Official patch for QVGA devices released today. TomTom Mobile 5 works like a charm on my SP5m.
Excellent. So no rebooting phone anymore with the new patch?
No, runs very good I must say.
Where can i find the patch?

The TomTom site would be a good start.....
I have a Navman S50. It comes with a very simple Windows CE version. I would like to install a version with more features like internet explorer, messenger etc. Can I install any of those mobile Rom versions into my GPS?
How? Any tutorial around?
Need I to make a backup from the ROM por posible warranty issues?
Thanks for advanced.
I´m asking for an imposible? Please, tell me something.
Sure...GPS, phone. They are all the same thing, right?
By the way, can anyone tell me how to load a ROM for my calculator so it can be a portable television?

I do not know if you are kidding, but I have heard about a guy who has Tv on his GPS. I hope I will can chat with him in next days. A friend saw it, and have internet and wifi.
My mother got a navigo satnav cheap from ebuyer, and I got tomtom and memory map running on it using instructions from this site: www.navsoon.org

You may be able to find a pda rom that would work with your Navman but not a smartphone rom because your Navman do not have the hardware that makes it behave like a phone. You could try a pda forum instead of trying to find help here. It would need to be a rom for a device that has the same specification as yours and even that may not work. It needs to use the same update method/bootloader at least!

i have tv, gps, and phone/data cababilities all on my xv8600 (Titan). So what? Why not just get a ppc6800 and be done with it?
i use it wil tomtom gps software, watch my home DVR/TV via slingbox software, use it to make/eceive calls with my blutooth headset, as well as send corporate and personal emails that sync up with my mail server....the xv6800 is the most powerful and expandable device on this entire forum, so just get one, and quit trying to ghetto-rig a GPS to make it what it cant be

Hello crobs808, I had a look to the ppc6800 at looks very nice, interesting the onboard keyboard. It´s an option but an extra investment I´m not sure if it´s worth. What I don´t like much are the 2.8" tft, seems quite small.
I´ll try to contact that guy that has his GPS working as a complete PDA. The good point it that the navman S50 has a 4.3" screen that seems more confortable to my eyes.

wovems, do you know any forum you would recomend? I think It will be no easy to find the correct forum. The doubt I have is; if the rom doesn´t work, could return it to the original? or is the risk of damaging it? That it´s the only important. If there is low risk, o no risk, can look for a rom, and try it, but if I would be on risk, so It wouldn´t worth to try nothing.
The Navman allows to intall some little programs on the Flash card, or the Storage card, but I couln´t find no internet browser that can be opened. Maybe the Windows Ce version is missing some dll files (have read something about), but I don´t know, and it´s dificult to find info about how to install that optional dlls.

just looking at specs, the kaiser seems wayyyy more powerful then the titan and seems like it can do a lot more as well. what does the titan have over the kaiser? and why did you point out just the verizon version, as far as i know they're all the same?

nah, no way...they have the same processor and all, but you cant get a CDMA version of the Kaiser, and EVDO/CDMA data rates are much faster than GSM model phones. I get 1600/800 on my verizon CDMA phone, so for that alone it's worth it...sure, if there was a CDMA Kaiser, then they might be on the same playing level, but I use about 8 email accounts with my phone, and need that speed to push/pull email all day long on all 8 accounts...cant be waiting.
Tested it out today, counted from when I opened OCN8 and it took exactly 30 seconds to get a fix. Perfectly acceptable if you ask me, especially seeing as I'll only use it for long drives.
great to know man
Thx for sharing
Did you try any button mapping software?
With or with out A-GPS??

With A-GPS, I don't think you can turn it off.
Only one GPS setting: Enable AGPS: Checkbox.
No, I haven't done any button mapping to the other person who asked.
Is the device as fast as shown in unwired videos?

Yep, 26 seconds for me using Garmin.
And yes, mine is as fast as the videos. Definitely an improvement over the Diamond, despite the Diamond's speed improvements with recent cooked ROM's.
Amazing what a bit of extra RAM will do...
Great, thanks for the info
Since you're using Garmin
I've always found it's notifications to be quite lower than other GPS s/w even when placing an attention tone prior
Is it any louder on the Raph speakers in comparison with Kaiser?

