Hi everyone....I have a P3300 and I have to say I'm really dissapointed of the gps unit...Since I didn't find the maps for TomTom, I copied of my old gps unit the IGO8 app...the thing is that the gps starts very very slowlly, even on TomTom or any other gps app...In fact it takes about 10min to give some coordinates plus when I'm in the house or any building it only shows the sattelites but no connection....does anyone else have this problem???is it just my p3300???
hey, guys...I'm looking for oppinions, user facts not state secrets...doesn't anyone have a p3300 anymore??
Hi, i know the thread is old, but i was doing a search about GPS fixing issue on Artemis before opening my 3d and i found this one.
The problem you described is the normal behavior of your integrated GPS or it happens only in some days/periods??

OK here's a strange one. Orange SPV M2000 with Navman Smart ST V3 amd a Holux GPS cradle (which uses the com port on bottom of the phone so its hard wired).
Since installing I have been through a process of elimination to find out why the software reports NO GPS DATA occasionally, especially when it had to do anything that involves loading something, i.e. a speedcam warning or voice command approaching a roundabout. Tried the lot. Disabling ports/activesync etc.
Then one day it dawned on me that it wasn't happening on a long drive North from London. The only thing that was different was I didn't have the headset plugged in!
I've tested this over the last few weeks or so, and yes, headset plugged in means loss of data from the GPS intermittently.
I installed TOM TOM 5 from a friend and low and behold it seems to be doing the same. In TOM TOM you get the signal bars at the right and they go to zero every couple of minutes then spring back up. So its not software specific.
I would have thought the supplied headset was just a good old-fashioned 'feed to the speaker or feed to the earpiece' hard connection but it would appear not to be so.
So the question is, what is the Blue Angel doing when the headset is plugged in that it isn't doing when its not?!!!
....... tumbleweed rolls by........ signs creak...... saloon doors swing......
OK, ....I know, ...I know, ....if no one has posted it probably means no one knows the answer So I'll ask, does anyone use their Blue Angel with Navman SmartST V3 who could try this with the headphones to see if its a one off or a real issue?
As a test I installed TomTom Navigator and it does the same thing.
Any thoughts appreciated.
OK guys. I know I can't force a response so I'll post findings to date. For one reason or another, I have used Navman Smart ST V3 (now returned) a 'borrowed' version of Tom Tom navigator 5 and, in an effort to remain 'legit' a version of Destinator PN. All these exhibit the same problem so I can only presume that there is a hardware issue with the Blue Angel and my GPS port (port 1). Does anyone have a clue what the BA does when you plug in the headset that could cause such a problem or pehaps even a fix?
I have an XDA IIs with TomTom 5 and a wired GPS unit.
It doesn't exhibit this fault.
The headset (wired) works just fine. I have disabled BlueTooth to get reliable telephone performance, so I can't tell what that would work like.

Has anyone tried Navigon MN5 with Artemis yet?..........
Thanks
Rafiki
I did.. Navigon works fine, but is really slow on my Artemis. TomTom is much faster. I tried Navigon because of the TMC support, but i can't get TMC to work on my device. I'm going to try iGo 2006 as well, but for now TomTom does the job very well.
Now I'm using iGo 2006. I can recommend this piece of software to everyone, it's much faster than both TomTom and Navigon. The looks are incredible.
My tomtom takes ages to find the sats when you first boot it up. Is this normal??

Try to find the upgrade to v6.02 as this has the option for "Built In GPS" and it'll then use the Quick GPS data. Cold start is now 10 seconds for me with warm start being about 3 second!
Navigon 6
Navigon 6 works fine, but it is really slow on Artemis, is there anyone knows how to turn the first warning off in the begining of screen ?
Does iGo support QuickGPS so that it can lock on fast?
A cool nav program is Route 66. Works fine and gets a fix in approx.10 sec. Uses same maps as Navigon btw!
TomTom is a joke if you live in Eastern Europe. Either no maps at all or very poor with only very major roads.
I only work with DestinAtor on my Artemis. Version 6.0.0.
Very fast fixes (approx 6-9 seconds) and response from map is better then TommyTommy, according to a friend of mine. He switch over to DestinAtor aswell.
TomTom GPS Settings...?

Guys can someone tell me what settings they have on their Artemis' GPS Settings and on their TomTom 6.200?
On my Artemis' GPS settings, I have it set to:
GPS Programs Port: COM4
GPS Hardware Port: COM2
Baud Rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically set to: ON
And on the TomTom settings I configured it to use the Other NMEA GPS Receiver, set the baud rate to 4800 and then when it asks "GPS is connected to:" I just select COM4 which is the first option.
Now this works for me pretty well but the weird thing is my HTC P3600 seems to be a lot quicker at getting a fix and it has connections with more sattelites and a better signal than the Artemis!
As far as I know, the artemis is suppose to be much better when it comes to GPS because it has the latest Sirf 3 GPS receiver and from what I read somewhere, the P3600 has another GPS chip not as good as the Sirf 3.
Would be good to know what settings everyone else is using. By the way TomTom only seems to detect the GPS when the GPS Programs Port is set to COM4 on the Artemis' GPS settings. Setting this to anything else doesnt work.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I put the Navigon 6,2 software on my P3300 today. Awesome stuff. The update 6,2 has improved the Speed alot.
The only thing that i need help with is the TMC service.
how can i get that up and running?
Thanks
Tim
Hi,
I'm currently running navigon 6.1.5 on my P3300 with WM6 (NewArtemis2). Every now and then I'm getting the message that my memory is full. At that moment I can choose to end different programs. Normally or MN6 or phone. Because I'm using navigation I choose telephone. Then after a few minutes I'm getting a network faillure and MN6 ends.
Is this a known problem and if it is, is there a sollution for it?
Thanks for your help.

