So google now shows time to work, time to home after you enter your addresses. I was wondering if there was a voice command I can use to get the time to work card front and center? Everything i've tried has either led to maps opening up or a web search...thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have successfully unlocked and flashed my phone with the HTC Rom together with the french (newer) radio ROM. The problem I am having is that Google Maps cant connect to the internal GPS. I have set the port to com 1 and have manually set this in google maps too but this (same as automatic) doesnt seem to work. Has anyone tried this and/or got it to work ? If yes, what settings did you use?
sorry, this should have belonged into the normal kaiser forum not the upgrading one... admins please move thanks !!!!
I also had some trouble initially getting Google maps to display GPS info. First of all, I'd set the Track Location settings back to Automatic/Windows Managed. Next, make sure you're in a location that can receive a decent GPS signal and stand still.... I'm usually able to acquire a signal within 10-20 seconds. To know whether or not the GPS receiver has in fact kicked on, watch the indicator light on the upper right side. It should blink blue-orange-blue-orange over and over indicating that the GPS is active.

Three things. First try the search button - This question has been asked God knows bow many times and answered as many.
Second by changing the com port on your GPS you may have necessitated a hard reset - there is a posting here and on modaco that says playing with the com ports screws the GPS till hard reset. (use search to find it here)
Three - if thats not the case then its a know issue with google maps - you have to start another GPS program and aquire a fix that way - then google maps will work fine. Google doesnt allow enough time for a fix itself.
You will also find that it's Com 4, NOT Com1
heelp... what should I do...
Couple days ago TomTom trial and Google Map found gps device nicely and everything seems to be ok. However now when I am trying to start these sw:s they both are saying that they can't find gps device. What should I do about this?
When you start the apps, does the orange light on the right of the internal speaker start flashing?
If it does, then the GPS is actually starting but not getting a fix probably.
If it doesn't then have you mucked around with your "external gps settings" which should be left set to com4 and 4800
Or try this: http://www.expansys.nl/ft.aspx?k=100176
Thx for your answers...
when I tried start tomtom it will find gps-receiver & satellites and if immediatly after that I start Google Map sw it find gps also...
It seems that this happens because of delaying to find satellites... and timelimit at GM is too short... any way solve that problem because it is stupid that I have to start every time tomtom first
which GM version are you using? maybe you should try to download the latest version. The version 1.2.0.18 seems to take a longer time before it times out.
I've downloaded version 1.2.0.18 from the webpage http://www.google.com/gmm/index.html.
what version you suggested? And if that is different, where I could get it?
Or is it possible to use some light software first lock satellites and then start GM? if this is possible what "locking sw:s" you suggest?
Its a well known problem that Google Maps times out before getting a fix on a "cold start" of the GPS.
I am guessing that if enough people let them know, they will either work out how to get it to respond quicker or to increase the time out.
I've downloaded sw called TGPS which I use locked satellites... Now it seems that this is working well...
thx anyway to all.

I had to return my phone for warranty repair but I think the latest version of GMM fixes the timeout problem. Last night I downloaded it to a friend's new ATT Tilt. The GPS took about 1.5min to get a fix and GMM didn't show any errors.
Where I can get this TPGS software???
Sorry not mentioned that before...
http://www.turboirc.com/ppc/
Thanks for the info
I downloaded the software, seems working but google maps is not working at all. What tricks have you done to make google maps work???
Zero, nada....
Just first locking gps with TGPS and then (TGPS background) I start GM... that's it.
btw. in the GM I am using automatic configuration for GPS.
If you setup everything correctly, sometimes its the location where you are at. Whenever I'm in my car, it always works. When I'm in a building, chances are, it doesn't work, even by a window.
So don't think its the phone. Test it outside first and then see if it really is the phone.
There is no need to download additional software to kickstart the Kaiser gps. Open the Camera app and switch to GPS Photo mode. Wait for a fix and then exit and start up Google Maps.
I tested the GPS outside and works fine with TOMTOM and TPGS but still google maps give me errors. When I start TPGS The software gets a signal really fast.
But when I switch to google maps I got ( Error: ConnectError [183]) and I still running TPGS in the background...
I'm using google maps version: 1.2.0.17
And another thing: This GPS photo where I can get it?? Because I think I dont have it.... my kaiser I bought it in Denmark...
Thanks for the help you people rock....
GPS Photo is enabled by a registry change -- use your favorite registry editor to set HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9\Enable to the DWORD value 1. It'll then show up as a camera mode when you click the left/right arrows in the upper left corner of the camera display.
Thanks waygeek it worked....
Lets see if this google maps thing works with GPS photo
By the way I want to check out the version of google maps that you guys have??
I'm using google maps version: 1.2.0.17
Once again thank you all...
No luck with GPS photo our TGPS with Google maps.
The GPS is working perfectly
thomassster : You said that when you drive in your car Google maps works..
Do you use GPRS or 3G to connect to google maps and after that you use the GPS??? or you just use the GPS??
Because What I been experienced is if I'm outside then I use my GPRS connection then the GPS and google maps tell me Where I'm.. But If I dont use any connection and switch to the GPS, google maps die...
Thanks for the help
When I opened this morning the Kaiser, I noticed that instead of the regular cellular signal bar, I'm getting exclamation mark. The 3G icon is there!
I continue my investigation, and discovered that I can't access the phone application at all!
Further more, I can't access any of my PIM info. When I'm trying to open calendar, contacts etc. nothing happens.
