Ive tried tomtom, nav4all and Igo and cant get any of them to pick up a satellite. They will all find my location or pretty close to though
Im using htc touch vogue, sprint with wm 6.1
I can get between 5 and 7 sat's using google maps, windows live search and sprint nav in about 10 seconds.
i have my phone set for comm4 and 4800 baud. under the "external gps icon". theres none for internal.
Igo has any auto detect and it just sits at "scanning communication ports" and automatically goes to port 9.... i set the ports myself in igo, try to find the gps and it still goes to port 9.
Anyone have any idea why i cant get any of the good gps programs to pick up a sat?
should i flash the rom again and start from scratch?
I also have iguidance as a primer..not to sure if its working. i click the icon and nothing happens.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
I use GPS Launcher and TomTom with absolutely no problems with your exact settings. I actually didn't change anything in the config on the PPC or in the TomTom app itself. Left everything on default settings.
Without the Primer installed and running first, it never seemed to work.
Your GPS seems to be working if you are getting Live and Google to run it...Don't think you should really need to re-install the ROM update.
Did you run your free 15day of Sprint Nav. Is that working like a champ?
Thanks for the reply
Sprint nav works perferctly...I would use it but im not paying the money they want. I would rather buy a puck..
Im using the primer. i click on it but nothing happens. not to sure if anything is supposed to launch though.. Pretty much new at all this.
Cant figure it out.... Everyone else that using this phone i read has the nav working. I dont know what else to do but to try and reload wm 6.1 and start from scratch.. dont really have anything special on my phone but #'s
One quick thought...
Should I unlock my phone???
Also, I have GPS launcher and that fails to detect as well...
at the "Qucik GPS can speed up the time for determining you gps satellite position via internet connection (such as gprs, activesync, etc.." i try to download and it fails right away. . After the 6.1 upgrade i cant connect to the internet with the data cable connected and i have no idea how to use my phone as a modem.

I definitely wasn't suggesting to buy the Sprint Nav. That's just silly...
Download the QVGA-Black Repack3, and the GPS Launcher.
This is currently configured to Prime the GPS and Launch TomTom; both of which are located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2439623&postcount=34
and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1862619&postcount=1
You shouldn't have any problems with these two.

OK....unlocked the phone. updated rom with OJ's custom..
Tried to install tomtom now my maps are screwed. its not asking me for the code to unlock. Anyone know where i can get maps for Mass to try?
Installed igo, of course it failed to pick up the sat.. but it will pick up my location and will give me a simulation of the route i have to take....sat is still crossed out!
No issues with live or google maps picking up my location
I dont f'n get it...Do i have the same phone eveyone else is using with these programs? Are people using a gps receiver ie;puck for this to work?
it says my phone is vogu100 under identity..
Rom ver: 3.03.651.4
Radio 3.42.30
Hey all, Thanks in advance for helping me out here.
I bought the X1 about 4 months ago, not knowing at all that it had a built in GPS in it lol I only discovered yesterday. so anyway, when I start google maps, and connect to the internet, and press on Use GPS, it shows that it's looking for GPS satellites, but it's always (0). it never finds one. now I've been told to use TomTom 7, with all the configurations for using it with the COM number and all that. I'm wondering if any of u would be kind enough to guide me through using my XPERIA'S GPS?? I would really appreciate it!!!
Hi,
Did you add an external GPS device at any time?
Make any changes to the settings for GPS in control panel at all?
Generally speaking, when you turn on google maps and select use GPS you should, after a short period, see the sats picked up (4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8).
If you have an unlimited data contract, using google maps in the UK shouldn't be an issue.
TomTom 6 or 7 are probably better though. You may need to configure tomtom to use the internal GPS.
However, check your settings in the first place to make sure you have the tick in the windows management of your gps device as that should make things work with little configuration.
Click Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> External GPS -> Access for that.
Make sure you have also run Quick GPS to update your location details.
You may also wish to run the SonyEricsson update utility to upgrade your ROM/Software on the device.
Des. . .
You may also wanna download Nadavi_HTC_GPS_TOOL.cab (search the forum).
It does help you to get a first fix, as you can start with diffrent options, e.g. with reset cache.
Maybe stupid q: did u use G. Maps outside (with open sky above)?
Same as me... but when you use GPS out of our building or house, you will pick up GPS very easily.
thanks!
hey guys! thanks for your help! well, I did some modifications on the external GPS thing, but then i installed that program, that allowed me to use it. i think it made automatic configurations or something. well, I don't have the internet contract, that's why I'm looking for a GPS application that will download the maps and never use internet again for GPS! any ideas? other than tomtom maybe? but anyway, you did some amazing work! thanks alot!!!
Hi to all
Can someone help me to fix gps on T-Mobile HD2 LEO.
When I try to use it it can't find ant satellites.
Is there any tools to test gps connections or something like that?
Regards
Are you using the stock ROM? If so, I would upgrade to a custom ROM...seems to have fixed it for alot of people.
HOLA!
hello
Well, i need some help with GPS... i am from argentina, sorry for my poor english.
I have the m6 version (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=927379)
First of all thanks for reading this message
I wanted to know if I could give a help with a problem I'm having.
Do not know how to run the GPS without data connection, no internet connection of any type,. ONLY GPS signal.
Is there any way to do this? All I want is that when you turn the map, I Acknowledge the place where I am, without using any data or connection or wifi or anything like that. (I must say that it works with wifi because I recognized the place where I am, but no wifi)
I wanted to know if there is any configuration that I can say, or some app that works the way I want, only with GPS ...
from now, a thousand thousand thousand thanks! many thanks friend!
A big hug!

You need to cache your map. Just search the map when on wifi and it will cache automatically. Then turn on GPS and wait for a sattelite lock.After that you should be using the map without any problems.
dont understund
do not really understand what I have to do ...
if I'm on the street and I have wifi I will not be able to use? I always use it without wifi before I have to put with wifi?
Hi all,
I run on OS: Android v 2.2.1
I try to get my GPS work but I dont know how...
I installed GPS fix but its keep searching for satellites without results. (have program for 2 hours searching...)
I dont want to take the risk with new Android version (2.2.3 of Huawei website)
Do anyone know a way to fix this?
My provider is: Telfort (Dutch provider)
Thanks in advance
Can someone give me some advice?
Is it possible to see if my hardware works correct?
Hello,
First thing you need to check is that you are not inside a building and not too close to big metal structures.
GPS only works outside, in the street.
Download the GPS Tester from the market and it will show you the satellites available.
Open Google maps or navigation and see if it finds your position.
It should be quick in less than 1 minute.
