Guys, I just bought Omnia 2 and it seems the GPS lag so much that it's totally useless. I use Garmin XT and the GPS lags about a couple of minutes. Is it a phone issue or what?
This is what I have done, and it work's (at least for me Omnia i8000):
Change these settings in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\InputBufferSize: set from 4096 to 512
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\OutputBufferSize: set from 4096 to 512
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\SleepOnNoData: set from 100 to 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize: set from 16384 to 1024
The rest is the same as the usual GPS and TomTom settings. I used com port 4 (and 9 for hardware), but you can probably use any other port that hasn't been assigned yet.

GPS fix
Hi i'm using AGIS NAVFone (Asia), but should work for all GPS devices
First:
Go to Settings>Connectivity>GPS (or something like that)
My phone's in servicing now... sad
Set COM9 to hardware port
COM7 to GPS
Baud Rate: 9600
Gives me a fix ~2min
To make it quicker: Install GPSModDriver here:
forum[.]xda-developers[dot]com/showthread.php?t=571266
What it does:
This Driver installs between your gps application and the GPSID driver that reads the hardware gps data.
Lag is compensated, by guessing your position 'some number' of milliseconds in the future, current course and speed changes are included in the guess.
It corrects for invalid data in the gps strings, Out of range DOP values, and Heading values of 'NaN' (Not A Number). Position, Speed, and course are reported, even though the distance traveled is less than 30 meters.

Follow the instructions there to install, and Garmin Mobile XT requires QueStub
Garmin Moble XT (and Others), users:
Garmin Mobile XT, refuses to use the GpsModPort to read gps data, it insists on using the original com port. QueStub is an application that changes the reg entries for the default gps port to the GpsModDriver port, runs the Que program, and restores the values back when Que exits. It is only 5 kb when sitting in memory.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So get QueStub 3.10,
and GPSModDriver 3.10
With this you can get ~3s Fix (For me)
Take time to read through that post and feel free to ask any questions.

Anyone tried this?
you can test your GPS dialing " *#1472365# "
and there u can change these values to.
nothing appears in the screen when typing these neumbers
i wonder if u can assist.Garmin XT is loaded.First screen ...connect in GPS Garmin.when entering the program tries to connect the Garmin GPS receiver and scans for the connected device and for bluetooth..It has the skip button too.When clicking omit(or skip)program says taht some parts of Garmin mobile xt would not function properly without a valid gps fix.If you click yesthat is go on with skip)screen advises you to aggree on safe driving etc and when you do so screen says that cannot track the Garmin GPS device, asking you if you want to connect with other GPS devices.If you click yes it prompts you that connection is ONLY allowed for the Garmin GPS device.It gives three choices in the bottom.1.Acton completed.2.Activate and 3.Activate (again).When clicking completed gives you the screen ..where to? and map layout (the icon on top left is yellow(not red)and says again that cannot locate the garmin GPS device asking you (again and again)if you would like to be connected with other GPS devices.By clicking no the previous icon appears again (red this time)a map is shown and on top there is the indication that GPS is Inactive!!Sorry for being so detailed but my next action will be to throw the GT program away.Moreover in the screen with indication (system-info) of GPS when clicking prompts you again that connection only with Garmin GPS. Finally both Beeline GPS and GPS tuner work fine in my OMNIA (fully operable) and lastly i wanted Garmin only for the naval charts as I have both Sygic and iGo 8 working perfectly in my device, therefore I hesitate to alter the COM7 to COM4 as both (iGo and Sygic recognize and cooperate with COM7).
Thanks in advance I wonder what am I doing wrong with garmin.

i have problems with Satalite FIX.
it can take mor then 10-20min (if at all) to get a fix.
i setup my GPS manualy to COM9 @ 4800.
i know (at least) one other user have a simular problem.
HTC, after some e-mails, say that if i DON'T use TomTom software, they can't help my with this isue.
any idea ?
thanks.
Fix
I had some problems with slow fix. I enabled the GPS applet in settings and it was configured at 33600, changed to 4800 and also in Tomtom and miomap settings configured to 4800, after that, very quick fix, on cold start less than 1 min, on warm start just seconds. Try it.
under, settings -> connection -> GPS ...
i set:
program tab:
GPS Program port = GPD9
hardware tab:
Port = com9
boud = 4800
access tab:
mark on the manage GPS Auto.
is taht OK ?
and allso on the navigation program i set manualy com9 @4800
Yep, that's my config and works right...
interesting... i have my settings as follows -
program tab:
GPS Program port = GPD1
hardware tab:
Port = com1
boud = 115200
access tab:
mark on the manage GPS Auto.
with these settings i get a fix in 30 sec to 90 sec...

