X500, wm6 & gps

i loved this thin toy till i UPgraded it (at least this is what i thought) to wm6 and i lost my gps. the ROM EUU_X500_WWE_R01_032_0436_MOT0110_WM6 i downloaded from the official site.
mi i-go detects the gps, works fantastic with an external gps but with internal gps there is no reception. none, dead. need a patch or even another ROM.
lots of ROM here, too many. i am confused....
i need help and i know that help is gong to came from here.

nobody?? heeeeelp!!!!

Have you tried different GPS program port settings. When I first got my phone i had to try a different settings to get it to work. I know it's in the external gps setting but it worked.

iGO-8 & Polaris

Hi,
I´m new in this forum and i want to ask if somebody has problems with gps detection on igo 8.
In my case, when I set up internal gps (com4), Polaris hang off and the only solution is to make a soft reset.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, just use the auto-detect to find the internal gps
But I don't think we can talk about igo 8, not released yet.

All of my iGos hung if the aGPS was enabled...

Confirmed here

Confirmed, iGO and MioMap hangs if Assisted GPS is enabled.
Everything works fine now in both.
Thanks.

Ahh yes. Thanks so much. I've been trying to get iGo working for a week. I had enabled Assisted GPS via Kaiser Tweak. Once I disabeled it, now iGo found the internal GPS.
Thanks again...

Hi guys,
If you want to keep aGPS activated.
You have to active the internal GPS with a third party software like GPS2Blue 1.8, 3d tracking 1.02.
I recommend to use GPS2blue or 3D tracking to active the GPS chipset because they are freeware and very low memory consuming.
After activation of GPS chipset wit the third party software then Igo08 should work for you as well.

thanks, im just about to install igo, havent tried it on polaris yet, used to use it on my apache...ill post my results hope it works

Igo 8 works fine with my TC
No pb

I-go 8 battery drain?
Hey guy's,
I installed I-go 8 and it works nice.
But does anyone else also have the problem with battery drains?
even connected with the car charger.
i turned on blue-tooth for my built-in carkit from Jvc kk-avx33 radio.
data connection. Wlan is off. Data connection is on.
the battery was full, after 2,5 driving with charger connected. the battery stay's at 1 line.
i tested it without navigation and just charging. then it is full.

Hm, sounds strange. It looks like the battery wasn't charged at all. You said that data connection was enabled. One thing I can imagine is that this issue caused a battery drain of more than 500mA which canceled the charging.
I noticed that when my data connection is running (in combination with bluetooth) the battery drain was about 400mA. Together with GPS maybe you reached a >500mA value or at least a value your car or your car charger couldn't afford so the external power supply was capped.
I hope you'll do some further investigation on this problem because I planned to do the same thing for my next holidays.

if anyone else is having the clock problem with igo (it sets ur clock incorrectly) it is a recognised issue and here is the fix from their site:
Time-Zone Error in Nav N Go iGO 8
Based on user feedback, we inform you that, in the current versions of Nav N Go iGO 8, the Windows time zone may be incorrectly set depending on the GPS position (for instance, Minsk is selected for Hungary). The correction of the error is in process.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
n case time-zone errors appear, you can temporarily correct them on your device by editing:
/Program Files/iGO8/sys.txt
and adding the following lines:
[timezone]
sync_os_timezone=0
reset_os_timezone=0
Attention: The modifications will only be activated when Nav N Go iGO 8 is restarted.

Come on guy....If you want Igo 8, just buy it...And don't ask for a free version...Warez is forbidden,don't you know ??!!

gizmobreda. are you that tactless asking for free software in a developers' forum?
anyways, iGO8 WAS released already. i'm using it on my Polaris and it works fine.. no problems with the GPS.. works on port 4... you should check to see if your receiver is timesynced. you can manually change the sync to fit it to your location.. (it has some GMT+- problems).. using registry editing. (i won't get into that one cause it's not as legal as you would think).

So what are the benefits of using iGO8 as opposed to TomTom6?
Just curious since this is the first time I've heard of it.

I use both of them, there is no so much advantages of iGO except of map. Maps of iGO are newer with higher details and with many changes fixed. They are also capable of DEM.

iGo problem

I installed Dutty ROM Duttys_Official_WM6.1_Rom_5.2.19716_UC si radio KAIS_Radinly_1.64.08.21, also iGo installed. I can't use my iGo program because when I try do detect the GPS chip from statellits connection page the PDA freeze when discover it (i can see this because the GPS led turns on). I can tell you that I update already the position using QuickGPS and after that GPSTool I can connect to sattelits. What shoud I do?
Thanks a lot

Disable the HTC Home clock and see the IGO program work like a charm.

You did not read.
You did not learn.
You started a new thread

This goes in the thread

I searched, and searched again, and again... no fix for me
I don't want to eat your time... but my iGo still not work. I don't have HTC Home active... I tried even to enable and after that disable this function, but... no result...
This is serious...I can't use my GPS with iGo program....Any suggestion or fix?

Go Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1956279&postcount=2328
And If you have more questions maybe put it in the relevant thread. HERE
Also I think you may have a burned up GPS chip. Try a different GPS program. GPSTest or something. But It would be better if you posted in the Thread that deals with Problems in the rom you are using.

two suggestions:
first: see if u have a-gps enabled. if so: disable and try again
second: try another rom... find one that's best for you.

i dont see how htc home plugin can affect this because i tested all possible combinations w&w/o it enabled and nothing changed. I had the same issue, igo freezing with dutty's wm 6.1 ROM when configuring and turning off assisted gps helped, as stated above.

