I just got the PPC-6800 through Sprint and installed the Google Maps on it. I cannot get the "My Location" feature to work. I am wondering if this is not compatible with Sprint's CDMA. Does any one have information on this?
I am also unable to get the new My Location feature working with Sprint CDMA and dcd's 1.6.7 ROM (not that I think this is an issue with the ROM). I have not tried with my external BT GPS receiver.

As i understand it, the latest version of Google Maps has the ability to "guesstimate" your location based on fancy cell-tower triangulation, not requiring a GPS device. I assume that this is the "My Location" feature referenced. I could be wrong.

Titan is among those devices that does *not* report to cell tower, therefore, the "my location" will not work on Titan. don't quote me on this, but I think "My location" works on GSM phones.
boyz is right... it only works on GSM phones....
I remember when I was on ATT...there were all kinds of fun apps that would do stuff as you moved from one cell tower to the next....When I left my office area I would get a voice prompt "CALL YOUR WIFE AND TELL HER YOU"RE ON YOUR WAY" lot's of cool stuff like that....
But, alas...we're the CDMA redheaded step children....with SMOKIN FAST INTERNET ACCESS....keep your GSM you basta......
sorry....what were we talking about?

confirmed working w/ my holux gpslim240 (on dcd 1.6.8, no less).
indeed, this new triangulation method thing DOES work on many cell phones, and even some CDMA ones. However, the Mogul is not one of the supported handsets at the moment.
Its totally possible tho... works the same way as Sprint Family Locator. Its just that this feature is still in beta, and they haven't gotten around to our device yet. I think I even read this on the official google support pages.

Um... yeah, that worked from day 1. Even the original 2.08 Sprint rom with the old version of Google Maps supported an attached GPS... This shouldn't be news. I've been watching that little blue dot move inside a sattelite image for kicks for over a year now on my previous PPC phones as well.

There had been earlier reports of problems with BT items (specifically headsets) on dcd's roms/kitchens. Just thought I'd throw out there that my BT GPS receiver does work, for sure. It might not have ever been an issue on dcd's rom.

Your little blue dot moves around? In Google Maps, I seem to be able to find my position, but in order for Google Maps to refresh my location, I seem to have to turn off the GPS function (in G.M.) and turn it back on.

I had a hard time finding the resolution to that, and I just stumbled upon it one day. Here's how I have my Mogul setup with my GSAT:
Settings > GPS Settings:
Program port = COM1
Hardware port = COM0
Baud rate = 115200 (I don't think this matters)
Access = Manage automatically
In GMM, GPS Settings = Set by Windows
I get about 10ft of resolution with maybe 3sec delay.

So you are not using an external GPS receiver? I've tried it on my Mogul with no luck. From what I'm reading Sprint does not give out the cell tower info that google maps requires to use the "My Location" feature

Well hopefully us Sprint Mogul users will have GPS soon. I know there are other threads on this already, but I'm curious if Sprint and HTC will allow the GPS to be used by third pary apps such as Google Maps. Or will they limit us to using Sprint NAV
Well, I have a Fuze. And my Google Maps is so innaccurate with my current location. It has my current location being waaaaaay off by a couple streets/blocks. Even when I'm in a main highway--it shows me a few streets away from the highway. I'm not sure if it has something to do with my settings or if it's just AT&T's tower sucking so bad. Anybody know??
Hi Guys,
I've been combing through this site and PPCGeeks for a week now with no success, so I though I ask. I can not get my GPS to work, I'm beginning to think that this phone (VZW Touch Pro) doesn't come with a GPS.
This is what I tried so far. I made sure my GPS setting is set to ON in the phone settings. QuickGPS downloaded the satellite list, installed and ran HTC GPS Tool per the instructions loadshadowz. I've downloaded and install PHM Registry Editor and edited my registry files. I've also downloaded and installed bored's GPS fix. Also read that someone had luck using com3 instead of 4, so I tried coms0-5 with no luck.
I flash my phone with Mighty ROM 5.
Thanks

This should be exactly what you are looking for. I can't believe that no one has told you this yet.

