Htc -s730 Gps

dear friends
just to update you gps works with google maps on htc-s730 sample and also in the software of the unit it self you can find htc gps software that will show you gps is working and finiding sat signal.
love the unit
but must say bit slow and i hope it s just the sample rom and in the futere it will be better

so does the HTC S730 have GPS built in ?
or do you have to use an external bluetooth gps reciever ?

htc-s730 samplese are shipped
gps is built in !!!

can you confirm this with a source? i cant find anything about built-in-gps on the S730..

htc-s730 samplese are shipped
i cant send a link
but can assure you its in i have it in my hands

Any idea when Orange Uk will get this? I can't wait!

HTC S730 with GPS!!
well pdadb.net and HTC.com use to show that its with GPS but not any more i have found this url ( http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news3075.html )showing orange version..
Mods i am sorry if i break the forum rules by adding the above link..

this will be my dream phone. if it does have gps built in.

the link above shows a completely different mobile.. check www.htc.com for the S730.. and i seriously doubt it has GPS

hi, i think the link above is showing future version of orange which will be as usual different from HTC brand.

just made 2 movies at home in israel and loaded for you all to view that built in is working on sample unit.
hope for all of us on shipped rom too.
thanks

im definately getting this phone now. as long as it has the gps hardware builtin. im sure someone here can enable it to work on the rom. or maybe in the future a rom is released where it is enabled.
the rrp price for this on expansys is £314

hey there motin. could you test it with tomtom navigation software. and post a video if possible
regards

sorry not convinced.. wouldnt gmaps show "gps active" with bluetooth mouse also? dont want to call you a liar or faker.. but still, not convincing..

ok i did not make all this to convince you so wait for your shipped version and maybe you will be lucky and get your gps open on the shipped rom
in any case i dont have tom tom to try on the phone.
but i am sure you can fwd it to me . some how
also please look on the screen can you see teh bluetooth icon appering on the today screen ?

The problem will probably be the same as I had with a Nokia 6110 Navigator.
U can install TomTom. It will work fine, but there will be no way to use the internal GPS. At least I could not accomplish this on the Nokia.
U can probably install TT 6.03 on the s730, but u will have to mess around with FakeCursor. For me, personally, This is not a good solution. Too much hassle to use the address lookup.
IF I get the S730, I will probably use TT5.21, with external GPS or maybe internal, with GPS gate. Using Touch/Elf for the moment.

htc-s730
gd day have managed to install the tom tom software today will test and see if the gps is working and will upload a movie for you all.
nice day

htc-s730 gps enabled

I was just looking at the Garmin Mobile™ XT software that works on top of the mobile phone gps, and it lists the HTC s730 as compatible with their mobile software. Looks like a good sign to me.....not sure it is ok to do this or not, so sorry if it is not, but here is the web site for the Garmin software.....
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11413

thanx for that motin. just need to clarify whether the final products have the GPS hardware in it. and whether it just needs enabling...
kind of similar with the htc trinity.

TMC & polaris

is it working?
if yes, how to configure it ?
i use iGO 2006 Plus, when i try to Auto detect the TMC Hardwar, i get hardware not found ...
thanks

Which external GPS receiver with built in TMC are you using?
TDO

i use the polaris internal one ...

and thatsUR answer. Polaris doesnt have TMC support, although i remember reading smth about some "special" antena for Artemis that was supposed to make it working. But if it is working or not.... (i guess FM HW is +-same as Arte has, so maybe its worth a try to search for it)

Thx for the answers... i'll search ...

2 GPS programmes on one PDA

Hi
I've got an HTC Touch Cruise. Anyone know if I can install two GPS programmes on one PDA?
Would appreciate your input.
Thanks
Brian

Yeah, no problem. You can install them fine.
On some PDAs (Kaiser I think) you can even use them both at the same time polling the same information from the GPS antenna. Other PDAs can't do this without a separate bit of software, can't recall what it's called, but this'll bump you back up to the top and one of the helpful chaps here will contribute.

Thanks Mustang for your input. So there's no problem with special configuring: I don't want to use them together?

shouldn't have a problem. i was based in thailand and i was using powermaps. i then transfered to melbourne where i now use tomtom7. i also had my mapking 7 software installed as i was using maps for malaysia.
so to answer your question, it shouldn'd be a problem.
cheers

If you're not using them at the same time then there is no reason for a problem. You'll need to configure each app to look at the correct com port and baud rate etc if they don't auto detect, but I use Navigon 6, Google Maps, MS Live, and a couple of other GPS apps (dashboards and things) and they all sit quite happily.

