I found some info about the TP2 and the TD2 that's confusing.
On htc's specification page of the TP2 and the TD2 it says that GPS is: Internal GPS antenna.
On Gsmarena.com it says:
TP2 GPS = Yes
TD2 GPS = Yes, with A-GPS support
Which gps device will the TP2 and TD2 have?
I've heard that some have had problems with the A-gps dropping satsync and that disabling the "A" solved this.
I previously had a Xperia which I got refunded because of the constant cracking backside.
The Xperia (A-gps) had a gps lag that wasn't fun at all.
When I compared the Xperia to my Mio P550 the xperia had a lag of roughly 30meters while the P550 had <5meters.
The P550 does not have an A-gps.
Which is better to have? Gps or A-gps?
Though it's not on the official sight, I could have sworn I saw somewhere it was AGPS. My understanding is that AGPS > GPS because it's using cell towers to assist it when satilite signal is low like in buildings and downtown areas.

Htc lists the original touch diamond gps as a-gps, But on the original touch pro it's listed as Internal GPS antenna.
Is it only a typo? or do the original TD and TP have different gps devices installed?
As far as I remember AGPS is Assisted GPS that should start quicker as it is being assisted by phone network it self - it will know qucker the position you are in

You are absolutely right about how the Agps works, but I already knew that
The question is wether the TD2 and TP2 are going to be equipped with Agps or not.
I remember the discussions when the mogul came out. The specs said the chips had agps in them. When ever the topic came up about if sprint would expose it to programs or if it could be hacked someone would come in and say,in their obnoxious condescending tone "The mogul **ONLY** has agps,not real gps so the answer to your question is the same as the last 100 times it was asked,NEVER!!!!"
Then sprint activated GPS for us.
AGPS is a superset of GPS btw,it has everything that a vanilla GPS chip has plus the ability to get information from the towers as well. So GPS is defiantly "better". As far as I know all the qualcomm chipsets have agps.

I had a Xperia that has the same qualcomm chip. It had a gps lag that was very annoying. HTC have used different ways of writing gps or agps in their specs on phones that have the qualcomm chip. That's why I asked this Q in the first place. But I don't think the gpslag is hardware related, it's more an issue of poor gps drivers.
As far as I know one can disable Assisted GPS in the register. You then keep GPS ...... so why should a phone with AGPS be worse then one with GPS. Again i believe when you disable the assisted part you keep the GPS
http://mobilitysite.com/2008/02/assisted-gps-2/
So in theory an AGPS system could be better. The only problem is that some software does not like the assisted part. I did disable ASSISTED gps in my registry and use the normal GPS with satisfaction in my Tytn 2.

will the touch pro be like the iphone, where you can go into maps and it will be of no additional cost other than the data plan, or will you have to subscribe to a gps data plan? anyone know or think they know?

He probably was referring to some sort of maps/directions database subscription. I can't think of the name of any of them right now, but it's pretty common to get charged $10+ a month for stuff like that.
I assume the TP2's will work with Google Maps and you won't be required to subscribe to any database to get decent use out of the positional information the antenna provides.

Hi guys,
Previous Kaiser owner here upgraded to Rhodium recently.
I'm asking HTC the same question as well, does Rhodium support AGPS or not. I'm quite sure it does - though I don't have a answer from them yet.
Check this link out from HTC support site - http://www.htc.com/sea/faqs.aspx?p_id=250&cat=266&id=92408
The touch pro 2 has agps but it disabled by default you have to enable it using advanced config 3.3 then it works very well cutting time to sync from 60 seconds to 15 seconds when opening google maps.

