Thanks for the new pointer to HTC prog. I forgot to mention that I am using this all on the VGA Loox N560 not a smartphone. I kept wondering what the "No Service" at the top LH corner meant! Silly me! I tried running WiFi while it is on and a little WiFi icon appears too helpfully, but how on earth you can use it I have not - yet - a clue... but I will persist. I have been listening to lots of stuff and it sounds great. And I love the automatic screen backlight save (which I have reset to a longer time in the Registry).

The other AC stuff seems geared to mobile phones rather than a traditional PDA like mine. But I will try the HTC prog when I find it. Thanks again to bluemetalaxe.

fingerstoo - I also just downloaded TCPMP and found the album art was not displayhing for my WMA files, and stumbled across this thread.

I bought a 16GB MicroSDHC earlier this week and transferred ~9GB music (~4200 tracks) to it and have found that it brings my Tmobile Dash (Excalibur) to a painful crawl.

Switching between tracks (especially as you get towards the end of the library) is very slow, and it can take upwards of a minute or so to start a track.

I'm curious about why you're looking for a non-WMP solution to maintaining your library.

I'm wondering if you're not keen on sticking with WMP for the same reasons (thus validating my theory that this is a common problem based on the number of files in the library), or if you are just looking for additional features not found n WMP.

Would you mind sharing your experiences with WMP to let me know if you have found the same, or if it's just me? :-)

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
use mortplayer.. has every function youd ever need!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fingerstoo:
Yup, WMP has problems with large numbers of files. But the real reason why I got hooked on a replacement was because of the inability to play Divx video. I became obsessed with small size video files and making them play without freezes or pixel artefacts/glitches. TCPMP won hands down. Mind you it took huge amounts of experimentation with sampling rates, codecs etc to get consistent high quality results. The other factor was to make good use of a VGA size screen. The higher sampling rates and this together needed a good player and PC video conversion software. TCPMP remains the winner. Having used it extensively for video, all I want to do was continue to use TCPMP for audio as well. It seemed to have good control of playlists, plenty of tweakable audio controls (more than WMP) and support for a wider range of audio formats ogg for example. The onlt thing that frustrated me was not seeing the familiar album cover. I own the CDs so why shouldn't I see the cover as it plays (if I want). And I discovered, as you see from this thread that the covers appear as mp3 tracks play but not wma! Obviously coded in.

Having tried S2p, I will probably use that for audio and stick with TCPMP for video. I use an old copy I bought of CD-DA to rip the files from CD. I like to be incontrol of my libary mannually. It annoys me when WMP on the PC wants to take control of transferring and syncing my music. I want total control myself, thank you! Although I used to use the PC WMP to rip files , I have found again that the flexibilty and file conversion features of CD-DA are more helpful for me.

I worked (albeit a long time ago) 9 years for the BBC in video/sound hence my interest in all these things. Perhaps this explains my obsession with being in control?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fingerstoo:
Thank you for pointing me again to Mortplayer. However, I have tried various versions of this over the last few years. But undeterred, I tried the very latest version off Mort's site. Although I agree that it has bags of functionality and does indeed show the album cover, I just cannot stand that GUI.

Bluemetalaxe suggested S2P above. I am pleased with this because IMHO S2P looks so cool and is easy to use (even a shade of HTC and Apple GUIs in there too?). So for me, it's TCPMP for video and S2P for audio from now on.

I am a fan and user of Mortscript though. Mort seems better at writing clever and sophisticated "backroom" code rather than swish GUI design? I think he needs a graphic designer to hel him improve his GUI. I follow the Mortscript thread on this site every day, like many thousands of others.... brilliant.

Hi

I am having an issue with my UK based Samsung S22 Ultra. The GPS stops working on it, no map app can use GPS until I restart the phone and then it starts working again.

I found this thread on the samsung.com which seems to other users having the same issue.

S22 Ultra problems with GPS

No GPS signal, but my Note 9 had no problems!

eu.community.samsung.com

I've tried turning location services on and off and setting performance to maximum but still the same issue persists. Would be very grateful for any ideas

Thanks

Imran
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dave7802:
Wouldn't be the first time, Was it the note10 there was a Issue when device went to 5G it would kill the GPS and i would not reconnect without a reboot.

Only a few experienced the issue, myself included. It took way more effort than what it was worth to log it with samsung and for them to admit there is a fault and they are looking to patch it in the next update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Veridion:
Yes, remember hearing about the note 10. This seems slightly different

After a period of inactivity, and the GPS stops working. After a restart it works again.....Really disappointing.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vordhosbnbg:
I can confirm the same issue. Only assisted GPS works (i.e. when near wifi/bluetooth devices), but pure GPS sensors don't work until restart.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] malikin:
check permissions for GPS for trashy apps and block it all, allow for Gmaps or gps test app only. reboot and test again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
Same problem here...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Veridion:
From another forum (Haven't tried it myself)

Quick fix is to have installed the GPS Status & Toolbox app (the icon looks like an orange satellite antenna in a corner of a grey square) , once opened is not going to find any GPS signal...of course.

