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.

Need help setting up GPS with google maps

I don't know much about setting up GPS. With the wm6 rom it has enternal gps in the setting menu, so I have google map program but it won't track my location. Is it anything I need change or buy to make it work?

so upgrading to WM6 giving you GPS capacity on your Hermes? Did you also notice that your camera got upgraded 5 Megapixel?

I have WM6 but I don't know how to get it to work. Oh I never notice the camera I haven't use it since the upgrade, I'll try it out.

nice... 5MP hehe

You forgot to mention you should wait until you're batterypower is down to 50%, try to shake your phone as hard as you can...and if you're lucky (and you have the right type of phone offcourse) it's also possible to increase the storage room on your device

But what about the GPS working on google maps. Is it possible, or I need more software. There are difference com ports which one do you use?

don't worry about them... You need to buy a external gps reciever as the hermes doesn't come with one. thats why it says external gps. telenav has a pretty good one. buy that setup your com ports and then run google maps it should work.

Now that is some funny ****
The best upgrade I noticed after updating to WM6 is I now pay half price for data usage and the second best reason to upgrade to WM6 is the instant 3 megapixle increase on my camera taking it to 5 mp... cant wait till WM7

You'll need to have an external GPS module for that; the Hermes does not have a GPS. The icon is just for connecting from the OS to your external device. It's worthless without that external GPS module.

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.

[Samsung i780] GPS cannot fix on any satelites

Hi,
I am new here and just bought an i780 in S'pore 4 weeks ago, running on i780DXHD1 (Radio + PDA). I have been trying to use the GPS for weeks using the bundled NavFone but it always could not fix on any satelites. In the signal strength, there is no single bar appear. I tried MapKing, it is the same. When i checked on MapKing GPS data stream, it is always empty. when i checked on the dailpad, the GPS logo is active(not crossed). When i turn off the GPS application, the GPS logo is inactive (crossed). With this, can i assume the GPS hardware is working? But why no data stream? I have tried turning on XTRA, but it is the same. Below is my configuration:
[NavFone]
Software Port GDP1:
Hardware port COM9:
baud 4800
Windows managed: yes/checked
[MapKing(trial)]
Software Port COM8:
Hardware port COM9:
baud 4800
windows managed: yes/checked
Please help.... Thanks!

co6ra,
First off, you need to stand in an open space before you activate your GPS. I uses Agis software too, and based on my experience when you use it the first time, the signal tends to get a little longer than usual. At times, it can even be over 10 minutes before I get a signal.
To assist your time to get the signal, I would advise you to use the Enhanced GPS found in your settings>system. Clicked on the enhanced gps and select Enable in the XTRA Enable. There is no need to select Auto Download (that is, Disable).
This would mean that the device will also use the base stations to assist in finding the location of your device. Of course the downside to it is you will incur GPRS charges.
Try it and see if you can get the signal.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. For the past 4 weeks, i have been trying all sort of methods; standing at my aprtment balcony, in an open field, in a bus, windows seat, etc. all with at least 30 minutes. When i was at home, i stood at the balcony, turn on my wifi, and kept downloading the XTRA. Sometimes, i cannot see any bar at all; sometimes, i saw a lot of bars, with different PRN number, but all empty (strength 0), and kept changing, but still no fix...
help....~~

i have the same problem too until I download a software call GPSgate, there after I am uable to use my gps, I do not have the link , try seaching on the web.

I thought GPSGate is some kind of port sharing program? Both NavFone and MapKing is able to connect to the GPS unit, it just could not fix. Is it possible that the GPS is locked?
Anyhow, will try on GPSGate later. What is the recommended configuration?....
Thanks!

Installed GPSGate, and found that now MapKing is able to connect to the port and receive data. When i check on the GPS stream, it always appear to have the first line with data(some figures deliminated with ","), but follows by a few line with empty data (no figure, but a lot of ","). When i checked GPSGate, the status of the input port is always "GPS data but no position". I have tried just now in an open space, clear night sky, for at 40 mins, it still cannot fix on any satelite....
Help!...is this something to do with hardware?

Since you have not flashed to any custom rom (I hope you did not) why not send your device back to the SSC and lodge a complain that the GPS is not working at all.
If they say nothing is wrong, ask them to demonstrate that the GPS is able to lock in the signals.
I know it is frustrating to have features and yet not working. It can be a case of hardware issue. Let's see how the SSC can help you, since yours is still under warranty.
I wish you would be able to solve your GPS issue. i780 is still a great phone. Let us know how it goes, okay?

ya...i am travelling now and expect the GPS to work....should have not trust it will work out from box. will visit the SSC when i am back to S'pore 3 weeks later....

