Terrifying!

Hello, Mach2003.

Thank you for your detailed answer.

I don’t know exactly which parts were left installed. Sorry. I used KillDriver, but I remember that I had to delete something manually too. Do you have a new uninstaller??

Where is that?

The code *#1472364# has to be digit on the phone dial pad. Then a Samsung GPS managing software is launched.

That software was not able to detect anymore the GPS hardware.

TomTom -> GpsModDriver.

Google Maps -> COM0, COM2 or Automatic

Windows Mobile -> SW: COM2 or COM0; HW: maybe COM9.

Your indications about the COM settings were very interesting.

Well, you mean this?

"Index"=dword:0 => Windows assigns COM0 ?

"Index"=” “ => Windows assigns the first un-used COM ?

Well. I created a CAB with your registry settings and they works very well after a soft reset. BUT as usual there is a strange behavior.

If TomTom is operating and the satellite are fixed, it is not possible to download the e-mail.

If I close Tom Tom and I download the e-mail, then it is not possible anymore to get a fix with TomTom. The only way to get it again is to make a soft reset.

Same strange thing after synchronizing with PC...

Often happens that Nogarder GPS (*#1472364#) fixes the satellites, but TomTom doesn’t.

So, my question is: WHERE is the conflict!? (- -)*

Do you know which COM port is used to dowload e-mails? I suppose the problem is on the virtual COM. TomTom and e-mails can't share virtual COM I think.

Terrifying!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wandel:
No way.

There is no success.

Maybe you can give parameters for HD2 to force it to work properly?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skyguar:
Thanks Mach2003 for the package. I configured it accordding to Chef's Guide on my HTC HD2, but I have one problem: it is trying to connect to bluetooth device. What should I change to avoid that? Any help appreciated...

Regards,

Skyguar
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Built-in to all the latest cabs, just use windows un-installer to remove it.

Ah NoGarterGPS, it is just a (fancy) gps application simular to TomTom or ModSettings.

Use the ComPort listed under ModSettings, System under GpsModDriver for ALL your GPS applications. That port is sharable. My default value is COM7.

Yes: Index=0 equals COM0

No: Leave the index entry out for auto-select. Don't assign it to empty string or to space.

Samsung uses COM9 for all RIL communications (see VirtCom) by default, and I recomend NOT changing this setting as it is referenced elsewhere. RIL is used for all cell tower, data and raw GPS data.

I notice that you have some issue with cell tower (the '!' beside signal on the alert bar): Samsung GPS does not work without a valid Cell connection.

Did you stick a "COM9" into the hardware port under GPS control panel, that's a bad idea.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
I don't have an HD2, but the ModSettings, sensors page should be dafault:

Num Averages =5

Landscape Angle=30

Poll Time=50

Compass Speed = (what ever your GPS application requirs) 25

Auto Profile

gsensor angle=30

Both enabled.

The portrait angle is added to compass when the unit is held in small side up (regardless of the screen orientation, it uses the g-sensor). Landscape angle is added to magnetic comapss when the long side is up. When flat on the table, either one could be used.

Also check the two profiles. By default the compass is disabled in "driving" profile since the magnetic compass does not work inside a car. (if auto profile is selected, and the unit is within 30 degrees of "up" in either landscape or portrait (as it would be mounted in a car holder).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
You have enabled a BT com port. Check ModSettings ports page. Unselect the extra port (default is COM2), and then copy the 'PortConfig" reg entry from your device to the OEM/EXT you are using.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wandel:
Thank you, Mach2003

I have made everything as you say. It is really necessary to keep accurately 45 degrees and there is no need to change anything more...but its heppened after several parameter changing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majin:
No, just my phone was switched off.

The problem is that the only way at present to let TomTom (and Nogarder GPS) recognize a GPS device is to set "COM9" into the hardware port under GPS control panel. I agree with you, the problem is there... but HOW to force the GPS communication on another COM port? :mad:

The VirtualCOM 9 is untauchable! :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Sorry I gave you false information, you do need to have COM9 in the hardware port in GPS control panel, it was my HTC that had it left blank.

Your internal GPS will not work at all with the phone turned off, Samsung's all work that way, you MUST have the phone ON and be within cell tower range (although I have had some connections without cell tower connection after a VERY LOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG time).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
The Auto Profile gsensor angle is the "switching point". Default is 30 degrees, so anything closer to "top up" than 30 degrees will switch to driving mode (and should disable compass). The 45 I suggested was just to be sure it was more than 30. If you use a car kit and have a smooth suspension you can change this number to a lower value, say 15 and then walking will be enabled whenever you are not almost perfectly "top up".

