Hi everyone!
It was just yesterday that I got my P3600, but have been reading this forum for at least a weak. So, first of all, I wanted more from my new phone and upgraded to WM6 (indigo full), installed tomtom and EE maps, but I have issues configuring it. I just been outside (as I believe in the house it can not work, right?) and trying many configurations, but none worked...
So, pleeeeeease, if anyone can give me a step-by-step guide, how to set up the settings in tomtom, and what about "External GPS" in Start->Settings->System??
ROM version: INDIGO
Radio version: 1.38.00.11
Thanks,
Peter
nevermind... I got it working, just it took a whole eternity to get hooked up...
Works nice, just the "elevation" is kinda wrong...for ~40meters :?

I dont' know if anybody has noticed this. After going thorugh Start / Settings / System Tab / Memory / running programs tab I stop all running progrrams. After sometimes I go to this place again and I find Active Sync as a running application even though I have not started it.
This did not happen on my old pda2k. Why does it happen on the universal JJ. Though it does not matter but yet it is taking some useful RAM and more so my urge to know why does it happen.
I will appreicate your views
Regards
I had this problem too
It is a pain in the ass as this causes skype not work with me. No solution yet.

Same here. I hope they fix things like this in Rom updates.
Try putting in dummy exchange server settings, disable all scheduled updates. That should stop AS autostarting.
Hi Efjay. Remember me? Anyway.. :? can you tell me/us how to go about doing this please :roll: grovel, grovel!
Meanwhile, glad I was wrong about you! :lol:
Not to worry. Sussed it. Thanks for the tip though! :lol:
mackaby007, np glad you got it working, was at work and didn't see your reply til now on the way home. One-handed WM5 rocks.
Hi Efjay and All.
I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I had some problems whereby Active sync stopped working for me alltogether. Decided to download and install the unofficial 4.1 version of Activesync in conjunction with Magicbutton (and disabled the 'close' feature of Spb pocket plus 3) and presto, I'm no longer getting Activesync running in the background and all aplications close as they should!
If anyone is still experiencing problems in this area, give this a try and please post your experience back here.
Yeah your right Efjay, one handed operation in WM 5 rocks , but I'm still struggling to put the stylus down (I've become so used it, it's a new learning curve for me).
That's what you think
Try turning on wifi, and AS will come right back. I tried your solution and no luck. I tried faking the server and changing the schedule otpion, no luck, it just lives on....
No more annoying Activesync!!
Hi All. Just to report back, I,ve not had the recurring problem with Activesync poppin back anymore, at all, whatsoever!
Mikee: I tried as you said, and used wi-fi to surf the web, then watched a 2 hour movie on the JAsJar, then reconnected the wi-fi and listened to Resco Radio for 15 minutes, then checked memory status under settings. Nothing. No Activesync and nothing else running in memory. for me at least, the problem is gone and I'm not using any dummy server settings either! I'm typing this from the JasJar now and as we speak....just checked memory again. Nothing.
I don't know what to say, but I know you've had this problem a while now and all I can think is that it's either the software you have installed (possibly need a clean re-install of Activesync 4.1) like skype, which I uninstalled the minute I got my JasJar, or your Radio ROM update, which I have not done either.
Anyway, sorry I can't be of any more help to you, but please post your findings here if you snag the culprit.
For yor reference:

ROM version: 1.12.38 WWE

Hello All,
I don't think this problem is specfic to the JasJar, as I have the very same problem on my PDA2K. This only started happening after I upgraded to the windows of OS. So, I think it's more to do with W05 and or activesyne 04 which is needed to run W05. I have also found that this happen befor I even installed any apps on system, and I never had Skype so that can be ruled out as the culprit. Anyway, still trying to solve this bug, Have not recieved my Universal as yet...I'm waiting for the o2 version :shock: Think the black rocks! Until then I have been keeping my eye on all the help from this section of the site...Just my 2cents
Hi all, new here. My MDA Compact lll takes quite some time to get a fix on satellites. It usually takes a couple of minutes or so in my car. Someone on another forum said he upgraded to the Dopod Rom and it made a huge difference in how fast he gets a lock on. I'm using tomtom navigator 6. I don't know anything about dopod rom, what version or how to install it, can someone fill me in please? My MDA is using WM5. Thanks in advance!
Are you using QuickGPS? As the name of this program kinda gives away what it does,so using it will greatly reduce the seek times in finding satellites. Basically it downloads a small file which has the location of satellites valid for the next 3 days or so, so that when TomTom (or any other GPS app) opens it already has a better idea where abouts in the sky to look.
I'd imagine the other person is using that regularly, it can be configured to automatically download the file and can do it when connected to a pc via ActiveSync which is the best way I think. (No GPRS charges incurred this way)
Thanks mark. I've already been using quick gps, ( I have unlimited internet access via my mobile service provider ) but it doesn't make much if any difference. Still curious as to whether this dopod rom will help, and/or, if a hard reset would make any difference. Having said that, I've only had the compact 3 for a few weeks so not sure a hard reset would be necessary.
Anyone else got some advice? I'm just trying to find out how to speed up my gps, whether it's just a hard reset needed or a new rom.
I had the same.
With my original ROM (T-Mobile NL) it took like 1 minute average to get a fix and even then it was only 3 sats.
With the Dopod ROM (WWE) it takes about 30 secs average and i get like 6 sats right away.
Didn't check what makes the differents though, my guess is that it's probably just the updated QuickGPS which you may also find as a seperate .cab to install in WM5.
For updating to WM6 there are a lot of posts already, try looking for the complete idiot's guide post.
Hi Everyone...
I got my son a US Cellular PPC6800 (Titan)... It has on it now :
Rom Version 2.17.573.0
Rom Date 7/1/08
Radio 1.69.00
Hardware Version 0003
PRI 1.31_027
After some reading here, it seems I need a diffrent radio to get the GPS to work... my issue is I spent all day yesterday setting up the phone for my son, just how he would like it... I would hate to have to re-do it all just ot enable the GPS... Could I just update the radio and keep the rest just how it is? or wouldnt; that work... I don;t even need the phone itself to work as a phone as I will be using it as a skype phone... I just need the WiFi, GPS, and bluetooth... Thank you in advance for you advice
No your rom or os is not compatible with a gps radio. You would have to install a custom rom and then a compatible gps radio to enable it. You will lose all settings and programs when do this change.
You'll have to flash a new radio and then a new rom, the one you currently have will have to be overwritten.

That guide should help you out. I have some more info here that you may find useful as well.

Hope this helps!
Thanks for your advice everyone... I got a new radio (3.35.04) and rom (RMcarrierlessTitanV1.1Light).. I was most like the standard 6.1 stockI was used to and had known good software for.. After doing LOTS of reading here, there, and everywhere today I was able to get the GPS to work as well with TomTom... Learning qPST was nice though.. I was easily able to change the banner to say "Skype" instead of US Cellular,Sprint, or any other carrier.. I thought that would be a nice touch as this will only be used as a Skype phone anyways...
The only other issue I am having, is when justhte phone is turned off it is reporting it isin airplane mode in certian programs (TomTom for example) and I have to turn on the phones radio to get it to work... Any suggestions? I am not putting it in aitplane mode.. and still have WiFi on at that point.. (although turning hte phone off sometimes effects that too it seems).. I am trying to get it to work well with the phone off to save battery as WiFi will be on most of the time it is in use... Thanks in advance..
hey folks,
trying to get my internal gps working now for days and it a no go for my.

- google maps
- trackmyrun
i,m running out of ideas, could it be the rom i,m using.

Are you running a stock ROM ? If not, did your GPS work on the stock ROM ?
If your GPS has never worked then it may well be a hardware problem. But if it used to work and stopped with a cooked ROM, then there was a version of WM where GPS support was broken.
Google maps also needs internet connection, you have one? Also try with a navigation software like TomTom or Igo, in Igo you have to let the software discover the port used.
i have seen one or twice the gps icon.
futher al apps keep searching for it.
i,m on a stock rom 1.88.404.3 (67102) NLD
i will have a go with Igo.
thx sofar
You could also try:
Chartcross GPStest.
Go sit next to a road so that it is easier to get a signal...
And it might take a few minutes until it got a fix.
And if you have a data connection (like T-Mobile web 'n walk), enable A-GPS in your settings. Good luck
If it helps you, the GPS port is 4 and the speed is 38400, in Igo you cann set it yourself or let the software find it
thx for the advice guys,
but i fried my rom yesterday, i believe that was the problem all along.
so i,m gona seek for a new rom, don,t now cooked or vanila.
i will post here if the gps wil function then.
laterzzz
If you are searching for a new rom try the Phoenix 2 rom from NRGZ.
It is also available in Christmas theme
And it comes with many gps settings and apps.
k k,
i wil have a go with it, downing it now.
i wil report back on howe it went.

