Edge problem ?

I've got the last beta release and much more better than the idiotic winmob5.

but I m experiencing some problems. I m living an edge area, but the speed is like normal gprs with new rom. has anyone got the same problem? When I m using the 3g/edge usb stick I can reach 20-22K/sec down speeds, but when I m using t830 as a usb modem (I tried several programs such as wifirouter and pdanet2.0) I can only reach 10-11K/sec down speeds. Is there a solution? I change the setting about the symbol of Edge will appear when I have a Edge supported connection. but there is still a G symbol.

Thank u all who helped me to get some new juice of my T830!:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yellowfever:
Since there are many different WM6.x releases, it would probably help if you could tell exactly which one you are using. The "latest beta" unfortunately is not precise enough to know what you are using. For example you could try giving the number of the post you got it from, then people using the same software can check if they see this behaviour.

I didn't try it yet (don't have the dead T830 with me), but will be very interesting to see. I bricked it NOT during image flash, but during GPS firmware flash. So now instead of booting it will always say "GPS firmware update failed" and hang there... But I'll try within this month and report back to here, so that maybe some more people dare flashing the GPS firmware :)

Further up in this thread I read that someone successfully overclocked the T830. It seems in the latest WM6.1 BETA versions from PowerByte there is a generic overclocking software included, but I don't remember the name... maybe search this thread here for "Mhz"?

Small update from the T830 GPS front:

After being VERY happy with Firmware 3.5.0 and SirfInstantFix 1 (SIF1) by clmapp.exe, I accidently stumbled upon a software package for SirfInstantFix 2 (SIF2). The release notes make my mouth water:

So, the automatic ephemeris calculation for a few days AND the 7 day files downloaded from the internet can be used at the same time. Cool :)

I didn't try much yet... it's some DLL files, and I didn't yet figure out how to get them to work. Maybe it also needs some other software that is installed with the firmware 3.5.0 package for the "CN3" pocket PC device it is meant for...

If anyone wants to try, the file is attached. The file is an exe that needs a new .NET compact framework to run on your device... but you can instead just unpack it with Winzip and look into the XML file regarding how to rename the files, where to copy them, and what to add to the registry.

WM6 Russian

All greetings from Russia! At this forum a lot of useful information, but after reading all I can not make the Russian language and the keyboard on my T830. It would be wonderful if someone would take some time to create a Russian MDOC.dio. Thank in advance, Alex!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yellowfever:
In the final you can select the GErman keyboard driver during build, as far as I remember. So no need for building a German Keyboard version.

As far as I understand a Kitchen version means you don't get the complete ROM, but a set of files and tools that allow you to build a ROM. Often, during the build process, you can also select what should be included and what should be left out of the ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yellowfever:
This one does allow you to select Russian keyboard:

Hi yellowfever,

I have just installed the SirfInstantFix2 "Update" on my T810. At first I tried the installer and it failed for obvious reasons - it couldn't find some files, that it was expecting, I guess.

After the Installer bailed out, I found the extraced InstantSirfFix2 on my device nevertheless. I opened it and it was just a regular installer that asked me where I wanted the SirfInstantFix2 to be installed. I chose Device and a couple of seconds later I had a working CLMapp.exe! :)

I got outside imemdiately and got a fix within seconds. I will do some more testing, but it seems to have done the trick.

Cheers

Edit: The one major drawback of this is that now, my TomTom doesn't recognize my internal GPS anymore. Before TomTom used the Bluetooth GPS option which would somehow connect to Port 9 and receive the GPS information, but that doesn't work anymore. What is really interesting is, that if I choose "Other NMEA receiver" I am getting the GPS coordinates, but no Satellites, so TomTom constantly thinks that it has no valid connection and thus won't turn the routing on.

Edit/2: Well, everythings ok now. Turned out that for some reason the Wireless Manager switched off all connections, such as that TomTom refused to track anything and displayed it's "Airplane mode" message. After switching all connections to on in the Wireless Manager, TomTom picked up the new connection. TomTom now seems to get a Fix as fast as GPS Locator, while not showing any Satellites at all - but who cares anyway?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yellowfever:
Hmmm... the SIF2 should not be using CLMAPP.exe... as far as I can tell from the files it should be working differently. The clmapp.exe comes from a MIO 700 phone, and I have not seen it mentioned or used in any other device. Since GPS performance is quite hard to judge without doing some dedicated tests, I would be very sceptical about just installing this stuff enabling SIF2 already... this would be too much luck to be true in my opinion :)

One thing you could check is if there is a file called ephdata.clm in the windows directory. If it is there, delete it (or rename it if you are more comfortable with that). It should be automatically re-created by whatever SIF solution is used.

As far as I understand and guess:

If it is SIF1, this file should be created ONLY after you (or some tool) downloaded a packedEphemeris.ee file and place it in the windows directory. Then, as soon as the SIF solution (however it is implemented) is started, the .ee file will be deleted and the .clm file will appear.

If it is SIF2, the .clm file should be created even if no .ee file is in the windows directory.

One simple to check indicator that SIF is really active, is that for example in the GPSLocator all found satellites turn green within a few seconds. Without SIF, typically only a few turn green, while some (weaker ones) stay yellow.

I remember reading about problems with "not showing satellites" on some devices and with some navi software. As far as I recall it is the GPS being set to not send a certain type of message, which includes the satellite info. Some (navi?) software seems to modify the types of NMEA messages the GPS sends...

