Hi jockyw2001.

Please.

Will you have the time to check S730 yourself to tell as the result - if the GPS is presented and usable and if yes how to unlock it ? When?

Thanks, regards! In the name of many potential GPS users

Roman
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
The MSM7200 chipset in the S730 supports GPS and at least one user confirmed that the S730 software also supports GPS. However HTC apparently removed the internal GPS antenna in the production models. It should be checked how easy or difficult it is to add an in- or external GPS antenna. I don't currently own a S730 so I can't check this myself.

The HTC Kaiser/Tytn2 does have an internal antenna and in addition a connector for an external GPS antenna.
[HTC Vox] stuartforrest:
Argh mine has arrived but wont work. There is definately something on comm port 4. Any other port selected and it says cant find gps but on 4 it sits there for a few minutes before showing an error on Google maps. I hope there is a fix for this.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Don't test with google maps but take the gps test tool as i mentioned above. If that is all too much hazzle then in Google maps set a manual configuration: Com4 9600baud and go outdoors.
[HTC Vox] rooomish:
Could you try the mentioned steps? Maybe the S730 use different Baud rate speed.?

2. Download a free (Well half free, You can also buy this application it will give you some extra options, but we don't need those extra options.) tool named: GPS Test. (http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail.asp?id=3170 or at http://www.pocketpc-software-downloads.com/software/t-free-pocketpc-gps-test-download-uykfcoyy.html)

(This program will scan all your mobiles com ports and Baud rates, To see what your real GPS settings are.

In my case they were: COM PORT: 4 - Baud Rate: 9600 (Notice it ain't 4800. Usaly it shows your settings with a pop-up.
[HTC Vox] rooomish:
Yes, jockyw2001 was guicker then me ;)
[HTC Vox] martinbr:
I have tried com4 9600 and i get one satelite :-/ but that is indoor..The weather here is too bad and im to lazy to go outside and test :-)

But the fact that it shows 1 satellite must mean that the gps is enabled on the chipset right?
[HTC Vox] rooomish:
As is was mentioned, that f.e. preproduction version of s730 worked with TT on:

GPS Setting:

GPS: Other NMEA GPS Receiver

Board Rate:4800

Port : COM 4

What is why it better to test real Baud rate again an really tr to use s730 outdoor a get more time for software to detect and lock the sattelites.

stuartforrest - please try all notices above!
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
YES

So it all comes down to a missing internal GPS antenna in the S730 production model
[HTC Vox] stuartforrest:
HTC what have you done. I have spent a couple of hours with this and it is rubbish. It has been made of cheap plastic and looks terrible alongside my S710. It is bulkier and looks awful and is heavier too.

The slider is better.

The GPS does get detected by the software suggested (and google maps) but fails to get any signal.

The buttons on the front (which I use extensively) are worse and easy to press the wrongs ones but strangely the keyboard inside is better.

I have packaged it back up and it will be winging (pardon the pun) back to Expansys. The 3g benefit is not worth it for the down sides.

HTC must be mad as their devices usually just get better and better but this one is not so.
[HTC Vox] brisbane_guy:
Hi Stuart i beg to differ.. i quite like the phone and i also previously had the vox... one thing though the battery life is terrible it was fully charged this morning at 7am and I had 1 bar left at 11am so i had to put it on charge all day at work... hopefully this can be fixed??

I tried gpstest again outside (im in london and its pretty cold and wet) and the best i got was 2 sats again.. this is on com 4 at 4800 if i try 9600 i get nothing so its definately 4800...

question is how do i check if i can put in an antenna?

thanks guys
[HTC Vox] stuartforrest:
Well I had a Meteor that was exactly the same on 3g. Indeed my Treo 750 also did and I had to disable 3g to get decent battery life.

I think the build quality compared to the Treo, Meteor and the S710 is not so good with the exception of the slider.

I defy anyone to not say it is uglier than the S710!

