Hey all,
I have my athena for a couple of days now but I still can't get the GPS to position. As it is a T-mobile Ameo I used Oprio's Unlocker first. Everything went fine and now I can use it with every SIM. Then I upgraded with the WM6 Dopod U1000 and so far so good. The only thing that worries me is that I can't get the GPS to work. I tried both OziExplorer and Googlemaps, also BeelineGPS and GPSTuner. None of these programs can find a satellite and obtain a position. Am I missing some settings or maybe there are no satelites over my area?
OPp and something else that bothers me. Is the Status Display just not working under WM6 or it's only by me so?
I have the x7500/Advantage and GPS works after updating to WM6. I haven't yet unlocked my phone because i'm waiting for the cooked ROM's to be released before I go through this.
Have you installed maybe some other software that uses GPS and see what happens or are you trying it with just one program?
have you changed the gps settings in start-settings-system-external gps?
I use software-none hardware-5 baud-9600 tick-manage auto.
run quickgps first before you try any of your programmes,and let it update, this will give your progs satellites to look for and speed things up a bit, it does take some time to get a fix.
you haven't tried selecting it as a sirf-star have you? that will stop it working and need the battery leaving out for a while..

yep I tried both COM5 and COM4 with 4800/9600, also ran the QuickGPS.
What do you mean by selecting it as a sirf-star?
some software (for example memory map navigator) gives you the option to select different types of gps receiver protocols, there are a few. garmin, navman, magelan, sirf, nmea,
nmea is what the 7500 uses, but if you select sirf-star then it appears the gps shuts down, and the best way of restoring it at present is to either take the battery out or if you're lucky just hard reset it.
I did this
No, I haven't selected sirf. Is there some simple GPS software just to try whether the integrated GPS is working? Could it be just that there are no satellites over my area?
Come on guys, tell me how you get your GPS to work. Should I go back to WM5 or maybe change the Radio ROM? All the programs I tried still can't find any satellites? Any suggestions for other settings?

I don't have an answer for you, but I can tell you that the GPS satellite system covers the whole planet, so there are some over your area. Sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
Hmm I know but althoufh I am in the city centre it shout find at least 1-2 satellites. Maybe I should go somewhere out of the city and try there. I still doubt that there's something wrong with the settings or the software.
i had the same problem, using AMEO, unlocked using olipro unlocker.. GPS never worked afterwords .. the SIRFbootloader section in the ROM isn't updatable getting a communication error and that is it. I've to return it to T-mobile.. don't know how to remove the Olipro bootloader and how i can get back the original T-mobile rom!
Hope your problem is fixable .. as mine isn't

I did upgrade to Olipro, but I have bever seen any communcation errors. As far as I can tell, every upgrade went fine. My GPS works in 2% of the cases, it takes forever to get a fix, and after even the slightest displacement or move, the fix is gone again.
I am not getting any communications errors. I did all all the settungs as shown on this site http://www.x7501.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1184315093/0
and f.e on Google maps it just shows "Seeking GOS satellites (0)"
On the BeelineGPS I get "Fix not available" and a red circle blinks.
I really don't know what to try more. Maybe should I flash another Radio ROM or get back to WM 5.0? Any other suggestions?
mine too after upgrading to WM6, my quickGPS is not able to download the satellite data via Activesync. i used to be able to do so on WM5... whats wrong?
try this!!
Unplug battery then plug it again, this will help your mobile like factory reset !

