Thanks for taking the time etc.

Interesting, because..

I've just taken a wonder outside and found I'm still getting the signal constantly being lost bug (looking at the screen that shows the sat. bars I have a good signal for a few seconds, then this goes and 'No GPS device' is displayed, then good signal back again and so on).

On this Diamond I'm using ROM 1.93.401.2 the the supplied radio (1.0.25.05), as I suspected this 'improvement' (potentially) noticed by you/others is more likely a result of a ROM/radio update and not a TomTom software update (guessing this AGPS bug isn't the first thing you try after flashing is it?).

Hmm..

nb. I'm using the exact same version/build of TomTom as you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
hmmm... yeh, i'm going on a 60+ mile journey later, so will have a play.

Using Dutty's 3.4 ROM and Radio is BS14...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wheresmybeaver:
I thought that the whole point of AGPS is so you could help you get a GPS fix when indoors. Which I always thought was an unusual selling point when the entire purpose of GPS software is to help you find your way in the outdoors. Perhaps it could be more useful for those new tagging services that are popping up.

Anyhow I've been running a fairly recent version of iGo8 using Dutty's Rom 3.3 and 3.4 (both with that new radio).

With AGPS turned off, GPS signal is quickly attained and holds strong outdoors. Nothing indoors, naturally.

With AGPS turned on (via Duttys "AGPS Settings" utility), GPS signal is as quickly attained and flickers fully on then fully off, repeating constantly. When indoors, nothing at all.

So, with iGo8, AGPS seems to be a non-runner.

By the way, I once read that AGPS has to be configured to your particular mobile provider. Perhaps that's the issue?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Pitchb3nd:
Same here, with a-gps enabled signal drops constantly
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
after my journey yesterday, had the same problems as above.

tried with TomTom 7 and iGo8
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ben cole:
I've never had any problems with GPS apart from slow getting a moving fix when the unit is physically very hot.

The main benefit of AGPS for me is that you can get your location on Google Maps within 1500m or so without enabling GPS.

It also proves A-GPS works.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] audiophil:
Hmm, I think this is thanks to googles effort, not AGPS... Google uses Google Gears API which can position you by using basestations and SSIDs.

AGPS is correcting/updating the GPS data with actual almanac data sent from you mobile provider...

Same for me, anyone being able to use TomTom and AGPS without losing signal periodically?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wheresmybeaver:
Yeah Google Maps does this on its own without having AGPS enabled on the Diamond. I believe AGPS is supposed to be more accurate than 1000m - 1500m though.

Oh and I believe the way that Google Maps gets its position depends on your mobile provider. I used to get the message "your location is not available" constantly on my network but one day (simultaneously as the iPhone was released in my country), the location was available. So I believe that the network flicked a switch for this technology to work.

AGps and TomTom

Hi,

agps have need to run to:

1) Carrier to inform MobilePhone here is (Is a Base Station Issue)

2) Public information about position

On mobilephone if is enable i think is need to have different information, and tomtom have old pattern to process agps information.

With googlemaps have new process and can use.

With my diamond agps run (googlemaps)

Cityhunter71
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lost_in_translation:
Please, don't mix the Google technology and A-GPS. They have nothing in common.

Google maintains their own privately held database of GSM-cellids which GMM can query to determine your position based on the current cellid.

A-GPS is a technology where the GSM-basestation itself receives GPS-satellitedata and relays it to the device. With this additional data, the GPS-receiver in the device is supposed to achieve a faster fix.

Have fun!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Brendo:
a-gps works with 7.450

i remember once that it was taking forever for the satelites to be found yet is was updating my postion on the map constantly via a-gps (which im sure was enabled by default in stock rom as ive never changed it)

a-gps is useful inside because you usually have your phone with you and to find a route, you need gps ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ben cole:
Apologies for my erroneous post.

I realised my error today when I installed Google Maps on an ageing Blackberry I had unlocked to play with.

