Thanks for the CAB. I found this installed under the Program menu as GPSId Settings program. Still, I wonder why this smartphone's version of WM6.5 did not come with this under the System Settings tab.

I went out to dinner to get away from the computer and the frustration of trying to do a Hard Reset. Still have not figured that one yet.
[General Questions and Answers] ColonelZap:
I'm so sorry I haven't reported back sooner, I'm sick and I've busy :(

A Clean Boot was one of the first things I tried after I got the GPS problem, it didn't do anything! :(

Question: Is there a difference between a clean boot and a hard reset? I can click on a clean boot icon in the settings but I was also able to find a button combination to have Windows re-install itself. Is there a difference? Is a hard reset yet another thing or is it the same thing a clean boot does?

Anyway, I think I'll give a clean boot another shot ;)
[General Questions and Answers] bipinsen:
I'm not sure what the "clean boot" option in these phones do. In OEM phones, it is supposed to take the OS image stored in the ROM and reinstall the phone OS. Sort of like most computers these days. However, it could also mean that the program just "defaults" its registry settings, thereby giving the appearance of a new install. My suggestion? Get a hold of the ROM image from the seller and do a "hard reset." This is the one where you force the phone in bootloader mode and reinstall the OS. This is the format and reinstall method we are all familiar with in MS PCs. :D

I think this will force the ROM to reinitialize all the hardware devices on the phone and get you back to square one.

Of course, if you've already done this, then we can finally lay this issue to rest, and call it an irresolvable hardware fault. :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] ronp76:
Colonel,

Your health followed closely by your job are the most important things in your life (next to family). If you keep the flame warm, eventually it will grow again, burn bright and warm your life.

A clean boot usually occurs when the system is started for the first time or after the system has been reset. Some would interpret a clean boot also as what happens when you do a safe boot and selectively load drivers and programs. In essence, by keeping the boot clean or as pure as possible, it becomes easier to see what if anything is causing problems.

A Hard Reset should erase the system or ROM in your case. A Hard Reset can be induced by pushing of certain buttons, which vary from smartphone to smartphone, or by using the Master Clear in the System Settings tab.

Ideally for you, you need to a Hard Reset to bring your ROM back to factory status. This will allow a clean boot. Why? Because a clean boot should not load any drivers or programs that might be causing your problem. You need to be sure that nothing is interfering with the GPS either being found, see or loaded.

Once this is done, you need to set up the GPS. The best recommendation for Windows Mobile is to allow the system to manage the GPS for all programs.

Then the best thing for a GPS is turn it on and let itself be found. This means that the GPS will communicate with overhead satellites and resolve its position.

If I had to rank why I bought my Jade Clone, number one would be its internal GPS chip. From what I have read and seen in many Forums, print and many websites, some smartphones can have problems finding GPS chips. This indicates the importance in setting up the GPS, having WM manage it, turning it on and letting it be found.

In practical terms, when I got my smartphone the first thing I did after it booted was set up the GPS. I set up WM to have it manage the GPS and set the Port where software programs can find it. WM will set the Hardware Port as the actual Port where the GPS is found. The Software Port has to be set to a different Port. Some programs can conflicts with the actual Hardware Port by shutting out other programs from using it. Supposedly by having WM manage the Port, conflicts like this will be eliminated.

Then I installed GPSToggle and used it to turn on the GPS. I patiently waited for the screens I posted here. When I got four green solid satellite locked-on signals, I activated my navigation software program because I knew it now would have no problem finding the GPS.

Success builds on success. Just as keeping a fire lit can lead to a roaring camp fire, following sound procedures in setting up a GPS will lead to having your satnav program working all the time for you.

Give a Hard Reset followed by a clean boot a shot! Good luck, sir!

That's what I have been desperately trying to do, I can't find an English ROM anywhere! :(

I did, no scuccess :(

Here is what I did: I pressed a certain button combination, which caused an image update (see picture). Then I checked the external GPS settings (more pictures). I installed Google maps, no satellites are being found. I installed GPSToggle, turned it on, nothing happend :(

I truely believe it's a hardware problem?!? Anybody know how an internal GPS antenna might look like? I'm ready to open up ther phone ;)
[General Questions and Answers] ronp76:
ColonelZap,

Sorry to hear this. Yes, things and GPSs fail. I really believe yours got reprogrammed. While scouring this Forum the other day, I came across this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=370491

and a utility called enablegps.cab in Post #10 which I attached to this message. You might to try it. I think enablegps.cab was developed here on xda. You can ask there about it as I don't know how this utility came about.

I do know GPSs can be reprogrammed as with WinFastNavigator. You could try to use WFN and reprogram yours to NMEA as per someone's earlier suggestion.

Otherwise, if your phone is still under warranty, I would contact the seller and tell JUST that your GPS cannot be found and you think it is broken.

Good luck again.

Links to Pharos xda threads

Colonel,

I yahoo'd HTC 3470 and learned that your Clone approximates a HTC Pharo. Would you consider that correct and did you buy it because you wanted a Clone of a Pharos? If so, here what the same search on xda found:

http://xdaforums.com/search_rop.php?searchid=30410181

Within xda, there is a subforum for Pharos:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=421

Chances are you did these same searches but it may be possible that your question might get a better answer from within the Pharos subforum. Kind of funny or sad (depending upon your perspective but at the top of the Pharos subforum is a thread called gps doesn't work with 60 replies and lots of views:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=418079

I did a Search This Forum (on right side above thread box) for clone and found this thread (which has no answers yet):

chinese Pharos http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=542564&highlight=clone

It may be possible that there are more Pharos Clone owners just as there is a Jade Clone thread or two in the Jade subforum.

