Hey people,
Ive been looking at this forum for a week solid for a fix but cant find one for my phone.
I have a tytn 2 and have been trying to get the gps to work on it, i know all about the wm 6.1 issue and this lead me to try all possable fixs like changin ROM and Radio to every combination i can think of.
Ive also tried using GPS test and still no luck, sometimes i get a sat blip up on gpstest but there is no strength in the bar and i either stays like that or disappears. Also in GPSTest it is forever saying GPS starting up and doesnt change from that, ive even had it on that for over 3 hours.
Im getting really frustrated lol as most of us are i see on here, but if anyone can help me it would be a huge help =]
Thanks Guys,
hey guys,, need ur help with this major problem..
i made a video of it.. sorry its a burry..
background on problem..
only happens when i try to use anything to do with GPS.
ive tried other roms( win 6.1 and 6.5)from xda , gps programs, stock rom, re-alignment sh!t. hard reset, soft reset, middle reset and every other reset possible.. so if u can help it would be gr8.. and if ur idea/ solution works i will buy u a beer or 2 plus some munchies ok..

dod you align your screen properly? Try to realign it and soft reset and then check again
jaszek, did you even bother reading the post?
uglynip - That's a really weird problem... I have not seen it on my Fuze.
hey uglynip- interesting problem you have there, i know you said you tried a bunch of differens roms; I'm just wondering if this problem is happening right after a fresh hard reset (before any programs, cabs, tweeks have been applied)?
it only happens when i use any GPS stuff, like igo8, tomotom, navman, garmin, etc, and any other GPS test stuff that the cooks normally put into their roms.... it so weird,, i also tried calling HTC and told them about my problem and they said they have never heard of it b4..i really need to use my gps stuff on this phone cause im going overseas to 4 different countries next month....so i guess no 1 else has this problem... dammmmm...it
Hi uglynip1980,
Just watched the video ... seems to me like you may need to take a least-to-many approach. If you have the patience, I would suggest:
Flashing to the Stock HTC ROM image (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs) - 5.05.405.1, 1.11.25.01, 52.58.25.30, 20764, 1.4.3
Install only one GPS application that exhibits the problem and test
Everything ok?
Leave the unit on for a couple of hours; try the GPS again start/exit a few times.
Everything still ok?
Points to something in the cooked ROM or add-on application. Since add-on applications are the next easiest to test, install and Reset one of your add-on application and confirm functionality. This should help reveal which add-on is incompatible with the GPS.
Now if all the add-on applications test fine, pull down and flash a ROM you haven't tested yet. Alternatively, you can download Da_G's Simple ROM Kitchen and cook your own if you feel up to it.
Same Problem?
Hardware related; possible that initialization of the GPS radio is causing and issue. Would suggest returning the device for warranty repairs.
HTH,
PS: You may want to update the Subject Line Text of this post to in case others with GPS/device troubleshooting experience are looking.

HTC has released a hotfix for resolving difficulties finding or locating a position when using GPS for HTC Touch Diamond...
You can reach the hotfix from following link:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=0&dl_id=569
I hope this hotfix solves the diamond gps lag.
Did someone tried?

Tried to installed but hotfix says it is not compatible with my device. May have to wait for the diamond ver or if someone here can change the package to work with any device ID
I ran this on my sprint diamond and sprintnav still works, except I found another problem unrelated, sort of.
Hi,
just copied the file to my device (XDA Diamond - Stock Rom) and it works without problems. I think it wont work with custom roms.
I just noticed that the i get a fix very fast. Other than that, i didnt tested if the lag is gone, but why it should be. The fix is only for getting a faster GPS Fix. It isnt a fix for a lag problem.

If anyone with a stock rom can install test and report back, i think we would all be interested. BTW it says on the HTC site that it fixes the 'lag' (if it does woohoo)
I installed the fix on BsB 6.5G Black ROM (no need for original ROM). I can't really say that it helped reducing my satellite fix time. Before installing I had sat fix in about 1 min (cold start) and now it took like 1.5 min. But it seems like more stable (doesn't loose fix like it did sometimes before). On the other hand, warm start is lightning fast, taking about 5 seconds to get a fix.
Didn't test it yet for GPS lag. I will report back in the afternoon!

Bad news. The lag of the gps stills on. But the sat fix time is better.
By the way, I have an official 2.03.410.2 ptg rom.
It´s funny that in my old official 1.37... rom the gps worked fine without delays. But now it has 30 mt of delay.
I´ve tried all the com ports in the hardware and the better is 9.
Yes would be fine if we had a cab ..... im still unable to install the fix

Hi Pinttas,
I have a lag on my GPS. I haven't tested different ports. Does it make much difference? Do you know why it might?

WinRar is able to extract content from the Exe, it has a cab layout in fact. From what I can see, it installs "CleanGpsData.exe" with a link to it in \windows\startup (the link didn't seem to be installed on mine by the way).
The cab has a setup.dll, I can't be sure it doesn't adjust any registry settings or else, but it doesn't seem to.
Hi mitsi,
the ports are the whay the software comunicate with the hardware.
I have a big difference between ports, +-30mts.
In the com ports nr 3 and 7 I cant get sat. the 2 is the worst and 9 the better.
I don´t now if is the same for all. I think it depends on the rom you have.

Hi Pinttas,
Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out on mine.... I hope I can find a better port!
I still have the same lag, i still can't use my paired BT Nokia headset and the GPS at the same time (witch i could in the nokia n73). it's a little bit faster the fix, but not as much.
I tried this and have found the fix to be faster, as others have reported. Funnily enough, my Tomtom has no lag but my Igo8 does..... Weird.....
pinntas - you are right about the ports. On some I don't get any connection at all. The others don't seem to be much different though. I think Ports 4 and 9 seem to be the most stable on mine.

Same goes here...is there any other way to install the fix..
No good for fixing GPS lag...In fact, the lag bacame even bigger. I uninstalled the patch...
What do you set the baud rate to? It should be 9600
somebody please put it in a .cab
thank you very very much!
Hi i just Flashed my Kaiser tilt 8925 to from windows 6.0 to TouchFLO 2.0 everything seems to be working fine except one little problem i cant seem to hear any sound /ring tones/ from it- i tried going to settings/sounds already ...and tried adjusting the sound settings already with no luck can someone help/tell me how to fix ....??? Please Email me ASAP if you can help [email protected]
It's always a good idea to follow all instructions when flashing, i imagine by TouchFlo you really mean 6.1 to which then you need a compatible radio...
The Ultimate Radio Thread
In future please use the search as this is so common...
i just had this problem and resolved it by down reving my radio software... i was on the latest, 1.71(i think) and went down to 1.70?.19? or something like that...
if you are still running on a STOCK rom/radio i am of no help though.
OMG I don't know how to read instructions or even search, HELP HELP !
lol
get applications and solution for your Diamond Problems.
Feel free to ask any questions...!!!!!

Hello,
Ive got a HTC touch diamond (DIAM100). Ive allready tried a lot of android roms, but never found one that i could really use in daily life. Some of them are to slow to use and some of them have problems with connecting to wifi and gsm. Has anybody a rom installed on his HTC touch diamond (DIAM100) that i could use for daily use. Please let me know where to find it! I dont mind if it isnt the latest release, as long as its works smoothly for my device!
