Hi There
Just trying to get my Internal GPS going. I have read the best port to chose from would be 4 and with 4800 Baud.
However I cannot get the GPS to stick to the settings I give it.
Can someone give me the lowdown as to how to get this
GPS working, the only thing I can think of is that the GPS setup says 'External GPS' which would suggest its looking for a bluetooth pairing, so does that mean the internal GPS does not need setting up, I just have to enter Com4 4800 Baud and the Internal GPS kicks in. Its just that Com 4 isn't available to select from on TT or my other GPS programs.
I have tried setting it up with other Com ports both Hardware and Program but to no avail. the Program Port is fine but my Hardware port still wont stick. ?
Thanks in advance for your help

My Tytn II is working with TT6 on COM 4 and BAUT 9600. This I selected in TT6 under other NMEA GPS. But it also works with the build in option of TT

Hey guys i used to have Duttys old rom back from oct 2007. I configured my Tom Tom and worked great. A month ago i reflashed with a new rom and for some reason TT6 doesnt work anymore.. Weird thing is it tries to connect to internet all the time (it never used to do it before on old rom).
I checked the wicki and used com 4 and com 9. I used baud rate of 4800 and 9600. I tried com 4 and com 9 in external gps (under settings) it doesnt seem to work.
You have to user other NMEA correct? - Thats the only way i get the GPS blinking lights.. it starts to connect to internet.. then says cant establish connection to internet (eventhough 3g is working) and then just stay there (waiting for GPS to aquire lock).
FYI i ran Quick GPS before i started tom tom
Any help appreciate it
What if you use something like google maps. You need to verify that the problem is with Tom tom and not the phone. Easiest way is to get rid of tomtom and see if the gps no workie.
Baud rate
Personnaly I use IGO baud rate something aroud 36000
And it works well
I've try with 4800, nothing ...

Never had it work at 36000 WOW !!
Is 'the accessing the internet' being caused by A-GPS (Assisted GPS) ? This can be disabled.
Note, My TT uses COM4
Isn't this the bug that when you changed some settings with the internal gps (with the kaiser menu not TT btw) you had to hard reset you're Kaiser?
I know I had to do that because of my early rom experiments with GPS. I changed the com4 to com9 and it wouldn't set back.
I'm hoping for you it's not the same..
Hi all, yesterday i've changed the "external gps settings":
COM8 For virtual GPS port and COM 4 as Hardware GPS port, baud 9600.
Today i was using my GPS the first time after the settings descripted before...
The GPS Works, but at regular intervals of 2 sec, then stops for 10 sec (No GPS Found with Tomtom) and works again.....
Now i have 3 questions:
1) Can i solve this WITHOUT an Hard Reset??
2) If i disable the Virtual com port, tomtom DON'T let me choose another COMport (it skips the Comport configuration page) and, when it allows me to select the right port, the COM4 isn't there
3) There are A LOT of comport into "External GPS Settings", some starting with COM..X and others ports named GPD..X ..... What type of ports are??
(Ps: i have already installed tomtom again)
Did you try to disable AGPS?
I have only seen this problem when AGPS is enabled (via advanced config) too
Also the defualt GPS COM ports is 4 and baud rate of 4800 (should be no need to change this) and why mess with external GPS settings when the device has internal GPS?
I have same problem on iGO8 with AGPS enabled.
You guys are right! The A-GPS was ON (strange, i don't remember i've activated it)
If i play with the external gps app is because i would to share the same com port to 2 gps apps.....
BTW when i set the com4 in Hardware port, reopening the app it disappear.
Now i have Agps disabled, External gps app "void" and tomtom don't let me choose the comport (it switch from baud speed to mainscreen)
Hmm, I had no problem at all using GPS at standard settings for:
Igo
TrackMe
GoogleMaps
at the same time!

