ok i dunno what jus happened so i want sum1 else 2 try it kuz i kno im not the onli 1 who had problems using their gps in the 6.1 update. i sumhow fixed the gps problem....i installed GPStest and i tested every baud rate after that DIDNT work i put it bak on the default n let it sit there while i read on the forum n i looked bak n it had a fix..so i went into 2 live search n it got a fix ...i soft reset it and tried again n it got a fix pretty fast ...and the third time it got a fix realli fast .....my guess is maybe since your making it try different rates it kicks it bak into gear so to speak...sum1 else try it and let me kno their results please....thanx

In general....
If you're going to chat in a realtime system... as in... messenger... irc... even sms's... then write as compact, and as fast as you can. The objective is to get the message there.
Yet...
If you're going to write to a more perpetual system.. one the many will read, search.. contemplate and comment... like a web forum... a mailing list... an email.. or even a small comment to a blog... then write as correctly as you can.. Many will read your post... many will use the forum search mechanism to search... and due to your childish writing methods... most usefull search items will probably not work.
Now... as to your "problem" :
What GPS problems ? The first FIX is always slow.. even with QuickGPS. Its called a Cold fix for some reason.
Hot Fixes.. the second and behond (unless you wait a very long time to turn it on) is always faster.
I've used Oficial 6.0.. oficial 6.1 and tweaked/cooked 6.1...
All worked normally with TomTom 6/7... no problem what so ever.
You have a tilt with a keyboard and not some funky dial pad. You should always type properly.. Unless you're like me and just can't. HEHE
i tried reading this, and it hurt my brain
My brain hurt too, I gave up after the first line...

Ok, First let me apologize for my SMS style grammar. Sorry, It's a Habit. Anyways the problem was that people were having trouble with GPS programs after the Windows Mobile 6.1 update, not all but some. I was looking around the forum and I wasn't the only one, so I tried some of the advised solutions, one of them being to test your GPS with GPStest and I did. After I tested all the Baud rates it worked. Also, I know what a cold fix is but i couldn't get a GPS fix AT ALL. Even if I left the programs, running after about 5 minutes Live Search would say it couldn't get a fix and GoogleMaps would give me an estimated range of where I could be and it was huge, and this happened all the time. well, after what I tried it worked and I just wanted to see if it would work with anyone else. Once again, sorry about the grammar and it's not that I'm uneducated, I'm just lazy sometimes. Sorry, won't do it again.
I could not get a proper fix using the 6.1 cooked ROMs on my Tilt prior to the official AT&T release. I would take up to 10 minutes to get cold fix, outside, under a cloudless sky. When I had 6.0 I could get a cold fix in under a minute.
Since the Official 6.1 ROM has come out for AT&T, I have been able to get a cold fix just as fast as 6.0 on all cooked ROMs based off the official 6.1 ROM and newer. My guess is that one of the reasons AT&T took so long to get it out the door was fixing the GPS problem, whatever it was. God knows not even the geniuses here on XDA could not figure it out. I tried every fix and tweak I could find but nothing could help me get a lock like I used to on 6.0. I'm not putting down the devs here. I'm just saying that whatever the problem was, it must have been something else than what was suggested here.
I like dutty's ROMS but they are based on the HTC 6.1 ROM and not the AT&T ROM. That said, it does take a while getting a GPS fix while using TomTom 6. I have tried the GPStest tweaks but that hasn't worked. Anything else i can do?
That's just the difference between a cold fix and a hot fix.
This just sounds like the difference between a cold fix and a hot fix.
The difference is mostly tied to where you were located the last time you got a fix. But with a new OS install there is likely no past location data for the GPS radio to use so it has no idea where you are and thus no idea where the sats should be in relation.
Therefore when attempting a cold fix it sometimes takes a VERY LONG time for it to get a lock, sometimes you won't be able to get a lock on a cold fix without GOING OUTSIDE under a relatively clear sky.
But once you get that first lock the GPS can calculate the relative locations of ALL the satellites (not that it will be using or receiving the signals from all of them...).
Keep in mind tho that if you are a VERY long distance away from the last place you locked in a fix (like 300 miles or more) that can delay getting a new fix even though that would be considered a hot fix. But the bottom line is that the satellite location data is not 100% accurate since you are far from your last fix location.
But I cannot stress enough that you really should just GO OUTSIDE to get your first fix after a hard reset / new ROM install. Very few GPS receivers do well indoors and I know for a fact that the one in the Kaiser doesn't.
Ever since I upgraded to the at&t 6.1 update, I can't get my Tilt to tell that it even has a GPS device everywhere that I used to use it before the update. I let it sit until it tells me that I have no device or that I have a week signal. I have been trying to use both Telenav and google maps. someone please help give me an idea what I can do to fix this.
I have changed to radio _1.70.19.09 now i get great gps. under a min cold and a few seconds on a warm start.
hey
i also have the 1.70.19.09 and my cold fix always takes at least 2-3 min under clear sky!...which is wayyy to much imho!