Started it up and lo and behold there was my location....thought I'd better head back here to suffer my shame ...LOL:o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SimonW500:
Thanks for the input guys.

So - in summary:

Even with later ROMS / radios / software applications, there is still yet to be seen any benefit from the Diamond (theoretically) having an A-GPS capability.

RUBBISH!!

I personally subscribe to the theory that there is a missing link between the A-GPS driver type software and an info feed from the likes of the network operator, ie. it's all very well it picking up info on the network but without a back-end database to translate this it's useless.

As far as purpose goes.. I personally think A-GPS sounds on paper to be a great idea. Not a replacement for GPS, nor to be used exclusively indoors, but a good aid/starting point. For example, if I'm sitting in an unfamiliar office in London and wanted to use TomTom to navigate me a route to where I want to get to, A-GPS could provide TomTom with a rough starting point. Similarly, I often find myself launch a nav program (when I'm lost!) and standing there for up to 5 mins waiting for a fix.. at least this would give me an approximation from which I could probably work out myself where I was from looking around me. In my mind when you first fire up TomTom on the Diamond A-GPS should simply put you in the right postcode and start doing its stuff while the GPS seeks out its signal, and not still show me as being either at Home or its last known destination. But in any event - it seems not to work!! Bugger!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] californiarailroader:
I thought that aGPS was also to help hold a GPS signal when in tunnels, canyons, heavy forest cover (ie.Redwoods in this area, many tower to well over 300 feet!) or any situation where the signal from the satellites may be impaired, or even blocked completely.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dannyoneill:
Im running Duttys 3.5 and with AGPS on I will get a signal for 10 seconds, then it goes for a second, then back for 10. then gone. Turned AGPS off and all is well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tunppi:
I can confirm that AGPS does work, some parts here in Finland it works and someplaces it does that on off thingy. once when I was just playing with my tomtom it got signal where it would never get it without it. but mostly here it doesnt work properly so i disable it.

But in Helsinki (larger city) it works properly and helps getting signal fast beneath tall buildings.

But yeah it doesnt work in my hometown so its kinda rubbish here.

Maybe it has something to do with how new are nearby cell towers or something. dunno
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] audiophil:
In Trondheim, Norway it worked with Telenor and gave me a signal indoors, but when I use it together with TomTom the signal gets lost periodicly, really really annoying since "everything" is already there. Probably just something with the co-operation with the regular GPS or something?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tim VdW:
I think i got it to run.

I use tt7.910 on diamond with htc 1.93 dutch rom

My mobile provider is mobistar.

I can get a lock inside, tough it's slow(ie not as fast as outside).

When I fire up tt7 the almanac data is showing in the satelite screen.

reg settings are:

GPRSConnection: Orange World
GpsMode: 4
Network: Orange World
ServerIP: 194.51.71.138
ServerPort: 7275
ServerUrl: agps.orange.fr
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dannyoneill:
the issue many of you are having is the basestation you are near doesnt support agps. when at home i can enable agps. at work it doesnt work, on the way home it works, then looses it and back on again at home.

doesnt matter what rom or version of tomtom, its all down to your basestation.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] roabras:
I'm using Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_MSVC__2.03 and Tomtom v7.450.9028.

When driving, TT used to take 1-2 minutes to start working, with AGPS option on it took 10 seconds.

I'm inside a building that TT doesn't get a signal. Now with AGPS on it starts working in 20 seconds.

So I supppose that AGPS is good.

But there is a very strange thing. It doesn't use my 3G connection. I'm absolutetly sure that it doesn't connect at my gprs account. Why is that?

One question: When you turn AGPS on, it works in parallel with the normal GPS or does it turn off the normal GPS?

