HTC P3600 GPS question - P3600 General

Hi, I've read that if the radio version on the P3600 aka. Trinity ends on .11, the GPS is disabled. My radio version is 1.16.00.00. Is it useable ?
If yes, how do I use it ?
PS: Oh, and while I'm at it, how do I play flash content like videos on youtube, video google etc. ?

It's the other way around. If you radio version ends in .11, then GPS is enabled.
You radio 1.16.00.00 is too old and does not have GPS.
Update to a newer version, like 1.46.0.11 or 1.46.30.11 and your GPS will work.

Oh, okay. Where do I find a newer version ? I've looked in the upgrade forum, but found nothing.

I've tried all the radio ROMs there, it says the ROM is invalid when I try to update.
Oh, nevermind that, I found a guide to fix that problem. But how to I play flash content ? I have flash player 7 installed. And can you recommend any GPS software ?

You have to install a "Hard SPL" before you can install something else as written here . I suggest you Olipro 1.20 (1.30 have some problems with eventual downgrade).
Follow this instructions before installing a new radio...
GPS software? I use Tom Tom... great piece of software...and for free there is NoniGPSPlot, which isn't a really GPS navigation software like Tom Tom, but it's nice...

I'm running Igo 2006 Plus which isn't so heavy

Okay. I've tried to use GPS with Google Maps, but it doesn't find any satellites. However, when I use GPS Info to search to satellites, it does find some. Why is that ? It doesn't find satellites with NoniGPSPlot either.

Hi,
you have to wait some minutes for the fix the first time (3-5 min or more). Lie still (is important) in the middle of an open space like a square or somewhere else (and not at home or somewhere under a roof)... The second and successive fixes will be faster (ca: 30s-1min), but stay always still for the fix...

GPS really works?

Hey folks!
I just bought a Trinity device couple weeks ago and after really looking throught these topics I yet didn't found a solution about my GPS.
My GPS is dead And I tried to do all what I found here and another internet forums but it doesn't work.
I checked my device and it already was in lastest HTC version, but for sure I update it again desesperately!
After testing it with some programs that work here ( Brazil! ): Destinator, Smart2go, Route66. It doesnt worked :/
So I thought... Maybe with WM6?
So I get this version: RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship
And after unlocking the CID and testing all the programs again... it YET didn't works!
For gods sake help me!
Maybe the steps above are very easy for some of you but this is my first PDA and Im kinda lost!
Well... thanks to everyone who read this and about the excellent manuals / programs you have here.
PS: Is there anyway to test if my GPS chips is working properly?
read people say that it's not the normal rom which
need to be upgraded for gps to work but the radiorom

I think this changes when you do the rom update. But post this info here could help you.
ROM version: 3.00.707.18
ROM date: 07/24/07
Radio version: 1.46.30.11
Protocol version: 32.79.7020.19H
Hey guys I found a program called: GPS Gate 2.0
He states me that my GPS is alive on COM9!
I will try to found the reason why the GPS programs aren't working and let you know. Problably it is directing to the wrong port.
Just for info,
GPS Gate worked fine and now I have GPS fully functional.
Thanks everybody

TomTom 6 and Xperia working version is.. ??

