Hi,
I am using 20070511_LVSW_Trinity_WM6_v2.0.0.5 however , the quickgps isn't in there. Can anyone give me a link where I can download it or extract me that CAB file out of an EXT. ROM of the P3300 ?
Thanks for the help, I appreciate that.
Cheers
Micman
Any particular reason why you want it? It is designed for the P3300 ratehr than the P3600.
All our tests on 4WM seem to suggest it makes little or no difference at all to the TTFF times, and uses GPRS data in the process
again, placebo effect...
@NeilM
Well pretty easy, it takes about 5 minutes when I start TomTom to catch the satellites.
Unless you have another solution for me ?
Thanks
Micman
Yes you could put a GPS quickfix sticker on your P3600. Works just like those reception improvement / bad waves blocking stickers...

That is a little slow by current standards, but not bad. You do need to make sure you have a clear view of the sky when obtaining first fix. Subsequent fixes ought to be quicker.
As I said above, QuickGPS makes little difference, and is also designed for the P3300 which uses a SirfStar GPS chipset, rather than the P3600 which uses the Qualcomm chipset.
if you guys think that the quickfix programs has no effect on the A-GPS chip found on the trinity, then why do you think that HTC is going to include the same program on the upcoming HTC Kaiser which seems to use the same A-GPS chip ?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't A-GPS network dependant? What if mobile provider doesn't offer such services. Anyways, I find Tomtom takes a little long for TTF. I use GPSTest to acquire fix, then load up TomTom. Works for me, hopefully helps u.

HTC has improved time to first fix with WM6. Before I installed the official SEA WM6 ROM, it always took about 4 minutes, but now it's always under 2. I don't know what they did but there is obviously something (new radio?) that improves TFF.

While I believe the GPS chip of Kaiser is a Qualcomm, there's still a chance, and rumors btw, that it's actually a SiRF-III. I know it's weired - but no one is able to confirm anything on the Kaiser - even for those guys who already got one. The only thing for sure thus far is that existing SiRF-III utilities do NOT run on Kaiser - but still it can't proof that it's a Qualcomm or it's definitely not a SiRF.
BTW, mind you that the chip on the Kaiser is different from that on Trinity. So we don't have a conclusion here yet. And you know, HTC has the past history of disabling Trinity's GPS chip in its earliest roms releases - that's make speculations difficult.
Merely giving the program the same name of "quickgps" doesn't mean anything either. If it's a SiRF, then it's something natural; but if it's a Qualcomm, I bet they would still call it quickgps instead of something like "qualcomm quickgps" for sake of simplicity.
GPS of Kaiser is a GPSOne Qualcomm I've looked into Kaiser registry. That GPS is inside MSM7200 Chip of Kaiser.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\GPSOnePort]
"InterfaceType"="COMM"
"FriendlyName"="QualComm GpsOne Card, version 0.0"
"CommPort"="COM1:"
http://www.cdmatech.com/products/msm7200_chipset_solution.jsp
I think there are some little chance to port QuickGPS application from kaiser to trinity
For Guybrush
Hello,
Look at this documentation of the chipset qualcomm 6275 on p3600 :
http://www.cdmatech.com/products/msm6275_chipset_solution.jsp
gpsOne® position-location assisted-GPS (A-GPS) solution
So may be HTC have not delivered the driver for Gps One !!!
The question of "the p3600 have à Gps-one capability"
The Answer is YES !!!
Private69.
@++++
I know... theorically should be the same... but it's not sure that GPS Driver of Kaiser seem different from the one inside p3600... but I think there some little chances to make quick gps working also in p3600. I tried to port Quick GPS application, drivers, registry settings from Kaiser ROM but when I launch Quick GPS Application, it gaves me an error like "Cannot create empty document" and I haven't understand the cause but maybe i missed something and someone more expert than me can have a better luck doing it
So after all we might have a chance to import QuickGPS from the Kaiser to the Trinity effectively....
Let's work hard guys

G'Day Crew,
First post, sorry for the newbie question.
I assume they are one in the same?
I am looking at getting the Dopod D810 from Optus (Australia) to replace my N73. I want to use the GPS side of things.
Will the Optus batch of D810's have the GPS chipset in them?
Am I able to update the rom to use the GPS?
Where can I purchase the correct version of TomTom to use with the Dopod D810? (if I cant get it I will probably not get the Dopod).
I look forward to your replies. Please help, I have tried the GSM forums and Whirlpool and so far no help has been forthcoming.
I do have the TomTom for Symbian S60 V3 though....................

