GSM Positioning - General Topics

Anyone knows if exists a GSM positioning app for Pocket PC (for those who don't know, something that tells approximately your position, similar to GPS but using GSM data)?
I know exists one for Nokia phones so maybe could be easely done for Pocket PC too...
Thx

PPC as bluetooth headset. Any know how??

I have an Alpine (XDA IIi) and an ericsson T39m mobile phone. Both of these devices are bluetooth enabled. I want to know how I may use my PPC to act as a headset so that I can have a telphone coversations that is piped through the T39m.
Why: because I bought my PPC in the UK and when I am in turkey (where I work) its IMEI is locked but my t39m works there. I manage to pipe GPRS via bluetooth dial-up networking going but only if I can get the phone piping too.
Why not use the HTC IMEI changer available on the forums to change your alpine's IMEI to your T39's IMEI?
That way you can scrap your T39 and just use the alpine.
Thaks for the reply. I have tried but did not succeed. The tools are listed for
Typhoon
Hurricane
Tornado
Wizard
Prophet
mine is an Alpine. I do not know why it did not work on my PDA. May be I did not do it right but I tell you I spent months on this. If you can give me a little help of pointer as to how to do this on Apline I will appreciate it.

Using Palm PDA with vox

Hi,
I wonder if anyone has been able to use the vox/ htc e650 as a modem with a palm pda.
I used to use my spv c550 and old e200 with a T3 no problems at all, both with infrared and with bluetooth.
I can pair my e650 and send files to/from the devices but no amount of fiddling with the connections work to enable dial up gprs.(*99# on orange node)
I worked out how to set this up on the older spvs when I worked for orange so they could update their internal pages when people called about this but canoot get it working on vox models.
I have tried setting generic gsm phone or universal phone driver which worked on my old spv so am guessing that something has been changed in the way it uses modem drivers or windows mobile.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks
it seems I found the answer after looking thru the forums.
Discovered the cab that allows DUN via bluetooth instead of the pan internet sharing which I don't thing the palm supports anyway.
One thing I noticed is that there is nothing on the phone to indicate a connection is in progress.
On previous spv phones and ipaq I has 2 arrowa to show data connection was made.
Is this usual on vox or just a quirk of the dun workaround ?

A virtual 56k modem for dial up?

Is there a program out there that simulates a 56k modem on a Windows Mobile device so that I can connect to the internet using my dialup ISP credentials? If not, how hard would it be to make one? Any other ways to get dial up working on Windows Mobile? I do not have a data plan and would like Internet on my phone.
problem is that gsm devices can't connect to an old analog isp modem connection
back before gprs
the phone company's sold special gsm internet connections so phones which supported it
could be used as modems my old motorola 930 supported that but those
gsm data internet subscriptions were expensive both for having and using
hmm would there be a round about way to do it? like dial a traditional phone from your cell phone witch inturn dials dialup internet. i have wanted something like this before too.
My phone is Verizon (CDMA), not GSM. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Yes, that is what I am looking for. The problem is not the phone, it's that there is no modem in a WM phone. This is what I am looking for; A little program that sort of emulates a physical 56k modem.
when connected to activesync or PAN your phone will have the same network connection as your pc unless you have blocked it
so you can get internet that way
but there is no way that a program can make it possible for you to put in your nomal analog modem connections phone nr and settings and connect that way
programs run inside the operating system and access the network by using the gsm phone module so a program can bypass the gsm system

[Q] Cell ID/ Cell ID+RTT positioning method not available on Omnia 7?

Hello everyone,
I'm running an Omnia 7 since several months and noticed that the positioning functionality is very flawed.
I noticed that there don't seem to be any Cell ID or Cell ID+RTT positioning method (only GPS or A-GPS), which makes positioning indoor impossible.
This didn't happen on my old Nokia E63, which didn't have a built-in GPS. Even without that, it could perfectly plot my current location within 5 seconds by using network cell ID+RTT.
Can someone tell me if this method is available on WP7? Am I having a defective unit? I tried to search in the diagnosis tool with code *#1472365# but it's only related to the built-in GPS unit.
Thanks!
Any idea? Thanks.

[Q] Need help about GPS/A-GPS on phones

Hi everyone just needed abit of help understanding the difference between GPS/A-GPS
I use a GPS jammer for my work vehicle, and to test the jammer is working i go onto my HTC touch pro2 satnav which uses GPS and the signal wont work whilst the jammer is on
Sadly that phone broke and i now have a HTC mozart that uses windows 7 - when i turn the GPS jammer on the satnav on the mozart still finds signal and doesnt get blocked at all
I was wondering if my GPS jammer is not working anymore, but then i tested it on a friends samsung android phone and the signal gets blocked
can anyone explain this/have a theory of why i can still get satnav on the htc mozart whilst the jammer is on?
please specify

Hi!
3 Questions about situation with mozart.
1. If you move (with mozart and jammer), the stamp from the GPS receiver will move as well or it will stay in one place?
2. If you turn the receiver is turned on after the jammer (jammer is turned on first)? Whether a receiver can correctly identify the location in this case?
3. Are you sure that is working on locating by GPS, and not by the base stations of the cellular operator?

hey thanks for the reply, yo answer your questions -
1. Yes the navigation moves whenever i move
2. Wether i turn the receiver or jammer on first makes no difference, i tried both ways and both times the receiver still finds my position
3. I read into some FAQ's about the navigation programme (orange maps) and apparently it works using something called microsoft location - and i think that works by cellular operators and wifi but i still dont quite understand it tbh
