GPS Problems out of the box? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Whats up guys
Just got my hands on a new touch pro, after having the titan and its a great upgrade!
However, neither sprint telenav or google maps want to get a gps fix out of the box. I can't find a settings option for GPS, only external GPS devices.
Whats going on? Is this a problem with the touch pro? Am I going to be forced to flash ROMs just to make navi work? Or should I go to the store and grab a new one?
Thanks guys
Joe
BTW: ROM v. 1.03.651.4

you tried updating the "quickgps" in PROGRAM? Mine too (xperia) wasnt getting any fix, till i update the QuickGps prog.
If this is missing, which i doubt, am sure you can get a cab in this forum. Install and update. Hopefully should work.
if still prob, get it changed

Htc -s730 Gps

dear friends
just to update you gps works with google maps on htc-s730 sample and also in the software of the unit it self you can find htc gps software that will show you gps is working and finiding sat signal.
love the unit
but must say bit slow and i hope it s just the sample rom and in the futere it will be better
so does the HTC S730 have GPS built in ?
or do you have to use an external bluetooth gps reciever ?
htc-s730 samplese are shipped
gps is built in !!!
can you confirm this with a source? i cant find anything about built-in-gps on the S730..
htc-s730 samplese are shipped
i cant send a link
but can assure you its in i have it in my hands
Any idea when Orange Uk will get this? I can't wait!
HTC S730 with GPS!!
well pdadb.net and HTC.com use to show that its with GPS but not any more i have found this url ( http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news3075.html )showing orange version..
Mods i am sorry if i break the forum rules by adding the above link..
this will be my dream phone. if it does have gps built in.
the link above shows a completely different mobile.. check www.htc.com for the S730.. and i seriously doubt it has GPS
hi, i think the link above is showing future version of orange which will be as usual different from HTC brand.
Gps Is Working

just made 2 movies at home in israel and loaded for you all to view that built in is working on sample unit.
hope for all of us on shipped rom too.
thanks
im definately getting this phone now. as long as it has the gps hardware builtin. im sure someone here can enable it to work on the rom. or maybe in the future a rom is released where it is enabled.
the rrp price for this on expansys is £314
hey there motin. could you test it with tomtom navigation software. and post a video if possible
regards
sorry not convinced.. wouldnt gmaps show "gps active" with bluetooth mouse also? dont want to call you a liar or faker.. but still, not convincing..

ok i did not make all this to convince you so wait for your shipped version and maybe you will be lucky and get your gps open on the shipped rom
in any case i dont have tom tom to try on the phone.
but i am sure you can fwd it to me . some how
also please look on the screen can you see teh bluetooth icon appering on the today screen ?
The problem will probably be the same as I had with a Nokia 6110 Navigator.
U can install TomTom. It will work fine, but there will be no way to use the internal GPS. At least I could not accomplish this on the Nokia.
U can probably install TT 6.03 on the s730, but u will have to mess around with FakeCursor. For me, personally, This is not a good solution. Too much hassle to use the address lookup.
IF I get the S730, I will probably use TT5.21, with external GPS or maybe internal, with GPS gate. Using Touch/Elf for the moment.
htc-s730
gd day have managed to install the tom tom software today will test and see if the gps is working and will upload a movie for you all.
nice day
htc-s730 gps enabled

I was just looking at the Garmin Mobile™ XT software that works on top of the mobile phone gps, and it lists the HTC s730 as compatible with their mobile software. Looks like a good sign to me.....not sure it is ok to do this or not, so sorry if it is not, but here is the web site for the Garmin software.....
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11413
thanx for that motin. just need to clarify whether the final products have the GPS hardware in it. and whether it just needs enabling...
kind of similar with the htc trinity.

TOMTOM home now works with Touch Pro

Hi,
Just thought i'd share the news that tomtom home now works and syncs with the touch pro, so start buying your maps!!!!
Download the latest version from Tomtom
thanks for the tip!
but I can't seem to get any mapshare updates....
will play with my settings to see if that might do the trick
I also have problems to get MapShare updates. It tells me that my maps are up to date. I don't believe this. ;-)
i get the same also, and all the tweeks suggested in the kaiser forum dont work.
now it works!
i've updated my version of Tomton to 7.451, and now tomtom Home automaticly updates my map.

