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

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?

Some thing you may need to check :
Radio maybe ? Eventho the rom come with its own radio , I would recommend reflash ( or flash with a new radio ) the radio.
Did you do a hard reset after you flash the Rom ? I often do extra steps, take a few mins but worth it. Flash rom > hard rest , flash radio > hard reset ... again. sometimes I even power off (remove the battery ) after flash.
What kinda Tomtom 6 you have ? if possible, reinstall it .
I was using that rom , now upgraded to his newest rom ( april 29th ) . Work flawless.

previous to starting tt6 do you run any other applications such as quickgps?
Third, when you open tt6 does your medianet or my isp gprs start up? (if so you have assisted gps enabled and it will cause freezing)
Please answer these questions and I'll direct you in the right location...
Not a flame, but have you tried any of the stuff in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330235 most of the Kaiser / TomTom issues have been discussed there.

Well I'm not sure what i did,but it's all good now,i used my TOMTOM on my TILT phone all day today and it worked 100% flawless!!! The only thing i can remember that i did was i enable 3G and i did a soft reset.And WA LAA!!!
It is realy weird the diamond GPS
Seems to be Ok with Google Maps
I don't understand what you mean by pour GPS, at my phone its by far the best gps receiver I have ever tried it can compete whit my Pioner buildin Dvd system, the only thing where it lose from build in systems is in tunnels.

Hi Wilsas,
Which HardSPL do you have?
Mine GPs lags a LOT!!!!....and has a poor precision..
When a pass on a place (for example under a bridge), the gps shows me passing on that place 5 seconds after I had actually passed....
HastaSSSS
GPS works real fine for me

My rom is the original from when I bought it I just overwrote the second day whit the same rom version cause I couldn't get connected to Wifi
Rom version 1.37.404.3 NLD
Radio 1.00.25.03
My Gps is giving a fix even whit a cold start whitin 15 seconds at most, ofcoarse my buildin Pioner is giving a fix faster but thats not a real satfix it just remeber where it was when I stoped same whitin a tunel it reads through gyros and the distance where it is and not trough the sat signal, I think at least until the European sat sys will be up this will stay like this and even don't now or the European system will change anything to this.
I don't now on which compoort you have your Gps I have it at 4 and coldn't get it on a other eather whil the bleutooth sync wants to use this poort aswel it was a choice or Sync true bluetooth or fast GPS.

I have written about it in one post - I have two Diamonds (EU version - GPS get fix after 1-2 min and HK English version - GPS get fix immediately!) Strange, but true! I have also find out that EU Diamond works with SIM card change in f.e. Sprite Terminator, but HK Diamond didn't reckognize that change! All on the same ROM, is it so significant difference in hardware versions?...
What is a HK version?
I have a DIAM100...but I don't know what it means...
I also don't know if mine is a EU version, or a HK verwsion...

It is a version from Hong Kong.
Um abraço
So DIAM100 means Hong Kong?
If so, I bought it in Europe, so it should be a EU version...if I flash HardSPL to allow me to install cooked roms, does it change the DIAM code?
And finally: is having a DIAM100 a good thing, or a bad thing?
HastaSSSS
OBRIGADO!!!!!!
My Diamond once lost the ability to get any GPS signal, but this is how I fixed it...
1. Go to "externalGPS" then "Access" tab then Untick the checkbox then hit ok
2. Turn the device off
3. Turn it back on then tick the checkbox then hit ok
It should now find a signal (May take about 2 mins the first time)
Yeah, but the problem is not fixing the satelites, but the lag and accuracy of navigation...
HastaSSSS
i only get "lag" if the dop values are crap. -> high inaccuracy.
And that usually happens in the city when only a few sats can be picked up (4-5), and they are in a disadvantageous position to each other (e.g. all in a line or near to each other with a very small angle)

hi!
since i use radio rom 1.02.25.11 the lag is significantly
less! i'll have to investigate on that a little longer (then
perhaps i will start a thread about radio roms and gps
behavoir), but eventually you too can confirm this...
give it a try!
regards,
markusssssss
I am also the one who's shouted this lag and accuracy error a lot of times in many forums but of no avail. It seems there are lots of people sufferring from this GPS lag. Hope somebody ever could find a solution to it. It's really made the GPS use on this phone useless

