Hi all,
Has anyone noticed how iGO 2006 will hang if the GPS applet is set to allow Windows to manage it? This has worked flawlessly on all previous ROMs... any help greatly appreciated!
i have the same issue
Same thing happened to me...
It seems to get hung up on the startup screen
Hi !
Same issue here... application hangs if you configure gps. When configuered it does not even start anymore.
Posted it in dutty-thread. No replies :-(
I think it has something to do with the A-GPS reg tweak. I tried without tweak and it worked. Activated A-GPS -> stopped working. But I'm not really sure, cos after the 7th reboot I was bored of the startscreen so that i stopped my tests.
greets
really, when i turned off the a-gps igo works great now! i'm wondering if the fixing time now will take longer...
That did the trick! But really, what changed between V3 and V4 that caused this?
and: with every other rom i tried reg tweak and igo together worked.
same problem here
same things with me
a little off topic, but has anyone noticed that iGo 2006 is kinda choppy on the kaiser? I love the way it looks compared to tomtom but damn is it ever slow. also, if i exit a highway it takes like 10 seconds to realize i just exited the highway before it finally switches my position over from the highway road to the off ramp and if i set it to not stay on roads, the gps seems like its a lot to the left of where i actually am from the road vs the gps screen.. if those 3 things worked better, this gps would be perfect for me.
IGO8
Hi
I am running IGO8 on Duttys V4. It run nice and smooth no problems but still testing as only put it on this morning. Will give you a full update in a day or two.
I thought igo8 is not out yet?
Where is the difference in GPS handling in these two versions? Any ideas?
...works...
Hi all....
On my Kaiser, the iGO 2006 works fine with Dutty's ROM v4...
A-GPS: Disabled
GPS: NMEA (not SIRF!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Port: COM4
Baud: 57600
Best regards....

this sucks, assisted gps is great...
Hangs on incoming call
When I turn off AGPS iGo will work, however if I recieve and incoming call while iGo is running the PDA freezes and I have to do a soft reset. This was not the case on other ROM versions.

i have a same problem!!!
what about resolving? any answer?
Hi guys,
I think the subject says it all...
I have a Diamond which suffers from serious GPS lag (not fix!). This means that when I'm driving, my car is always up to 50m ahead of what TomTom or IGO tells me that I am...
I'm thinking about changing my device as nobody seems to know the cause of this...
So, I wonder if Rapheal has the same issue or not...
HastaSSSS
Here's what i tested for you on the way to work...
Using TomTom6 (6.032), driving at 30mph, using the tip if the blue arrow as my position (same as i always used on TytnII) i would say my car was no more than 5m behind were i should be. No issue going down the right road or turn.
Same situation as johnk1973. No 50 meters lag, but aprox. 5 meters.
Same problem here on Raphael, TT7 is 50 meters behind. Will test it tonight if it also occurs with TT6.
Same here with tt7 and igo8....
Now this is going to get complicated....
I had Diamond before and NEVER experienced GPS lag.
I tried almost every official and cooked ROM and had no problems with GPS.
Recently I switched to Raphael....
And guess what... GPS lag !
I used my Diamond and Raphael in identical conditions, with the same app (iGO 8).
I'll try to test it more.
I'll post if I find anything useful to you.
Cheers,
Sh*t...that means Raphael is a "no go" for me...
Unless we solve the problem...whatever it might be...
Please keep on posting your findings about this issue...I like very much Diamond and Diamond Pro....but I'm not willing to have a device without 100% functionality...
HastaSSSS
I have a Touch Pro with iGo8 installed. I realised this "50m lag" on my business trip this Monday but I thought it was due to the speed of the car (I was driving very fast for the most of the time). Now I see the problem might be a little more complicated.
On the other hand the 50m is not so bad - I never had a wrong turn, the acoustic signalization of iGo8 is very good. Nevertheless, I would be glad if this could be fixed...
And another thing - I'm not sure if you are aware of the charging problem while using GPS. My Touch Pro actually stopped charging because of overheating and was running only on the battery. So be aware of this fact too.
But this is a different issue, I'm sure there is a thread for this.
I dont have the problem with TT6.
I second this issue, both with TT7 and IGO8 (haven't tried it with another one yet)
Guys I had GPS lag on TT7 when I fist used it (Only tried it for 5min) it was awful. Mainly everytime I turned a corner whilst driving.
Then I did the following changes:
\start\settings\system\external GPS -> Set GPS Program port COM4; Hardware NONE; Access Manage GPS automatically.
Hit ok, wait 10 secs, switch off the device and then soft reset.
Now go to TT7 change the GPS prefences, to use bluetooth device and selected COM4.
No my GPS is perfect now, no problems at all. Have tried it with two different ROMs and no problems.
I have TT7 installed on the main memory and the maps on an Sandisk 8GB Class 4 SDHC card.
Radio ROM is 1.02.25.19 if that helps? and AGPS is turned on a up-to-date.
BTW it was exactly the same when using google maps.
Did you also try it by just setting tomtom gps to bluetooth? I'll give that a shot anyway before going into the register... tnx for the tip
Please keep in mind that you'll get an update of your past position only once per second. This means: The faster your velocity the more inexact the position will be, because the distance you'll pass in this second becomes longer and longer:
@30kmph: ~8m
@50kmph: ~14m
@80kmph: ~22m
@100kmph: ~27m
@130kmph: ~36m
Additionally there is the inaccuracy which comes with GPS: In good times you may have ~10m divergence on average. But with weaker signal (which one may have driving in a city) it will become even more. So keep in mind that GPS will tell you, where you've been one second ago (plus the divergence).
By the time I get my Diamond Pro, I'll collate this at the same time with my X500, which has a build in Sirf3 receiver.
I am having a slightly different issue with my TP using iGuidance 4. Although the unit aquires a signal faster than any other device I have used in the past, it seems to lag or freeze as I drive. It will not update the time, speed or position unless I press a button or something on the screen. There is another thread on XDA (I think in the Diamond or Kaiser sections) that claims to have solved this issue, but the fix doesn't work on my Touch Pro (in fact it completely freezes my iGuidance requiring a soft reset).
Hi,
I'm using Ndrive and TomTom 7.
on NDrive I don't have any problem, it's fast.
on TomTom is slow..
I thing the problem is on TomTom using this GPS of Raphael.

