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

Hardware com9, program put GPD1.
Cheers
Im Using LVSW 2.0.1.1
YEP:
GPS Program Port: GPD1
GPS Hardware Port: COM9
Baud Rate : 115200
Works Great, recep. better then HTC 2005.
GPS Setting
GPS Program Port: GPD1
GPS Hardware Port: COM9
Baud Rate : 4800
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.

What? Google Maps Mobile does use your GPS device, atleast it does on my phone...
As we all know Lg ks 20 and htc kaiser use the same processor. Is it possible to use the gps driver from Kaiser in order to enable the gps reveiver (if there is an antena) for the Lg? The idea is based on the fact that the Kaiser users use our video driver to improve their video performace. Maybe we can also use their driver to enable the gps. The Kaiser's users can help us here to our try.
The registry location of the gps driver of the Kaiser is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver]
I think that the driver is the "QualComm GpsOne Card". You can view some registry values for the gps of the Kaiser here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1735972&postcount=112
I think that what we need is descpribed below:
In fact, most QGPS implementations, including the SiRF-III and the Kaiser's Qualcomm have 4 layers of software to make the whole thing work.
The first being the GPS channel driver itself obviously. The second is an GPS intermediate driver, which is somewhat a managed com port driver.
The third - the most important one - being a QGPS service (in Kaiser) / a helper background process (in SiRF-III) running in the background to actually use the downloaded quick gps ephemeris/almanac data to calculate satellite positions, and then upload it to the GPS chip. It is indeed contrary to popular believe that you upload the whole QGPS file to the GPS chip and let it do all the computation. This is actually quite impossible given the processing power of such a small chip and very limited memory. The data crunching must be done with a processing unit running off the chip, i.e. on the host device. In a SiRF-III implementation, the real-time ephemeris/almanac data obtained by the GPS are actually being written back to the QGPS data file, presumably in an attempt to preserve the most updated data in a data store.

Already I found the gps driver and the quick gps in Italian language from the Kaiser rom thanks to Guybrush. You can find it here:

I install it in lg. After the instalation it obviously seems that all the registry values are similar to the Kaiser for quick gps and the gps driver, but the gps is not activated and the quick gps program does not start at all. I don't know if it is a good start but its a good opportunity to try something for enabling the gps in lg ks20 if exists. Maybe we have also to make some changes in the nv backup file. I don't know.
If anyone knows what we can do next please share it with us.
If it s possible it will be so nice
Are you sure the hardware is the same as the kaiser?

Both use Qualcomm MSM 7200, 400MHz processor core. Also in the nvbackup file of the lg you can find something like the following lines:

xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

antenna
I don´t know much about this, but I think that besides the chipset, the device needs a gps antenna to work - and I highly doubt there would be a spare one in the ks20...

This is true. There must be a gps antenna in order to make it work. But we will not know that unless someone open the device or make the gps functional working through the gps driver. The second option is easier I think...

Hi all,
from few days ago my TOM TOM on my trinity is stopped to work.
I'm using ROM: 3.51 Claros and 1.46.00.11 as Radio.
It is very strange because suddenly it stops to work. Using other GPS software, like win fast navigator or GPSTest, it can find some satellites for a bit but without fixing them.
What should be the problem?
There is my friend having the same configuration (radio and rom) ant it works properly.
I would like to install the original rom (WM5) or install the latest radio (1.56...), what is your suggestion?
Regards
Leandro

I have a Loox PDA and have had the same sort of problem, either taking a long time and getting no fix despite seeing lots of satellites, or getting a fix from just a few satellites but with a positional error of about 300 metres. In each case the problem appears to be a corruption of the satellite data in the GPS "chip"/memory. In the case of my device there is a rear cover switch which is a bit unreliable, but I have also had a loose battery. Both of these cause corruption in the GPS chip/memory. Taking the battery out and reseting the device cures it every time. I wonder if you have a similar problem? It doesn't just affect TomTom but any software you have running. Restarting in this way can eliminate that as a cause.

Hi fingerstoo and tnx very much for the reply.
The problem come out also running other GPS software...maybe is a GPS issue.
I tried to take off the battery for 8 hours and I fixed the problem but only for 1 time. After the rebooting, the gps fixing issus came out again.
Currently I installed a cooked rom, I would like to install the original one (WM5) and test again. What's your feeling?

