GPS lag

Sorry for the time passed.

But after some reading and some tests, here it goes.

_Crass_ just go to your registry and change the value of PollInterval.

Its value can be 100 or 500, tested with 500 and it takes some to update its position, but the satellite fix is fast.

The value with 100 it does the job, updates the position a little bit faster but the battery goes also a little faster, which i would say its pretty normal, since the use of GPS always require battery comsuption above normal.

The HTC fix speeds up fix (at least for me a noticed it), and unlike said in other topics, it ain't the same as GPSCleanData, since when it coldstarts it still has some data of satellites (its location are still present into the the gps program and its uploaded by the program almost instant), so it aint clean. Regarding the same program, tested it, and its slows down or even makes it impossible the fix of satellites.

Regarding to this, i had everything done without the fix, and watched the signal form satellites and then after some seconds it fixs. But then i had to hard reset, and took the chance to try new ways to speed it up. Besides all changes made, htc fix applied, as soon at it gets signal it fixes. A way lot better than before.

Regarding the procedure heres a link to that same topic in xda-developers.

U cant skip any step, or it wont fix any satellite. only "play" with the PollInterval. Change registry, SR, apply HTC GPS fix and then update QuickGPS. SR.

Tests were done with:

-> T*mT*m v7.915.9196

--> Iberia Map 835

-> G*rmin XT Mobile 5.0.0.20w

--> Portugal&Sapin 2010.20

By the way tried TT, and then shutdown (the program only), tried G*rmin. Started normal and takes the same time both. No complication encountered by changing gps program or no need for restart/SR. If u encountered a problem where by changing gps program u cant put the 2nd to work, i recommend to update your program to the latest buil. Its working fine.

Regarding times, i had a fix of 18 to 20 seconds (why so much time ?), here's why:

Well, i only had time to play wih it today, so i did tested, regarding in clean weather, i'm expecting 8~12 sec.

Another important, the PollInterval was tested by changing each value and go from one point to another and see if the GPS program manages to update position.

It was tested with both values, and each time i changed i did a SR.

Any more tries, i sugest that u show your test conditions so "we" can compare results. I also think that HTC Pro suffers form different problems regarding to its use, so therefore it may not work to someone in specific.

The GPS Mod Driver can fix lag and more..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NKTA:
I tried, and it seems not having any much difference. I use TomTom with the GPSModDriver and Garmin with the original COM Port 4, i mean, one uses that driver and the other the original.

No difference registered, but if anyone that can at this moment hard-reset its device and test Mandragore solution, he/she would be welcome.

I have been reading the the posts and noticed a lot of simularities between the registry edit:

I prefer edit each one by myself, avoids installing bugging or unstable software by third parties. Besides the fact its working ... pretty good for a very unperfect device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] whistler4ever:
I've tried this method with NRG's EnergyRom, same radio, same rilphone. And all that my GPSTest does is in the attached pic. It just sits there changing the satellite numbers, but never getting any green or yellow bars.

Any tips or hints?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] secc123:
Thanks...

Hey NKTA, just tried this on my TP - works perfectly!!! ;)

I have never got a signal indoors, did this procedure ad its locked (from cold) in about 6 seconds! :eek::eek::eek:

Many Thanks

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NKTA:
Thank You

Glad it worked for you, but there seems some other suffers from different factors.

To make sure its available to all:

Here's a PTB or PT version...

Here's an English version...

If HTC TP (or Raphael ) having problems in locking satellite, try this fix to see if it works. Remember also to update quickGps since it speeds up the locking procedure.

Hi there

I got a white 32B from German Vodafone.

SAPPHIRE PVT32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.330007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO 2.22.19.26I
Jul 31 2009.15.49:25

It has 1.2.1 recovery, which is nice, as I can change the ROMs, but...

I have no idea how the guy flashed this recovery. I'm trying with the second phone (exactly the same)

The method with original RUU and downgraiding, fails (wrong RUU for this model).

I can't fastboot boot or fastboot flash on both phones. I get FAILED (remote: not allow) and the SPL is NOT perfect!

The guys here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4649780&postcount=43

have the same problem.

How can i use fastboot? Guess the perfect method is not for me.

How can I root the second phone? It has 1.6 now and refuses to go back to 1.5...

Ok the method with flashing ENG SPL via update.zip via recovery worked for the 1st phone (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529019)

Now it's only how to root the other...

BTW What does RADIO mean (on the fastboot 3-boards white screen) ? I can't find it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] skhell:
It seems that we have the exact same model:)

As you saw on my thread, I used the 1 method click to flash the recovery rom, and from that install the ROMS.

As for the flashscreen, I did not find an answer, I guess that the only solution will be to flash a new SPL that allows to flash through fastboot.

On some threads that I created and were blocked since they were in the wrong section(I was stupid, twice...), they have sugested to update to the Engineering SPL 1.33.2005 using the recovery method tool.

I have never tried it since I haven't seen anyone with HBOOT-1.330007 that have changed its SPL... I don't want to risk bricking it... I have been told that there are some risk, but not too big... any way, I still have not tried to flash the SPL.

