[P3300, MDA Compact III General] frumpy:
I would like to know how to disable the internal GPS.

The reason is that I have found it to lose position fairly frequently whereas the TomTom Wireless GPS MkII I was using with my old Treo never once lost it's position.

So I intend to disable the internal GPS, and use my TomTom Wireless GPS MkII instead.

WinMo 6.1

Black&White v5.0

IPL 1.25.0001

SPL 1.11.0000

GSM 02.67.90

OS 4.1.0.7

thanks in advance

Paul
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Roman5:
I can only think of settings/GPS. Maybe setting GPS Program port to '(none)' instead of com4 might disable it? Also, I just had a look and when I load tomtom on the phone and go to 'configure' where I would select a GPS receiver to use, there's one which says Tom Tom Bluetooth GPS Receiver. Would that work for your wireless? I'm just guessing here.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] frumpy:
Thanks Roman. I don't see any way of validating 100%, but I think what's happening is when my external (TomTom Wireless GPS MkII) is connected, the phone is getting it's position from that GPS rather than the internal one.

So in theory, problem solved.

In practise however (I used it yesterday), the phone isn't losing the GPS position like before, but it seems to have lost a load of accuracy.

I need to do more testing on this.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] petz79:
I'm using a program for GPS tracking that records the current placement of the phone. I found out, that the GPS receiver is not working when the phone goes into standby mode (screen shuts off, usually after 30 seconds). During that time the program doesn't record the coordinates and only resumes after I wake the phone up.

The only solution is to set the timeout off, but the battery consumption increases too much. Is there a way to keep the GPS receiver running but still be able to lock the phone/shut down the screen?
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Dair:
Not a solution of your problem but still might be interesting for you...

I use GPS Cycle Computer for logging my track. It is working even in standby and has a great feature which is an option to select GPS run interval (no need to log every second) to reduce battery ussage.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] petz79:
Thanks, that's a very useful app.
[General Questions and Answers] djdemond:
Hi guys,

Many thanks to those involved in developing the Elite RC3 rom for the HTC Raphael its excellent thanks..

My question - Is there any way to have an automated scheduled change in the phone app from silent/vibrate mode to normal ringing.

I work in a healthcare setting and although I need my phone on me I am always forgetting to set it to silent when I arrive at work and back to normal when I leave. An app to switch modes automatically would be very useful. It would need to have several on/off timers per day and to operate over a 7day cycle.

Thanks in advance.

Simon.

Hi,

I have a peace of software runing in my WM6 HTC Shift device.

Is there a way I can prevent it from automatically being closed by the windows mobile automatic memory management ?

When memory is low it is automatically closed :(

Thanks
[General Topics] Bright.Light:
Yes, I would like to know too!!

And preferrably on a per app basis, so that one app that should continu to run must not be closed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] well0549:
Well i have a question.

When i use TomTom or IGO the position on the screen is always about 50 meters off to where I actually am.

So since IGO & TomTom Both have the same behaviour i guess i should look at the GPS module.

My old S730 was always spot on... when i looked at the screen and saw a turn on the left, there actually was a turn to the left.

Anybody knows how this can be solved ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
My TD2 does not have this problem, perhaps there is an issue with your particular phone?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IDrinkV8:
I thoght about it before and found out that it was not inaccuracy but the delay GPS chip needs to calculate your position. Do one test. Some time when you stop at a red light and you know you've waited for about 5 secs, check your position then. I believe it will be accurate then.

I noticed that some GPS's try to calculate your current position based on direction and speed you had few seconds ago. I found out about it one time when I waited at the red light in a long tunnel. Obviously there was no signal there, but when I stopped, GPS kept on showing that I was moving about 40MPH for several seconds before it finally showed lost signal message.

Some GPS's do calculate your position ahead of time and some don't.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] well0549:
Maybe it was because i had assisted GPS turned on...

If you do a search on AGPS LAG (ANY HTCPRODUCT WITH AGPS) then you will see enough posts that speciffically deals with this problem...

My old phone is SPOT ON with TT and my new 2 times faster phone is less accurate, and in a street with lots of turns, take a-lefts etc it's quite important to rely on the machine. And when the machine says turn left on the next corner, is that left the one i am currently at or the one 20 meters ahead from where i am now....

It should be just as with my old phone spot on
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] well0549:
Well disabeling AGPS definitely works...