Why is it that you need a gps reciever to use with an XDA/XDA II? Is AGPS (AGPS triangulates position from the towers) not available for GSM?
There are 2 resons for not wanting to rely on gsm network tower info:
1. The info (cell broadcast) is not sent with every network
2. Its not close that precise as true gps
There is a swiss site that has made an application that uses network info for positioning.
Cant remember the name though
Some infos...
AGPS is called asissted gps, which means the GPS receiver ( which is still a piece of hardware, which is not included in current phones ) uses GSM location information to find it's poistion, this makes the GPS receiver "lighter" and faster.
This service will cost money, as the provider will not give the information for free.
GSM location info based on triangulation is something different, and indeed not very reliable.
Alex
Thanks
I was just curious. If you can remember the name of the swiss site that would be fantastic. I have the sense of direction similar to a cockroach with no head, so if it were to be accurate within 1/2 mile, that would be good enough for me. I don't need it soo bad that I have to buy a GPS, but if it were available by just installing some software, well that would be a different story. Anyway, thanks soo much again!

Hi everyone
I'm new and a bit lost and overwhelmed being new to android.
I recently bought a Malata Zpad T6 with GPS and 3G running a Malata ROM of 2.2.
I'm having a few issues with the GPS. It works. I've used the GPS status app which picks up loads of satellites but Google maps is way off. (I live in northern Ireland and it shows my location as somewhere in the north sea.)
When I press the locate button with GPS module off/on Google maps says my location is unavailable.
Could someone give me some help please? Or guidance to sources that will help me.
I have a Orange UK sim in the pad so I'd like to use AGPS. Can I manually configure this? I'd read about the GPS.config file. Does anyone know if this can be manually set up?
Finally, sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. I've been searching xda for days trying to find a solution.

So Aaron McCarthy discovered a new Vogue rom for Telus users (I REPEAT: TELUS ONLY!!!). It was at one of the known IP addresses which HTC has used. It was accidentally leaked or opened for a tester, I suppose. It's also seemingly no longer available... I get "Directory Listing Denied" when I follow the link now. So, of course I've uploaded my copy to rapidshare. Back up any important files on your phone and then enjoy:
http://rapidshare.com/files/1282900...4350H_3.41.00_Ship_withPPSTPatch1.20.exe.html
It'll be easy to install, just run the EXE on your windows XP/Vista computer, connect your vogue with Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center when the program prompts you to do so, and follow the on-screen instructions. It took me approximately 15 minutes to do this. Add five for letting the phone customize itself.
I also did some messing with it to get everything working. It does not fully function out of box (which is probably why it's not actually released yet).
For me, the steps that got the GPS and Internet to work:
-Dial *22803 , 1 (for English), 1 (program your handset). Wait for reset.
-Install Google Maps and a registry editor.
-Search for a registry key called GPSMODE and change it's dword value from 2 to 4. This may not be necessary, but it worked for me.
<EDIT>Registry change is definitely not necessary, I've tried it both ways with no different effect. What this setting does might be explained better in the next post.</EDIT>
-Soft reset.
-Run Google Maps and any other freeware, no problem.
I'm certain that some GPS programs will require initialization/tweaks, and I'd bet that most of those have already been examined elsewhere in this forum. Anyway the GPS is seemingly solid and accurate. I placed it next to a handheld garmin unit and speed, lattitude,longitude were matched on both devices over a half-hour trip. It will certainly NOT work indoors.
As for Rev.A, I honestly cannot tell you anything about it. I'm in a CDMA only area for the next 3 weeks.
Thanks again to Aaron McCarthy for discovering the Rom and letting us know so that I could copy it before we got locked out. Here's the thread he started : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2385096
by setting GPSMode to 4 you disable the GPS. Not the best idea....
GPSMode 1 = ONLY pure GPS
GPSMode 2 = GPS + aGPS
GPSMode 4 = aGPS only
Got it installed without any issues. However Google maps and the Telus Navigator programs don't seem to be able to find the GPS... Well, to be more precise, googlemaps doesn't give an error. It just sits there seeking satellites. The Telus NAV doesn't get past the startup screen. Any suggestions?
WM6.1 is working fine on my phone but is it possible that I actually don't have the built in GPS even though it is a Telus HTC Touch?

