Internal GPS doesn't work with German ROM

I have a locked CID P3300, and today I could upgrade to wm6 using a great post in these forums, but when I installed TomTom6 and selected Internal GPS, TomTom indicates that no GPS was found, when I upgraded my device radio and ext rom couldn't be upgrade due upgrade restrictions, maybe this files doesn't upgrade are desabling my Internal GPS?
Thanks

Try to select in TomTom: the other NMEA GPS reciever.
At baudrate 4800 and on COM 4 TomTom is working great for me.

hi there strangely enoough I have the same problem GPS does not work anymore.. to make it even worse I have flashed a T-Mobile WM5 ROM back and NO GPS and before I had GPS with this ROM, I tried HTC ROM, T-Mobile, DOPOD AND with all NO GPS! this is very weird!
Pocha can you try to flash a WM5 rom back an tell us if your GPS worked again?

Ok I hope yours will work again after the WM5 downgrade! mine did not unfortunatly! but it can also be bad luck and my chip just did and it has nothing to do with upgrading..
If you need any rom please feel free to contact me..

I had some trouble with the rom also, GPS, WIFI..
I have a Dutch MDA III C originaly..
I got everything working by flashing is like so:
WM5 UK tmo -> WM6 O2 German. Stop at screen settings at first run of german rom -> Run WWE rom, complete install. -> Install Cert_SPCS and EnableRapi TO Internal storage, run Dutch WM6 rom..
Now got WIFI and GPS working..
Any other way of flashing get me stuck at boot or without GPS, WIFI or BT..
Camera works fine, speed is ok.. Seems faster then WM5.. But time will tell..
Thumbs up to the the maker of WWE and Dutch rom..

I have a MDA Compact III to, but the strange thing is that when I install the UK T-mobile rom and then try Tomtom it still does not detect a GPS device as it used to do! it always worked on the T-mobile rom and now all of a sudden it stopped working..

Downgrade finished right, now I have again wm5 and my TomTom works fine again, uffff !!!
I reviewed GPS Settings:
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (None) Baud rate: 4800
Yes Manage GPS automatically.
This weekend I will try again to upgrade to wm6, and I will use this settings to check if GPS works fine...
Device Info:
ROM Version: 1.12.405.1 WWE
ROM Date: 9/12/06
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocl version: 4.1.13.28
ExtRom version: 1.12.412.101
I used HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP to do the downgrade

I have the same problem, my GPS doesn't work any more, with NO GPS app! I have a German HTC and flashed the German O2 image. Downgrading is kinda difficult, didn't work. Does anyone have a German WM5 Rom? I'd rather put the old one back on there until a working GPS enabled version is out.

Wierd, do you have the original Tomtom shiped with the HTC?? I have a install cd from t-mobile, works fine if I flash from art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship to German O2 to Dutch custom.. Any other way of flashing then wifi, BT and GPS don't work on my device..

Did you installed some GPS app such us GPS viewer, or a navigation program such us TomTom?, because in WM6 Dutch Rom by bepe you will find in system sheet an icon called External GPS, there try to use the settings that I wrote in last post, and then use some GPS program to verify if GPS works or not...
Good Luck

My GPS is working after a soft reset, I think I messed up something with the ports, I use GPS Gate. Now everything is ok!!!

I have upgraded my HTC P3300 CID-Locked to WM6 and GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth are all working nicely. I am using iGO GPS application as well as several others.

Please tell us, wich wm6 did you used?, when I upgraded my HTC-P3300, I used WM6 Rom by bepe, but since my HTC is CID-Locked I only could upgrade OS using a post in these forums which talk about that... btw this weekend I will try again to upgrade to wm6 and then I will use GPS settings that I post before, and this time I will install those CAB (rapi and other CAB file which appears in procedure)

Check out my blog post of upgrading to WM6.
Hope it will be usefull.

OK - which RADIO do you have? - this is not clear.
You should try - Hard reset - install tomtom6.03 start up tomtom - sometimes for say 30s tomtom can say no GPS device - before the message changes to waiting for a valid GPS signal. Be patient.
Also search for "no GPS Trinity" here: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
you should find others with the same experience as you!
Good luck.

hi,
i have read in this forum, that any Radio ROM ending in 1 have GPS enable, so you must wait a litle time (1-2minutes) before your GPS program fix the GPS signal.

i installed it with trinity info guide and used this radio version 1.46.00.11. but my device information show radio version to be 1.16.00.00 and ROM version 2.0.8.2. should i flash it with another radion 1.46.00.11 GPS available on this forum? Pl help. sorry for double post, i was really confused where to put it and was really desperate for my GPS. i will be careful next time. thanks for your reply. i am trying other options

hey! We have exactly same problem! the radio also show 1.16.00.00 on mine!

Upgrade your radio then it should work! had a friend who had also a very old version. He got's it fixed with upgrade!

i have already replied you in the other thread where you posted this issue.. there's no need to double post this. I've posted the link to hard-spl 1.20
you need to use hard-spl 1.20 olipro to install your radio, 1.30 has resulted in radios not being flashed even though you follow all the steps.. there is a note about this in the guide if you read it carefully.

Flashed With Olipro 1.20
RACERX i have flashed it with olipro 1.20 but still it shows no GPS device? even after 20 minutes of keeping tomtom on. should i upgrade rom to 1.40 GPS, i saw one on this forum. although i have downloaded it but it ROM update utility shows pretty strange words on its menu!!! what next

what radio do you currently have

The problem is clearly that you radio ROM is not up to date - and that it why you don't have GPS.

hi buddy! I got it solved!!! Yes it's the problem of the radio, and seems that if your hard SPL version is 1.30, you are not able to flash the radio. everytime it seemed works but after flash the radio just remain the same.
read this thread,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1483529#post1483529
there is a radio ROM with hard SPL which flashs the hard SPL first then the radio. I succesfully found the device and got GPS working yesterday!