Here is another poor soul.
I did the Verizon MR1 (2) update, bought an external GPS receiver, and NO GPS. It appears that I am not getting the bluetooth receiver to pair up with my Touch Pro and I don't see any GPS on Google Maps except when my data connection is running. I keep shutting it off, but it comes back on.
Am I doing something wrong? If so, could someone tell me what it is and how to correct it.
Thanks
After applying GPS Fix for Verizon, you can use internal GPS. No need to buy external one. Verizon locked it out by software means and the receiver itself is inside the phone. You just have to unlock it by that fix and then download GoogleMaps for Windows Mobile device. If it shows you that version for your phone is not available the go to m.google.com using PC Computer and download generic Windows Mobile cab file. Seems like google is unaware that Verizon unlocked GPS receiver and still thinks it's incompatible. Probably because our (Verizon) phones introduce themselves as Raph500 instead of Raph800 as all other TPs.
I myself downloaded MR1 V2.0 release from here and guarantee it works. Just backup your contacts etc since this is complete ROM from Verizon so you WILL loose everything that is on the phone (Storage Card is safe and won't be erased).
Let me know
Hope I'm not duplicating anything, but there seems to be a lot of BT related questions and none answered in one unified place. Also I think the BT Dev thread should be left to the devs (to keep it easier for them to work on things, rather than help us mere mortals ).
This applies to CM7 (latest nightlies, Tablet Tweak RCs) ONLY (as far as I know).
So, if bluetooth does not turn on, there a few things that you can try.
Do a HARD reset (that is, hold down the power button until the NookColor turns off, then start it back up.
Fix Permissions in ClockworkRecovery:
Boot into CWR (w/SD, load it in. With CWR installed on eMMC, go to ROM Manager > Reboot into Recovery. Alternatively, hold down the power plus "N" button for ~8 seconds (from a shutdown NookColor).
Try both!
An interesting thing to note is some users (myself included) can only start up bluetooth within a pretty short window of time after the NC has booted up. Not sure why timing is important, but could be a factor for those who cannot start up BT after some given time of operation.
I found this tip that may work after a fresh (read: wipe system/data) install, but may also work after flashing a nightly over a nightly.
If you're ready to turn on Bluetooth, there's a trick. If you don't do this, Bluetooth will just refuse to turn on / be enabled.
Turn off wifi (Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi)
Reboot
Turn on Bluetooth (Settings > Wireless & Networks > Bluetooth)
Turn on wifi
It seems a bit odd, but that's what you have to do. From then on out it'll work fine.

Known functional Bluetooth devices
For tethering data via BT, try android-wifi-tether. While it can be used to create an access point on your phone via wifi, you can also opt to use BT to create the tether. This works well in conjunction with TetherGPS which I use to provide GPS info to the NC from my G1 while using CoPilot Live to show navigation (I don't have data on the G1).

Tried that previously and it did not work for me.
In other words, it works as with all the kernels I've tried (your OC'd and stock kernel): it will start up if I start is quickly, but otherwise not.

me too. I went back to 4/4 since them. If I leave BT on all the time, it is on when I boot, but if I turn off BT and reboot, it won't come on without a hardboot (holding down power.)
Fix permissions is NOT needed, just a hard boot.

For the last few days Ive been trying to get BT working w/ my car stereo, using phiremod 5.3
I have no problems enabling Bluetooth (first time I had to reboot a few times and fix permissions)
With it flat against the stereo, I'm 'paired but not connected' and getting it to actually connect usually takes 4 - 5 tries.
After its connected- when I try to play any kind of music, it gets stuck every few seconds- and stays stuck for more than a few seconds (like 10) and plays again.
I just downloaded this kernel, (wiped caches, fixed permissions again) and it connected on the second time, and only got 'stuck' once for maybe 2 seconds, and played the rest of the song with no problems.
Seems like it changed something on my end...
Just figured I'd mentioned it.
(I can go back to the other kernel, or a different version of cm7, and see if I get the same connecting/ stuttering problem, if you thing it would help)
Btw- thanks so much for sharing all of your hard work!

