No GPS signal indicators but TOMTOM 7 is working fine - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hi all,
I have a strange phenomna I installed Tomtom 7 on my new HTC touch HD. I touched it did not work. because i do not have any GPS signal indicators but nevertheless strangely enough TOMTOM 7 is working fine.
The same version is on my Fujitsu Siemens N560 and there all is woorking well with GPS indicators working.
Are there any others who have the same thing? and what to do to get these indicators working?
tomtom version 7.450(9028)
gps version v1.20
map Western Europe v720.1802

Same for me on Garmin Mobile XT. It's due the newer GPS drivers support more satellites, so you need an update for TomTom. For me it's a minor issue as it doesn't affect navigation.
Cheers

Have you tried running QuickGPSFix program before launching TomTom, it help TomTom get signals

Tomtom is getting the Satelite signals (because tomtom is working perfectly)
the only thing is that i don't see any satelites.(the signal indicators on the driving screen are showing nothing) and also at the GPS status screen no satelites are shown.
The only thing there is saying that the built in gps reciever is giving me latitude blablabla minutes seconds etc.
So GPS is working but i can't see it.
quickgpsfix did not change anything. i tried that.
But i am glad Tomtom is working, it is only strange.
regards,

I have the same issue when I used WM6.5 version, once I changed back to WM6.1, the indicator works fine. (What version are you using it?)
tested on all Dutty WM6.5 versions and none of it works.
tested on all Dutty WM6.1 versions and works fine.
tested on Miri WM6.5 and it works.
tested on Panosha WM6.5 and it works only on few radio versions.
No Ideal at all............

Same problem with the same version of TomTom here...
I updated to TomTom 7.915 (9196) and the problem was gone...

I had this issue with Garmin XT.
I fixed it (accidentally!) by changing the GPS Program Port to GPD1 instead of a COM port.
After doing that it worked, and still works after changing it back to a COM port. No idea why.

I use it on a HTC Touch HD only 1 week old
original rom, dutch version. wm 6.1

If you are using Garmin XT and is default using "Use serial GPS", switch to "use GP intermediate Driver" and you will see the signal bars.

This is on My TOMTOM as well. It was strange at first especially as we have always had signal bars now I dont care as long as it works. You know what they say.... If it aint Broke...... etc

I have the same problem, running tomtom version 7.450.
This problem (no satellites) appeared after upgrading the rom to HTC version 1.56. Before, with the previous original HTC rom, the same version of tomtom worked perfectly.

I've got the same problem, too.
After flashing new (org.) HTC ROM, TomTom works fine, but signal indicator is not showing satellites.

ditto - same problem noticed since moving to cooked ROM, but I might have had it before to be fair.
I'm happy TomTom works but I'd like to see them if i can.

Guys,
The reason for not showing the satellites in TomTom is that these versions can't handle the number of satellites available on the GPS chipset. Don't worry as it makes absolutely no difference to the operation of TomTom.
Should have mentioned that this is due to the latest HTC radios. Can't remember from which radio version the full GPS functionality was implemented in but am sure if you check you can find the information.

I have the same problem on my Diamond 2, that is to say, Tomtom Navigator 7 works but the satellite indicator doesn't work. But, this morning I SAW THE INDICATOR WORKING!!! I was so happy. Then, in the afternoon, when I started Tomtom, the indicator did not work.... I am sure I did not dream this morning...
I am wondering what happened this morning. If I knew, I could make it work again...
As the satellite indicator worked once, it maybe that the driver is there.. Maybe some registry tweak may bring it to life...

I got same problem after I update my ROM. The navigation is working fine just without satalites indicator. I'm sure Tomtom had signal indicator before the ROM update. Anyone has solution?

I have the exact same problem with TT7!... I've tried everything in settings but can't get the signal bar to appear.
Does anyone have a solution or a cab file to fix this GPS issue in 6.5 ROMs? If not, atleast, TomTom works fine...

Yep,I have the same ,no indicators,tried reinstalling no difference,would love to have them working.
Don

One more here, HTC Diamond, TomTom7, newest radio.
I think that got broken when I updated to a new ROM/Radio some time ago, same TomTom installation had no such problems before.
It is a minor thing but does help to see how quickly you are going to get the full signal )

am using duttys holy grail R0 with Manila 2.1 radio 1.17 and TOMTOM 7.915.9196 and i get GPS signal indicators now. I didn't on 7.4, which is odd.

Artemis problem with GPS

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.

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,

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.

TomTom GPS data stream problem

Hello Guys,
I manage to upgrade Vogue to WM6.1 + GPS.
When I run Google Maps it work fine. Show me exactly where I am.
When I run TomTom from AstroGPSLauncher, the TomTom showed me that it found 7 satellites.
But I do NOT see the road.
When I try to enter direction I get an error message related to the GPS data.
It is as if the GPS data is wrong. I think TomTom try to put me in a different part of the world and its completely confused.
Any Idea what I did wrong?
Thanks.