these settings are the settings that are preset. Hence nothing changed. the lag on the diamond is bad but this is awful.

Using Igo8 very intensively with my TP, no lag at all. Compared it this morning with my VW passat stock nav system, and again, i notice no lag.
I have the settings in the posts above, and have very little lag. I am using QuickGPS instead of AGPS, but all else is the same. My main probklem is how long it takes to get a lock (much longer than on my old Kaiser), but since installing DCS's ROM and doing a hard reset immediately after that does seem to have improved - I often get a lock from cold within a minute now..

I believe the reason that some people are getting horrible GPS lag while others get nothing has to do with the Radio ROM versions that came installed with the device. Most custom ROMS don't update the Radio ROM. It's 12am and I'm posting this from my TP, so I'll just tell you that the Radio thread is stickied in the Raphael ROM dev forum.

Hi,
I have a Cruise and I would like to use iGo8 but after each soft reset I need to run a GPS program such as HTCGPSTool, otherwise iGO8 freeze on startup ( connecting to the GPS module ). Does anyone have a solution?
rgds
Which version of iGO 8?
I have tested diferents versions 8.0.0.41506, 8.3.1.57021 and 8.3.2.64873, It's the same problem
I have seen some posts (2 or 3 from diferents forums) refering this problem but no solution.
After an Hard-Reset, the problem is still here.
My rom is the Orange France Rom 1.29.73.2 FRE, and the radio is 1.58.32.33.
Igo-8 reset
before you soft-reset ; just minimize igo-8 and you start without any problems.
Just try it .
thanks xdawis, but by soft-reset i mean turn-off then turn-on the phone. So your solution does not work .
Ps : AGPS is disabled.
Ok , as I know that I am not alone in this case I post my solution, because I found one!
I update my cruise to M-Amine 2.0 FINAL rom with RADIO 1.59.42.23 included and it work nicely now .
I hope it will work forever...
Disable A-GPS in registry ..
Hallo, recently I installed a MN 7.3.0 on my Wizard O2 branded working under WM5. At begining it friese the hole phone but then I make a shortcut direct to MobileNavigator.exe and everything works fine.
Problem is at startup it always show TMC message screen and I dont have idea where to kill that
I looked to other forums and experimented with Usersettings.xml without sucees.
If somebody have a hint would be nice
Thanks
Hi,
my vox turns off (completely off, not only display) automatically since yesterday.
Description:
I can switch on my phone, enter SimPIN an can normally use it. As long as i use the vox it stays on.
If i put on the keylock and let the vox untouched for a few minutes, it switches completely off.
The only change i did yesterday was playing around with Navigon Mobile Navigator, FakeCursor and Bluetooth.
I already deinstalled the applications i added yesterday, but same problem.
I also tried a second battery, same problem.
Has anybody an idea or is there like a log on vox, where i can see what causes the shutdown ?
OS: WM 6.5 from Fr. Hottelmann, worked fine for month until yesterday ...
Thanks in advance
Alex
Mh, sounds strange. It usually is a battery problem. Maybe try a hard reset or reflash (maybe also try a different ROM, although I doubt that it is my ROM since this didn't happen to anybody else...yet).
BTW: I have two batteries that don't work correctly, I just ordered a new one.
Hi Fhm, thanks for your reply. A hardreset worked. It seems that Navigon Mobile Navigator 7 combined with the usage of BT Gps causes this problem. Thanks, great forum Alex