Can anyone tell me what's going on with my XDA2i pls. It's been very stable for the past 6 months which is the last time I Sprite backuped. But last week the camera disappeared and Windows media player appeared on the camera button. So I thought I would re-install the ROM then restore from the June Sprite backup - remember I have been using the camera which must have been on that backup.
After the ROM install, the camera is there and working, but if I try to then do a restore from the Sprite backup, the camera is removed.
Thanks
Mike
search it at here, im sure you'll find any camera software to install....
if you need something great camera application, try CoolCamera at www.ateksoft.com
you can do it! Mike!
thanks
Thanks Clustered .... I will definitely try that camera app, - does it improve the quality of the images (I find them much worse than the supposedly poorer camera in my old XDA 2)
I have since discovered that the camera app is not being removed (there are still 4 camera related files in the Windows directory), but all reference to these are being removed somehow, so that the camera program is not visible in the 'Programs' section, nor is it associated with the camera button on soft boot.
I have temporarily got round the problem by placing the camera.exe icon in the SPB Today function, so at least I can get it started with the stylus
Any clues .... should I be looking at some registry entries.
By the way .... ironically I would like to reprogram the default for the camera button to scroll-down which I use in microsoft reader. Do you know how I could do this (tried Vito button mapper yonks ago but it seemed to cause quite a few problems)
Thanks
Mike
I had this, do you find the battery is discharging at a quicker rate??
The history with mine was it lost the cam function swapping to WMP on the button. Only way to cure it was to hard reset.... of course it would go and do the cam fail just when i had got everything set up and running nice for a few months. I found as it went further down the line that using the back up i had would instigate the cam error quicker than if i didnt.
It started to do it more and more. So i sent it back, they said all fixed. of course it wasnt 'cos the internal battery had discharged thus doing a hard reset clearing the error
Finaly on the 3rd return they did a board swap... which meant i had to get tomtom to re do the activation codes for me.
Load of hastle but it hasnt been a problem in 3 months now.
Aaargh ! yes that's exactly what's happening - battery running down quickly, so I just ordered a coupla new ones (fortunately didn't pay the O2 price of £39 and have ordered from Hong Kong at about a fiver).
Sounds like it isn't worth me returning it to O2, as a board swap would cost a lot - it's 13 months old now
Interestingly though ..... a hard reset puts it right, but as soon as I restore data and programs from a Sprite backup, the problem is back. And yet the Sprite backup was done back in June when I definitely wasn't having this problem. And an earlier backup does not cause it. Does it seem possible that one of the applications we are using has a time -related problem? Only thing I can think of recently was the British summer time auto correction.
Thanks
Mike
dont worry bout it being 13months old they got 2 yr warranty!!!! get it down to them now. you will get it sent off, if they dont replace the board, call the number for the repair company as soon as you get it back, tell them its doing the same (as you can tell from my post before the prob clears n they just turn it round) they send you a package and you send it off as a bouncer, give then a fault report, they will swap the board.
make a note of all yer device info, imea, mac address etc. to confirm the board has been replaced.
i put a pen mark on the warranty void sticker under the battery covering the screw to see if they went inside.... they didnt the first times it went back.
if you have tomtom you will need to scan n send them a copy of the board change document to get your codes reset, also send them the device code tomtom gives you when you try to run it. they require that. it took them about 5 days to sort out at tomtom
You know what gets me about this place is i could have just said send it back but i prefer to give folks as much explination... like i would in return.... unlike i have had on posts ive made where folks have said post it in the right section etc.... not telling me where or assuming you understand all about reg editors or rom changes..... following link from page to page is so frustrating... sorry rant over now
hope you get it sorted soon.,... wish i could get my Q's answered.
Thanks mate .... I'll do all that. Fortunately I can afford the time, as I've got a couple of working XDAII that two of our guys ditched in favour of execs, so I'll just set one of those up until they sort the XDAIIi
Thanks
Again
Mike
Me too
Hi Guys
You have described exactly what happened to me. I use a Motorola BT head set (820 I think) and the tom tom navigator 3 with BT satelite reciever.
I gave up in the end. It seemed to be due to the BT stack or somthing to do with the Tom Tom BT drivers. I have 2 xdaIIi's and I now use one as a gps only (does not even have a sim card) and the other one as a phone (with the Motorola head set) I dont have any problems.
If I try to use two BT items together..... with in about one week the moment i loose the camera and the battery lasts about 6 hours from full.
If I remember correctly the head set would stop working or lock up the phone, you then have to do a soft reset then the camera goes etc etc.
I can tell you I am absolutley fed up with BT I am yet to come across a BT anything that works first time every time. Even if it does work today, tomorrow who knows if it will work. The reason i am looking athe postings is because my new £400 Garmin Nuvi 660 wont connect to the XDA!!**!^%$!£"
Any way best ot luck, you are going to need it.
Hmmmmm .... don't think it's bluetooth, as I don't ever have it switched on - I prefer to use the bog standard handsfree speaker kit and don't use GPS/TomTom.
Plenty of things lock up the phone though :-(
I've gone back to my XDA II and ya know what .... I prefer it. The quality of colour saturation on the screen is much better - OK it's not quite as bright as the XDA IIi but the latter is not really any good itrself on a bright day.
.... and the camera in the II is just a gem - OK only 640k but the way it renders the image is just like silk compared to the naff camera in the IIi
... and I'm not really gonna miss the wifi, and I never really bothered using IE in landscape.
So I think I'll stick with the old II and see what you guys think of the Orbit (?) when it comes along
Mike
Well.... great service (eventually) from O2. They sent me a replacement without even waiting for the faulty XDA2i. Bad news is they sent an XDA2s ....but they then sent an XDA2i the next day. It's not brand new but presumably it's been 'reconditioned'.
Charged it up, did a hard reset - camera was there OK. Did a Sprite restore from a known good time (last June). But camera had disappeared again
I guess it's remotely possible that they have sent me the one that Richard (?)returned but I think he said they'd definitely done a board swap on his.
Despite the good advice on here, I'm still inclined to thhink this may be a software conflict problem rather than a hardware issue. And somehow it seems to be connected with time. I had not installed anything new when I suddenly lost the camera about 3 weeks ago. I'm restoring from a Sprite backup that definitely was not displaying any problems when I made it.
Regards
Mike
my cam issue would come back if i used a restore from a good point too. But that was on the old board. Ive just done a full clean install of everything and its seems to be ok. I did wonder is some gimp out there had writen some kind of virus that i had got somehow.
It might be the startup programs/services...
Try checking the Camera_Detect.lnk if it's functioning normally...
Although I'm really not sure if it is the cause but I have a similar problem but not with the camera...
Rather, it's the rotatescreen icon...
I hard reset and the icon is there but when I have installed programs it disappears once I soft reset... not sure which of the programs installed overrides the icon startup...
But I think it's during the startup that somehow make these services (camera, screen rotate, etc.) fail to run because some of the programs might be clashing with them on startups/bootups/soft reset...
I think you might be correct, as the replacemnt XDA2i that O2 sent displayed exactly the same problem when I put all my stuff back on it, but after another hard reset I put just a limited range of utilities back on, and so far in a week or so, it has been faultless

