Same problem - tried same solution - received same error
Hello,
QuickGPS doesn't download ephemeral data. I always have a good internet connectiond and I tried it often. It succeeded for me exactly once. The first time I tried it. I powercycled my device. After that it was possible to install the cab (I think the old quickgps application was running). And after that I was able to download my ephemeral data.

Ok, so here's my experience with my O2 Orbit 2, after two frustrating days and reading most topics on QuickGps, I think I understand what the problem is. So here's how i fixed my phone's QuickGps without installing any cab but just 1 download and playing with the registry.
My Orbit2's QuickGps worked perfectly for some months but and at some point some days ago it just stopped working. I started reading the topics here, and seen there's so many answers... but none worked.
I've set the registry keys as above... and nothing.
Well, that's because it's not just setting the keys. It's a bit more. A friend of mine also helped me, he has the same phone as I do (O2 Orbit 2) and I borrowed it for one day to compare the content of the two phones (registry and files).
So, the main cause why QuickGps stops working is because at some point, the ephemerides download that is stored in \Windows\xtra.bin gets corrupted.
So, if your QuickGps stops working, what you need to do first is check the size of the file \Windows\xtra.bin. If it's less than about 42k then it's corrupted. It's usual size is about 48K.
So you need to delete that file and download a new copy manually.
1. Download
http://service.mio-tech.com/eeservice/packedephemeris.ee
and rename it to xtra.bin. Then connect your phone via ActiveSync and copy that file to your mobile's Windows folder, eg \Windows\xtra.bin
2. Disconnect Activesync
3. Do a softreset
4. After reset, Launch QuickGps, you will see that it has updated the ephemerides data. You need to do this so the values of the registry get updated correctly.
Note: When you do this, the following registry keys should get updated by QuickGps automatically:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]
"RemindTime"
"Bias"
"ExpiredTime"
So you don't need to edit them.
5. Kill QuickGps
6. Do a softreset
7. After reset, launch a registry editor and make sure you have these values in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]
"folder"="\Windows\"
"region"="GB"
"INIDate"="20060531"
"remind"=dword:00000000
"actSync"=dword:00000001
"auto"=dword:00000000
"NotifyID"=dword:00001960
"INIFile"=""
"path"=""
"EEFile"="xtra.bin"
"curRegion"=dword:00000000
"curIP"=dword:00000000
"pwd"="1"
"authname"="1"
Please keep in mind that the key entry
"region"="GB" is region dependant, so you might have different entries like "region"="US" or "region"="AU" depending on where your location is.
8. Kill the registry editor, and re-launch it. Make sure the values from step 7 are in there and then kill the registry editor again. Repeat step 8 until you have the above values in the registry (I found out that for some reason, some registry entries were changed when phone was connected via ActiveSync or after I've run QuickGps and not softreset after).
9. Connect the phone to ActiveSync and launch Internet Explorer or a browser and go to any site, like Google or whatever. Once the page has been loaded, just wait a few seconds and kill the browser.
Explanation: you need to do this step because sometimes QuickGps just fails to connect even if there is an internet connection available. So you basically just force an internet connection. I was stuck 1 day at this point, my friend's phone and mine had the exact same xtra.bin (copied from his mobile to mine) and the same registry keys. However, my phone wasn't working and his was So sometimes it's not just the registry keys it is about enforcing a connection as well.
10. Run QuickGps and attempt to "Download" an update. It should not fail.
Just don't run anything manually inbetween steps, follow them.
If for any reason this guide does not work for you, then the problem most likely lies in the registry keys and/or the QuickGps's internet connection.
This method worked for me, hope it works for you. Let me know

Nice, my Quickgps is now working . Thanks
Menkul

It works for me great to!
Best Regards!

