i've installed my new version of tt and having slight problems already
my first trip went fine but got to use it today for a propper run ,
at first everything went fine that is until a phone call then it started freezing after mile and had to do many hard resets to get it working again ,in th eend i had to put it into flight mode to get it to work properly
does anyone know how to over come this in any way ..i know tt5 is new but i use my pda for updating traffic and recieving of calls
thans
Heard there are issues with this andy, it seems xda2i doesn't like a headset plus something else with bluetooth running at the same time.

On the Tom Tom website it says version 5 is "available soon", and you already have it? How can that be?
got the upgrade pack mate, came in the post on thursday.
Where did you get it from then? I can't buy it from the Tom Tom website, because it just says "available soon".
Or is that just the software upgrade?
Then again, if the software is ready, the whole package should be available too, including the GPS device. Where do I get it?
No Idea, i found the webpage on the tom tom website for the upgrade and got it that way.
Don't know why the whole package is not avalable yet, have you checked other pda shops on the web to see if any?
TT% upgrade
Log out and re-log in on the main tom tom page, and it should appear for you...
Not too impressed with TT5 so far, but only loaded it last night
(TT Wired GPS for my car and oter Bluetooth GPS for when I'm not...)
TT5 and bluetooth.
Forgot to mention, I got in my car and had previously been using my BT GPS. XDA connected to BT car kit no worries, then I plugged in wired GPS - selected this GPS and TT5 turned BlueTooth off.... thanks Tom Tom, so I had to turn it back on for my car kit connection..
Pain in the butt.. :evil:
What should appear?

Hi all,

I doubt it, at least I have got it now

bugger!!! I have just bought an XDAIIi and installed 3.07 last week. It worked great until (as bluebotel has said in another thread) you go into another cell and the phone communicayes with the mast, then it locks up. I have tested tomtom 3.07 with the phone off, on, making a call with the GPS plug in and not plug in. Basically if the phone has to do something (call, change cell) and the GPS is plugged in, tomtom freezes. If you run tomtom but do not have the GPS plugged in (i.e. tomtom isnt actually navigating) then tomtom doesn't lock up when the phoned is used, so its obviously the GPS reciever, coupled with tomtom that buggering it up!!
Not sure what to do now, do i send the xda back, get different software or will there be a fix. I was going to try tomtom5, but looks like it suffers the same problem!! What a bag of crap!!!!
Does anyonbe know if it works with XDAIIs or XDAIII???
Hi all,
After receiving my Tomtom navigator 5 yesterday, I managed to drive to work this morning (Approx 20miles) without a lockup with the Phone ON!
We shall see how it performs whilst I use it. Upto now it seems a well worth product upgrade. In fact the thing that impresses me the most is the frame rate of the Navigator View. Its so smooth I could be playing a game. No screen jerks.
The whole software seems faster and fluent with integrated menus and web content. If the XDA2i doesn't lock up like it did on tomtom 3 then I will be more than pleased.
I'll keep you posted
Cheers
Lee
sounds promising!!!
If you go to the product section of Tomtom site it says the i is suported, but if you go to the support pages, it doesn't appear on the list!!!
I have a cracked copy of 5 to test before i buy it, but can't get it to inmstal
It didn't take me long to find how to make it freeze!
With the phone on it seems to be ok, still needs more testing, however; when you try to download traffic or weather updates using the GPRS, it freezes everytime.
So basically don't download updates or even have GPRS on in the background!
I'm still unsure if the phone causes it to freeze, its looking like it may do yet I haven't seem it do that yet only the GPRS connection.
I'll keep you posted.
Cheers

What a bag of cak!!
Just installed 5 and went to play in the car, but i can't get the GPS reciever to connect. I am using a holux cr100 cradle (wired), i select "other wired" and it just sits there searching, saying "no gps device". It worked fine on TT3

This is the same issue that I have with TT5...though if you perform the traffic update whilst connected to your PC instead, the update works fine and doesn't crash. It seems that the data is downloaded but then it can't update it into TT. If you wait a few mins, then tap the screen you get a slow menu, go to the TT traffic bit and it says "last updated 0 mins ago", so something is happening.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this as this is the one thing that is currently hacking me off about TT5...everything else works fine.

