Hello everybody,
I am currently using a chinese android waterproof gps on my motorbike.
It is working, but sometimes when I drive the informations arrive too late (5 seconds, enough to take a wrong way in town and city).
I tried different gps apps but I realized that the problem is because of the internal antenna that is a normal GPS antenna and it is not a Glonass one, like in my smartphones or my android head unit in my car.
So I'd like to know how I can identify the internal antenna once I open the item so I can change it buying a Glonass supported antenna.
Unfortunatelly I cannot ask to the seller because I am still mad at her, she cheated on taxes and I had to pay more than expected.
Anyway if somebody can help me...
This is the item https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fod...of-GPS-Traker-WIFI-Bluetooth/32894530193.html but from a different company.
Still thanks to whoever will help me.

ok, I've updated the antenna installing a glonass one "ANT1590-1840H" but I have the same results, infact it can only see the normal GPS.
Any suggestions?

Hey everyone.
I bought a used, broken G1 off ebay and now that I've gotten it rooted & booted I've found that I am missing the longer (80mm) internal antenna cable that connects the motherboard to the UMTS antenna pcb. Without this cable there is no cell service to the phone so right now its pretty much a PDA and I'm carying around my old phone and my G1.
Since I know there are probably a bunch of users on this forum with broken G1's being kept for parts I thought I'd ask if there is anyone willing to part with one of those cables?
I'm in the US (San Diego, CA) and I'll gladly pay any reasonable shipping and "handling" costs...
Thanks.
You're best bet would be to find a broken one on ebay probably.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but it's a GREAT resource to have for your phone.

dang im looking for this wire also.... let me know if you find where to get one.... i'll let you know if i find a place also.
Anyone ever manage to find one of these ?
Forgive my ignorance regarding GPS devices....
I live in the Middle East and I see the current thread regarding Bluetooth GPS devices for the G tablet. Before I buy one of the mentioned devices, has anyone been using them outside the US? Or better yet, if someone can tell me if they will work outside the US/Canada, I'd appreciate it.

GPS signal can be picked up in the middle east without a problem.
The real problem is finding the maps, if you can be sure that whatever application you are going to use on the GTab for the GPS navigation will have maps for your location then you should be fine with any of these BT GPS's.
By the way, the ebay seller mentioned on the other thread wont ship internationally, your best bet is finding an Asian listing, there is tons of BT based GPS to be had there.
Best of luck,
A quick look at the Android market had some apps that said they were worldwide apps so I may be in luck. If anyone has used an app in Kuwait, please let me know.
Thanks for the info!
So does the Samsung Galaxy Note i717 have the hardware for an FM Radio or not? I saw some posts on it a while ago but really haven't heard anything about it.
I was wondering that myself, but your question got me looking. So I found this, and the answer is no to the FM Radio on the AT&T version, but the international version has the FM radio included. LTE might not coexist well with the Exynos chipset or FM radio ...dunno just a guess. Well let see......FM radio.....LTE.............LTE!

Nope, our good friends at AT&T decided to disable it at the hardware level.
So the radio is there, but apparently can't be accessed. And we suckers buy it anyway...people don't believe it when I say that the US is one of the least free mobile environments in the world, but time after time, it's clear the US consumer gets reamed.
Occupy AT&T anyone?
After a few hours on the phone with samsung customer service I have found out that the hardware is there and connected and that the "team" at Samsung may or may not be developing an app for it. Also they are not ready to release the information on the receiver to third party developers because the may or may no be working on an application for this in the first update.( also according to one person I had spoken to this update might come at the 4 week mark and might include s choice) I don't know how reliable any of this actually is but they its from Samsung them selves so. Hope this helps.
Hi guys,3 days ago i got my TS and saddly i noticed that signal was weak.The thing is that outside i had 3 bars and in my house nothing..The most annoying though is that it does a long time to search for a signal,after it loses it
I took the TS to a mobile service center the opened it up and said tha the wires were all good but the signal adapter was really poor..
So the only way now is to send it back,but my fear is that i ll get it in two months and it wont be any better,sooo now i dont want to send it(maybe after September)
Beacause i can see there are many people having this issue,is there a way to boost our signal,i tried an app that seemed to work but only when i had signal...
thanks for the help
What ever you do, don't tell Omate it was ever looked at. They barely honor warranties for unopened devices, much less one that was opened and with a factory defect.

i think they will see that is opened,when i got it,it had stickers in the screws
is there a chance to fix that problem if i install the rom and the 2100mhz again?
Hi. I had this issue for a long time now, I tried a lot of things but I stuck and I don't know what to do. I bought a Lenovo P780 in February, ROW version (if I remember ROW123 4GB), imei starts with 860. I installed a custom rom (I checked and it is for this ROW) and it worked fine. One day in May I noticed that I got no signal. Then it came back. Than it went away. It is still the problem of course.
I never dropped nor flooded the phone. I tried installing other GSM modems as people on forums suggested, I tried a lot but none of them worked. I was angry so I took it apart, and saw that the outer shell of the antenna cable was damaged, so I ordered a new one, but it didn't help. I checked the whole PCB under a magnifying glass so maybe I would find any sign of damage so then I can replace the faulty component (I have access to do that), but I found nothing.
I tried it with different SIM cards. Then I found out, that in the Settings menu in the about phone section you can see the exact signal strength (it usually says 0dBm 99 asu which is absurd). You can only access it when you have a SIM card in the device but when you are in, you can take it out and you can still see the signal strength. It sometimes finds signal, but it is very rare.
What should I do? I have no money to replace the motherboard, and of course I have no warranty. Is there a chance that my problem is software-based, or it is surely hardware stuff? What can I do?
Buy a different brand phone
My suggestion is to get rid off that phone as it is and change towards buying anything but Lenovo, sell this one and buy any other brand.
If you stick to chinese buy Huawei or One Plus One etc.
Good luck1

Yes, I did that. I discovered that the CPU's soldering was faulty. I guess the BGA couldn't stand the heat. I sold the parts and bought a Huawei.
