Help...GPS software problem - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

I have a HTC P4550 Kaiser.
I tried to install iGo 2006 plus, but is not working. After the progam is installed and I try to start the application nothing is happening. The windows mobile 6.1, is preinstalled, everything seems to work fine, except the GPS software. I bought the device from US, with the windows allready installed.
If someone knows how to fix this...
Thanks!

You could try turning off AGPS with Advanced Config, this has seemed to help a few people!

Did you choose the correct COM port? [email protected]?

For iGO if you use the search function you will find out that it does not work when htc home is enabled on WM6.1 AFAIK i had to turn it off.
Works on WM6.0

iGO 2006/2008, MioMap and wm6.1

There seems to be a problem with iGO and Mio. When you launch it, nothing happens.
I found a way to make it work - sometimes it requires to do a soft reset for it to work:
Security Warning - turn it to disable and it should work.
Well for me it does not work following your recommandations
Software: iGO 2006 Myway Plus
ROM: XTRM 1.0-6.1x WWE TILT X-version
Which ROM are you using?
both worked for me on Duttys, Alex's, and Sleuth's roms...be sure to have the security disabled as well as assisted GPS disabled.
Something else
I have seen posts about a conflict between one of the HTC today plugins causing a problem with IGO & MIO, I had used both on the WM 6.0 ATT factory rom but no joy on the 6.1 roms (I am sorry that I have not tested to see the exact item causing the problem) I started to use Tom Tom and that is working well for me (you can get the demo version with one free local map Download) or the full version is only about $150.00
Cheers

I just tested both iGO 2006/2008 making sure both the security alerts and the assisted GPS were disabled and even disabling the HTC Home plugin.
Result: still a no go I am afraid (the programs don't even launch)
EDIT: actually I did a hard reset on the rom I was on and now strangely it works
where can i find igo2008 ? I would test it.

With both disabled on 3.03 stock WM6.1 rom, iGo 06 still doesn't work.
I can honestly say that I have no idea what its not working for some of you...I just pulled mine up last night to map a route (igo06). I havent really done anything special to the settings other than what I mentioned earlier. Sorry I could not be of more help.
It may have to do with the <ahem> legality of the various versions of iGo/Miomap that people are using.

What ROM do you have?... Some roms have modded the XIP protocol allowing iGO and MIOMAP to function.
For those that have iGO, the problem is not in running the program. It is in the installation. some ROMs would halt the installation at about 80%, the installation meter disappears however your screen will display the iGO logo and program. When clicked .. nothing happens .. since the installation, due to a conflict, did not finish.
Weighing all the nice features of WM6.1 against the less troubles WM6.0, I would choose the WM6.0 any time. I can deal with not having a feature of two, but it is frustrating to have your phone crap out on you because of A NICE FEATURE as in 6.1.
my 3 1/2 cents....

I had the same problem, turned off the HTC Today.. and then iGO 2006 would work.
..I don't know about iGO 8 ?!?
I gave up on WM6.1
I have now all my programs installed and functioning great on Sleuth 1.2. with WM6.0
iGO never functioned as good with any other ROM. I installed Opera full and TCPMOP core player and I can watch U-Tube and can stream video and music from any source.
The Sleuth 1.2 is the best ROM out there so far. If you flash Sleuth's ROM please donate accordingly.
I had an issue with IGO, where it wouldn't start or would take ages to load if my network connection was established.
However, if I clicked disconnect from media net or isp, or whatever, it would loads right up...
Everytime.

iGo doesn't start after installing.
I'm using Dutty's 6.1 final.
I made it work! Just remove HTC Home from Today screen, keep Mio on Today screen. Then do soft reset, then click on Mio on Today screen and it starts!
btw, I don't need fancy HTC Home after 5 minutes trying it...

I too can get it to run by disabling the HTC Home plugin but would like it to work with the plugin enabled because its a pain to have to keep doing that...anyone have any ideas....I got a six pack for anyone who can solve this issue....
My rom varies day to day. But I just worked with miomap alot this weekend while on a retreat. Worked fine with Sleuths 6.1.
MIO Stopped working for me as well.
I was able to get it to work with disabling the HTC HOME screen.
I have CE OS 5.2.19199 Build 19199.1.0.0
ROM Version: DCSv1.5-WM6.1 WWE
ROm Date: 01/29/08
Radio: 1.64.08.21
Protocol: 25.74.40.02H
Where is the option to modify the SECURITY SETTINGS?
I want to bump this thread up..
There's gotta be a fix for this. I want to have HTC Home and be able to run iGo.
Anybody know what can be done about this? Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?
confirmation
i can confirm that disabling the home plugin and assisted gps allows iGo 2006 to be installed.
you can then just turn them back on.
<edit> No ... I'm wrong ... if you turn the home plugin and assisted gps back on ... iGo stops working.
Now it was working when i was using a different 6.1 rom, but I cant remember which now.
A
if you turn off the today plugin and soft reset your device
both igo2006 and igo8 works...
if some chefs could make a solution to work it without soft reset we could have a script to turn it on and off...
do you know mortscript?