It has been known since a while that all Vogues phones (or CDMA Touch) have the GPS hardware built in. It is just not activated by Telus yet.

Thanks for this ROM. Can't be more easy to upgrade a ROM.
GPS is working fine. It took several try and a very clear sky (no tree) to make first connexion. It was so slow to connect that I suspect AGPS (cellular tower triangulation assist) is not working.
At 3 bars of reception, in EVDO REV A zone, I get a DL speed of 150 to 400kb/s which is pretty lame and just a bit better than before rev A.
One problem:
When clicking on status icons on the top bar (volume, battery, etc.), it used to display the control directly. Now it displays an intermediate screen repeating those icons but in a larger mode. It is buggy because it doesn't display message icons if I previously clicked Dismiss. Then I can't go to my messages.
In Start, Settings, System, TouchFLO, there is no setting to remove this screen.
I tried HKLM->Software->HTC->EnlargeTitleBar->Enable=0 without success.
Is it something that comes with WM6.1?
Is it Telus ROM specific?
Do Sprint official ROM got the same problem?
Any reg to remove this?
That is too funny

From initally loading the rom I went from getting 4-5 locks maybe after a few minutes on a cold GPS start then once I changed all the settings and did a soft reset I was getting 6 to 7 satellite locks down in my basement. Pretty impressive
It's not as complicated as it seems to be in the post I made. Pretty straight forward actually and I would recommend it to anyone who wants better GPS reception
In regards to Rev A speeds. I'm in London ontario so would think there would be rev A in the area but I dont get any better download speeds. I still download around 600-800 kbps. Which is really good enough for me. I dont know if rev A actually was supposed to increase your download speed or if it improved upload speeds making Voip easier and allowing you to have data and phone stuff going on at the same time. All I know is my internet speed didnt change but Rev A was enabled.

Every time, before using this, an already established data connexion is needed BEFORE looking for GPS satellite. The GPS will not establish the connection if it's not there. A simple solution is to open Google map and move the map up to a download is required BEFORE making the GPS satellite connexion.

Yep - and it appears to be identical to the one referenced in this thread from 3 weeks ago. That's kind of a disappointment considering how much trouble the tech-naive user is going to have getting the gps to work and getting their data connection back after flashing.

2 weeks ago I sent a support ticket to HTC stating that the GPS fix is difficult to get, mainly because all GPS assisted features (aGPS) are disabled by default in the radio (can't be fixed by a simple registry tweak). I even pointed them to one solution of many (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406320&page=2 post #14). Then no correction and not even a mention in the documentation.
I just can't imagine how many phone calls they will get from upgraders complaining that the GPS can't find satellites after 5 minutes...
i use google maps a lot. In my previous device (Touch HD), using same SIM, I can find my location without GPS on, but generally, on the TP2 I cannot find my location without using GPS. I am on TMOB.
Anyone have a solution?
You got location fixes without GPS? As far as I know you have to have SOME form of GPS (be it GPS, aGPS, or quickGPS) to get a geographical position...

This fix definatly works on my phone, I have analysed the debug logs and the NMEA logs and can see the data being downloaded and injected into the driver.
I now get a cold GPS fix in less than 20 seconds, whereas with AGPS turned off I could be waiting for 5 minutes or more for a cold fix.
To see if it is working on your Phone, first you should see a GPRS data connection established then using the HTC GPS test tool to examine the NMEA data you should see a $GPCELL entry after a few seconds.
Hope this helps.

hey Tom, something you might find of interest,
I had already set up my agps as you have said above with nokis.supl and my agps was workin great, after reading your post i changed the Reg setting for Ril/driver to 1 and SR ( mine was set to 5) as you suggested. and although i was still recieveing the NMEA info, i couldn't get a lock, changed it back to 5 and Lock from cold in 15 seconds!!
I don't know what the decimal 5 instructs and possibly its radio related? i am still using stock 3.44.25.25.27
Anyway great post
Frogfoot, how does the performance with A-GPS enabled compare to the performance with it disabled? How sure are you a) that A-GPS actually is enabled, and b) that it is A-GPS that is making the difference? I ask, because I can get a lock in 10 or 15 seconds with A-GPS turned off. Simply installing the GPS patch did that for me!

