Re: GPS disappointment

iGuidance sounds like its not particularly wm5 compatible. I bought a GoldLantern G-Lite unit at Fry's electronics for $149.00. (Yes, I overpaid but I wanted GPS right then and there....) The package directed me to download software from Mapopolis.

Just because you bought a GPS unit that came with a particular software it does not mean you have to stick with that software. The communication is standards based and I imagine that my GPS would work fine with TomTom or Streets and Trips or whatever, really.

I had one occasion where the nav software did not keep up with my travels but that's about it. That was in Southern California with Orange, San Diego and LA Counties all loaded in memory.

I have had it tell me some really weird routing information here in Phoenix - perhaps it was accurate but certainly not legal - it told me to take the HOV lane offramp from one freeway to another. Being alone in the car and having a fairly good idea of where I was going anyway I ignored it and it made another suggestion immediately after I passed where it thought I should exit.

Anyway, you can try Mapopolis for free. I still haven't decided what nav software I will ultimately buy but Mapopolis works pretty well for now.

Not quite! I have an i-blue from Sempsons that has the new Nemerix chipset (V3.7 firmware revision) and it is equal to the SirfStar III chipset (there is a comparison at http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=43462).

The GPS unit has 30+ hours of batery life (because of the Nemerix chipset) and it wakes up when the ppc tries to connect and goes back to stand-by (for 14 days!) after the connection with the ppc is closed. Tried it and it works fine with both magician and wizard. I have it always connected on the car charger and it works perfectly for about a month now without bothering to even touch it! :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] timskrastins:
Semsons has agreed to take my Solarius unit back. I guess I'm stuck with iGuidance since I opened the software.

The main problem I still see is that I have to re-establish the Bluetooth pairing every time I want to use the setup. Semsons claims this is because I'm using a WM5 device and no receiver can avoid this and iGuidance tells me it's not their software but yet I read here about people re-connecting at will (i.e. - I leave the GPS receiver in the car and when I get back in, just launch the mapping software and it's supposed to work?)

I can't tell if I need a new receiver (maybe the Holux 236?) or new software (maybe Tom Tom?) or both?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] iclick:
iGuidance version

Tim, only the newest version of iGuidance will work with WM5, which is v2.1.3. I just received my MDA two weeks ago and intend on setting up the Belkin Bluetooth GPS I had working well with my Ipaq and the Belkin software (same as iGuidance v1.1). I was told this version won't work with WM5 so I didn't even try.

The iNav people offered a "competitive upgrade" (discount) but recommended waiting until late-June or early-July for v3 to be introduced. There is a 30-day free-upgrade window and if you bought your copy recently you may be eligible.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] zowwie:
Sounds like B.S. to me. I don't need to re-pair the device ever.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] andrewilley:
I have a Holux 236 and I just Switch it on and then run TomTom, which auto-activates Bluetooth on the Wizard and connects fine. Tom-Tom even turns Bluetooth mode off again when I exit the program. I don't often leave the car mid-route, but as far as I can remember when I did the system reconnected itself when I got back to the car a few mins later.

Andre
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] timskrastins:
Well that's good news and seems indicative that either my software or my hardware (probably the hardware?) is the issue. I see a lot of Holux 236 users on here with Tom Tom that don't have to reconnect. Are there any Holux 236 users with iGuidance or something other than Tom Tom that can confirm an automatic reconnect on the Wizard?

Thanks,

Tim

Sounds like a load of crap to me. I have a Globalsat 338 (Sirf III) which I use on my 9100 with DeLorme Pocket Street Atlas 2006. The DeLorme software connects to the GPS program port without having to re-pair.

Here's how I did it:

Pair GPS with 9100, creating a COM port (COM6).

Enable GPS Connections applet (some registry stuff -- search for it).

Run GPS Connections applet, setting Hardware port to that created in step 1 above, and setting the program port to COM7.

Install DeLorme software & WM5 update (enables connections to the GPS program port).

Configure DeLorme to use NMEA 0183 GPS on COM7 (the program port created in step 3 above)

Once I did that, I can just launch DeLorme and connect the GPS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] barky81:
I just got my Holux Slim236 yesterday...as a bundle with iGuidance....from Semsons...

Once I set it up and paired it...it works great. In and out of iGuidance as well as CacheMate/CacheNav, never a need to re-pair, etc...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] timskrastins:
Cool, I'll hold out hope then.

I used to have the GPS setting but after a restart it's gone. I'm using the registry wizard with the 'show GPS icon' button checked but still no dice. Odd...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] timskrastins:
Good news! The step-by-step from 3waygeek made it work (thanks!!).

I did not have the GPS icon and after playing with registry wizard, still coudln't get it to show up but after installing Virtual Earth Mobile (http://www.viavirtualearth.com/vve/Gallery/VEMobile.ashx) it did show up. I followed the instructions and now my Solarius GPS receiver (sirf III) picks up where I left off each time (so far in 15 min of testing anyway).

