GPS TomTom Not Working

Heya, I have done the registry Tweak and GPS are visible I have setup Com Port 9 but tomtom will not work. I get Waiting for a vaild gps signal for ages then it goes to cannot find GPS Device.
My SPV M700 Information:
Operator Version: 19.123.1.615
ROM Version: 1.23.61.5
ROM Date: 01/25/07
Radio Version: 1.30.00.01
Protocol Version: 32.63.7020.08H
Network: Orange
Location: UK
I would perfer not to have to flash it but if i do need to could someone please post a guide.
Regards
Nick

try to configure gps in tomtom, like NMEA baudrate 9600 com port 9

Doesn't let me choose port 9, only
com3
GPS in com9
com7etc.
I choose com9 but any signal of gps.
Regards,
MM.

Ok.
Done.
Problem only with the signal that was to weak.
Great.

To Nick and mmelo
Did you only do the registry tweak to get GPS icon enabled and it started working???? or did you also flashed your ROM ? Because as far as I know, you do need to flash your ROM to get GPS working and the registry tweak is only to get the GPS icon. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I haven't flashed my ROM as waiting for genuine HTC ROM, but if only enableing GPS icon can get gps working then I might try that cause nt really want to flash with Dopod Rom.
Thanks.

I got it three days ago...
For Orange SPV M700, it doesn't need to do anything to have GPS, just install tomtom 6, and choose com9 GPS~~

So Orange SPV M700 (UK VERSION) has gps enabled ??? Ofcourse it would be better than the french version. Is this UK's gps enabled Orange ROM available anywhere? My HTC P3600 is unlocked and unbranded UK edition bought online.
Or any news of HTC ROM upgrade?
Thanks.

Working
Heya, I've got my GPS working it was just a matter of low signal.
These are the Settings i used:
1. Tweaked Reg to display GPS Icon.
GPS Program Port: COM1
GPS Hardware Port: COM9
Baud Rate: 4880
Manage GPS Automatically (Ticked)
Tomtom set to COM Port 9
Note that it can around about 15mins to recieve a GPS Signal and tomtom does try to say there is "no device found" while finding a singal but this is wrong. It is still trying to find a vaild singal it just takes awhile, but after setup once it connects quicker there after.
Thanks
Nick.123

But why does it take up to 15 min to get a valid signal?
It could take about 20 sec.. :\

I have mine set to:
Program port: GPD1
Hardwareport: COM9, 115200 Baud
Manage GPS automatially
Also in tomtom nav i got GPS setting of: NMEA GPS with 115200 baud.
And its connected to COM9 (not GPD1 as one could think, its not even an option). In the latest tomtom 6.030 custom for htc 3600 among others its possible to choose internal GPS device too.. i think i got that working if my mememory serves me right. But i downgraded coz I had some map-problems
I use RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.35.00.11_Ship as ROM. Before I tried the dopod verision, i got it working there too.
Sometime I get the signal after 1-2 minutes, sometime I need an hour for it to lock on some sats , not really reliable, I hope the oficcial ROM remedies that. A friend of mine has a bluetooth GPS for his trinity. It takes him between 2-10 minutes to lock on to sats even with that.
A tip for those with tomtom's that lock up and freeze sometimes.
Press the PHONE button to get your dialing screen, from there use the startbutton to start tomtom again (it doesnt reload the program it just hands back the control to the current running tomtom), then you can use it again. It doesn't always work though, sometimes it's necessary to reset the phone.

Sorry people, I'm an absolute moron when it comes to programming etc - so none of this is English to me.
I've recently got the M700 and am aware of the GPS being encrypted. Also, being an Orange member of staff, you would think that I'd get some kind of help from our "technical team" when it comes to unlocking the damn thing - but alas, they "cannot do it".
So, here I am, asking for a little help in getting the GPS activated...Pleeeeease

Hi, i have flashed may HTC P3600 with TRIN_RADIO_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL but it does not want any to know to go!
Mine puts into effect them situation is:
ROM : 1.15.408.2
Radio ROM 1.38.00.11
Version extrom 1.15.408.101
Versione Protocollo: 32.71.7020.12H
TOM TOM 6.030.
I have tried all but I just do not succeed to make to go it. While com the 9 do not appear to me just in tom tom, and then I asked myself if before the gps it had to be found from the bluetoth. I have tried also with gps tuner but it says to me gps not found.
I ASK AID!! PLEASE HELP ME.