After a sofreset? Probably not
The "warm reset time" in a GPS is not related with the Port number or the baud rates...but with its sensibility
SAme for me the GPS response can take up to 10 minutes.
I tried your setting Julioski and AriebK but it doesn't help?
In tomtom I don't see where to set the port and the baud speed can you help?
Any other ideas?
after configure the above settings, i get FIX, but after 20-30min of navigation... the FIX is gone, one more thing, i notice that my phone 3g signal drop allso, SR was nedded.

According to HTC the reason the GPS function was not enabled in the first place was a conflict with the GSM signal,anyway try manually setting your phone band to GSM and see if that makes a difference.(Settings,phone,band,select network type:GSM)
What radio version have you installed?
1.35, 1.38???
I have an HTC p3600 Trinity and have also just installed the newest ROM from HTC.
I downloaded the TomTom application from HTC, installed it and everything "seems" fine accept I cannot acquire any signals.
I have tried many of the different GPS settings from the GPS manager, but nowhere do I see a way to change what TomTom is looking for. There are 5 default gps reciever options... (builtin, bluetooth, wired, other bluetooth and other NMEA device) and I really have no idea what to choose if I have to input the settings.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Both the "built in" and "COM9" should work (and do for me).
Make sure you're in an open area, and give it enough time to acquire a signal (could take 10 mins).

i tryed that... seems that with GSM, it took much more time to get a FIX (if so)...
with GSM it get the FIX much faster, but stil... too much and it drop the signal without any reasone.

I have the same exact problem, sometimes GPS gets the satellites in 30 seconds sometimes no satellite after 15 minutes. This of course in the same location...
This is really anoying, any other ideas ?
PS: I am using the french version!

