My TYTN II has been flashed to Dutty WM 6.1 & Radio 1.64, but I can't get my GPS working.
Previous ROM was Schap 4.30 & Radio 1.27, with those my GPS working fine.
I wonder wheter it's WM 6.1 bug or Radio for WM 6.1 bug.
I've tried GPS Tool & it's said invalid GPS data.
I live in Indonesia, SE Asia.
Anyone has same problem ??
Read before posting issues. First of all you need a compatiable radio for 6.1 which is listed dutty's post. First install the radio then hard reset then install dutty's rom then hard reset. All the problem will be solved.

From what I can see, he is using a 6.1 radio.
1.64.06.04
1.64.08.21
Are both 6.1 Radios. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I don't think its the radio. What options are you using in GPS Tool? And did you try running QuickGPS first?
Heres the quoted instructions from Dutty's 6.1 thread:
duttythroy said:
To make sure you properly get a GPS signal. First run Quick GPS.
Start > Programs > System Tool > QuickGPS
Hit download and when it’s done it ok
Now run GPS Tool
Start > Programs > System Tools > GPSTool
Click Open and then click start.
Click on the Satellite tab and wait till the bars turn green once this happens you will have a GPS fix.
*You can also verify the this by clicking the information tab and wait till you have a Latitude and Longitude fix:
Now you can use your GPS software.

Try to go back to radio 1.27.xx.xx!
possible the new 1.64.xx.xx have NV item 143 set to 11
If GPS work on your 6.1 Rom with 1.27.xx.xx Radio ... try the modded 1.58.xx.xx Polaris Radios!
i have the same problem with gps, also igo gps program locking when it found the port 4, it is awful, i hate the 6.1 also last radio

I thought 6.1 won't run on a 1.27.xx.xx Radio, or at least thats what I was lead to believe when reading through the threads (could be wrong), or are they backwards compatible but not forwards compatible?(i.e. 6.0 on a 1.64 radio). *shrug*
I agree with Netrunner though and just try one of the Polaris Radios, which is what I plan on doing when I get home because of the reported successes people have been having. Not sure why you're getting invalid GPS data, what settings are you using in GPS Tool and what other apps do you have running?
Use 1.64.08.21 best radio for 6.1 for bettery performence and gps here is the linkftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Kaiser/Radio/KAIS_Radinly_1.64.08.21_CustomRUU.rar

i'm using Duttys WM6.1 5.2.19716
Radio 1.58.26.20
GPSTest keep saying GPS Starting up and GPSTool saying Fix not available.
I'm in Brasil.
Will try to get another radio.
Is it important to update the radio before the rom?
[]'s
I found its good updating radio then flash the rom. Lots of problem get fixed.
Go to settings, connections, External GPS Settings, go to Hardware, choose COM4, Baud rate 57600, then go to Programs, choose your preferred GPS program port (I used COM1), click OK.
Run GPS tools, try open COM1, see if it will work.
This is only a temperary solution, for some reason the COM port in the hardware tab will be automatically reset to (none). I still don't know how to make it stay that way. Anybody can help?

Me, too. But after i flashed the radio with polaris 1.58.21.23 one, now the gps is perfect. Try it!
Yeah, interesting. My GPS also doesnt' work properly with 6.1 ROMs. Tried the 1.64's and de Polaris one, they take waaay too long to get a fix, even if there are many satellites available. Will try to flash a radio first then flashing a ROM, as stated in a few post above.
I've tried Radio 1.64.06 & 1.64.08, but GPS still not working.
Radio 1.27 & WM 6.1 will give me No Sounds at all.
I've hard reset after each flashing, run Quick GPS to download data, but still no go.
Will try : Radio 1.58 & changing COM port.
Just came across this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1912053&postcount=410
Maybe QuickGPS is not getting the Regional Settings properly and we have to manually adjust it.
It would also explain why some people doesn't have this issue, maybe the 'default' QuickGPS contains specific information to their region, like places "near" the Greenwich meridian, and obviously on the Nothern Hemisphere. At least I suppose that's what it[QuickGPS] does, update some data that help the GPS receive the ephemeris.
Since I live in South America, it would take a little longer for my GPS to get a fix if he thinks he is somewhere in Europe.

