I thought the GPS chipset in the trinity had the assisted GPS functionality. How do you enable this, or get this to work? It doesn't seem to establish a GPRS connection by default.
Thanks

Isn't it simply to add the software (QuickGPS) that the P3300 has included. Read article on P3300: http://www.pdagold.com/articles/detail.asp?a=296
I have a HTC3600, installed the ROM for the DOPOD-version.
Installed TomTom, but it can´t find the GPS.
I´ve tried to install QuickGPS, but does not work (needs .Net Compact Framework).
Tried to install .Net CF, but not successful (does not support this hardware according to MS)
What do I do wrong.
You others in this forum seams to succeeded.

Thanks for the link, i found it ?
Are you serious?
Installing :
1. Transfer the.cab on the 6500 via ActiveSync
2. Double-click on the .cab
3. Then do a soft reset
4. 6500 restarts with a new QuickGPS icon and version 2.03, see capture above

I had the same problem, you need to download the .NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP3 DEVELOPER Redistributable, then manually copy the ARM version CAB file over to your device after extraction and install manually.
I have installed QuickGPS, but it's still VERY slow (over a minute) to get a lock. I don't think it's working. Anyone else got this to work? Do I have to configure TomTom differently?

Sorry, I am getting 'Upload of file failed' when I try and attach the file.
I think this forum may be having some technical issues today. I can't download from the ftp either.
Okay, so I have QuickGPS isntalled and its file downloading worked and it's apparently running. Now what? GPS fixes aren't coming any faster now (though they were working fine, if taking a minute or so, beforehand).

As I have repeated a couple of times in other threads (but the same people keep talking about the benefits of this software so I am not going to argue with them) A-GPS needs to be supported by your network operator. Installing any software will not make any difference if the network doesn't return the necessary information to the phone.

Can you elaborate. I thought it was a simple download every couple of days which anyone with a GPRS/EDGE connection should be able to do. Is there something more to it than that which requires support outside of an internet connection?
Well, it did download whatever files it needed. How do I determine if my operator does A-GPS?

anonimo is correct about A-GPS: It is a service provider dependent and subscription based ($$$) information source that provides data on the position of the GPS satellites that will "assist" the low sensitivity GPS receivers housed in some phones that are far less expensive than our black (or white) beauties. I am quite certain that the Moto Razr doesn't have a Sirf or a Qualcomm GPS-one chipset! Verizon VZ-Navigator is a prime example of such a service.
However, I don't think this thread is titled properly. Quick-GPS has nothing to do with A-GPS. It is simply a program that performs a single download of the most up-to-date data on satellite positions from the internet and uses it to help the GPS receiver reduce TTF. It must be updated about once every 2 days to be of any help. A-GPS, on the other hand, communicates continuously with the "assistance server" through a cellular network (again...$$$) to share the processing load in tracking the GPS sats. Thus, weaker (and less expensive) GPS receivers can be used in the phones which are equipped with A-GPS. Here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia:
"A-GPS differs from regular GPS by adding another element to the equation, the Assistance Server. In regular GPS networks there are only GPS satellites and GPS receivers. In A-GPS networks, the receiver, being limited in processing power and normally under less than ideal locations for position fixing, communicates with the assistance server that has high processing power and access to a reference network. Since the A-GPS receiver and the Assistance Server share tasks, the process is quicker and more efficient than regular GPS, albeit dependent on cellular coverage."
So although I am not sure that the Trinity would not work with an A-GPS service, it is apparent that Quick-GPS can at least reduce TTF for Trinity users!
Aha, that makes far more sense. Thanks for the info, psargent!
I believe Kaiser rely on the Qualcomm chip for GPS. How is the performance. People say good thing about the SIRF III chip. How is the Kaiser GPS compare to the SIRF III? Anyone know?
welll in most cases built in gps arnt as reliable as the actuall thing... they are off sometimes
I guess it may depend on what you want/need to do with GPS.
If I turn it on and run Google Maps, it shows me right in the middle of my house, and that's where I am. If I move from one end of my house to another, I again appear in the right place.
To use GPS do we require to have gprs or 3g data activated.
Or is like integrated FM Radion which doesnt require data connection.
No -- there is a GPS receiver built into the unit that sends NMEA 0183 data over a serial port. You'll probably need map software; any software that works with WM6 and a Bluetooth GPS should do the job (e.g. TomTom 6).
I use Googlemaps and TOMTOM 6 with no problem.
I need to mention that I am a current HTC Trinity owner, and if IF if IF if IF the Kaiser has the same A-GPS chip found in the trinity, then this is what we should expect (from my experience with the Trinity)
1- Initial fix time can take long (sometimes it takes 2 minutes, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes, and sometimes IT NEVER gets a fix and no GPS singal can be found)
2- Once the GPS get a fix, then it works perfectly and flawlessly.
So I only hope that the Kaiser will solve the initial fix problem.
Has it now "normal" GPS or the mobile Version AGPS
I guess you could upgrade your radio to 1.40+ and try again. They said there's a big improvement to GPS fix.
Talking about TTFF, if you are moving, or inside a building, I think it will take longer than usual to get a fix. I live in a really urban area, but once I stand still in an open area, I usually got fix in 2-3 minutes, without exception.
Someone did a test in the Trinity forum - the accuracy of the qualcomm chip is even better than that of the sirf-iii.
However, a major problem though is the lack of a software assisted gps problem that can improve the ttff time. (Though qualcomm said there's one, but until now it's still vapourware.)

