[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
Have you been out of the house? Some houses really interferre with the connection.

Also, maybe there are some settings in the application you have to change? It should get a fix pretty quick. (first time from 10 sec tot 60, after that, below 10 sec).

So you have updated the quick GPS? Did you (after running tomtom and getting the update for the first time) do a soft reset?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nicelad_uk:
Yeah, did a soft reset after I turned A-GPS on in Advanced Config program. Have tried it in work which usually gets a fix, but will try outdoors, just thought I'd ask the question first :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
why did you do it on in advanced config? maybe that's where it went wrong. Can't remember me having to put A-GPS on in advanced Config program.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gavthebarman:
I had the issue in google maps where I could not get a lock. I had to manually configure connectivity to com port 4 in settings.

After that it has worked perfectly. I cannot say if TomTom works or not as I am waiting for my ne SD card to be delivered.

I have however noticed that everytime I sync with active sync QuickGPS always moans it is out of date even thoguh I might have updated it about 1/2 an hour ago.

Its not a major issue as its connected to my PC and just downloads the data again. i'm just ignoring it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ninja.rogue:
Do not use A-gps.

I have my TP2 fixing with no problem without it: first fix in 55", then always under 10".

Try and use for first fix Quickgps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nicelad_uk:
Brilliant, turned off A-GPS and loaded TomTom 7.915/Google Maps, got a lock, even indoors.

Spot on, thanks for that!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dazzer:
Turn off A-GPS?

I keep seeing that to make the GPS work better, while also using QuickGPS, the A-GPS should be turned off?

How do I do this?

I have only had the Touch Pro2 for a few days, but have not been able to get a satellite lock in Google Maps even when standing outside away from many buildings.

If it would work better with A-GPS disabled, please tell me how to do this!

Thanks,

Dazzer
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nicelad_uk:
It should be turned off by default, I turned mine on using a program called Advanced Config.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dazzer:
Ok, thanks, just going to go try Google Maps again to see if I can get a lock. Maybe I just wasn't outside long enough, or far enough away from buildings last time.

Hopefully I can make GPS work soon :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dazzer:
Ok, I just sat outside for about 20 minutes, in the middle of a field, away from any buildings, and was unable to get any GPS lock!

What is wrong here?

I have not touched the GPS Port settings in the control panel, but Google Maps only says Seeking Satellites (0) all the time.

If I do change Google Maps to use COM 4 Baud 4800, it gets worse and says Seeking Satellites (48037656) or some other equally stupid number! At least 0 makes sense, as there are not millions of GPS satellites, only about 20!

Please help, surely there is some way to make GPS work?

Thanks,

DW

Hi all,

AGPS is not currently supported by any UK Networks, so should be turned off if in the UK.

Cheers,

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] magius00:
i think i ended up setting all mine to com0 but i think it wasn't working originally coz i was sitting in the car and it badly needs a wash (yes that bad). Just stuck it up by window for around 2 mins and it had 8 satellites but i've reset it so often since i last used the gps i wouldn't have been surprised with around 5 mins ... 20 on the other hand is a bit daft
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dazzer:
Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with settings somewhere, as in 20 minutes outside it never indicated a single satellite in Google Maps.

I have downloaded the Advanced Configuration tool, and it says that A-GPS is Disabled, which is correct for the UK, so there is nothing to change here.

I have tried changing the Port settings, but I don't know what I should change it too. The Hardware GPS port is blank!

Getting close to giving up for the day, but I really want to get GPS working soon!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nicelad_uk:
Ok, I had the same problems, have you updated Quick GPS? Are you using Google Maps?

If you go into settings and go to External GPS my GPS Program Port os COM4 next page GPS Hardware Port is none and Baud Rate is 4800.

Make sure settings are same and restart phone.

Have you installed anything since getting phone? Might be worth doing hard reset and trying is "out of the box" so to speak.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] michaelra:
I could confirm the GPS is working and flawlessly! Much quicker than my old HTC P3600i and the locking is done in the CBD area!

