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
Mike
!!!
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?

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,

Hi,
I've got a weird problem with my MDA compact III (T-mobile Netherlands, original ROM).
For some reason I don't know the active sync doesn't seem to identify the phone anymore.
I know there are a lot of problems with active sync and I've read and searched a lot of those threads but I can't solve my problem.
Active sync always ends up with the message that there is no phone connected whereas it is.
I tried different versions of active sync and different PC's (WIN XP SP2), deleted partnerships both on the phone as well as in active sync, I changed the name of the phone which it uses to identify on connection.
No matter what I tried, nothing could solve this.
The only way for me to exchange data at this moment is using wm5torage and using CAB's to install.
Please help!!
PS: A hard reset is not an option since I need to continue with the tools and files that are currently in the ROM.
Thanks in advance

Ok ... I have seen your problem many times and yes there are many other threads on it . But lets see since im woke if I canhelp you crack this little apple . 1st what you mean by you can't hard reset you need to continue wuith tools . 2nd when the phone is connected to your computer does it charge ? Do you see it connect in the device manager ? 3rd of you plug your phone to the charger does it charge as well.
Now if these question are yes then 1st I would say reboot your computer and soift reset phone ... If that doesnt solve the problem then we will goto next step.
I have a similar problem :
facts :
1. the usb cable charge the battery correctly.
2. The Headphones and mic are working well.
3. No data connection ( both activesync and WM5Storage )
4. Back from long journey using as navigator so the car holder and the car charger my have damaged the data pins ?
5. Reinstalled activesync on the PC , tried different PC, tried different Usb Cable, soft resetted an hard resetted the device but no success.
Please give me some suggestions before going to repairing service.
Thanks

Sounds as if all is working . And what ever you were trying on the phone has an adverse effect ? What are these tools that are keepimng you from hard resetting ? I believe there is another program for connecting to this cell let me rack my brains while I think ...

Hi PURESKILLZZZ,
Many thanks for taking you time to read my explanation.
Let me give you some answers:
1.) The reason for me is that in case of a hardreset I need to install all applications again. Actually I've been doing a hard reset and then afterwards restored a backup I created with spb backup. Unfortunately the problem was still there.
2.) Yes the phone charges when connected through USB (so it's not the connector that is faulty I guess).
The device manager I need to checkout didn't lok at that yet.
When I connect using wm5torage I can see the SD card in the explorer.
3.) The phone charges when connected to the charger.
So I guess the answer is yes to all your questions.
If you have more questions to be able to help me please let me know.
I'd like to tackle this problem.
Thanks in advance
I have a similar Problem:
facts:

2. Headphones with mic are working well.
3. no activesync connection.

5. tried different PC , different data cable ( the one than comes with PS3 ) , hard resetted the device but no success.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance
I believe it is safe to say your present software is the issue and have you tried sktools for dong the back up .

i don't think so because i have no wm5torage connections so in my case i think is an hardware issue like data pins damaged ....
1 other thought ... A simple fix whichh may work . goto comm manager on your phone and click activeSync and see if that helps .

Did you jam the charger in the phone at anytime or did the phone drop while connected to charger . Just being connected for long periods of time dont hurt as I have ran my phone for over 24 hours connected to power while playing the radio thru the phone.
Unfortunately none of the suggestions worked for me.
It's not related to dropping the phone or taking hardware damage by faulty use or something.
This I know for sure since I own this phone only for a couple of weeks and didn't harm it in any way.
My conclusion also was that it must be software related, that's why I started this thread anyway.
Therefore I'm looking for suggestions/hints on the software side (most probably the problem would be on the phone and not on the PC, but what is it?........)

