Hi everyone just needed abit of help understanding the difference between GPS/A-GPS
I use a GPS jammer for my work vehicle, and to test the jammer is working i go onto my HTC touch pro2 satnav which uses GPS and the signal wont work whilst the jammer is on
Sadly that phone broke and i now have a HTC mozart that uses windows 7 - when i turn the GPS jammer on the satnav on the mozart still finds signal and doesnt get blocked at all
I was wondering if my GPS jammer is not working anymore, but then i tested it on a friends samsung android phone and the signal gets blocked
can anyone explain this/have a theory of why i can still get satnav on the htc mozart whilst the jammer is on?
please specify

Hi!
3 Questions about situation with mozart.
1. If you move (with mozart and jammer), the stamp from the GPS receiver will move as well or it will stay in one place?
2. If you turn the receiver is turned on after the jammer (jammer is turned on first)? Whether a receiver can correctly identify the location in this case?
3. Are you sure that is working on locating by GPS, and not by the base stations of the cellular operator?

hey thanks for the reply, yo answer your questions -
1. Yes the navigation moves whenever i move
2. Wether i turn the receiver or jammer on first makes no difference, i tried both ways and both times the receiver still finds my position
3. I read into some FAQ's about the navigation programme (orange maps) and apparently it works using something called microsoft location - and i think that works by cellular operators and wifi but i still dont quite understand it tbh

has anybody managed to configure the TT3 navigator and bluetooth GPS to work with the new XDaIIi at all? I've been trying most of the day,
I can get the BT manager in the xda to pair with the GPS unit.
I can tell get the xda to communicate with the gps I think???
I cant get a signal from the GPS to xda when TT3 is on, hence useless!!
In my xda BT manager I can see that the GPS is active on an outgoing connection, is this right?
I thought it would have been an inbound connection, but that may be just me!
HELP!!!
Cheers
Pete
working perfect here, tomtom navi 3, bluetooth gps, xda2i
I posted pics of it running in the other thread.. I just selected the correct comport (com6 iirc) in the gps config and clicked the slider to allow it to talk to tomtom
Yup was using mine last night on the way home.
Cheers

Mine is working perfect,
Make sure that on the GPS status, then GPS tab you have selected TomTom Wireless GPS. On the second drop down mine says Bluetooth Serial Port COM6
any chance any of you can spare a few mins to talk me through this pls as I seem to be completely lost with this thing? I thought I'd done everything I was supposed to do....and it still wont work!!
I've got a little time this morning, so if anyone has a few mins to assist I'd be grateful
i'll watch this thread for a reply...
Cheers
Pete
sure if u use msn messenger add me, i'm ** details removed after numerous requests for pirated tom tom navi **
on irc i'm maltloaf on efnet
Thankyou to all of you who assisted in the resolution. Ultimately it turned out to be as simple as resetting the port on the device to com port 6 and checking the blue tick box at the side!
Dead easy when you know how!!
Grateful thanks to all for the advice and willing assistance.

hi
you must name the gps "OTHER BLUETOOTH GPS"
when you sync it with the phone
it will work well with tomtom and other soft
I don,t know with tomtom but with Efficasoft GPS Utilities you must check in Menu->GPS Setup->AutoSearch Bluetooth GPS reciver, and see if there is your device, or choose manual your device.
After that don't forget to go to Menu->Start GPS

