copy UTC-time to device - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hallo !
is there anybody who knows a way to copy the very acurate utc-time provided by internal gps to the sytem time of the diamond ? It is displayed by various aplications like htc gps tool but cant use to sync.
It would be great to always have the real time onboard !

Install an application called GPS Utilities, it has the option to set your device time to the GPS time.

I downloaded GPS Utilities as I'm looking for tracking software for cycle rides, etc and have looked for the time synchro feature but cannot find it. I also looked on the Efficasoft webpage for the same.
Any idea where this feature is in the app?
cheers, cojo

Hello !
I tried GPSutil but it cant find the buil-in GPS-reciever.
I also tried pathaway from touratech, there i can choose "set time to utc" but it seems that it does not work? there is always the original time displayed...
anyone else ?

Cool ways to use the GPS in the Kaiser

There are two apps that I have used that I must say make the GPS built into the Kaiser along with its data connectivity pretty cool. Of course, the GPS is a great tool for mapping software such as TomTom, iGuidance, Google Maps, MS Live Search, and others... but the possibilities of GPS in a connected device like the Kaiser can lead to many other great things. Two that I have found useful are Mobile Justice and 3d Tracking. Here is a quick description of what they are.
First, I have installed Mobile Justice which alerts you when a SIM card is changed and will send a text message to a number of your choosing when it is changed... for example it was stolen and a card was sent in. It can also send the current GPS location. In addition, you can send the device a text message with a keyword and request at any time, the current GPS location. You can also put a message on the device screen. I know people often cook this application into ROMs. I hope that someone does this for a future Kaiser kitchen. I learned about the new GPS features here: http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/mobile_justice_sms_your_phone.html
The other app that I have used that is kind of nifty is 3d tracking. It updates your GPS location in near real time to a website that you can use a PC to monitor. The mapping is done using Google maps. Very cool way to keep track of valuables such as your teenagers. ;-)
http://free.3dtracking.net/home.aspx
What other cool uses for the GPS have you found to use with your Kaiser?
I think the latest is the GPS photo functionality that was discovered to be built in. We were talking about this functionality at work but in an actual camera. Little did I know that i would discover this same function active in my TyTn II

I did see that in the forums which just made the camera in the phone that much more useful. Very useful when on hikes or vacationing to take a quick snapshot. Sure, the camera on the phone is not a replacement for a high quality digital camera, but it is convenient and in outdoor light, does a pretty good job. Combined with the GPS tagging, it is fun too. I hope we get to see even more uses for the integrated GPS.
Please explain

Can you please explain this function and how it can be used.
I am using Nokia's smart2go gps software in my Tytn-II and its working gr8, with Nokia's maploader u can download very detailed maps with very good databases particularly for middle-east.
Similar to your Mobile Justice product, here's one I saw the other day. Its kind of like LoJack for your phone:
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocketpc-softwares/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs-2.html
It You can have your phone let you know where it is if its ever lost.
The company I work for does gps tracking for sports (running, skiing etc). I won't post the link, as i dont want to be seen as advertising.
But its pretty cool to be able to see how fast you ski (57.2mph is my fastest so far).
Someone sent me a note on this site that does something similar to 3d tracking. I will try it out now to see how it works.
http://gps.gpsxml.com/
Here is another tool that has a description with features similar to WIMP (Where Is My Phone) and Mobile Justice. Has anyone heard of it or tested it before? It is called Ultimate Theft Alert and has GPS as an add-on option.
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocketpc-softwares/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs-2.html
I had no idea there were so many tools for GPS integrated mobile phones. Here is another freebie, this time from a well known PPC developer, VITO Technology. It is called FindMe
http://www.vitotechnology.com/en/products/findme.html
And for those with coding experience... here is an example with source code.

Basic use would be if you wanted to add pictures to a map (google earth i believe supports this) you take a picture and in geomarks your pic.
It is basically done by regedit - you can read more on this in this exact forum (should be on page one or two -- easy for us to say this while the kaiser forum is still fresh)
Have a look at this..... http://www.reperion.com/
Downloaded the software, registered an account and now my handset can be tracked by anyone with a pc.
yeah the file download was down before, working now, will try this one out

This is free for now it seems. I will try it out. Do you know if it is any different than 3d tracking? That one is free too.
Had a quick look t 3d tracking, reprion looks to do asimilar thing.
Both seem pretty cool anyway
Some more interesting GPS software: http://www.jgui.net/gps/index.html
Personal observation: There should be a standard for SMS messages whereby the GPS coordinates of the sender can be sent along with text or mms messages. This would be handy for location based services and when chatting with friends.

