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.

This fix is for SPV M650(ARTEMIS)

when you try to connect satelites try to push this place-may be your antena have no contact with plate....

Thank you, it works! Vovander80, if you like, we can speak Chinese. Cheers!

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,

Thanks for the help. There is no Link in your Link. The link does not work at all. Please repost it. Thanks

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.

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

WM6.5 and GPS

Hi, I just upgrade my touchpro2 to wm6.5 and found the google map cannot use GPS, it can connect to GPS but said cannot find any GPS signal. Anyone have same experience? even I install other map program and the GPS didn't work......

Hi
I had the same thing. You can leave it outside in clear daylight for about 15 min as this is sometimes how long it takes to pick up the GPS after a ROM change. Also ensure that you have done the QuickGPS download beforehand.
In my case my phone was faulty from the start but after they replaced it it still took a while before it picked up the first time.

You could try HTC GPS Tool (attached). First, make sure there's nothing blocking your view from the sky; it's best to be outdoors. When you open it up, on the top-left there's a button "Open Port." Press that. Then press Menu > Satellite. This will now show you satellites near you (red). When they turn white (it might take a while), you know you are attracting a satellite. Now, without closing HTC GPS Tool, open Google Maps and hit Menu > Use GPS. It should now get your location.

I had the same issue after recently upgrading my 'stock' T-Mobile (US) TP2 to WM6.5. For me, this was resolved after a radio update. Am currently using 4.49.25.57.

check out the aGPS cab in my signature,really speeds up the lock time dramaticly, highly recommended.

Thanks for all your help! Thankyou!

Did you come right?

it seems get better but it need some more time to test!

I have a TP2 (unlocked European version, WM 6.5) and I have no problems getting a GPS signal. I always use the Quick GPS application before powering up my GPS software but when that's done I have GPS signal lock and location lock within 2-4 seconds, whether I'm using CoPilot Live 7 or Google Maps. I've also tried Navigon MN7, same thingm very fast GPS signal lock and location lock.
However, if I don't use Quick GPS it can take several minutes before I get location lock although it will find GPS signal.
All this is tested several times sitting in a moving car in both clear weather and cloudy weather. Also tested from within my apartment, although near a window.

Thanks for your suggestion but I already use quickGPS and still found the problem.

I flashed a new ROM today and the ROM only came with QuickGPS. I tried that, and I still couldn't get a lock. The only way I did get a lock was by installing the HTC GPS Tool (which I talked about in post 3) and using that app. Once I opened the GPS Com Ports, I got a lock in 20 seconds (indoors). I'm not sure if you tried it yet, but the HTC GPS Tool is really the only way I get satellite locks (with any ROM).

hi,try running google maps with the GPS turned on for some minutes, say about 20mins and then check if the GPS locked.I had the same problem when I updated my unrooted,unbranded and unlocked Desire on Monday.It took almost 20mins for the GPS to lock but after that,the GPS locked everytime i try to use Google Maps.I hope this idea solves your GPS issue.

I have the exact same problem. no gps signal at all. The radio is the same. Have you solved the problem?

Just be patient, very patient. The first GPS fix can take very long sometimes, even on dedicated units not just phones, has to do with clock synchronization and satellite identification. So just keep your phone out in the open with Maps startedand wait. Wait. Wait.
Once you get a fix the GPS will work much much faster.

No, with gps status you could not see any satellite after 1 hour of beeing in open sky.
Something was wrong software side.
Now with a rooted phone, same application, I get 10 satellites, and first fix after 10 minutes

You rooted the stock FroYo ROM? What HBOOT were you on?

It worked for me! I went to the roof as today is a bright day and used Tricorder app's Geo tab. Touched on it to show satellite.
It kept trying to connect to satellite. The tricorder app shows some satellites as green. Presumably as they are chosen to calculate location. It didn't finally lock-on till it was showing 12 satellites and 4 of them were green. I noticed that I had to remove the jelly cover and :
1. Stand still, she how many satellites it shows signals. In a few seconds it will stop detecting new ones.
2. It it hasn't locked on then move around a bit and change some orientation then step 2 again
3. Repeat above till it latches to atleast 4 green or 12 total signals (dont know which one works the 12 signals or 4 green)
and after that it easily updates even indoors for me.

i have the same problem and the same vers of froyo...etc . i tried with just gps ,motonav, gps test....and no change. after 20-30 min in open sky no satellite was found how can i fix this problem ? rooting is the only way ?
p.s. pascanu : daca te rog imi dai si mie id-ul tau de mess sa vorbim poate ma ajuti sa rezolv problema asta enervanta cu gps-ul ? ms

Im sending my phone to HTC

maybe changing the radio will help ?

