quick GPS question

Does anyone know why when quick gps expires, it doesnt automatically update? I am on a custom ROM (mightyrom 2/1) on a CDMA Tp2 (SPRINT). the quick GPS data expires and says EXPIRED but is never automatically updated until I manually do an update. I have it set to automatically update. is there a service or something that needs to be running??

Expired means the 7 days are up that the satellite positioning was good for. It should download new positions which will then say 7 days...
Seems to work fine when I use wireless or when I update synced to my PC...

Thanks.. I know what expired means on QUICK GPS. the issue is that it NEVER UPDATES the data. I have it set to DOWNLOAD AUTOMATICALLY and ALSO to DDOWNLOAD when connected to a PC. NADA.. is there a service that needs to be running or something??

anyone with a solution??

You only need an active internet connection for the update to run. There are no services required to be running for the update. Try opening an internet connection, either 3G or wifi and then manually run the update to make sure the quickgps program itself is not corrupted. If it does update manually, likely you need to change the internet settings to allow programs to open a 3G session.

Thanks for the info.. It does run manually and everythng else runs on its own wihtout me doing anything such as EMAIL, weather, facebook tab updates, etc etc etc... I think its only the quick GPS not running when the data expires.
I also have the check in the down when connected to USB and it doesnt do that either wen I am connected to my computer...

Mine is always up to date. I look every few weeks, and quite unlike my original Tilt, it's always up to date.

check your connections page under network management and make sure of the selection under "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using". I am not sure on sprint, but at&t uses "medianet" for such connections. Try one or more of these settings to see if it makes a difference. Your mail programs are always open, running in the background, and quickgps starts up, runs and shutsdown, so it must enact a web connection, where your mail does not. Likely, since the program works manually, the settings here are not correct

I just checked and under programs that automatically connect it was set to "MY WORK NETWORK" .. then there is program that connect to a private network .. its also set to MY WORK NETWORK. I changed the top on to the choice called SPRINT .. I bet that solves it... Should I worry about the other setting for private networks?
EDIT: I changed it to SPRINT but it keeps resetting to "MY WORK NETWORK" .. how do I fix this? is there a registry setting for this?
EDIT: I put sprint for BOTH SETTINGS and it appears to save... do I need to worry about the PRIVATE NETWORK SETTING since I dont have any VPN set up on the phone.. the MY WORK NETWORK does not have any settings in it...

No, don't worry about it. It is just another option to set up alternate connections, if you need them. Leave it at Sprint for your internet connections and you should be fine. Write more if you need help,

Im on a new ROM and once again QUICKGPS is not automatically downloading when expired.. I followed the fix on here that works on the other rom I was running.. any ideas? Im on mighty 6/20

anyone??? no ideas??

Guys, I just purchased Sprint Touch Pro 2 and using it in Europe (GSM).
Though when I try to run the GPS application, it forces me to download the latest satellite data but even if my phone is connected to the internet via USB, it doesn't download anything.
Any idea why it isn't working? And also, why does the software needs to download stuff from internet, a GPS device should be finding the satellites himself, without any "aid" from external sources.

Lost 3g and data connection

I did something inadvertently and lost my 3g and data connections. As far as I can see, the settings are all right "Mobile network" is clicked under Wireless and Networks, the Mobile Icon is green -- but suddenly I lost 3g.
Could someone give me a checklist of things to do?
Desparately...
Joe

Have you maybe deleted your APN's?
menu>settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>access point names. Also while in thre check network mode is set to gsm/wcdma auto.

the access point I have is Orange Internet -- with juicedefender-orangeinternet underneath. Should there be another one?
Joe

Turn aeroplane mode on and off, if that doesn't work turn off and remove battery. Sounds like you've got an issue that many had and that I use to have.Do a search for the work around, try data connection issues. It was a pain for many data would occasionally just stop working. The new update apparently fixes it.

I would also try things with juicedefender turned off to see if it is causing any problems.
Have you also checked your network mode isn't set to use 2g only?

tried airplane off and on -- no luck. Ditto with battery out and juice defender disabled.
How do I check if Network mode is set to 2G? And how do I get the new upgrade?
(Many thanks for your help, by the way.)
Joe

I've had exactly the same issue.
First thing I did was delete the APN for the faster TMob speeds and reverted to default. This immediately made it work for a few moments before all data connection was lost.
So I then after trying the various things (ie airplane mode - can't remember what else - maybe switching off juice defender?), I did a factory reset. This solved things - until I reinstalled JD, and then the problem rearose. I ahve since binned JD, and I don't have any issue - just a rapidly decreasing battery level...