For tests I am using old small app which was fro PPC2003. It works fine with my Advantage X7500 on Com4 and 4800 baud rate in WM6. It usualy starts showing satelites after 1 minute or so.
I have attached it here.
Edit:
I never tried to use quickGPS via ActiveSync. I use vsta. However it works fine and downloads GPS inf via WLAN/GPRS/UMTS or what is actualy available.
Did you do step 2 and three of Olipro Unlock
Step 2 Sends A Radio Rom to Unlock and step 3 a Rom tha make your GPS work again
It says so in the Olipro Unlock Documentation
Everybody has been stating that they got GPS to work, but only some left instructions. I hope this helps. Thanks to those that gave me advice on how to get this working.
Make sure unter "External GPS" that the "GPS Program port:" has "COM4" selected. Leave "Hardware" alone which is the next tab over.
Then under "Access" make sure "Manage GPS automatically" is checked
Live Search for some reason wouldnt work until I got in my car and drove away from my house. Right when I drove away, the GPS kicked in, and worked as if I had an external GPS. My settings for Live Search are "GPS COM4".
In order for TomTom to work, you first have to get your GPS location in Live Search, then launch TomTom, and then TomTom will work fine as if you had an external GPS.
My TomTom settings are "NMEA GPS receiver" then "com 4" then baud is "9600".
These are the steps i took to get GPS working with the new ROM update using the internal GPS. Havent been able to test the Rev A yet. But it seems everybody is stating that is working fine, but only some were able to get GPS working.
Hopefully this will help you all to get GPS working with the new ROM. W/o me doing these steps, I wasnt able to get GPS working. Also please note that I had to leave my house for it to work. With my Bluetooth GPS receiver I could get a location in live search or Tomtom w/o leaving the house. But for the internal GPS, i had to leave the house.
Have you tried with google maps. For some reason i can get GPS signal in my house with google, but not with live. Also, under the GPS hardware, does yours say none, and baud 9600 or 4800?
Edit:
Never mind, I got it working, live just connected in my house. I have baud set to 4800, don't think it really matters. (anyone know what baud is anyway, and what the best settings are?). I wish there was a way to do this without live though.
baud is just another word for bits per second, its the connection speed of the hardware, since its internal it probably wouldnt make much of a differnce

I have everything working but tom tom 6. It says no GPS device what gives? Do you have to have Live search running in the background for tom tom to work. I close Live Search after aquiring five satellites then launch tom tom 6 and all I get is no GPS device. hehe I know this is a beta and not a release rom. I have no Idea how people can aquire a satellite in their home. Shesh I have a huge solarium and still have to go outside.
what do u mean you get five satellites? Also to answer your question, what i do is after getting the GPS fixture in Live Search, I just click start and go to Tom Tom, without doing anything to live search. It seems to close automatically when I open Tom Tom.
Does anyone know if the GPS signal comes via the Sprint towers or is my phone communicating directly with the satellites in the sky? I ask because getting a signal inside my house seems unreal.
GPS signals come from satellites which is why the signal degrades when you move inside, eventually becoming nonexistent or unreal.
When someone says they are getting five satellites it means that is how many signals their device is receiving and using to triangulate its position. It requires at least four satellite signals to triangulate a current position and the more signals it can pick up on the more accurate the triangulation.
Ks.
when i said "unreal" i meant unbelievable i have a globalsat BT308 (which is kind of old, i bought it in 2000 or 2001) and theres no way i would ever get a signal inside.
so even if i go out of sprint reception area i can still communicate with the satellites right?
For some reason I always have to setup the GPS device in TomTom. It works but as soon as I close TomTom it looses the GPS settings. Then I have to run through the setup again...
Anyone else having the same issue?
My GPS wasn't working at all until I turned on GPS location under the phone menu. Location Settings under services.
Once I turned that on my GPS started picking up satellites with in 5 seconds sitting in my house.
Does Anybody know how to get the GPS to work with iGo 2006? I am having no luck at all getting iGo to recognize the GPS device.
TomTom appears to have a bug where it does not see the port windows gps port sharing is showing because the hardware port is set to none (I think it's actually com1 for the real hardware). As a result until something OPENS the port for tomtom, it's unable to attach to it. Until this is fixed you have to launch some other program that does work first and leave it open for tomtom to open the port.

Theoretically, you should be able to get a GPS signal anywhere in the world.

I understand that they can selectively disable regions now. (read about it in the paper when they unfogged the signals) so conceivably,we wouldn't be able to use our moguls in iraq or afganistan.