I need to know the exact version of TT6 which is working in Xperia. When i tilt the screen tomtom seems to work fine, but when i close the keyboard the SW hangs and give me an error report. Seems to be a resolution issue?
I have an english version of xperia with original rom
Tomtom 6 western europe (think it is 6.01 or something )
I've been searching trough numbers of forums
And if anyone could post me file link userguide... u would save my day !
NoobRLM
*Looove WM6.1!!*
sorry i cant really help you.. but i have being trying to install tom tom 6 / 7 my self on my x1, i just cant get past where it says no maps found, i tried many different versions. can u please tell me which version you have? and if you have any links please PM me. or how i can put the maps in the right folder.
pleaseee
I am just guessing but i think your have the problem with the resolution/ redering. and i read sum info on that sumwhere on the forum cant find the link.. sorry.
thanks in advance.
TomTom 6 and 7 work ok
I am using TomTom v6 with no problem at all. I simply took the SD card out of my Touch Pro, placed it in the X1 and it all worked as before.
TomTom 7 didn't work at first, saying it was not compatible with my device, I did however after a bit of googling, find an update of TT7 files that I replaced, and all works flawlessly.
Also worth mentioning, the GPS reception, start up time and accuracy are much improved over my previous HTC devices.
My xperia and tomtom 6?
Sorry, I have a few days my xperia. Tried at many ways tt6 to install.
Even called the support from tt. xperia isn't supported.
On this forum I read that tt6 is working on xperia!
What do i wrong?
I haven't a htc, my earlier phone is a 990i so I can't take the same sd card.
990i has a memory stick pro duo, and xperia has a sd card.
Why does the build in gps doesn't work with tt6?
I believe tt is capable for xperia, while on youtube it is shown....
Why not at mine? What do i wrong?
Please help!
Paul
Just install wvga to vga and it will work

[Question] How to test GPS hardware...

Hi all,
suddenly my GPS is not working anymore. Can enable GPS and it says it is ok. But when i want use Google Maps, or navigation program the icon in taskbar is not there anymore.
Did try GPS Status, nothing....
Did a fresh rom install and wipe everything i can wipe.. nothing not working.
now i want to know is there a tool or adb option to test the hardware if this is still working.... (maybe GPS is broken)
Thanks
Did a RADIO rom flash with the one i already had on my HTC... and problem solved....
Still wondering how it can happen that maybe the radio rom was getting crazy...
had the same problem two days ago, same solution... same no idea for the cause
this kind of strange things was my idea only for windows... suddenly it is not working anymore.. But.. Solve this problem was mutch easier haha
This seems to happen whenever you flash a 2.1 ROM. Even going back to 1.5 doesn't fix the problem and a new radio flash is required.
Regards,
Dave
Test program
Try GPSTest from market.

Every now and then manufacturers like HTC will release an update to radio which controls your wifi, data, blutooth. If your current radio is having problems, you will need to update it. Most of the time new radio is included with the update but you can Google individual files as well, hope this explains

GPS doesn't start...Help!

I've been finding I'm having problems this week using TTNavigator (when I didn't have problems before)... I'm wondering if something went wrong with my GPS Update?
I'm using Nav N Go iGO Amigo and Igo8, sorry but I do not know about TT. about once a mount I'm deleting these files, allso you can try to download HTC GPS Tool from http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=133&act=sd&cat=all
Actually I don't expect anything else from this phone since I have it for about 2 years, probably the system is already modified and the phone is to old for it.
there's a GPS fix on htc site for touch diamond.. it's the only thing that helped me after two weeks of searching... good luck...

Delete xtra.bin in the Temp folder and the Windows folder, and soft reset.
^that is what worked for me

[Q] Need someone to clarify some things.

OK i have the Touch P3050 from Telus. Ive been reading all over that the GPS is locked with the original ROM, i have been playing around with it for a while and installed TOM TOM 7 and the gps is working fine. I updated the rom also from the update from HTC website witch gets it to WM6.1. Also wondering if this what opens the gps. Also i have updated the radio to 3.42.50 could this also be why the gps is open.
The second part to this is after testing this out i have installed NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM. My question is that before installing this rom the phone connection says its EV on the top line and after installing this rom it says 3G. Can someone clarify this for my as to why this is and how come it wasn't before.

First question: Yup, any radio upgrade over 3.xx.xx will unlock the GPS.
Second question: EVdO is, afaik, 3G. It is just a matter of the icon

Thanks for the reply. Kinda answered my questions, but the radios were allways 3.xx.xx so it must be because of the higher radio, and what does afaik mean?

afaik = as far as I know
If you were always above 3.xx.xx, your GPS wa always unlocked. Maybe you didn't have the correct settings one.
