Uggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh! SEARCH SEARCH and SEARCH!
Make sure you have GPS set to something like "internal GPS" and the baud rate set to 4800 and the COM port set to COM4.
gps
found setting still no go.struggling
I had a hiccup with the GPS lately. I installed and ran "GPSTest" and it helped sort things out for me (can be found in this post).
It may take 3-30 minutes to get a HDOP score (as mentioned in the linked post), but at least you'll know your GPS receiver is functioning properly. Then you can address the Copilot issue.

This Is Now Solved Many Thanks TO XtreMe_G for prog link and Once Again To All At Xdev
I had the same problem with the gps not receiving a signal, I had to wait 15 minutes the very first time, now it connects after a few minutes everytime!
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..
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..
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
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

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?
GPS
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.
