for those who don’t like to switch between there language and tx9 and prefer to switch between there language and English (abc) you can disable the priority of the tx9 by installing this cab

thanks man!
what abouit igo 2008. r u using it ? mine still cannot detect satelites
I'm sorry to say we don’t have igo 8 yet
any way I cannot say I have tried it myself
but from what I have heard if you go to your device program file/igo 8 you will find a sys.txt
add these lines to what you already have there in the txt using your home pc then the program will work
pleas note that you need to have one line blank before adding
[gps]
port=6
baud=57600
set_messages=0
pleas edit the text and report
good luck

you are defiantly right
working with msn (EREZYAD) using EQO
I’m happy to here about your results
now when I will have the software I'm shore to know how to make it work
hmm I managed to start it jsut 2 times (igo2008) -> i mean the gps signal
from that time on, it stopped detectig sattelites
it's so stupid. I will try for a change with igo2006 and keep u updated.
are there any twaks that I can make to work better with my GPS/ sattelites as I don;'t have quick gps ?
can I get quick gps and install/configure from a another WM6 device ? (a friend has here a HTC touch cruise, everything works fine for him with quick gps+igo2008 )
and, can I make registry tweaking or smf, so that everytime I write sms, I automaticlly have : ABC instead of T9 ?
thanks!

ok man I will try all again
maybe also hard reset the device and install everything again
thanks for your hlp !
...tried it yet
still nothig. I start to think that the problem is the space that I have outside the office. maybe its causing not to find the sattelites.
do you know what settings I need to have, in SETTINGS > EXTERNAL GPS ?
thanks!
Does anyone geo-tag their HD photos? I can't find a way to enable it in camera settings.
I had to download an app to enable it on my TyTNII.
Can't find anything by searching this forum or Googling
You can enable it with HDTweak, as far as i remember
Brilliant! Thanks
I have enabled the option in HD Tweak, and have even tried Shozu and locr, but even with a GPS lock, it doesn't seem to save the GPS data to the photo.
I'm using the Orange ROM, and don't really want to reflash it just to make this work with the hacked footprints tab, so has anyone got any ideas?
TIA
My problem is GPS doesn't start.
I've been using the free GPSToday (www.geoterrestrial.com) and their GeoTagger plugin which monitors your photo directory. When it sees a new file it tries to get a GPS fix and then embeds the location in the file. So far it's worked flawlessly.
Can you try uploading one of the photos it's tagged too google picasa to see if it can see the gps data and map the piccy please?
So far, these things tell me they are tagging them, but when you upload them, it's not tagged.
locr and shozu both work flawlessly on my N95, so I know the platforms and google picasa work.
I attached a GPS photo taken with my HD (bike trip with my girlfriend ) with the 'GPS-photo' option. I'm absolutly sure it has GPS info in it, because I upload all my pictures to Flickr, where they automaticly show up on the map at the right location. Good luck
*EDIT* When uploading a photo as attacment to the XDA forum, all GPS data is stripped. So here's a direct link to download the original file:
http://www.fittingmedia.nl/divers/GPS_011.jpg
Just tried uploading one of my photos tagged with GPSToday to PicasaWeb and it's recognised the GPS data perfectly. Here's the photo
http://picasaweb.google.com/apcd2apcd2/Desktop?authkey=Gv1sRgCLr5tdy08-bb9wE&feat=directlink
Very simple but you have to edit the registry.
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
and set the value of "Enable" to 1
Thank you'll find a new camera mode in the standard HTC camera program that is "GPS". It activates and deactivates the GPS automatically.
Enjoy
Do you guys want to have gps info on all photos or what? I didn't get the point.
Touch HD Camera has a "GPS Photo" mode..which can be selected manually by going in to "advance" options in the "camera mode" .
right clicking on the image on windowsXP and checking the image property doesn't show the GPS info..but if opened with any other viewer..XNview..lightroom..photoshop.. in EXIF data u can see the GPS info.
so please tell me whats the point of using tweakers to enable GPS tagging? or i'm missing somethig

Not on some stock ROM images, such as mine.
I personally choose to use it because when I share photos online, with things such as Picasa Web, it shows people on a map where the pictures were taken.
No real serious use for me, but it's a little more info for people, and you can also view public galleries and it will display all pictures taken in a certain area.
EDIT: OK I found the option, everywhere I looked and in PM's people were telling me to look in advanced settings for this, it's actually an option on the 2nd page of "Capture Mode" and not in settings, or an advanced tab at all. No wonder I couldn't see it lol.

