I will try with the registry. So... any idea what is causing this ? Read in this thread that maybe it happens when downloading gpsdata while TomTom was active so maybe the same thing was with iGO i am running (maybe i was using iGO when i used USB Sync)... anyway this is one theory... any other ideas?:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Earthworm:
McHales's registry settings worked for me. The only alteration I made was to the "region"="US" setting. This I altered to "UK" for obvious reasons. Not sure how important this setting is though. One word of warning; the first time I tried to download with GPSquick after a soft reset I got that damn error message again so I pulled some hair out. I tried again and it worked but by then I had a bald spot. Just in case anyone else thinks of doing the same thing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darkilici:
Ok, i have looked at my registry settings and modified next keys and now works (my money on the modification required are actualy EEFile and INIFile, cause when i put the old ones it started doing it again):

EEFile

- old value: packedEphemeris.ee

- new value: xtra.bin

INIFile

- old value: CLM_SITE_LIST_UPDATE.INI

- new value: <null> or "" - it means no value

path

- old value: don't remember this one

- new value: <null> or "" - it means no value

region

- old value: --

- new value: US

ExpiredTime

- old value: about 4000ish

- new value: 10080

Conspiracy theory disclaimer: maybe the gpsquickfix provider is switching around the 2 modes (xtra.bin versus packedEphemeris.ee+CLM_SITE_LIST_UPDATE.INI combo) so it's messing around with our Kaiser.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sean D.:
Wow, thanks. This worked perfect for me. Initially QuickGPs was working fine, last night I got the note that it's time to update, I tired, but it wouldn't work.

I just did what you said and it worked fine.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GadgetManiac:
Hi,

I've already searched the forum and there are several topics containing CAB files for original HTC applications. Anyway, I couldn't find the CAB file for installing the QuickGPS - english, only in Italian.

Does anyone knows where I can find this file, or if possible, if you could post or link it here?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] N1TeSH1FT:
Opening a Page with IE works.

Yeah, it worked for me too. I tested it right away. I turned wifi on. Checked QuickGPS and couldn't download although my activesync synced with an Exchange perfectly.

Then I started IE and went to www.google.com

Afterwards I went back to the still opened QuickGPS and hit the download button and it worked. GREAT :-)

BTW, I checked the ExpiredTime and set it from 10080 to 20160 (14 Days) just to see if the data expires.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bastienvans:
None of the suggested solutions worked for me. Quickgps kept saying "connection failed".

I found a way to make it work... go to settings - connections then connection setup. Select your country and your operator and click ok. It will soft reset.

It worked for me.

hope it helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Farsquidge:
FYI

QuickGPS is a utility to download as close as possible Ephemeris and Ionic distortion data for All GPS satellites within an approx 7 day validity.

The reason for this is when you first turn on your GPS, it takes network provider cell info for an approx location and provides location data for the three nearest sats in your area, you will see these as 3x full signals in your GPS app sat info area assisting your app and GPS to attain a quicker lock.

QuickGPS is normally set for updating everytime you connect to your PC via activesync (the PC needs to be connected to the net at the time) or by manual connection whilst an active WiFi or GPRS connection is online.

It then downloads updated information in the form of xtra.bin that is added internally to the original reference packedEphemeris.ee which is supplied on install and updates the registry with the relevant data (including validity) for when it is required.

If however there is a CRC data error on the server site you are connected to (which can happen quite often) you will recieve a download error, be certain that the server you are requesting the update from is not at fault before you blame the software.

Using QuickGPS without updating can also cause erroneous GPS operation as the last stored data (usually if over 13 days validity) can prevent your GPS app from working as it constantly sends what it thinks are the best local 3x GPS for your area preventing your app locking, latest version of QuickGPS will disable if the validity date in the registry has expired preventing this problem.

Hope this helps.

Well after trying out all the suggested options I now get the thing to connect and "download" (i.e progress bar) however after it reaches 100% and closes down the nag..it still says "Expired" and "Not yet Downloaded".... Cant believe this... I used to have this same quickgps issue with my IPAQ 6915
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Farsquidge:
Sort of cormfirms its a server problem and not SW related as it works on many other peoples units around the world. :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andrianarison:
Hello all,

I tried QuickGPS in the past based on equivalent thread discussion.

