You seem to be confused. To clear up your misunderstanding, read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS

FWIW, I use the GPS radio on my daily 6km runs. My old Holux devices (CF-Card, USB external), used to take 30-60 seconds to grab a 3D fix. My HD7 does it in just 15-seconds. If a data connection is available, AGPS will acquire a 'quick fix' first, then based on that position determine which satellites it should look for, elminating the old trial and error method. Hence, a 'true' gps connection is acheived immediately after the AGPS system does it's job.

Bing Maps is just simply a built-in GPS client for the hardware radio and firmware.

To those concerned about data roaming charges, a data connection is not required to use the GPS radio, but is necessary to use downloaded maps, etc. As the newly released Navigon system stores maps on your device (1.6-2.5gb!) it will run independent of a data connection.

Cheers
[HD7 General] Heofz:
I understand perfectly what A-GPS is. However I have yet to see my HTC HD7 actually acquire a satellite signal.

Is there anything in the phone that actually indicates when it has acquired a signal from GPS satellites?

What I believe to be the case is that this phone never actually uses GPS signals, at any stage. I believe it simply uses the cellular towers to triangulate your position, and you never get anything more accurate than that.

I would happily be proven wrong. Or if you could show me somewhere on the phone which says "now receiving from (6) satellites" like my old HTC used to do, I will happily stand corrected.

Bing maps has never ever been "GPS accurate" in my experience, and I have had the phone for just under a year now.
[HD7 General] Winston1989:
What about the Navigon select app that some German carriers implement on their HD7s, isn't that satellite GPS signal ?
[HD7 General] geppo1975:
i'm using navigon navigator,that show me speed,exat position,and many other info:hd7 HAS A GPS RICEVITOR!!!
[HD7 General] reeg420:
I used Bing maps navigation the other day to find a junk yard about 2 hours from where I live and it was pretty accurate. Even merging onto another highway showed the cursor right where I was. After the initial routing pretty sure I was out of signal since I had no service way out in the sticks yet Bing maps never lost the route. I wa pretty satisfied.

But your right real gps shouldn't need a data signal at all like navigon select. Maps are stored locally.
[HD7 General] NachoNut:
I'm going to back this post up 100% on my end. I stand outside of my building and have NEVER had my bing map... and it shows me 3 or 4 blocks away from my actual location. I've actually had this question sitting on my end for quite some time now.

I, personally, don't believe that the HTC can be used as a true GPS. It just uses the cell towers like mentioned above.

If somebody could actually prove this, other than saying... IT HAS GPS BECAUSE IT SHOWED ME DIRECTIONS AND ACCURATE DIRECTIONS TOO.... Turn by turn directions though Bing is fine.. but it's still not a true GPS location being used.

Would downloading a GPS program like the 35$ garmin one actually give me a different reading on my map? Would it actually work if I have no cellular signal like a true GPS, and work off of a GPS signal?
[HD7 General] bver100:
@NachoNut and @Heofz: Do the apps in the marketplace that provide system information tell you if the phone is using triangulation or actual GPS? You could also try tweeting @windowsphone, @winphonesupport, @attcustomercare, or @htc asking about it. They're generally pretty responsive
[HD7 General] kerrkj:
I can't verify the exact GPS hardware, but the "system view" app from the WP7 marketplace shows "GPS location" on my HD7 and reads out to the 100th's place in latitude and longitude and ALTITUDE. You would not be able to read altitude via cell tower triangulation.

I think the issue gets confused because many of the location aware programs will use the triangulation method first while waiting for the GPS to get a reading. For instance, in Bing maps, your location is shown in a wide circle but as GPS locks in the circle shrinks down to a much more accurate location.

Even AGPS cannot get down to +/- a few meters without other outside assistance or references though.
[HD7 General] bharat4ever:
download tools for wp7 app from the marketplace. This has a gps reciever app. Put your phone in airplane mode, and then check if you get a location... I'd do it, but my phone is currently updating to mango.
[HD7 General] mictho100:
Not entirely sure what this rant is about to be honest. Just because bing maps is sh!t (which surprise surprise we all know...) doesn't mean that the inbuilt GPS receiver in the phone is useless?! Have you tried Gmaps yet?

As an alternative, why not download WinPhone Info for Mango and it will give you your exact location.

I use the GPS functionality quite often for work, because I have to see lots of different customers in London, on foot. Anyone who knows London, knows how narrow the streets are and how tall the buildings are. Worst case scenario for GPS, yet it works every time and it's very quick to find my location. Even though I think the rest of the phone is underwhelming, this is actually one of the features that works fine. If only Bing was up to Google Maps standards!
[HD7 General] rich_13:
I'd like to know the best positioning for the handset it's set for 'line of sight view'.

I go cycling round the park often and I must admit it does not seem as accurate as it did with my old HD2. Could it just be down to construction.
[HD7 General] chongolnee:
It's the rom. I switch to Telstra rom and my gps is working fine now. The gps on tmobile rom never be able to track my location
[HD7 General] 5ft24:
Mine used GPS as it came from T-Mobile... in Airplane mode it received the location etc,. but maps can't update because they need a data signal to load their data. It does indeed have a TRUE GPS satellite receiver in it.
[HD7 General] Heofz:
Shortly after the mango update, using the free GPSInfo app I managed to get it to tell me it had acquired a satellite signal rather than data only. It gave me altitude readings etc as well as accurate speed info.

Hurrah! :)

Now all I need is software equivalent/better than tomtom and I'll be a very happy bunny :cool:
[HD7 General] wheresmybeaver:
I was using Navigon Select 2.0 / 3.0 on my HD7 on my holiday to Spain during the summer; for a whole two weeks I had the data connection disabled, and there was no phone reception in some of the mountaineous areas, yet the GPS functioned absolutely perfectly, getting the position quickly and accurately. So yeah there is definitely a proper GPS in the HD7.

