Hi,
I am thinking to buy a htc p3300, but i am unsure if the GPS will work without data connection.
It works fine without a network signal. you would only need network access if using downloadable mapping or the aGPS updates (which are not necessary IMHO) - Mike

Hello, I am using B&B4 Rom on my P3300, but as I connect to Orange's network, I would like to benefit from the free AGPS functionnality. I searched the hole internet for a cab file to install it, but haven't found one. How can I install it ?
Thanks

Please, put the cab here, for other.
Thanks in advance !
Orange parameters for AGPS
execute this cab on your PDA will set up parameters for orange conections (GPRS)
bests regards

AGPS isnt GPRS is it? I thought AGPS was something with GPS, so that the GPS position also gets a fix from the UMTS network (each transmitterpole has its own coordinates).
Since the artemis has no UMTS, i thougth u cannot have AGPS.
or do u mean something different? I can easily be wrong, so sorry by advance if i am talking jibberisch.
how use AGPS
With AGPS you get the same data (ephémérides) than with QuickeGPS, but "in live" using GRPS conection, so you get fix much easylier. If you read french you have all explainations here : http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/articles.asp?id=215.
you nead to have a GPRS Subscription and set up a conection GPRS on your artemis.
AGPS is more accurate than quickgps, because it is intended at beeing updated "live", the approximation of satellites' positions is very precise, whereas the information given by quickgps lasts 3 days, it's a rougher approximation.
Orange France provides free access to AGPS service hosted on its servers. A GPRS connection will be established, but this connection is free.
On SPV M650 devices, the AGPS program automatically starts just before your GPS software (Tomtom or other) when launched.
I bought a P3300 HTC device, but am an Orange client, and would like to benefit from this service. It seems AGPS is installed by the Kulbut0r's patch, but if I patch my phone with it, my GPS won't work because it's not a M650... Does a cab file exist with only the AGPS installation, not the M650 GPS fix ?

Ok thanks, i was under the impression it was something different. Thanks for your explanation. Shame that i am at vodafone, so probably i cannot have it.
AGPS with BB4 ROM
I have flashed my SPVM650 with the B&B4 ROM and after this the AGPS is existing and activated, and the QuickGPS is installed to.
I have no GPRS subscription so i had to disactivate the AGPS by changing the wright Key in windows registry.
If you want to use AGPS you have to get a GRPS fixed price subscription (downloads for AGPS are free) and set up a GPRS connection on your PDA (use my cab for this).

HTC has set up A-GPS especially for the M650 which are branded with an updated firmware version...
you'll have to install it on your P3300 for taking advantage of A-GPS...
firmware has been posted sometimes ago already on these boards...

it doesnt mean it's fully operational !
currently working on it... hope I could release an updated "yet an another quick and dirty fix" !
Quick GPS operational on SPV M650 running B&B 4 ?
Kulbutor, do you Know if the Quick GPS is operational on my SPV M650 where i have installed the B&B4 ?. It's seems to be but i am not sure.
imho, the updated firmware for GPS on M650 doesn't take advantage of downloaded ephemeris... so that running QuickGPS would be useless...
Am currently using an HTC Trophy and location based services are not working. Maps won't locate me - just perpetually displays "Searching ..." - and no other app can make use of GPS.
The available settings aren't especially granular in WP7 and I don't see any options besides having GPS ON or OFF. Toggling this setting has no effect.
Any ideas?!
Thanks!
UPDATE: It's the o2 SIM. Swapped out SIM with Vodafone and Orange SIMs and GPS works both on those two networks. I don't understand as the same o2 SIM does GPS just fine in an HD2 and an HD Mini.

The only time I've been unable to get a fix is when I'm not using a SIM card. So it could be that you're required to have a working data connection as well?
Yeah, that's one thing you might think. But data connection is fine. GPS doesn't work when there's a 3G data or Wi-fi connection present either ... which makes me think it might be hardware ...
Hi! i'm using XDANDROID 2.2.1 with the latest update. the unknown problem that I discovered is that it whon't connect to data network. The network operator said that i dont need settings for the data connection but if the phone insists then i should use APN = ppinternet. tried bouth but didn't work! what shoul i do?!
Can you provide more info? Like, what build you're actually using? (Saying you're using "the newest" doesn't mean anything).
Also, what network operator are you on? You can make/receive phone calls/text messages?
Have you ever been able to use data on Android? Does your provider require a proxy?
this ([prj][XDANDROID][2.2.1][AOSP][24.01.11]FRX04 MINOR UPDATE. IMPROVED 3D performance)
my network operator is Digi mobil prepayd Romania. yes! i can make and receive sms/calls. no, i wasnt able never to make a data connection with my carrier.(in WM works). No, my provider works without o proxy. in fact, it works without any settings @ all. Im WM the only thing i imput for my connection to work is the connection name. the rest i leave them empty.
Try going into settings->wireless & network settings->mobile network settings->access point names->then add new apn. Set the name to Android and apn to Internet.
tried! wont work!

...what about it didn't work...?
SOLVED! It seemd that all was fine EXEPT the RECEPTION!!! It seems that XDANDROID is'nt so good in connecting me to the network in places where WM6.1 ENERGY is!!! hope the AOSP team will get this note!
Well AOSP= Android Open Source Project so just google made the aosp and maybe the settings are wrong, for me everything is fine, and still in romania. Using latest build.

SoD's definitely are related to poor service - it seems even worse when the phone is flipping between 3g and 1x or EDGE.
If this is a problem, run WinMo - as you said, it works fine in WinMo as our current RIL is atrocious. It's being worked on, but again - this is a work in progress, still under heavy development.
Hello i newly bought a HTC One V .
And a can not share my location in Viber or Whatsapp!
How can i fix it ?

Well you are on wifi so it cannot use network location
Since it also cannot get GPS location - get outside where you have a GPS signal
Actually WiFi is completely capable of supplying network location. Your IP traces straight to your address. I have 2 phones that don't have service and function as WiFi phones and they can use gps apps just fine without using internal gps. I would suggest just taking the device back and get a replacement.
Try this app to test out WiFi network location: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5zdGFpcmNhc2UzLm9wZW5zaWduYWwiXQ..

thanks didn't know that
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
So I'll be in Japan until mid April, and I temporarily discontinued my cell plan. I'm just curious if anyone knows of a way to use the GPS without having any network support what so ever? I mainly use it for an application that tracks the distance and pace that I run, but turn by turn would be nice to have as well. Any help would be wonderful!!
Depends on if the app you have uses a local or network map.. i know with google maps (and maybe google navigation) you can dl map data for use while off network. GPS data is separate afaik (meaning pulling the times from the gps sats to get your location) so that should still work.
Assimilated using the interface that interacts with the advanced internet.

Thanks for the reply. i'm pretty sure i'm out of luck here, Google maps thinks i'm in Hawaii and the wifi I connect to has a mean firewall and I can't get on half the websites I can back home (stupid government). I suppose I can live without GPS. .

With the Optimus S i had no data connection whatsoever but still manage to get GPS. I used maps to pre-cache the place i wanted to go. It worked well. Just have GPS satellites on under settings.
Try navfee
