In the past, I've been using settings that works, but not a way that locks the GPS position in the fastest way, until now.
This setting allows all your applications, no matter how many they are to simulteneously use the GPS, and I get complete position lock in under 20 seconds for virtually every applications, INDOOR (near a window of course). The satelite symbols appear instantly, while the 3D fix time depends on application, ranges from 5 seconds to 20 is my impression.
I don't want to take credit for this, as I got it from here:
http://www.x7501.com/forum/X7501-GPS-Issues-1184315093.html
Basically, go to start>setting>external GPS, then set the program port to com 8, harware port to com 4, and manage it automatically. Then on all your applications, set the com port to 8.
That's it.
I was literally shocked at the speed. You can almost all it a instant locking of GPS position in all applications.
I have TOM TOM, iGO, Mobile Golf Scorer, GoogleMaps all almost instantly (in relative sense) acquiring 3D positions with the above setting.
EDIT: Please see post #51 on other combinations of settings that would also work wonders. Most of the time you should get 3D fixed in about 6 seconds. Or may be 10 seconds.
Doesn't seem any quicker for me I'm afraid.. About 4 mins from a cold boot.
Great !!!
This is the best my GPS has worker. Frist time ever in the house. One more
tip the baud rate set at 38400.
Thank you
the way i setup is:quick gps>gps tool>google maps...i usually get a lock in under 2 mins.
How do I set the com port to 8 in tomtom navigator?
I can't find it in the tomtom settings.
Bart
To set that in Tom Tom, go to main menu/preference/show gps status/configure. Then choose Other NMEA GPS receiver, set the baud rate to 38400 as mentioned above, and finally choose com 8.

When I use iGO, upon the second orange LED light blinking, I got the 3D fix and my main menu turns green!!! And that is INDOOR. That is INSTANT!
My GoogleMap manage to get 8 active satellites indoor!
Shocking, miraculous!!
holy! steve, that was one heck of a tip you got there! thanks a lot for this! previously i could get a lock (using tomtom here in melbourne) in around a minute or 2. but now, it's as if my gps was running the whole time. no cold starting at all!

Check your setting to see that you follow exactly. What application are you running that takes 4 minutes?
com8 wont appear in my tomtom settings,but will wait for a gps signal if i set it to com5.
Google maps just says initialising gps but never does.
wots up wid dat?

Did you go to start/setting/external GPS and set the software port to com 8 and hardware port to com 4 and let it manage automatically? Set baud rate to 38400.
In my Tom Tom, com8 appears as the first option, make sure you choose Other NMEA GPS device.
In googlemap, did you choose manualy setting it to com 8 before using GPS?

yep! everything is setup correct but no com8 appears in tomtom,I get ril on com6,7,5 and some others.
Google is also set manually,i even gave it a soft reset after it didnt work the first time.

So what setting works the best in your case and how quickly do you get fixed? Does anyone with the same ROM manage to make the settings mentioned in this thread work ?
I wonder if your unit will work differently with a different ROM.
Robson, Nutty Buddy, and Wgary,
What is you ROM, radio and device? I wonder why it works so well in our case but not so in the other two cases so far.

i'm using the aku3 rom with a 1.50 radio. i wonder if the tomtom version he's using has any bearing on the com ports. for me, after configuring to nmea and setting the baud rate, the first option is immediately com port 8. this is how it shows on my screen:
gps is connected to:
com8
ril on com6:
infared port
com7:
com5:
infared port
and believe me it now locks on to satellites much, much faster. when clicking on preferences and i check the gps status, by the time the screen loads i already have like 6 satellites locked on. and then after a few seconds 3 bars switch to blue which means the gps signal is already good. and then after a few seconds the fourth bar turns blue as well. as i've said, this is the fastest setting i've seen on my unit. wish i had this when i was using powermap in thailand.....though i'm not sure if the com port settings would be same. man, that program was funky =)

Hello guys,
i was wondering if the GPS works all the time on the device or its turned on once called by an application..?

it goes to sleep if it is idle for 1 second. ie if no application calls it for 1 second. i changed mine to 2 seconds. because i think most applications (even microsoft's intermediate GPS driver) updates or calls GPS hardware every 1 second, so i dodn't want the darn thing to go sleep on me

using registry editor of your choice:
HKLM->system->currentcontrolset->GPSIntermediate Driver->Drivers-> "SleepOnNoData" (in milliseconds)
GPS Intermediate Driver is the Microsoft's GPS (the bridge between the application and the hardware GPS).
you can also play around with gps input/output buffer.
and gps polling interval, by going one level deeper to GPSOneDevice.
I wrote up a nice summary on another site on GPS and GPS application lag, but can't find it anymore, and don't want to write another essay again