Somthing wrong with the GPS
Hi
There's something definitely wrong with the GPS happening from time to time.
Today, TomTom was off by nearly 1 kilometre using the internal GPS. Using BT GPS everything was fine.
After a restart: the location was spot on again.
It has happened to me 3-4 times now that the GPS is completely off the charts.
Wonder if this could be fixed with a Radio ROM update ..

Sorry to maybe possible hijack this threat a little. I am also using smart2go. But I can't download any maps to my MicroSD with the Maploader. It always complaint that there is no space in my card (which has 3.7GB free). How were you able to download the maps to your card?
Many thanks in advance!
PS. Never mind. I found out that Smart2Go probably has a problem with storage cards larger than 2GB as if I use smaller MicroSD cards, the Map Loader works fine. So the solution is to run Smart2Go with a blank 2G or smaller card, then copy the files to the 4G MicroSDHC. Then Map Loader works (with a size limit of 1.8G for map data).....
Ok so still having some problems.
As noted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332811
Some programs don't instal for me, WIMP did install however (haven't tested it yet) so my assumption would be some kind of security setting that is on when installing cabs, do you guys turn it off? (i remember there was a way to do this with the Hermes) or do these apps just install out of the box (per se)?
EDIT:
Looks like its some kind of problem when i transfer the file over via activesync to the card. I put it on via straight pc to another card and it installs fine.

GPS?

(maybe a stupid question...) Doesn't the Touch Diamond have a built-in GPS receiver? If yes, how to I activate it? (can't find it anyware with the TRL cooked ROM). Thx.
YES if you bought your Diamond didn`t you read specs. ? You`re buying random stuff ?
You don`t need to activate that you need software which can use it. E.g. TomTom, iGO, Garmin, McGuider etc ...
also, try Google Maps, works nicely -> http://www.google.com/gmm/
To be more clear, GPS is automatically activated (and deactivated) by the software that uses it. You don't need to worry about it.

pedmond is right...
but first you have to go to Settings - > External GPS and make sure the COM port that you set there matches the one you set in your software...
it can be managed automatically but I hate automatic stuff.
Alternative app?
Thanks, guys - you are GOLD. Got it working now - in Google Maps. Any suggestions for an alternative GPS app? - TomTom, IGo, Garmin, Route 66? What's best?
I would prefer:
1. Automatic updating of map data.
2. Local download of map data to internal storage.
3. Good and updated European coverage.
Thx.

Am I missing something?
happyguy82 was perfectly right that you have to make sure that you know the com port in external GPS. Anyone trying to get TomTom 6 working knows this for a fact.
Unless of course you were being sarcastic and the forum hasn't put that across?
From the Manual:
"External GPS: Set the appropriate GPS communication ports, if required.
You may need to do this when there are programs on your device that
access GPS data or you have connected a GPS receiver to your device."
sorry if i am wrong, but i think external GPS settings are for an external gps and not the built in. i never touched this settings except when i had an ETEN with a defective gps and i used an external one. right now my GPS hardware port is set to (none) and my iGO8 works just fine with the port it autodetected. tom tom needs special settings for this? sorry didn't know and i fail to see why......
really, sometimes is a good idea to read the manual

A2. Possible with Garmin Mobile XT. I use Garmin and the beauty of it is that everytime I flash a ROM, once all the extras are loaded and the Diamond starts up, I get auto-prompted if I want to install Garmin, then agree to the license and it's done! No need to install CABs again or run Mapsource or anything! One thing I still haven't figured out is how to back-up my custom locations so I can reload them after flashing.
Installing TomTom, iGO
Ok, i need some serious help when it comes to installing TomTom, iGo or any other of these GPS apps. All the readme: s say you're suppose to copy the folders to your SD card, but obviously the Diamond uses internal memory, so this can't be done. I've tried plugging in the Diamond to my computer, choosing "storage card" instead of ActiveSync, and copying the iGo folder into the program files directory of the internalmemory. But nothing happens. Even if I open the iGo .exe from the Diamond itself later on. So again, can someone please tell me how to install one of these things?