I used the QuickGPS (download the latest update) and then using my GPS software called TechrificWay for Australian (it's a rebrand of NavNGo iGo MyWay 8)

Very happy ^^

(I need to set the TechrificWay application settings to find the GPS unit on COM4 though)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dazzer:
I actually spoke to HTC today and they think it's actually a fault with the hardware, possibly the internal antenna for the GPS is not connected properly.

Slightly annoying as I now need to send it back to get a replacement, or have it repaired, but good in that it's not a problem with me using it! There definitely is something wrong that I can't fix, I just can't wait to get one that works now!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
I can get a lock, but get bad lag, and it wonders off course regularly. I wonder if it could be that the radio is not that great for GPS, as many other HTCs have suffered with GPS performance that has gotten better with certain flashed radios?

HTC gave me a generic response of "check these settings" (which were all as they should be in terms of com port and baud rate etc... So I think I'll have to call them if it keeps crapping out on me :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dazzer:
(Fortunately) For me it turned out to be a genuine hardware fault causing the GPS to not work. I spoke to HTC and they believe I was the first in the UK to need to get a replacement due to a genuine hardware fault, which I guess is an honor (just a very annoying one!).

Even with the GPS not working for the week that I used it, I loved the handset, can't fault it, and can't wait until tomorrow when I should be receiving my brand new replacement, hopefully with working GPS and no faults!

Thanks for the suggestions here though, I needed to make sure it was a hardware fault before sending it back for a replacement.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thedudelasse:
I've tested three over 30km trips with Tom Tom 7 installed on the device.

Haven't lost a signal once. So it works fine here in Finland.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kyong:
I've got the same problem as Dazzer. So I hope there is no so much bad products needed to replace. I've read that more people have the same problem so it's strange that so many products would be bad. :-o And I don't get my TP2 for replacement now. But I would like to have functional GPS. I hope it can be fix other way.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] s1rl4ncel0t:
HAve any of you made a hard reset before sending the equipment back for replacement?

Sometimes, software is tricky :D

HastaSSSS
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kyong:
I haven't but I'll try. Replacement is the last thing I want to do. I'll post then what will happen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kyong:
Ok. I tried hard rest but nothing. There is still the same problem with GPS. I am afraid I'll have to get it for replacement.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rachmaan:
Hi all,

I hope it's ok i start a new thread for this.

This way i think i can help more people then when i just post this in 1 thread.

I've noticed that many people want's Manila in they own language ;)

SO maybe this wil help.

Goto REGEDIT and search for curlang

RegEdit wil find 2 results.

double click one, this file wil expand in the middle of your screen,

find curlang again , click and hold,then select EDIT

Change VALUE DATA: ( standard 409 ) into the language you want.

Find HERE the the LOCALE ID of your choise.

For example change 409 into 413 for a DUTCH Manila

Do the same with the second file in Find results:

Do a softreset, and you have a Manila in your own language :D

NOT everything wil be translated but, i hope your happy with it !

Good luck !!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] The Boss:
Thanks for this. I do not really get this - so I hope you can explain it to me.

Where do I find the REGEDIT think? Is it program or is it something that is inside the phone? Right now I have the WM 6.5 rom from Dutty, and I can´t find regedit anywhere.

Hope you know what I mean.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rachmaan:
Hi,

REGEDIT is a program.....i use Dutty also, but only the wm 6.1 rom's

so far i know Dutty always include REGEDIT, that means in 6.1 rom's

i didnt try 6.5 yet so iam not sure REGEDIT is included.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] The Boss:
It is not included. Thats why I am a little confused. Have now going to try Miri WM 6.5 V15 to see if I can get that one in danish.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rachmaan:
Internet Homepage

After you have translated your Manila

IE wil probably give you a BLANK homepage screen.

