In addition to that, both of my units tended to show different position and altitude readings each time i powered up igo or google maps. while exhibiting the differences I obviously didn't from my current position, not even an inch.

to try to make things clearer. that's what I did :

loading igo -> acquiring signal within seconds -> getting a certain position reading with altitude of 11 meters (for example) -> quit -> reloading igo -> acquiring signal within seconds -> slightly different position, altitude of 75 meters or a negative value (for example).

even the small blinking dot in igo (which determines the actual gps mark) doesn't fit to my physical location on the road which I'm currently driving on. it sometimes blinks few meters to the right/left, and sometimes it tracks behind the guidance arrow (as it should be).
[HD2 General] dusty_nz:
Could be

Simply a limitation of GPS. I have seen it on other GPS's. Garmin etrex. Try walking with one and even thou you are walking in a straight line it plots a zigzag path. More satelites (10+) should reduce this issue.

Basically the GPS is only accurate to a certain range from +-50m to +- 2 meters depending on the no of sats. The location is detemined by timing from when the signal was sent to when it was received. Calcs how far away the sat is (Speed of light??). It is possible you care getting a fluctuation in your current location. Eg

Sample 1 says you are point a.

Sample 2 says you are 2 meters to the right.

Sample 3 says you are 2 meters to the left.

Still in the +- 5 meters but the gps is plotting you moving backwards and forwards.
[HD2 General] barty22:
Guys, it is a problem everyone has, gps position is not as accurate or stable on the hd2 as on most other htc devices. And with an erratic gps position automatically comes an erratic speed. Don't know yet if it is because of a different gps module that's inside the hd2 or because of the inclusion of crappy gps drivers. Will try to find out soon....

Anyway, gpsmoddriver is not the cause of this problem since the problem is also on an hd2 without having gpsmoddriver installed. Because of the functionality of gpsmoddriver to improve the gps readings, in some cases it can amplify your erratic gps position, and that is also what some of you have been experiencing. Remember you can always use gpsmoddriver to add the hardware compass functionality to your navigation software, while additionally configuring gpsmoddriver to leave gps data untouched so it won't make the erratic position and speed worse. For more info or help, please visit the gpsmoddriver thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=571266

EDIT: Of course the HD2 has a new snapdragon chip which has built-in GPS just like many previous generations of phones. Most likely qualcomm changed the way gps works in their new line of Snapdragon processors...
[HD2 General] Stephen Selby:
The movement of vehicles around you or even the movement of the sun's rays on buildings nearby can distort GPS signals. The GPS navigator software tries to rationalize this distortion and that usually appears as a movement when you are still. On the other hand, if you drive into a tunnel using TomTom and some other software, you will often see yourself driving straight on in the tunnel well after the GPS is receiving no more satellite signals.

In top-of-the-line built-in navigation systems, the GPS data is supplemented by inertial guidance. (Someone could create a similar supplement for the HD2 :-) The supplementary information allows the system to reconcile the GPS information with information on your car's actual movement.

But for us mere mortals, we just have to live with it.
[HD2 General] Fatherboard:
Well... this particular gps chip is quite useless, then. if my navigation program has to recalculate the route each time I stop at traffic light, then it seems that I either have to purchase a usb-based gps to pair with the HD2, or replace this device. I counted on it to perform well. :(
[HD2 General] barty22:
Complain to HTC, perhaps if they get enough complains they will come out with a hotfix or a rom upgrade that fixes it. Nobody said that the hardware is not that good (though it's possible), but it could also very well be a bad implementation by HTC!!
[HD2 General] Fatherboard:
Already did. :)

They have obviously denied my complaints.

thanks again, anyway.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I noticed this behaviour yesterday night, at about 10pm. I was playing with NoniGPSplot, and while I was completely still (and freezing me arse outside believe me), it was tracking a movement back and fro and all around in small step, keeping track of me traveling some meters still while I was standing in the same point.

It was night and I was in my big yard, so no sunrays nor moving vehicles around nor buildings over my head.

I think this behaviour is very well hidden in tomtom since it automatically puts you on a road, and "smoothens" the gps data by making you follow that road no matter what, but a "realtime" software like nonigps tracks that all so well. Gonna notify htc about it now.
[HD2 General] Stephen Selby:
Guys, let's not go overboard on this. Non-military GPS is only claimed accurate to around 20 metres, regardless of the quality of the receiver. It's the US Defense Department messing with your HD2, not HTC.:D
[HD2 General] pat12:
Yes, absolutely, I've noticed the same behaviour with all three of the BlueTooth GPS I used in the past. So, I would not be too quick to blame HTC for this.
[HD2 General] Morgoth_RB:
my touch cruise's gps receiver worked with static navigation enabled to avoid this false movement. maybe this is just a usual behaviour?
[HD2 General] df1ech:
Agree to that.

