quickgps on a unlocked spv m650

Hi,
i had an spv M650 with orange operator.
Now, i have unlocked it and i had changed my sim card for vodaphone but i don't know how to use quickgps instead agps from orange because the application quickgps is not integrated in the pda.
I have tried to put the quickgps files into the windows directory but it doesn't works.
actually, the fix is very, very, very long.
someone can help me to solve my problem please ?

I have the same problem. But I reflashed my SPV M650 in HTC P3300 french ROM, I now have GPSRAPIDE which is french name of quickgps. still the quickgps servers are still down. I can not get any upgrade of gpsfix.

I called HTC french support team, they told me I should change the "Port matériel GPS" on com9, and bauds débit at 9600.
Now my tomtom can get gps for about 1-2 minutes near the windows inside the room. I didn't try in open area. But my GPSrapide still does not get connected to any server.

Internal GPS doesn't work with German ROM

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.

hi there strangely enoough I have the same problem GPS does not work anymore.. to make it even worse I have flashed a T-Mobile WM5 ROM back and NO GPS and before I had GPS with this ROM, I tried HTC ROM, T-Mobile, DOPOD AND with all NO GPS! this is very weird!
Pocha can you try to flash a WM5 rom back an tell us if your GPS worked again?

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.

PDAVIET B&B V3.7, No GPS SUPPORT?

Great job by TOM, Thanks, but I found some bugs, perhaps just for my device original M650:
I installed TOMTOM 6.030, which worked fine on B&B V3. Now TOMTOM can not find GPS peripheric, can not select com port (screen just blocked). I want to know it just happens to me or others meet the same problem?

lol
Isn't you yesterday that said HTC P3300 and M650 are simillar ??!!
Well, you can see now that's not true !!!
So before to make any comment on the jobs of others, please verify your information !!!
GPS of the M650 and the HTC P3300 aren't the same !!

Ahhhh, now I see! I guess reading this thread was too much trouble?

How you explain my M650 worked very well with B&B V3?; and it worked well also on HTC WWE WM6?

Now I'm back to P800W WWE WM6. Everything is ok, but I really want B&B UI.

But why ignore that so many others did have trouble with M650's and found a solution. The M650 is supposed to use the a-GPS system.
Did you try the solution highlighted in the thread linked above to get B&B 3.7 to work with your a-GPS system?

Well, in fact kulbutor have found the solution, the rom have to be recooked to include the correct driver...

Because, B&B v3 works fine, and I don not like A-Gps.

sorry for being stupid but...

hi gajet! i'm sorry for asking, and i may really just be stupid but.... i don't find the highlighted solution in the thread? please, can you help me out? because at first i thought that the solution mentioned in that thread is for b&b v3 only? i used the link given by kulbutor in the adinitum. but that is for v3 only, am i right?
but how about for v3.7? how do i make my gps working? i don't mind a-gps like boiuo, as long as my gps is working.
thanks a lot for your help!!!

I'm not the best person to ask as;
1, I don't own an M650, I have a HTC Hero
2, My french isn't good enough to actually read the linked thread.
There clearly is a linked file, which would be a WM6 patch rather than specifically for B&B 3, I would expect the patch to work equally as well in B&B 3.7
aje_fr Is probably a better person to ask.

Le GPS ne marche pas sur la v3.7.... Même avec le patch que viens de faire Kulbutor....
Il marche au début mais après un soft reset, plus rien...

SPV M650 WM6 GPS Out of order !

Hi everyboy,
Firts of all i want to let you know how happy was when i dicovered this forum !
I've been spendieng a long time uppon this forum and other one and i didn't find any woking answer. I it does exists please let me know i'll have a look to the link you'll give to me !
So here is my problem :
I have a SPV M650 (from Orange). I've been using it for a long time and it woked welll. I heard about news rom in WM6 :
- First i tried to upgrade in Aje_fr 1.8 full. Everything was OK but the GPS did'nt work anymore with TT 6.02 neither with another software!
- So i decided to take an "official" rom from HTC (i use this one HTC_P3300_FRA_3.13.406.1). My GPS still out of order with TT 6.30.
I decided as i saw in the differents topics to put my SPV in original rom configuration. The GPS works with TT 6.02 as at the first time.
- So i tried Aje_FR 1.8 and it doesn't wortk with it neither with HTC WM6 ROM.
- I tried to patch with Kulbuto but there's nothing to do GPS stills mute !
I know that some of you guys are pretty good by programming their smartphone and i will be very interesting by using one of the Aje_fr Rom but please help me to make my GPS a working one.
Thank you for you help.
Kilout

I also got spv m650 from orange with Aje_fr1.8 Medium and it work pretty well.
Are you sure you executed the GPS cab (with or without AGP) as explain by Aje_fr after upgrading then soft reset your mobile?
For Tomtom the best is choose 'Other NMEA GPS' on port COM4 with 9600 bauds.

It works !
Thank you for your answer,
I didn't soft reset after applying AGPS ON cab.
It seems to work well !!
Bye bye !

GPS not communicate to any software on P3300

Hi i have P3300 flashed B&B v.5 (original FR wm5) and integrate GPS dont wanna comunicate to any port. I've tried an test with HTC GPS Tools on COM 4, no satelite detected and position not fixed. What I have to do? Return my device to original rom or stay in B&B??? sorry for my bad english

I haven't used the HTC GPS tools that you mentioned, so sorry if this is redundant, but have you verified...
start menu\settings\system\external GPS is set to:
GPS Program Port: COM4
GPS Hardware Port: None
Baud Rate : 4800
Manage GPS automatically: ticked (yes)

Yes, everything that you mentioned was checked frist but no satelite signal in TomTom6. I found after HTC GPS Tools (Niki topics), the test didn't give any result. What is the problem

You don't happen to have an M650, do you?

Thanks for your kindness, but my device is a real HTC P3300. I don't know if it could also be fixed the same way with this

Not sure if you tried the fix in the link above, but wanted to add you could try flashing a different rom just to see if gps functions work in it. I tried a version of a rom and had no activesync capability, but tried a different version of the same rom and it works great. I think sometimes a particular rom and a particular phone do not get along. Trying a different rom might confirm if it's a hardware or software problem for you. That fix above looks promising too.

GPS Tuner
Thanks for your advise. I recently tested a software, GPS Tuner. When open, it showed a popup in french, my ROM is B&Bv5 now,
"Your GPS receiver is not configured yet. Do it now [Configure it Now][Later]"
If I click on [Configure it Now], it seems to work in 2" and block totally my device after. What it means?

I'm not familiar with that, so I don't know. Sorry. Unless someone else has a fix, I suggest hard resetting then flashing the same ROM again. If that does not work then choose a different ROM and see if you have different results.

HELLO DEAR LPZ GO TO VISUALGPSCE AFTER AGREE THEN GO FILE THEN CONFIGURATION THEN UNITS DISTANCE/SPEED=STSTUE AND ALTITUDE/ELEVATION = FEET AND POSITION FORMAT ddd mm.mmmm is all thing correct then ok and enjoy:

Hi all,
I tested VISUALGPSCE but it didn't work either. I retrograde in basic ROM now in hopping my GPS will work
