Current Setup
1. Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe
2. titan_radio_3.27.00.exe
3. dcd_titan_kitchen_2.3.2.rar
Everthing works with some data issues when downloading large files due to a but in the titan_radio_3.27.00.exe (I can live with it).
The problem is when I partnership the Titan with the Holux 240 GPS external Bluetooth GPS it does not connect. I can see the device but never can connect, Yes I use the standard 0000 passcode. Other Bluetooth devices ie my headset Moto N700 and car head unit Sony BT-2500, audio and hands free all work. I'll be travelling to an area with no Digital service and would like to use the GPS with Navigation software.
When I restore the original TELCOM ROM, I have no problems with Holux 240, Moto N700 and Sony BT-2500. When I connect I see a serial port as a list service.
Some threads talk about a fix for the Bluetooth stack? nueROM or Dogguy in PPCGeek.
Another item to be noted. With Bluethooth A2DP headsets, if I connect once do I have the reconnect to the device again? The Sony BT-2500 pairs with with Titan (any CE ROM) but I need to resave the audio everytime.
I haven't tried my Holux GPSlim 240 with any of the new ROMs yet, but I'll try to remember to give it a shot when I got off work.
I'm curious though - why would you want to use external GPS when you can use the one built into the phone? My Titan's GPS seems to be more accurate than my Holux 240. You don't need digital service to use the GPS, unless you're using Google Maps or some other program that downloads maps on the fly. If you already have a navigation program with maps, just use the built-in GPS.
I thought the GPS chip in the Titan was a gpsOne that uses digital cellular signal from the towers to triangulates your position.
From phonenews.com
Installing this update will enable GPS to function inside your HTC Titan. It enables the gpsOne chipset in your device to function as a standard GPS device, compatible with Windows Mobile 5 & 6 GPS applications, including Google Maps, Windows Live for Mobile, and navigation software such as TomTom Navigator. Keep in mind that gpsOne is not autonomous GPS, you will need to have home network coverage in order to maintain a GPS lock.
I posted about this same problem with my Holux 1200. The internal GPS always takes 5+ minutes to connect for me no matter where I am or what I use to juimp start it, so there are times when I'd want to use my external receiver for a quick connection. When setting up my receiver I set the outgoing COM port to 0. Then from the external GPS settings I try to set the GPS hardware port to 0 also, but the setting doesn't stick. It always reverts back to the default which is none. Some people have told me that they never set the GPS hardware port, but I always had to previously to use my GPS receiver. Now with the internal GPS enabled I can't.
Found some more information
gpsOne can operate in 4 modes:
Standalone - Your handset has no connection to the network, and uses only the GPS satellite signals it can currently receive to try and establish a location.
MS Based - Your handset is connected to the network, and uses the GPS signals + a location signal from the network.
MS Assisted - Your handset is connected to the network, uses GPS signals + a location signal then relays its 'fix' to the server, which then uses the signal strength from your phone to the network towers to further plot your position. You can still maintain voice communication in this scenario, but not 'Internet/Network service' ie Web Browser, IM, streaming TV etc..
MS Assisted/Hybrid - Same as above, but network functionality remains. Normally only in areas with exceptional coverage.

Dear Friends,
I bought an MDA 2 (QTEK2020) and a wired XAIOX X3 GPS receiver and installed TOMTOM Navigator 3.01
The Xaiox is a rather new type I think (can receive up to 16 satellites)
I saw in the list of GPS Receivers that this brand XAIOX was not in, but on the website of Xaiox is mentionned that the gps protocol is NMEA 0183v3 compatible and you should pick 9600 baud rate.
In the TomTom list I saw NMEA 0183v2 9600 (version 2 only). I checked this one and waited 45 minutes,but didn't get any connection.
The field 'receive incomming beams' (like infrared,...) is set out,as i read this could block an incomming port like the receiver.
My Xaiox receiver has no lights,so I can't see any status. It had a serial cable out,and i bought a small piece to convert to USB, and this USB connects to a smaller type of usb on the bottom of the MDA2.