Works for me as well! Well it did once I realised I hadn't changed curegion from 1 to 0!
Many thanks

Thanks
Works for me too!!!!!!!
I used to have 6 days valid time and now its only 2d and 23h !!! I think ExpiredTime must be changed.
Many thanks

I had some problems with quickGPS, and now I´m using "seaSGEE" it´s a lot better, try it, you don´t need to install just place it anywhere and execute

You're welcome. You need to edit and enter:
"ExpiredTime"=dword:00002760
But I guess you probably already did that
That will give you 7 days (6d 23h 59m )

I have the same problem when I try to do an update I get a message "connection failed try later".. I do this via WIFI as I have never been able to connect internet via Activesync/USB.. Just was able to update meteo.. Can ayone help amnd givng me simple instruction on how to dela ??? Thank you:co

Mmm, yeah. Mine was working fine until 2 weeks or so ago, would ask me to download every 6 days and complete that just fine. Since then it fails to connect. I ended up just setting it not to try and download at all. It was getting annoying.
Is the update server dead or...?

quick GPS
I wonder.. I put the question to HTC and tehy suggested to do a hard reset... not very helpful.. What solution? Have you tried the manipulation indicated above? Did it fix the problem?

TomTom 6 won't start anymore

I have been using my PDA for some time now without major troubles, but now the TomTom Navigator 6 application can't start anymore. When I start it, I get the errormessage: "Unable to start. An error occurred accessing a file".
Well, I tried to deinstall and reinstall the TomTom application (I bought a full licenced version), but that results in the same error.
I can't find anything, like a log or so, on which file can't be accessed, so I'm hopelessly lost now...
Anybody any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Can't connect to activesync anymore

I am running WM 6.1 (Michyprima Full) and I wanted to flash to another ROM, however for some reason my phone will no longer connect to activesync on the desktop (tried two pcs). It can sync just fine via exchange.
Nothing has changed on the mobile device or the desktop; ActiveSync on the mobile device is set to allow connection via USB and activesync on the desktops is set to use USB to sync.
I know the underlying connection is ok because the device will start charging from the USB cable when it is hooked up.
What can I do to fix this situation so I can flash to a new ROM? I do not need to save anything on the device... I have tried soft-resetting.
EDIT: Also when I list USB connected devices on the desktop PC, I see one called "Windows Mobile-based Device"

did you use a ram cleaner
i used a ram cleaner and my device dosent get recognised by pc.let me know if you find a solution.

Have you tied going to Start/Settings/System (or Connections) and running USB to PC? Try unchecking 'Enable enhanced network' then OK back to the start screen and try reconnecting.
If that doesn't work, try a hard reset with the current ROM, and see if that fixes it. If so, you can then flash the new ROM.
If it still doesn't work, I think you can flash using a memory card or the Flash Drive without needing to access the PC.

Have you tried completely uninstalling ActiveSync from your computer, reboot, download and re-install ActiveSync. Its worked for me - sometimes the USB drivers become corrupt.

When I try and hit ok to commit the change of unchecking the advanced network functionality (it was checked before), the device just sits there with the spinning thinking wheel. Doing a soft reset and going back into the usb to pc shows the box still checked.
I will try a hard reset.

I think thats the only answer at present- the inability to change the A/S settings on the device suggest something's got corrupted somewhere

I was able to get it to sync after a hard reset.
However, when I attempted to load Michy's light ROM the device rebooted and sat at "Loading..." with a white screen. The wrapper then said error connection failed.
If I soft reset the device it comes back to the loading... screen; if I hard reset the device, it comes back to the loading screen after the hard reset. How can I fix this?

blast. left the stupid sd card in while i did the first flashing.
Removed SD card, re-hard resetted, then re-ran the ROM updater.

Sometimes its OK, sometimes it isn't- just one of those little mysteries I guess!
Glad its OK now. Michy's Lite ROM is excellent

Solution for deleted active sync notification called replog
YES...you guys definitely ERASED your Active sync NOTIFICATION file called replog. As someone suggested...he ran his CLEANER...then the problem begun.
It is true that Hard Reseting the device will get you back that file, but there is an easy way to do it...I can't find the original article but this file I will post will RE-CREATE that deleted replog notification file that is needed by active sync to work.
So next time you try and clean-up...just make sure you won't delete any file named replog
To use this FIX, just place it on your SD Card and run the file. If you want you can create an icon at Windows>Start Menu>Programs>to whatever folder... that will work too for easy access.
Just a word of caution...DON'T RUN THE FILE MORE THAN ONCE...why? Because it will re-create the file again. Although it won't hurt in any way except eat up internal memory, but you don't want any duplicated file... right?

