I am sure this has been covered elsewhere but I have searched extensively and cannot find a solution to this.
I am having problems syncing with Windows Live. I have tried pretty much every recent ROM and whenever I go to set up my account, it accepts all my details and goes through the set up procedure, but when it goes to sync, it says Synchronisation has failed because 'Windows Live is unable to connect. The service may be temporarily unavailable or you may be in a place where data coverage isnt very good. please try again later.'
If I log onto the same account on an identical device running wm5 with the non-beta live cab installed, I have no problems.
I have tried with WiFi and 3G and get the same result.
I know its not a problem with signal because I have a wm5 and wm6 device running side-by-side.
When I run the set up on wm5, it automatically initiates an internet connection but on wm6, if I havent already opened up a data connection before starting Windows Live I get an error straight away saying it cant find and active connection.
I have noted that other people have had similar issues but cant find a solution.
The devices I am using are UK Tmobile - could there be a network issue?
Had same problem a while ago when first upgraded to WM6
Tried various flavours including LSVW's but always had the same problem.
I then tried a different radio rom and Custel's great WM6
thankfully all is now working brilliant and never had a problem.
However not sure if this was the change in radio or the flavour of WM6 that caused it to correct.
i also have changed the settings in HTC custom so that in the comms tab i do not have GPRS/3G always on.
I have it set to disconnect.
Hope it helps.
I had this issue as after a few hours I did figure out one POSSIBLE cause.
When I turned off messenger on my PC, then it was able to sync.
You'd think it wouldn't need that but there you go.

Hi, Kindly wanted to CHRISNASH, if the suggestion our fellow guys suggested resolved the issuse of connecting & syncing with window live as i hav the exact same problem? PLEASE...
i'll try the Custel rom tomorrow - its the only one I haven't tried I think. its certainly not an issue with the desktop as I dont have an account logged on.
I'm pretty sure I havent had these issues with my orange sim so it looks as though it might be tmobile related.
I havent used any connection tweaks so it cant be that.
ill also try one of the earlier lsvw roms which I know worked with my orange sim and see if that works.
any other suggestions would be seriously appreciated as I am running a conference with some students next week and I have planned a load of activities using it!
Windows Live not working with t-mobile and wm6
Well, I just tried my orange sim in my wm6 hermes and Windows Live synced fine. I put my tmobile sim in and it wouldnt sync giving the usual error message that it cant find a connection even when there is one. So I guess there is an issue with tmobile UK and Windows Live on WM6. Interestingly I have no such issues with it on WM5. Unless of course its an issue with the Radio version. I'll test that out now and report back.
Its definitely an issue with tmobileUK, wm6 and windows live, cos I just flashed the same device that had wm6, 1.41.00 radio and tmobile sim and wouldnt sync with windows live, with a wm5 rom and kept everything elas the same and it synced just fine!
Any ideas anyone?
Hi all,
I have an XDA Orbit on O2 which I got last week.
I have TomTom installed on the phone with the maps and voices etc on the MiniSD Card.
I went to use TomTom today, and it showed be the EULA and said No Maps available. I checked the SD Card, and I could access it and launch other applications which are installed on the SD Card.
I soft-reset the device, but still no fix.
Re-installed TomTom, and when it launched after installation it ran fine, however when I shut it down and opened it again i failed and showed No Maps once again.
I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511&page=1&highlight=Storage+Card thread, and installed the HTC Patch incase this was affecting me, however there is no change.
It seems that I can run TomTom if I re-install everytime I want to use it, however that obviously is no use at all.
Any help would be grately appreachiated, as I'm a little annoyed by this being that I have only had the phone for a week.
have you tried putting the maps on the device storage rather than your SD Card? some applications dont like being split over device and SD.
I have TTN6, and have the maps on the device under 'Program Files/Navigator/Zip/'
Hope this helps.
I had TomTom installed in this way on my XDA Mini S for 18 months with no problems, and as far as I am aware this is the way TomTom is designed to be installed.
Is the name of the TT-map map correct on minisd?
Check spelling.