I never managed it to work like some of you here. Hope somebody will find the root cause
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Farsquidge:
Just a quick thought, have you got 'Use Proxy' disabled in connection settings?

If not, try disabling it for GPRS connections.

Also if it fails via Activesync, check your ISP to see if you are through a proxy with them and if they allow SNTP protocol. Quite a few people will also see problems with their Windows PC unable to update its internal clock as it uses NTP and some ISP's block this. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mihyes:
OK, this is beyond silly. Those scientists at HTC can't make a simple program (one with the only task to download files) right! (I won't even mention slow graphic operations). No wonder iPhone is kicking butt. Don't get me wrong, I own a Kaiser, but the silliness of problems with Kaiser is worrysome.

reinstall QiockGPS.cab

Worked for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joshua362:
BINGO, worked for me. Just starting an internet connection (WiFi) alone won't do it but open IE first and go somewhere and now it works!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hornady708:
I believe it might have something to do with AutoClean that comes with SKtools. After I ran it, QuickGPS no longer has worked. Does anybody know what this program actually does?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Farsquidge:
I'm sorry, I don't want to sound nasty but that is a beaut!!:D

You ran an app that you don't know what it does:confused:

My sides are splitting. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] London luke:
what happens after the trial period??? do i have to do a one off payment etc ??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrBazUK:
How I fixed mine... UK

Having tried a number of cabs and registry settings posted here I found none of them worked. :(

My solution which worked.. :) :

1) Preform a full backup using Sprite Backup (Latest build)

2) HARD reset

3) Allow customisation to complete

4) Install Resco registry editor

5) Backup the HKLM/Software/HTC/QuickGPS registry (saved on Memory card)

6) Use the self extracting backup made with Sprite to restore to the prevously 'non-working' state (BUT WITH ALL SOFTWARE INSTALLED).

7) Open the saved registry settings from step 5

Quick GPS now works and more importantly - it gets 7 days worth of locations!

To allow other UK peeps to skip to step 7, I have uploaded the registry .reg file for you to try (renamed to QuickGPS.reg.TXT). It only contains HKLM/Software/HTC/QuickGPS

Please let me know if it works for you too! If not, the steps above will get you back on track quick enough :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hornady708:
Actually I do know what it does. It cleans up the temp folder, however what I didn't know was what this had to do with QuickGPS. It doesn't matter now though. I got it to work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smuook:
I have SKTools and use the autoclean function.

Quick GPS will download with a 3g connection for me but NOT WiFi.

This is not just a Quick GPS problem, as I've experienced this with other programs
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fwadi:
:) You are a genius thanks a million .......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ladytoast:
Very very cool - nice work MrBazUK

worked for me too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iservealot:
Just a little FYI that probably will not help anyone, but the only way I can get QuickGPS to work is via the wap connection. I cannot get it to download via wifi.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gaz_az:
Worked for me :) THANKS !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emy_77:
Yeah, QuickGPs.reg by MrBazUK also worked for me. Caution! Make sure you kill the QuickGPS app first before importing the registry. I tried with the QuickGPS

running in background & it didn't work.

One question. Do we have to import this reistry everytime it expired? Is there a long term fix?

tq
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrBazUK:
QuickGPS.reg

You should only need to install the REG keys when the application fails to download / updata again. I had my Kaiser since the day the were released in the UK and it took months to stop working... I suspect it was a customisation tool that broke it.

Just keey the reg key handy and re-use as and when required!

Good to know it has helped others. Maybe we can build this into a CAB for those that dont have a registy editor etc.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zagonielod:
I have exactly the same problem on my Cruise :( . Exactly as you wrote. at the beginning it worked perfectly and than just stopped.... unfortunately I am not an expert so I can't fix this. maybe somebody will make it for us:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mystic_nacho:
A cab file would be great. It would be much easier for everyone to click a cab file sitting in some folder on their device everytime the app failed then to go redo your registry. QuickGPS would almost not be a hastle then. Almost.

Could someone put a .cab together?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rsolomon:
Ummm, if you load a registry editor and associate .REG files to it then you have that functionality today - and unlike a .CAB file, you can edit the file with a text editor and KNOW what it's going to do.

