hi man!!
you´re only testing gps with google maps?
first thing that you should do its download from the MARKET the "GPS status.apk"
and then run it and wait for a GPS FIX.. later... post here your results for too see the problem
how many sats found?
how many time for to fix gps?
and some information that you see in the app.
remember to remember to leave the mobile in a flat and straight surface outdoors
see you soon

hey,
thanks for your help !
but i could "fix" it. I read somewhere that it need much much time the first time you use GPS and so i let him search a few minutes and hey...i've got a signal now
and after that first time its quite fast.

you need to install ArcsoftMMS as a cab because I don't use MMS and I had a pool in the development and hacking forum and it looks like most people never use MMS.
Hi Gullum!!
After some days of use is time to report feedback :
- For some reason changin from landscape and backwards is done a lot slower than on the previous ROM I was using (Itje's Touch-It).
- Some problems when trying to toggle wifi from the comm manager. The curious part is that Throttle toggles do work perfectly...
- There are some app's I miss but I can install them form Cabs . (BS to OC the device for example).
- I miss your Diamond keyboard (okay.... it's a herald but.... ).
So... the only little thing anoying of the ROM is the first point. Other than that it's working surprinsingly good for a first (the previous one didn't count as you do it without testing device) beta. Congrats!!!
Keep up good work!

I have been bussy this weekend released the kaiser version of the rom then a funeral and a wedding.
I also found that the hardware keyboard is driver depending so I had to download all the languages version I could find for Herald and dump all thoese rom to get the drivers.... but I will work on the roms during this week so by weekend I guess to have all 12 languages ready and maybe I can get Czech too.
sorry for the late replay.
so THATS why it takes so long.... I always thought the keyboard was kinda "plugnplay", but i guess not (it should be), and the fact that you are doing all 12 languages....... dang. Nice, man.
and also, you should know that 100% of funerals are caused by life and 100% of divorces are caused by marriage.
I will start uploading tonight and post links when I have uploaded all 12 version.
Any screenshots ?
Please ! Let me take a look at it.... =)

Google Maps error

I searched to see if anyone posted and they didnt.
I go to www.google.com/gmm and it says "sorry, google maps does not work on your htc touchdual".....

I dont have any GPS software on my device, that sucks!

THANKS!
I have a better idea. Why don't you check out this thread chock-full-o applications for the Diamond. Scroll down and you'll find Google Maps and you may find other things that interest you as well. As the Diamond is very similar to the Touch Pro it should work. I got my iGo nav software up and running by reading a thread posted in the Diamond forum. So if you don't find what you're looking for over here, try over there. You may also want to try Windows Live Search. I believe the url is wls.live.com which you can download directly via your s...l...o...w... EDGE connection. Let us know how it works out.

thank you!!!!
i got it on my device but it will not show my location, it says looking for satelite.
tnx again
Also, if you're trying to download from www.google.com/gmm, make sure you use pocket IE. if you go to that website using opera, it identifies itself as a desktop browser and hence you get the error.

If you haven't already then try doing this:
1) Run QuickGPS and download latest satellite data.
2) In Google Maps select Menu->Use GPS.
Be patient the first time, it will take longer than usual to acquire a signal the first time you use it. QuickGPS should help to acquire a signal faster. If you are having trouble then make sure you are outside or close to a window with a direct view of the sky to test it, but it will probably work in the interior of your home too.
Ok so I used Internet Explorer as suggested on the board and was able to load it with no problem.
Thanks again and hope this post helps someone else.

Titanium weather

Hi all
I am having problems when updating weather, it simply does not update, it conects to internet but on screen it´s stucked "conecting to accuweather"
even if I soft reset or deactivate and reactivate titanium weather stills the same.
City code it´s ok and this problem just started today, before it was upgrading perfect.
I haven´t installed or uninstalled or changed any config on my Uni
Anyone have a clue of what can be the cause of my problem?
Thanks in advance,
Doesn't work for me either.
Strange because I can´t find any logic reason, sometimes it works great, even with auto update, and sometimes it´s just stock at conecting accuweather...
Hope someone can give us a clue here!
was having porblems with today stuff, made a HR and I'm going to try again- I'll keep you posted.
Cheers
Thanks ultravox
Waiting your comments regarding this,
Having same problem.

