[Desire HD General] thiagodark:
well, i made several tests with it, but i really didn't test 1.32 roms, not even the stock. I test it in "all" gb roms, and froyo (1.7x and later), the results that i got was:

froyo with sense roms have really poor sound, you can use volume booster, but you loose the stereo, srs, etc, etc... just the old mono sound, but really louder.

all gingerbreads was just fine, the sound was good and stereo, if you use volume booster on gb the sound doesn't keep louder, it just keep "different", you notice that something changed, but it's hard to know what (as matter of fact, it's the mono thing, i spend some time to realise it)

cm7 is specially good, cause, it not only has the problem solved (like all gb), but it has DSP manager what can do some wonders, like make the sound even louder, bass booster and mobile sorround (latest nightly, but only by command line)...

dsp makes sense based roms drain battery, what i can't live with... and use it with froyo/sense based roms it's not a good idea, it's not even close to be a fix.

to be short:

froyo/sense 1.7x and above = 70%.

froyo/sense with dsp = 90% (drain battery, loose srs, problems with bluetooth earphones)

all gb roms = 100%

cm7 with dsp = 115%

that's what i found with my tests, but i can easly be wrong! =oP

Hi guys,

I was wondering what combination of bluetooth devices i will need to get GPS functionality for my NC. Do i just need a bluetooth gps reciever?

Any link to products is appreciated!

--edit--

i do not have a smartphone
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bluetooth-gps-provider/de.mobilej.btgps if you're using the new build/kernel with bluetooth working.

Otherwise, not going to work.
[Nook Color General] cevans59:
I have been able to successfully pair my NC with a Global Sat 352 bluetooth GPS receiver using CM nightly 17 and BlueGPS4droid. It works in Google Maps but the range is horrible, around 12 inches.
[Nook Color General] hanbalfrek:
I have a really stupid question about this.

I don't see how it will work with just GPS.

I understand that GPS will give you location, but what about data for getting the maps?

When I'm using google maps on my blackberry or my wife's Iphone, it needs to download the map via data aside from just providing location.

Does the GPS do that as well?

Thanks for your patience.
[Nook Color General] stilger:
You will need data connection (tethered to another phone if you are on the road) to use Google maps(navigation). There are a few programs (Navigon and Co Pilot Live are two I found)that install all the map data that they use to your SD Card so you don't need a data connection.
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
you need an external bluetooth gps receiver. Install the Program "Bluetooth GPS" to your nook and use it to connect the bluetooth GPS Receiver.

They are roughly $50+

It needs to be NMEA compatible.
[Nook Color General] fanofanne:
I have been able to use my windows phone using gps2blue and that works too for gps.
[Nook Color General] jleong89:
so i do NOT need a data plan correct? that app + a receiver should allow me to use google maps gps (or other apps) on the road right?
[Nook Color General] time pilot aka:
The latest version of Google Maps will download and cache your route if you plan it in advance while on a WiFi connection, however, I haven't had a lot of success retrieving that cache once I get on the road...and usually end up re-downloading the map over my data connection.

So the answer is: You PROBABLY DO NEED a data plan. Unless you buy map software that downloads all the maps locally, there are a few Apps in the market.
[Nook Color General] joetrizeo:
There's a Gmap cacher program that I use on my netbook.

Perhaps something similar (or another gps program with prebuilt maps) for the nook?

(I think it's absolutely ridiculous to require a data connection for any program like this, it can be done preloaded at home. I also despise requirements of cell phone data plans based on this premise.......)
[Nook Color General] speedy1979:
I know this is a little off topic but there's an app that allows you to share your phones gps over wifi.

You install the host on your phone and the client is installed on your book.

I am going to search for it.....
[Nook Color General] speedy1979:
I found it! Its called tethergps by compton software.
[Nook Color General] jleong89:
thanks but i do not have a smartphone or a phone that requires a data plan (just a regular txt talk camera phone :P) but i am sure other's will appreciate the app you found!
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Backcountry Navigator can pre-download all kinds of different maps, OSM, Topo, etc..
[Nook Color General] jleong89:
great thanks guys! are there any particular gps receiver brands or chips that produce significantly better results than another?

anymore suggestions are welcome.