I just did a hard reset to switch to gmail!
Is there some way to uninstall juice defender?
Also, I just noticed that when I turn my Desire on, I no longer get the choice to choose HTC Sense -- what could have caused that?
Joe

If you performed a hard reset, then this should have deleted Juice Defender and all your pre-installed apps.
To delete it manually, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and select Juice Defender from the list and choose the Uninstall option.
To check if you network is set to 2G, go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Network Mode. If it shows GSM only selected, then it is set as 2G, set it to the GSM/WCDMA instead.
For Sense, go to Settings > Applications > Sense UI then clear defaults and force stop, then hit the home button and choose Home when given the option. You can then set it as default and turn it off or on.

Ta for that. 3g is still on, I've uninstalled Juice Defender and still no joy. (It had gone when I did the reset, but I installed it again. Didn't have any problem with it at first.) Strangely, I can't find Sense UI amongst the applications. Could the hard reset have deleted it?
Anyway, its beginning to look like another hard reset tonight, when I have access to wifi....
Joe

Apologies... it would show up as HTC Sense, not Sense UI
You can also try the HomeSwitcher app, to easily switch between launchers: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.ymst-android-homeswitcher-qEw.aspx

Hello,
i have the exact same trouble.... Lost of all data connexion! Wifi is working properly, but in 3G sometime i lose connexion and i m unable to connect back!
Only way to do it is to turn off the phone and turn it back in, and most of the time it works.
The thing i get since 2 days (since the update in fact) is that before i go to bed i surf a bit, its working, then i plug the phone and go to sleep... then on the morning, no more data connexion!
This is REALLY annoying, and i can't figure out why it is behaving like that.... i have APNdroid installed, but when i lost the connexion even if i try to enable/disable it, nothing to do....
Please help!!

Orange?
Any of you guys on Orange by any chance?
My work mate and I both have a desire and lose 3G when at work. We can call our handsets and they both go straight to vm. They also fail sms.
We can only reliably use the handsets on GSM.
When I go home I switch back to GSM/WCDMA auto and all is OK, except my buddy doesn't live far from work so is on the same cell.
We think it's an issue with an Orange 3G mast that serves our area.
Same thing happens with my N97 and I thought it was handset related.

Data Connection Problem
Hey People,
I have a similar problem with my Galaxy S2 too, on Resurrection remix 4.0.3. I have tried everything well almost everything I know about. I have also installed automatic net services from Orange romania. It didn't help too. I believe there are people who can help fix this problem and releases my pain.
Any helpwould be appreciated.

I had the same problem once. It was the EPST settings.
1. Who is your carrier?
2. What rom do you have? In order to edit the EPST settings you need to
a. Know what your doing
b. Have the ORIGINAL sense rom installed.
You will probably need to call your carrier and tell them your data is not working and you believe it to be the EPST settings. To get into these settings, (in the ORIGINAL sense rom) dail ##778#, click edit mode, then type in password (usually 000000), but it depends on ur carrier.
From there it depends on what your carrier needs the settings to be.
I messed with the APNs settings on my phone for weeks and nothing worked. Then i stumbled upon EPST settings and that fixed it. I had to contact someone in upper data communications in Bluegrass Cellular to get the correct settings. So good luck!

Not all towers support 3G or even internet. That could explain that but idk about the calling and sms.

problem with APN app or my phone or data packet service

hi all,
I'm using APN on/off by i think curious fish or something.
Sometimes when I switch it off and after a long while switch it back on again, I find myself unable to send nor receive any data even though the G icon is up. I had to restart my phone again in order to use data.
Does 3G service require like a dial-up? or why is this happening?

Same happen to me.
I think it happen when u activate the wifi and APN

Slide Isssue. $$$ Reward.

This goes under development because its a problem with my phone regarding the development so before the cyanogen rom release i had eugene's froyo5 and it worked fine.. well my fiance picked up the phone ****ed around with it and now no matter what 2.2 rom i use i can't get INTERNET sites to load or.. MARKET to sync my account or communicate this is with cyanogen rom and eugene's froyo6.. now my wifi will see connections connect and even gather info/ip addy from the wifi however it will not let me load pages ect.. now in 2.1 running the old RADIO + Slidemeroot5 or whatever it's called the stock with root it will go into the wifi/find/communincate and load my MARKET/INTERNET just fine.. so it has to be with a setting that would stay threw data/cache wipe with Cyanogen Kanged heres the thing.. I've wiped many times I've even tried restoring old backups from froyo5 they no longer let me sync/internet/market so.. anyone who can find a solution will receive an IMMEDIATE $20.00 donate and if done in a timely fashion an addition $10.00...
I will not be able to RE-ROOT or UN-ROOT my phone as i do not have my USB cable anymore

check your APN settings dude

Virus, what is with you and trouble?! You two always seem to find each other...
Tuba is right it sounds like your apn settings are wrong or deleted.

