AA Navigator and XDA 2i - General Accessories

Hi
Does anyone use AA Navigator, bluetooth gps and a XDA 2i? If so do you know if there is a hidden program running in the background, even when software is not being used. Since installing this software, which works fine by the way, my battery life is taking a serious hit.
Thanks

sorry can't help
but just a question is this the "the aa's new navigation system
what is it like any good .any better than tomtom is what i'm asking really
thanks

Hi
It seems ok. I have not used Tom Tom so I can't compare.

your battery will take a serious hit anyway as satnav programs do use a lot of power as for being close to tomtom its ok but very basic compared to tomtom

Battery
It's almost certainly bluetooth that's draining your battery - try switching it off when you're not using satnav

lose 70% charge in 1 day!

hi
i have no prolem with my p3300 until 4 days ago!!! suddenly my device use 70% of battry in 1 day! i try soft reset, but not solved! also cpu goes to 36santi grad! but no process in task manager.also i try airscanner antivirus! and no virus ...
i use artemis tuch 3
please help me
Hi,
I am having similar problems since I installed Black and Blue 4.3.
Phone appears to discharge twice as fast. However, sometimes a soft reset seems to increase the battery again!!
I am going to try a hard reset to see if that fixes it. I have also ordered a new battery.
Anybody else had this and more importantly did you find a solution.
Regards
same here on orbit.all started 1 week ago.the phone is 8 months old.I can't believe the battery is gone so fast.
same here
same here battery life is crap
even with obly a few calls
whats up? is it the rom?
Okay,
A number of us with the same problem.
Can you all confirm what model you have and what ROM you are running. Also any new apps you have installed at the start of the battery drain. I will kick off
T-Mobile MDA Compact UK model.
Tom Condon's Black and Blue 4.3 ROM.
Only new software is AC S2U2 latest version.
Regards
htc p3300
artemis touch 3.0
no new software
bluetooth and wi-fi is off
no program running in task manager
but when i put my device near headset,i can hear some sound like TEGH TEGH!!!! every 1~3 sec.
i know it will solve by install new rom,but i want to find main problem. today i turn on then turn off my all units(bluetooth,wi-fi,camera ...) i must stay and see what will happend
Yeah thats the reason why i sell my Artemis, battery life is just crap. I call allot for work and use my phone allot, my battery is good for just one day . So byebye artemis and welcome HTC Touch .
I had these problems to..
Who I fixed it: I flashed original t-mobile ROM. Finished the install EXT-rom..
Did a hard reset, 2 soft buttons + reset, then green ring button..
Installed the USPL then HTC WM6 ROM, before ext-rom installation a reset. Then did a radio rom update, to latest version.
I can go up to 3 days without needing to recharge with GPRS @ 30 minutes sync..
Hello,same horrible problem.After 4-5 days the upgrade to B&B 4.1 with flo3the power of battery go down very very fast and a working day is impossible.When i bought the Artemis the first thing thats wondering me was the working life, but now...
I kill all task in background,set to maximum power saving, without effect.
Don't want to think that the best solution is to come back at wm6 standard.
P3300
WM6 5.2.1620
B&B 4.1
Flo3
SDHC support with 4GB card
DualSim 15th generation
I recently read a thread - either here or at ppc-welt.de - where some people found out that the gsm unit consumes a lot more power when you have a cooked ROM. When they put their Artemis next to some speakers the got that strange buzzing noise that you usually get when someone calls or you receive a message.
That sound in the speakers was there a lot more often than usually, when they switched back to the official ROMs the problem disappered. If I can find it again I will post a link. I haven't had any problems with my battery yet using Touch 2.1 WWE, only after a fresh upgrade pdas seem to consume a lot more power for a few days and get back to normal then.

what a pity because installing betterystatus (or configuring it properly if you had it already) would probably solve all that problems.
most (if not ALL) roms come with batterystatus... and sometimes it seems to misconfigure itself and overclock your CPU very much, which ofc leads to fast battery discharge. configure batterystatus to 201mhz and problem solved (or even lower if you dont need uber speed mobile, but loads of battery)
my p3300 battery lasts 2-3 days, doing some calls, using bluetooth for sync, listening to some mp3 while in the underground and using tomtom to find a street 15 minutes. nearly 4 days if totally on standby
Hi,
I have reinstalled my phone using the T-Mobile ROM.
I will let you know if that sorts the battery problems.
Regards
I had this problem after installing the htc official rom. I installed back the touch rom from the forum and everything is ok now. Tha battery last me again 4 days with mixed regular use.
Hi,
Tried the T-Mobile ROM and whilst under general use the battery drain is slightly reduced as soon as I ran Tom Tom it dropped by about 30% in 20 minutes. When I first got the device I could run Tom Tom for about 4hours before the battery died.
I have ordered a new battery so will see how that goes.
It is a bit frustrating not being able to pinpoint the problem.
Regards
my mobile service provider found problem with their GPRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just install this software and disable GPRS
just 23% battery used in 20hour!
but i dont have any program that automaticly connect to internet! and also always i keep my quickGPS up to date by active sync ....
please test this and DISABLE your GPRS and see what happend!! is it our problem or another ... ?
Hi,
Disabling your GPRS may fix the problem but it should not affect the battery this way.
I have just put in a new battery and it is charging just now.
Will update how the battery drain is with the new battery.
Regards
Hi,
Did a quick test running Tom Tom and battery usage is back to normal with the new battery fitted. Obviously the old battery was on the way out.
Regards

