With AGPS turned on, I get a lock in 5 seconds or less, and rarely if ever lose GPS. AstroGPSLauncher is what I use, it is great.

The clock resetting issue is fixed if you simply turn of the settings in iGo that automatically update your phone clock to the GPS time server; also set the right time zone in iGO8.

For me, TomTom7 is only better for POIs, that's it. iGO8 has better graphics, UI, options, skins, and routes (for me). And I can use iGO8 out of the country, which is a plus.

Regarding the clock resetting, i have tried your instructions but still resets itself. Its really annoying.

After following your instructions i restarted igo and connecting the GPS and then Igo asked me "do you want to disable auto adjusting the timezone by connecting to the gps server?" (or something along those lines) to which i replied "yes". And then another menu came up asking me to select the right time zone which i then selected appropriate to my region (besides my region never needs timezone corrections anyway)

Please help. How should i avoid this resetting of clock after every softreset?

I use igo 8.0 update 55127. I use mio a701. Wince 5.2

Thanks

@273: Add the following lines to your sys.txt (on your device):

[timezone]
sync_os_timezone=0
reset_os_timezone=0

I have done as you said. There are two sys.txt's. The one in main memory (/program file/igo) and in storage card (/storage card/igo). I've added those lines into both.

Clock still resets.

Please give more ideas. I know there are lots of BRILLIANT minds here.

TIA

where can i get tom tom or iGo8 for my htc touch

Re: Anyone using iGO 8

[QUOTE=hideffer;307798]joemike60, download the file that bedoig posted in post #120 and add a line in the lex file:

"onto" = "ontoo"

I agree it sounds like "on tah" but with the above correction, it sounds better to me.

Thanks-
I added the line as "onto" = "on two"
It sounds correct to me now and it fixed both Susan and Dave.

Re: Anyone using iGO 8

So I am afraid to use this if it's not working for the vogue...:scratch:

Can someone confirm?

I have iGo8 8.3.1 running beautifully on my HTC vogue, with one and only one problem. If I try to use the "Power Management" setting "smart power save" where it dims the backlight automatically when no turn is approaching, my phone shuts off in line with the phone's native power feature and iGo never wakes it back up. If I disable the phone's native setting that turns off the screen, then the "smart power save" setting in iGo8 works great, dimming and undimming the screen appropriately, and the screen never turns off. With the "Power Management" setting in iGo8 to "backlight always on" the phone's native power settings are ignored and the backlight stays on, even if the phone is natively set to turn off the screen. The screen never dims in this iGo8 power mode. This makes me think that iGo8 is able to prevent the backlight from timing out and dimming, but not prevent the screen from shutting off.

Another individual over at gpsunderground.com was able to fix some power problems by setting the right phone name in his sys.txt. There is an htc.ini file in config/device/, also in data.zip, that specifies some power settings, however the gps settings included there are wrong for the vogue. I did try adding the power settings found there to my sys.txt, with no effect on my problem.

Is anyone with a Vogue able to run in "smart power save" WITHOUT changing your phone's native power setting to not turn off the screen?

Re: Anyone using iGO 8

Courtney, have you tried the new Bing that has been fixed to work on the Vogue?
