Hi All - anyone have any idea as to why my pda and gps connection switches off after 2 mins exactly? I'm trying to establish a connection that doesn't drop its signal. The pda ( Acer N310 ) and GPS (Holux slim 236) establishes connection fine and with good signal but doesn't last more than the specified time of 2 mins! I'm trying to run memory map software. I've checked and unchecked the GPS settings tab for 'Manage Automatically', tried the hardware settings (in the external GPA tab) from Com 0 - 9 for the different baud rates all with the same result. What am I doing wrong? I've tried different Roms and WM5 and 6!

Hi to all , i'm a new user of TYTN .
I always use it as a modem to surf the web via BT in conjunction with my laptop.
My question is : there is a way to defaul the wireless modem to BT ( it default to usb ) when start the program and ( maybe ) the program starts automatically without select MENU>START....
ALSO : i saw that the internal modem work also when the device is into sleep mode and without starting the wireless modem but in this case the connection hang after few minutes ( i think the BT connection to the PC hang ).
If the device is in active state the internal modem work too and fine but if no data is exchanged for a while the device goes to sleep without advice then connection hang.
No problem using the wireless modem .
Again ... there is a way to add the internet sharing via PAN BT like hermes' brothers ( P3600) ???
thx in advance

I'm having the same problem, also in Italy on TIM. I have tried two different SIM cards, different data plans, and can not find any pattern to the disonnects. If the connection sits idle, it will suddenly stop passing traffic. I have at times been able to keep the connection active by running a game (WoW) in the background on my laptop, but as soon as I the game quits due to timeout (not playing), the connection gets "stale" and dies. Other times, the game will not keep the connection active either. The time it stays active is inconsistent as well. Sometimes when I connect, I get no received packets, only sent. If I disconnect/reconnect 4 or 5 times, usually I will get a good connect and be able to open a web page. I do find it is worse in the daytime than in the evenings, but this is not always true.
BTW, I'm on a TyTn, MacBook Pro w/ the modem script linked from the wiki.
Any ideas?
@ jcolley :
i don't know about macbook , but a problem like your appear on micro$oft XP with the built in bluetooth stack .... much more better use the widcomm stack or toshiba stack for bluetooth

Nope, as there still isn't an AKU3 ROM for the TyTN.
As far as disconnection problems are concerned, try using a desktop-based ping utility to keep up the connection.

My gps reciver keeps losing its connection with my phone what am i doing wrong?
how long does it stay connected for?
does it lose connection in a certain place?
what GPS reciever / Software are you using?
are you using the GPS settings in the application or also via the GPS menu on the wizard?
loses a connection every time i turn the phone off
it would do.. there is no power to the phone.. so there is no connection made to the gps reciever...
everytime you start the phone up it has to reconnect..
No i mean every time i turn the phone back on i have to manually re-pair the gps to the phone and tomtom.
what rom are you using?
its the standered 02 rom that came witht he phone got it oct last year, ive not changed nothing on it
I'm new to this forum, and learned a bit too.. Reading all sorts of posts.
Right now my ActiveSync drops connection when i connect the phone, and first <b>now</b> i realized there is a newer version.. So that's maybe a solution for that.
Well...
I am wondering about the GPS control panel icon... It's not there? Then @ HTC's site, i read they have a new ROM to fix that, so i tried.. it worked, the ROM update.. but no GPS icon still.. :-/ (It was the same image version, i remember, but i had a hope..)
Then...
I've been reading about the homemade ROM's. And something about the EXTENDED memory?
Is there a ROM that will give me the GPS icon, and maybe fix some things/bugs - optimize. And have some fancy pancy thingy programs and stuff? Danish would be preferred though..
My first post.. I will try to get better
------
Oh, and something to make the phone like a USB-drive.. If u know what i mean..
------
aaarh, when i would like to download some files, it just opens, and dont start downloading.. why? and maybe a fix?
------
The sync is still connected... the newer version helps..
Will TOM TOM 6 work fine??
aaand, when pushing the "messages" link on "today screen", sometimes i takes tome time to get in.. why?
I hope someone will answer some of my annoying questions
Nothing?
Did I ask TO newbish?
Yes ensure that you are running the latest activesync. Also are you using personal firewalling software, make sure that the network connection is allowed. ActiveSync connects using a virtual network adaptor, with a network of something like 169.254.2.X.
Make sure you have the most recent ROM from HTC installed on your unit, some of the older ROM's don't have GPS enabled.
GPS is automatically turned on by the unit, hence no off or on control. I personally use TomTom on my 3600i. To get it working make sure that your GPS port settings are the same for your device (Settings, System, External GSP, Programs) & TomTom (Check Preferences, Show GPS Status, Configure).
Ensure that you are standing outside for GPS to connect, it may take up to 6-8 minutes for a cold sync (however should only take ~2 minutes).
To check if your GPS is actually working, go to show GPS status, if you see the message "GPS Device Not Found" it's not working properly, check the above steps again. If you see "No valid GPS signal!" this means your GPS is working, however not yet locked on-to satelites (you might also notice the blue and yellow circle spinning).
I'd recommend you don't touch any other ROMs until you have more experience.
You can see your phone in explorer, look under \My Computer\Mobile Device
Messages taking a while to open, no idea, try a soft reset & see if the problem keeps on happening.
For your future posts, i'd recommend asking only a few questions at a time & make them clear.
PS - My settings for GPS that get TomTom working:
Device - Settings / System / External GPS
Programs tab / GPS program port: COM4
Hardware tab / GPS hardware port COM9 / Baud rate 115200
Access tab / Manage GPS automatically (enabled/selected)
TomTom - Change preferences / Show GPS Status / Configure
Other NMEA GPS receiver / GPS baud rate 115200 / GPS in COM9
Hi Steve
Ask less questions, got it... Maybe it was because I'm new and did not now all this existed and a lot got onto my mind at the same time.
Well, the ActiveSync 'problem' is solved. Newer version was the solution.
I checked the ROM date, and is was older than the date they gave on the HTC site, but when it checked the image version, it said it was the same, but i still updated. But still no GPS icon
- My GPS is working though, with TomTom 6
The "Today - Messages" link is still slow. Sometimes i have to tab several times to get it open - quite annoying.
I could choose COM port when TomTom got installed, and that was GPS on COM9, and baud rate was set up from 4800 to 9600. I will try 115200...
A BIG 'thank you' to you, Steve...
Now i only miss the GPS icon

