Many people are having problems with GPS. This thread is intended to discuss the different possibilities using an external bluetooth GPS.

I have just bought a Copilot GlobalSat BT359. I have tested it with Bluetooth GPS Provider V1.2.5 from the market.

I am very please to report this works very well. Got a fix in seconds and is very accurate. Need to test it on a long run.

Can people please post any info on bluetooth GPS's and any results they get.

The Copilot GlobalSat BT359 cost just £14 from eBay.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] SKeijmel:
cool downloaded the program works fine with my bluetooth gps(holux) thnx very much! nice to have a backup! my internal gps works fine too!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] whpgab:
Try oruxmap from the market. It supports external bluetooth gps. And working great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sean2476:
I use a Nokia LD-3W bluetooth GPS module. It's nice and small and it works an absolute treat and locks on to satellites instantly. The battery lasts for ever and it also has the in car charger just in case lol. I use the copilot sat nav app as it has built in maps so I don't need to worry about data useage and it is available to buy from the market. :)

Edit: loads for sale on ebay HERE
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] symanuk:
Just tested Copilot GlobalSat BT359 and it works great. Did have some phone crash problems. Fixed it i hope...

I've ordered a keyring gps:

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...gps-receiver/63a0c4b6f743d7f3f396c7497be2aa58

Testing with my Nokia phone as the gps device I found making the bluetooth connection was difficult. Once connected it worked great. Hopefully the Nokia was at fault there and not Android and the keyring device will connect every time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sean2476:
Thats a neat little device and handy it can clip on to your trouser belt or jacket etc. I notice that the website has some mark up on the Copilot UK maps! Its only about £27 from the Market!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] snaff:
Got the BlueNEXT BN-902MM today and took it for a short walk with My Tracks. All seems good. Look forward to running with it on Monday.

Importantly, the routine each time I want to use it is no more than 10 seconds:

* switch on the keyring

on the sgs:

* disable internal gps from the icon on the dropdown menu

* tap the Bluetooth GPS widget

and it's ready to go within a few seconds with no more fuss. Same in reverse to disconnect and go back to using the internal GPS.

I wanted to clarify that as if the connection is more like 30 seconds+ or is unreliable then you don't want to be doing that every day.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] t1mman:
Does this work with all aplications, like Google Maps, trapster or Sportypal or only specific apps?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] snaff:
In theory with all apps. The data is passed to the Android OS so any apps using the standard Android interface for reading positional data will get that which comes through the bluetooth link.

The only difference I've seen is in the GPS Status app which gets the positional data but not the debug data with regard to each satellite and its signal level, etc. I don't think any normal apps would need that sort of detail.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] snaff:
Here is my modded armband. It's an iphone band so I'd already butchered it to fit the SGS in and felt I had nothing to lose. First I made a hole to attach the keychain to, then unpicked the thread on part of the velcro strap so the GPS could slot behind that. Then I did a bit of sewing (no homo) to tidy it up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] t1mman:
Good! So it's definitively my planB if it's not fix by next spring (I probably won't run outside that much in winter in Canada eh!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] betoNL:
Here is the Nokia LD 3W in action:

But since I started working with the "gps status"app., the internal

gps is doing quite well as well....but I dont know if it's related,

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CommanderTux:
I'm overall happy with the external Bluetooth GPS.

I've used this app with many other gps apps. Like Google earth, maps, Cell mapper 2, c:geo, DRoute, G-Mon, GeoRecorder, GPS Status,Maps(-), My Tracks, Speedview and more. Only one states that gps is turned off but works anyway which is Waze and iGo won't start because it can't find a GPS-signal.

Accuracy with internal varies between 100m and 10m and external GPS between 10m and 1m.

For navigation in cities I use the external GPS and for rural navigation I use the internal GPS receiver.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] householddog:
Does this prove that the internal gps on the sgs has a hardware issue? Or there other factors involved?

I am just wondering if the issues can really be solved, by software updates?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] andrewluecke:
It doesn't, because the drivers may be buggy, and external receivers do most the processing, so it isn't a timesensitive operation really.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] betoNL:
Bluetooth gps navigation works very well on the sgs as you can see on video.

It is a hardware issue in the sense that most standalone gps receivers or external bluetooth gps receivers got more capable gps chipsets (like sirfstar chipsets) than most smartphones nowadays, so it is not an exclusive sgs's problem

It could be an antenna issue as well so a less serious hardeware problem...

