Hi,
after a quick search im struggling to find info.....
Please bear with me...
1) does anyone have a link to a GPRS counter that will work with my phone??? i fownloaded and paid for 1 that doesnt work..... (all locations GPRS counter) as its says it is not a windows CE app....
2) Is there a rom update for the M1000 that will allow voice dialling like the 02 rom update??? or what would the implications of using the 02 rom update be?
3) i saw a link a while back regarding the flashing bluetooth light, is there anyway of turning it off?
Many thanks for being patient with me.....
GPRS Counter
Try using spb GPRS Monitor (www.spbsoftwarehouse.com) You can use for 15 days on demo. This was the program that was supplied with the original xda. Works perfactly on my XDA II.
Hope this helps.
1. many programs you download are exe for the pc which then use activesync to copy the files to the pda
make sure that you are not trying to run pc exe files on your xda otherwise it will give you that error

hhhmmm there should be an icon in the left corner where you can turn off bluetooth that makes the light stop blinking
of cause it also disable bluetooth but if you need bluetooth and worry about the power it takes to make the led blink then dont it dont use much power, having bluetooth on does however
Hello all
I have just purchased the MDA Compact III and will now load up some Tomtom 6 maps via the MicroSD card (which is being delivered as yet)..
My question is, before when starting tomtom (on other devices), it used to ask me if i wanted to switch on the bluetooth so that it could detect device (receiver)..How would it work now wit the built in receiver?? Would it just detect automatically?
Also, i don't understand the quickgps icon. Do i have to use it or is it only for a faster connection to a satellite?
Sorry if these are dumb questions - but the manuals are rubbish!
Thanks in advance
GPS type is configurable manually in TomTom. In your case built-in GPS is pre-set, so no need to do anything. Just open TT and go...
Quickgps is an option to enable you to download the actual positions of satellites as an input for TT. This is not a must, but you may try to examine yourself whether it makes your gps-fix faster or not...
Thanks for the reponse..
Is the quick GPS chargeable? i.e is there a cost involved downloading?
Thanks
Only the Cost for the internet Service, since Quick GPS downloads Satelite Data from the Internet.
Startt Quick GPS then go to menu/ Options In here set it to remind you when the data expires, and Autodownload when connected to a PC via Active Sync, if you want to avoid GPRS charges make sure Autodownload when data expires is NOT checked.
Set-up as above if you dock your PDA each night to charge it and let Active Sync run the program will auto update, if you are mobile and the data runs out you get the warning and can select to download an update or simply ignore it.
If you have Web and Walk (T-Mobile) then the GPRS charges are not an issue - Mike
Hehe Thank you
Haven't tried that, i felt bugged by the constant message of Quick GPS, that my Data expired...Now that is soved
Hi,
I am new to this forum and have recletly purchased a T-Mobile MDA Compact III, My friend has installed the TOMTOM 6 software but for some reason i cant pick up a gps signal.

Alright,
As most of you have already noticed some GPS program's just dont work on the P3300... odd? yes but it can be explained.
The GPS unit wich is used in the HTC p3300 uses COM4 to communicate, 4800 buadrate, all working nicely. BUT... the p3300 doesnt seem to set the EV_RXCHAR flag, wicht is used by most common COM handlers, this flag indicates there is new data in the receive buffer.
Because most hobby projects use common COM handlers, they think they'r not receiving any data at all and will do nothing.
Some say solving this is possible by using Franson GPSGate.
I have not yet try'd this because im trying to find something freeware. and the franson version is limited to 14 days.
As it seems the free progam JAL portsplitter (recommended bij GPS Tuner) creates a new comport and can be set to redirect the data from the GPS to other apps, but now WITH the EV_RXCHAR flags set.
Dear sir,
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe support.
Regarding your query, this handset was designed to work with, specifically, TomTom and other highend programs, as such this not a flaw or known issue but rather a feature of the device.
As such there will be no solution or update to address this.

So HTC wil not be changing the softwarez for this....
Its not a bug... it's a feature
Update:
I have contacted HTC on the issue because the P3300 is about the only device that has this issue, also asked about the upcoming ROM update and if it is fixed.
I hope the PortSplitter i posted solves most issues for now.
The iMate pda-n suffers from exactly the same fault - interesting find though all the same thanks

!!!
This is a very serius "about"
Update in startpost
Unfortunatelly it does not work on my HTC P3300... I choose in Input "GPS Port" but in the output it doesn't have any choice... I tried to add i vurtual port but when i choose add nothing happen...
Hi guys,
I know it has been a very long time since this topic was updated, but I was wondering if anyone knows a tool that is able to change the sirf settings. I used to have a pda with a bluetooth gps receiver and I had a program that could change a lot more than just the refresh rate. There were options that could actually harm the device if set up the wrong way.
I was wondering if the stated missing feature is part of the gps chipset and can be modified or added or is it part of the entire system and can't be altered?
Regards
Sebastian
Hi,
has anyone sucessfully turned on Static Navigation? With beta-Versions for editors it was possible with MMSirf, but with Final versions it isn't, (this told me a mod of pocketnavigation)...
But it is only under 2,5kmh not 4 kmh as with most devices...
But its a pity, though...

Static navigation is "On" by default!
Currently there is no solution to switch it to "Off", isn't it?
ok, I made a mistake: I want to go geocaching and so I want to get location data while standing still!

