Hi @ all,
first of all a happy new year
I wonder if anyone has the Omnia B7330 running with TomTom 7 on it. I have the problem that TomTom doesn't find the internal GPS. I tried all possible settings with
"internal GPS"
" other NMEA GPS"
and all possible Baud rates and com Ports
but TomTom does not find the internal GPS.
In the meantime I wonder if perhaps the internal GPS might be damaged and I should send the device back??
On my HTC Snap (Maple) TomTom recognizes the internal GPS immediately.
I als tried to manage something concerning "Port Splitter", but most of these programs are not for WM without touchscreen....
Any ideas how to get this working?
Best Regards
Jolig
Hi, if you want to know if your device is working or not, try GPS Test 1.04. There is a cab file for it, "google is your friend" as they say. 8) If you run the program (it is good for non-touchscreens as well) and it can find a signal, then you have to fine tune your navigation software, if no signal, then you have a faulty device.
Happy New Year!
Welcome to forums
Hope this helps:

Good luck,
Same Thing here...
...the Testapp recognizes the GPS on COM3 with 9600Baud and can work with it. The GPS Module seems to be working well, found my position after 10secs. TomTom however can't work with the GPS-Module... I'm on TomTom 7.910.
Any idea?

Try this
-----Omnia Configuration-----
Settings\Hardware\External GPS
*GPS program port: COM2
*GPS hardware port: COM9
- Baud Rate: 9600
*Manage GPS automatically: YES
------Tomtom Configuration-----
*GPS NMEA
*Baud rate 4800
*COM2
IMPORTANT
When you make all the steps you have to see in the Satellites top/right windows of the tomtom a little Yellow/Black ball rolling, that means the GPS is working. You only have to wait to your Omnia GPS find the signal.
-> You can download an XTRA GPS DATA to improve the finding speed of the GPS, personally I can not see the diference between NO XTRA DATA and XTRA DATA.
Settings\Hardware\Enchanced GPS
*Enable XTRA DATA CONNECTION
*Disable automatically download.
*Press download button
With that configuration in my omnia I don't have any problem with Tomtom.
The Testapp also recognizes the GPS on COM3 on my B7330.
But it dosen't work on TomTom 7.910.
Is there a way to change the GPS to use COM2 ?

Hello!
Do this:
use another phone with touch screen, set the tom tom gps as an external port and the appropriate speed,
save your settings. fire up tomtom on omni pro b-7330.
Can you type the addresses correctly? I had a problem with another phone with qwerty by tomtom7.
Erroneous indication of gps in omni pro B-7330 / no fix
Erroneous indication of gps in omni pro B-7330 / no fix
I need help, my gps in the B-7330 incorrectly indicates the distance of some 400km,
Is it a bug?
after uploading the google maps, fix grabs for a few seconds, and incorrectly states the place automapa (another program to navigation) also indicates the wrong place but other than google maps, the difference of some 1000km.,
I used GPSTEST 1.04:
COM3: 9600kb.
Is it firmware bug, or damage is hard?
using the settings from the post in advance Com9: omnia has gps pro, but did not catch the fix - no signal satleitów.
So, are you sure the port Com9?
So I need help
You should try posting on the proper section for this non HTC device:

TomTom is pants on the 7330.
I'm using Route 66 (v7) with UK and Europe maps. GPS can be interigated through the menu and cold fix is quicker than most I've used.
No GPS lag, and other than the soft button icons sitting above the call and call end buttons (can cause confusion), I would recommend going down this route instread (no pun intended)
Also strangely, the 'browse map' facility is managed through the 'zoom to' function.

Previously i had TomTom3.0 with BTHTools and a Holux BT GR230 GPS
and it worked fine.
I recently upgraded to ROM 1.72.00 WWE so i no longer needed BTHTools and it still works fine.
EXCEPT : When the GPS receiver is not found (BT turned off or GPS off or out of range), TomTom freezes or slows down terribly. This didn't happened with my previous rom/BTHTools)
upgraded to TT Navigator 3.03 and TT GPS 3.03 but that didn't help.
I found others reporting the same problem in other threads,( see Kim71 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3341&start=350 ) but this specific problem was lost in the mainstream of those threads.
anything usefull will be greatly appreciated
The only way I found to get over this was to deselect the gps in tomtom before closing down each time, it would then need selecting if you wish to use bluetooth gps. If this wasnt done and bluetooth gps was switched off when starting tomtom the pda would slow to a crawl, I know it isnt a perfect fix but seemed to work ok for me.
the problem is you have selected the wrong com port in the gps setting (i have 3 to choose from on mine!) first uncheck the box on the left. then drop the menu and select 'bluetooth gps'. Then turn on the receiver and the check the box again
that should sort it.