I'm looking at getting one of these guys from DealExtreme. The reviews are all pretty positive about the battery life, the speed, and it's ability to lock on to many satellites reliably.

I'm really close to pulling the trigger on one.
[Nook Color General] colorado_al:
Working OK for me with my BT GPT-600 SiRF Star III GPS.

Range is about 3 feet, so that knida sucks, but same as all the rest of the BT range so far.

Same as this one:

http://compare.ebay.com/like/150572...fe1ec11&itemid=150572160930&ff4=263602_309572

Since I have an HTC EVO, I think I will still use the tetherGPS, so I can get the data along with it.
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
Is there anything like tetherGPS for other phone OSes (Blackberry, Windows Mobile, iOS)? I have a BB at the moment; they suck, but it does have a functional GPS chip.

[Atrix 4G General] JohnnyDanger:
So I got my Atrix a few days ago. With my Captivate (when I had one) I had to carry a spare battery with me cause when used a lot, like I do now, I was getting maybe 8 hours of use out of it. Well yesterday I charged my Atrix to 100% and unplugged it at 10:05am Pacific Standard time. I just checked the battery and 24 hours later its at 30%. This is with brightness set to medium, gps and data on, checking the internet through the day (mostly on 3G), letting my son look around on youtube for a few hours (on wifi) and just getting normal useage out of it, like phone calls, texts and emails.

I really like my Captivate, but there were a few things that really ruined the experience for me, namely the battery life. I can understand why people would want it because of how easy it is to do custom roms and such, but I think I just want a mostly stock phone, just rooted so I can have a little more control. This is the phone. My wife even liked it so we are ordering one for her.

Looks like I will be around these forums for a while as I always find good information here.
[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:
There are a lot of things about this phone that are impressive!
[Atrix 4G General] ceo.mtcl:
Yes... The phone is smoother than others I've used.
[Atrix 4G General] UnCommonGrafx:

[Atrix 4G General] MotoAtrixFan:
I was more than just impressed when I got my Atrix. had bunch of smart phones in the past, LG, Nokia, Sony, Iphone. Symbian used to be the king of the hill, but after i got this last week i was truly impressed. 720p playback out of the box, connected straight to my Sammy HDTV in the living room, able to get into the webtop (netbook) mode via hdmi cable from a wireless keyboard/mice. It pretty much ran like a little computer but in a pocket-sized form factor. Just wait until they add the mkv native playback and unlock the 1080p mode. Keep in mind that we have one of the most advanced phone/computer in our hands, the hardware is there, just need the software updates to make it even better.
[Atrix 4G General] JohnnyDanger:
What surprised me more then anything is how much my wife likes the phone. This is her first smartphone and I convinced her to get an Atrix rather then an iPhone. She didn't like my captivate much, but has really been enjoying this phone, especially as a user of Facebook. That really shocked me.
[Atrix 4G General] abe1990:
i agree, the atrix is a great phone. i was a bit apprehensive to order one, seeing as i live in australia (which means a pain in the butt if i had warranty issues etc.), and there were multiple threads on the forum with lots of issues such as random reboots, wifi not connecting, bad battery life, bad build quality etc.

i decided to take the plunge, and couldnt be happier. ive had to phone for about 5 days now, and havent had any problems yet (fingers crossed). i dont think think i would care if the devs unlocked the bootloader, because everything just works out of the box. only minor problem is the horrible upload speeds, but im sure an update from AT&T would fix it (if and when they release it).
[Atrix 4G General] GSMinCT:
I'd probably buy one if I were in the market for a new phone right now, but given that I have a Captivate, I just can't see the point. The screen does look nice, I played with one in the store, but I feel like all of the ROM options on the Captivate keep it ahead of the pack even though the hardware has been topped by the Atrix. Interestingly enough, the other two "4G" phones from AT&T have the same resolution as the Captivate, so no upgrade there.
[Atrix 4G General] JasjarMan:
What do you guys upload that can't wait to be around wifi?
[Atrix 4G General] GSMinCT:
Who knows. The uproar about HSUPA is unbelievable. The user experience is exactly the same. HSUPA is probably the last thing I could care about on a phone. I ended up with it by accident by putting a new ROM on my Captivate, and that feature changed my experience exactly 0%.

