Sorry, really in need of help here.

I've been trying to flash the firmware with the testpoint method. I've been using the points inside the phone.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any guides about how to go about this.

What I've been doing:

1. Start phone on fastboot

2. Connect phone to PC

3. Shorting the test points

4. Nothing happens - COM ports do not appear on PC

I could really do with some help please

EDIT: I got QDLoader 9008 to show, but I'm getting "only nop and sig tag can be received before authentication" error on miflash

Hi,

I've just got my HTC Touch Diamond, and I can't get it to find ANY satellites in either Google Maps or TomTom Navigator 6. It has worked on a couple of occasions - both programs have been able to locate satellites, but only once or twice, and only after about 30-40 minutes searching.

I've got a Touch Cruise as well, and the one thing that always worked very well on it is the GPS, particularly with TomTom. Within a few seconds, the Cruise ALWAYS finds at least a couple of satellites, even indoors. The Diamond never seems to be able to find any, even when I stood on top of a hill in open ground for 45 minutes yesterday!

I'm guessing it's a configuration problem or conflict of some kind, given the fact that it HAS found 4-8 satellites a couple of times. The GPS settings in Windows are precisely the same as on my Cruise (COM4 and 4800 baud), the QuickGPS is up-to date, and Assisted GPS is active according to Advanced Config.

One thing I did notice is that TomTom Navigator 6.03 doesn't give me the option to select 'Built-In GPS Reciever' on the Diamond (my Cruise TomTom is set to 'Built-In GPS Reciever). I have to select 'Other NMEA GPS Receiver' and set 4800 baud and COM4. It DOES seem to find the GPS device, but it doesn't find any satellites (except once or twice). I thought this might be the source of the problem, until I tried Google Maps and found that that couldn't find any satellites either. Running the Cruise and Diamond side-by-side, the Cruise finds a good number of satellites in just a few seconds, whereas the Diamond is still searching for its first after an hour!

Has anyone else had this problem on the Diamond, or with WM 6.1? Does anyone have any clue how I might be able to resolve it? Right now, I'm feeling that I've been suckered into buying yet another HTC device that simply doesn't work properly. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob.

P.S. I can't get SRS WOW to work on the Diamond either. All sound output just disappears completely, and when I launch the SRS WOW application it says that no driver is installed. No amount of soft-resetting has resolved it, and in the end I had to uninstall SRS to get my system sound back. Does anybody know how I can get SRS WOW onto the Touch Diamond?

YEAH THE GPS ON DIAMOND DON't WORK!!

Yeah, I was so excited buying my diamond.. I always keep accessories brand new so incase I resell for any reason..so the first time I charged it up w/ a usb cord and it died in a couple of hours. I thought it needed to be charged from its own charger. So I took out the charger that came w/ it, charged it fully and it died again in 3-4 hours of using it. I was super angry. So, finally I am lookin around for the gps ( navigation ) software, only to soon realize that there is none. So, I put in the application cd that comes w/ the phone to find out that there isnt any apps on it. Anyway I install an old version of google maps on the phone that I used w/ my palm treo and realized it only picked me up w/ in 1100 meters of where I was at. I thought it was the old google and the new one would of had better gps locationing, but now that I read your blog and find out that this phone really sucks for real, I am super angry!! I just paid $799 for this crap! I should of stayed w/ my big e90. I even registered a name on this site just to tell you I agree, I will keep bugging HTC until they send me something new and fix it. They can atleast send me that cool dock they have on their website. And how did u get the tom tom for it?????????? Koda

I finally got it working

I've been having the exact same problem with Tom Tom 7. It would either say "No GPS device!" or it would have terrible signal so I couldn't get a lock. The solution was to Turn off assisted GPS and reset the diamond. Now i get a lock in 10 to 15 seconds when indoors!

And on a personal note, I just wanna say a HUGE thanks to everyone who posts on this forum and the guys who run this (even the guys posting problems and not solutions) it's been a huge help (and good reading) ever since i stubled onto this site.

Thanks, Aaron

In TomTom 7 do you use internal GPS antenna? Or NMEA?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ashrafelganzoury:
Guys,i have tried every single way on this page to get a GPS signle on my HTC Diamond but it always says "NO GPS Device" on Tomtom 7 or "No GPS reciever" on Google Maps, ...etc.

And there is no QuickGPS utility or Assisted GPS in my setting,programs, or setup CDs. There is only the External GPS on the Settings-System.

I am afraid that the GPS is actually closed or disabled somehow.

Please if someone has found a solution or knows how to unlock the headset's GPS, post a reply.

Have a T-Mobile Compact IV with the Tomtom 7 package I found on this forum. I didn't get any voices but after downloading and installing the free map it can't find the internal GPS. I thought this rip was for the diamond, so it should work exactly the same!?