When the unit it flat, detecting landscape is very hard since the gsensor reports no changes as you spin the phone around on the table. For example, if you have teh phone in landscape, and then put it flat, it will stay in landscape mode (as it does in portrait). Because of this effect it is best to use the phone in walking mode (compass on) slightly tilted away from flat.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majin:
Sorry if I contradict you, but I can get a fast fix even if the phone is off.

After some mods, now I can browse internet and sync with PC while the TomTom is on fix with satellites, BUT still I can't downlond e-mails. This is very strange! Why internet works and e-mails don't?

At present TomTom works fine with software port COM0, COM8, COM7, hardware port COM9 (only this!), baud 9600.

Any indication to fix the e-mail problem?

Now it is a kind of challenge between me and GT-B7610...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
I don't have any good advice about the email problem, email won't be using a COM port it uses GPRS over the internet channel (of course that may be using COM9 RIL functions).

I don't understand why you can get GPS on COM0, COM7, COM8, and COM9 there is at least one too many ports in the list.

COM0: Unknown

COM7: ModDriver

COM8: MSGpsid Port

COM9: Samsung RIL port, also should not provide NMEA GPS data.

If you use COM7 or COM8 do you still get the issue? You should also be able to select 115200 baud.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Larry Brent:
Setting - System - Sytem - enable

Hi,

can somebody explain the meaning of the enable checkbox beside the keep-fix value in system - system menu?

Thanks

Larry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
If keep fix is checked and GPS fix is lost, ModDriver will report valid fix to your application for "Keep Fix" milliseconds before reporting the loss of fix to the application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Talon:
why latest versions display the cursor faster than i move ?

and the cursor twitches on the road /

on earlier versions of all was normal...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
What application are you using for GPS?

What version last worked the way you like it?

Is smooth checked of under menu/system?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Talon:
aplication IGO8 or navitel...

curent version show the cursor faster about 10-15 meters and time to time twitches them back on my curent position and again to front

try with smooth checked and off

version 3.20 working more smoothely....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thunder141:
Hopefully someone can help me.

If I install any other version of gps mod than 3.2 on my hd2 it does not work correctly.

In GPS Mod Settings it shows gps connection and after a time a fix with right position.

But in my Garmin Mobile XT it is always swapping from connected to not connected. No fix and no position shown up. Same in Navigon.

Sometimes device gets to soft reset by itself.

If I remove and install 3.2 again, everything is ok. Fix, Position and no soft resets
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Larry Brent:
I have a similar problem with IGO8. The altitude display is always switching on and off while using the GPSmod driver, without the driver the display is ok (but the height is not correct of course).

Where to get the version 3.20?

Scrambled date and time

Hi Mach2003,

thanks again for the great software, but I keep having problems in my OMNIA I900 with every version after 3.20.

In an apparently erratic way, the system date and time are set to some time in the far future (like 2034) when using the moddriver.

Of course, when it happens I have to set the date and time and soft reset the device. This is very annoying and I always decided to go back to the 3.20 version.

Can you give me any hint on how to solve the problem?

Or, otherwise, is there a way to avoid waiting about 1 minute before starting to search for gps signal in version 3.20?

Thanks,

Marco
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thunder141:
GPS Mod Newer versions

no idea ??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Make sure you use Gps Intermediate Driver in Garmin Mobile XT, and NOT a COM port.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thunder141:
i have set this . With GPS MOD 3.2 all is working. With any higher version, garmin shows in gps settings satellite signal changing with no signal in a very short time. Gets no fix and does not show up any position in map screen.

When I wait for a fix in gpsmod settings i get one. When I start Garmin after that it shows the last position get from the fix of gpsmod settings but this gets lost after a time and no new fix in garmin like before.

Edit: I've tried both ways: Keep settings for update or remove settings. Also tried Killdriver. It makes no difference.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcobe:
Any help?

Please...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Uninstall Mod Driver using the settings "remove programs"

Install the latest driver package from the first post, but don't use your existing settings and don't use a backup.

Double check all the settings pages in ModSettings. Make sure they are 'normal', the first post has the default values. Check MSAPI under ports, set it's order to zero, and also check the fix box.

On the system page check log files, and expanded.

@marcobe: Run your GPS application, using mod driver until the clock changes. Stop GPS, and after 30 seconds copy the device root Mach2003 folder and email me a copy of it.