Diamond new users question/answer guide

to begin with, i want to tell you all how glad i am to have found and be a part of this community which taught and showed me a lot of things on how to configure and set up a decent working version of Windows Mobile. this is my first winmob phone, after having a dozen java/symbian/s60 operated phones.
i chose the HTC over the iPhone mainly because of the huge possibilities of tweaking, but for an inexperienced (WinMobile) user like me, to kick it off in the right way might prove to be harder than at first expected. so i decided to create this topic not only to ask for your help but hopefully to lay down some basic guidelines for all users new to this forum and to WinMob.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
my ROM version is 1.37.401.3 and my Radio version is 1.00.25.03 - that's how i bought it from store.
1. i installed the advanced confing utility but some options there don't work for me (e.g. Show SIM contacts - disable[doesn't work] or X button - close app [same]). why is that ?
2. is it in anyway possible to modify my start menu app list cause it laggs for about 2-3 seconds before opening the huge list i have there
3. what does the Radio version mean ? from what i've read on these forums, i'm thinking it has to do more than with the basic radio app, right ? what exactly does the higher version (.05) improve ?
4. the ROM version - correct me if i'm wrong .. are there official ROM versions from HTC that can be downloaded from their site that work regardless of the tweakings done to the phone? and how are user made ROMs better ? is there anything consistently better than my current version in terms of battery life and performance ?
5. i've read the manual and it says that the win media player supports .avi files yet mine doesn't open one. anything special i need to know of ?
6. what programs can i install apart from those i've found here? say yahoo messenger, if i don't want to use win messenger. and if that's possible, are there appz especially made for winmobile cause i doubt it that an ordinary PC .exe will work the same
7. is there any way to use the camera from the front of the phone for photos?
8. is there no other possibility of turning the phone ON from sleep mode other than the power button ? if not, where's the timer that sets how many seconds pass before entering sleep mode?
9. if i got it right, tomtom7 is a gps navigation program, right? does it work stand-alone? i mean, no external receiver? and does it connect to the internet while in usage ? what about google maps?
10. any other useful programs to recommend other than the ones found within this section of the forum ? i've read about users using Total Comander.. where can i find that ? or is it the normal PC program ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
i know these are a lot of questions but honestly these were the first things that popped in my mind after using this phone for nearly 5 days now i'll be grateful for whatever answers, advice and solutions you'll be kind enough to provide.
8. Take out the stylus - wakes it up. Just got mine today and found this out by accident. After all - why read the manual??
9. TomTom 6 is the version I bought for my Trinity, and it works just fine on my Diamond. I just chose Com Port 4 for 'other bluetooth receiver' and it works without the need for an external bluetooth GPS receiver. Curiously it turns bluetooth on while TT is running - then turns it off when stopping TT. Does it really need to connect to itself via bluetooth? Any readers got an idea?
domnu' iliescu,
a. go to:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Diamond
and learn a few basics and in special a few therms some "slang"
b. go to:
http://modmydiamond.info/index.php and learn how to hardspl and flash a new ROM.
the "cooked" ROMs are by far better than the original one (the one u have for example). is like buying a car and using a kit to tune it, make it the way you like it. you tweak the motor and you''l get less consumption (more memory and longer battery life), more speed (faster and smoother diamond) and so on. escuse my car analogy but the thing i love even more than my diamond is my car (i wonder, is it really in this order?).
now, my answers to yr question. i might be wrong on some of the answers but there are enough ppl here hapy to correct me..lol
1. there is a high probability that flashing a new ROM will change that (see a.)
2. for sure flashing will solve it.
3. in simple words, the radio is the function that allows you to make calls, use bluetooth or yr gps. connectivity. see my a. for more info.
4. see the beginning of my replay namely, point b.
5. don't know why, again maybe a new ROM will solve this (strange ..)
6. live it to later. there is somewhere here a post regarding applications and programs supported by diamond. first flash new ROM and new radio, get familiar with the device and forget about applications. there are a few "must have" but again, l a t e r .
7. the camera is for video calls. why do u need to used when u have a better (much better) one dedicated to taking pictures?
8. pull out the stylus is my favorite.
regarding "the timer":
- go to settings/system/power/backlight for adjusting the backlight and go to settings/system/power/advanced for what u call "sleep mode". btw, it is in diamond's manual!
9. the diamond has an internal GPS. no need for external (see yr manual again). you can choose between lots of navigation programs. tomtom, igo8 and google maps (never used google maps, maybe somebody else is going to help you). i am using igo8.
10. total commander is somewhere as a cab file in the thread of one of the many ROMs here. i'll look for it or i'll upload mine somewhere.
important!!
read diamond's manual, keep reading in the forum, ask only after you are certain that the answer is not somewhere here (use search function) and read again some more! "invatzatzi! invatzatzi! invatzatzi!
good luck! Noroc!
On point 8, has anyone managed to wake the phone up/bring the screen light back on without pressing the power button or removing the stylus? Pushing the central button or even the home button would be better.

