GPS Not Working

[Guest danial776]

Hi,

My GPS Won't Pick Up Any Signal No Matter If I'm Inside or Out In The Open.

I Don't Know If It's The XTRA GPS Settings.

I Am Quite Confident With Registry Changes So If There Is Any Way It Could Work Like That Then Please Post How To Do It.

Thanks In Advance

try this (no registry change necessary)

1. hard reset

2. download GPS Mod Driver and gmap

3. install google map (open it and close it until you get GPS fixed) first time fix, try to use AGPS support!! then turn AGPS off.

4. install GPS Mod Driver

5. then you should be fine with GPS ( without AGPS)

GPS Mod Driver setting check this link:

Have you tried typing in *#1472365# into your Omnia2?

It brings up some extra gps settings, some of which are similar to settings that can be reached in registry but some are unique.

The main one that was of interest to me was the start up mode of GPS.

Mine was set to cold start which meant that every time i started my tomtom it did so by deleting all previous data.

This meant i was on a cold start each and every time i used it which was why it took forever to lock sometimes.

I have now changed this setting to "hotstart" and my locks are instant.

There are various other settings that can be played with and tried out but this setting alone got rid of the only flaw i could find in the Omnia2.

I compared the registry of my brothers htc (which has tomtom working)and my omnia i8000 and saw that among other htc specific settings one of the differences was that the intermediate driver had no buffer settings in registry.

I decided to back up my registry and delete both incoming and outgoing buffers and now i have an immediate signal and once locked it does not jump from one satellite to another, they are consistent blue bars.

i have it set to com4 with 4800 baud rate. and it is set to built in gps in tomtom.

i recommend that everybody try this but please back up your registry first.

Please provide some feedback and let others know if it works for you

Please see post 95 in the following thread for my registry settings which give me a very fast fix with excellent accuracy.