Maybe that's why ... sorry couldn't help it...
Are you sure there aren't any other factors involved (like heavy cloud cover, rain, , etc.?) or more than 3 days since last fix (not that this should take 15 minutes - this is more than downloading the whole almanach). Can you check if you have signal all the time, or if you keep loosing all satellite signal? Because if it looses all satellites, he has to start from the beginning with the fix, so it's in a loop until he gets proper signal.
Well there seem to be quite a few issues with the GPS,personally i'm using the Destinator 6 software ,and here is what i noticed ;
With the official HTC rom :
The software detects the GPS in about a minute and acquires a fix in about 3-4 minutes with the GSM on and a clear sky.
If i softreset the device then 1/3 times it won't find a GPS antenna and i have to manually reconnect and define the com port,it then takes apprx 5 minutes to get a fix.
The weird thing is that when i used Destinator PN i didn't have any of these issues .
Lately i've started using img-32424-mUn and i've noticed a definite improvement in both GPS strength and speed.
i did use following test rom, the gps response is around 1min.
RUU_Trinity_CHT_1.23.751.1_101_6275_1.29.00.11_108_Test.exe
however, by using offical rom whatever config the baud rate or GDP, required 8-10 to get the fix.
the problem is that it's not stable
one day i get a FIX within 1 min, next day after 20...
and 2 days later, not getting any FIX.
i tryed with GSM and 3g ...
i guess the radio (or the GPS part) isn't as we excpect it
sad that HTC dont want to support users that NOT use TomTom.
I think it would be useful if each of us told the others the type of GPS software they were using as it (The GPS software)seems to affect the time it takes to acquire a signal.
Also try using the GPS with and without the radio (Flight mode) and see if it makes a difference.
No GPS Signal & Icon
Hi! I've another problem. I've downloaded new ROM upgrade and Tomtom applications. After waiting for 10 minutes, my device says no signal received. I read from some forums we can adjust some variables but there is no GPS icon under settings\connections folder.
Can anybody help me! I have version WWE 1.23.405.
Hello,
I am trying since yesterday to make my GPS working, with no success. Everytime, I got the following message:
Cannot find port com. I do not know what the problem might be. I tried all Ports (from COM 0 to COM 12, and all Baud rates). Tried 3 differents GPS applications. Memory Map tells me for Port 0 GPS communication timeout...
In addition, I tried to play with the External GPS. I tried with Manage GPS automatically on and off. Still the same..
I begin to think my GPS unit is defective...
Any ideas would be appreciate.
Thanks very much in advance,
Philippe
did you change settings in the gps control panel?
the default settings can be left alone. COM4. Baud rate should be automatically handled and unless you enabled AGPS any baud rate will do, if you enabled AGPS then I think you have to use 2400 as your Baud.
I just noticed the GPS harddware port in setting, system External GPS is not saved when you click ente.
Exemple I choose COM4, and Baud rate: 4800. I click OK. When I reclick exernal GPS, Hardware, I have got ''none for GPS hardware port. I do not know if it might be one of the reason why the GPS does not work.
Note: I just flashed the new rom: 1.35.401.3 WWE. Might it be a bug in this ROM (just question?)
Philippe
I can cofirm TomTom working with COM4 and baud 57600. Signal pickup can be time hungry, tho. Sometimes I get a fix in 20 seconds, sometimes it takes as much as 10 minutes.
no problem using mapking...
Hello,
And thanks everybody for your help. I just updated to the new Elite 1 ROM, and now it works like a charm....Very good...
I do not know if there is many francophones on this forum, but there is a new french forum about the Diamond:
http://htc-touch-diamond.forumactif.info/index.htm
Not very busy yet, but....
Cheers,
Philippe
Same problem... The tomtom 6 don't detect my integrated gps... if i chose the wired and put ports like say before, it don't work too.. Any way for detect integrated gps?
Here are exactly my setting:
Setting system External GPS:
GPS program port: COM 4
GPS hardware port: None
Baud rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically is checked.
So open your GPS program, choose COM Port 4, and baud rate: 4800.
Should work. If not, flashthe new Elite ROM. It could help too.
Philippe
I can't flash the rom, it will make the warranty expire... And the mobile isn't mine, it's destined to be selled, i work on a gsm shop...
got exactly opposite problem - when I leave these default settings in "External GPS" CPL, the Diamond will suck my batterry within several hours, as if the GPS was still ON. have found out that if I disable all settings in this CPL, it stops sucking power (but then I can't use the GPS, obviously) - any clues or solutions?
I HAD to enable Windows Mobile manages automatic in External GPS in 'settings'. Check if it is enabled.
Disabling it made GPS never work.
Strange?
Yes, unless I restored all settings to their original values (Virtual port - COM4, HW port - None, Managed access - checked), I was not able to use the GPS. But these were exactly the settings I was having the battery drain issue with... I miss the GPS LED indication vastly...
I am have this problerm too...
Solution : make hard reset.. no more!
And all will be ok ... about GPS.
i have same proplem
i have same proplem when i updat to the new rom 1.93
I have a similar Problem.