Hi all,
I have noticed the clock on my diamond runs slow. I dont switch the phone off but when I check the time its fallen back by about 3 mins everyday.
Any ideas on how I can rectify this?
Using .07 radio and duttys 1.6
Im having the same problem. Anyone got a solution?
really strange, never noticed before, but I'm currently using a different rom & radio
I have the same problem but it doesn't fall behind as fast, probably 3 mins in a week.
Using Stock 1.93 ROM
Would be great if someone could look into this.
same here....
I have been waiting for an answer for 2 months but no one seems to know how to solve this problem....
... and the same here ...
I have to set my clock every 5 days.
I think it is about 2 to 3 minutes a week.
mine is like 2-3 mins a day...
Same problem with mine: about 2 to 3 minutes a day delay everyday.
I'm using ROM version 1.93.831.1 WWE by the way.
I hope somebody can figure out this bug.
Thanks.
After I set Setting/Phone/Timezone to auto, my clock didn't skip any more. I don't know if it involves data usage though.
Johnny
I tried to tick that also, but it does not work for me...
No problems here on original rom.
maybe there is a serie with a bad crystal inside.
Grtzzz
after midnight..clock is slow
Hello guys....
there's something I notified a few weeks ago, and I saw this thread, so I would like to tell you this...
everytime when it's after midnight for example: 00.20 and then when I turn on the screen with the powerbutton when it's in standby the clock will not move directly to the correct time, but it wil just flip very vast untill the right time....
Does anybody else have this problem to??? I hope somebody understand what I'm trying to say....It's not very frustrating, but at least it's annoying...
thanks guys!!

