P3600 GPS enabled

Hi all,
A few days ago I bought a P3600 for my wife. I have a TyTN and read the thread about Hermes&GPS. On the specs I saw the same processor is in the P3600 as in the TyTN, so both are GPS-able.
On a flyer, http://www.europe.htc.com/z/pdf/products/HTC_PRODUCT_BROCHURE_V2_111006.pdf, I saw GPS will be enabled on the P3600 later.
So I took the Hermes-cab to enable GPS on the Hermes.
Now I have GPS working on the Trinity P3600. I know it is working, because VisualGPDce shows methe signals. I aso got a fix. Only TomTom does not see the GPS-signal.
What do I have to do to enable the signal with TomTom?

If I buy one from Ebay, can I unlock the GPS functions.
Thanks for reply

Help : Touch 3 G & Garmin

I found a problem on running Garmin Mobile XT 5.0.2 with Touch 3 G.
It does not show satellite signal at all but is able to navigate to destination.
Quite annoy on this. Anyone know how to fix it.

Use IGO2008, better navigation IMO And works very well on Jade.

I have the same "problem" with tomtom 7. Doesnt show data but works fine for navigating so i dont really care that much.

Have tried IGO 8 already. Feature is very good and better than Garmin but Thailand map for Garmin has more detail and POI.
I think this is a bug of GPS software (Tom Tom & Garmin ) with chipset Qualcomm. Not sure when HTC will launch the patch to fix this

Agreed, happen to me also....u cant see the GPS signal strength but the navigation working great.......

How on earth did people got IGO8 working?, I tried it, but the program looks like its starting but then disappears without any trace.
TT7 also does not show the satgraphs, but without that it does works fine.
I have disabled aGPS btw.

Found the solution now.
Garmin Taiwan just launched GMXT V5.00.00 Asian Version.
Have tested with 3G and it work very well. Also you can modify to your local language (Asian only)

May be you have problems with licenses. Also, if you are using an unoriginal IGO, you have to disable the animations.

Hi Jankos, I also tried it with no luck (8.000 and 8.3.2.6). Can't it be a problem in the sys.txt or data.zip ?
Thanks

Just you need a different license.
Use the license file from 8.3.1 54384.
While installing the 8.3.2.64873, I resolved the issue by using above versions license file.

Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20W
Hi All,
I had Garmin Mobile XT 4.xx.xx work perfectly on my Touch 3g. But today, I have upgrade Garmin to 5.00.20w but it is not working. It could not detect my internal serial port (com 4). Inteads, it locks to GPS intermediate driver always. What could be the issue? Can anyone help? Thanks.

G-Sensor

Hello,
i am a little bit convused about the G-sensor on Jade
i have read on many previews on german websites that the jade have this sensor but i can't get it to work
In the registry i found a lot of keys if i change these noting happens.
Is there this sensor in jade if yes how i can get this to work?
i hope somebody understand my bad english *sorry*
siamkater

The Touch 3G does _not_ have a G sensor.

its the same with gps. I've read in several sites that it had gps. Its wrong. only agps.

AGPS means Assisted GPS and enhances the startup performance of a GPS. This feature goes only with GPS and Jade has both of them.

R u telling me that this phone has a gps in the same way that the touch cruise has a gps?

Yes, it has its own gps just like the Cruise.

Do you have a jade? I ask this because i cant find ANY gps software in the htc. I have igo installed and it only recognizes the bluetooth gps i use.
Another thing, some websites state GPS and agps while others only mention agps.
EDIT: which specs does the gps have? Is it sirf III? Why can't i find any specs regarding any gps, other than agps?

I have a Jade, and yes it has GPS, TT7 installed, working fine, I tweaked the phone a little and disabled aGPS, using com4 9600.
Hope this helps.

Unbelievable! For a week now i've had this phone and i have not found anything about gps. I'm using an external antenna.
Can anyone tell me the specs of the gps?

I am not sure if it is needed, but I used QuickGPS to set the hardwareport for programs on comport4.
After that I installed TT7 and placed the receiver on "Other NMEA GPS receiver, 9600b.
Working nicely, even inside although ofcourse better working outside.
What I do know that at the first time with every TT version, you have to wait a minute or so before its starting to pickup signals.

Why don't you just have a look at the official HTC specs ?
http://www.htc.com/sea/product.aspx?id=71380
or
http://www.htc.com/europe/product/touch3g/specification.html

Yes, i saw the specs on the site, but not on the phone! How do i turn it on or off? is it always on? where in the user manual do they talk about the freakin gps?!
another win for the windows mobile.

Gotta agree here. My brother got an Omnia i900 an he had a hard time figuring out how to use the GPS, too.
But I guess someone here will explain it to you. I don't own the Jade yet.