he he he, I'm a step behind, my city code is not correct, lol

wow!
Yes you are!
My city code is perfectly but no logic behaivour as I said...
Hope dies at last!
I just might give up on Titanium weather and use SPB Mobile Shell 3.0, it's a real pleasure to run and weather on it works like a dream, but a bit of a memory hog, so once I get 128Mb upgrade, there will be no stopping me. Hehe.
Paisa search a lil more...
you will see that some older versions of weather dont has the patch...
Thats because accuweather has change the server... so try to find that patch as is... there are plenty or newer weather titaniums by showaco... try reinstalling it... or apply the patch if you have a duplicated plugin disable the old with a titanium customizer.
Hope works for you all.

Gracias,
Sorry guys, mine is working fine. Has been since installed Tomals 6.5. I don't understand the problem. There must be something you've installed prior that conflicts after a time.
roloracer send me his working mortscript, I´m doing some tests and report back, he consider that maybe with that can be solved the problem.
After some trial and error, I just found out that after installing titanium weather it should be updated(the mortscript).
Now it's working fine. no errors here.
Update
Well I figure out that where I live signal is sometimes very low, or even 0 signal, so if automatic updater starts when there is no signal it gets stucked at "conecting accuweather"
As I´m now traveling to an area where signal is very good no problem has presented to this moment.
That is only a suposition and not sure about it, but till now updater is working well
I´ll keep you posted

Hm, i guess it is also problem with me. I was traveled today in city and there was no problem with stucking on connecting accuweather.
So perhaps there is a problem when titanium weather can not find signal to update, some kind of error.
I tried to deactivate the automatic update but I can´t, every time I unselect the box, save and exit, if I enter again it´s activated again...
Hope anyone can advice!
Cheers,
And... What about JMLToday? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540413
I'm using it, and it's working OK.
It's possible to customize (Haven't tried yet)

Thanks for the tip ultravox
I´m doing some tests with titanium weather and as long as I have good signal to do update my problem is solved!
Anyway perhaps I test your recommendation
How are your experiences with it?
Cheers,

looking for GPS tracking application

Dear all,
I'm looking for the GPS (tracking?) application where I can load the waypoints (gpx?) and then follow them from one point to the next one.
Thanks for suggestions!
BLIND ? Lost the Search button ? Get this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670116
Hi, I'm not sure if you read my post or just the title...
I cant find the way to load the waypoints (route) into the application you suggested and then to follow it. That app is very nice and can log the track as you move but I couldn't find the IMPORT/LOAD waypoints option.
If you're experienced with this app please correct me if I'm wrong.
Do you mean an aplication for Geocaching ?
Look for GCz. http://www.nicque.com/PQz/GCz.htm
Thanks Didibochum,
I've checked the GCz - it's not exactly what I meant but if nothing else is there then I'll use that one.
I'm looking for something like the garmin outdoor devices where one can set the route to be followed by placing the waypoints and then the program gives the direction and distance to the nearest waypoint. Once the waypoint is reached it automatically points to the next one in list and so on.
Sorry pepesz !
Now I get it, You want it the other way round Planning a route and then exporting to HD2 and follow the route .............
Maybe this one could be for You ?

Can anyone tell me if the HTC HD2 in airplane mode still allows connection to gps so I can use Igo on a flight?
Try out NoniGPSplot. It looks pretty outdated, but it's worth a try and to buy. I use it a lot a least

Yes, GPS works in flight mode
Look here for a list of airlines which alllow GPS receivers.
I took some tracks last week from Greece to U.K. using GPS Cycle Computer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424423
The only problem is getting a GPS lock through the aircraft skin/small windows
It can take a while to get a lock but, once you do, the HD2 stays locked pretty well, even a meter from the window

