[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pilgrim011:
The baud rate is the theoretical maximum data transfer rate, so the rate should be set to the highest expected transfer. For GPS this is totally irrelevant, as the actual data stream from the satellites is less than 1000 baud. As such as 4800 setting still gives a 400% headroom.

Issues with I-Go

Hello together,

I don't know if this is the right threat to post this, but I think this is important for the test with GPS settings und I-Go.

I have the following setting:

ROM: Update from HTC 5.05.407.1 GER

Radio: 1.11.25.01

I-Go8: 8.3.2.64873

I tried to improve my GPS (position lag of about 1,5s and speed lag of about 2,5s) with the settings in the following threat:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=496800

When I start I-Go after doing the settings the first time, evrerything is ok. I don't think, that they improved my GPS dramaticaly but I works even with A-GPS enabled but when I close I-Go and start it again then I get a fast GPS fix indeed but after about 5s my fix is lost and comes again some seconds later. This goes on until I disable A-GPS.

In another forum I found the information, that I-Go doesnt support A-GPS at all.

But the more important thing I assume is that I-Go is changing something in the GPS settings or driver when you close it. (I checked the settings I made by hand after closing I-Go and they are still present)

Has anyone made the same experiences?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Sleuth255:
There's an aGPS bug in the ROM you're using that causes that condition. Disabling aGPS as you have done was the only way we uncovered to work around the issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Pudl:
Thanks Sleuth255 for this information.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] slapdaddy:
Just wanted to say thankyou for all of the people in this thread who have contributed to the problem, especially Sleuth. I actually e-mailed HTC tech support and this is the response i got...which I think is just a standard "Oh sorry, too bad" type of response..

"We understand it is important for your device to function as expected. The GPS applications you have mentioned are considered third party. Unfortunately, HTC cannot support any third party software because it can have various effects on the device. We would suggest a hard reset on the device. Doing a hard reset will delete all data and personal settings on the device, so we suggest saving any information you do not wish to lose. To do a hard reset, you would need to go to Start > Settings > System Tab > Clear Storage. After completing the hard reset, we would suggest using the default or carrier specific GPS software. If the issue persists, you would need to contact your carrier for a replacement or send the device in for repair. HTC Repair’s number is 1-888-617-1113. The hours of operation for HTC Repair is Monday through Friday 8 AM – 8 PM EST. We apologize for any inconveniences you may have experienced. "

The applications I mentioned are Garmin Mobile XT and TomTom. Ugh, after reading that I have zero hope that they'll acknowledge any sort of bad coding in the Radio or drivers for the GPS...GPS is GPS right? Shouldn't one GPS program work like another? If both programs are lagging then there has to be something wrong with the phone...it just seems they don't want to deal with it, which is sad.

My Fuze is lagging and I guess the more information here the better...but I have a HT851 serial along with the latest stock AT&T ROM and Radio loaded...lag lag lag...most annoying problem I've ever had with a phone lol.

Thanks again to you all for all of your help. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tuxianer:
What are the best Settings to keep the lag minimal. I have a Diamond.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pilgrim011:
If you have a Radio ROM up to date, the default settings are the best. You should only change the following:

With AdvancedConfig:

1. disable A-GPS

2. disable GPS logging

3. logfile name must be empty

4. old logfile name must be empty

5. maximum size of logfile must be 0

There are some ways to decrease the lag, but with most of them, your GPS will become less reliable, with "GPS signal lost" warnings more often than with the default settings.

Tom Tom Problem...

Hello ppl,

I'm have been using TomTom Navigator 7.910.9185 for sometime now....with obvious lag problems. After applying the tweaks floating around on xda, I was able to have the GPS lock on within 2 mins.

Recently, I tried going back and tweaking the setting hoping to have quicker lock on satellites. Along with the registry keys mentioned in the first post I changed a few other keys such as HKLM\Driver\BuiltIn\GPSID\Order and possibly a few other that I don't remember (I know I should've backed up the registry or wrote down the default values...but I didn't) and now TomTom is not even working. The program launches fine but after a few seconds the start bar flashes at the top and the whole phone locks up and I have to reset the phone.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling TomTom in hopes it would work, but no luck. I've tried changing the registry values to their default values as listed in the first post...still no luck.