First of all, the dopod 810 is the same as the P3600 or trinity, and therefor all operator version will have the GPS chipset. I don't know if it is allready activated if you buy the device, but the chip is there

Yes, but you probably have to remove the CID lock, there are two ways to do this, both to be found on this forum

That version will not work on a WM2005 device I think, but since I don't have that version, I really don't know....
1) You might not need CID unlock if the version that is coming soon is already for your device.
(Stranger where are the two methods? I only saw one)
2) I am not sure I like "purchase" in quotes.
3) Symbian tomtom is COMPLETELY a different version and no S60 software will ever work on your future PocketPC. (ah... the effects of bringing telephony to PDA... you bring the whole mass of consumers that don't really know what PocketPC is all about)

Sorry NLS about "purchase" have edited the post.
I have found the tomtom site very confusing. I am hoping to get the Dopod D810 from Optus tommorow. I am unsure what the operating system is and therefore not sure which version of tomtom to get.
I was hoping that someone with a trinity using tomtom could tell me which version of tomtom they are using. The Dopod 810 is not listed under the tomtom web site.
Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
BIQ
The operating system is Windows Mobile 5, or you may find it (although older versions, still compatible) as PocketPC (2003/2003SE).
Also do much more research because a PocketPC phone is a phone but also 1000 more things than a phone (or even a smartphone). It will be a pity to miss this.
HTC P3600 (also known as Trinity/Dopod 810) is listed as compatible with TOMTOM ver. 6 :
http://www.tomtom.com/products/features.php?ID=260&Category=2&Lid=1
I'm using TomTom 6 PPC version on my HTC P3600, and it works great...

Hey,
I've installed it on my HTC Advantage X7510 with WM6.! Professional, and I can confirm that it works.
When I'm in the today screen and I turn the PDA it does turn in Landscape and Portrait mode with no problem great at last it works.
Thanks for the link if anybody what's me to try anything please let me known.
Thanks
Gigino
I am happy for you gigino, but I am in the same boat as palmchen (have a X7500 with t-mobile WM6 ROM).
Perhaps the interface to the sensor is slightly different between WM6 and 6.1
I am sure it can't be that difficult to access it from WM6. Hopefully the developer will be able to implement it or give some clue which will assist some brainbox from this community in hacking this version to get working with WM6. In my eyes this is one of those killer apps.
I tried this on wm6.1, and had the same error message.
IMO the answer is simple: it works using HTC VUEFLO .dll. X7510 has those dll, x7500 doesn't!
In AP4 or AP5 it will work

Sorry guys, we doesn´t have these devices for testing.
We just was surprised about the info, our tool is working on HTC Advantage X7510.
Also we not know the reason why it is not working on HTC Advantage X7500.
Possible reasons:
- missing/different software driver
- different ROM/ACU version
- missing needed hardware
As i said, we cannot test because of missing hardware.

Not because of that. It was working all right.
I hated this auto rotate thing because 9 out of times the rotate happens against my wish, and it slows my device.
After the initial few minutes of novelty, I was already wanting to switch it off.

No, I don't, there are SOME dll, you can find it in the AP4 / AP5 ROM. I agree, the rotation is too slow and the screen rotation is useless and time consuming 90% of time. My brain is much faster in image rotation and my finger is slower than brain but acts only when needed

Hey guys,
first post on this, what seems to be a great forum.
I recently bought the Jade and overall i'm very pleased with it.
Today I had some time to install gps software. I picked TomTom 7.450 because i like it more than Igo. The program itself is installed well but i just can't get the receiver activated.
I allready used several settings (disabled agps, 'built-in gps' or 'other nmea receiver' in tomtom, also with different baud rates) but it keeps saying i have a bad reception, it's waiting for a useable signal and it doesn't find any satellites.
I already installe the cab file i found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3031549&postcount=5 but that also doesn't seem to help anything.
Would someone be willing to give a step by step guide in how to get this thing fixed?
Secondly, can someone tell me what setting I should use in orde to still see the 'start button' when i'm using TomTom. With my last pda it remained there when TomTom was activated, so I could also use other programs but with the Jade i can't seem to find how to do this.
Sorry if there are some grammatical errors in this post, I'm from Belgium . Thanks in advance!
update:
i managed to get some signal and got a fix, but after about a minute it was lost again and it won't find it again.
Also I installed IgO8 but it won't start on my jade so I guess I'll have to do it with TomTom...
OK, let's try to find where is the problem .
First chceck your registry. Find out what is your settings in this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS
Set GPSMode to 1
Set EnableAGPS to 0
If you already installed that CAB, it should be like this. This is going to make your GPS fix slower but more accurate and reliable (or it seems to do that ).
Second, download and install GPS Tuner from http://www.gpstuner.com/ . This is a great GPS software for offroad navigation which I use when testing GPS recievers.
Do not allow it to set your GPS receiver automatically. Set your GPS in GPS Tuner to COM 4, baud rate 4800 and Type 1. Go to "GPS Panel" and click green button "Start GPS". Do not leave this tab, because you can see how your receiver is getting fix. Be patient, especially if you do not have a good view of sky. The reason why I use this to test GPS is that you can see satelite signal even if you do not have a fix. Not all GPS applications do that.
If GPS Tuner is able to get fix in some time, there is something wrong with your TT settings. If it is not, there is something wrong with your GPS receiver or registry settings.
In the gps panel tab, the following results were given after pressing start gps (after about 2-3mins):
Lateral and longitudinal positions, altitude were correct
PDOP: 3,7 (good)
Fix: 3d fix
Furthermore it found 16 sats from which 7 were active.
So i presume it's not the gps unit itself but the TT settings? Registry settings are ok i think.
Many thanks allready!
Use latest version of TT
Try to install the latest version (v7.9) of TomTom. This one works ok on the Jade and you can also use the latest maps.

