Hy guys!
I'm new to this forum. First post, but I'm reading other member's posts for a while, hope I didn't made a post in a wrong area.
I've just bought an Eten x500 PPC and I already have a problem with it.
The GPS is not working! And when I say not working, I mean it's dead (someone call 911).
It's not brand new. It's a second hand device. The first owner from which I got the phone, upgraded it to WM 6.0 After that, the GPS stopped working.
It's not a matter of warrenty since I'm not the one who bought it from the electronics shop.
Here is the deal:
I try to use the GPS but the device can't find any satellite. The blue light though, is flashing. But there are no satellites here. My car GPS is working fine.
I have Igo 2008 3d installed and running with no problem. I can see the maps, but there is no satellite connection. I've tried other versions of igo but with no success.
What can I do?
I'm new to PPCs world. I have never changed any ROMs or upgraded any device. If you have any clue about what is happening with my Eten x500 please let me know and I'll have a hot pizza and a cold beer for you when you stop by in my town.

Greatings From Beautiful Greece ,
Before One Week I bought my first PPC , a HTC TYTN
I Would like to know how to unlock the gps. Is it possible?
I Can only connect to the Destinator with the bluetooth adaptor and connect to the satelite.
Anyone Know how to crack this? Is it possible?
Is there any new update i can install in order to manage better my ppc.
I Heard WM6. How Can I setup a new Operating System? Will It work or will my PPC Crash and after i will need Service.
Thank u all.

TYTN does not have a GPS. There is nothing to unlock. (Well there suppose to be a chip but no antenna so its useless).
DO NOT MESS WITH YOUR OS!!!
A) Changing the OS without an official update from your cell company or the manufacturer of the device will void all warranty and you will have to pay for service if anything goes wrong.
B) Changing the OS on TYTN is very complicated and should not be tried unless you searched read several times uderstood and memorized all the steps.
Just enjoy your phone as it is for now because if you try to change ROM too soon you could end up with a very expensive paperweight! (Many people have)

I just want to confirm that I can run TT 6.03 normally on my french Orange SPV M650 without any other driver.
For me, I must use Kulbut0r's driver.
If you soft-reset your M650, do you already have GPS ?
The problem appears here. After rebooting the M650, GPS head doesn't work
After install kulbut0r's patch and rebooting again, GPS head perfectly works

I tried the soft reset, and my spv m650 works fine with GPS (40 seconds to get fix). Before with B&B3.7, I used kulbut0r's great driver, and i found a little problem which was the non accurate of fix on road.

biou, are you sure you're using FRANCE ORANGE SPVM650? coz maybe you do have spvm650, but not from france orange, that's why you don't experience any problem with your gps. coz with us french users, almost ALL of us do need to install kulbutor's fix before we get our gps to work. FRENCH SPV m650 DOES have a problem with using other rom besides the official french orange rom.
so the way i see it, since you're the only one who doesn't have this problem while the rest of us do, the only explanation i can have for this is that you don't have the same device (that is, the same branded orange spv french) as we do. there are many artemis spv m650-branded phones in europe, but perhaps yours isn't really branded by french orange?
Sorry, My SPV M650 was send directly by French Orange, and I didn't pay it because I used my “points".
I just want to tell that, my phone works fine without any other driver, I do not say anything others.
Biou, GPS of the M650 are definitively different from any other artemis, the checksum it should return to program is not the same, this is due to A GPS function implemented in chipset.
Maybe yours works with all driver, but you are surely the only one !!!
So don't say every where that GPS works on BBv4, i really thinks it works only on your mobile. And before saying that, please verify your information with others users !
And it could works few days and stop after. First patch ok kulbutor works one weeks on 3 mobile and without any reason, gps stop working and needed new patch.
"And before saying that, please verify your information with others users !"
what logic ? Before confirming that SPV M650' Gps has problems, I think that it would be more careful to verify with every M650, in stead of asking others who do not have problem to shut up!

the logic is that...
biou is the only one whose orange spv m650 does not have gps problem. if you read kulbutor's thread (almost everybody with french orange spv m650 read that thread, because it solves our problem), we are ALL agreed that our device's chipset is different than that of the normal htc or dopod-branded artemis. our gps doesn't work without kulbutor's patch. so that answers what you said... we have ALL verified and confirmed this gps problem with one another. you can read all our threads.
but biou, for some fortunate reason, does not have this same problem. okay, hurray... he's lucky. congratulations!
BUT HE'S THE ONLY ONE. there's no other orange spv m650 user who can say the same for his device.
and in my opinion, there's surely no need to begin a new thread everytime he flashes his device with a new rom and tell all the other m650 users that his gps worked fine. it's really not helpful especially for the newbies who can't get their m650's gps to work. and that's what this forum is all about. helping the others. not confusing them and make them think perhaps there's something wrong with the rom they flashed, or that their gps simply stopped working. neither would a thousand soft-resets might solve the problem. because it won't.
if some french m650 user with the same problem asked him, "hey biou, i flashed my device with tom's B&B4. but my gps stopped working. can you help me?" an answer with "i just did a soft-reset and my gps worked fine!" definitely will not help.
so you see the logic now?
For the moment All users of an SPV M650 have problems, you could look in every french forums...
There is only biou who don't have problems...
all is working perfectly (including tomtom GPS) for me with the aje release (1.4.2)
I've just tweaked a little bit to get the b&b4 like touch, in fact only Pocket CM and some visual improvements
kulbut0r's driver for GPS can't be downloaded from internet, because all links are dead for a so long time. Could anybody so kindly re-upload one for me?
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)

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.

