Hi TalynOne,

Thank you very much for the modified QuickGPS (and this great tutorial). It is working well for me.

Sorry if this has already been done - I did not read thru the entire thread - I have updated the original .cab to include your modified exe and registry. I have attached to this post. Do you mind if I include this in my ROMs?

Thanks again man, great work.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] LoTekJunky:
Just thought I would post my results after testing the cab dcd put up.

My external BT receiver would get a fix in about 90 seconds. Yesterday, I drove for 15 minutes in my car with my mogul and internal GPS and it never got a fix... VisualGPSce would see several sats, but never locked on.

After installing the cab, downloading the sync info and performing a soft reset, Google Maps got a sync in 72 seconds.

Simply amazing.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TalynOne:
Of course I wouldn't have any issues with you including it in your ROMS. Next update of the FAQ will link to this CAB file, should make installation much easier for some, thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zekeman:
I have been very unsucessful in getting my GPS to work. I have tried everything the guide suggested, even a hard reset. All my settings are correct, and I cant seem to get a lock. Everyime i use the ##33284# and goto GPS i get all N/A's. I even reinstalled the rom again... Any tips?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Splitter:
yoy

I flashed my phone to 2.1 last night.. everything works great.. except the GPS.

When I launch the google maps GPS software and click "use GPS", it sits and seeks.. and does nothing else.

I looked at the tutorial, and I have the phone setup for location vice 911, I have the software using com4, no hardware port, and 4800baud, and automatic yada yada yada.... in the google software, I have auto selected.

I d/l'd the TitanQuickGPS cab, installed it, and downloaded the updates. I again tried to sync up, no joy.

What am I doing wrong? BTW, I've soft booted several times....

I thought the GPS stuff was easy!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Splitter:
for crap sake

Okay, I've d/l'd Nav4All, MS Live Search, and Google Maps... none of them seem to want to work with my phone.

Nav4All is too freaking slow to be bothered with, I now know why it is free.

Google Maps sits there searching for satelites... and sits there.

MS Live Search lets me put my city in, but will not center on my position.

I'm stumped. GPS was the only reason I went through the trouble of this flash.

Any hints? Anyone?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blazingwolf:
How long have you waited for a fix? The first one can take awhile, up to 30 minutes for some.

Are you in an area with good visibility for satalites?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] inothome:
You are outside while trying all this, correct? I can't establish fix in the house. Once I get a good fix outside then it will work in the house. The Titan Quick GPS really helped me get a quick fix.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kams01:
I am having problems with GPS Gate... I have both tomtom and inav 4. tomtom is working just fine but i wanted to see if inav would work. however gpsgate keeps saying error from com4. so i am going to try to use gps proxy and see if it works..

anyone know where i can learn how to make scripts so that i can run everything with one touch?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TalynOne:
You can ignore the "can't open" error with GpsGate, it's because GpsGate doesn't start the internal GPS, but once you start iGuidance through Astro's launcher it won't have an error. I've included a MortScript to automate the launching of GpsGate & iGudiance in one tap. In the script file is a link to download Mortscript, it's a free scripting language you use to create your own scripts if you like, the manual on is on the web page.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] slyfox7:
I am using dcd 2.1.0 rom on vzw with the xv6800. My GPS is working fine with Garmin XT.

Here is what I did

1. Download A- Garmin Mobile XT for Pocket PC with GPS 10 software version 4.10.01w Beta as of April 30, 2007 from

http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3413

2. Download B - Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile software version 4.10.40w as of October 12, 2007 from

http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3389

3. Remove any previous garmin installations completely from your ppc.

4. From PC install A to ppc and DO NOT install or run on ppc when a window appears to do so.

5. From PC install B to ppc and install and run when window appears on ppc. When program runs , it will start looking for gps device. Cancel it, go to Settings then to About and write down your 10 digit Device ID.

6. Run Garmin Unlock Generator v1.3 by JetMouseon your PC. (Search on google for it). Then put your device id and generate SW key and Map Key ( Garmin city navigator nt 2008 ).