I am a complete gadget freak and I always said the S710 would be perfect if it had 3g but I am still sending this one back.
[HTC Vox] martinbr:
Is there anyway one could attach an antenna to the GPS?

About the build of the S730 : I think its pretty well build. And the look of the phone is imo better than the S710 but i guess that is just a matter of taste..
[HTC Vox] stuartforrest:
Have you got one Martin. I thought it looked great until I got it in my hands. IMO it is not as nice as the 710 which is dissapointing.
[HTC Vox] paholman:
Just a shot in the dark, and I am clutching at straws here, but my N95 needs to have the keypad slid out in order to have the best GPS reception due to the location of the GPS chip.

I'm just wondering if the S730 GPS works if you slide the keyboard out. Is anyone willing to test this?
[HTC Vox] rooomish:
!!!I really do not understand!!! why HTC decided to use this marketing policy - f.e. not to fully enable GPS module in s730 - contrary to preproduction model! For me it seems that I have to switch to (for me terrible) downgrade models of phones as N95 cos I need GPS :-((. I am frustrated - thanks to waiting for this model (with announced GPS) more then 6 months.
[HTC Vox] ward777:
I'm on the verge of purchasing one of these.... I know there are sites that say it has GPS and sites that say it doesn't. Can you guys tell me where you bought your units from? For example SuperGPS calls it the "HTC S730 GPS Sim-Free PDA Phone" and says it has builtin GPS module. Wouldn't they know if it didn't? Thanks.
[HTC Vox] schlinkey:
Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't: It's not a PDA phone either ;P
[HTC Vox] paholman:
"Downgrade" to N95? Please!!!

They are different O/S and specifications, and are a personal preference. Please let's not start a discussion by saying Nokia N95 is better or worse than a Smartphone. I own both a Windows Smartphone and N95-2 (8GB), and both of them have their advantages and dis-advantages over each other, details of which I won't bother going into.

The S730 was never advertised as a GPS device by HTC. The 32bit Qualcomm MSM7200 (Chipset) apparently used in this model happens to be GPS capable, but HTC announced it's "capable" but "not supported" with this phone.

Online reviewers and some retailers on the web have caused a stir by picking out the GPS capabilty of the phone and raised this as a selling point when it was never planned on this phone. The owners of the pre-production models fueled these rumours by telling us it worked on their devices. This raised all our hopes that the Production unit "might" actually have this functionality, but is it really a surprise that it doesn't?

I'm gutted this phone doesn''t have it, and really hope it can be activated somehow as it would make this one of the best phones available (even if the camera is still only 2MP), but let's not blame HTC or their marketing as they never actually advertised the S730 (HTC Wings) as a GPS enabled phone.

As mentioned in my previous post:

Is anyone with the new S730 willing to take 5 minutes or so and test this?
[HTC Vox] gingerprince:
My guess would be that it's been pulled during development because it makes the already woeful battery life using 3G even more woeful.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Does the s730 have any connector(s) for an external antenna?
[HTC Vox] dcollins:
I have one.

No external antenna connector, but then that's no different to some bluetooth receivers. There is something on COM4, but it isn't outputting normal NMEA sentences. Looks like the GPS is not implemented after all.

Dec
[HTC Vox] dcollins:
Keyboard in, keyboard out, no difference. Time to start letting go of the whole GPS thing.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
You should do some reading. Except for the antenna the GPS support is there.
[HTC Vox] dcollins:
Great! How do I access it?

Dec
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Simple, just open it and see if u can add an antenna. Of course it would be a lot easier if someone with a preproduction model checks what the antenna part looks like (perhaps just a little wire which plugs on the mainboard)
[HTC Vox] brisbane_guy:
hey guys ok so i also tried the keyboard open trick and I still only got 2 sats.. but i did see 3 different numbers this time as in it had 21 and 27 then 27 dropped off and it showed 3 so i thought ohh if 27 comes back I should have a fix with 3 sats but it never did :(
[HTC Vox] mykie:
you must have 4 sats the really first time. It seems it misses the wire of the antenna inside. Why did they remove it then?

