Alternative to Port Splitter and GPSGate

Is anyboby testing the following program, for using TomTom??

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=139292

It has been reported to work fine without the need of resetting, set port every time and missing button:

PDA: COM 8, com9 e baud 4800:

Sourceforge:

Menù -- Extensions...

Delete in Extensions "Garmin Protocol Output"

NMEA Input -- Configure

GPS COM Port: COM8

Select "Mirror GPS To Output Port"

Output port: COM1:

Tap OK

Go back to menu and select Virtual COM Ports:

Add COM1:

Hit start

TOMTOM

Other GPS NMEA

Baud 4800

GPSProxy Virtual COM port

It would be nice to have a feed back from you all.....

I cant understand why the direct link does not work.......

Any way go to http://sourceforge.net, search for "gpsproxy" and you'll find what I mean!!

Sorry about that.

To unlock the GPS for free use (without any other program):

This problem is solved once the phone is upgraded to the Italian Radio Phone version.

(only update the radio version).

Check this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=384619&highlight=i780+radio

Just select the Software port to COM1, then any gps software will detect it,

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mic_888:
Thanks, I tried the link but it didn't work... I also phoned Samsung UK and T-mobile who were unable to help. Samsung suggested that I speak to someone at Google re googlemaps(!) and also said that I shouldn't need to do anything with the External GPS settings in the system menu since the phone has internal GPS(!).

I think I'm just going to have to flash the radio as this seems to have solved some other peoples problems with the GPS.

Thanks for your help :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mic_888:
Thanks will try this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vittogn:
I tested the solution and it works perfectly!!! No delay in answering, no missing button, fast fix.....

The only cons is that GPSProxy can not be killed with the task manager, you need first to stop it and then close.....otherwise the next time it will not recognise the selected com port.

It would be wonderfull to have a script that if GPSProxy is running, it kills TomTom, then stop GPSProxy and then kill GPSProxy itself.

Unlocking of Samsung GPS

Hi all,

I owned a Samsung i780, you can run Garmin Mobile XT on the unit without GPSgate. The version I've have does not the GPS Software bundled here in Malaysia, however I've download Samsung Mobile Navigator by Garmin.

after the 15 days trial, you can actually unlock the software (any Garmin Mobile XT version), new to this forum and wouldn't want to discuss how to do it openly, I am not sure the forum rule here. Some does not allow member to discuss cr**king software.

if you google how to unlock Garmin Mobile XT, there are hips of discussion out there that teach you how to unlock them. or pm, i will send instruction (FOC)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mic_888:
I flashed the italian phone part then hard reset but still no joy on the GPS front. I even tried all the listen ports keeping the hardware port on COM9 with baud 4800. :(

Garmin searched for satellites then gives up and says 'GPS is off'. ???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mic_888:
Ok finally my GPS is working!!!! (With googlemaps). In the end I had to flash the PDA too.

Now my PDA is version i780DXHA1 and my phone is version i780XIHA7.

Of course this means that I have got rid of all the horible Orange branding :)

Thanks to everyone that helped me :)

I could not get google maps to work all the time but livesearch worked right out of the box and I noticed that the street maps are more detailed that those provided by google.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Joezhang:
I thought i'd try the orange one just to see what it's like... but they don't supply a serial number so it's impossible to do the 7 day trial? :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Joezhang:
ok - the only way I can get google maps to work is with gpsgate, nothing else does it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mic_888:
googlemaps should work on it's own - I flashed the new ROM that Nadavi posted and my googlemaps still works on it's own as it did before. It takes a couple of seconds for it to detect satellites - even from my balcony!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Joezhang:
couldn't do that with the standard orange rom - and I'm not flashing a phone that's covered for twelve months (because if I decide I don't like it - I'll bounce it off a pavement and get my "free" replacement).

It just would not pick up satellites without GPSgate on googlemaps - even then it's flaky, sometimes you get 6 sats in seconds, other times you might as well wave your %£% at the sky.

Getting GPS working on Orange Samsung i780

Got it working - went to

http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-standard-news/262074/samsung-blackjack-ii-gps-activated/

and downloaded the CAB file in the first post - copied it to the phone and installed it. Then went into my GPS tracking program and set the GPS COM port to COM 4 (Baud rate of 57000).

Picks up lots of satellites - have not tried it with driving sat nav system yet!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alsop:
Because I wanted GPS I got my i780 from Orange UK last week and I have tried every combination seen in this thread. I run TomTom 6 and the best I get is to see 8 or more greyed out satellites and the bar graph levels all greyed out at 0 level (They should go blue an indicate a strength when they are valid signals). I have tried every COM port, the above modaco.com com4 fix, setting the baud rate to every value and still cannot get an actual fix, despite repeatedly standing in the open for what seems like hours.

The satellite bar levels remain unfixed at 0 level.

Has anyone recently got an i780 from Orange and had any success with TomTom 6. If so, could you please show me a list of the settings including the obvious as I must be missing something here, or it this GPS hardware totally blocked by Orange.

Many thanks in advance to you on this forum,

ASK GPS SAMSUNG i780

Hey, I'm still newbie in this forum. I buy samsung i780 for 1 week now. Great phone but trouble when locked GPS. I used Garmin XT mobile.

I used com port 1 for porgram setting, com port 9 for the hardware and baud rate 4800.