Thanks,

Rodrigo
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mandragore:
It seems dharvey4651 got AGPS working to his advantage on his Raphael and T-Mobile USA. And if I'm correct, with the help of Da-G's GPSOneApp.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I get so tired of not being able to hear my Assistant when I trigger it with the screen off and would really like a way to make sure that my adjustments to volume don't impact Assistant. I seem to remember something like this existing in the HTC days where volume could be controlled on a per-app basis but I haven't heard of anything recently. Is there such a tweak? You would think with how hard Google pushes their Assistant that they would have done something about it themselves.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rester555:
They should have had a volume mixer for Android a long time ago. Similar to windows
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Agreed. I swear I used to use custom ROMs with this on my HTC devices but I never needed such functionality. Now that I have a Pixel that actually works with the trigger phrase (my OnePlus 9 would just randomly stop working so I mapped long press power button to Assistant instead), I want to use it, but when I use my device, I turn the volume down lower than it would have to be for me to be able to hear my Assistant from a distance so I end up having to pick my phone up anyway :/
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
It used to be that you'd edit several lines in (I believe) build.props (or some props file) in a terminal app that would bypass the volume limit. That may still work, it's just been so long, I can't remember anymore but I might try searching old threads in old devices and see what I can find.

This might get you somewhere

Hello everybody! Suddenly i have no more sound feedback (like writing on real paper) in screen off memo and in notes. Yesterday i have this sound feedback when writing on locked screen. Now, without changing any settings, i have not. I only have sound feedback in writing on screenshots. In advanced settings- s pen i have sound enabled for removing--attaching s pen and for screen write. What gives?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] blackhawk:
Any updates or new/uninstalled apps?

Try clearing the system cache. Try a hard reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] urdurusuluian:
Thank you for your resonse. But how to clear the cache?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

It's on the boot menu on Samsung's.

It sometimes cures bizarre behaviors. I clear it about once a month or after major installs/uninstalls.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] urdurusuluian:
I just clear the cache partition and still no sound from pen except when writing on screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] blackhawk:
Probably something simple. Try a Google search and include Samsung members forum.

Annoying but I wouldn't sweat it or factory reset for just that. You'll likely solve it in a few days or weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] waltdisneypixar:
Same thing here

Couple of weeks now without the sound

I thought it was because i uninstall the app for writing and install sketchbook app but no

Any solution? I really love it the sound
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] waltdisneypixar:
I just enable Spen to text i had to enable samsung keyboard and now i have sound only when doing that writing on a search box

What the ......
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] waltdisneypixar:
I don't have the option screen write sound
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] blackhawk:
The app may have changed hidden user settings and done a less than clean uninstall. It happens.

Reinstall the app and revert the change setting if possible.

Clear system cache. Hard reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] waltdisneypixar:
What app? Do you have the this tablet?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] blackhawk:
The 3rd party app you think might have caused it.

Nope. Samsung's share common problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] waltdisneypixar:
I don't think it was any app doing. Maybe it was an update lets see if anyone replies that have the tablet without sound
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] blackhawk:
You're the one best qualified to find it. Cause and effect. The last things that were changed before it stopped working. This is one reason you don't allow auto updates, one less variable.

Sampling apps can cause big problems even after the app is uninstalled. I've seen it with a Google reading app. Rare but it happens. Best practice to install apks/version you previously vetted only.

Try in safe mode...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] stefan_hcx:
This has just happened to me too. Trying to figure out a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] stefan_hcx:
One clue
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] RazviOverflow:
I have a Galaxy Tab S8 plus. I'm suffering this problem as well. It happens to me several days ago, after updating both the OS and the stores. I'm also actively looking for a fix.

Scribble/writing sound only works in Handwriting (when you write in a box and the software converts it to text) or when S Pen to text is in use (only when in given text fields). None of the drawing or note-taking applications produces the sound, regardless of the settings. Obviously I checked the tables is not in do not disturb mode, silence or vibration only. Additionally, I double-checked the S Pen sound is on.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] blackhawk:
What I learned over the last decade about Samsung firmware* upgrades/updates, they tend to break things.

Rule #1- if an OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be! Anything from Pie and above is reasonably secure in actual use without updates or upgrades if you don't do stupid things.

