Is there any software to do this?(GPS current speed reading)

Hi all
Ive got an xda 2 and a bt gps thingi, is there any software that shows your current speed? maybe even 0/60 times and 1/4 of a mile .. i know this wont be that accurate but it would be a cool toy.
If anybody could post some names that would be great, not really after a full on route finder with it just a stand alone but i guess anything will do, free or otherwise
Thanks

GPS on Raphael

Tested it out today, counted from when I opened OCN8 and it took exactly 30 seconds to get a fix. Perfectly acceptable if you ask me, especially seeing as I'll only use it for long drives.

great to know man
Thx for sharing
Did you try any button mapping software?

With or with out A-GPS??

With A-GPS, I don't think you can turn it off.
Only one GPS setting: Enable AGPS: Checkbox.
No, I haven't done any button mapping to the other person who asked.

Is the device as fast as shown in unwired videos?

Yep, 26 seconds for me using Garmin.
And yes, mine is as fast as the videos. Definitely an improvement over the Diamond, despite the Diamond's speed improvements with recent cooked ROM's.
Amazing what a bit of extra RAM will do...

Great, thanks for the info
Since you're using Garmin
I've always found it's notifications to be quite lower than other GPS s/w even when placing an attention tone prior
Is it any louder on the Raph speakers in comparison with Kaiser?

You know what, I've not managed to get a GPS fix using Copilot 7 or Google Maps.

Strange. Very quick for me too.

Make sure to download QuickGPS before you use those programs, that may be your issue.

Fast like, TF3D being fast? Check this video out, AT&T model, 100% out of the box and not 1 tweak applied:

Now with tweaks, it's unreal.

Nope, still not working.

Have you tried GpsTest?

Oh, no...what's that? Is it something built in or is it an app I have to install?
EDIT:
Copilot has a GPS Status thing built in. Looks like I can only see one satellite. Kind of weird.

Are you outside or inside some building?

GPS works fine for me in both Google Maps and TomTom Navigator. Indoors is not so great, but whilst in a car it was fine all the way home on a 30 minute journey!

I'm in my house, my Kaiser right next to it is working fine.

GPS isn't supposed to work indoors... If you need it indoors, you may also need to be living in a psychiatric ward. :\
I got full signal in front of my house according to OCN8's little GPS status bar, for those who care.

As mentioned earlier, QuickGPS will help (hopefully as it has been useless for me since Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs started to be cooked)
BUT
You need to give it time first to aquire GPS fix alone THEN go back to your PC to download the QuickGPS data
To make sure you have everything afterwards successful,
reboot your PDA and see if you can aquire a faster fix.
You can test with GPSTest attached here.
If it didn't solve your problem, check with other fellow Raph holder their Radio versions and yours.
If you are to flash, do not forget to HardSPL your device.
Good luck and give us more feedback

@fireblade63
I'd say the notification volume in Garmin is about the same as it is in the Kaiser, so I agree - it's certainly not the loudest, but I'm someone who likes the Sat-Nav turned down a bit anyway. I hate having the things shouting at me, especially if there are other people in the car who I'm trying to talk to.
My father-in-law, on the other hand, could never cope with the Garmin / Raphael combination because he turns his TomTom XL up to full volume, which drives me mental on the odd occasion I have to experience it!
So, no, the Raphael is no louder as far as I can tell.

best clock software

Hi,
first off, pls don't bit my head off, as I have already i've search the forums and googled; found a couple apps here and there but nothing fits exactly my need.
Just would like to ask, what clock software you are using for your device? My device is a o2 zinc and i've been using chronos for quite sometime now but Im having probelms lately. i've tried the default alarms but i'm having intermittent problems too; sometimes it works, sometime it does not
Basically, my needs for the clock software is, it has to have a "Every half an hour" chime and scheduled restart capability, and off course a good old realiable alarm for wakeup(nothing fancy, just the rooster.wav will do ). Many thanks in advance...

thank you for your prompt reply. i think i have tried this already before but let me check it again...

[Q] How can I definitively remove this tiresome bug ??

Hi, I am new on forum and on Nexus S, but not with ROMS
I love this phone, but since I bought it, I have a strange bug. Maybe it appears because I did with "rom toolbox pro" a full backup of apps on another smartphone (acer liquid metal) and now I restored all apps on Nexus S.
this is the bug: sometimes (normally when I'm writing a message, or simply using virtual keyboard) it appear the "open as..." window, where I can choose to open it with gosms pro or gmail.
I tried to open it with both programs, and after this window, on gosmspro the text message is about the bug report, with 2 attached files: 1 .txt files with description of bug (but it's too long, approx 4 mb of .txt!!!) and 2 a .jpg screenshot of bug (but in the image there is simply the lock screen).
In gmail it appears the same thing. But I can't understand where is the problem or where the bug starts, so I ask you how can I find it.
I tried also to uninstall some apps (like gosms, also deleting app data) but without progresses.
If you like it, i can post the screenshot of the bug, or also the .txt or .jpg files in the bug report.
Now I'm using the CM10 , and I had the same problem with Skank ROM.
Please help me, I never found an answer on the web to this tiresome bug. : /
thanks guys and thanks for your BIG work !!!

