I have tried it several ways but I cant get TT7 to find my internal GPS antenna.
I cant find alot about this problem on google either.
The google maps installed on it finds the GPS and uses it, but TT7 and other nav software cant find it.
Anyone has any suggestions?
Perhaps you will need a 3rd party program to re-route the GPS information from the chip to TT7. GPS Gate does this. I haven't used TT7 on the HD just yet, so I can't give you any other information, sorry.

I think you are right. I had this problem too. The fix was to load NoniGPS and go to the advanced setup page, choose Com4 and your preferred data rate, save it. Switch to the home screen without closing the app then load TT7, it should lock on the satellites now. That worked for me and I haven't had the issue since. If you change TomTom versions again, the problem can come back.

TTN7 shouldnt need this. Have you gone in an checked the configuration within tomtom. Using the setting "internal gps" works fine, however you could also manually configure to com4 and 9600 baud.
have you at any point played around with "external gps" settings on the device?
to be honest yes I have been playing around with "external GPS", and later on I saw a warning on this forum that could mess up your GPS settings.
I will try the other advises and if not a hard reset and start over and see how it turns out.
But I thank you all for the info, I keep you posted on the progress

Did you try doing a reset with the red button behind the cover instead of long press on button? Too easy I know, just checking.
Oke I fixed it, and yes I did it with a Hard Reset. It seems that "External GPS" screws up all your settings, havent touched it since the reset installed TT7 again and it works perfect.
So to all new users of Touch HD, DO NOT USE "EXTERNAL GPS"!!!
If you did and TT7 cant find your GPS device, use the "Hard Reset" to regain control over your GPS device.
Hi all,
firstly the software situation:
I have an HTC Touch Diamond2 wit a german Vodafone branding. Last week i installed the new official upgrade for german Vodafone devices - ROM version 2.16.162.1 HTC Touch Diamond2 (Voda_ DE).
With the old ROM and WM Version i didn't have this problem. Now - with every start of my TomTom Navigator after about 10 seconds a data connection is started. If there's wifi around - wifi, if not - mobile service. When i switch off the connection it stops and for some minutes - until i turn off the navigator it remains switched off. I haven't tested if during some time of the navigation it is turned on again.
In other discussions other users (with other navigation software) have also affirmed, that they also get an unwanted data connection.
Since then i have tried everything that i could think of. I looked over every setting in the TomTom software. Tried over TomTom Home. Tried reinstalling TomTom. Tried resetting to factory settings of TomTom. Nothing helped.
I then made a couple of hardresets of the device and i formatted the memory card also a couple of times. I then installed everything fresh - still demands data connection.
I then tracked the connections with a trafficmonitor software - one time wifi connection, one time mobile service ceonnection.
Looks like this:
WiFi:
system : 3.5 K
WZCSVC.dll : 1.2 K
mobile connection:
system: 1.2 K
WZCSVC.dll is Wireless Zero Configuration Service and i can at least understand why it is making traffic, since wifi is in use.
What is "system"?
Also - why more traffic for "system" with wifi than with mobile connection?
Yesterday i also tracked the connection and there was another .dll service which name i unluckily didn't mark. But it was gps*something*.dll.??
Could AGPS or Quick-GPS have something to do with this behaviour? Or the My Location service? I disabled and declined every setting that i could discover for those services, but i may have overlooked something?
Any ideas?
Please HELP!
Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Problem solved (looks like it at least).
After installing HD Tweak and disabling A-GPS no data connection starts with starting the navigator.
Glad you solved your issue, but let me witness that in my case (i have A-GPS ON) when i use tomtom (7.916.9189) no data connection is going on. Anyway,just to be sure to keep your problem under control, i advice you to check also the weather update settings.

If you mean the two options which appear directly when the HTC Sence Weather Tab is opened - "update weather automatically" and "update with roaming" - i've checked them many times - they are off. If there is another setting where they can be adjusted i would appreciate it if you told me where and how. But i don't think this is it. Unless TomTom Weather is doing this.
But as i mentiones - there was a gps*something*.dll file, that caused the data transfer - that's why i thought it is something GPS related.
But I wouldn't mind to use another solution because now i think my gps signal is not that strong (at least in buildings).
Do you have 6.5 also? I don't think it could be a ROM thing?