Sounds to me like you haven't enabled map sharing in TomTom on your phone. I had the same until I did that, and now it works fine.
i've upgraded to the latest version, and have enabled map share in both tomtom home and on the device. I still can not get map share to update.
I'm not sure then. The only difference between what I said and just enabling map corrections was that I reported one (I have been living in my current house for >4 years and TomTom still don't have it as a valid address. I have reported it several times through MapShare and it still doesn't appear as valid).
Ok, i will give that a try - my estate sill has roads that don't exist and although they have been reported many times, have still not been corrected. The 7.25 maps still don't seem that upto date for my area!
Have you / are you using tomtom traffic. I enabled the month trial, and it appears to update ok, but i never see any traffic information on the traffic map. The update symbol changes to green after an update, therefore indicating that it has downloaded data. On the liscence screen, it reports that traffic is enabled upto 22/10/08.
Thx it works fine. I had 65000 changes for my 6.8 Europacard.

How did you guys manage to get Home 2.4.. to sync with navigator 7? Is navigator installed on the phone or storage card?
Mine is installed on the storage card and Home 2.4 can't seem to find it.

mine is installed on the phones memory. only the map is on the storage card.
no problems here with TT Home 2.4
You need to make sure that tomtom app is installed within programs. Depending on what cab you have used, it may have installed the application under a strange (german i think) folder name.

Hi - what else is different about 7.451 vs 7.450? - searched but I can't find anything.

no id!
the only thing thats different is that the 7.451 allows you to use Mapshare with Tomtom Home.
I don't have a clu what else could be different (did not find any other changes so far)

I basicly tried every setting in Tomtom and in Tomtom Home, and suddenly it all worked.
perhaps a stupid question, but did you allready try to mess with the settings in TTH/extra/mapshare prefferences..... and what does it say in the bottom right corner: After this update ...Mb??
just press OK and let the update run
hope it helps!

VZW Visual Voicemail Version

Can anyone tell me what version of vvm is running on your stock TP2? I'm more curious to know if it still opens automatically, unlocking your phone in your pocket and ruining your afternoon, than I am really caring about the version number.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
version # 1.1.9.11
I do not have it set up (and have never used it before), so have no idea how it works. I manually opened it to see the version number...
Two phones both with same version mentioned.
Unless you are running the app in the background I dont see many ways to accidentally have it open in your pocket.
Haven't gotten a voicemail yet, but I will say that 1.1.7.7 on my Touch Pro would wake the phone up, and open the VVM software, exposing my start menu and everything else to random button presses. This worked regardless if the phone was locked or not.
Will report back when I have some VM's to test.
Visual Voicemail on the TP2? Is this the Verizon or Sprint version?
edit: whoops, sorry. NM.
1.1.9.11 is on the stock tp2 verizon
verizon has an updated version available through the browser.
its version 1.1.9.41, no idea whats different. ive attached it
The update version posted above appears to support bluetooth audio playback, but doesn't like our ****comm bluetooth stack. Can anyone come up with a workaround?

I haven't tried this (don't have VVM activated on my phone) - but I noticed in the BT settings that there was an option for the system audio to be routed through the headset. You might give this a shot. Although, then you'd have ALL system sounds routed through headset.
I did notice that a program called BTAudioOn that worked on my Touch Pro didn't work on the TP2 ... I'm assuming because the TP2 has the Widcomm stack instead of Microsoft ...

Yeah, the only way to make it work is to route all audio through the headset and manually open the audio channel. Not only is this a terrible solution but it will run your headset battery down very quickly
I've heard about vvm on the tp2 and will probably purchase one, once they are in stock again. In the mean time I installed this cab on my titan and was redirected to verizon's website to pay $2.99/month for the service. Is this what you guys are paying? Or is it just for those of us trying to steal it from another phone?
Thanks
Where did you find that CAB file? Was it somewhere on Verizon's Website? I have a TP2 with MM 6.5 ROM and installed it. It seems to be working except for the fact that I can't play the files through the ear peice. Anyone know which version the Imagino is using?
Where'd you gret tp2 with 6.5?
Darn! I justy got my tp2 end of sept it's got 6.1, How'd you get a 6.5 rom?

the elite team just released a hard SPL (unlocker) a couple days ago. With that you would be able to flash any number of custom ROMs already available.

got the cab direct from verizon
i believe its under the services button on the verizon mobile page. i dont remember
if anyone has the url for the default homepage from the stock rom could you send it to me. start.vzw.com goes to a much stripped down version and im running a custom rom.