Cause it's set to default WWE ( 409 )

To change your Homepage in IE use RegEdit to go to:

HKLM / Software / Microsoft / Internet Explorer / AboutURLs

In this section you should see a number of entries labelled home_04xx that has a value of file://\windows\default_04xx.htm The trick here is to pick the correct entry. For me, it's home_0409, edit this and change the value to whatever you want to use for your home page - http://www.google.com I think the different entries are for different languages.

you also have to RENAME home_0409 into your own LOCAL ID from the list in # post 1

For example in a DUTCH manila rename home_0409 into home_0413 or just home

Good Luck !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
RegEdit is included in Duttys WM6.5 R0 & R1. Even says so in his apps included section
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RRibeiro:
I have used this trick in Dutty's 3.7 ROM to change manilla to Portuguese and it's working fine, but now I have a small problem, the start menu is amplified, the icons are bigger and don't fit well on screen.

Is there any way to put the start menu with the original size?

Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rachmaan:
Hi,

I dont think it has anything to do with changing the language.

I also had the icon problem with Dutty 3.7 BUT it was related to MAX TF3D theme maker.

I used Max TF3D to remove courtains.

Now i use the NoCourtains.cab and everything works fine,no BIG icons anymore,i had to do a hardreset,to fix it.

Hope this wil help you.

Good luck :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RRibeiro:
Thanks, it may be it.

But now I don't want to hardreset.

Can someone post the original manila 2.1 from the Dutty 3.7 Rom files so I can substitute them without hardreset?

Thanks.

I have a question regarding using adb. I have the SDK on my computer but whenever I try to open adb, a command prompt pops up, scrolls some text really quickly and then closes itself immediately.

Is this normal or something I have done wrong.
[G1 General] smasraum:
well, it's normal if you run it wrong.

adb is a command line app, not a gui. So what you need to do is open a command prompt and then type "adb devices". If you added the tools folder to your path environment variable correctly then it should give you output.

Look here

http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/what-is-adb-made-easy-17732/
[G1 General] jubeh:
that's a common thing in all cmd programs. if you dont run it straight from a cmd window, the window will just shut down when it's done. you should run ADB from a cmd window instead of just double clicking the ADB launcher icon. Somebody needs to make a frontend for those monstrous google tools.

anyway, just go Start>Run, and type cmd and then hit enter, navigate your way to your ADB directory, and run it from there (using ADB and then passing whatever parameters)
[G1 General] smasraum:
But ADB is a shell program, a "shell" front end is text/cli?

And ddms has a front end. Besides, you don't want to make it too easy for folks to screw up their phones.
[G1 General] tubaking182:
i wholeheartedly agree. tools that can do damage need to be run in terminal because most people are either too lazy to learn the terminal/cmd or they are afraid of messing up the phone. if we were to build a front end where a user basically tells the program what they wanna do then they will more than likely decide to try new things and screw up the phone. new users might not search but if they are spoonfed they are less likely to stray from the instructions.

btw OP i do not believe you are a noob or anything else, just throwing what i think out there. i know you have been around for a while and you are a good member.

By default the keyboard is shown in portrait mode. When i switch to landscape, the keyboard disappears :confused:. (Tried with standard HTC-keyboard and FingerKeyboard)

Any solutions? Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
Yeah, click in the text box and the keyboard will pop up again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tatsch:
Yes, i know that. Thanks

The point is the behavior by default. I want the keyboard shown by default without clicking anywhere. ;)
[G1 General] midnite23:
When I installed the Hero rom, everything seemed fine until I tried the htc setup, it forced closed and left me at a black screen with the status bar, and a lock screen only.

Well, I finally managed to get the rom working. When I first tried the htc setup, I would try to do the test out the virtual keyboard screen, and that's when it would force close. Well, I tried skipping that step, and everything seemed to work fine after that.