Lol! Yeah, it sounds about right. I have'd had that streak before.

Google tmobile apn android and they'll list the proper apn settings. I don't have time to type them all out right now.
oppsy, I see some folks beat me to it and you need the at&t settings anyways. Just google at&t android apn settings. That should do it.

you will need proper APN setting for your carrier, google that shiz and you should be good to go, then you will just need to add the APN to your phone from that same screen
apns are different for each carrier, google APN <carrier> mytouch slide(or just android)

Huh? No data plan huh. Yeah, that will matter. Umm, so you have been using wifi to access internet right?
Okay from what I understand... wifi is real iffy with the 2.2 ports. You might have to select static and type in your ip settings from your pc. Just go on the pc and run command prompt and type ipconfig. That will tell your ip setting and enter them into the correct slots on your phone. Its under menu settings wireless& networks wifi settings menu advanced select static ip

well is data is off then you aren't going to be getting on the interwebs, are you saying that with wifi you can't load pages?

Yeah, he's basically saying wifi isnt sending data to the phone. I edited my previous post to show him how to set up a static network.

yes I had wifi working fine on newslide.zip or myupdate.zip from eugene and all builds before in last 2 days wifis has stopped working... unknown why

Reread the first post. It says my WIFI will connect info and all that and above he states he doesn't have a data plan so its going to have to be wifi hes on.
Now I am having the same problem ever since I flashed the ROM and wiped twice and reflashed twice. Trying static IP now.

alas no luck on STATIC, question is why would I need to set up static when it should auto connect and auto know ya know? i'd like to be able to use WIFI outside of my home aswell

So right now it doesn't work on any rom now? If it's the cyan kernel, try dumfuq's oc kernel, I know it sounds strange but i tried one of cyan's kernel and somethings stopped working, led flashlight is one...Tried the new dumfuq and it worked for me. No promises though that it will work for your wifi problem.

your ip address of your router is 192.168.0.1 which means that your IP address of your phone will have to be 192.168.0.x since the computer is 192.168.0.199 i would try something around the 199 range(try going plus or minus 10) so either 192.168.0.189 or 192.168.0.209
also you will have to set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and gateway to 192.168.0.1

If it worked before on myfroyo 5, then push the apn.conf into /system/etc
or
You can try pushing the apn.conf file from the aria into /system/etc
then do a factory reset..
may or may not work

[Q] More Issues!!!!

I have several more weird problems with my Tilt 2 which has been flashed with the WXW version 2.10.50212114. I just moved to Dallas and the weather on the home page shows Houston instead of Dallas. Before wherever I was at I would get that weather.
Another issue is since moving to Dallas I cannot get my personal e-mails on my phone. It just runs and runs and finally errors out. It also hangs up when disconnecting. I do not know if this is a phone issue or an AT&T mail issue. I have a Bellsouth e-mail address
One more issue is whenever my phone and the bluetooth in my truck connect the phone goes to my music on my phone. This seems like it would be a phone issue.
Any ideas?

I was able to get my e-mail working, but have not been able to resolve the other two issues.
Any ideas out there???

For the weather problem, try updating with the 3G radio disabled in Comm Manager.
For the Bluetooth issue. all I can say is that some radios play better with different devices.

There is not a setting for the 3G radio on Comm Manager. Below is what is there.
Airplane Mode
Phone
Bluetooth
Wi-Fi
Microsoft Direct Push
Data Connection
Wifi Router
Everything is on except for Airplane Mode and WiFi Router.

Well, I don't know which ROM you are using, but the setting can also be found in Start > Settings > Connections > Advanced Network. There should be a drop down box there. Set it to Disable. This will make it so the device only connects to GPRS or EDGE networks. This should allow you to update the weather location without a problem.

I found the setting and disabled it. This disabled HSDPA/HSUPA. I then did a reset, but it is still showing Houston instead of Dallas which is where I am right now. Checking the GPRS setting it is asking if I want PAP or CHSP authentication.

If that still isn't working, then the only other things I can suggest are to ask your carrier to reset your connection to the network, or input the location manually. JVH3 made a Weather City Editor app that will add cities to the list if Sense doesn't have them by default.
