This worked very well for me, you can try:
1. In Tomtom, configure GPS with "other NMEA GPS receiver", leave baud rate as 57600, select COM 4 (I assumed your external GPS is already set with "COM4" for port, "none" for hardware, "4800",for Baud rate, "check" for "managed GPS automatically". Exit.
2. Set your phone "location setting" with "911 ONLY".
3. Soft reset.
4. Now set your phone "location setting" back to "LOCATION ON"
5. Soft reset.
6. Your Tomtom should be able to lock in satellites now. Mine can lock in 6-10 sats inside my house in 15 seconds. Same for Google maps.

Good luck.
