GPS problem using MGMaps - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to get MGMaps to work on my Xperia.
I installed:
JBed 20080912.5.1 (the newest version I could find)
MGMaps 1.41.03 (the latest development release found on mgmaps.com)
GpsPortSP.exe (free GpsGate equivalent)
All seem to work flawlessly, I can brows through the maps, and I can even use an offline map....but.....I am unable to get my GPS to work.
Everytime I select "GPSGate" in mgmaps' options, I get an error saying "GPS connectivity throug GPSGate is only available on Windows-Mobile phones.
I am using the stock Dutch vodafone which is WM6.1.
Did anybody here get it to work? And if yes....how?!

MGMaps
I am using Xperia X1, WM6.5.1 (23060), Esmertec Jbed 20090217.5.1R2 and MGMap 1.42.01 - it's worck.
I can use option for GPS device:
Internal - work, but after turning off MGMaps and Jbed my X1 still loseing power. May be GPS stay ON
GPSGate - I prefer this metod whit GpsPortPPC.exe ( Input: COM4, Output: 20175 ).

NEW MIDlet Manager with Google Sat Maps!!!

HI ALL,
risidoro is back!
EDIT: VERSION 11.1.7.1023 IS NO MORE THE LATEST ONE. I'VE PUBLISHED THE MOST UPDATED VERSION (.1034) HERE. PLS USE THAT ONE AND DO NOT CONSIDER ANY MORE THE POST BELOW!!!
I'm here to release a New and Improved version of the great:
Intent MIDlet Manager version 11.1.7.1023
This new MIDlet Manager comes from the new HTC Herald ROM, version 1.2.405
This new version is JTWI 1.0 compliant and SUPPORTS Google's SATELLITE Maps (of course, you need to download Google Maps' client from www.google.com/gmm).
This release also supports sending SMSs from Opera Mini 3.0 (mini.opera.com)!!!
Some Details about the program:
Developer: Intent
Name: MIDlet Manager
Version: 11.1.7.1023
Build: 20060907
JWTI v.1.0 Compliance!
------- HOW TO INSTALL ------------
- Download Risidoro's Intent MIDlet Manager version 11.1.7.1023
- extract the cab (inside the archive) somewhere in your PC (e.g. Desktop)
- copy to somewhere in your PocketPC (e.g. \storage card)
- in your PocketPC, navigate with File Manager to the cab and tap on it to install
- when asked, choose to install in the Device (and NOT in Storage Card!)
- reboot when asked
PS: It can be installed over previous version (or in roms where the old midlet is included)!
-------- WORKING MIDLETS ---------------
So far, i've only tested it with the midlets i use the most.
- Google Maps runs fine. Satellite maps are supported!!!
- Opera Mini 3.0 runs OK too and supports SMS sending. Even softkeys works! Photo blog feature, however, is not supported
- Mobile GMaps, beta 1.30.08. Simply wonderful. Sat images for google and yahoo maps.
- MobileMule (latest beta) works ok.
-------- PROBLEMS SO FAR (and possible solutions) ---------------
- a user wasn't able to use this version to connect to the Internet through a proxy
---> use a direct connection to the Internet; check your proxy; downgrade to the old MIDlet manager version.
- the cab cannot be installed due to a security warning
---> soft-reset and retry; use MS Certificate Powertoy for Windows Mobile 5 to disable all the security checks
- If you want to revert back to the old version of the Intent MIDlet manager:
Download the Intent MIDlet manager version 10.1.7.551
Bye bye
ENJOY
Great job as always risidoro!
Thanks!
Thanks...will install shortly.