..same issue
I had the same challenge.
There are one or 2 ways to resolve the issue.
1. Delete the maps, un-install TomTom software, you also need a reedit software to delete all references to TomTom in the regostry. Delete all other TomTom relevant files on the device /Program Files/navigator; /My Document/TomTom. Then soft-reset before installing all over again.
This I did for a friend.
2. In my own case, I reflashed with a new ROM, then installed all over again.
However, my friend had a cracked version, and I told him to go pay for the original, as you only need to pay for the maps these days. I cannot guarrantee 1. will always work.
I am currently using a cracked version also (tut-tut) but am getting the Western Europe edition for christmas from my other half.
The maps folder is named Great_Britain which worked on my Mini S on WM5 no problems.
Can you please advise where the TTN registry keys are, as I looked in HKCU and HKLM but couldn't find anything relating to TomTom. I did not remove all the existing stuff before re-installing so I may try this.
Just to clarify the technical points:
I am running the O2 WM6 ROM that was pre-installed on the device, and am using a SanDisk 2GB MiniSD card.
I don't see your TT version
What is your tt ver?

Can anyone tell me how I can find out my TTN software version being that I cannot get into the application itself, as I am stuck at the screen showing the No Maps message.
Is the version displayed inside a file or registry key used by TTN?
You have TT6
But was yout tt's version before??

I'm using the same version now as previously on WM5 - Is that my issue?
I don't have the Mini S with me now, so I can't fire the software up right now, however I will look tonight and post the version, unless someone can tell me a way to find it some other way in the mean time?
Thanks
i dont think u can find the version number, apart from when u are running the program... just had a quick look on mine, and there aren't any files that look useful.
I'm having problems locating the software build version.
I've started TomTom on my Mini S which is working perfectly and loading the maps ok etc etc, however I can't see anything with the build or software number on it - Sorry for being a noob, but could someone point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks
Just open TomTom and press where the signal strength is shown, it will show at the bottom right, at least in version 6.030.
I hope you know that map's from TT5 are not compatible in TT6

Hiya mate i used to have this problem too
1. Make sure u dont have bluetooth explorer switched on
2. soft reset your device see if that works
Hi all,
I knew I wasn't being stupid trying to find the version number, so I've taken a picture of the GPS Signal screen - Attached.
I disbled Bluetooth Explorer and this is now working again perfectly, without changing the maps - These maps I have used on WM5 and WM6.
I personally don't see why Bluetooth Explorer would do this, unless TomTom is foolithly trying to look for maps over Bluetooth, but thanks for the help everyone.
to find the version number with TTN6:
-Start TomTom
-Tap on the bottom right of the screen where it shows time/speed/signal strength
-it should bring up a screen which shows your last route, signal on the right and bottom right of the screen the version, which you can tap on and get a detailed view.
Hope this helps.
I also have the same problem, where it says no maps found. It used to work and then all of a sudden it stopped. It is not a cracked version.
Can someone please help me!
Thank You
did you try the soultion in reply 16? it worked for me
Hey folks, here's wishing a very happy new year to the entire xda-community! my query is related to the mapking software. I've been using this software with mumbai map which came bundled with my HTC P3300 for the last couple of months. I hv noticed a significantly large positional error between actual and gps position on the map. Initially thought could be due to low gps signal, so got myself an external antenna which sorted the low signal problem, however the positional error remains the same. does anyone else experience this. is there some way i can apply some sort of correction (or a patch perhaps) to the maps. Being a navigator we are used to such corrections wherein we change the datum of the gps receiver to sychronise with the actual printed maps. Also pls note that google maps works flawless and pretty much accurate.any advise on this.thanx!
First of all a happy new year to you as well!
Since you mention that Google Maps works well, I can tell you that it has nothing to do with your GPS signal.
I ain't familiar with the MapKing software, but I'm pretty sure that you need to re-calibrate the map correctly.
hey prodinho, thnx very much for the input. "recaliberate" that's precisely what i need to do. however the software by itself doesn't have any options. any advice?
yes buddy, i found the same while using it for Delhi.. However I feel, the old version's map is pretty accurate than the newer one. I am right now using the 2007 version and YES, its smtimes give me positional errors !
Hey jupinder, which particular older version is the most accurate as per your experience. thanx.
Im not sure but I think you can load the maps in OziExplorer on your PC to calibrate them.
Then you can save them and put it back on your device..
Download and install OziExplorer for PC: http://www.oziexplorer.com/
hv gone through the oziexplorer link. unfortunately doesnt support the mapking format of maps. so cannot load them.
Can someone pls guide me in calibrating mapking maps in oziexplorer. Thanx.
sorry fr my late reply..it was the mapking 5 or 7 version map of delhi and it rocked....Laterly i've found tht it also depends on the no of satellites u r getting locked to !!
Hi I've got a BlackStone but I can't make the GPS go right!
Which COM should I choose, Which rate? 4800? and in which place: Software or Hardware?
Finally what's the config for googleMaps?
Thank so much...

