For IGO8 there no need for this fix, i always use igo8 without problem "straight out of the box".

Yeah, no probs.. Just make sure that IGO is set to look for the GPS in port3, it should work ok.. I've never had any problem on any rom :)

Hi

I have done all the tricks/tweaks under the sun and finally i have managed to get my Omnia2 working with tomtom version 7.917.9186 without any splitters etc

It is on set up for com 2 but i have to set it up via "other nmea receiver".

baud rate is 4800.

I have done a few registry hacks.

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\gpsintermediatedriver\samsunggpshardware\inputbuffer=1024

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\gpsintermediatedriver\samsunggpshardware\outputbuffer = 512

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\gpsintermediatedriver\samsunggpshardware\retrywaitonerror= 0

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\gpsintermediatedriver\samsunggpshardware\sleeponnodata=0

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\gpsintermediatedriver\multiplexer\maxbuffersize=20480

I hope this will be of some help.

Hi all

Works great on omnia 2 with WM 6.5.

Install latest version 2.10 of GpsModdriver in the device and it will tell you what port to use (my case port 4).

I'm using Ndrive with internal samsung default GPS and TOMTOM using GPSmod by selecting GPS NMEA.

Thanks

Where do you get TomTom?

Has anybody tried typing in *#1472365# into their Omnia2?

It brings up some extra gps settings, some of which are similar to settings that can be reached in registry but some are unique.

The main one that was of interest to me was the start up mode of GPS.

Mine was set to cold start which meant that every time i started my tomtom it did so by deleting all previous data.

This meant i was on a cold start each and every time i used it which was why it took forever to lock sometimes.

I have now changed this setting to "hotstart" and my locks are instant.

There are various other settings that can be played with and tried out but this setting alone got rid of the only flaw i could find in the Omnia2.

Please see post 95 in the following thread for my registry settings which give me a very fast fix with excellent accuracy.

*#1472365# also works on i900 :P

[Guest xhans]

Excellent post I can finally get tomtom to work on my I900.

Steps i took were as follows

• Install the gps driver mod
  
• soft reset
  
• Run gps driver mod
  
• Press Menu / System
  
• Uncheck all radio buttons, set sleep time to 100
  
• press save
  
• Wait to see if gpsmod can see and fix satelites
  
  Then I opened up TomTom and completed the following
  
  • change preferences
    
  • show gps status
    
  • Configure - Other NMEA GPS Receiver
    
  • GPS Baud Rate - 57600
    
  • Com Port 1
    
  • Wait 30-40 sec for the satelites to show up and fix position
    
  • click done
    

  Then I was able to use tomtom correctly. I think you have to run gpsmod each time the phone is reset / powered down.

[Guest tarpis]

It works marvelously. Thanks for the contribution. Greatly appreciated.

G R E A T !!!

registry settings (1. post) work great on my omnia 2 for tomtom and igo8

T H A N K Y O U

[Guest Posturas]

Hi all!

The registry settings also worked great on my i8000.

Thank you very much!

However, I'm curious:

Anyone knows what does "SleepOnNoData" do?

If SleepOnNoData==0, will the GPS be always awake?

Once more, thanks! :huh:

[Guest msmeB7610]

HELP!

I've changed my registry setting a few months ago and tomtom worked perfect on my B7610.

Unfortunately since yesterday i can't get any reception anymore, it is searching but can't get a fix.

I read on handy-faq.de that someone else has the same problem on exactly the same date!?!

Perhaps samsung has changed something, i don't know.

Please help.

[Guest melburnian]

Hey guys

There is a new GPSModDriver released, version 260 as well as a killDriver program.

i installed the moddriver but dunno whats happening... any help you could bestow upon me?

Thanks

[Guest Pigot]

Well many thanks, 'cause it works for me on my i900 using DXIA5/DXIF1 (ROM/PHONE) on customROM by steff195

First of all, I've not installed gpsmoddriver, I've only modified my device Registry as explained below.

According to other similar instructions on the Internet, it's also canceled the recording of log files by modifying:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver

MaxLogFileSize give a value of 0

OldLogFile clear path and filename

CurrentLogFile clear path and filename

After a soft-reset, I've tested the embeded utility by typing *#1472365# on the dialpad, and made a try on TomTom 7.910.xyz (other NMEA GPS), and TaDaa...

For those testing often new cooked ROM (as I do), here is my trick to make it simple, by recording all usefull registry modifications in a .reg file

1) Install Tascal RegEdit (TRE), or any similar program

2) Choose to 'import' i900_GPS4TomTom.reg content to your i900 Registry

3) Soft reset or, restart your device

4) Excuse my poor english skill

5) Enjoy!

I attach a Rar archive enclosing TRE + i900_GPS4TomTom.reg... even simpler ;-)

Finally got tomtom to work on my B7610, super!

A few remarks

- when tomtom is working the phone is getting really hot, so hot that it can, perhaps, damage the phone.

- it sometimes takes a while to get a fix, ca. 10 min.

- it seems not so accurate, i've already done all the reg. changes.

Is there a solution for these remarks.

[Guest scaie]

So... I've been using the i900 for two years now, used Steff's rom, now recently cooked a nice original 6.1 dutch version (too bad it starts up with a horrible t-mobile screen with even more annoying sound). I just need that optic fingermouse to browse sites and be extra precise. Anyways. So I'm back on 6.1 using the DXIF1 radio. Next up: GPS.

So I've got iGO8 and TomTom 7 Version 7.915.9196 (bit of a struggle to get those maps to work, but I figured it out), but now I'm stuck with no reception apparantly.

I get a proximate guess at startup and then suddenly loses everything. Did everything exactly the way it was described in the openingpost. Messing around with ports, but no joy.

Curious if there are any more suggestions. It's been a long night. I'll try again during the day, maybe these late hours just cracked me up. :(

[Guest lotuxete]

Hi,

I'm having problems with TT7 7.917 & Omnia 2. I've successfully installed TT7 and GPS Mod Driver 3.20. TT7 can find gps satellites really fast, but after it works very laggy (slow). I mean... it show my position in map only every 1-2 seconds. In consequence driving became quite hardly with TT.

I've tried almost everything. I've activated Xtra, I've made some registry tweaks, I've change the COM port, speed, etc., but TT7 is always very laggy. The programmer of GPS Mod Driver said that it's a problem of the TT gps management, and there is no solution. In his words: "TT will be always laggy".

Anyway in this threat I can read that TT7 works well for you on Omnia 2.

¿Any Help?

Thanks.

[Guest andrew.mazlim]
