hello all i am a new TP user.
i installed the IGO8 but it seems that it cant find my Built in GPS
do i need a software to enable the gps?
Did you scan in IGO for the GPS device? I'm just asking because it is not clear in your post. You have to manually turn on the GPS the first time you run IGO.

how do i turn on the gps?
Either via the Settings menu, or if you are on the basic screen with the map you can tap the battery indicator which will lead you to another screen (you can change some settings here) - but mainly there is an option to see the GPS status (as far si I remember it is in the lower right corner). You can turn on/scan for the GPS from here.

can you plz show me that with a picture?
I don't have iGO installed anymore but I was able to find some screenshots on the web.
You can get into the GPS menu this way:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I hope it works.
WOW great thanx!!
in the GPS SETTINGS in the first line it said that
GPS RECEIVER IS NOT CONNECTED and i try to check the GPS Enabaled it return to uncheck when i enter to this screen again...
I think there was an option for IGO to scan for the GPS receiver.
Unfortunately I can't remember where to set it. Sorry :-(
Although - on the last screen you can see the button with the GPS and a little magnifying glass - have you tried it? It seems like a pictogram for the GPS search.

yes i tried it, it scan ports to find GPS but it didnt.
it works on my touch pro
Check Start-Settings-System-External GPS GPS port should be 4, Hardware port - none, baud 4800, Access - manage GPS automatically.
If IGO still didnt recognize the GPS, enter the port and baud rate manually.
thanks all of u it works u make my day!!
I thought I stick it here for those that can't even start up the app as in another thread.
Had to add this to my sys.txt for it to work.

I eventualy loaded Tom Tom Navigator 5 on to my XDA11 running WM5
but the backlight does not work, i have searched the forum and came accross a file Tomtom.exe when i installed in my XDA then run the software it would not find the maps
scolley - there's no question in your post. As a statement, it's informative, but ultimately merely evokes suspense - did you solve your backlight problem, or merely resort to using xmen style glasses to create your own?

Please don't multiple post. I'm deleting the other 83% of your "efflu-posts".
I'm afraid I have no specific knowledge on the TomTom issue. My backlight works fine with it. How did you install it? Have you tried the latest update on TomTom's website? The map problem is not an issue with the original app. The crack has problems, but read the instructions that come with it and you should be able to get it to work.

Sorry about the other posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the question was has any one else had the problem? and have they fixed it and how?
Where can i get some Xmen Glasses?
See Doc Xavier re the Specs.
Presumably you've tried holding down the power key to toggle backlight?
Worst case, I think VJEschaton should be able to force backlight on. Otherwise, is this only happening in TomTom?

Tom Tom Back light
Yes this is only happening in tom tom
Installed the 5.21 upgrade from tomtom site tried to load the cab files but every time i did the ttn.cab it failed. so i have another pda with tom tom on and i copied the root folders over to my XDA and i got tomtom working but without the backlight. seems to be something with the navigator.exe file as i tried another and i got the light working but the software could not find the maps on the sd card
Tom Tom Back light
Found this

Tom Tom Back light
Got the backlight to work now
But Tom Tom will not locate the maps
Any Ideas
Posted in another thread. Locate the maps on your sd root, and if using the crack, copy the crack file subfolder to your my documents.

Tom Tom Back light
Finaly given up, no matter what i try i cant get it to work properly. get the backlight to work and it cant find the maps. if i get it to find the maps the backlight does not work unless i press contacts button while tomtomn is running and then go into settings backlight untick the backlight box and re tick it, then close down settings and the backlight is still working in tomtom unless i exit the program and then load tomtom, the backlight is gone again. I think I prefered win2003, at least my progs worked
do you know where I can get free navigation software?
Tom Tom Back light
Finaly got it sorted, downloaded a Hex editor did a search on the backlight and changed the values 61 to 62 ther are about 3 or 4 lines to change. yipee no more late nights I can go watch the Football
Software
I got mine from ebay
Tomtom Navigator or Mobile?
Hello
Does anyone know if Tomtom Navigator 5.21 works with wm2005 and himalaya or does it need to be Tomtom mobile
thanks

I am looking for something similar to what Hitchhicker is supposed to do, but without the Hitchhiker's problems on WM6. For me, it was completely unreliable, left tons of connection settings behind in the registry etc etc.
All i want is an ability to find a public/open WiFi network with internet access and connect to it in a single tap.
Any ideas ?
I use WeFi- Free and works like charm. Also can start programms after it connected.
I start Palringo (Free multi Messanger)
I read about WeFi here, the reason i never tried it was this:

Same thing as with the previous version.
It scrambled my wifi settings I had to make a hard reset (Asus P535, WM6).