@thunder141, Run Garmin for a couple of minuyes, then exit it and send me the log folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcobe:
Ok, thanks.

I'll do that and report back. (What is your email?)

Mach2003,

Sorry for off-topic, but can you take a look at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537778

Maybe you can develop something for this, another revolutional GPS performance enhancement on our phone.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
I had a quick look and would love to incorporate the data into ModDriver.

A couple of issues I can think of: First the correction data is applied to each satellite's individual signal, we have no access to the individual sat data on the phones, only the combined final data is there. The GPS ONE device has a way to upload quick fix data, but there is no documentation of that layout, so I don't even think we could stuff it in that way. Also I'm not sure it would be used after a fix is obtained, since it is designed to get a quicker fix.

The data transfer might be very large, I'm not sure. Would a 'normal' GPS user on our phones want to "pay" for that data to get a more accurate GPS position, when external BT devices exist that give us better than 3 meter accuracy allready. Even when GeoCaching 3 meters is close enough, and for real survey use these devices would never be certified to be close enough for legal position.

Logfile

here is my mach 2003 folder. didn't find any other log folder. But runs only for 2 minutes, than device gets soft reset.

This does not happen with 3.20 version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Your config is all messed up. Use GpsModSettings,

Menu, Walking, set to defaults save.

Menu, Driving, set to defaults, save.

Menu, Sensors, the first four values should be 5,30,50,25. I don't care what you have for Magnetic declination. Auto profile at 30 both checked. Save.

Menu, System, Keep Fix 10000 and Enable, GpsModDriver section: Sleep Time 1000, ComTimeOut 100, Keep Alive 15000. Internal Gps Device section: Sleep Time 50, Poll Rate 100 Input Buffer 1024, Output Buffer 1024. SAVE.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thunder141:
OK I changed the settings like you said. Garmin shows GPS Position in GPS Info. Its the correkt position but the map screen does not show anything. With GPS MOD 3.2 all is ok, with 3.6 map screen stays blank
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] em02044:
I have installed GpsModDriver v3.6.0 on my i900 omnia to work with Tomtom v7.910 but I have a problem. My position in Tomtom is about 2-5 meters ahead of my actual position, so when I start driving, my tomtom position is ahead, then it stops until I reach it, then it gains a few meters, then it stops again until I reach that position and so on... Its really annoying seeing the map going forward and backward when I'm driving with a constant speed!

Can anyone help me how to solve this! I try different numbers on the GpsModDriver driving profile but the problem remains!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xcodee:
How to use this ?

Will any one guide me how to install this

thank you in advance :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Try setting your device clock to 10 minutes before real time, and then start your GPS application to see if it helps.

There is a bug in the current release where the clock only gets reset when it is bedore correct GPS time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Talon:
i had similar problem and posted about this on previous page...

at random method i fix that by decrease "Lag Advance" parameter from 1500 to 150 (in both modes walking and driving)

ps: also try to disable any "Cell Tower service" and check for all "Prefer Gps" options is enable

I tried but it didnt do nothing! The problem wasnt solved. But thanks anyway

Ok today I will try that solution and will post the result later. Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
The versions screen is working here, did you soft reset after installing 3.6.0 when propmpted? Does your version info stay blank after you soft reset now?

Try re-downloading/re-installing the same cab again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Update

3.6.2

- Fixed a bug where when loss of fix happens, the time to "keep fix" may have been incorrect.

- If device clock was in the past, it would never be reset to GPS time.

- Better detection of lost GPS input

- If allowing MSAPI, and COMx (both internal GPS, default config), and the current port looses GPS, ModDriver will switch to the other port. This recovers a stuck internal GPS on some devices.

on top! ...before "Newest Version:" block....

i'm not say... i told about "gpsModDriver_3_6_0_nologging.cab" - this version....

all other version show normal "about" page

Ok yesterday i tried and the problem still remains, but I notice some improvement. Can you explain me what the parameters "Speed threshold" and "Lag advance" mean/do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thunder141:
Garmin with GPS Mod 3.6.2

Now with this version map screen in garmin shows position. Strange!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Talon:
"Lag advance" - thats how much distance add ahead if your position behind

"Speed threshold" - if your speed less than parameter "Lag advance" do not applies

THATS MY UNDERSTANDING
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] em02044:
Ok, thank you for the explanation
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
On my phone, Garmin draws a 'blank' map when ever I have too many things running, and it does not have many resources (ram, thread counts...) available. Eventually it does draw the map, but I usually just soft reset to free it up, and then Garmin acts normally.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thunder141:
I did not have other things running, when I use Garmin, because of topo map data it needs much ressources ;-)

But now I have another thing, where you could help me eventually: If I use GPS-Mod 3.6 with Default configuration, the gps position is not as exact as before. I have a software for gps tracking my bike routes, and now the track is often left and right away from the real route i drive.