That makes a lot of sense.
I just flashed Dutty's 6.1 with the 1.58 Radio.
At first I thought the GPS was not working ... it took endless minutes before it finally got a fix.
I did see lots of red "satellites" on the GPSTool - Satellite tab.
Just took forever the first time to get a fix.
how i fixed my gps
I have the tilt plus Sleuth 3 (WM6.1). My gps did not work (couldn't find any satellites) with the WM6.1 compatible radio .23, so I decided to try another radio. Alltheway uses .14 and has an Oakland Raiders avatar so I figured since I am in the SF Bay I should try that one first. Bingo, problem solved. Short of it is, just try all the radios to exclude the simplest solution first. There are only 5 or so. I love this site.....its seriously impeding my productivity.
mine ok. but little bit slow to get fix. try use gpsgate.
Cooked ROM based on Vodafone WM 6.1 ROM will take forever to get a GPS fix regardless of the Radio. The only way to get it to work quicker is to run QuickGPS and download the newest data everytime you run your GPS.
Cooked ROM based on the older HTC WM 6.1 ROM is better i getting a GPS fix. At least that is the case for me.
After virtually a whole day re flashing ROMS I think I have now reached a definitive answer to this problem of dodgy GPS performance. I have had the same issues myself getting reliable and quick satellite fixes for my GPS enabled programs. Usually having to resort to launching GPSTools in order for a fix to be established. No more. After reading that re flashing the ROMs could be the answer I backed up the main memory using Sprite Backup, HARD RESET my device then re flashed Radio v1.64.08.21. I then HARD RESET and re flashed Dutty's WM6.1 UC version ROM. As soon as the configuration message appeared I HARD RESET again. I then reinstalled my backup and ran QuickGPS. My GPS performance was faultless Not satisfied with this I did the whole procedure again but this time I tried the Polaris Radio v1.58.21.23 as I had been reading some good reports about it but when I came to test my GPS I couldn't get a fix. I then went through the whole process again using Polaris radio v1.58.25.14. Again this has been reported as having a low battery drain and good reception. The GPS again worked flawlessly.
So there you have it, get backing up, HARD RESETTING, re flashing the radio (v1.58.25.14 or v1.64.08.21), HARD RESETTING, re flashing the main ROM, HARD RESETTING then re reinstalling the backup image.
Let me know how you got on!

SOLVED - I ended up flashing to the 1.64.08.21 Radio, then Dutty's Latest. Now GPS works. WEIRD!!!!
Hello,
Back story: I'm running Q-Mobile 1.2, all is well, GPS works fine because I used it all the time. Then I had family in town, took some photos using the GPS photo option, didn't work. I filled it away under the curious and just got around to testing.
GPS Test now can't find my device, keeps reading "Searching for GPS Device", HTC GPS Testing tool just stares blankly at me like I have the answers.
Live search GPS doesn't work.
Google Maps GPS doesn't work.
What I've done to try and fix:
I reflashed the 1.27.14.09 radio... didn't change anything.
I reflashed the entire Q-Mobile Rom... didn't change anything.
I tried Dutty's new WM 6.1 Rom... didn't change anything.
I tried Alex's ROM... didn't change anything.
Tried the "new" AT&T Rom from the HTC site... didn't change anything.
I'm back to Q-Mobile, still doesn't work.
There is no reason why the GPS should not be working, the phone hasn't been physically damaged in anyway, everything else works fine.
I'm at my wits end, I need some outside help/guidance. Can ANYONE please help? Everything I've searched for and come up with so far hasn't worked.
As always, any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!
thats funny, because my GPS has been randomly working and not working these past few days....2 days ago it wouldnt pick up a signal at all, yesterday very strong signals, today, dead again......not sure whats wrong...
This is strange.... because a friend just lost his GPS also. He's using a 6.0 based ROM with various radios tested.
He's using a Tilt varient.
Could this be some sort of AT&T issue?
(I run the same ROM as him -I flashed it myself- and am also on AT&T with no problems.... yet)
GPS seems to be location dependent.
But here's my thought : if you want to use WM 6.0 then flash to Radio 1.27.
For WM 6.1 then flash to Radio 1.58.
Don't forget to change the Quick GPS Region in registry & then run it.
Hope that can help.

my region is set to US in the registry.....not sure that its the problem, because it worked perfectly fine w/ these settings before...
Yeah, my GPS as well. At first i worked perfectly. I used Google map and locate me, I show the exact position where I was. Then yesterday and today, my point have been moved further where I'm. And then I tried TOMTOM, and the performance is kinda slowe than before.
I'm using Radio 1.64.08.21, and UDK-7 R2
okay so i just went out to test it again, and ran GPS tool at 4800. I let it go for 2-3 minutes and eventually, it found a fix on about 12 satallites. after that, tom tom locked my location really fast, like a charm.....
give that a try.....if you just flashed, initial gps fix might take some time...
Alright, I'm going to try Dutty's latest again, only this time w/ the 1.64.08.21 radio... I'll see if that matters. I'll post when done.
UPDATE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365058
I installed the ROM on this thread as a test. ROM sucks bizzalls, but GPS Test if finally working! I'm going to flash Dutty's latest overtop, it should keep the radio but put his ROM down. More to follow.

