[TG01 General] zar1967:
Did some testing with GPSGate today as more and more people recommend it to me.

When I installed it last time the GPS-receiver picked up no satellites at all - even after a wait of up to 30 minutes and under open sky!

This time there were no problems at all. Maybe this has something to do with Nokser's WM-build or the radio version. No idea yet.

Step by step:

- installed GPSGate with GPS-receiver pointed to COM 2

- removed [gps]-command from SYS.TXT

- started iGO8 and pointed GPS-receiver to COM 2

- GPS-receiver was detected, satellites were found

- restarted iGO8 to see if hangups/crashed would occur, but no problems there

Every time I restart it will work properly.

The only thing I have to test yet is how it behaves over a longer period, outside the city and at higher speeds!

Conclusion:

Looks like iGO8 is responsible for the troubles and this should be pointed out to Nav'N'Go ASAP so that they can do something about it!

In the meantime, using GPSGate seems to be an ok-solution and it's really not too expensive if other problems with GPS-detection/reception are also fixed by it.

Regards!
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
Yes, but try using Google maps or Tomtom after Igo.
[TG01 General] zar1967:
Let me get this straight: Even with GPSGate installed and running, only iGO8 will "lock" the GPS-serial once you used it? If you use e.g. the combination of TomTom, Google Maps and iGO8 - in that order- it will work? But if you start and use iGO8 first, the other two won't without restarting the phone?

Hm. Interesting. But also pointing again towards iGO8 as the culprit for the problem!

Regards!
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
Yes! GPS programs work happily all day long one after another (the ones I use anyway), once Igo8 has been used nothing else will work again till a reset (though Igo8 will continue to work).
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
2 things of note, I am currently running IGO8 Ver 8.3.2.124260 (Dec 16 2009), does anyone know where to get the latest *cough* version for testing reasons? :p

Secondly no matter what port I set IGO to (1 to 9) IGO finds the GPS on everyone of them!.....??

So is it the phone or the IGO version at fault?
[TG01 General] Pere:
GPSGate allows to use two or three (even more depending the memory usage) GPS dependent software AT THE SAME TIME. For instance you can use Igo and grab your itinerary on COMPE GPS simultaneously!!

(Remark: I'm not a GPS Gate employee :D)

Best Regards
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
Yes but it is used for other reasons on the TG01 as in the fact it is needed for Tomtom to find a GPS device, and also you are still going off the topic of IGO killing access to the GPS device, GPSGate has been used for an example and testing.
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
Well got a newer Igo8, makes no difference, Igo just seems to lock down all the ports, something of note with this is my com port for GPS is set to 8, GPSGate moves it to 4, yet Igo just seems to work whatever port it is set to, in my current case 0 (no virtserial line either).
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Sincerely, I don't get your point (even I tried):

1. you want to use IGo no matter what, therefore you don't need another app like gpsgate;

2. you want to use IGo and/or other gps apps, therefore you have to use(no doubt about, from my point of view) a dedicated app like gpsgate, gpsmod, gpsplex (as far as I know there are some well-known compatibility issues between certain gps apps sharing same gps port, i.e. Igo and the rest, but this is just an example).

Cheers!
[TG01 General] n0cturn:
I have also noticed that igo8 locks access to the gps port, the solution i use to save soft resetting the phone is to use the microsoft gps port program (settings/External GPS), change the port to a different com, exit and straight away change it back again. I find this unblocks the port and makes it accessable again!

It must be a problem with igo because Ive used just about every other gps program around and only igo gives this problem. Even when using gpsplex/gpsgate and the best one... gpsmod, igo blocks the com port.
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Never encountered this one...
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
The point is Igo (as others have understood and experienced) and only Igo, once used stops all other GPS programs seeing/accessing the GPS device, as said only a soft reset (or the new idea just mentioned) cures the issue, google maps, tomtom, gpsgate etc all work happily one after the other.
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Oh, I see...

And you're looking for a definitive solution of the matter, I suppose...

Good luck!

All greetings.