X2 / Star X2 MTK6575

This thread is about the "star one X2" or X2 mtk6575 phone.
It's one of the cheapest android 4.0 Chinese phone with mtk6575
As there is no topic about this phone I will start one !
1) The phone
star one X2 mtk6575 review
System
OS Android 4.0.3
CPU MTK6575
ROM 4GB
RAM 512MB
Screen
Display Size 4.0Inch
Type Capacitive touch screen
Resolution 800 x 480 pixels
Screen Color 260K Colors
It's a pretty good phone for the price (around 150 Usd). Battery last quite long, it's fluid.
I bought mine on antelife http://www.antelife.com/free-shipping-newest-x2-mtk6575-4-0-inch-screen-800-480-android-smartphone-with-os-android-4-0.html
Great website, with great customer service !
If you want any info, just ask
2) Usb drivers
I tried some drivers for mtk6575 but didn't work so I installed wandoujia
it is a Chinese program that almost recognize every Chinese phone and install drivers for it !
As I do not have 10 posts on the forum I cannot share the link but google it.
I uninstalled it after because I do not understand chinese, but it seems to be a great program, with which you can install lots of app (chinese app) that are not on the market.
3) Root
The easiest way to do it is with superoneclick !
It didn't work for me (stuck at step 7) so i used another tool that I found on these forum for the zopo 100
i had to restard my computer several time and launch again and again but it finally worked
Hope this thread can help some people
Hope customs ROM will arrive !
4) Stock firmware !
thanks to antelife.com customer service here is a link with stock IMG and some tools !!

Star B79
Here it is:
http://www.chinaphonereview.com/star-b79
I have one! I really liked, but asked to waranty switch because the GPS was not working well ... had an error 5-200 m. : (Sometimes was ok, sometimes was 200m of the place where i was ...
Someone with the same problem?
Any ideas?!
Thanks
it's not the same model in fact,
not the same screen and not the same camera
One the X2 i do not have any pb of gps
Is there any topic about Star B79
no, but b79, x310e and X2 are similar phones. So we can group them in the same topic or just create another one, as you wish.
It it is for your gps pb here is what I have :
- geolocalisation and maps work well and fast with data (3g or wifi)
- if I turn off data if have no geolocalisation but I can load the map (even with the gps off so I don't really understand)
Greaves,
Regarding 2) USB Drivers:
There's now an English-language version of Wandoujia. It's called SnapPea and is available for free at SnapPea.com
Would love to hear your feedback--I know that's been a pain point for users with Chinese Android phones!

Today I purchased this product should reach me next week!
In the meantime, I found your comments and hope you continue to add news to your phone!
Have you found any problem? Or does it? For me it is important that the GPS works perfectly, you've got to try it with some browser? I noticed you added a link where there is the possibility to update the rom already, tell me what improvements to make? Have you already tested? Aspect of your news

i've just received this great phone.
I'm satisfied with the performance, screen and the touch pad.
I just wonder is there any official firmware/custom rom available yet?
If i'm not asking too much it will be great if there is a repartition fix also.
hello,
I have no pb with the phone except that the gps needs my 3g to be on to work (I use google maps).
The link is not for an update rom but for the rom that is already on your phone. It should help to do custom rom but as I don't know how to do it I don't know if there will be any

This means that the GPS does not work offline? It means that if you install a browser such as sygict Mobile with integrated maps, does not work? If so is a big problem!

I got my Star One X2 last week, have exactly the same problem. I put Route66 (Navigaiton + maps) from andoid market its an offline navigator I just found. I put the same software on a Samsung Galaxy s2. Put both devices on the dashboard on the highway. Turned off WiFi and Data. It seemed equal for a while both were navigating the same way, but as soon as I passed a small village, the X2 would get out of track and show me in the woods or off-roads, while I was driving 130km/h, but the S2 continued just fine. It got back on track after the village was gone. Inside the town, it would jumb to different roads. So there has to be a problem with manucaturing. I just sent an request to the eBay seller asking for repair.....
Did you get any feedback on yours?

See my comment below, it works offline, but there is a precision problem.
I think its a hardware problem... i got a new unit and the problem is the same!
The solution is keep the internet connection off (gprs, 3G, wifi) and it works ok. The problem my apear again when you receive o phone call... the solution is turn The gps connection off and on again...
This is my Expirience... any ideas or solutions?

Thank you, my x2 has problems with the GPS, the wrong position 2-500 m.
In addition, each time using the GPS, after work with difficulty, almost blocked for 5 minutes. I'm going to contact the vendor for help, but if you could solve with a cooked rom and instructions for assembly, it would be great! (sorry I'm a little more than a rookie)
