I live in Minneapolis. AT&T rolled out 3G here on 1 November. I loaded up GM2.0 and it was right on the money. I was even inside my house.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sherpa:
I don't see how the program could triangulate a device out in the suburb. In a metro, yes, it's possible. Satellite GPS navigation is not going to be replaced anytime soon; however, I can see the "traingulation" come in handy for emergency situations.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
It doesn't matter where you are, suburbs or metro. If you have 3 antennas, you can use triangulation, period.

While it's not good for turn-by-turn navigation, it would be good enough to get a quick fix and be able to search for something in the immediate area.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] laakness:
Try thinking of it as a tool for people without gps. Imagine you're lost and you can get a general idea of where you are. Then drive a mile and do it again...now you have a bearing on where you are headed.

This won't replace gps or give you directions until it can get to that accuracy.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] punkcell:
I just install it, and i was coming on here to create a thread but looks like someone beat me to it. gMAP just got a whole lot better, I was like oh sh*t it uses the cell phone towers to show my location. this the bomb. google stepping the game up.

Mine works great on the 3G but i do get that unavailable bar sometime.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bobcho10:
so for those of us that like the way the old version works with 'track location' gps feature, is the new 2.0 version beter or just stick with the old ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
It still works with GPS, but you can also get a quick location fix via cell towers like people have been discussing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wizzzard:
Built in GPS not working anymore

I do not appear to be able to use my built in gps in this new version of Google Maps. The settings are identical to my previous installation which worked flawlessly. The cell based location does appear accurate on my initial tests. But if I turn off the gprs or 3g radio and switch to wifi I am unable to get a fix at all.

I broke my own cardinal rule and overwrote my backup of cabs so I cant reinstall the previous version, Doh.

Does anyone have a copy of the previous version installation cab? Or is there a trick to using the Kaisers built in gps? as I said earlier my settings are setup the same way as worked previously.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
2.0.0 works fine on my Tilt, as did 1.7.1 - both with the GPS Options set to let Windows manage the GPS. Way back when I had to tell it COM4: to get Gmaps to work, IIRC.

In any case, 1.7.1 can be downloaded from Google here:

HTH,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Buran:
Yes, and it works well so far. It's not a replacement for GPS, and the increased error is a result of how it works, but it's nice to have if you are indoors or don't want to wait for a GPS lock or don't have a GPS phone. Don't forget that it does work with GPS as well -- if you've got a GPS lock, you don't get the error circle. (There is an inherent uncertainty with GPS as well, but it's far, far smaller than is the case with tower-based location).

I'm happy with it. It's also much more convenient to get a lock - right soft button, then center button. No need to scroll to the menu item.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jasonktse:
I've known that the Tower thing with the Triangular method of locating you for many years until i tried it a few days ago......It's good that we can use the method now, but at the same time makes me feel very uncomfortable for my own privacy.........

I mean its very easy for the "big brother" to track where in the world we are within good pricision....I tried it on my N93i and sitting on my desk, the blue dot was like 200 meters away from where i was sitting......... I'm sure the cops or whatever government agency can just know where i am whenever they want....I think i read that 911 can also track you down this way too....kinda scary but good at the same time.....What do you guys think? Doesn't it invade your privacy a bit unless you turn you phone off?

But Props for Google for providing this service as this changes a lot of hassle searching through maps while loading.......
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wizzzard:
Thanks for the link.:) I have uninstalled, re D/Loaded, reinstalled 2.0.0 and still it wont work properly, not even allowing me to switch from Satellite to Map view.

I have now reinstalled v1.7.1 and it works perfectly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nyckid211:
I had 2.0 working on wm5. UPgraded my at&t 8525 to htc wm6 pro and now I get "Your current location is temporarily unavailable". I think it has something to do with the settings perhaps. Can anyone who has it working on a Hermes explain what their settings are? Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] elite_is3:
only advantage would be a good backup if for some reason u cannot acquire a GPS signal...awesome new feature though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] michalopoulosgk:
I was getting the same message until I told it to use gps. (I had already activated my gps by GpsViewer). It made a very fast connection to gps and showed the blue dot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nyckid211:
Can you explain how you did that, step by step for us slow people? I noticed you didnt mention which phone you had. Hermes doesn't come with built in GPS, but please do explain.

