I've tried these settings today using TT7 and it has made a big difference. At first the lag was still there but when I changed the baud to 57600 (from 4800) and soft reset again suddenly it kept up with my speed. At high speeds it is very good now but there is still a bit of a delay at slow speeds in town but it definitely catches up much quicker and is now useable as TT6 used to be on my Polaris.

Am very grateful to you for posting these settings. Thank you.

Can you fix the camera now please ;-)
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
sorry if this sounds kinda noobish but where can i change the baud and the COM4 setting? im using TT7 if this helps

thanks
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
In TT7 click bottom right window where the time is, then click the window on the right that shows number of satellites, then bottom left "configure" - should be straight forward from there.
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
I have another simple question. Does changing the baud rate within the application really improve anything. Because the application connects to a virtual com port (the windows mobile one) and gets its data there.

But the application doesn't connect to the gps hardware itself, that is done by the intermediate driver. The baudrate of this can be changed in "External GPS".

But for me it doesn't work, everytime I change it, it resets automatically to 4800 again.
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
I don't know the technicalities of it but I can say it definitely made a difference for me as I when I increased it to maximum baud to see if it would make further improvements the lag was awful.

When I compare the original settings of the Drivers in the registry between the HD with lag and my old Polaris which had no lag the only main difference was the poll interval so I am wondering if that is the key to the lag. I reset Pollinterval to 500 from 1000 on the HD and on the Polaris it was already on 500 as default. Just a thought anyway.

I always quit the application and soft resetted after changing the baud not sure if that would help or not.
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
when i go to configure my only options are internal gps, external, nmea something, tomtom device and one other i cant remember. when i select built in gps receiver it just goes back to the page where i could push configure.

any ideas please? im using the touch hd

thanks
[Touch HD General] mooro1973:
The explanations above re: delay are all correct. The faster you go, the further you have travelled whilst your device plots your position.

However, I long ago thought of a very easy and cheap solution that I am amazed no manufacturers have come up with.

A simple little script to move your car icon a few pixels up the screen the faster you go, would give the illusion that there was no delay. Must be easy as anything to do, and if I had any programming skills i would do it myself.
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
Don't select Built in GPS select Other NMEA GPS receiver.
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
cool thanks, sorted. one quick question tho, why nmea and not built in receiver? whats the pros etc?

cheers
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
Unfortunately it isn't that easy. By simply adding a few meters to the actual position you would make a (big) error while you are in a curve, or changin your direction in any way.

Another problem could be any change in speed.

Beside that good navigation software(s) do already their best to interpolate your position. iGO8 for example continues with the last speed, if you loose your gps signal (e.g. in a tunnel).
[Touch HD General] mooro1973:
I

It would only take a few pixels, and since on most turns or big bends you would be going slow anyway, the software would return your car to normal position.
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
The 'real' TomTom devices such as the Go720, XL etc all do this. They follow the same speed until you find the reception again, so i doubt it is a software problem. However tomtom on the HTC stops as soon as it encounters no reception which i found odd.
[Touch HD General] BerreZ:
How to ?

Hello acousticnorbert ,

Can you explain me how to "speed up COM4 to 57600 " when using TomTOM 7?

Thanks.
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
Use iGO8 :p.
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
See Post #68 on page 7.
[Touch HD General] acousticnorbert:
Hi, sorry, I use iGO8. In iGO (Navogon MN7 too) you can set the speed manually by selecting a value. Because it is a virtual device the driver answers at every speed.
[Touch HD General] bouya_k:
Waouw :eek:Hope it's the solutions of my GPS lag that I have from the Begining ....

I will test it tomrrow... hope it's the one !!!!

anyway thanks a lot for your research ;)

keep you in touch
[Touch HD General] bouya_k:
ahh finally I think that I fix my lag with GPS...