I also have the Trinity and can back up the above comments. I have a Sirf III device as well and apart from the Time To First Fix being quicker there is no noticeable difference between the two - both very accurate and don't lose their fixes.

Really interesting. The author of this article think that the Kaiser will have a Sirf-III. Now I think for the first time, we got a device with 2 GPS, a dedicated Sirf-III GPS chip together with a Qualcom integrated GPS.
I would imagine it will greatly increase the accuracy as well as the TTFF
Oh, wait, HTC might disable the Qualcom GPS, and just use the Sirf-III. See what they did to Hermes
Does anyone know how to start the gPS on the Kaiser - I bought one ...but don`t know how to start !
For the lucky people who got their Kaisers already, would you please report your experience regarding the built-in GPS please specially the initial cold fix as it was very slow with the Trinity P3600
TomTom 6.030 does not work, instead you have to install the TT version 6.0.32 from the accompanying CD. The first fix (after QuickGPS ran) was almost instaneaous and a lot faster than on the Athena.
Agreed; and, at least in Google Maps, the position is more accurate than the Ameo.
For batterie Life
Hello,
Can you post hte comment of batterie life when you use the GPS.
For example: the phone
the telephone is load completely (100% full batterie) and when you use 1 hour of gps
how much battery it remains?
Thanks.
Private69.

Pfff TyTN II has 5 to 7 satellites reception on the dinnertable in the living room where the x7500 does not receive anything. Not bad for a Qualcomm GPS that supposedly is less good as the Sirf III ...