*cough* BitTorrent *cough*
People who bought TT3 were sent out TT5 via CD recently.
I have had the same problem with the BT GPS. What I do is go into the menu and tap on GPS status. Magically the GPS starts to work and it shows all the fixes.
From then on wards it works fine other than the lockup when using GPRS to update Traffic.

I have a new RAPHAEL and do get no fix...I installend Quickfix and tried much but there is no fix ?
Any idea which can help - please ....!
Thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420933
first fix can take a while. Make sure you are outside and leave the phone switched on with google maps or another app that uses gps. This can take over 10 mins before a lock is obtained. Quickfix is already installed on the device - no need to install?!
called QuickGPS (not QuickFix)
yep, same here just leave the device searching somewhere near a window or outside...it takes a while for the first one.
Really ...but how long 1 hour or more ????
Another question - I used the diamond tweak and after it the Rapha is faster but is there any other tweak which will fit better than he one for the Diamond ?
Does anyone know how to get the beamer at the right side thicker in order to scroll down ...

YOur first fix should aquire in under 20 mins provided that you are not inside your house and/or not surrounded by tall buildings. What application are you trying to get a fix with? If its google maps, you should see a series of dots followed by the number of satelites. The number represents the number of satilites that is using to get a fix, and therefore it will stay at 0 until it finds your position. There are also some tools on this forum that let you check the gps status discussed in this thread! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420933
ardsar - google maps is saying: 0 number of satelites.
I`m using "GPS Test" also and there I gt 3-4 yellow signs but in GoogleMaps itis only searching ....
It is really not my first ppc and many before wokd very well but here ???
Any other idea ?
Just go outside (take it on your next car trip to wherever) and use gps test or Google maps. At first I thought something was wrong with my gps but it just took a VERY long time (15 min - 20 min) to find my first fix. After finding my first fix, the next time I used the gps it seemed to find a fix faster. My bluetooth gps receiver I use for my other pda is 1000x better than the GPS in this device (it can find a fix within a building!). So just be patient. The touch pro will eventually find a fix. The gps is so far the worse thing I dont like about the touch pro (oh and no 3G support for North America).

