GPS really works?

Hey folks!
I just bought a Trinity device couple weeks ago and after really looking throught these topics I yet didn't found a solution about my GPS.
My GPS is dead And I tried to do all what I found here and another internet forums but it doesn't work.
I checked my device and it already was in lastest HTC version, but for sure I update it again desesperately!
After testing it with some programs that work here ( Brazil! ): Destinator, Smart2go, Route66. It doesnt worked :/
So I thought... Maybe with WM6?
So I get this version: RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship
And after unlocking the CID and testing all the programs again... it YET didn't works!
For gods sake help me!
Maybe the steps above are very easy for some of you but this is my first PDA and Im kinda lost!
Well... thanks to everyone who read this and about the excellent manuals / programs you have here.
PS: Is there anyway to test if my GPS chips is working properly?

read people say that it's not the normal rom which
need to be upgraded for gps to work but the radiorom

I think this changes when you do the rom update. But post this info here could help you.
ROM version: 3.00.707.18
ROM date: 07/24/07
Radio version: 1.46.30.11
Protocol version: 32.79.7020.19H

Hey guys I found a program called: GPS Gate 2.0
He states me that my GPS is alive on COM9!
I will try to found the reason why the GPS programs aren't working and let you know. Problably it is directing to the wrong port.

Just for info,
GPS Gate worked fine and now I have GPS fully functional.
Thanks everybody

GPS symple curiosity
Tell us please how did you do it, I`m happy for you that you succede, but I`m new in town and i read everything and I`m also not lighty in this thing. Please help me to use my GPS thing. I still have WM 5.0, but I`m sure that must work, tell me how did you do it. Thanks a lot.

unlock GPS for Verzion xv6800 with stock Rom or with the MR1 rom.

First of all I would like thank Skywing for writing this GPS Application
Gateway for the xv6800 phone with stock rom or upgraded MR1 rom..
This thread is to show my thanks and to help new ppl like myself
find this app easer.. It took me about haft a day searching two forums
just to find what I was looking for .. so I hope this will help other
new ppl find what they are looking for much easer ..
Again this application was written by “Skywing” and someone wrote
the easy install CAB for his app .. also like thank “gc14“ for writing
the tutorial ..
This Application aGPS aka GPS Server aka (Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab)
Will allow your 100% stock rom or MR1 rom on your xv6800 Phone
to access GPS signal via 3rd party application e.g. MS Live search, Google maps etc..
without the need to unlock the phone or do anything to the phone other than
simply loading the GPSServer.cab file ..
For step-by-step install info. go to: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
To download the CAB go to: http://rapidshare.com/files/165096506/Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab
Show your thanks to Skywing, go to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387

I have personal testing this code on my xv6800 with stock ROM, then I
upgraded to the MR1 ROM from HTC for the xv6800 with WM 6.1 and
install the GPSServer.cab and it works perfect for both ROMs without
doing any unlocking or running anything else other then just the GPSServer.cab
BTW for anyone with the stock ROM running WM 6.0 and would like to
upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 .. you can download the MR1 ROM direly
from HTC
Again this is the, Verizon XV6800 ROM MR1
Release Date: 2008-08-23
go to: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=82&cat=2&dl_id=99
If this link does not work you may need to set your “country” first, (top right of the page “select country” set to “United States”

wow .. update: also found out that gc14 made the CAB file as well..
Thanks again gc14

Thanks! It works very good with Google Maps
Is your WIFI works with WM6.1? After I installed MR1, my WIFI is not working anymore. I hope you might be able to help me.
TIA

to all that created this thank you, works flawless on the stock mr2 rom

can't get it to work..
Hi all! I followed this method a while back and had Google maps working great for quite some time! This past weekend I tried to use it with GPS and it couldn't find any satellites. I figured it was maybe too much cloud cover or other interference related to my location. Anyhow, yesterday I updated my XV6800 to MR2, installed the latest Google maps (3.0.0.12) and still cannot get it to find any satellites. after playing with the COM ports and location setting (currently COM4 and Loc ON) without success I installed GPS Toggle, which also cannot find any satellites.
Anyone have any suggestions to get this working again? Does this even work with MR2? I'd be happy to go back to MR1, though MR2 seems to be a little smoother and faster.
Thanks!

