[Q] One X GPS with Sports Trackers

I recently started using Endomondo with my One X (Im new to endomondo anyway!). On my first run i noticed some odd placement of some of the GPS markers on the route i followed. I figured it was just bad signal.
I took both my One X and Nexus one out today, One X in left trouser pocket and N1 in my Right. The N1 does still have some anomalous readings but nowhere near as many as my OneX
Does anyone else notice this with their One X using Endomondo/similar applications
P.S Yes, i know i am horrendously unfit.

Having come from the iPhone 4 (using MotionX GPS) I also downloaded Endomondo last week to give it a try. Did an 8 mile walk with the phone having a clear view of the sky. Looks okay when zoomed out, but if you zoom in to view the route then it looks like I've had 20 pints beforehand and am wavering all over the place!

Haven't had chance to try another program yet to see if it's the phone or the software.

Having similar problem with Noom. Seems to think I have travelled three times the distance, in some cases, simply because of the erratic zig zags. It actually produces reasonable results if I reduce the GPS polling frequency (setting within Noom) to 30 seconds, from the default 1 second.

Had same kind of problem with Endomondo on my HTC One X.
This is the workout with the HOX: http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/48666294
And this is with my old SE Neo: http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/13079346
Aprox 3,5km difference... very weird..

Has anyone tried endomondo on a different device - do they get the same results.
Out of interest, what Firmware version is your One X which gives these results?

I was still using the official HTC 1.26 firmware when I tracked mine - I'll give it another go now I've upgraded to Mike1986's firmware.

Got the same gps issues using runtastic and Navigon or GMaps.
Found 8-10 satellites, but my position is jumping around.
Hope it is not a Hardwareissue like on transformer prime with tegra3.

got a htc one x last week, exactly same problem with edomo, sports tracker and sporty pal, also google maps is erectic, rang 3 who supllied phone they say its the apps that are faulty, they all work perfectly on my desire, help please as i have 7 days left to send it back. no good to me if gps is crap

Return it
I have the same GPS problem in all my GPS apps that are working fine in my old Desire.
The only solution people report in other treads is to return the phone for another copy - I tried that today in my shop - the official HTC shop in Copenhagen - only to be told that I was one day late as they have a 7 day policy, so now my phone has to go away for "repair" a number of weeks

I blocked the GPS-Services to prevent download AGPS-data, and cleared after that the AGPS-data on my phone using GPS-Status. Now is working.
..as well I disabled the HTC Auto GPS using Titanium.

Nicely done.
I ain´t got the balls to root just yet, is it possible in any way to block the agps while using Endomondo or such apps without root access?

You could try to put the phone in Plane/flying mode and then delete the Agps info with the gps status app.
Maybe that will work, because endomondo (or any other app) will not be able to update the gps info at that moment.
I must say, i have not yet tried it, so i have no idea if this realy works, but i think it should work.

Works fine to use the gps in flightmode. Sadly after a fast try indoor (near a window) the gps keeps moving around.
Will try outside tomorrow...

Well, I must say that my device is not rooted, neither unlocked and I do not have any problems with Endomondo. My workout on One X: workouts/49448880 (sorry could not post full link due to limitations for new users). As you can see everything is fine here.

Have to ask for help again....Text message bug on HOX

I have a small problem guys....when my phone is in sleep mode i don't get my text messages....as soon as i get the phone awake instantly i receive the texts....what seems to be the problem? need help cz i need to manually wake the phone and look for text messages....
P.S i am on stock with 1.29 latest update.....not rooted or flashed....
I already had a thread but im deleting it and refreshing my question as i have not had any response from anyone except for 1 which is downloading power saver settings but that didn't do anything.....Please help...Thanx....
UPDATE: On some other forum which i was searching for on Google, someone had posted to clear the cache and do a factory reset which i did and still i have the problem...i mean as soon as i manually wake the phone from sleep....i hear the tone and text message light appears....but if there are two texts for example another one coming immediately after the first one, then it notifies for both the texts....
***UPDATE (Possible Fix)*****
After searching thousands of forums i have found the problem to be that of software. Couldn't find a fix for it but found an app on the Play Store that does the trick...The app is call SMSAwake. Write it exactly like this in Play Store and you will find that it works and actually wakes the phone up and text is received. Glad i found something..... Do respond if you find it helpful.....THANKS.....

Yeah I have simmer on my phone if i receive a text phone do not notify me when I get one sometimes it do but loads of times it don't.
I will get the text if i go look in my sms inbox then they show up iv had once where someone sent me a pic and it just disappeared from my messages before I could receive it.
Im on stock untouched this started happening after the ota update from O2 very annoying that this happens think it's a software fault thou.
I had the same with the fb app on other phones never told me of any notification but on my hox it works perfect but texts do what the fb app use to do lol.

I often had this problem on an HTC Touch Diamond with Windows Mobile. What was happening in that case was the text messages were received, but the interrupt from the radio to the CPU didn't always work, or the phone was waking up, but going to sleep a split second before the alert had time to sound.
To the OP, what have you installed by way of applications? Things like battery savers or shutting down tasks using task killers could be the cause.

