Compass troubles - HD2 General

Hi All,
I have been flashing a few custom roms to my HD2 and have noticed none of them enable the compass to work.. I have used the following cooked roms and wondered if this was a common issue ..
Artemis_v25_WWE_202_23518
EnergyROM_21889_Leo_21.Jan.2010_StandardM2.5_MaxManila
EnergyROM_23518_Leo_21.Jan.2010_StandardM2.5_MaxManila
Kwbr_Topix_1.1.7
RUU_Leo_l3v5y_09123001_F_WWE_5.2.28014.5.5.0_2.01
XT_Pandora_1_3B
I first noticed this issue when using the excellent EnergyROM_23518 and figured it was a fault with that .. It seemed not to be .. Right now im downloading the stock 1.43 O2 rom that came on my HD2 to see if this resolves the issue ..
Curious though if this is a common problem seen buy many or if this is something i have lingering from all the flashing i have done ..
Cheers !
EDIT :- I have flashed the stock 1.43 O2 rom to the HD2 and i still have a non working compass.. Magnetic interferance error .. Whats up ?
EDIT2 :- Only difference i can think of is i have an HSPL installed, matter ?

i have installed the MIRI ROM and my compass is working. however when i click to "set destination" it says google maps is not installed. however i have installed googlemaps but somehow the compass does not detect that i have installed google maps.
any workaround to fix this issue.??

Hey, thanks for the tip on Miri, the compass does indeed work .. Now to get it to work propperly i had to install Google Maps cab, it was not installed on this rom out of the box ..
search for googlemaps.cab either here or on google (i tried to post direct link but it seems im not allowed (yet?)
I also installed the BsBTweaks1.6.cab and set it to allowed unsigned applications to run, i did this before i discovered Google Maps was not installed..
now its fine, i can set destination no probs ..
EDIT:- Oops see you installed googlemaps, try a soft reset if that fails trythe unsigned app change..

Googlemaps must be installed to device memory not the storage card for that to work.

igo8/2006 doesn't work

hello,
can anyone tell me hoe to get igo8 to work ?
i've installed it, but it doesn't start ..
i've tried igo2006 but it doesn't work aswell..
i can't get them to start at all...
thanks
...
hello, in my jade igo 2008 perfectly. Have you configured it?.
i don't know how..
i've copied the 2277 and igo folders to my card, run the autorun, and copied the crack to the jade..
what else must i do ?
thanks.
You have to try more versions, for me running 8.0.0.49545 and 8.3.1.xxxxx, but I have problem with fixing satellites, it is periodically fixed and unfixed in 1 sec period... Only sometimes fixed ok :-(
i don't think it's a version problem, because igo 2006 does the same thing..
i don't know how to configure them...
can anyone tell me what i have to do after i've installed the programs ?
Igo2006 nor running under wm6.1, some patch exists, but I didn't try them. I never install Igo, only copy it to sd card, you have check the right path in sys.txt
[folders]
app="Internal Storage/iGO8"
i've tried that, still doesn't work..
Victor, what version of iGO8 are you trying to run. Version 8.0.0.49545 is definately working on my Jade with only one major caveat: switching off the display (by pressing the top button) causes communication failure with the GPS and requires a restart of iGO8 in order to rediscover the GPS.
thanx a lot for your help..
i finally managed to crack it , and it works just fine..
@victorpagu May be you had problems with licenses?
Maybe you should read more than 5 words... And with this patch running only Igo2006+
Work! Attached the pictures.
I got igo8 to work..
I don't know what the problem was..Probably the license or the data archive..
Thanks for your help !
And you sure it is Igo2006, not 2006+? I test patched Igo and working, but it is latest Igo 2006+ with new developed patch for Diamond due to wm6.1!
Alekss_UH, how did you solve fix and an unfix problem with GPS each second?
I have TT v7.9 and iGO 8.3.1.57021 and both have the same problem with GPS in my JADE.
Don't know how to solve...