Can you tell me what particular version seems to work on Polaris ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: i am currently backing up to try the latest version myself, will report here later today
First report about WeFi:
It seems to erase all your normal (WZC) WiFi settings without asking, including the WEP/WPA keys. And KEEP ERASING those every start.
It would not connect to my own home WiFi (secured, WPA2+PSK, AES) despite having correct the key entered in it's dialog.
After manually connecting using the normal utility, while WeFi still running in the background, it "tested" the hostspot, and found it to have internet connectivity. After that, it reported 1 user being connected on that hot spot (me) ! What this means is, it certainly tells some of the hotspot details (SSID) to it's server. The question is, would it also share the key with every other user on the planet ? If it would, this would be completely unacceptable !!!
One positive thing about it, somehow, it managed to reconfigure the WZC on Polaris to connect to any open hotspot available (good for me), even when the program isn't running (no, i didn't forget to shut it's today plugin down). This is probably some registry setting unknown to us. I'll try fishing it out and report.
EDIT: sorry, my mistake, it didn't really reconfigure WZC, it got some processes installed, running at the background, that i missed :-(
Just in case someone may want to know this, the part of WeFi that seems to do the "auto-connect to any open network" thing, but not the internet connectivity probing, is the WeFiSrv.exe, that seems to require Comm.DLL, Engine.dll, Hessian.dll, OpenNETCF.dll, Prot.DLL, Util.dll and Win.dll to run
as well.
EDIT: WeFiSrv.exe seems to be responsible for deleting the existing "normal" WiFi settings too. As well as responsible for eating a big chunk of RAM while running.
EDIT2: same app also responsible for screwing up the settings
Conclusion: unless you are going to connect to unprotected WiFi hotspots ONLY, this program, or any parts of it, isn't really an option.
Any other suggestions ?
Device: Atom Life from Mwg running stock wm6 rom
since a few days ago every time i turn the wifi on and go into to select networks i dont get that screen anymore. like my home wifi works cuz it has the password. but i cant connect to other networks :S
This might have something to do with me deleting the profiles for wifi networks i dont use anymore. Thats the last time i saw the profiles screen.
i did this due to my ppc connecting on its own to a wifi when antena was off ..more like a pc wifi signal and that annoyed me so i poked around and deleted the profile of that network and others from past.
since then i cannot see even the wifi icon in the top bar all i see is the <-> arrows but with out the antenna in the background i.e <-I->
nor can i find that page where i deleted the network profiles from :S
where is it ?? i think it comes on only when the <-I-> is present.
is this a symptom of something?
u see i do not get this:

when i click:
assuming this is wm6 of course
well here is something thats interesting.
installed wefi to see if it fixes things and that Wi-fi icon has disappeared... renamed to network cards :S ( i think) whats going on am i losing settings link heh.
Still cannot connect to tother wifi's , with wefi not even my own :S lol
( might as well ask what backup software i should look into that will back up the rom as well since i feel i should go 6.1, or point me into the right direction for a tutorial to extract my own rom )
Update: uninstalled wefi.
icons back to before state. good.
heres what i got in my connections tab. can some one tell me if i am missing something:
band switch
beam
bluetooth
cell broadcast( what is this feature..thx)
connections
csd line type
grps setting
sms setting
usb to pc ( why does this never work- have to use wm5torage
wi-fi
wifi utility
and mwg wireless manager ( btw when u click wifi in it- it does not change status of wifi only LED turns on )
try to change best performance or normal cpu profile
Hi all. Was wondering if anyone out there is having GPS issues on 4.0.3?
I did the update just before I left home to go to Indonesia and now I'm here the GPS won't get a lock particularly when using google maps. Says it has sattelites in range but even with 4 or 6 won't get a lock. However did manage to get a lock a couple of nights ago using SkEye astronomy program.
Any feedback appreciated.
I experienced the sameproblem with Nexus S locking on GPS days ago. Usually when I'm in Italy, I'm always connected to internet and GPS lock very fast, helped by the network.
But days Iago I went to London, with pre-cached map of the city and in 3 days the phone NEVER locked on the GPS system unless a wireless connection. All it said was "Trying to get current position..." and after a few seconds "Impossible to get the current position. Retry later".
While trying to get the position on googlemap in the status bar I noticed the empty GPS-circle never started to blink...
Exactly the same thing happened to my brother device (also a 4.0.3 Nexus S).
What worked for me.
So Im using the Galaxy s2.
Leaked ics.
Gps bug.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/gps-doctor/com.epekware.gpsdoctor
It said it worked and now maps finds me as does 'places'.
Facebook now gives me places nearby but still says not found.
I zoomed in on maps and its pretty much got me to within a few feet. So it has to be gps. Towers gets you w/in a few states. (jk)
I have the same issue. With ICS my phone can't get a GPS lock.
I'm back on GB though.
Ive been meaning to come and debunk my own thread.
False alert everyone. It doesnt work. When I was on wifi it took my info from there and 'injected' it. For whatever reason maps etc took that as well enough.
On 3g it would seem to only triangulate my position and get it right to within hundreds of yards.
However I hope that the thread helps developers develop a bug fix. I saw qbking post a new ics vid today so maybe the latest leak is gps corrected. Well see.
flash a stock GB rom, Pete's for instance. Lock on to GPS in Maps. I use GPS test from Market also and Clear and update GPS with app. Reboot, then Flash ICS rom and benefit
GPS Test worked for me
Thanks for that. I had the same issue after updating to ICS - Glympse couldn't find where I was, Maps wouldn't use GPS, etc.
I installed GPS Test by Chartcross Limited (I haven't posted enough to post links, so I've replaced the forward slashes with back slashes "https:\\play.google.com\store\apps\details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jaGFydGNyb3NzLmdwc3Rlc3QiXQ..").

All I had to do was to use the menu to get to Settings, and use the buttons at the top of the settings to Clear AGPS and Update AGPS (I don't know whether both of these were necessary), and everything started working. I didn't need to reboot.

I am not able to find a correct location with GMaps, it shows a approximate location as you can see in the screenshot, with a very large error radius, maybe a few km. I tested my GPS with GPS test and I'm able to lock up to 8 satellites. Why can't Maps find my location with GPS and uses instead the network antennas?
Is this normal behaviour?
P.S I was outside while testing and my GPS was on of course, I could see the GPS sign trying to find signal. If I turn off Google location service Maps doesn't finf my location, while GPS test says it's workink ok.

You might want to try GPS fix. It's an application that helps lock on to you're exact location. When I used it it actually pin pointed my exact address from there use the GPS after fix. It worked for me, hopefully it also will work for you. You can find GPS fix in the market. It takes awhile to lock in but it does work. At least it does for me. You should give it a try. Best of luck

Thanks man that works. Very strange though. Am I supposed to do this every time I use GPS, cause it takes at least 5 min? If I change location do I have to do it again?
