Yeah, same here. I've been able to get maps to pinpoint but Navigation wont work. It seems like it's looking for heading data?

Is everyone seeing a "Use GPS satellites" option in Settings/Location and Security? Mine doesn't display that option.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] pan0k:
I am running VEGAn Beta 4. Everything works great. But when I use Navigation, I keep getting "Searching for GPS". The funny thing is that my location is shown moving on Navigation screen but I could not get the Navigation function.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] hashbrown:
Try BlueGPS4droid, its a pretty solid connection. At least you get the Map. My screen stays at the pop up while voice guidance is telling me where to go.

Does anyone have the apk for bluetooth gps? For some reason, my market app wont see it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kodakeos:
Wow - im very excited about this - My Archos was a PAIN - no root, so no way to edit, so I had to use 3g Hotspot - which disables bluetooth :P

Glad yall got this working, Ill have to try it on my gtab tonight
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Frrrrrrunkis:
Got the app. Now to see if it will work.

Running VS 3389 with the GApps enhancement on my Gtab...

I have installed the goo-goo apk in this post, and rooted my Droid X, and installed ShareGPS and TetherWifi. I get the two to connect, both wifi (gtab connects to the droidx) and bluetooth (paired but not connected), and shareGPS with Bluetooth GPS, but the bluetooth connection keeps getting dropped, and I have to reconnect the Gtab through Bluetooth to the Droid X.

Not sure what is causing these constant bluetooth drop-outs?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kodakeos:
set it up - Worked perfectly once I used sharegps - BT2GPS didnt work, kept jumping me into the ocean. started sharegps - enabled the NMEA setting and perfect!

cant wait to use this on my next road trip!

solution for searching for satellites

I needed gps on my gtablet from my htc hd2 running android so i tried share gps and Bluetooth gps! everything worked good until i tried google maps nav! I kept getting searching for satellites like most of us! i enabled nmea tried everything ! i tried every progrm combo available! finally i tried a trial of Bluetooth gps +output and bluetooth gps mouse! everything worked perfect now i can navigate everywhere! the only problem is they are paid apps! i never buy apps but i made a exception! first i used the trials of both and they were the only combo i found that works!b Bluetooth gps output is 1.50 us for unlimited use and the trial gives you only 10 minutes to try ! Bluetooth gps mouse gives you 10 minutes at a time its 2.66 us for unlimited!! i bought them and love em no problems as of yet!!! i had to go to the market on my htc hd2 and download them than use es file manager to back them up then side load Bluetooth gps mouse in my gtablet. enable connect with alternative bt method start service then connect to your already paired android phone! make sure you have btgps output running on your phone and have debugging enabled ! it might take a few minutes b4 your phone locks a gps signal but it will! so give the free trials a try! and let me know! pm me with any questions!!! once your connected and you gtablet shows you have a signal from your phone open google maps set a location and youll hear a voice giving you directions!! thats it!!

Update to VEGAn beta 5.1 and use BlueGPS4droid. On Location provider options, use "Bluetooth GPS will replace internal GPS". I use GPS Status to check and the Latitude came up correctly but the Longitude came up as 8 degree. But my Longitude should be -77 degree. I cannot use Mock mode at all.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] herbert1:
In order to use BlueGPS4Droid you have to:

enable bluetooth (obviously)

pair your bluetooth GPS (obviously)

enable Mock Locations (it won't work without this !)

enable Use GPS Satellites, if you have this option (if you don't have this option, you probably don't have an internal GPS and BlueGPS4Droid will auto-enable the provider...)

start the connexion with the gps mouse using BlueGPS4Droid.

If the connexion is not correct you should have a notification explaining why in the notification bar.

If not, you can also try to log some NMEA data in order to verify if you receive data from from the GPS or not...

If you receive data from the GPS (and of course have valid fixes), the problem is between BlueGPS4Droid and the other app. Perhaps because the GPS Location provider is not enabled (then verify point 3 above). If GPS Location provider is not enabled, GPS test should state that GPS is off (don't know what GPS Status displays in this case).