According to http://gpsinformation.org/dale/nmea.htm, GGA is one of the most important stream to provide location data. From the log, it seems like the GPS is not able to calculate the current location at all? What is wrong with the GPS unit???...
Ya...i have been trying to put the GPS on everytime i am outside, in total, i think i have tested no less than 10 hours, but still no luck....

co6ra,
From the looks of your log file, it seems that your GPS chipset might not be working. Those coordinates that you have should come from the base station of the phone.
I tried it indoor, and it seems that there are satellites showing, but just could not get a fix on it too (But then, I was indoor).
Your log file might be useful, especially when you bring your unit back to SSC for service.
P/S: My settings are as follows:
Enhanced GPS XTRA is enabled but Auto Download is disabled.
When running NavFone, my settings are as follows:
Don't worry about the external GPS settings, just leave it as it is.
I will feedback later when I am on the balcony. Please be patient.

Yes, what you said is true, the GGA data is the coordinates of your device and determine your location.

I have sent the same log to Agis and Samsung via emails. Waiting for their reply. Hopefully they can solve this by next week, so that i can use it when i need it most as i am travelling to Malaysia now.
BTW, do you guys think that this might be a locked GPS? Anybody has any ideas? If so, how to unlock?

Locked? what do you mean? It shouldn't be and it should work right out of the box.

i am not sure also...read few article on locked GPS topic, which they key in a code to unlock/activate the gps unit.

No luck. Samsung Singapore support does not even want to reply to my email....
Just happen that one of my colleagues travelled to my local office. Has switched back to my old BenQ P50 and let my colleague to bring down the unit back to Samsung S'pore. They claim that it might be a software issue and saying that they are going to flash the latest ROM to see if it helps.

I went through this same thing, I now have Tomtom7 running perfectly and getting a fix in seconds.
It is highly important that you have a working Sim card, correct GPRS or EDGE settings and that XTRA is Enabled!
Use GPS Gate stock settings! ie. prior to running GPS Gate goto External GPS and select com2, then run GPS Gate and use the wizard and let it find Com2.
GPRS/EDGE should try to connect automatically if not then switch it on, exit and restart GPS Gate. Be patient on the first fix it can take 5 mins, it should not take this long though.
Wait until GPS Gate shows that dark green icon in app tray and has a valid position, once it does then execute your GPS software and use (Franson Virtual com 1) default comport generated by GPS Gate.
GPRS/EDGE can be turned off after GPS Gate shows that it has your position and this need only be done once. This has worked on Omnia after many many hours of failure and frustration.

Can't get GPS to work (I think i have tried everything!!!)

Hi all,
A few days ago i received by new TP2. (Dutch Unbranded)
everything worked fine till it tried to use the buid in GPS.
it just doesn't connect!
things i have tried to solve it:
HTC's GPS Hotfix:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=570&news_id=165
Did not work
HardSPL
Rhodium-HardSPL_V1_20R2.exe (of course )
GPS Patch:
Downgrade radio software to 3.44.25.27 (i had .30 before that)
ITDev Solutions GPS Patch1.1.CAB
No change at all
Custom ROM: EnergyROM Standard M.25
It was nice to see WM6.5 in action but this also did not change my problem with my GPS.
could this be faulty hardware?
is there any more i could try...
How long should i stay in the backyard waiting for a signal?
Using ChartCross GPSTest i once got a tiny yellow bar as reception but i never got more than that...
It just keeps showing "GPS Starting up".
the HTC GPS Tool opens COM4 with baudrate: 57600 (does baudrate matter?)
and reports it's using 16 sattalites but has 0 fixed satellites
Thanks for any tips that may help me out!

Try baudrate of 4800 - that's the setting that I have always used - silly question, but did make sure that your "location" setting is on? Make sure it is -these settings work on my HTC Touch on Verizon - hope they translate to your phone/system

Hi all,
A few days ago i received by new TP2. (Dutch Unbranded)
everything worked fine till it tried to use the buid in GPS.
it just doesn't connect!
things i have tried to solve it:
HTC's GPS Hotfix:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=570&news_id=165
Did not work
HardSPL
Rhodium-HardSPL_V1_20R2.exe (of course )
GPS Patch:
Downgrade radio software to 3.44.25.27 (i had .30 before that)
ITDev Solutions GPS Patch1.1.CAB
No change at all
Custom ROM: EnergyROM Standard M.25
It was nice to see WM6.5 in action but this also did not change my problem with my GPS.
could this be faulty hardware?
is there any more i could try...
How long should i stay in the backyard waiting for a signal?
Using ChartCross GPSTest i once got a tiny yellow bar as reception but i never got more than that...
It just keeps showing "GPS Starting up".
the HTC GPS Tool opens COM4 with baudrate: 57600 (does baudrate matter?)
and reports it's using 16 sattalites but has 0 fixed satellites
Thanks for any tips that may help me out!

Did you try with GPSGate ?
Download it, see if it can detect your GPS and let you use it with any nav software (it creates a virtual COM port you will use with nav sotware).
