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.

The Touch 3G does _not_ have a G sensor.

AGPS includes GPS ;-)

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.

How do you disabled aGPS ?
Is using com4 9600 enough to disabled it ?

WRONG my HTC Touch 3G aka Jade has a build-in GPS reveiver

ok so i just upgraded to the gps rom....
what are some good maps i can install and use with this newfound gps function....
possibly free if not available for trial at the very least...
ok first things first, can someone post the settings i should have under my gps settings and program settings
i'm using googlemaps right now and it went through the initialization phase of gps fine and now its stuck at seeking gps satellites....
how long does it usually take to find satellites?
nvm got it to work......had to stand by the window
SWEET!!!!!
now get this going for the hermes and im in heaven! it will have EVERYTHING!
There's no built-in GPS on a Hermes. Yes, it does share the Trinity's GPS-capable processor and the same software, radio firmware and drivers work on the Hermes, but there's no antenna in the Hermes and no way to connect one.
Rookie question here: Is it possible to share my Trinity's GPS unit with my Wizard over a Bluetooth connection? Now I don't know if Bluetooth is required to be enabled when using GPS because the Trinity communicates to the GPS unit over BT or if it's just something to get the damn thing working but if it does actually send the GPS data over BT, how would one set the other phone to use this signal?
Thanks.

Try GPSgate http://www.franson.com/gpsgate/
I have shared Trinity's GPS with my laptop before, I don't see any reason why not between two phone.
GPS data is a one way data stream, so you can record it or redirect it to any virtual COM port on any device designed for it.
But I think GPSgate is the only app I can recall that does it nicely.
Also checkout the PocketPC Experts' reviews of GPS software for other possibilities.

You may try also GPS2Blue (http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html) - benefits: it's freeware.
Thanks fellas for your wonderful suggestions. I'm looking into them now.
Hi!
I have read the other GPS threads and cannot find a solution, but will keep searching.
I managed with help from here, to get Tom Tom working and also Garmin XT.
Both worked with the internal gps chipset well, but last night they both stopped working.
My version of Tom Tom does not have the inbuilt receiver as an option so I used 'Other NMEA receiver' with COM4 and baud rate 4800 and it did work.
In Garmin's settings, I used COM4 and it worked.
Now both do not work. The Tom Tom just waits for a connection and Garmin shows a panel with Awaiting better GPS Accuracy
Both programs do work if I use an external Navman B1- Bluetooth receiver.
I have also tried PortSplitter but that does not seem to work either.
Any advice appreciated !
Ofiaich
Sorry dude, I can't help you out BUT I have noticed there's a fairly newish version of Garmin XT out now
http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3389
some people may not have noticed
Thanks !
that's the one I am using or rather I am not using but want to use
Ofiaich
sorted now....
Ofiaich
There is a program called GPS Info.
Try to find newest one or use mine from att (it works for Trinity).
It should test GPS.
thanks nimnull!
I am trying now...I do have an app called GPS Test but it doesn't display all of the screens of information. Did so on the Kaiser by using the scroll wheel.
Yes, it works thanks ! I am not sure what all of the numbers mean but I can guess
Ofiaich
More important, that GPS Test should make GPS "fixed".
Hi!
I can see, at the bottom of the screen, [setup][GPS Info] and can see activity but I am not sure where to look for "fixed"
I have not checked the boxes for VTG WAAS or PowerSave
Sorry to be slow
Ofiaich
GPS Test has to write that GPS is fixed and show your position.
If you still have Kaiser you can check there.
Mine GPS in Trinity doesn't work anymore
Hi again,
on my Kaiser, the screen downloads lots of data then stops. i.e. it does not keep on scrolling...like on the HD,
In the GPS Info view, it shows the satellites positioned in the concentric rings, but not figures for the lat: lon:
the date shows as 1601/01/01 So about the time the first Englishman set foot in Japan
so I now check the boxes for VTG and WAAS and the GPS Info now shows
2008/11/13 and also my location.
Back to the HD, checked the VTG and WAAS and date was same as for Kaiser but now has updated. Position updated too.
Screen on HD cuts off the right side of the data. so need some screen rotating utillity
Ofiaich
If GPS Info shows your location - it means that GPS is fixed and works OK!
Hi!
with the he boxes for VTG and WAAS checked, it does !
Thanks very much !

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.

Try this ... use GPS Intermediate Driver instead of Comm 4.
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.
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.
where you get the full version?

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.