Phil

Assuming you guys are using stock ROMs and radios it has to be something specific to the One X and the carrier you're using. It happens all the time because one universal radio designed to work everywhere is bound to have issues occasionally on specific networks. HTC just pushed an update to the Nordic countries that updated their radio so I'm guessing there must have been some specific issues identified. 2.X when it's released will have a new radio so that might help.
I assume the One X has fast dormancy enabled by default. That can be a problem on certain networks that don't support it correctly. Here's a link to a thread on fast dormancy from the SGS3 forum that might help. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else to tell you. All phones don't work equally well on all networks.

[Q] GPS

Hi guys, I'm contemplating making the switch to Virgin Mobile Prepaid getting the One V (from ATT, Atrix 4G). My primary concern is GPS as I do rely on it quite a bit getting from A-Z.
Can anyone verify the One V NOT having any GPS issues? Or should I look for a different phone if GPS is an important feature for me?

if GPS is a primary concern, I say u look for a different phone.there are lot of problems with GPS,WiFi in HTC devices. u may also find threads about GPS not working,WiFi not working, here and in one s and one x forums.other than that this phone is delightful.

Thanks for the feedback! Can you be more specific as to what the issues are?

Well sometimes the GPS suddenly shows errors in location giving wrong locations sometimes(happened with me).sometimes even if u have enabled location access and GPS satellites, there will be an error getting your location update(also happened with me;recently I saw two such cases here on XDA).
These are of course my experiences other people may present different views.

Ok, thanks! I can live with the occasional error as long as it gets me back on track. I had huge issue with the Samsung Galaxy about 1 1/2 yrs ago (cant remember if it was the I or the II). It would loose GPS signal and didn't get back on track until I drove around lost for several hours. I returned it and got the Atrix 4G instead. My current Atrix 4G (MB860) will take several minutes to find a GPS signal, but once it's locked on it is rock rolid.

For me.. GPS on One V looks a little bit funny as there is no compass
Other than that, it is ok.
Use this fix for better GPS experience.

GPS SatNav Failure

I have found the first real issue with the M8.
The GPS fails during navigation and cannot get proper lock. That meant it kept trying to recalculate routes etc...
My friends have also had same issue.
Location settings were set on the best option too. Full mobile signal and internet as well.

Google navigation and TomTom both failed on different M8s.
It works for a bit, but when it goes wrong you will know about it.
I am hoping only software, but I have no idea of issues or how to fix it.

If you are rooted or unlocked, try this GPS config ... its for quick good AGPS lock before actual GPS one.

I'm not adversed to anythng BUT I have just bought a £500 plus phone. I would rather not void a warranty yet.... also some of my apps won't work on a rooted device.

I have no problem on my phone. all is ok.

GPS has been the best I've ever experienced on a smartphone. Locks quickly and accurately and the only device ever to get a decent lock inside my concrete flat.
However, yesterday the GPS failed completely whilst driving with clear view of the sky. A reboot fixed it and it was then rock solid again.
That's the only time it's done it in about a week since owning it with about 20 hours driving with it.
I'm hoping that means it's a software issue somewhere.

Yep gonna agree works perfect with copilot. Also better than sygic imo. I also wouldn't bother with Google navigation. Better to use an offline satnav app.

I have this problem too... Doesn't seem to matter which app one are using, it also happens with my golf app... And the only way to fix it, is to reboot the phone.. This is really annoying...
It seems to be related to bluetooth use... If I use BT to play music/listen to audiobook at the same time as I use the navigation app, then I have this problem.. If I turn off the BT, then the problem does not seem to appear... I am saying seem to, because it seems to be random when this occurs so not 100% sure that turning off BT fixes the problem but so far I have not had this problem when BT is off..
I also thought this was fixed in the latest update but yesterday it happend again....

Unless they're labeled as updated or are 4.4.3, I would assume not.

just a tip, try downloading waze app and see if that fixes it!

I've had no troubles with this phone, but on my gs2 when I did I used a program from play store called "topntp" that worked wonders for getting a GPS fix.

There are no 4.4.3 ROMs from what I have looked at and if there were, none were TW, stock. Tried the app the previous post mentioned and had no luck with it. Using Waze isn't a solution to the problem, simply a workaround and I hate the UI of Waze, which is why I use Maps instead. There has to be a fix for this issue. I've ordered a replacement device in the meantime.

4.4.3 has not been released yet so there will not be any ROMs using it yet.

I don't seem to have the problem for what I use the phone for, but then I don't use navigate often. I do use one of the AGPS updater (can't recall which one at the moment) and I do get a good lock fairly quickly (under 4s).
If there really is an issue however, the fix is in the updated Android 4.4.3 release which as already stated has not yet been released. So there is no "fix".

Just sayin, it is a little better then the main apps page like live updates which includes traffice, the actual time youll get to your destination, accidents, and so on.....your probably the first one that doesnt likes waze......you did ask for a fix......i had the same issue with mine on non-rooted and rooted devices and thats the reason why i use waze, it gets the job done better then the main navi app. but it might be a faulty equipment, get it swapped but note that it will be a refurbished device

Waiting for the next update and hope it would be fixed.
