[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ml78:
But those drivers should be in the i9000 kernel source code then? You can build your own kernel from the source if I understand things correctly, that suggests that the drivers are either in the source (don't think so, or a community fix would probably already exist) or in a library (i.e libgps.so )

But I have been wrong (multiple times) before ....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appelflap:
aha, how do we get these drivers :)

I've looked at the c source code of a libgps.so of another device and it looks like a layer between higher level api's and some lower level layer. So you maybe right.

anybody see this? samsung captivate leaked firmware update.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ65sS8nbRE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

gps locks greatttt...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appelflap:
looks good, but it looks that it still has a maximum accuracy of 5 meter. That's not good enough :) I also don't like the relative big jumps between 10 and 5 m. But ok, it is indoors . It looks promissing though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashpunks:
cant the captivate only read by 5 meters at a time?

5 meters aint good enough either? huh thats 15 feet.. lol thats like 2 tall people together.. lol Or are you trying to find a pot of gold.. j/k...

All I want is 10 meters and Navigation to not lose route. Thats all I care...

yes does look promising..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appelflap:
Ok, for that it will do, if it can keep it's lock at 5m all the way :) But for hicking, sporting, finding your way in the city while walking, it is nice, but not good enough. And yes I'm trying a pot of gold :) Cause I truly belief the Broadcom chip can perform much better then this. (This kind of performance was what we got 5 years ago)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TravUK:
The video is quite short, but the compass did seem less jittery than we have in current firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberberben:
You can't get anything more precise than 5m with gps. It's just not possible for commercial user :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Case_:
OK, so I probably owe someone an apology. After three days of working acceptably (which really didn't happen to me before), today my GPS is back to lousy, even with the JPJG8 firmware. Tried recording a track while running some errands and most of the time I was nowhere near where the GPS thought I was...:(

Damn it, I thought I had it...:((

Unless it's somehow connected with the lagfix by RyanZA that I've done in the morning, but I seriously doubt that. Damn!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm getting ONE... it's possible, read about the method to calculate it ;) so.. it's possible. I don't know why we cannot do it with ours SGS.

EDIT: I'm getting ONE metre with other devices.. HTC Legend, Bluetooth GPS (with a very old chip) and others.. at end you can obtain 2 - 3 metres with a 12 channels GPS and 1 with some mathematics things.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
Because it has no antenna, only a tiny flimsy little piece of rice noodle that degrades with time. It was cheaper and lighter. Plus Samsung figured no one would use GPS much anyway, that's why they didn't even debug the Broadcom drivers or tested anything for that matter.

(yes I'm getting bitter and trolling but it makes me calmer to remember that I can still have... hmm <checks> two and a half weeks to return the phone and do something else with the 599 Euros - like putting them in the bank... no wait, maybe it's safer to trust a vaporware Samsung fix)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TravUK:
Sorry to hear that, was starting to hope you might have had the fix :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appelflap:
from the garmin GPS site: "Newer Garmin GPS receivers with WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) capability can improve accuracy to less than three meters on average." http://www8.garmin.com/aboutGPS/

but I can live with a accuracy of 5m, but i don't understand the jumping between 5-10-30m . Those steps are just too big. That don't make sense.

It are mostly those big jumps that are responsible for the idiosyncratic tracks I've seen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milsjg:
Yes, but that is with WAAS, or EGNOS or ... (error correction) and I do not think that either HTC or Samsung has implemented that type of error corrections on there phones. If you use DGPS your easily down to under 1 meter in accuracy (http://www.racelogic.co.uk/?show=VBOX-Products-DGPS_Base_Station) and if you get the military stuff you are under .....

For our phones, HTC or Samsung 5 meters 95% SD is as good as it can be. If you got a better accuracy I think you have a bad driver with a software error ;>
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evans_Prophet:
Breaking news!

Samsung confirmed that the GPS fix is coming soon (it will be bundled with the Duke Nuk'em Forever CD).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
Don't worry. We've seen that all the time. The wonder fix that turns out to be nothing. The problem is only when those got pick up by blogs and tech sites and they quiet down the pressure on Samsung.

That's why most people here are very skeptical about any fix/test results that have no real data to support them.

I stopped believing now but I think I will only give up completely when Samsung releases the first "fix" and it will suck (which probably will).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
Yeah. They've been saying pretty much "When it is ready" to all our constant "When will it be out?" questions anyway. Your analysis is correct. :D

Lisbon is full of tourists in August and I see many walking around looking at maps, foldable paper maps. I suspect a considerable number of these visitors is carrying a Galaxy S in their pocket. Android is very tempting these days.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appelflap:
Yes, I think you're right. From experience I can tell that 5m. accuracy without to many bouncing is a pretty realistic number.

I too have this problem.

I reported it to HTC and they have escalated the issue. They said they have had 2 reports of it(!)

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
Hi..

I have been through half the internet, but i cudnt find one post or set of instructions on HOW to use SDK properly by noobs...

Let me be very honest about it...

Its really hard to understand if u dont know programming....

To begin with how do you "ADD PATH"

Add what, where, how???

No instructions at all...