No - reading is out of the question. What you have to do (especially if you are new) is just create a new thread - or if not post the same question in as many threads as you can find that are half relevant.
(This of course is cynical sarcasm. Please - do not do the above. I implore you all to READ - as you will find the answers. Also - when you find an answer to your question - try thanking the person who brought you the answer - instead of pretending that you found something new out)

Probably radio version 1.46.00.11
i flashed using trinity info guide and used radio version 1.46.00.11. but my device information show radio version to be 1.16.00.00 and ROM version 2.0.8.2. should i flash it with another radion "1.46.00.11 GPS" (but RUU shows strange wording on the menu when i launched it but didn't install it cause i wanted a go from u) available on this forum?

my goodness... it says on the bottom of the guide in BRIGHT RED FONT "If you have followed these steps, but your radio has not been upgraded, please install Olipro's Hard-SPL version 1.20 found here using SSPL (do not enter bootloader manually) and try to flash your radio again. After doing so, it is recommended that you flash Hard-SPL 1.30 again."
i've now posted this info in the million noob threads as well... seriously ppl..

Thank You Very Much
RACERX you are the MAN, you really are an expert. Now my GPS device is working but searching for the signals as i am in Pakistan these days. Know of any south asian (pakistan or saudi arabia) maps available.
Besides tomtom, which one is the best GPS navigator? And if possible can u tell me where i can find information regarding using my laptops net connection for my PDA? i am an old user of computers (since 1991) but a newbee in the world of pocket pc, and its because of you that i could change completely my SFR s300+ into an english windows mobile 6. I will donate something for you man. I read many threads carefully but was wondering around untill you pulled me outg of this trouble.
Again THANK YOU VERY MUCH

glad it helped.. i'm not familiar with which map programs support pakistan. I use MapKing for Singapore where i am, and love it ... i don't see a pakistan map, but you can check http://www.mapking.com/en/MK10/MK10_Dowload_Eng.htm#Malaysia Tom Tom seems to be quite popular, but again i don't know what countries it supports. Maybe you could try garmin or something? I know that they at least support thailand and such.
about your net connection, you basically want to use your trinity as a bluetooth modem? I've never done it, actually, but i think there are some threads on it if you search around. sorry i can't be more help. let me know if you get stuck

Thanks Again
I really appreciate for your timely and valuable response.

Updateing Radio Rom

Hello!
I just got my Trinity today and GOD I love it.
Just updated to Mary 3.6 and everything is runnig smoothly. It said in the Q&A that Radio Version must be at 1.38.xxx iirc. My Version after update is not greater than 1.29.XXX. The update did not take care of this.
How can I get a newer Radio ROM?
Thanks!

DL & Install 1.46.30.11

Super that looks like it worked!
I now have Version: 1.46.00.11
But still I can't find a GPS Device.
I have a Vodafone VPA Compact GPS...so it should be activated by stock.
What could I do?

Where have you searched the GPS device?

you have WM5 or Wm6 installed on it ?
in early WM5 devices you dont see the gps, because it was not activated.
you have to update your rom, not only radio.
see links above.
or this one will help you:

I also Updated the ROM to Mary 3.6.XX
Radio is at 1.46.XX
I had WM 5 on it this morning (just got it)
Also couldn't find the GPS Device unter WM 5.
If I go to "start -> programs -> applications -> GPS Utilities" and then say "set up GPS device" it won't find one
Do I have to turn it on like wireless or so??
thanks!!

Here is the promised radio.

Radio is not signed and please posts your results

Hmm it´s on... in V 1.40
or did I get something totally wrong?
Or d´y mean the 2.60?

Flashed.
I have tested GPS fix just after flashing Panosha light 4 Rom. First fix in 9 seconds,with IGO8 (very good),second and third fixes instantly. Now I will test 2G and 3G signal in some "bad zone"

Cheers bepe, will check it out. I've not been impressed so far with any of the updates. What are you using in Germany?

I gona try to test it on 0.53!

Woooowwwww
Better signal in hsdpa, for sure and for the first time
11 satellites with tomtom 7 in five seconds....., man it rocks

woooowwwwww
forgot one thing: rom project diamond V2; and i'm testing at this time again; there is a big progress in terms of reception quality, here in france with sfr 3G+

Energy feedback ?
Please guys,
Don't forget to talk about energy consumption with this radio.
Thanks.

..me too stupid
Grrr
Today it´s not my day...
Gimme a hint...
Unsigned Olinex HardSPL 1.40
Custom RUU
When Flashing i get a "wrong device ID" error after 5% (Invalid MODEL ID)
(the RUU says that the Radio Image is V 0.0.0.0)
Any Clues?

about energy consumption, this is too early to say anything.....

Correct me if I am wrong, but GPS has nothing to do with Radio rom?

Hello Riel,
Are you sure ?
The GPS uses a communication protocol, right ?
What does the radio ROM on our PDA Phone ?

It all runs on a single Chip inside our Diamonds ;-)

How did you start the RUU? Try it from bootloader menu.
1, Bootloader
2, Start ruu.

So, I give you my feedback :
This ROM Radio give me only an EDGE connection.
Where I am, usualy I get a poor reception of 3G signal with .03 an .05 ROM.
But, with the .02.25.11 I've got no 3G signal.
No difference for me with the GPS fix.
For the moment, I'll back to the .05 one.
