medion gps software

hi....ive installed the medion sat nav software [courtesy of one off the guys here!]..on xda1 running wm2003....i have a haicom gps connected, which is confirmed working. However the medion software cant find the gps......any ideas?....or is it totally incompatible, i know the medion unit comes with its own gps.

It runs on a pxa 250 processer running at 400 mhz, maybe it isnt compatable with the early arm processer, it comes with a standard serial gps so I dont think it is an issue with the gps.

medion
i understand that..but the prog itself is running ok?

I decided to try the medion program to see what the problem was, I am using xda1 with the siemens/att wm2003 upgrade, the software found the digitraveler gps right away, it is now showing 4 sats, it is set to com1, beams are switched off in settings/connections/beams. It works perfectly, the haicom should also work as it uses 4800 nmea settings for gps output so I have no idea why it wont work for you, it is a quite impressive piece of mapping software, I am going to trial it in the car tomorrow and se how it functions, it has me locked on to my address at the moment and looks very accurate while static which is a good sign.

Sounds like a good bit of software, could you let me know if there is anywhere I can get it on a trial before I buy ?
Cheers

I have found another anomaly with the Medion software. It was working fine on the XDA1 with WM2003, I then installed it to my xda2 using another 256 meg sd card made by Sandisk, it worked fine on the xda2, however when I try to use the sandisk sd card in the xda1 it will not bring up the names when trying to search for a place to naviagte to, I then tried a Dane Elec sd card and it worked fine in both the xda1 and the xda2. I find it very weird that a "Standard" exists for memory cards but in practice the standard is far from standard.

Hi,
I used the medion software with my XDAII ROM 1.72 and Dconnex DC-230 bluetooth GPS receiver, it worked fine with no problems apart from the annoying (make a U turn) when the software can't keep up with alternate route.
So I Had to go back to TomTom 2.
Still contemplating an upgrade to 3 or shall i wait for 4.

I've got the medion loaded along with tomtom3 and they're both running fine using my rikaline wired gps receiver.
The reason (as explained to me) that it won't work is that its tied into the receiver that comes with the medion (royaltek sapphire) and this has a slightly different set up.
To get mine to work I had to install Sirftweak from www.pocketgpsworld.com and also m/s visual basic. Then run Sirftweak and alter the VTG setting from 0 to 1.
Works for me but doesn't work for all gps receivers apparently.
DON'T alter any other settings
Good luck

please help... XDAiis connect to other mobile phone

Hi there,
I have an O2 XDAiis. I would like to put the sim card from this into my Nokia 6230i and use my XDAiis as a PDA connected to my mobile through bluetooth. I have a IPAQ and am able to connect it to to my Nokia 6230i through bluetooth dialup networking but I cannot seen to be able to do this on my XDA. The connectivity I would like is a dialup modem and GPRS… please help
Thanks
Fiona
PS I am using the latest rom and bluetooth drivers from O2

Hi,
Yeah, the bluetooth seems to be cripled to stop you connecting via another mobile phone and make you use the operator it's got a SIM card for.
I would love to do this to - my blue angel is now my 2nd phone/pda/satnav and GPRS is expensive - if I want to use cheaper GPRS in it i've got to swap the SIM card with my main phone
I've looked about quite a bit but can't find any kind of info or workaround.

DJVW WLAN 302.11g Activator

Hi folks!
As some of you already know, I wrote a tool which sets a Wizard to use the WLAN g mode. It also did some other tweaks.
Some people reported the tool also works for other devices, like the Universal and the Axim X51(v). But the additional tweaks of the Wizard Optimizer were specifically for the Wizard.
So now you can download a special version of the tool, which only enables WLAN g.
FEEL FREE TO TEST IT ON OTHER WLAN ENABLED POCKET PCS AND SMARTPHONES!
Tested devices:
HTC Wizard: works perfectly
HTC Universal: claimed to be working, no exact information on this
Dell Axim X51(v): claimed to be working, no exact information on this
How to use it:
-copy the cab file to your PPC
-execute it on the PPC
-wait a minute then (soft)reset the device
I don't take any responsability for damage (lost data) caused by this tool. :wink:

RE
Its no longer there, why???

I don't know why the file was down, but I reupped it. Have fun!

acutally on my O2 XDA Exec, the ethernet comms device is called 'tiacxwln1', so im surprised if the cab tested ok on the universal :roll:
i've poked in the registry values as follows (values in decimal):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS:
DWORD dot11SupportedRateMask=1 (this is already configured on my latest 1.13.82 ROM)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS:
DWORD dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8
can't say i've noticed getting more than 11Mbps - how do i find out?!

