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

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

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

Hello,
After they have broken into my car i had to buy an new GPS receiver. In that case i bought the new Adapt AD850 receiver but somehow it is not working right!.
First of all i have an second PDA (HTC Touch) and on that one the GPS is working 100% fine without any troubles. Then what happens:
I am able to connect it by bluetooth and create the bluetooth profile (com ports and so on). So that seems to work .... after that i start any program that uses the GPS like TomTom or GPSTuner. It finds the GPS and get an fix and will let me navigate. 30 seconds later or so it will lose the GPS and has no connection for an short while. Again it connects and has an connection and will lose it again after an while. After about 3 lost connections the connections stay's and works fine and will stay working until i stop the program and start the program again.
I think it is not an software problem as 2 different programs have the same problem. Also it seems the GPS is fine as it works 100% on my other PDA. I also have changed the OS of my Wizard. I was running MB6 and that one worked verry fine with my old GPS. After noticing this problem with my new GPS i replaced the rom and it runs TNT last version now. But also then the problem still exists.
Does anyone have any idea what could be happening?
Thanx,
Jerome

Just try these and tell me if the problem is fixed
Hi nsourm
Well dude, I already do all you told me, but i got the same results.. nothing happens, also i made a Hard Reset, update the GPS data, run the app, still nothing
i attach some screens for you review.
HI Guys!!!
I FIX THE GPS!!!!!!!!!!!, the problem, the antenna cable was loose, I reconnect it again and it Worked 100%
So could you share with us, where the antenna is located?
A photo maybe?
Please take a look to this video -> HTC Aria Disassembly, you will see EXACTLY the same layout in the Mini;
The coaxial cable for the GPS is the blue one, the white one is for the WiFi, the WiFi antenna is located in the top yellow cover of the mini (the one that protects the camera and the speaker), the GPS antenna i believe is located in the same location.
Remember I don't identified it, because my problem was the GPS blue coaxial cable was loose, I only reconect it and solve my problem.
Best Regards
Wow! You have dared to disassemble your phone!
Great that problem is solved.

Hello, my dear,
I still cannot find the gps antenna...
At the video posted above they don't talk about GPS ANTENNA...
Could you, please, give me a hand? My HTC Mini shown the same problem...my GPS just stopped working.
I'm desperated!
Pleaaaaaaaaaaaase!
HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!
Thanks in advance
Did you have install Android system ?
My gps antenna doesn't work. Through an app called GPS status i can see that my phone finds some setellites (15-20) bit it doesn't connect to any of them. My phone got opened and repaired (broken screen) a couple of times by not very expert people. I would like to know if there's a way to establish if it's a software or hardware problem. Thanks in adbance. (Paranoid android, stock kernel)

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)?