I'm looking for some Android TV Box which will work with my external USB DAC (Objective DAC). Currently I have Mini M8S but I can't get any sound off USB port, so looking for new TV box. I also tried installing OpenELEC but without any luck.

So...you have any recommendations which box will surely work with my DAC?

[Huawei Watch] TheStillMan:
I recently switched back to using EvolveSMS because I really missed the reply from the notification bar and the look of it. I'd been using Verizon Message+ when I got my Huawei Watch but now when I switched, I am not getting a notification card on the watch, but it still vibrates.

I have the latest update of EvolveSMS (4.6.5), Android 6.0.1 MTC20F on a Nexus 6P, 6.0.1 on the watch with Android Wear 1.5.

I've tested it with other sms apps, including Verizon Message+ and Textra, and they both work.

I can open EvolveSMS on the watch and everything, there's no option to block it, I've unpaired and reset.

Anyone deciding to go naked with the XL? I am going to give it a go for the weekend mostly because I want to see some real case reviews first but hopefully that I feel comfy enough to stay that way...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] imnuts:
All of my phones go naked. The most I'll do is put a screen protector on it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DownRiver_Droid:
Imnuts, now there is a name I haven't seen in a long time. VZW Note II days to be exact.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] arcanexvi:
They make cases for phones?!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] LOGMD:
I went on aliexpress and bought an array of things, few phone pouches some glass protectors, ordered a matte white dbrand skin with Google style G. And a clear case from amazon (they are tpu and rubber would prefer hard clear case but I can't find any just yet)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iamhacked:
I'm going naked but with a tempered glass screen protector, and a slickwraps for the back
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jarnoldsr:
No real reason. The phone cases are what they are. Nothing groundbreaking in the case category, no reason to spend big bucks. I got an inexpensive clear Tauri. I actually like how they look and don't want to scratch it up.

Sent from my SM-T550 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
Which screen protector
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ChrisAC84:
I'm with you, OP. Gonna ride with it naked until I hear some more about cases
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Crichton333:
UAG all the way.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ChrisAC84:
The last UAG I got for my s7 edge was a little loose on one side. Do they have one made for the pixel xl yet?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Peanuttree:
I'm thinking about going naked. To talk myself into it I got the protection plan and will save $100 for the first major drop. I'm just not sure if I can handle a phone that has been dropped still works with dent and scratches. I guess that's the long standing debate though.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] skinnytoo2:
I went without protection yesterday but the phone is really slippery. I don't think it would be wise to continue without a case
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
Same. Too slippery. I still don't understand why they don't all use more grit in aluminum, more kevlar etc. They make them so stupid for function sometimes. Like how the fingerprint reader, although great on the back, is just a tad too high to be the primary resting spot unless you forgo the pinky hold underneath. That's just lazy UX.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JasonJoel:
I also think the fingerprint scanner should be lower. Not a deal breaker, but that would be my preference.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iamhacked:
I'll probably try intelliarmor. Wasn't really impressed with the other tempered glass screen protector brands, like Nillkin, Amfilm, and Spigen. They either scratched too easily, or had weird adhesives that show rainbow coatings from an angle.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ChrisAC84:
I ended up ordering a live case from Google today, with a beautiful picture I took in the Bahamas in September. I also ordered a Spigen rugged armor case
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sherlock5545:
I think it's the perfect position. It shouldn't be placed where you normally rest your finger or you'd the the reader every time you hold the phone. Also, you aren't supposed to use the reader all the time and when you have to use it, simply using lifting your index takes no effort.