try com 4, rate 9600.
Forgive me if I understood your problem wrongly. While the HD has built-in GPS it is not supplied with any software or app associated with it for navigating or even for displaying coordinates or compass navigation.
Once you download the Google Maps (which also supports, for some countries the street map display) application onto your device, it will make use of the GPS and show you your position, with moving map display as you drive, quite smoothly and accurately. It will also show your approximate position indoors without GPS (using A-GPS and the cell site ID supporting LBS).
For point to point navigation and voice prompts guess one has to use 3rd party app like Garmin XT, TomTom; but I have not used these.

yes but in the software or in the hardware field?
You need to state what software you are using. If its Google maps just let Windows manage the GPS.
Why doesn't the GPS Photo work. It says that GPS is not active or something. What's up with that?

Thank you, but it doesn't work so!!! What's wrong???
I had the same problem, no one can't help me. Any gps software I used couldn`t find gps reciver, I've tried any combinations with COM ports....nothing. After 1 month and about 10 gps software I removed SIM card....and BINGO!!!! My old SIM card generate problem that nothing can find built-in gps reciver in my Touch HD. Try without SIM card and if it works go to operator and replace to new SIM card
Endow
Not at all
Sorry about this, but your tips does'nt help me:
I removed the SIMcard but the GPS in GOOGLEMAP didn't work anyway!
I tried to let it be managed by windows and to set it on COM4 with 9600bauds but no options succeded!
I can't understand what's wrong!!!
Another thing
Furthermore, when I set up the GPS-params in the params-application of windows mobile 6, the hard port (COM4) I chose isn't recorded by the software!!!
Maybe it's a hint for the answer?
Help me, geeks of HTC!
go to google and download the lastest ver. google map.
try to go to a window or a open space and turn on the google map. press option and try to click use gps , and see any reading on the top right of the map screen.
dont need to adjust any com 4,5,6 things.
once you got a lock on gps. you can close the google map and start to look out for third party nav software. try it.
Mine works perfectly fast at
COM: 4
BAUD: 57600
Im using iGuidance 2009
does ur phone need to go online when activating the gps? my car's gps doesnt need online yet the device can detect its location. however when i use google map, the phone just went online and try to search for my location. not too ideal as i have to pay for every kb sent/recieved.
Ooo
Maybe I will try to refresh the GPRSSettings with the soft designed for it!
I will reply when I'll know further about it...
Mine shows correct location when I set port - Com4 and BAUD: 57600 on Google maps for just a second. Then it jumps to some other continent and says GPS not available and shows the help dialog. Allowing windows to manage gps also gives same results what am i doing wrong?? or is it a limitation of blackstone/google maps app..
Reply
I've tryed what you done but it didn't succeded!
In the GMaps List I see: "COM4:" and there is nothing after the ":" !
When I confirm this update, the soft tell me that he can't found a device on this COM!!!
ok, my settings, com4, bd 4800, let windows manage (which kinda negates any settings before hand) Google maps set to let windows manage. My GPS locks well and always finds plenty of satalites, so i dont understand why you guys are having problems.
Howver, on my polaris with cooked rom, my google maps does misbeahve sometimes when the gps is locked and the map will suddenly say im in hong kong when im in the uk!! (i even unistalled google that was included in rom and downloaded new version from google)
So i believe in my limited wisdom that its probably a rom issue (radio more likely).
What i do have to decide is if the official 1.56 rom is worth flashing or not (still on 1.14)
What you guys think?
Reply
I'm not sure to understand you because I come from Switzerland and I main speek French.
YOu think that it is a ROM version's problem? Which one should I install? (and how to do it ?)
Thanks so much!
P.S.: I don't have changed any ROM or Radio Version in this HTC Touch HD!
I have never fiddled with ROM but I have same issue. google maps jumps continent!! momentarily despite 7 satellites. May be an issue with Google maps itself??

