HTC P3300 GPS port????

hi can any one tell me which port the gps is on ,,i removed tom tom BC it dosen't have maps for the place im in ,,i want to use navigon 5 but when i put auto detect it can't fine it i tryed manul,, but didnt work,, any help plzzz...thx

GPS port is set to COM4 by default.
I hope that this helps.

I can get iGuidance 3.0 to recognize it on COM 4 with the automatic GPS management turned on... HOWEVER, the GPS positions are not recieved and it cannot get a fix.
Tom Tom works okay, but I'd rather use iGuidance.

Adam, when in TT tap the sat strength meter, when the unit is displaying the sat strength/ status page is it giving the individual sat numbers and signal strength? I apreciate this app is working I just want an answer to that question before trying the next idea - Mike

Yes, the GPS Status page in the included TomTom software does show the sat numbers/signal strength in addition to their relative location.
When starting TomTom at first it says "No GPS detected" then after a couple seconds it says "Waiting for a valid GPS signal.." I'm not sure if that means there's something hard coded into this TomTom versions that actually turns the GPS receiver on.
What's your next idea?

I live in Colorado and received my P3300 yesterday. I can't seem to download my free map for some reason. When I get into PIE from the TomTom app, and select the state and press Next I get the following error message pop up:
“The page you are looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80072f78.”
Anyone have any idea why this would be happening? I love this device outside of this issue.

I wish I could get it to work; I've tried countless times in the past 48 hours with no luck when choosing any state in the US. Same error message.
I am running Navigon 5 with success, but the app is slow overall. Anyone get Mapopolis to run on this device? I tried yesterday with COM 4; it was trying hard to get a fix, but it wouldn't go for me with the latest version.

Btw,
Do ya guys know if MapKing will work on the device?
I'm kinda new to GPS, and wondering how in-built GPS systems will work with any softwares. Thanks

I've tried the TomTom software and it works well with this device. Microsoft pocket streets worked, but didnt seem to work well. Going to try Iguidance and see if that is any good.

Has anyone gotten this to work with Iguidance 3.0, for some reason iguidance will not work with the artemis gps. If you have it working, what did you have to do to get it to work?

HTC P3300 GPS port
I had a O2 orbit xba and I loaded the Navigator 5 but having problem detecting GPS receiver...can anyone help?? I set the GPS to COM4 but still cannot work. What is the setting for GPS for Navigator 5?

I know on my HTC P3300, I have troubles getting a signal so I am came to the conclusion that I am going to need an external antenna because the built in one isn't that great.

The solution to this program is as follows:
Run regedit in your HOST computer and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services, Add a DWORD setting "AllowLSP" with value set to 0

You have to be connected to internet before you start TT and download free maps... fastest way is thru WiFi. You can also use activesync to get connected to internet.

Trinity GPS Settings

Sorry about creating another one of these threads, I hate them as much as you but I really need to get GPS working in WM6 or I am going to have to downgrade. The reason I brought my trinity was because of the GPS, without it I may as well use my prophet! No matter what I try I cant get any GPS app to work, not tomtom, not gpsinfo, not pocketstreets, not even google maps!
There is no easily found information on the settings for gps within WM6, so maybe we can put that info here in order to reduce these kind of threads in the future!
If someone could answer this, it would help me and others greatly; What WORKING settings are being used under WM6 for the trinity?????

Com9 115200

Not working for me either... was a SPV m700, now WM6 (lmvd? edition).. google maps says seeking satellites, but none appear. This is right out in the open, where my bt gps unit picks up 4 satellites.
I really need this to work as well

If it does not work try a lower baud setting.

And give it some time for the very first fix...
That might take up to 10 minutes or even more...Make sure your Trinity can 'see' the sky, and just wait some more.
This applies only to first fix, after that it should be well under a minute for a 'warm' start

yea but it should be able to see the GPS device right?
using the settings above, tomtom still gives me nothing other than 'No GPS Device' much like the other programs I have tryed. Surely if it was seeing the GPS it would say 'No valid GPS signal' or 'Waiting for valid gps signal'
Have been advised to upgrade to latest version of tomtom which I have and it makes no diffrence.......
PS I cant thank you all enough for your help!

So you do have TomTom 6.03, right?
Better give more information if you want people to help you...
if it says waiting for gps signal it should have found the gps device... MN6 will say "no gps device" if it doesnt find it and "waiting for gps" if it found a device but is waiting for a fix

sorry saminegm your right. Yes I am on the latest version of tom tom 6.030 (bulid 8320) The problem I am having is that all I get is 'No GPS device' when using the settings above.

Right, it gets odder. I've used the settings suggested. Now, when I leave google maps searching for satellites, it seems to crash after a few mins. The screen goes black, and the power button doesn't turn it on. I have to soft reset it.
Try it with lower baud rates? Does this lessen it's power?
Thanks everyone, much appreciated

Tried it all the way down to 9600, no luck. I won't take the phone back until I've tested it with TomTom, though.