7. Open note pad. Copy and past both keys one by one and save them as SW.UNL and GMAPSUPP.UNL.

This is a critical point. In your windows explorer uncheck HIDE FILE EXTENSIONS. NOW MAKE SURE THAT BOTH FILES DO NOT HAVE txt EXTENSION AT THE END. THEY HAVE TO BE UNL FILES.

8. Transfer these UNL files to your ppc in Garmin folder.

9. Now run Garmin from your ppc, it should be able to detect your GPS now. You do not have to be outside at this point.

Installing the Maps.

1. Download Garmin City Navigator North America NT 2008 from wherever you can find it. Install on your computer and run. It will ask for the unlock code, put GNG55-L8WSA-S7YET-9U246-GJFQT.

2. Use Mapsource (download the latest version from http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=209)to install all the maps, waypoint, etc to your device! Follow the install info from Garmins site. The update needs to be installed while in the original Garmin folder. It should detect "Garmin Mobile XT". If not, try soft-reseting and re-inserting you card!

I am using the AstroGPSLauncher for opening the GPS port. Everything works, including premium content (weather, gas prices, etc)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Splitter:
Okay, I'll try that... outside. Good sat coverage in my area btw.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] inothome:
Give it a few minutes with a clear view of the sky. As far as good coverage, the sats are constantly moving, so barring dense trees or tall buildings anywhere in the world has good coverage. It's not like the sats for sat TV, they are in geosynchronous orbit with the earth, so they stay in the same position in the sky.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kams01:
Thanks for the info... i think ill give it a shot

Now next question would be:

I tried to go back to the official 2.17 ROM because the 3.16 update is unstable with some of my software, especially one with my corp stuff, but it reboots @ 1% and gives me an error: "ERROR [328]: Invalid Command, this update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility. "

What do I do now? How can I go back to 2.17?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] quantumforce1:
Sorry your experience was not good.

There are 'basically' three parts to the software that runs your phone.

1. There is the SPL / bootloader.

2. There is the Radio ROM.

3. There is the System ROM.

All three must line up correctly.

1. If you are using code prior to 3.16 then you need either have the following SPLs:

>>>a. The ReLocker 1.06 SPL if running official carrier released code

>>>b. The unLocker (original) 1.20 if running custom built roms

2. If you are using 3.16+ code then you need either:

>>>a. The reLocker if upgrading to the unofficial carrier released rom

>>>b. the unLocker (new) 2.40 if running custom built roms

If returning to 2.17 Official Carrier Released Rom from a 3.16+ build:

**Make sure you have your MSID/MDN/EPST codes**

1. Download your carriers official released 2.17 ROM

2. >>>a. run the relocker (as you are running this, make sure you follow the on-screen directions fully -- read carefully!)

(don't worry about getting out of the bootloader - tri-color screen)

3. Install your carriers official released 2.17 ROM

That's it. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kams01:
thanks for the quick response, but the link for the file you provided is broken

also to make sure i get this right, i download the file, and run it on my phone when its in regular operation mode... if not, how do i get to the boatloader mode and run that file?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] quantumforce1:
The link has been fixed.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jorge_culv:
Actually, I don't think you're using the latest version of Live Search which gives 2 of the 3 featuers you want (released maybe 1 month ago). While it doesn't give you voice prompts, it now has three audio prompts (kinda like reminder tones) about 0.1 mi before a turn, just before the turn, then a final one when you make the correct turn. If you stray too far off, it asks about re-routing as well. Check out the latest here:

does this work for sprint?? where is the device ID? i look in setting/about...bout that is something I assigned to my phone (e.g my name or something)....can i just used my phone number???
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TLZero:
I have Gpsgate installed, but don't have the option to set Com4 as the input port. I have disabled all of the windows settings related to GPS and soft reset, but I show no com4 to choose from. Thoughts?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TalynOne:
You shouldn't disable any windows settings related to GPS, they should be set exactly as stated in the beginning of the FAQ. Also GpsGate is only needed for iGuidance, if you're not using iGuidance you don't need GpsGate.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TalynOne:
1.) Yes this will work with Sprint and any other provider.