Has anyone come across this? Anyone know any solution to get my GPS working again? Anything to restore all default registry values for the GPS for HTC Touch Pro? I don't want to have to hard reset the phone as I have but much stuff installed, although that might allow me to install WM6.5 :)

Anyways, hoping to see a solution...really NEED the GPS working!!!

Thanks!

PS My phone also locks when I enable GPS in Google Maps...so there is nothing wrong with the program...something wrong with the GPS registry settings!

All is working fine now....flashed a new radio :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tuxianer:
is v1.09.25.23 up to date enough?

and I can't find GPS logging in Advanced Config 3.3

and what is the default value for: RetryWaitOnError
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pilgrim011:
I don't know anything about Diamond radios, because I own Raphael, but if that radio is relatively new, it should be ok.

RetryWaitOnError = 3. You can find GPS logging in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tuxianer:
in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver i have:

CurrentLogFile (clear)

IsEnabled (1)

OldLogFile (clear)

Is "Is enabled" to Enable Loggin or to enable GPS?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cbreze:
While I fully enjoy the newest 6.5 roms (some of which were totally awesome)I decided I needed to have a more dependable device as in "stability" so I downgraded or upgraded depending on how you look at it to wm 6.1 with the latest htc rom(5.05.401.1) and radio(1.14.25.05) I now am happy to be back in stability land with a side benefit I was only hoping for, but is a reality. My gps now locks in seconds. I was trying this rom before and did not get these results so I must attribute it to the latest radio v. I'm using google maps and almost fell off my chair when inside my house I got a lock while the map screen was still configuring. Awesome is all I can say. The stability of this rom is great and now this. I'm stickin' with what works.:cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] itm:
Has anyone managed to get their hands on a Touch Pro2 yet to see if the same lag problem persists with TomTom?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pilgrim011:
Registry is ok, you don't have to change anything. "Is enabled" is to enable GPS logging, not GPS itself.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tuxianer:
but I think I have to deactivte GPS Logging. So should I change "Is enabled" to 0?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pilgrim011:
Yes, you can do that. Although I believe it's not necessary, because GPS logging is already disabled via AdvancedConfig (logfile is empty, old logfile name is empty, maximum size of logfile is set to 0).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] uvz:
I tried tomtom and igo and both have the problem of lag.

Help for resetting GPS

Hello together,

I found a exe to bring the GPS back into factory settings. This worked excelent for me.

I had the problem, that after about 15min my GPS sudenly lost the fix and with it any signal from the satelites. The only way to bring the fix back was a software reset.

But after executing the exe from T-Mobile everything worked fine again.

I don't know if the exe only works on T-Mobile branded Phones (I have one) but I think not.

Have fun.

Greetings Pudl
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mordaq:
Fix works with me now

I had the same problems with my touch pro , GPS , max 2 sattelites , no fix ,

so what is did :

1) i did the registery tweaks mentoined here in the beginning

it helped a bit but far from perfect

2) i upgraded the radio rom to 1.14.25.05 - Mirror - Newest Raphael Radio (04-13-09)

tried again and , i got within 15 seconds 6 fixed satelites

tried google maps , and it connected directly to the sattelites , got my fix ; started walking around and it reacted almost instandly , wel abou 5 seconds and you see the arrow move a bit on the map, turning around also about 5 sec before it got your possition . so for me its a good working GPS now.

i use the energy 2 series ROM now with the registery tweaks for GPS and radio rom 1.14.25.05 - Mirror - Newest Raphael Radio (04-13-09)

Trie this perhaps your problems are solved

I hope it helps a bit

Does anyone know the difference between PollInterval setting and Baud rate setting. What does each of them control? Is there at least a theoretical way to achieve the best combination of those two settings?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] freekquency:
Please tell me you are outside when your having these problems. The gps in these phones is no hyper-sensitive. You pretty much will NEVER get gps indoors with it. Unless you in a shack on top of everest 5 miles above the rest of us. I have not ever had a problem, besides the delay. It always (with clear window) lock up eventually. I geocache almost daily (just got laid off from lucent) and as i have said i have 0 problems.

