I upgarded my touch hd to 6.5 recently and now my GPS can not find the satalites.

Using Gmaps I set windows to auto - baud to 56000 and I have tried comms 0,1,4,6,8 without any joy.

Can HD with 6.5 work with GPS?

I search the forum for an answer but no luck either

Thanks

Ray
[Touch HD General] Bodisson:
Well, iGO is working under 6.5.

And so does Google maps...

However, settings should be 57600 baud on COM 4 (at least thet's how they're set in my iGO)...

And you should use QuickGPS to get ephemerals...
[Touch HD General] blueisland:
No luck I'm affraid. Did all this and it will not find the satalites.

Thanks
[Touch HD General] lukesan:
Hi blueisland,

Working perfectly on my Touch HD.

What I would do.

Since I don't know what rom you've put on your phone is get

HTC GPS TOOL http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=360477

and

GPS test from chartcross http://www.chartcross.co.uk/products/WM00002_details.asp

Now what to do:

Very important : sorry for the caps, GO OUTSIDE so no obstructions above the receiver

Start HTC GPS TOOL : go to 'function' -> 'mode' -> 'clear memory'

After that on the top 'open port' and 'start test' now you should see data coming in that window.

Now if you click on 'menu' (bottom right) you can click 'Satellite'. Normally you should see some bars which are the sats that show up.

You can close the appl if you see that.

Start GPS Test : not necessary but this one automatically searches for the com port and baute rate and also show the reception.

Let us know what happens.

Btw: After that you get that working GPSmoddriver is a very nice add on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=571266

no more lag on iGO

trying to get the emulator working on phone but having a bit of trouble. it installs on my phone storage but when i try and run games (metal slug or tekken 3) it starts but then freezes. so i uninstalled it and tried installing on sd card but it wouldnt even run. the files gave the error "ubable to open "filename" either has no certificate or associated files are missing. try reinstalling" (or something along those lines).

any ideas???

From memory, you need a bios file and place it into the bios folder of fpsce.. The emulator is great but the graphics leave a little to be desired...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3PH:
I installed fpsce today after telling myself i would do it since may. Installed to my class 6 SD card with no issues. I remembered that when i was looking in to it at the start of the summer i managed to lay may hands on a bunch of extracted PSX bios files, so loaded the newest one i had. I then extracted the first disc for one of my favourite games ever (and i have never liked consoles) Gran Tourismo. It ran brilliantly. In the video sequences i get 60fps, in game it's about 50. I don;t have a bluetooth gamepad so control was a bit of a pain but it worked ok.

Definitely a keeper and i will probably end up buying a bluetooth gamepad or keyboard to use as the input device. My only question is, what were the good games for the playstation one?

Hey guys

I'm from Belgium. We speak dutch language but we use an "azerty" keyboard like french people.

So, I opened a swype beta .apk file, that included various languages including Dutch and French, with 7Zip.

First method I tried whas renaming a couple of files in the "assets/keyboards" folder.

That allowed me to see an "azerty" keyboard lay-out on my screen when selecting Dutch language.

I then opened "assets/files" folder. I then edited the SwypeScreen.ini file and modified the MainKeyboardNameLS into "Azerty-LS". I did the same with MainKeyboardNamePT but I typed "Azerty-PT".

Ok, resigned the file, installed on my phone perfect! I've got an azerty keyboard with Dutch dictionary. I've then tried to type which didn't worked out that well.

It still had Qwerty configuratie. So when I typed "A" it actually typed "Q".

I then thought: Hey! What if I just rename the Dutch dictionary to French?

Ok, I renamed the dutch dictionary for French use with the azerty keyboard.

Resigned the file, installed on my phone. Bollocks... French language now used the same Qwerty keyboard as the Dutch language.

So my conclusions are that the touch lay-out of the keyboard is related with that dictionary file!

Is it possible to edit the file somehow? The dictionary is called Dutch.zdb.le

I have absolutely no idea what file extension that is or with what program I have to edit it.

