There's not much to configure but you will need to know what port you are using for Internal gps. I use port 9 but many folks use port 4.
When you know the port number simply start Wififofum, go to tools>Options>GPS - set the port number, tick auto, Baud 4800 and click OK. Wait to get a lock on satellites.
If you have problems identifying what port you are using post back in this thread.

allready find the port @ external gps and configure it, its working, thx
allright, i read somewhere that the option "connect" isnt in the list any more, so how can i connect using wififofum?

My Tilt works with Com4 and 4800 for the "Baud Rate". Not sure what else you're asking about. It sometimes takes a little time befor I get a GPS lock. Be patient when waiting for a GPS lock and also let us know what problem or error you are seeing.

Having Problems with GPS and AT&T Tilt

I purchased a tilt about 2 weeks ago and have been using the gps fine with navadi htc gps tool, ms live search, and google maps. In fact im on a trip in san diego today and i was using the gps earlier today with google maps. I was lost for a while and i couldnt get the gps to work google maps wouldnt lock onto a sattelite, next i went into the windows settings and it wouldnt save anything under the hardware tab. After searching the net and not getting anywhere i decided to run clear storage to reset the tilt. I reset it and now google maps says it cant find a gps device at all. So i installed and ran the htc gps tool. When the device is set to communicate on com 4 htc gps tool says open com port failed. When i change the windows options and htc tool options to communicate on com 3, htc gps tool gives me no errors but also doesnt report any data being recieved. Im really hoping the gps isnt broke i didnt do anything to the phone physically to damage the gps but i have been running the phone at 57600 baud instead of 4800. If anyone has any experince with this gps unit or has had this problem i would appreciate any help. Also if its agreed this is just a phone problem is there usually a warantee or should i use the at and t insurance i bought whats the best rout here im not sure if i saved the phones recipt.

learn to use the enter button on your keyboard...and try turning agps off

i just checked agps it is off
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS]
EnableAGPS=0
is there anything else i could try. Like i said i did clear the storage so everything should be back to default settings.

problem solved

Instead of just saying "problem solved", how about letting the rest of us know what happened....sorry rant over

acually im not quite sure what i did. I just set everything back to defualt in the gps settings com 4 at 4800 baud and the gps tool was able to communicate with the gps again.
Im just not quite sure what i did, i mean orginally it wasnt working with the default settings .
Also ive been having a real hard time getting gps locks lately i find myself having to use gps tool to constantly clear the gps memory, then i have to reopen it and preform a hot start. I never had to do tat befhore this problem. I have regular quick gps updates too. When i open gps tool it just tells me mode 2 fix not available. This happens after using google maps 2 or 3 times.

Have you been playing with the "External GPS" application? That's known to cause serious problems with the GPS, even requiring a hard reset (although I saw work being done to restore some registry settings to default to avoid needing the hard reset)

I dont think so im not even sure what the external gps application is. I use a tilt so i dont have all the cool htc stuff ive downloaded and installed google maps, ms live search, quickgps, and the navadi htc gps tool. I did a hard reset and am still having trouble locking the gps in with out using gps and clearing the gps.
Strange part is i was on a trip and google maps was working fine all day and for weeks before the trip. All the sudden it just stoped getting a lock. Didnt drop the phone change any software settings or anything.

you most likely didnt have to do a hard reset...to get a good gps lock you need to download satelite information through QuickGps every 6 days but i do it everytime i use my gps through live search to get a god satelite fix everytime. and with the externa gps settings i set it to any port usually com 0 and never mess with the software tab , only hardware...the baud rates too you dont need to mess with that, just choose a com, quickgps download and soft reset u should always get a fix...if thir are still problems search for gps tweaks

....or don't touch the application at all and use com4?

GPS problem

First time i had used Goole map en tomtom 7 that was good adn my diamon found gps satellites. But now programs are finding the reciever but do not find any satellites. I made 4 hard reset and now it is the same "nothing". Is there someone who know how to fix it.
Thanks
Ps: I am belgian so excuse me for my english, I am doing what I can

same problem to me with navigon navigator 6. it automatically found the gps device but no satellites.
check the baudrate! it has to be 4800

All is good ( and at factory default ) COM 4 and 4800 but no signal in any programs (google map, IGO 8 , TOMTOM 7 , GPS positionning for wifi site survey)

I had make a new hard reset and reused goole map all good and reinstall IGO 8 and all good but I hope it will not change a new time. For IGO 8 I had used the normal install and not changing any thing but it used port 4 at 57600 for running. If something chang in a few days and no gps signal and satellites again I will post a new question. That is not as simple as a PDA with internal or external antenna with SD.

What's your settings in Settings/system/external GPS?

settings:
programmes : com 4
material : none and 4800
access : gps auto gestion "on"

@ dge
Het is ook mogelijk dat je het programma QuickGPS even moet runnen voordat de sateliet gevonden wordt. Om de 6 dagen even opnieuw downloaden.
Let me know..

sorry I do not speek weel deutsh and I had not undestand all in your reply. can you tell me that in english or french. This time I am not using the update of GPSquick but I can try and see. If you know how to disable it tel me too.
And excuse me spikelee I realy need to learn néderlands

What about trying to change to first tab com2, second tab com4 4800, that's my setting and it works on all mentioned programs. I've selected com2 in TomTom.

I have not try because tomtom 7 just select for me the config and do not let me edit the settings, I will try on the divice only and tell you. but I notice that the 2 times that I install fring I had lose my GPS signal, the GPS is still detected but no signal.
Thanks to everybody

Could it be that you've enabled the Assisted GPS (for example with Schnap's advanced configurator?). I've read that this could cause some problems as well.

