tomtom 6 gps problem - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

i have a big problem with my artemis...
i updated the B&B 3.7 rom...and tomtom dont take signal from sat...
i updated the touch fluo rom...and tomtom dont take signal
i downgraded to original italian rom...and tomtom dont take signal
so i dont know what is the problem!!
when i bought my artemis tomtom was already installed in the phone (not sda)
so i downloaded the Cab from p2p and used it...it works in every way exept gps signal
i think its a problem of tomtom because with any rom i dont recive any response from sat! on tomtom.it site i cant download any Cab to install on phone..only tomtom home but i already have it on the DVD
anyone can help me or give me an advise?

Can you receive a signal at all? Is it greyed out or nothing?
When configuring GPS Hardware. Select another NMEA wired at 4800baud on COM4.

tom tom 6 wont recognise inbuilt gps

... can someone give me the settings to fix this problem, and also an english lanuage voice, thanks
Other NMEA GPS recever Baud Speed to 9600 on Com 4 should work fine. You can download a voice from www.tomtom.com go to the Plus section of the site and select voices, the built in ones are available for download, what happened to your original? - Mike
thanks for the help, dont know what happened but they all came up not installedhad a look at the extended rom and tried to run the cab but it wouldnt run, but al should be fine now thanks
the gps still wont work, what settings do you have in the gps applet in settings? i cant select com 4 in tom tom what comes up is com9 gps com0 com2 and serial, no matter what it is set to in the gps settings
I think you need tom tom 6.02 to recognize the internal gps.
I'm using tomtom 6.010 and it works perfectly on Xda Orbit.
Settings in Orbit
Program GPS: Com 4
Hardware GPS: None, baud rate 9600
Tick Manage GPS Automatically
Settings in tomtom
Select "Other NMEA GPS Receiver" 9600 on Com 4.
Have you been to the Tomtom options>preferences>GPS>configure yet? maybe that's your problem ??
Mine is set to com 4 by default in the prefs and In built GPS in the TomTom settings. Hope it helps.
EDIT:
Also bear in mind that the program will take about 30 secs to recognize the built in GPS and then it will take around 45 secs to get a signal outside so give it time too

With 6.02 it takes about 10 seconds for a cold start to get a lock and 3 seconds for a hot start. It uses the QuickGPS files! Mine has usually got a fix by the time I've loaded TomTom and opened the satelite info page!
Phil
I have :
Software tab : port : com4
hardware tab : port not set, speed 4800 bauds
Acces tab : select the item
These are the settings with were set when I bouth the device.

QuickGPS files ?????
Quick GPS is an application on the HTC Artemis and MDA-C-III (Not too sure about the Orbit as I haven't had a chance to mess around with one yet).
It uses the internet or GPRS connection to download a tiny database every 72 hours to speed up the GPS signal acquisition. It is in program files on the device if you have one - Mike
Got It working in the end Couple of Restarts got it going. and to clarify the orbit does Have the Quick GPS aplication, thank you all for your Help

First, make sure your Quick GPS is up to date ( although I'm not really sure just how effective quick gps is, I'm sure I've had a signal without updating in about the same amount of time)
On your MDA, go to Settings/Sytem/GPS.
Click on GPS and in Programs tab, set GPS program port to 'COM4'
Click Hardware tab, set GPS hardware port to '(None)', and set Baud rate to
'4800'.
Click Access tab, tick box for 'Manage GPS automatically (recommended)'
Load Tomtom and go into the GPS Receiver configure screen. Select Other NMEA GPS receiver. Next screen, slide GPS baud rate to 4800 if it isn't already at that. Click done. Next screen, highlight COM4 if it isn't already highlighted, then click on COM4 and it'll bring you to the next screen which shows your current GPS Status.
Make sure you are outside to get a signal. It can take anything from 2 minutes or longer. Mine rarely gets a signal before 2 minutes and sometimes much longer. Some people are very lucky and manage to get a signal within a few seconds, though I've no idea how they manage that.
Also, I've just replaced Navigator 6 with Navigator 7 which is essentially the same but with some different colours, splash screen and one or two additions in the change preferences menus. However, it has a new feature in the GPS Receiver screen which might be useful. It now has Built-in GPS receiver and there seems to be nothing to set after clicking on that. I'm going to go test it now, see if it's any faster or works at all.
I DID IT YAYEE!!
For HTC TOUCH HD TOMTOM6 i chose 9600 and com2 and its now working.
In mobiles setting i turned all com to none..
cheers!!

Hi,
I got Quick GPS updated through Activesync
in Settings/System, I have External GPS... not GPS
In External GPS, I did what you suggested.
Same with TT too
I am still not able to get a lock.
It still get "Waiting for a valid GPS signal..."
What more can I try?
Do I need an external antenna?

BT GPS Reciever

Hi,
I have Black 2.5 installed on my Orange SPV m3100 and have installed my TomTom Navigator 6 software which seems to be running fine.
However I cannot get it to connect to my GPS reciever (it's not a TomTom one... that got knicked)
Has anyone had any success running this sort of set up? What setting do I need inside TomTom and in WM6?
Many thanks.
Crin
Just since you didn't mention it... you did pair the new GPS to the phone, right?
This is something I'm curious about as well. I won't get TomTom or Garmin, but Google Maps (free) is supposed to do the same thing.

