hi all. im having problems here. i loaded tomtom5 on to my xda. its was working for a while but seems to have just stopped. i have a wired unit in place but tomtom is just saying no gps device found. it gets stranger. i have a satalite programe to check to see how many sats it can find. but that wont let me connect to any ports on the xda,. its just says the port is being used, how do i free a port up to use or find out whats using the ports......please help as im pulling my hair out here :wink:
Maybe the standard solution that has pointed out several times here in the forum and is also available on the TomTom Support FAQ.....
Have you disabled beam?
If not, do so, that is blocking normaly the COM 1
Stefan
think i may have found the problem. just dont know how to solve it. i am running on radio version 4.21.00 at the moment and i have the beam turned off. my gps device is now being picked up by the unit but i am still not getting a valid gps signal. when i try and configure the unit i get 3 staalites but it still says " no vaild gps signal." can you suggetst anything i can try. any help would be brilliant
many thanks
dennis
This Problem has nothing to do with the ROM or the Radio.
It´s a problem of your GPS-System.
Have you tried a different location of your GPS Receiver?
Not 100% sure, but i thougt that 3 sattelites are not good, but should be enough to navigate....
In my car i have most time 7 satellites available....
Stefan
hi mate....my gps reciever is on the dash of the car....it has a clear line of sight. i will move it to another position and see if that helps......will let you know how i get on mate
cheers

Greetings @all,
first sorry for my terrible English.
The Ameo (Athena) is a great device and i really love it,
but there is something that let me go mad.
I´can´t find a GPS Patch Antenna for the device.
T-Mobile tell me that they can´t help me.
HTC doesn´t Answer until now.
Does any one know wich kind of Patch-Antenna I need for the Athena ?
I tried until know a Patch antenna for the Thypoon 3500, a MCX-Antenna and a MMCX-Antenna but they all doesnt fit. MCX was really close but still didn´t.
I need one because in my Car i have a Front Window with heating.
For any answer or hint i will be verry happy.
Jack
Are you SURE you need one? My ford has front screen heating, but the GPS works perfectly! The chipset seems to be pretty darn sensitive! I'm not sure the connector - in fact, which aerial socket is it on the back, the left or the right?
Look in the artemis forum
Look in the Artemis section. The premium package came with one, and I kept mine after selling the unit as non-premium. However, I have really not had to use it on any device yet.
There's a thread in there with part number etc.
Thanks, for the quick reply.
@Digital.Diablo:
sorry but i´m sure i need an external, i already tried it and i became no Satelites - I tried it with the programm Falk Navigator Pro SC and i´m driving
a Ford Focus Turnier with a new front screen heating. The Original one was heavy damaged by a stone.
@victoradjei
I will try the one for the Artemis with the Ameo(Advantage/Athena) and i will Report if it fits. I don´t find in the Artemis Forum the Name of the Connectorpin. Did you know its Name (for example: mcx )?
Greetings
Jack
It's Motorola standard antenna.

It might not be that you need an antenna.Check all of your settings! I am not familiar with your mapping software,but there is a thread somewhere regarding problems with other map software and how they solved it.
I can use mine inside of a 10 story building with Tom Tom on it and it works excellent!
Hope this helps..................Later
mine doesn't work in nearest and costliests car or on foot in most heavily wooded either(more important for me).
so If the parch antenna works please let me know. I'm loathe to carry around my bt gps, it's something else I'd need to carry an extra charger for!
unfortunatly, Artemis hasn't MMCX. I have GPS Shop and i checked it out.
@hdbueller:
well, outside the car i have no Problem to get a Sat fix.
also oh the rear window anything is fine, Tested it earlier just for fun.
@fards: I already tested mmcx and mcx both didn´t fit
I tried this product´s:
http://www.dealcatshop.de/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=85
and
http://www.dealcatshop.de/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=158
@MrHagen: you wrote you have a GPS Shop. Could you check wich one fits to the HTC Athena/Advantage X7500/T-Mobile-Ameo ?
@all: by the way, a lot of thanks for all your replies
Right now i wait for the Artemis Patch Antenna, in hope it will fit.
I will report, promise
Greetings Jack
Sounds like your windows are metallized. You could try driving with you're windows wound down! Let us know how you get on!
After Long Time waiting the Artemis Patch Antenna arived on Saturday,
I Tested it and damm doesnt fit. The Connector looks right but didn´t fit through the case. The hole ist too small for the connector.
Has anybody an Idea where i can find one that fits.
Greetings Jack
If i get a chance I'll ask gpsforless.co.uk
If they don't know but have a selection in stock I can call in and test some out on the way home from work if they'll let me..They aren't far from me

Greetings
Jack
That's cool or maybe not...
Spoke to gpsforless last week, they hadn't got a clue what it was likely to be, not had a chance to call in yet as been working odd hours.
Connector: MS-147-C(LP)-2 HTC list that as the same as the P3300/artemis, Jack was your original patch cable a branded HTC one? it's the same item if it is.
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=147380&p=tech
Damm sounds not good, yes it was an Original HTC cable i ordered by expansys.de too. The Connector look´s right but doesnt fit through the hole in the Ameo metal case
Greetings Jack
Jack - did you receive this and did it fit ok?

hi all,im hoping some one can help!
the ear speaker stopped working on my hd so i took it in to a local shop to have it repaired but since then the bluetooth will not work and the wifi has to be next to whatever its connecting to to get a signal!
any ideas?
thanks
alex
I would hardreset
and maybe try another rom
and if non of those things worked
I would say the antenna inside had be damaged
as it would explain the poor range
i have upgraded the radio and put a new rom on it.
is there any way to check for damage?
Sounds like a damaged antennae. :S
Same with me... aehh my Blackstone)
But: I changed my Display and Digitizerboard (Digitizer was failed)
I think there are Antennas within the Chassis, if it not mounted correct, Bluetooth and WIFI fails.. :-(
HELP.... I cannot use bluetooth in HD2....("unable to start Bluetooth stack" when try to enable Bluetooth)
I bought it in HK the ROM is official ROM build 21869
Anybody has same issue ?

What bluetooth device are you trying to find?
Try installing the attached cab and see if that helps your discovery mode.

hi
sorted nice one thank you
For the first time wanted to make use of GPS in my HTC Leo. However it desn't seem to function at all!
Tried on many (installed as NatveSD) Android ROMs, and also on WM6.5 "Energy" which is in the NAND.
Please, any idea?
Probably a hardware problem. As I remember: few years ago changed the mainboard and maybe during this procedure forgot to connect some cables or sth simillar...
However now I hardly remember even how to open the phone's case...
Please provide with some schema, how to disassemble the HTC Leo and where to look for GPS module!
P.S. The phone's whole other functionality (except GPS) is perfect!
---------EDIT:
Video instructions from here helped me to disassemble the phone, however GPS module and its cable look well. Well, what to check next?
In general, HOW to TEST GPS module hardware from within working ROM? At home it is rather hard to catch satellite signal through the window...
HOW LONG need Leo's GPS hardware read pure sat signals (without internet support)?