I have the same problem. I have already donwloaded the 1.56 rom and the uspl but cant seem to decide to flash or not.
Hi,
after few experiments with some cooked Rom (Energy, Leo, Athine) I have problem(ehm, ) with weather and my current position which is always presented only with text "My location" and not with the name of location(as previously, but the data are correct for my location).
I tried Task29(format my TP2), few hard resets - but nothing positive, always My location with any ROM/version also with versions which I have before and they showed correct location name.
What could be wrong ?
Thx.
PS.:
Always:
- 3G is disabled
- AGPRS is ON
- GPS help data are downloaded
- I use radio 4.49.25.91
I have exactly the same problem, see my posts here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6089493&postcount=563 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6109534&postcount=565. It seems to be a problem with O2 Slovakia, if there is nobody else who has such a problem.
Interesting is that this function was approximately a 1-2 weeks before OK.
So we can think that O2 disabled lately some localization function and so we can only whistle ?
It seems that something happens at Easter, because before Easter it was working without problem. I already sent a question to O2 Slovakia but till now no response, maybe you should do it also so I'm not alone with such question
OK, I do it too
I asked HTC support for this problem and here is the response:
Dear Daniel, Thank you for contacting us in regards to weather updates, I can help you with that. If there is a set point at which the updates began to stop working it would suggest that something has changed witht he location service in your area. It may be that your network have not correctly updated the time with Daylight Savings and this is causing a conflict with the application. Are you able to test with a different network SIM card in the device? I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, Mike B HTC
So I have possibility to try it only with T-Mobile sim card but the result was still the same :-( and if there is a problem with DST on GSM operator side I don't know how can I check it.
Your text was very good at the beginning response from HTC, but the next text ... .
I can check it with Orange SIM through weekend and we will see result, although what it will be valid if I'm O2 user ? D)
I think this isn't related to some particular provider. I've got the same problem since a few weeks, not sure if it's since Easter. Weather data doesn't update on 'My location', and what should be the place where I am at this very moment, shows only 'My location'. I'm here in the netherlands, provider is Hi (part of KPN Mobile), but on local fora the issue is also known with other providers!
So what the h**k is going on?

For me it was a wrong APN setting that suddenly changed??? So check you're APN settings and see if it helps
Hm, so it's not my case-I checked it and my APN is set correctly but "My location" stay always here
I think if it was set wrong so I would have still had no internet access with another apps, no ?
I think that only way is to create some pressure on HTC by opening the case on their support. So everybody who has such a problem should contact HTC support. Then they maybe do something with this issue.
Nothing happens ..... Still only "My Location"

I had an old or backup APN server set. I had internet etc but my location didn't work.
My brother had the same issues with his HD2. His APN also suddenly changed to an old APN. And because you are all from Slovakia you could check of these settings changed and if you're provider has an alternative apn.
are htc geo service and cll services running. You can check with dotfred taskmanager
Yes both services running ... :-(
Seriously Try This
I haven't heard anyone mention flashing their radio on their phone. Seems like you should try this. It take 5 min or less, and doesn't alter your phone in any other way. Below is a link.
If you search for this MY Location topic, you would find that most people were able to resolve this same problem by trying a few different radio's and seeing what happens.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
OK so I flashed new radio -> 4.49.25.77 and I can say only 2 things:
lower battery drain or better phone life with the current ROM (EVO 9.1) (it's on you-how you taking it )
with weather is nothing happens, it's same as with "My location" 4ever
So what's next ?
Well, I found a solution. Mentioned here a few posts above, I changed the APN portalmmm to Internet (provider here= KPN/Hi). Nothing happened. Then I deleted the text, so nothing is filled in at APN. And then 'My location' worked again.
Another tip at Tweakers.Net (Dutch forum): disable HDSAP
I tried it and:
without APN point I can't connect to internet=no weather update,which is logical
I disable HDSAP always after flashing ROM and also no change
I tried 2 different radios for my TOPAZ but it didn't resolve the problem with the showing only "My Location" :-(
