After upgrading to WM6 for my trinity i notice i cannot access the built in GPS with my tomtom software...is that common? ..is there a way to make the gps active??
Uhm, reflash the ROM or the Radio ROM?
Check if it's been set at COM9
Radio ROM 1.50 of 1.46
Takes up to 3 min after a flash to find the sattelites and be outside.
Solved
How did you solve this problem ??
mircha
Had the same problem
I had the same problem with my trinity. After I upgraded it to the wm6.1 elegance I was unable to get the GPS working.
After upgrade of the Radio to Ver. 1.38.00.11 problem was solved and I had the GPS back again.
Hope this will help.

i have UK SPV M700 with GPS enabled out of the box.
with Radio ROM 1.30.00.01.
I have flashed to Mun_Rus 2.00.SE
GPS works fine even though im only on Radio 1.30.00.01
do i REALLY need to upgrade & if i do what benefits will i see?
im starting to think if its not broke dont fix it!
The lastest one, that is reported stable, is 1.38. 1.41 is beeing tested.
Are you sure that it's 1.30.00.01 ?
Because only Radio finishing by 11 have gps. That's what I understood

I have a locked CID P3300, and today I could upgrade to wm6 using a great post in these forums, but when I installed TomTom6 and selected Internal GPS, TomTom indicates that no GPS was found, when I upgraded my device radio and ext rom couldn't be upgrade due upgrade restrictions, maybe this files doesn't upgrade are desabling my Internal GPS?
Thanks
Try to select in TomTom: the other NMEA GPS reciever.
At baudrate 4800 and on COM 4 TomTom is working great for me.

Ok I hope yours will work again after the WM5 downgrade! mine did not unfortunatly! but it can also be bad luck and my chip just did and it has nothing to do with upgrading..
If you need any rom please feel free to contact me..
I had some trouble with the rom also, GPS, WIFI..
I have a Dutch MDA III C originaly..
I got everything working by flashing is like so:
WM5 UK tmo -> WM6 O2 German. Stop at screen settings at first run of german rom -> Run WWE rom, complete install. -> Install Cert_SPCS and EnableRapi TO Internal storage, run Dutch WM6 rom..
Now got WIFI and GPS working..
Any other way of flashing get me stuck at boot or without GPS, WIFI or BT..
Camera works fine, speed is ok.. Seems faster then WM5.. But time will tell..
Thumbs up to the the maker of WWE and Dutch rom..

I have a MDA Compact III to, but the strange thing is that when I install the UK T-mobile rom and then try Tomtom it still does not detect a GPS device as it used to do! it always worked on the T-mobile rom and now all of a sudden it stopped working..
Downgrade finished right, now I have again wm5 and my TomTom works fine again, uffff !!!
I reviewed GPS Settings:
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (None) Baud rate: 4800
Yes Manage GPS automatically.
This weekend I will try again to upgrade to wm6, and I will use this settings to check if GPS works fine...
Device Info:
ROM Version: 1.12.405.1 WWE
ROM Date: 9/12/06
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocl version: 4.1.13.28
ExtRom version: 1.12.412.101
I used HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP to do the downgrade
I have the same problem, my GPS doesn't work any more, with NO GPS app! I have a German HTC and flashed the German O2 image. Downgrading is kinda difficult, didn't work. Does anyone have a German WM5 Rom? I'd rather put the old one back on there until a working GPS enabled version is out.