GPS problems
Ok so I have a North American GSM x9501...
Never used the GPS (Telenav isn't available to Canadian residense). This device is unlocked and NOT purchased from Rogers...
Downloaded Google maps, tried to use GPS and it wouldn't work. Set the settings manually Com4 57600 baud... It says searching for satalites, and has some HUGE number (54357734578) in brackets... GPS doesn't work.
Installed the HTC GPS tool, looks like GPS data is coming in, but can't get a fix. Then tried to use GPSgate, and it says GPS data is coming in but cannot get fix. Both of these two apps can't find any satalites.
Does anyone know what is up?

yep, go out in middle of a field or open Terrace or any place where you can see the sky above you head directly and then start google maps with GPS or HTC GPS tool or GPS gate etc , wait 3-5 min and then it should have fix...
cheers
I've given is some time... Probably over 5 minutes...
It's just odd, I have lots of experiencing using GPS software and devices. It looks like it should be working, the only odd behaviour is:
1) It finds no satalites
and
2) Google Maps says "Seeking Satalites (3874732644)" which is odd, because theres not that many GPS satalites, lol.
Change the Baud Rate to 9600 and see whether it will work.
Tried different baud rates.
Yesterday I let it sit for 15 minutes on google maps until finally it said there was no reception...
And I know I have reception because I was outside. Both my TytN II and HP iPaq have no trouble aquiring fix's...
download free VISUALGPS CE and install. Then connect it to COM4 and press start.
See the NMEA log monitor section. You should see lot's of data, if not, your GPS might be bad.
I'm unsure if your 9501 will work with the ROM's we use in Europe to make calls, and have GPS enabled.. If it's OK, I would flash Thai Hugo's Age of Reason and check again your GPS.
I'm using the factory ROM for the X9501 (Which does support GPS off the bat).
I used the HTC tool, and it looked like NMEA data was going through...

On the HTC tool there is option to see the satellites , check if its has any satellites on red color, if so keep the shift out in terrace or garden until 3 satellite color changes to green , have patience....
if it does not show any satellite on the HTC tool then probably you need to flash the rom with some new rom from the forum ..
Before you do that make a copy of your Stock/original rom ..see forum for instruction
PS: Since you have the stock / orginal rom X9501....would you do me a favour and check if you connect to head set and on Windows mobile side WM6, can you record a message and then play back and you can hear your self back .... I wanted to know if the mic works with head set on WM6 side...for the Stock 9501 ROM.
Cheers.

if so , can try to dump/export the registry settings for HKLocalMachine (HKLM) to a xml ot reg file and then copy / upload the xml/reg file here .
we want to use head set with X9500 shift and are trying to find a solution , may be its a reg setting that can fix the problem.

What software are you using? you may get a faster answer if you mention it
i dont think you can calibrate GPS..
you updated quickfix?
thanks for your answers, I'm using Garmin XT and google maps, then I don't think it is the software.
quickfix? sorry I don't know what is it, I will check now
ahh quickfix is the same as quickgps, yes I'm using it!
Does it just happen lately? Maybe hard resetting would help.
thanks but not really.
well I have my HD for already 6 month but I just start trying the GPS in the last 2 weeks, because I'm in China and was difficult to find a good GPS software for Asia, but I hard reset it couple of times since I start using it.
It might be a hardware issue. You may send it to a distributor center to check.
I was hoping it was not a hardware problem, because it always shows me like 250m to the south west, it's not a random problem.
any idea?
thanks!!
It's very difficult for the GPS "engine" itself to consistently report a position with such a fixed error.
I once saw a similar sort of error when I was using some GPS software which had the MAP DATUM set incorrectly.
Is it possible to change this setting on your software ?
Good luck,
- Steve

Hi, sirrick1.
Nothing wrong with your GPS hardware/Software.
As required by Chinese goverment, all GPS map data should be added a deviation. ie. if you want to use a GPS coodirates that get from GPS hardware directly to locate where you are in map, you may find location is shifted.
Anyway, you can get more information from chinese gps forums.

i tot from history there was a air incident caused by purposely inaccurate GPS and the authorities ( not talking about china ) decide to not hamper the raw signals..
btw from what i know of GPS, you are caculating based from a few sats in space.. so is it possible in maths to get constant SW 250 results? not sure ... i am not a mathy.. anyone?

