[Sony Smartwatch 3] BomberHQ:
Same problem ... done a few runs now with occasional light tree cover, and GPS always drops out. On one run it never recovered.

My principle reason for getting a Smartwatch was offline sports tracking/mapping and bluetooth music ... unless there is an improvement, it will get sent back or put in a drawer. Shame.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] andy905:
Did a 9.5km today, I tried Endomondo and Ghostracer and I managed to track about 1.5km on the SW3. This watch is pretty unusable for tracking at the moment unless you're in the wide open. Hopefully the next update will bring some GPS improvements.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Anyone try the iFit app? Just wondering as that's the app Sony advertises to use for the Sony SW3 for GPS tracking. Give that a shot. I will be trying it as I've had some issues as well but it usually reconnects.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] djurkash:
I bought SW3 fer days ago, but stil hadn't time to update SW on my HOX , in order to have them connected...I've been also using Endomondo for a long time, IT would be shame not to support It properly...Any news on HRM belts, I loaned Polar h7 to check of it's working, but I doubt sunce SW3 doesn't support LE protocol, as far as I know...

And, if this is the Endomondo topic with highest number od replys, why not changing its name?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supac:
I use Runkeeper woth no issues with tress and all.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lcompare:
I have been using it for a couple of weeks already and the GPS is working just fine. It doesn't seem to be losing gps signal, and the amount of kms is always accurate. The only error I saw was a max speed of 650 km/h while sailing (impossible).

I have been: bikin, running, sailing.

You can see them here:

https://www.endomondo.com/workouts/507783282/7165306

Since 9th APR almost all of those are using the stand alone GPS on the SM3.

Make sure you have your watch disconnected from the phone while using the built in GPS!

Ive since noticed that turning airplane mode on gives a much more consistent gps signal even with light tree cover. Still a bit inaccurate though.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] wmurch3:
I switched to RunKeeper. I had a handful of application freezes during a run using Endmondo and lost my activity completely. Very frustrating! RunKeeper has been perfect so far.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Hesthrim:
I'm also using Runkeeper. I have yet to have the GPS drop out, and it's been consistent and accurate. The only issue I've had so far is that the times are slightly different from the watch to the phone once it uploads the activity upon my return. So for example the timer on the watch will record 60 minutes running, but once it's uploaded on the phone app it shows as 62 minutes. This slightly skews pace data.

Runkeeper's app on the SW3 is great. Shows time and distance at a glance. Can start, pause or stop the activity easily from the watch. One caveat, as with Ghostracer and Endomondo, you have to select the type of activity on the phone app first. I recorded a 7mph, 45 minute long "walk" last week. :p

Of course Runkeeper will fully populate data into myfitnesspal and others as well.

Hi everyone

I am new here and this is my first post, so please go easy on me.

I wanted to start by congratulating all the contributors on this forum on a great job done.

I’ve just ordered an SPV M700 on Orange and have a couple of questions

1- I need to unlock the phone to be able to use an O2 Sim card in it.

2- I want to be able to use The GPS in the phone.

To use the O2 SIM do I just need to do a SIM unlock, or do I have to do a CID unlock to? Err what is CID in the first place :confused:

My understanding is that the Orange ROM has the GPS enabled, am I correct? If so, all I have to do is install software like Tomtom Navigator and all should work, right?

As you can see, I am not that technical :o and do not want to mess the phone up by venturing into un-chartered territories.

Thank you for any help
[P3600 Software Upgrading] drewy:
1, yes you just need a SIM unlock. You will find the necessary tools on this forum to do this.

2, it seems that the current batch of Orange phones are shipping with the gps enabled rom, so yes just install tomtom.

I think CID stands for country ID (or something like that), you only need to unlock this if you intend to install firmware from another country e.g. the gps enabled Depod firmware. Providing your orange supplied phone has their most recent firmware you won't have to worry about this.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] akirainblack:
I've just found out what orange are doing. ONLY their Business phones have it enabled.

So if you order the phone on a personal account you don't get the GPS enabled.

However if you order it on a business account you can have it.

The third option is to learn French and flash the publicly available french rom to it.