Bringing up an old topic again.
I tried to install Navigon MN6.2 on my artemis. Everything goes well, except for the images on the screen, it's far from smooth.
How did other people manage to run MN6.2 to run smoothly on there Artemis?
This is driving me nuts...
I have TomTom 7 and choose "Built-in-Receiver". Received good GPS signal last night for like 10 minutes after installing the official ROM. Then it stopped working ever. It always says "No GPS Receiver" or "Waiting for GPS Signal", both in-house and in open-sky areas. Any help? Am I just in bad luck that Sprint sold me a Touch with a poor GPS chip?
i think that is not enough info . you a have to list atleast provider,rom ,radaio version
same problem... kind of anyway
i have TomTom 7.45 installed also on
Touch
CPU: Qualcomm 7500 @400MHz
PPC 6.1
Bell Mobility CDMA
ROM: 3.02.651.2
Radio: 3.42.30
PRI: 1.33_007
When i start TT7 it will say "no GPS device!" it doesn't matter if i choose the "built-in GPS receiver" or the "other NMEA GPS receiver"
the only way i can get it to get/recognize GPS is to start GPS Viewer first, then start TT7. This is kind of stupid.
tho when i start Google Maps, no problem, it recognizes the GPS no problem...
(and yes, i have tried reinstalling the ROM, the applications...etc.)
any help would be appreciated.
Tomtom 7 does not have GPSID support and thus needs a program to open the GPS com port first. The best way to do this is AstroGPSLauncher, it's a simple cab file install and you'll have no more issues. Google and or search for it, it's at the forum here.
great... thank you.....
I believe I have found a problem with the above concering Tomtom7 on the Blackstone.
I dont know if this is a problem is to do with HD Tweak, but when enabling A-GPS and running Tomtom 7 for the 2nd time and all successive times the GPS in Tomtom cannot get a fix. If the device is rebooted, then getting a fix isn't a problem, until you exit Tomtom and relaunch it. Disabling the A-GPS seems to cure the problem, but obviously getting a fix takes a little longer. Maybe this is why HTC chose to disable A-GPS by default on the Blackstone? Has anyone else noticed this problem?
Its been out there for ages that if you use tomtom 7 you dont have a-gps switched on. Even on the igo 8 you dont have it switched on as it interferes with the program. Its not just a blackstone bug diamonds have it too.
I have my rhodium for a week right now, and notice some gps lag in tomtom 7. I unlocked my rhodium with the hard spl and tried several roms and radio roms, most of them perform similar regarding the gps lag; tomtom is always one update tick behind.
If I adjust the POLLInterval in the registry, from 1000 ms to a lower value, the position on the map in tomtom is not updated more frequently, so the lag is still the same.
I also tried the gps patch from ITDev, but without succes, lag remains the same.
Then I switched the gps settings in tomtom to my old bluetooth gps, and also there is the lag. It seems the problem is somewhere in windows mobile or tomtom, and not in the qualcomm gps-one driver/settings.
Has someone tested the lag with another navigation package and compared that with the gps lag in tomtom?? I'm going to try it with navigon, and try just one more radio, the latest one: Radio_Rhodium_4.47.25.24. If that's not working I will wait till the official WM6.5 rom is released.
Another question, does somebody know how to get the assisted gps working?? or correct the gps lag?? I was unable to resolve the lag with any of the tweaks discussed here on XDA.
Just arrived today , the updated GPS fix, saw positive reactions!
http://www.htc.com/nl/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=250&act=sd&cat=all
I have tried that radio too, still a lag of 1 second in tomtom, the same as the update frequency, just one tock behind.
Just tested navigon, together with Radio_Rhodium_4.47.25.24. Completely no lag at all, when I drive over a roundabout it displays my position correctly, when a drive over bridges and rivers it displays my position correctly. When I do this with tomtom I already passed the roundabout while tomtom is stil approaching the roundabout.
When I look at the gps settings in Navigon is seems that navigon reads out the gps directly from com 4.
If I want to make a same setting in tomtom it is not possible. With some roms and radios com4 is not even listed in tomtom, and with other roms I have com4 but can only access it when I let windows control my gps. This box can be checked in the settings/system/extrnal gps dialog on the third tap (access). When I uncheck this box I don't get the internal gps working.
Strange that navigon does not have gps lag, and tomtom is continously 1 update tick behand. And the update frequency in Navigon is much larger then the update frequency in tomtom.
Sometimes the position freezes for a second in navigon, but after that the position is correct again.
To summarize, what an amazing difference between tomtom and navigon.
Where did u find the radio 4.47.25.24???
http://xdadev.f1ip.net/index.php?dir=Rhodium/Radio
that's where that radio comes from
tried that latest radio with tomtom, the gps lag is still not gone.
i'm not sure if this has to do with radio's roms etc. i tried igo 8 and tomtom. both lagged horrible. then with gps tweaks it improved a little .. but still lag.
Then i bought Copilot 8 .... NO LAG AT ALL .... nothing.... nada . When the car turned ... copilot is ready.
So ... why should it be the radio or the rom when lag differs on software ?
I think it has to do with programming the navigation applications.
i have also tried the patch from HTC for the radio and the lag is still there when using tomtom. surely between HTC and Tomtom this can be sorted out.
very frustrating to be paying such a lot for a phone only to find that the one application i use everyday works better on my 2 year old TYTNII.
If it was not for me recently renewing my traffic and speed cam sub then I would ditch them.