Please post the registry string that changes the demobraphics to the US. Thanks.
Do we have a listing of these location codes as the US is a big place and it might have more than 1 code depending on location.
Can people post what they have in the registry of:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]
The value of :
"region"="--"
I tried GB in mine (United kingdom) as another user (Dutch had reported using NL in theirs and GB is our equivalent. It definately seemed to lock faster.
I am using Dutty's latest rom and the region was Blank in after the flash, hard reset and setup.
Does the quick gps download different data depending on region or does it download all of them but start the search based on which should be the closest satellites based on the location setting in the registry. I presume once it has gained its locks it remembers for next time. (I think this remembered data is valid for 4 hours).
There are only about 28 satellites in total and up to a maximum of eight to eleven depending on time a(s the satellites are not geostationary) being visible at one time

I used Dutty's WM6.1, ran QuickGPS then got a fix (took very long the first time) ... now my registry says Region=US
I noticed that there is another key that might be of interest:
curRegion = 0 (00000000)
Could this be current Region?
I've changed the region in the registry from "--" to "SE" (Sweden), but the string won't stay put. After a reboot and running QuickGPS, it goes back to "--". I've tried waiting a couple of hours after editing and holding the power button to shut down, but it doesn't help. I made a little MortScript and added it to startup:
Code:
While (1)
WaitFor ("QuickGPS", -1)
If NOT regKeyEqualsString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
RegWriteString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
EndIf
Sleep (10000)
EndWhile
This works and keeps the "SE"-setting, but having the script running constantly isn't exactly optimal as it uses processing power (around 4% currently) and thus adding to battery-drain. Anyone have any ideas on a different way of making the script, which is more effective/power-saving? Or is there an even better way to make the registry key stick?
I am having some GPS issues as well but not as bad as GPS not working. Two problems have been bugging me: Getting a slow GPS fix and my location seems offset. I am using CoPilot Live 7 for my navigation software. It shows me a little bit 'off' from my current location. I am using 1.58.26.20 radio. Should I change my radio? Do I have to change the radio first and then reflash Dutty again?

Just bought my TP and Destinator wont find the GPS.
I go to Extra -> GPS Signal and Find, it keeps looking for some minutes and then "No GPS found" or something like that.
In google maps when I enable "Use GPS" it keeps "Searching for GPS Satellites (0)"
Any ideas why is that?

The last. With the ROMeOS 1.12 navigon finds no gps at all. I have this problem only with this rom.
I had the same issue and it was resolved with the latest cingular radio, before I even flashed a custom rom.
Simply put the custom RUU with the .nbh file in the same folder and run it. Follow the instructions and in a few minutes it will be done. Make sure you have HardSPL, but as you have flashed a custom rom, it means you are good to go. Good luck

Updated to Cingular Radio 1.02.25.31 and problem persists, any ideas why?
Destinators says "GPS não encontrado" in portuguese which means "GPS not found"
Is there a chance that my TP has the GPS chip broken or something like that?
Have you ever heard something like that?
If you use the stockrom than it should be working.
Did you try to use a manual configuration for the gps ?
select comport 4.
I got the this problem originally in the stock ROM and original radio version
I've never seen GPS working in my TP, I got it 2 days ago
then I tried upgrading ROM and radio to solve and problem persists..
where do I manually configure the GPS? Or do you mean inside Destinator? There I already tried all COM ports (1-7)
I assume that you are OUTSIDE when trying to get a satilite lock? First fix can take 10mins in clear open space.
Appologies - ignore my statment - i've just re-read the title of this thread - sorry!
yeah its not a problem about lock, its about not finding the internal GPS device
at least is what destinator says...
in google maps when I try "Use GPS" it keeps "Searching for GPS satellites (0)"
Already tried outdoors, and I here in my room with window opened my Omnia gets lock in about 15 seconds with cold start
I just flashed DCS v15 ROM and no changes.. also tried flashing Cingular 1.02.25.27 instead of 1.02.25.31 and same problem
I also have the same problem. iGo won't find the GPS, neither will Google Maps. I'm using a DCS ROM. I'm about to try the radio flash suggestion but as I'm not convinced the GPS chip is controlled by the radio I'm not sure what effect this will have.
The DCS v1.5 rom is another fine rom, and the gps should work without problems.
I have the same rom with radio 25.19 and have no problems with navigon or google map, they work perfect.
Try to use another software aplication where you can see the gps situation.
So you are really sure that Destinator is not the problem, because you can't see the GPS situation in GoogleMap.
If another app also can't find any gps device, than, I think, you have a hardware problem