I am using a cheap chinese bt gps device. It works perfect with gmaps, but Ndrive can't find the gps... Any ideas?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dubge:
I have the nhl center ice app and it uses gps for blackout games and I can not get anything to give a location in the app so it is blacking out EVERY game :(

I can get everything set up but when I select get locations the long/lat both come up N/A
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TeutonicWolf:
Have you tried one of the apps available that "fakes" your GPS location? They will let you set a location for when you do not have a GPS available (as in our GTablet) or even allow you to override what an actual GPS reports...

I currently use "Location Spoofer" (in the Market) but I believe "Fake My Location" (I think that is what it is called -- also in Market) will do the same thing...

Location Spoofer has a checkbox that says "Spoof GPS location too (real GPS location might not work until reboot)

I haven't tried it for NHL Centre Ice though (I'm in Toronto -- Leafs games don't get blacked out)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dubge:
I did mess around a little with it at first and didn't get it to work. Also the app blacks out games that you are in the area. So if I was in Boston it wouldn't let me watch the game regaurdless if it sold out or not. It will let you listen to it though.

I will have to play around a little more with the spoof apps

Well I can get it to spoof on my phone but nothing on the tab

I had similar issues with 'Bluetooth GPS' and Co-Pilot Live.

I switched to this GPS Driver:

And all seems happy now. Works with Co-Pilot, Google Nav, and Waze.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] godsavz:
I write apps for android (FaceTwitt, VerseADay, etc.. search for GodSavz in the market), and I could probably whip up a WIFI GPS client/server model if anyone is interested? If you eliminate the bluetooth connection, it would probably help decrease the battery suckage. :-)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] b3ltazar:
that would be very helpful to alot of us!!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] godsavz:
Cool. I'll get started on it and let you know when I have a demo ready. :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Itchiee:
Kinda have it working thru my Evo...

Whats nice is I have it plugged into the G Tab via USB and its charging it (or slowing the drain).

Not an ideal setup overall but could be useful at times.

Wish G Tab would have built in GPS... What a $10-20 chip if that.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jwlehane:
Thanks for these instruction. I have my

DroidX root, successfully sharing GPS data via ShareGPS

Gtab successfully receiving GPS data using Bluetooth GPS - allowing mock locations, and working with Google Maps.

Google Navigation on the other hand, cannot get past the opening modal dialog message 'GPS is Disabled - Show Location Settings? [ok]' on the Gtablet. Clicking OK brings me to the Security Settings tab, where there is rightly no GPS option. The voice directions work, but I can't proceed in Google Nav. What am I Missing?

Update I think I fixed this with the power control widget, by toggling the GPS button. Does the make sense?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Dave615:
I'm going to try this with my Droid1 when my GTablet comes in the mail (and after I root it of course). I'm also wondering if my old Freedom mini bluetooth GPS keychain receiver will work on the G Tablet. I paid $50 for that thing when I had a Samsung i760 Windows smart....I mean dumb phone a few years ago. Would be nice to get some use out of that receiver again.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Dadeeo:
USB GPS receiver

I tried tethering my Hero to my GTab with both wifi and bt running and it drained my battery so fast I couldn't believe it, I think USB is the way to go. When your traveling around in a car a cable isn't much of a problem. Your going to be tethered to a power supply anyway.

I think an app that could utilize this USB Earthmate LT-40 gps receiver to work with Google Maps/Navigation would be huge with the outdoor crowd. I know I'd buy it, Hint Hint. Of course I already have the Earthmate receiver. :-P

EDIT: After further looking at the available devices, I think BT is the way to go.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Dave615:
I mentioned earlier in this thread that I was going to try my Freedom Mini GPS keychain receiver on the G Tablet. Well I tested it yesterday with the new Android MapQuest using 3G Tether from my Droid and running Bluetooth GPS Provider app on the tablet. It works quite well. I haven't tried it with Google Maps yet, but I'm sure it will work. So the only thing I have to tether is 3G for map data and the receiver can stay on your keychain.

Here is the GPS receiver I have:

Here is the new one from the manufacturer's website:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] bluewheels41:
Interesting little device. But it doesn't seem to be available at the link you provided.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
For those that would like to share both the GPS & the Data connection across BT rather than GPS on BT and Data on Wifi, take a look at this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8236341&postcount=16

I was able to get Data & GPS tethered through BT to my DroidX (I had to use PDAnet on the DroidX ... .Wireless Tether for Root woudn't work on BT).

