No connection with internal GPS

Hi
During my holidays the internal gps stopped working on my Touch HD. I was using Duttys 6.5 R5 at that time. I noticed this when I wanted to start a tool called GPSed again after some days of not using it (before that, it worked fine and never had problems with connecting or synchronizing). Any tool that use the GPS was not able to connect to the GPS anymore. I tried soft resetting and a hard resetting the phone. All the different programs were able to connect and lock to a GPS signal pretty fast without any problem before.
Now I'm on Duttys 6.5 Leo 2 (flashed the phone yesterday) and there's still no sign of life from the internal GPS. I've used a number of programs to check (GPS Test, HTC GPS tool, google maps, tomtom) to see if any of these programs was able to connect. Non of the programs is able to connect via any com ports (com0 to com9).
Has anybody experienced or heard about similar problems where the internal GPS module just died?
Before I give up and assume that the GPS hardware module is simply broken, is there any way that I can check if the interal GPS is enabled/disabled (for as far as this is possible) or check if it is broken or not?
I've been googling like crazy, but so far I found no solution/advice.
Please advise!
[UPDATE]: I solved the problem by installing Duttys 6.5 Leo 3

Have you downloaded latest data using QuickGPS?

I had a similar problem with GPS on my touch HD. I didn't do a hard reset but I did do a soft reset which did not fix the problem. I used the HTC GPS tool to do a cold start of the GPS and this fixed it.

Hello, i had a similar problem after installing WM6 voip.
I read some post and i found that the problem was with dnsapi.dll in the direcory windows. Try to search in the forum.
I solved renaming this file in dnsapi_old.dll, you can try...after that reboot. If it does not work you can rename again and return to the initial state.

I have also tried to work with HTC GPS tool. But the tool is not able to find the GPS. So I cannot restart or log anything.

This I will have to look into. I have not installed any voip application, and I believe that Dutty also has not inserted any VOIP tool in the ROM that I used. With File Explorer on the phone I'm not able to find the dll file under \Windows\ (That's were it should be, isn't it?). Is it a hidden file?
It's good to know that some of you have had similar problems. That gives me a little bit of hope that I can get this fixed. Maybe I should flash my phone again but this time using a WM6.1 ROM.

Yes, dnsapi.dll is an hidden file you can see it with resco file explorer.
I don't know if your is the same problem...bat if you find the file you can try.

Bluetooth not working, is device broken? "Problem Solved"

Hi.
I am having some trouble with my LEO!
When I try to enable bluetooth trough comm manager, I recive a message that says "can not enable bluetooth".
When I am going on advanced settings menu and touch the bluetooth icon it gets highlighted but nothing happends. All others connections and icon do work perfect.
I have had my device for 3 days, and have never tryed bluetooth on it before. I have stock ROM on it.
Hope that someone can help me with this problem.
Sorry for crappy english! =)

Do you have TomTom installed on your machine? That navigation software can screw up the Bluetooth stack on the HD2 by installing and overwriting WM stock bluetooth files...

Yes, I have tomtom installed. Is my only option hard reset, and never use tomtom again?
When device is starting up I got a warning: BTTrayCE.exe is not a valid pocket PC program.
Any ideas?

It's very simple to fix this:
remove BtCoreIf.dll from Windows folder and softreset.

Thank you so much! It is working perfect now! =)

You're welcome.

Same problem, trying to apply the same solution, but can't delete the file. I've tried with Total Commander but it says it can't! Any ideas what the 'user error' here is?

Please check if the attribute of the file is ROM.
If is ROM, then you have the original file.
If ROM is not set, then try to soft-reset the device then with the native file manager choose "Show all files" and delete the file.
Then soft-reset again.

It is read only, system and in ROM according to Total Commander. The native file explorer has now lost the delete option completely! Properly stuck now!

It's a normal behaviour of the file Explorer. You can't delete a ROM file.
You have the original file.
Try to delete BTTrayCE.exe, then and then restart.
It will be restored automagically.
Let me know.

That is also a ROM file and won't delete.

Ah!
I don't know, then, what is the problem.
What type of issue you have on your mobile?

Exactly the same as the OP, when the phone starts it has a Bluetooth Error, then won't start Bluetooth.

Ok, but you can write what message you see, exactly, please?

Factory reset will fix it, and was for me the only way to get it to work again.
For fun.. Try your FM radio. It does also not work anymore!

Sorry, I can't help you, then.

Yes, unfortunately in some cases it's impossible to delete the files modified by the TomTom install. At first I have done a hard reset, too; then I prepared a modded TomTom CAB file without the BT drivers so that now everything works fine. If you should need it, I can upload it somewhere.

Hmmmmm! I'm not going to run a factory reset until I can put HSPL and a modified ROM, it's a pain not being able to use my bluetooth headset, but not worth the hassle of reinstalling everything. While I'm waiting I'm going to try out loads of other bits of software and workout how to use Sashmi etc to make it much easier to restore everything when I change ROMs.
Drakknar, if you could upload that file somewhere that would be useful, not just for me I'm sure. Maybe email it to the guy who's doing the hints and tips thread to attach it to that perhaps?