Ordnael
Hi ordnael, I think it is definitely worth going back to WM5, even if only to try to solve the problem. I suggest that after you go back and with your device in "factory state" i.e. no additional software installed at all, re-install TomTom afresh from card/file or CDROM. Do not use backup software to restore TomTom. This should eliminate the possibility of hardware/software settings, or installed software interferring with the GPS.
If it works, then you do not have a hardware problem. If it doesn't work, then you obviously do have a hardware problem.
If it works, then gradually re-install all your other software, starting with any other GPS software first and see if it interferes or stops TomTom working.
Are you using TT6 or TT7? Oh, and I don't think the radio function should have anything to do with the GPS, however, I don't have your device so I may be wrong......

Tnx very much for your reply.
I would like to update you about the latest changes!
(Just to clarify that the problem raises also during execution of other GPS software, so this is not a TOM TOM issue!)
Anyway, I removed the battery for 8 hours (to reset the GPS) and then the TOM TOM and "GPSTest" software worked fine. 10 sec to fix the satellite (excellent). But after 4/5 hours, I tried to run the GPS Software and the problem come back again , so I starting to think that GPS works fine but only for a bit! Should be overheat problem or client software problem... what you think?

You failed to say whether you reverted to the old operating system,WM5 or "factory state" with no other programs installed! If you did not do this then it could still be "other" software or settings causing GPS to fail after a time. For example, some other program could be gradually filling up memory and causing the GPS data to be corrupted or lost, or some interaction between running programs or processes.
If your results ARE with a nearly empty/reverted operating system device as I described previously, then it does look to me that you do have a hardware problem. As you say, it may be an overheating issue or an internal circuit intermittent fault that gets worse with time, either memory, GPS chip(s) or circuit board connections inside.
But I stress, you must try with a totally clean and reverted device to be absolutely certain.
Hi y`all,

I don't think it has anything to do with software. (at least GPS) I have the same problems with Google Maps as well as TeleNav. I was on the phone for 2 hours with t-mo tech support and was told that it was probable an issue with Google not T-Mobile. There suggestion was TeleNav, when that did not work I called back and another hour later they stated it was an issue with my phone.... SOOOOO, I went today got a new one and STILL the same problem. Cant find Sats. or Location unavail. So at this point i have no idea what the problem is... Guess I'll call tech support

In my kaiser, I use WWE roms and I never had problems with GPS.
On my Frensh Orange ROM, there is no QuickGPS. But with the bad GPS signal level, it will never fix.
i feel sorry to hear ur problem.. my gps works fine.. in fact its better than my previous Touch Pro/Fuze .. my Rhodium locks gps satt within 10seconds
maybe have to wait for new Radio ROM..

Verizon is the scum of the earth. They screw with every feature a phone has, limiting bluetooth, GPS, wifi, etc.. I'm honestly surprised they don't totally screw up phones (beyond what functional removal they're already doing, that is).

That's why I bailed out of Verizon a couple of years ago. They cripple features of the phone when those features might cause them to lose revenue (we wouldn't want your browser to save pictures when you can buy wallpaper through Verizon, would we?). I bailed out when I decided to replace my PDA with a PDA/phone and I didn't want to go with Verizon only to find out they're crippling PDAs as well.
Just upgrade the radio rom.
I was getting a GPS signal only once out of every 10 times I used it. As soon as I upgrade the Radio its fixed 10/10 the original Radio's were faulty/buggy when acquiring GPS signal.
can you give me the number of your radio rom version ?
Antonius has a patch for this, check the stickies.

I have a TP2 which has been good as gold since I bought it about six months ago, but now trying to use GPS for the first time I cannot get a signal. Can anyone please assist?
TomTom 7 and Google Maps; Neither program is complaining that it cannot find GPS, it's just that GPS does not pick up any signal.
Under QuickGPS I've got everything ticked and agreed to! I've also manually updated it three times now.
Under "External GPS" settings I've tried COM4 and COM0 and baud rates 4800 and 9600. I'm now settled with COM4 and baud rate 4800 (with corresponding settings in TomTom) and I can confirm that the GPS device is certainly recognised, because if I change the settings or if I select a different GPS device in TomTom I get "No GPS device!", whereas with correct settings I get "Waiting for a valid GPS signal".
Likewise Google Maps sits for ever showing "Seeking GPS Satelites (0)...".
I've just come back from a day visiting friends in London. For half of the 45-minute journey there I had the phone sitting on the dashboard with TomTom open, and for the second half Google maps, and then the same again for the 45-minute journey home, and not once at any point did I pick up any satellite signal.
Can anyone please offer any suggestions?
Many thanks.
Could possibly be a bad GPS unit in your phone. There is an HTC GPS Tool available on the boards here that you can try and test with. I'll do a search for you in once sec.
One quick thing to double-check, in Settings | System | ABPS Settings > Make sure you've got the AGPS Service turned on.
ETA: Here's the thread where you can download the GPS Tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477
I'd be very grateful, thanks.
ABPS Settings? What's that?! I have no such setting under Settings/System! (I'm running WM 6.5 pro)
GPS is new to me, and while clearly a nice little piece of kit the HTC GPS tool doesn't give any instructions! However, I've set it to my COM and baud rate and hit "Open" and there's a lot of action; under the "Satelite" tab I see changing red satellite points (between one and four and I'm still indoors) so I'm presuming this indicates that my GPS is functioning?
Could my issue therefore be something to do with my non-existant ABPS/AGPS Settings?

