First off let me say GREAT JOB by DCD and Co... I'm a former 6700 user (used to mod over at PPC6700users) and just recently upgraded to the Mogul... I'm new to the whole kitchen thing and with ease was able to use the new kitchen 2.3.0... Again, thanks to DCD and all other who contributed... I cannot begin to express how much we all appreciate the hard work and support you guys provide us...
Now to the question:
As mentined earlier, I have recently updated to 2.3.0 and as well updated the radio to 3.27.00... For some reason I am not able to get a lock with GPS... Can any one assist...?
I'm not sure if I missed something somewhere (the search feature in this forum is not the greatest). I have searched high and low with no luck...
Thanks in advance...
1st time take long time, u need to leave it outside running for 30 minutes and connect using GPS Immediate Driver.
Also, try making a couple of calls from your Mogul and let it connect to the call for a couple of minutes. Mine wouldn't get a lock until I made a phone call. Maybe, it needs to register your location thru whatever cell site it connects thru. Although, that's just my own opinion, not really sure, but after I made a few calls, Google maps found me in less than a minute.

I didn't know it would take that long... I had read previous post where people said it connected within a minute but sure enough I set it by the window went and had dinner and there they were, 4 pretty little satelites waiting for me when I checked...
I guess I was too impatient... ;O)
Thanks to both for the advise... Let me learn my way around this mogul and who know's, maybe one day I can return the favor...

You can always warm up the GPS with software.
GPSLAUNCHER is to warm up the GPS to work with Tom Tom. This application launches Tom Tom after it warms up the GPS.
Just extract and copy to your device -- \windows\start menu\programs
GPSVIEWER1.5 is for other applications such as google maps and so on.
This one is installed through your computer ( I believe )
If you need assistance feel free to ask.
Excellent... I'll give it a try...
Does 2.3.0 have aPGS enabled by default?
If not, go to HLKM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS
Set GPSMode to 4
Also, I would find and install QuickGPS.
Give that a shot and see if it speeds up your locks
Got GPS Working on VZW XV6800
I followed all the instructions:
Installed latest Unlocker (Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe)
Installed latest Radio (Titan_Radio_3.27.00.exe )
Install DCD 2.3.1 (downloaded from this link): Size=37.16Mb
http://www.fileshex.com/download.php?file=1426af0da72a82fe758300e3980f7520
Got everything up and running. (Following directions from XDA forums)
Couldn't make a phone call. Send an SMS, or search the net on IE.
Figured out I needed to call Verizon for an A-key. (Authentication Key)
She asked why i needed it and I told her "i am doing some Windows Mobile sftware developing and had to do multiple HARD resets throughout the day). She said no prob and talked me through the A-key entry using ##778(I think its that. dont worry, CS will talk you through without hesitation.
Anyway. make sure you write the A-key down when customer service gives it to you cause its suppose to be the one assigned to your Phone number and should work every time you need to enter it. If it doesn't then just call them back and give them the same story and they will give you another A-key.
that fixed the data connection problem.
BTW: upgrading the Software deleted my Data connection password and user name.
Password is (Your 10 digit [email protected]) password is (VZW).
NOW, i am back to working conditions and DCD 2.3.1 is awesome.
Love the Iphone style SMS conversation format. Lets you view each conversation you have with a person in a straight separate list of texts. no more need to hop back and forth between Sent Box and Inbox to decipher conversations.
SO, everything works EXCEPT GPS. had all the settings right. like Location ON in Setting, Phone, Services Tab, Click on Location Settings, Get Settings, select "Location ON". Had Com 5 selected on software in external GPS settings. Hardware set to "None" 4800 Baud. Still nothing.
Google Maps keeps showing that its searching for satellites but to no avail.
Finally, came across a post about a free program called "GPS Today" Looked cool so gave it a shot.
Sure as **** it worked immediately. Got 5 satellites connected and there was the little blue dot on top of my house!!! YEEE HAAA
After a little trial and error i figured out the program.
Still i wanted Google Maps to work with GPS.
BA BA BA BAAAAAAA! I turned on Google Maps and all of a sudden it picked up 5 satellites and I was up and running.
Bottom line, I think GPS Today did something and it got Google Maps to start using GPS.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PUT UP AWESOME POSTS.
I think I might be retarded...
I did everything I think I was supposed to do, I unlocked, flashed the radio, then flashed DCD's ROM...
My screen says:
ROM Version dcd2.3.1
Radio Version 3.27.00
but, I can't get the GPS to work with TomTom6...
I tried using the GPSLauncher, AstroGPSLauncher, and QuickGPS...
Any ideas?

It will answer all your questions about GPS with Tom Tom
Everything seems to be in order now... Thanks everyone for all the advise... Now I'm going to play around and find an app that I like... I've tried TomTom (don't like it)... GoogleMaps is very basic but to be honest I'm looking for something a bit basic but functional as well which gMaps is not that functional as a GPS software plus it downloads from the net which seems to be a bit laggy... I'll find something but suggestions are welcome too...
Thanks again everyone...