But if you open Menu (upper left corner, tap screen once to reveal it) then go to Manage A-GPS, it will pop a window A-GPS XTRA Data with 3 options RESET, CANCEL and DOWNLOAD. Press RESET and in a couple of seconds the GPS signal is back without the need to restart your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
Doesn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] s3fan:
Same here. Uk exynos. Gps only is all over the place. Poor fixing. Google maps location sits grey for an eternity. If I put WiFi on it jumps to my correct location but gps only is really bad
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
Really strange, which apps are you using that kill your GNSS?

My S22U Exynos gets some satellites even indoors (my Note 10 not) and with Orux, GPSTest and YGPS I can stop and use it several times and it keeps working again.

The accuracy is good, the only thing is the accuracy when logging with the display off (but this another topic from another thread).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Disable all power management... destroyer of worlds.

Try clearing the system cache.

Easy fixes if they work... many times they do.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
I have the same problem, after a few hours the GPS signal stops working.

I tried using the GPS Test app and it can't find any satellite, Google Maps says "GPS search in progress" and it stays that way.

From recovery I tried to do a cache reset and an app repair but it didn't help.

If I restart the phone the GPS works perfectly, GPS Test app finds 30 satellites immediately, after a few hours it stops working again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] thecrater:
I remember reading about this on a Samsung Korean forum. Seems to be a known issue which I hope Samsung can fix with a software update. The first time it happened I got lost and ended up going 20 miles out of my route because the damned thing gave me the impression that it was working after initially saying "GPS signal lost" and I just carried on. A reboot fixed it but I don't know if/when it will happen again.

I have received a second March update since then so fingers crossed that Samsung have fixed the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
Yesterday I received the S908BXXU1AVC6 update but the GPS problem has not been fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
So it is not about starting different location apps several times? Is it just a question of time and suddenly it stops working?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
That's right, after a few hours the GPS stops working and to make it work again you have to restart the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
It's likely either power management, an incorrect setting or a 3rd party app.

Try safe mode.

Look for what apk cache register when it happens, guilt by association to catch it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] s3fan:
My issue of location sitting grey in google maps. I found if I shut down maps and immediately reopened my location would turn blue straight away.

I have since uninstalled the maps update and now get blue location almost immediately every time I open maps.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
Have you tried with programs like "GPS TEST" to see if it finds the satellites?

When the phone restarts the GPS works but after several hours the GPS stops working until the phone is restarted.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I have a 6 hour long drive coming up in a week. Is the best workaround for this issue for now to restart the phone every hour or so? I damn well don't want to get lost :cautious:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
Up to 6 hours it worked for me without restarting the phone, at 10 hours it already didn't work anymore, I don't know how long after it stops working.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
I tried everything, for now, you can only restart device and pray.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
Sometimes works for 10 hours, sometimes for 3, it happens randomly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
It is really absurd that Samsung does not solve this big problem for an expensive phone like the S22 Ultra!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hampert_:
i have the same problem, no gps in every app after a day of use, reboot fixes the problem. it almost looks like the gps chip/module or whatever gets disabled after some time.

this is what i already tried after searching on the web:

- APN Network settings reset

- Wipe cache in recovery

- Calibrating gyro sensor

- Changing battery settings for the apps that use gps

- Disable Bixby routines

none of these worked for me, i just factory reset my phone as a last resort for figuring this out.

i will only install the essential apps that i need and will check out if the problem still persists. I will post a update with my findings. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
Thanks, let us know if the hard reset solves it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
I would have liked to do that, but I have so many apps ... I have no other phone to use in the meantime
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
A user on Samsung Community who chatted with Samsung Support was told:

Let's cross our fingers! 🤞🏻
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
This morning gps started to work again even if i didn't restart my phone, i remember that Strava and another application (i don't remember which) was updated in play store and GOS in Galaxy store. I don't know if they are involved or not. I also put in advanced suspended mode some other applications (but i don't remember which). I don't know if these things are in some way related...

I remember that i also activated and deactivated sim 2.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kallemyran:
Although my problem is not that gps stops working, i have serious issues.. updated to latest fw yesterday in hopes that it would fix it but no such luck. GPS is extremally slow to get a fix. It drifts all over the place. sometimes several kilometers.

