UPDATE 8-2-2010

tested this reg tweaks worked for me without any driver

also internal gps works :D :D (INTERNAL GPS COM3 GUYS) AND ALSO SUPERFAST FIX YEHAAAA

I installed TT7.917, but this wasn't enough to make it work without GPS Proxy, so I searched the internet and I found this on a German web site, and it works for me on my Omnia i900!!:

Change these settings in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\InputBufferSize: set from 4096 to 512

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\OutputBufferSize: set from 4096 to 512

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\SleepOnNoData: set from 100 to 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize: set from 16384 to 1024

The rest is the same as the usual GPS and TomTom settings. I used com port 4 (and 9 for hardware), but you can probably use any other port that hasn't been assigned yet.

Here are the links to the site I found:

SIMPLE UNINSTALL DRIVER SOFTRESET DONE

[Guest Fizz_daz]

ah... it won't uninstall either.. having to restore from a backup.. also why is there two cab files and a zip file in the above?

[Guest Heintraag]

Downloading now. Installing later this evening. Wil let you know if this is indeed the holy grail for Tom Tom usage on the i900 :D. Thanks.

Update 23:38: Downloaded the cab file. Installed TomTom. Setup the gps settings and badabing badaboom.. it is working. Perfectly i might add.

Thanks Weirdo. This adds value to the i900!

Cheers again,

Thanks heaps. Been looking for a solution for a long time

GPSmoddriver appears to be made by a developer at XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=571266

Last night it worked.. i got reception. Now it seems it is stuck on "poor reception" even when outdoors. Anybody got a clue?

[Guest Thoumin]

Works nice :D

[Guest abigtrashcan]

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I tried doing the install on my omnia i920 with TomTom 7 installed. I installed it on the card, and when it loaded it gave me the error "Driver did not autoload, Com Port number is not assigned Soft Reset, and the look in Registry".

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Didn't work for me either. Got the same as Fizz_daz. Installing said incomplete and asked me to check registry entry; without telling me what registry entry to check. After soft reset tried both COM2 and 3 wtihtout success. TT find GPS fine but always gives 'Poor reception', same as always. It also did not uninstall completely and i had to use my backup.

IG8 ofcourse works perfectly without any portsplitter or registry hacks, simply works the way it should.