3-4 yellow bars indicates that you are receiving data from 4 satelites, but have yet to get a fix. The device needs to download almanac data from the satelite which tells it where the sats are in orbit. Only then can it work out where you are. If you have a week signal or are in a building as suggested before, this signal can be very week and once it loses the data stream, it has to start again. It is important for you to be outside to get a good first lock and be patient, it will happen.
It is working - thanks so much for your help !!!
It is working - thanks so much for your help !!!
Gps doesn't work on my phone. Do I need to return it? Google doesn't know where I am and waze also today does the same thing now. Says no gps, go outside when I am outside. I had the storm for a few weeks just before I got the tp2 and it had no problem. Google maps knew where I was. On my tp2 it's set location on.
I don't know what to do. I have alot of anxiety over this now.
I hope someone will be able to please help me.
Thank you so much.
Joe
Did you:
1) SEARCH the this forum first?
2) Set your phone's GPS option to always on instead on 911 only?
3) Update the "Quick GPS" Program?
4) Select the "Use GPS" option in Google maps?
if you answered "No" to any of these, please return your phone and get your storm back.
Yes I did all that.
hmmm... does Google maps day "GPS active" or "Seeking GPS Satellites" up in the top right corner??
It said seeking.
I did not click the gps button in google maps. I thought I did click it. Sorry
it then said it found no gps hardware after j enabled the gps. So I did a memory, storage button and erase back to factory. So I'll try again. But, what is the google.com URL to use to get google maps for my phone? Only thing is one place said google maps is not available for my phone. I forget what site said this.
Google hates Opera Mobile for some odd reason, try going to m.google.com in pocket IE or whatever it's called and select Google Maps from there.
Ok. Great. Thanks. Yes I was using opera.
I just think of it as IE. Don't know what pocket pc means really. So I'll use the built in IE mobile and try m.google.com and report back. Thanks so much.
Joe
don't forget to do steps 2 through 4 in my first post.
I just got back from a walk to test the gps. It worked awesome with google maps. I installed it first to sd card. I tried to run it and it would not work. It popped up some sort of error. Like runtime maybe. I forget. I went to remove programs and it wouldn't remove it giving same error or something. I forget the error. So I had to manually delete the new folders on the sd card. Then I installed to main storage and it worked.
It says gps 10 in the top right. What does this mean?
It was dead on accurate. It was literally exact and when not probably within 20 feet or less. I thought it was funny when I would walk into the middle of the street the blue ball followed me and when I was in the middle of the street it was too. Kinda eary like lol. It was awesomely accurate.
Does google maps have turn by turn directions? My cousin who has iPhone says it does. I know it won't talk to you .
Can you guys recomend other free gps apps/services? Waze doesn't work good since alot of times it looses connection and won't try to reconnect. I also doesn't have good coverage which I don't understand. It's using gps so how can it not know where I am?
I just can't afford money cus I'm on disability right now and don't work. I have a huge visa bill I'm paying and now I have to have a tooth replacement which will cost me upwards of $3000-$4000. This range is possible. So free is preferred of course. However if there's a free trial of a good one I don't mind trying one.
What is the use for gps device with this phone? The phone has external gps settings. What's this for?
Sorry for all the questions.
The "10" at the top means that 10 satellites got a lock on ya (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) And yes, you can get turn by turn directions, but sometimes, even google makes mistakes with it's addresses, so be careful. I'll leave the rest up to anyone else that has some good suggestions or answers...
Also... everything is free on the piratebay...you know... just saying...

Also try Windows Live Search Mobile, or Bing mobile, whatever it is called.
It does routing a bit better then Google IMHO, and has a warning tone just before a turn. Though still no speech.
The only problem is that it expects to have a D-Pad for zooming in and out. The TP2 doesn't have that, some zooming in and out is a pain.
IGO 8 is a great GPS software at least IMO. It has very little lag during navigation and so far I have found it to be one of the most accurate as far as the maps are conerned. I have used just about every GPS software there is whether it is free or paid subscriptions and IGO 8 it the only one that actually show the front entrance to my community on the maps. According to all other GPS softwares it does not exist. I have used all the current versions and IGO 8 is the only once showing this. Every once in a while it will take me on a longer route when I know there is a shorter way, but so far if I do not know where I am going it will get me there. It's not perfect but I find it the fasetest and most accurate for what I use it for. I am sure others will have different opinions.
Google it.
Google Navigator
Google maps works okay by itself, but it apparently works better with this and its also free. Make you wander how anyone will be able to charge for navigation in the future if it works well. Looks as good on screen as any commercial product.
http://google-navigator.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
Never mind this suggestion. Upon further looking around it actually costs $59 bucks. Not what you are looking for. The trial does not even allow actual navigation to start.
I have a VZW TP2 for about two weeks. I put Bing and Google Maps on it and the GPS appeared to work OK. Then it stopped.
For over one week no GPS. Right now I put it in the back yard on a table. Clear view of the sky. No luck.
My TP2 does not have QUICKGPS. I have been told that is standard on all TP2's. Verizon said to do a hard reset to get it.
Are those of you having success using QUICKGPS? Any idea how to get it without doing a hard reset and hoping it populates on the device???
JG
Thanks for the responses so far. I appreciate it.
Quick gps should be in the phone. If not there's only hard reset back to factory. However you got it that way and it should be on the phone. If it's not then return it for another. That's what I'd do anyway.

I did the hard reset. Quick GPS was there! I have quite a few hours of work to reset the phone and reinstall the programs that I had.
I would estimate 4-5 hours to get the phone back to where it was. This sure seems like a lot of work to get one silly file on the TP2.....
I can't find that Microsoft maps app nor this igo thing.

