In the registry i found a lot of keys if i change these noting happens.

The Touch 3G does _not_ have a G sensor.

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.

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?

Problem with Garmin XT on HD2 - turns on bluetooth instead of internal GPS

I installed Garmin XT on my HD2
when I run it, it starts scanning for bluetooth GPS devices and cannot just connect to the internal GPS.
I checked my External GPS setting
All Setting>System>External GPS
GPS Program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (none) Baud rate:4800
and in Garmin, when I go to
Settings>System>Remote GPS
it turns on my bluetooth and starts scanning bluetooth!
when I click on Disable, it says "Connection allowed to Garmin GPS device only"
Any idea how to fix this problem??

The trial version only allows you to connect it to an official Garmin GPS receiver I believe. Since the HD2's GPS isn't officially a Garmin type one it won't work like that and that's why it's switching on your bluetooth (to try connect to a Garmin GPS).
Solution is to buy the full version.

I run Mobile XT on my Raphael and I don'expect any issues when I receive my HD2. If you purchased your Mobile XT with the external GPS like I did, there are ways to make it work with the internal GPS. You can also run your mapsfrom any SD card you choose. Requires adding some text files to your garmin directory. Do some smart googling.

Problem solved with the full version.
the trial was the problem.
Thanks for your help guys

hi there.

I am glad that you decided to go with "Full Version" and buy it ... though Garmin no longer sells GMXT

It is a shame that Garmin no longer sells the XT version. And we have to look for other ways. cough, cough. I find it much better than iGO and Tom Tom. Just installed the 2011 maps here in the U.S. and I simply love it.

ditto - if you believe me I was (currently) determining what phone to get that can run Garmin XT. That's the only reason I did not go with Android (unlocked version of Nexus One - Incredible or whatever the name is)

Ques?
em using HTC HD2 with WM 6.5... I want to install Garmin XT... will it work f9 on my device?

GarminXT will work absolutely perfectly on your HD2 with WinMo 6.5.
It really is the best taking into account Garmins maps like Topo's and Marine. You can go from hill to highway to ferry and have a map for all.

I am looking for Garmin for Android, too.

Xperia x2 gps

Hi Guys!
Does anybody have experience with X2 GPS.
I can't make it work with TomTom or iGO.
It works fine with Google and GPS Test, but TomTom and iGO say GPS not found.
Any ideas?

What TOMTOM version do you use? In 7.9 there's an option called Other NMEA Receiver, when you select that it should detect your GPS automatically, and how long do you wait after selecting the device? Have you downloaded quickfix update?..sometimes it takes a while before it gets a signal..you can check if tomtom recognizes your GPS if the yellow/black ball is spinning at your GPS config

It seems that the Copilot live works properly. I have the same issue with TomTom and Igo. I tried to change SYS on Igo, forcing COM4 port but seems disconnected.
If you select in TomTom the other NMEA GPS and set up the UART Serial Port, seems that the GPS work but it disconect each second...
Any Ideas??

GPSGate solves the problem!

I installed the GpsGate 2.6 but once I start the phone, it seems that is working, but sometimes the apps crash and you need to restart the X2. I tried too in Safe Mode, but the result was negative.......... Some Idea??

I couldn't get it to work yesterday.
Today I installed the latest update from SonyEricsson, i then installed GpsGate 2.6.
After this it worked.

I have the update applied too, but seems the app crash..... I have the battery level down now, I will try to restart the service once I finish the charge. Until the crash, the GpsGate and Nvigation software (TomTom and IGO) works properly.
Thanks....

Thx for the advise!
Yes, the version is 7.9 and I have tried both built-in GPS and Other NMEA Receiver (with proper COM port) - no success!
I have waited long enough - I tried with Google and it was OK, plus I know how long it may take - I was using same version of TomTon on HTC Diamond, so...
Thanks anyway.

I tried the GPSGate and it seems that this might be the solution BUT... You need to run it manualy (not to run after soft reset) - in this case it seems that it works. This applies to version 2.5 since this is what I have.
Will continue testing.

igo8 on x2
to make igo8 work you have to edit sys.txt file
[device]
type="alias_xperia"
[gps]

good luck

This is exactly what I had in mind - you should not use this option. It seems that GPSGate runs before GPS device is available so it doesn't work.

download the file below and replace it in the program folder of igo it worked for me. with igo after that restart your phone. uninstall gpsgate

Also have an X2 with TomTom and GpsGate, and it loses signal after 10 minutes. That's very annoying because I don't have any other navigation software and my Tytn2 just died...
Anyone knows the gps comm port number on X2? I found a soft called PortSplitter that is similar to gpsgate, but needs to manually enter the comm port.

Hello again.
I have copied the file in the igo folder and I continues with the problem, the situation is similar to "astm13", the connection with the GPS is lost 10 minutes after the "navigator" is running. Always 10 minutes.
Please help me!!!!

Try to change the input in GPS Gate : use WM GPS instead of GPD9. Seems to be working, I'll test during a long driving.
Edit : Just tried today during 2 hours, worked perfectly! Tomtom never lost the signal.

Hi All !
Does it make any difference where you put the code in the sys.txt for iGo8.
I have tried this and still no go. Google maps works perfectly, however iGo
any help is really appreciated.

Good news there may be a way to fix this.
Try the following: go to Settings / External GPS and from programs change the GPS program port to COM8.
For me that did the trick and now my iGo8 is working like a charm
I am using a X2 with official MR1 software installed.
If anything else comes up I'll post here

I guess Tomtom you are using is for WM 6.1. X2 using WM 6.5. I use garmin XT on my HTC Kaiser (WM 6.1) and my X2 and have no problem whatsoever.

I Don't think so,because My SE.X1 runing window 6.5 too , but it can Down load the city map and run good with TOM TOM 7.7.9.10 Navigator
only X2 won't work,I fell so bad,can you tell me how to get the GAMIN.XT APP and North America MAP,and how to Install to X2,Thanks you very much.

Since you ask here and not at Tomtom service I take it you have your reasons.
I have tried to install Tomtom on my X2 without MR1 and MR2 without luck. My previous X1, no problem.
Have you had a look at gpsunderground.com?
I've bought and installed copilot ( http://www.alk.eu.com/ ) and it worked flawlessly at mr1. And it is really cheap but navigation is thereafter. I would barely recommend it, but the GPS connects nice.
If you have a look at supported devices at Tomtom you can clearly see that SE X2 isn't supported. If someone gets it running nicely at our X2 i wouldn't judge people who gets it at places as gpsunderground and similar - but hey, that's just me, it's Tomtoms loss and not ours.

You need "GPS Gate" to get TomTom working on the X2, this has been covered many, many, oh did I mention many? times.

I don’t use GPSGate and TomTom Ver 7.910 works on my X2.
On the X2 – go to Settings/System/External GPS and change GDP9 TO COM8.
Open TomTom and change the GPS Device from Built in GPS receiver to Other NMEA GPS receiver and select COM8.
Make sure you run FASTGPS and download the latest Sat Data.
Hope this helps

I'll give you a hint. NO ONE has TomTom listed as a GPS receiver, so stop looking for it! Go back and read the posts again.

i'm using destinator 7 and igo8 both work great with the X2, you just have to set com port 3 or 4 on your xperia
