HTC P3600 + TomTom 6 + Have I even got a GPS installed + HELP!

Hi guys n gals.
I bought my Trinity from Ebay "unlocked" and have spent the last few hours rebuilding it as I think it was unlocked using dodgy s/w.
My specific question is whether I not I have a "GPS enabled ROM" and how do I find out? I also have some specific TomTom questions (see later).
From Device Info:
ROM version: 1.23.61.5
Radio Version: 1.41.00.11
Protocol version: 32.74.7020.18H
I'm running "WM 5 OS 5.1.342 (Build 15096.3.0.0)" and also "TomTom 6.03" which I set to GPS internal. However I'm not getting a fix and it's been 30mins so I'm wondering if it's a ROM issue as described elsewhere on this site. Please advise.
Also the s/w itself is behaving oddly which makes me wonder if it's copied but then it did update OK using tomtom/home. The western europe maps are apparently on the miniSD card but I can't set my UK home address. It just keeps going to Amsterdam (I think), no matter what I do. Have I got a dodgy copy? All I really want to do is navigate in UK.
Finally do I need WM6 at all?
Cheers all.

are you trying to get a GPS lock in or outdoors, because i cant get a fix indoors but outdoors i get a fix in 2mins,
also have you got tomtom configured to use COM9 for GPS? this is essential

You can't configure the COM port using Built-IN GPS, but it should find it OK.
As Goodie says, you must have a clear view of the sky to get a fix- satellite signals are very weak, especially for a 1st fix when the reciever needs to download a lot of data.
Your ROM is up to dat- Radio 1.41 is recent; any Radio ROM ending in **.11 has GPS enabled.
Western Europe Maps should be able to use the Postcode search in UK, as long as the Postcode database is enabled/loaded. Look in the root of the SD card for a folder called ZIP, which should contain the postcode file.
If TT Home recognised the installation, it is likely to be OK. Did you receive the original documentaion with it? If so, there should be a card or sticker with the Product Code on it. If not, double clicking the Map entry in TomTom Home should bring up a properties window with the product code.
Once you have that, you can go to www.ttcode.com and check which device code the map is locked to. When in TomTom on the PDA, you should be able to see the Device Code in one of the 'About' screens- can't remember which one

hi and thanks for the quick reply.
1. sorry i was inside. went out and got a fix.
2. there is a ZIP folder on the SD card. inside it are two files. One is called Nederland (1.86M) and the second is "Nederlandpostal.ver". am i missing some uk files? is this why it keeps defaulting to amsterdam?
3. no docs with the purchase. will try your advice later and double click the Map entry in TomTom. or do i need to do it now to get it to work for uk use?
thanks

sounds to me like you havent got UK maps

hi,
no i have got the uk maps. its found my house and if i somehow fiddle around with it and manually select city it will find other uk locations. but somethings clearly odd. on another screen it tells me i have Map: 'GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE'. or you mean do i need to have something else in that ZIP folder?

here's exactly what i need to do.
say i want to navigate from my home in surrey to say my girlfriend's address in chelmsford, essex. if i hit navigate to/address/postcode, all the device will recognise is german addresses. i have to first go into /street and house number/ and then enter "chelmsford" FIRST. and then search for her street.
i want the device to default to uk postcode as i dont always know the city location, just the postcode. so it will be very difficult to use.
i doubt i'll need the europe maps for quite a while so guess theyre worth keeping.
have i made sense?

You need to go back into TomTom Home and download the UK Postcode file, which should be copied to the ZIP folder. At present you seem to only have the Netherlands postcodes. Without the UK Postcode file, you will only be able to select addresses by town/street.
Do you have 2 maps on your device- Western Europe, and UK plus Major Roads of Europe? If so, try and use the UK only version if you don't need to drive in mainland Europe, as route calculation and address searching is much faster with the smaller map.

Many thanks. I'll do that tonight. Do I therefore delete the 2 Netherlands files from the ZIP folder?

No, they can stay there for next time you visit there

NeilM (or anyone else!)
I'm back home now, have booted up the PC and launched TomTom Home.
I can see the Netherlands file on the Zip folder but I can't see how to download the UK Postcode file.
Sorry for being thick but how/where do I grab it?
Thanks

Hi powerbook,
Not sure about others, but I downloaded my local maps from a friend....you can download it from TomTom if you don't mind paying...
Also, I'm assuming you have some sort of GPS icon and you can get a GPS fix where you are?

If you can see the UK map in the middle pane of TomTom Home, is there a way to re-download it? Also have you tried the 'Updates' link in the left hand pane? Unfortunately I'm working from memory, as I don't currently have TomTom Home installed.
If you can get hold of the original product code, you may be able to request a download link from TomTom.
@Blackbeauty: the question is about using Postcodes, rather than GPS fixes, but thanks for the input. Copying maps from friends is against the T&C of TomTom, and will usually not work anyway, unless the copied maps are also illegal versions, as the map activation is tied to a particular device.

Your home and/or default maps are set to Germany not UK
Load tomtom. Click on the screen
Change Preferences
Second page has
Manage Maps
Select the UK map and that should solve 1/2 the problem if not all of it.
reload tomtom
If the problem is still there
Click on the screen
Change Preferences
Second page has
Change Home location
Put in the correct location
This should fix it looking for the german postcodes rather than UK.
If not have a look here:

(I just did a google search and that was the first link, seems to have various other solutions)

cheers guys. got it working now. thanks.

