Hi, am I the only, who has unfunctional Igo8? Nobody have problem? I try patches, tips, AGPS, quickGPS and nothing, it fixes satellites and after second unfixed and it still repeats... Same with Igo2006, Igo 8.0.0 and 8.3.x... Can somebody help me? I never had this problems befor on Cruise and Diamond.
What GPS settings in IGO do you use? (port and baud rate)
Port 4 and no matter what speed, GPS is connected, but it is fixed after few seconds and starts cycling between fixed and unfixed with 0.5 second period... ROM is 1.40.405.3, I didn't see here anybody else with this rom
i use TT 7.910 and works great!
also try to use gps tuner (off road navigation) to try to have a fix... a see if is a compatibility error with iGo or else

Try this cab it'll improve your GPS (faster fix, more stable/reliable).

hi, i've installaed also tt 7.910 but when i tourn tt navigation still back from some second after that the tt go ok..
you don't have any lag?
Hi!
I'm using the auto settings for the gps. Its on port 1.
Yes i have a lot of lag. On the highway i lost an exit. I was travelling at about 120kmh, and the gps had a lad of about 700 mtrs.
I already returned mine. waiting for a new batch to arrive. Hope it comes with a new rom.
...
hello,
with igo2008, version 8.0.0.41506, the lag is roughly of 1,5 seconds (120 kms/H). Port 4., Caud baud 9600. With TomTom, version 7.45, lag is 1 second (minor than with igo2008). Measured to same speed.
I,m from spain, Valencia, but this would not have to influence.
Any another opinion?
Best GPS setting I found so far
Guys, the best setting for GPS I found so far:
Go to registry, to path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS
Set GPSMode to 1
Set EnableAGPS to 0
Do not change anything else. You can use CAB file jgeerts suggested, it should do exactly the same.
Set your GPS application to use COM4, Baud rate 4800bps and Type 1 (if your program supports this).
It will take longer time to get a fix (especially cold start), but it should be more stable and reliable.
About the unstable fix:
I also encountered that periodical fix / unfix. It usually happened only after cold start of GPS (it was not used for a few days). It helps to leave it on for some time and wait, after a few minutes periodical unfixing was gone. Maybe it sounds crappy, but I tried Artemis along and during that time it did not get ANY fix .
Thanx, but still no stable fix... I try cab, registry settings and still periodical unfixing. Often helps to disable gps, change speed and then in 90% it is fixed. Did you install Igo or only copy it to SD card, like me? Maybe I have to try Tomtom or wait for next ROM (which I can adapt for me).

I have tested it in two cars with TomTom v7.9, one car without special windows and one with special windows. on the first one I had no problems at all (no lag, stable fix) but on the other one I had a lot of lag and the fix is very unstable (periodical unfixing). I also have the same results if I'm using a real TomTom One device in these cars.
Are you using it in a car with special windows? If that's the case don't expect your Jade to work in it, the builtin GPS is not that sensitive!
Maybe I didn't say that fully exact, I have no problem with signal from satellites, I have about 12 satellites visible, from 4 to 10 active, fix about 15 to 60 seconds, but immediately after fix device get unfixed and it repeats forever... No matter how many satellites visible and active. I have to disconnect GPS, change speed of COM4 port and connect again. Often it helps, sometimes not.
iGO 8 on WIndows Mobile
HAve a dead GPS? Unlocked VoIP on WM 6.1?
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3067686&postcount=14
My jade has the same malfuntion too.
Gps has no more fix..
Till yesterday (around one month usage) all was fine..
Weird, This happened 12 hours after using Quick GPS funtion, downloading first time the sattelite Data.
Config. is ok ComPort 4 and boutrate is good enuf.
I am able to see three bars (three sattelite connection) in IGO8 GPS screen. But there is no red and yellow spots inside circle at upper left corner.
I wonder what is the relation with the voip etc.?
tom tom 7.45
i have tt 7.45 installed...it works ok but never has any sattelite bars at all - takes a while to fix ("poor gps reception) but then the planning etc goes well and TT works (no bars at all times). the lag is not there or very minimal.

