GPS fix times

Hi everyone,

I don't understand the cold start and hot start measurements. I know what it means but is it real? My experience:

I flashed new ROM, radio n1 took 7 minutes in locking the satellites. After that, it took 15s to lock them again. So we have a cold start and hot start values.

Then I flashed radio n2. Used HTC GPS TOOL to erase the GPS memory. Took 20s cold start. Hot start almost immediately.

Flashed radio n3. Took 19s cold start, immediately hot start.

Then I flashed again radio n1. Took 15s cold start (not 7 minutes as before), hot start almost immediately.

My question? How do you measure cold start? Do you reflash the ROM or just the radio? How do you erase the GPS memory? Because it seems to me that the GPS memory is erased after ROM flash, not radio flash (or using HTC GPS tool).

I'm sorry if it has been answered before.

Thanx for replies.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
Here is a good explanation,

Hot Start - The GPS receiver remembers its last calculated position and which satellites were in view, the almanac used, and the UTC Time. It then performs a reset and attempts to acquire satellites and calculate a new position based upon the previous information. This is the quickest re-acquisition of a GPS lock.

Warm Start - The GPS receiver remembers its last calculated position, almanac used, and knows the UTC Time, but not which satellites were in view. It then performs a reset and attempts to obtain the satellite signals and calculate a new position. The receiver has a general idea of which satellites to look for because it knows its last position and the almanac helps identify which satellites are visible in the sky. This takes longer than a Hot Start but not as long as a Cold Start.

Cold Start - The GPS receiver dumps all information and resets. It then attempts to locate satellites and then calculate a GPS lock. This takes the longest because there is no known information. The GPS receiver has to attempt to lock a satellite signal from all of the satellites, basically like polling, which takes a lot longer than knowing which satellites to look for. This re-acquisition of a GPS lock takes the longest.

what will i get with flashing xperia radio, battery life or??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cloudedhopes:
1.10.25.25

just wanted to drop a few observations with the 1.10.25.25 radio

the signals at home seem to be weak (compared to 1.09.25.25) - it's been only 3 days, so it could be due to my network as well. and the battery life doesn't seem to last that long either (approx 1 day medium use). interesting observation is that i got nearly the same battery with both the radios mentioned, but 1.09 seemed to last longer.

don't use GPS or WiFi, and minimal use of Edge - so sorry, no comments on them.

hope this helps - will be keeping the same setup for another week or so to get better understanding.

Hello,

i've got an original German Kaisert (tytnII), with the original German Windows Mobile 6.1 Rom installed.

However, on the HtC site there are downloads for the tytnII rom, but in English.

Question: is it possible for me to simply load one of these Roms onto my original German tytnII?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Once you unlock your phone and flash HardSpl, you can flash whatever rom you want, as long as it is written for a Kaiser. But without unlocking the phone, you can't just " install a new rom ."
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tjohnso1:
Hmm,

i was afraid of that. But, as my unit is only one year old so far, and i might still require a guarantee issue, i'm reluctant to make this change.

Question: after doing a unlocking and Hardspl, is there a way of going back?

Also, (i know this is the wrong forum), but what is the easiest way of unlocking/hardspl on the phone?

i've already read several directions, and they seem a bit complicated. I've done this before on Prophet, but it seemed easier on that, i.e. run one or two programs and that was it.

Is there something similarly easy for the tytnII?

thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
WOW how long is your warranty? mine was only a year.

Yes you can go back, there is a guide on this site.

To unlock and flash, here is a great guide form mskip , if you can't follow this then you need to go back to a rotary phone:D

Hi

I've bought a new nike this year. First everything was fine, but some days ago it started to vibrate all the time. Even if it's off-state. I've made an hardreset, but some days later it started again.

Does anyone have an idea what I can do to stop this?

Please have compassion for my english. I'm German.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] lions123:
I had some similar problem after an update, where I used a wrong radio version. I could not perform any call (hear nothing), the telephone only vibrates without a sound during an incomming call, or when checking the ring sound.

Maybe you have an incompatible rom/radio package loaded.

Hi guys i wasnt quite sure where to put this thread but finnaly decided this forum was fine. I am sorta a newbie but have been reading loads. I think this website is awesome and i will probably donate!! Anyways i have been having a problem with my phone . It is a T mobile MDA Vario Uk IPL 1.06 and SPL 1.06 and WM5, OS 5.1.70 (if that matters)it died, i went to the tmobile shop they sent it to thier place but it came back unfixed. Anyway to make a long story short i turned out to be the charger but now a week back i have got it up and running again!! But when it freezes as it does everynow and then i have no choice but to take the battery out. When i turn it back on the date and time has gone back to November 2005! It does not do this when i turn it off by holding down the power switch. It also loses some tasks i have made . But wierdly not all the tasks. For example i had 4 tasks i took the battery out , when i restarted it the date went back to 2005 and only 1 task remained!. Is there some other way to put it of that i dont know about when it is frozen? Or am i just doomed to keep changing the date!

Thnak you very much for your replies and your time in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
Are you trying to soft reset the phone first? Are you trying to turn the phone all the way off? Removing the battery should be a last resort approach.

Here's the deal...

