[Android Themes] raysilverstone:
now that i have used the new update all day i would have to say that the new icons don't look so great on here.
[Android Themes] jabbawalkee:
Yeah they look completely out of place...thats because theyre made fr the iphone and dont even look good on the iphone!
[Android Themes] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
I'm sorry you don't like them. I would create my own icons if I knew how.

Thank you :D! But what about the theme.theme file is that to a text file? Is the text file blank or do I need to put something there? And is it even necessary?

Are you guys saying that because the icons were made for iPhone or do you genuinely do not like them.

If you all really don't like them I will revert them back to the default icons.
[Android Themes] eessel:
I genuinely don't like them. but i have to give you props for trying to do something different. Can't deny that. But not so much with the icons though. Just a suggestion. Thanks for all that you do to help us out though. It is greatly appreciated! :)
[Android Themes] jabbawalkee:
I genuinely do not like them. I have both an iPhone and a MyTouch3G and I wouldn't put those icons on either of my phones...I think it would be a great idea to revert back. I commend you for trying though man. I'd be willing to create some icons for this theme when I have some spare time (that is, if you'd like?). I'm familiar with Photoshop and it would be a good project for me. I don't know the how to package and and sign themes (or use adb) so that part could be on you obviously since this is your theme. But, let me know!
[TG01 General] beau.chambers:

Hi, i have almost the same problem i install difretn program on my TG01 i i have problem because hi cannot found a gps :( why

[TG01 General] shortjock:
I'm using gps gate for memory maps on my tg01, works a treat.
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
For most of these programs, if there is an option for what driver/source, choose intermediate driver, other than that, it should work without gps gate
[TG01 General] ady_uaic:
for those that use igo8 as navigation software, to be recognized the gps receiver, just add the following lines in sys.txt:

[gps]

source="virtserial"
[TG01 General] Kev007:
i found that gpsgate works like a charm as well

sadly its not freeware but you can try it out, it has a trial version :)
[TG01 General] LIckorish:
I am using NDrive .. and loving it ... so much nicer than the TomTom and Garmin.
[TG01 General] zomig:
GPSGate does work but there is another issue with the GPS on this device where it will lose the signal after a period of time and then sit there and reconnect. It does still work but intermittently disconnects and then reconnects. Apparently the same thing happens when using Garmin which actually doesnt need GPSGate, so nothing to do with the application but more to do with the hardware.

Be nice if this gets fixed when the next update comes out.

Won't hold my breath though.
[TG01 General] ady_uaic:
I agree with you @zomig
[TG01 General] RageCore:
haven't you read sticky psots? :rolleyes:

its all been said before..-.-
[TG01 General] Philip:
OK then ...

Where precisely on xda-developers has the issue of the TG01 intermittently losing its GPS connection been discussed?
[TG01 General] BiG K:
It is not GPSGATE causing this problem. I believe the problem lies in loosing reception for a second. Without a valid phone signal, the GPS fails to work.

Everytime I lost GPS, I also lost phone reception....

Basically what I think happens is this, somewhere in the software, if the phone signal is lost, the A-GPS is lost, the proper GPS chipset is shutdown too, which throws the GPS program.

Then the phone signal comes back, A-GPS gets a fix and boots the proper GPS up.

My idea is to disable the A-GPS as its useless anyway and get it working on a traditional way. GPS chipset only.
[TG01 General] ady_uaic:
i don't use A-GPS and I still have this problem.
[TG01 General] BiG K:
A-GPS comes on automatically alongside with the proper GPS. You cannot specify it.