(That's assuming you want it to be supported by orange themselves)

Else use one of the cooked roms and you're sorted.

EDIT: I've just got off the phone to Orange. The third option above would still be covered by insurance. Though if anything goes wrong it would have to be listed as a technical fault and go back to their free post address.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] siupiu:
no, you are wrong, i am personal account, the rom is gps enabled
[P3600 Software Upgrading] akirainblack:
You flashed it to enable it. The GPS ROM is there but with one of the earlier firmware versions which doesn't enable it. (I got my information directly from Orange. If you were lucky enough to get a business phone sent out to you then I'm extremely jealous (and ask you again to upload your firmware :D ) but after about 40 mins of bouncing me around centers and giving me lame excuses or saying they were the wrong department I finally got a straight answer out of 2 seperate departments saying this was indeed the case)

If you look on the Orange site:

Business:

http://www.business.orange.co.uk/se...s&c=OUKDevice&cid=1044134008063&extarg1=Phone

It can deliver you directly to your meetings, thanks to it's built-in GPS with Sat Nav from Orange.

Personal:

http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/show/handset/orange_spv_m700/features

No mention of any GPS is listed.

I know the GPS is there and functions as I've used a cooked ROM to enable it.

Plus as has been pointed out you can freely get the Orange France version of the firmware which has GPS enabled.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] siupiu:
no no no, i didn't flash it before enable it, i can use the gps with tomtom 6 when i first got the phone, i need to flash it because i need to make it sim unlock..( i got it on 28/02/07, from the orange shop)

and even the manual with my spv m700, it also mention about the gps.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] the-oneil:
This is good News :)

I will get mine tomorrow - hopefully :rolleyes:

Alas, I need to use an O2 Sim card though, so I must go down the SIM unlock route. I am in a dilemma between

1- Using the Prof's unlocking solution here

or

2- Paying up the $38 for peace of mind here here

SPV M700

Just to let you all know:

I just spoke to Orange about upgrading my M600 to M700. Vry nice lady ( after three atempts) has confirmed that M700 has GPS receiver built in. It would not show anywhere on Comms but it is selectable once you install SatNav software and it is on COM9.

So I think that anewers the original question.

Happ Navigating
[P3600 Software Upgrading] the-oneil:
Got my SPV M700 from Orange yesterday.

I went into the favorit > Sat Nav & downloaded Orange's Sat Nav program (It woked a treat - No ROM flashing or anything ) It actually guided me back home.

So yes, Orange UK ROM is 100% GPS enabled.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] akirainblack:
the-oneil not all are coming with GPS enabled. I know as I've seen 2 so far which came without the GPS working. Must depend on the batch they send out.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] siupiu:
i think that depends on which rom version, that one with the following version must have GPS..

Operator version : 19.123.1.615

ROM version: 1.23.61.5

Rom date : 01/25/07

Radio version : 1.30.00.01

[P3600 Software Upgrading] novicebhoy:
I didn`t have to enable GPS on my M700. I installed a sat nav system ( Navigon MN6) and it connected by itself. I have a black M700 but on a personal account. The black ones were originally only reserved for new business accounts. Don`t know if that is significant.

I have now just installed Route 66 Navigate 7 in place of Navigon but it can`t seem to connect to the GPS receiver. Anyone help with that? I can only find one way to access the GPS seetings, in Systems/connections/GPRS Settings, and the only option is to change from PAP Authentication to CHAP Authentication. I don`t know what the difference between them is ( I`m not a techie!!) but it makes no difference anyway.

Any advice would be appreciated
[P3600 Software Upgrading] NeilM:
Don't confuse GPS (Global Positioning by Satellite) with GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). If you mess with the GPRS settings, you may stop your phone from being able to use mobile data.

The M700 doesn't come with the GPS control panel visible, and generally speaking you don't need it to. Windows Mobile 5 comes with a software patch which distributes a GPS signal to any application requiring it, but some GPS applications can't work with this. I presume Route 66 may be one of them (as is TomTom).

Go to your Route 66 settings, and in the GPS setting options, set COM port to COM9 and Baud rate to 57600, which are the default hardware settings for the M700.