You can stave off a lot of these kind of memory/freezing problems in the future by loading some kind of RAM indicator (QuickMenu has a built-in one, can manage running programs, and gives you a Windows desktop-style start menu for programs instead of the dumb folder avalanche) to let you know you have too many programs running, and you need to do a soft reset every once in a while, or at least hibernate it periodically (you can do this from QuickMenu), just to jog it clean. It would also be wise for you to load a temporary file cleaner to clear out your temp files every once in a while...you'd be shocked how much crap piles up under the OS when you're not looking.

Lastly, since you might end up really losing some important data, I'd recommend getting DotFred's PIM backup tool and loading it on an SD card in your phone, and configure it to back up your phone regularly (like once a day at 2 am, for example). As long as the phone's left on, it'll do that for you, and if your phone really craps the bed, at least you'll have your contacts, meetings, and other info safe and sound.

Also, in the future, please add the info on your phone to your sig, so you don't have to repeat yourself 8,000 times, and you might want to try more descriptive titles for your topics than "Hey," unless you like being ignored... :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] amishra123:
Thank you Myrddin Wyllt but what did you mean by hibernating it ? do you mean just pushing the on/off button quickly so the screen goes of? oh yeah and thank you for all the advice on this forum i shal procede to do that now! Thnak you again

Yep i have done that now:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] joemanb:
upgrade your OS to at least WM6.

When I got my phone it had WM5 on it, and it used to lock up or spontaneously soft reset at least once a day, even though I soft reset it regularly. Since I upgraded to WM6 I no longer have these lockup problems.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] amishra123:
thank you i was thinking about upgrading but wasnt sure! About the battery thing i just found out about the little hole on the side. I think this solves the problem . But about upgrading will it make my phone slower or take up precious memory or something? And the big question which one?? Also some apps i would like to have require .net framework 2.0. I tried installing it on my phone on the storage card , i had about 50mb free but it still said there is not enough space and told me to clear up space and start again! will upgrading my rom also solve this problem? Is WM6 just like WM5 what are the differences i am a beit of a newbie here! You might have to treat me like a child on this one!

Also i was wondering out of the 47.4mb internal memory of the MDA Vario how much is used by the system and how much crap have i got on? Also if i use "clear storage" then will it also get rid of programs i have installed on my memory card and i have unlocked my phone. Will it re-lock it and return the old crappy t-mobile themes?? (i have spb moble shell atm)

Thank you in advance!

[Touch HD General] mcall_r:
I had the same issue when I had a Tytn II last year.

My issue is that when the phone rings while in normal mode, it is one constant vibration, which I dont like.

Also when i receive a text message in normal mode, the vibration is constant and lasts for about 4 seconds.

BUT

when the phone is in vibrate mode, the vibration for calls is a on/off vibration which I like, and for texts is 3 sharp vibrations which is a lot more useful in distinguishing whether it is a phone call or text that i am receiving when the phone is in my pocket.

Is there anything I can do to make the HD behave the way it does in vibrate mode for all calls?

There must be some sort of registry setting that can be tweaked.

Thanks in advance for any replies..

Hi,

I lost my g1 while snowboarding and I am devastated. I can't afford 400 or so dollar for a new one so my friend said he would help me out by cashing in on his warranty. However, he told me that if he were to call in and replace his g1 and they would deactivate the imei number so his phone wouldn't work on the network anymore (well he is giving me the new one).

Is there a way around this and how would we reactivate the imei number. Please help...

Since I picked up a mini usb to stereo cable for my phone I have been using it to listen to music more and more, I came across this program today and decided since i use headphones it might help increase the quality so I installed it. After I installed it I could not locate it so therefore I don't know if its working or not. Another problem I am now having is that the phone isn't pushing the audio through the stereo cable anymore. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Sorry if there is already a thread about this I searched and had no luck.

Did you soft reset after install ?? I've had to soft reset after install each time I've updated a rom.

Also, which version did you install - the ppc version, or the smartphone version ??

Looks like the smartphone version is called srs wow xt

your issue might be cause that is an app for a pocketpc and being how the dash/excalibur is a smartphone, NOT a ppc , be the reason for it not to be working.

Press Start > settings > remove programs and see if it is there.

Otherwise, try installing the smartphone version - you should get a message asking you to overwrite the "current" version on the phone before installing this latest version.

check in the remove programs first - it should be there

good luck

go to settings and then go to remove programs, there you should find it and just unninstall and delete with resco explorer

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HermitoZ:
Hi!

I've recently found this forum and I've found lots of nice info and stuff about my Prophet and I recently registered too.

Yesterday I bought a new Asus P750, since my Prophet has seen its best days.

Some time after I decided for the P750 I discovered that it had a VGA-screen, and I looked for VGA ROMs, but I didn't find any for my native language, Swedish.

So, my question is: Can I make my own ROM for the P750? I've got a Swedish upgrade to WM6.1 from the ASUS website and I thought if maybe it's possible to modify it so that it uses the full VGA.

Or maybe modify one of the existing VGA ROMs.

The things I want are:

VGA

WM6.1

some of the things Asus puts in the original ROM

and preferably Swedish

If it's not possible/very hard I've got some other questions:

1. I heard of memory leaks in some of the VGA ROMs, is that fixed yet?

2. If I upgrade my ROM I lose my warranty, but can I use the warranty if I change back to the original? Can they detect that I've used an unofficial?

3. Is it or will it ever be possible to not have to change ROM to use VGA? (only install a program or something)

Thanks for reading, and sorry if I'm hard to understand, just ask me and I'll try to explain further;)

Cheers,