Am running 6.030 now!
Don't ask me how or why but it's working fine.
Joe
I now verified that on TT6.030 you have to use "Other NMEA GPS/4800Bd/Com 4: and on TT6.032 you can stay with "Internal GPS"
In any case, TT6.032 with "Internal GPS" the fix is aqcuired a lot faster than on TT6.030
TT6.032 is supplied with the TyTNN II on the accompanying CDRom
(TT6.032 incidentally does not allow itself to be installed on any other device, the installer prevents that, but after installation on the TyTN II, the directory can be copied to for instance the x7500 to replace the old installation there, and it will work fine. My first impression is that also on the x7500 with TT6.032 the fix is faster, but I still need to run the "dinner table test" )
its working fine now after i installed the version on the cd. thanks. my MapKing chinese version also working, GREAT!
When you use tt6.32 from the CD, can you use any tt6 map? or is it locked to 1 map only?
Can you have multiple maps with the tt6.32 from the CD?
Can you confirm that the version supplied with TyTn II i.e., TomTom 6.0.32, is a FULL version ? Licences? or is it a taster and you have to pay to register it as a full version? If it is full, does it come with Great Britain Maps (full) or you have to download them? In case of download, is it free?
Thanks
The CD version of TT 6.032 that comes with the Kaiser is as full as an update one would dowload from TomTom. There is no code. There are no maps either. One can download one area map (f.i. London) for free, but no country or continent maps are added. Those will have to be purchased separately.
If you install it on top of an already installed and registered TT6.0x0, it will not ask for a new code. Any old registration will remain valid.
On another note, sitting side by side in my car, I noticed that the x7500's GPS reception was a lot more consistent then the TyTNN II's. The TyTN II may acquire its fix a lot faster, but on the whole, the x7500's reception is better (even though my "dinner table test" would lead to believe otherwise) and more consistent.
While my x7500 had a permanent reception of 9-10 satellites (albeit with shorter bars) the TyTN II was jumping up and down between 3 and 7 satellites.
I currently use my Hermes in an 'in car' holder, with a bluetooth GPS reciever face up in the window. One thing that I would like to know, is that if I was to get a Kaiser and put it into my car holder, surely the orientation of the GPS reciever inside the Kaiser would be 'end on' to the sky, and the satelites.
This must affect performance?
I got mine this morning. Took me quite a while to get GPS working -- had to do a hard reset. It's now working with Route 66, which I used to use on my Wizard.
GPS data seems a bit bursty -- when I was viewing it with GPSViewer, I'd get a bunch of NMEA strings, then nothing for several seconds, then another burst.
Hum..seems to be same issue than Paul from Modaco :
"The GPS bug seems to occur with some applications whereby the GPS 'data stream' will pause for a few seconds at a time, which makes some apps think the GPS has gone away (e.g. Google Maps) and other apps just update in sudden jumps rather than smoothly." ?
Seems that HTC did not fix it in the final ROM.
Do you know if HTC is aware of this issue and plan to fix it ?
Thanks
don't know if i've encountered the bug but here's my situation: i cannot get the GPS Hardware Port (or COM) settings to "stick" after changing them. for example i can change GPS Program Port and it will stick but changing the Hardware Port and clicking OK has no impact. if i reopen the GPS settings, the Hardware Port shows "(NONE)". and this is after 4 hard resets. funny thing is that is worked when i initially set up my device, then all of a sudden, TT6 was reporting "No GPS Device"... it may be time to pack it up and return it for a replacement... any suggestions would be appreciated.
Update: Followed Paul's (on Modaco) suggestion to leave the default settings and now GPS is working.
Which Navigation programs work in landscape mode???
for those of you with a Tytn II, are you able to modify the GPS Hardware COM port from one setting to another? the fact that mine says "(NONE)" is leading me to believe i have a hardware defective unit. thanks.
Kaiser and mapking 2007
ive tried mapking 07 on kaiser and it doesnt work. It juz cannot pinpoint the location that I am at. I wonder if its the software problem??
I installed TOM-TOM from the HTC CD and it has worked with out problems, even installed US MAPS from another Tom-Tom CD I have from the original version. Only problem so far, once I was using it and received an SMS message and it locked up. Had to restart. Receiving email is fine but the SMS message freaked it out.
Hi, I got an Hp iPAQ 6515e, i am facing problems with the GPS as it is not acquiring satellites. A few months back i used the GPS/AGPS on this device with multiple softwares such as the GPS tuner version 5.1 and Google Maps and it worked just fine, it was after a random turn off at a 20% battery level when i felt like i should reinstall the already installed BIOS 1.21. After that i beleive my GPS does not acquire satellites. The softwares detect the GPS on comm port 7 but then it just goes in to the acquiring satellites mode and regardless of how clear the sky is and how many hours i sit under it i dont get any satellites. 0 inactive and 0 active satellites...I download the ephemeris data or shall i say the Quick GPS connect as well prior to starting any software but the GPS would not acquire anything. I tried HP tech support but it stinks...the best they can do is just ask you to send in your device. I dont mind switching on an older BIOS but am unable to do so as the older BIOS files available at the HP site generate an SKU related error saying these files are not meant for this version of the iPAQ 6515e. Pretty frustrating! i would appreciate any help on this. What i have tried so far is the following.
1. Reset and install the BIOS
2. Hard reset the phone a couple of times
3. Use an older verison of the global locate 2.02 & 1.7 but that did not help
4. Desperately tap HP tech support a couple of times.
Hi,
Hope this is not a dumb question but how do I enable GPS in new Teclast x98 air 64 running Win 10 ? I am in Android and , unlike my old Galaxy P1000, there seems to be no option to turn on GPS. I can't find any reference to GPS in settings or anywhere. Specs say it comes with GPS . Any recommendations for good GPS using satellites rather than phone to save costs once I work this out?
Thanks so much,
Kerry

I have exactly the same problem, do you solve it?
In the Device Manager (Windows 10) there is sensor: Broadcom 4752 Geolocation GNSS sensor and Kionix Sensor Fusion device.Les both work, I think there's a good gps, but it is inactive?
I also installed a compass app and it does not work: no compass sensor Was detected!