I also have TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab and when i trie to install it on my HTC Touch 3G NL i'am getting a errormessage: Installation of TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab failed.
This file is okay, i had it installed on my HP iPaq hx2110 with WM5.
Anyone any idea?
TTN7.910 works now, read below how i managed it:
It allready had TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab installed on my HTC Touch 3G NL, although the Touch 3G is a QVGA device it worked (some textlines are to big for the screen).
On this thread i found following link: (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8...9/sharing.html).
There you can find: TT7_v7.910.9185_vga_via_update_van_7450.9028.rar in the tomtom pda folder.
In this download you wil find TomTom_7.450.9028.cab and 2 versions of TT7_v7.910.9185, black and blue incl. data.chk
After installing TomTom_7.450.9028.cab (or in my case TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab) all you have to do is copy the preffered version, black or blue of TomTom Navigator.exe and Data.chk to your device: in the folder (phone or storage memory)\Programmabestanden\Navigator.
Since i have a Dutch device the folder is called Programmabestanden, i don't know how it's called in English.
On my device there is also a folder Program Files, where in my case TT is not installed.
But i think most of you can figure it out yourselfs by know how it works, otherwise your not worthy a PDA.
With TTN 7.450 my HTC could find satellites but it was unable to show me how many it found. GPS receiption was good although. With A-GPS turned OFF.
With TTN 7.910 the problem above is solved, my HTC stil finds satellites and now i can see how many of them there are out there in the sky.
Another nice thing is that now although i installed VGA TT7.450 and replaced it with VGA TT7.910 i can read all text on the screen.
The text is smaller so it fits the screen but still very good readable.
Sincelry,
a big fan of TomTom.
Final solution to this problem !
Disabling AGPS is the cause of the issue we have here.
I've done some testing with AGPS enabled and GPSMode set to 1 and the results are good (quick fix and almost no lag).
Please read my reply on another topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3143383&postcount=17

Wrong, 7.450 does support v8.15 maps, but only with keygen v7. don't ask me why, the answer is: because!

I recently noticed the cool camera, in WM6.5 on a Samsung OMNIA PPC.
With automatic panorama function, autom.release on smile and it was pretty fast.
My question is if the cam is included in the W6.5 release or if it is possible to just install the cam on POLARIS
Good idea, if hardware can fix, software also need to develop/porting to suit for polaris phone
hmm I thought it might be a usual windows mobile program so no hardware fix would be possible.
Would like to test it but I dont have the cab :-/
I wonder if it is in the hidden ROM somewhere. I could ask the guy with the OMNIA.

Hi all,
I have been using TOMTOM 7 so far which works well on my Iolite. I saw iGO8 working and it looked quite good, so attempted to install it on mine too. After installation, I have been trying to get it working since yesterday
The installation is always successful. But when I try to launch the application, the curser changes as if the phone is doing something / about to launch the application, but then nothing happens.
I dug out other threads which are about other phones having trouble with iGO8 but did not find a thread about Iolite.
Has any one tried to install iGO on their Iolite / XDA Guide / Touch cruise 09 so far (successfully or unsuccessfully) ??
I would be very grateful if I can get help on this issue please

I dug out other threads which are about other phones having trouble with iGO8 but did not find a thread about Iolite.
Has any one tried to install iGO on their Iolite / XDA Guide / Touch cruise 09 so far (successfully or unsuccessfully) ??
I would be very grateful if I can get help on this issue please

Try this: edit your sys.txt and compare.
My sys.txt:
[project]
name="igo8_pda"
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
remember, you have 2 sys.txt, on the SD-Card in "IGO8", and in "\Programs\IGO8". booth must be the same.
Greetings!
Many thanks mirko.prinz,
I will try that.
Is that from an Iolite or a different phone?
I've noticed that Iolite is not in the supported list on iGO website but iGO actually looked so good that I am still determined to get it working.
I will report how it goes later.
Thanks
My current sys.txt says:
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
I am about to try your version and will let you know how it goes.
OK, I tried that, still the same. Seems as if its about to do something, and then nothing
Anything else I should try ?
Many thanks for your help.