Thanks a lot ;) after 4 months
[Touch HD General] Matterhorn:
So it really does make a big difference?? This is welcome news...gonna try it!
[Touch HD General] wohew:
I´ve tested your values,

they don´t change anything. Same lag with and without regestry-changes! The lag is about 30 meteres!
[Touch HD General] altunaa:
i have already set the new registry values, but i don't know how to modify the COM4 port speed using garmin mobile xt.

can you explain, please?

thanks
[Touch HD General] onesolo:
Same here, on TT and iGo...
[Touch HD General] zuadao:
can anyone post the default values pls?? can´t find were i saved them
[Touch HD General] acousticnorbert:
Hi, these were the values, before I've changed them.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\InputBufferSize = 4096

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\OutputBufferSize = 4096

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\RetryWaitonError = 3

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\SleepOnNoData = 1000

at last: the new values work on my device, but I use:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\InputBufferSize = 64

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\OutputBufferSize = 64

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\RetryWaitonError = 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\SleepOnNoData = 250

and it works fine. But of course there are situations where the GPS is "some meters" behind, example: driving more than 80km/h on highways (that have a width >= 10m) - there must be a difference btw. real position / GPS position and road position. There are more situations where the position is not correct.

I've read most of the posts and tried to compare it with my experiences, have reset the original value (don't forget to soft reset the device!) and tried "my" new settings (see this reply) - just don't forget to soft reset your device after changing the reg.settings. And I noticed a big approvement of the GPS-accuracy - well IT CANNOT BE PERFECT!

At last: I don't want to be a "guru". So do what you need to do. I didn't want to have a perfect system, that's impossible because the maps are not perfect, just every second the decive gets a new GPS position and the system(s) doesn't evaluate the height. I just wanted bo have the same accuracy as my old HTC Artemis accomplished. That is done by the (newest) values I've posted, maybe a little bit better. I've had them parallel in the car at the same time: TomTom6@Artemis <-> iGO8@Blackstone: no significant difference with the new values but obvious differences with the old (default) values even at 35-50km/h.

Feel free to go your own way. Maybe HTC will serve a hot fix, I won't wait for that.

Sincerely
[Touch HD General] zuadao:
thanx a lot :)
[Touch HD General] gav28:
I for one welcome your updates, thanks. They have certainly helped with my iGO experience!

Don't forget civilian GPS at best is only accurate to a 15m circle, probably worse than that (have seen references to 20-50m accuracy!), and you can be anywhere within that 15meters circle! IN addition to that, civilian GPS updates once every second, you can easily see where any potential lag could occur.

These aren't meant to be military grade items....time to chill :-)

cheers

[Touch HD General] wohew:
Can somebody tell me, what is the sense of the poll intervall? What can I influence by changing it?
[Touch HD General] acousticnorbert:
I read in another forum, that the poll intervall is the intervall in milli seconds to reconnect the GPS is signal is lost.

I didn't notice any changes by modifications of this value. The default is 1000 (ms). Sbdy recommended to set it to 3000 (ms). I've done that but (as I told above) there was no diference on my device.

Have joy or fun at least

N.
[Touch HD General] Roupette:
+1 - Thank you acousticnorbert, I feel my GPS less laggy and with an acceptable imprecision now! :)
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
Tried these settings and found it to be a bit sticky with slight lag on my device.
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
This all worked nicely on my Motorbike. It also works in my car until I play music using Audio Manager at the same time. I seem to be getting a conflict and TT7 gets slower and slower until it freezes to a halt and a soft reset is required.

Is anyone else experiencing this or can anyone help?

Thanks.
[Touch HD General] ed.dark:
O/T - how do you mount the hd on the bike please - i'd like to use it on my 1150gs beemer!
[Touch HD General] bogdatov:
No go

Setting

InputBufferSize = OutputBufferSize = 512

or

InputBufferSize = OutputBufferSize = 64

and

RetryWaitonError = 1

SleepOnNoData = 250

Gives me frequent "GPS signal lost" and "GPS disconnected" messages. Reverting to original values - fixed the problem.
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
64 is too low, a NMEA sentence can consist of 80 characters, and there might be more than one nmea sentence.
[Touch HD General] bogdatov:
Few people posted 64 as value for InputBufferSize/OutputBufferSize as working.

I also tried 512 and 1024. Same problem.
[Touch HD General] dazza9075:
whats bizzar is that Igo8 for me doesnt have any apparent lag at all, where as tt7 does, i am wondering if there is any credability to the thought that its because the resolution isnt intended for the HD and thus its stretched out a bit, producing that apparent lag on the car Icon.