Version 7.45:
No sattelite bars
Can not use the new V8 maps
Does not warn (sound) if you're driving to fast
Version 7.9:
Has sattelite bars
Can use the new v8 maps
Produce warnings (sound) if you're driving to fast
Lag has nothing to do with the version you're using. I've installed and tested them all (TomTom, Garmin) and all of them had the same issue (lag!).
When using it in a car with special glass, the lag was worse. Using it in a car without special glass the lag was minimal and not really a problem.
No GPS Fix - Solution !
The issue occurs when you have not used the GPS for a long (more than a week) time. I also experienced the issue.
It seems that disabling AGPS caused the issue. So I made a small modification to the GPS settings (registry values) and the problem is solved.
I did the test with TomTom v7.9 and the GPS seems to work fine (no lag when used in a car with no special glas).
In attachment you'll find a cab to do the registry changes.
You need to do a soft reset after installing the cab and you also need to run QuickGPS prior (or at least once every 6 days) to run any navigation software.
I have tested this CAB and still the same problem that Alekss_UH, it fix and unfix signal GPS each second aprox. in my Jade, in TT 7.9 ang IGO 8.3 same problem....

Ths to jgeerts,
The same here.. tested.. but no use..
In outdoor, even some hours does not help..
If AGPS is on it is impossible to get fix..
The only way AGPS must be off, even so, 10 hours later refixing at the same place takes more than 10 minutes..
It is no concern w/ navsofts. I have four major navsofts installed, all have the same trouble..
It is not reliable..
is there any way to obtain support and sp from HTC ??
I have been 2 days with this GPS fix/unfix issue, and I think now it can be a HTC JADE / 3G ROM problem, besides several people is reporting same problem...
Visiting htc.com support:
HTC Touch 3G - English ROM for Middle East

Hi everyone, I just tried my Freedom Input Keychain GPS 2000 bluethooth GPS receiver on my HD, the one with the MTK chipset. I have been using it with my Touch for quite a while. I noticed that when I use the internal GPS on the HD that I was not gettting what Garmin calls a differential lock or WAAS satellites. I was dissapointed to find that I get them with the blue tooth GPS. Has anyone else gotten WAAS with the HD? I flipped back and forward between the two for a while and with few exceptions got a differential lock on the BT but not never with the internal GPS on the HD.
Thanks, dhatw.
try turning off AGPS. I was getting this problem with tomtom before.

Can you turn off AGPS from settings in the phone? I think (I will check as soon as I finish this response) that I have it dissabled via HD Tweak.
Not sure, but you can through HD Tweak
I have an Elfin and i have a bluetooth GPS reciever [Globsat BT-368] . I seem to have run into some problems. I have managed to get the reciever connected to the Elfin . It seems to work fine with google maps.
The real issue is - i am not able to get it to work with the MapmyIndia software.
If anyone has any idea on this , they can probably help me.
My Ordnale.ini looks like this. I have edited the GPS port to com6 [My GPS reciver is on com6] however i still cannot get it to work.Sometimes the GPS will attach but it would work.It would say waiting for GPS.

I have tried different Baud rates and still the same result.
I was running Onyx ultimate 4.5 and now reverted to stock Rom. Still the issue persists.
Hi,
is there anybody who get the Optimus successful worked with a bluetooth gps mouse?
I tried it with an Holux M1000 and a Royaltek RBT-2001. In both cases the connection was done without a problem, but after a short time, mostly within one minute, the connection was broken. Then the only thing I could done was to restart the phone, because a reactivation of the bluetooth system was not possible. There are other people with a similar problem, I know, but nobody of them has our LG phone.
I've tested with the apps BluetoothGPSMouse, Bluetooth GPS Provider, Bluetooth GPS an BlueGPS. All with the same result. Also activating an disactivating the internal GPS or the wireless network before connecting with the mouse had no success. Changing the rom had also no effect. I've tested with the baltic 2.1 and the black 2.1.
Is there a chance to avoid the sale of my phone. This function is essential for me.
Thank you! I hope you understood my not-so-perfect english.

Most of them flash with no problem on the GPS, some of them (like me), accidentally had an spoiled GPS...
Here's the tips on how to fix this up...
Flash your HD Mini to CM6
Check your GPS, you manage to get your GPS running smoothly... Let it on, leave it enabled..
Then flash back to NAND Photonic CM 7.2 - 2.6.35
You should see that your GPS is working find again as before...
Have fun!
Yea, generally, at least with HTC devices for sure, you need to leave the GPS enabled if you want to get accurate readings. If you have GPS off and you toggle it on and immediately try to connect and display your location, the device will take a long time trying to connect to the servers.
