How to unlock X1 gps

Same as title, does anyone have a clue?

If you mean to get it working, it should work straigth out of the box, just go outside, start google maps and wait. First time might take a while before it gets a lock on the satelites though.. and check if quickGPS' data hasn't expired (start it under programs)..

Yes download the quickgps info first. Then the GPS fix should be ready within 30 seconds!

it doesn't cost money to use the gps does it?

Nope, unless your using A-GPS
or google maps

Sorry that I asked this stupid question. I thought it only has A-GPS. Since every time I start Google Map, it is using A-GPS.

Having agps allows us to have both gps and agps. Programs like TomTom works well with our gps chip, and does not require internet.

does anyone know where i can download quick gps?

its built into the rom. Look in windows.

Strange thing... After a clean ROM install, setting in Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 (beside other settings) to disable A-GPS, soft resetting , I start Google Earth but nothing else and... surprise! It show me my position!!! And I'm sure (if anyone ask) the GPS is not in use. Well, how is that? And this happen third time now! Is there an alternate solution to verify/disable the A-GPS? Because I'm sure that's the reason for GE knowing my position. Any ideea?

Check for this registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SUPL AGPS\DefaultSetting]
"EnableAGPS"=dword:00000001
Setting it to 0 will disable A-GPS.

Thanks for the tip but.... I've checked the reg: it was 0. Just in case one softreset then:
Step1-check the reg: is 0 (again)
Step2-check the ACT: disabled
Step3-start GoogleMaps: I got my position!
Step4-check the GPS settings: off (why am I not surprised?)
WTF?

Speachless...

I may be wrong,but i think its using the network to show your position. You can see the 'circle' around the 'blue dot'.the blue dot is not really your position, but the ctr of the circle. So it literally means u somewhere in the that circle.
So i dont think that google maps was giving your position, unless u happen to be near your network mast or whatever. Once you enable GPS, it will try to get ur location frm the satellites.
To Yotsclee: when using google maps, select 'USE GPS' from Menu.Look further down on post #12
Hope that helps
well, i may be wrong as well...

Manish is right. If the phone was using the real GPS chip, it would show a small circle since it is more precise.

Guess you're right! However, is damn accurate!!

With GPS enabled on googlemaps, it shows exactly where I am with about 10 feet of variation at most.

perhaps an idea
go to settings and find external gps-<select the 3rd tab and deselect the option to use GPS automatic.
now it will use GPS only, if you press the button Gpsin your Google maps.

Google Maps will always start a data connection because none of the maps are stored on your phone. This will occur even with A-GPS disabled.

Google not using GPS
Hi everybody,
if I remember right, in that case Google is using the GSM cell information from your handy to position you.
It is not using GPS at all as long as it is turned off. That is just optional.
If you are within several cells it uses signal strength of each cell to get you positioned better. So within a city you will probably get a rather exact position. In the wild it will be a larger circle...

To clear things up.
When you first load Google Maps the locate me is based on your current cell.
Your phone tells google "Hi I'm on 234-12345" and Google then has a look in it's massive database and goes, "Oh, people who use that cell tend to be located around 52 deg 48' 40.30" N, 1 deg 13' 55.33" E, but with a margin of error of about 1 mile"
Your phone then puts a blue dot at the spot and places the blue circle a mile around your location.
Google does not use multiple cells to trianglate your location, they just use the one cell.
Then when you enable the GPS (via the menu), your phone tells Google Maps "actually I'm at 52 deg 48' 40.50" N, 1 deg 13' 54.78" E", this then removes the blue circle and moves the blue dot to the correct location.
What also happens is that your phone tells Google "BTW I'm on cell 234-12345 and my location is 52 deg 48' 40.50" N, 1 deg 13' 54.78" E". Google then decide with all this data (plus all the others on the same cell) whether they need to move or adjust their original statement for those without GPS.

GPS Nav

What is the best GPS navigation software for the S3? Google ruined theirs when they removed street names and Maps appears to be part of the ROM because it can not be uninstalled or else I would use the previous version.

You can remove system apps. Just takes root and a capable file explorer.
But I use a combo between Waze and Scout from the makers of Telenav

I use Google Maps. I have tried a couple of different mapping apps, but I always return to Google Maps. I'm a service tech and I do a lot of driving. I have all of the street names and the local streets appear to get updated fairly quickly. What I would like to see is multi-stop routing, or shown where to go to use multi-stop routing in Google Maps.

I typically use Scout and Google Maps. (Navigation) Both work well. I'm rooted running The Peoples Rom. But as was stated, google updates fairly often.

Can you create the route on the PC using Google Maps in Chrome and then use Chrome 2 Phone to send the route to your device?

Aw come on, having street names is overrated anyway . Uninstall it with Titanium Backup and reinstall it from the market. That's weird. Mine has street names just fine.
I keep Google Maps on my phone because of the Google Now integrated and offline maps capabilities. But I do also have Waze and Scout installed for good measure.

Probably. Unfortunately, I don't get my entire route until about 15 minutes into my first call. Then the route is kinda dynamic. Calls are added and removed throughout the day.

Yikes. That sounds awful. Maybe a sit down with management is in order... sounds like you have a business case for a laptop / notebook and a hot spot

Hehehe.... it's not all that bad. We have routers in our trucks, panasonic toughbooks and intranet access. But no internet. The calls come and go due to "load balancing". 16 of us do refrigeration in a very large area (from Williamsburg, Va to the Outer Banks, NC) so evening out the load becomes a necessity, especially if a tech gets stuck on a job that takes longer than anticipated or a tech gets a run of really, really fast calls (ie- "not-at-home" or "It's now working").