As far as i could test it it makes the connection just once after starting the navigation. It doesn't keep pulling data the whole time. If it does it the whole time during a navigation - i don't know, haven't tested it.
But you can at least test it quickly before travelling - navigation on - status check. If something's moving - you have a problem.
There is one simple solution - you can either disable all automatic connection types - then you would't be able to surf the internet. In my case i didn't want to have to disable everything and/or to enable it by hand every time i use the navigator.
Or you can install HD Tweak and disable A-GPS. It's really very easy.

Thanks. I installed that and it seems that A-GPS is disabled by default. And it doesn't seem to get switched on by TTN7. Now I can wander the streets of Amsterdam without a worry

Without A-GPS enabled make sure you don't enter the wrong coffeeshop!!
By the way..Also TD2 Tools and Tom's Topaz Setting Tool can enable/disable A-GPS and are more specific for our devices...your choice...and have a nice trip

Hi,
have you tested HD Tweak? I'm just asking for comparison reasons. I used it just because someone said it worked.
If the other two are more suitable for the Topaz i would of course prefer them. Is there "a better one" comparing the two?
P.S. Following question just entered my mind. If i uninstall the other tweak software what happens with the changes i made with it. I mean i guess it changes values in the registry so that the settings are changed? I suppose everything will stay as the software "left" it before being uninstalled?
I use HDTweak to increase overall sound volume only. I had it installed for months in a previous config and I was quite happy with it, but the specific tweak apps look more friendly to me. I guess that if you uninstall hdtweak without restoring the default settings you will keep the tweaks applied..at your own risk
I've had the imagio for about 2 weeks not. and can't get the GPS to work. I've tried every reg edit I can't find. Tried useing GPSID.dll rather then GPSID_HTC.dll. I tried installing the GPSModDrivers. Ran QuickGPS. Done Hard resets and half a dozen flashes. Nothing. The only program that works in Verizon's VZ Nav. TomTom, Google maps, Bing never get any sat lock. I'd say it was my phone but my dad's and the floor model at our Verizon store all have the same problems. The guy at Verizon said it was an issue with a lot of them and HTC was working on an updated rom for it. But that could be crap. Any ideas?
You probably have a faulty unit - my GPS always locks pretty quickly.
Agreed. My GPS works flawlessly. I use it all the time with TrackMe.
Never had the first problem with the GPS , works great with Google and Bing maps. Yours Dad's phone must be defective , swap it out for a new one.
Just wondering...
Start/Settings/System/External GPS on Access tab, did you marked
"Manage GPS atomatically (recommended)
If you don't do this, have you tried setting the Com Port Manually? I have a felling that if VZ works that is just a configuration issue.
As a last resource, you could use a terminal program like Token2Shell Mobile (free 30 Trial) to read the Com port "Usually Com4" and 4800 Baud and check the NMEA string coming in, here is a example from mine.

Sorry for the double post working from device.
Keep in mind that some of the things you may have installed to correct the issue may have negatively affect registry settings, sync your contacts and do a hard reset on the device. And do not set up VZ nav when you bring it up.
Then do this:
Install Google maps
Make Sure your Location Setting is "on" in the phone settings. If it is on then toggle it to "911" hit okay on upper right corner then go back into it and toggle it back on and hit okay.
Soft Reset and let boat up completely
Open Google Maps And make sure USE GPS is not checked.
Click "X" in top corner to let it run in the background
Run Quick GPS and select "Download"
Open Google Maps again and select "USE GPS" make sure you have a clear view of the sky and it should take less than one minute to lock
Sometimes a soft reset is required to get a gps lock.
Actually, It is a known issue with the particular gpsone chipset. It's an issue with location caching with agps, but this phone comes stock with agps disabled. However, I have not heard that many complaints on this forum, of course not everybody uses gps. If you soft reset before you try and use you shouldn't have issues. Trust me this is my third HTC touch series phone with this issue (diamond, touch pro, imagio). With my imagio it suddenly stopped having this issue, wierd. I used to use a program called HTC gps tool on my touch pro that would clear the cache for you without having to soft reset each time you might want to do some searching, not sure if it works with wvga screens.

