GPS gate causing slowdown/hang

[Guest pdaphonemaster]

Hi all.

I am using GPSgate 2.5. When it is running sometimes it causes the system to slowdown drastically after coming out of standby. Any button press/screen touches will have up to 1-2 minute delay and eventually there is no response (hangs). Only resetting will rescue this. Exiting GPSgae before setting to standby is the only solution I found.

I now use GPSgate only when I need it instead of having to run on startup, and exit it when not needed. I tried version 2.6 but same issue. I experienced this problem with rom DXHG4 and DXHI1.

Anyone having similar issues?

If you are using GPSGate for TT7, you may want to consider using GPSPlex instead... much smaller program (50K) and gives the same functionality! Works fine for me!

As the software is in Spanish, here some step by step instructions I wrote for someone else:

This is the link to download the file: http://www.maicas.net/gpsplex/gpsplex.zip

Copy GPSPlex.cab to your i900 and run from there to install.

Open the application and click on GPS (bottom left). Click on "Seleccionar GPS" and then on "GPS Local". Leave 4800 and if you have your GPS Program setting pointing to COM3, choose COM3 here as well (even if it says "no instalado"). Click on "Aceptar" and then OK. Now it should show at the bottom COM3->COM7. After a while you should get a lock and see coordinates.

Minimize GPSPlex by clicking on the X or menu GPS, "Ocultar GPS". If you now open TomTom, you will see a port COM7 in your GPS settings. Choose that one and off you go!

Next time you open GPSPlex you will see it starts up and minimizes automatically. Don't forget to close GPSPlex after having finished with TomTom, otherwise your GPS will stay on. You can close by clicking on the icon at the right bottom of your today screen (like with GPSGate) and then GPS, "Salir de GPSPlex".

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your quick respose. Yes, I need it for TT7. I will give the GPSplex a go and report the results.

I make some modification to script for gpsgate to work with gpsplex:

if (ProcExists("GpsPlex.EXE") = 0)

Run("\Programmi\GpsPlex\GpsPlex.EXE")

endif

if (ProcExists("TomTom Navigator.exe") = 0)

Run("\Programmi\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe")

else

Show("TomTom Navigator")

endif

sleep(20000)

while (WndActive("TomTom Navigator"))

sleep(5000)

endwhile

sleep(1000)

PowerOff

sleep(2000)

Run("\Programmi\GpsPlex\GpsPlex.EXE")

sleep 500

SendLeftSoft

sleep 200

sendUp

sleep 200

SendCR

sleep 200

Naturally you must change the file target
