Android :: GPS - Assisted Satellites
Jul 22, 2010So I noticed 2 GPS options on my Droid X. They are:
1. Use GPS satellies
2. Enable Assisted GPS
what is the difference between these two options, and second of all, can I be charged extra for its use with an unlimited data plan? The second option says something about "preferred service" so I am a little scared to use it because I don't want to get gouged on my bill.
Android :: GPS Initialization - Finding Satellites
Nov 26, 2009I have searched the forum for GPS but find nothing so I am posting here, move if the wrong place. I have a VZ Droid and find that the phone service has to be turned on before the GPS will find any satellites. The fix will continue to hold if I switch to Air mode so the phone is not needed after initialization.
Google has been good enough to give us European maps but if a phone service is needed to initialize the GPS the location function etc will not work in Europe. I had planed on taking the Droid to Italy next year but it looks as if it will be useless. Any workaround or is my phone "broken"?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHTC Desire :: GPS Cannot Find Any Satellites At All
Nov 17, 2010I hope to get a lot of experience on using my, for me, way too complicated HTC Desire, 1337 android users! So here's the deal. I bought an almost brand new Desire from a friend a couple of months ago. Since I just moved to another city, I was extremely fond of the GPS navigation software and the Google maps app. It was working like a charm, despite the fact that I read that the Froyo update had complicated things for some users.
Anyways, I've been using it massively, and have always been able to get a quick location and satellite fix. However, the other day - it just couldn't find any satellites at all! Since then I've been on an internet scavenge hunt for clues as to what might be the problem, and I've downloaded GPS tester and various other apps for GPS configuration and ultimately ended up doing a "hard reset" in sheer desperation. How can this be? I mean, to me it doesn't make a whole lotta sense for it to just stop working like that.
HTC Desire :: Fast Connects To Satellites?
Apr 19, 2010I just got my Desire last week, upgrade on Vodafone from a Samsung Omnia, and this one is by far THE best one ever. PRO: with 1Ghz cpu it runs like the wind apps:lots of them and till now haven't had any problem with any game or app, one of my favorites is AndFTP...use it to conect to my computer via wifi to get all that i need GPS: i can't belive how fast it conects it self to satelites, i haven't tested it on a cloudy day, cause it been all sunshine these days. the time it took to conect was les then 10 sec out side, and less then 30sec-1 min indoor near a window. with my previous phones N95-8G and Omnia, if it was sunny...2-3 min, cloudy-more the 5min...sometimes 10min, and indoor by the window...never...got sick of waiting more than 10-15 min. display...it's big enough network conection....never fails...full signal anyware, unlike my wifes sam jet on "3" network witch kind of suck, outside signal quite good, but indoors....is more or leass with no signal came preinstalled with a sandisk 4g microsd card very thin-for what it has inside....
-can't install apps on sdcard (why is that???is that how all andoird OS are? do i have to root it, and if so is it possible to root the desire?) low memory on the phone to install apps and games...it practicly asks for rooting wheres all the memory???...on gsmarena and other sites...at the desires specs the Internal memory si 576 MB RAM; 512 MB ROM, and i use smart monitor lite and at system my it says my memory is 398.34, and at storage (/systems+/cache+/data adds to 250+40+147=437)...can't properly close and app -no DIVX...come one...why???..
Motorola Droid X :: GPS Satellites Always Running With 2.2
Sep 30, 2010I've always kept the GPS and the DATA power on the power widget flipped on.
I would turn on BLUETOOTH and WIFI as needed.
During 2.1, the GPS would activate only if I opened an app that required it, like Google Maps.
But since 2.2, I've noticed the GPS running for no apparent reason.
No open apps, no open browser, no open maps. Nothing. it just runs on it's own. An it only started since 2.2.
I've never had to shut off my GPS before, but now, I have to keep it off and turn it on as necessary. Very frustrating.
Motorola Droid :: Maps And The GPS Could Not Lock Onto Satellites
Dec 27, 2009Up until two days ago, my GPS worked perfectly. Start up Maps and the GPS would lock onto satellites and give me an accurate position. Yesterday, I checked Weatherbug (uses GPS for location) and it said I was in a city in Florida (i'm in Ohio). Strange I thought, so I restarted and got an accurate reading. Immediately after that I started up Maps and the GPS could not lock onto satellites. It kept searching. Finally, that night, it started working again.
Well today, it's doing it again. It won't lock on to get an accurate position.
Like I said, everything was fine since I got the phone on launch day. Two days ago, the problems started.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSamsung Captivate :: Unable To Connect To AT&T Servers For Update / Locking Onto Satellites?
Sep 23, 2010So before the update yesterday, I loved my Captivate. GPS worked great as did the rest of the phone. I figured since getting the update message, I would go for it. During the update the service was pretty bad in the office so I canceled the download to continue it when I got home. When I went to continue, it automatically rebooted my phone and applied the partially downloaded FW and completely bricked the phone.
Since last night, I have exchanged my Captivate twice. Each time the phones have major issues. Forget about locking onto satellites, it can't even get any in view in the middle of the street. On my current phone, forget not being able to connect to AT&T servers for the update, I can't even connect to Android Market...
I spoke with AT&T and the CS Rep made a special note on my account that told the store to not let me leave until I have a phone that has functional GPS, updates and fixes whatever issues I have. Additionally I was offered a credit to my account for the inconvenience. Add to that the CS Rep made a note to call me on my 30th day to make sure everything is working and if not, we will see where we go from there (cancel, extend the return period...).