I have noticed that I loose signal when the GPS is running otherwise it's fine :confused:

I hope Toshiba fix this soon, it does get annoying!! :eek:
[TG01 General] mtwaldman:
No sound on Toshiba TG01 for IGO App,

I got the GPS to work with the Virt serial but I cannot get the sound to work at all. Has anyone got the voices to work?
[TG01 General] Pere:
Dear friend, that's odd, GPS and phone are separated because if you switch off the phone (Fly mode) , GPS still works perfectly...
[TG01 General] BiG K:
Not on the TG01, which is the problem, when the phone is in flight mode (or no sim card) the GPS fails to work! :rolleyes: Which makes me question if A-GPS which works through the cellular network has something to do with all the problems......
[TG01 General] Pere:
My GPS works perfectly without SIM card..:confused:
[TG01 General] coolcatdesign:
hello! I am new to this internal GPS thing (I used external bluetooth gps on a qtek 9000 up till now) I tried to find answers on google about how I can connect my igo8 to the internal gps and I cannot find any useful one. could you please help me with detailed instructions?

thank you!
[TG01 General] welshdragon:
In the sys file add

[gps]

source="virtserial"

And it works.

Let me knoe how you get on.
[TG01 General] Dodge0069:
I use Garmin 5.00.20w and I've had no issues with finding gps signal. It was easy to setup, no need for GPS gate. I have seen it randomly drop the GPS signal once though, thought it was just a building or something blocked the signal for a min.. anyway

Garmin works, no special setup required.
[TG01 General] zomig:
I am using gpsgate and have not made any changes to the ini file within IGO8, it picks up the gps just fine.
[TG01 General] jutley:
why does on my tg01 with tomtom 7 it keeps saying your phone will be reset for gps settings and phone reboots i do not have gps setupp as yet on gpsgate or anything but i keep getting this reboot message.
[TG01 General] jutley:
ok got it all sorted with gpsgate and setting comports tt7 great combination all working fine

Don't forget open your bluetoth and update a gps data. Then after ubdate your gps dat go outside and try to conect to gps.
[TG01 General] qasi:
thanks for the hlp guys

but how does gpsagate work beucase i installed it and then soon later the application wasnt working. the step guide that gpsgate guy uploaded the GPS Nav option wasnt available.

thanks
[TG01 General] ady_uaic:
@Pere, sorry but you are in a big mistake. If you set the TG01 (not other device) on flight mode, then adio gps. it will not recognize the satellites. so, someone has found out the problem with disconecting of 1-2 seconds?
[TG01 General] samarkh:
On my TG01 and CoPilot 8, I'm working fine. BUT I need to have the phone on to see the GPS signal, then the phone can be turned off.

to summarise my procedure

Turn on Phone

Start...Settings...System...External GPS

Programs tab - COM 4

Hardware tab - (none)

Access tab - Managed By Windows checked

Exit back to Home screen

CoPilot...Settings..GPS...Setup GPS...Search for GPS Connection

After a short while it should come back and say all is well.

You should be able to turn off the phone now.

No need for GpsGate with CoPilot. This also works with Google Maps at the same time.

Yours Simon M.

PS I'm using WM6.5
[TG01 General] Pere:
No mistake. As you can see in the attached image, even with my SIM card

removed

, I still have full GPS service (with IGO). You are right that GPS doesn't work with other programs, but I always use IGO and I don't have GPS problems. Perhaps that's the reason....

Best Regards
[TG01 General] ady_uaic:
again you're wrong :). i've said if you are in flight mode(or airplane mode ON) not with the sim card removed. Yes is working, because the radio is ON. if you powered it off (comm manager/airplane mode on) then you will not have GPS signal/receiver anymore.

Does someone have a solution regarding the GPS signal? Not to be losed anymore?
[TG01 General] Pere:
ady_uaic, NO MISTAKE, you are a hard nut to crack !! ;)

Yes,

on Flight mode

, I also have GPS service (with IGO, of course). I'll post a video to show it if you don't belive me !!!!
[TG01 General] bib*oops:

, I also have GPS service (with IGO, of course). I'll post a video to show it if you don't belive me !!!![/QUOTE]

Ady, no offence man, maybe he's right(but not totally!). Let me explain this:

with phone turn off (from wireless manager) and

gpsgate activated

, iGO8 is working fine (also Automapa 6.0.1), but Garmin(not using gpsgate by default) is giving me some error, turning on phone, Garmin is back working fine.