I have not tried it but will do so when I have time, i.e. when I'm still awake at midnight
Anyway before I go to sleep, I always turned off my unit to conserve the battery. Still the problem persists with regards to time delay of 2 to 3 minutes everyday.

That's what I also do...but still....very strange behaviour and especially if you just want to see before you go to bed, if you havn't missed a call or a text or so..
I don't know how to replicate it, but i've had this happen even at 11am! It doesn't really bother me, though. In fact, i quite like it sometimes! Because of the way it's doing it, I really doubt this is a bug... it must be something done on purpose. Perhaps you can contact HTC about it...

have a tytn II and the same issue with me, the clock runs slower than normal time like 2-3 minutes within 4-5 days.

I have the same problem and posted two messages. I couldn't find a solution yet
I think this might be more wide spread that we think but its not getting noticed by people who sync with PC frequently. I have found that If you use active sync it resets the time to the PC time each time you connect!
Still needs sorting though!!
having the same problem. what I didnt like is my Sony Ericsson phone got an option to get the clock from network so dont have to bother about the time. my diamond seems to lag2-3 min a day. I tried the option GPS clock sync but still it's the same.( i use gps quite often)
hey guys
have been a reader more than a poster on this awesome site..
but i have run into some trouble :/
within the past week, everytime my phone gets slightly hot, the screen alignment goes totally out.. like really out..
for example i manage to open the notes app..
if i tap the extreme left side, the draw tool will draw in either the center, or even far right.. its extremely frustrating.
Happens mostly after a phone call, using gps, or plugging phone into usb/charging..
im using Panosha's 2.2 full
Radio .05
I have tried loading the original HTC rom that came with the phone... no difference..
any help would be greatly appreciated
oh, and i do re-align... 10-15 times a day..
when the phone is cool, it runs like a dream

When you have the same probs with the htc original rom, then it has nothing to do with a cooked roms :-(

ok, thanks dude
will take it in and hopefully get a replacement

if anyone may have a solution.. please let me know asap.. as i will try taking it in on saturday
thanks guys
damn, mine does the same from time to time!
does anybody have a solution?
did a replacement fix the problem?
unfortunately i havnt had a chance to take it in yet, but i have logged the problem with my service provider..
the problem occurs alot more when i used panosha's rom/s
with the default (and now alphazero) the problem seems less frequent, but definitely still happens..
happened badly yesterday when i used gps to get my girlfriend to a casting, but switched on car A/C and after 5 minutes it was cool again *shrug*
its really annoying though
will let u know when i finally get to taking it in, unless u get there first
Hi there, I have the exactly problem what you had. Whenever the machine is hot, it becomes mad. Any solution could be reslove the problem?
It really sounds like a hardware issue... When you return the phone to the store please flash back to the original stock rom (for warranty purposes )
same problem
i am getting he same alignment problem.i do it many times a day but still tapping somewhere on screen taps the other way.very difficult to dial phone numbers