You forgot to tell us what version of TT and what map you are using!
It's unlikely to be a hardware or rom problem otherwise Google Maps would not work.
-GT
I'm using version 7.45 .
Today I also installed it on my friends phone (HTC Touch Sprint) and it was working OK.
So the TomTom version is OK, the Vogue work OK with GoogleMaps and MS Live.
What can be the reason that TomTom GPS is confused on my machine?
I also installed GPS Tuner and I saw the same problem:
The location jump all the time. Sometimes it put in in China...
Very strange....
Can someone think about something I did wrong???

TomTom v7 odd problem on TP2/Rhodium

Hi all.
I have got myself an early Touch Pro 2 and installed TomTom 7 - all works fine - same as on the Touch HD. However I get a strange problem with the GPS signal display - all the bars are blank - even when the signal locks.
I am using 7.450.9028 - i can't get 7.451 to work as it complains its not for this device.
I also have iGo v8 working fine on the TP2 and the GPS satellites display fine on that - iGo detects COM4 just fine. I had the probem before I installed iGo 8 by the way.
Any help appreciated - I can't see other people with that problem on the Touch HD so its a mystery.
thanks
mike
Honestly since the phone hasn't been released yet I doubt that anyone will be able to help you, but also maybe the official touch pro 2 will not have this problem when it comes out. Last, how did you get one?? Do you work for HTC or is there away for anyone to get one?
Sure - understand. I guess i'll just have to wait :-(
I have a friend who has a friend. It can't be long now i assume..
On the test one i had 2 weeks ago i installed TT7.915 and it worked well.
ok thanks. i will try and locate and install that version.
to be clear 7.45 works just fine - its just you get no idea how close to a lock you are - which can be a pain.
that said it's introduced me to Nav n Go 8 - which i hadn't lookd at before - pretty impressive UI inc the motorway signs i see TomTom UI is moving to.
Got too used to the TomTom voices though - so will need to install those which I see is possible.
thanks for the tip
Hi, I have bought a TP2 and I am having difficulties installing TomTom7 from microsSD. Get the device is not compatible with this version of TomTom Navigator error message. TomTom support are no help. Is there any simple fix for this?
I have tomtom v7 working fine, but it is a 7.9x version, which had a few fixes in (apparently) for internal GPS devices.
also worth applying the GPS delay fixes that are in the Wiki as it reduces lag.

TomTom7 Navigator problems

Hi,
I've search the forum to find my answer but with no result... Let me explain my problem:
I'm using Christians WM6.5.1 ROM (latest build). Everything works fine except TT7. I've tried several caps but none of them works perfect... The thing is that it won't recognize the build in GPS module. The app says "No GPS device!"
I allready tried to set the settings to "Another NMEA receiver" on the GPS-baudspeed of 57600 and COM:4... But it won't work...
With my TyTnII I didn't experience any problems but I'm pretty desperate to find the solution so I won't need my old Garmin Nav.System any more.
Does someone has an answer to my problem? Or maybe the same problem?
Please help!
hi.
i am also using christian's rom and i am using tomtom 7 without any problem.did you update your gpsfix data?use quick gps and update your data.if you cant get proper signal it will show 'no gps found'.once you pick up the signal it will work properly.
good luck.
Well the main problem is that the gps device that is build in the xperia x1 wil have to find the gps locations..
The first time it will take about 2 to 10 minutes before it finds the locations. After that first time it will take a few seconds to 30 seconds before it finds it's locations..
I had the same problem and it drove me crazy untill I found 2 posts on the internet that saved my life.
Just place your Xperia somewhere on a table in the garden and wait for it to load.
Greetings from Holland.
If I'm not wrong you should use the internal GPS and set the baudrate to 4800. 57600 is way too large.
Okay, I don't use Win 6.5, but also using 6.1 57600 is not working.
Hi,
I've tried your tip but without any results... TomTom tells me that there were no satalites which I was conected to but still got my location pretty pointed...
I drove the entire way on my TomTom but without GPS fix... I downloaded the newest position with QuickGPS before I ran TT7.
Could this be a bug or is it locating me on another way...?
i am using tomtom 7.915.9196.vga_black.cab without any problem.which radio version are you using?seems you are having very weird problem.good luck.
I use TTN_7.916.9189 and there are not problems
got christians rom too and tomtom 7.xx runs better than under windows 6.1 stock rom
Got it working... Don't ask how I did it Cause I really have no clue...!
But I'm really happy it finally works! Now I've got to see how I can get it into my "On The Road" panel to set it as my default navigator
also using christian's latest clean WWE rom.
it does find some satelites in tomtom 7.9xxxxxx, but still not possible to navigate or find a way.
what did you do?
i even let tomtom run till my battery got empty, but no luck?
maybe its the radio, still got the old one i think?
going to update to 7.915.9196.vga_black.cab now, hope that helps

GPS not workign

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)?
