Hi,
I installed the upgrade for swedish Trinity yesterday and got the GPS working with Google Maps.
ROM ver: 1.23.413.2
Radio ver: 1.38.00.11
I just wonder if there's supposed to be any info or settings about the gps-chip in the menus? Can't seem to find it anywhere in the Windows Mobile settings- or program-screens.
And if not, is the gps inactive (non power-consuming) until a program accesses it? Or how does it work?
Many questions - thanx for a great forum and for any help!
Markus
I guess that rom is pretty much the same as the norwegian one that I use.
There is no GPS menu that I could find, and the GPS is only running when a programs uses it.
Hello,
you can enable the GPS menu and icon using Trinityhacks 0.1.
Hi all

L26 Kaiser Diamond Version 3 !!! (Core 19588) is working just by disabling the HTC home plugin.
New method for a workaround Originally Posted by flushbeer

disadvantage is, that igo starts every softreset.
advantage is i don't have to disable htc home every time i reset. and it works after EVERY softreset (planned or unplanned)

Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19585 Public Beta test Release reported working just by disabling the HTC home pln.
[May 22]
NavNGo iGO8 v.8.0.0.35389 Apr. 15 2008 also works fine with Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700. This version seems to tolerate better the phone calls and not loosing GPS after minimalisation.

i use igo8 final 8.0.0.31442 with Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700
it work mostly fine, i have some problems that after some phone call the gps driver is lost in igo8. but if you exit igo8 and restart
it works fine and has a 3 second GPS lock. After calls wiat 3-5 seconds to let igo get back to command.
if you have the startup problem with a ROM other than this, please try to disable parts of the HTC home plugin.
there is only 3 items which causes the problem: Weather, Music, Profile
to turn them off go to Startmenu\Settings\Personal\Today\
Go to the third panel: HTC Home and uncheck Weather, Music, Profile
turn them off and make a soft reset
if you have the startup problem as time passes after soft reset there is a chance that igo dont start up again
you can try to turn off aGPS also in advanced config but most ROMs come with this option off
if you have sys.txt problems try to have both sys.txt to be in good shape
sys.txt locations are in importance order:
\Program Files\iGO8\sys.txt
\Storage Card\iGo8\sys.txt
List of sys.txt variables:
in post #49 -50 on page 5
for kml extension POIs form www.poiplaza.com put them in the following folder:
\Storage Card\iGo8\content\userdata\poi\
first i had problems to list this POIs correctly but it started to work, perhaps a soft reset needed?
for phone icon to be active in POI info menus use the folowing variables in sys.txt:
[interface]
poi_show_all_btn=1
[phone]
driver="TAPI"
for touch flow addicts try the following settings
[map]
inertia_on_map_move=1
please inform me about new tweaks for kaiser and i'll try to keep up to date this thread...
Yes. I can confirm this also makes the MioMap v3.3 run!
Igo

Just an FYI...if you upgrade to the ROM Dutty released this morning then Igo will run with no problems...you don't have to disable anything...
After updating to Dutty's new official WM6.1 5.2.19716 UC ROM the MioMap v.3.3 works (with all HTC plugins selected)!
Unfortunatelly, I can confirm that iGo 8 Demo and iGo2006 do NOT work with latest Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Sometimes they launch, but most of the time I have to disable HTC Home and SR to make them launch.
I will try disable weather plugin and see if that helps (I don't use music and profile plugins). Could it be that it's the weather plugin specifically that does this?
Which version do you mean when you write the latest?
Cos igo should work with both of the hybrid versions.
At least with the first one (I think it was Apr. 1.) I never had a problem with igo
(Maybe you wanna try this rom?)
What I noticed with other roms: if I disabled things in HTC home, I had to start igo, minimize it, go through all the tabs that caused problems and after that I closed igo. If i didn't do that, igo would not start after pressing the problematic tabs.

Actually, its the 'Music' plugin specifically that may need to be disabled (for some). IGo8 Final works otherwise for me w/ Dutty's Apr 29 ROM...
Nav.N.Go.iGO.PDA.v8.0.0.31442.Final
in combination with latest DUTTY rom work excellent here.
installed whole europe (total size was 2gb) with the poi's and such...works 100% so far and i dont encounter the same problems you did.
I'm using April 29 Dutty's 6.1 ROM - and both iGo versions do not work with it. Sometimes i can get it to work right after SR, even with HTC Home enabled, but if I close iGo, I won't be able to launch it again until HTC Home is disabled and I SR.