Sometimes i just picture someone sitting in their bedroom turning gps on going

SEE IT DONT F*CKING WORK!!!!

im using sygic mobile 7.1 with 2009 benelux map and have the latest original htc rom with 1.11.25.01 radio and my gps has a fix of at least 6 sattelites within 20sec! no problems at all,just a little lag while driving but its minimal.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trjim2k5:
Sygic Mobile, iGO Amigo and Mireo have minimum lag. Everything else is unusable.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
...duplicate post...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
I'm sorry, but that statement is just not true. For most people there is minimal lag when using a recent ROM and a recent radio. People have reported good results with TomTom and Garmin.

I personally use Garmin and it has about the same lag that I had with iGo.

Most programs should be usable. I don't even mess with the registry settings anymore and I get the same results when using a recent ROM and radio.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paypalbid:
I have used every official ROM for Raphael and I must say this method make GPS works the best using GPS Test. Im not even talking about the lag, just the fact that the GPS engage with satellites very fast consistantly no matter what ROM im using

With the other methods enabling A-GPS and not deleteing the log files had poor results for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gizmol:
may the graphics be guilty ?

Hello, first i'm sorry but i did not readed whole topic becouse of lack of time ( im quite in subject but i'm not sure if anyone noticed what i did) Soo i'm using TT (couple of versions betwean 7 to 8) and different maps (NL/Central Europe/Western Europe/Eastern Europe) on all of navcores and maps my TP is lagging (about up to 20m) BUT, only in 3D graphical mode of TTN. When i change view into 2D in TT setings arrow is perfectly associated with my real position, another thing is that 3D view is "skiping" like frog when its moving what is a way different from my experience with Hermes. So maybe jugling with radios and GPS fixes its not the way to pin the problem of lag and there is some graphic issue ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Moaske:
Now THAT would be some smart research... If the lag persists on a T-PRO II, i think we can conclude TomTom is to blame for poor graphics coding...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] slapdaddy:
Well I have definitely noticed differing amounts of lag between different programs (IGO8, Garmin, TomTom) so that graphics issue might have some merit to it. I was thinking that it could be how each of those programs interprets the GPS code being sent to it by the GPS chip in the phone. I experience hardly any lag with TomTom but Garmin is just terrible. It shows me at least 200ft. behind my actual position and sometimes the screen doesn't refresh for 2 or 3 cycles when it should've refreshed.

I'm using the latest official HTC ROM with Radio 1.14.25.35 and the lag is the same as the older official ROM. However the GPS locks a hell of a lot quicker than it did and it locks much more consistently. At least they've fixed that problem.

I don't know if this is even possible but consider replacing the code thats being sent by the GPS chip in the TP with the same coding in a Kaiser? Don't they have the same GPS chip? I guess someone would have to edit the Radio to do that and thats why I think its next to impossible to do.?.?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] amberiya:
What materials will a satellite signal pass through? I am looking to build something to hide my satellite dish and was wondering what I can make it out of.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sjanzen:
I have a Diamond2, and the lag is still there. I've tested it under three different ROM's including stock, and three different radio versions, and used both TomTom 7.x and iGO 8.x. TomTom was better, but not by much.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] FSlonik:
Is anybody tried to use external GPS?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] noellenchris:
I have and the lag dissappears , except a small amount of lag in Garmin XT which is visible on the PNA for my car also. However the static lag (when stopping and starting + speed) is als fixed with external GPS..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] veinslay:
fixed the lag on my touch pro 2... with igo 8.0

takes about 10 seconds to get a fix, thats nice =D

(previously, it's really hard to get a fix)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pcrs:
I think it is specifically related to TT7, no sattelite at all, it seems almost like it does not enable the GPS, while gpstest 1.04 on the same position gets a sattelite immediately
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bedobela:
My TP is still pretty useless for GPS
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] korgh:
Excelent!!

Registry tweaks applied and the problem is gone!! Very fast sattelites fix (11 !!!). In warm boot Just took 5 secs to fix them and in cold boot almost 20 secs.