Maybe new problem with igo8 & wm6.1 official rom

Hi,
i've benn searched in the forum but i've not found any notice about my problem....
that is, when i install igo8 the setup seems to end successfully, but when i tap on the igo icon nothing happens, even disabling htc home.
i've realized that in the igo8 folder the sys.txt file is'nt there...
in addition igo don't appears in installed software in system tab, and tapping on unistall igo8 in programs nothing happens.
someone can help me??
Which version of IGO are you using?
I suggest you uncheck the IGO checkbox in the start-today-items, and see whether it helps.
If that doesn't work, try uninstalling previous versions first.
I had a similar problem with my HW6910 when I installed an upgraded (legal) version of IGO 2006.

Yeah, THX! Had the same problem
I have the same problem with iGO8 and WM6.1
Hi to all
I have the same problem with my Kaiser (RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship) and iGO8(full edition), when I disable HTC Home plugin and Soft reset, iGO starts. But if HTC Home plug in is enable with iGO happens nothing when try to run it.
But the question is HTC or iGO will change something in their software?
iGo8 works perfectly with Garmin DK3.1 and the final both with HTC home enabled. I'm using the 3.1 right now. I havent flashed the final yet but others have reported that the final works as well.
iGO8 Ver. 8.0.0.41506 (June 3, 2008) works perfect with WM 6.1 AT&T official ROM 3.57.502.2 WWE OS 5.2.19214 (Build 19214.1.0.4)
NO ERRORS! HTC Home plug is NOT disable!
yes, latest iGO8 fixed the bug with HTC home.
;-)
...and where can be downloaded the latest iGO8? ;-)
i'm using the latest igo8 with the latest north america map.
it runs fine but never finds the gps.
google maps and tomtom both find the gps.
any suggestions?
IGO download?
where can I find the latest IGO for download?

thanks.
i put that in and i put a check on "enable gps device" and it still doesn't work
it scans that port and every other and can't find it.
Did you have any problem with the "GPS active" checkbox?

I had to revert to the previous ATT ROM because of this (the USE GPS checkbox in the GPS SETUP screen wouldn't stay checked).
Mistarip, were you able to retain the checkmark?

i got it working.
i disabled assisted gps and it worked.
it automatically put a check on "enable gps device"
it works good now. i like the tomtom better though
tomtom makes the best gps software. they care more about functionality than graphics.
this solution has a high cost...

APGS gives me an almost instant fix most of the time.
The only times it takes a couple of minutes for TFF is when I travel abroad, or when I upgrade the IGO version.
What are the fix times for you, w/o AGPS?
Have you tried any of the other solutions, eg "GPS Quick Position.cab" or "SH4Y's QuickGPS Fix.CAB" given elswhere in this forum?
And which version of IGO are you using?
Thank you.

Quick GPS Diamond

Hi to all
I've the same problem that many people have, as I've seen here in the forum.
Quick gps doesn't update anymore. I've tried all the registry tweaks that I've found but nothing. I've written to HTC but they don't have answered.
I've tried quickgps from kaiser but without success. So, I should do an Hard reset but I want avoid it. Is there someone that has the cab for the diamond's quickgps ? I've seeked here and in other forums but I don't have have found anything. Perhaps reinstalling the original cab should resolve the problem.
My quickgps version is 1.0 build 1815.2630. Rom is 1.37 official from HTC, italian.
Thank you very much to all
here you , QuickGPS 1.04

Sorry, but perhaps I don't have explained myself well.
The file you've attached is GPStest to test gps connection. I am seeking quickgps, the cab that allows internal gps to fix faster.
Sorry for misunderstanding
you can get it from here i think