Am incercat asta de mai multe ori. Nu ma pricep sa explic, dar asta e...

Sper sa nu fie cu suparare.
[TG01 General] Pere:
Thank you bib*oops, I've always said "with IGO" . I don't have GPS lags with IGO in my daily use (if at least four satellites are visible, as expected). It's true that GPSgate is working, but the Ady's hypothesis is that phone and GPS are linked, and if we can use GPS (with of without GPSAGate that it's only the way to access to the internal GPD9 port used by GPS) without SIM card and/or wireless activity (phone turned off) , that means that this link is not real (ot not always real)

Cheers
[TG01 General] ady_uaic:
you see, I didn't mention something about an additional software, like gps gate :). I was talking about igo and the phone, nothing else. and in this case, i'm 100% sure that is not working when the tg01 has the airplane mode on. if you have gpsgate, then yes, is working 'cause it finds the gps receiver.
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
I see... Now it's clear for me!

Ady, how do you select airplane mode?

Thanks...
[TG01 General] lume999:
STOP!!!!

All holders of TG01 you use "Nav N Go iGO 8 R3 series - v8.3.2.124260 (dec 16 2009)"must not do modifeche of any kind, it works perfectly. :D

Or the programa GpsGate 2.6 :D and using all the others "tomtom garmin etc. .."

remains the best IGO 08

HELLO TO ALL ... GREAT XDA!
[TG01 General] souljaboy:
yep ... the key is...

in external settings , dont set it to GPD1...9 but set it to COM0...9 , COM0 is best really , i got Google Maps & iGO 8.3.4 working perfect like that :)
[TG01 General] lume999:
I forgot I did not set any door in the TG01,

and the GPS takes very little to receive the signal.

800x400 screen self manages the G Sensor active in TG01. "vertical-horizontal"

fluid and nothing clicks.:)
[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
I'm trying this version at the moment, and although I've only tried it indoors, where I get really good reception, I'm still getting the loss of signal every 15 to 20 minutes, the signal is then regained after about 10 seconds.

I've tried every 'solution' out there and so far nothing has corrected this signal dropout. I've tried TomTom, Garmin XT and iGO8, also GPSgate 2.1 and 2.6.
[TG01 General] lume999:
SteveYorks sorry, but you tried iGO8 the ver.8.3.2 .. 124,260 of "DEC 16 2009?" I motion that and it is the perfect site where I found "gpsunderground"MORE THAN A MONTH AND THAT ALL AROUND ITALY, no disconnects.

GpsGate for VER.2.6 bind port COM 4 IN AND OUT OF THE COM 2, important and records with a key GpsGate ES:. Core9lWl, Core0lVm, CoreQkan, CoreWkYo, CoreElWq and an example :p

let me know! CIAO.
[TG01 General] lume999:
How to set GpsGate 2.6

First of all you go on and set the External GPS COM4

1. Open GpsGate 2.6

2. Leverage all the whiskers, and click on manual

3. Input you must select "COM Port"

4. Setting-> select COM port in serial GPSmultiflexer -> press ok

5. Press "Open" will be written that I'd see "Running OK!"

6. Now go to "Output" -> select "Vitual Com Port" -> press "Add" and press OK to leave Com2

7. 'll See that to where it says "Active output, you see" Virtual COM2 "under" Running OK! "

8. Time and configured

9. Record GpsGate

10. See Annexes

[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
Hi lume999

thanks for all the info. I've tried your settings above (although I'm not sure what you mean at number 8. and 9.). I'm running exactly the same versions of iGo8 and GPS Gate as you but still have problems. I tried a journey today and iGO completely froze up after about 20 minutes, this has happened to me before when using TomTom also.

I believe that there is nothing wrong with iGo, TomTom or GPSGate, but that there is some background program, either in my ROM from Orange UK, or in Windows 6.5 that is interfering with my gps programs.