The only issue is in general is that there's no way to unlock the phone when it's rearing on a table.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
It's subjective. I think it's supposed to be the rest position so it remains natural. Also, why would G put a swipe function on it if it were only to be used to unlock the phone? When I need to use it, it is a lift but it's also a reposition of my pinky to a decidedly more side grip and not underneath causing me to not be as sure handed on the device.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sherlock5545:
It might the way we handle the phone or hand sizes. You're not supposed to constantly touch the sensor. In my case, my index can reach the sensor without effort :)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] ChromiumPD:
Hi to everybody, how Can i switch soft buttons?

For example set back button on right?

Thank you
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] FreedFromDeath:
You'll need to root and install Xposed and the Gravity Box module.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] StreetkillnHD:
I dont see why phone makers these days domt have that integrated, i mean if your gonna go with softkeys instead of the keys beimg on the device atleast make it so we can customize, specially google why dont they just add it as an android feature.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] FreedFromDeath:
I personally don't use that, I don't like the Samsung layout of having the recent button on the right, it just feels off.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] uberano26:
Few devices actually come with the option of swapping the back and recent buttons i assumed the Z Play did too.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DoobyDroid:
I miss that!! few phones I've had gave that option I prefer back button on the right was the first thing I checked in settings even developer options as I've found it in there before , ?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] ChromiumPD:
Lg phones and oneplus has got this feature... It's frustrating this because i prefer the back button on right side
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] titaniumtux:
The back button is an arrow (or triangle) pointing left. Your VCR rewind button was on the left. Your mp3 player's restart/previous track was on the left. Your web browser back button is on the left. Why should your smartphone be any different?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
Because Samsung (and the damned demented button layout they've had forever)?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] titaniumtux:
Thank goodness I've never been into Samsung. Only Samsung I used was the Galaxy Nexus, which wouldn't let me install Samsung Apps!
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
Heh heh. It's so nice being back on a proper button layout with the MZP!
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] siralsmooth:
This is the main reason I root my Moto's, gravity box, swap back and recents, along with delete clock and change battery icon.

As for the layout, since GB 2.3.4 with my Sony Ericsson Arc, my back button was on the Right, my Samsung S3 & Note 3/Note 10.1 was the same, & Moto Nexus 6/X Pure/Z Play All had to follow.

For any OG Android user, the back button was on the Right, and will always be on the Right. And I use it more than the recents so it makes one hand usage more natural. Just my ¢.02
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
Lol, would be nice to have the option for those who like it. I like back on the left for one handed use, as it's easier for me to reach than tucking my thumb up hard right.

Just goes to show, different strokes for different folks!

Hi,

I have never had such trouble or sensitivity on finding a charger. Full disclosure, I ordered the 18watt factory google one to have for my office when I need a real kick and the in box on for my bag. What I am thinking is what is the best slower charger for the night stand. I just don't think it is prudent to shock fast charge a device each night if I really don't need it in 30 mins.

Anyone find anything good. Amazon sucks so far for this, at least for me. I am so worried about the proper handshake for all these PD off brand chargers.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] testinguser:
Li ion batteries can handle the faster initial charge, but last bit does require sipping rather than chugging. Yes we all feel your pain with all these new chargers. For overnight your existing slow chargers will work just fine using the included USB a to c cable. If you don't have any other USB pd chargers just keep the supplied one with you when you travel.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] jackdforme:
Fair. I just want to make sure I have a proper fast charger in my bag.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] clockcycle:
True overnight you can do with just about any charger, as youre not in a hurry to charge.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
So would you suggest not using the official charger overnight? Would using a slower charger increase the working life of the battery?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vetron:
There have been many many complaints about the drivers and software for the HTC Kaiser. In particular the bluetooth problems are VERY widespread and about 90% of bluetooth devices work poorly or not at all. The only way to fix this problem is to force HTC in the corner and put pressure on them to release a new ROM.

If you are experiencing problems PLEASE CALL 866-449-8358 for USA

or visit http://www.htc.com/support/care_hotline.htm to find the call center near you. We need to surge their call volume to the point where they escalate these issues to emergency status. The more people that call the quicker a fix will be released.

Also you can call ATT tech support in USA at 1-800-331-0500 and complain to them also. If ATT puts pressure on HTC by limiting sales due to high support costs, HTC will have a huge loss in the USA market.