2.) This is the wrong place to discuss this, he's posted information that relies on cracking software, this is not the place to discuss such things. If you want more information/discussion on this topic visit the link in my FAQ concerning Garmin XT.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TLZero:
My settings were as outlined. I was running GPS fine through Live Search and Google Maps. I tried iGuidance and had the same symptoms as everyone else. This is when I looked into GpsGate and the AstroGPSLauncher utility. When Com4 was unavailable then I started fooling with the settings. The bottom line is I have the Com4 option available now and the only thing I can think of is that I had set iGuidance as 'exclusive' in the HTC task manager. Maybe this was the issue or maybe the multiple resets got it working again. Now that I have GpsGate working I will re-read your post and see if I can set up this utility. Thanks for the feedback.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] slyfox7:
I should work for Sprint. The settings/about is in the Garmin XT app.

GPS working, but SLOW (hours)to lock

I've got the Alltel HTC 6800 and got the GPS chip enabled thanks to dcd.

I have the dcd 2.2.0 rom

I have the 3.27 radio.

The GPS is responding with data messages using GPS viewer, but I never got a lock until I left the phone overnight, but never got a lock again, even running GPS viewer the entire next day.

I've read through these excellent forums ad-nauseam, but have found no way to fix this.

Tried:

Toggling location setting as per instructions in previous post

Google maps (lock 1 time when left overnight)

Quick GPS (successful update, no errors)

Played with com port and speed settings

Soft resets

Upgraded from dcd 2.1 to 2.2 (worthwhile, regardless)

Dialed# whatever to look at the GPS, and it does have readings.

PS Kudos to all the wonderful contributors to this forum--this is what the Internet was invented (by Gore) for!!

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] inothome:
You have to have the phone outside 95% of the time to get a lock. Once it gets a lock it will work indoors depending on the building construction. Make sure there is a clear view of the sky as well.

So has anyone gotten GPS2Blue to work? I can't find a way to set up an incoming com port, so it looks like I'm out of luck. Am I just going to have to buy GPSGate?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] WildSioux:
A quick question...Is this Garmin Mobile XT installed to the SD card or the internal memory? Because I now have a Garmin folder on my internal memory as well as on my SD card. I am confused???
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bimmerd00d:
Got it working on mine yesterday. Setup outgoing port on Phone, setup com port on laptop, point your GPS app on laptop to that com port. Change GPS2Blue GPS port to Com4, and BT port to your port that you created on the Titan. i had to cycle my BT before this would work.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] webdude12:
Ok, after some playing...

Anyone that would like to have A-GPS edit this reg key:

HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPLAGPS/

GPSMode --> Change to 4 (orginal value 2)

I have verified this with Sprint Navigator, google maps, live maps, yahoo go.

All give me a fast gps track inside my house. As well stop working when I turn off the phone.

Trouble getting a lock

thanks for the suggestion, but I read all the posts up till here and tried everything--I tried inside, outside, all day in my car, upside down, and with the phone sticking out of my left ear--same issue.

My only success in getting a lock in less than 3+ hours is when I am 70 miles north in Tampa florida. This seems to be an issue in the Sarasota/Bradenton Florida area. I got a lock 3 times, each in less than 45 seconds. Anyone else experiencing this?

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] xdalurk:
I upgraded to the leaked ROM from 2.17.651.0 on 2/1 and all seems to be working well.

GPS: I'd been using Mapopolis (no longer commercially available) with an external BT GPS reciever until now. That software works just fine with the internal GPS. Relatively quick satellite acquisition in the car (< 1 min.), stays right on the road even with 'lock to road' disabled. Don't experience any dropouts, and can turn phone off for a period of time (several minutes) and then wake it up and it will reacquire current fix almost instantaneously.

BT: I use it daily for a 20 minute commute and have made/recieved maybe 20 calls with it since 2/1. Haven't had any problems (using my car's internal BT hands-free system).