I am not trying to steer you away but right now I am swinging like a young Luke Skywalker and Obi Wan's shaking his head.
[General Questions and Answers] ronp76:
While on the HTC site (looking for a manual for you), I came across this GPS utility program which is like Microsoft's Manage GPS utility setting. It is called GPS Proxy v 2.2 and attached to this message.

The link to HTC's site where this utility can be found is:

http://www.htcdriver.com/index.php?page=gps-proxy-2-2

That pages says:

Simple tool able of forwarding the GPS signal to different ports. When you're build in GPS won't work you can try GPS proxy instead by creating virtual COM ports.

You might give it a shot and see if it resurrects your GPS. Since it is built for ARM phone like ours, in theory it should work.

BTW, on the left side of the margin, you can see links to the manuals. I didn't see yours but I am not entirely sure what mode HTC phone your Clone would be.
[General Questions and Answers] ColonelZap:
You are AMAZING, whenever I'm ready to give up, you come up with something new :)

First of all, the enablegps.cap didn't do anything :(

Then I set the GPS to NMEA, also didn't do the trick :(

I did another clean boot, this time from the system settings.

When I tried to install GPS Proxy, I first got an error message that I need to install

netcf.core.ppc3.arm.cab

first. I googled, I found it, I installed it :-)

I removed GPS Proxy, installed it again, this time it told me:

OpenNETCF.SDF.PPC3.ARM.CAP

was missing :( Googled it, found it, re-installed GPS Proxy, still got the same error message that the OpenNETCF.SDF.PPC3.ARM.CAP was missing :confused:

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG;) GPS Proxy wouldn't start :(

I then removed those two extra CAP files, then FINALLY GPS Proxy started :-)

I created some virtual com ports, tested them in the external gps settings, still no satellites to be found :(

I think I need to face the fact that the GPS antenna simply isn't getting any signals? Maybe it's "just" a loose wire or whatever? :confused:

P.S.: This phone makes me feel DUMB ;)
[General Questions and Answers] ronp76:
Colonel,

I *hate* being beat by a computer. You shouldn't feel so dumb!

I read up about something today on a website that reviews HTC phones and a common complaint seems to arise with a driver called dnsapi.dll - if I caught the drift, which I think I did, the feeling is that in your model and half the other HTC phones something in that driver causes problems for the GPS chip which leads them to fail.

I could cite several threads here on xda where the commonality is dnsapi.dll - I believe it will not do much good to read them unless you like sitting by a fireplace with cognac, a computer and your Pharo Clone.

I hate to be the "one note band" again but, if your Clone is still under warranty, now would the time to contact the seller. I would tell them GPS has failed and nothing you've done has brought it back. If they ask what you did, you used the Mass Clear to reload the GPS and its drivers (nothing more - nothing less) and that's what was recommended to you by a friend.

You've done all you could and then some if you ask me. Now's the time to salute smartly and get on with the healing process of a return. . .

Again, thank you sooooo much for all the efforts you put into my problem, I REALLY appeciate it!

I COULD send this phone back to China but in this case it's probably not worth it ;) I got the phone "dirt cheap", the postage back and forth plus customs would probably exceed it's value?!?

Probably the gps antenna falls off

I have seen in a chinese forum that the antenna of the GPS model in cloned p3740+/p600+ can easily fall off. If you open your phone the antenna is on the top and the short cable is easily seen, which is connected to the top left side of the phone on the connector. Do not just focus on all soft tweeks. Could be misleading.

Unfortunately the Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2 does. Why in the world would you want it? Nothing seems to work with it.. Several of my programs that use bluetooth don't detect anything.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emilbergg:
I'm writing a BT application and I want to be sure that it works also on devices with the Widcomm stack.

Maybe there is a wrapper for the Widcomm stack that let all BT applications be compatible with it?

Why the OEMs use this stack instead of Microsoft's?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andrew-in-woking:
Chip

Hi emilbergg

It's to do with the chip that they use for the device. The Broadcomm chip requires the Widcomm software. Essentially, it's a driver issue. Different chip, different driver. I'm guessing the choice of chip is made on a mixture of functionality and cost.

Cheers

Hi guys,

Since a few days i have a Samsung H1, which runs on LiMo.

So far i didnt find a forum (except for vodafone's own forum) for this phone or its OS.

My previous phone was a Touch Diamond, and i found this forum very very useful. So thats why im asking this question here, because this is the biggest and best forum, as far as i know, when it comes to mobile phones.

Will there be any subforum for LiMo? or the Samsung H1? Because its Linux based, so that means many options/customizing right?

Thanks,

[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
The X1 is actually made by HTC, so it has a HTC bootloader, that can be patched for Hard SPL, SIM unlocks, Sec unlocks, etc.

There is one forum for a non HTC device (one of the smaller forums, I can't recall) that was added in error years ago, and it would be unfair to remove it now.

I cannot connect it with active sync.It´s somehow disabled.

I tried to flash it through bootloader but I can´t.

I´ve disabled usb in active sync, and RUU gives me no connection error.

I can ear the sound in windows that a device was connected but can´t access the device.

I´ve read some posts and followed the instructions but still no success.

Ok

I manage some further steps but still no way to hardSPL the device.

What I did was:

1- Hard reset

2- finally managed to connect with active sync

3- I then runned ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe

4- followed the intructions

5- the PDA reboots to bootloader (and doesn´t connect with active sync)

6- in the PDA it appears usb (in left down corner) and RUU (in rigth up corner)

After that the progress bar doesn´t move and conection is lost (error 302)

After that at least I don´t have to recover:D