Wierd, do you have the original Tomtom shiped with the HTC?? I have a install cd from t-mobile, works fine if I flash from art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship to German O2 to Dutch custom.. Any other way of flashing then wifi, BT and GPS don't work on my device..
Did you installed some GPS app such us GPS viewer, or a navigation program such us TomTom?, because in WM6 Dutch Rom by bepe you will find in system sheet an icon called External GPS, there try to use the settings that I wrote in last post, and then use some GPS program to verify if GPS works or not...
Good Luck
My GPS is working after a soft reset, I think I messed up something with the ports, I use GPS Gate. Now everything is ok!!!
I have upgraded my HTC P3300 CID-Locked to WM6 and GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth are all working nicely. I am using iGO GPS application as well as several others.
Please tell us, wich wm6 did you used?, when I upgraded my HTC-P3300, I used WM6 Rom by bepe, but since my HTC is CID-Locked I only could upgrade OS using a post in these forums which talk about that... btw this weekend I will try again to upgrade to wm6 and then I will use GPS settings that I post before, and this time I will install those CAB (rapi and other CAB file which appears in procedure)
Check out my blog post of upgrading to WM6.
Hope it will be usefull.
hello,
this is probably a dumb question:
i read that you can enable the gps chip in this device with some kind of software update. can i install one of the wm 6 roms and use gps? is it included or do i have to do something special?
In my opinion every wm6 has gps enabled. I have never seen a rom here where gps wasn't enabled...
Actually, the GPS enable issue has nothing to do with WM6. WM6, as an operating system, takes use of the hardware GPS function which you have to enable from the Radio ROM. In order to do this you need to upgrade you Radio to one that enables the GPS by hardware.
When you upgrade to WM6 using the official rom you will also update the radio to a version which enables the GPS. Hope this helps. Most of the cooked roms on this site also have the GPS enabled.
Sorry, you are correct...
GPS has nothing to do with wm release.
The radio roms you gonna find here:

the original rom
I have a similar problem. I have been given an old (working) T-mobile Artemis. GPS worked fine - until I unlocked it so that I could use it with my O2 contract. Result - no GPS.
I've checked the device for any mention of GPS anywhere and there is none. QuickGPS button does not link to any program.
If you get any response I'd appreciate it if you could clue me in.
Thanks
Charlie

Also have the same problem...
t-mobile pda with new wm6 rom (not original).
The gps connects to satellites but slowly and uncontinously... my tomtom navigator 6 cannot find a valid gps signal even if the gps try to connect and the gps led light falshes...
any news?
(sorry for bad english)
Try upgrading the radio ROM (search xda dev for discussion on best ones)
My father and I both have wm6.5 with tomtom7. He gets a gps signal straight away in the same location as me, only difference is I downgraded my radio Rom to save battery drain. It takes me ages and I have to walk about to pick up the satellites.
So I recon the answer is in the radio rom which can be upgraded without changing your main rom.

Same Problem
Hi,
I've got the same problem and have tryed the newest radio.
Tomtom shows 6 satelites with very strong signal, but it doesent fix. The Satelites are all shown in the north on the same position. The rom has been flashed to original but it did not fix. Any ideas ?
Be glad you even have a signal!!! My Artemis isn't even getting a signal at all :-(
I've solved my problem....I've flashed with Tom_b_b_v3_wwe_650 ROM...and my GPS was alive......then I've flashed with my ROM..Arte_Love_WM61_21042_Simple...
Or...if you want ...you can stay with Tom's ROM...it work's very well.....

Sorry for my english and thx for help
hspl 1.93 olynex
radio 1.09.25.23
The only rom which is close to original rom is satus rom below but it has some annoying bugs which roms are like this but fewer bugs ?
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559928
problems not the ROM's, its more likely to be your Radio.
Install a newer Radio from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
I tryed many roms with different radios but GPS is not working. I ve tested radios 1.09.25.23 and 1.11.25.01. Even with official rom and official hot fixes from htc,also with htc gps tool and cold start but nothing ...
Considering you did try everything concerning radio and rom, i get the feeling you might have a hardware failure. I've had some GPS problems on various devices but was always able to solve them with the HTC GPS tool.
When and how did your GPS stopped working?
when I bought it gps was not working It came with hspl 1.40 olinex unsigned, and wm6.5. I even tryed garmiin 4 and tom tom 6 without results
i've got the same hspl as you with a wm 6.5 rom on it and a rather old radio (1.13.25.24). No problems using GPS in Googlemaps and TTNavigator (7.916.9189)
Lemme know if you wanna try any of them, can upload them for you.
Have you downloaded QGPS data?

Yes. Steps involved while testing.
Install google maps (if not in included in rom)
update quick gps
Install htc gps tool =>change mode to cold start
go outside and run google maps.
no improvement
I need your sggestion. I m searching for rom which is wm6.1 with tf3d 2.0 or tf3d 2.1 and very close to official one ??? Or is it possible to uninstall old touch flo from official rom and install 2.1 version or just updae to that version ???