You said that you have flashed a first phone with a ENG SPL, what was its original SPL and how did you flashed if?

I had this spl inside my Magiic from Voda Germany

HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)

I used "RecoverFlasher" to get another recovery inside.

Then I Booted into recovery mode and flashed

HBOOT-1.33.2004 into the phone.

It is now running perfectly well with AmonRA s rom

and AmonRa 1.23 recovery inside
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] skhell:
Humm, thats excellent news, finally someone with an HBOOT-1.33.0007 that had changed its SPL :D

Thanx ;)

Did you use the "Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 - MD5 : 1B49F0A53E147171E7C51F08510CF95F" from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529019?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Altembas:
Well for now I've got

1. white 32B with an eng SPL (Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 - MD5 : 865020FBDFBD9C08950076A701A8A003) changed from 0007 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529019). recovery 1.2.1 -> select zip file -> reboot and it worked. then i flashed my boot screen with fastboot, as in the tutorials.

i'm doing everything using the recovery and the 'update.zip' position in the menu. right now having cyanogenmod 4.2.2 with my native Polish keyboard installed as an app from the market. Works great.

2. black 32b with Donut 1.6 which refuses to do fastboot and adb flash. What's more HTC Sync doesn't recognize the phone and the RUU (from the 1 click method) says there's an error with the files (and shows strange ROM version installed on my phone)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] skhell:
I am starting to like this thread, I see that I can flash two SPLs on my phone with no problem :D

I guess that your only option will be to use the "Gold card" method, but I really don't know how that works, there are quite a posts over the forum with info on that, a quick search will tell you how.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Altembas:
I keep getting this:

and later err 155...

seriously wt*?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] skhell:
Have you tried the "Gold card" thing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Altembas:
nope, i don't feel like buying and then destroying an SD card :) I'm not that desperate... yet!

I'm concerned about that RUU which shows vfpioneer-user instead of the ROM version...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] skhell:
I don't know how the goldcard method works, but how will it destroy your SD card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Altembas:
I've found in some tutorials that when you write bytes to the card it stops working as a normal card. Probably because you write from sector 0, and i guess there is some important data stored.

If personally find it VERY odd. If you can use (under linux) dd to write to the card, then you can use it to read from it it's original bytes and restore them later. That is ofcourse if the card (after turning to goldcard) will be recognized as a SD card...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] skhell:
I do believe if that happens, if you make a copy with dd, you can safely restore it. Just to be sure, you can also make a backup of the partition table of the sdcard.

Oh, the dd tool is also available to windows, but I guess this kind of things should be done on linux :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Altembas:
I don't mind using linux. Actually I use both everyday. And it seems easier to use dd than some fancy hex editor under windows.

Anyway, my only concern is that, I may overwrite the bytes which identificate the card as a SD card (and not as a MMC for instance) and then the usb reader and linux woun't be able to use it... So there will be no way to use dd to restore backup...

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I'm exaggerating and the only problem some ppl had was with the Windows Hex editor editing to much. I see no reason why the 'dd method' shouldn't work...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Altembas:
Ahhhhhhhh!

Finally some progress, little but still. RUU finds my phone (and version number) only if my magic is in fastboot mode! Then it actually works, until it starts to check the CID number...

rom.zip contains android-info.txt which has a different cid number (i'm talking about the 1click method).

The question which arises is why can't i edit rom.zip and put there recovery flash, eng SPL, modified ROM and force an update by changing CID in .txt?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Altembas:
And an answer:

because CID check is done between the phone and the .img files, the txt is only supplementary. So preparing another .zip file doesn't work :(

Back, to where I was 3 days ago :)

[General Questions and Answers] spectrrr:
My problem is very similar to the one described here, However I don't want to fix it,

I just want to TRY and retrieve my contacts

!!!!

I am looking for the contact data files in WM 6.1 (in other words, the outlook data files that are probably hidden).

Backstory: The resident idiot here (ME) neglected to sync his phone and back things up for, oh, about 3 months. (yes, you know what comes next,

and I fully deserve it!

).

The phone has now stopped working... Specifically, the Phone application, contacts application, and calendar application. The rest of WM is working fine, except that there is something causing it to run sluggish. AND the phone will not sync. It will connect, but it refuses to sync. Nothing was done to cause this failure, other than waking up one morning.

SOMETHING is corrupted, but I don't think its the actual data file (logic for that is below), SO before I hit the hard reset.... I thought I might try to back it up manually..... what do I have to lose?

A few more specifics:

1. Samsung i770 running WM 6.1 (but I think more of a WM specific issue than a i770 issue). Activesync 4.5 will connect, but it will not sync contacts.

2. When the phone booted for the first 20 or so times after the problem appeared, an error message would across the screen as soon as the desktop was loaded, but far too fast to make out any of the words.

3. Trying to load contacts, calendar, or the phone application produces absolutely no result. No error message, to hung process, nothing.

4. The messaging application works fine, BUT any attempt to load a contact from within fails. Again, no error message, just... nothing happens, it's like you never clicked it....