Good morning I have a probleme with Garmin XT and my HTC VOX it connect has my GPS but rest blocked on research satellite
install this cab and then try
View attachment enablegps.CAB
it has few registry tweaks enabling gps connection
this will help you connect
his step always not
I think your GPS programs might have been "fighting" for the GPS data or that it had bad epheremis data. It is recommended that with WM 6.1 and above to have the GPS "managed" by the system.
You do this by going from the Start Menu to Settings to System and select External GPS. Then you want to select the Port your programs will use to obtain GPS data. Normally the four lower ones were commonly used by most computer systems which is why I recommend selecting COM9 as the port.
On the Hardware tab, you need to identify which Port your GPS is on. I used GPSToggle, which is a Today plug-in, to start and warm up my GPS. You can read about GPSToggle here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gps-toggle.html.
Download the CAB file which I recommend installing to your device internal memory. Then go to your Today screen and then to Settings menu followed by Today. On the Items check the box next to BAF GPS Toggle. Click okay and this will place GPSToggle on your Today screen.
Unfortunately most smartphones do not have dedicated GPS chips because they eat battery power. On a dedicated receiver like a Personal Navigation Assistant (handheld GPS aka PNA), the GPS is turned on automatically when the PNA is powered up. Depending upon when your GPS was last activated, a dedicated SIRF chip can go from cold-start to 3D fix in as little as 42 seconds and as long as three minutes if epheremis data is present and the GPS has not been moved more than 10 miles from its last power up.
For most smartphone users, the last time your GPS was fired up was when it was built in China or wherever. The GPS can retain that information as its old epheremis data which is used to communicate with satellites. If the data is bad and old, it can take much longer for your GPS to lock-on and get a 3D fix.
For this reason, it is recommended that on smartphones that a GPS utility like the ones mentioned above be used. In essence, the smartphone's GPS must be "warmed up" from a cold start state to warm state where it is communicating with satellites in resolving a 2D fix ultimately to hot state where 3D fixing is available.
GPSToggle on your Today screen will "warm up the GPS" for you when you turn it. You will then see bars indicating the number of satellites the GPS has found. Once it syncs with them, the bar will go solid. When four bars go solid, 3D fixing is available. At that point you could turn on your satnav program and should be good to go.
If you see the altitude and nothing else comes in then the BT connection is obviously ok, so pairing, establishing the connection via COM port and the program using the connection seems ok.
Your problem then is the GPS receiver not sending the data required.
Find a program that resets the GPS receiver, if you can remove the battery put it out for half a minute and reinsert it. Once the GPS has a satelite fix again it should deliver all data.
A good free powerful utility is SirfTech - obviously only useful if your BT Mouse has a SIRF chipset.

Hello, was enablegps.cab developed here on xda? If so, is there a thread on it?
Hi all
i have a htc touch pro, and was just wondering do you need to unlock the GPS to use it with garmin ? or any other seperatley installed sat nav?
cus ive installed tom tom and garmin and they both cant pick up a gps signal ?
jack
Um no. Read more, but it could be? What device do you have (what network)? You need to go outside to get GPS signal. Maybe it's not detecting a signal. etc....
Hi there,
I'm loving my Surface so far (Had it for two weeks) and would like to know if anyone has managed to pair it with a USB or Bluetooth GPS unit?
If yes, does it work well with the included Bing maps? Or are there any other good apps for use with a GPS?
I potentially have two uses for the device with GPS enabled.
1) As a navigation device
2) As a GPS logger that can log my position and export the data to be used in Photoshop Lightroom to geotag my photos.
If anyone has done this can they please share with GPS device you have tried and how your experiences have been?
I was hoping that using my Android phone as a WiFi hotspot would allow Bing maps access to the GPS location of my phone...but I don't think it works.
I was able to pair it with my BT GPS but no luck actually getting any apps to work with it...

The same result here.

Do you guys have the Windows location platform enabled? I think it may be off by default, which prevents apps from getting your location even when the OS has it.
Open Start, type "location", and look under Settings.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get GPS on the watch without the phone being paired. Everytime I try tracking in s-health it will only track my route if GPS is on on my phone. Similarly in here maps I can't get a location fix if GPS is not turned on my phone.

I know that the LTE version can transmit GPS location without being connected to a smartphone. I'm not sure about the BT only model.

I also have the LTE version. It works but you have to go into the settings and turn on the location in settings. I don't know how it works with BT version. You may want to go in and see if you have location settings.
As far as maps, you may be out of luck. You will still need the phone to send the map to the watch. With the LTE version I can get a map or navigate in standalone because I have a LTE connection to retrieve the data.
Now I did notice one thing. When I am connected to my phone, my S3 gets GPS from the phone and not the watch. The GPS on the watch only goes on when not connected to the phone.
