hi everyone.
sorted a mate with tom tom 7 on his charmer with newest wm5 official (o2). program works fine, but the problem is linking with his copilot gps bt module.
it all works well until the GPS MODULE is turned off, like you would overnight.
when turned back on, the pda asks if you want to connect. saying yes prompts for the passcode for gps module, but now have to re-do all settings on pda and tom tom, before it will work.
i tried it with my hermes running wm6.1 pro, and i dont have a problem.
any ideas?
Install WM 6.1 on Charmer. (Maybe this works cause you said it works on Hermes.)
i will as a last resort. i was just wondering if anyone else had come across this problem before
Found way around the problem. Tried a different GPS unit, works brilliantly.
not fixed the problem, but good enough

Hello xda-users....
I've got a little problem with my xda using tomtom.
I've added the GPS part (V209) of Tomtom diretly to the Rom.
I'm using a WM2003 ROM.
I had opened GPS an got the error "COM1 does not exist".
So exiting GPS and disabled infrared.
Opened GPS and the problem still exists.
I did not get it working. Tried some Soft and Hardresets.
May this be a problem because:
a) GPS is in the ROM
b) No other TomTom Software installed
c) Only the files from V209 are used
d) No Activation of TomTom has done (Don't know how to activate GPS...)
e) ???????
Anyone could help me?

Hmmm, turning off the infrared port worked fine for me. Is it an actual TomTom GPS receiver or a third party? Have you set the NMEA/Sirf parameters to match the module?

It's a third party GPS Reciever (Haicom)
It already worked.....
The Problem is, that i couldn't set the settings to Serial cable atteched to COM 1.
I got the error:
Cannot open Com1:
Port does not exist
:?
Turning infrared off, worked for me in the other cases too.....

Comm 9
Hi LumpiStefan
I had the same problem when I had the XDA, change the comm setting to Comm 9.
I was also using the Hiacom HI-203e. and this worked for me...
Hope it helps.
Sno...
do you suffer with disappearing check boxes?
i fixed mine after flashin rom 4.01.00 by the following
install navigator and voice prompts but not gps
upgraded to navigator 2.24
then installed gps 2.09
no checkbox problems or com1 errors.
Got another hint to disable folderable keyboard. Will test all given solutions today.....
Hope one will work.
Thx to all
Stefan
The folding keyboard driver will also snatch com1 for its own use.
Ok. Problem solved.
Com9 didn´t work for me. Problam was the Keyboard-driver...

Hi All
I have an XDA with WM2003 on it and I have a problem with COM1 it says can not open allready in use, basically what happend was I use to run TTN5 with a wired GPS reciever, but my battery died on me, so I thought I would upgrade from PPC2002 to WM2003 and upgraded my RSU after I installed my new battery, since then I can not use the wired GPS reciever. I have tried GPSGate 2.0 and this comes back with the same problem. I did downgrade back to PPC2002 and downgraded the RSU but it still hasnt fixed this problem. Have you Guy's any idea on a solution.

Right problemsolved, after an hour of searching I found theis thread..