Michel
[HTC Vox] brisbane_guy:
hmm not sure can we reconnect it? :) hehe oh also to everyone following this thread I fixed my battery issue. It seemed my HSDPA was perm connected i think maybe because of windows live mail push but i stopped the data connection now and the battery life is much better!

i really like the phone alot pity about the gps tho but maybe it can be fixed by the community
[HTC Vox] martinbr:
I really hope someone comes up with a fix to the GPS issue. Would be fantastic if the phone also had built-in GPS...
[HTC Vox] rooomish:
What does it mean - how long can you use it without recharging?
[HTC Vox] rooomish:
For all with preproduction model of S730. Is anybody able to open the phone and check and describe how the GPS antenna looks and where it is connected to board?
[HTC Vox] mykie:
it would be great if someone makes a pic of it with a cam.
[HTC Vox] rooomish:
Yes, we need something like this:-)

http://www.ppc-phones.de/punforum/viewtopic.php?id=9426
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
I'd suggest you try to find a service manual for the s730 and for the kaiser. The kaiser manual Kaiser Service Manual will definitely give u an idea how the part looks and how it is mounted. You need the s730 manual for opening up the s730, altho i can do such things w/o manual of course :D

PS: i believe i saw a reference to the kaiser service manual somewher in the kaiser forums
[HTC Vox] rooomish:
Idea - challenge: If we find the hero who will be able to do it, we can send him little payments by Paypal to cover the warranty loss.
[HTC Vox] rooomish:
Good idea! But as the s730 is new model, it probably take some time to acquire it, we have to be patient but trying it.
[HTC Vox] A.Bagatov:
Okay I'm also willing to pay :D

Someone please slaughter his S730
[HTC Vox] rooomish:
Hi, here is the link for some HTC service manuals. Maybe the disassembling of s730 will be similar to s710.

http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocke...58716/HTC-Service-Manuals-Dismantling-Guides/
[HTC Vox] martinbr:
Good idea. Im up for paying some bucks for the whole gps-antenna research project..
[HTC Vox] mykie:
I think it are two different models. Because the processor unit are different from eachother. But this is a really good start. Now we need also a 730 and kaiser. This can tell us if there is an antenna inside. Both the 730 and kaiser have the same processor and chipset.
[HTC Vox] WasStoNed:
OK if we can get up to my purchase cost (or close) i'll have a go.....I can pick up 2 statillites

so 300 peeps giving £1 each :D
[HTC Vox] A.Bagatov:
Just do it.. we pay u later :D
[HTC Vox] qumran:
I am totally up for paying a bit. And people in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=351801&page=5 are sure to chip in too ...

But, when y try to update the software, appears an message that say "that the OS of the phone had been modified within athorization", and try to update by "Smart Switch" or try with a Support Official. I have instaled de "SuperSU PRO", and a friend suggest that this app, have an option for "suspend temporarily" the root mode, enable the update via OTA, and then return to the "root" mode. It's this possible ?

[General Questions and Answers] DF Hammack:
I use Linux, exclusively. There is not a Windows computer in my house. Till now, this has not been a problem. My ZTE phone connected with no problem. Well, the ZTE died. I had had an LG Spectrum and liked the phone. I had the opportunity to buy a Spectrum (VS920) at a good price. It has Android 2.3 and is so old it does not even connect to Google Play. Basically, except for making phone calls the phone is pretty much useless. I know that 4.2 is available for it, but Verizon won't push it because I am on Straight Talk, and Straight Talk just doesn't push. In a perfect world, I would have no problem upgrading it myself. but, apparently, there is no Linux driver for the Spectrum. I have tried everything I can think of to try to connect it to Linux (Mint 17.3) to no avail. There has got to be a way. Can someone please help?