who know how much temperature affect on battry life ?
it seems when i put my device in a hot place,3.5 day working decrease to just 2 day!

Does this have gps lag like the touch pro?

Does this TP2 have the same annoying lag when using gps? Where you're about 3-5seconds ahead of where the map says you are?
Example: You pass under a bridge in real life. In TomTom the location of you passes under the bridge like 3-5 seconds later.
Edit: same here
I have the same question, too.
It's not have to be Tomtom but any GPS guidance application such as Garmin, iGo, and Navigon, etc... On Touch Pro (aka FUZE) I've been experienced not only the position lag as mentioned in the first post but also the speed lag; for example, when you stop, the device takes about 2 seconds to display 0 km/h (or 0 mph.)

Hi the Rhodium is much better than the Raphael, however still takes a little tweaking on stock Rom to be spot on with TT.
There are also tweaks that can be applied for the Raphael to improve the lag and latency.
Cheers,
Beasty
How can I stop the GPS receiver from being switched off when pressing power-button ?
- for tracklog-writing while in pocket ?
Thanks
I've tried both Igo8 and TT7.910 on the TP2 and there's virtually no lag - it's certainly more than adequate for use as a day-to-day satnav
I'm using a Verizon Touch Pro2
Having terrible lag on TomTom
No lag problems with Google Maps or Bing.
TP2 lags on both Tomtom and IGO8, very annoying, tried garmin but that is worse. hopefully it will be sorted by some sort of rom upgrade or by tomtom.
I have no lag problem at all on my TP2 with both TomTom 7 and Igo8 - very happy with the performance of both.
I installed Copilot Live 8 and it works great, only time i see any lag is when the phone checks email or i get an incoming call.

How long will the battery last with GPS use?

Has anyone tested how long the battery lasts when using GPS?

I can't imagine any reason to just run the GPS.. What context? Car navigation? GPS Tracking? What?
The Tilt used about 120mA just for the GPS, I suspect the TP2 would be very close to that.
As a handheld GPS for walking.
I use a program called Memory Map which has terrain maps and plots routes, waypoints etc.
The GPS would need to be on all the time, but the screen could be off and just turned on when I need to glance at the route/map
I used to get just under 2 hours from my Diamond and about 2 1/2 hours from my m700 - so I had to carry some external batteries

For thst sort of usage, I'd honestly suggest getting a bluetooth GPS unit. Does MUCH better under cover (trees, urban 'trees', etc) and takes a huge load off of the device.
I've gone on 3-4 hour hikes using TrackMe, which sounds like a similar program, and was only down 20% on battery. That'd get me WAY more battery life than my legs had in 'em.
Good luck, I'll check out Memory Map. I'm a geogeek, I collect all sorts of GPS related software.

I have a question regarding GPS. Once you've started using GPS, do you have to manually turn it off (like WiFi or BlueTooth) or does it cycle off automatically?

Wouldn't bluetooth communication also drain the power?
Which would be worse - the BT or the GPS working?
TP2 GPS battery usage
My TP2 lasted 2.5 hours using Memory-Map in full mapping mode, where I had to plot map I created on PC.

erm... Perhaps not you, but I answered this very question somewhere else already.. anyway...
Bluetooth is very low power. And obviously if I'm saying the GPS uses hordes of power and to use a Bluetooth device because of power, the internal GPS is worse (much worse). How much worse? Same workload, same software, BT vs internal GPS on the Kaiser (same GPS as TP2) was a difference of 100mAh. 8.3% more battery drain per hour.
Bluetooth GPS also has other advantages...
Faster fix
More accurate
More sensitive
More options (in terms of which GPS you get and what features IT has)
Disadvantages
One more small thing to carry around
In terms of features, I keep saying I'm going to upgrade my BT GPS to the Columbus V900 (or other like models). It'll act like a normal BT GPS, or self-logger to a memory card, even a 'stealth' mode which logs a point every N minutes which you could effectively let run for a week without running out of battery and years before filling a 1G memory card.. Also you can attach voice notes to a coordinate, or 'mark' a spot with a button push, both of which you could refer to later by viewing the resulting data in Google Earth or other means.