Been running GPSTest and it baffles me to se that it is so much worse than my old oneplus 7t, which i run in parallel for comparison. Especially in the L5/E5a frequency .. and also it fails compleatly to get Almanac info (flag A) from any of the 10 strongest signal satts.. (if i can get that many..)

edit.. not being able to get almanac info surely is the reason for it to be so extremally slow since it have to update sat from scratch every time ..if i understand the almanac feature correctly
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hampert_:
The factory reset didn't work, after 8 hours the same problem occurs, no gps fix, there is 1 thing that's different though and thats the amount of sats it connects now if it gets a fix, this number is way higher then what i got before the factory reset, it tries to connect to 40 sats instead of 20 before...

will wait for the update hopefully it will not take too long.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I also notice mine just drifts and reroutes unexpectedly at approaching turns at just random times. Anyone else noticing this?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kallemyran:
This might be OT but... I was asked via support through the members app to turn on gnss logging in SysDump. But when i try i get asked for an OTP. I found some info about this in nickvsnetwork and tried to use the java code to generate OTP but I'm either to slow or to stupid to get it right. Anyone to help before support gets back to me?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
Mine still working since 7am (without any reboot).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
I think the problem (in my case) is speedtest.net app,do you have it installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
I uninstalled the speedtest.net app at 5.45 pm, now I have checked and the GPS no longer works so the theory of the Speedtest app is unfortunately wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
Maybe there is others app for you that interferes with gps. Try to put all apps in advanced suspended mode (or at least those which use gps).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
This morning GPS stopped working again... 🤬
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hampert_:
i factory reset the phone leaving most of the apps stock, still got the gps problems.

Also got the confirmation from samsung that it will be fixed in the next 'binary maintenance update' what they mean by that i do not know but probably included in the april security update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
So we are stuck in this situation until April???
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
What additional apps did you have installed when the problem occurred? This bug most be related to some incompatibility.

The last two and a half days I had nearly permanently running Orux and GPSTest and my GPS is still working without any reboot.

It still gets a GPS fix even indoors where others don't, but the accuracy in standby is still worse compared to others.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] renton82:
Galaxy S22 Ultra might have GPS issues, best not lose it until they’re fixed!

While the Galaxy S22 series was a resounding success in raw sales numbers, its launch was not without flaws. It ...

GPS working perfectly on Snapdragon variant India
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] flashflash:
Not had any issues, UK version, then today no GPS at all. Wow, what a piece of sh&t this phone is. I am past the return window and gutted. Can't believe I upgraded from a solid 21 U to this piece of crap.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saveferris:
Same issue here with Exynos.....Samsung members app has 30 pages of grief.

Piss poor effort Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] malikin:
SD version here, no any issues for me

Are you living near Aiport, military base, high power radio tower, satellite transmitters- it all can cause GPS issues
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] elfarto:
SD version here SM-S908U1, i'm experiencing GPS signal loss overy other day, sometimes it recovers after a few minutes and sometimes it doesn't, rebooting the phone usually fixes it (for a while).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dr Xous:
I want to inform you that I am experiencing exactly the same problem and symptoms but......I don't have S22 Ultra . My phone is A52s 5G and only reboot solves temporarily the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alexannino:
Same story. I flash latest firmware on top with Odin without wipe. Today is second day no problems with GPS. Adn noticed, now finding satellits just in one-two seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nickolasemp:
I can regretfully confirm that relying on GPS (during a flight) would not lock to the satellites right next to the window. Exynos here as well. Samsung you are destroying our experience here in Europe.

Samsung is pissing me off with the exynos variant in Europe. Subpar performance for the same price as the Qualcomm elsewhere. I have a few more days before I return this phone back...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
S22 Ultra Exynos. I installed the update S908BXXU1AVCJ at 13.20 yesterday and after 24 hours everything works normally.

Before the update, the GPS signal was lost after 3-4 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kallemyran:
Did the same a few hours ago, but I still have issues.. Compared to my old OnePlus 7t it gets about 1/5 of the satellites and accuracy is dreadful.. extremely disappointed.. 😞
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
S22 Ultra Exynos. After 48 hours from the S908BXXU1AVCJ update, the GPS continues to work, moreover, the consumption at night in airplane mode has gone from 10-11% to 2-3%.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] syedahad:
I have the snapdragon with the same issue GPS would not lock with movements. In other words when using Waze and Google Maps it will not update the real-time location.

Tried using this app and from initial findings fixes the problem:

GPS Fix - Apps on Google Play

Must have GPS application for your Android Phone.

play.google.com

Perhaps this is a temporary workaround until Samsung pushes a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
I haven't noticed this GPS issue before since I was struggling making Android Auto works for a long time.

Finally made AA works last weekend and found GPS always searching for signal, this was never happened on the other phones at the same travel routes in the same car.

Eventually made GPS connection stable by altering this setting, Google Maps works flawlessly just like before.

Don't know if it helps, please give it a try.

(Caution: it might cause battery drain since it keeps finding satellites in the background, even you put Maps into Sleep)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
These differences are really strange. Is it possible that at that time you just had that no-GPS-at-all-after-some-time-bug?