Read the last couple of pages

thanks drewcam888. I'll check it out this afternoon and let you know how I make out.
BTW, I was looking around my device and I found a different version of gpsapi.dll (hidden) in the Windows directory. I'm thinking this may be the problem. It won't let me modify it though, as it's a system file. I can view it using SKTools, but not modify it.
Can you recommend a file manager program that'll let me move / copy / replace system files?
Thanks!

You can't modify a rom file or one that is created by the rom itself. Or at least I don't know how

Hello,
I'm pretty new here and new to the XV6800. I have a rom version that I downloaded from htc site that under device info reads 3.57.605.1 I don't know what MR1 or MR2 is or is mine an MR3?? Also I have a Radio version of 3.37.75?? My question is can I install this to get GPS or AGPS working on my device? Do I have to install a different radio to get it working?
Thanks,
Chris

Read the thread for a while that drewcam8888 lists above "adapter program to ......" and then make sure you change the registry settings as it describes for Valhalla in the posts from the past couple of days. I believe I posted #627 which has the places to edit for Valhalla. Listen to what others say to make sure you have everything right.

mine failed around the same time but using a different set of cab files which had worked flawlessly on both previous installs of MR1 . Is this perhaps something from verizon?....Anyway having not installed from a wrar file before how do you install the valhalla cab when the redirects disconnect from the server?

I have a xv6800 and i got it last week, the person that i got it from updated the rom. a couple days ago i cleared the storage, which i guess is a hard reset, but i wanted to know if that resets my Rom
thanks
Tyve

resets to a fresh install of your current rom. It removes all none rom files.

so do i hav to re-hack the rom to use google maps?
i have no idea wut im doing,
thanks

Yes you do

dang, that sux. thanks a bunch

my ROM version is 3.57.605.2 does anyone know if that is hacked or not?

Not it is stock verizon MR2

ok, do u know an easy way to hack it, im only 14 and i suk at hacking it

[Question] How to test GPS hardware...

Hi all,
suddenly my GPS is not working anymore. Can enable GPS and it says it is ok. But when i want use Google Maps, or navigation program the icon in taskbar is not there anymore.
Did try GPS Status, nothing....
Did a fresh rom install and wipe everything i can wipe.. nothing not working.
now i want to know is there a tool or adb option to test the hardware if this is still working.... (maybe GPS is broken)
Thanks

Did a RADIO rom flash with the one i already had on my HTC... and problem solved....
Still wondering how it can happen that maybe the radio rom was getting crazy...

had the same problem two days ago, same solution... same no idea for the cause

this kind of strange things was my idea only for windows... suddenly it is not working anymore.. But.. Solve this problem was mutch easier haha

This seems to happen whenever you flash a 2.1 ROM. Even going back to 1.5 doesn't fix the problem and a new radio flash is required.
Regards,
Dave

Test program
Try GPSTest from market.

Every now and then manufacturers like HTC will release an update to radio which controls your wifi, data, blutooth. If your current radio is having problems, you will need to update it. Most of the time new radio is included with the update but you can Google individual files as well, hope this explains

[Q] GPS freeze after few seconds...

hello all,
I have a problem when I run an application that uses GPS.
After a few seconds the phone freezes .
My config :
HTC HD2
Froyo Rom 2.3
hspl 2.08
Radio 2.15.50.14
Freezes with the software:
Navigation, GPS Test, Google Maps, Navionics, Copilot, etc...
I tried with other custom rom and same problem.
Could someone help me?
Thank you and sorry for my english

I have installed Energy rom and I have same problem...
If you are a good idea...
Thank's

Hi all,
Nobody can help me ?
Thank's

Nobody can help me ?

Have you checked your gps.conf file to make sure that it is set for your region? Many of the ROMs developed are either configured for North America or the region the developer is in. Can't tell by your moniker what region you are from. You will need some type of File Explorer program to edit the gps.conf file or use GPS Fix free from the Market. Also, you may want to search for Tytung's GPS v2.1 lib files that can be added to many ROMs for a quick and stable GPS lock. But I think the Energy ROM you tried has this already. So I suspect something is wrong with your gps.conf file.

Hello,
I have changed my radio rom (the last) by this one : 2.12.50.02_2
All is ok Gps don't freeze.
But I don't understand where was the problem...
Thank's

Glad to hear that you solved your issue. Strange that the latest radio v2.15.50xx was the cause. Many of us have that radio on board without any issues. But I am glad that going back to an earlier radio version solved your issue. I guess it could be the region you are in??

Hi,

Bye and Thank's
