[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkgt:
I have a 2 1/2 year old M7 that has the dreaded purple camera problems and a battery that is no longer good for a day of light use.

At this point is a M8 for around $280 a good buy or should I consider something else? I will not buy an Apple product and having the best cell phone camera is not a high priority. Clear calls and connections are the main concerns.

Thoughts and alternatives please.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epsix:
No, wait for M10. Everyone who has M8 will upgrade to M10,we skip M9. Lol
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbb3393:
Exact same here
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkgt:
Many seem to be planning to pass on the M10 because it is rumored to have lost the twin speaker boom sound?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yeah, I just saw the leaked photos and renders, and was really disappointed to see that the front speakers seem to be gone. This is a big step backwards for smartphones in general IMO. Having speakers on the side (or worse, the back) is just horrible design; and HTC putting the speakers on the front where they belong was one of the main reasons I got the M8.

Still haven't decided whether I'll pick up the M10 or not, but the lack of front speakers will certainly be a factor.

Not sure if the M10 is a feasible option for the OP or not (everyone has different budget and other constraints). But if that is a possibility, I'd at least wait until the M10 is released and there are some reviews of it; before decided whether its a worthy upgrade or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daCADman:
Hi guys,

I rooted (only root, haven't flashed anything) my TMobile galaxy note 3 (sm-N900T) and bought an unlock code online and unlocked it. When I put my Cricket Wireless sim in, it works except for no data. In my status menu, it says "mobile network state disconnected", I make and receive calls, texts, etc. But only when the WiFi is on can I browse the internet. Is there a fix for this? I would so appreciate anyone's help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daCADman:
I figured it out. had to input the new Cricket Wireless WAP in the mobile data. searched online for the new Cricket WAP, created a new one and input the info. Good to go! Oh, and I just turned off wireless calling for that annoying little red phone in the bar.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
EDIT: Use the attached .cab file to fix your QuickGPS. This restores it to hard reset state.

EDIT 2: WTF?!?!? The .cab was made the same way I always make them yet won't install. If anyone knows how to fix, lemme know...

:(

-Mc

If I try to manually update QuickGPS, I get an error message of, "Connection Failed. Please try again later." I have never been able to get it to connect. Does anyone know how the registry settings work? Does it just try them all in order until it gets the settings it's looking for? With the exception of one link, all the rest try to connect to xtra1.gpsonextra.net.

According to this XDA thread, the settings in the registry should be:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\0\0\IP -> htcscm13.htc.com.tw

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\0\1\IP -> htctsvr.htc.com.tw

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\1\0\IP -> www.htcusainc.com

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\2\0\IP -> service.htceurope.com

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\2\1\IP -> ftp.htceurope.com

But in the registry of the 4550, I have:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
looks the same exept for the options you have checked that I don't (remind when expired).

I'm curious why the old settings had various HTC sites and the new settings are all the same one (anyone ever heard of redundancy?)...

Thanks for the response. May have something to do with my connection settings. Everthing syncs and works on the web though...

hmmm.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
UPDATE

When you manually update, it downloads two files to your temp folder:

CLM_SITE_LIST_UPDATE.INI

packedEphemeris.ee

but as soon as the meter hits 100%, you get the error message "Connection failed. Please try again later"

If you delete the 2 files and wait a little, you can download them again but it always fails immediately after.

So I still have for

Download time: Not yet downloaded

Valid time: Expired

Anybody have any ideas?

thanks,

-Mc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mlai:
The QuickGPS worked on my Kaiser earlier in the week as well and now it is showing that it has never been downloaded and expired.

Manual connection attempts also result in connection failed and try again later messages. I think something is wrong with the servers.......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
I don't think so. If you check your \Temp folder, you should see the two files I mentioned above. If you move those files to your \Windows folder, (make sure QuickGPS isn't open) you will then see it is current again.

It's getting the data but it's not putting it in the windows folder. It fails on that action thus returning an error message.

I've been working on this for a while now. :(

-Mc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RemE:
I hate to say this, but maybe it's time for the hard reset and test this before loading your restore? Knock on wood, I've tweaked the heck out of mine and QuickGPS is still doing it's thing without issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
It appears to be a pretty common problem. When you google the error message you get a lot of hits on various sites. My Kaiser is bone stock with only a couple apps installed. I haven't even customized it that much.

I think it's gotta be something simple once it's found. Finding it on the other hand... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zachto:
I just tried QuickGPS on my Kaiser and it worked fine too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
have you tried it a couple times? I think everyone's worked fine once.

-Mc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wise87:
Mine didn't work on wifi but no problems on Edge.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
For anyone who's worked, would you mind using Mobile Registry Editor and export [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS] (none of the IP/Port stuff needed). Again, here's what mine has:

It will download to the temp folder but not put it in the windows folder and fails everytime.

Thanks!