5. The radio antenna in the top bar says that it has no service.

6. NOW the error message is no longer flashing by the screen when you boot the phone, but all other symptoms remain.

7. Despite the fact that the radio icon and status indicator claims there is no signal, I can send and receive text messages (I just have to enter the number manually).

8. Once, very recently, without doing anything, an error message appeared and STAYED on the screen. Shape of the text looks about right for the message that previously has been flashing by on the screen, I think they are one in the same.

"Shortcut Target"

"error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename."

ANY THOUGHTS? :confused: Primarily I'm looking for the contacts data file (I don't care about the calendar, but its probably in the same spot) to TRY back it up before I hard reset the phone.... BUT if anyone has any ideas about a cause or temporary fix to the problems, I'm all ears!!!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
I'd highly recommend trying Microsoft MyPhone, just to see if that can access your contacts. It may be that the contacts DB itself is knackered, in which case you obviously can't get anything back.

Worth a try :)

http://myphone.microsoft.com/

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] spectrrr:
Indeed it was worth a try. Connected via Wifi to install (can't use data plan, that requires "dialing" an internet connection, which must use the phone app).

Synced documents, txt messages, photos, and then said "Synchonization Successful". WOOHOO! all done....

OR NOT!

checked online, NO contacts information. No Calendar information. Apparently MyPhone takes the stance of "if it won't work, just ignore it and report success".

Thanks, A very good thing to try, but no go :(

Unfortunately, I can think of a number of different ways that WM could be programed, each pointing to a different culprit for the problem. If it's straight DB access for each program, then the only conclusion is that the DB is knackered. But if there's a some kind of access control program that handles those things, maybe its just the program that's no good (hence the message that it couldn't load the target shortcut when the phone boots up).

Anyone have any ideas where to find the DB itself? I can always try the traditional (and very bad idea) of a file swap.....
[General Questions and Answers] spectrrr:
Looks like this mystery will go unsolved... last chance to figure out where to find the contacts db file is. I'll probably be wiping it tomorrow, can't live without the phone much longer. Thanks for the suggestions so far!
[General Questions and Answers] deedee:
Search for PIMBackup, that will enable you to save all your PIM related stuff and then restore it once you have a working device.

Edit

Forgot to say this doesn't require you to install anything, just save the EXE to your memory card and then use File Manager to run it on the PPC.
[General Questions and Answers] spectrrr:
"Connecting to outlook...."

"Could not connect to Outlook."

Beautiful suggestion, I really thought I had the answer there... Thank you!

Seems to be that poutlook.exe is knackered, but that really would not explain why the Phone (cprog.exe) won't load...

PIM Backup log history is mostly what could be expected:

appointments failed - cant connect to outlook

call logs worked

contacts failed - cant connect to outlook

messages worked - "connected to outlook" (but thats a different db and a different connection app, tmail.exe)

speed dials worked

tasks failed - cant connect to outlook

So it comes down to this: PIM.vol is knackered,

OR

poutlook.exe is dead, and I'm not sure which. Anyone have WM 6.1 and feel like emailing me a copy of poutlook.exe? (powderkeg500 ~a~t~ gmail ^d0t^ com !)... I'm sure the versions may be a bit different... but *shrug* maybe it will work?.....

Does anyone know if I can simply copy PIM.vol to my computer, reload the device, and then copy PIM.vol back to the phone? If the answer is absolutely yes, then I can simply try that. But if the answer is no... I could be shooting myself in the foot :(
[General Questions and Answers] deedee:
i think copying PIM.vol off and then back on might work, but i seem to recall it may require Total Commnader to get it back on as it's locked by the OS on startup - deemed a system level file i think.

i remember doing this once myself but can't remember that far back now.

Sorry for not sounding more positive. You might like to look at alol.net.br as they offer a free Exchange acount you access OTA and so your contacts would always be backed up in future.

Are you sure you're using Disk Drive mode? I've never seen it disconnect spontaneously. You may want to try a different cable.

Hi,

Figured out how to change icons on wm6.5 using registry. When I add a new quick link on manila today, I see the same png as in windows start menu. BUT: when I change a png file and do a SR start menu has new icon, and manila doesn't. Nothing helps - manila keeps the old version :( even if iI remove quick link and make it back - the old icon pops.

so, is there any icons cache or something I can clear to make my new icon appeared on Manila.

I´ve just bought the device from US Sprint. It´s not unlocked but It works almost perfectly with my Vodafone Spain sim car. Calls, text messages, GPRS internet and GPS (tested with google maps) work OK.

But I´ve got a problem with the hands-free aplication. It seems to be locked:It connects properly but get disconected after a few seconds. Then the phone tries to connect to the Sprint customer area or something similar, to "unlock the hands-free option". Obviously, the connection fails, as I´m in Spain.

My question:

- Can I solve this problem changing the ROM when It´ll be available (does anybody know any new about the hard-spl for Sprint Pro 2 devices?).

- Or maybe unlocking the phone? Is it posible right now?

Thanks for all, and excuse my poor english!