I Have now sorted my problem with a reflash of the GSM_1.41.00.11 radio rom on the LVSW thread!
Despite me having done this once before, my radio rom was still the old orange one! reflashed it with GSM_1.41.00.11 and it works a treat!
ChrisFilter I take it you are having a similar problem; try going into system settings and device information. Then make sure your radio version is 1.41.00.11 if its not reflash it with the GSM_1.41.00.11 radio rom and it should sort your problems out!
And once again Thanks your all your help guys!

Already on 1.41.00.11
Maybe I'll try reflashing.. if not, back to f***ing WM5 / Orange

Wahey! On my 7th attempt, with google maps, in my garden, it worked. Impressed.. accurate tracking, could see myself walk round the garden, snazzy! :d

Google maps for WM - It's over and over again....
It is rather misleading - it DOESN'T use any real GPS device on your phone, or any external BT either. It is a pay service instead, which uses provider dependent LBS.

Tomtom s..l..o..w..! (Official Dopod ROM)

Has anyone else had any issues with Tomtom Navigator 6 since upgrading to WM6 (offical SEA ROM)?
Under my old buggy WM5 ROM, it was perfect. As part of the WM6 upgrade I reinstalled it, and not it is unusably slow. It takes about 5 seconds between screen refreshes etc... you miss your turns by the time they are announced.
Does anyone know the cause or fixes? I've done a forum search and the problem has been reported on a couple of threads, but no real solution.
Some initial questions:
Under WM6, are people using the GPS manager in system settings? Or just pointing TT6 at the COM port directly? (What should the baud rate be set to?)
Is tngpseng.exe still required (never been entirely sure what this does exactly)
Does running it from the storage card (SanDisk 4GB) cause any performance hit? (I'm hoping not as my device memory is full)
The other chance I made is upgrading to the latest Australian maps. (Sinsis v675?) Are these known to be worse performance wise?
Does anyone else have Hermes, WM6 (official), TTN6, latest Australia maps working? can you post your settings?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Not related to WM6 but have you checked the number of Points of Interest that TT6 is trying to display. I use TT6 and have noticed no problems with WM6 so far - but regardless of ROM I found that unless I turned off the POIs that TT6 slowed right down and kept freezing.

Thanks Tony. I've turned them all off except the speed/red-light cameras and it does seem to have helped. (I won't know 100% until I take it out in the car, but it seems much faster at home on my balcony!)
The strange thing is I many POIs enabled on the previous install under WM6/older maps. Maybe the newer map is larger or something.
Does anyone know if custom POIs are more performance intensive than the build in ones?

I've had some kind of issue with TomTom since upgrading from Black Dymond (first to Magik and now to Satin). On the first upgrade I had to reregister my unit with my account to get access to my plus content (device ID change).
Now, I intermittently get a warning that it cannot find some file. I can't replicate it reliably and haven't had a chance to note the missing file. I suspect it has something with how TomTom is accessing info on the card.
My problem only presents itself when shutting down, so it's not a real issue for me. If it was, like yours is, I would first try increasing your caches. If that doesn't work, try going into the TomTom manager console when synced with the computer and remove everything (program, maps, voices, etc.) from your device/card and then reinstall it (make sure you have your disk or a backup, plus your registration code). If it has anything to do with lost file links, this should solve it theoretically.
I suspect your issues are due to either caching or lost links in TomTom itself, or both.

Tomtom has some problems with some wm6 roms not all.
My experience:
It worked fine with black dymond. No slowdown. No Problem.
It was painfully slow with black majik
It was OK with VP3g's v2.0 but after I added HTC home plug it slowed down considerably
Currently I am running latest Black Satin and TomTom runs just fine, stable, superfast, no freezes. This time I am going to stay away from HTC home plug.

You do not have shut down all of the 'nice to haves' (POI's) in such unnecessary and draconian fashion, quote "have you checked the number of Points of Interest that TT6 is trying to display".
Like Quist, I beleive the build of the ROM is much more at issue.
From my observations - Dopod / Black Satin / Sleuth's and Black Dymond are not at a problem.
I have noted significant refresh delays when using Schaps and Black Majik.
Good luck.

I've never seen TomTom run as fast as it does on my phone with vp3G's 3.0 WM6 rom.
I'm running TomTom version 6.100 (8330)

Im using Schaps 3.57a with TT6. So fast. Cold boot around 10s to 20s. Thanks

Artemis problem with GPS

I have got here a upgraded Artemis and it just does not want to work properly with GPS. All the satellites are in the north point and it never gets a valid signal. I have already tried to flash it to the black & blue ROM but it still happens. The navi software i am using is TomTom 6.032.
Anyone got an idea what to do? It never works, not even on the street.