Hello,
gives news with GPS- Programming ? I am also interrest on a solution to switch off sn on a artemis.
old Thread, so i not sure someone interrest.
Yes, i got it, sure.
it is possible to deactivate GPS SN on a artemis.
now he display continues gps coordinates also in slow speed < 2.5 kmh.
In Bootloader , mtty and SirfDemo.
is someone interested then i can give some information.
So it looks possible to Programm something on the sirf.
Sorry for my English.
Hi,
very cool!
How did you get this?
regards,
Stefan
well, so i have do some test and its working.
so i have modify 3 mda C3 and 1 p3300.
sn are off on all 4 units .
only if you remove the Accu the it will be back.
the problem is its working not on all PC.
on one old 1Ghz athlon with a usb 1.1 ist working. on my new PC its not working. Sirfdemo hangs up wenn SIRF goes into Binary Sirfmod.
i think the binary data crash the usb port.
it looks like the bitclock of the serial sirfdata is not 100% ok.
Step by step
dissable activ sync UsbConnection
on artemis go ito Bootloader and connect to the usb
on pc start mtty.exe ,select ( Port \\.\WCEUSBH001)
(I use mtty multiport usb v0.01)
Press Return, a Cmd comes on Screen
now enter GPSRouting 57600
now starts some output ,looks like NMEA
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,$GPGGA,132149.693,,,,,0,00,,,M,0.0,M,,0000*56
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,$GPGGA,132150.693,,,,,0,00,,,M,0.0,M,,0000*5E
.....
close mtty
now install sirfdemo (i use 3.87) on the PC
( gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=25575)
edit the sirfdemo.ini
-[DataSrc]
-Src=0
-SerPort=\\.\WCEUSBSH001
-SerBaud=57600
and save it
open sifdemo
on setup/target select GSWLT3.... and dissable. autodetection
now press the connect button.
after some sec. you will see one or more lines in the left (debug view, and errors in the right window.
now enter action menue and press switch to sirf
its works so you will only see some in the error window and no new line in the left window.
now sel. navigation menue and press static navigation, sel. Dissable and press set.
after some sec you will see an entry in the response window
wenn not retry it.
it is done then sel action menue and press switch to NMEA
a option menue comes up. you must change baudrate to 57600 !!
then press ok
now close sirfdemo.
open mtty
if you see now line by line NMEA log so it is ok, if you will see endless charters
so the switch back to NMEA are not ok. ---- Power off all and restart.
now reset the artemis and test the gps.
!!! removing the accu will reset the new setting.
i am not sure it was possible to destroy something with this.
so i have testing many many time and always is fine after removing the accu.
sorry for my english.
Hi,
one question:
"now install sirfdemo"
where PC oder PDA?
An Link to mtty would be nice!
Thanks for your HowTo!
btw: Ich denke eine dt. Anleitung dürfte für die meisten einfacher sein und ausreichen. Stell die doch zusätzlich unten an...
nema: You mean NMEA!
It is very interesting that you get it working, because prior Trials told, that the pin for this of the chip is not connected.
regards,
Stefan
Did anyone made any permanent solution SN (static nav)? I tend to remove my battery quite often due to SD and SIM cards inside.
It would be great if someone could write and app which would manage to connect to the GPS chipset from inside WM5/6 and change the SN, even if that would be a temporary solution. I could run the tweak when i go Geocaching.
Hope to hear some good news soon,

like the title says, anyone know of a program with a speedometer feature?
One of the possibilties
Code:
http://www.efficasoft.com/gpsutilities.html
i tried it...it says WM6 compatible but for some reason it only reads the GPS off of com2 and i cant set my GPS port to COM2
Comm port stuck/selection is a different story ... I have a similar story about iGuidance ...
at one time or another ... it is usually user's error that make it stuck on certain port ... ( registry ? )
I had to play around with my GPS for awhile in order for it to paired properly and working smoothly with iGuidance ( had it on comm 3, 4 ...you named it ... finally got it to behave and got it on comm #6 .. )
have you tried this little COMM SETTING program ???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293397
give that a try and report back
yup ive tried that program, thats how i got my gps working with google maps... the problem is in the wm6 setting when i goto set an outgoing port i only have com6 or 7 as an option and not 2
If you just want a speedo, you could use the free unregistered version of CamerAware (http://www.cameraware.net).
Since it uses and auto configures the GPS intermediary driver, you won't need to mess around with ports.

can anyone help me plzz
when i use google map USE GPS it says no gps reciever found
and when i use tomtom 7 it says same sort of thing and according to my little knowledge it is gps inbuilt mobile isnt it can anyone help me answer this plz if there is wrong with my blackstone plz let me know how to fix it. plzzzz
When you start TomTom click on the box to the bottom right to bring up status summary, then click on the bar to the right that says staellites, choose configure, slect "other nmea gps receiver" slide baud rate to max (115200) then select "Com4"
Job done
If you have like me installed VOIP, try this one:
To solve the problem just rename file /windows/dnsapi.dll to for example dnsapi.dll_bck and make soft reset or turn off and on your device.
There will be created a new file with the same name and you can delete the old renamed one. Then the GPS working properly as well as VoIP. Good luck...
Thank you
Thanks for you help but still just make me sure plz blackstone got inbuilt gps or not??? are you people talking about anything else.. coz i tried both of above options but no still when i use google man it says no gps ... bla blah blahh
and in tomtom 7 it says no singnal and when i force it says you may be inside building.....
hi
u need to go to Tomtom setting. First go to windows setting , click external gps to define your port com as 4, and the rate: 9600 etc, then start tomtom, go to setting, choose gps setting, then select external gps receiver (not sure, i forget tomtom!) choose the right rate and port come, 4 and 9600. then it should be working! if it still not working, try google it! good luck!
and the google map thing, forget it, it wont work and take data from Gps, as far as i know, all it uses gps is to identify ur current postition!!!! then it use 3g to download data just like when u use google map on ur pc!!! careful the data costs!!!