update:
flashed to Phoenix 2.
gps is working like a charme
lots of goody,s in this rom.
thx.

Hi
i have read in a few other posts regarding GPS issues and Sat Nav software not working
now i have seen a few programs that 'kick off' the GPS and then runs the program and i have run these to no avail,
i was wondering if anyone else has not only had this issue but struggled to get it working, google maps seems to pick me up via GPS but tomtom is saying 'no gps device' go into settings within tomtom and set to internal gps device, and check gps status and no cannot see any satellites. i have had the phone outside inthe line of sight of the sky for an hour so me being inpatient isn't the issue, any help would be greatly appreciated
ta
Try this:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/GPS/GPS-Test-34335.shtml
Update QuickGPS.
If no satellites show up after a max of 5mins of you standing outside with clear view of the sky, then you either need to flash another radio or the gps is dead.
hi
thanks
have left phone outside running that, seems to be scanning com1-9..pausing for a second on port 3 then continuing. will let you know in 10 mins, what is flashing another radio involve?

ok stupid question time, but if it google maps seems to be working ok would that not suggest that the GPS radio is ok, and secondly if i did flash which one would i go for on that link you sent
i have radio version 1.09.25.14 protocol 52.49a.25.261u
there is a link
Download 1.09.25.14 / 52.49a.25.26W Radio only Megepload
Download HD_Blackstone_Radio 1.09.25.14 (with RUU) 4shared
am i flashing this even though my protocol is different?
and there is about another 10 files below all them called
Blackstone Rilphone.dll Cabs
all confusing can you help any more please
thanks
I don't believe anything google maps says in relation to GPS after it told me one of my non GPS phones had inbuilt gps, and then calculated my position using the mobile phone network.
As for which you need, well it depends on which rom you are running, whether it's a stock rom (bog-standard rom you get on device when you buy it), or a custom cooked rom from someone on the forums. I suggest you read up on it thoroughly then post in the correct radio thread if you want to ask any more questions regarding the right radio version you need.
fair do's
thanks
Did you have google maps open when you started Tomtom? That may have caused an error
hi
thanks for reply, no i open google maps it seems to find my location. close google maps, then open tomtom and is saying no gps device. the 'onboard' gps device is set on tomtom options it's just as if the gps reciever isn't picking up, same in other sat nav progams too, garmin is the same so makes me think is phone not software issue
AFAIK, Google Maps is A-GPS software, while TomTom, iGO and others are full GPS software.
Don't know about TomTom, but iGO DOES NOT work if A-GPS is enabled...
hmmmm. i'll give it a whirl, not got the phone withme at the mo, a mate is attempting to simunock it, agps is enabled so i will disable it see if that helps. tempted to get rid and get an effing iphone at this rate
Let us know how you go....
Don't give up, it;s a great phone
had the same issue with tomtom v7.450. using tomtom v7.916 now and it's running like charm
Just had replacement Touch HD delivered from Orange this morning, flashed to my usual ROM, and get exactly the same symptoms as Pete did.....
Tried:
TomTom
Memory map
HTC GPS Tool
Updating QuickGPS
Updating Radio ROM to latest version
Reflashing different OS roms
nothing makes a difference.
Not really keen to take it apart as i'll break the VOID sticker and probably end up in an argument with Orange, but Id bet any money that the GPS cable has come loose......so frustrating as im working abroad as of next week and i'll really use the GPS a lot......
Also just found out that the replacement handset is "refurb".....I bet the muppet that refurbed it didnt reconnect the GPS cable