Ive only been able to get igo8 working in landscape mode and i cant get any evidance of lag but of course in landscape the resolution is actually correct which backs up this idea a bit.

Oh, whilst im at it, i use Memory map for navigating around the mountains and its perfect, even in the car driving it remains accurate to within about 5 meters, Memory map displays correctly at the HD's resolution and there is no stretching.
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
Just to add confusion I've made the following settings now - similar to default but left the baud at 57600.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\InputBufferSize = 4096

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\OutputBufferSize = 4096

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\RetryWaitonError = 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\SleepOnNoData = 250

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\GPSOneDevice\PollInterval = 1000

The navigation using TT7 seems to be as good as it was when I changed buffersizes to 512 but using these settings I can also play music with Audio Manager and TT does not freeze.
[Touch HD General] ksaipas:
Use of GPSGate?

Hi, Has anyone tried this:

http://franson.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4236

Seems to be working for me.
[Touch HD General] ksaipas:
I am mainly using Destinator 7 and there was significant improvement in the lag experienced.
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
I don't know if anyone of you has already tried another GPS receiver. I have tried my Slim BT GPS (Bluetooth GPS receiver) and have the same lag.

So, to conclude, its not the gps receiver itself that is responsible for this kind of lag. Personally the "lag" is not really big for me, in most cases its about 10-15 meters, just what the math behind it is suppossing.

Maybe its also a problem of the 2d graphic "performance". As already stated out the Blackstone has no real hardware acceleration, so its mainly up to the cpu to draw the screen. I guess this is the real problem, but there isn't much we can do about it right now.
[Touch HD General] carz2:
I am using the HTC Touch Pro, ROM 5.07.707.2WWE, Radio 1.11.25.01

I use both Garmin Mobile XT v5.00.20w and Mapking 2007 GPS software

I experience a 3 to 4 second so-called "GPS lag" when using Garmin Mobile XT. When i stop the car, it takes 3 to 4 seconds to catch up, but when it does, it jumps straight to the CORRECT position.

BUT with Mapking 2007, there is only a very very slight lag (which i think is normal, and comparable with another GPS pda i have which uses the SIRF star III chipset) , and position is updated more frequently and continously. One thing to note is that the map resolution on mapking seems to be lower, and screen redraw is faster.

I tested this many times to confirm and also switch software between one to the other to confirm that it is not due to the time of day or satellite positions or weather.

Maybe we should all FOCUS our attention on the video drivers, screen rendering issues ?
[Touch HD General] smurr:
I've tried tomtom 7.9 on the HD vs my GO 920T and there's a difference of about 50m between the two GPS.

When the HD tell me to turn right the corner is already passed behind :eek:

May be the new rom will change it cos they changed the refresh rate of the GPS chip.
[Touch HD General] Lucky_Luck:
I have installed the new ROM yesterday and have noticed that the lag did not decrease.

My TomTom (v7.450) now does now tell me it is waiting for a valid GPS signal. (still waiting after 30 minutes :mad:)

The strange thing is, it is updating my current position just as fast/slow as it did with the previous (stock) ROM.
[Touch HD General] Lazarou:
I have also installed the new rom yesterday and have tested my tomtom the voice instrctions were previously given when i was right on the turn, with the new rom they are given about 25 meters prior to the turn, so the lag seems to have improved.
[Touch HD General] dao:
My experience with this was before I got my HD.

A friend had just got his HD and has TT v7.910 with map version8.15 (i think but not 100% sure)

Anyway, he wanted to 'show off' with his phone so set TT going when we were in the car. So off we went and i noticed instantly the lag which was quite bad - even at slow speed.

I also noticed 1 other thing - that the directions were completely useless. As this was a journey I/we have made hundreds of times we knew the way & it told us to take a couple of turnings which we wouldn't normally take. We ignored this but then decided 'in the interest of science' to test it out further.

With a slightly deflated ego my friend agreed so out came my trusty TT go 710 pitted against the HD in 4 trips.