My own recommendation for navigation on the HD7 (whether you have access to data or not) is Navigon Europe / USA (ie version 4 of Navigon Select). It's a bit pricey but is price-matched with proper navigation apps on iOS and Android. It does all the usual offline navigation that you would expect with proper POIs, rerouting, etc, but if you let it at your data connection it will also retrieve traffic data, Google Local business results, etc. You can also pin destinations to your Start screen (Home, for example). Absolutely brilliant.
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
pin point location works fine for me on bing... shows my house on arial view... and while on the move bingel and gmaps both work...

i dont understand why ppl are complaning..
[HD7 General] GreenHornet:
Me too

This has a GPS, but it doesn't lock on very well (or sometimes ever) for me. I am using the T-Mobile version so that may be the problem. If you use the GPSInfo app, it will tell you if you are using AGPS or if you have actually acquired satellites. I have been able to acquire satellites a couple of times, but mostly it just sits there on AGPS mode. I was starting to really like this phone, but the GPS thing might just be a deal breaker for me.

[Android General] MattyGlen:
Great GUI yossio, Runs very smoothly.

Just a quick question:

If i use up to 39 images, it runs fine on my phones.

But if i use any more the 39 images, it always causes "Force Closes" when i try to apply the installed wallpaper.

I've had a look but can't find a reason why this is happening.

Any idea why this might be happening?

The 2 phones i'm using are:

* SE Xperia Play (2.3.4)

* HTC Desire (2.3)

Thanks.
[Android General] yossio:
well i got it to work with 300 images. what is the size of the apk? live wallpapers that are big tend to crash. also, you might wanna play with the settings and see if it runs on a smaller scale. i can take a look and test your apk, send an email to support@yossoft.com
[Android General] yossio:
got your email. something with the image file names is strange... can you attach the gif file or sen via email?

thanx
[Android General] MattyGlen:
After a long night of trial and error this is where i'm at.

I tested an apk (created by irkkso) which uses 149 images and it installed and ran without any problems on both my phones.

I unpacked his apk and used those 149 images to create 2 new apk's using 1st: your LWPCreatorb1, then 2nd: using Daneshm90's LWP2.6.

I then tried both apk file on both phones: Installed fine but when selecting the wallpaper they cause "Force Closes" everytime.

Now the weird part:

i run both LWPCreatorb1 and LWP2.6 again after deleting 110 of the images to leave

only 39 images

.

The apk files from both creators now work Perfectly on both phones.

Why using any more then 39 images causes "Force Closes" has me stumped

I've Tried:

*Windows 7 32bit & 64bit

*Windows XP 32bit

*Windows 7 32bit - Fresh OS install, Java 6u62, Net Framework 4.0

*Windows 7 32bit - Fresh OS install, Java 6u62, Net Framework 3.5

It can't be Java right? Java's only used here to sign the apk's.

It can't be the image files, because these test were done with images taken from irkkso's apk which worked fine.

It could be Net Framework..... but i doubt it.

Is there something i'm missing here? hmmmmm.
[Android General] yossio:
yep it must be the bat file.... i'll dig into it tonight...

thank you so much for the feedback!
[Android General] MattyGlen:
Any Luck???
[Android General] leablej:
Love what you have made here and the fact that it will work with the newer versions of android. I am getting an error when I use this, where it really messes up the place images and puts them out of sequence. Any idea what is going on with this? I had tried to use 157 images, and am about to test it with much less to try and find out were the problem lies.
[Android General] leablej:
Ok so image size doesn't seem to be an issue for me. However I am getting a weird error with my image sequences. For most of my sequences it will not recognize the first image n01 and then it renames the tenth image as n010 and leaves n10 as a blank spot just as it does with the first. I did get one image sequence to work without any flaws, all the settings and namings for the images is exactly the same so I don't know where the problem is.

Thanks
[Android General] mmzbr:
First of all, thank you Yosso for your creator its awesome.

I just have one issue, after "compile" my wallpaper, install the apk in my phone and set as my Live Wallpaper, I got a blink (fast blank screen) in every animation loop. I already check the files and doesnt seem have any white screen for cause this effect.

Could you help me?

Im using pre rendered images from 3D Studio Max renamed to nXX.jpg

Thank you and keep the good work, and sorry for my english. :D
[Android General] leablej:
This is the same issue that I am having. If you check the output folder after it compiles the apk you will see that it is leaving some of the number spots as blank jpegs, ussually around n10.
[Android General] yossio:
i think i found out the faulty script line i'll try fixing it this weekend ... i'll post the update here
[Android General] mmzbr:
Thank you for fast reply.

Last question. Could I use my personal key to sign the apk while compiling with your creator?
[Android General] yossio:
that is working already I just need some time compiling and uploading

Promise, this weekend it will be here

:)
[Android General] mmzbr:
Cool man, I will donate in few days to keep good work.
[Android General] RumInfused:
Animation Speed

Is there a way to control how fast the animation runs, i.e. how quick it switches between images?

Plus how is the new version coming along?
[Android General] RumInfused:
Ok that was a dumb question my bad, it's in the settings.

However I am getting the force close error like others. My wallpaper is 139 images.

Just install your launcher of choice and remove ADW via recovery

adb shell rm -f /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

I tried Go Launcher but didn't like it, experienced lag using that too. I tried installing the Gingerbread Launcher APKs posted around but couldn't find one which had an app draw which worked correctly, all of them were HDPI, not MDPI.

I have settled on using Launcher Pro which seems to going well.

One main issue that led to me changing from ADW was folders acting funny. I would have it open and then later it would refuse to open.
[Legend Android Development] ebaak:
anyone else facing problems with market?