Possibly one of two things:
1) The IGo8 Demo version doesn't work.
or
2) There's something else on the PDA that's conflicting w/ it..
1 - I've used both versions (2006 and 8) many, many times on WM6 without any problems, so it must be WM6.1
Besides, many people are having same problems with WM6.1 HTC Home and iGo, it must be something that HTC Home does with WM6.1 that causes this.

Possibly, but then KeesKaas and I are both using it with HTC Home enabled without any issues.. Maybe you could try and reflash Dutty's Apr 29 ROM and try it..
assisted gps
disabling assisted gps might also be a solution to starting igo8.
I use duttys news rom also. and had problems starting igo8 . so i reflashed the rom, and now igo8 was running smooth. Then I started configuring the kaiser, and noticed that after enabling assisted GPS (through advanced config), Igo8 wouldn't start again. I now disabled assisted gps, and igo8 is running good again. I have done nothing to the htc home, weather, music settings.

to disable a-gps you can use kaiertweak
as solution for your timezone problem add this to your sys.txt:
[timezone]
sync_os_timezone=0
reset_os_timezone=0

You can only flash a rom on which igo works (wm6, 19716, or dutty hybrid)

Hmmm, so I must reflash to Dutty's Hybrid? Now I have NoThrills V3. Is Dutty's Hybrid better?
it's not a must... but you can if you want ;-)
for me there is not much difference between these two roms (but i don't use many applications), so i decided to use the one where igo runs.
I just purchased my Tilt and have Hard SPL installed but haven't settled on a ROM as of yet. I have been using Schaps ROMs for a while on the Hermes. My question is would someone be kind enough to direct me to the registry edit for giving the band option in the phone settings so I can disable 3G when not in use to save battery life.
Also I am looking for a registry editor for the Kaiser, input is apreciated. I have one I used on the Hermes but it doesn't seem to want to play with the Kaiser.
And I did search the wiki first when it came back up that is
ROM version is 1.62.502.0
Radio 1.27.14.09
Ok. You should do a SEARCH for COMM MANAGERS... search for Dutty 10 Button COMM manager, or SCHAP's COMM MANAGER. It will give you option to disable 3g and enable. It's as easy as just tapping on it. Same process as turning on WIFI. You need to search threads before people start breathing down your anus. READ and SEARCH
This app works perfectly. Its called BandSwitch. Just installed on my tilt the other day.
http://www.commmgrpro.com/jsp/main_frame.jsf;jsessionid=915C64AC4677473FA5F457913AEAC501
Click auto if you want to let it choose.
GSM for only Edge mode.
UMTS for 3G/HSDPA.
It also has auto disconnect.
Click hide page once you are done.
i tend to stick with a six button comm manager. I use advancedconfig to place the phone,wifi,bluetooth,3g,data connection, and airplane mode.
download advancedconfig HERE
Once it is installed go to start>programs>system tools>advancedconfig>menu>comm manager settings

TY for your reply. I was prepared for the flaming I have been reading and searching but was not finding what I was looking for. I was not aware that I was able to dl a com manager cab by its self. I have never been unhappy with the comm managers in the roms that i have used previously for the Hermes. ( V3pg and schaps )

That was exactly for what I am looking for. I am leaving in 2 days for a conference in Florida and this serves my immediate needs perfectly. I will try a few roms when I get back and see what is happening for the Kaiser.
It seems that I have to find ATT TILT Specific ROMs to avoid keyboard issues and go for a WM 6.1 if I want the newer radios. I have DL'd Schap's 4.30 and 4.31 but am not sure which device they were intended for, Tilt or TyTN, so more reading.
Thanx again for the fast advice.

well if the rom isn't for the tilt there is a cab available to fix your keyboard settings. However, some of the newest versions of roms tend to mess up the keyboard a bit if you type too fast. Anyhow, here is the cab for the tilt settings.

I have a htc Kaiser and i want to know how many software out there that can speed up the gps? I tried quickGPS and SeaSGEE. Does anyone know anything else beside those 2 softwares? thank you
Try enabling the A-GPS option via AdvanceConfig or KaiserTweak (both available on forum for download).
You can play around with Franson's GPS Gate. Its very good software.
Cheers,
Chris
I installed gpstest, then run it, and then Google Maps and Live search are almost instantaneous.

Either it is not signed with trusted certificate,
or one of its components cannot be found.
If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Please help to find a solution to fix this error, then enable GPS.
Thanks