"aGPS" = Assisted GPS, it uses more than just the satellite signals to help pinpoint your location quicker. The TP2 is capable of aGPS, but it's disabled by default. You'll need an app such as "Advanced Config" (attached below) to access and activate that setting. Once you have it installed, just open the app, and you'll see a "GPS" heading in the list of options, under that is the aGPS switch.
Much appreciated, thanks. In fact I already have "Advanced Config" installed, and all GPS options already activated, including AGPS.
Could you be so kind as to let me know whether you think, from the description in my last post, that my GPS is working? And if so, might you have any idea why it's therefore not speaking to either TomTom or Google maps?

Without being able to lay eyeballs on it, it does sound like the GPS tool did indicate that you could at least locate some satellites, but I can't say for sure if you're locking/triangulating any...
There is one more setting that I've read has helped on some odd occassions, it's worth a try if nothing else. In the same GPS settings area where you changed the port and baud rate, the last tab should be "Access". On that tab is only one check box, for "Manage GPS Automatically...", and it's probably checked by default for you. Even though it sounds backwards, go ahead and uncheck that box, and see if it makes any difference in your ability to acquire sats. It may not, but it doesn't hurt anything.
Also...just to be sure...on the "hardware" tab there, do you have the "GPS hardware port" set to "none", yes?
Your other option, of course, is to load a different radio.
have you tried running quick gps?
I have also had problems with my GPS since flashing a new ROM, a reset seems to have sorted it out.

I presume you mean a full, cold reset? I've run several standard cleanups and warm resets, and yes, I've also run QuickGPS a number of times as well.
I was beginning to wonder myself whether it was to do with flashing the new ROM, although it was an official ROM (WM 6.5 Pro), Vodafone and Windows certified and downloaded through the Vodafone website, so it should have been thoroughly checked.

Yes, if you loaded a new official ROM, you most likely got a new radio with that ROM (offical ROMs include the radio, many aftermarket ones don't)...in that case Epoh is correct and you'll want to find out what radio was on your device with the previous ROM, and try flashing that same one (or one of the other available options) in place of whatever one the new ROM included.
Again, many thanks.
But I'm afraid you've lost me technically! I'm certainly PC literate and able to tweak and crack and play, but where my TP2 is concerned my knowledge is more limited.

It will have your radio version there. I'm not sure which ROM you were using before, but you should be able to find what radio it was using. Then go to the ROM development forum and read about flashing your radio!

Flashing a radio is very similar to flashing a (custom) ROM, it just doesn't wipe everything, and it only replaces the radio (actually the set of drivers for all the radios in the phone). Different radios can improve your reception on any of them (3G, Bluetooth, GPS, etc), but you may have to try a couple to find the one that works best for you.
A list of available radios, and links to detailed instructions, are in THIS thread
Many thanks for the help. OK, I think I'm on the case, but here's what's still confusing me: The thread you've sent me to explains how to determine your ROM by going to the start menu, settings, etc. However what I need to know is what the ROM WAS before I updated to my current one, no? If I understand this correctly I am trying to return to the old radio that I had before I updated the ROM, yes? In which case, how do I know which radio to choose?
If it saves time, I can tell you that I am in England, my unit is a Vodafone HTC TP2, purchased in August last year.

Correct, but if it uses the same radio then there is no need to flash a radio and you have a different problem, which is why I suggested checking to see if they use the same radio. If the ROMs use different radios, you can download the radio from your earlier ROM to see if it fixes GPS.

OK, my current ROM is 1.86.161.0 (67102) WWE, and radio 4.49.25.17 (09/25/09).
However ... since I have no idea what my ROM or radio were before I updated the ROM, how am I to know whether the radio is the same!?

On that list Burton linked for you, it shows that the originial shipped ROMs from Vodaphone (which I'm assuming is what was on yours previously) were version 1.14.161.6 (50207), with radio 3.44.25.27.