I'd be glad to share the link with everyone, but I think that posting a link to TomTom Cabinet in XDA-Dev would be against the rules. If it's allowed, I'll send the link to the author of the tips n tricks post, otherwise I can send a PM with the updated .cab to those who are interested

Compass troubles

Hi All,
I have been flashing a few custom roms to my HD2 and have noticed none of them enable the compass to work.. I have used the following cooked roms and wondered if this was a common issue ..
Artemis_v25_WWE_202_23518
EnergyROM_21889_Leo_21.Jan.2010_StandardM2.5_MaxManila
EnergyROM_23518_Leo_21.Jan.2010_StandardM2.5_MaxManila
Kwbr_Topix_1.1.7
RUU_Leo_l3v5y_09123001_F_WWE_5.2.28014.5.5.0_2.01
XT_Pandora_1_3B
I first noticed this issue when using the excellent EnergyROM_23518 and figured it was a fault with that .. It seemed not to be .. Right now im downloading the stock 1.43 O2 rom that came on my HD2 to see if this resolves the issue ..
Curious though if this is a common problem seen buy many or if this is something i have lingering from all the flashing i have done ..
Cheers !
EDIT :- I have flashed the stock 1.43 O2 rom to the HD2 and i still have a non working compass.. Magnetic interferance error .. Whats up ?
EDIT2 :- Only difference i can think of is i have an HSPL installed, matter ?

i have installed the MIRI ROM and my compass is working. however when i click to "set destination" it says google maps is not installed. however i have installed googlemaps but somehow the compass does not detect that i have installed google maps.
any workaround to fix this issue.??

Hey, thanks for the tip on Miri, the compass does indeed work .. Now to get it to work propperly i had to install Google Maps cab, it was not installed on this rom out of the box ..
search for googlemaps.cab either here or on google (i tried to post direct link but it seems im not allowed (yet?)
I also installed the BsBTweaks1.6.cab and set it to allowed unsigned applications to run, i did this before i discovered Google Maps was not installed..
now its fine, i can set destination no probs ..
EDIT:- Oops see you installed googlemaps, try a soft reset if that fails trythe unsigned app change..

Googlemaps must be installed to device memory not the storage card for that to work.

[Q] gps doesn't work

i don't know how this happened.
i did run android but after that i removed it and i installed a standard rom from the htc support site.
can it be that it's still affected by android or is this something else?
my hd mini says that he can find the internal gps receiver but can't find the satellites.
i got the program port on com 4, the hardware port off and the rate on 4800, so did i used the wrong port or wrong settings.
b.t.w. when i start up my phone it says tctrayapp.exe can not be opened. i don't know if that is necessary information,

try removing the sd card,format it,install the ROM again (better without the sd card in phone)
there are still some settings on card from android which doesnt let windows mobile to find satellites,this is a known problem...
"Known issues:
-GPS software in WM will not find satellites if you turn off GPS from location settings in Android "

i did formatted the sd card after i removed android but is it necessary to do it also with the overwriting program that i also needed to use before the android ROM.
thank you for your help

hmmm,then put on card android again,enable gps(instructions in my link),test on WM,and after u can delete android if u dont want it

i don't think that's the problem i formatted the sd and i did a hard reset and installed a new rom so i think it should be out of the system already.
i dont know if the settings of the ports depends if it's working or not or that tctrayapp what i mentioned before?

well...as i said this is a known issue,many had this problem and they solved it doing what i said above..if you know better then do it your way and don't ask us!

gps
Hello.
Android get back to SD. Start Android , go to settings / position / (on) or Disable using GPS satellites. Restart WM6.5 and it works.

i tried it and it didn't work. i turned it off, turned it on and off, but it didn't work does anyone have another idea what it could f be

have you tried the changes, what I said above, on the Android or Windows Mobile? Odd, I had 3 HD MINI ALL THE SAME PROBLEM WITH YOUR and all resolved the problem.

when you flash a rom do you start with task29? if not its best you do because if you are overwriting roms it can leave you with a few traces from old rom and also picks up a few errors.. if you are using task29 then it could be hardware problem and no one can help you with this except a repair shop but cant see it being hardware as you said it works in winmo..

You need "Root Explorer." A paid app. Or connect to PC and do it that way. Using any regular file expired or manager wont make the cut because you will then experience what you're experiencing. Stairing blindly at the system folder.

now i got root exploler but cannot copy anything because full 140 mb is used and cannot coppy even this 200 kb apks from wifi, any other solutions?

i will bump untill i get answer, maybe someone have the same problem?

No wifi nor web access!
I have the same problem: no access (with very few temporary exceptions) to wifi. No network is detected, while I am sure there several available.
Moreover, even in 3G, I have no web access (whatever is the browser used).
I installed HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3 a few days (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926507) and strictly implemented installation instructions (Task29, format SD Card, and then install instructions given on the webpage).
What can I do? Thanks in advance for your help. This Rom is excellent and I would like to use it!!!