GPS works great with Virtual Earth Mobile and Visual GPSce.

iGuidance is still abyssmal for me but I'm thinking that's because I have a Mac and their software doesn't come as nice little CAB files, it needs some PC installer and I can't get it to install over Virtual PC and all the PCs I have access to have user restrictions to prevent running the program. I tried extracting the CAB files and installing that way and the program will run, find me on the map, even start routing but after a minute or two it will completely lock up the PPC (truly it just slows to a rate so bad that clicking on the screen results in a reaction 5 minutes later). iNav support was very quick to respond but in the end was no help either...they don't support Macs and only say it should be installable without ActiveSync but won't clue me into how.

I'll continue my quest for a PC that will let me run the disk and install the app directly....maybe then it will run better.

Thanks again for all the help.

different between Sirf II and Sirf III

I am wondering what is the different between Sirf II and III. I am using a Sirf II BT,. I bought it 2 years ago and it is still working perfectly till today. I just update my tom tom nav to ver 5.2.1

Do Sirf III give a much quick respond? I just wondering if it worths to upgrade my GPS to the new one. The problems I have with my Sirf II now is a little slow respond on start-up....30 seconds and sometimes will turn off when I pass under the bridge or tunnel.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] 3waygeek:
Sirf III claims faster time to first fix (i.e. gets signal sooner) as well as much greater signal sensitivity, so you'll get more satellites and thus a more accurate position fix.

As an example my Sirf III unit can actually pick up as many as 10 satellites indoors; my previous Sirf II usually couldn't pick up any.

I've seen there's an official release of MIUI for the HTC One M7, but it is based on stock Sense ROM.

Would it be possible to have a release of MIUI for the Google Play Edition, which will be much lighter, faster and battery friendly? All the Sense stuff that is left on MIUI is like bloatware, IMO

MIUI based on GPE would be more like MIUI in a Xiaomi device :highfive:

I thought it was fine until it said-

"The phone radio is unable to connect to the network. Make sure the radio is on, or if it is on, move into an area with better coverage and try again."

so whats this radio its talking about???

Is it the one that helps me text and call, is it the WiFi because i dont have it on at the moment or is it something else?

Im getting a biit scared because while looking around for solutions to softbricking my phone, i read somewhere that it could ruin your phones radio O:

Download flashtool and download a FTF image for your phone...

Instead of holding volume up when you plug in your phone, hold volume down which will put you in flash mode... then you can flash an image back on your device.

With a locked boot loader, you can't run any non-sony kernel...

Did you wipe your phone before installing? Try to install the DooMLoRD's rooted kernel and do a wipe in Recovery. Then, install the ROM again.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcS-un:
Actually first i have installed the ROM and then kernel (is like that in the instructions)

Is it posible to have that problem if i unlocked the bootloader or root the phone wrong?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pec0ra:
As long as your bootloader is unlocked root is not important for flashing this ROM. And if you already managed to install custom kernel (for example for aosp based rom) then you successfully unlocked your bootloader. Maybe as the previous post said, try to install DooMLoRD's kernel (The old one) then reboot recovery, wipe, flash 4.3 zip and it should work

I have installed this one: SP-4.3_leak_256-DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel-v1 Is that the new one ?

I found this: SP-DooMKernel-v03 and SP-DooMKernel-v04

Is that the older kernels ? Because i try the kernel in the ZIP with the ROM and there is no recovery...

Guys....

Im trying to install leaked 4.3 but have issue

1.flashed .254 using flash tool

2.Rebooted

3.Flashed Advanced kernel via fastboot

4.Rebooted

but when i turn on the phone after that,it vibrates once and then there is no display.

so i flashed .254 stock kernal but that didnt fix the issue

As of now im on .254 stock ROM with bootloader locked again

Please explain me step by step process to get this done with 4.3 plzzz

Please note that my phone even though was c5302 always displayed as c5303 in PC companion but it isnt now.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashu1307:
Okay! Do it this way

Unlock ur Bootloader

Flash stock .254 ftf

Then root and install cwm by locked bootloader method

( by installing previous firmware kernel ftf, root by doomloard kit, install cwm of locked bootloader then flash ur latest. 254 kernel ftf)

Now just flash the 4.3 rom through Cwm without Wiping anything :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamingwolf6529:
Of course, cause u havent flashed the rom yet! You only flash the kernel, not the rom.

Now do it exactly as you did before, but after flashing the kernel and rebooting, tap the volume uo button continuously until you boot into cwm. And then you can flash the rom through cwm.

Dont forget to copy the zip in your ext sdcard before flashing the kernel!

Hi all experts.

I have one inquiry about my Samsung galaxy S II lte (SGH-1727) Issue.

at the beginning I read too much here but I couldn't find any answer for my phone problem.

the problem happened yesterday, when I was using my phone as usual then suddenly restarted, this issue happen many times before and its ok for me, it tried to restart but suddenly stopped( black screen), I removed the battery then I tried to restart it again, I felt the vibrating start, then stopped, without any respond at all till now, I tried many times to remove the battery and restart it but without any respond, I connected it by using the usb cable, but nothing, ( no vibration, no battery charging) the only thing is my computer can`t recognize the hardware.

I tried to do hard reset or anything, but without any respond.