The tweak is necessary to enable the GPS photo button in the advance tab when using a stock ROM
How long does it take for you to take a photo this way? Mine just says "starting gps" and nothing happens. I even tried waiting 3-4 minutes, the time it takes Garmin XT Mobile to get the gps signal here, but nothing.
i get the point now! i bought blackstone with a diff language than i'm using ..and installed cooked rom straightaway.. so i didn't know the diff(to the minor details) b/w a stock rom and a cooked one. Sorry for taking things as granted!
thnx ppl for the info!

It takes about 10 to 30 seconds, depending on where I'm standing. It indeed should take about the same time as Garmin.
But 3 to 4 minutes is a LONG time for any GPS app to get a fix... If you get that working right, GPS-Photo will probably work fine too.

- Well, offcourse the obvious. Try it outside, with no high buildings etc. around you and that sort of things.
- Then, try to update QuickGPS with new satelite info (makes a lot of difference).
- DISABLE AGps. Does more harm then good.
- Maybe try a different radio. I'm using 1.12 and get very quick GPS fixes. Faster then 1.9 and 1.10.
Let us know how it turns out!
Anyone know any thing new on any effort to port Footprints to Blackstone? all posts are a bit old. there's a standalone that sorta works on Blackstone but the resolution is wrong so text is misaligned and its not very usable. anyone made any headway at porting it to a tab or at least a usable standalone? It would REALLY rock if anyone could port it to an manila v3 tab!!! i'd donate for the effort. sure many would!

I can't do that cause i still don't know how to backup the original radio. I would like to backup everything i need for warranty sake. I posted a thread here, but got no answers. I know it's all been explained here, but it's just too confusing. I know how to backup ROM, but i need to know what else i need to backup an HOW, before i flash a new radio and ROM.
The current device info is:
ROM: 1.14.479.3 (25874) WWE
ROM DATE: 11/12/08
RADIO: 1.09.25.14

I did all you said, and nothing helped. However, i did notice this - i started Garmin, got a lock in a matter of seconds (after i did the fast GPS thing, so i'm guessing Garmin is using that), turned it off and geotagging worked instantly. So, i'm guessing camera has a problem using quick GPS or starting GPS by itself. Any ideas on this?
Needing help again from my fave community ....
Long story made short; I'm Italian but now live in Egypt, some of you may or may not know that Egypt prohibited any kind of gps map.
what I was looking for was a gps application that would tracK and\or record my route, to then reproduce it as if on a map ( turn left, right etc....)
Is there any app (maybe tomtom or igo or garmin ) capable of doing this.
I searched and found a prog called trackr! but 1 its format is .gpx (not compatible with tomtom for ex.) plus it does part of the job online !
thnx in advance everybody !
EDIT: I read around and it seems igo can record ur route and of course guide u back through it...yet it won't launch without a map, is there a base map of africa for example ? , i really know there is no egypt map, i just want to record my "offroad" routes!
You can get fitness apps that will track where you run or cycle via gps (cant remember names off the top of my head just now sorry) they track where you run/walk/cycle and I guess go by car (?)... not sure if they are what you are after but sounds like it might be...
thnx for the reply...really don't know if that will help cause actually i don't know if those will give any kind of "voice" assistance like a standard gps ....again thnx
Hi,
I was looking for GPS Software a couple of month ago. I needed a tool for tracking and calibrating an image (maps, pics and so on). So you can scan a paper map and bulid your own map.
I only found one program. It called GLOPUS. (www.glopus.de) But it is only aviable in german. But it hasn't got any voice command or navigation function. It just shows the route on the selfmade map and other POI (if you have the coordinates).
Bye
donpepe23
wow....pity it's in german cause that sounds gr8...thought yet far from what i need, i'm sure somewhere there is a program that would just track my route to a place and guide me back to it
I tried another app "trackme" I think maybe this is what i need but its not working, it gives a net framework error though i', on touch-it 4.1 rc1 rom which has it pre-installed !!
I dont think it will be trouble if I use my X1 with Garmin in Egypt... do you??
Lots of friends from Egypt are getting thier Mobiles from outside because of the stupid GPS ban... I dont get it why is it banned there while I can still see everything on google maps!
no it will not be trouble, but u'll find no maps ...that's the whole point ....i really don't get why their banning it, that's not my problem, i just want to have fun with my gps !!
Hi there,
got a prob with QuickGPS and TomTom.
First TomTom says "no gps device" (or something like that - I use the german one). Tried everything, without success.
Then I tried to update QuickGPS. Download starts, but "crashes" before reaching 100%. Tried a lot, even via ActiveSync etc etc.
So I tried some QuickGPS Cab File from somewhere on the web. Installed it, tried to start it, without success, as it is not signatured digitally.
So deinstallation of this version, and now even the old one is lost.
My question:
1. Can anyone supply me with the official QuickGPS CAB of the latest official ROM (2.32...)
2. Can anyone supply me with the certain reg-info?
Thx in advance! About to face a hard reset - but not willing to...
I would advice you just to redo the last firmware.
You will be getting your Quickgps back.
There might be someone on here with a better idea, but most likelly you will be ending up with hard resetting anyway.
Doing it right now. Somehow this problem seems to be a pretty common one, but noone in all those forums ever placed a working solution. Bad luck, as I have had a lot of tools setup pretty well... But hey, thats windows!
What version of TomTom do you have? If tomtom says no device then you have to check your port(4) and baud(4800) settings and make sure you use the internal gps.
I had the same problem but
Mine is a HTC clone... I had the same problmes .
Quick GPS does not work at all at the clone, since they use another gps
( Hardware). But i got tom tom running using in the configuration the Bluetooth device on com port 3 , with 9600 .
There was a alternative Software for quick GPS, but, i am sorry, i forgot the name. Google may help.