Added to the Google Maps will only triangulate my nearabout position with the use of cell phone towers. I can't find anything to play with the GPS and I've never managed to pick up any satellites even with that little app that downloads their positions.

Has anyone figured this one out?

More than one Navigation software!!!

Hi,

I had troubles with HTC Diamond GPS where I had to Hard Reset the phone to get the GPS working.

There is a suspicion on GPS problems with HTC Diamond!!

I have 2 navigation software, TomTom 7 and IGO, and of course the built-in Google Map. However, earlier when I had problems, I used to open tomtom try it, close the problem, and open IGO, play with it and close it.

The GPS then stopped working. I hard-reset the phone, and installed again both software but used only one, IGO and opened Google Maps but didn't use the GPS.

However, today, I opened Google Maps, used GPS and closed it. Now I am trying to open IGO and use the GPS but stopped working. Having the problem again.

Can anybody please confirm my suspicion on the problem which is that you cannot use more than one navigation program on HTC Diamond as somehow it hangs on the internal GPS and maybe blocks it?

Did anybody try it??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] shemeri:

Or maybe only between IGO 8 and TomTom 7 when the GPS hangs!

Hi,

I've just bought an HTC TD too, being the impatient, rather than the academic, type I registered with TomTom and went straight to their support page (shortest distance between two points etc...). There you will find the instructions to configure TomTom/Diamond GPS settings 'Configuring the built-in GPS receiver on your HTC device..'

It works.

I see that, if you haven't done so yet, you need to go to the HTC site and update to the latest ROM too - gives you quad band and a speedup. You have to register there too!

NoData is a useful program.

A-GPS on, with TomTom 7: no fix. When I turned A-GPS off everything was fine.

I would like to know wether A-GPS should be supported by the nav-software in order to work, or that A-GPS isn't well implemented in the Touch Diamond.

Does anybody have a clue about that?

TomTom Issues

There is a setting that can cause these problems, and it's the Incoming Beam Settings, this function should be disabled for GPS to work. If it is enabled, it flips between BlueTooth and GPS device causing the dropped signal.

Goto Start, Settings, Connections and tap the Beam icon, then uncheck the Receive all incoming beam, then OK. This should allow the gps receiver to stay locked to gps. You will need to re enable the Beam setting to search for BT devices and for pairing, hope this solves your problem.

Diamond Build and Settings for GPS

Hi All,

I have a similar (or even the same) problem today with the GPS. Specifically I have TOMTOM 6 installed and the GPS could also find the satellites no problem, however TomTom would switch every couple of seconds between having the GPS Signal (or "Waiting for a valid GPS signal") and "No GPS Device!".

After reading everything in this thread and also some other threads on the Diamond GPS, I thought I'd share my findings and configuration with everyone.

1. The AGPS function turned on with Advanced Config is the cause for the effect described above. I turned it off again and now the GPS works completely fine, and locks on to the satellites in less than an minute. Inside I still have no reception (but I think this would largely depend on the building you are in as inside all you can receive are really satellite signals bounced of other surfaces, eg. another building)

2. Turning on or off the incoming beam function made no difference whatsoever to my device!

3. In Tom Tom 6, my settings are:

a) Other NMEA GPS Receiver

b) GPS baud rate: 9600 (although I played with this, also works with 4800)

c) GPS Connected to: COM4

4. My WM 6.1 External GPS settings are set as per the attached screens.

5. Some people have stated that that Radio and ROM may have an influence. My device is labelled as DIAM100 and my Radio & Rom Versions are (both from XDA):

a) Radio: 1.00.25.05

b) ROM: TOM_DiamondProject_v3.3_WWE (Based on Diamond Rom 1.93.921.2)

Can't really think of anything else that would be relevant. Would be interested to see though whether there are diamonds out there that duplicate my settings and still don't work...

No GPS Signal

Hi all

after reading lots of threads regarding the GPS not worknig on the diamond , and not having found a solution, I thought I'd post my problem.

GPS was working fine on my Diamond before flashing the panosha ROM Shine On 1.6. (see my sig for details)

Testing with the HTC GPS Tool on COM4 did somehow connect to the GPS and also showed debugging information, but no location information could be read.

My settings in ExternalGPS are:

Programs: COM4

Hardware: None, Baud rate 4800

Access: Manage GPS automatically

- Advanced Config: A-GPS is disabled!

- Google Maps reports "no satellites could be found"

- GPS Test reports "GPS starting up" and stays like this forever, all the values remain 0 and nothing happens

- TomTom 7 also connects to the GPS but can't find any satellites either.

The GPS Status/Config of the TomTom7 software shows the first bar at about 31, goes up if I move outside, although the GPS signal should be excellent even in my apartement as it was when I was running the stock ROM (1.93.407.1)

Looks like my GPS signal is extremely weak, but I'm not sure if that is my only problem.