Never had an issue with the IMEI number, but here's how I got it setup.
Start with the TetherGPS app running server on the phone and client on the NC, as well as tether-wifi from google running on the phone, then connect to the AP on the NC
Next, open/install the app. It should read the GPS data from the phone
Now, switch back to a wireless connection with internet access, download the voice, then enter the serial/etc...
Finally, load the app back up after all the registration stuff 'n things, and use the "internet" connection from the phone to grab the GPS info.
Copied and edited from cm7 user thread.
I have xoom bluetooth keyboard with disconnect issues. Would the special kernel help with this?
From the accessories thread. "I found a work-around. Download the app Bluetooth Keyboard JP, change the settings in settings > Language and Keyboard to that app, then connect the keyboard." Anybody else try this or others? Blue Input is another one. I know of one more but can remember its name.
I'm running Phiremod v5.3 cm7 from emmc and cm7 nightlies from sd card. I usually have a data sd card but can switch it out. I have updated the cm7 sd card before. Not sure which nightly and OC I used last. Could use ClockWorksMod to flash this kernel to Phiremod v5.3. Could replace the kernel, uImage, on the SD card. Usually there are different kernels for emmc and sd card.
Another issue: When I have the keyboard active and playing flash files from the internet, it seems to buffer more. If I move the keyboard out of range or use settings to disconnect the keyboard, the buffering is less and the flash files play better. I have cyfi bluetooth external speakers. When I use them I get the same buffering issue, so I just use an external player through the headphone jack instead.

Apparently the latest version of Copilot has introduced this error. I have spoken with tech support regarding the issue and they told me that they are aware of the problem and will release an update early next week that will fix the problem. Apparently if you have version 8.2.504 it works, but the new version breaks it. The dev won't send me a copy of the old version, so I guess I'll just have to wait and hope.

I don't know if that is a solution, but the problem appears to be a conflict between wifi and bluetooth. Turn off wifi and most of your keyboard problems will go away.
Also there is an app on the market called "Null Keyboard" Which simply turns on a keyboard device that disables everything keyboard related. It doesn't disable bluetooth input, but it gets rid of the long-press pop ups and is suppose to solve other issues as well (including the software keyboard popping up every time you want to type.)
I haven't had time to install it, but it's purchased.
Does anyone know where (on the Nook) the BT chip/antenna is located?
It might help to know, since the range is so limited...

I was just using google voice to text from several feet back. In fact it was hard to read the small print from that distance. I did not realized that keyboards have a larger range then headsets.
Testing Bluetooth Keyboard JP now. Force closes, so just switched to swift keyboard I downloaded from amazon app store for free. To get out swift keyboard and get a null keyboard, I hit the back key on the xoom keyboard, then the virtual swift keyboard no longer shows up.
@chisleu do you have a link or instruction to modify bluetooth keyboards so that keys can have their mappings corrected. Xoom has some correct and some wrong or disabled under CM7.
Couldn't get BT to work at all however powering down while the wifi is off, and turning the bluetooth on before the wifi made it works on the first try. Was streaming Slacker to my stereo in a matter of minutes. Wifi doesn't seem to interfere with the BT audio stream at all, audio sounded crisp and perfect. Range however was still limited to a foot or so.
Hoping there is a possible hardware mod that can hook up an antenna to the BT chip. I'd be in heaven if I had full BT functionality on this beast.
FYI, Although I don't have any RF experience I'm still an electrical engineer so if anyone can toss me a bone on the PCB layout or pinouts of the nook I might be able to try stuff to boost the range.
What is the feasibility of adding dial-up networking client support to CM7? Some folks are able to tether their NC to their phone using an ad hoc wifi network, and others have had success via a Bluetooth personal area network (PAN) using the "pand" utility. Unfortunately, I have a Blackberry phone, and it does not support the PAN profile. It does, however, support dial-up networking (DUN) over Bluetooth (confirmed with a Windows laptop).
According to https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/projects/bluetooth-faq, "dund" is the client utility that is needed to establish a dial-up connection from Android to another device. When I run this command on the NC, it says "dund: not found". I'm not a developer and don't know how much effort would be involved in adding this functionality to the build. Is it just a matter of including the binaries, or is there additional development work involved?
Thanks in advance..
Alright everyone, I'm getting annoyed and I'm hoping someone more talented than me can come here to save the day. I'm attempting to use a conditional init.d script that runs if it finds the file of my choosing (in this case, radio.sh in /system/bin) and then if it finds it, it will disable radio. What I'm having problems with is that it keeps giving me connection refused on boot when disabling radio. So, any idea?
Have you mounted your system as read/write at the beginning of the script?

