How to enable GPS with HTC p3600

hi
How to enable the GPS with HTC P3600 my ROM IS 1.17.415.3
THANKS FOR HELP

rom upgrades, either here or from htc itself if it is really an HTC-branded device

from where can i have the recent rom

Lol I wish we could just enable GPS in Touch like we can in Trinity....
There is hidden quad-band but I doubt there is GPS in my Touch.
And as for the ROM, you can get it from the HTC site.

please can any body send me the link
thanks

Just go safe for a start...
Hello, I guess you must be kidding since you already have 81 post, I don't think you are so unaware of Trinity stuffs...
Anyway, in case your request was serious, here below is the HTC club's registration link.
You just register, and then using your IMEI number, you just download the suitable GPS enabled rom for your device, according to your brand or unbrand, and your geographic area.
Just go safe and start using GPS with a safe official rom.
When you feel more confident, you'll find plenty of wm6 rom on this forum, cooked or rebuilt.

thank u very much for your reply
yes i am old in the forums but with my old imate pda2k i got this HTC only 2 days ago.
the second thing i already registered in the HTC club and added the IMEI of my HTC but they informed me that there is no new updates for it
any idea
thanks

update your signature with your new phone details
No problem, my pleasure to help in the extend of my limited knowledge.
OK, let's start from the beginning:
could you update your signature in order to let us know which version of rom, radio, protocole etc. you're running.
And can you tell also in which area you bought your device, this will decide which rom you can safely flash your phone with.
But what I can already understand from what you are saying is that your present rom is already up to date and fully GPS enabled like every rom since april/may 2007, and even earlier for some branded releases of the Trinity, like dopod in Asia (february 2007) or Vodaphone (march 2007).
What you need now is two steps:
1) first of all make the settings icon of GPS showing up in your settings/connexions tab.
(there is a registry tweak to do that, or more simple, just use trinityhacks v0.3 that you can find by making a search on this forum)
2) find an application that uses GPS:
tomtom navigator, gps tuner etc.
You can try a free one for a start: GPS Test, that you can find by using google.

thank you for your help
from my new signature u can know now that i still have old rom that is not supporting GPS.
i bought my HTC from saudi arabia
i know that there is update to my rom as i contacted HTC support and they already inform me that i have an update but when i put my IMEI number in the support site they informed me that there is no update rom suites my version

I've got the whole picture now...
OK
1) your rom, radio rom etc. are too old to activate the GPS on your device
So you'll need not only an OS upgrade, but also a radio rom one.
2)
to go safe and use a rom that is allowed by your device's CID, you'll need an English ROM, unbranded, for HTC P3600.
The GPS enabled version of ROM is 1.23.X.X for the ROM, and 1.38.X.X for the radio.
You can find a link on this forum (rapidshare, megaupload etc. for en official English rom of that type.
I'll also have a look for you. I could upload my old ROM for you, but no luck, it's a French one, so not compatible with your CID.
3) if you are brave enough (but it's all under your own responsibility if you brick your device...) you can try that too:
- use 'trinity unlock' or 'SPL_trin' or the new one 'olibro'that you can find on this forum to allow other brands ROM installation.
- flash your device with the official dopod ROM SEA for South-East-Asia in English (that I am running myself at the moment).
I suggest you use the one without radio, spl-ipl, extended rom.
It's safe since there is no risk of conflict with your present device locks.
- then you upgrade your radio with radio 1.46.X.X also from the Dopod's ROM.
This is what I've done, without all the hassles and risks that brings the full ROM update when it's not official HTC P3600 release compatible with your CID.
A thread where they talk about the official upgrade you are looking for, in English:

Here you go for English official
added in my last post

realy many thanks for you
i have downloaded the official rom and the new radio.
i will try to use them
again many thanks for your help

give us some feedback when you can
You're welcome.
It's a pleasure to help.
Don't forget to give us some feedback about your flashing process and result.
Once you've installed the new ROM, use trinityhacks to make the GPS visible and start using it, with 'GPS Test'. The GPS chip is not the fastest, so make sure you are outside, ideally with a good weather and not too many buildings over your head for the first try.