I was trying to open Pocket Informant but got the following message: "Cannot login to Pocket Outlook Database."
Later on while trying to press "start" button I got the message: "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename". Somehow that matter was solved...
I was trying to switch to GPRS, I got the "G" icon, everything else is the same.
I didn't install anything recently.
I have a backup (Sprite Backup), and can try Hard reseting (the fast solution) the device, but I wish to solve it without HR.
Any ideas what could cause this and how to solve that?
Thanks,
Amir.
Are your contacts stored on the SIM or in the Kaiser?
Try removing and refitting your SIM.
Hi,
I sent back my first orange TYTN II because their GPRS internet kept connecting everytime I turned on the phone and also every so often for no reason (little connecting icon at the top of the screen kept coming on and the timer started to count). The lady on the phone told me it is meant to do that on PDA phones to speed up accessing the internet explorer and using the internet, after a week of phone calls lol but i'm not sure about this as a guy in an orange shop told me their's doesnt do that. I ordered mine online. Also if this was the case I wouldn't know how long I would be using their GPRS for? lol. Maybe its only an orange thing. I don't know this is my first PDA phone. I told them to disable Orange internet completely from my phone which they did but it still tried to connect and failed lol. I couldn't see any application trying to access the internet etc.
I recieved a new TYTN II after a lot of hassle. Everything seems to be working fine. The problem is now the "Data Connection Button" in the Communication manager doesn't come on at all and I am not sure whether it is suppost to or not. I gather this button is meant to turn off all data connections in one go. Does this include WanLan Wifi? as it doesn't come on when i active this. I cant try the orange internet again because i told them to disable it. I am thinking to call them up to re-enable this but i was just wondering if there is any point in doing this and if there is any point in this button apart from closing connections.
Another question I would like to ask is why when I go into my SMS messages and click on one to read does the scrollbar start at the bottom of the page. i have to scroll up to actually read the message which is annoying. Is there a setting for this? ><
Help appreciated thanks. ^_^
I doubt a faulty device was the reason for the GPRS connection. There are several things on the device that have auto update features. Siome of the things that can cause this are: WLM, HTC Home (Weather Page), Quick GPS, etc...
As for the Data Switch in Comm manager, that is only for data, 3G, GPRS, etc... There is a WIFI/WLAN switch in most kaiser models as well.
Unless you close all the way out of the email app, (end program, x-button) it will open where it last was. Selecting a method other than "Recieved" such as "From" or "Subject" can also cause the device to open if different positions.
Thanks for the reply GSLEON3,
I couldn't find any reason for why the GPRS was automatically connecting when I turned on my phone. I didn’t have any weather etc, it was doing it after I hard reset also. I noticed that it did it every time I turned on my phone however if I used my old sim card before they disabled it for the upgrade it started to do it randomly which was odd. Well it doesn’t do it on my new one so I guess I’m happy. Maybe it was the quick GPS ill never know now. I have installed the HTC home interface because I hate all the orange crap they put onto the phone.
“As for the Data Switch in Comm manager, that is only for data, 3G, GPRS, etc...” just to turn off these data connections? Or does this button speed things up or do something else when it is activated? Ah yes how silly of me about the Wifi. I was just wondering why my data connections button wasnt coming on and really i just want some kind of method for testing it apart from GPRS (dont have provider's GPRS activate) and 3G (video calls? do they come out of my minutes?). I'm confused.
When I click the little SMS button which is located more or less in the center of the home screen above the shortcut tabs it goes to the messages page. On this page I have the Inbox filter selected on the top left and the Received filter selected on the top right. At the moment I have 73 SMS messages going down in a list. When I click any of these to read them including newly received items which go to the top of the list I cannot read the actual message until I scroll up using the scrollbar. I have tried to play around with menus etc to see if it holds the position in memory but I have had no luck in making the bar stay at the top.
If I click the top left button and then click Today to go to the home screen the SMS application automatically closes anyway so it wont open where I last was or keep anything in memory. I think this is what you are saying to do. If I open to read any message and then go out to the list of SMS's it wont remember the scrollbar was last at the top when reading the message so keeping the application in memory will have no use as it resets to the bottom as I enter to read any message. I hope this is clear, sorry if it is long-winded.
Many Thanks
Nevermind I have found out why the message bar keeps going to the bottom in the SMS page. Its because of the "D-Pad Scroll Navigation" in the Kaiser Tweak application.
I will just assume that the data connection button is not required and not worry about it i think. Can't find any information about it.
thanks.
Hi all,
I have a Kaiser and use it to check my mail when on the move. I have a series of POP and IMAP accounts and also my hotmail. Occasionally (twice now) I'll go to check this over the phone's data connection and it'll fail loging in (usually as the hotmail service is down). At this point it then pops up the Windows Live login screen with the option to rety or cancel. Retry goes back the service - which is still down and so returns you to the same screen after a few seconds. Cancel immediately opens the same screen again. At this point I am in a loop. The only way out is to wait for hotmail to become available again or soft-reset the device.
Anyone else had this - any advice o n how to avoid it?
Rich
I have the same problem!!!
I have the same problem too!
I am using:
ROM: Schaps_WM6Pro_Kaiser_4.31_WWE_Full
Radio: 1.27.15.32
Now, I am re-flashing it to Duttys_Official_WM6.1_Rom_5.2.19716_UC (with 1.64.08.21 radio) to test...
Best regards,
Fox