Garmin will lock the sattelite for 10-15 minutes time, this is still fine, but when comes to calculate or recalculating the route it takes for 2-3 minutes. This annoyed me so much. Can anybody help me with this issue or Samsung is not compatible with Garmin XT ? Its too slow. Thx
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stefanopolis:
Hi I never Have problem with GPS, only think i change is in External GPS-Program port to COM8.....and it works :-)

I use Igo 8..and sometimes it takes to 2 minutes to show satelites,if you use Enhanced GPS it will takes much less time.

Good luck.

Stefan,

Thx for replying, i've tried the com port 8, but com port 1 i faster when lock the satellite but when it comes to calculating the route, it really sucks take around 2-3 minutes, and usually I've already arrive in the destination :( Do u have the same problem ? Or is it just the bug from i780 ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] robincop deel 2:
This is what I did to get the GPS working without any additional software using TT 7.

1. Flashed the Russion ROM with includes the 3 components (PDA + PHONE + BOOT)

See another thread on upgrading the I780 to WM 6.1 on how to do this.

2. Flashed the UK (PDA only) rom

3. Tried TT 7 and other GPS programs again. Sh.t, bad, crap. No or limited signal, no fix.

4. Found the Radio part of the latest Italian ROM and flashed that one.

5. Tried all GPS programs again. Again no luck.

6. Performed a hard reset (using the software on the phone)

7. Installed TT 7 again. > FIX within no time!

I now have:

PDA: i780DXHE1

PHONE: i780XIHA7

I have not tested any of the other functionality like BT and WIFI.

3G does seem to work OK (also HSDPA).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

this is my first post on this site... so do not know if the act is done proper and with the right decorum

I have been trying to get rid of the "navigator is not installed" from my samsung i780. Tried almost all options (known to me) to get rid of it. I have installed google maps and it is running perfectly fine.... From the settings menu when I try to connect to GPS, it says "make the phone see the sky etc..."

Can some one help me configure the GPS properly and also get rid of the message "navigator is not installed"?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DVT26:
I do not understand why so many people are having probs with i780GPS.....

I purchased mine in India...

The fact is i780 does not come with locked GPS; it simply doesn't come with any software.

I had installed earlier version of Google maps-it used to take 2 to 5 minutes to lock a satellite and that too in open area.

Now I'm using version 2.3.0.9

It hardly takes few seconds to lock satellites.

My suggestion: hard reset and then install Google maps(latest version)....

Apart from not properly supporting some 3rd party s'ware and lack of FM i780 is an absolute value for money and once you get used to the finger mouse u'll not take the stylus out!!

By the way I'm using i780DDHC4 version

i780 GPS not lock and does,t need AGPS to help for satellite lock.

Just wait and put the phone on your car and don't touch it until it lock, after it lock you can do what you want with it.

and try it on a clear sky w/o any trees or building if possible.

I hope this can help, cause all the setting already correct.

Samsung I780 best navigation software

I have been using I780 for almost 1 year. All the while been using mapking 2007 with gpsgate. It works perfectly, but you need the right setting in Gpsgate. However, lately I hv tried the garmin XT mobile. It is even more fantastic. No need gpsgate, it works all by itself( without even have to change the setting.). You guy out there should try garmin if you want an easy gps navigation tool. Moreover, i prefer Garmin more than mapking now, largely due to the easier installation, ease of use and better map detail in garmin compared to mapking. I like the big icon of garmin, make it very handy when u are using it while driving. Go download it and try it.

Hi,

I am using samsung i780 and have installed Garmin mobile XT. My internal GPS devices after starting, searches for satellites and after finding satellites, GPS device automatically turns-off.

My GPS appears to be locked. It works with garmin xt or via portsplitter but not otherwise. I have a copy of the italian rom XIHA7_IT split into three parts.

So should I just start mirage and tell it to flash the italian phone.bin? Can I do this on its own without doing russian roms first? Will I be ok for the UK and will it wipe any of my settings?

Hi all,

I'm an idiot.

I dropped my 6P and totally destroyed the screen. Occasionally I get some small amount of display but definitely no touch response. Everything else seems to be working as far as I can tell.

I'd like to recover some data and then wipe it.

The phone is running rooted stock (June Update) with TWRP, USB Debugging is enabled, the device isn't encrypted.

Theoretically, I'd just connect with ADB and pull what I wanted and then use Android Device Manager to do a remote wipe.

However, as specified above, I'm an idiot. I also broke my laptop, so I can't connect with ADB as I can't approve the new RSA key for another computer.

I suspect that there must be some magical bootloader / recovery / fastboot magical kind of workaround I could use to pull some data but I'm working blind, and when you're as much of an idiot as I feel after the last few days (did I mention that I also crashed my car) then working blind isn't easy.

Could anyone help me out with some instructions? Obviously bearing in mind that I have no display.

Hey guys,

I recently flashed CM13 (cm-13.0-20161203 - ivanich) to my HTC Sensation 4G. After a few tweaks to get Opengapps working, the ROM has been running pretty well. However the SIM card isn't being recognized so the phone isn't getting any cell service. Everything is greyed out under the 'Mobile network settings' section and the 'preferred network type' says "Invalid Network Mode (-1). Ignore." This SIM card worked just fine before I flashed CM13; the phone was running the stock ICS version at the time.

The phone itself is a US T-Mobile version of the HTC Sensation 4G but has been unlocked to work currently in the UK (O2 network), I'm hoping this isn't part of the issue. I've had a search through these forums (and googled) but haven't been able to find any solutions. Relevant posts/comments are pretty sparse to begin with for this problem.

Anyone have any advice on how to get the SIM card, and subsequently the network service, working? I've tried reflashing the ROM a few times but to no effect. Stats are given below.