I Updates my ROM to the new branded one from O2-Germany and since then my GPS is not working anymore. in GPSMapware I get device.exe errors and TomTom7 keeps searching and searching and so on...
The old O2 ROM has no GPS problems and every software got a loc in about 10 - 20 seconds.
But the most intresting point is that my brother has a Diamond too and no GPS problems at all.
I think I will get a new one from O2 before flashing it and loose my warrenty
Telus CDMA Diamond
I've got problem too. First Diamond I had no problem with GPS, something happened with the phone I had to exchange, and new one (phone) GPS wouldn't pickup Sat. I'm on Telus CDMA. Maybe they removed physically on the second batch of Diamonds.
My GPS doesn't work too well either. I can usually get a fix eventually when outside with a clear view of the sky but in the car it is hopeless. I use TT7 and the GPS status screen shows that the Diamond can see maybe half a dozen satellites or so but with very low signal strength. The bars stay grey for ages and then eventually three or four will turn blue and all the time the battery is draining like crazy. I also have a Holux GPSlim 256 and with that I get a fix much faster and the signal strength is much higher. I can also use it in the car with no problem.
I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with the GPS performance of the Diamond and from the number of posts in this forum from people with similar problems I would suggest that there is a design flaw or very poor quality control. I had an XDA Orbit 2 for a while and that was far superior.
Me too
my diamond have the same problem too.
it was working with the old rom's and the early new
but later with new rom's it is locked, I don't know why or how to fix it.
then I back to the last good one but still locked.
it seem's working fine, because the software is detect the gps device and also detect it on port 4 and baud speed, but without signal any more.
I used Garmin, Destenator, iGo, fanaeen, and gps test.
and I try to use all avaliable solutions
I used all diamond rom's here and used all radio version's even the hardspl I changed it too with no succeed.
any advice would be help!
thanks in advanced
Hi,
I own two diamonds and I also found problems with the GPS in both of them. Probably mine is not the same you are describing. What I get is the following:
Running TT7, the GPS works but TT7 map in the screen remains in grey color. Rarely it shows color for some seconds and l"oses signal" again. It navigates, but no messages on proximity of POIs work. Also, when driving, if TT7 is forced to recalculate (every time I do not follow the instructions), it forgets about the required destination. In the GPS configuration option within TT7 it does not show satellites, the bars are empty and the coordinates shown are grey... but showing values!
Finally, I found the reason. I use Bluefire VPN, a piece of software to connect securely to my company. The GPS and Bluefire cannot live together.
I have tried everything: TomTom 6, changing COM port (many combinations)for the GPS, A-GPS on and off... No way.
It worked perfectly in P3600. I tried many ROMS and pieces of software without problems but in the Diamond I haven't been able.
Perhaps the reason is some resident code of Bluefire. Don't know. In any case, if this is a case similar to any of you, my advice is the following:
Hard reset, install TT7 and maps and test the GPS. If it works, start installing software until it crashes.
In my case, the GPS is always dead after the soft reset required after the installation of Bluefire, and it works again after another soft reset once Bluefire is uninstalled.
Hope it helps and hope somebody can also help me solve this issue.
SOLVED
Hi guys
Here is my solution.
First you have to flash 1.13.25.24 radio rom sometimes it can be solve the problem.If not you must open your phone with Htc service manual and find gps coaxial cable and check it.Sometimes it can be pulled out.Mine antenna was unconnected and gps couldnot find any satellites.Sorry for my bad english.
Hi,
I've a HTC Diamond, UK version with the following rom:
1.35.401.3 WWE
30-05-2008
0.93.25.NS26
52.26.25.09H
I've try install different versions of tomtom, actually the 6.32, but impossible to detect the integrated gps... I've only bluetooth, wired and Others NMEA...
I've try all Bauds settings possibles on NMEA but noone work...
Any solution plz? I've 1 day for decide if I buy this Diamond for replace my Touch Cruise or not... And i want be sure the GPS is working...
Plz if you know, say me how can i have this gps working with tomtom...
Maybe an other rom? If yes wich? Or a special version of TomTom? Or any fix?
choose: other nmea gps
COM 4
baudrate works with 9600
(other may also work)
then you need to have "waiting for gps signal" in gps status
grtz
I can't chose the port... Only the baud rate...
And i have "not gps device found" always
i use 6.030.
in other postst you can find more information about used versions
I've try this version too but same problem... any idea?
you can check the settings from you internal gps receiver.
settings->external gps
you find there 3 pages with settings(com port etc)
yes
Programs: Ports: COM 4
Hardware: Port: None, Baud rate: 4800
But if i change anything, i click ok and come back, it is back to default value... I can't set 9600 Baud or other value... if i click ok and enter again in external GPS options, it's back to 4800...
This mobile does really have GPS??? I'ts not writed in the box and in the manual too... I see nothing about GPS... The manual is very little and the box is a "diamond looking box"...

