Guest IZIIZI Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I have managed to get TT7 running on mine also. I used a naughty version from a torrent - I wish manufacturers would released programs / updates to their software in time for release of new phones. It would stop a lot of playing around and for 60 quid I would rather have given them and saved my many hours fiddling. http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=1...mp;#entry743051 use the above link to get tomtom running really well!

Guest Geronymous Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 About 10 seconds for me (without gate that is) Hi blackhorse, can you confirm the GPS settings you are using? I would like to get this to work without GPSGate if possible... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CoolHotCold Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 ???? I've been using com Port 3, Baud band 4800 on other NMEA and it picks up satilites fine without having to use any other programs... Picks up 2 to 3 (lockable) satilites inside my house (bottom floor, stone walls) within a minute... and it picks up a good 15 outside in 10 seconds... Tis like what Paul saidm Use com 3 and baud 4800 on TT7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unclesomebody Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Just to clear up the confusion... There are a number of versions of TT7 floating around the internet, and they are not all the same. Some of them work just fine with the inbuilt omnia gps and other's don't, which is why people are using gpsgate. Perhaps when there is a legal copy for sale you can be sure it will work on your omnia without any problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im am using both Garmin Xt and Tomtom 7 without GPS gate runs fine on internal GPS. make sure you use these settings: External GPS Settings : Program tab : COM2 Hardware : COM9 @9600 Access : enable the checkbox Tomtom : Other NMEA GPS @4800 on COM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest unclesomebody Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 A quick tip for those trying to get their tomtom settings to work with the internal gps... Perform a soft reset when you've changed all the settings. Mine wasn't working, but after a soft reset it picked up a number of birds and is working fine now.

Guest betto1 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hi Paul, I'm using garmin xt on my omnia, because is the one who runs maps from argentina, but I found that it takes to much time to find the satellites. Can you tell me how to set up the coms, I've in com 3 the software and com 9 the hardware, and have the rom g3. Thanks Alberto No need for GPSgate, just use 'Other NMEA GPS' at 4800 on COM3.

Same settings as above (COM3, 4800) What I have noticed is that, even without GPSGate, and outside, I get a fix after "exactly" 10 seconds after soft-resetting the Omina, and same happens if I try a while thereafter... but if I try again hours later (after having used the Omnia for other stuff), it does NOT get a fix anymore, not even after 2 minutes or so (it does see satellites, but at "zero" strength")... it just stays at "Poor GPS reception". If I then soft-reset the device, it picks up again a good signal after 10 seconds! Strange, isn't it? Besides, the GPS seems to affect the time within TomTom... it keeps increasing the time at random intervals it seems. Anyone experiencing the same as a I am? Or even more important... anyone NOT experiencing this (and in that case, any chance you can specify FULLY the TT version)? :D (Why are these TT guys not bringing up new WM versions??? Now they are "forcing" people to get "special" releases...) Edited September 1, 2008 by Geronymous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they are "forcing" people to get "special" releases...) Yep Tomtom is having issues and similar to this is Destinator and R66, after a certain time they just cant lock on to satelites(even with GPRS), but one is working all the time everytime for me and even without any GPRS settings... iGO8, however, it 'only' works with the SIM in the phone. I locked satelites around 3 mins first time and then 10 seconds there-after, Note that if you softreset then the lock will take 3 mins again. On a brighter note there is an Omnia released with Tomtom preinstalled so lets hope we can either buy it or What are others thoughts on Tomtom and why it stops working after a time?

Guest Neil5459 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Are there any power saving utilities installed on the Omnia? Some utilities like Pocket Toolman include the option to turn off hardware devices after a set time; if the GPS receiver is being turned off, then maybe some apps have trouble turning it on again? I saw a similar issue with my Diamond. For some unfathomable reason, iGO kept reporting GPS Disconnected then reconnected after a few seconds. I eventually checked Pocket Toolman and saw the Power Save screen I'd previously ignored! Removed PTM, soft reset and all was well again :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that it is, thanks. EDIT: Unfortunately it doesnt seem to be the Power Save, Ive tried all tt7 versions that I could find and get the same result, Tomtom connects 3-4 times no probs then it just stops working!

Guest mutant04 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Besides, the GPS seems to affect the time within TomTom... it keeps increasing the time at random intervals it seems. After messing around with various settings, I finally got my Tom Tom 7 to work. I too find that the time keeps increasing at random intervals, usually about an hour forward???? I found that if you turn the Omnia so its landscape, then turn is back again to portrait, it seems to re-adjust the time back to the correct time.... strange.

Guest mashimus Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 For some reason, I still can't get TomTom 7.450 (9028) or 7.450 (9030) to pick up a GPS signal. I left everything default: COM3 / COM9 4800 Baud, and in TomTom: 'Other NMEA GPS' at 4800 on COM3. But I can never pick up a signal. It's always "Poor GPS Reception"... ;) My question is... people using 7.450.9030, did you "upgrade" from 7.450.9028 with one file? ... I can only get TomTom to work with GPSGate... am I missing something... ? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