Now go to somewhere with a clear view of the sky for about 10 minutes, to allow the program to download all the necessary satellite information.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] mikehockenballs:
the-oneil,

I did the same as you with my brothers Trinity but I have a small problem with the internet settings.

I downloaded a cab file from a forum request on this site but it did not work for me and so I then copied the settings from a site called 'filesaveas' and itwork for me except in one way.

When I try to access my brothers Hotmail account via Pocket MSN I could not do it, however when I accessed Hotmail via Internet Explorer it was ok.

So I have some kind of error in the settings somewhere that still needs to be resolved. I contacted O2 for the settings but they would not give them to me because it is not an O2 handset. The screen asks me repeatedly for 'Incoming Email Password', which is exactly the same one as when I use Internet Explorer to acces Hotmail.

So let me know if you get the above working on yours and perhaps I could copy your settings.

Cheers!

And good luck!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] novicebhoy:
Thanks NeilM,

Trouble is, I`ve tried and tried to find somewhere in the Route 66 menu where I can change GPS settings, but no luck. I`ve been checking through the files using File Explorer but can`t find anything anywhere that allows me to do that. Can you suggest somewhere I might find it or would it be pretty obvious, like going into the main menu in Route 66 when it`s running, and looking for a GPS settings tab. There isn`t one. It has a tab called GPS information but that just gives GPS status info, no way of changing any settings. Guess I`m stuffed!!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] NeilM:
According to the Route66 help, it only supports Bluetooth GPS, not inbuilt receivers.

In fact their compatibility list is so old, I wonder it works on any current device :)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] novicebhoy:
Thats great, thanks for letting me know, I can stop messing around with it now and go for something else or get a bluetooth receiver. The built in receiver isn`t that great anyway. I read somewhere that it was an 8 channel receiver. I have tried Navigon MN6 already with my M700 and I noticed that it`s positioning leaves a lot to be desired. I wondered if it might be something to do with the receiver as I didn`t expect it to be a SirfstarIII. So I might at some point just get myself a decent quality bluetooth SirfstarIII. Any recomendations?

Cheers for now
[P3600 Software Upgrading] NeilM:
It seems that Route66 will work if you install GPSGate on the PDA (according to another post). GPSGate is a GPS signal 'distributor' which isn't technically necessary on the M700 as it has the functionality built-in, but some apps coexist better with GPSGate then the inbuilt system.

Don't worry about the accuracy of the M700's receiver. It is every bit as usable as a SirfStarIII setup, and as long as you have a 3D fix (4 satellites visible) there will be no difference in accuracy.

You will find that your location, and 'sky visibility' have a much greater effect than using different receivers. Let it take a little time to download the various satellite data from cold and it should be fine.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] novicebhoy:
Downloaded and installed GPSGate today, works great!!! Route 66 connected to it 1st time no prob. Even picks up a signal much quicker than before. When I was using Navigon it took maybe a minute at least, sometimes more, to find a fix. Now it happens in a few secs! Cheers for that, you`re a star. Don`t know what us novices would do without you guys!

Once again, thanks for your help.

Hello!

I recently put a new battery into my Nexus 7 2012 3G. Before that I had roughly 17 hours of standby time (I did nothing with it, it just sat in my backpack while I'm at work), now it's exactly the same.

Now I know that in a case like this the battery has to go through a few charging cycles before everything works at 100% capacity but I did that. I put it in on Wednesday last week and I discharged and recharged it four times already without seeing any sort of improvement.

There is an issue with the wakelocks on the Nexus 7 as far as I remember. I did try different Kernels a few months ago but those didn't help and the tablet just sat on my shelf most of the time since then because it was pretty much useless to me because of the low batterylife. Right now it's running with stock ROM and Kernel.

Do you have any suggestions for me? Does the battery need more charging cycles? Are there any new Kernels or ROMs now that completely fix these issues? I really want to use this damn thing again, especially now that I spent 40 bucks on a new battery that I can't return because I threw away the old one! :good:

Thanks in advance!

No ideas? You got some change? Come on, help a guy out!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrizmaticSmoke:
Have you used any apps to try and hunt down any wakelocks? You may have a rogue app or service or something causing problems. Try GSAM battery monitor, it has a great detailed breakdown of this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm&hl=en .