disable IR incoming
I've connected bluetooth GPS to 3125, seemed to be OK (it asked about pin and after that info about equipment beeing connected).
Unfortunatelly GPS software doesn't communicate with GPS equipment. It is searching for bluetooth GPS but doesn't find it. I tried to set connection (port, baud rate) manually but I don't know which COM port is assigned to bluetooth
Is there any way to check this on ?
P.S. I've installed WM6.1 standard by Erofich
try 6.1 pro
I found that bluetooth is using COM6.
The biggest problem was in finding properly working GPS software
hi bchrubas,
Which GPS software are you actually using on WM6.1 standard?
I tried WM6.1 pro for a while but found WM6.1 standard more handsome since I manly want to use my phone simply as a phone
Anyway I'm still missing a good GPS program for navigation which is not intended for touch screen devices.
For now I stucked with Sygic McGuider (http://www.sygic.com/)
It doesn't need touch screen and StarTrek (or At&T 3125) is on the list of compatibile devices. MCGuider runs on STK quite fairly, I didn't noticed any major errors, maybe if it was little faster? (I know that it is possible to overclock this phone but i'm not quite sure about it
Anyhow, I'm stiil searching for some simple GPS track loging software
I looked around a bit and on smartphone-freeware.com I found these two programs:
gpsVP
chtiGPS
both seem to be able to do the loging. And the first one might even be worth trying as a navigation software for me.
not bad, especially this gpsVP
if it really support Garmin format maps it could be very useful
Hi Guys just wondering if this is common problem for the S740 ?
I was using my phone today with Mcguider I saw some bars pop up trying to get lock then since that it says hardware error and freezes the phone if I attempt to go into mcguider and the same occurs when I try google mpas with GPS.
Just wondering if this is a freak hardware failure or common fault so time to get a different model like HTC HD2.
thanks in advance.
Hy!
No its not an common problem......the GPS from Rose works still great for me...i´m using Sygic and Google Maps and all works perfect.....I think you should try to Reset your Phone....maybe an Software-Problem....or if you have to much money buy a new Phone... ;-)
I had problems like this in the past.
Had the same error this weekend and I think it has something to do with the QuickGPS data. I deleted the xtra.bin in the \Windows folder rebooted (did not redownload quickGPS data) and waited for a regular fix and it didn't hang on using GPS after that.
When I had this error in the past (2-3 times a year) it just worked again after a while without me doing anything. Thats why i suspect the QuickGPS data as it times out after 7 days.
I have the same issue,
Whenever trying to use a gps program the phone locks up. I tried reflashing the WM6.5 rom again but still no luck. But i'll try this quickgps thing.
Anyone know where I can find the gps settings? (it's com4 ?)
Thanks.
after removing the quickgps it no longer locks up the phone.
Thanks!
Garmin XT & Google Maps & Bing all work with the gps now!

Thanks I did reset the phone and now it works once again so I guess it is a common issue.
Nope I don't have too much money I just want a phone that works perfectly for all my gadget needs and up until this point it has been perfect shame they are not making a new model it appears that the candybar phone is getting less and less popular
I am having the same problem, i tried installing Sygic mobilemaps 10 and when i come to the language selection screens the phone wont respond to anything, it will launch the gps quickfix application in the back so i think it has something to do with that. resetting the phone does nothing. problem remains when i install sygic again. Anyone an idea ?
Hy!
Okay i don´t know about QuickGPS....i make the Update via Wlan manual and its disabled to download automatic when Navi runs and i had never probs with Navi on this phone...for me its the best phone i ever had...
...and it sucks that HTC doesn´t make a new Version of this phone....
to Renever:
Sygic MobileMaps10 works with Rose? Look here...
true its an great phone..... i will try old mcguider 2009 on it again.
I use the 2009 Version and it works Great for me on Frauhottelmanns 6.5er V1.00 there is no need to Upgrade to sygic v10...... "Never touch a running System"....;-)
well i received a message that my trial has expired on mcguider 2009 .... so thats why i figured lets try the new version....
Hi guys, I have the following problem with a tg01.
The Wi-Fi don`t want to turn on at all. When I try to start it, I got that loading wheel for a few seconds, then it is gone and the Wi-Fi is not turned on. Is it look like a hardware issue and can I confirm that it is a hardware failure? The phone belong to a friend of mine. At first it was running some French version of WM, dont know which one exactly. He says at this point everything was working fine. Then some "gsm guru" hold the phone for a month trying to flash it with WWE version and he got it back with WWE WM 6.1 but the Wi-FI and the GPS was not working. I took the phone trying to help. I flash it with ROM_TG01_29017_Shell_WWE - WM6.5
The OS is working nice and smooth, the GPS is back and working fine, but the Wi-Fi is still gone... so any sugestions how can I 100% confirm that it is a hardware issue?
Thanks in advance.