Hello, I have done the following thing and everything without problems has worked me:
1º) Is necessary to install some of the ROM that has the activated GPS. In my case: RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1 [1] .23.800.2_6275_ 1.35.00.11 _Shi p.exe.
2º) Later, I have updated the Radio with TRIN_RADIO_ 1.38.00.11 _Only_SSPL (this step is not essential).
3º) After it, I have installed drivers of the GPS for ROM Lvsw (HTC_GPSdriver.cab).
4º) I am modifying key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ ControlPanel \ GPS Settings to activate the icon of the GPS, so that it appears in Settings / connections, in that I have put: GPS prog port: GPD1; GPS hardware port: COM9; Baud rate: 115200.
5º) I have installed the TomTom, version 6.030.8320, and in the Gps configuration: GPS type: Other nmea GPS; Baud rate: 115200; GPS in COM9.
The first time has taken about 4 minutes in taking satétiletes.
Second and the later ones, in about 15 seconds…
I hope that this helps somebody… GREETINGS (excuses by my English incorrect one, but the fault has the translator of google... )

hello, I take or but of two weeks with the ROM of Lvsw with the activated GPS, to people it gave problems him of blockades with tomtom, I haven´t this problem , but this weekend I have made a long trip and I have realized of which tomtom is hung when 3G or UMTS is no signal, that is to say, that the GPS lets work when there is no signal of 3G, I have proven it xq I have put I telephone in GSM and the GPS is not connected, but i have active 3G in telephone, the GPS activates at the moment in he himself place where without 3G not it connected, and for that reason tomtom is blocked when losing the signal of 3G becomes crazy and it is blocked, I hope that somebody knows like using the GPS without the signal 3G
hola, llevo ya mas de dos semanas con la rom de Lvsw con el GPS aqctivado, a la gente le daba problemas de bloqueos con el tomtom, yo no tenía ninguno, pero estae finde he realizado un viaje largo y me he dado cuenta de que el tomtom se cuelga cuando no hay señal 3G o UMTS, es decir que el GPS deja de funcionar cuando no hay señal de 3G, lo he probado xq he puesto el telefono en GSM y no se conecta el GPS ni aunquer pase tres horas, pero si activo el 3G en el telefono, el GPS se activa de momento en el mismo lugar donde sin el 3G no se conectaba, y por eso se bloquea el tomtom xq al perder la señal del 3G se vuelve loco y se bloquea, espero que alguien sepa como utilizar el GPS sin la señal 3G

is tomtom navigator 5 working, too?
here in germany they sell tomtom6 in the vodafone shops as a special VPA compact GPS-version. But did anyone try tomtom 5 yet?? Just asking, 'cause I need maps including germany and poland - but the new western europe coming with TT6 don't cover PL. The TT5 version is still available with DACH PL CZ-maps... So please tell me if someone successfully runs TTN5 !!
THX, S.

M700 & Tom Tom Freezing
I have been trying to work out why my M700 freezes when using Tom Tom Navigator 6 with maps of Western Europe.
Turns out it is the speed camera's POI from other countries that causes it.
So remove all the speed camera POI and it works fine. (Not sure which "Speed Cam. POI country " is the calprut, but left only UK on and this works.)

GPS is already active on the Orange M700, for some reason your Marketing Department hasnt bothered pushing this as a feature at all, but hey-ho.
To get it working get tom tom 6.03 OR search for GPSUtil125Setup.exe this will show you your GPS and get it talking. Otherwise arent sure what GPS being encrypted has to do with anything
BTW slap your IT support department cos last timeI phoned them I had to teach them about the phone

Australia d810 how do i get TomTom working

Hi I have a dopod D810 i would like to know how you get the gps working on this model, can someone please help me
I did upgrade rom to 1.23.707.6 and install a TomTom program but it still looks for gps device
does the D810 have a device built in
has anyone done this Thanks
cheers

tomtom works on my aussie D810 with the same rom...
I set the GPS reciever to other NMEA GPS reciever.
coldstart it can take a minute or more to find the signal.
try standing outside in a area with a good wide view of the sky, or even driving round.
Speedn