Over the next few days I'll retry with TomTom and my latest version of GPSGate.
[TG01 General] Pere:
@SteveYorks

My advice is:

1) Full Backup (SPB Backup recommended)

2) Hard Reset

3) Only install GPSGATE and IGO8

4) Test a full weekend driving a lot

If it still fails, that must be a hardware problem....(under guarantee)

Good luck
[TG01 General] lume999:
Promise with the release of 16 December did not need iGO8 GpsGate works perfectly, do not even need to configure the GPS hardware, and does everything iGO8 month tour of Italy, car & bike no problem.

[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
Hi souljaboy, I'm fully aware that iGO8 will run without GPSGate, its runs on mine like that, but my problem is the dropping of the signal or freezing up every 20 mins, so if someone offers a possible solution I'll try it, besides I need GPSGate installed for when I use MemoryMap GPS.

I've just done as Pere suggested, hard reset, noting installed but iGO, and had a test drive, it froze after 15 mins.:mad:

I'm gonna email Orange and ask for a replacement, although I've had it for nearly two months now so I'm not sure what the outcome maybe.
[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
Wow - just been on the phone to Orange ( after going through numerous numbers and hanging on), and a new phone will be delivered tomorrow evening! Result :D

I told her the problem and she said ' hang on I'll just check in the database to see what we can do'. Turns out that if this problem crops up its a simple straight swap of the phone! With other problems they may have to take the phone in and try a repair etc. So I'm quite lucky in that respect, and I've been using it for 7 weeks too. Thanks for the idea Pere.
[TG01 General] souljaboy:
lol with all these faults , toshibans must be gettin tons of faulty phones back ... u were on 6.5 i presume ?
[TG01 General] Pere:
You are welcome! :)
[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
Yep, Win 6.5, been blaming microsoft for the past few weeks for my problems, but if it turns out to be just a defective unit from Tosh, then I guess I've just been one of the unlucky ones, these things can happen.
[TG01 General] jonski:
Hi, using igo8 v8.3.2.64029 on a Toshiba TG01. Sorted the gps and resolution but the final hurdle is no sound! When choosing a voice profile i don't even get a 'have a nice trip' test voice... can anyone help? thank you.
[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
Basically make sure you've got the right files in the correct folder and turn on Sound in iGO menu. Don't try the TTS voices, as far as I know they require more RAM than we have available.

All your GPS questions will easily be resolved by going to gpsunderground dot com.
[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
Well what a bugger, got my replacement Tosh last night, installed iGO, and its exactly the same as before, looses the gPS approx every 20 mins.:mad:

I've only tried it by the window at the moment, where I get an excellent signal and sometimes 12 satellites locked on, but I wouldn't be surprised if when I try it in the car it freezes up again and I have to wait 15 mins before it locks back on.

I just wonder if theres been some dodgy quality control by Toshiba, its seems to be quite a lottery as to who gets a good unit and who has a bad one. Maybe I'll keep this a few weeks and then get on to Orange again for another unit.

Well peeved.
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Set volume control in iGO8/settings/audio to the MAX!!!

Mine is working only this way???(on every vers. of iGO8.3 I've got).
[TG01 General] jonski:

[TG01 General] lume999:
I'm sorry to hear that wrong iGO8 :confused: ... my version and piu'recente and 16 December 2009... :( PERFECT AND I did a month of travel throughout Italy and dat's no problem, even when I entered the tunnel and go out 1 or 2 seconds max was already with the signal .. do not know what to tell you.

CE5.2.2.21840 SO TG01 6.5 (build 21840.5.0.60)

iGo My Way 8 ver.8.3.2.124260 Dec 16 2009
[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
Mines exactly the same build for both iGO8 and Windows. I've rang Orange again and my next replacement phone is coming tomorrow!

I asked about these replacement phones and apparently they are all reconditioned units that have been 'fully' tested.

P.S. after my latest round of testing I noticed iGO was loosing the signal with alarming regularity after 19 mins and 30 seconds, I installed Memory Map and tried that, it too dropped out after 19 mins 30, definitely something weird going on in the background, and nothing to do with my software.
[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
Well this is my third TG01 and finally the GPS is working correctly, iGO is loving it.:)

This is exactly the same firmware as my other two phones, the only thing I've done different this time is that I haven't had it unlocked yet and I'm using the Orange sim in it. I'm going to keep it like this for the next few days before unlocking it.