I though a dictionary is a text file most of the time so I tried to open it with "Notepad". But I got a load of text with squares ??

I hope my problem is clear for you guys!

Thanks for your help in advance!

I think that we can agree on, that the dictionary file itself has the settings for the keyboard layout. As far as I know, in those versions I've seen with dutch, Azerty does come up when you choose to use the Dutch dictionary.

Which version are you trying to edit? 1.60 or 1.54?

[Vibrant General] lilsav55:
I put on the new Voodoo Lag fix and have had no problems. My phone is as fast its ever been. Because before that I was using ryanzas lagfix on the market and kind of made my phone faster. So I removed ryanzas and put on the voodoo, and found I could still apply ryanzas, so I did and my phone is super fast. At least I feel like its faster. So for the devs I know this isnt a q&a but is this actually working, and can u guys apply this into ur future work?
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
curious what tests have you run to determine it is indeed faster? I need to go back and read through Ryanzas lagfix but from memory I thought it created an EXT partition just as the Voodoo lag fix does.

If this is the case there would be no speed improvement as your system is only using one EXT partition so running the 2nd lagfix does nothing or changes the size of the EXT partition created by Voodoo.
[Vibrant General] lilsav55:
Ok so all I do is try to make my phone faster when I have time. But I partioned my sd on my mytouch with amon ra then I put my sd on ext 4. Than I ran the voodoo lag fix using the the deodex rom. Voodoo lag fix put my quadrant scores at 1700 about which seems realistic. Because with ryanzas I was getting 2400-2500. But I only had 500mb of app space left bcuz of the partition. But after voodoo I have 1.4mb and I ran ryan zas on top of that and I have the same 1.4mb left. I think I can run both because the voodoo lag fix is a system partition and ryanzas is only virtual. At least thats what I think thats why im asking for help. But I run about about 2000 to 2100 on my quandrant scores and my phone has no lag at all.
[Vibrant General] lilsav55:
I say try it if u can because my phone has never been faster. I dont know why it works but I believe it does because I can see and feel a difference in the phone. Everything runs so smooth. Its fantastic!!!!
[Vibrant General] grennis:
Why stop there? Install another lagfix and I'm sure your phone will be 3X as fast!!! :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] Michaelr219:

[Vibrant General] lilsav55:
Haha smart a** I just need someone else to try it it and tell if it works? Or explain to me why it wouldnt or doesnt?
[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
Rsfaze already explained to you why it wouldn't, both of the fixes do the same thing and by doing the same fix twice they do not combine to give you double the benefit.

Imagine your hard drive is fragmented and your PC is slow, well you defragment it and it becomes faster. What you are essentially saying is that if you keep on defragmenting it it will continue to become faster which is ludicrous, unless you can post a quadrant score of 3000 :-)
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
Iirc the virtual ext lag fix simply cached some of the data for quicker access, and that's the increase you're seeing.

Sent from my SGS Vibrant
[Vibrant General] lilsav55:
Ok true, but arent the lag fixes different? They arent set up the same and put on different ext's

And why did it improve my quadrant scores? and usually the phone wont allow u to apply two

Lag fixes at once when they are the same thing. Because I am using the lag fix apk and the voodoo lag fix through rom manager. Try it and tell me what u think?
[Vibrant General] lilsav55:
Thx that makes sense. So do u think that is make making my phone faster?
[Vibrant General] Mr_Tricorder:
Hey man, if those placebo pills work so well for him, don't stop filling his prescription. ;)
[Vibrant General] lilsav55:
Well i honestly dont know the details behind it but I can say that my phone does feel faster. So try it for yourself and tell me what you think. It is perfectly safe and you can always remove it. But just apply the voodoo and then go on market, and get ryanzas lag fix and apply that too. I am using the deodex rom so I dont knkw if that makes a difference. But thx for explainations. Later
[Vibrant General] almyz125:
Haha, I seriously doubt this works, run 4 quadrant tests, the first being stock with no lag fix, second with one of the lag fixes, third with only the other lag fix that you did not use before, and lastly run a forth test with all of the lag fixes and post all the scores generated by quadrant.
[Vibrant General] lilsav55:
Stock odin 900