I think what they do is place devices selectively in those locations that send out false GPS signals to confuse the NAV devices. (probably from ground based stations or on moving convoys that are trying to NOT be detected)

Has anyone gotten Garmin Mobile XT to work with the internal GPS?
I am going to hold off on Flashing and give DCD some time to mature the release since I already have a G10 bluetooth reciever and have no issues but it would be nice to be able to leave that in my car and use internal when I'm not in my own car.
As far as i know...these are govt sats that are "open to the publuc." In a state of emergency or other situation, they can be blocked or certain areas can be blocked so only, say, certain govts/military could use them. This was the only way the us govt was willing and able to let the gen pop use the sats.
thanks for ap4 havent had a problem but i have gone and found so many settings for gps can any one give me a default or a list to have my gps work thanks
Theres a lot of advice here about getting a decent fix. The bottom line is your best bet is to use the physical GPS COM port unless you need to run more than one GPS app simultaneously . A software port cannot be more efficient than the hardware port unless it is opened regularly in the background to maintain a current fix.
The hardware is COM5 and Baud can be left at the NMEA standard of 4800.
Remember to go outside for a 1st fix
Hi Mods!
I really sorry that I have to open new thread, because I and some others also posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405016&page=4
but it seems that no one can solve that problem correctly. And MODs seems that don't know about that problem.
So, could MODs give us some ideas and solutions.
For example: I used Original ROM, GPS with TT7 was OK.
But when I change to another ROM (any other ROM), it was so good that everything works well but not GPS.
Hope to hear from u soon.
Thank you.

You do know about the problem with validating maps for a new installation of TT7 ?
Do a google for this in xda -devs.
i used this TT7 on Kaiser and it worked like a champ.
and from your instruction, I also sink to another sea that the need information is somewhere but could not find out.
could u pls give me a better ideas. pls don't tell me that: google something in somewhere.
I spent so much time to discuss and post somewhere else.
thanks
Clarify.
Please explain the type of gps problems your having, Problems with getting fixes? Problems with tomtom?
I need yr help
thanks friend
My problem is here.
When I bought x7501, I installed TT7.45 with Map of North America. It work fast and better than Kaiser I had.
Then I tried to Up ROM to SPL 3.5 (every ROM for 3.5) and I could not use GPS. TT7 work but it only show the working screen with: Waiting for valid GPS signal... forever. And when I find the GPS position, it says: Poor signal.
I tried to change Radio version but failed.
I also tried to convert back to SPL 1.2 now and working with Official ROM 6.0 (but with SPL 1.2 Oliprof). I tried to change Radio version, from 1.47 to 1.57 to 1.58 but failed. So strange (because I had to format the drive when I convert back from SPL 3.5 to SPL 1.2 so I lost my backup file for SPL 1.2 for original ROM).
Now I can not receive GPS signal.
I also try to install GPS Proxy,but this program doesnt run in my Athena, it says: Negative exception and quit.
I aslo try to change th port for GPS to another COM port, but it will not turn on GPS device.
In my Athena, the default COM port for GPS is COM4.
So, that's my problem.
Could you help me with detail instruction.
So thanks and wait for your help
try
you can try going to
settings/system/external gps/
*
software port com 4,hardware leave it at none,set baud 9600,manage gps automatically checked
*
import attached reg file on device
*
install attached visual gps
*
run quickgps ,download updated empheris file
*
soft reset device
*
load visualgps, click agree,click edit,settings,set port to com4,baud 9600,click ok
*
hold device by window or go outside
*
Wait for grey signal bars to go blue then your set
*
load up ttn,click where u see signal bars in lower right,then agn on right above version number,configure gps to use other nmea,set com port 4,baud 9600
*
it should instantly have fix!
thanks friend
i hope it will work
i try it now then tell u later
but do u mean that it works for AP 4 only? or another rom?
What Radio do you have installed
i am confused because your sig says you have radio 1.57 but you say in your post above that you couldn't upgrade from radio 1.47.
AP4 needs at least radio 1.50 according to here http://www.htc-hackers.com/uploads/AP4_How_To_1.8.pdf