If worse comes to worst as long as the boot loader wasn't upgraded too (Samsung does that double whammy sometimes) you can roll it back.

Eventually... Samsung will probably patch it.

* includes Buds+ and other Samsung bt devices as well, last firmware upgrade degraded the sound quality of one pair I have🤣 If you have a pair don't upgrade the firmware. Last version shipped from the factory runs A-OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] stefan_hcx:
@blackhawk Take a look at this https://samsung-notes.en.uptodown.com/android/versions. Can you please explain how there are higher versions like 4.7 when the latest is 4.4.00.64 in Galaxy Store? Is it that they made the version and it somehow got there, but they don't publish it until further bug testing? EDIT: Or maybe a higher number in the version does not correspond to a higher version (judging by the dates)? I'm not into these things...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] blackhawk:
Don't know. Not reassuring though🤣

Before you side load anything scan with online Virustotal first. If there's any doubts delete that apk. It's not worth the risk.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] RazviOverflow:
I have solved the problem by uninstalling the updates of the Samsung Notes application, as suggested by another user in the Samsung support page.

Just for the record, the problematic Samsung Notes version is (at least in my case): 4.4.00.64. After uninstalling the updates, it got downdated to 4.3.14.47.

The sound, however, does not work in PENUP nor Noteshelf, even though this bothers me in a lesser way since I dont use these apps that much.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] waltdisneypixar:
Still nothing with ultra
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] blackhawk:
Samsung updates have a long history of screwing things up including the Buds+ and the Good Lock family of apps. It can be a real time consuming pain to track down and correct.

Worse than malware to deal with.

Blocking updates on a stock device is no fun either. Give Samsung enough time and they can screw it up... Samsung is starting to remind me of Gookill and both of iPhone.

I don't like iPhones...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] userxyz123:
Samsung S8 Tab Ultra having just upgraded to Android 13 and OneUI 5. Presumably a bunch of app updates after that but either way, the s-pen sound has stopped working despite being enabled :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Anachay:
I just got my S22 ultra brand new a couple days ago and when it offered to update to Android 13 I went ahead and updated only to notice that I too, no longer had feedback from the Spen when writing or drawing. It was annoying to do because I had already set my phone up just the way I like it, but I factory reset the phone and sure enough, the writing and drawing sounds came back for both Samsung Notes and Penup. So you may try factory reset if you haven't already. This is what worked for me, of course, now I have to set up my phone all over again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] waltdisneypixar:
Factory reset? maybe i ll do it on Christmas eve with plenty of time to kill lol

Thanks and happy holidays to all
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] stefan_hcx:
The sound is on for me now. Maybe they fixed it in the last soft update?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] waltdisneypixar:
only in screenshots edit for me
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Goleihm:
Hey, I think I've been having the exact same problem with no sound effects. For me, it was because I had turned my system sounds completely off. To turn them back on, I went to Settings>Sounds and vibration>System Sound, then put the System sound volume slider off 0. Another way is by tapping the volume button, pressing on the three dots at the top of the pop-up volume slider, and then turning the system sounds up from there(far left slider).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] akshara30:
Hey, sorry for late reply. You can follow these steps:

1. Turn off s pen sounds from advanced features in settings.

2. Restart your tab/phone.

3. After restarting, from settings, turn back on the spen sounds.

4. Make sure your system volume is up.

This worked for me, I hope it'll work for you as well!

HI all. I'm doing some research, trying to determine what to expect for ROI for having an app developed and released to Android and Apple App store. I'm finding it very difficult since there is a wide range of types of apps which comes with vastly different development costs as well as different revenue structures for different apps. I'd love feedback from anyone that has developed and released an app for profit. It's worth noting I am not a developer but hiring this out. I've spoken with a couple firms and the price is a little steeper than I thought and want to ensure it's a wise venture and investment before I get too deep into it.

Thank you to anyone that can add some input based on their experiences.
