does anyone have agps working with at&t. as in you are able to be in a basement and using tomtom get your location.... im not talking about by the window and 30sec to connect. thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pai13965:
it took me almost a min from cold start (after soft reset) but only about 5-10 second after that. not bad at all considering that it used to take me upward for 3-5 mins with a lot of helps from other program (quickGPS + gpsToday) It was a bit cloudy outside, that might be the reason why it took much longer but still a huge improvement from my previous set up.. and now i don't have to start up anything else prior.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Operation619:
Nothing is going to give you position data in the basement. Nothing. AGPS? Forget it. Even if your carrier gives location data on the user plane to Tom Tom or whatever else, there is no way to get a lock underground.

I am amazed at what people expect GPS to be able do.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
Why in the world would you even want to use GPS in the basement? Are you getting lost trying to find the stairs? ;)

Especially considering the whole concept of GPS. GPS = Global Positioning System.

This is quoted directly from Wikipedia:

GPS needs to be able to "see" the satellites in order to lock. AGPS(from what I understand) still needs a strong cellular signal in order to work too. If you don't have a strong cellular signal then how is it supposed to triangulate your position?

Using GPS in a basement will never happen. I'm shocked I can get a lock in my bedroom to begin with.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] noellenchris:
I'll 2nd this.... If I'm kidnapped and locked in a basement or dungeon of sorts, AGPS would enable me to load TomTom and I could find out where I was locked up.:D

On second thought, I could just call for help on my Rafael...:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] fourcc:
some conclusions about these AGPS settings using Orange in Spain as the data connection used to communicate with the Nokia AGPS servers.

It works!

AGPS data arrives to the mobile and help the GPS, to get Fixes.

but there is one small problem, as AGPS is now enabled, it seems that the GPS SW (gps test, google maps, gpstoolpro, gpstoday, tomtom...) waits for the AGPS datat to be processed before it tries to get a direct fix with the satellites. Sometimes this can produce a delay. I mean that before, the "kick gps tools" such as gpstoolpro, gpstoday used to get really quick fixes without the AGPS settings. Tomtom used to stay really longer if it was not kicked by them. Since now that i have AGPS, Tomtom can acquire a fix very fast, but the "kick gps tools" waits really longer until they get a fix becasue they seem to wait for the AGPS data to be processed..

So it seems that the AGPS settings make tomtom get faster cold & hot fixes, but slow down the "gps kick tools" cold & hot fixes.

before AGPS settings:

cold start:

gpstoday 15 sec

gstoolpro 15 sec

gps test 1 minute

tomtom 2-3 minutes

hot start

gpstoday 6 sec

gstoolpro 6 sec

gps test 15 sec

tomtom 1 minute

after AGPS settings:

cold start:

gpstoday 20-30 sec

gstoolpro 20-30 sec

gps test 20-30 sec

tomtom 20-30 sec

hot start

gpstoday 15 sec

gstoolpro 15 sec

gps test 15 sec

tomtom 20 sec

times are aprox.

What about your experiences with these AGPS settings?

Share please.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] johnfoam:
Dharvey, when you fire up google maps, are you using the "Use GPS" option for getting your location? Also, what do you have set in your "External GPS" settings? Did you put the "GPS program port" to COM4 as has always been suggested? Also, hardware port = none? Thanks for all your work on this.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Da_G:
Just a small note, the cab actually has a typo (and it's my fault b/c i was a little inebriated when I typed up the post containing the info, and have since edited it!)

nokia.supl.com should be supl.nokia.com

It still works because the IP address is used directly unless it fails, in which case it rolls over to the hostname. But still, fixing it now rather than whenever nokia moves the supl server to another closet and your a-gps breaks would be a good idea :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
Good call. I'll fix this right now.