Ryanzas one click 2400 not believable but thats what quadrant says

Voodoo 1700 can see a real difference

Jacs kernal and no wake 1400 can feel diffrence mainly bcuz of overclock

Voodoo + ryanzas 2100 feels smoother and faster than just voodoo

Dont believe me than try for yourself.
[Vibrant General] almyz125:
If quadrant says so I believe it, though I am not able to try it I'm running the new leaked rom, I don't believe that is compatable with the voodoo lag fix.
[Vibrant General] lilsav55:
Well the quadrant scores are just quadrant scores to me. I just go off of how many phone feels and what it does and it has never been snappier, my bro has same phone and he has the vodoo lag fix and we did a side by side comparison and mine was faster so I will let the people be the judge and let them try for them selves.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
The voodoo lagfix uses ext4, which is a little slower but far safer. By installing ryan's virtual ext2, youve merely regained ext2's speed at the expense of ext4' safety along with the improvements gained from an optimized kernel.
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
Ext2 has a faster write but Ext4 has a faster read when tests where done on the two. You already mentioned the safety of ext4 which would be the journaling that Ext2 does not do.

I still don't think ext2 would be faster than ext4 but I could be wrong.
[Vibrant General] cashless:
I don't get it. Why is this in the Vibrant forum at all?!!

[Vibrant General] snowdogging:

[Vibrant General] PJcastaldo:
I agree. Placebo. Cyan already showed that you can't trust quadrant. Um and alt of work went into making voodoo "stable". with the ext 2 so prone to corruptioni wouldn't mix them.
[Vibrant General] geekus33:
What does your phone score with the Hypnotoad to go? I don't trust quadrant...

All for scores...stock, voodoo, Ryan ZA's one click, oc...

Bets on what time EST they will close this thread?
[Vibrant General] ed10000:
What's up with so many guys saying that they're both essentially the same lagfixes, running on top of each other? They're not the same. Voodoo formats the disk into ext4 format, while RyanZA's creates a virtual ext2 file on top of the stock filesystem.

Now, when using RyanZA's fix on a stock Galaxy S, it sure was very fast, but there were always occasional lags because the ext2 buffer HAS TO be written onto stock RFS at some point. As we all know, RFS is a crappy filesystem and blocks ALL other operations until the write is complete. This was slowing things down.

Although I would prefer native EXT2 (no journaling, extremely fast, and I don't ever pull out my battery, so data corruption is not that big of a risk to me) to Voodoo's EXT4 , since it isn't available, it is only logical that creating a virutal EXT2 file on top of EXT4 shows performance gains, because this time when EXT2 buffers are written onto the stock filesystem (which is EXT4 here), it is done in a WAY more efficient way than when it was running on top of RFS.

This is not the ultimate performance solution though. That would be formatting the disk in EXT2. This is just the next best thing available currently.

I've been wanting to try this as well, but was out of town for 3 days, and I'm going to try it after confirming with RyanZA if this is safe and if removal process would go smoothly.

[Cross posted at Android General]

Since I got the Nexus One over a month ago, I've realized that its battery life is somewhat problematic. However, it lasted long enough to go about my day, especially considering that I always had a charger at my disposal.

I use it chiefly for listening to music, so I naturally brought it with me when I did the annual NYC Century Bike Tour. I wanted to record a GPS track of my ride (I rode the 100 mile path) but knew it would probably kill my battery really fast, so I used my G1 and RMap as my GPS device.