-Mc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaemon:
I have the same problem too on my french kaiser.

i did notice something weird though the first time it succeed to download, the validity was something around 7 days instead of the usual 3 days. Did anybody else noticed that ?

since then, same problem as everyone in here : sometimes i have connection failure, sometimes it shows a progress of the download and reaching the 100% i get the error.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
yup. I have the same experience as you. It's gotta be something simple. I'm still plugging away on it...

-Mc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 3waygeek:
I re-ran QuickGPS over WiFi this AM, using the registry settings I posted earlier in this thread. I got a new xtra.bin (the file containing the satellite info), and my registry settings were relatively unchanged (i.e. only the time values were changed, not the IP addresses, filenames, logon info, etc.); that suggests to me that the settings I posted earlier do work.

McHale, you might want to try changing your settings to match mine -- they work for me, so they might for you too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
Yup. Have to do that tonight. I may delete the whole entry and see what happens. :)

I plan on hard resetting at some point anyway...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RemE:
So, that said, are you back up and working again with QuickGPS?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
Yah for now. But don't forget, it worked fine the first time I tried it out of the box. I don't know how the config got changed in the first place which is still confusing for me.

So at the very least, I can create a .cab file from my reg export and see if it helps anyone else without hard resetting.

If anyone is willing to try the above reg settings to fix their QuickGPS, lemme know and I'll a .cab. Otherwise, all the settings are above and were captured IMMEDIATELY after a hard reset before any configurations and customizations took place.

-Mc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaemon:
ok, i'm changing manually my values in the reg with Resco Registry to see if it will works.

However can you clarify me:

for example, for "bias" you have =dword:fffffed4

in mine i have DWORD value and i have the choice between Hex or Dec. It is on Dec and the value is a simple "120".

This happen on several keys where you have complicated letters and i have "simple values". I guess this is just about a converstion stuff ?

or should i enter fffffed4 as a Hex ???

I just have no idea what this means
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaemon:
Ok ichanged the values manually (entered the fffffed4 as an hex value).

After reaching in your list "curIP". I gave it a try and launched QuickGPS.

and it worked ! however, validity time is only 1 day and 21 hours :s so that is strange as i think this sould be 7 full days... will see in 1 day and 21 hours what will happen when i try to download again.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kaemon:
just some updates :

i noticed the "Expiredtime" data refers to the number of minutes of the validity.

4320 = 3 days

8640 = 6 days

10080 = 7 days.

however. Changing theses values in the reg, does change the validity period in Quickgps EVEN whithout being connected to the internet and updating...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
Like I said, other than going from very strange reg settings to the current ones, I don't fully understand how it all works. One thing to note that is VERY different are the files it uses and the login/password.

I hope to get the cab created tonight. If so, would you be willing to test?

I found that since hard resetting and not jerking with it, it auto refreses quite frequently - not only when it's expired.

-Mc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RemE:
From what I've seen, it refreshes every time it's connected to active sync. I wonder if it's responsible for calling up active sync on Kaiser. Some app invokes active sync all day long, I can't keep it closed it seems. Open task manager, there's active sync again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mabus:
Can someone post a .reg file with working QuickGPS settings? I've tried all of the ones on this thread and I've either got some really fat fingers or they are not working for me.

Natrually, mine worked fine the first time too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KarlFlick:
GPS Tuner

Any of you with QuickGPS problems perchance have "GPS Tuner" installed?

QuickGPS was working fine for me, then I was having the same connection errors listed here, tried most of the things listed here, and finally did a hard reset, testing QuickGPS after I started loading up all of my GPS crud. As soon as I loaded GPS Tuner, it stopped working. Works after uninstall, doesn't after re-install, etc...

I didn't dig into what it's doing yet, just left it off. Now everything's happy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
I'm waiting to see if it gets added to the KaiserTweak program. If so, problem solved. If not, I'll create a .cab for it. I promise.

-Mc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aximilation:
I'm running into the same issue...I just want GPS. Any clue why it worked on the AT&T ROM but not the HTC? I would think that manually downloading the settings would take care of things, but apparently not. I'd like a cab fix or something when it comes up as well.

Thanks!

GPS

Hi the quick gps worked fine on my htc tytn on orange until i tried running it whilst my tomtom program was running in the background. Not sure if it helps but i realised that you cant have anything using the gps whilst your trying to update the quick gps. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drb123:
Here is a similiar problem, maybe while you are brainstorming, you have an idea for me.

Luckily, QuikGPS works OK on my Tilt.

The problem that I have is the following. The default time for a GPS aquisition is too short, so when I try and connect to Google Maps or Windows Live Search, it times out before a connection is made.

On a GPS test program, I know that I am 'seeing' the satellites.

So, how do I prolong the GPS search time? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aximilation:
Ok, so I managed to get the GPS working, following the method of "priming" the GPS using another program. For a program, I used GPS Viewer, linked from:

http://www.tarekesber.com/?p=110

(Direct link: http://pocketmap.com/accessories/GpsViewer.exe)

Yes it works, however I don't want to need a second program just to use my GPS. Any solutions?