Hey globatron,
If you remove phone.apk and telephoneyproviders.apk you no longer get cell stand by in battery usage but it breaks GPS. If I leave the files and issue the stop ril-daemon command. It turns off the radio and GPS still works but cell standby appears in battery usage. Is there a way to disable the radios completely, still have GPS work and not have cell standby in battery usage?

You have to have cell standby for GPS to work, I think they are in the same chip.

I don't get what you're trying to accomplish, if youre trying to disable the CDMA radio and use wifi only like me, but want GPS, just turn on airplane mode, turn on wifi and GPS and you're set. If I'm mistaken about what you're trying to do then never mind.
Side note, leaving the CDMA radio on didn't bother me because I don't have service with my view, but it still takes from the battery of course.

Here is something odd.. gps does work if you remove the stuff for cell standby. I thought it was broken (everytime I tried in my house it never locked on a signal) but it's not. I fired up navigation just now and while it did take longer to lock a signal then with the radio stuff in, it did lock and start giving me directions.. I guess the cell radios assist the gps(considerably) but are not fully responsible for it.
This is an important functionality to disable the cell radio!
I've been trying for days now - can't understand why Android doesn't simply provide a checkbox in the settings for this (like for Bluetooth or Wifi).
When people suggest airplane mode, they don't realize that this blocks the stock dialer from placing any calls.
This is really poor design on the part of the Android team: they include a sip stack (thank you!) , then force users to resort to airplane mode to disable the cell, and then block the dialer (when all a user wants is simply to use sip over wifi)...

sounds like it sends the command before ril is ready.
The only way I got it to work was by having "sleep 60" before the radiooptions command.
Maybe there is some trigger for ril, so the command can run once its ready. I had done a loop to check if ril-daemon is running first, but that doesn't seem to be enough (probably takes more time to load the vender RIL next)
It seems radiooptions just disables the radio, but it still uses power.
Did anybody have success in disabling the radio? I'm also looking for the way how to use View 4G abroad without Sprint.
May be it's possible to modify the firmware to make it "wifi only" - exactly as it made for the HTC Flyer?

Interesting ! Thanks for the info
Anyone know what effect this will have on the mainver issue?

We may not be able to accept it, as our main ver is newer than this 2.... Update..
A ROM wil be made based on it so all we are missing is the radio. I think I may be wrong.

not sure if they are actually incorporating a radio update in this package or just some re-programming/new code. either way, it's always possible to flash a radio seperately.
Per HTC customer support, this is pushing out today starting at 4pm eastern time. I called them because I am having friendstream issues where the widget does not update Facebook automatically. They said this update may help. Take it for what it is worth.
My firmware is downloading now...
Just updated...I don't notice any difference except the signal bars going from 4 bars to 5.
yeah, just got mine too..didn't prompt or ask to download, it just started automatically lol
it updates while I was at school and I didnt even know. does not seem any different and I lost my root. I do not know if it is still unlocked though

Me neither. I'll be excited with I get ICS OTA. Unless I succumb to the temptation to root between now and then.
I thought the voice quality with phone calls was poor.... tinny, strident sounding especially with high pitched voices. Haven't made a call since the update but that would be a welcome fix.

Auto-updates Verizon Video
I noticed it updated Verizon Video, an app which I didn't update because it was asking for more security rights.
Looks like Verizon Video can now retrieve a list of running applications. If I were the suspicious sort... I'd imagine they would then send these application lists home using the network communications.
I still can't uninstall the thing even tho I will never use it.

I also noticed a Verizon location agent that I never noticed before. if we get root on this version then we can freeze or unninstall Verizon video or any other bloat again.