Do you know, what could be the reason for that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thunder141:
Any Idea for that ?

No one with a possible cause or solution?

HD2 has a crappy GPS, not much I can do about it. It has been talked about here many times before.

I had thought about some kind of filter (averaging), but could never see anything that would work considering that you need a change in course to be recorded correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thunder141:
but what for it is not so bad with the old version 3.20 ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wandel:
Today I decided to deinstall GpsMod from WM HD2.

All my GPS applications (TomTom, Igo, Oziexplorer ...) started to change day time, gps coordinates unpredictably and crashed my device.

I did reinstallation several times, but unsuccessfully and it is a pity.

Had someone such situation?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
30 meters and 3 kph, might be worth trying a bit faster to trigger an update (5 kph). At the same time, try a smaller distance (5-10 meters).

I now wonder what it would take to log something to help make these numbers easier to determine, let me think on this a bit...

Can not uninstall or upgrade

Can anyone tell me please how to remove this driver?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Once you try to uninstall or upgrade and it fails (because the port is still open, or stuck open), The only two things I have been able to do is 1) use SKTools (there MUST be other tools to remove stuck uninstalls too) to remove it, or 2) Hard Reset the phone :(

Usually upgrade, although it reports failure, still installs the updated dll. You can also rename the existing dll in windows to dll2, soft reset, and then copy the new dll from teh zip on post one, soft reset again. This will give you an update, but not an uninstall.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Multi-use port

I have a test update working so that more than one app may open the port at a time :). It works great now, as long as you close them in the same order that you opened then in :(. Don't worry I'll get it polished up soon.

:(:(:( I noticed a miss_type in the reg I write to GPSID, there is a place ( I am sorry, I did not save it, and can't remember) Under GPSID\Drivers, I think, I have SleepOnDoData, should be SleepOnNoData. If you have both values, you should set the SleepOnNoData to your SleepTime value under Mach2003. No point in removing the offending key yet, as GpsModDriver will just write it back soon enough.

I have repaired the typo here, but have not posted an update yet.

I also have my own UI well under way...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Larry Brent:
I have Virtcom installed. When i try to switch in the virtcom interface to the new com port (in my case COM6) it always says, that the com port is busy.

Another thing is, that the deinstallation did not work properly.

Says at the end of deinstallation process that could not finish the deinstallation and if i want to delete the program from the installed list of programs. Also i was not able to delete the remaining lines in the registry manually. So at the end i had to install my PPC new with a backup file.

Any solutions?

GPS Speed vs. Car Speed

I just installed the RC3... using iGO8.3, no lag, fast update...cool...

one issue: if the car speed i at 120 km/h, the GPS speed is at 112km/h...

Can this tool be used the "adjust" the GPS speed?

I know, car manufacturers are generally set up the cars on the safe side, i.e. the shown speed is higher than the actual, but it would be nice to adjust both values...

Any idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
@Mach2003

The key is HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/GPS Intermediate Driver/Drivers/SleepOnDoData

@sodycc

I don't think it's possible because if GpsModDriver sends to iGO an adjusted speed to match your car's speedometer, iGO will think that you're driving faster than you are. In fact your real speed is not what your car tells you but what your iGO tells you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IIIIIChrisIIIII:
Hi mach,

thanks for your detaild reply. BIG compliment for your engagement in answering your questions :D!!!

1) From my knowledge baud is the speed a symbol is transfered in a synchron transmission. A higher baud rate => more cpu usage => more power consumption => more battery drain.

2) I'm sorry, but i don't understand your last row. Why is

dist = (NewSpeed * 3.0 - LastSpeed) * LagAdvance / 7200.0

?

Shouldn't it be

dist = (CurrentSpeed * 3.0 - LastSpeed) * LagAdvance / 7200.0

Otherwise EnableSpeed woldn't take effekt.

Further more what for stands the constant 7200? 2 hours in seconds? That isn't it, is it?

One more thing:

Due to the much problems with deinstalltion of the driver because the port is still open, you perhaps should edit your first post and add an uninstall instruction where you explan that it is neccessary to soft reset the device before uninstalling. That could probably solve a lot of frustration ;)
