GPS Photos issue - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hello,
I have my P3300 equipped with RAM Tom 4.3 and every thing went ok as far as GPS Photo concerns until recently. For unknown reason, the GPS can't get any satellite and still freezing on the research window. For information the GPS is working perfectly with my navigation software.
Any idea and possible help please.
Thanks

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.
This fix is for SPV M650(ARTEMIS)

In This plase-contacts of your internal GPS antena
when you try to connect satelites try to push this place-may be your antena have no contact with plate....
Thank you, it works! Vovander80, if you like, we can speak Chinese. Cheers!

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,

Thanks for the help. There is no Link in your Link. The link does not work at all. Please repost it. Thanks

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.

TOM TOM doesn't work anymore

Hi all,
from few days ago my TOM TOM on my trinity is stopped to work.
I'm using ROM: 3.51 Claros and 1.46.00.11 as Radio.
It is very strange because suddenly it stops to work. Using other GPS software, like win fast navigator or GPSTest, it can find some satellites for a bit but without fixing them.
What should be the problem?
There is my friend having the same configuration (radio and rom) ant it works properly.
I would like to install the original rom (WM5) or install the latest radio (1.56...), what is your suggestion?
Regards
Leandro

I have a Loox PDA and have had the same sort of problem, either taking a long time and getting no fix despite seeing lots of satellites, or getting a fix from just a few satellites but with a positional error of about 300 metres. In each case the problem appears to be a corruption of the satellite data in the GPS "chip"/memory. In the case of my device there is a rear cover switch which is a bit unreliable, but I have also had a loose battery. Both of these cause corruption in the GPS chip/memory. Taking the battery out and reseting the device cures it every time. I wonder if you have a similar problem? It doesn't just affect TomTom but any software you have running. Restarting in this way can eliminate that as a cause.

Hi fingerstoo and tnx very much for the reply.
The problem come out also running other GPS software...maybe is a GPS issue.
I tried to take off the battery for 8 hours and I fixed the problem but only for 1 time. After the rebooting, the gps fixing issus came out again.
Currently I installed a cooked rom, I would like to install the original one (WM5) and test again. What's your feeling?

Hi ordnael, I think it is definitely worth going back to WM5, even if only to try to solve the problem. I suggest that after you go back and with your device in "factory state" i.e. no additional software installed at all, re-install TomTom afresh from card/file or CDROM. Do not use backup software to restore TomTom. This should eliminate the possibility of hardware/software settings, or installed software interferring with the GPS.
If it works, then you do not have a hardware problem. If it doesn't work, then you obviously do have a hardware problem.
If it works, then gradually re-install all your other software, starting with any other GPS software first and see if it interferes or stops TomTom working.
Are you using TT6 or TT7? Oh, and I don't think the radio function should have anything to do with the GPS, however, I don't have your device so I may be wrong......

Tnx very much for your reply.
I would like to update you about the latest changes!
(Just to clarify that the problem raises also during execution of other GPS software, so this is not a TOM TOM issue!)
Anyway, I removed the battery for 8 hours (to reset the GPS) and then the TOM TOM and "GPSTest" software worked fine. 10 sec to fix the satellite (excellent). But after 4/5 hours, I tried to run the GPS Software and the problem come back again , so I starting to think that GPS works fine but only for a bit! Should be overheat problem or client software problem... what you think?
Ciao

You failed to say whether you reverted to the old operating system,WM5 or "factory state" with no other programs installed! If you did not do this then it could still be "other" software or settings causing GPS to fail after a time. For example, some other program could be gradually filling up memory and causing the GPS data to be corrupted or lost, or some interaction between running programs or processes.
If your results ARE with a nearly empty/reverted operating system device as I described previously, then it does look to me that you do have a hardware problem. As you say, it may be an overheating issue or an internal circuit intermittent fault that gets worse with time, either memory, GPS chip(s) or circuit board connections inside.
But I stress, you must try with a totally clean and reverted device to be absolutely certain.