So I can only conclude that the problem was one of the following

a) it was a hardware failure on my other two phones

b) unlocking the phone and using O2 has caused the problems

Can anyone else confirm that they've had an Orange UK phone unlocked (by Vitamise) for O2 and their GPS is still running ok?
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Mine is orange RO, unlocked by vitamise, using whatever network(not orange), gps appps (whatever) working just great...

IMO tg01 has very good gps capabillities with appropriate apps and settings...

Good luck with your new tosh!!!
[TG01 General] Philip:
I can confirm exactly that.
[TG01 General] DunkDream:
Is there a solution for the GPS problem that the GPS receiver disconnects and reconnects ever 1-2 seconds?

I use IGO8 the newest version. It works good, but somehow the gps receiver disconnects and reconnects very 1-2 seconds.

Can somebody confirm this problem?
[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
Thanks for the info guys re unlocking the phone.

After my initial excitement and jumping around like a spring lamb at thinking I had finally got a good phone, my enthusiasm quickly diminished. On my first GPS trial iGO had run for about 1 hour with hardly a hiccup, and that was enough to convince me to send off yet another tenner to Vitamise to have the phone unlocked. However subsequent uses saw the same old problem begin to rear its ugly head. The GPS just seemed to be deteriorating and iGO would be losing its lock with more and more frequency, sometimes just running for about 3 minutes before the signal went, and then taking up to 30 seconds to reconnect. It even froze completely on one journey and needed a restart.

I installed MemoryMap and tried that too, the same GPS signal loss was occurring, although MemoryMap does seem to be able to recover from this more quickly, and lost signal for a maximum of about 20 seconds.

So I've now spent £30 getting phones unlocked. :mad:

My FOURTH phone will be delivered from Orange tomorrow. :eek:

I won't be buying anything from Toshiba again. :(
[TG01 General] ady_uaic:
we are still waiting for a solution, a fix...i have the same issue...i have to restart it each time...

[TG01 General] ady_uaic:
i have replaced last night the .exe file of igo (that's enough), with this one that you said, from december 2009, but still persists the problem. can you please archive the igo (without map, lang, voice files) and send it to me please?
[TG01 General] bojan6:
Guys I have my with TT7 for 6 mounts and never had a problem.

I used to travel from Granada-Spain to London and then from London to Sofia-Bulgaria with my car and no problem. Just may be you can lost some time the gps signal but its normal because is it small and we haven't a big antenna and we move constantly. This is the simple radio signal and wen you travel with your car if you haven't a god antenna you wost the signal.
[TG01 General] Pere:
Same results here but with IGO8. Tested since July 09 under WM6.1 and 6.5, only few problems if less than 5 satellites are not visible.... but this is usual in most of the GPS without external antenna.

Very satisfied, and the A-GPS works perfectly.

IGO8 works now perfect on my device.

I don't get reconnects and freezes.

Doesn't IGO8 work properly on your device lume?
[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
I,m now on my fourth TG01 due to the GPS disconnecting issue and its still occurring even after this update, In fact its made mine even worse! Took a quick trip yesterday and iGO disconnected after only 5 minutes, came back on after about 25 seconds, on the trip back it disconnected after about 3 minutes for the same amount of time. Was still doing it this morning but I got 10 minutes out of it. I've just tried TomTom and its the same.

Well pissed off with this now, and I can't be bother asking Orange for another one.
[TG01 General] Pere:
Why don't you test with an external Bluetooth GPS? Just to compare.
[TG01 General] SteveYorks:
I don't have an external bluetooth GPS. One of the reasons I got this phone was due to inbuilt GPS, so that I can have an 'all in one' device.

My last phone was an XDA Orbit, its lasted three years and the GPS in that has worked flawlessly.
