Ok finish my prob. Now I know how to install garmin, flash rom, flash radio

For gps prob, installing HTC GPS Tool is a must. help finding satellites

For my side here I did not use the serial GPS, I use the GPS Intermediate Driver, and now my TD log in to satalite about 5 to 10 seconds.

New HTC Touch Diamond user here (i know it's nothing great to shout about, but I feel good with this phone ), lots of things to do and learn here.. yay!

sunway college? sunway college reception sucks donkeys like crazy. everyone has that issue. i'm with maxis btw

what makes u think Im a sunway college student and im not

question

whats the diff between GPS Intermediate Driver and GPS COM (port) :4 , :7 ?
how to use the HTC GPS Tool? actually I dont know how to use it, theres only open port, start test

Here's the screen capture of how to enable and use garmin intermediate driver
And the difference in between GPS Intermediate Drivers and Com port is

1. Using COM Port 4 = Use TD Internal GPS Antena to search for satalite and this you have to wait a long time to log on the satalite on cold acquiring (Device after soft reset)

2. Using GPS Intermediate Driver = TD uses the Celular Tower + The Quick GPS downloaded info to mark where's your location is then acquiring for satalite, no matter you are logging in to satalite in cold log-in(device just soft reset) or warm log-in (device log in to satalite before and have not yet soft reset) the acquiring for GPS will be a lot faster, with the help of celular tower + the downloaded quickGPS info data.

oooooooo.. tenkiu2

what software did u use to capture screen?

The name of the sofware is Ilium Software Screen Capture for Mobile

SPB Screenshot also can, freeware

I wonder, is maps for GPS software like Garmin or MapKing is actually freeware? I am trying to search is there actually any freeware maps for GarminXT, cause i have been seeing some from Malsingmaps but they seem to require a key (even though written as free).

Yes Malsingmaps are free, but in order to use it for free you have to contribute 2 Points Of Interest(POI) or 2 New Tracks that are previously not in Malsingmaps and send it to the Malsingmaps Admin's with your email address and they will send you a link to download the newest maps of your location(Peninsula Malaysia, Sabah or Sarawak) and together the ways to unlock it specifically for your Garmin Set.

Ouch, then thats bad. How exactly can i contribute all those? How about previous versions? I mean, those that are totally free and does not need contribution.

-Edited-

And i have just flashed my radio to the newer 1.11 version. Giving it a test and see whether it solved my problem or not

Try Malfreemaps.com. totally free no contribution required, set up by Antyong also

is it bttr using GPS Intermediate Driver or com 4?which is better? does this make allot of diffrence in signal?

By what I've explained at previous post has stated very clear so you want to try it or not it's really depending on yourself.

Edited :-

It's not the signal I'm talking about, if you are inside a building, of course you can't log on to GPS Satalite. The quick GPS downloaded data didn't state it was the signal also, it's your location that matters in order for your device to log in to the satalite.

An update on the 1.11 radio. So far so good. Signal had been good, no drop until today as compared to the previous 1.09 version.