17 hours of standby definitely sounds low to me. I'm currently running Dirty Unicorn v8.2 (final KK release) with the included kernel and could go for days on standby. I haven't run stock since the initial purchase of the device (almost 2 years ago now), so not sure about what's "normal" on stock, but that sounds low to me either way.

BTW i have a grouper not a tilapia, but that shouldn't make any difference.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matttis:
Thanks I will try monitoring it with that!

Mine went on for days as well. But then, completely out of the blue and from one day to the next, the standby time went to ****.

I am pretty busy this week, but that just let's me monitor it properly for a few days while it sits on my bag. I will try flashing a different ROM and Kernel this weekend. Thanks!

I have _very_ good experiences with all kinds of SlimRoms. I have the grouper device, but with SlimBean (4.3) I had standby times for up to 10 days with wifi + sync on! My Samsung SIII has SlimBean on it and I have 3 days standby :o
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommmii:
When discussing battery issues, there's a huge difference between the wifi-only (Grouper) and wifi + 3G (Tilapia)versions of Nexus 7 2012.

I have a Tilapia, and battery life sucks. There's a bug in the OS, ever since day 1. Meaning that switching roms will have minimal effect.

Been there done that.

You should run some kind of battery monitor as PrizmaticSmoke suggested. I use BetterBatteryStats ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 ).

Running the monitor for a day or so, will most likely show that there's a constant wakelock named "baseband xmm power", chewing through your battery in about 24 hours.

Even putting the device in flight mode doesn't kill the wakelock.

I have resorted to manually selecting a 3G network and then removing the sim. I now have stand-by for about 5 days.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matttis:
Tommmii, even after just 1 hour of monitoring it "baseband xmm power" is already at the top of the wakelocks that suck the battery dry.

I followed your suggestion of selecting a 3G network and removing the SIM card, but that didn't help me. I still lose about 7% during one hour of standby.

[MENTION=4947191]Matttis[/MENTION]

not to rub salt into your wound...I'm getting 0.6% / H, when the tablet is in deep sleep.

There is some good news from your monitoring, at least you know there's nothing wrong with the hardware.

The not-so-good part is that there isn't a 100% sure fix for that wakelock, all I have read point towards hit & miss solutions.

I am not willing to experiment with my own tablet, since that might bring back that pesky wakelock which has now been away for 2 months.

Are you actually using the 3G, or would you be a happy camper "downgrading" your Tilapia to a wifi-only Grouper, with the gain of normal batery-life ?

cheers,

Tom.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matttis:
My boss recently gave me a SIM with a 5GB LTE plan, I might actually be better off if I just use the hotspot of my phone instead :P

So yeah, I'd be down with that! I do use the 3G feature, but if that means that I will get normal battery life again... You mean flashing the rom of a non-3G N7?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommmii:
yup, that is the only thing I will experiment with.

Untill then, here is what i remember doing to get rid of the wakelock:

I was in another country with a prepaid burner sim.

I had manually selected the sim's network, in the hopes that this would alleviate the wakelock. It didn't help ofcourse.

I then forgot all about the previous, and travelled back home.

I then removed the foreign sim.

Wakelock gone.

Caveat : the tablet keeps reminding me that the burner sim's network isn't available... duh... I'm in another country AND the sim isn't inserted, yah I kinda figured the network won't be available.

So, what I think _might_ work : insert any sim, manually select that sim's network, disable data in the mobile network settings, eject the sim, power off, power on.

Then keep an eye on the wakelocks...

good luck.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matttis:
I did exactly that. I manually selected the network, ejected the sim and now the tablet keeps reminding me that the network isn't available.

Still same issue, that didn't help me.

Is it even safely possible to install a rom for a different device? For example, could I just grab the Lollipop factory image for the N7 wifi version and flash that?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommmii:
Also disable data in Mobile network settings.

Also reboot.

Then watch the wakelock for at least 30 mins, even an hour.

Possible, yes... I want to try it out when I have some time, if only to get that damn Lollipop, which is available for Grouper but not yet for Tilapia.