Also, every-time i run that damn sdksetup.exe...some two windows are open and just NOTHING HAPPENS...:mad:

PS: PLZ don't ask me to "simply" "add" "Location" in the "Path" cause I have no idea what that means...and no, im not happy to make this thread either...

ALL I WANT TO DO IS CONNECT MY COMP to the damn DROID...:(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jwte:
What OS do you have?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
I have Windows XP SP 2...

I have posted pix of where I am stuck...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] tchatzi:
(all this comes pretty much from memory, I don't have any windows handy)

Rename the folder so that it doesn't have any spaces. ie. instead of "Mount SD", call it "Mount_SD" for convenience. it is possible to get it to work with spaces, but I suspect it is beyond your current abilities.

Go to Start->Run (or Win+R)

Enter

cmd.exe

in the resulting dialog.

in the newly opened command line window type:

set PATH=$PATH;D:\Froyo\Mount_SD\android-sdk-windows\tools

now you can refer to adb directly, ie typing:

adb devices

should give you a list of connected android devices and emulators

There is a way to make the addition to PATH permanent, but it involves right-clicking on "My Computer" and after searching in there for something like "Environment Variables" editing the PATH statement there. Unfortunately, I don't quite remember where exactly this is...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sentry23:
Right click 'My computer' , properties, advanced tab, click on the environment variables button, go to the path variable, add a ; at the end, and at the path string there.

but running an SDK to connect the phone, when you don't know how to set the path variable might not be the best solution.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pbfree:
SDK on Windows 7

hello,

did you follow the link developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

But what do you want do with the SDK, just access the file on the Android device or develop an application?

I have had no problem with latest version of the SDK on win7, but the I have to lunch Haret when my X1 was connect to the PC with Winmo and then it's has been recognized as a HTC dream (see attach).
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
Thanx a lot...and sorry for replying a little late...I was out for a shoot...Yes..i did EXACTLY what u told me...Now what do i do?

Ok i wrote this:

'set PATH=$PATH;D:\Froyo\Mount_SD\android-sdk-windows\tools'

THEN

'adb shell'

So i got this: 'error: No device found'
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
I lose you after clicking on Enviornment variables...

I cant see any Path variables..

There are 2 sections:

'User variables' AND 'System Variables'
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] cyberdesigner.net:
What is the problem with using google?

a simple search for "windows path variable" will give you tons of information about what you tried to do...

example: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
If I am connecting my "X1" running "Android"...where do u expect me to post questions regarding it??? In the Windows 7 forum???

And secondly I figured out how to run it...but i cant read the mem card thru the SDK...i can just see the screen of the Android phone...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] cyberdesigner.net:
your question was more in the term:

how do i configure/use my $OPERATING_SYSTEM to use $SOFTWARE?

why do you want to access the storage card from adb?

if you try to install software do it via adb itself:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
No..i dont want to install anything...I just want to copy things, like apps, ringtones Music etc etc...on the SD card thru android..Thats it....

I just want to read my Mem card thru android + SDK for copying files..i dont install anything from the comp..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] tchatzi:
Well, if you're imagining copy/paste files through windows explorer, we're not there yet.

However, ``adb push D:\myfile.mp3'' and ``adb pull /sdcard/media/song.mp3'' work.

In short, get comfortable with the command line or forget about it for now.

If ``adb devices'' reports "No devices found", remember that you need to connect the USB cable in windows mobile, select ActiveSync (there's no need to actually have ActiveSync running on your PC) and then run Haret with the USB cable still plugged in.

[OT]

I am developing android applications on the xperia and can attest that the SDK works as expected/advertised. It is not user-friendly in the sense you want it to be though

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
You can get Droid Explorer Here

No messing around with the SDK and you can copy/paste, do most stuff

A little buggy, but works for most things
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] pbfree:
But why do you are loosing so much time on setting the PATH, it's not necessary to do this. if you want use the adb just go in the direcortory where it's installed and that's it. In any case you could not expcet to se the sdcard folder like a windows folder. Once connect correctly, adb devices list a device on line, you can "talk" with the device like this "adb shell" ...

[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
The current lead makes much more sense. For all its faults the X10 has brilliant hardware whereas the Desire isn't much more than the most basic Android device imaginable. Atleast we have other selling points other than we're brown and have an optical trackball. We have the better screen, the original (and imo more luxurious) design, and a fresh interface. The HTC UI has been around since the Hero and frankly it's getting old, while the *scape UI isn't perfect atleast it's a fresh take on the platform. The Desire is a stripped down version of the Google reference phone ffs. :)

[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:

[XPERIA X10 General] james_2k:
well 4" is as huge as any phone should be :P

high end isnt subjective. it is sonys high end phone. period :P
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
High end is very subjective, Sony has their opinion on what a high-end device is and so do I. :P

Seriously though, in the device "arena" high end generally refers to those with extraordinary features or some other unique characteristic. And in that context it doesn't matter what you or I think, the X10 doesn't fit in. You could make a decent argument for the Mini though, since it's (to my knowledge) the smallest Android device ever put in to production. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] james_2k:
erm, ok lets agree to disagree. but you are right when you say; it doesnt matter what you or i think. (which invalidated the rest of your argument, but hey).

voafone say: high end

sony say: high end

i say: *it doesnt matter*