Just tried it in an A320: For the first fix I needed to point the S22u towards the window and the fix took a bit longer, then it was ok. But for sure, the more distance to the window, the worse the signal.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nickolasemp:
I had my backup (Mi A1) closeby and it locked in ~10 seconds. So, no. I have installed the April update now, I have yet to witness a GPS issue but who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] skejpa:
I have classic S22 with Exynos and I am experiencing GSP lost signal after some time too. What is strange is, when I use Android Auto, after some time I lose signal, I can only pull out the cable and push it in and it works again.

It has to be something which starts to block GPS after some time but when the phone asks for it, it is working. But it is annoying to reconnect every 10 minutes :/
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rufush:
SD version S22 Ultra in NE US... Confirming I have this issue also. Google Maps often can't find me, "Searching for GPS" with wild guesses, and the map jumping all over or shows driving down a road 40 miles away. and the notifications show a rapid on off toggle of the location access indicator.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Mine though to a lesser extent hangs and does this once in a while too. I'm optimistic that the forthcoming April update will address it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AndroidRaven:
Any update here?

Snapdragon variant and Maps and Waze keep losing GPS signal every 10 seconds and take 30 seconds to 2 minutes to catch up an which point they lose GPS again. So there's basically no real time location.

Anyone that has any success on installing BB on X1? I tried version 103 and 104 but the result is the same i.e it installs doing the rebooting but it can’t register it on my network so no PIN and there for I cant do enterprise activation. Any suggestions, please. BTW Spoke to SE today and there is an upgrade coming before December (what a surplice :) )
[XPERIA X1 General] DocMAX:
i also tried everthing, still no chance (pin pending).

anyone succeeded?
[XPERIA X1 General] chongbh:
Me too, I tried the version used for my previous HTC Touch Pro but it was unable to get registered and no pin generated.

I also need this software badly.
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
couldn't get it working on my phone. it would connect to the blackberry apn for one second but then disconnect.
[XPERIA X1 General] DocMAX:
to all hackers out there. please make blackberry connect working on X1. THANK YOU!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] chongbh:
Really kind of sad as there are no BB Connect for X1 after so long and I need it to check my emails on the go. :(
[XPERIA X1 General] robin92:
any good news until now?
[XPERIA X1 General] Shimpuu:
Hello Guys!

Yesterday I had the bb service (o2 Germany) activate at my contract. In the most post I read, that the main problem of pending PIN is. After I goten the activation sms I install "BB Connect 4.106". And what I see was very.....what can I say......exciting. I get a PIN!! But now, I have the problem that i cant login in on the blackberry site from o2.

I hope that anyone can use this information to bring full bb service to xperia!!!!!!

with best reguards

Hi @ all,

i'm thinking to buy the htc jade. But i'm not sure, wich ppc is better. The Jade or the Diamond?

What are you thinking about it?
[Touch 3G General] fullbandit:
Hi,

I asked myself the same question, and check specs, it seems for the same price, the diamond is better as it includes internal memory 4Gb, screen is VGA and few other stuffs. Then, jade is really nice, with modern shape...

So I would say :

for technical point of view: Diamond

for design point of view :Jade
[Touch 3G General] bomo:
The internal memory of Diamond is good, but it has not a microSD slot...this is a big problem for me. And the Jade has one. So I can use my 8GB microSD.

And the VGA consume more Battery as QVGA and most of programms are development in QVGA. I would prefer a longer batterylife as a VGA screen.
[Touch 3G General] ccris:
I will choose the Jade because I can use microSD cards and I can have more then 4GB.

In my oppinion VGA is too much for that tiny display size and it eats more battery...

On the other hand I will miss the radio and I can't find out if the Qualcomm MSM7225 chipset is equal or worse then one in the Diamond MSM7201A.

The Diamond has also a "Scroll Wheel", accelerometer and if the secifications I found are ok, camera with autofocus & 3D video accelerator...
[Touch 3G General] bomo:
I think I chosse the Jade.

The Release is the 03.11.09
[Touch 3G General] zocster:
hmm me already pre ordered can't wait to get it!
[Touch 3G General] SlappyHours:
Jade:

+ Cool design

+ No annoying glossy look

+ Hopefully longer battery life than Diamond

+ Faster than Diamond - the whole UI and touch screen seems to respond faster

- No VGA display

- No g sensor

- No auto-focus cam

Diamond:

... well...vice versa :)

The Touch 3G with a bit larger display (3"...3"2), VGA display and long battery life....would be just awesome. Surfing with 640x480 is more fun, even on a small display.
[Touch 3G General] Alekss_UH:
I think, much better would be 3" wqvga? display 400*240 and tv-out, it's my dream :-)
