TTN on Samsung i900 Omnia?

[digital]

I've just got a couple of Samsung i900 Omnia phones which run on Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro. Anyone able to tell me whether or not TTN will run on them (and also see the built in GPS receiver)?

I've tried loading up TTN 5 that I've been running on my Ipaq hx4700 but the installation drops out at a very early stage without any error messages.

TIA

How are you trying to install it the CAB file method generally provides the best approach when trying to load to an unknown device. Although I am not too sure it will work on that phone - Mike

I've got it running after a CAB install (thanks) but adding a voice by transferring engf.cab and then clicking on it stops it running at the Welcome screen (although) I did, at one stage, hear Jane's dulcet tones!).

Gi,

Did you ever get TTN to receive an actual signal on your Omnia? When I choose other GPS receiver and select COM3, it looks like TTN actually finds the GPS, but keep on reporting that it receives a weak signal. Even though Google Maps works perfectly using COM3.. Any thoughts?

Kind regards,

AB

I've just got the Omnia too. Great phone overall, but the GPS Signal appears weak. Are we saying that we need to choose com 3 rather than let windows choose automatically?

COM 3is the only one I get any response from.

Experiences not too good so far.

1. Cannot get it to use the built-in GPS. It seems to think it's connected via the COM port, but get zero signal for any satellite. Other applications (e.g. MemoryMap) work fine. Therefore I have to continue to use the bluetooth GPS.

2. It will only work in landscape mode with the action/phone buttons on the right. Anything else results in it throwing errors all the time.

3. There's a screen size mismatch. This results in the TomTom screen appearing on the left of the physical screen at, presumably 320x240 pixels, so the remaining 80 pixels on the right are a duplicate of the leftmost 80 pixels. Somewhat annoying.

Been reading up on this PPC recently and it appears there are a few hoops to jump through. Some are saying a GPS port splitter is necessary, and most seem to be running TomTom v7. There are several YouTube GPS setup tutorials you may want to check out.

Port Splitter freeware is also reported to work as an alternative to GPSGate.

I was hoping TomTom GPS would be the usual straight forward setup