I concur if it was a hardware issue VZ nav wouldn't work.
Sweeny Russ:
I being looking for a program to manage the GPS chipset, I use many kinds of GPS devices for work and it would be the first time I see a GPS device I can't program/manage. Gpsone chipset is the GPS on board device? Do you have a link for this HTC GPS program? I wonder if I can actually program with it...worth asking
One of my friends had the same problem as you mentioned. I asked him to do a hard reset and after a HR, the GPS has been working smoothly. Please try a HR!
I have no complain about my Imagio's GPS because it works much more than I expected. I can get 7-8 sattelites fixed in house, near the window where my old phone Touch HD could not fix any sattlelite.
I'm about to try bastukee suggestion. Giakhoa are you saying do a hard reset after a hard reset?

Let me know how this pans out. I haven't used this new version but it will allow you to play around with some setting my gps locks instantly so I'm not going to mess with it I just now it works on vga, you might need a screen rotate app to read all settings.
Original Post where I found it is here
Sweeny, Program works nice. it's an easier way to see the data then the program bastukee gave me. But sadly I don't know what half the options do and it still gives me the same date I posted in #12. Thoughts anyone?
That's exactly what you would get when satelites are not being seen, in fact you can't even see a Clock. Once I finish this 3 day trip to India and settle I will try that program and see how my settings look like and post screenies. "I'm a zombie atm"
Thanks for the help. I'm going crazy trying to get this to work.

Hi folks,
I encountered problems with the location service of the Omnia7.
At first, A-GPS is working very rarely -most of the time I don't get a location until the real GPS finds a signal (that means I get no location indoors).
Second, the GPS doesn't find the right location. In 9 out of 10 tries, the GPS thinks I am somewhere in the Czech Republic (which is about 600km away). This bug occurs in Bing Maps as well as in WeatherBug.
Very rarely I get the right location but most of the times it's completely off -but it's always the same "off", so I think there must be something wrong with the GPS module or the software.
So I can't use the phone to navigate or as a sports tracker.
I wrote the Samsung Support today, hope they have an answer.
I hope for you guys to confirm or deny this issues.

Used bing maps few times already and never got a problem with them.
My wifes omnia is getting fix in about 2minutes still or even 10 when I am on the move.
Omnia on the other hand is getting my location very quickly (I have location turned on). Last time on halloween noght we were lost at some suburban area and my phone get us from there very accurately. I could see us moving like on proper sat nav application. I know we have to wait a little bit for nice TomTom or iGo.
Second hard situation, I got my location today at work (under roof) where HTC HD was getting signal only standing close to window. It is ok for now if u ask me.
No Problems Here...
Hi there,
I am getting "room level" accuracy all the time. If I am at home in the bedroom, Bing maps on maximum zoom in shows me in the bedroom. If I am on the other side of the house in the living room, it shows me in the living room.
Seems perfect to me.
Cheers,
Pete
Thanks for your replies...
...the strange thing is, it seems to be working now (for 1 day it's fine). I have played around with the Diagnostics menu (GPS-settings) and since that it's okay as expected. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I hope it's staying like this.
I also have problems with my Omnia 7 : the map is very imprecise (the gps apps indicate a 3000m precision) so I think it doesn't manage to get a fix and use 3G triangulation instead. I tried waiting for about 30 minutes outside, but nothing changed. The weird part is that it started working at same point, for a few days, and then broke again. I have no clue about what's happening.
I'm pretty sure I had those problems before discovering the diagnosis menu, but in case I tweaked something I shouldn't have, can someone (with a working gps) give me his settings ?
The "Test Mode" menu can be called by dialing *#1575# in the diagnosis app. Then there's three options in the "Change state" menu.
Thanks in advance.