I have the same issue, have tried a few different radios but still no satellites to be found, tried for 20 minutes with no luck.
Downgrading the radio now to test again.

Still nothing. Has anyone tried reverting to 2.1 to see if the problem still exists? Or is it a hardware failure?

try this... go to menu, settings wireless, network, then go to mobile networks, access point names, click on your service provider( the one with the green button by the side of it), like mine is o2 postpay then go right down to the bottom & open APN type, then type in default,supl

Thanks. I have exhausted everything now and it still hasn't found a single sat. Back to HTC with another hardware failure...
Has anyone else with GPS problems solved them?

I got mine back fully functional after 2 weeks with HTC.
All Free of Charge.
Great service.

Well, do ya know what they did to fix it? Would be nice for the rest of us to know I'm having issues on my Desire with the newest Froyo OTA update and radio 2.29.405.8...

Solved it just how the person said above, after the update that APN doesn't download the Satellite lists by default, you have to add that line to get quick GPS locks.

I've tried adding supl but I still can't get a fix. I'm on tmobile uk, stock rom if that's of use to anyone.

[Q] GPS problem..

Hi everyone,
I bought an HTC Desire few days ago. I rooted it and flashed a custom ROM : Leedroid 2.2e, so far everything's perfect.
But I hadn't tried GPS yet, so I did today and unfortunately I didn't succeed in making it work : I can see the GPS icon in the notification bar but the GPS won't localise me in any application : My tracks, Navigation and others...
I can only localise by mobile data connection...
I tried to reboot => nothing changed
I tried 2 others ROMs : OpenDesire and Modaco (last releases) => still nothing
(I waited 5 minutes each time)
I read some things about ZdeviceTest so I downloaded it and when I am in the GPS section I can see : speed = 0.00 and number of satellites = 0, on the NMEA part i can see something is moving like "$GPGSA,A1,,,,,,,,,*1E" coming back again and again with some other thing which I don't have the time to read
I tried to flash the lastest Radio ROM => still the same situation
That's why I'm asking to you guys if you can help me cause I don't know what else to do...Especially cause I bought it second-hand...
Is there a way to know if the GPS "hardware" is ****ed up ?
Any ideas ? :s
Thank you (and sorry for my English)

the other month when i tried leedroid 2.2b i had the same problem, i was trying to use kingmaker but couldnt get a gps fix, i tried gps test and although i had a weak signal it wouldnt connect to any satelites, i left it running in the background while i was out and about an hour later i got a fix, after that gps would get a fix straight away!! i think it mite be because we dont have a htc app like quick gps on android, it takes a while for the phone to find all the satellites

Ok thank you for answering could you tell me which app you used to fix the gps? I'll try that

I had this same problem on stock Desire. I pulled battery out for about five minutes. After that I got fix in about 2-3 minutes. Now it is working without any problems.

Hello guys,
Thanks for your answers I'm gonna try this today but I'm waiting to go outdoor because in my room I think GPS will never localise me
1) I have another question, on my good old HTC Hero I saw a tip one day to change the satellites or something like that with a file like gpsconf.xx do you think I can try that too on my Desire ?
2) Are there old flashable 2.1 Desire ROMs available ? I searched the forum developpement but it seems like there is only 2.2 ROMs ?
I'm asking because I contacted my seller who told me that the GPS was working fine before (true or not ? ^^)and I know he was on 2.1 Orange France ROM but when I rooted my phone I forgot to do a backup I'm such a newbie :/
Bye

I tried all your methods but none was able to fix the problem
I went running for 30 minutes and it didn't localize me and after that 1 hour in my car and still nothing.
So I think my GPS is dead :/