Hello there,
What I Have: Att 8525 Herm100
Rom: Att's Mobile 6
Everything is stock but the extended life battery
The problem I am having is when ever I try to activate my WiFi the phone doesn't do anything. I am not sure if there is a wifi card or not but that's want I want to know. I have tried everything from activating it in com manager to going into the settings and activating it manually and nothing happens it acts like I didn't even hit the button to activate it. Is there a wifi card in the phone or is it integrated on the motherboard in the phone. Note: I bought this phone off e-bay and the wifi never worked when I received the phone.
I am new here and if there is a post about this already I am sorry.
I hate it when that happens.
To begin, there were two ATT OEM WM6 roms relevant to the 8525 that I noticed deep in the bowels of XGA.
I chose the later file (higher revision numbers) I found it here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
From comm manager when I click the tower button on within a second the spinning windoze icon shows something is happening. It then starts "sniffing" for my preset wifi connection (ATT supplied 2wire portal 802.11g).
Now, if yours does not show the spinning windoze working icon when you turn on wifi? There obviously is a problem. This could be software, or hardware related (duh). If there is no error message related to "wifi is not an option, unavailable, or screwed" then my first guess is there is something missing or damaged in the ROM update that was applied to your device. As far as I know all 8525 (herm100) were shipped with wm5. It had been mentioned in the volumes of xda that the first AT&T WM6 rom was a little buggy. Try the later released AT&T WM6 update.
It was a run file so no muss no fuss. Sync the phone run the update from the pc, three minutes later the phone is flashed to ATT WM6 professional.
You could take it to a ATT shop? But, I think that without a doubt they would hand it back and say you need a new phone with a 20 year contract and 3g data plan even Obama would blush at.
Try the hard reset. take a picture of the startup screens so you have the numbers and see if the wifi startup is working after the reset. If not then compare the numbers to the above mentioned roms. If the indications are you have the first issue of WM6 from ATT try flashing the second release. If that still fails then your device could indeed have a hardware problem.
The wifi is indeed built into the system and if that chip on the board is not working it could be a overly expensive problem. Possibly a shop has a working board they would swap out cheap? Otherwise, it is a fun phone you can keep notes on, run gps software if you have a bluetooth gps receiver and software like tomtom.
To be honest the wifi on my 8525 has been convenient when around the house to check the local weather radar when I hear a thunder outside, or browse headlines from the porcelain room or even leave messenger turned on incase a gamer friend is looking for someone to get shot up in a game.
I have used the live search voice thing to amaze the neighbors once. But, the limited range of wifi is a real drawback to how truly wonderful that addition could be.
HELP Please! Wi-Fi not working!!!
Hi to XDA all users !!!
MY Hermes - HTC TyTN [Herm200]
I bought HTC Hermes myself year ago.
there was flashed a WM5.0, I've just downloaded from here HARD SPL & WM6,1 (Custom) Flashed.
Wi-Fi will works on WM5.0.
Well here I am at 6.1 flashed and now is not working Wi-Fi. When i pressed Power ON - loading long and nothing happens.
Other methods are also tried on Commanager and Settings - but did not help.
What do I need to do my dear.
HELP!
Thank you for your attention!
Hi Nurk.
Since the wifi worked on wm5 but failed after the 6.1 flash. I would guess the problem is in the 6.1 components. You might start with contacting the kitchen rom you employed for WM6.1 thread and see if this has happened to others. Next step would be to check the radio rom version. I did see on xda an assortment of Radio roms.
If your not totally in love with the current rom you have flashed? Try another 6.1 or even a 6.5 and see whats poppin.
and what you have in HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\DeviceName?

Hello!
I'm with a big problem. I have a clone of Techfaith Lampson (Ndrive S300) and upgraded it with windows mobile 6.5 ROM Kitchen 5.0 by vivi and Base ROM 6.5.3 Build 28004 v043 PT (h**p:\\w*w.gsmin.com\forum\showthread.php\40643) After the upgrade, all things worked fine. Internal gps antenna worked fine to! But 2 months later, gps antenna stopped working sometimes. I had tested it in large open spaces, and gps software returns the message "No GPS avaiable". I waited minutes and hours and the software returned the same message! But sometimes if I take out the battery and put it in place again, the software recognises the internal gps antenna, but othertimes even this trick doesn't work! What can I do to repair this problem? HELP ME PLEASE!!! And sorry about my english...