WMDC does not run at all on Vista business 32

Hi all,
i am really very disappointed, already spent around 12 hours looking for a solution,
the WMDC does not run at all on my Vista machine which is Business 32-bit,
i tried to uninstall, install again, reboot, more than 20 times, with no luck
this is making me creazy, i couldn't find someone suffered the same
please help me, i am willing even to pay for this help
regards,

sounds like a corrupt vista install I would reinstall or restore it back to default

how to confirm its vista
Hi..
thanks for your post?
how did you confirm that its vista issue,
could i just put the vista CD and ask to rebuild?
will it remove my files on the system

yes itll delete everything
my advice would be to get 7

"i couldn't find someone suffered the same"
was a bit of a give away
you could try another vista computer to verify
or if you're using usb you could try using bluetooth and virsa versa
personally I never had any problems with vista wmdc

its not showing the interface
my home vista machine is working fine,
my machine, is not, its not yet about connecting my mobile,
the software it self is not showing,
i install it, without any error msg, it shows in the start menu, and in the programs of control panel,
but when i click on the icon in the start menu, nothing show at all,
i belive it should show the interface even if the mobile is not connected yet,

acctually it shows ew devices
hi.
it shows new devices as unknown device then the driver couldn't be found

if it's a work computer they prob just removed the rights of installing new hardware
from your user account

i tried both with my user which is part of the administrators group, and also tried with the administrator account directly,
both resulted the saem
it takes around 1 minute on the "0 remaining time"
then it just hide without saying its finished or completed,
the result is an icon in the start menu,
and in the windowsmobile directory in windows folder, it shows some files, like setup, and drivers
then if i check properties of the icon in the start menu, it shows that its for first time installation,
i click on it, it install again
then the changes are on the windowsmobile folder in windows folder more EXE files are there like WMDC.exe (but if run it, nothing comes out)
if i recheck the properties of the icon on the start menu, there is no more target application, (you could call it broken link)

whats happenning
i went through the installation part of it,
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/wmdc/install.htm
its exactly what happen with me,
but my side i reach the screen which shows "Installing device driver software"
then it failes after,
if i check the devices i find that it find a bluetooth device, but cannot install it correctly

you can, if you use cotullas sspl

I'm back to wm (official htc rom), and I can not fix the satellites (from Sense 3.5)...solution?

If you turn off gps in android you also turn gps off in windows mobile. Sounds a bit weird I know. I had this problem too. Solution was to flash back to Android turn gps on and flash to windows mobile.

You have the chance - like me :fingers-crossed: - to kill the phone as seen above. In that moment, all "heavy" members are silence . Nobody (can) help.
The only way to have back your phone is pay money in service center ! So, be careful when you try this !

NOT WORK !

To be honest: there is always a risk in flashing phones or other things.
And there is always a case where the usual way don't work.
I flashed my HD mini 20 - 30 times WM <-> Android, i tried everything what's provided here and my phone is still fine.
One thing that i can read (and not only here in this subforum) is, that the following way can bring the phone back alive. But you have to use the correct RUU (from your carrier) and maybe a goldcard (don't know on what this depends, i never needed one):

Go to microsoft activesync "connection settings" and untick "allow usb connection". Boot your phone to 3 color screen. Connect your phone to computer via usb. Open mtty.exe and select usb connection. Click ok. If all is ok enter these 3 commands:

task 2a and press enter
task 8 and press enter
Boot again to 3 color screen. Open your favorite ruu instaler and install wince. Thats all.

My phone not detect satellites - gps is detected in iGo. It is another way to repair this without "flash back to Android" ?
Thank you for intervention.
LE: In that moment, i run this http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/wiki/Android_Installation_Tutorial from sd card. I enable gps in android and launch "Navigation" but it stuck in "searching for gps". I can ' t acces market to install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en. How can i include GPS Status in android on sd card to see if my phone detect some satellites or not?

Maybe you have to play a little bit with GPS Settings: Put it on, see if it works, shut down phone, try GPS under WM 6.5, then start Android again, try GPS again (if it worked under WM), or put GPS off, restart phone and do this on and on again, as long as GPS is working under both (WM & Android).
I had also no GPS at first time and this way worked for me. But i know this can be annoying!

You also must remove it from your quote
You must allow in settings that you can install apps from another place as Google play.
You can install the apk by tapping it from a file manager like ES File Explorer.