GPS enable problem in Teclast Air 64
Hi,
As far as I can tell , GPS comes on automatically when you start a GPS program. I have not tried it in Win 10 but it does appear to work in Android using Sygic or Beonroad. I have been sick and have not been out to test it much so haven't tweaked it yet.
The one time I used Sygic, the screen showed the route but there were no voice instructions so you'd better have a back seat driver who can navigate better than my 82 year old, half blind Dad! Otherwise, pretty useless. But , as I said , I just haven't been able to work it all out yet .
If I get more info or find a better program for GPS, I will let you know. Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Kerry

Hi, I am afraid I don;t know what this revision Z3735F means. Is it an update than can be downloaded?
So far, I am having little success with any GPS apps. I have tried several free ones for android such as Map, Scout, Go, Navigator and Sygic. Sygic was the only one that was even a bit successful but, sometimes it worked and sometimes not.
Some don't recognize streets when typed in and most won't give voice direction or only start voice direction when you are nearly at your destination!
Others start and then act like they are in sleep mode with the screen going black even though I have set the sleep mode to only come on after 30 minutes.
Most are not intuitive. I can't find simple things like add to Favourites very easily or other simple requests. Some of them are not even clear on adding a start and finish point which is surely the whole point of a GPS Sat Nav app!
I live in a very densely treed area but even in very clear areas ,they often do not pick up GPS satellites. I have downloaded all current maps for Australia where I live. I am going to try GPS Essentials said to improve GPS capabilities. I am not hopeful.
Anyone know of any good paid ones that my be better?

No! I have the C5J8 model ... GPS works fine when booted to Windows 10, in fact seems to acquire position very quickly compared to what I'm used to with the many Android devices I use (I'm a passionate user of Osmand+ for navigation). So the GPS hardware is there, you can check it for yourself. In windows go to " Settings - Devices - Connected devices - Device manager " and expand the " Sensors " subheading, and in mine I see:-
Broadcom GNSS 4752 Geolocation Sensor
So it seems we simply need a way for the Adroid 5.0 operating system to connect with it. Sadly, I've NOT been able to root the android system yet to do "dmesg" type stuff yet.
I reckon I'll start a thread to Root the X98 Air 3G C5J8 model, or does someomne here already know how to do it?
Thanks! I will try your suggestions.

Hi Everyone,
You could try GPS Essentials or GPS Status but I doubt that will solve your problem. It will tell you what satellites are available and may have other info that's useful.
I drove around for some hours the other night testing as many free GPS apps as possible . In Android I tred Osmand free, Navmii, Offline Maps,Navfree, Sygic, 2 called Navigator, Maps, Go and Scout.
Most picked up where I was but the menus were so hard to use that I had difficulty even finding where to type in the destination. Some didn't know my town though they recognized my city about 10 kilometers away. In others I could get around this by pinpointing on the map where I wanted to go in my town, but this was not very convenient and it didn't always work.Several didn't give voice commands , others gave crazy voice directions such as repeatedly saying "go left" . Some couldn't navigate me even a few kilometers.
But mostly it was the unintuitive interface. Scout and Sygic seemed the most hopeful but being able to quickly put in a home address and a destination was almost impossible and the same with saving Favorites. Keep in mind I am an older person not up with new tech in Android (or anything new for that matter) but I have a Galaxy P1000 which I still use and I have had it for some time. The GPS in the old Galaxy works,is easy to use, but is woefully slow in picking up a signal especially with cloudy weather,
I have been a Windows user since DOS floppy disk so thought I would try the Win GPS apps . I tried Sygic Beta and PC Navigator free. Again, I found the simplest most basic things such as putting in Starting Point and Destination frustratingly hard , plus much of the above problems that I had with Android.
Also , I doubt you would get very far before running out of battery even using a car charger. I find that, even using the Teclast at home plugged in and charging, it still chews up battery. I am using DU battery saver which has helped . I now need to find a way to stop apps running in the background to see if this helps. But I wouldn't go anywhere with out an Xiaomi large capacity charger bank! I use the Xiaomi 10000mAh Mobile Power.
So all told I am pretty disappointed with the Teclast despite it having some great features and potential. I like the large size but, I am still favoring my smaller Onda tablet and wishing it had a good GPS.
The upshot of all this is I went and bought a cheap Tomtom car navigator and it is easy to use and works great.
But I am still open to any suggestions. Maybe the paid Osmand plus may work better, but at this stage I am tired of trying to get any GPS on this tablet to work.
Hope you guys who may be more experienced using new technology have better success.
Thanks,
Kerry

Hi,
I bought few weeks ago the same model from Gearbest. And I have the same problem. Where did you find GPS sensor in Android settings? In W10 i can see it, but in A5.0 I don't.
Same problem here. I got my X98 Dual yesterday.. installed mirek 6.1 ... and no GPS.
anyone who has a working gps either win10 or android 5?
Mine C5J8 too, Win10 has an installed driver GNSS 4752 but I don t know how it can be used, on Android I dont have GPS icon to switch on...?!