No connection with internal GPS

Hi
During my holidays the internal gps stopped working on my Touch HD. I was using Duttys 6.5 R5 at that time. I noticed this when I wanted to start a tool called GPSed again after some days of not using it (before that, it worked fine and never had problems with connecting or synchronizing). Any tool that use the GPS was not able to connect to the GPS anymore. I tried soft resetting and a hard resetting the phone. All the different programs were able to connect and lock to a GPS signal pretty fast without any problem before.
Now I'm on Duttys 6.5 Leo 2 (flashed the phone yesterday) and there's still no sign of life from the internal GPS. I've used a number of programs to check (GPS Test, HTC GPS tool, google maps, tomtom) to see if any of these programs was able to connect. Non of the programs is able to connect via any com ports (com0 to com9).
Has anybody experienced or heard about similar problems where the internal GPS module just died?
Before I give up and assume that the GPS hardware module is simply broken, is there any way that I can check if the interal GPS is enabled/disabled (for as far as this is possible) or check if it is broken or not?
I've been googling like crazy, but so far I found no solution/advice.
Please advise!
[UPDATE]: I solved the problem by installing Duttys 6.5 Leo 3
Have you downloaded latest data using QuickGPS?
I had a similar problem with GPS on my touch HD. I didn't do a hard reset but I did do a soft reset which did not fix the problem. I used the HTC GPS tool to do a cold start of the GPS and this fixed it.
Hello, i had a similar problem after installing WM6 voip.
I read some post and i found that the problem was with dnsapi.dll in the direcory windows. Try to search in the forum.
I solved renaming this file in dnsapi_old.dll, you can try...after that reboot. If it does not work you can rename again and return to the initial state.

I have also tried to work with HTC GPS tool. But the tool is not able to find the GPS. So I cannot restart or log anything.

This I will have to look into. I have not installed any voip application, and I believe that Dutty also has not inserted any VOIP tool in the ROM that I used. With File Explorer on the phone I'm not able to find the dll file under \Windows\ (That's were it should be, isn't it?). Is it a hidden file?
It's good to know that some of you have had similar problems. That gives me a little bit of hope that I can get this fixed. Maybe I should flash my phone again but this time using a WM6.1 ROM.
Yes, dnsapi.dll is an hidden file you can see it with resco file explorer.
I don't know if your is the same problem...bat if you find the file you can try.

TomTom not working - crashes and reboots

I've used a fair few of this version: 7.918.9193 VGA and for each of them it installs ok but when using the program it will crash and reboot the phone anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes in.
I've deleted the Navigator folders before the next install and yet it still it crashes!
Any ideas? I only bought the phone cos I love TomTom! I'd be happy with an earlier version if needs be - I only need traffic and speed cams (which I have a subscription to) and I've called TomTom support so when I have the program stable I can hook them up through TomTom home.
Desperate for help here!
Cheers,
Joe
First of all what ROM & RADIO are you using? What other software is installed? It may be unlikely that these are the causes, but you never know.
Is TT7 installed on the phone or the SD card?
Have you ever had it running without a problem?
Have you tried redownloading TT7 from another source?
Have you tried a hard reset and then installing TT7?
Have you tried earlier versions of TT7 (ie 916 and the 917)?
Hi,
I've replied to the questions in line below in case it yields any ideas.
Two things also I'm wondering is:
1. Is it best to have it installed on main memory or SD?
2. I hear a lot about the quality and speed of SD card affecting the lag/performance of TT. What's the recommended size/speed/brand for an SD?
Cheers,
Joe

What other software is installed? It may be unlikely that these are the causes, but you never know. - Nothing at all, fresh flash
Is TT7 installed on the phone or the SD card? - Currently on SD card, but have had it on both.
Have you ever had it running without a problem? - Yes, temporarily yesterday (I only got the phone yesterday). I flashed with the above, installed TT, got my maps working (I've transferred them from my old Xperia X1) then tried tweaking the bif files and read only flags on it to make my traffic/cams subscription work - possible point of failure here but this technique worked well on the old versions of TT I used with the Xperia X1. If TT has introduced code changes which are deep then perhaps this caused the crashes/reboots?
Have you tried redownloading TT7 from another source? Yes, many flavours of the version being used. Some with the extra BT files, but on last install (which has been working for 30mins now) I used the version with the BT files removed.
Have you tried a hard reset and then installing TT7? Yes, reflashed last night and then used TT without BT files.
Have you tried earlier versions of TT7 (ie 916 and the 917)? Yes last night before the reflashing I tried a few versions all with the same effect.