Ok .. Lets chase the possible software issues . What rom are you running and what have you installed ?
1 last note before I go take a power nap . You can check your activesync setting on the phone . goto => Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC. Change the mode of the box next to Enable advance Network functionality. click ok .. Now try to connect ... The box is suppose to have a check in it but sometimes there are other reasons why it doesnt worj the defaukt way . I hope I have been of some assistance to you.
Similar issue
I had this same issue recently I thought it may be due to upgrading to activsync 4.5.
But it seemed not to make much difference when I attempted to work it on another pc using activsync.
The problem only occured after I had been using pocket mechanic to delete files and free up dead registry files.
I didn't want to do a hard reset straight away so instead I restored an older backup from before the issue started & since then the problem has been resolved.
So I guess the question is do you have an older backup than the one you have tried if so try it & see. Other than that a hard reset may well sort the issue?
Hope this helps, and serves as a warning to others don't delete certain reg keys even if a program (pocket mechanic) stated them to be empty or redundant unless you have a backup to restore when things go wrong!

Yeah a backup is a good idea but most dont do that . And yeah some cleaners do remove more than they should.

Almost every program you named I have installed various times . And I know from experience quiet a few of them clash . Biggest example is the anton tomov pocket mechanic and PC Counselor Tweaks2k2 .NET. Both of those running with the resco stuff is utter ciaos.
Hell this is complicated...
I have the same problem although my mda compact III (T-Mobile) is pretty new! Would it help to
a) install activesync 4.5 (I currently use 4.2)
b) to debrand it
Hope there is a simple solution... and many thanks in advance for it!!!
I had a similar problem, are you guys using a firewall? if so you may need to open a port or what I do is temporarily deactivate my firewall when I connect my orbit to my pc.
Hope that helps.
hi guys!
i have a very big problem!! today i must travel to amsterdam and i cant take noland maps on my device...i have original dvd with all maps but when i connect my device to pc...tomtom home display "searching for installed things on htc artemis" i dont know the right message in english hehe
but then the program freeze...i dont know how to do!! i changed rom with another i used before and was working but still freezes...
the only change i made are lots of poi downloaded but i dont think it can take more than 4 minutes to load theme
when i disconnect usb cable the program return to work as normal
please help me!!
i've got a rather stupid problem.
first of all, i got the orig. O2 XDA Orbit WM6 rom on this toy
so no weird, tuned firmware or anything unknown..
i wanted to sync my artemis with my "old" computer (new is a mac.. doenst work verry well) runing XP home SP2. It worked for months perfectly, worked with WiMo5 and 6. It actually DID work!
Normaly i use the USB for syncing, then i got lazy a few weeks ago and changed it to BT. I had quite a fight to get i work but in the end it worked fine and wireless...
Then i did not sync it for about a month. And today i wanted to sync it again.
BT Dongle wasn't anywhere to find so i plugged in the USB. The Display "light up" so everything is normal... Active Sync starts to turn (the icon in the Systray, next to the clock). After a few minutes AS wrote that there is no connection. I re-plugged the USB. No change. I uninstalled AS and installed the latest version directly from MS's homepage. No change!
I tried it with BT. The BT on my computer recognized a artemis. wow! great! AS starts and my BT Connection-software tells me "connection cancled". Damn!
I changed the Computer. No running a Win Vista HomePremium 32bit, plugged the phone in, it recognieses some thing (4 i think it was...)
But i can't find the phone. No problem, so i thought. I downloaded from MS the Mobile Device Center. unplugged an plugg it in again - no change!
Somehow my phone is not recognized as phone for AS.
The Battery is charged now so, some things work and some thinks not.
I need the sync! Win XP oder Vista doesn't matter. But how the hell i get this thing to work again?!
I deleted now all "connections" in AS on the Computer an on the Artemis.
So actually it should tell me that i have to configure what to sync. but it doesn't!
Anybody an idea what might be wrong?
Do you charge ur Artemis in a car? its a common problem that having your phone on charge whilst starting the engine causes the USB control board to get damaged, so you can still charge, but the USB connection doesnt work for Syncing.
Needs a new USB board if this is the case, which is covered by warrenty, or can be repaired for around £20 (phone repair shops).
i often charge my phonein the car.