Which are limited to what....600k?

Pretty sure you don't notice the extra second.
[Atrix 4G General] humjaba:
Honestly, it seems like the popular thing to do right now. Nerds like to rage in hoards. I have the phone, love it. Haven't found myself being limited in any way by the low upload speed. :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:
I havent either. Like you said...people just like to be pissed off about something. I havent noticed it affecting my use of the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
By having a low upload speed, your web browsing experience will be slower.

Back,when I had the phone, I had a higher latency than what I do now with my N1.

Upload speeds are becoming just as important as download speeds; having one limited will ultimately slow you down.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
That... is kinda hypocritical for you to say right? Seeing as you have this phone for its speed and dual core.

Hmm....
[Atrix 4G General] jkrohn:
I pay for tethering and use it quite extensively while I travel for business. Going from a 1.5Mbit uplink to 300Kbit is pretty noticeable.

Often wifi is either unavailable, costs money to connect to, or in the case of many hotels substantially slower than tethering.
[Atrix 4G General] newter55:
Well, I presume you can switch back to working on something else during the "extended" wait.

Personally I agree that speeds should be uniform across all devices, but I don't think that the upload speed makes much of a difference in everyday use.

I cannot post in the development section yet, but there is a new leak out for the new motoblur 3.0.0 software that you can flash over any stock rom. Check out my youtube video for details.

URL to my info video[no spaces]: w w w .youtube.com/watch?v=NPvTic9z-ng

Enjoy!:D
[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:
Eh, I'll personally pass. The 2.-whatever Blur royally sucks. I really doubt 3.0 will be a vast improvement. However, none the less, it's pretty niffy to be able to update for those that like blur.
[Droid 2 General] hunters116:
Yeah there isn't much different at all except for the launcher. The blur apps are just more stable, and the system seems to be smoother with the blur apps up.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
Would the upgrade be worth it for stock users who sometimes run into problems with the phone refusing to wake up when the power button is pressed?
[Droid 2 General] hunters116:
I would say so, unless it is a hardware issue. It definitely won't hurt to try. :)

Easiest way is to go into task manager and click on ram manager and check your ram total. Should say 341 mb's.

Trigger + Overstock = Awesomeness
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Melvin|:
I Think It Would Showw The Same As Before But Your kernel is installed..if you want to prove it , just got to task manager and see if ram increased to 341 mb...thats overstocks ram
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertd0619:
You should have it if you get the overstock bootup screen. Try the BLN app from the market. That's for making the capacitive buttonas light up and stay on or blink when you have a notification. Only work if you have a kernel with BLN which is what overstock has.

EDIT: or what the other two post above say. Lol.

I just recently have been experiencing a very annoying problem and I'm not sure the cause. At first I was using Handcent, and now I'm using Go SMS. When I receive a text, the app freezes completely and I can't open it back up without rebooting my phone. I'm using everything stock except the launcher (Launcher Pro), but I doubt that has anything to do with it. The default messaging app will show a blank conversation list and when I try to write a new message, it's dial-up internet slow (yeah, THAT slow!). The only solution I seem to be able to find is flashing the phone or just trading it in for another one.... Don't really wanna do that so it would be great it someone could help me find a solution! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I've had a similar experience. And when you say stock, do you mean as in unrooted, or like sprint lovers? But try this uninstall both go and handcent from your phone, reboot, then re-install one and try it. You're rooted, and on CM7 [happened when I was, no more though] do a clean install, wipe everything, flash the latest gapps, and then install the app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicko786:
Oh sorry, unrooted. I wouldn't say Sprint Lovers either, more like too lazy to root lol. But anyways, yeah, it's just unrooted. I've uninstalled handcent and reinstalled it twice already with the same results. I haven't tried uninsalling go sms, but since the same thing is happening I figure it's not the apps fault, but perhaps something going on with the phone itself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Under those circumstances, I think a quick factory reset, as much as a pain it'd be, would clear it up. But look into mybackup in the market. I think its a backup for apps for non-rooted users and I believe free, that way you can just restore since you can't use titanium backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicko786:
Aw... Well it looks that way. Thanks for your help. I'll look into that backup app. I'll let you know how that goes.