I am now about 20 meters behind all the time. This seems acceptable although I keep finding it strange that my older phone was way more accurate.....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlp_svk:
you mean disable QuickGPS or disable AGPS in Advanced Config?? :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkai:
It is definitely a lag issue, not a precision issue: my TD2 internal GPS is at least as accurate as my Qstarz bluetooth GPS logger, and this one has a dedicated large antenna and good GPS chipset. TD2 sensitivity is also comparable, maybe even better inside building, and the time before locking a signal from coldstart is also comparable or better...

BUT there is a lag of maybe 30 m around 50 km/h in my car, and it is is indeed quite noticeable for driving directions...No big deal for me, as I do not rely on voice instruction but always have a quick peak at the screen (I was bitten by ambiguous instruction often enough in the past with other GPS system to have developped this quick peak habit ;-) )..but this lag is indeed anoying...

I'd like to try the TD2 using the external GPS through bluetooth, if I find time to do it this WE I will post my conclusions...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfvilela:
I use to have the same problem as you, so, I've tried the tweak referred in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=514912 and it did the trick for me.

I use iGo8 and NDrive and the accuracy improved a lot, it's almost spot on, no matter what speed I'm driving.

Regards,
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
I was in my mates Audi TT the other day. He has the built in GPS in the dash board. I noticed there was as much lag as you see on an HTC device.

Also was in a car a few months asgo with someone who had a stand alone TomTom device and that too had lag.

Unless you're paying thousands of Dollars for millitary grade navigation equipment, i wouldn't spare the lag issue another thought.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fru T Bunn:
Not long now ...

There's a bigger lag comming if the media are to be believed (and based on everything that comes from the tele, radio and newspapers these days - there're probably not - they can't even get the weather right)

"

Diamond1 paid £150 was spot on. No Lag. The speed indicator on tomtom was very accurate, not like on the diamond2 where it takes over 2 seconds to show a speed change. I am surprised that not many people have noticed the slow and inaccurate GPS performance of the D2.

Hey,

i had a problem (which turned out to be my carriers problem), however i tryed a lot of stuff fixing it and mangaged to lower the sound quality (in calls, not when i listen to music) significantly.

i hear the caller very unsharp and the sound is noisy and unclear, barely understandable.

Im using xda2's wm6.5.

is there any way to reset to the original in-call sound settings and get rid of the very bad sound quality?

thanks a lot, drdoomgod

its working fine on my side

Hello All i Have Updated to R3AA010(from here) Like to tell u and answer all ur question u will ask ill try.But till now from what i found is the following:

- The keys where u type the password to unlock ur phone change the color to brighter,and got a bit faster when u start up ur phone.

- when u press X butten it and flip ur scren to go landscap mode the panels in the R1A & R2A used to stop for less than a sec or so doesnt turn clean but in the R3A u flip the screan with in 0.5sec or less the panels rotate with no stops so clean...but didnt solve the idea of message sent...

- one of the great thing i find fixed is the sms texting! i used to write when i had the R1A and R2A the text doesnt apper directly only after a while it appers what i wrote at the same time even if it was update new while in the R3A this is sloved which is a good thing for those who write fast on the X1s Keybord...

- the Comm Manager as how it chaged from R1A to R2A it also change in R3A the font size & the speed!

- enter ur File Explorer go to windows in the R1A&R2A it takes time but it is solved in R3A its fast count till 4 it opens n u can work normaly...

- the media panel!!!all ask about its performenc!first time u turn it on it is so slow till it updates all the files video and surfing in it is faster in a way for me didnt find much diffrence..(but no radio and not the new media panel sad)

- Touch Quality Improved

[XPERIA X1 General] figofigo:

[XPERIA X1 General] kkarnaout:
since u r useing SPB Backup i search a bit u have lots of options it will give u when u download the upgrade ROM there is customize restore u will restore the things u want to be restored ur contacts sms ur programs and all that with out going back to the old ROM n it seems that the softwear will knw that u have upgreaded ur ROM so it will give u lots of options!!!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] figofigo:
thanks :)

but i heard that R3A has a lot of problem
[XPERIA X1 General] kkarnaout:
Will till now i had no problems with it its just a bug fix nothing more people wanted more and sony ericsson didnt give it made every1 down i had it for 4days n im fine with it atlest it is better than R1A & R2A... propzzzzzz
[XPERIA X1 General] Xperrier:
me,

I installed and now I am in trouble, my second password from the sim card is not showing anymore, the X panel are not working, I installed the active, and the R3a, and, I can't close down the phone, I also have some kind of flickerings with the screen....