Wipe data and start fresh. That's what you get for backing up apps. Bugs.

Yes good idea but I would found another road first to do that: I' ll lose at least 2 hours re-installing everything.....
oh, another problem doing manual installations: all saves will be lost! so I prefer to show you .txt files for now....I think you ' ll understand

Absolutely. But from experience, it's a good idea to wipe clean once in a while. I usually do it every few months to keep the problems at bay. Sometimes you'll spend more time trying to fix an issue than it would take you to restart from anew, and even if you end up fixing it that's only an issue you see. You aren't fixing udnerlying problems...

So does anything actually crash or is it just this that pops up?

uhm, at the beginning i had 5-6 crashes, but I'm sure that it was linked to the overclock. In fact, when I put 1200 mhz, I was a noobie in that (because I came from smartphones that NEED overclock to have a fluid and rapid system), and when I reset it to 1000 mhz, it never did me another crash no more.
So yes, the bug is only this popup. I know isn't a little bug, but with the passing of times, it appears more and more times, so it's tiresome.
ah, few seconds before bug, the phone vibrate 3 times (everytime).
I'm using a plastic gel cover.
ah, another little thing that I hear yesterday for the first time: the front speaker at the top, sometimes (also 2-3 times in a minute, don' t know if it do that always, as in lock screen) do a very low sound repeated for few seconds (it's hard to explain this, it seems a radio frequency as "toctoctoctoctoc")...sorry for this onomatopea but maybe its' helpful for understanding what I mean

...any news from the .txt that I sent you ?

Take off your case for a whole day, don't put it on your phone. Tell me if it still happens during that day.
I can nearly assure you, up to 99.9%, that your problem will stop.
I know it sounds crazy, but do it. You can thank me later.

OMG that was the problem !??!?
Incredible!!
my last smartphone had similar problem (microphone of acer liquid metal won' t work well with case)!!
but now the case seems to create a worst problem!! I can' t believe that this simple accessories can made theese problems ( considering that technology should give us better phones in every kind of way)....
NEWS : today, for the first time, telephone crashes 2 times: it never happens since my last OC (2 weeks ago) !!
I hope that case was problem for bug and also crashes!!

Tell me if the bugmailer problem seems fixed after using it for a while.
Edit: I don't believe the crashes are related however. I'll tell you the magic behind the bug mailer after you tell me if it's fixed!

ok I'll say you in 2 days!
however, for crashes, I think I did a bull**** using a bad app called "cache fixer", because I used to free memory with my old phone.
If I see crashes again, I' ll wipe the phone.

OMG!!! you seems to have reason (fortunately) !!!
I'm nearly sure to have fixed this, now I wanna know the magic trick!!
How a technologic phone can be shocked by a simple plastic gel ?!?!
I guess that answer it's or the semi-pressure of volume/on-off buttons, or somethink linked to the temprature (with cover it increases). Right ?
Other things: for now, no other crashes, but the strange silent rumor on the top of the headspeaker sometimes appears. Can the phone record this low sound on the top? So you ' ll understand what I mean...
for now... thanks!!

Your phone case presses on VOL +, VOL - and POWER all at the same time. That's a developper feature.
You can "disable" it by turning off USB debug but I highly suggest either fixing your case if possible or getting another one that doesn't press those buttons for no reason.
Edit: I have no idea what you are talking about for the other issue though.

themes=lag?

hey guys, yesterday i bought a new galaxy S6, so far everything is smooth and fast, i heard that applying a theme can cause lag...is this true? because if it does then i dont wanna change my stock theme...

Is it really that hard to apply a theme and test it yourself? Some people are really ridiculous...

no its not hard, but if someone already tried that then they can give some feedback...if you cant help then do not comment

I mean, you have the phone in hand right? You couldnt take the 5 seconds out of your time to try it yourself? Instead you thought it'd be better to be ridiculed as you wait several minutes, even hours or days until someone tells you something you could have confirmed yourself?

Maybe he's afraid once you change themes, even if you go back, the lag will stick.
Why is everyone on xda so damn quick to bash people for asking questions?

just like the two guys above me said...i have my reasons to ask...and again if you cant help then do not comment...i am not waiting for people like you to help...i am not new here...and every time i ask something they answer....

Installing a theme causes a bunch of lag during the install process itself (under the covers there are like 20 apks getting installed). I've always applied themes right after installing them, so any for any lag after that it's hard to say if it's left over from the install or is from the application. In any case, after a reboot I haven't noticed any lag.

how long do you have your phone? because on pocketnow.com they said there S6 started lagging after a week with a theme...and they made a poll about this...they think its because of the themes....