offcourse it has gps. everybody is using it.
you do not need to change the settings in extarnal gps.
just open up tomtom, choose other nmea gps, 4800 baud and com 4.
i have tomtom 6.010 (i do not know what the newer versions have different)
and it works very good.
Strange because nothing say in the box or manual that it got gps... And it's not detected by tomtom...
Any idea??? Tommorow i have to give the diamond back or keep it so i've to decide today... And i want a mobile with gps working...

install it, and it will look for your gps unit.
it will be installed under programs > gps test
Lol don't ask me how and why but i've hard reset the phone and reinstall tomtom, and now i've the choice of port and baud... I've chose 4800 baud and port com 4 and it works... lol
[ironic mode ON]So it seems like Diamond has GPS although it is not writen in the box...[/ironic mode OFF]

I have to say I was dubious when reading the specs too, as they say 'GPS and A-GPS Ready' - which normally leads you to believe that you need another bit of kit to use them.
Then I found confirmation - and was happy to order the phone.
QuickGPS
I order to get a good working signal start the program QuickGPS, download in this program the latest gps file from server.
Start Tom-Tom and use the settings mention above:
choose other nmea gps,
4800 baud and
com 4.
Be sure to stay outside free to air and you get your signal in about 30 to 45 seconds.

And that's all. good explanation. i did the same and working. But why doesn't detect integrated antena like kaiser? any answer...
Do you guys have the following problem?
When I open the settings of the gps, inside the phone's settings, I try to change the settings, but when I press "ok" it doesn't save the changes. For example, if I change the baud rate from 4800 to 33600 and press ok, if I immediatly open it again, the setting goes back to 4800 again.
This happens also if I change the COM port from "none" to other.
Having "Manage GPS automatically" under "Access" tab activated or not, doesn't make a diference.

Dear everyone again ^__^,
I'm sure every very excite with your D2. I'm previously use SE X1 with also a good device.... however, as you may know that SE X1 have VERY GPS lag problem since it release and it never be better even many RADIO updated (yes it better that original first stock radio but it not enough). and many people include me using Register Editor to enhance the X1 GPS.
yesterday I just try to use same register edited on D2 even D2's GPS is very good already. After soft-reset, I found it even better so I design to share with everyone...
to do this, you need to edit the D2 registery using any register editor. please follow the instuction below
Under: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\
- Drivers\GpsOneDevice\PollInterval -> 100 (default is 1000)
- Drivers\InputBufferSize -> 512 (default is 4096)
- Drivers\OutputBufferSize -> 512 (default is 4096)
- Drivers\SleepOnNoData -> 100 (default is 1000)
- Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize -> 512 (by default not present, found it by
analysing gpsdriver.dll (or gpsid_htc.dll, not sure anymore ))
In addition, This solution it will enhance the "GPS Intermediate Driver" only (as far as I tested). So after edited. if your GPS software still set the GPS to use direct HARDWARE (for example: in Garmin is set to COM 4 port). it will not effect. I not sure for other GPS software, but in Garmin you have to change from COM4 to "GPS Intermediate Driver"
Good luck everyone!
Extra note: One point you need to understand is "GPS Intermediate Driver" is a software base stand between GPS hardware and program. when you start using "GPS Intermediate Driver" one thing may notice is they seem to lock to sattilite slow than hardware which it not ture. you may not see it try to locate the sattilite because sometime "GPS Intermediate Driver" will only show you the status once it already sattilite's LOCK!
ok, but how can I set gps intermediate driver to tt7 or igo8?
Since the GPS intermediate driver sits between the real GPS port and provides multiplexed GPS ports to applications, the best way to avoid any lag is to avoid it entirely and to make sure your GPS software is using the actual GPS hardware port?
Yes! That what I thourght at first...... however, after do some research and test out... I found GPS intermediate driver have many Benefits more than using Real Hardware one. At least it help to save battery (not sure bout D2 but in X1 I got this result)
if anyone want more detail on "GPS intermediate driver" please check link before

I'm not sure about tt7 or Igo8 since I not use them. but in Garmin when I go to setup and choose the GPS hardware.. it show all the hardware option for example
External GPS (BT)
GPS intermediate driver
Hardware Port (com4, com7)

I can get a signal inside work, inside house and inside car.
To get better reception mount your device near the front windscreen

Dear shakiraa,
All of my previous PDA with GPS can recieve the signal inside and even when I drive. However, base from my own exp. sometime if the car you drive have attached UV film protection on car windows or a dark film. it can block the GPS singnal when you sit inside. if you want to test out your GPS when drive, I recommend you better make GPS fixed the sattilite before you drive.
Normally, once GPS get Fixed! it will always connect even in low signal and if the signal is lost after first fixed. it will reconnect quickly.
Hope this will help.
PS: Sorry about my english

FIRST POST!
Hello xda-developers!
I have got a problem with the Garmin software for my Omnia 2
I've installed everything correctly, the software, maps, etc. (as far as I know)
But as soon as I want to connect to a GPS device it keeps scanning for a receiver.
I thought Omnia2 has a GPS receiver installed in their system?
If so, is there anyone that could help me out?
Greetings

Well, where can you find information for this?
I've seen
GPS-Programport: COM7
GPS-Hardwareport: COM9
Baudrate: 4800 (default)
But I haven't seen any option yet where I can choose which GPS (internal or external) device I want to use, when I click on the icon in the upper left corner of Garmin
Click the gps signal bars on top left side and then disable then select your port

HI
You need two app
GPS Gate and BeeLineGP to make it work
i had similar problem that you are encountering
after installing the two app and configuring it i finally fix it.
hope that helps

Have installed it. Now I can select what port etc. GPSgate says a GPS receiver has found on port 7 and ready for use..
So I open up Garmin, go to signal and it uses port 7 as GPSgate adviced.. Now waiting for a satalite signal.. But it takes ages! I'm standing outside, clear sky and everything.. I'm I still doing something wrong?