The Pilgrim
Right now i have NMEA 0183V2 Bluetooth / COM5:
Tried to uncheck : OK
Tried choosing Bluetooth GPS : OK
Tried to check : NOK it simply will not check :?
is the reciever switched on?
As I have posted earlier in other threads and other sites, I have the exact same issue.
However there seem to be people that have got it to work without any extras installed.
Only port to get TomTom to work with my DConnex DC-230 (=rebadged Holux GR-230) is COM5.
I cant tick the blue box with 'Bluetooth GPS' in the lower combo=box.
To get by for now by I digged into the registry.
I created 2 CAB's that do the following:
Set the registry value of TomTom GPS to enabled or disabled.
By starting one of these CAB's I can easily enable of disable the GPS. Would be nice to have a Today Plugin that toggles the TomTom GPS Enabled value (any volunteers???)
BUT I see this solution only as a work-around.
The solution MUST be in selecting 'Bluetooth GPS' instead of 'COM5'.
The task is to find out on how to achieve that.
Any help appreciated.
Hi
i still have rom 1.66.00wwe. and BTTools installed
i run the latest tt gps v3.3 (?) and a fortuna bt clipon.
I can check the box with 'bluetooth gps' without any problems.
You might want to visit www.pocketgps.co.uk
The forums are excellant
i hope this is of use

The Pilgrim
Pilgrim,
I allready noticed the excellent forums on pocketgps.co.uk, but until now I only got the advise to select Bluetooth GPS instead of COM5. And that is just what is not possible with my 1.72 rom . . .
:idea: Like I said: any suggestions are more than welcom, as is an offer to creat a small program (Today plugin!) that toggles the Enabled registry value of TomTom GPS.
If anyone wants to write that pgm, he might consider simultaneously turning bluetooth on / off.
State 1 : Bluetooth on / TT GPS enabled
State 2 : Bluetooth off / TT GPS Disabled
even better: Make that configurable (via registry setting or whatever lean & mean) for both states
I have been investigating this annoying issue with "ronald2oo2".
He does not have any issues like we do with his 1.72.00WWE ROM.
We did notice some interesting differences between his and my device-behaviour. Also the registry settings between him and me are quite different.
The biggest difference between the two devices is the origin of the OS rom. He uses the iMate based rom, I use the Qtek based rom.
Could anyone with 1.72.00WWE OS ROM, BT GPS and TT3 please post:
1. If (s)he has the possibility of checking the blue--ish box in TomTom GPS when the post is set to 'Bluetooth GPS': YES / NO and with what protocol (NMEA, SiRF, GPS specific)
2. What the origin of the 1.72.00WWE (OS!) rom is: QTEK, IMATE, T_MOBILE beta, . ....
I experienced the same problem for several months now and hoped that it would dissapear when I upgraded to TT3.07 and TT GPS 3.07 but it still didn't work.
Then I came across this post and started playing myself with these settings and found a solution. I can now use TomTom Navigator 3.07 with a bluetooth connection with my Rikaline 6030 GPS receiver
I have a Qtek 2020 with 1.72.00WWE OS ROM and Rikaline 6030 BT GPS and TT3.07
I was able to check the blue-ish checkbox with Bluetooth GPS setting after choosing 'NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth' in the drop down list above 'Bluetooth GPS' and after unchecking 'Outbound COM port: COM5' in my Bleutooth Settings (Start -> Settings -> System).
I hope I am helping a lot of people who have the same problem as I did for months and didn't find a solution for it.
Cheers,
Gino
The sentence: 'I can now use TomTom Navigator 3.07 with a bluetooth connection with my Rikaline 6030 GPS receiver' should read 'I can now use TomTom Navigator 3.07 with a bluetooth connection without my Rikaline 6030 GPS receiver'
Or without bluetooth turned on at all. Sorry for the confusion. Must be getting tired
Gino
Did you have to delete the existing bonds?
Because i tried your solution and it still won't let me choose "Bluetooth GPS". Am i doing something wrong? or is it some else different between our xdaII?
I don't know exactly where the bluetooth drivers come from. Can you check if you have OEM_WWE_04071402.sa.CAB in your ExtROM?
or another OEM_WWE_04???????.sa.CAB.
No I didn't have to remove the existing bond(s). I just first unchecked the Outbound COM5 setting in Bluetooth settings, then I removed the checkmark in the GPS Settings so I could select the NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth option and then I selected Bluetooth GPS. Checked the check box again and closed all open windows and everything was working fine with or without bluetooth/GPS receiver .
Regarding your other question, where can I find this info about the OEM_WWE_04??????.sa.CAB file. I remember looking in the extROM but I forgot where to find it. I'll do a quick search to see if I can find it again.
Cheers,
Gino
you have to install extendedromunlocker
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422&highlight=extendedromunlocker
and then unhide it, and then you would be able to see what's in there.
I also have OEM_WWE_04071402.sa.CAB in my ExtROM. I remember that my Bluetooth connection was not turned on when I tried to change the settings.
Gino
I have Radio version 1.14.00. Is this different from your version? I see that in your profile you pur 1.12.00 but I have noticed that 1.14.00 is not available.
I allready heard from 'ronald2oo2' that he is able to choose the Bluetooth GPS 'port' in TomTom GPS. I went thru all the options with him but still I cant select the 'Bluetooth GPS'. Also TomTom could not provide me with an answer, they eventualy offered to test my MDAII, but thats not an option since I rely on my MDAII.
BUT: I ams till using TomTom GPS 3.03. I will try the update tomorrow since maybe this version has some changes specific for Himalaya . . .
Orbit2-- GPS cannot be detected with IGO PLS HELP?!?!?
I have a HUGE problem with getting my GPS running on my Orbit2. It came from O2 with CoPilot7 preinstalled with the maps of UK and Ireland, which I dont use, because I am not located inthere, nevertheless Copilot detects GPS signal and shows positioning, but i dint have the maps for the area that i am in.
I tried to install IGO6 and then IGO8 but I have the same problem-- it cannot detect GPS device, no matter what which COMM Port and BAUD Rate I select.
How come CoPilot detects, and IGO does not? I read that Orbit2 is not locked?!?
Should I boot the whole device using some other ROM.
Why are you doing multiple posts?