This helps me tremendously when I do get a call (the Wifi was causing massive interference with my BT Headset).

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipo16:
Its called QtADB, u will need android-sdk, aapt and i belive your phone rooted. Just google search QtADB and it will have links to everything if I remember correctly. Dont know about the ipod
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I use QtADB as well, and would have been my recommendation, but given that it requires the installation of the Android SDK, if you don't want to download and install that then there are apps on the market to do screenshots/screen captures. You'll have to search for them, I don't have any of them installed.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Keith:
I use shootme(in the market), but you have to be rooted. You simply run the program, then shake the phone when you want to take a screenshot.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalatorisaurus:
There's another app called: Drocap2 for root users. Obviously you need root, but there are some handy ways for taking screen captures such as having the icon in the notification bar and clicking it.

Hey guys,

Has anyone else noticed that the stock android browser (com.android.browser) seems to have issues on some pages with lots of png transparency? I think it's not utilizing the GPU, because it the same site will work fine using opera mobile and firefox 4 beta.

This seems to be a captivate only issue, as I've tested it on the droid 2 and droid incredible. I've also tried this on multiple different roms, same problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
As far as im concerned the stock browser never used the GPU just cpu. It might be different on other phones as any manufacturer has a better software team than samsung does >.>
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyRaffle:
UK company BMC Digital claims to have a 1600mah battery for the Desire HD... for just 6.50 UKP. That can't be right, surely?

They also have a 1230mAh battery for 16.95 UKP, which seems more believable.

Sorry that I can't post the links yet, as I'm a new user.
[Desire HD Accessories] daniel81k:
The typical capacity of a battery is one thing but what they print on the label is another thing! I think, it's impossible to improve the original battery 1230 mAh about 370 mAh to 1600 mAh and sell it for less than the half price.

Well I just bought one for the hell of it, will let you know it's performance probably this time next week.

So I used the one that was delivered for a couple of days, and let me tell you it is utter 'DOG-EGG' it doesn't last anywhere near as long as the original, but £6.50 for a spare ain't half bad.

[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
If OCLF isn't an MTD based ROM, you should be able to just flash a stock ROM (most of which will include a kernel that'll nuke CWM) from CWM.

If it's MTD-based, you would need to flash, with Odin (or Heimdall (sp)) the atlas pit and a compatible stock image, using 'repartition' mode.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
Is there a fix for when in HTC messaging, after you have typed a few letters, the last message in the conversation is highlighted for no reason, taking the cursor from the text box and completely messing you up until you tap the text input box again?

Maybe another revision of the HTC Messaging client?

And before you say 'Flash Energy ROM for its messaging client', my microusb port is broke, and I don't have HSPL, so I'm stuck on the ROM I have, but quite happy with it.

Plus I don't like those little iphone text bubbles in the client NRG uses, different strokes, different folks

TIA for any help, points in the right direction, cabs, reg tweaks, suggestions of any kind :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckych:
if your microusb broke... how do you charge your phone? For last highlighted message that is part of the HTC messaging client, i don't think you can stop it from happening with a simple registry edit.

You might want to look at loading 2018 messenger for HTC messaging i think that version doesn't have the highlighted boxes (might not 100% sure)

Try doing a search in the application forum for HTC messaging client, and you will most probably find your answer there.

Msg me if you need any help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnerz:
2 methods to charge the phone but the cheap option is to buy an external charger - all over ebay like a resh :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
Yep, external charger and extra battery. Works pretty well, I don't have to have my phone plugged in ever, or worry bout battery drain, as the other one charges long before the one in use drains.

That was the only charging method actually, cause those charging mats do use magnetic induction, but they still have to have the recieving end plugged into you usb port. Unless there's another way?

Thanks for the help on the messaging, I knew back in my Tytnn2 and Tilt2 days that it was a problem in HTC messaging, but been using Android so much it never really concerned me til now, I been gettin back to modding WM6.5 on my HD2. Woulda thought HTC would've released a fixed client by now.