Everything else seems fine too. When I first flashed the ROM it didn't want to lock onto Sprint towers for a while, prefering to roam. After doing an IOTA, upgrading to the current PRL (60611 from http://www.corolada.com/prl/), and the passage of time (about an hour) that oddness went away (don't know if that's causal, or coincidence).

my gps is still not working with google maps or live search, it worked once or twice before, but i cant get it to work, it just wont find my location???
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] webdude12:
I dont have any 100% proof. I just know this...

With the registry change. I get GPS location inside my house. Even when initialized inside a closet. Also when the cellular service is turned off. I loose my track...

So just makes sense with no view of the sky, and without cellular service, this is A-GPS
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sykosoft:
The solution which worked for me was to utilize the quickgps software. Now locks occur for me within 10 seconds, even inside my house (not kidding).

Previous to this, locks would take a REALLY long time.

Have you tried the quickgps software?

Thanks,

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Soundy106:
^Hey, I have the QuickGPS loaded but I can never get it to work... Sometimes it will run the progress bar to 100%, sometimes not, but every time, it fails with a "Connection failed. Please try again." I've tried all the suggested registry tweaks to different sites, I've tried removing and reinstalling... no joy. I know I have a working internet connection - I've tried it with EVDO, WiFi, and when connected through ActiveSync... nothing.

Anyone got any ideas??

Did you follow these instructions: http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2BlueFAQ.html#USB

You have to use the HW VSP software to create the port on your computer.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Soundy106:
You want to set up an OUTGOING com port on your phone.

Go to Comm Manager -> Settings -> Bluetooth.

First, make sure your phone is paired with your PC, and you have the Serial Port service selected under Partnership Connections for the PC.

Then go to the COM Ports tab, tap New Outgoing Port, select your PC from the device list, tap Next, and select an unused port (NOT your GPS port - I used COM8), and tap Finish. You should now see "computername (COM8)".

NOW run GPS2Blue, select your GPS com port (it's COM5 on mine, should be COM4 on most), check the BT box, and set the BT port to whatever you selected above (COM8 in my case) and tap the ON button.

On my phone, in GPS2Blue, I see:

GPS2Blue V. 1.8 by Paludour

(license info)

GID port: COM5:

Bluetooth is ON, port opened

Bluetooth port connected!

GPS Port opened. Processing data...

When you installed your PC's bluetooth adapter, it should have created a serial port (or two - my Blue Soleil adapter set up COM5 and COM6). When you paired your phone, it should have already asked you to connect to one of those serial ports. Fire up your software on the PC and point it at the port, and you should be rockin'.

I can now fire up Streets & Trips 2007, go to the GPS Pane, click Configure GPS, select the desired PC bluetooth serial port (COM5 on mine, nothing to do with the GPS port on the phone), click "Start GPS Tracking" and within seconds it jumps to my current position.

How to get MGMaps working

Could any one of you geniuses have a minute to answer my questions above about mgmaps. I was able to install any of the "unsigned" jad files, and I was able to get some kind of reading under an app called "compass" in mgmaps. But when navigate to the map section of mgmaps, and select "center on gps" nothing happens, no reading, and I've tried the waiting game, but still nothing. I've used the HTC quick gps, and it works well in receiving gps status quickly proven by ms live search, but when I go to mg maps, NOTHING. I am using the right jave midlet that came with the original leak rom, and using DCD 2.2.6 rom.

Hours to get a GPS lock

It appears there is still a select few not getting GPS locks. We need to find out what the commonalities are (other than the odd person who missed a step).

I'm on alltell's HTC 6800.

Im in sarasota/Bradenton Florida

I can get a lock, but it takes about 3 hours

I have used all the softwares and fixes in this forum to no avail.

For now, I reversed the A-GPS registry hack, as it did not help.

I just uninstalled QuickGPS as well, as that did not seem to help.

I'm using GPS Viewer to get a lock, although Google maps works as well.

Once I get a lock, it works like a champ.

Any other suggestions?