My GPS worked fine with iGo until I changed the ROM (I had Dutty's ROM nr. 4). And that link that you give me, Jimmy, is related to HTC Home. I don't use it, like I said before.

Help please...
Still no answer... any ideea? Thanks

I'm not sure it's a ROM problem. iGo 6 itelf seems to have a problem dealing with AGPS. Mine also freezes after a while if AGPS is turned on.
I just leave it off and everything seems to work fine.
/drt

one thing i did was turning off the igo today plugin..and reboot..that should partially remove the conflict..

There are actually three different kinds of iGo problems I've seen with the various ROMs I've tried:
- Installation won't complete. Often, iGo will run anyway if you just do a soft reset when the installation halts. Often it won't.
- iGo runs, but once configured to find the GPS COM port, it hangs and hangs every time it starts after that. It may be related to AGPS, but I've seen this in ROMs that do not have that enabled by default. Also, I have no data plan and, as a result, no data connection with the tower.
- iGo installs, but won't start at all. Trying to start it results in a little screen opening animation, but nothing appears. The device is sluggish for a moment, then it's as if you never attempted to start it at all. This is the problem I have with Dutty's latest ROM. This almost certainly not related to AGPS since iGo has no GPS configuration immediately after installation. I don't believe it is related to the HTC Home plugin, since iGo runs fine for me on the AT&T test ROM, and it has the plugin.

This is definitely a conflict with the music tab of HTC Home, but only on some 6.1 ROMs (curiously not build 716 though). This problem doesn't occur in any 6.0 ROMs that I know of. It's not the plugin per se, but some component of the Today screen configuration that's causing the problem.

Is it sufficient to uncheck the plugin in the Today configuration and soft reset or is something more drastic required to resolve the conflict? The instructions linked to in an earlier posting seemed more like a series of black magic steps that happened to work.

Shortcut to WiFi settings

Hi,
sorry for a "repost" but I was told I can't ask this in general Wizard forum since I flashed it with WM6.1. So...
is there a way to make a shortcut to the Configure Wireless Networks app?
I hate going thrugh start/Settings/Connections or any other way there is (commmanager settings...) and my wizard often doesn't connect to my wlan with ssid hidden even though the reception is OK.
I'm on TNT WM 6.1.19199 (I'm running it only for 3 days, but for now is seems a great ROM - respect to its right! ).
Thanks, Mike

I have the same issue. The only ROM that my wi-fi works correctly is MFrazz XDA XMRC5. This is an big problem for me and i´m suprise than anybody seems to import.

Did anyone have an answer to the original question? Thanks!

same for me
Hi all,
thanks again for the great job your doing,
I have the same problem here, Wireless is unstable and sometimes not working at all (network marked as unavailable).
I tried many roms (but I'm using TNT right now) and the unstablilty is always here.
(and again, network is down...., start, stop and...network is up...and VOIP back again...arg !! down again....)
best regards,
Albin

Now i'trying to change its icon...

WIFI problem need help!

Balur said:
Hey guys, I've been having a problem with the wifi on my universal for awhile, it just won't turn on, antenna stays off, no scanning, it's just off.
Going into the Wireless lan settings in the control panel "Wireless LAN OFF" is displayed, click "Turn on WLAN" it thinks for a few moments then returns to off with nothing changed.
Does anyone know if this is fixable? It doesn't appera to be a software issue, as it has continued on 3 diffreent ROMs... so i'm not sure how to proceed

hi @ all
this tread is a bit "past" but now i got the problem mentioned by balur.
i actually use maxstegis rom(5.2), but i also tried it with te shipped one from t-mobile.
i used google and the forum search, but i was not able to find a solution. i hope smb. can help me, because i need the wifi tomorrow!

1) Perhaps some of these ROMs are based on others that have the same problem.
solution: choose another ROM. Tomal8.2, minhanhtran, nncuong are ROMs that I vouch for that work on my maching with no WIFI problems
2) Perhaps your radio is not good
solution: try flashing another radio. I use 1.18, but many say 1.15 is the most stable. I have had problems with neither - but it may be worth reflashing your radio to make sure it is ok and stable.
Personally, I think if your original t-mobile ROM doesn't work, then you have problems with phone hardware. First I'd check other things can connect to you WLAN, to make sure it's definately the phone that's not good - or perhaps try and connect to a friends WLAN.

how can connect to a friends wlan? Quote(Balur): "returns to off with nothing changed." i cant even turn it on!
but thanks for your help!!!

I've the same problem with Tomal's 8.2. An other rooms I've tried.
The only thing I did was to change my 2Gb SD to a 4Gb HDSD

I experienced automatical turning off WiFi on Tomal 8.2 when i installed some tweaks - one to edit system settings and speed up Uni, second to disallow applications turn on GPRS - only manual turn on.
I'm not sure which of them was causing it .... don't you have something like that installed?
I'll try to find exact names of them when I'll have a while ...

Yes I had the XCPU Scalar. But now, even if I install an Original Shipped ROM, I can't turn on the wifi. I think that something is swiched off permanently, but I don't know what nor how.