Sorry, and, of course no good backup anymore.....

Also, when I uninstalled, made a soft reset, and touch the X for pannel, I received a message telling me, no more Panels Manager...? then I reinstalled the R3A, and now, kaput....
[XPERIA X1 General] kkarnaout:
the best thing is when u update is to remove all ur passcodes because lots of time they dont work after an update or a hared rest!

about ur panels instaling the panel manager which is given alon is diffrent completly from the one that comes with the R3A...

so as what u did reinstalling is the good idea or downgread to R2A till the R3A on seus or get a frish copy of the R3A..
[XPERIA X1 General] lunaticxgr:
hello mates.

i updated to r3 to, i cant say i saw many things changed.

Its official if its on SEUS (SE Update Service).

It has been officially released in some markets only -eg in Germany members have been offered, and many have flashed to, the updated ROM (R3A) via SEUS.

I would like to install the R3A on my phone too. Can u tell me where did u find the GENERIC UK version for download.

Also questions for u:

1) Does S2U2 work on R3?

2) Does Point UI work on R3?

3) has there been improvement on network coverage?

4) Is the phone any louder? I mean for the ring tones.

5) Has it hanged even once after u have the R3. If yes when was it?
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
you can get it from the link

I'm not sure about S2U2, but I have pointui work on my R3 UK ROM. not sure about the network coverage, but the video playback is wonderful (used to have stuttering in the youtube playback, but it's smooth in the R3 ROM)

I dont' notice any much louder on the phone, but I do think the phone is already loud by itself, alot of time it's the hand that's blocking the speaker that makes the phone sound softer than it's actually do.
[XPERIA X1 General] kkarnaout:
thanks for ur post

1)S2U2 works normely with the latest verison i instaled it(1.62) and used it for a while this is my frist time use for S2U2 and it seems fine and i like it so bad:D

2)Point UI works great and have no problems(SPB if way better i use it more)

3)The Radio v. is better i found that my phone have a better sgnal than it had on the R2A in may place in my house,univesity &on the road.

4)the phone volume is the same nothing changed at all.

5)and from the time i updated it there had been not a single hange, not like the R2A.my phone is complitly working smoth. with the 9panels instaled SPB MS3. S2U2.

i got the download from xda forms ill post it later

PS: im more than glad to try all what u ask.propz:D
[XPERIA X1 General] kkarnaout:
Its not offical coz as every1 says u cant downloaded it for SEUS..

but its worth trying and u will find a diffrence in ur phones performance.at least. And as i said my phone didnt hang n i didnt restart it from the time i updated now u can say i have it more than 6days...

Ok so I updated yesterday and so far all is great... seems much smoother, more responsive and over all much better... one thing though... when I first updated and then reinstalled everything and did all the tweaks I normally do I noticed that the battery stayed at 100% for 12 hours... at first I thought that maybe there was a bug cos it stayed up there for so long but it finally clicked down to 99% this morning after using the net for about 30mins... and after a few phone calls (approx 15 mins worth) several sms's and some more internet time (in fact from 0800 this morning till 1130 data connection (switching between E and G) was on all the time) it has gone from 99% to 93% which is pretty good going... seems the battery life has improved quite a bit... woo hooo... looking forward to R4 now...

it does as what u say i tried it now but i think also in R2A i forgot but if so this is also an good thing in the R3A..but what i found a real diffrence when i open the slide up is when i want to enter my passcode it works from the first time!that is a thing that didnt happen in the R2A and R1A roms!....

'Panel Manager', 'SE xperiance media panel' and the abbility to get the cnn panel working (doesn't work in old panel manager) but now I don't seem to have any of these?? I don't understand this, sinds this is that future 'R3A Rom', right? Now are there 2 different R3A roms or what?XD

Anyone have an idea about what is going on?

You find it annoying that S710 does a vibrate on reboot - well, I do.

This is why I have not yet put cooked ROMs to replace my good old VDA V ROM (which reboots silently and thus allows an easy silent cleanup at night).

The simple solution is to change the value for "DLL" at:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ShutDownHook to something invalid, e.g. "---oemhook.dll".

No clue what this oemhook.dll actually does (it is very small) but you cannot easily replace it as it is part of the ROM. For the experienced among you it could be possible to extract the oemhook.dll from the VDA V ROM and cook it into the newer ones - but the simple solution is above :-)
