Hello guys,
Lately im having reception problems on my GPS so wanted to help buying an external antena so:
Just wondering if the connector we can se at the back of the P3600 is a GSM or GPS connector? Because on the HTC website they seem to sell the navigation pack with antena but i cant seem to get just the antena for this phone.
If it is a GPS external connector what type is it mcx or mMCX???
Or im i having reception problems no one else seems to get?
Thanks for your help.
Hello it's GSM connector
jcinfo, thank you for that. No point of wasting money on something thats not going to help me.
Any ideas how to improve the GPS quality?? I cant remember which ROM i installed as it was a long time ago, i think it was the 4.11, if that makes sense.
Thank you
GSP is very long for fix, dont move when you run it !
No idea for improve the signal .
i think antenal's trinity is very sensitive, it can see more satellites. however the fist time to fix is still slower because the chipset buit-in isn't perfect, its doesn't have the SIRFinstandFix the same as SIFR III to improve the time to fix.
to solve this problem, can't connect the GPS external antenal, it maybe is rom radio or drive or a chipset's solution.
Use 1.56 radiorom. Gpsfix will be around 45 - 60 sec.
well, i also have a gpsslim 296 (external GPS based on sirf star III and communicating by bluetooth) which outperforms the internal GPS even without AGPS or quickgps in all aspects: resolution, number of sats, fix speed. Since they probably cost like a gps antenna...
Hi all..
I am trying to but an external gps bluetooth receiver for vox via a friend in the US . . can you please tell me which is THE BEST model~make within 100$ .. i dunno much about the latest technology in receivers... if u can please leave some information as to wat all to look for in a bluetooth gps reciever... thanks ...waiting for replies....
I can't speak as to which GPS receiver is the best, since I have only owned 1 and have not even tried another one, but I guess that says something too. I have a Holux M-1000 bluetooth gps receiver, that I bought off ebay for about $40 or so about 8 months ago. It has never failed me, only losing reception where all other gps's lose their reception (parking garages, basement, elevators, etc.), and actually has much better reception than my other gps PNA's.
I believe it can connect to 30 or so satellites, and has battery life of about 16 hours for me for it's rechargeable battery. It's not bad, and it is cheaper, cost-wise, than some other more expensive receivers.
Hey guys,
So I finally got TomTom software and SA maps ported onto my HTC. Now I wanna know, Its kinda retarded to buy a GPS when my phone has all the functionality, just cant search for satellites. Would I be able to buy a normal GPS receiver and use that to grab the GPS satellites, pair it with my phone and use the maps that I have installed on my phone
Thanks
Unless your phone has a GPS chip, your best solution is a bluetooth GPS puck.
They go for anywhere from $30-60 US.

Thats what I wanna get the receiver for though. Surely that would have the chip... all im doing with my phone is running the software, which enables me to pair the device via Bluetooth
Getting a GPS is a bit pricey for me, they start retailing at about R2000 here in SA
I bought a second hand Royaltek 2100 for about 25 dollars and I absolutely love it....I als had an other PNA GPS with the same chip, same channels but compared to the RBT 2100 it's a pain. It takes 4-5 minutes on cold fix for satellites while the RBT 2100 takes about 20 seconds..
Just ordered a GPS receiver, lets see if its any good and if it works with TomTom software....
Thanks for the help guys
Are there any Apps out there that will let us use our android phones as a Bluetooth GPS for our tablets?
Yes, and there are many threads explaining how to do it.

But it will eat you phone batter up pretty fast. I opted for an external BT GPS.
I went out and got the 300$ from att (i have sprint) because the non gps was 250 so isaid why not get gps for 50 more and a mic and speaker. ..but guess what u cant use gps WITH OUT A SERVICE PLAN. The gps is useless... doesnt work for anything. Nike app doesnt use the gps. Ill try a health and see... i have network off with gps on. Anything that can use GPS asks for service connection... really sucks if you ask me.
Samsung must fix this. Its pointless having gps tied behind a carrier pay wall. Seeiously im super upset about this. Huge bummer. I dont want to carry my phone on me for runs to have gps when it already inside the watch .....
Even with the service plan GPS is not good enough. I did 4 walks and runs so far with different results from my runkeeper running on Galaxy S4 smartphone. Not sure if it is a software issue or GPS chip or reception issue.