1. So the question is: How does the Shine On 1.6 ROM affect GPS settings?

2. Or does the developer hardSPL 1.40 also affect anything related to GPS? My original SPL is 1.93.0000.

- Note that I haven't flashed another radio. It's still the 1.00.25.05.

- I'll continue to share my progress in this thread as it seeems appropriate.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, since i got my Diamond i never had any problems with GPS, Google Maps and TomTom 6 worked fine. Then i installed GPSMeter -a program to track you waypoints - and got no gps-fixes ( localisation via satellites) with this program. Then I tried Google Maps and TomTom 6 again and the trouble had begun.

I played with the WindowsMobile setting but no success, then i wanted to get the settings back to the delivered state. I found the following values in many different places:

Program COM4

Hardware none

Baud 4800

Manage GPS on

With this WindowsMobile settings i get "no gps device" in TomTom. GoogleMaps localizes me with the cell information from my phone (AGPS) and says "Initialze GPS..." without any progress. When i set the hardware Port to COM7, GoogleMaps is looking for satellites but cannot find one. Sometimes after "Initialze GPS..." GoogleMaps seems to hang off but remains in the background (but not listet in the task-list) because the phone is very slow after this and Google Maps can't be startet again.

So i've no idea whether the WM-Setting are good or bad. I used QuickGPS often to renew the satellite data. I did some soft resets.

Have the 1.37... ROM, 1.00.25.03 radio

Going to put the new 1.93 ROM on my Diamond tonight and hope this will help... Will report any progress.

Maybe someone can answer some questions:

1. How to change AGPS?

2. What ist the trick with the hardware Port of the internal GPS-device. I guess it has something to do with a direct access to the device and die program port is for a shared access?

3. Is there a good simple programm to diag the GPS-stuff?

4. any ideas how an aditional program like GPSMeter can confuse the GPS?

5. Any other trick and tips?

Thanks from Germany

Working GPS

After much searching forums and faffing around with settings my GPS finally kicked in with Tomtom 6.032.

Not 100% sure why it suddenly started working but I can only post what I know to be the settings that work for me and hopefully it will for you too.

In windows start/settings/system/external GPS, set GPS program port to any com port so I used COM1. This doesn't seem to matter as you choose the corresponding com port in Tomtom itself later. On the hardware tab you can leave com port to "none" and baud rate 4800. On access tab tick "manage GPS automatically"

Now start tomtom go to "change preferences" then "show gps status" then "configure". Choose "other NMEA GPS reciever" then "baud rate 4800" then it will say at the top "GPS is connected to :" and give two com port numbers. One is the com port you chose before in windows settings and com7. (don't know why the com7 always appears but it doesn't matter) Highlight the com port you chose before (in my case com1) and it should take you back to the number of satelites page. On the top left in very small writing you should see the status. If you see "no valid gps signal" then you know at least tomtom is communicating with the gps reciever. If it says "no gps reciever" then it is not.

Click "done" and it will take you back to the map page. On the bottom left you will see the same status information. If it says "no gps device" then you know the gps reciever isnt working and not setup properly. If it says "waiting for valid GPS signal......" then you know tomtom is seeing the gps reciever and now you need to a clear outside location to get a satellite lock.

So to sum up it just seems to be a case of picking a com port in the windows/settings/external gps/program port/ page and then choosing the same com port in tomtom gps set up.

Seems obvious now hope this helps anyone

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] solmanic:
I have followed all the advice here and still get a "No GPS Device" message. Interestingly I think my problem is nothing at all to do with Tomtom.

When I set the GPS settings (to anything - any COM port, any baud rate), then close the GPS settings app and relaunch it, it has reset to COM port - "none" and 4800 baud. So none of my GPS settings are "sticking". Therefore it is no surprise that Tomtom doesn't register that there is even a GPS device.

AGPS is off, incoming beams is off, Wi-fi is off, device has been hard reset so many times I lose count.

Radio ROM is 1.00.25.06 (Telstra Australia supplied ROM).

Any advice would be appreciated.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] madlive:
Wauw, a whole tread about the GPS, the problems discribed here are all to familiair with me.

Since this morning I can't get a good signal anymore. Tom Tom 6 and the HTC GPS tool show satellites but can't get a fix. Inside or outside it won't matter. It all started after a flash to a new rom. Flashing back to the previous rom did not solve the problem. This is driving me crazy. My external GPS receiver based on the MKT chipset get's a fix (bt connected) with 15 seconds. I left the internal receiver search for a signal over 30 minutes but no stable signal returned after this period.

The satellite radar shows enought satellites but the signal bars don't go up at all.

GPS not finding satellites

I had the same problem after setting AGPS in Advanced Configuration Tool. Nothing I did: soft reset, hard reset even installing new ROM resolved the issue. Finally I found the problem: Go to Programs-settings-phone-services-Location setting-get settings-On. This allows your phone to tell your GPS where you are. The GPS now finds satellites in a few seconds.