Sweet, thanks! I was just lamenting this problem a couple of days ago.
Great work! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the file. I'll give it a try later.
Thanks!
As always, you rock!
Great work and thanks a lot
Thanks for the file, Risidoro. I have downloaded it, and will try it later. Good to have a better midlet manager.
For those concerned with using gmaps on their phone, however, there are a couple free native Windows Moble programs which will display such maps. I find them much more convenient than using a Java midlet, no matter how good the midlet manager might be.
One such program is called Map4PDA, another one is Virtual Earth Mobile. And there is also Microsoft's new beta "Live Search". There may be more, these three come to mind right away. (I don't have the URLs handy. You can find them with a search.)
There is also another Java midlet map program called MGMAPS, which I find more flexible than Google's GMAPS. (It will show the Google maps, or the Microsoft maps, or Yahoo maps, and has other more flexible features.) However, I still find it much simpler to use a Windows Mobile app, rather than a Java midlet.
why use the google one? dny238 found an app that is free and blows the google maps out of the water.
http://wls.live.com
will even allow you to use your gps reciever with it and update the image as your driving.. just my .02 cents
and if i could learn to read it looks like "me" mentioned this one above

I prefer native applications too (although i couldn't live without Opera Mini) but microsoft's maps haven't a good satellite coverage in italy compared to google maps so i don't like MSN virtual earth or Live search very much. I didn't know Map4PDA and i'm going to install it very soon, i hope it supports google sat maps!
Thanks for the suggestions. Let me know if you remember some other google maps compatible native software.
Bye

I can read and yes, i know MS's Live search; however, as i said, MSN satellite maps are not much detailed outside US, especially in Italy.
With Google sat maps i can zoom over my house until i can even see my car parked in front of it! With MSN sat maps i can only see all my town, when i try to zoom more i see a message informing the area is not mapped.
BTW, i've just tried map4pda and i've found it slower than mgmaps (a midlet). Map4pda is a .Net 2 application so it's not a real 'native' application, its code is managed (or runtime) exactly like any java applet.
I'll stick with mgmaps until i find a real, compiled, ppc application.
Anyway, if you believe in the newer-is-better paradigm like me (*), you will want to update your midlet manager with the newer version i posted. Just my two cents.
(*) the paradigm doesn't apply to MS's latest OS. IMHO, XP (or 2003 server) is ways better than Vista!

i guess i sometimes forget that not everywhere is covered as detailed as the US..
anyway, im getting ready to try this on my 8525/hermes and will let you know if it works on it!
**EDIT**
works great on the hermes, and im lazy and posted this copy/paste on the hermes board, and gave you the proper credit for the work!
thanks but I wasn't able to complete the install of the new MM on my MDA Vario II (Hermes) due to some "security warnings". after going back to some previous midlet manager (v10.1.7.551) I ALWAYS get an error message (sth like "midlet won't run") if I try to run ANY java midlet (jar or jad). any ideas on how to solve this?

Try soft resetting your phone before installing the CAB.

FWIW, the Map4PDA works well with a bluetooth GPS receiver and Faria's 12mb AKU3.2 ROM RC1. (I overclock and plug in the charger and the phone/map/GPS plotting zips along).

I tried installing this version yesterday, but found I cannot connect via a proxy on my tzones setup. I uninstalled and put the version I pulled from X's extended ROM and it worked fine. Not sure if anyone is interested, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

tomtom 6 !?

Hi, is there anyone out that has tomtom 6 running on his phone???
i looked at the tomtom homepage and i don't really can find a clue how to manage this...
i have an tomtom bt gps receiver and from my tytn a tomtom6 installation...
once i had managed it that i starts like it should but on map selection i cant scroll... the joystick up/down just changes volume...
There are two version of TomTom, one for the PDA-phone (e.g. with touchscreen) and the other is for Smart-phone (e.g. without touchscreen). Make sure you've purchased the correct version.
You should install a touchscreen emulation.