I have heard that Google Maps Mobile times out, however it worked fine when I was on the AT&T ROM and broke on the HTC version. Suggestions to a fix would be appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jahnotto:
Any news on this? Has anyone contacted HTC support about this issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mr.Clark:
The problem I've seen with QuickGPS is that it doesn't initiate a data connection.

If you've already got one, it works fine, but it won't "dial up" (for want of a better term) to the internet itself.

Open IE or Opera, go to Google.com then open QuickGPS and hit Connect. Works every time for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jahnotto:
Interesting. I didn't try that.

I tried the registry fix mentioned here, however. That fixed the problem for now. That's a cumbersome procedure if I have to do it every 7th day, however.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilowong:
yes i have gpstuner installed and it worked for a while about 2 weeks. then the gps seems not to connect to any programs and quickgps wont update. i suspect its gps tuner. i have uninstalled it but still not working. i think i will hard reset but i am just lazy these couple days.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilowong:
i have tried ur way still not workin with connection failed pls try again later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jahnotto:
I don't have GPStuner. The only GPS software I have is Tomtom (the bundled one) and Google Maps.

I haven't fiddled with the External GPS settings either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dspickle:
I used the registry setting listed by Mchale and it still doesn't work. And for those of you saying the GPS doesn't work, this is not the GPS. This is a data download to help GPS location. If you GPS isn't functioning, that is something else. You can use your GPS without quick GPS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McHale:
Make sure you put the values in as HEX and no DEC. I am certainthis works. I deleted my settings and put these in manually and it fixed it right up. Once you put them in, Soft Reset and you should be good to go.

I don't know what happened with Kaiser Tweak. Hasn't been an update in a long time. Time to make the .cab I guess. I'll get it done this weekend and will post to this thread.

-Mc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dspickle:
I did that. Checked and rechecked 4 times. Still didn't work. On top of that Live Search all of a sudden stopped sending receiving data. Not talking GPS just the regular data for routing that it gets through the data connection. It doesn't even attempt it just gives a no network connection message even though the connection is fine. I gave up and recovered a backup from 3 days ago. Live Search is working again but I am afraid to even screw with QuickGPS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] y@nn:
quiet annoying, the same since yesterday I realised that quickgps didnt worked anymore...I also installed the tweaks, but I can't imagine why that should be the problem, because it didnt change anythings with the gps grggrgrgrg

How got the solution?

I would propose HTC to produce a new version of the quickgps, because this is for me version 1.0!

I will send HTC a mail...

Y@nn
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] y@nn:
Ok, I didnt find any solution, but I solve my problem.

I backup the all system with SKtools, and I just back it up with the program, and now everything work fine again.

My analysis is: I installed since the backup 2-3 programms

- batti battery icon,but I dont think its the problem

- touch comander, it is possible

- I played with the kaiser tweak option - sk tools tweak, also possible for interaction

- I also made once quickclean from the sktools, and it's possible that there is a file who has been deleted during the cleaning process

My conclusion:

Hard reset for those who that still not working

- then clean install of all programms, and then asap a backup of all system, it save my day, I can say!

Voilà

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drellmsu:

Yah if you can make that cab cause mine is the same way. Worked fine before I hard reseted then soft reseted to prevent the AT&T customization, then no more worky.

I had the same problems as described in this thread.

So i went looking for the cab-file and found it here:

This method worked for me.

Thanx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djschumi:
Ok guys. I'm not daily GPS user but today i've tried using it on my way home. A couple of days earlier quickgps expired. I'm using TomTom and for fun I installed some other GPS programs, like GPS tuner etc. Well, today no gps signal could be located and no quickgps could be updated. Luck was on my side since I had backup. Restore helped me but the backup was made after quickgps expired. I ran update via data connection and now my tomtom finds gps signal and position. And now question for you guys, is quickgps necessary for picking up gps signal and positon in navigation programs? It strange that no signal could be picked up. If so, it sucks that you have to update quickgps every week in order to make gps working as it should. Or what the hack was wrong with my gps?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darkilici:
Any solution for this problem, beside hardreset (which may be a temporary solution anyway)? Is getting really annoying :mad:

The problem seems to be related to the download module of QuickGPS, more precisely, it doesn't copy the files from \TEMP to \Windows, but even if you manually copy the files, it gets reduced validity (maybe related to xtra.bin info, because after deleting this file i get 2 days 23 hours validity, before it was 6 days 23h). Now when i press download (manual), it only gets CLM_SITE_LIST_UPDATE.ini and packedEphemeris.ee , no xtra.bin - so i suppose i did something wrong to delete the damn file - btw it was dated 05.nov.2007 and the rest of the files are current, 14.nov.2007, maybe anyone can explain what that file does )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drellmsu:
bleh

hard reset worked for me.

Just get the registry settings and change them. I think that will fix the problem.