Are you talking about Live search? If so, just google it or go to msn.com and go from there.
Horrible lag
You huys are telling me you have no lag in your gps??? I can lock in seconds no problem but when I use any nav software is has a 10-20sec lag! It blows..... I have a solid 8-13 sats and same thing. I went as far as doing a hard reset and installing nothing but googke maps and it still lagged........ Any help?!?!?!
Tp2 comes with live search already. I thought it was search only so I never opened it. Well I did finally and it's better then google maps because it shows the directions on the bottom of the map screen while you move. And I heard it beep at me on my driveway which I just was testing it. Kinda neat but it sucks cus it's your system beep I think and volume is far too soft.
So I updated to the new version which is bing and installed it to my sd card. I haven't tested it yet though. Oh yeah. Picture quality in live/bing is the WORST ever!!!! It sucks balls. It's blurry and hurts my eyes to look at it. Any other map app I'm sure is a kazillion times clearer like google maps has an awesome clean clear crisp picture. F ms I say. Since it's such a Terrible picture.
Or is there something to set to make it not so crummy I wonder?
Hello all,
I am writing this topic to let you all provide of this super tweak! Here I show you how to get this fix. With this tweak I got a gps fix within 10 seconds(under clear sky), better, more, faster satellite fixes.
First I used this tweak:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427888
(I suggest you to first hard reset, and then apply the tweak. But I guess it will also work right if you don't) Do everything EXACTLY like the tweak says. If you don't do it right. It might fail.
Next tweak.
I found this tweak when I was searching for tweaks for my Samsung Omnia. I found this application. I have tried my gps first before installing this application. It was a weak signal and I could only find like 4 satellites and it took me like 15 minutes to get a fix. But when I applied this application, I got a fix withing 10 seconds!!! And with at least 7 satellites!! Here is the application;
http://www.mediafire.com/?zilthagdhey
Settings:
In settings/system/External GPS, The GPS Program port is COM4, No Hardware port and a Baud rate of 9600. In GPSModSettings(Found in main program folder) I have set; log file, Extended, Smooth to blank marker, Sleep time 1000 GPSModDriver to Comport 1 and enabled.
Then scroll a down a bit for the next settings.
GPSID External GPS to Com Port 4 and enabled.
Congratulations, You have done the tweaks now! I hope it works right for you guys and good luck with navigating!
PS I am using radio: 1.02.25.32.
What application??????????????????

You could try it yourself. The tweaks are just default. So that would be thrustable.
Is the test really valid ?
Once i have a fix in an any application (no matter how long), if I quit then start another application and use the GPS, i got a fix in 10 seconds. Wait a few hours between your tests
no wayyy to be so.....
guys it is only me who didn t get this,or u still don t get the picture.GPS isn t need a fix.The phone is **** as it comes out the HTC factory.BUT!!!
u need a new radio rom,and no more problem with GPS I personaly use TAE rom and since that moment my GPS problems are past!!!!
So if u have time just create fixes,but .....WHY?? Flash and enjoy!!