i dont think its an hardware issue,as after i align it works fine for few hours and then i have to align again to make the taps work acurately.........i have heard there is a cab file for it.if any one can post it here.........................or make a cab file so that clicking it makes the alignment as it was default with the new phone
It is a hardware issue. the screen somehow (usually when carried in front pants pocket) will get pressed and SHIFTED. Then screen pushes against the side-cover and this fools the touch-sensitivity of the screen. Try yourself - try to shift screen to one or other side, and directly after it will be better. it's still a service matter though. Send it for repair.
This is a known issue. You need to exchange the unit for a new one.
hey guys...
so late last year i took the phone in and it spent 3 weeks at leaf (HTC distributer here is south africa)
i got the phone back, turned it on in the store.. and guess what... still screwed..
i threw my toys to say the least and got a brand new phone..
the new phone was 110% up until 2 weeks ago..
it started doing the same damn thing (to a lesser extent)
i have found that its a connection problem..
the touch pad is very all over the place if used normally (so basically its unusable)
but if i hold down the top left of the phone(pushing down just above the start menu) with my left hand and use my fingers on my right.. the phone works perfectly again..
does anyone know how to fix this?
its so frustrating, especially knowing im going to be without it for 3 weeks or more again
hmmm ...
i heard that the radio-part is for managing the curcuits.
try an other rom.
but i cant give garanty, i hard it only.
Hey everyone, I'm VERY new to this forum. I have no idea if this post belongs here, so if it doesn't please forgive me. I have spent a lot of time "ghosting" this forum for advice as well as tips and I can't seem to find any threads specifically tethered to my questions.
First off, I'm not even sure I should be posting here because I'm unsure on whether or not questions about the FUZE should be in the Raphael section. I know it's the same phone but I couldn't find one specifically for the FUZE.
Anyway, I'm having a couple problems (mainly with the new rom 5.11 from the htc website.)
The first and formost, I hate the new messaging style they have. I carry my phone in my pocket, and I hate how my phone wakes up every time I get a text message. My screen keeps getting touched after I get a text and ends up pressing things I don't want it to. Also, it used to be that if you kept a convo opened, all the texts you received would count as read. Not the case anymore. I now have to open and close the conversation once for each message I received. 10 messages means opening and closing 10 times. That's ridiculous...I don't want to have to spend a lot of time getting my phone to register I read the texts. My last problem with the messaging, is I used to be able to open the keyboard, and start typing, not worrying about trying o find the last message I received. Unfortunately, now I have to scroll all the way down to read the message, and I have to click the entry box to type. The last one isn't really that big of a problem, it's just more of an inconvience.
The next problem I'm having is my phone likes to use WAY too much battery to do anything. Even when I have no programs running in the task manager, my usage is at 48% (give or take 2%). I know I read somewhere on XDA about a rom that uses 25%, and starts up quickly, but I have no idea where I read that.
I'm not looking for people to just hand me answers or programs or anything like that, but if you guys can just link me to the thread containing where I could possibly find what I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys, Nitro
Hey Nitro i'm going to try and answer your questions (since im still somewhat new im not sure ill be 100% right but ill try =D) ok so for the messaging thing. that is a rom specific thing i think. Becasue i am using a WinMo 6.5 rom and dont have that issue. As for the second thing im not sure if its a WinMo 6.1 problem but i kind of remeber it being a reason i switched to 6.5. Now for battery life you should go into the roms section and look for some kind of rom that says something about energy (usualy there is one in the top list). How ever most of the new rom's are on 6.5 so... you will have to either look far back in the pages or upgrade (and maby if your lucky there might be a 6.1 in the top list.) The energy rom's will also affect your ram usage but be warned it will have an impact on how fast your phone is. So you might have to do a bit of testing to see which ones are for you. Also when looking for the rom make sure it says for the fuze on that page if it is not you can still use it (however you will need to get a thing called keyboard switcher because its really funny when you are trying to send an email and press the @ on your keyboard and get the number 2 =P. Any way here is a link to the roms Link to roms
Thanks for the reply.
I had no idea WM 6.5 was even out...That's awesome. I'm gonna play around a bit with those roms to see if one is better...Thanks for your help
So today I found another big problem I have with the rom I have...I can no longer send a text to more then one person at a time...Why did they take that out?? I used to be able to send a message to a bunch of people, and it worked perfectly, but now it only registered the first person. I noe have to send the same message 15 times just so everyone gets it...Like seriously, As if the rom using 50% power isn't enough, let's make people take 10 minutes to do something that should take 30 seconds. I officially hate the software devs at HTC.
Just as a funny side note, it took me 4-5 min to write this message, and my battery went from 100% down to 92%...AWESOME! God I hate this.
Hello there
You may want to flash a new ROM and Radio to your phone. Its not a difficult task and you will like the results. I personally use NRG's ROM Here and love it.
The radio rom is really what conserves battery life. I matched the latest one on the radio page here to the rom i linked above ( Radio 1.14.25.35) . Its a good combination if you ask me. I see that you are just north of me in PA ( Im in Baltimore ) and also on ATT. To be honest you may have to play with radios until you find the balance between signal strength and battery. What works for me may work for you because we are in the same general area with the same cellular provider. My battery has been off charge for more than 2 hrs and im at 98% ( although ive been on my laptop for the most part).
As far as accidentally hitting buttons, I use a slide lock on my screen ( like the Iphone screen lock) so when it turns on, you have to use the slider to unlock it. This will not only lock your phone from accidental misdials and screen taps, but also it shuts the screen BACK OFF after a set number of seconds therefore conserving your battery !!!!!! This is the application I use . Download the VGA version.
If you need help, feel free to send me a PM here and Ill do my best
P.S.
This is the right place to make a post. A Fuze is a Raphael.
I don't get what has changed. Few months ago I was raving about how amazingly fast this phone picked up gps signal in 30 seconds or less compared to the old phone. But now it takes forever, even with the hotfix. Sometimes it's faster, but generally, very slow, particularly from cold, it can take several minutes or sometimes, nothing. Could having both tomtom6 and tomtom7 on phone be causing a problem? Or do you think it's time to format the phone and reinstall everything?
Use your QuickGPS more often to refresh data and it will pick up your sat's way quicker.
Hope I could help ya.

