Hi! I want to ask you something:
I am using HB 2.2 with Hunds Kernel, all is working properly, only the GPS doesn't work so well. I tried using GPS Status with the GPS Dongle attached to my TF, he sees some satellites, but he can't fix them, they suddenly disappear.
I don't know if is a ROM problem, kernel problem or what else.
There's something I can do?
Thanks.
I have read some tips on the Internet. That was useful for me. I will post it here so if someone need that, can read!
Here's the step by step to setup GPS BT Streaming to a TF201 :
1) root the PHONE (not the Tablet)
2) download "Bluetooth GPS" on the prime (or tablet) by googoo android. This will receive the GPS signal over bluetooth.
3) enable mock locations under developer settings on the prime settings
4) download a GPS to Bluetooth app on the PHONE. There are several
4.1) I use "Bluetooth gps" by meowsbox free trial 1.49 full version
4.2) you will need to grant su privileges to the GPS to Bluetooth app you use
4.3) some apps work better with certain phones
5) start GPS and gps streaming utilizing utility from #4 on the phone
6) pair phone and prime under bluetooth settings, in the settings menu of both tech.
7) open up Bluetooth GPS on the prime choose the PHONE from the dropdown source menu and click connect
8) you should now be able to utilize GPS as if it were native on the prime
8.1) you can see feed from bluetooth gps, see sats with GPS test, utilize maps or special nav charts e.g. boats planes etc.

Current Setup
1. Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe
2. titan_radio_3.27.00.exe
3. dcd_titan_kitchen_2.3.2.rar
Everthing works with some data issues when downloading large files due to a but in the titan_radio_3.27.00.exe (I can live with it).
The problem is when I partnership the Titan with the Holux 240 GPS external Bluetooth GPS it does not connect. I can see the device but never can connect, Yes I use the standard 0000 passcode. Other Bluetooth devices ie my headset Moto N700 and car head unit Sony BT-2500, audio and hands free all work. I'll be travelling to an area with no Digital service and would like to use the GPS with Navigation software.
When I restore the original TELCOM ROM, I have no problems with Holux 240, Moto N700 and Sony BT-2500. When I connect I see a serial port as a list service.
Some threads talk about a fix for the Bluetooth stack? nueROM or Dogguy in PPCGeek.
Another item to be noted. With Bluethooth A2DP headsets, if I connect once do I have the reconnect to the device again? The Sony BT-2500 pairs with with Titan (any CE ROM) but I need to resave the audio everytime.
I haven't tried my Holux GPSlim 240 with any of the new ROMs yet, but I'll try to remember to give it a shot when I got off work.
I'm curious though - why would you want to use external GPS when you can use the one built into the phone? My Titan's GPS seems to be more accurate than my Holux 240. You don't need digital service to use the GPS, unless you're using Google Maps or some other program that downloads maps on the fly. If you already have a navigation program with maps, just use the built-in GPS.
I thought the GPS chip in the Titan was a gpsOne that uses digital cellular signal from the towers to triangulates your position.
From phonenews.com
Installing this update will enable GPS to function inside your HTC Titan. It enables the gpsOne chipset in your device to function as a standard GPS device, compatible with Windows Mobile 5 & 6 GPS applications, including Google Maps, Windows Live for Mobile, and navigation software such as TomTom Navigator. Keep in mind that gpsOne is not autonomous GPS, you will need to have home network coverage in order to maintain a GPS lock.
I posted about this same problem with my Holux 1200. The internal GPS always takes 5+ minutes to connect for me no matter where I am or what I use to juimp start it, so there are times when I'd want to use my external receiver for a quick connection. When setting up my receiver I set the outgoing COM port to 0. Then from the external GPS settings I try to set the GPS hardware port to 0 also, but the setting doesn't stick. It always reverts back to the default which is none. Some people have told me that they never set the GPS hardware port, but I always had to previously to use my GPS receiver. Now with the internal GPS enabled I can't.
Found some more information
gpsOne can operate in 4 modes:
Standalone - Your handset has no connection to the network, and uses only the GPS satellite signals it can currently receive to try and establish a location.
MS Based - Your handset is connected to the network, and uses the GPS signals + a location signal from the network.
MS Assisted - Your handset is connected to the network, uses GPS signals + a location signal then relays its 'fix' to the server, which then uses the signal strength from your phone to the network towers to further plot your position. You can still maintain voice communication in this scenario, but not 'Internet/Network service' ie Web Browser, IM, streaming TV etc..
MS Assisted/Hybrid - Same as above, but network functionality remains. Normally only in areas with exceptional coverage.
I found a thread over at droidforums.com that talks about tethering your android phone's GPS to your PC using Bluetooth with an app in the market called BlueNMEA. I also found this app called Bluetooth GPS in the market that allows your android device to use an external Bluetooth NMEA compatible GPS with several apps that require a GPS, like Google Maps.
Has anyone tried installing BlueNMEA on their phone and side loaded Bluetooth GPS on the NC and tested this yet to get GPS functionality on the NC?
I bought my wife a NC for Christmas and can’t wait to try it myself but since it’s a Christmas gift for her I can’t really open it up yet to try it out.
that would work if we can get bluetooth enabled.
I guess I missed that. I had assumed the bluetooth was working.