I'm not sure if I should choose 'Serial on Com1' or Serial on USB. But I tried both of them and still no connection. I also tried all of the other brands in the list like Destinator 3,SIRF 9600,TOMTOM,... but no connection.
This GPS receiver is brand new, and I tried it at home with power cable in, cause i the gps receiver had to load also. Also on the road no connection.
I updated to TomTom 3.03 but no change.
1>Is the GPS receiver NMEA protocol V3 too high for the one in the TomTom Navigator list (NMEA v2 only)?
2>Do I choose the wrong port or gps receiver model ?
3>Do I have to close phone connections in order to use GPS ?
I tried 'Turn Flight Mode Off' but it didn't work either...strange stuff...
Thanks and a happy 2005 everyone!!!![/b]
Usb will not work, it will need to be wired for serial connection, what is this mini usb converter you are using? The phone is not capable of communicating with a usb gps receiver because both the gps and the phone are usb slave devices and have no capability to talk to one another.

Hi all!
I want to use a bluetooth gps with my hero. i can pair the hero with the bluetooth gps, but i can't connect with it.
I know that there is a gps in the hero, but i want to use this app:
http://trackmaster.trackaroo.com/welcome
Which is far more accurate with an external unit on a track. Moreover, my car as a athermical windshield, and i would like to put the bluetooth unit in the back of the car to avoid signal cut.
The app use this add on to exploit external gps unit: bluetooth gps service: but in the description of the app we can read: htc hero not support bluetooth gps.
In my search on google, i could read that htc devices doesnt support SPP profile.
Any chance to find something to make it work??
Ps: i found the app "Bluetooth gps" which work like a charm with my external gps, so it can work, but how?
Hi! I want to ask you something:
I am using HB 2.2 with Hunds Kernel, all is working properly, only the GPS doesn't work so well. I tried using GPS Status with the GPS Dongle attached to my TF, he sees some satellites, but he can't fix them, they suddenly disappear.
I don't know if is a ROM problem, kernel problem or what else.
There's something I can do?
Thanks.
I have read some tips on the Internet. That was useful for me. I will post it here so if someone need that, can read!
Here's the step by step to setup GPS BT Streaming to a TF201 :
1) root the PHONE (not the Tablet)
2) download "Bluetooth GPS" on the prime (or tablet) by googoo android. This will receive the GPS signal over bluetooth.
3) enable mock locations under developer settings on the prime settings
4) download a GPS to Bluetooth app on the PHONE. There are several
4.1) I use "Bluetooth gps" by meowsbox free trial 1.49 full version
4.2) you will need to grant su privileges to the GPS to Bluetooth app you use
4.3) some apps work better with certain phones
5) start GPS and gps streaming utilizing utility from #4 on the phone
6) pair phone and prime under bluetooth settings, in the settings menu of both tech.
7) open up Bluetooth GPS on the prime choose the PHONE from the dropdown source menu and click connect
8) you should now be able to utilize GPS as if it were native on the prime
8.1) you can see feed from bluetooth gps, see sats with GPS test, utilize maps or special nav charts e.g. boats planes etc.
Hi all,
I have a car, which has a windscreen with additional anti-UV layer (violet-like, when looking at it from the outside). Unfortunately thus windscreen successfully restricts any kind of radio transmission (eg. GPS signal, anti-radar detection, etc.). I've bought a standalone GPS bluetooth receiver (Nokia LD-3W), this sort of devices has much better signal reception than internal one. It can receive signal indoor, no matter which floor I am on. My plan was to put it at the back of my car, in the windowed trunk. And then, Houston, we have a problem...
Android does not support external GPS receivers by itself. You have to download a bluetooth gps app from the GP (one of the best is called Bluetooth GPS). Turn bloetooth on, turn on mock location in programming options (you have to, because internal GPS will still be on; turning of locations in android disconnects from the external GPS), turn mock GPS in the Bluetooth GPS app, and then, theoretically, you can use your external GPS. Yes, it works, but...
Many, many apps have a check for the mock location and refuse to work with these settings... Some navigations, all radar-warners used in my country, family locators and many more.
I'm eagerly looking for a way to patch an app to disable this check (Lucky Patcher?) or any other way to solve this problem.
Thanks,
SQBI