diamond has disabled agps out of the box.
Hmmm I had no problems the first couple of times I tried iGo when I first got the device. Then I tweaked it, enabled AGPS and all hell broke loose (presumably due to this setting, though not 100% sure since I changed lots of things). Disabled it on my own, trying to back-track, now it's better but I still got problems with GPS lost...
By the way, is there any use setting COM4 to high speeds? Does it reall improve performance?
I had the same problem after flashing the actual rom build from HTC club. I am currently sticking to this one in italian and no problem at all.
P.S.: Just noticed you're from my same city
All ok now, i suppose that if we leave blank the GPS port (no HW port) into first COM screen of external gps app, tomtom skip the comport settings screen, and don't allow you to choose another one.
I've Hardresetted my pda yesterday, and i've seen that out of the box, the diamond has COM4 selected by default.
I don't want to change anything now (i have no time in those days to do another Hard reset) BUT, if you have problems regarding the GPS COM Settings screen in tomtom, try to set the COM4 into GPS PORT (not hardware port) of the "External Gps" app.
hello everyone
i have the same problem of signal GPS lost and coming back after a few minutes of use (i use IGO 8), then lose again, then back again, and so on.
I installed the new flash rom from HTC eclub, (QMR-RUU_Diamond_HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe)
Even if i disable the a-gps using advance config, the problem is still there.
Do you think that problem comes from that new HTC ROM ?
Any solutions?
NO... I had the same problem on old ROM very rarely and solved with Quick GPS , I will see if the problem persist on new ROM...
I had this disconnecting problem too with Tomtom 7,
now with Bepe 0.98 and radio Radio v1.00.25.07, all is OK, no disconnect at all this morning ( 2 hours of GPS use ).
But I don't know what resolve the problem, Bepe's ROM or the new .07 radio
my diamond refuse to accept setting for hardware port and rate......
it always displayed the default (hardware none ,,port 4800)
and always intermittent gps signal...
can u help me?

Never mind the setting. Is AGPS disabled?
yes its disabled...
A bit strange, mine works perfectly with iGo, it even updates the position (almost) continuously when in pedestrian mode.
Perhaps you could try an auto detect from your GPS program to reset the link. By the way, what soft are you using?
well im using garmin xt and navigon...garmin display that the program and hardware is com:4
thank u for being patient with me....
I know Garmin works on the Diamond, so I'm running out of ideas... I remember reading that some VOIP programs screw the GPS. Did you install any such program?
If not, what I would do is back up my contacts and calendar and do a hard reset to see if this solves the problem. A bit painful, but will certainly answer the question whether there is something wrong with your hardware or not.
well.. i have changed the rom to karmba version, and it works fine for the last 6 hours..
gps functioning well.
may be the fault was in my previous rom (SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-ROM-v5-5-Lite)
thank you very much for your help
Hi all,
I have a new Diamond from Orange in France and have troubles using my GPS module since it isn't found in a single program.
Now from the artemis I know that there was a different version in France then in the rest and we needed an adapted version of the GPS driver. Is this the case with the Diamond too?
I actually use the duttys rc2 2.7 version ROM and tried visual gps or tomtom6 and 7 with no result. There is no way I can get them to find a gps module.
So may be some one ha a clue??
Thx.
Finally I made the GPS work with Visual GPS on the com port 4 and 9600baud but in Tomtom7 there is a satellite fix in the gps settings but on the main page it says no gps module or sometimes it says waiting for a valid signal and then goes back to no gps hardware....
Any ideas. I have tried with internal or other nmea settings and it both gets the same result.
Regards J.
My Diamond also not found GPS on auto detect. It needs a manual setting of the COM4 with 4800 or 9600 baud.
also to set: Start > settings > system > external GPS => programs => GPS software Port to COM4
To find the satellites it needs some times. But before the GPS program can work with the satellites it also need some times, to get the satellite datas.
Thx,
I did that alreagy, but I can only configure the program/software port since the Hardware settings are always getting back to zero...
And with these settings Tomtom7 is kinda erratic.....
Ignore the hardware Port. Set the hardware port to NONE. (My device set Hardware port automatic to none)
Only the Softwareport must set to COM4. This setting works fine.

This worked for me too, although settings were already there, just going into the setting and saving got it going.
The com port is detected and connected but no satellites are on the satellite radar...
I tryed to use gpsgate but it only simulated satellites and didnt realy help me...
Anyone know this problem and how to fix it ???
Thnx in advance.
I say switch to TomTom. If you look around the net, you'll be able to snag the program + 2007 maps or so.
i had similar prob when i flashed to new rom, but i fix it ,,, i set com port to 4 in settings/system/external gps , and than i went to IGO settings,advanced,GPS and set up gps satelite to use com4 port ,i did same in google map, set it to use com4 port and it worked
