Hi guys,
Recently I bought Imate 8502. Everything works fine. I have installed tomtom 6.01 for wm6 (which works fine on my other htc p3600i)
Now problem in in Imate 8502 when i go in to the settings>External GPS>Hardware... it shows me "gps Hardware port "(none)". If I select any port and press ok and open it again, again it shows "(none)" in gps hardware port. So whts wrong with that.
Also tomtom is not working in Imate 8502. in tomtom software setting doesn't show gps port.(like in htc p3600i gps settings shows that gps in com9). I tried too much to solve this problem but got failure and failure. So I am asking help from any expert here.
Please help me.. I want to run GPS software in Imate 8502
Thanks in advance
1. u need to turn on gps manually
2. u need GPSgate
Thanks
Thanks netnerd,
well i turned it on manually as well but same things happens ?
by the way how does gpsgate will help in this problem? I have no idea of this software.. Though i have downloaded demo but I am not getting this software
thanks bro !!
waiting for your reply
tomtom cant see your build-in gps port
GPSgate will make a virtual gps comm port that gps programs able to see
Need Some knowledge
Dear Chintak i also have an 8502 but still serching for upgrade as u said u upgraded it with tomtom it realy works and how is the procedure to upgrade
will appriciate help .
hi ayesha,
I didn't upgraded anything in imate, I just installed tomtom for ppc.
but tomtom can't read gps port so m looking for another option
OK - hope this helps some....
I have the I-mate 8502, and TomTom 6 running fine.
Things I did:
- Installed TomTom...
- Went to Wireless Manager and enabled GPS. These are my GPS settings by tab (can get to them via Wireless Manager):
>Programs: GPS program port - COM9 (default setting
>Hardware: No GPS port specifed (not needed) and baud rate 4800 (again not needed) - these are default settings
>Access: Manage GPS automatically is checked (again default)
The only setup in TomTom was to set the GPS device to the IMEA option.
TomTom should see the device, but display a message that no gps satellites found or it searching. It usually takes a couple of minutes for the GPS to pass through satellite information to TomTom first time but it then works great.
Running the Telstra WM6 Rom
I followed Rathalian's instructions and it worked perfectly for me too.
I did have to select COM9 as the COM Port of the GPS device in Tom Tom Configuration.
I am also using a Telstra WM6 ROM.
Thanks everybody its working now thank you very much everyone
i-mate 8502: Anybody sells display or phone? /alguién vende pantalla o teléfono?
Good afternoon, folks
I was relatively happy with my i-mate ultimate 8502 till I dropped it and the display broke.
As I'm against buying new stuff if you can at a reasonable price fix something, I'm asking:
is anybody willing to sell almost altrusistically a display or even the whole phone? We could do it through the normal channels (paypal, google, ebay,whatever). Or in person, I'me based in Spain.
Warm regards,
Manuel

Good news: Navman 4410 (SP1) installed from the box up and running on Qtek S100!
Bad news: Upgrading to SP2 from Navman site makes the program end after loading maps.
Any ideas?
GPS Navman 4410 SP2
Tryed all kinds of setting, resetting, different SD-cards, reloading and so on. Suddenly it works now. Sorry I cannot tell exactly what was triggering it to start again. Just understand that it can be done.
GPS Navman 4410 on Qtek S100
Well, like the norwegian said checking the drive direction lights on his brothers car: Working, not working, working, not working...
It was not possible to start Navman again although no changes had been done since it was up and running yesterday. Something makes the program quit after reading the maps. Bluetooth connection looks ok with single blinks as long as the program is up. No problem with any other program exept that when you untick screen taps sound it has no effect.
To continue this one man show: You can start Navman 4410 on Qtek S100 with a magic trick, press left button several times just after launching the program and before the picture comes up, five times may work but to be sure make it ten or fifteen times! Also, you can use Redknows Bluetooth GPS for PC/PDA instead of the Navman original GPS (no password set)
Asked Navman for help but their answer was that they had not tested with Qtek S100.