Copilot is a nightmare......

i am running rom 161 with the std setup, i have tried to use copilot but when i use the trial or i use the product key i have bought , it just starts to run slow and then locks the phone up and never runs again , been onto copilot support what a waste of time still not able to use it tried hard reset, tried new sd card still no joy really getting Peeded off now any ideas anyone copilot have said they dont have a clue GREAT , but they wont refund me
try to upgrade to lastest rom or hard reset... i dont use it myself but ive seen ppl using it without any problems so it must be something wrong on your side
I am using the Energy ROM from feb. 10th and I do not have any problems with Copilot, all is running smooth and well.
I have used it with many of the cooked roms and also with the 1.48 stock rom, haven't had any problems yet.
+1 for everything running smooth, it even runs great with pinch to zoom from bsb tweaks.
try flashing a stock rom then flashing to the custom rom you are running.
i'm using the new l26 ROM and i spent yesterday completely upgrading my copilot version and the maps and it runs very very smooth on my telstra hd2 (currently in use in the USA)
mines smooth
i bought my CoPilot ver.8 and installed it on my HD2 with Dutttys latest rom. Mine is running perfect with no issues whatsoever. Using USA maps if that matters.
I was told by copilot support, that with a custom rom the
- pinch to zoom function
- the Navi Panel function
- the direct access to the phonebook
will not work.
Can you confirm that?
TIA

These results are with copilot live v8 installed on duttys rom:
1 - Pinch to zoom does not work however you can still use the + and - to zoom in and out
2 - what is the navi panel?
3 - (Direct access to phone book) When i try it, the contacts that i have an address associated with it does show and works. it does not show contacts that do not have addresses associated with them
Hi herculese1,
point 3 is the most important one. I don´t like to type adresses all the time.
So it´s good to hear, that it´s possible to navigate to a adress out of the phone book.
The navi panal should allow access to phone funktions out of CoPilot.
Thanks

Yea, It def works. Also, If you only have the city listed in the contact information you can choose to go to the center of the town or type in the address with the city info already populated.
Meanwhile I tried a CoPilot cab, but so far isn´t working.
Look here:

The phonebook was the deal. So it is ok that way.
Thanks again

I am a newbee in this matter.
What I found so far is:
flashing a new ROM deletes everything on a mobile phone.
I had flashed ! SSPL ! from stock 1.48 to Artemis 3.5
Than back to 1.48 and to Artemis 3.7
The problem could be, if you already have used CoPilot, there will be informations also stored on the SD card. Or you changed the name of your phone.
But I am not sure!
I also found this, but didn´t tried.

It wont be much good sending you a code as it would deactivate the running copy.
I have been having the same trouble with my copy as it worked well from the start after buying my HD2 from O2UK. I then tried to install further maps as I hope to travel to USA later in the year. On contacting Co Pilot I was informed I would have to uninstall the HD2 version loosing the pinch to zoom feature. Then reinstall from scratch to be able to get the maps to work But they are looking at adding the pinch feature to other regions in the future ( SO THEY SAY!!!! )
So I gave up and will take my faithful old XDA Orbit 2 with all my mapping already installed from last year.

Updating Google Maps

I have version 3.0.1.6 installed in my ROM. I would like to know if I was to update it to the latest version 4.1.0 do I install it in my Device Memory to override the old version. If this doesnt override the old version and I end up with 2 versions then would I be better off installing it on my Storage Device?
You should be able to upgrade your cooked version but I'm not 100% sure. See if you get upgrade warning.
Always install GPS apps to device.

If it's like iGo, it installs resources to SD but it still puts Program Files\IiGo\iGo.exe.
I'm not saying its impossible, just not a good idea.
For me voice search doesn't work as it just opens the dialer.
You would think they'd put a softkey on it instead of a hardware key....
Anybody got it to work yet?
Works for me!
Voive search works for me, Bruce. i press the talk button and just speak. Working just fine.

Perhaps Keyboard controller is interfering.