Richard
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrbandwidth:
My crappy "solution" (as some of us have *very* different values in the registry than UK ones by MrBazUK):

1. Start QuickGPS.

2. Retry downloading until a 100% is reached (though it raises the error finally)

3. Stop QuickGPS

4. Go to \temp folder

5. Copy following files to \Windows folder:

packedEphemeris.ee (maybe you'll see a file named xtra.bin instead)

CLM_SITE_LIST_UPDATE.INI

6. Start QuickGPS. You'll see valid data for 2 days 23h.

Far from a real fix, I know, but still...

Mr B
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mystic_nacho:
Actually, I just noticed that Chainfire's latest version of KaiserTweak includes a GPS fix, and it works just fine now for me!

See the sticky to get it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
When I was having issues with the .cab file I created, I focused my attention on getting it working with KaiserTweak. I will 100% guarentee that the GuickGPS fix in KaiserTweak works. It puts the registry exactly as it would be after a hard reset which used to be the only way to fix QuickGPS.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] look9001:
Does anyone know what the relevance of the region setting is

"region"="US"

I am in the UK but mine is set to US, should I change it?

I am having trouble getting a fix with my kaiser. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes to get a fix, sometimes it never does. I am using GPS test utility to try to get a fix, usually it can see 10-12 satellites, but still no fix! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vaakuna:
Thanks, it work for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anoyceperson:
Thanks guys that last fix has made my Quick GPS work a treat!

I think it worked for about a day after I first got the phone, and then shortly after that it just stopped and refused to sync again.

Once again thanks a lot, all working fantastically.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sscywong:
It works for me~!

Thanks~!!

Yet seems the GPS function doesn't come back with the fixure of QuickGPS...

I had quickGPS on my 6700 and it worked without any problems; not the case with the 6900. Can anyone with a working program post your reg. settings?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Antonic54:
SH4YD33, albeys,

I am very new with TyTN II and with PDA in general and, of course, QuickGPS doesn't work!

May you explain, step by step, how must I use your file?

I imagine:

1) download the file

2) unzip in a known folder

3) connect the TyTN II to the PC (via USB or Bluetooth or WiFi)

then????

4) ...

Thanks a lot in advance from Italy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Greg220:
The fixed QuickGPS has been working fine for me for a few months. However, recently I noticed that it takes a very long time for the navigation software to get a satellite fix, despite the fact that QuickGPS has current data.

Previously it took only about 30 seconds to get a fix. Nowadays it takes 3-7 minutes. Any ideas which settings or registry entries I should check?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danieliew:
SH4YD33, thanks a million for the fix! It made my day!

As for the procedures to install the .cab file, just connect your TyTN II to the PC, copy the file you downloaded (no need to unzip) to your TyTN II, locate and run it! That's all.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Antonic54:
File .cab installed with success. Launched QuickGPS but same story ..download 100% ...no connection:confused:

Not for me - it downloads but still says "Connection failed, try again later".

This is after a hard reboot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JC#79:
Worked for me thanks, does anyone know why this occurs or is it just an error due to the settings changing over time?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lugaburuga:
Whoo hoo. Finally done it. Used SH4's fix cab. Then soft reset. Then opened internet explorer visited a few sites and then tried quick GPS.

thanks to everybody

Alternative software

I've just switched to a Kaiser, having had a Wizard, Artemis and then Elf. I alwyas had ahssle with quickgps, until I found this alternative... install it to your device, and use it instead of quickgps (disable all quickgps auto stuff) - works like a dream...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JC#79:
Ok this stopped working after a few days & reinstalling has not helped either so although it did fix the issue it was not a permanent fix. Can anyone help resolve this issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rajmagi:
so how do we know that quick gps data is being used????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fagotistas:
SH4YD33 Yoy are the man! Worked fine in my HTC Touch Cruise and solved a really annoying problem!

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tilted1:
I have tried the cab on page 9

and KaiserTweaks, still will not connect :confused:

Is there another fix on this site?

I'm trying./. searching.. can't believe this issue has gone on for so long!! :confused::eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sayunnz:
Quick gps

Mate, I was in the same state as you are. You have to soft reset kaiser after installing. You dont even have to visit any website. After the reset, just click download and it works like a charm for me after spending 4 hours on this ******* quickgps.

THANKS GUYS!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sys50000:
Try this.

I also got stuck with GPS after playing around in the registry. Quickgps didn't update anymore (connection failed) and no glimps of a satelite anymore. Reinstalling Quickgps didn't help. A hard reset helped, but after and full restore the problem was also restored. So I was already fearing that I had to hard reset and then reinstall all software and settings again.