Good work- did you do it through TT Home in the end?

Hi NeilM,
Not in the end no. Instead I managed to get a copy of the two UK postcode files and drop them into the ZIP folder using ActiveSync.
Cheers for all your help. Great forum this.

[APP][UPDATED Oct 9 2008] XChange R8 currency convertor

Hi guys,
I must admit that I didn’t write software for a few years, and this is my first attempt after a long break – so please be gentle…
Xchange R8 is a simple currency convertor. You can choose 3 currencies to be displayed and for the time being you have two WebServices available: Bank of Romania (for my Romanian friends) and Bank of England (for my other friends). Bank of England currency are accessed via the Export Technologies WebService.
You need of course an Internet connection.
For Bank of Romania you can choose to see the currencies as they were at a certain date. Before you ask, chosing a date in the future will alas not work. The Export Technologies service does not have this function though, and when working with the Bank of England this choice will be unavailable.
The program remembers the last downloaded values for each service.
Please note that the Export Technologies service (for Bank of England) is slow – an update can take up to a minute. There’s nothing I can do about that.
I wrote this program initially for myself, as I often needed to know the currency rates and this is much faster than navigating from the browser. Then I saw somebody on this forum asking about such a program. While I’m sure better solutions can be found, I had a lot of fun writing this. Besides, it’s free!
I’m totally willing to add other WebServices to the list if you can provide me with their address.
Please note that I can only work on this during weekends: I have a company to run and it takes almost all my time.
Another note: .NET 3.5 framework is required.
UPDATE: v 1.1:
Added Bank of Hungary web service
Corrected a bug in the calendar: when first opened it always went to a day in July. Now it defaults to today.
Notes: Bank of Hungary does not update the service daily. Therefore, after you press Download, you may see a different date than today appearing at the top: this is the date of the last update. Furthermore, because of this, when you use the calendar to choose a date, you may get the message "No data available for the chosen date!". Simply choose another date. Hint: they don't update during weekends.
UPDATE 21/08/08 v 1.2
Added Invert function for those who prefer to see the exchange course mirrored. For example, if before you saw 1 GBP = 2 USD, after Invert you'll see 1 USD = 0.5 GBP.
Added calculator. For pic see next post.
UPDATE Oct 9 2008 v 2.0
You can now convert from EUR to USD and actually whatever you want from a list of 150 currencies. Choose Webservicex from Options -> Currencies.
Please note that this service is updating all the time, so values taken at a few minutes apart can vary slightly. This may actually be a good thing if you want to feel the pulse of the market in these stressed times.
One problem with Webservicex (affecting only Romanians as far as I can tell): it only contains the old currency (ROL) and it always returns zero. I don't see this as real trouble, as you can always use the Bank of Romania service.

I definitely would. However, I need what is called a WebService, like http://www.exporttechnologies.com/webservices/currencyservice/currencyservice.asmx?WSDL.
That is usually an XML file defining the access to the service. A site simply giving a list of currencies is not a web service.
I looked at the Czech National Bank site (the english version) and could not find any link to a service. Perhaps you can help me there?

Sorry, unless I'm very wrong this is just a method to set the date (and info) on their site. I can't use this to retrieve the data in the application.
A webservice link always ends with WSDL.
This can tell you if I can use it or not. By the way, WSDL = Web Services Description Language, in case you wondered

Ya it will, we may use country specific or zone servers, either will work. You can browse the link provided above, it tells how many satellites each server has, so for coutries with very few satellites, a higher level server is advisable for faster location.

Hello, can you tell me what is the difference between these entries in gps.conf:
ntp_server=europe.pool.ntp.org
and
ntp_server=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
ntp_server=1.europe.pool.ntp.org
ntp_server=2.europe.pool.ntp.org
ntp_server=3.europe.pool.ntp.org
Which one do i use?

You are mistaken buddy! The above are only NTP servers, and not GPS servers. NTP servers are used to synchronize time, nothing else.
Using correct NTP servers helps the device to have the same time as on the GPS satellites which in turn helps for a faster fix.

The 0, 1 and 2.pool.ntp.org etc names point to a random set of servers that will change every hour.
Use your country's server and it would do.

Hey,
My experience is after changing the server to my specific location, indoor gps accuracy improved... Or maybe I just feel that way.

It does help with better connection with the time servers configuration.
You can try using the pool zone values.
like for Istanbul you can try these values (turkey):
server 2.tr.pool.ntp.org
server 3.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 2.asia.pool.ntp.org
Happy if it helped you

Hi everyone!
I have an issue with gps.conf file. It simply does not exist on my system. When i tried to copy it from my SD, it gave me an error saying "unable to write".
The application i used is "File Manager" that's free and available on the market.
Any ideas how to get the file there? I have galaxy 5500 as my handheld.
I really wish i could get my GPS working.

You have to use a file explorer with root access to paste a file in your system. That's because the system partition is mounted as read only. You have to mount the system as read/write to paste a file in. Root explorer is the one I use, it is paid though. Also, you can use the adb to push the file into the system using a pc. Hope it helps.

install SuperUser app which is freely available from market. Try running the file manager then. X-plore is much recommended.

I am happy to have helped.
For GPS to work you need your GPS on and internet is not needed...but this would be basic.
If you have internet services on and AGPS enabled, then the fix should be ideally faster and more accurate based on data received from your network provider and not only GPS satellites. Additionally Data services are required to download the map.
That is my understanding of this topic, hope others will add or correct with more if required
