i bought samsung sgh i780. not from orange. the button which should start the gps is not mapped to any program.
there is no gps application, in the system there is just ext gps apps where i can set if i want to download the data (it deosnt work anyway).
as in the box was no manual, i downloaded it from german samsung site. there is written, that gps dont have to be available in all countries. im not sure if they mean gps hw or installed sw?
i know that in certain 780 the gps must be unlocked, but is it my case? is there a gps at all?
anybody can help me?
I have the same problems. No bloody manual, just a quick start guide.
GPS???
I finally made the gps work. Anyway, in regards of manual, I found it on the german samsung web (german/english version)
what is the solution ?
I've just received mine this morning and want to upgrade it to WM6
as my house mate has wm6 on his vodaphone pda & his g/f had a small htc thing from orange. both on wm6.
I've used meschle's guide to putting USPL Software on.
But I'm extrememly confused as to what software rom I've got to download to install
on my device.
and quite importantly as a new person to this device some good pointers as to how to go about it.
Many thanks
Steve
I cant believe so many people have looked and not one reply ...
can someone please point me in the right direction to an answer ....
My advice is to look in the "Artemis Upgrading" forum
You will find a few guides at the top explaining; why, how and where from.
Right I've managed to upgrade to WM6 using the unlocking CID section too.
My problem now is that the GPS Icon in the control panel is now external GPS instead of INTERNAL GPS like it was before and my tomtom software will not see the internal gps now.
Whats going on ?
if it's anything the same as I had ( newbie too ) goto start/settings/external gps and set the port to 4 then change tomtom to this port.
Hope it helps worked for me
P.s. as for rom I spent a couple of days reflashing but I stuck with Bepe full cube cause I like it, only draw back is that it has tomtom 7 built in and I haven't located the correct maps for it yet
HI,
at "external GPS" on the last page activate the checkbox (should be GPS automatic configuration) Let the other options unconfigured.
than at TomTom's GPS Options, choose "internal GPS"
I have the original HTC WM6 installed, and it works perfectly.
I just unlocked with coke 2.31 & NFSFAN's 6.5 21864 SYS/XIP V1.00 GENERIC CARRIER ROM, did the carrier cab etc. everythings working great except I can't seem to get the GPS working. Am I not patient enough... I've tried google maps & naviComputer and it just keeps saying searching. I also ran "Turn aGPS Off" so I wouldn't have to rely on data plan.
In GPS veiwer lots of numbers etc. come up, but it won't get my location (maybe I don't know how to use this) What do I need to do yet to get GPS working?
hmm.

this thread should help you.
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!

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)?
