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.
can someone pls tell me how can I get Google Maps to "use GPS" ?
I enabled "assist GPS" through Advanced setup program ... but I still cant enable GPS in google maps ... its greyed out ... (so I turned it back to disable now)
I know it works because it was ok with the 1.37 ROM ... I upgraded to latest and it does not seem to work
btw TT7 works ok ..
any helps is much appreciated ... I tried searching threads here but to no help...
thank you
bump ... anyone ?

Thats strange... so confirm your ROM version and Googlemaps version... ????
I have never had problems with that on any ROM
NB: don't enable AGPS waste of time...
using bElite v0.97_Fixed and Google maps 2.2.0.16 (downloaded straight from googlemaps link)
just set the gps manually on com4 and baud rate to 57600 it should work

Great tip!
hi all,
my friend just got his x1 and he ask me how to configure n use garmin on x1 but i didnt know too..
anyone here can help me please...
thx in advance..
install n run
External GPS settings:
Programs Tab: GPS program port: Com4
Hardware Tab: (None) Baud rate: 4800
In Garmin:
Tools-->Settings-->System-Remote GPS
Com4:Com4
Be outside and you should get a signal- first time might take a while about 5 minutes- after that- about 1 minute.
Hope this helps!!
Tony
go download agps data 1st,it should detect faster

I got the same... and still I cant configure it
Hello!
I'd install Garmin on my X1 and I didnt must config the internal GPS, the program config it self. In the GPS config Menue display COM4, COM4.
Have you install Garmin with Windows Installer?
with best reguards
Incredible! My super P3600 WM5 Original, SPB Shell 3.01, Rom Radio 1.56 work perfectly ... but suddenly the camera doesn't fix! Instead TT7 and all the other program with gps work perfectly. If i set to Com9 the gps using the gps icon (under settings\System) and press Ok to confirm the program don't save anitying. I see always "Hardware port: nothing".
I've already tried to reflash my rom radio but with several versioni is the same thing...
Any idea?
Thanks
Too difficult?
Too difficult?
Greetings to portsplitter!
I solved my problem editing my registry.
Under "GPS Intermediate Driver" i put "Control Panel Configured Device" instead of "Virtual Device". It was garbage of port splitter. Buy