When asking for help, would it be helpful to let others know what you are looking for in a GPS software? Basic but functional isn't a very good description.
TomTom6 paired with AstroGPSLauncher is a great combination. I don't have to start GMaps or other program to get the GPS going, I have GPS that doesn't have to have a data connection, for when I'm in the U.P. and there is no signal.
GoogleMaps is Basic in the sense that it is a 2D Map, which I like for use on the phone... Let's face it, this phone has a lot going on in the background besides just the GPS and Map app which to me makes it a bit slow and less responsive than normal when trying to process the graphical 3D maps... I don't need 3D mapping, virtual views or anything like that... A 2D Map is perfect... but GooleMaps lacks TTS, a decent search engine, Route recalculation, etc... which are characteristics of a good GPS unit... I like MioMaps for the fact that you can change your means of trasportation from car to bus to taxi to bike to pedestrian, etc, etc, etc... These types of options make more sence to me on a mobile device such as our phones since we could be traveling and need to switch from one means to another...
I'm going to look into MioMaps and see... but in the mean time, if anyone has other suggestions or experience with MioMaps on the Titan, your input would be greatly valued...
Keep on cookin'...

Hey... I think I remember you as "davidew98" on PPC6700users... am I right? We had all kinds of fun trying to dissect the 6700 through QPST... still have the thread bookmarked in Firefox.
I'll throw in a plug for Odyssey Mobile (http://www.infogation.com) as a navigation program that I really like. It came bundled with my Holux GPSlim 236 BT unit that I bought after I gave up on getting internal GPS to work with the 6700. The only thing it's missing that the others like TomTom have is text-to-speech... it doesn't say "Turn right on Main Street" but instead just says "Turn right in 200 feet". Other than that it does everything else really well.
And, I have had zero problems with it working with the 6800's internal GPS... just point Odyssey at COM port 4 and it just works... no launcher or "priming" required.

Nah, I had the same handle on PPC6700Users that I have here... Same name different forum... ;O) Thanks for the recommendation... I'll definitely have to check it out...
Okay, before, you will flame me for not reading the thread please here me out.
I just upgraded my 6800, so now, I have GPS, and 6.1.
The GPS works great with Google maps and live search.
I guidance is very choppy. I read through the thread about using Astrolauncher. I have no problem making the shortcuts.
My problem is widths changing the output ports. I.e. redirecting com 4 to com 2.
GPS gate costs $40, I am getting errors when I install GPSproxy.
What step am I missing?
If somebody is going to attack me for asking this question, instead of telling me to read through the forum, please direct me to the specific thread and posting. A download Link would also be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, all for your help, I couldn't have gotten this far without, you all.

Iguidance didn't run very smooth for me either so I switched to tomtom 6 and never looked back, runs perfectly smooth and recalculates instantly.

I had the same problem when I first started using iGuidance. I purchased GPSGate, which is only $19.95 for the Pocket PC, not $40, and launch it using astrolauncher and a startup MortScript script. It has been working great ever since.
Do you remember when you was young? Do you remember how fun was to ring at intercoms and then run away? Now you can do it again, just in your phone. Ring the intercoms and hear people shouting at you. But beware: someone can have a watchdog...
IF YOU HAVE FUN WITH THIS APP AND LIKE IT, CONSIDER A SMALL DONATION

Uhm... good question. Well... maybe i'm still a child inside
Totally useless, like ringing at intercoms
so does this program allow you to control the intercom anywhere? kind of like a wireless walkie talkie deal?
what does it do?
fyi - it's quite possible that like me some people won't download and install an app without an understanding as to what it does. since your description tells me virtually nothing about the app, i won't install and without an install, you likely won't receive donations.

Thanks to Daniel Webster for the review
Hey BBonzz
Some people don't have "Sense of Humour.cab" installed, can you make one to work with all resolutions ?
Cheers
will be my next app, of course
Hi Guys,
I posted this on the CM10.1 thread, but it quickly got hidden by all the other questions on the thread. I hope its ok for me to ask here in the Q&A board...
Is anyone else having issues with the satnav app Waze on their i9300 with CM10.1? For me it works fine except for the voices. The voice will be fine for part of the voice prompt, but then clip or cut out toward the end of her sentance. For example a typical voice prompt would be "at the next roundabout, take the second exit on to High Street". But on my device her voice clips out half way through, so I hear "at the next roundabout, take the ...it on to High Street".
I can still use the software to get around but looking at the screen map, but it is annoying. Anyone know what this issue might be caused by?
Thanks.
Did you manage to get this issue fixed i'm having the same issue. I have located the thread below have you tried it at all?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28948548
It is so annoying!
Sorry, I'm brand new to the forums and they confuse me, so I hope this is somewhat the right section to be posting on.
I know nothing about making apps and need help with something. In a nutshell, I just got a new car (Escape) and I has the Sync 3 system in it and it sucks, reeeeeeaaaalllly bad. It is IMPOSSIBLE to watch videos on it. There is at least a 2000ms audio delay.
I have done a lot of troubleshooting (I'm actually an audio engineer) and I have narrowed it down to the problem being the Sync 3 system.
I need someone to make me a very simple app that can introduce and take away audio latency. Say give or take 5000ms in either direction, so I can compensate. Ford has no intention of updating their Sync 3 system to correct the sync problem.
Is this possible? I will make a donation to a paypal for the work needed (If any).
I have searched quite a bit for an app that can do something so simple and I can't believe that I haven't found one at all. I have had zero luck finding one.
Thanks.

Hello.
I believe you need a simple android program that can view video and synchronize audio with video. MX Player is one of the most used video apps that has the feature you asked. See attachment. It can make audio to go over or before video, from 0.01 seconds up to infinity, with 0.01 second accuracy. It is available both free and paid in playstore.
If I understood you wrong, then please post in Q&A forum (questions and answers), here. You will have more chance to get a response there.
Good luck