The GPS is activated only if a (navigation) software is active and configured to use the GPS, if no such soft is started the gps is not used. If you have a navigation software active/started and the gps has not the right settings like wrong com port, then the GPS is not used, so it's OFF.

oK, I'll test it today.
Yesterday i read the user manual and the only reference was to the Quick GPS app.
No where else is mentioned the gps capabilities of this phone.
How do i know its not using agps and not standard gps?

Quick GPS is only for faster positioning (download information of satellites by GPRS, WiFi or ActiveSync). Helping program only. You need of some GPS program in order to run GPS. In this program you need first to configure port and speed. Especially in Jade these settings are com-4 and speed-57600 (IGO). But in some other programs may be is different.

Kudos to you guys!
Gps is alive. Tested on both igo and tom tom.

Is using com4 9600 enough to disabled it ?

TomTom 7 on XV6800

Hello,
I'm looking into enabling gps on my VZW XV6800 and I saw that the TomTom7 is out. Does the TomTom 7 work on the XV6800 or will I have to use the TomTom6?
Thanks,
Chris

7 works
RD

I'm an advance GPS user with a Verizon Titan (XV6800) and custom ROM. I'm fully unlocked with a completely functioning GPS (no AGPS here and no digital connection fees).
I'm really impressed with Garmin XT for the phone and novice users. The added features through WIFI are very good. Speedcams and other added features are easily obtained for for a small fee or free for experienced users (lots of sites to download free).
Superior of all the SW out there is IGO8, 3D terrain and 3D buildings in major cities (WoW). Highly customizable --- the very best (NavNGO.com)
I would not buy or desire to use Tom Tom, I have over 40 hours of use and do not like their SW no matter how I try.
Least expensive SW with the greatest utility (including free trial) is POLNav v5.

RangerDave and ShadowT thanks for the info.
RangerDave could you point me in the direction where I can download the TT7 for the XV6800? Also I believe that once I have the TT7 running it will ask me to download a map of my area to demo correct?
Thanks,
Chris

Well since you have 2 posts here I will tell you like this.
Dear Mr @%$^*!$$.
Asking for free software is not following the rules here.
You will either pay $$ for it or hit up your other friend "google" and see what he says. Even with google you may still pay for it with a nice fat bug on your pc.
I'm not going to tel you how to get it for free unless tomtom web site has a free trial, then you still have to unlock the software, optain the map, unlock the map, create a pair of files with some special code that were a pain in the butt..............
RD

Ok,
I'm not looking at getting it for free what I'm not understanding is you said you had TT7 working. I go to TomTom's site I don't see TT7 Navigator only TT5 and TT6. Then I read that the Navigator is free but you have to buy the maps. I don't have a problem buying the maps as long as I know it works on my phone. From what I had read in other posts is that you can install TT7 and then through TT7 go to the TomTom site and download a demo map of your area. This is what I want to try to find out if I can get it working on my phone. I know I have to do some rom upgrades and radio upgrades to get GPS working on the phone but I would like to try it with a Demo if they have one before I go out and buy it. When I asked for a link I was more referring to a link on TomTom's site where the TT7 could be downloaded with the demo maps. However I can't even find TT7 on the site at all.
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
I have the mogul 6800 and have the TT7 and it is pretty reliable- so highly recommend it. I paid someone (works at cellphone place) to upgrade my rom (Sprint) and get the GPS working. I have also tried iGO8 but it was somewhat buggy... but great app. My bud has iGuidance 09 on his XV6800, it works great as the TT7 and doesn't hogg the few memory that the htc 6800 has... But my other bud has the HTC Touch Pro with Garmin TX and that is the best one, visual speaking..
But I say the TT7 is just right for the 6800... I hear the new Diamond2 will also pre-installed too.
Worth upgrading to get the GPS working...
Good luck Chris...

ok so I have TT7 loaded on my XV6800 and I have the "Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer" running in Mode=0. Google maps works great about 6 sats. GPS Toggle also says about 6 sats and another program I have for gps works. However when I have TomTom up the GPS signals keep jumping all over the place. Not the normal slight jumping but I'll go from North South East West and back and forth. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

So i've got TomTom working by using GpsGate 2.6 and setting tomtom to use Other NMEA GPS receiver with baud rate of 9600 and the Franson COM2. I'm not sure why it's working this way but then again I wasn't sure why the GPS cordinates where jumping all over when I had it set to use Internal GPS without GpsGate. The problem I have right now is that GpsGate is only a demo for 14 days. Does anyone know of a freeware app that will do the same thing or another way to get TomTom to work?
Thanks

I installed TomTom 7 on my XV6800 with all the maps and it works, but it says: "No GPS device!"
My GPS is unlocked and was working with google navigator, but the problem is that i have to have wifi to download maps and such.
Can someone help me getting the GPS activated with TomTom?