Steps are optimal for michy roms,ap4 gps should be blistering fast "out the box"! When I used ap4 I was using radio 1.57,and even indoors I had gps fixes in 30 secs after soft resetting.
As of now I use radio 1.58 for hsupa on michy 6.1 rom and have fairly good gps.The steps above emulate my settings with exception of rom.
GOOD NEWS - GPS is working like a rabbit
Hi friends
Firstly, so thanks to all of my new friends, who were trying to reply and show me the way to solve the problems.
Secondly, I want to give u the good news. Now GPS is working as a champ.
But it is a little bit difference with some guides from u.
- I follow the steps above and change the baudrate to 9600, but after reset, it comes back to 4800 as default.
- The COMPORT for program is COM 4. For the hardware, I set default is NONE.
- Then, I install VisualGPS.BeeLineGPS.v1.83.Build.125 and reset. After that I run Visual GPS Beeline first, it works after 20 seconds and lock my location when I stay in my car (The weather now is -1 celcius degree outside - very cold).
- Then I run TOMTOM, I choose BUILT IN GPS (but not other NMEA). And TOMTOM works perfectly after 10 seconds - I did that because I remember that I always chose BUILT IN GPS when I used TT7 with this one two weeks ago.
And here are some tests after that:
- I turn on Wifi, open DATA connection (that is a issue when I use Kaiser, if Data connection is opening, TT7 can not receive the signal), then open TT7 (without openning the VISUAL GPS), it works after 12 seconds.
- I come into my room (the second floor in a three floors house) and turn on TT7 without using any other software, it lock after 10 seconds with average 5-8 sats.
WOW. It can't be better.
But I still don't know which one help which one. Because, when I installed TT7, then I run it for the first time yesterday, it said: could not run because of the memory available.
Then I try to run GoogleMap (even if I did not connect to Wifi - so ofcourse GoogleMap only turned on but did not run with data), then I tried to open TT7 again and it run (confuse here, who can explain to me)
The problem only now is.... WIFI. I hope can fix it soon as the instructions from CMONEX.
Thanks friends.
slight correction
just a minor correction to guide after you stating baud rate returning to 4800, in external gps settings on hardware tab to change baud I notice you need to set hardware com port to com 5 first then setting baud to 9600 ,then click ok to save.Go back in external gps settings and back to hardware tab ,as you will notice settings saved but now this time select none in hardware port and leave baud at 9600 then hit ok.
As I remember in ap4 4800 baud was default and worked best with that rom anyway,and so far it works for you.I do recommend setting use other nmea in tomtom input your baud and software com port settings from external gps control panel because you used visualgps to boot up your gps to get sat fixes for tomtom, with these settings you dont have to use visualgps to warm it up.Make sure you update your quickgps evrey 2 days then soft reset and hold phone by window or go outside when you use gps with new emphemeris file from quickgps as it can take a lil bit longer to regain track ironically ,but once you get fix itll be super quick no matter where you are,even if you soft reset.The only time you need to have clear view of sky again to get sat fix is if you turn off device completely for an hour or 2, or update quickgps data agn in 2 days (up to full 3 sometimes) or flash a new rom :>.
For wifi,I dont kno how to fix,cmonex prob has to send you a special file to regain mac address so wifi can work even after spl changes.
First of all my respect to all the cooks and tweakers out there who brought us these fine ROMS for our Raph's with the latest and greatest manila stuff on it.
Second, if this is posted in the wrong thread, or if we want to widen the audience, (@mod's) please feel free to move this thread.
However, I feel like this is the right place to start this little thread.
I have been tampering with my device for days now, trying to get the My Location to work as it is supposed to.
With no joy however....I just about tried everything I could find here and on other forums.
It seems like I am not the only one with this problem, I see a lot of posts popping up in different ROM sections (even different devices) with people sharing my frustration.
It seems like it is not ROM relates, as I am on TAEL now, tried Energy and before that SHEP's...all with no go on my location, but all ROMS with lot's of people reporting that it is working fine for them on same ROMS.
After fresh flash, different Radio's and Rilphones...no go...
I am trying to figure out a pattern, but because reports of My Location not working are so dispersed over the forums, it is hard to get a good view.
That's why I want to start this troubleshooting guide here.
Maybe it is an idea for everyone who has troubles to post their provider, their ROM (even though it is not related I think) and their tweaks.
Also radio and Rilphone, as well as info about your gps usage or agps settings.
ALso please post your actual failure (is it the connection error or is it that you get the message No weather data available)
Is it working through wifi or not.... stuff like that.
Any additions or thoughts to this is welcome.
I will reserve a second post for possible fixes and a third post with a possible template for reporting your issues.
I am really impressed by the way XDA members are pulling together at the moment to fix issues, let's keep up the good work