it never made any problems - until now!
i should contact my provider (o2) and make them repair my phone?!
yeh, as long as your phone is under a year old, O2 will repair for free (under warrenty)
first of all - dont be so pessimistic, make a backup/hard reset and check again.
It is a usual problem( at least, for me) if you use your pda to sync with several computers via diff ways.
Had a similar problem with a faulty connector on an Xda IIi which was 3 months old and had lots of trouble getting it repaired under warranty.
The problem is that they send it off to a repair depot who analyse the fault and then come back to you a couple of weeks later saying it's your fault and that they will not repair it under warranty i.e. you've got to pay.
A couple of letters and a call to Customer Retentions did the trick though
when it *first* happened to mine, i sent mine off to T-Mobile in a bag that they sent me, and 2 days later is was back again, fixed!
i've got to say that T-Mobile seem to have good servicing, not that the products should need repairing in the first place!
Have you tried a different cable?
I have one cable that only allows me to charge (must be damaged somehow) but all the others work fine with it.
i tried 4 cabels!
i wrote an email to o2 --> no answer yet
hard reset will be next thing to do. normal reset is done, no change!
but mayB o2 will simply give me a new one
i wouldn't mind
try, as well, to delete all partnerships, on pc and pda as well
I get that problem randomly also.
I've had it happen on 2 different computers, Win 2k Pro, Win XP Pro, Active Sync 4.2, Active Sync 4.5, WM5, WM6...
The best solution for any problems with any combination I had was REBOOT THE COMPUTER.
Worked every time.
they are delted.
no change
o2 wrote an email:
un-check the "hook" in settings - connections - usb2pc
or
hard rest should help
well as far as i know, i checkt the usb2pc thing, un-checked, checked it again... i tried quiet a lot. so this won't help
hard reset will be done as soon as i find out how to save all the sms, mms from the phone... anybody an idea?
to save your messages?
about sms - "jeyo mobile companion" will surely help you
mms? try sktools - i saw there backup of pocket outlook folders.
br
thank you.. jeyo helped
has anyone repaired his device usb already.Could you post where is the best place and cost to repair XDA Orbit's USB.
Thank You
First time I connected my phone to the PC, ActiveSync didn't work. Same simptoms, battery was charging, but no connection from AS. Turned out "DHCP Client" service was stopped in Windows. Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. See if the status of that service is "Started". It is by default.
Hi, thanks for your suggestion.all the system services are ok.I have orbit 2 and syncs like a charm.the orbit 1 unfortunately lost that ability due to a car charging problems as described above.I need to send it for repair but don't know where and how much that would cost me.
Thanks
MY GOD.... you mean it's a KNOWN fact the car charger ruins your artemis...
does this happen with 5V 1amp charger
or with a normal "usb" charger 5V 0.5amp....?!
both for car use.
car charging shouldnt be a problem if you plug it in AFTER you started the car (dont blame me though). when starting the car, there seem to be some possibility of high current peaks that can damage your device. i guess it also depends on the car...
I am not a very tech person but what I read in this forum is showing that exactly when you start the engine and your artemis is pluged in to the charger this thing happens.
I did hard reset, tryed 3 diferent usb cables and still no reacton.It is definately a hardware problem Mr Samov.

Hi @ all
I'm using a HTC TYTN II and want to connect it to my CARPC (full working normal PC) to make phonecalls read and write SMS.
There are a few progs that work with "normal" mobile phones but not with PPCs.
It should be connectable to USB, so I can charge the accu whyle driving.
I tested a remote controller to control the PPC via touching the CARPCs 7" touchscreen, this works okay. But I need a prog that will give the sound form the PPC to the CARPC and the microphone input from the CARPC to the PPC.
My fav. would be a programm that can fully control the PPCs phone functions and but not required the sms functions.
I think you know what my problem is, and sorry for my bad english I'm from germany.
Man, I just started working on the same project! Although I only want to connect the PC to my in-dash display for simpler things like Slingbox, web browsing and talkstreamlive radio.
I found this in my searching...

Hope this helps and keep in touch as you progress and I will too!
Thanks

Hey man, ive been looking for the same thing! i was using a program called err damn cant remember, but basically it just displayed my phones screen on my liliput and i could dial that way, ill see if i can find it, its been a while since i used it, syncing bt back and forth just became a hassle heh