Maybe check with sirftech (NMEA -> Set message rate) which messages are actually sent. Just wait a few seconds and see at which lines timea appear. At my system for example it is GGA, GSA, GSV and RMC.

WM 6.5

Hey all! Interestingly as someone has already tried to move the WM 6.5 for Pocket Loox T830? Kitchen for ASUS P535 is available, so there is the possibility of porting ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yellowfever:
Someone did that once, but claimed that with WM6.5 too little resources would be free, and never made this version public. Apart from this, I am not aware of any attempt at WM6.5 for T8xx.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chaoto:
I have checked this today and renamed the ephdata.clm on my device. Then I fired up GPS Locator which needed its usual 10th of seconds to get a GPS fix.

Then I started CLMApp and it created a new ephdata.clm file along the one I renamed. So it seems to me that this must be SIF2 since it stated that SIF2's big advantage would be that the satellite data would be somehow calculated in advance and be stored in that ephdata.clm file, no?

Now I will make another check and get a MD5 hash of ephdata.clm and compare that one to future fingerprints. As far as I understand SIF1, the file wouldn't change, but SIF2 would update the ephdata.clm as soon as it gets new satellite data.

What OS are you running on your T830? The original WM5 or one of the newer WM6.1 ones?

If you're running WM6.1, your OS will be english and you'll have to go to the system settings -> Regional Settings. There you can change the overall regional settings.

Hope that helps

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chaoto:

What other 2 problems? The keyboard layout can't be changed, since your image is likely missing the german keyboard driver.

I do have two images downloaded, that either is english with a german keybord driver, or is german altogether - I haven't tried them yet.

I don't know about midlets, since I don't need Java on my phone, so maybe someone else can comment on this?

ich sehe gerade du bist aus deutschland, da mein englisch ned das beste ist könntest du mir vllt auf deutsch erklären, per pn?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yellowfever:
Well, the dead giveaway that it's only SIF1 should be that this CLMApp comes from a SIF1 phone, and is older than SIF2 ^^

As far as I know till now, also SIF1 updates the ephdata.clm file with the newest ephemeris that was downloaded from the satellites. So yes, also with SIF1 the ephdata.clm will change all the time, even if no new data is downloaded from the internet in the meanwhile. So most probably this is not a way to distinguish SIF1 from SIF2.

SIF2's difference to SIF1 is that it can update the data even a few days (3 or so) after the last time ephemeris data was downloaded from the satellites, and without need for packedEphemeris.ee files from the internet. I have no idea how this shows up in the ephdata.clm in real life, though.

Honestly, I am not sure how to 100% sure distinguish SIF1 from SIF2 on a T830, since I never had SIF2 running anywhere, and also have not seen any descriptions yet by someone who has it running for sure. So right now I am only commenting from my experience with SIF1...

Easiest way to finmd out if you have SIF 2 probably is to never use the internet download of packedEphemeris.ee, and see if you ever have the fast TTF all the time ;)

Apart from that, no idea... I'll check the documentation again and try to see anything that is present only in SIF2, not SIF1... that would tell best...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chaoto:
Ok, so it must have downloaded the latest packedEphemeris.ee without me noticing it then. I even think that my T810 didn't had an internet connection then, since I had trouble setting up WiFi successfully, but I can't actually remember when exactly I got WiFi to work.

I don't have any SIM card in my T810 so the only way would be over WiFi. I will check that once again, whith WiFi turned off. ;)

Well… and even it it happens to turn out that it's only SIF1, that's of course way better than no SIF- ;)

Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chaoto:
obsolete post
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chaoto:
So, today I tried this:

- removed every packedEphemeris.ee frommy device - there had been one still present in the MY Documents folder

- erased the ephdata.clm file

- rebootet the Loox

- switched to flight mode

- went outside and fired up CLMApp and waited

- first the newly created ephdata.clm was 0k

- after the GPS established a fix about 45 sec later, the ephdata.clm began to change

So, where, if not directly from the satellites themselves, should have CLMApp (or maybe the GPS FW itself) gathered the data from?

I just also made an MD5 check on both files:

MD5 (ephdata.clm) = 3e1f33692888f4c36e58823bab9c73cf

MD5 (ephdata27.clm) = 27316a660eea9b39257c95a0f244741d

So the elphdata.clm has really been crafted all by the FW/CLMapp. The only odd thing is, that it seems that I need to run CLMapp to do this, since the elphdata.clm appears not when using the GPS on its own.

Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yellowfever:
Sure, as I wrote below, CLMApp will create a ephdata.clm and update it with the satellite data - even if no packedEphemeris.ee is downloaded or present.

And 2 general things: For sure the GPS firmware can not do anything on your device except communicate over the COM port. So whatever happens with files on your device is done by software running on it.

And if the aim of restarting the Loox was to "clear" the GPS data, then this won't work. The GPS chip gets powered as long as the battery is in. So it will keep all data it knows (Almanach and Ephemeris) as long as the battery is in, or until some software tells it to forget those (for example SirfTech doing a "warm" restart).

camera focus & work-around

T830 WM6.xx's camera does not correctly handle focus (when taking pictures from objects closer than 1 meter). Factory WM5 rom handles it correctly (pressing camera button half-way focuses and picture is taken correctly). I tried copying relevant registry keys (camera and hw button mappings) and while camera key began working, focus is still lost when picture is taken.

Workaround is to take pictures in burst mode and setting registry key picsinburstmode to 1. This way focusing works ok :)

I think it has to do with camera driver (camera.dll and camera1.dll) - could someone extract those from factory rom and test further..?