Used FFBOY'S ROM WM6.5 21908+Manila20161332 ROM with Radio Version 5005.1600.05

But don't work gps. Used GPSGate (GPD9--to Franson COM2 "OK")

How configured gpsgate for working garmin and navitel.
[TG01 General] touaregci:
Thx

Thx a lot,work for me!
[TG01 General] zupermann:
I installed the gpsgate and the i turned on igo. I didn't test it on the road but it seems to works fine. I turned off igo and i opend ndrive. The ndrive connected to the gps normally without problems. My prodlem is that i have to start the gps gate every time i turn off and turn on the devise. Is there any function for gpsgate in order to run automatically every time? I installed gps mod driver also and no problem
[TG01 General] iPAQ 6515a User:
Had the same problem ie. iGO8 could not connect/detect gps in my HD2 so I edited system.ini in iGO8\save

[GPS]

port="4"

baud="38400"

that's it

How did I come up with the port and baud data?

Run iGO, get to the settings of GPS, untick 'enable', choose autodetect, if your bluetooth is off, turn it on now, iGO will detect the GPS, memorize the port number and baud rate. Edit system.ini accordingly
[TG01 General] DeeJay05:
maybe old thread , but i have the easyest answer :)

no software is needed for managing the ports :)

only start->settings-> system -> external gps -> switch gpd9 to com2 or some other com u wish , then all navi software will run without problems :)

tested with sygic , tomtom , copilot , navigon :)

Hi has anyone noticed this? Every time I lock/unlock refresh, close a program etc on my HD2 the top bar seems to cause a delay whilst the default clock is hidden and replaced by the battery indicator. Is there a way to fix this?
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
Ok, the idea is (given it needs someone with the tech know how) is for giving the TG01 more program memory, would it be possible to set aside some of a memory cards space, be it as a (hidden)partion etc and make the (cooked)rom address it as normal system memory?

I say this as with my current rom by FFboy, once a few things are installed such as CHT the sys mem is little more than 40 meg after a restart, I understand the process of addressing memory areas but no clue how to code etc :P

Call it a daft idea but was just a thought to improve the only part letting the TGO1 down for me :)
[TG01 General] Jonous:
Try FFboy's 6.1 rom, plenty of speed and stability, plenty of radios to choose from, plenty of ram left after manilla installed, about 80mbs or more if you skip the phone skin part of sense (i think it eats 10mbs or so). CHT needs about 10-15 more if i recall correctly. Still you're left with more that 60mbs which is good considering the 6.5.x roms...

I'm getting a new SD card, only 8GB, but it's what I can afford.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clickwir:
Followup time...

I just got my 8GB card. I am using Kubuntu so things are different.

I hooked up my Nexus One running Froyo to my PC and enabled USB. I then went into my file manager (Dolphin) and made a new directory where I wanted to backup my current card to. Then I enabled hidden files (so it shows anything like .folder that would normally be hidden because of the . in front) and then just copied over. When it was done, I plugged my USB card reader with my new 8GB card into the USB. It came up as an empty device, enabled hidden again just to be sure, then copied over.

After that, I powered off my phone, took out the old 4GB card, put in the new 8GB card and booted up. Everything is there. All my pics and music are there, along with the apps I moved to the SD card via the settings -> applications menu.

The only thing I noticed different, I had to go back and re-set my gmail notification sounds, because I was using ones on the SD card, not the internal ones. Other than that it was fine.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom4469:
Been lurking for a while and reading up on rooting and flashing roms. Picking up my Evo tomorrow and I am going to root and flash a custom rom then. I have all of the necessary files downloaded and have read over TheBiles instructions numerous times. My question is on Section I Step 4 when I download unrevoked do I need to be concerned about downloading the correct version of unrevoked? I know that changes have been made to that app to allow more of a "complete" root but I am not interested in rooting that way. I just want to follow the guide provided by TheBiles so I want to make sure that I am downloading the proper version of unrevoked.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
I'm not really sure about the changes to Unrevoked. I followed The Biles method a week or two ago and it went just fine using Unrevoked. I'm not even sure that it's actually Root. I think all it does is allow superuser access temporarily to allow you to backup your phone prior to actually rooting.

Once you've done the backup using Titanium Backup (and you aren't going to even need that on a fresh phone) it wants you to reboot into the phones recovery system and flash the actual firmware/whatever update that roots the phone.

So, long post made short: I think you can skip the Unrevoked part and go directly to flashing PC36IMG.zip. But I'm not 100% positive.
[Desire General] sanderh:
I just bought a program called Remote Desktop Client (by Xtralogic) and installed it.

