GPS COM port is occupied problem.

Question

I use windows mobile professional  6 SDK and VS2008.I use the microsoft code sample for GPS application(Open,read coordinates and close GPS).It works well 2 times.

And then when i use it third time to read my location doesn't work.The mobile has windows mobile 6.5 OS which has GPS Viewer application.

when i open it i get this error

"The GPS COM port is occupied. Please end all GPS applications and a
restart GPS viewer again."

I am sure that i exit from my application and turn the mobile off and then open it but i get the same error.

I there any method or program to clean the port from this apps.

Can you help me plz.

Answer 1

Did you try to reset your device or try to run the sample on another machine?

Answer 2

Yes i close and open the device many times the same problem is occured again.
No way i have to solve this error in that device cause this is the device i will deploy my
application on it and also cause the GPS works 2 times later.So i think the problem in the port.