I have found that I get a much faster lock when 'cold starting' the GPS, ie after the ephemeris data has expired (if you havent used the GPS for say a week) or you have changed location by say 50 miles since you last used GPS. Without aGPS a cold start would take several minutes, however with aGPS working it takes a matter of seconds. (there is no difference in a 'warm' or 'hot' start scenario).

I installed the debug tools and could see the procedure calls reading the registry entries, opening the GPRS connection downloading the data etc. And I also used the HTC GPS tool to log the NMEA stream and searched through to find the response from the supl.nokia.com server in a string marked $GPCELL

I expect that what you are seeing is what is known as a 'warm start' where the GPS chipset has cached the Almanac and ephemeris data for the last known position and uses that to jump start the connection. That is fine untill you go for a long drive/flight with the GPS off and then it assumes you at the old location or there abouts. This can cause the GPS to think that the wrong satalites are overhead and therefore take longer to lock on. The other scenario which benifits from agps is if you dont use the GPS for a while, the cached Almanac and ephemeris data expires and needs to be downloaded again. This is what causes the long TTFF (time to first fix)
Quick GPS as far as I can gather is supposed to download predicted almanac and ephemeris data for your region and inject that into the GPS driver to facilitate a faster TTFF however I have yet to notice any difference when QuickGPS is up to date as opposed to it having expired data.
Hope this clears it up a bit.
Cheers

What problem is this patch supposed to address? Slow/intermittent GPS lock, Lag, or some other problem?
As far as I can see it is simply an animated GIF set to display during boot and changing some registry entries relating to the GPS intermediate driver and increasing the file system cache.

the reason i added the gps is that the stupid microsoft visual studio wont allow to build cab files with out a file in it.
it indeed adjust a couple of registry settings but if you do it in the way it is writen above you get a gps fix,
It is for the
lag problem, getting no gps signal in any way.
i even get gps in house now
greats antonius

Do you know if T-Mobile TP2s need the new radio driver, or is the included radio up-to-date?

if yours works out of the box, don't patch it.
mine is Tmo TP2 and get almost instant sat lock, so I am not going to patch mine for now.
That's the radio version I have. What does the cab file do? Does it automatically change the registry settings for the GPS Intermediate driver? If so, I have made those changes and I still get GPS lag.
gps lag
i work at a auto repair shop and on occasion i get the oppurtunity to drive a customers car that has a dedicated gps. what i have noticed is that the lag time with those dedicated units and my old touch diamond and touch pro is that the lag time is about the same. i have not tested it with my current phone (tp2)just yet but it seems about the same maybe a little faster. imho i think it has something to do with the lag time with the gps signal having to travel so far. if we think about it, the signal has to travel out into space and then back down. things no matter how fast are not instantaneous.
btw i love this phone. i just typed all this on my tp2! great keyboard.
just my two cents
GPS is another reason I miss my HTC Dream. It was fast and worked indoors. SO far, I see no improvement with this radio and .cab. Of course, I already had an alleged GPS fix with a different radio (3.44.25.27 +A-GPS hot fix). I will test outside now. So far nothing indoors. update: well... it does seem to pick up faster outside now. good fix! not great but a bit better than before. good find!
This Fix works great in my TP2...
Question: Installed but my free program down 6MB..? BTW I'm using Miri V 1.1 Manila 2.5
Edit: My Garmin 5.00.20w works better than my TyTNII... It locks inside my house within 5 second.. More amazing in my bed room which I never get any GPS signal... Antonius .. Genius...

Sadly, mine's not working un-patched. TeleNav and Google Maps both are having a hard time getting satelite locks, indoors and out, moving and stationary