[APP][Alpha2][Jan 09 2015] Wear GPS

Out of curiosity I quickly put together Wear GPS test app.
It uses build-in GPS only! (Doesn't matter if you connected or disconnected)
Huge thanks to satstat [email protected] https://github.com/mvglasow/satstat for the implementation of SNR and Gps position views.
Install it on your phone and it will sync mobile app. Phone app is solely for installation/uninstallation.
Please let me know how your gps behaves. Mine is really strange - sometimes will fix quickly at home and sometimes outside just jumps between 11/20 to 0/20 to 4/20 to 12/20 withing 5 secs
I guess this attributes to zigzaging track.
Operation - Scroll face right to get into Sat positions view and then left to get back, Long press to exit.

P.S. DOP/HDOP and VDOP are not populated right now.
Changelog:
0.2 Added reset and request AGPS, tho have no idea if it works w/o direct internet connection, also added simple status screen by request
0.1 Initial release

Cool! nice app!
BTW, speaking of jumps, look at the graphs for pace I got with "my tracks" during my last test. As you can see there are a lot of times when the gps signal is lost. This does not happen when I use my tracks in my nexus 5.

This is cool. maybe you could give Runtastic and Endomodo some tips. I haven't found a running app that works with the native GPS yet, they all seem to only work if the phone is tethered to the watch during a run.

didnt find a fitting thread but you look like haveing a plan bout gps...
Im more paranoid user and was wondering, if I turn the gps of my phone, does this also entirely disable the gps module of my smartwatch?
And if the answer is "no" how can this total disable of gps be acchieved?

It looks to work fine on my SWR50.
What I'm missing is a page with ALTITUDE, BEARING, DOP, SATS written in BIG, since on the 1st screen is VERY very difficult to read while you are moving (too small text).
Can you?

FANTASTIC: great job.
Maybe fonts size could be even bigger in page 3.
Thanks a lot: bravo!

great app!
font sice could be a littel bit greater, and is it show the satellites number?
the app itself works like a charm, except if i do a screenshot at the android wear manager, the app closes - but that happens with ervery app if i try to make a screenshot.
my swr50 has no hopping at all, just the altitude is too high (approx. 40 meters), but that is even the case if i open the developer menue.

Altitude is what GPS reports, but it is not reliable at low altitudes, better on a plane.
With app closure it is wear 5.0 feature I believe, but I plan to implement persistent notification in app closure. Once i find some free time - I'll do it...

Bumping an old thread, but still relevant at least ; loaded it on to my new SW3, and seems to work great. Only complaint of course is can't do the swipe to close; not the end of the world, but would be a good future improvement.
Still, thanks for the work!

When a 0.3 release?

Here's another GPS software from GhostRacer developer:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...d=com.bravetheskies.gpstest&rdot=1&feature=md
It's very intgeresting.

*alarm* / Icing / Net_scheduler wake locks

Anyone know how to fix this? I've been looking for days, cannot find a way to actually stop it, right now it's the only thing keeping my phone awake.

It's driving me crazy!

It is safe to temper this wakelock with Amplify. Therefor, you have to install Xposed. Easy to do and works great for me

I've turned it off now with wakelock blocker in RR, however, googleplay services stayed awake for 4 hours last night even though its set not to, I used to lose 1% at night now 4-6%
I really don't get it.

Have you tried DisableService? Very usefull app, you can find it in the PlayStore for free. It simply does what it says, disables services like some of Google Services which keeps your phone awake.

I haven't, that is a last resort I guess.
But they don't seem to stay disabled anyway; it's weird. They are all disabled in RR, etc Privacy Guard, but it isn't working.
Is there any explanation to how a month ago everything was fine, nothings changed, and now it's not fine?

There is no wipe data in there, just cache (on google play services)

Yes wipe cache and dalvik from twrp

Fair enough, let me know if it works for you.
It was a PITA to troubleshoot the issue, I tried removing my Google account, wiping data for play store/Google now, disabling Google Now, disabling location services and after each change reboot and monitor for an hour. The fix I posted was the only thing that made a difference.

Homeacreen weather widget showing question mark?

My pixel Xl homescreen weather widget which I use with nova launcher is just displaying a question mark "?". If I open the weather widget and search for other locations besides my current one it displays the wether fine just not my weather. This is happening with the pixel launcher as well. It was working fine and just all of a sudden stopped working. Location is enabled and nothing has really changed. Any ideas please?

I've looked thoroughly into the settings to figure out what may be causing your issue and the only thing I can think is that your location data is being denied to the widget, but I don't know how to fix or check that because the widget doesn't show in any of the settings. Maybe something in the location settings is turned off. Sorry I can't be of more help!
Edit: Go into Settings then Apps, click the cog wheel(top right), click app permissions(top option), click location, click 3 dot button(top right), click show system, scroll down to pixel launcher and turn it to on. See if that fixes it.

Hey,
I really appreciate your help thanks a lot.
Unfortunately that didn't do it and neither did a reflash of the ROM. However your suggestions got me thinking and I downloaded a mock location app and interestingly all locations except my very own show the weather. Im suspecting for some reason or another the location data for my area is not being shown by Google and I suspect this may not be just for me but with no other pixels around it's hard to know. Im waiting to travel out of my area and see if my suspicions are correct and it will make sense seeing it just happened out of the blue. Now the question is how do I report such a specific fault to google and not have to wait 5 years for a fix.

If you have a Pixel you can get support on the web via chat or email or request a call back. Yours sounds like a problem they may be able to help with. Just out of curiosity does your GPS app work ok?