My QuickGPS is always updated.
you're not trying to get it to work in doors right ?
gps don't work well if at all inside the bricks block too much signal
same reason people keep sat discs outside

No suggestions but I'm experiencing the same issue which began about 5 weeks ago.
For no apparent reason tomtom took an inordinate amount of time to find a sat lock. Mid afternoon, clear sky, no hills/tall buildings for miles. I had to pull over and do a quick gps and restart tomtom. Tomtom was ok to the destination. Next morning, same thing. Day later, same thing. Week later, same thing. In (no particular order) North Lincolnshire, Norfolkshire, South Wales, South Coast, London, Derbyshire ... If I really want a gps lock before I set off I have to do a quick gps. Otherwise tomtom can take 5 to 10 minutes to get a fix.
I've been using totmom since version 2 and I've never had an issue like this.

I might try that then. I generally have quickgps updated or maybe a day left before it needs updating again. So maybe updating everytime before I set off and restarting tomtom will get that fix quicker. Thanks.
Had this behaviour too a while ago, after a soft reset or even after terminating tomtom and fire it straight up again solved the issue.
I have no clue or explanation, but you might give it a try.
i haven't experienced this issue since a few weeks; i flash my device on a regular base, (including radio if recommended), let's me think it has something to do with combination radio/rom.
Disable A-GPS
I was having a problem retaining a fix with TT6 on my Diamond. I did a bit of Googling and was advised to disable A-GPS. Despite it supposedly being there to improve things it did exactly the opposite. This might be totally unconnected to your problem of not getting a fix in the first place but I'd give it a go. Nothing ventured, nothing gained ......