3rd Party Software that WORKS on ATT/Cingular 750 with WM6

Those of you with a 750 on the ATT/Cingular network with the new WM6 please post your experiences with 3rd party software (what works, what doesn't).
After reading the current WM6 threads it is obvious that there is a big difference on how well WM6 works across the different carriers and brandings. So I would like to limit this thread to ATT/Cingular (hopefully others will start threads for different carriers). I think the biggest barrier to most of us in upgrading is whether the hundreds of dollars of 3rd party software we had on WM5 will still work on WM6.
I am especially interested to see people's reviews on spb apps, wizbar, smallmenu, Handy Switcher, MemMaid, Mortscript, TomTom 6, SlingPlayer, Goodlink/GMM, AEbutton Plus or other button mappers.

Those of you that are getting TomTom6 to work, what kind of GPS receiver do you have? And is it connecting each time you start TT6?

i'm using a Holux GPSlim 240 - TT6 works perfectly, it connects each time I start and navigates fine.
I cannot seem to get my "ebay-purchased" bluetooth GPS receiver to work with TT6 anymore. It worked fine when it was still on WM5 but even though i CAN connect to the GPS receiver when adding it manually, TT6 doesn't recognise it whatsoever.
i MIGHT have forgotten to do some settings, so if someone else does have a bluetooth GPS receiver please help me out! i need to navigate a lot to get to client's offices for my work and i cannot live without TT6!!
Just to make sure, did you set the 'outgoing port' in the bluetooth settings to match what TT6 uses?
Blackberry Connect 4 on WM6 rom ?
Hi
Has anyone had any success with Blackberry Connect 4 on the WM6 Rom ? I was trying over and over unsuccessfully on my 750c and I had the same symptoms as on WM5: Network Available -> Suspended by user, no IP address, no PIN (shows Pending)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
HC

yes i have... i dont remember this... but do i need to check the Serial Port service in the Partnership Settings? and do i need to set up anything in the External GPS (Start -> Settings -> External GPS) for it to work?
i got a feeling i got my TT6 to work with my GPS by fluke when i was using WM5 which is why i'm having trouble now... i will try again tonight and see how it goes. Thanks!

shift navigation tools

ok
thanks to the last releases of taïhugo, we are able to use the built in gps of our shift,
now let us see what solution we have to use as a nor;al gps navigator...
because we dont have sd acess from snapvue, we need to use on the fly mapping software.
telnav is ok but not free..
googlemaps zorks great but its not a real time navigation apps
finally i have tried 3 freewares.
amaze gps ,,,, working but its an alpha versionm for now..
nav4all dont work with my wap connection
and.....
mappymobi very very good similar to tomtom .. 3d interface great and clear voice poi qnd free
garmin mobile xt is payware, but europe maps are small, so I can put one on only 6 meg for example
could you tell me the way you succeeded to use garmin on shift? I saw from garmin's web site that it only works from SD...
Of course apart from donkeys and mules... ;-)
Download from garmin site, install to a SD card or usb drive. Get the garmin folder, copy it to the root of WInmo side. Run queppc in apps/wm folder. You will have to buy a key though.
Thanks Thaiugo... and not only for this info, but for your great work too!
PC Navigation Software

PC Navigator 8 - from www.mapfactor.com
Still bad beat with Autoroute... anyone ?
n't want to sound that much garmin fanboy, but garmin pc can work with internal gps too.
To setup, you must use franson gps on wm side and on vista side, using activesync connection passtrough, and a com0com free driver on vista side to give access to garmin. When using this drivers, you must rename the default com post to COM7 and COM8 for example, to see them in franson gpsgate.

Tomtom 6 Navigator - Xperia - display problem

Hello,
I have a original Tomtom 6 Navigator SD card version 660 but after installing in my Xperia X1 it launches and only displays in the top third of the screen.
Just after this comes an ERROR.
Opening the error repport I cna read:
EvntType: "WinCE501bExceptio"
Anyone had this display error ?
How did you overcome it ?
Or can I use my UK&Irl maps on TTN7 ?
Thank you for your help.
best regards
Shiv
TomTom
Try a newer version of tomtom navigator the newest version is version 7.916(Build 9789) This version works really fine on my X1. Take a look at webloq/ and search the forum what you can do (This page is in dutch)
Use TT7 and it will be fine!