The shift algorithm is a goverment secret, and the shift value is diffrent in one area from another.
So, it is hard to get/infer the exactly algorithm. So far as I know, the only succeful method to "correct" map coordinate is table look-up that is can get relative "real" values.
it's caused by the MAP it Self
not hardware or the software
May not be due to your GPS hardware.
I have the same problem with my MapKing Navi software, it's off by about 20m. I know it's the software problem, was the same on my iPaq previously. So you may want to find out if your software has the same problem on a device of a different brand.
in china the map are offset by 250m by government for unclear reason, on garmin you need to apply a patch to fix it, what's not clear it's google map, min is working well.
well I tried the patch, which is only a file (006B082300.bin) which must be copied to the folder containing the map, but the problem reminds!!
anyone has success on this?
I had similar problem on motorola a1000 running SmartcomGps, which uses maps in .ogf format. I have great maps made by army cartographers, calibrated precisely, and gps device kept missing position by 100 meters. I also thought that is army's stupid trick in case enemy obtain maps to be deliberately inaccurate. Tried recalibration, succeeded, but still not satisfied, kept googling for days and finally found the solution: on calibration, all maps are assigned with datum WGS84 by default. Changed it to Eastern Europe and bang! - device is locking position dead accurately.
Try this:
Start program, load map, then tap Map/Calibrate/Settings/Map Datum. Choose datum "South Asia" or "Hu-Tzu-Shan" or any other you might think is for your part of China. Try it, if it doesn't work properly then try some other one and do so untill you find proper one. Don't waste your time (and risk screwing something up) with patches, flashing different ROMs etc. Both your hardware and software are OK, just need correct setting.

Most PDA GPS's do not turn on automatically by themselves unless instructed or invoked by a software application. I have not looked carefully at my Jade clone's SIRF's specifications but most GPS under ideal situations can take as little as 42 seconds when warmed up to get four satellites to lock on to. Four satellites are necessary in most sytems are necessary for 3D satellite navigation (satnav or GPS).
What are ideal situations? Glad you asked. Basically, one of the most critical needs for a GPS is accurate time. This is the first item that must be sync'ed by satellites. To use a gross example, let's say your clock is off 60 minutes. In a car that could equate to roughly 60 miles. Satellites need accurate time because when they begin to sync, they will compute what satellites are available to sync with your GPS. Just like the sun, moon and stars are only in the sky at moving intervals of time, only a fixed amount of satellites are overhead at any given time.
Once your GPS begins to sync, ephemeris data (which satellites and the times they are overhead) is transmitted to your GPS. When combined with accurate time, the resolution of where your receiving GPS becomes easier.
The next critical issue is where does your GPS think it is. If the GPS was last turned on at the factory (testing), then it will store that location as its last known position. Guess what? If you're in Paris, France and your GPS was made in Malaysia, your last known position known now as initial positon to the satellites will tell them based upon time to use satellites in the Asian area to compute your satnav position. A GPS without a good initial position will make it difficult for satellites to accurately determine your location which could now takes a minimum of four minutes as long as ten minutes and maybe even hours.
Finally, where is your GPS physically located? In ideal conditions, it is outside with clear sky overhead in a stationary location. It's easier to shoot a sitting duck; a moving target or a GPS on the go complicates all the issues of time, location and signal acquisiton.
To help you, I recommend you download a small cab file that be used in your Today screen. It is aptly called "GPS Toggle". In essence, like a mechanic warming up your car prior to you driving it on a cold day, this plug-in "warms up" your GPS for you prior to needing it.
There is one thing you need to do to help your GPS - it is best for WM to manage it (a recommended feature from Microsoft). Go to the Settings tab, External GPS (why it is called that on my Settings tab is beyond me). Then click through the screens to have WM manage the GPS. On one tab you will asked to choose a Port from which all your programs will access data. You need to use an unused Port. I recommend Port 9 but that is up to you.
The reason for doing this is if WM manages the data, it will keep the GPS on and provide the resolved info to all applications. If the programs managed the GPS, they could selectively turn on and off the GPS and also block each other from using the GPS. You don't want that to happen. That is why MS recommends WM manage the data.
GPS toggle, when installed on your Today screen, will have an ON/OFF switch. When you turn it on, it will on the same line tell you how many satellites it has found and when it has sync'ed with them. When you see that four satellites are in the green (meaning your GPS is found ready for 3D satnav), then you can use satnav program of your choice.
The GPS uses battery power and supposedly is a big drain on smartphones. You want to turn it off and on only as necessary. Hope this helps (it's sticky stuff good info)!

I went through the posts - I guess even I have landed up with a cloned HTC Touch 3G. Wonder what the drawbacks are. Somehow after a lot of tinkering I have been able to get my GPS to work (yes it has a built in GPS antenna) and it's accurate!
I set the hardware to COM 3, baud rate 4800
application to COM 0
In Google maps>options>GPS settings>manual settings (COM0 baud rate 4800)
IT WORKED!!
The WiFi can't be turned on with TouchFlo. Anybody has a solution to that?