Hi, I need some help with my phone I have an AT&T Tilt and here is my current setting ROM Version: 1.62.502, ROM date 01/17/08, Radio Version 1.27.14.19, and Protocol Version 22.45.88.07H. My GPS have stop working not sure why every time when i click on the external GPS and when I try to put the COM port for the hard ware it does not work. Can someone help me out please I would really like to get my GPS working again. I been asking around for help but nothing has been working yet.
Why did you even touch EXTERNAL GPS?
anyway
first, select COM4
second tab put (NONE) as hardware port and baudrate at 4800
and the last tab put it on automatic
(Start -> Settings -> Connections -> External GPS)
Wasn't it once you have it thw rong setting you need to soft-reset or hard-reset the deviecE?
Hi the AT&T Tilt has a build in GPS it was working just fine but if I put the program as COM4 and the Hardware as NONE and the baud rate 4800 then how does the TOM TOM know what setting to pick. I been having a hard time to find out how to make my tom tom to work
Try using GPStest and uping the baud rate. Changing settings for EXTERNAL GPS will make no difference when you have an internal GPS. And the cab to GPStest is in my signature. And if you are running TomTom most of the time you will need to run GPStest first and let it get a fix and then run TomTom.
in TomTom you select "Other GPS" or "Integrated/build-in GPS"
then select COM4 when asked.
Ok HI I am a bit lost so what do I do KDKobes what is that porgram about GPStest. I just selest the build in GPS receiver and tom tom can't find any signal for like 5 min.
Hi, KDKobes after I ran the GPS test program it say that the GPS setting is COM4 and the Baud Rate is 9600 so why would they have an External GPS with an hard ware port that does not work any more.

They have the External GPS option for people who want to use an external one, tend to get better signal. Also used for if you want to hook into your computer. Just remember some radio's work best at different baud rates. After changing the baud rate its best to restart the phone. Not sure what radio you are using, but most of the time 38400 or 19200 baud rates are best.

are you serious? please don't reply to this fool. There are plenty of threads on TomTom, search for them all your answers will be there.
Have just got my TP on Vodafone UK, it does not have GPS enabled, is there any way I can enable it
What do you mean? There is no GPS in Start -> Settings?
Anyway try this "must have" tool from schaps so you can manage a lot of settings, GPS included.
NO GPS

IF I load TomTom 6, it can not fin the internal GPS, I can connect to an external GPS via Bluetooth
Sounds to me like you've got the version of tomtom that doesn't have the option of choosing the internal GPS.
Download GPSTest to see whether the GPS is automatically detected.
can i suggest u try gps test n see what that does
also try it with google maps
i think this might be a handset fault tho cant see why it would be disabled as its a selling point
Im 99% sure that TT6 doesnt support internal GPS modules, had the same problem with my N95....or come to think of it was that TT5? Hmmmm im not so sure now lol...
TT6 worked fine on my MDAC3 with internal GPS.
Funnily enough, the Voda specs page makes no mention of GPS at all

have you tried Other NMEA GPS-reciever, baudrate 4800, COM4 already?
NO GPS
Your right vodafone does not show GPS
Have tried it with Google Maps and will try it with GPStest this evening.
Spoke to Vodafone are going to send another handset
have also tried Other NMEA GPS-reciever, baudrate 4800, COM4
I have a Vodafone handset and thought the same as you.
It does have a GPS and it does work with TOMTOM 6.
1. Go to programs and slect quickgps and download.
Then go into tomtom and under showgps satus select configure and choose other NMEA GPS, slect baud rate 57600 and then load a destination.
Make sure you are outside tho and it might take 25 mins to get your first ever fix.
Mine connects within seconds now.
Good luck and let me know if I can help you further.
Could someone post the link to the Tom Tom 6 or 7 cab file for the Touch Pro?
Thanks

The traffic subscription is registered to your account, therefore it will work on version 6 or version 7. However, your maps (6.75?) will not work with tomtom 7, but you can purchase new maps from tomtom home as the touch pro is now recognised by the tomtom home application (version 2.4 or above)