You should install diamond tweak, you'll find it on the forum, for easyier twaeking, it got 40 tweaks incl, and you can easy just disable or enable there.
if you hide sim contacs, it will be reset to show again after a soft reset i think.
4. the ROM version - correct me if i'm wrong .. are there official ROM versions from HTC that can be downloaded from their site that work regardless of the tweakings done to the phone? and how are user made ROMs better ? is there anything consistently better than my current version in terms of battery life and performance ?
Yes there is a new rom out, 1.93, you can download it from htc.com, htc e club, register there, and then register your product when you are logged on, and you should be able to install it.
5. i've read the manual and it says that the win media player supports .avi files yet mine doesn't open one. anything special i need to know of ?
Install TCPMP/core player, .avi, .mpeg etc. works there, best player for movies imo.
7. is there any way to use the camera from the front of the phone for photos?
Yes there is, when you use camera, go on settings and press the icon with 2 cameras on, and it will switch to the camera on the front
10. any other useful programs to recommend other than the ones found within this section of the forum ? i've read about users using Total Comander.. where can i find that ? or is it the normal PC program ?
NoData, tcpmp, S2P(music player), diamond TF3D config, diamond tweaks is some of those i find very good to have.

Date and/or Time problem with Garmin XT partially solved

Hi guys,
For those with time changing / switching / problem using Garmin mobile XT, here is a nice workaround.
Evolving from Garmin iQue to Mobile XT was never having my phone clock on time again. Every time I used XT I had to check if my phone clock and date was ok.
I was tired of trying every single Garming XT version with diferents Kaiser ROM's and nothing was solved. So I developed a tiny .net console application that wraps Garmin execution and monitors time changing, restoring original time in case of change.
My TyTnII is running WM 6.1
Rom: Hyperdragon III
Radio: 1.65.24.36
3.sj.hd.03
25.94.40.06h
Garmin XT Version 5.00.20wp
Installation and use:
Compact Framework 3.5 may be needed if it is not installed.
Download the attached file.
Copy all 3 files from zip in any directory.
i.e. "\Storage Card\Program Files\GarminXTClockFix\"
This app need the location of your "Que.exe" file as a parameter. So you may modify the original "Garmin Mobile XT.lnk" in your "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder to target GarminXTClockFix.exe. Or you can create another one.
i.e. 30#"\Storage Card\Program Files\GarminXTClockFix\GarminXTClockFix.exe" \Garmin\Que.exe
(I included my .lnk file too, just in case)
From now on, you have to run Garmin from the modified shortcut
And that's all, I know that this is not THE final solution, but I hope it can be useful just as it was for me.
Please feel free of giving some comments here and any kind of feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Diego
UPDATE: deleted mediafire link and uploaded an attached file.
Thanks
Hi Diego,
Thank you for your post, It’s has been very helpful. I hope you can post other solution.