1st trip,

go710: "Turn right then take the motorway"

HD:"Keep left"

So left we keep - we had decided beforehand that we would follow the HD instructions as it may have calculated a route we didn't know about (on this trip the distance was the same)

Go710: looking at us as though we were stupid, calculates the new route

HD: "Turn left then turn left"

Doing this the next set of instructions were the same on both:

"Turn left, Turn right, Turn left then take the motorway" - basically a square! The HD had sent us round in a square!

2nd trip - there was 2 miles difference - more on the HD - didn't do that one

3rd trip - there was a masive 12 miles difference on a journey of just over 200 miles on the go710 213 on the HD. At this point we give up.

I now have my HD but refuse to buy the TT software, instead sticking to my reliable - if not a bit bulky go710.

I'll pass on the reg tweaks mentioned here to see if that makes a difference but as far as direction writing IMHO it's the worst piece of software on the market.
[Touch HD General] Dogtag:
Stopped using tomtom -- Igo is (in my humble opinion :D) far better, way faster, seamless european navigation door to door, automatic day and night settings, better customization, without a quickgps download it finds 3 or more signals in a mere 10 seconds.(coldboot 40/50 seconds), been using tomtom and Igo for almost 5 years.

Hey everyone! After lurking for weeks and doing updates I signed up to give props and dig a little deeper....

I started with a G870A running 4.4.2 NG3 and needed to enable VoLTE, following r0ckarongs effortless tutorial I updated to 6.0.1 QD1 through the individual updates.

https://xdaforums.com/t/eol-g870a-m...es-latest-qd1-updated-20-04-2018-eol.3494717/

Unfortunately, I read numerous reviews of KK vs LP, KK vs MM, LP vs MM and thought 6.0.1 would be the way to go......and I looooathe it!

Has anyone developed a smooth method of downgrading from the 6.0.1 version back to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4?

Tips on AT&Ts bloatware removal would also be helpful....

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Droid Roids:
That's what I'd found as well, along with a few that claimed success using numerous programs to start fresh - no confirmation on the accuracy of that though.

With the PH3 (6.0.1) update came a stock image containing the 6.0.1 bootloader, essentially making any previous device identical to one with factory installed MM.

I was thinking a stock image of KK 4.4.2 would function the same as the PH3 update by reverting the bootloader and OS, I can do most anything with a pc but Android's a new animal....so, I'm likely incorrect and have no idea wth I'm talking about. lol

Having tweaked and swapped a lot of pc software and OS I figure it may work since the older version OS would still match the original hardware - maybe someone will chime in that's tried it or has a copy of the KK factory image I can try installing. I actually have a NITB G870A....but haven't the faintest clue how to get a copy of the factory image off of it......

I appreciate the input Brother, thanks for the response!

Thank you, please add favorite location.
[Xposed Framework Modules] AndroidX:
Yah i will add in next versions if get good response from users🙂.
[Xposed Framework Modules] vintotale:
You could add subsystem activation in LSexposed as a recommendation. If the user does not tick any app, the Spoofer will say the module is not activated, even though it is.
[Xposed Framework Modules] AndroidX:
you have any reference? I don't understand
[Xposed Framework Modules] vintotale:
Please see the screenshots, #3 being an exemple of subsystem shown as recommanded. Maybe the label of the message box when opening the spoofer could be more explicit (activate the module AND at least one application for exemple).
[Xposed Framework Modules] XlAfbk:
I tried it with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.groundspeak.react.adventures and while it me "somewhere" that location is nowhere near the selected place. It seems to like the middle of Germany - which is nowhere near my real or fake location.

Have you try close target app? Or try different location
[Xposed Framework Modules] XlAfbk:
Yes, it stays with a randomish location even after restarts
[Xposed Framework Modules] AndroidX:
Have you try with different app? Like google map coz in my testing its working in all apps
[Xposed Framework Modules] XlAfbk:
It happens with any app - but I now found a pattern: After reboot and setting the location once all is good, then I change the location several times and the set location starts to drift from the one received by apps. The fake location stays somewhere close to the location first set, even if I set the location to australia or something.

[Xposed Framework Modules] PedroCaseiro:
This works on Tinder. Thing is I had to reboot the phone after setting the location. After turning off the spoofer the fake location was still set.

I disabled the module but then tinder was having trouble finding people nearby.

What solved it for me was clearing Tinder data + cache and then logging in again