Depending on the version of/locked files (Search forum) TOMTOM, you might need to configure it each time.
In 6.02 and below you need to select the NEMA (or whatever its called).
In 6.03 they have a selection of inbuilt GPS device. I Found 6.03 much less hassle to be honest.

how do i get 6.03 please
how do i get 6.03 please

to get tomtom 6.03 update go to the following site and follow their instructions...
http://www.tomtom.com/support/solution.php?GID=3&PID=1401&SID=0&CID=215&Language=1&FID=6736
NOTE: you will need reactivation of your maps after this upgrade to 6.03

please if anyone can help

Are you outside with clear view to the sky? Wait 15 Minutes there! It WILL work.

You're on the right track with GPS on COM9 if you are not using version 6.03. If you get as far as "No valid GPS signal" message then that means your GPS receiver is tracking satellites ok and you're just not getting a GPS fix. I had the exact same problem as you.
1) Just restart your d810 (stylus into the small hole on the underside of your dopod )
2) Start your TomTom and use the same setup as you did before with NMEA.
3) Select GPS on COM9
4) When you get the "No valid GPS signal" message stand outside where there is lots of open sky (if you're in the city... tough luck it would be really hard to get a GPS fix there).
5) Be prepared to wait for up to 15 minutes until you get a GPS fix. Mine took more than 10 minutes.

Got it working plus more
Thanks guys you have been a great help
i updated my tomtom software it was easy
as advised i went to here
http://www.tomtom.com/plus/service.php?ID=17

Changing GPS
Can you change the GPS type once you have already installed it and it is running?

Are any of you guys with optus? I really want to wait for the official GPS rom from dopod but i dunno what these guys are doing, there has been all these claims of new roms coming out but no substance.
Which rom updates are you using? Any problems with the aussie networks?

Viperx,
Im using this rom. its the offical rom, but it hasnt been released on the dopod asia site for autralian customers as yet. I think I downloaded it from this forum ftp, cant recall now. works great with 3 so far, haven found any bugs. The only thing I fixed since the update was the bass (again that was found on this forum).
RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.23.707.6_6275_1.35.00.11_108_Ship.exe

i'm with optus
and i'm using the
RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.23.707.6_6275_1.35.00. 11_108_Ship.exe

GPS Setup

hey guys,
Ne one knows how to make Garmin XT see the onboard GPS hardware???
Cheers

If I'm not wrong Garmin has an automatic search for GPS hardware function. That failing, just go to the settings in Garmin and indicate GPS is on COM4.

And just one question about the GPS : we must let 4800 bds or we can change the speed ?? In that case what is the best speed ??
Thank you !

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..

Diamond GPS working ONLY in flight mode

Hi everyone, I'm from Venezuela and my carrier is Movilnet CDMA, recently I adquire a HTC Diamond, my previous phone was an HTC 6800, I will try to explain my trouble, but I'm not any good in english, so here we go:
1. The GPS works very well and locks in my city, only when it is in flight mode.
2. The registry key SUPL AGPS is empty by default, however I try every single tweak and GPSModes whit negative results.
3. In another cities of my country the GPS works flawless, even with filght mode on or off, I travel some cities and in some is working and in others simply not. This trouble is common for other CDMA HTC devices, i.e. HTC6800.
4. In areas with no coverage the cell phone, the GPS locks consistently and quick.
5. QuickGPS does nothing in my phone, it download data but I think the GPS doesn't use the data downladed.
6. All above happens to all people with diamond and another CDMA HTC devices in my country.
7. Our carrier doesn't use agps, in QPST all boxes are checked, the IP and port are set to 0, however I disable all boxes and I don't see any changes in performance of GPS.
The original radio was 1.12.34F, but now I'm using 1.12.20 because is giving me better gps results.
The ROM is stock, and the test was done with Garmin XT, GPSTest, VisualGPSce and HTC GPS tool, also instaled GPS fix from HTC and cleangpsdata. ;-)
I need some help for solve this issue, Thanks.

ya intentastes ponerle otra version de windows? chekale haber que pasa...
alamejor y es un problema con tu version

No
Hi, changing the rom is not a option, another people that I know has done that whitout positive results, the GPS trouble still the same. Anyway, there is no CDMA spanish ROM out, also I don't want to loose the phone warranty. Thanks BTW.