Thanks a lot, but I have tried it yet. I think that only the specific version for diamond go. When i try to install another version it says me "digital signature with certified reliable not available" etc.
Perhaps because another version is yet installed, but, being in rom, it's impossible to uninstall it. So I wanted the same version installed to overwrite it hoping it will function well.
QuickGPS connection failed
hi all.
i am also having some trouble with my touch diamond (p3700) & quickGPS.
i've had the p3700 for 2 months, and so far so good. i used quickGPS when i first got the p3700 and all worked well. i have loads of apps installed, and around 5 GPS included ie. GarminXT, Route66, iGO8, MapKing2007 etc. all have been working well.
yesterday i decided to update the packedEphemeris data via quickGPS, and after multiple attempts, each attempt would advise "Connection failed try again later"
the next thing i have noticed is that all my GPS apps cannot connect to satellites any more. i tried by leaving my p3700 connected in my car with a clear view of the sky, and even after an hour or more, none of the GPS apps successfully ocked onto any satellites.
in comparison, my other HTC (artemis) p3300 was able to lock onto satellites within a few minutes or less with any of the same GPS apps, also i downloaded the latest packedEphemeris data via quickGPS successfully while i attempted to do so with p3700 yesterday and today. so i know its not anything to do with wifi et al. connections etc.
nothing new has been installed, nor uninstalled on the touch diamond...
so whats up with that???
i have sent an email to HTC support and am awaiting their advice.
i really don't want to have to resort to a hard reset, as installing all those apps will take me a day.
anyone can post their quickGPS reg folder please... from their TOUCH DIAMOND
thanX
I have had this problem where Quick GPS will not update, either from ActiveSync (as it did automatically before), via WIFI or 3G/HSPDA. Whilst at the same I found that You Tube will no longer work so there is definitely some issue with it. By doing a hard reset got it to work again but I think at some point it will stop, so any answers will be most useful (for us all!).
GPS and Internet calling
Everything was working fine unless I installed WM6 Voip application to use my Diamond to make internet calling, thereafter no GPS recognition by tom tom and no luck with Quick GPS as well. Hard resetting the device solved the problem and again I installed the WM 6 Voip application and again no luck with GPS. I did that three times and concluded that unlocking WM 6 Voip feature blocks GPS ports. If you are using WM 6 Voip then you might not be able to use GPS as I experienced.
I have the same problem:the quick gps won't update.If you find anything as a solution please inform!
Solution with Quick GPS update.WORKS!
This solution works and has nothing to do with registry hacks,installing cabs etc..Well lets start:
1)Open Internet Explorer from your Diamond(Start-->Internet Explorer)
2)From the Favourites menu go to the HTC web page(should load,normaly)
You are done!Go to the quick gps and now you can update as before!(It seems that the Diamond losts his way to the internet but as soon as you go to the HTC page,the way described here,the problem is solved!)
thanks for that, just tried it and it worked perfectly!!
Very weird, I had the same problem and the IE trick worked.
Thank you, elflost
I'm having the same issue with quickgps not updating and getting a a connection error. I tried the IE trick but it still didn't work. Any other ideas?
OMG that's crazy!
I was trying all sorts of things and I just opened IE (first time I ever have as I've been using Opera instead) and now both QuickGPS and the YouTube are working again.
Thanks very much for posting, now I don't have to waste anymore of my evening looking for solutions.
Cheers.
The trick with IE solved the issue with me too. That's a bit weird, every other programs are able to find the internet connection through wifi..

Quick GPS (and you tube) not working
Excellent ! excellent congratulations ! It worked for me too !! I wish HTC support were a bit more awake and gave some basic but good afvises ! THANK YOU !
Fantastic post - worked perfectly on my Diamond running Google Maps. Thank you!

Soft, Gps...problem? Need some directions!

I have a HTC P4550 Kaiser.
I tried to install iGo 2006 plus, but is not working. After the progam is installed and I try to start the application nothing is happening. The windows mobile 6.1, is preinstalled, everything seems to work fine, except the GPS software. I bought the device from US, with the windows allready installed.

IGO8 and A-GPS : Solved

On most ROMs I had, it was impossible to start IGO8 alone while AGPS was on. The PDA would simply freeze or never detect the GPS.
The workaround was simple however, you had to start the GPS with another software before (and staying in background).
Recently, I found this thread on Development And Hacking and I gave a try. This is a driver enhancement to fix lag. But as a side effect, it prevents IGO from freezing !
I can finally start Igo8 alone, it works great !
(results may vary depending on the ROM - I'm using TPC StockLike 23049)
yes, you are right. my igo8 now starts with a-gps on if i run VisualGPSce first. (i used advanced config to turn it off a-gps a while back)
but what does a-gps do? it was not any quicker fixing. or am i missing something?
on the page you linked, what exactly did you install? there cabs and registry fixes (sorry i am being lazy, there are 14 pages)
I've just installed the cab on the first post (v0.9) and voilĂ , no registry change needed (those are for fine tuning).
igo8 version?
Which igo8 version you used? I have been using a lot of different igo 8 versions and never had a problem not detecting the GPS. A-GPS asks me weeky to allow downloading the newest GPS data from internet, so I guess I am using A-GPS as well.
The GPS itself is not too quick though, my g/f's diamond locates our position every time way quicker. Will this cab you mentioned speed-up getting the fix?
I used PDA Corner ultimate x-v4 to date, just upgraded to x2-v11.
Altough QuickGPS is asking to download every now and then, that does not mean that AGPS is enabled. Most ROMs I have used (PDACorner's ROMs included) disable AGPS by default.
Any version of iGO I used would freeze with AGPS enabled, while they work with AGPS disabled.
From what I tested, the driver lag fix helps when moving slowly or not moving at all. It doesn't get a GPS fix faster. However, since it redirects GPS calls, iGO does not freeze.
AGPS can help getting fixes in a couple seconds. Diamond has no issue with iGO and AGPS.
Grrrr
Doet voor mij geen donder. Jammer
Didn't do the trick for me. Installed GPSMod 1.39 on Ultimate X-2 V11 ROM on a Tilt (TyTN II) and IGO still hangs on 'Starting'
This is using the default GPSMod Port Com1.
If someone does get this working on a TyTN II / Tilt, let me know