Pair the G-tab & your GPS and then download an app like:
https://market.android.com/details?id=googoo.android.btgps&feature=search_result
or
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.mobilej.btgps&feature=search_result
Make sure to following the directions of the app (turn on 'Allow Mock locations', etc).
GPS
Thanks for the info, i'll try it out ...
Since google maps requires an internet connection for you to navigate, your 10.1 inch screen gps (aka gtab) will be useless. What you need is something like copilot. It's a gps app for android that has a preloaded map of the country.
I bought a gtab for my elderly dad specifically to make it a 10.1 inch gps unit for him. He loves it.

I use Co-Pilot and it works well. Note that some people are having issues with getting the app to play nice with the G-tab when purchased from the market. I bought it years ago from their website, and it installs a bit differently.
If you happen to have a phone that supports tethering, you can always tether the tab (WiFi or Bluetooth in some cases) and get your google maps fix that way. I sometimes tether the G-Tab to my Droid X, and then use Google Nav or Waze.
Also a new version of Google Maps should be coming out that supports caching of map tiles. Not sure of the exact mechanism yet, but it should allow for the use of navigation without a connection.
Thanks Z-B for your input, i am hoping that the new update allows for using google maps without a wifi connection.
Is there a way or an app to let me use my bluetooth GPS receiver without enable the Mock location? I want to play ingress but Galaxy S' gps sucks and try to use an external one...
Any advice?
Get a CM10 ROM and you can select GPS source
Hi all,
I have a car, which has a windscreen with additional anti-UV layer (violet-like, when looking at it from the outside). Unfortunately thus windscreen successfully restricts any kind of radio transmission (eg. GPS signal, anti-radar detection, etc.). I've bought a standalone GPS bluetooth receiver (Nokia LD-3W), this sort of devices has much better signal reception than internal one. It can receive signal indoor, no matter which floor I am on. My plan was to put it at the back of my car, in the windowed trunk. And then, Houston, we have a problem...
Android does not support external GPS receivers by itself. You have to download a bluetooth gps app from the GP (one of the best is called Bluetooth GPS). Turn bloetooth on, turn on mock location in programming options (you have to, because internal GPS will still be on; turning of locations in android disconnects from the external GPS), turn mock GPS in the Bluetooth GPS app, and then, theoretically, you can use your external GPS. Yes, it works, but...
Many, many apps have a check for the mock location and refuse to work with these settings... Some navigations, all radar-warners used in my country, family locators and many more.
I'm eagerly looking for a way to patch an app to disable this check (Lucky Patcher?) or any other way to solve this problem.
Thanks,
SQBI