I have determined that the time change problem occurs if GarminXT does not quickly get satellite lock. Apparently there is an undocumented feature that sets the device time from the GPS signal, but if it does not get a lock, it sets it to midnight GMT.
My solution is to prime the GPS with the BAF GPS Toggle today plugin before starting GarminXT.
Alan
Fixed!!
I fixed mine!!!!
Just went into Start>Settings>Personal Tab>Phone>Time Zones Tab, and Un-Checked the "Auto change time zone and clock" box.
There is no problem for me because in my country (Costa Rica) we don't have time change due to change of season, it's always the same.
I don't know why MS put this option there. I think that the place it corresponds is in Time Settings or Regional Settings, but in Phone Options???
Still don't know why Garmin XT is the only one program that does this thing.
No more clock/date changes for me!!!
I hope this can solve the problem of many of you, since there isn't a reasonable solution yet.

Hi Diego!
I tried your method but I'm not able to run it. For sure I'm doing something wrong.
My phone is an iPAQ 910c, Windows 6.1 in Spanish w/ CF 3.5 Installed.
I moved the .lnk file you attached in the zip into Start Menu/Programs and tried to run it with no success.
Also, the name of the exe from Garmin is QuePPC.exe.
If you can please explain me the following step you added, will be highly appreciated, since I'm not sure on what to do here
"This app need the location of your "Que.exe" file as a parameter. So you may modify the original "Garmin Mobile XT.lnk" in your "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder to target GarminXTClockFix.exe. Or you can create another one.

Hi there, maybe we have different Garmin XT version, but I think it wont be any problem.
This little program needs as a parameter the location for your QuePPC.exe
So, before trying to run the "GarminXTClockFix.exe" you have to modify the .lnk that you've copied.
Tell me where you copied the GarminXTClockFix.exe and the full path of your QuePPC.exe so I can assist you.
Hi! The version I have is 5.00.20wp, which I believe is the latest.
The path I placed your software is inside of the Garmin folder:
\\\Garmin\
I'm sorry for misleading you. I was looking previously at the files in the SD card, used for the installation. The software is installed in the phone itself, not the SD. In there, I found the Que.exe file. That queppc.exe I mentioned can also be used to execute the program from the SD.
The Garmin folder includes Que.exe and Garmin Mobile XT.exe. Both also execute the software.
Now I got this error when running GarminXTClockFix.exe, the phone shows this 4-color symbol meaning it's processing something but then just disappears executing nothing.
Any idea on what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance for your time!
Hi Diego! Would you please tell me how to use it? I'm still struggling with it...
Thanks a lot!

Hi! sorry for the late reply, I was on holidays
First of all, I have to mention that this partial solution is not working 100% properly for me. Meaning that my kaiser system clock is still changing from time to time Next weekend Im gonna give a try the latest WinMo 6.5.
Saying that, the error that you mention is simply because you are trying to run a 2nd instance of Garmin XT, when that happens try looking in your active application manager (ie task manager lite) and "bring to front" the existing garmin xt instance of the software.
But if you weren´t able to run at first time, you may check your .lnk file where is looking for your garmin original .exe file.
If you are still having problems, attach here the .lnk file that you are using so I can help you solving this.

GPS with Google map is not working

Hi,
I try to use Google map with GPS but it's success! Seem Google map can't detect any satellites. Anyone has the same problem? Who has experience to fix it?
Thanks.
Works OK for me, the first time took a while to lock on but OK after that. Make sure you run QuickGPS as well
Thanks for your reploy! I did enable A-GPS by Advanced Configure and run QuickGPS but the google did not work! It tried to seek satellites but nothing found!
The first time I ran the program it had to have a clear line of sight to the sky for a few minutes - between 5-10 i think.
After that it should be a bit quicker, but of course it doesn't often work inside a house so you may need to stand in your garden
Try this : Menu / Options / GPS setting / Manual setting (approximately, I have it in czech),and I have in other application COM4 and Baud-rate 4800
I've had the same problem in the beginning. GMaps couldn't connect to GPS at all.. I then set the GPS settings to manual, but it didn't work.. Reverted to automatic and got the gps working within 15 seconds!
Hope this helps
Hi
Thanks for your reploy! I did enable A-GPS by Advanced Configure and run QuickGPS but the google did not work! It tried to seek satellites but nothing found!

This setting is a waste of time, as you need your mobile operator to support A-GPS for a start, and then you must have the correct settings entered which are not exposed in Advanced Configuration. By default the phone will be trying to contact an HTC test server which can't be reached from any mobile network.
Disable A-GPS for best results unless you have the settings required and it is supported by your mobile operator.
Regards
Phil