When you are speaking to a representative ask them the volume of calls they have recieved for your particular issue and post that number here to help intice more people to call.

We have to take matters into our own hands otherwise there will not be fixes for this phone, and HTC will just concentrate on fixing these problems on their new phones currently in development.

I hope the admin for this makes this thread Sticky, because I know for a fact that HTC checks this forum to gauge user satisfaction.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jgermuga:
I am not pissed off. Given the amount of features supported, there are bound to be some issues. How is this any different than the new gen of iPods not working with some older accessories? A petition has been started to adddress video drivers. I think this is a good practical step towards a resolution.

In particular, if looking at AT&T, they sell and support tens of different models of handsets, so why would they get all up in arms about a handful of Tilt owners calling.

As far as BT goes, I have not yet tried anything but some BT stereo headsets (3 different models) and they have all worked fine, as does my BT link in my Acura. At the cost of BT headsets these days, I would just find one that works well and buy it.

And in support of HTC, they have produced quite a few additional apps that work quite well such as the home screen, audio manager, photo viewer, comm manager, touch flo (albeit it works much better on the Elf for which is was meant), etc. In many cases, the software is finger friendly and works well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] perdurabo2:
I think the Tilt is the best device HTC's ever released to date. Sure it's got problems, but I trust HTC to iron them out.

Having accelerated graphics drivers would rock.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TiltedAz:
I agree, too many easily solved issues with this phone. HTC needs to support this device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] barnesdmd:
I'm not pissed off at HTC, I'm slightly disgruntled about the video acceleration but I've signed the petition and I have faith that they'll deal with it.

If you look at windows mobile devices in general HTC are the top dog (IMHO), the bigger problem than a couple of little niggling driver issues on a fairly new product is I would say Windows Mobile itself. I wish I knew what was going through their head when they designed it as its usable but nothing special. All credit to HTC for their apps, and more so to some of the fantastic people on here who have created wonderfully usable applications in their free time which improve so much on what MS pay people to do.

All that said I do hope the video issues will be dealt with before too long!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jellycow:
Not really.

I think HTC is one of the best. Every new generation hardware has some issues. I'm sure they are going to release updates to fix the problems. Starting a petition to jump start that process is a good idea.

Honestly...HTC software quality is way better compared to devices from other manufactuers like E-Ten (ugh...), Asus, Gigabyte....even Toshiba!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JwY:
Nope. HTC seems to be getting better and better. Unless you're using a branded model, I don't know what the carrier did to it.

I'd like to see the video part taken care of, but overall it hasn't been that bad.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jym04:
Well, aside from the video issue, I'm kinda surprised that few people are complaining about the speaker quality. It definitely needs a working equalizer. Also there are many issues if you try to talk to someone through the speaker in a non-silent place (like driving your car).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] silent_killa:
Bluetooth has always been touch and go ever since the broadcom stack was replaced with the MS one......
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
I think it would be a lot more useful if people worked out who was responsible for what...

MS make the OS - HTC tweak it to match their devices and add their own developed apps.

How many people with non-HTC branded Kaisers have the HTC homescreen on their device?

If I was HTC I would actually ignore a thread called "Are you pissed off with HTC" and would go and look for one that was balanced and reasonable in its criticisms.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Blowfish64:
Wow. Sure are a bunch of enabling fanboys around here. If you bought a BMW because they advertised the power of their engine and they didn't mention that it only came with a 2-speed transmission, would you call that a "niggling" problem too? The reason HTC continues to ignore blatant quality issues and opt for the cheapest, crappiest solutions is because people keep buying anyway, saying rediculous things like, "Well, it's not THAT bad," or "It's a phone first, then a camera." For $700, a PPC shouldn't be "not THAT bad" it should be a quality piece of machinery. Instead, HTC continues to cut corners to increase their profit margins, and 80% of these posts are people thanking them for it. If you're that free with your money (and your standards), please, I'll be happy to take it off your hands too.