i will
thanks again

hi friend
i did upgrade my HTC P3600 TO
rom version 1.23.405.2
rom date 03/11/07
radio 1.41.00.11
protocol 32.74.7020.18h
extrom 1.23.405.103
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT TO USE GPS
I TRIED TO USE TOM TOM NAVIGATOR BUT I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THERE IS NO ENOUGHT MEMORRY
THEN I USED OTHER SOFTWARES THAT ALL FAILED TO FIND GPS
THANKS AGAIN

Hello,
nice to hear from you again.
As I told you in my previous post, the first thing to do wasn't to use Tomtom, but to make your GPS show up.
I suggest you first do a hardreset, in order to erase all the GPS softwares installations that you may have failed in the meantime.
1)
For a start, you should have first use Trinityhacks to add the GPS icon in your settings/connexions tab.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303657&highlight=trinity+hacks
(you could have found it yourself on the forum, by making a keyword search as I just did)
2)
After reboot, U'll see your GPS and check is settings that should GPD1 and most important communication port 9, plus its speed, expressed in bauds.
3)
after that, use a freeware called GPS Test (do a google search, u'll find it) and install it.
It will find itself your GPS on the right port. If it doesn't, just use the settings u've seen in the first step (com port 9 and highest speed you can)
4)
it should show looking for gps and then, gps starting up
it will search for a while before getting the fist lock (fix) on the sattelites)
when it starts, it's written 1D view, but when the fix is done, it will be 3D plus the location of the place where you are.

I suggested you to not start with tomtom from the beginning since it's not the easiest software to use with GPS, at first.
Some versions of tomtom does recognize the internal GPS without any special settings, but some doesnt, so you'll have to choose 'NMEA device' and then set it on the port com number 9.
But, try this freeware called GPS Test first, and tell me what it shows.

dear friend
thank you again for your help
really your are wonderful,
the GPS icon was shown by other way that i could find here in the forums by which i did some registery changes that showed the GPS icon in the connections.so i used this icon to adjust the com port to com 9 and to use intermediate speed.
then i used the navigon 6 program that i found how it use it in details in one Arabic forum
and it worked very nice with me.
i think i will not use tom tom again
thank you very much

Good news, you finally got your GPS up and running. Congrats.
Yes, the registry tweaks do just the same thing, and it's more challenging to do it that way, in the meantime you understand better how your device works.
I suggest (except if you've heard something different from your documentations) that you just let your GPS at its maximum speed, 115 200 bauds.
At the contrary, you can decide for each program using the GPS to set it to the full speed or to just use a part of it, but the GPS itself should be ready to give as much as it can.
I've never tried that software you mentioned. If it works so well, I might give a try sometimes. Thanks for the information.

i was informed to keep the speed at 57600 i will try to make it max
this navigon is simple to be used and a bit lite and has maps for some arabic countries
thanks again

I have a m700 and tomtom just auto detects the internal gps.
when I go to the gps config it says internal gps. there's no baud rate or port to configure.
I'm guessing you have the wrong radio rom or are bypassing some tomtom auto-config.
Try reinstaling the latest radio and tomtom

thank you for your reply, have tried several radio roms and still no go

try original htc rom...

Need help : GPS doesn't work

Hi all !
I think this forum is the more appropriated to explain my problem.
I've a Orange M650 and GPS work great until last week. Now, the GPS navigation software doesn't catch any satellite ; but the orange led is blinding.
I tried to flash the phone with the touch rom and I've the same problem.
My parameters are :
GPS program port : COM4
GPS hardware port : (None)
Baud rate : 4800
Manage GPS automatically
This parameters worked great under tomtom but today it won't synchronize at all.
Thank you for your help !

There is a problem with the GPS on M650 after flashing another rom. Search the forums for "M650 GPS". There is a patch somewhere. It worked for me, but i still think it's not 100% ok. Better than nothing.