EDIT:: Cab file fixed with Da_G's correct URL.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] iboj007:
So would using the Nokia servers still work if you were on AT&T?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
I don't see why not. As long as you change the connection type to your carriers first this way your AGPS will still connect.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
@everyone - correct me if im wrong but isn't the Agps on our phone supposed to give you an approximated location whether you are connected to satellites or not?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
Yes this is true but you would need a signal. Example: My phone will give me approximate location before the GPS actually locks. Usually it is on the street behind my house instead of out front but it does work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] griffin911:
A quick thank you to the dev. My GPS finally works!

Great job!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Operation619:
Guys...do you REALLY think Nokia is going to allow Windows Mobile phones made by HTC, using Qualcomm (!) technology to access an AGPS service meant for carriers and Symbian software developers? Nah, I didn't think you really thought that! ;)

Access to Nokia's SUPL server is meaningless. The SUPL implementation is different on each handset (including Nokia's own families of phones) and, more importantly, is up to the carrier on how AGPS is handled and what LBS services are available on the user plane.

Plus, last time I checked, Nokia wasn't buying many Qualcomm chips. :)

I am really NOT trying to rain on anyones parade here. Really.

Maybe I am wrong here and if so, I'll buy beers next time any of you are in San Diego.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
You may be right. It may be a placebo affect that we are all experiencing. Like that Vogue Overclocking software everyone swore worked but was actually for the Apache and never worked on the Vogue to begin with.

I will swear by my results though. When I bought the phone it wouldn't even lock onto a single satellite regardless of what I've tried. Now even with extra.bin from QuickGPS deleted I still get 20-30 cold start and 5-10 second warm starts.

I may be wrong and if that's the case and I am then oh well. Being wrong actually helped me this time. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] reaeg:
I'm following his logic. If you can get a GPS lock somewhere you normally couldn't it's proof that you're getting aGPS data from the cell network.

I think you can do the same test by setting:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS]

GPSMode=1

forcing it to use aGPS data.

And yes, it works for ATT. I never could get aGPS working before, it would take forever to get a lock, I couldn't get one at all while at home and I'd have to disable it or Tomtom would constantly drop in and out. After changing these settings it all works!

Fix time went from a minute to 10-20 seconds (even less if it's a hot fix), I've got a signal with an HDOP of approx 1 while at home and Tomtom doesn't drop in and out!

Awesome work! Thank you! This was my biggest complaint about the Touch Pro, the GPS just took too long to get a GPS lock compared to my old E-Ten with the Sirfstar III chip but now the TP rocks!

I notice these setting set the poll interval to 100. There was concern that a higher poll interval would drain the battery so I tested it. I drove for 20 minutes running Tomtom then drove for 20 with no GPS running but the backlight kept on (to simulate the same conditions, since Tomtom keeps it on) and both drained the battery exactly 7%. So, it seems that GPS doesn't drain the battery much either way, at least not compared to the drain of just keeping the backlight on.

One point: while driving Mindfrost's buffer settings seemed more accurate, Tomtom picked up on turns quicker. Is there a reason to prefer 512 over 256 or 128?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Agent Blair:
I backed up my phone earlier and I may try this.

I think my data connection is disabled on my plan. Can this fix still work?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Operation619:
Harvey - I don't want to rule it out. However, there are so many different ways MNOs implement the back-end stuff to support AGPS and by extension, LBS applications.

I really think the TTFF and sensitivity improvements you are seeing have more to do with the Aided GPS rather than Assisted. In addition, there are all sorts of the things GPS receivers can do to help in the next acquisition - storing last position and recent live broadcast ephemeris, keeping time current, updating artificial ephemeris files re-calibrated with live SV broadcast data and so forth. There are just so many variables to consider in testing GPS/AGPS.