The Nexus One had NOTHING except for phone service (on EDGE), TouchDown (Exchange email push) and music (with Mixzing, recommendations off, equalizer on) on for the ride. The G1 only had its GPS radio on, nothing else. Both devices spent most of their time with the screen off.

The G1 was dead in about three hours. The Nexus One was dead in five. FIVE hours! Brand new device! That's not bad battery life; that's just unacceptable. My iPhone 3GS certainly lasted longer than that. Even my old Windows Mobile HTC Raphael outlasted the both of them!

What can I do about this? I'm willing to get a bigger battery at this point, but I don't want to buy one and realize that the OS is really at fault here (like I think it is).
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
The problem? You're using the wrong tools for the job. Want/need a GPS? Use a GPS. Want a mp3 player? Use an mp3 player.

You'll have to look and see what's actually using CPU/battery, but I suspect Touchdown was a large part of it. And might watch to see what CPU Mixzing is using, perhaps it's using an inordinate amount.
[Nexus One General] fubaya:
Were you streaming the music? I listen to podcasts, and every now and then I have an easy day at work where I probably listen to 6 hours or so to get caught up, but I don't stream them. This is over a 9 hour work day and with moderate email, web, SMS and phone use, I still have 30-40% left at the end of those marathon podcast days.
[Nexus One General] ChronoReverse:

[Nexus One General] mrcrassic:
So then I guess by this logic, I should sell my Nexus One and get a RAZR.

The point is that I should be able to do most of those things and not have my phone die five hours later. The iPhone I used nefore didn't.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
No, not the Razr. You just said it, get the iPhone :p

OT: I think you will get a longer playback time if you use the default music player. The quotes 20 hr audio playback I think is when you turn off all radios and use the phone for music playback only.
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
My phone was purchased May 21, 2010, so it's not new, still on the original battery. Daily, I stream Pandora to my bluetooth headset for 6-8 hours while at work (streaming + bluetooth) without attaching the phone the charger... Granted, as soon as I get home, I will have to plug it up, I still consider this to be pretty good battery life. That's on 3G + I have my Exchange (Push) email, occasional phone call or two and some minor browsing.

For example, today, I have been streaming to A2DP since I got to work at 7:30am ET... I have 58% battery left at 12:58pm ET...

Sounds like something else is killing your phone especially since you aren't even streaming music...
[Nexus One General] nexusdue:
Were you streaming the music?

If so, I don't think the iphone is going to outlast the N1 battery-wise by much.

If it was local music, the performance is simply unacceptable.

That is just ridiculous!
[Nexus One General] mrcrassic:
I wasn't streaming music; just playing from SD card. I would use the default music player, but it having no equalizer makes it hard for me to do so. :(

I think TouchDown was the culprit here, but I have nothing to prove that it was. I'm going to do another century ride soon, so I'll be able to re-test then.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
What he said. My phone doesn't drop even 10% an hour when I'm listening to local MP3s.

If you generally have very bad battery life - either look for a process that's killing the battery, or check your battery capacity - it might have deteriorated.

I would ask for a replacement battery because and hour of music should nottake 20 percent of your battery

Hey, a dedicated music player like the ipod nano has ~24hrs of audio playback. So I think that's about right.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
There you go. That is the problem. Others have already said in this thread that the equalizer is horrible on battery life. It is just a software hack to modify the sound before playing it. So it uses a lot of CPU. Run without it, or maybe try the built in one on CM6. But that one still may be just as bad.

Hi there...

My device is HTC Topaz, stock rom 5.2.21887, Manila 2.5.2011. Just in case about software: Cookie Home Tab 1.8.5 is installed, but CHT Lockscreen is disabled. Topaz Settings Tool also installed.

The issue is that after call has ended, softbuttons stay visible for about 10 secs on top of the default lockscreen. The phone received a call when it was in "Stand by" mode and locked.

I thought this might be because of default lockscreen, but HD mini lockscreen shows the same problem: softbuttons are still visible for ~10 seconds.

Can anyone point a direction, please?