However, when I tried to connect to my work, I get a notification 'Socket Is Not Connected'. I called the helpdesk of my work and they say it is not possible to have the server running on my mobile device......

The address I m trying to connect to is 172.20.20.20 with domain 'flexinet.local'. I used the correct username and password.

Maybe you guys can help me on my way?
[Desire General] Aitese:
First...I wouldn't go sticking those IP details up for the world to see. I'm sure it's safe enough but still. Next, have you checked not only the IP but the ports are correct? Then you should ensure that those ports are forwarded from the external domain you're connecting to.

Another thing you may want to check is if this app needs the prefix, i.e. http://YourDomain.com etc.

Lastly...are you attempting to connect from outside the network? Are you connected to the network via WiFi or are you attempting to connect via 3G from a remote location?
[Desire General] MadMic:
172.20.20.20 is a private address... 10.x.x.x, 192.x.x.x and 172.16.x.x to 172.30.x.x are private ranges and not valid on the internet - you'd need the external ip address or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN)... RDP uses port 3389 (if it's not been changed on the server) so your firewall will also need to be open and the transport you use to connect will also need to allow 3389 (WIFI / 3G)...

That is assuming you're trying to get to your server from outside your local network...

I did have a thought that maybe the signature part of the gig resided in a part of the RUU that isn't in the ROM.ZIP and that maybe that is why it is failing. Alas, I have no idea if that is the case or not. If it is the case, I will need advice as to how to make the phone connect to the USB so that I can use the RUU.EXE - which screen would be best etc.

If using it as a theme for CM5, they can be changed in spare parts.

If making the theme from source you'll need to change the hex colors in

http://www.htcphones.net/htc-magic-to-get-froyo-2-2-update/

so correct me if im wrong... but if the htc magic gets official android 2.2 does that mean the amazing developers here are going to have a field day with it and make it even better and more customizable than the actual creators of it?

I sure hope so :D would love to have a nice custom rom with 2.2 that works and with tons of bonus stuff pre installed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Maybe you haven't noticed, but the amazing developers here are having a field day since the froyo source was dropped in to AOSP a few days ago. CM6 should be just around the corner.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sike89:
i know they are already playing with it, but with a copy from the actually phone i imagine it would be easier to mod and play with since they dont have to port and do all kinds of ridicules things to get it to work on another phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Remember that the 32B Magic is the ION/ADP2, everything you need to get a fully working ROM is supplied in the AOSP. What you're suggesting is probably more relevant to devices like the Hero. At any rate, we'll probably see CM6 or some other froyo ROM before a shipped one.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obones:
Hello all,

I'm trying to remove the bootsound for my Desire and so followed the instructions in thread 675580, page 3 (can't post direct URL because I'm a new user)

I replied there saying it does not work but after rereading carefully, I think it's because I tried the command while not being in recovery mode.

I then went around and read a few threads to figure out how to enter this mode. I thus followed the instructions in thread 6710092, reply number 4 in the part about "How to flash ROM".

I can get up to step 6 just fine. I even have the black screen with red triangle showing up. I then try the next step, that is running "recovery-windows.bat"

Unfortunately, adb-nilezon says it did not find any device and so errors out in the three steps inside the batch file.

The only option that I was able to find to get back the phone in a workable state was to remove the battery.

I noticed a behavior of the phone that is not mentioned in the above thread, so maybe I did not do something right.

In Step 5, right after I plug the desire to the PC, Windows says it has found a new device and complains it could not find the driver. I tried to have it search for drivers, but it could not find anything and thus aborted the install.

Along with this, in step 6, right after I press the power button to select Recovery, the phone seems to "reboot" as it shows the white HTC boot screen and it vibrates.

Is it possible that I am missing a part of the correct install?

I read all replies to the mentioned tutorial thread, some users have the same problem so I created a Gold card, which I believe I did right. But this did not change my situation.

When not in recovery mode, I'm able to use USB Debugging to connect to the phone and send my test applications via adb just fine.

Many thanks for your time and patience

I'd rather not root my device if I don't have to, for the time being that is.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Recovery-windows.bat won't work unless you are rooted. The screen with the red triangle isn't actually recovery mode. The .bat file you would run pushes the recovery to the phone.

If you are not going to root, then you can get an app from the market that puts your phone on silent as you switch it off, and then back to normal when it's booted. This disables the boot sound. It's called silent boot I think.