Anyway I dont think this thread is the right one for that kind of discussion.

This thread I think is to show if bluetooth gps is working on the sgs and how.

Or why it is an option for some users and for others not...

Bluetooth gps works on my sgs and that's a fact.

For the other gps issues there are already enough threads with speculations, assumptions and facts like:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821863

And more:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732030

And so much more...

Let's keep this thread just to the point and that's bluetooth gps navigation.....

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] betoNL:
Yes, that's interesting how long that battery goes without recharging!! How is that possible?

The specs say 3 days stand-by and 4 hours active...well on stand-by it lasts forever and during navigation is so many hours I dont even know exactly!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
If its a software issue, I guess 6 months is not even close enough to fix it. Im already convinced that this is a hardware issue since my 5800 seems to have a very accurate GPS

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedesolatesoul:
I recently rendered my phone unusable due to some changes I made to framework.res (some icons). I managed to recover by flashing the firmware back, and restore a nandroid backup, but I am trying to find out what I did wrong.

Here is what I did...

Modified TwLauncher.apk (did not sign)

Modified framework.res (signed it)

Created an update.zip with the structure and META-INF and signed it.

Put the file in the sdcard and applied it.

My question is, does the double signing of framework.res make it corrupt?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedesolatesoul:
Just for reference...

I figured out that you should not sign framework-res with a test signature, alway maintain the system signature.

I managed to do that by not extracting the whole package and just replacing images within it.

Had to sign update.zip though.

If you cant run it, because you cant boot into android, extract the .zip and copy it to the root of your sd card, then boot into bootloader and it should let you flash it from there ....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j-n:
As I couldn't find anything useful through searching I thought someone here possibly could shed some light on this:

I have Orange PL branded desire (still 2.1) and as we do not have corresponding RUU I am wondering:

1. What changes to the system does unrevoked rooting do (let say I won't do S-OFF)?

Is it possibly to back out those changes manually and if not, why? (I asking since

flashing stock htc rom voids my warranty)

2. I haven't found a definite answer: if I make a nandroid backup of the original 2.1 system

just after rooting it, would it be possible to get later OTA update to froyo? Would it be possible

to download (when it comes) froyo OTA update file and then install it from the SD card over rooted 2.1?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
If you root your phone, you will have several options.

1) Install Titanium Backup from the market. You can use this to remove apps you don't want.

2) Download the Android SDK. You can use any terminal program to explore the file system and remove unwanted apps.

Be careful what you remove as root, you can make you phone unstable if you remove the wrong programs.

What is the recommended swap partition size? I just read up on it and found that a 32/64MB swap file should be enough. That being said, when I tried to create a 14GB ext3 partition, I kept getting an error.

What can I do to maximize space on my card so I can put more than 4GB of music/pictures/data?

As everyone knows to launch Android, you must first start CLRCAD.EXE then HARET.EXE.

When you decide to switch to Android just start icon and wait to load.

Bootloader will only work on wwe roms
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reno_79:
Good initiative, but there's already at least two boot loaders (Exceller boot loader being the one I use) that do just this.

does yours do anything specific that these other boot loaders don't?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mastajest:
Yeah EBL skips that step altogether. Automatic boot, and it has the ability to create a shortcut to do what you just did. Not putting you down, just informing you.

Why don't you work on something that allows users to import sms's from android to winmo. I'm sure many dual os users would love that. I use android primarily, and don't really care about holding on to sms's for long, but there was a thread on that a while back.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mskip:
You may not have known that theres already around 6 or 7 other Android Bootloaders (including the one that I made in my sig) but regardless of that thanks for sharing :)

If you are curious you can find the rest of the Bootloaders available in the Stickie Rollup Thread at the top of the HD2 Android Development Forum.

You may want to add in your first post that your Bootloader will only work on wwe roms as your mortscript file states 'storage card' as a set location and that is named differently on non wwe roms.

Also I have moved this to HD2 Themes and Apps along with the rest of the Bootloaders as its not technically an Android App but a WinMo App.

What one click are you referring to? If you are talking about odin one click, the only thing you should be using that for is going back to stock before flashing a rom. If a rom is flashable through clockwork than you would just put it on your internal sd card and follow the instructions for flashing through Rom Manager.