My english is bad sorry for this. I have htc tytn 2. After loading a new dutty's rom, some problems happened. I opened the gps settings of ıgo 2008 ıt can find the gps device com:4 port 57600 and then it can not connect to the satellites. Before i loaded the new rom, it tooks about 1 minutes to connect the satellite but know it takes 10 minutes sometimes never. Already thanks for your help.
it might be a problem with your radio.
as i don't know much about the kaiser i can't give you a direction for which radio to use.
but i suggest you go to the Kaiser section in the forum and look for a radio rom which is known to work.
people leave comments about radio roms and os roms all the time.. you'll most probably find what you need.
Thanks for your information. My radio is 1.64xxxx. Acording to the sugestions 1.65xxxx radio is better with wm 6.1. I'm going to load the new radio. if the problem is radio, it is going to be allright.
hope it works for you

Thats ROM related, i would strongly suggest you to post it in the dutty thread,. you will get help so quickly there,.
I own a tytn II device, and i am a ROM cooker too (see my sig), so i have some to suggest you,.
- Use advanced config to "disable aGPS"
- If you could find aGPS in the setting menu, then "Disable" it
- Make sure you have Update your Quick GPS
- Usually, dutty upload the ROM with the RADIO included, so maybe its not the radio problem,.
- in case you want to try your RADIO, just try 1.58.25.17
- if it still doesnt work, try hardreset, or reflash
So, i hope this help for you
Hey Guys,
I have been browsing the forum and I had my GPS working for awhile with google maps but now with GPStest I can't get past the gps is starting up point. I had installed ATT navigator, but then I uninstalled it. I have Quickgps updated but i'm not getting an accurate reading on google. I have it set to com4 4800 and on gps test i have it set to com4 38400. I've tried altering setting but to no avail. What should I do?

I used the com4 38400 setting for all, and that did the trick. It still takes a little while for the first fix, but then it works fine until a soft reset when you have to do it all again. Are you using stock ROM, what radio are you using? These might me part of the problem.
Yea i have it set to those setting but i never get a lock it just stays on GPS starting up and never gets past that. I have the [ROM][WWE][3.8.2009][5.2.20771 1.4.6]Just Perfect FUZE ROM[1.1 Released] flashed. I'm not familiar with radio maybe thats the problem. There is fm radio installed but i've never used it...

Talking about a different type of radio, you can find out more info here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_ExtractedRadioRoms
I highly recommend radio: 1.12.25.19 my GPS improved greatly after flashing that one. Works even better if you have the AT&T test ROM or one based off it, like NATF's 4.5
You can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439566
Follow this great guide if you decide to flash a new radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008

Okay so I'm finally going to request assistance from the xda community for a problem that I seem to be having that I cannot resolve. I live in California and my provider is ATT and of course I'm using the HTC Touch Pro (Fuze.) And I'm trying to get my GPS to work. My phone is hard flashed with the Elite RC4 ROM and I've tried a couple different radios being:
1.12.25.19 - Raphael Radio from Test rom
1.14.25.05 - Newest Raphael Radio
Neither of these work because after using QuickGPS to download the data I have used HTC GPS Tool, GPS Test, and VisualGPS to 'kick start' my GPS and none of them work. I would like to note that I was on COM4 and tried two different baud rates being:

When I try to get a lock (I've waited for 5 minutes or so standing outside) using either of these radios after about 10 seconds I get the horrible 'Fix not available' status message even though HTC GPS Tool shows a visual of the satellites, although they're red dots and not green.
I would really like to get my GPS functioning again as it used to work when I was still using Elite ROM RC1 and I wasn't really sure what radio I was using since I didn't mess around with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! And Elite's RC4 current ROM auto configures the GPS settings for what I assume is optimal lock-on time.
Do you have Google Maps installed? My GPS didn't work at all until I uninstalled it.
No go...
I just tried it out and it still does the same thing. I would really like to use my phone as a GPS because I like to travel a lot and do some geocaching and even though a dedicated GPS would be nice, I have a perfectly good one built into my phone already and I would like to be able to take advantage of that.
aGPS?
Does the elite RC4 include the aGPS panel in Settings? AT&T finally got aGPS working, and if that ROM doesn't include the updated aGPS SuplRootCert & corresponding registry settings, it may not work correctly. I'll try and track down what you need to get it working, which I believe to be the following:
rilphone.dll from AT&T Test ROM
SuplRootCert for AT&T aGPS
AT&T aGPS registry settings
There may be a few more drivers involved, but I'm not exactly sure what they are. I'll look into it and see if I can pull them from the AT&T Test ROM and cab them up for you.
That sounds good! I've been ripping my hair out and scouring the forums for similar problems and such, but I've had no success. If you could cab them together that would be just great!
There are cabs for the rilphone.dll , I'm not sure about the other two. Here is the link to the rilphone.dll cabs. Post one has the raphael 1.12, post two has raphael 1.14. Make sure you use the right one.
Yeah I actually tried using the rilphone.dll for the 1.14 already and I still get these results.
I'm having the same problem, GPS isn't able to get a fix either.
Tried several ROM's: Proven 4.1 & 4.2 as well as Energy 3.0 however getting same problem.
Deathstar aGPS Fix
I flashed the elite RC4 ROM, so I could verify that GPS wasn't working for me, and that the cab would fix it.
It turns out, the ROM includes the aGPS confirmation package from the AT&T Test ROM, as well as the same QuickGPS version & rilphone.dll (1.12.25.19 radio). The only things missing were the correct AT&T registry settings, and the SuplRootCert. I obtained the reg settings from a cab At0mAng posted in the aGPS thread, and the SuplRootCert came from an EnergyROM thread. I combined them into this cab, and was able to get a GPS lock.
Give it a try, and let me know if it works for you.
P.S. Just wanted to note that I was able to get a GPS fix with the ROM prior to installing the cab file (w/aGPS disabled). So your problem might lie elsewhere, if the cab doesn't work.
Problem is GPS is turning on & off like a blinking light. Tried several applications: Visual GPS and Navigon. Can't try your solution since I have a Vodafone NL subscription
Okay I tried your cab and still no go, I'm going to try flashing my radio again to 1.12.25.19 with the rilphone.dll for it and see what happens. Thanks for the help so far, I really hope to get somewhere with this soon. And it sounds like that Wolfje and I are having the same problem.
Edit: Alright, tried 1.12.25.19 and the rilphone.dll for it and it didn't work, and then I tried installing the cab you put together for me again and tried it once more but it still doesn't work.
It's not the radio version 1.11.25.01 what's causing the problem.
I just switched back to an older Proven ROM 2.4 with WM61 and problems are gone however radio version is the same.
Hmm That's interesting. I have really grown attached to Elite ROM and I didn't want to try another, but I may give it a shot to see if it fixes it. I've actually been using Point UI's Home 2 as my interface. So I won't miss out on too much I suppose.
Please let me know if you've got a WM 6.5 ROM with working GPS since the Proven ROM is a WM 6.1 one
Problem seems to be Navigon Mobile Navigator, got GPS working with both Igo8 as well as Sygic now.
try proven rom wm6.5 4.3

Try any RRE 6.5 rom....aruppenthal's roms have the aGPS working correctly... and i personally recommend the 25.19 radio...you dont have to worry about getting the rilphone, its already cooked into the rom

There's a handful of crucial components for proper AGPS support:
radio rom > 1.12.xxxx
gpsdriver.dll + gpsid_htc.dll from 5.08 at&t rom
suplrootcert from 5.08 at&t rom
agpsnvsetting = 1 in registry
then you need the registry settings for proper agps server, port, APN, gprs connection name

. . . my previous cab was missing a few *crucial* components necessary for aGPS to work properly for AT&T (bolded above). Attached is an updated cab. However, as I previously posted, I could in fact get a GPS fix using the RC4 ROM, so the problem might be elsewhere. It couldn't hurt to try, I guess. Its also possible the cab won't install on the ROM (because it includes DLLs, though they are signed), but it'll tell you that when you try. Let me know if it helps at all.