You have to set your router to use only wlan g mode, then you will see if it works.
Thanks for your regentrys, I will add them if it works for you.

RE
Hi!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS:
DWORD dot11SupportedRateMask=1 (this is already there by default on my QTEK9000)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS:
DWORD dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8 (added)
I see no difference in speed unless there's some speed test site to try out. My router works in a/b/g modes

I can confirm without a doubt that it doesnt work on my o2 xda exec (HTC Universal)

@FOSA
@ericblong
Did you try to set your Router to G-Only mode by now?

RE
djvw,
Is there a need to set the router to 'G' mode only?
I'm using 'A' mode to connect my router to my notebook. 'B' mode to connect my PPC to the router and 'G' mode for my IP webcams
The modes are auto detectable by the devices

You need to set the router to g-mode to test if your Qtek CAN connect to it in g-mode.
If you leave the setting at a/b/g mode (mixed mode) you have no chance to see if you are connected in g-mode. The device may also connect in b mode without your notice.
It's all just for testing, after that you can set the router back to mixed mode. The Qtek will always try to use the best mode autmatically then.

I have updated the registry and set my router to G only and the Exec (HTC Universal) won't connect - it goes off searching for a 11b network :wink:
Regards,

May be can use this software to determine the data speed
IP Dashboard Network Monitor, here:-

1. It's old.
2. I think it doesn't show which WLAN mode you are running.
@tony
Did you change the above regkeys or did you install the cab?

It's actually a new version which is supposed to support WM5 and was only released this year.

Just did the reg keys - I didn't think the cab file was for an Exec...
Regards,

Tried the cab file but still no joy!
Remember, CapNotify.exe doesn't exist on the Exec but shouldn't prevent the other aspects from working but they don't
This on a UK Exec from O2 with ROM 1.13.82 WWE, Radio 1.04.02, Protocol 42.37.P8, Extended ROM 1.13.188 WWE.
Regards,

Same here dont work, added just the reg key, router set to g only mode, exec searches for signal.

Ive done the same as TonyBro & dazzled
IE/ added the registry keys, soft reset, enabled G mode on my router, the exec wont connect, as soon as I enable b/g mode on router the exec connects.
Its a shame, It would have been nice to have G transfers.

Doesn't work on the Alpine either. Knew it wouldn't but worth a try.
Thanks anyway.

Wont connect!
After I installed the cab-file my phone can´t connect to the GSM-net!
I did a softreset, but the phone still did not function until i did a hardreset...

Spectec SDG-810 SD SDIO GPS with MicroSD slot

It's a dream: an SDIO GPS with integrated slot where you can put a(n up to) 2GB MicroSD memory card.
http://www.spectec.com.tw/sdg810.htm
It's a dream because I read that it has drivers for Windows Mobile 2003 but I didn't find drivers for Windows Mobile 2005 to make it work on my HTC Universal.
I invite you to write to them that WE WANT drivers for Windows Mobile 2005!
Here is their email address: [email protected].

It sure looks great but unfortunately the SD slot for our Universal is located at the bottom.
Also, this device requires the slot to be SDIO capable but I doubt our Universal's slot is. I hope I am wrong though

News: Spected released drivers for WM2005!

I hope it too

Here is pic of Spectec mini GPS in Jasjar
http://www.geardiary.com/?p=1894
I very interested in it too, but from picture it seems to still protrude pretty considerably. Fear I might snap it. Found some on ebay for around $150, so might get one and see how I fair.

sdg 810
it does not function on jarjar or qtek 9000
somebody has you it in driver for the jarjar

ummm?
didnt think it did either. mobileplanet even specifically states it does not work with HTC PDA's. but wondered/assumed from picture in the link it was operational and not just visual. well, so much for that. probably was a bad idea anyhow. probably should go with BT GPS, but I hate idea of having so many things to charge....BT mono headphones, BT stereo headphones, BT gps, BT keyboard, and the PPC....be nice to have "BT charging technology"....wouldnt that be something.

navicon?
dunno if you guys already read about (navicon), just found out about it on couple posts from early last year. i gonna look into this as gps solution. anyhow, just wanted to share.