With GPS of my SPV M650 I fought 2-3 weeks
I have more another program-but these basic = think this is enough

I have done all of that but nothing helps. I simply can't get my GPS to work. IT shows me that all the satellites are in the north position and that is about it. I have changed the firmware and i have used all the fixes recommended here including GPS reset with no success. When i connect my BT received it works fine but that is not the point of having inbuilt GPS
I really hope someone can help me to get this damn phone working. Would it work better with WM05? If so has anyone got a link to it?
Thanks again to everyone helping in here.

I haved some problem=one satelit in north!
my problem was in contacts of antena!!!
Try to connect outside antena(back side connector!) i think you have some problem like my

Otherwise, i'll explain in english cause I had the same problem:
I tried with the first Kulbutor patch (in my link)
If you install it just after the flash; there is no problem.
Moreover, if you are using Orange with AGPS, it works also. after having install the Orange.cab
Be carefull you must wait this (or these) install(s) before running tomtom; otherwise, it won't work
Hoping it will help you,

GPS problem with GPS cam
Hello,
I just installed the artemis touch 4.02 WWE on my XDA I orbit. Everythings works fine, also Tomtom and visualGPS. But the GPS cam seems to be not able to start built in GPS when launching camera for GPS photo. The first time when I started the GPS cam, a pop up appeared with message "initializing GPS" or something like that, and I cancelled it by tapping cancel button. Now GPS cam is not working any more. Will this fixes solve my problem?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Orange touch HD + tomtom= no GPS device?

Hi,
I signed up a touch HD with orange UK yesterday. The first thing I did was to install TOMTOM on the machine. However, TOMTOM kept reporting no GPS device. If it finds the internal GPS receiver, then it is 20 minutes later. One thing I notice is that when TOMTOM is looking for the GPS receiver, there is something trying to connect to the internet.
I am sure I did everthing right as I was using this copy of tomtom on the touch diamond and it worked like a treat.
Did orange do anything to the GPS so people can only use their stupid orange map? If they did, is there any way that I can get the tomtom working?
Many thanks in advance.
Thank you for all your advice and the problem has been solved. Here are a few tips for people who have the same problem.
1. A-GPS can only make things worse, switch it off.
2. Update your quick-GPS data.
3. It seems that tomtom struggles to find GPS device on certain orange handset. If you are the unlucky one, try change your hand set with orange. If you don’t want to go through the trouble, open google map to locate satellite before open tomtom.
4. Debrand the handset.
5. Orange’s customer service is crap, stay away if you can

Have you tried updating QuickGPS in the programmes.
Also check A-GPS is disabled in windows settings.

Thanks, I have updated the quickGPS the first thing. I have the a-gps enabled, though it could help to locate the satallite.

I think it is recomended to be disabled.
Perhaps try it if you have not.

GPS always worked fine for me with the stock Orange ROM, that was with 1.14 though, I think they come with 1.19 now, it also works fine with all of the cooked ROMs I've tested. Perhaps the version of TomTom you have isn't fully compatible with the HD (I did notice you said it worked on the Diamond, but perhaps there's a hardware/software difference on the HD which stops it working.

Hi Guys, Thank you for your reply.
For you who is using tomtom, which version are you using? I am using 7.48

Thanks all for your help. Disable A-GPS seems hlep a lot. I will try again today.
By the way, UK orange's customer service is what I call crap. I called them about the GPS last night and a idiot tell me that as far as I can make phone calls, my phone is fine.

Don’t blame them, that is way we are here.
My tomtom version is 7.915.9196, with latest UK and Ireland map v830.2307
but unfortunately it doesn’t support 7 point postcode system just accept 4 digit post code and in order to find the address you actually need to know name of the street as well. But I have iGO with 7PPC which it is fantastic.

thanks for telling me.
ok now for everyone which already had tomtom without 7 digit postcode, do as I listed here:
01- Downloaded the file
www.tomtom.com/updates/great_britainpostal_all.zip
02- copy it into new folder (folder's name doesn't matter)
03- extract it.
04- click on setup.exe
05- choose "i agree" then click next.
06- choose Pocket PC (Windows CE)
07- choose install Tom Tom Great Britin Postcode then click next.
08- choose other location (Advanced)
09- choose Folder on the computer
10- select any folder you want
the software will generate a zip folder
after getting the zip folder move it to your SD card's Root
start TOM TOM you will be able to do a full 7 digit postcode search.

I often get the 'GPS device not found' error on my Orange HD also. A quick fix I've found is to run Google Maps first and lock onto a GPS signal in there, before opening TomTom. Seems to 'solve' the problem for now...

it shouldn't be like that, when I had Stock ROM on my HD I used to had similar problem beside long waiting time before tomtom finds signal (about 15 ~ 20s) but after flashing HD with Custom ROM every problem is gone, now it finds signal in less than 5 second

Exactly what I was going to say.. I had the same problem with mine running 7.9something. If you run google maps in the backgroungd it almost jump started the gps. I have also found that once you get a gps signal it seems to keep it easier..... dunno if thats just hopeful. Oh yes and I am on Orange too stock rom.