Maybe, you have the wrong version? They are PDA and PNA-Versions. What you was buying? What is the version-number?
Mine is iGO 8. Or do you need the exact version number like 8.0.0.335 etc ?
I can check the exact version when I get home, unless you know how to check it in my phone? I have the iGO8 directory and the included files in my phone and can check it now if you can tel lme where to check please?
Thanks.
On the phone only, when it runs. Look at home. Maybe, some versions not running on iolite. My version is 8.3.2.97313 They makes trouble with EZInput 2.1 (makes self many characters "Ä" in the input-line)
OK, try this: backup your IGO-files, then change data.zip and branding.zip from here
http://www.4shared.com/file/153951601/9e4f5553/BRANDING.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/153952106/17d1799b/DATA.html
When it not helps, uninstall IGO, take the files from the unpacked IGO8-fix.zip,
(http://www.4shared.com/file/153952792/c5f37a79/IGO8-fix.html)
put it in your folder named iGO8 of the SD-Card and then reinstall it (autorun from the folder 2577)
Don´t forget, backup your files befor!
Greetings!
Thanks, I wil ltry these fixes when I get home this eve and will report back.

Last night I started to try the changes but got side tracked by the following circumstances !
Firstly I thought I should check the version I have been trying on my Wife’s phone (XDA Orbit 2 / Polaris). So I installed the program, and then added the maps etc. Started the program and it worked flawlessly.
Now the wife was happy and that means I was too. Apart from that I knew that the installation and the maps etc itself have no problems. So it must be that this iGO is just not compatible with Iolite.
Then, I thought I will re-install the program clean, before trying your changes. But this time I tried a different version which is iGo 8.3.4.102680 .
Seems like this is quite different from the other iGO8 version I was trying previously. Unfortunately I never got that version to ever start or even display the splash screen so I don’t know exactly what version it was.
But after installing iGo 8.3.4.102680 on my Iolite, I was nicely surprised when the program actually displayed the initial splash `screen ( as this is the first time I have seen it working on an Iolite). I waited and the program actually started
The problem is, that because I had the old maps from the other version, iGO says that the maps are out of date and need updating.
So for the benefit of others, at least now we (Iolite owners) know that version 8.3.4.102680 definitely works on Iolites (even though the iGO website does not include Iolite in the supported devices).
Unfortunately I don’t have the maps for iGO 8.3.4.102680
mirko.prinz.... If no other development tonight, I will re-install the old version tonight and go through your fixes you mentioned above. Sorri didn’t get a chance last night due to seeing (some) light at the end of a (different) tunnel if you know what I mean
So now I have two versions, one with maps (that doesn’t work on Iolite) and one that works with Iolite (but doesn’t have the maps) !!
So I would be very grateful if someone here could donate the UK maps for testing this version pleeeeez ??????
Unless someone also knows how to use the old maps with the new iGO versions?
When you a little bit understand german, you should look at here
Greetings!

Many thanks mirko.prinz and stdk,
I will check out all your links tonight and will report on how it goes.
Regards,
GB
Hi mirko.prinz and stdk,
Once again thanks for the files and solutions.
I installed the maps to test, and turns out that some how the maps I have are not compatible. After installing the UK maps from stdk (thanks again) the country changed from HUNGARY to the UK (initially I could only see Hungary with my own maps and thats how far it got before I replaced the maps with the above given links).
So finally its all wrking. Thanks to both of you, hopefully I wont get lost again
Next step will be to find out how to back up my own original ROM, so I can test some of the better ones from here
Thank you.

keyboard problem
Dear all,
You are all treating the issue of "Ä" typing characters as you have a workaround for that. I've tried changing the keyboard to the default keyboard of Win 6.1 and had the surprise of being capable of introducing street name, country etc, but when I got back into writing emails I had the ezinput 2.1 keyboard again as default. Opened Igo and started having the same problems with the "Ä" character.
Any other workaround? It's hard to get into registry and change the keyboard each time you want to use Igo instead of SMS or emails, not to mention is not ergonomically to have to switch from one keyboard to another. Is there any other keyboard which works ok both with Igo and any other applications in which occurs writing?
Thanks,
Alex

I think, I was reading anywhere about a programm, that changes input-methods. It is a while ago. Must use google.

You can try fingerkeyboard 2.1, i find it a good compromise. It works in igo 8, and is finger friendly...
But ezinput still keeps resetting itself as default!