To have the GPS Icon showing up, you'll find the registry tweak in the trinity's wiki.
You can also use trinity hack that can be downloaded in this forum too.
Both can do the trick.
Thx riri22
I'll try something out
Now i have Touch HD for about 2 weeks, and my GPS is not working. I tried so much. HTC GPS Tool, TomTom7, iGo8, GPS Test, changing COM Ports, Baudrate and so. But my GPS isn't working. It doesn't found Satelites, and i get no GPS Fix.
Im over with my ideas.
Can someone help me to get the GPS working?
I hope you understand me because I am an Austrian
The first GPS-Fix could take some time.
First I would try this:
connect your Pda to the internet (wifi,...) and download with "quickgps" the local sat-gps-data
then try to connect again with a gps-program.
beware that you must stand outsite, irq is 4. if there's no connection after 15 minutes your settings are broken and it would better to make a hard-reset.
Before installing gps-programs make a backup.
also i would consider to flash an actual rom. the gps works now really much better, also in buildings.
you can use for quick gps testing, i mean without installing an application, mobilemagic. good luck.
I have the current QuickGPS datas and I did 4 hard resets, because i hoped that it would help, but nothing.
I was driving around with my car for about 2 hours but no signal.
And i was testing it with the old Radio Rom 1.09 and the new Radio 1.10. But same issues.
Check to make sure aGPS is turned off and that you are just using GPS.
Also, stand outside without moving when getting a fix. It can take up to 15 minutes as the HD downloads the data from the satellites.
As for settings, using COM Port 4 with baud of 57600 works for me.
I think your description isn't good enough in order to say what is wrong.
The best you can do is to use programs like VisualGPSce or BeeLineGPS.
AGPS is turned off in AdvancedConfig.
VisualGPS and BeeGPS didn't start on my Touch HD
Now i test it with GPSTest and it says "GPS Starting Up" for about 20 minutes
"VisualGPS and BeeGPS didn't start on my Touch HD"
This tells me you have a problem somewhere on your HD, not even gps related (but which does cause also GPS not to work). Have you installend .net 3.5?
Yes .NET Framework 3.5 is installed.
VisualGPSce tells me "Could not initialize communication buffer size"
Is there a way to set my Diamond to turn on the 3G connection when I use Tomtom? It turns on when I go into IE and Opera, but when i go to Tomtom it doesn't activate.
Thanks for the help
as far as I know, you dont need 3g or any internet connection for that matter when using TomTom. As long as you have TomTom and the proper maps installed, you can just get all the data you need via your internal GPS reciever.
Ive been connecting to 8-14 gps satellites with the nodata cab installed and all toggled to off, as well as schap's advanced config tool with all network settings to off.
im using 3g connection to get traffic update,you cant receive it with the internal gps receiver!
just try to do traffic update and be sure that the settings are correct ,wap or something instead of your isp
Tnanks for the replies. I could be wrong here and totally off my rocker, but I thought that I get faster signal lock when I have 3G on.
Again, could be way off and I was just seeing things.
djcedric is right about the traffic update. Cvrle1, as far as i know, you are wrong about the faster signal lock. If you use the QuickGPS app via 3G or wifi or whatever data connection you use, it downloads the newest satellite data to your phone, giving a very fast signal lock. After I have the QuickGPS settings it takes me about 1-3 seconds to find all the satellites.
Note that the quickGPS settings are only valid for a week, when it expires you have to run QuickGPS again, otherwise it takes considerably longer to find the satellites.
Hope this helps.
