Help, no GPS!

[gpsawnsers]

Having updated the ROM via HTC's website ( version 1.23.405.103 ) on my P3600 and installing Trinityhacks, I still cannot get the GPS icon to appear ( let alone the GPS itself) in the SETTINGS;SYSTEM menu, it only began to appear in the CONNECTIONS menu after i installed Trinityhacks.

I have 2 GPS programs (one of which is TOMTOM) which are installed and working perfectly, the only problem is that the GPS is not, and i can't figure out why! Please help,

Thanks

You don't need the GPS Setting CPL unless you want to change the default settings, which for most apps shouldn't be necessary.

Make sure in TomTom, you set the GPS prefs to Built-IN GPS Receiver (if you are on V6.03) or Other NMEA Receiver (NOT Other NMEA Bluetooth Receiver) if you use any earlier version.

COM port must be set to COM9 and Baud to 57600.

Once those are set, the GPS screen within TomTom should show a small revolving icon in the upper right part of the screen. Within about 30 seconds, the main screen should change from No GPS Device, to Waiting for a valid Signal. At that point you need to go outside with a clear view of the sky for a 1st fix.

If you continue to get the No GPS Device message, it suggests either the ROM didn't update properly, or there is a hardware fault.

Thank you for your help, It now all works after a hard reset, and have been playing with the GPS ever since. Great fun.

The icon is no problem and it not being there wont affect you much,

If you do want it, the easiest way to display it without modifying the resistry is to install an tweaking application like ' Trinity Hacks v2'. this is an excellant wee application that lets you easily make all kinds of settign adjustments without going into the registry.

If you do a search on the trinity forums its easy to find.

Good Luck!!