On my phone it is not always working , it is the location where I am.
in my home city it is working but a city 20Km (12.43 mile) away it isn't working and the network is the same .
maybe you can test that.
Edit: when I am driving (fast) (180 Km/h and faster) it won't work to.
ps: in Germany you may drive as fast as the car can go
I seem to recall a thread posted a few months back in the Raphael Software and/or Raphael ROM Development by some seasoned chefs (including Da_G).
Essentially, the thread highlighted the fact that some carriers changed the AGPS entry to reference an internal network server. This would cause AGPS to only function if you are a subscriber of the carrier network (ex: AT&T).

Tnx..
However, I don't think this is down to AGPS, as I have AGPS working as should..
If I use HTCGPSTool I can see that data is being injected from AGPS into my gps chip...
Do you have any indication wether my location works purely on AGPS info?

Good question; I'm not sure as to how much My Location depends on AGPS data. If you have it working, I would guess likely not as much as originally suspected.

Thanks for your input though bro..
As a respected member, it's good to have your input....
Alas,,,,,, the quest continues....
My actual error is: My Fuze is not shaped like Megan Fox
I own a FUZE
I am using this ROM: TAEL 28002 Manila 2.1
My current Radio version is: 1.14.25.35
My current Rilphone version is: 1.14.25.35
My provider is: AT&T USA
It is working: The phone is, Megan Fox Mod, not so much.
I use AGPS: yes
I use GPS often: yes
I have tweaked my device: tweaked to disable vibration, increase GPS log size. still no luck on Megan Fox
I have been tampering with AGPS registry: not as far as i know.
Using Goolgemaps I get my position from the cell towers without problems: All the time. it pisses me off though, till the GPS kicks in a few seconds later and it shows me what street im on. The weather service also is reliable in fetching weather for my present location.
If anyone figures out the Megan Fox Mod, please let me know.
i suggest not using the 1.17 radio and sticking with the 1.14.25.35. definitely superior imo, and im in MA where ATT blows donkey kong, and i still get fixes really fast. atleast cell tower fixes are instantaneous.
With some of the first NRG roms i tried that had mylocation. My fuze would only pick up on the actual location if i was using wifi or if i turned my 3G off. For some reason, while on EDGE, location worked. Now though, my sim card was screwing up and dropping calls and when I swapped it out for a new one at an ATT store my location works almost 100% of the time on 3G, EDGE, or wifi.
My actual error is: No weather data available (with 3G\HSDPA and 2G\WIFI)
I own a Touch HD (Blackstone)
I am using this ROM: Miri WM 6.5 21885 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 15.0
My current Radio version is: 1.10.25.25
My current Rilphone version is: 1.14.25.24 BS Rilphone
My provider is: Zain KSA
It is working: sometime only when connected with GPS
I use AGPS: yes
I use GPS often: no
I have tweaked my device: no initially
I have been tampering with AGPS registry: no
Using Goolgemaps I get my position from the cell towers without problems: Yes, but I don't get it so accurate (within 1300m)
I am thinking it is related to......1) Accuracy of Google location service itself as long as it's still a beta service and it's sometimes inaccurate as in my case for example Google maps would show my location within 1300m from a center point in my city if my phone radio is on, while it would show it within 16100 m from a center point in another city if I turn off my radio and use wifi of my DSL router (my DSL ISP server is in another city which is about 600 km from my actual location). BUT, if I use GPS, my Google maps would show my actual location and HTC weather will get my location and update weather for it.
2) The way HTC manila integrates with google location service
N.B: it would be nice for us to test my theory if everyone writes what my location gives on google maps (acurte point vs. within xxxxxx meters from point)
issue solved
