2 in TomTom.
I have not try because tomtom 7 just select for me the config and do not let me edit the settings, I will try on the divice only and tell you. but I notice that the 2 times that I install fring I had lose my GPS signal, the GPS is still detected but no signal.
Thanks to everybody
Could it be that you've enabled the Assisted GPS (for example with Schnap's advanced configurator?). I've read that this could cause some problems as well.
I have not enable A-gps and not downloaded QuickGps info. The last time that i used Advance config, just after the install my phone was realy slow without touching anything in config. But I do not know the difference between A-GPS and QuickGPS in the tabs.

Don't know the exact difference either, so from what I've understood: QuickGPS needs information from the internet in order to be able to get a quick fix as it knows more or less where you are from the GSM antenna's you connect to. AGPS helps in case there is no or bad GPS reception to get more or less a fix.
QuickGPS is functional and really helps. AGPS is not necessary in my opninion.

I agree with you.
When I am using Quick GPS I am getting in some trouble with GPS but I will Try with other config like someone say earlier. For the moment I am Using tomtom7
and I will Install fring in few seconds + Wififofum and see if there is any think that change. After I will use QuickGPS and see.

Quick GPS dont uses the gps hardware, it just downloads the position of the satellites for 6 days in advance. So your gps device knows where to look for the satellites.
for that I was reading somewere to use " othe NEMA " and it is finding directly GPS satellites so no need to wait 3 min for good GPS signal and it is working realy fine. There is only com 4 and com 7 but on com for its good, in IGO 8 that is 57600 baude on com 4 with internal and I do not know if I can use 57600 without killing my GPS antenna. For the moment all goes right and I hope it will continue, the first time that I experienced problems that was 2 after using prog or soon after a hard reset.
Thanks for those explainations and helping me, Iam sure that it will help other guys to.
oops, my bet.
Before you try change the setting(witch i believe must be correct) you have te run the QuickGPS prog. When downloaded it will give you a valid time(i think 6 days and a couple of hours). If you don't refresh this it won't work..
Hi my name is Mike. I am currently having a problem with my AT&T Tilt (8925)s GPS unit. I see the orange light at the top flashing but the phone is not recieving signal at all. I heard if you use HTC GPS Tool it will tell you if it works. I am using it right now and I am noticing all these messages rolling over the screen when I select COM4 4800:
$GPVTG,,T,,M,M,,K*4E
$GPGSV,1,1,00*79
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*32
repeated over and over again.
When I click the satellite tab nothing is found.
Also I am not sure if it matters that my keyboard is the old version and it claims to be a 8925 when it looks different in pictures online.
If anyone can help fix this problem I will pay $3 via paypal (IF ALLOWED BY MODS AND ADMINISTRATOR, OTHERWISE FORGET IT)
I found this on a website but I still dont understand why its doing that.
$GPGSV,1,1,00*79 = 0 Satellite Vechicles in view
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66 = No GPS Fix data available
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53 = V in field 2 means navigation receiver warning (invalid position)
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*32 ==> Automatic mode (3D/2D) & Fix not available
$GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K*4E = NO GPS data available
EDIT: I tried the GPS on Android 2.1 on the phone and still no connection at all.
I dont understand this.
Please help me!
Thanks,
Mike
I take it you have tried a soft and hard reset?
Are you outside when it is looking for Satellites? It can also take some time to get an initial lock on. Perhaps if you switch off the auto-off/powersaving part of the phone and go outside, set it on a wall and wait...and wait....and wait... and hopefully it will get a lock.
Good luck I recall years ago with a Garmin GPS that was Serial and not Parallel receiver it would take aaaaaaaages to get a lock on ie, up to 45 minutes! Usually after it was OK but even so!
Is this a factory rom?
Not Sure of your location... However when I experienced problems in the STATES it was usually the Radio I need to change... Plus having [QuickGPS] installed to help moved the GPS initialization along [Finding a satellite lock] For me about 2-5 Min on average, depending on location. Also not sure what you use for Navigation but I use TomTom and it's been problem free....
Good luck

Good advice.
Got one questions for you guys, are you using additional antennas or is there's a build-in one? My kaiser really sucks about gps, it hardly ever locks gps even outdoors. But got a solution: Get a cooper wire which fits into GPS antenna socket, cut about 5-5.5cm of it and stick it into the socket you can bend it so it won't disturb. Maybe you can stick it under the rear cover so it won't be visible.
With this short cooper wire i've got a steady gps lock even indoors.
Sorry for my bad english
