Hello Guys from germany.

Since few days I have the new Eten dx900.

A short review from my side before i ask for my problem.

Its great, all feature works fine..a long list of topics with positiv items...really great.
Three  things  i donot like.
1) very small screen QWERTZ touch field...impossible for me to use only without pen
2)Kamera is very slow...and very often the cam hang up for 10-20 sek.
3) The Operating System WM 6.1  hang up like a pc Windows....sometimes it takes a while ....the screen is frozen....I think the issue is linked to the "mobile  system"
Every time when the mobile done a update of the Provider signal ...the operating system make a short "break"

Feel free to ask me , when you have a question.


Ok.Let tell me my Problem.
TomTom v7 dont find the internal gps signal.
I try in the TomTom software the option built in gps and other nimea gps reciever.
Buad and com i try very much..from 9600-57600
WM6.1 under external Gps i variat the com also , but i take the same values on the tomtom software.
At the moment the setting are:
other Imea Baud 38400 @gps c0m 3

Gps setting :
Program com3
Hardware com5 38400
accsses enable

Everytime when i start tomtom and try to configure the gps status the status goes from No gps hardware to Very weak signal do your are inseide a building?
On this point also the small Led for GPS is on.

I also try a tip ,that you should switch WIFI or Blutooth on , because the mobile device could think that we are in plane and the gps will switch off.
But it doesn't work
Gps viewer works well

Have somebody a solution for me

Please help me.

Thanks in advance

U DON'T have to install extra software to let ur gps working.
First go to Main Menu, Settings, System
Then choose External GPS: Make the GPS Program Port: COM3
an the bottom choose 'access' and make sure the box is checked there
Exit this
Now under System, click
'Enhanced GPS', and turn XTRA ENABLE ON (you can use wifi as the connection)

Now quit everything and open up TomTom7

Hit 'Change preferences' then 'Show GPS Status'

Hit 'Configure'
then 'Other NMEA GPS Receiver'
The GPS BAUD RATE: use 4800
and and choose COM3
Now the screen should say "Poor GPS Reception'
put the phone in some open land for a few minutes and boom youll have 8 satellites connected!
You can turn off the XTRA setting under enhanced GPS now and it will still work.
Hope it works for u