My last thing to try was, in Configuration/External GPS to untick the tick for GPS automatic control (to manual), softreset. Tick the tick back to automatic, softreset. And there it was again, and the signal looks even stronger then before. But that might be imagination.

Maybe it helps you too. Success.

Oh, and don't have GPSGate start at soft reset. Try it clean first.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lkt_511:
I installed SH4YD33.

It really work!!! THANKS a lot !!!!

I just download it, and put it in my device and run it.

Afterthat, i syn it and click download in the Quickgps.

100% OK!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] asofiker:
I always have to stop my data connection before using QuickGPS. SO when I click download my phone then automatically reconnects the data connection Every time I do this, it works just fine. Otherwise I get a connection error. I guess it must not like a stale data connection, IT WANTS A FRESH ONE!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nirmalts:
QuickGPS works fine, but no fast lock

Hello,

QuickGPS has been working for me always and it remains updated. But I can never get a fix when I am indoor (or even near a window) or in a moving car. Under a clear sky and if I am stationary, I get a lock in little more than a min (this is after trying out lot of radios and settling down with Kaiser eMonster radio).

I deleted xtra.bin from \Temp and \Windows (I don't have packedEphemeris.ee). The lock time remains the same as when I do with them.

From what I understand, the xtra.bin will contain information for atleast 3 of my nearby satellites. If I open up GPSTest tool (cold start) should I not see 3 satellites in view? In my case, no satellites appear immediately when I open GPStest. Then under a min 10-11 satellite appears and it finally locks.

Either the QuickGPS data is not used by my GPS applications or the data downloaded doesnt have information for my location (India). I tried changing the region in registry to my location, but still no change.

I read about people getting locks in 30 secs and also indoors.

I searched for this, but did not get any information. Any help would be appreciated
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Flying Kiwi:
WM 6.0 generally better for GPS with TyTN II than WM 6.1

I've only ever gone the official HTC ROM way but none of the WM 6.1 ROMs they've released so far come anywhere near the GPS performance levels that the WM 6.0 ROMs do. I had my WM 6.1 TyTN II reverted from WM 6.1 back to WM 6.0 by HTC under warranty for free and I haven't looked back. I get a cold fix inside within about 30 seconds and warm fixes are nearly instantaneous after the GPS driver loads and the hardware is initialised.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jpold:
Thanks for the file.

The SH4YD33 cab file did not work for me at first. But then I turned off the GPS hack in Kaiser Tweak and, QuickGPS started working immediately.

I installed the cab but stil the same connection failed message.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arabbitte:
I've had my Kaiser now for nearly a year and a half and have never had any problems with Quickgps - until 2 weeks ago ...

My Quickgps stopped working but to be honest that was the least of my worries. Every time I plugged the phone in to my work-laptop, my network account was locked out.

This was driving me nuts - couldn't charge or sync my phone at work. The admin at work wasn't too impressed either. He suggested something on my phone was repeatedly attempting logins and this was locking out my account. I couldn't figure out what this was.

So, I tried the following:

Changed a recently added profile to my MS Outlook to be my default (in case activesync couldn't figure it out)

Removed Activesync on the PC and reinstalled it

Deleted the activesync pc profile on my phone (this zapping all synced data) and then resynced

Repeated the above and deleted the pim.vol file before starting the resync

All, to no avail.

Not having much luck with my real problem, I thought I'd try to get my Quickgps to work. I looked here and tried the kaisertweak setting. No go. I then decided to download the cab fix but that didn't work either. I saw a setting in Quickgps for downloading the settings via activesync. It was ticked. Now this never worked (I always downloaded my Quickgps data over the internet) but maybe this was the thing that was causing my network account to lock out: Quickgps not working, coinciding with the account problem, mmmhhhhh ...

I tried the cab fix for Quickgps a few times without sucess. Then I noticed that this set the activesync flag. I tried it again, unticked the flag, and then tried the "connect to multiple sites with IE" trick. My Quickgps was now no longer giving the cannot connect error anymore. But what about the account lockout. Was a combination of Quickgps working and the unticked box going to solve my problem?

It worked!

Infact, either would fix my account lockout problem.

Thanks to all who contributed to this forum!