For LBS applications most MNOs don't "bootstrap" the GPS receiver TTFF by augmenting GPS data with E-OTD, OT-DOA, A-FLT or Enhanced Cell ID information to the handset. If they do they are very particular about the apps they will support by doing so.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] johnfoam:
I made all the edits and this didn't seem to make much difference for me. I'm on a stock at&t fuze (on at&t), and I did change the data connection to MEdia Net. When I was on Verizon, I had a CDMA razr. I used Verizon's native gps app (vznavigator) all the time. I was always able to get my location within ~20 seconds, indoors and outdoors. With my fuze, I can get a lock pretty quick outside, but never and I mean never inside, which I thought a-gps helped with (or at least it did on my razr). Why would I want a gps signal inside? Sometimes I want to plot my route before jumping in to the car, so I'm all ready to go. I feel like GSM's implementation of a-gps isn't quite as robust as CDMA's.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] chrishenry77:
Work on HTC Artemis?

Forgive me if this is a noob question!

But will this fix work on my HTC Artemis on a Uk carrier (as long as i change the cab settings?) or does the phone need some hardware for AGPS that mine doesn't have?

also do i make the registry changes after i've installed the cab?

any help greatly appreciated, only duff thing about this great phone so far is poor gps fixing times.

cheers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] sile87:
Worked also on O2 Germany! After installing, and editing the Registry. I got a fix between 5-15 seconds. Without that fix i had to wait for approximately 1-5 Min.

This might couled be an placebo, as us said.. but i dont care if i get fast fixes over all!! :rolleyes::D

To the MOD's sorry i didnt mean to make it sound like a question question. this streaming site has been tested by me on my TP with the SkyFire browser and it works great.

EpisodeTube.com

so ive been using this website for use on my computer for streaming tv and just found out its will work on my TP if i use skyfire. this made my day. Ive emailed the "tech support" for the site and they replied rather Quickly , apparently he also has a WinMo based phone and has been working on a " Mobile site for it which will be released sometime soon.

This site has all the latest shows as soon as they air and if theres a show you like that aint on the site you can request it and itl be about a week or so but itll get there. Its cheap compared to other TV websites or streaming servises to the phone. and for the ones who are sketchy theres a 3 day trial.

I personaly like it better on the computer but its nice to know that you can watch it on your phone too. Check it out.

** Will only work in skyfire Browser on ALL PPC's also check it out on your Computer.

A year ago, I remember I was heavily browsing through various HTC Hermes websites and looking for a compatible flash player so that YouTube videos could function. Unfortunately, at the time the only solution was going to a free website that you could then stream movies/music/etc... from your PC to your Wizard. I've gone through a few desktops/laptops here and there and I have seemed to have forgotten the website.

What I can remember is that you could create an account, and you would have access to all your files on the computer which you installed the program on.

Does anyone remember the website? thanks for the help!

Hi,

I've recently read a thread which is aimed to show people how to apply backgrounds image for all tabs, but there are several steps that I found quite confusing:

If there is a .png file @ 512x512 resolution,

How can I achieve steps below:

- remove 54 px from top

- remove 50 px from bottom

- increase width by 56 px, you should notice the empty area on the right

- resize the picture to 512x512 px, allow distortion

any help will be gateful! :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sabes143:
Hi

if you having problem with official roms then use onf of the cooked rom which is available here in this site. You don't lock your device when you flashing these roms. If you having problem with wifi and bluetooth then flash a good radio it will help you. First thing you have to do read about roms and radios sticky threads from http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430 It will give you great ideas what you can do your device.

Good luck
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kevbodian:
You can not easily relock your device. The lock information is kept in a security zone separate from what roms usually install to. My device is an unlocked DIAM100 and I am using hardspl 1.93 and I have tried just about every rom released here this month :).

Once you have hardspl installed, you can install any rom you want. I will tell you now, though, that 90% of the time, one of the cooked roms found in this forum will be better than anything HTC puts out. The HTC official roms are built to a very basic spec according to whatever provider orders them. They often have software you will never use OR they are unoptimized (a result of getting them out before a tight deadline). Cooked roms are usually built on the base of the newest HTC release while they have been customized and optimized.

EDIT:

by the way... just take your time to read the stickies. Sure it may take a few hours but it's better than destroying that $500 phone.