But regardless of the fact that the thing is not a military GPS system, It should do it's work correctly as for me the GPS is almost useless when driving slow or within a city. My 2nd phone (HTC DIAMOND) and 3 personal navigation devices are mounted in my car to compare and all work fine when the HD2 isn’t .

The GPS looses all the time the fix to the satellites and then quickly gets the fix back. when using a GPS monitor you can see that the satellites constantly moving really rapidly. (moving --> getting fix and loosing it again)

This is for 4 other reference devices which are running simultaneously not the case so it seems really an issue with the GPS device.

I tested this with different ROMs (1.44 Vodafone, 0.6 dutty WM 6.5.5, 1.66 stock and another one I cannot recall the producer anymore.)
[HD2 General] Dmitry N:
Same glitch here as well.

Never saw this problem on the Touch Cruise or the Blackstone.
[HD2 General] Fatherboard:
that's exactly what bugs me. I'm not demanding for accuracy of 1/1, but the current behavior just drives my navigation program crazy. I don't think it's normal. HTC declaimed my complaints. argh...
[HD2 General] ike316:
same problem here.. im really getting tired. so many bugs. never had this problem with nokia n70/n73 and external gps
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I contacted HTC about the issue with nonigpsplot reporting a movement ina certain direction which goes back until it "vibrates" around my real position, and they replied me asking to check whether the preinstalled gmaps has the same behaviour. Now, as I told them, testing with gmaps I do get a fix on my position, and I do see the blue dot in my yard from the satellite picture, but the dot doesn't move when I move (and I moved to the other side of the yard, some 100m), so that doesn't really count as a comparison to me...
[HD2 General] mika34:
Hey i think you don`t know what you are talking about!

Tell me is it normal when you driving and stop the car then your Navigation (tom tom, Igo) recalculate the route each time you stop! I think this is just absurd.

Never have problem with it on my N95, Xperia, and Touch Pro 2 !!!
[HD2 General] martoto:
Recently, I purchased a HD2. I have read this topic before, but I didn't believe it would be so bad. In reality, my HD2 puts my position 1km away from the real one! This weird result is in every gps enabled soft - Google Maps, iGO etc. My navigation simply goes mad and is completely useless. I think even A-GPS technology is more accurate than that.

I use to have T-Mobile Pulse before, which costs 1/3 of the HD2 price, and it's GPS was absolutely precise. Since I bought HD2 to use primarily for in-car navigation, I am really disappointed. The GPS functionality is a complete joke, and this ruins any location service on this phone not only turn-by-turn navigation. It's a shame for device which still costs £450. I don't know what to do, probably selling it and look for some non HTC phone...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bittermormon:
for the past 18 months I have been able to access my G1 via USB. I could mount it easily and ADB was set up correctly. for some reason this week, it stopped working. now when I plus it in, I get the "USB Not Recognized" error in XP, and my device no longer shows up as an adroid phoen in Device Mgr. It now says unknown device.

I have tried updating the driver with no luck.

Any ideas would be great,

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrcncp:
Something similar happened to me. After trying to mess around with Live Wallpapers and DroidExplorer, my phone doesn't show up. I get the "Error: Device not found".

I have the latest USB driver, but yet device manager keeps saying that it's up to date when I try to reinstall (however under Driver Details, Vista says the location of the drivers are on System32 and they're Microsoft drivers....)

Edit: after searching Google for answers, I stumbled on a Google Group and found that someone fixed their issue (similar to mine) by installing HTC Sync. I did, and voila! ADB works again.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bittermormon:
OUTSTANDING!! That did it. Thanks a bunch, and thanks for the link!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bittermormon:
fixed for real now

So the above didn't do it for me, here's what I did:

download and extract USBDeview

Open it up and remove the 3 or 4 entries that say "android phone"

Unlplug (if its plugged into USB) your phone and replug it in, the "found new hardware" window should pop up and be sure to install the drivers that came with the SDK.

That took care of my USB mounting situation, but I still couldn't get adb or fastboot to see my device. Turns out I had adb.exe and fastboot.exe in my WINDOWS/System32 folder as well as in the SDK/tools folder (prolly from when I updated the SDK). Having them in 2 spots seemed to cause problems so I removed them from the SDK/Tools folder. Alternatively I could have removed the other set, but I didn't want to go to my SDK folder every time to use them, this way I can access ADB from any folder on my computer.

This is all from memory so if something's not clear, lemme know. All I know is ADB and Fastboot are working now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pollomon:
I have been trying some ROMS of this forum and in one of these my rw6815 did not start. The screen was black and it doesn´t started when I pushed the "on button".

Afterwards, I read lots of post and discovered that I could start bootloader mode with "camera+push battery". I tried to put again a stable ROM by using a SD card in this mode but when setup finished my pda show hp logo and restart.

I saw the bootloader versión was 0.00.00 so I decided to put BL 1.01 to recover my PDA. I did it using el bootloader mode and tried to install another ROM. This time I used the (-) buttos+reset+"on button". The HP logo was showed and it was a long long time... and never finished, so I decided to pull the battery. When I tried to star the bootloader mode with "camera+push battery" my PDA didn´t response. Now, it doesn´t start in this mode.

