GPS not working - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi all,
what could be the reason my GPS is only working after a hard reset (factory reset) and only for a short time.
I installed no software at all after the last factory reset but after a while i had no GPS (Google Maps) anymore.
Then installed PockeTTY and connected to COM4 (that's the port Start | Settings | System | external GPS told me), but no data at all.
My actual settings are COM4, Hardware port none, 4800 Baud, Manage automatically.
Have you got any idea? Can it be a hardware fault though it works after a hard reset?
Thanks, Franky

is this also known as dopod 800w?

Yes, it is dopod P800W.
Make sure:
Setting->System->GPS->Program is set to COM4
Setting->System->GPS->Hardware is set to None
Setting->System->GPS->Access "Manage GPS automatically" is checked
configure your GPS program to use COM4
Thanks for that
when I set this as above, in GPSgate 2.0 I still get "Running" and "No data coming in"
any ideas anyone ?

Power Setting
Pocket PC devices that are running Windows Mobile turn on at midnight to search for appointments for the coming day. Reminders are set and the Today view is updated with the day's events, thus on Battery power, turn off device if not used for 1 minute, Backlight on battery power: 30 seconds.
You can adjust whatsoever you want, the rule is turn off device > turn off backlight.
TODAY Plug-ins:
Better you uninstalled all today plug-ins thrid party progs.
Installed programs on SD/CF running in memory sometimes not respond after you turn on from automatic battery turn off.
It takes between 3-5 seconds to get response and/or sometimes program automatically closed by itself.
Solution: installed the programs in DEVICE.
Tips: Remove any unnecessary files in memory storage, so you will have more ROM memory storage.
After I turn on the device(2490b) from automatic battery turn off every time the backlight on battery power change to 10 seconds, no matter which setting I was choose. Until the device power off(auto or manually) the setting works, but after power on the setting change to 10 seconds again. Have anyone else this issue? Any solution?

Uhmm strange, try to do clean reset whether the symptom disappear.

Dear All,
Please pay attention that after making changes, installing new software or doing your usual software settings it is advisable to power off your device before soft-resetting.
Example, I recently setup my Inbox mail accounts and soft resetted my device in a usual way. After a soft reset I found out that none of my accounts was actually kept. So, I did setup again, powered off my device and soft-resetted it. After soft-reset all mail accounts were saved and were workable
To limit CPU Usage
1.Do the Activesync Fake server trick then turn all schedule to manual
To prevent Compaction
1.As much as possible free your program memory and install all programs in the SD of CF (if possible)
2.Move all cache to SD or CF (memmaid or SKtools can do this)
Registry: ActiveSync Manually
The above Activesync fix will also fix the problem many are having with not being able to turn on their WM6 unit.
JUST TO MAKE SURE ACTIVESYNC IS MANUALLY ACTIVATED:
You can also check the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ActiveSync\Engines\{176F 4FFD-F20C-4bd4-BDD7-01D0726C567B}\Settings] SyncAfterTimeWhenCradled (x)
Where x is one of the following:
0=Manually synchronize
5=5 minutes. Default value.
15=15 minutes
30=30 minutes
60=60 minutes
120=2 hours
240=4 hours
Here is real fix for A2DP problem on any custom hx2000 firmwares (e.g. 3.50, 3.52, WM6).
Download this cab file: Udillak_A2DP_Fix_for_hx2000_custom_firmwares.cab
Install it, make softreset and relax with working sound and controls of your bluetooth headphones.
Hello,
Since I've installed WM6 on my hx2790b it's great for everything but the PIM...
It's impossible to add a contact, an appointment, etc... It tells me "An unexpected error has occurred in this program." And it's impossible to synchronize the PIM with my PC
Any idea ?
Try to flash rom again, but you must do clean reset before (holding 1+power+3+ and stylus-reset). After successful update, u must do a clean reser again (on screen "formatting ps").
Synchronizing with PC, you must use the latest ActiveSync 4.5.

Calibrating your Battery
Read this:

Calibrating your Battery
Power issues you may experience with your iPAQ over time:
* Unit fails to Power On
* Unit fails to charge 100% only holding 50% of the charge
Important: If you experience problems with power on your unit the fault may not be with the main battery. Swap testing the battery with a known good working battery may show the same fault. Calibrating your unit by running the 'Battery Calibration' test may resolve 'Power Related Issues'. You must follow the tests below exactly for good results.
1. Charge the unit for 30 minutes (No More, No Less) only powered by AC Adapter and 22-pin connector and not connected to the PC/Cradle (make sure the unit is switched/powered off).
2. Remove the power and full 'Hardware Reset' and then 'Soft Reset'.
3. Charge the unit again for 4 hours connected to ac power only. By following the procedure exactly as outlined in the steps above this will enable full calibration of the battery with the unit (make sure the unit remains switched/powered off during this charge period).
Note: After a software reset the power Leds (Light Emitting Diodes) should now be on and the battery should be showing 100%. If the unit still fails on power do the following checks:
*Test the AC Adapter at another location/power source.
*Swap test The AC Adapter if possible.
THIS WILL HELP BATTERY DRAINED ISSUE of WM6.0 in some HX2000 series; USING SKTOOL or MEMMAID:
1. KILL BioDtect in Windows Startup
2. Set Credant Manager in StartupService as MANUAL and STOP.
3. Set Standby into 24 Hr in Power Setting
4. Soft reset
5. DO NOT EVER EVER RECHARGE YOUR IPAQ USING USB in the CRADLE!!! RECHARGE YOUR IPAQ USING CABLE POWER SUPPLY ADAPTOR!!!
Bricked My Ipaq! hx2795... HELP!!
Hi,
I just got an Ipaq hx2795 and I upgraded to WM6, and it worked perfectly!. However, I saw a supposedly upgraded version of WM6 and i tried to install it, and too hastily I think. I did it without first removing my SD and CF cards. the upgrade said it went through ok on the PC, but it froze on the PPC, about halfway. ever since then, I've only been able to bring up the pda in pre-BL mode. Whenever I attempt to re-load any ROM (WM5 or WM6), I get the error message that the language of my current ROM is unknown and hence, the upgrade cannot go through. To further complicate my problem, I was trying to recover it about 3 nights ago and accidentally left the pda on all night in pre-BL mode. Now I think the battery is dead and I do not know how to charge it. Is there any resource or anyone that can help me with this problem? Is there a way to load the rom and Ignore the language setting on the Ipaq? What should I do now? HELP!!
Please let me know ASAP and Thanks!!