Hello guys,
since i have Android on my phone (first i had SD solutions, now i got the NAND solution),
i can't access my GPS (phone finds no satelite).
I was wondering why this happens to my phone, since others have no problem.
But ok, i searched a bit in this forum and i found that the solution might be to edit the GPS settings to port com4 and 256000 rate.
I was also looking how i can change this, but i found nothing.
Can you help me?
Information about my phone:
HTC HD2 (Ger)
Radio 2.15.50.14
Android 2.3.1 (NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.0 NAND)
Maybe you know a better solution than changing GPS settings,
but thats what i want to try now, if i knew where i have to do this.
Thank you.

My GPS is working, really, not just getting a fix from A-GPS. You can see what i am using in my sig.
My nav program is working - navigating, though i must say the program itself is much worse than in what i used in WinMo.
So, what is the problem?
I know at least 2 more builds with a working GPS that i've tested myself.
I just know that i had to edit my com Port and my baudrate at windows mobile also.
Maybe i have a strange version, i dont know. But i know the normal win mo hadnt a working gps for me too, so i had to edit it on my own.
Thats what i wanna do now on Android, but i can't find the settings.

I really doubt this will help, but why don't you check the settings of your nav program for this edit.
I don't know where to edit the system in android for these settings, sorry.
There is a fix with editing gps.conf file and it actualy worked for me, it downloads A-GPS data
why don't you try this and then move to the harder part?
1. Use file explorer capable of editing system files to edit the file /system/etc/gps.conf (I use Root Explorer but unfortunately this is paid software; not tried with free version of Astro or ES, and it is possible that they can work too.)
2. Make sure that the bit after "NTP_SERVER=" goes with your location. I believe that as provided, it's "north-america.pool.ntp.org". If you live outside North America, as I do, edit to the appropriate server--as listed at the NTP POOL PROJECT (google for that).
and get GPS Status to reset the GPS itself, this might help!?
Thank you,
but there are no changes.
GPS Status shows 0 for both and another Tool (GPS Fix) trys to locate me, but also can't do it.
I got same trouble.
May be it deal with hd2 version - I got tmobile tmous.
I try many roms (desire hd port, 2.3 and 2.2 other ver.) - same trouble, gps status program can not see satelites.

Hi IMS1407
what a hazzle that was.
I have an HTC HD2 / Leo that i purchased a year ago. I started playing with Android about a month ago and have successfully installed several nand from Froyo and Gingerbread. With all of them i had the GPS problem not being able to see any satelites. I purchased GPS Doctor and tried some other so called GPS Fixes, but NONE of them worked. I finally came accross your post and tried the editing of the gps.conf file. I got me Root Explorer and edited the gps.conf file by simply adding below the line
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.asia.pool.ntp.org
I saved the file and God and Behold I had a Fix within seconds verified by GPS Aids and GPS Status APP.
again thanks alot .....

try to update to newer gps libraries, might work.
I also have a gps problem with my hd2 t-mobile but it doesn't have anything to do with gingerbread. Specifically, if the phone get a little warm, gps stops responding. I don't get any errors like not finding the gps but no satellites. Problem exists in NexusHD 4.0.4 which I'm running from native sd and in windows mobile. if I reboot the phone and go straight to wm and run a gps test no satellites. If I shut down the phone and turn it on immediately no satellites. If I shutdown and let it cool down or force it to cool down (lay in on an Icepack) It works (until it warms up again) than nothing. If I cool it down without restarting (lay it on the icepack) it doesn't come back. I already suspect the worst but still asking. In any case I've got a globalsat external bluetooth gps which is far more accurate than the internal gps I was just hoping on avoiding using it in inconvinient situations. I currently have two hd2's one of which is a t-mobile and I don't think I'm going to go in the HTC direction again. Samsung seems to be looking good.