Hi.
Thank for your answer, but I tried several patches (kulbutor, .cab included into Aje's rom, ...), and the result is worst : led doesn't blind anymore

Try flashing the original rom back, if u can find it. If u register on htc.com e-club you can download a rom with windows mobile 6. Unfortunately my artemis seems to have been bought in Italy, so i got a rom in italian. If all else fails, try an authorized service.
I have attached the cabs I installed over one of meschle's touch 4.01 roms. Use both of them.

I've installed SdkCerts and configured the GPS manually in Tomtom and now it works !
Thank you !!!

Gps Problem

Don

good luck

Hi
same thing for me
cant found gps after flashing orange rom to p3300 original rom with tomtom
com4 window manage gps
how i can resolve problem
br
toze

similar problem
Same problem with me...
I have the rom no_nonsense_5 that was supposed to have the gps problem fixed...
I can find the gps device on the com port number 3 with a nice utility i found on the web thath can scan the ports to find out all the devices connected.
But even if i set the hw port on 3 and the automatic gps control i can't see the gps working.
When I start my tomtom navigator 6 i set it up to find the anema (wtf is that?) gps device on port 3 with 4800 I can see the satellite connection working, but really slowly and uncontinously... (also with another utility called gps test).
I cannot understand if the problem is:
-the rom
-tomtom
-hardware
-radio-rom (can anyone explain me what is the "radio-rom"?? I tryed to find out information but I really couldn't find anything... noob...).
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance..

Flash with this ROM and you will have GPS again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410912

The radio-rom is a special rom for the hardware of your cellphone, something like a firmware to keep it simple. You can flash a different radio rom that might change the battery drain, the signal quality of the phone, wifi, bluetooth, GPS,... without having to reinstall your 'normal' rom.
There is nothing like a 'best' radio rom. Alot of people have different experiences with the same rom. You just need to go and try for yourself.

Great work! Rom installed. I've installed manilla 2D from this post and showcase.
Seems to work fine, will let you know in bugcase(s).
Thanx again for the rom.

Hi.
Just for information, on my phone, I was unable to get my position working with the built-in version of google maps. I've just installed the latest version, and it works like a charm.
I've also removed manila because of the non presence of misscall in the home tab, and get back to titanium.
here's a cap of my phone, using jmltoday plugin with a personal skin on the wm7 titanium project. If someone need the skin, I can upload it.
Hdubli: Do you think it could be possible to make a rom based on version 6.5.3 (28002) ?
Thanx again.

Thanks!
Thanks a lot.
Will report soon.
Guess this one will run GPS apps .
And please upload the Dump WWE...just in case....as it is too early after purchasing.

IE not opening
The internet explorer is not opening ... it asks if you want it to be default browser or not and then it exits.
And has anyone used GPS apps like Satguide-Destinator or MMI successfully?
If yes then please provide settings-tweakings if any.
Thanks.

Same problem for me with ie, but I've installed opera mini.
What kind of problems do you have with gps apps?
Just one thing about this rom, it seems to eat my battery a little bit too much fast.

Problems..
IE not working....not that it matters...who uses it anyway.Opera 10 is wayyy better.
MMI ( Mapmyindia ) doesn't show GPS signal. Same with the Destinator and Satguide.
The built in GPS viewer does connect with the GPS though.
So what's the procedure( A step by step guide will be welcome) to use GPS app in this phone?
My Asus P320 / P527 shows sat signals within 2-3 min.
Any suggestions.
Come on guys ....somebody must be using GPS on this!

Try to set the gps apps to use com7 manually?

GPS success!....but strange problem
GPS working...I first connected - locked the GPS viewer in the Utilities and then launched the GPS app.It worked for me.
But now the Device is displying in red letters " ERROR " and nothing else.
All apps are running smooth in the background but today screen is showing this ERROR screen?
I am using SPB shell 3.5.
No other themes or screen savers are installed.
Any suggestions/solutions?
And please somebody post the original-shipped ROM

Error screen!
Here is the screen shot.
The phone & PDA work fine.
I can exit the ERROR screen by using the hard keys!
Is it because of SPB Shell 3.5?
And still no success with MMI , Satguide works(but its map sucks).
Edit: MMI finally working.Don't know the reason.