Thanks for the assistance, however the flash keeps on saying that my pda's language is "unknown" and hence stops the upgrade as a result. What do i do about this?

WM6 hx2795 and WiFi
Hello everyone,
I just came across this forum today, and was very happy to. I flashed my rom from wm5 to wm6 and definitely like wm6 more.
Now for my bug. I'm using an hx2795. Wi-Fi worked in wm5, now after I flashed the WiFi manager will connect to a AP then says 'Driver not loaded.' and disconnect. I saw Anavas' post in the "i will pay..." thread and said that wifi was working on his. So, I'm guessing it's possible to have wifi on this model. I'm hoping he/she or someone else can help me out? It's just strange that it seems to start working (can shortly do SiteSurvey as well sometimes)...
As can be guessed the driver update from HP doesn't work (incorrect revision error).
Resetting makes it works for a short time, but then I get the 'Driver not loaded' thing.
/* EDIT
* This only appears to happen when in the cradle. I took it out and it didn't give me anymore problems...weird, maybe something to do with connecting through usb vs wi-fi conflict?
*/
Thanks a bunch.
CE OS 5.2.1437 (Build 17944.0.3.1)
hi,
I checked with my hx2795 and I don't have any problem connecting WiFi so far,
I can able to connect it from my home and the office.
I even checked with the cradle, I have no problem,
Have you done a hard reset once you flashed the ROM, or did you install any other driver / software ?
I used my ppc at school all day today, and plugged it in cradle just now. I can't repeat the error, so I have no idea how, but it's working just fine. So....solution was to do nothing and let it go away, haha.

QuickGPS & Location setting error.

Randomly when I update QuickGPS I get an error:
"Data Activation Failed:
Location setting must be on so that the latest satellite data can be used to speed up GPS positioning"
I'm on a T-Mobile USA Touch Pro 2.
If I restart my device, I can update QuickGPS without error. But once I get this error, I always do until I restart my device. Its like the "location setting" just dissapeared. Anyone have a similar issue or know of a fix?
I'm having same problem.
I've try to update the QuickGPS and it tells me I need to set location to on but I can not find it anywhere. It suppose to be at Start, Settings, Phone, Services then I should be able to see locations but I don't see it.
It's missing and I hate to call customer's services and run into someone who reads out of manuals.
Any takers?
TIA.
Anyone have any ideas?
same prob
I see that my location is set to on, but wont update regardless of soft reset. just updated to europe wwe 6.5 from htc site. didnt have prob with 6.1 stock from tmo usa
I have the same problem with the stock rom from sprint. it will say i need to turn on location setting, but when i look, it's already on. also, if i try to turn off location setting, it stays on. when i look again, after selecting off, ok, etc., the location setting says on again. soft reset is the only thing that fixes it.
after soft reset, i quickgps, then run garmin and it works fine. after i turn off garmin and don't use it for awhile, then i can't get a fix and i get the location setting error when trying to run quickgps.
any ideas?
I'm using HTC Topaz with official WM6.5. I've found that this problem happens after installing WM6VoIP.cab (it's necessary for enabling SIP). Btw not only QuickGPS fails with update, GPS completely stops working.
Removing of "Sleuth's WM6VoIP" through "Add\remove programs:" doesn't work - only Hard reset helps.

[Q] The GPS is not accurate

Hey all!
I noticed that my GPS is not accurate any more (by about 50meters)
Might this have something to do withe the rom (HDR 3.0) or is there a way to calibrate the thing?
Thanks in advance
Malikjc
You can try to reset your connection settings ...if this doesn't help I would try another radio. I have the same problem every time I update RHD.
A stupid question.
how do I reset my connection settings?
1) Install GPS Status, available at market.
2) Tap menu >> Tool >> Manage A-GPS State >> Reset

yes it happen to me too ..
the solution that works for me is, firstly install fasterfix (download from market) .. and set to custom server : for malaysia --> my.pool.ntp.org
after that, open gps status (download from market), then menu -> tools -> manage a-gps -> reset ... after reset , open back menu -> tools -> manage a-gps -> download ..
then let gps search for satellite , once lock , then you'll get fast gps lock after that ..
Hi hedayat7
Oh ok. I did not think about that. haha. Ok. Thanks for the suggestion!
