QUOTE(robertut @ May 4 2009, 10:56) *
iGO8 v8.0.0.55127 does detect the device, but can't tune the frequency. With beta1 it shows 0.0 MHz, with beta2 it sticks to 87.5MHz, left/right arrows don't move the frequency, autotune either.

...me too. then i got it working late one night and just can't remember what i did...sooooo many combinations. anyway, di you get any luck?



Ok so far i tried a couple of versions of igo, and on only 1 of them tmc worked, all the others game me the same problems as you guys. Igo finds the device, but it just won´t tune frequencys.
iGO 8.3.2.64029 and 8.3.2.124260 didn´t work.
The one that did work was /iGO8.3.4_117940_FullResolution_480_800 but i had problems with portrait mode.
Does anyone have a solution, of why the ohter igos don´t tune frequencys?

The TMC software works fine on my Omnia, but I can not search any channel in iGO8 besides the first one 87.5 Mhz. If I tap the arrows (after I deselect the automatic search, which by the way do nothing) nothing happens, no frequency change, no search whatsoever.

Any help?

Hi Beamrider, i have created the antenna connector using your pin out from your previous TMC post successfully. I also have the audio routed through the main speakers as im not using any earphones.

I would like to ask is there a way that i can bypass the earphone check using those pins? The reason why i ask is cause i am trying to use the Radio app through the connector i made. I have the antenna ready but it wont allow the software to run due to this check. I remember you mentioning that you disabled the ear check in your tmc app, is there a reg setting or something? I have tried connecting pin 2 (GND) to pin 10 (EAR_CHECK) but the phone wont disable the earcheck. Any ideas ?

Anyway this is what i have done at the moment.

Im using the 3.5mm jack adaptor, i then opened the connector up and pulled out the pins and reconnected to pin 1 and 2. Thats it.....
The reason why i am using this connector is cause i had a spare car tv antenna which works perfect as the antenna has a 3.5mm jack

My next mission is to connect the antenna to the car charger. This should be really easy as i just need to open the car charger connector and connect my ready made antenna to pins 1 and 2 of the car charger.

I know its been a while but i have been debating tmc and charing issue and came across this post. Nice work.
Instead of trying to take the connector from a standard car charger, I had a look at a multi phone car charger that i got from 3 shop.
It provides a easy access to the connector.
Attaching the picture for anyone interested.  Got it for a £10. Now need to decide whether to add a 3.5 jack or just a retractable cable


The FM pin is shorted but should be easily separated from GND by solding iron.

Will there be any update or final Version of this tool for the Omnia i900? It would be great if it works like HyperGps (including HGPS_Switch functionality).

Hi, it's long time I don't write here and, after some days of toughts abot OmniaTMC future I decided to prepare an update for i900 that includes the new MS development  certificates (old one expired on dec 2009) that should help people having problems with installation and a fix for a very annoying bug on the tuning part (I couldn't belive on my eyes when I saw it ) that should help on stabilize TMC reception. I would also like to refactor some of the GPS-TMC serial emulator but I can't promise much.

The "bad" news is that I moved from i900 to i8000 and I can't really test the update (that's why I wish to keep low-level stuff stable) and I will need help and patience from the community for bugs and regressions... The "good" news is that an i8000 is on the schedule and will began as soon as the i900 update will be released for testing. For the i8000 I need to start over the whole FMRadio driver reverse-engineering/wrapping that is a very long and time consuming task. Hopefully I will find some good news inside the new code to support raw RDS data ... we'll see,

Cheers

EDIT: 0.9.5.1 had a "minor" regression and has been removed. Since I don't want to spread bugs on you devices, from now on I'll send unofficial versions directly via email to anyone interested. Please PM me with your email.

Ok, here it is the first unofficial 0.9.5.x release. As I wrote in my last post I don't have the i900 anymore so it's up to you to test the installation and the fix included. Installation and usage is unchanged from 0.9.4.1 but carefully read the changelog below and, as I always recommend, do a device backup before installation!!!

Changelog from 0.9.4.1:

-- signed all packages with the new MS SDK certificates (valid up to 2015). This means that the old certs.cab expired too and  should be replaced with a new one. Take a look here --EDIT-- the right cab is attached two posts below!

-- fixad an annoying precision bug in tuning function that sometimes lead to tune to slightly different frequency from required one and thus loosing TMC reception.

Please report any issue with logs (here or via pm/email) so we can move to the  official release!! Thanks!!

Cheers

Someting is wrong with the new certs cab from the link I posted (soem certs are missing, but I'm not an expert on this matter), would you mind to try with the one attached on this post?

Source is: Windows Mobile 6 SDK TEST-ONLY Certificates: new CAB and XML Provisioning

Thanks

Fine ... keep me posted and pls take a log so I can check the tuning fix (a session is just enough!)

EDIT: since I was off-board for long time and I just noticed the good work made by by phj on the i8000, the porting of OmniaTMC to Omnia II becomes a waste of time. If phj agrees, I will port my i900 low level driver to be compatible with his work and HyperGPS.

well, maybe it's my issue but frequency is always at 0.0 Mhz and sometimes autosearch keeps on even if a TMC station is tuned.
Igo auto or manual tuning seems that is ignored. I'll send you log of a failed session

I see ... It's a regression from last fix and, thanks to the logs you sent,  it has been quite simple to catch.
I have the 0.9.5.2 ready but, since I don't want to distribute broken code anymore I will send it directly to who's interested in testing.

[olnima]

For me installation and following procedere works without any problems (tested only at home, will test it again when driving in my car on weekend and post results here at the beginning of next week): Start->tune to station with tmc-messages->end->start igo. Frequency in igo is tuning automatically, messages are comming in, everything as it should.

Thanks again,
Olnima

[myso]

Hi all,

I'm successfully using the 0.9.4.1 version, but it seems to drain my phone battery very quickly, so I'd like to test the newest one (I suppose 0.9.5.2), could someone possibly email it to me? Thx [email protected]

statement from beamrider I will not sent the beta 3 to anyone.
I'm sure beamrider will answer You soon but it's not my part to do things for him that he wants to do himself.

Sorry,

Thanks for beingo so kind ....

I've just sent the new version to all users asking for. Actually I'm in UK to test some hardware and I'm in a lab almost all day, hotel is nice but with poor WiFi signal. This means some delays in answering until the end of august, with september I'll be back at home