Had to send my early XDA11 back to O2 for repair and it came back empty and they upgraded the ROM(?) Re-installed Tom tom loads so slowly its unusable. Memory map navigator loads ok but takes 5 seconds to react to a screentap. Also, it can bond with Holux bluetooth GPS but cant see it in Tom tom wizard. It all worked fine before they got their hands on it.
This sounds to me like you have the wrong com port chosen for your gps. Remove bonds for any bluetooth, reset, then rebond the gps, it should ask if you wish to use the serial profile for the device, answer yes to this. I think gps should then be on com5.
Thanks for your help
Thanks for that. When I get to select serial profile I only get Com 7 offered. Com7 is not offered in Tom tom GPS setup. Previously I had "Holux on Com4" as a choice. I have no Bluetooth manager program as on the Ipaq but I have loaded BTHTools1100 from April04. Can I check Com port status somehow? Maybe old stuff is assigned to the serial port I need?
We have lift-off!
Unticked Com 4 as incoming Bluetooth port in Bluetooth settings. Now have "Hollux 230 on Com 7" as an option in tom tom GPS setup.
KeithR: IF your on ROM version 1.72 now, you better skip the BTH Tools.
Un-install them or do a hard-reset (yes, once more).
Just bond the GPS, select YES to create a com port.
The GPS will then communicate thru COM5
Assign COM5 in TomTom (and one of the NMEA protocols).
It will work then as expected.
BUT: Since you have a Holux GPS you miight encounbter the same slowness when starting TomTom and the GPS is not 'connected'(ie off or out-of-reach). This is an issue specifically for the combination Himalaya (or MS BT Stackin the ROM) and (some?) Holux and D-Connex BT GPS's.
It seems that this last issue is solved in WM2003 SE, but that seems less stable to me . . .
Thanks all
Now its running ok I'm going to leave it alone. (I doubt.) I'm tempted to get an XDAIIs to use with broadband and VPN at home but the MDAIII seems much cheaper. Thanks again, I'll check this site for info on it.
Hi all,
I upgrade to WM5 a64 rom and after running Destinator the sstem reset :-(
Also I can't bound my GPS, the system find it but with a yello question mark, even when I make a outgoing com port in the last tab I can't bound it to the program.
I have preinstall (come with the rom) GPS setting that try to manage the GPS software/hardware but I can't select the eny port I want only few is evailable.
I tryed also IGO but the same :-(
Please help me
I am running Dr. Martin Gonzos Windows Mobile 6.1 v1.1 on my Vox and have got myself Tom Tom Navigator 6.030 with GPS driver v1.20 installed.
The problem is that I am trying to connect my new Holox BT-541 GPS receiver to my Vox but I'm having difficulties.
I can connect the device with bluetooth OK, but after reading some posts I also have to specify a COM port. Here lies the problem. When I try to add one the options are greyed out.
Is there something else I have to enable/do first? Or have I bought a dodgy GPS?
Please let me know if you need any more info as a resolution to this dilemma would be grately appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I installed TomTom from my old Artemis to my new TP. The installation went OK but when I run the application it didn't find the GPS device???
I am sure that the TP has built in GPS so I went into the 'Preferences' to make sure the correct GPS device was configured only to find that there is no option to select an internal GPS device???
Is there some major difference between the GPS device in the TP when compared to an Artemis??? Has anyone else had this problem???
I use my TomTom everyday so this is a major problem for me. if I can't get it to run on the TP i'll be going back to my Artemis and sending the TP back!
Any help would be appreciated.
Hiya,
I've just got Tomtom 6.010 working on my Touch Pro.
I had to configure it as 'Other NMEA receiver' - GPS baud rate 9600 - COM4.
That did the trick for me.
I did have to use the GPS tweaks here to make it work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427888
Before these tweaks I left it outside for 45mins and although it could see satellites it never obtained a GPS fix, with the tweaks it takes 20-30 seconds.
Hope that helps.
D.
Why 6?!? Navigator 7 automatically detects the internal GPS, It looks better, It has more functions, You can use newer maps & There's a VGA version.
Thanks very much dav3ywrx...
I did as you suggested and followed the thread and it now works fine.
I will upgrade to version 7 once my 8GB card arrives because the v7 maps are huge!!!
Anyway thanks again for the help