T32 GPS Rom (Daxian)

I am opening a new thread because nobody replied to the gps issue some people have after flashing the Daxian t32 gps version phone with the "Dixian_x999_T32.zip" file.
(forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-390574.html)
Does anybody know how to activate the internal gps?
Does anybody have a rom that works with the gps version of that phone? - That would be great!
I tried several gps drivers (gpsmod and others) and none worked. I tried some standalone applications to talk to the gps as well as TomTom7 and google maps and none worked.
Somehow the gps connects to the satellite and gets the correct time stamp (TomTom with gpsmod driver) but it does not get any coordinates.
Is there a missing entry in the registry that activates the gps?
Help is appreciated, somone has to know how!

GPS not workign

Hello together,
i have my desire now since nearly two month. Im relly happy with the phone. But one problem:
GPS is not working, i don't get a GPS fix.
It didn't work as I had the phone completely new neither now after i rooted it. I already tried a couple of different radios but my phone doesn't find any satelites.
Does anybody else has the problem? Is this just a software bug or is the hardware damaged?
If I have to send it back to HTC, do you know how long does it take till i get my phone back? Im based in germany.
Thank you very much for your help!
best regards
Tom
I only have my desire 2 days now, it has a orange uk branded phone, so I unbranded it to a stock htc rom, and I have the same problem as you, it takes ages to lock a gps signal.
Today it took 30minutes to lock the gps signal on my ndrive.
I don't have a problem with my GPS on my Orange debranded Desire, what ROM are you debranding with?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I use this one because of the portuguese language:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684.exe
Do you use any program to help catch the gps signal?
Regards
I lost mine with a radio update, had to use 32.30.00.28U_405.00.11 to get GPS working again. Which radio do you have?
NDrive has problems locking with the Desire's GPS. Launch NDrive, press home button, enable the GPS and goto NDrive again. That works for me most of the times.
Or use Google Maps to get a fix and then launch NDrive.

Thanks, i will try that, as soon as I can I will report if it works.
Thanks again
I tried it with these radios:
32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2
32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
And with none of them I got GPS fix.
I tried it also with differnt applications:
Google Maps
Navigon
GPS Status
GPS Test
But without success, no GPS fix at all
Oh by the way, i tried it also with the Stock ROM and with OpenDesire 1.4 and OpenDesire 1.5
€: I use now OpenDesire 2.1 with the newest Radio 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
I still don't have any chance to find a satelite. Has anyone an idea to fix the problem?
i don't know if it's allowed on this board, i just wanted to push my message to the first page, after it was now on page 15. Perhaps anyone has an idea about fixing the problem.
Thank you!
All that worked for me was trying the radio I had originally (before I started playing around). You tried any of the older ones?
Hi,
I also now have a problem with GPS fix. First I have overheating & reboot problem, then MB were replaced & now I can't get fix (no satellites at view at all). I hope that this is software related (although I do not use GPS much). So probably somebody knew how to perform cold reboot of GPS sensor (I perform this with previous Touch Diamond to bring GPS back to life)?

[q] only problems with commercial gps-software on galaxy s!

hello!
as i haven't found a thread comparable to what I experience with commercial gps software, I decided to start one.
i have tried NAVIGON, SYGIC MOBILE, ANDNAV2 and finally COPILOT 8. Of those, only ANDNAV2 worked satisfying, the rest either crashed already at the start or got no gps lock.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
In google-maps and google-navigation i am getting a very good signal, I have improved it with gps fix, gps aids etc.
has anybody any idea, why the galaxy s seems to defy anything that doesn't come from GOOGLE??!? http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
it's quite frustrating, and I have read similar experience on other forums.
thanks, yours, david
Hi, for me is the same. Yesterday I tried with Sygic and it was ok, today no gps lock. But if I go to NDrive 10 or google maps then I got a lock. Quite estrange behavior.
i find iGo for android is the best..