Looking for App to connect external Garmin GPS to Android tablet

Hello,
I am looking for an Android app (and/or driver) that allows me to connect an external USB GPS (Garmin GPS Map60CS) to a standard 7" tablet (Android 2.1), which has USB host capabilities.
The purpose of this is to be able to upload/download tracks and waypoints to/from my GPS while travelling. This would be great because would enable me to travel without laptop but tablet !
As an example, there is a similar solution for Windows CE phones and serial GPS´s, which I have used many times: G7toWin
http://www.gpsinformation.org/ronh/g7towin.htm
Another solution would be to connect a USB-to-Serial dongle to the tablet, and (hopefully) this could be connected by RS232 to the Garamin GPS. But an app is needed anyway.
If someone can point a solution or suggestion, I would be very happy.
Thank you very much.

Sorry for opening an old thread, but did you find any solution?

Hi
I'm trying to get my GPSmap 62 work as a mass storage for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using an OTG cable but that just doesn't seem to work. Did you do something special to get your Garmin and Android to do that? Such as rooting or using some special file manager app.

I'm pretty sure that my android (then) was rooted. I use "Total Commander" and in the options you need to let it have root function all around - but other apps like it will also work.
Haven't used it with my 'new' phone cause haven't had the time to play with it (even after 6 month :$)

Hello,
I thought people in this thread might like to know that I made an app that can transfer waypoints and tracks in both directions between an Android device and Garmin GPSMap 60Cs. I'm currently trying to find out if there are more people interested and if so then I'll add support for more Garmin GPS models and publish the app.
Here's my original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/transfer-tracks-waypoints-to-garmin-gps-t2858387

Your always welcome . Ever need help just pm me . I will try my best to help you . Take care ...!!!

The problem is that the FM section doesn't have a transmitter.
It might be possible to do something with either Bluetooth or peer-peer WiFi.

Hi Supremazy? I am interesting in the same too, did you find the solution?
I have posted this question on quora and got one good answer, but it's not full. If you interesting, you can search it on quora with the phrase "What a good ways to add FM radio support to Android or iOS device without Internet connection?"
Please, share what new information you have found so far.

Thanks yuriy,
I just looked at the link.But it's not exactly what i want.I want make this thing with new software but existing hardware.
I searched the play store i found two app (PTTDroid and Android Intercom) but they are really hard to setup and requires a wifi router.I love routers don't misunderstand.Actually it's good to use router for increasing range.
Other apps requires registration and transmitting sound from internet.
Walkie Talkie - Wifi & Bluetooth By Porchlight iPhone app is what i want.Just launch the app in two iphones/ipads(or more) and talk.

I do not understand why you suppose it is possible to run FM radio on iPhone without Internet WITH NO USE EXTERNAL OR ADDITIONAL HARDWARE? At least you need FM transmitter like iTrip. Other wise, how you are going to connect to FM radio wave?

I don't want to always carry a hardware in my pocket.Because of this i don't like additional fm transmitter idea.

That's the best option you have: Griffin iFM Radio Receiver for iPhone and iPod
Alternatively, it is possible to modefy hardware wich is quite costly, either connect to the FM radio device via bluetuth. Both not attractive as for me.
What you want is not possible technicaly.

I think I found the app what i want. It's name is WiFi Talkie Lite made by remaller. You can find on the store. Program's best feature is you don't need to a wifi router, you turn your phone to wifi ap with tethering. I didn't try the app so I didn't any information about usage.

Wow the amount of bullsh*tters on forum saying stuff like "it can't be done" bla and bla is a lot. There are currently 2 apps that do what u want but not over fm of cos. Check them out!
Serval is very promising do check they main site as well videos are there too!

What's the best app to use to accomplish walkie talkie in a place where there is no Internet access? Don't mind buying a hardware extension like a Griffin fm transmitter.

It is possible to use your Android phone as a walkie talkie over Bluetooth and also via wifi using ad hoc connection.
The following are the apps which make it possible.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remaller.android.wifitalkie_lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidintercom

Yep i dont think the android fm can emit , its just a reciever...
Thank me if i helped .. ?

A good way
I have an idea but have a problem, it just works in the city and need some money.
You can buy a wifi router and a make a big antenna ,then connect the antenna to the router.
then download a walkie talkie app for your devices and connect them to the wifi router and use the app.
Note : You shouldn't connect router to internet (with phone cable , Dsl cable or other). we just need it's access point.