Now I'm not sure what to do. I will try one more exchange but if that doesn't work, I'm considering going back to my dumbphone for now... I doubt I will get an iPhone4 and after 4 Captivates, don't think I will keep exchanging.
Sorry to vent my frustrations but this has been an aggravating couple days - even more so that my bricked phone worked great in all aspects.
Android :: WiFi Range And Ad-Hoc Networks
Oct 14, 2010I am initiating the design of an application that would require an Android phone to connect to another Android phone via Ad-Hoc networking with or w/o security. I would like to know if Android supports ad-hoc networking. I would also like to know what is the average range of the wifi signal from an Android handset point-to-point with no obstructions. I cannot find any information about this on the web.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Smoothness Completely Lost On Brightness Change Range
Jul 15, 2009I am trying to resolve following task: smooth change of brightness from 100% to 0%, but can't gain effect of smoothness. Want to emphasize that I am using following approach of brightness change. The recommended one.
WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = window.getAttributes();
lp.screenBrightness = floatPercent;
// 0 - 1 window.setAttributes(lp);
Well, it obviously works, but not smooth. I will describe logic. I have a thread that changes brightness:
while (isRunning()) { Thread.sleep(sleepTime);
spentTime+=sleepTime;
view.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
changeBrightness();
} } );
}
We have duration of brightness change, for example 10 seconds. I calculate next value of floatPercent (see code snippet above) the way, sleepTime should always be less than 50ms. So looks like it had to be smooth. But I always get not smooth transition. It relates specially the range of 0% - 5% of brightness. Smoothness is completely lost on this brightness range. What can you propose?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Auto Enable Wlan Only When Available Access Point In Range?
Nov 21, 2010I have just recently moved from Nokia E75 to HTC Desire, and there are lots of stuff on the E75 that I will never miss... But, there are a couple of things I am missing very much, tho. One thing was a very clever feature that saved a lot of battery... On my HTC Desire I have to leave wlan enabled at all time for the phone to utilize wireless at all, and I can see that it's consuming approx 20% of the battery power - even if no apps or widgets are accessing internet.
But on the Nokia E75 it's very different... The wlan is switched off by default, so whenever an application on the E75 needs a data connection (internet), it will quickly enable wlan and check to see if there are any networks nearby it can access, and then disable it again if it doesn't find any. (If no wlan access point is detected, it will go online using the mobile data connection automatically instead)
Android :: Retrieve A TextView's Visible Line Count / Range?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Finding Calendar Application (show Event Date Range) Settings?
Jul 21, 2010I'm going to ask a shot version of my question first because, as I was typing out my thorough explanation below, I realized that I had seen a setting that I believe fixes my problem but I cannot remember where it is or how to get to it. In short, the problem I am having is that Non-recurring events (one time appointment) that are in the Google Calendar online are not showing in the Moment calendar app. There was a Settings Page not sure if it was in the main OS menu or the Calendar menu that gave you the option of choosing to show events "before" a certain date and to show events "After" a certain date. You repeatedly tap the two "before" or "after" options and the dates would move further back in time and further forward in time respectively creating a date range.
Non-recurring events, obviously, continue to show for years prior or in the future but Non-recurring one-time events outside of a "range" of a time period do not show. Does Anyone know what the setting I am referring to and how to get back to it?? If not, perhaps my more thorough explanation of my problem and what I am trying to accomplish below might help me find the display before this date/after this date setting that I cannot find again! (longer explanation/description follows below): We have a Moment and an EVO and we are both new to Android but it appears I am only having the problem with our Moment. Though we are new to Android and the gmail sync, I am very comfortable with the sync process and working with Google Calendar online or on the phone and the settings for forcing a sync, choosing which calendars to display, etc. I did some troubleshooting of the problem and this is what I have figure out here goes:
It appears that the calendar on the Moment is only showing recurring events birthdays, anniversaries anything where the event is set to recur some time in the future. The non-recurring events a random party, a random doctor's appointment does NOT show on the Moment Calendar app! I prefaced my issue with being comfortable and familiar with the Google calendar operation because I am certain that the events are in the Google Calendar online. If I change the one-time event to a yearly recurring event and force the phone to sync then WHAM BAM the now recurring event shows in the Moment calendar app. Remove the recurrence and go back to the one-time doctor appointment, sync, and disappears again! The other odd thing is that "old" Non-recurring events that have already passed do seem to continue to show on the Moment calendar app for about a month. In other words, stuff back to about a month from today (today 7/20) DOES SHOW even if non-recurring but anything older than a month does not show.
Now I can Understand why if you had a doctor's appointment on May 20, 2010, that that even should NOT appear on either your Google Calendar online OR your Moment calendar app for May 20, **2011** because that doesn't make sense. However, it DOES make sense and is important to be able to go back to May 2010 and ask,"what day was that appointment with so-and-so company?" and you scroll back in your calendar to see the name of the company or "In February, 2010, did our son or daughter see the doctor? and you scroll back a few months to see that your son and not your daughter went. The Google Calendar online does NOT automatically purge older events, they are all visible online back yearsand years. Why is the Moment "purging"/not displaying non-recurring events on the phone that are in a range of about 1 month old to about to happen in a month?