I have run Tomtom 6 with Black 2.5 with no problems, have you tried a soft reset, and do you know how to pair it up properly with the bluetooth receiver?
I run Tomtom version 6.030 (8320) with new map version 675.1409
Hi,
I am using NAVIZON.COM and a nokia LDW3 GPS receiver and I must select manualy in Navizon software my GPS.
Maybe it is an WM6 problem or Navizon problem.
try to select it before launching maps
regards
Richard
I have paired my m3100 with the GPS. In TomTom under GPS device I have selected "Other bluetooth GPS reciever" then it asks...
"GPS is connected to:"
Which do I select?

I use com port 0, but you need to set this in bluetooth settings before you run Tomtom, let me know what you have done so far and I will help you out.
I just helped someone with a bluetooth gps problem where they has paired the gps, but it would not work.
I looked at the bluetooth settings in the comm manager, the COM ports tab.
There was nothing there but "New Incoming port" and "New Outgoing port".
I clicked on "New Outgoing port" there was the GPS listed, and I clicked it to assign a com port. After I picked one that it would accept, the GPS worked fine.
Just because you pair the GPS does not mean you are done with the config.
Be sure and assign the port number.
I hope this helps.
I've sorted it now, thanks for all help.
I'd already done the pairing... AND set up a serial port but it wasn't appearing in the list within TomTom. However, for some reason when I tried it again to show someone it wasn't working...
...it worked!
Isn't that always the way? I dunno if it was the soft reset. seems feasible so thanks for that suggestion.
Anyways, i'm a very happy bunny now. My SPV has never run so fast, my TomTom works and I have my messenger all merged with Outlook nicely (finally) WM6 Black 2.5 rules!
This was driving me crazy, i was trying all these things and couldn't get tomtom to find my gps. but like an idiot i had overlooked the com ports on the bluetooth settings.
I set it to com 0, went to tomtom and com 0 showed up under other bluetooth gps(before it was cam3 com7 RIL on Com6 and irda). Now its all good to go!
btw, does the RIL on Com6 mean that its seeing the internal gps?
Hi
I have installed GPS on com5, TomTom don't reconize it (don't list com5) but i choose com3 and save setting. Exit tomtom and edit binary file navigator.cfg and change com3 to com5 save and rstart TomTom, then reconize com5 and works fine.
Try yo do this.

Build in GPS

Hello,
I was planning to buy the HTC P3300 one of the main reasons is the build in GPS (which I want to use in my car). Is the build in GPS good enough to use in a car? I start having doubts when I saw a package offered with a external gps as well?
Thanks in advance,
Luigi
Of course it is usable in car. I had the p3300 gps (now the p3600 trinity gps). both devices have very good signal. So no external gps recommended.

Yep, works totally great. The Orbit has a very good GPS receiver, v. good at receiving signals, and the units volume level make it equally good for hearing the voices. I've used prevoius PDA's with an external GPS, but the Orbit does just as good, without all the hassle of extra leads.
GPS settings
Can anyone help me?? i have got the Artemis since 4 weeks, TomTom was pre-installed and worked actually, but couldn't find some maps for it. Therefore I removed the app and installed iGo 2006 and some other GPS apps. Now I cannot find TomTom and all the other apps throwing me the same "cannot find GPS receiver" message. Is there something wrong with the TomTom removing or there is some way I can tune the receiver to answer for the other apps.
Thanks in advance

In tomtom you have to select the Internal GPS receiver.
serch for settings in the other apps where you can select the GPS receiver.
It is connected to COM4 by default.
Yes, in TomTom you must go to the menu screen, select 'Change Preferences' then select 'Show GPS Status' then select the 'Configure' tab. Once your there select look for an option for 'Built In GPS Receiver' if it is there your done, if not you need to select 'Other NMEA GPS Receiver' set the GPS Baud Rate to 4800 then select the COM Port your GPS is on, usually COM4 by default.
Hi
I have the same problem, I've checked all the settings (tomtom and device)and they're correct but still Tomtom says no gps device.
I've just hard reset my device, is there anything I need to do?
I have a xda orbit.
edit: sorted, just me being stupid (as always)
Try with this settings
Try your mobile under system settings you can find GPS icon.
Check GPS program port is COM4 and Hardware port is COM3 with baud rate 4800 selected. Access tab click Manage GPS automatically
Once these settings are same as above try with your GPS software (TOMTOM or any other) with the GPS port as COM4 selected.
Please let me know if it works

Should work fine
External GPS = COM9 (in Settings/Hardware/External GPS)
in TomTom6 set to 'Other NMEA', 57600 Baud, COM9

thank you but in Settings/Hardware/external GPS there are 3 tabs, one called programs, one called hardware and one called access (i think...is "accesso" in italian). How I have to set the 3 tabs????
In particular...
programs makes me choose a port that the softwares will use to communicate with GPS device
hardware makes me choose a port in which the GPS device is connected and the baud.
Access ask me if I want to automatic manage the GPS
What I have to set in each tab????
Thank you so much
Shouldn't matter set Progs to GPD1, HW to Com9 57600, Manage GPS Auto ON

Set your GPS Port to COM1, then wait....
sometimes it take me half hour to get a fix.
However, after the first fix, subsequent fixes in the same area will be quite quick.

Make sure your GPS program port set to COM8, GPS Hardware port: COM9 Baud rate: 4800 & Tick "Manage GPS automatically" under GPS Settings.
You should test your GPS outdoor NOT INDOOR!