I have a HK version and when first used with the standard ROM 1.34 mine lagged to, the same sort of way - going under abridge for exapmle would not show on TT until i passed the bridge. But since updating - first time round to a 1.37 ROM the lag stopped.
I now use TT with the latest Maps available for Navigator 6 and it is perfect a fix in under a minute...
Yeah okay, but most people with a Diamond don't want to use TTN6. They rather use TTN7. Maybe upgrading to the latest radio available could be an option. I did so, but I have to test the gps in TTN7 to see if the lag has become less or not.
using TT7 2 weeks now without lags. works proper and did work proper with stock rom for me.
Hi,
Does anyone that says that the lag is OK now, Geocache? I would go out tomorrow to buy a Diamond, but I would like to use it for Geocaching and I've read on other threads that it is no good because of the lag and accuracy.
Thanks

I have tested this with a friends device using TT7 aswell and the same version maps - all is OK on his device too
ok, so this may be a lame question and probably depends on a lot of variables but can anyone suggest a good radio for use in the uk??
is there such a thing, i've tried lots and so far seem to like a few but i still can't get the bl**dy GPS to work properly
i get a loke in about 10 mins if lucky.
i've used poldo's rom and ngy's and pda ultimate, and for my purposes poldo's seems the quickest and most stable to me.
any help would be appreciated.

Using Radio in sig, lock about 2-3 mins, using mcguider "to which isn't the greatest sat nav prog"
yeah thanks for that. used that for a while, made my rom fast but gps lock was poor.
what do you think of the emo radio?
cheers mate
UK Radio version
I have dutty's 6.1 final with radio version 1.58.25.14. I am on T-Mobile and all is fine with my Kaiser. All this software was from the Kaiser software section on XDA.
Hope this helps

Haven't used emo as have used the radio mentioned with no issue on every ROM i flash and even 3 carriers.
Do you use quickgps and have you tryed running GPSTest as you will find fix faster, also will always take longer for fix off cold boot.
I used to live in Solihull area of Birmingham and use 1.71.09.01 radio with 3G switched on (HSDPA off) and I could leave it with data connected all day and sync my mail every 15 minutes and at the end of the day after a few short calls I would still have 40 - 50% left.
I have just moved to South Wales (valleys area) and the same setup down there my battery is on 0% by 4pm. So I have had to kill 3G and set mail to manually refresh to get through the day.
fixed it
gps test installed and a new radio 1.65.16.25
get a gps fix in about 10secs.
i come from south wales, lived near the vally's in bedwas. now live and work in greenwich london.
small world.
thanks for everyones input.

Glad you got this resolved but I used that Radio with the 'initial' UK HTC official WM 6.1 ROM update and it well and truely broke my GPS (compared to the WM 6.0 setup in my sig I'm back to using). I have no need to use gps test or any programs other that Tomtom Navigator 6.032 so I strongly suspect your results have more to do with GPS Test or the ROM, than that particular radio.
Hi,
I have a unbranded normal HTC Touch Diamond with the NAKED 2.03 ROM and RADIO 23.
Moreover I use Tomtom7 and Google Maps.
When in GMaps, the Assisted GPS (which is switched of in Advanced Config) gives the approximate position to Google Maps and after 1-2 Minutes I get a GPS fix on top. In tomtom however, there is not even a approximate location based on the GSM even if I turn A-GPS on. Moreover, GPS doenot work if A-GPS is turned on.
So I wanted to try QuickGPS to reduce the time of the fix (now about 2 Minutes), but it was not included in the Naked ROM I am using, and after browsing for two weeks, and trying some QuickGPS.cab files, they never run but only tell something of not being certified.
Even after reading the 100 pages of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427888 I still havent been able to fina working version (CAB) of QuickGPS to install on the Diamond and have not found a solution working for others, or did someone succeed in installing it??
Thanks

I have never had a problem with QuickGPS. But then again, I've always used cooked ROMS. Perhaps this is what you have to do...
As one last suggestion, all QuickGPS does is add the attached file to your Windows folder. You could try to add it directly from http://service.mio-tech.com/eeservice/packedephemeris.ee.