I have not enable A-gps and not downloaded QuickGps info. The last time that i used Advance config, just after the install my phone was realy slow without touching anything in config. But I do not know the difference between A-GPS and QuickGPS in the tabs.

Don't know the exact difference either, so from what I've understood: QuickGPS needs information from the internet in order to be able to get a quick fix as it knows more or less where you are from the GSM antenna's you connect to. AGPS helps in case there is no or bad GPS reception to get more or less a fix.
QuickGPS is functional and really helps. AGPS is not necessary in my opninion.

I agree with you.

When I am using Quick GPS I am getting in some trouble with GPS but I will Try with other config like someone say earlier. For the moment I am Using tomtom7
and I will Install fring in few seconds + Wififofum and see if there is any think that change. After I will use QuickGPS and see.

Quick GPS dont uses the gps hardware, it just downloads the position of the satellites for 6 days in advance. So your gps device knows where to look for the satellites.

for that I was reading somewere to use " othe NEMA " and it is finding directly GPS satellites so no need to wait 3 min for good GPS signal and it is working realy fine. There is only com 4 and com 7 but on com for its good, in IGO 8 that is 57600 baude on com 4 with internal and I do not know if I can use 57600 without killing my GPS antenna. For the moment all goes right and I hope it will continue, the first time that I experienced problems that was 2 after using prog or soon after a hard reset.
Thanks for those explainations and helping me, Iam sure that it will help other guys to.

oops, my bet.
Before you try change the setting(witch i believe must be correct) you have te run the QuickGPS prog. When downloaded it will give you a valid time(i think 6 days and a couple of hours). If you don't refresh this it won't work..

MDA GPS not avalible?

hello all!
i really hate to post a thread on something thats probably already been solved with an easy answer but after 2 hours searching/head scratching and various tools/program downloads i cannot for the life of me get my kaiser's built in gps to work.
on the phone:
T-mobile (uk) MDA Vario 3
R: 1.27.12.32
(edit: i now know this to be an older german/russian version, any advice on a newer version appreciated)
G: 22.45.88.07
D: 1.56.00.00
ive tried setting to com4 with various baud rates (weirdly it hung when i tried it with 4800 and had to soft-reset so didnt work!) ive installed vaious programs (GPStest/GPS info/ GPS Gate etc etc) with all programs including tom tom 7 saying that theres no GPS device!
im pulling my hair out!
im guessing i'll need to update the firmware but hopefully not!
im on my knees for help!
(btw, thanks for reading this!)

The best way how to start gps is:
start quickgps and download the data, then if u have installed gps test, start it and wait for it to find the satelites. Dont change the options. Try to be outside and not in house or building.

no
the GPS is not being found, it is either disabled by the rom/radio or is Fubar!
simply downloading location data isnt going to get it to work!
unplug your computer, walk off into the distance, put it on the floor and tell it where it is.
does it turn on and boot to windows?
me thinks not.

I dont understand what do u mean. I think the mda cant have the gps disabled, I have htc kaiser and the steps that I wrote always works for me.

perhaps you are running different firmware/roms ???
having fiddled with gps gate some more, an amberish/red led on the right side has started to flash, but still no programs can find the gps! i thought tomtom7 had it when it paused on com4 but then it stayed like that for 15 minites!
Grrrrr
and sorry mikulec for the harsh response, this is really getting on my nipples now!

yes I have a different rom.
Another option - try to disable the assisted gps, for that u need to install schaps advanced config - that is a very helpful application.
There can be also one possibility that your gps is faulty.

i will try that and post back
cheers for your help so far!

U are welcome and I wish u luck.

'could not open com7 it may be in use'
but nothing else happens!

Go to settings/system/external gps and tell me what settings(in the 3tabs-programs,hardware,access) u have set there.

Have you seen this Configuring Tomtom 6 thread linked to from the Wiki yet? If you've tried all of that and still it doesn't work, if it was me I'd hard reset and make Tomtom Navigator the only program I next installed then I'd test it again without making any configuration changes to it (at least the version I use, I don't know if other versions require any fiddling about to get them to work but TTN 6.032, Google Maps and Microsoft Live Search have all been just a case of once it's installed do a soft reset (not even sure this essential but I do it anyway) and then when I start them up, they work fine). Be very patient and give it ages out in the open to find satellites the first time after a fresh install/hard reset.

No GPS after official update
Hi,
I've got very similar problem : i've upgraded my Kaiser with a official rom/radio from Orange FR (wm 6.1, rom 3.31.73.0 FRE, radio 1.65.16.25).
Since this upgrade, my Kaiser cannot find the inboard GPS. I tried using Google maps, ViaMichelin, OrangeNavigation, and many GPS tools... none of them was able to find the GPS !
That sucks.
I called Orange 2 days ago, and i'm waiting for a response. I'll post there if any news.
Mathieu

yes please mathieu, would be good to hear what they suggest!

gps not connecting :/

hi, i've got a problem :/ I have Kaiser and my gps can't connect :/ it's still "searching for gps..." my radio is: 1.65.16.25. Maybe somebody help what is wrong with this. Thanks a lot!

i actually have the same problem ... GPS is simply not working except for Google maps.

just to give you some tips:
port that should work is port 4 and the baud rate : 9600.
it will take like easy 7 minutes before it finds some satellites..
this is the a problem or an issue that is difficult to solve, but if you wana read more on this and how to enhance your GPS with different tools like , quick GPS, HTC GPS Tool ..etc. ..
check this |ink: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477
I have tried Tomtom and IGO , both of them are to slow in finding satellites...
let us know if this worked for you!
waiting for better solution..

I have Garmin XT on mine and I have a similar problem. I will be tracking fine, then it will say GPS OFF. and then it will come back on a few minutes later.
