Omnia i910 - GPS External Settings probem.... HELP!

[Guest amreboot]

After reading and searching I have found that I need to have the following settings for my GPS after the rom update...

External GPS

Program Port - COM3

Hardware Port - COM9

Baud Rate - 4800

(CHECKED) Manage GPS Automatically (recommended)

After doing that, I hit OK and when I go back in there Hardware Port is put back to (None) everytime.

What can I do to fix this?

You don't need to set the external GPS settings at all. If you need to make any changes then you will do it in the GPS program. Most programs will search and find it on their own, others you can set to Com 8 and a baud of 57600.

This is kind of old so figured I could post here cus I didnt know where else to.

I flashed with much success and am trying to run a trial version of garmin xt but I do not have the External GPS setting in my settings?

Do I need something else?

I used the Leaked Rom.

Thanks in Advance

you do NOT need the external GPS settings AT ALL. What you need to do is, after flashing the leaked ROM, go to Start>Settings>Phone>Services>GPS>change settings and put location to ON. Click okay, soft Reset, click ok again and that is it.

You know, I had better luck setting my GPS using the 'External GPS' control panel applet, which can be reached by editing HKLM/ControlPanel/GPS Settings/ and renaming Redirect to Default. No reset necessary.

TomTom found my GPS and picked up birds right away without needing to access it, but iGo had better luck when I did modify the settings...

GarminXT to be tried tomorrow...

Ok,

Thanks! Ill try the registry after work today.

The garman program says "server could not process request. Please contact customer support"

Could this have to do with it being a trial version?

Thanks again

thats not even a GPS problem...

the EXTERNAL gps settings are only for EXTERNAL gps devices. not the INTEGRATED gps on the phone itself.

[Guest greezmky]

I have concluded as stated that it is not the GPS. I loaded Google maps and got 4 sats. Tried Garmin again and got the same message. Also got this message when I tried to purchase the software, so it seams that the program is no being allowed to us the Omnia's net??

Thanks Guys

If you have any Ideas, let me know

I'm using Garmin just fine, I just had to crack it. For the record I did buy the external, but since the leak have used the internal. If you need help PM me.

Honestly, I never had much luck with Google maps. Most people say they get it to work as just Managed by Windows..

Try out Live Search or a GPS program that will at least show if the phone is reading the GPS. Your first lock can usually take a good 10-15 minutes or so, so you may want to try again and just be patient <_<

[Guest LarryP]

No go with windows live search either. I really dont get this... I hve been through it before and was sucessful, this time same steps no go.

any ideas?

You need to flash to another ROM. The one you installed had the wrong GPS driver in it. I have since fixed that issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Guest aaak2000]

i have the same problem as you have with gps hardware com jumping to none after setting it.

my GPS worked fine before.

and ladt thing i remamber is installing "where is" application, so it might be it.

now i still trying to find a way to fix the problem without hard reset.

if anyone know how to fix it...

please help!