Bluetooth PBAP process runaway - major battery drain

Appears that the Bluetooth PBAP process is running away when paired with my car's head unit. It was running for the duration of my drive (51 minutes) and drained about 40% of my battery. I've verified this on several drives now. Killing the process (after pairing) corrects the problem, and there doesn't seem to be any side effects.
Anyone else experiencing this (tried multiple ROMs all with same behavior, leading me to believe it is a Samsung Bluetooth stack issue)
I'm a big Bluetooth fanboy! I use the BlueAnt G2 like all the time. I have noticed on all the roms I flashed, I get HORRIBLE battery life, even though everybody boasting how good their battery life is.. I just couldn't understand it, so I aways go back to my backed up stock. I seem to get tremendous battery life on my stock rom (that came with my sgs2 from T-Mobile).. This would explain it!
I even experience this issue on downloadable tweaked stock roms you can find here. Nothing compares to my battery life when I restore my backed up rooted stock rom.
Interesting find!

That's interesting to hear. I've been attempting to troubleshoot the issue further, and I think that Samsungs bluetooth implementation is a bit wonky. I noticed their MAP (Message Access Profile [sms over bt]) is not working right, and that the PBAB responses are off a bit causing the host to attempt OBEX x-fers over and over again. Interesting that your experience with stock roms proves otherwise. Perhaps it's a kernel thing, but I think the BT stack is binary straight from Samsung.
(Take all this with a grain of salt, I'm by far an expert, and am probably talking out my @ss )
I'm going to give stock a try. 51 minute drive, 100% started, 62% ended - awful indeed
SIDE NOTE: I recognize you and your (wifes) picture... what other nicks do you go by? I've seen you somewhere before.

I can confirm that the Samsung BT stack from a stock phone has BT PBAB problems. I've not looked at the battery drain because there's a much more obvious one whenever trying to pair the phone to a BMW bluetooth system. Once connected the car system cannot download the phone's phonebook without first killing the PBAB process first. If you Google for BMW and PBAB you'll be able to read about lots of folks having this problem including this thread, and the only solution is to kill the PBAB process.
Funny enough there isn't a similar issue when connecting to a Toyota bluetooth system. The Toyota BT does support the stereo profile allowing the phone to play music over BT, while the BMW system does not.
Good Luck..
Hey, thanks for the feedback, and other forum link. I'm going to do some extensive testing with mine and try freezing selected BT services to see just what happens. I've done the kill PBAB service and that seems to stop the VERY rapid battery drain.
I can usually tell it's gone awry when the phone starts heating up. (It's in a holster on my belt, and I can feel the heat start, reminding me to go kill the pbab service)
I hadn't though of freezing it (or renaming it) as I figured it was required for the phone book to x-fer. We'll see how it works out.
Can anyone confirm that MAP (Message Access Profile) works anywhere with this phone? (SMS over bluetooth)
More to come.

Hmm..im going to test this out too. I run pandora when im in the car and sync my car to my bluetooth fm receiver..i ll attach screens on how i ll control the proccess using llma.

I've had similar experience in my Acura, albeit I reckon my situation is worse.
If pbap is running, the phone will NOT connect to the car's bluetooth. Moreover if I try to kill pbap after getting in the car, the phone (and the car) go wonky and both bluetooth systems hang until reset. The only way it works if I kill pbap before getting in the car, which sucks as it tends to start itself every time bluetooth is started.
I'm searching for a way to kill it PERMANENTLY. Any suggestions?
You can freeze the PBAB in Titanium (pro) or rename it (if you have root) - also causing a lot of problems with BMW/Nissan/Toyota and others is the BluetoothSharing process.

Samsung S II Batery Drain Related to Bluetooth
After weeks of troubleshooting this issue, I discovered that my high battery drain was caused by uninstalling the Toyota Entune application on my Android. After reinstalling Entune from the Google Play Market my phone my high CPU utilization and corresponding battery drain completely stopped and my phone works as expected. Perhaps corruption from the install/uninstall of phone to car software is causing Bluetooth corruption:good:.

[Q] App or Rom for GPS

I have been having problems with gps and my nexus. It seems like whenever the phone sleeps the gps either turns off or reduces power. I'm wondering if there is a way either with an app or with a different ROM that I can prevent this from happening. Is there maybe a ROM that's better for GPS? Right now I'm running AOKP build 32 with the included Kernal. This issue is absolutely driving me crazy. I run or hike nearly everyday and I need a way to track my workouts without having to carry a stand alone gps unit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Google navigation is one of the best GPS services I've ever used

Thanks but I'm not having a problem with Google nav. The problem is the phone killing or slowing down the GPS. Google nav is no help for tracking long runs or hikes.

It worked just fine when I used it with a Motorola Milestone, even with screen off, never tried it with Galaxy Nexus...