Hi VleNiK
Fellow these instruction!!!!!!!!!!!
I am assuming that you installed GPS Gate 2.6
In your phone go to Start and find GSP Gate
Click on the app and hit settings.
next in the input select setting
next step is to configure port
serial port is com7
Baud Rate is 57600
press OK once your done
Now back to Input menu
click Open
It will tell you that the GPS is OK but no position.
This is fine so leave the application.
Next is is Beeline GPS app
I am assuming that you installed the BEELINEGPS app version 1.90 or 2.0( 2.0 is a beta but it works really well) the trial version is 30 days for both version.
open the app than go out side get a clear view of the sky
wait for few minutes and it should be OK. the way to tell if it is working
is when the latitude and longitude has numbers.
close the app by passing the x button at the top once it is working
open Garmin and everything should be fine.
note: if you completely turn off the phone then you have to do the steps again. so i suggest you put the phone on stand by.
Hope that helps

since i made these changes,gps works fine for my tt7.
it's the same issue with the gps sensor, so maybe it will work for the garmin software too.
at first: you DO NOT have to install any other software except an regedit if it isn't already installed.
-open the regedit and got to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\InputBufferSize:
change value from 4096 to 512
-then go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\OutputBufferSize:
also change the value from 4096 to 512
-next step is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\SleepOnNoData:
change value from 100 to 0
-last step
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize:
change value from 16384 to 1024
now save these settings and close the regedit.
got to yor gps settings and set:
programport: 4
hardwareport: 9
baud 4800
softreset your device.
that's it,i hope it'll help you...

thanks JOE ! It finaly works! BUT.. If I've got a signal and close Garmin, and put it back on lateron.. Do I have to search for a new signal again in an open sky? Because it realy takes a while..
I never had to use BEELINEGPS or GPS gate to get Garmin work on my Omnia i8000...
Just installed the software along with Voice support file and Base Map.. and then I copied India map.. Thats it.. Went to an open place and launched Garmin.. Waited for about 2mins and got a GPS signal...
Below are my GPS settings..
GPS-Programport: COM7
GPS-Hardwareport: COM9
Baudrate: 9600
Hope this helps...

Hi,
thanks for your reply! Well I tried it that way from the beginning.. But for some reason my Garmin Software only detected Garmin Bluetooth devices.. So not my internal one. And BeeLineGPS & GPSGate helped me with it. Now I have to boot those programs before using Garmin Mobile, shame but it works!
Gps
thanks JOE ! It finaly works! BUT.. If I've got a signal and close Garmin, and put it back on lateron.. Do I have to search for a new signal again in an open sky? Because it realy takes a while..
Yes you do have to re-open gps gate and Beeline GPS in a open sky place. I am trying to find a better solution to this problem. Using the GPS in Omnia ii is very tedious. I live in Canada and Garmin mobile xt just does not work once i open it. maybe in India but not in Canada i think. Aafi-rocks.
Also I tried lewellyen method everything works out great at the first time but when i open the garmin xt second time it freezes. It would not work at all. entail i had to go back to the old configuration.
My method is all i know so far but if any body have a better solution please share
Joe
There is another bunch of settings in nogarderGPS.exe accessible by typing *#1472365# on your dialer. On the menu select Settings | GPS
For Operation Mode select STANDALONE
For Start Mode select HOT START
For Session Type select NAVIGATION
See if this helps you. I use the GPS with google maps and it works just fine in Canada. I went to the Cook Islands, changed my SIM card and the GPS got a lock in 2 minutes - of course google maps didn't work because I didn't have any internet access.
try this
I) Go to General Settings - GPS
1) GPS program port : COM 7
2) GPS hardware port : COM 9
3) Baud Rate : 9600
4) Enable Manage GPS automatically
5) Make sure to download the XTRA data every week or so while connecting to internet trough Active Sync
II) Under Garmin XT - Click signal bar ( top left icon )
1) MAKE SURE its COM7 : COM7
2) IF NOT then click disable button
3) Click Use serial GPS - set it to COM 7
4) Then Enable it back.