Tested this product, but it doesn't work on every PDA with SDIO slot and WM5.0 I tried it with.
Installed the driver, but both the GPS and the card slot refuse to do anything.
The MicroSD (tried several) won't show in the file system, as it prompts for formatting after inserting in the iPAQ hx4700. When I press OK, nothing happens and the card won't show up in the Explorer as well.
The GPS shows up in the GPS list in TomTom Navigator 5 and 6, but when I select it, the program keeps looking for a fix, without success, even after 1 hour.
I tried lots and lots of SDIO devices, but none of them seem to work. It might be a faulty sample I received from Spectec, but until that isn't sure, I say: damn what a 'pain product'.

It may be al late respond, but it works on my hx4700 as a GPS, installed with WM 6.1, only the card reader doesn't. Fast fix and with clear sky 10 satelites. It even receives indoor if you are close enough through a window.
Tomtom 6 has difficulties, but miomap 3.2, IGO 2008 work just fine.
You have to install GPS tweak first, to find the com port. It's com 6, bautrate 38400.

Swaped the SDIO for the Bluetooth model
Spectec was surprizingly helpful when I contacted them about the lack of compatibility with models the GSP SDIO was supposed to be compatible with. They gave me the Bluetooth version which worked with my ipaq 1910 and am now testing with my HTC universal. Theorectically it would work with any BT PDA even without a SD slot.... that is if you could figure out someway to power the thing.

I don't even have a Universal and even I know that it is SDIO compliant... :S

And now???
So, I've got here my NEW Qtek 9000 ready to swich from WM5 to WM6.1 ROM.
Is there anybody can say Spectec SDG-10 is finally WORKING now? (seeing satellites and reading maps on the enbedded microSD)

Spectec-sdg 813
I have a SPECTEC SDG-813 which I have tried with my Wizard (Cingular 8125) and a laptop. I have found that it does not work well with either device. It aquires satellites runs for about 30 seconds then locks up. Which than requires a reboot and repairing with BT.
So it has been very frustrating and SPECTEC support has been very poor. Their inital response to my request for help advised me how to set the device up under BT. I had to resend the message and point out to them that the device is setup and aquiring satellites and then locking up.
I have been waiting to see if there will be any further advice.

General question about losing connection while upgrading

I THINK this is a general question although it happens to me while trying to upgrade a BA. I have done lots of unlocking and flashing before and have a few Wizards as well as this BA. Unfortunately the BA forum doesn't seem to attract many senior members who might know the answer as I have asked it there. (Sorry to re-post)
I SIM unlocked to use T-Mobile with my Cingular SX66 to do a comparison with my Wizard to see how this BA performs: I can't figure out if this is an older unit (05 versus 06??) or a newer one (400 MHz rather than 190) and installed a ROM called Helmi, which has lots of features I don't need but which seemed to be the only WM6 ROM around for this unit (?). Unfortunately Helmi himself doesn't seem to use a BA any more so development of this otherwise quite good ROM seems to have stopped before he ironed out bugs.
Installation of Helmi went fine and without a hitch but worryingly (as I would like to test out VoIP on this unit) this BA wont connect to the Internet. WLAN is off by default and turning it on just flashes up a list of local WiFi LANs: It wont actually connect to any of them. It does take you through the steps and asks all the seemingly obvious questions and at the end of the process, it just doesn't connect. Even more annoyingly, every few minutes (or when it doesn't connect), it turns WLAN off again, so you don't really know when it did this (or, of course, why). It takes you through all the steps and then gives you the Configure Wireless Networks screen which shows all local networks which you KNOW to be available as "unavailable".
A cook called Xplode responded that there IS a problem with WiFi on the BA.
So I gave up on Helmi and tried installing a new one cooked by Xplode being cooked by a present BA user, presumably? Xplode's installation utility (which seems to be pretty standard across the HTC range, which is why I am asking here!) sees the BA and correctly identifies my unit and the Helmi OS. I then try to upgrade and with nothing changing on the BA, the computer stops seeing the unit and fails every time with Error 101. Sometimes if I try again it fails with Error 150. Rebooting doesn't seem to help. When it fails, curiously the upgrade utility hangs on the screen and the upgrade panel (with no progress of course) stays transparent in the foreground. I am using Windows XP and the original radio ROM as i cant see how the Radio could affect how the computer sees the BA.
Or is the BA just a buggy unit and should I stick with my Wizard? (I kinda like the thinness and size of the screen on the BA and wonder if VoIP might work better on a 400 MHz unit than a 190 MHz one?).
Does anyone recognise these disconnection-while-upgrading symptoms, or has anyone managed to get any of the Wizard WM6 ROMs working properly on the BA?