Just to add that it crashed again, so whilst I wait for some advice from the forum members I've stripped back the map folder to not include traffic.dat and speed cam folders, uninstalled and reinstalled to main memory.
It asked if I wanted to set home location etc so it looks like a "proper" clean install this time, will let it run and see how it goes.

[Q] gps doesn't work

i don't know how this happened.
i did run android but after that i removed it and i installed a standard rom from the htc support site.
can it be that it's still affected by android or is this something else?
my hd mini says that he can find the internal gps receiver but can't find the satellites.
i got the program port on com 4, the hardware port off and the rate on 4800, so did i used the wrong port or wrong settings.
b.t.w. when i start up my phone it says tctrayapp.exe can not be opened. i don't know if that is necessary information,

try removing the sd card,format it,install the ROM again (better without the sd card in phone)
there are still some settings on card from android which doesnt let windows mobile to find satellites,this is a known problem...
"Known issues:
-GPS software in WM will not find satellites if you turn off GPS from location settings in Android "

i did formatted the sd card after i removed android but is it necessary to do it also with the overwriting program that i also needed to use before the android ROM.
thank you for your help

hmmm,then put on card android again,enable gps(instructions in my link),test on WM,and after u can delete android if u dont want it
i don't think that's the problem i formatted the sd and i did a hard reset and installed a new rom so i think it should be out of the system already.
i dont know if the settings of the ports depends if it's working or not or that tctrayapp what i mentioned before?
well...as i said this is a known issue,many had this problem and they solved it doing what i said above..if you know better then do it your way and don't ask us!

GPS not working

Was about to post this in the forum of the rom i used but seems I can't reply there.
So I'm gonne ask here.
I just installed this rom ( [ROM] CM9 4.0.4 ICS HTC HD Mini [16.Jul.2012] )
* I installed the rom
* ran the rom and rebooted in recovery
* installed the update
* ran the rom and rebooted in recovery
* installed gapps
* ran the rom and rebooted
* installed the gps update
* rebooted and ran
But seems it google maps can't find my gps.
Can anyone tell me how i could fix this?
Yes in WM6.5 i could download the gps sattelits trought wifi
I see solutions to turn on/off the gps and reboot back in wm and should be fixed , but i have android nand install and gps dont work there
Just for sure, Have selected GPS in settings?
You may know what you have to do in Location service, there is GPS that isn't selected..
Eum i think gps is enabled since i had to choose if it was the internal sensor or not in the settings.
Just doesn't find my location with google maps
You think or you have chose?
And how about try what you have said: "Yes in WM6.5 i could download the gps sattelits trought wifi" so by wifi you did, but Have you tried GPS without wifi? and do that exactly in Android.

So you should do in Android also,
You go to Location service in Settings, and select the Google Wifi improve GPS Searcher (something like that written). :fingers-crossed:
Still not working, still can't find gps location, when you click on the gps icon in googlemaps says 'waiting for location' the icon is in the upper left corner but doesn't find location.
Well, if you selected the (Google's location service) in Settings, and still not work.. then I don't know what to say..
The only thing I may say.. try other ROMs...
Seems to work now with wifi on android
Anyone know this rom has root access?
How do you say?
Root access is ready on almost ROMs for HTC HD Mini!
see and look at Superuser...
Cause i wanne remove like the default ringtones and can't remove system files, normally with root access your able to remove those files?