You know what, I've not managed to get a GPS fix using Copilot 7 or Google Maps.
Strange. Very quick for me too.

Make sure to download QuickGPS before you use those programs, that may be your issue.

Fast like, TF3D being fast? Check this video out, AT&T model, 100% out of the box and not 1 tweak applied:

Nope, still not working.
Have you tried GpsTest?

Oh, no...what's that? Is it something built in or is it an app I have to install?
EDIT:
Copilot has a GPS Status thing built in. Looks like I can only see one satellite. Kind of weird.

Are you outside or inside some building?
GPS works fine for me in both Google Maps and TomTom Navigator. Indoors is not so great, but whilst in a car it was fine all the way home on a 30 minute journey!

I'm in my house, my Kaiser right next to it is working fine.
GPS isn't supposed to work indoors... If you need it indoors, you may also need to be living in a psychiatric ward. :\
I got full signal in front of my house according to OCN8's little GPS status bar, for those who care.
As mentioned earlier, QuickGPS will help (hopefully as it has been useless for me since Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs started to be cooked)
BUT
You need to give it time first to aquire GPS fix alone THEN go back to your PC to download the QuickGPS data
To make sure you have everything afterwards successful,
reboot your PDA and see if you can aquire a faster fix.
You can test with GPSTest attached here.
If it didn't solve your problem, check with other fellow Raph holder their Radio versions and yours.
If you are to flash, do not forget to HardSPL your device.
Good luck and give us more feedback

@fireblade63
I'd say the notification volume in Garmin is about the same as it is in the Kaiser, so I agree - it's certainly not the loudest, but I'm someone who likes the Sat-Nav turned down a bit anyway. I hate having the things shouting at me, especially if there are other people in the car who I'm trying to talk to.
My father-in-law, on the other hand, could never cope with the Garmin / Raphael combination because he turns his TomTom XL up to full volume, which drives me mental on the odd occasion I have to experience it!
So, no, the Raphael is no louder as far as I can tell.

Not without an external TMC receiver it doesn't. Up to now TMC signal is not working without the use of an external TMC receiver.

Uhhh look at post #9..........
I bought sygic aura. He finds everything, points of interest, addresses, petrol stations, shops but my current location three blocks differs from the actual location. Even when I'm in the car nothing happens. My arrow is not with me. What is the problem here? is because the GPS is not designed for the HTC HD mini android?

If you look on the status page it says gps is not working

no there is something with my gps. it worked always no problems, but now for about 3 months my htc don't have any signal, even on WINDOWS MOBILE No signal. so i let it be , just wait 8 months than can i go for a new phone. . I now used my nokia N95 for navigation
Which WinMo ROM do you have? Have you changed it 3 months ago?
no , i had the lastest winmo version, now the oldest because i used a hard reset. so i guess i have on this moment the oldest. but i had this one a while ago : _HTC HD Mini_RUU_Photon_HTC_NLD_1.36.404.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship
For GPS issues, the first post in the tutorial "Install Android on HTC HD Mini" under the heading of known issues states in red font: GPS software in WM will not find satellites if you turn off GPS from location settings in Android
You should try the solution that is detailed in this thread. You have to follow this step even if you reflash any WM6.5 stock ROMS because reflashing won't fix the GPS issue. I know this from experience.
It is also discussed at length here
It is assumed you are using the latest build of Android for HD Mini. If there are continued issues, try a completely clean install (remove all old Android files from your SD card). If you still can't get GPS (both in Android and WM6.5), then maybe consider it is a hardware fault.

im sure it's a hardware fault. i have yesterday buy a adapt bluetooth gps and it is working fine. Fast fix even in the house. I think my internal GPS is dead. I used a lot . Almost 4 hours a day, 1 year long.

I guess drivers are different for a BT GPS when compared to the internal one. So if the BT works, it does not ay anything about the internal gps?

I would say if you do a hard reset in WiMo then you should see at least some satellites. Did you also try the app androsensor in Android? That tells you the status of all sensors, including the gps (i.e. location and number of sats). In that case you don't need a program like Sygic to check it. It works quite nice. Maybe worth checking?

looks bad. I understood you opened the device since you had issues with the proximity sensor? Are you sure you didnot damage any antenna cable or connector? I know there are 2 of them that are quite vulnerable, don't know where they are for.
