I'm a bit confused about AGPS and data transfer. I was previously using TT6 and had AGPS disabled. However, it took about 5-7 minutes to get a position lock (if I was lucky). So I read that AGPS could improve that at the cost of a few KB. I enabled AGPS, updated with QuickGPS and also installed Franson GpsGate.

When I launch TT6, the position lock is indeed much faster. However, the data connection stays open. I was thinking that AGPS would download what it needed from the network and then close the data connection once it got a position lock. Like I said though, the data connection stays open.

The plan I have right now (I believe) allows no data whatsoever, every byte costs me extra. If the connection would be closed after position lock, that would be fine (like a $0.50 fee every time I use GPS) but I'm not willing to rack up a huge charge for a longer trip...

So....how to get the data connection to close after position lock?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gwnorth:
AGPS uses constant data, that's how it works. Your phone is constantly leveraging off the towers, either sending them raw timing data to crunch (since the assistance servers are far more powerful and faster then your phone), or receiving timing data to fill in fragmented signals it got directly (since the towers have much better line-of-sight with the satellites and have precisely known and stable positions themselves).

Even if you were not moving, your phone is constantly getting fresh satellite data and handing it off to the tower servers for a crunch of the fix - happens numerous times per second and never stops, not as long as you are using a GPS application on your phone.

You will rack up data charges if using aGPS, no way around that. So without a data plan, best to leave it off.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shellcode:
Interesting...most sources say that AGPS primarily enhances the startup time of the GPS (Wikipedia: "...A-GPS, enhances the startup performance of a GPS satellite-based positioning..."). Also, most people say that it's "only a few KB" of data transfer though I have nothing to back this up.

What you say makes sense though, since it offloads a lot of processing to the tower computers, saves battery life, makes more money for the carriers...

However, what I want should still technically be possible, right? The AGPS would be used to speed up the initial positioning at which point it would be shut off and only the GPS data stream would be used. I've never had any problems with keeping a position lock (w/o AGPS), the only issue was that the startup time was too long.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rhedgehog:
The diamond only weighs 100g. how hard does the hook have to be to hold that tiny amount??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Noam23:
Still, when you run for example (run with your legs, not software :)), the weight that the hook will feel is more than 100 grams (due to acceleration of the mass when you jump up and down).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rhedgehog:
still only going to be a few hundred grams. Even if it is bouncing up and down at say 5G, that's still only just over 500grams of weight!

Seriously though, I sincerely doubt you have anything to worry about.

Ever since I installed AP4 i have been experiencing severe sound skipping when I speak. Sound FROM the phone is perfect but the person that I talk to can hardly hear what I'm saying because of skipping. This applies when using the internal mic as well as BT headset (A2DP and non-A2DP) but when i use the standard wired headset everything works ok. Tried using the A2DP fixes but no change. Any ideas?

Recently I've been testing out this GPS software, and I love it so much I figured I'd post and tell you all about it.

The software uses the Titan's GPS along with its camera and captures video simultaneously with GPS data. You can either broadcast live to their site, or record and upload later. The newest build just added audio support. You need to create an account on their site to be able to upload or broadcast.

This is an example of what it does, recorded by me earlier tonight, and uploaded: http://www.ix-m.com/sl-demo/MoviePlayback.aspx?movieID=22454_24072008193915 (you must install Microsoft Silverlight first)

In live broadcast mode, anyone can log on to the site and watch a live stream from your Titan's camera, as well as see where you are (and how fast you're moving if you're traveling).

I think this is some badass software...and currently it's still in beta.