Mostly of time it's just received 8 sattelites before to apply the tweak.

In my opinion is amazing! :D

Tomorrow i'll do a test driving around and i'll post the results here.

As you can see (pic attachment), i'm using tomtom 7.915 with maps 830.2306 (western europe) and driving using GPS i allways got a couple secods of lag... let's see tomorrow with this new trick. :)

Thank you buddies!!

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Talondvr:
At least it works/still lags tho :(

Problems:

- 1 - 2 sec. gps lag

- open google maps -> no sat fix ->

- open google maps -> get sat fix -> found my location -> gps stops tracking/loses fix

- open google maps -> get sat fix -> found my location -> Instantly soft resets (now thats frustrating.)

(For the most part all of this happened randomly even after a hard reset with and without "tweaks".)

I installed the HTC GPStool from post 71. It now seems to get a fix and keep it reliably. :)

-I have my location on (phone settings)

-Applied tweaks from post 1.

-Open External GPS in settings. in Programs tab I have com 4, in Hardware tab I have port=none and Baud=4800

-Make sure I have a data connection.

-Have Updated QuickGPS. (Seems to not always be necessary)

-installed the GPStool mentioned above.

-Open GPStool and make sure to set to com 4, baud 4800, clear memory, tap "open". Wait approx 10-15 secs. tap "stop".

-Change clear memory to warm start, tap start, tap info tab, location/sat info appear after 1-2 sec., tap satellite tab, verify sat signal.

-Close GPStool (seems to speed up display for google maps, make sure x is set to close not minimize too!)

-Then imediatly open Google maps and it connects and tracks me fine with the exception of the 1-2 second lag (seems to update the map every second, so kinda choppy going 50+ mph.)

This has worked EVERYTIME after a soft reset. I have only had a problem once (no sat fix). I did a soft reset. did this procedure again and worked fine!

Hope this Helps Someone.

Im using TT7. I can work round the postion lag by turning off the auto zooming and then zooming out by 1 on the main navagation screen. This doesnt nothing about the actual lag though, it takes anywhere up to 7 seconds for the speedo to reach 0mph once ive come to a stop.

No problem getting a lock though, which is nice :)

Just upgrade your radio. The gps was crap for me on the stock 1.02 radio, but has worked well with 1.12 and later radios. I don't have data and so don't use a-gps, and I rarely have to wait more than a couple minutes on a cold boot and usually only 15 s on a warm one. Just update quick gps once a week, and get a program that locks well. Navicomputer is actually the fastest locking program I've tried (I also use gps viewer).

Gps iissue - fixed!

I had the problem with locking GPS Satellite as described in 1st post above. I always could see 2 - 3 sats but couldn't lock them, and finally they started to disappear from my GPS Viewer.

I tried many things/tweaks - including one ststed above - but I can't still solve the issue.

So, i search more reading in this forum and find out that HTC had made a hot fix for GPS issue - hard to find location. Yes, it's true that the hotfix is for GSM (mine is TP CDMA). but I read more and find that the hotfix is only for clearing the cache or somethinga nd maany people have tried this on TP CDMA and got positive result.

So, this is what I've done:

1. Leave the setting standard.

AGPS - enabled

Log file : Windows/GPSLogFile.txt

Old Log File : Windows/GPSOldFileBack.txt

Log size : 32000 bytes

2. Download the hotfix from HTC website (in .exe)

Sorry I don't have the link, search it in google

3. Install, soft reset and run the GPSViewer. Satellites (6 - 11) were locked in less than 1 minute.

I use WM6.5 NFSFAN. I leave the ext GPS setting as standard (com4, baut 4800, etc.)

Thanks to poster who remind me about the hotfix.

Hi all,

I use HTC gps tool V1.3.2.41d (std. app in the Energyrom).

I use my GPS in the Netherlands all the time and it works flawlessly.

When in Spain my GPS finds only 1 satellite of 16.

When using HTC gps tool to scan for satellites it found 9 satellites in just 2 min. in fixed mode. After this the GPS worked pretty good. When no satellites were found (using Sygic mobile maps 10), i started the GPS tool and satellites were found.

Hope this helps for some.