So, if you're having the black screen after flashing, try skipping the step witht he virtual keyboard and see if that works. Hope this helps at least some people.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] haj houj:
hi guys

i installed the HHC ( htc home customizer )- the final release-

on my htc touch cruise with official wm 6.1

it didn't work :s

( this is the first problem )

then i heard about htc home v 2.1 that has 6 tabs and by installing it , HHC might work

i installed htc home 2.1 plugin ( from HHC website) , unfortunately after restarting the device it freezes =====> had to hard-reset :S :(

( the 2nd problem )

what are the solutions !!

if HHC won't work here @ least i want to know how to make 6 tabs ( without manual registry modifications)

thank you in advance :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cr1960:
sorry my friend - I haven't used HTC Home for such a long time now it's hard to remember.... :(

from memory, I think I got the 6 tab in a cab created by a member called schen.

again, from memory, I think schen also created the customiser to enable you to show/hide/move the tabs around.

hopefully this helps you out a bit and maybe you can search for those cabs - or maybe someone with a better memory than me can give you more information.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] fktsndr:
This one works

you guys are a little hard on the OP, a site like xda is all about getting android to run on winmo device and vice versa!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] angenoir66:
Hi,

I think that it could be very hard to use winmo in an android device. Android requires some specific hardware and I'm pretty sure, trying this, could be the better way to brick the phone :/

The bootloader isn't made for this... But maybe, it's possible anyway. Like the exploit to run debian over android (without changing anything). The limits of this system will surely be that android doesn't use a real X server (If I've well understand it uses some kind of framebuffer light X).

And to rejoin other voices... WHY, GOD WHY?!?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheStrider:
..agree with everyone's sentiment. Also, I don't think WM supports capacitive touchscreen displays.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdamHC:
This is true, besides a heap of drivers would need to be coded aswell.

If you want a Windows Mobile phone we can trade, you have my HTC Diamond with WinMo 6.5 and I'll have your HTC Magic :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Exanimus:
totally agree!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] maedox:
I'm pretty sure it's possible... Nothing is impossible. After all it is a "normal" phone with a Qualcomm chipset (The same as in several HTC phones + Xperia X1). Isn't Windows Phone (?) 7 supposed to support capacitive screens?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pompom:
WM has more applications, thats one big reason. Its like comparing Windows with OS X, just because you got a Mac doesnt meen you want OS X. People buy stuff because they look good and at first dont think about what software they are going to use.

You cant run Age Of Empire or Duke Nukem on Android, etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbcoder:
If all you want is CRAP, but if you want crap, you should buy crap. There is no reason to buy this device when you want something different.

And no, it is not possible because of a lack of compatible drivers, and just because there are a few similar features doesn't mean that everything lines up. Fact is that it would be a *major* undertaking to run crap on these phones. To start with, you would have to write a new bootloader, and I doubt that that is going to happen since most real developers are more interested in converting wm phones to run android than the other way around.

And fyi: these devices dont have the right set of physical buttons to run wmcrap.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chefgon:
While I agree it would be neat to dual boot WinMo and Android on any hardware you wanted, I think it's pretty unlikely that anyone is going to bother going to all that effort since there are already hundreds of WinMo phones out there.
[Touch HD General] -db-:
I already posted in the sticky but didn't get any answer.

My problem is one that occurs quite often how I see but still I don't find any solution.

The problem is that the screen of my HD doesn't show up anymore when it was in standby and I left it for some minutes. It's on because I can still change the loudness and I can feel the buzz of the buttons when touching one. It takes me some luck and time to bring it completly to life again by pressing over and over the ON/OFF button. When I bought it the problem occured very rare but now it's happening all the time when it is in standby.

I never did install any roms (because until now I have no idea what it is about :-) ), the only things I have done so far:

Installed TomTom 7.450.9028 and these two registry edits:

under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\POP3 i renamed the mailtrns.dll to mailtrns2.dll (it's a fix for the email because my GMX account didn't work with POP3 on my phone) and the other was setting the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/GPSIntermediateDriver/Drivers/GPSOneDevice/PollIntervall, to get better GPS-Signal

Everything else is just original, like it was when I bought it some days ago.

Is there anything I can do? Or do I have to send it in?

I really like the phone and it's working perfect except to this point so I'd like to stick to it. Hope you have some advice,

THX in advance,

Have you tried going to Start > Settings > All Settings > System > Power > Advanced and making sure device isn't set to turn off after a period of time?

Yes to both, it will remain on unless you manually put it into standby by pressing on/off