What can I do?

Oh, a strange thing I have noticed is that the hp logo and the bootloader mode seems to be interlaced... I mean, the screen is not clear, you can see something like a interlaced screen... It didn´t happen when I put in a stable ROM and the hp logo restart on start.

PD: Sorry for my English:o

PD2: I just have discover that if a push the two (-) buttos and put the battery the screen shows the hp logo and PBL 1.0.1

It is at 50% more than it usually is now. Weird.
[Nexus One General] huzz:
To be honest not that weird. Nexus one never had battery issues the main problem was the network jumping from 3G to edge all the time. That was the major battery hog. The update has fixed that to a certain extent so we were bound to see a performance hike.

Cheers.
[Nexus One General] gunnner:
Mine's gone down really fast today, first day after the update. No obvious drains in the battery usage page... I'm at about 40 percentage points lower than usual right now.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Mine seems to be doing better, usually I am at about 60-65% by this time, and I am at 77% right now with the same usage... 1hour of WiFi, 2 push email accounts, some video playback from the SD card, couple phone calls and txt msgs... actually might have used it a little more than usual since I downloaded some youtube videos, and I don't usually do that.

I will find out for sure later tonight when I get home and use it non-stop on WiFi for a couple hours.
[Nexus One General] ma2k5:
Well one thing I noticed is that cell standby battery use has gone down dramatically (was nearly on par with display, sometimes even more). But I will report back tomorrow to see if this is still the case.
[Nexus One General] bluehaze:
Mines definitely better today, not sure if it is because of the update or because of not running altered ROM's anymore. I seemed to have good battery life before rooting and installing roms and it seems to be back to about the same with the factory update so I might stick with this now instead of installing the ROMS and themes.

62% after 8 hours on WCDMA preferred.

Last time I tried that....it lasted about 13 hours total.

Today, for me is the first day after the update and I noticed this morning that it was getting hot in my pocket. Took about 17% of the batter in a 40ish minute period... kinda odd.. did a pull and its been fine.. other than that, I'm on att so battery is always well.
[Nexus One General] trinode:

I've seen a huge improvement, over 14 hours unplugged and I was at 79%. Before I would be at 50% within 12 hours.

My house 3g signal sucks, so I lost and additional 8% over the night, but at least it keeps a stable 3g signal here now (my G1 flip/flopped 2g/3g at my house since they put up the new 3g tower). I'm pretty pleased with the update, just wish they would have extended multi-touch to the keyboard.
[Nexus One General] misticjeff:
I've been unplugged for 20hrs now. I used the phone yesterday as normal with calls, a couple of games, some browsing, downloaded a 14mb video and checked twitter at least a dozen times. My battery is at 54% so i'm VERY pleased. I'm going to try and go through the rest of today without recharging.
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
50% battery left after 8.5 hours uptime, so yeah, quite an improvement from the initial ~12 hours battery life.

Hi,

After installing a custom rom on my lock-screen came an empty appointment (the icon was there but no writing)

So after some time I installed a different rom and the empty appointment/calender icon is still there on my lock-screen. I even performed a hard-reset. I have Duttys HG 0.6 rom atm and HSPL installed.

Is there any way I can get rid of the empty calendar appointment?? :confused:

Thanks
[HD2 General] Bimme:
? Maybe delete it ?

The Appointment was there right after flash and hard reset ? Or have you synced or restored something ?

One thing john.

I seem to remember a earlier version of HTC Sense which looks very much like the HTC Sense on HD2, but was shipping with automatic landscape and sold with Touch Pro 2.

Why didn't they put that version of HTC Sense/Manilla on HD2? Any idear?
[HD2 General] Archer:
No idea mate. I do know that landscape support for Manila is coming in some ROM upgrades soon. I believe 2.02 (not yet officially released) has it.

Lets hope they include full landscape support for the entire device both in Manilla and Windows :)
[HD2 General] Archer:
BsB Tweaks does the job of adding auto-rotation for non-manila apps very nicely, and of course I'm going to plug PLToggle again ;)

It's just manila that's lacking. I don't think we'll have to wait too long to get to a v2 ROM, which will hopefully have it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] enahs_:
I recently upgraded from a Fuze to a Tilt 2 (AT&T). I am running the stock AT&T Tilt 2 Rom. I have applied the hot fixes on their site though.

It is the same processor as the Fuze yet it is much more responsive, I love that. But I have a question. Even when I am not running anything (other then the TouchFlo interface) it is hovering around 80% of program memory usage, and there is only ~40mb free.

The fuze had the same amount of memory, and in the stock rom it was only using ~40% of program memory.

I am monitoring this after reset, so I am not looking at memory leak.

Is this normal for everybody? Any idea what is running in the background to waste so much memory? The task manager (windows default) does not show anything else running.