This small guide is an instant GPS Fix tried on Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 and may work on other phones. This small guide will reduce the time taken to lock to satellites and has been tested inside a building with 8 floors and I was able to achieve lock to 4 satellites.
A much better guide to GPS Fix is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13133654&postcount=142
Since that guide requires a little bit of manual work, so this is just a small software tweak
So here is what you have to do:
1. Turn Off GPS
2. Open LibTestMode. If you do not know how to open it then you can open it by typing the following code in the dialer (Froyo Only): *#*#3214789650#*#*
3. Under "Application settings" Change "Operation Mode" to Standalone. (Some people have reported better accuracy with MS Mode)
4. Under "Application Settings", Change "Timeout(s)" to 100
5. Under "SUPL/CP Settings" Change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276
6. Reboot
NOTE: The attached screenshot is inside the building. I have received better results outside and accuracy of upto <40 feet was achieved.
Cold Start- GPS.
Hi there,
My Samsung Galaxy Pro was a bit reluctant in locking on to satellite signals, it used to take no minimum than 5 minutes.
Then I chanced upon an app in the market: "GPS Aids"... Do check it
Just wanted to know your views on "GPS Aids" & such alike apps...
Im now getting GPS lock in less than 5secs with 9-10sats in view & 7 in use inside my 3storey building surrounded my such more buildings and tall trees.
The best accuracy rate I have achieved is 2metres & most of the time it is 4metres
Thanx,
S.K.Pingua,
New Delhi.
Gps aids? does it really work so well? let me try it
Yes GPS AIDS V2 is a great software. I am getting GPS lock within 3-10 seconds on XXKB3 FW.
i'll try it and then post about thanks for the advice!
Gps aids works really well indeed, i get a lock within seconds, thanks a lot mate

GPS FIX i9003
I purchased my i9003 a fortnight back and had wonderful opinion , till the time i checked the GPS and surprisingly it did not work, could not understand how a product can be defective out of box. however when i googled for a fix , came to know there was significant issues with galaxy S phones
Contacted Samsung customer care , the technical folks have no clues and seems to from a different planet,all of them either denied there was a problem or asked me to do a hard reset, one tried to convince me for an hour that A-GPS worked only on network triangulation and did not have a actual gps and will give only an approximate location.
coming back to the problem , The earlier issues in Galaxy s related to configuration which were rectified by a fix and 2.2 update
the problem with i9003 i feel had something to do with the inbuilt sensor, i tried lot of software from android market including GPS Doctor, GPS Aids, GPS Fix, GPS Status, GPS test and GPS essentials among others... none of them were able to fix the problem , although few of them were able to detect gps satellites ( sometime even 12) but were not able to get a fix. the sad part was two of the apps were paid apps and total waste of money
In my trial and error approach I tried a software called Turbo GPS (its free) from android market, the major difference in this software vs. others was it had its own software to manage the sensors and after installing software the problem vanished. all you need to do is to run Turbo GPS wait for a couple of minutes and then start google maps. it worked like a charm.....

Hi adgdeepak, tough but successful experience. everyone has a share of GPS challenges, nice to know yours.
I crosschecked & double checked but could not find "Turbo GPS" on Android market!
Anyway, happy navigation
Not to take anything away from the OP author or anyone else, but would anyone be willing to test mine out? It is in my sig. If it helps you great, but its more for me to see if my theory is right that any android phone will work.
So far, it works on the Droid, Captivate, Aria, Inspire, Desire +HD, HD2, and the list goes on. I will not be checking this thread But its another alternative I wanted to point out, and am curious of its success.
'good old fix' for captivate or vibrant strikes again...same with 'press antena' one, nothing new...
again users have to fix their phones by editing service menu and with a piece of paper/coper =)
as it is PROBABLY the same BCM4751 chip - with same crappy board-antena contact as in sgs - you SL users are GPS handicapped ;]
could someone check what chip it carries?

No buddy, we do not have problem with GPS. Locks within 5 seconds with XXKB3 firmware.
I saw you your post on [ROM][ODEX] SATAN.XXJVO beta1. Would you like to help us in porting few goodies from I9000 or can you guide us whom to contact for porting clockwork recovery for I9003. Thanks in advance.
i also have instant fix, that never was an issue
real problem is with recorded tracks (eg mytracks) - while i am not moving fixed position likes to travel around, and wile moving it likes to record me off position
what bothers me is also fix stepping - every 5m not by 1m ad in my 5 years phone
as for CWM ask Chainfire

3. Use the forced LTO method from the setup wizard of GPS Aids. (this requires your phone to be rooted. Native method does not work for me.)
4. run LibTestMode and change the Application Settings -> Operation Mode -> MS Mode (Standalone did not work for me)
5. Reboot
Looking for to use this when I go back to Bangalore again.
