I was trying to look around but could not find an answer.
I am on the Sprint TP stock ROM.
The device comes with AGPS disabled. It can be activated by downloading cabs from this forum as well as registry hacks and Advanced config tool from XDA forum.
But can I activate it from the stock software, without any hack or downloads? The devices I used before (BB, iphone) would enable AGPS by default, so that even if there is no satellite signal (indoors), you can still get approximate location from the cell towers.
I cannot figure it out for the HTC. Why do they disable it by default?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Is there a button which will disable data only on the HD2 or an app to the same. I am taking my HD2 abroad and dont want to be charged for data especially for hidden items like weather updates etc
Look at the sticky mods and tweaks thread, man.
Also, BsB Tweaks does this.

The sticky has only data connection disconnect, not disable. B&S has disable but it is not a toggle button (requires 3 taps!)...
To my knowledge there isn't a button for this. I have requested this in several places but nothing happened yet. I too am interested in this!
You may try this this:

This software offers a good manila style UI and button for you to terminate active data connection in addition to disable data connection just as Nodata. You may also try to set a time to terminate inactive connection.
dont work on htc hd2
i dont get this app to work on my hd2,
the connection timeout dont work
anyone know why?

Yes, up to the latest version 0.4 the software still does not terminate inactive connection after the set timeout.
However it works just like Nodata but with better UI. Wish the developer may further dig the way to terminate inactive connection. Thanks you for the developer's work.
Hey dudes,
im sure many of you already know this, but i figured id post it for those who may not be aware of this possible fix.
for the last few days ive been playing around with igo8 on my HD2, and i have been a little disappointed with the way this program performs. i have had lots of trouble getting a GPS lock, and frequently getting the "gps receiver cannot be found", message while trying to detect the devices GPS.
i think i may have a solution for any of you experiencing the same issue.
my solutions is to disable AGPS, in the HTC's Locations seetings menu.
after doing this, i have had great success getting a GPS lock - even indoors.
hope this helps a few of you.
cheers.
------------EDIT-------------
ps: i also have my GPS settings (in igo8) set to Port 4, with a Baut Rate of 38400.
i get a GPS fix within half a second of opening the igo8 map screen.
good luck.
no problem man. i figured id just make a post for those who may have been searching (or googleing) for "igo8" or "gps receiver cannot be found" rather than the specific "AGPS" setting. i spent quite a bit of time searching for everything excpet AGPS... seeing as though i had no idea AGPS was the cause of my problem.
so i thought i make the post for peeps in my situation, and also just to confirm that this AGPS thing might be an actual fix.
thanks for the reply dude.
ps: i dont mean my reply to sound like an A-hole, just wording it as simple as i can.
cheers.

Hello
can't find disable AGPS, in the HTC's Locations seetings menu
using miri 6.5.X V6
can you explain more or screen shot
hey mate. just gotta go to htc settings screen > location > then hit the on/off switch on the right. check the screen shot.
The agps part is missing on my 1.66 wwe rom. Is there something I am missing?
not too sure mate. if its a custom ROM, the ROM chef may have removed the AGPS feature. otherwise its possible your ROM simply does not contain the AGPS service.
if you cannot see it, and your ROM does not have it... then it shouldnt be causing any problems. are you having difficulty with your SatNav program?
I also don't have that setting in my official htc 1.66 NLD rom. Is there any other way to disable it? I kind of am curious if it improves my iGO8. Although I don't really have a problem. Only sometimes it takes a minute or two to get a fix.
Port Issue
Hi all,
i have an issue in finding the GPS signal as when i go the customize the external GPS under settings i assign the COM2 under Programs and the port to COM9 with Baud Rate 4800 and under access clicked the Manage GPS Automatically, then when i press on ok and go to get the GPS signal on iGO it cannot be located ...
i go back to external and found that the port is NONE...put it back to COM9 click OK and check it back ...it turns to NONE............installed new official ROM, cooked ROMs, other radios and even other GPS like Route66 and navigon but always the same problem cant get the GPS signal.......
any help
Cobrav... in your "external gps" settings, try set your GPS program port to COM4, the hardware i believe is irrelevant, because you are not plugging an external GPS device in (so set your GPS hardware port to 'none), and have 'manage GPS automatically' checked in the access tab. this is how i have my device set (having igo8 set to the port and baud rate from the first post), and with AGPS disabled... igo works like a charm. let me know if you have any further problems.
Cenobite_ & Agoattamer... not too sure why the AGPS service is not visable or present in your ROM. but if your not experiencing any crippleing problems with your SatNav apps... i wouldnt worry about it. the problem i was having with igo8 before disabling AGPS was making igo8 almost unuseable. one thing you can try though... in a file explorer, navigate to your devices windows folder (having all show hidden files settings checked) look for a .EXE file called AGPSSettings.exe. if this exists, run this .EXE and disable the AGPS setting. if this .EXE does not exist, its probably pretty safe to assume that there is no AGPS service on your phone, hence it will not cause any issues for you.

thank you,
don't have this setting in miri 6.5.X rom
any way I turn around this issue by launch OZI and after GPS locked I close OZI and launch IGO
Actually I have no issue connecting with iGO8. Just curious why the setting wasn't there in my official 1.66 rom. Phone is labeled as having agps but not one setting for it. So I don't know if it is off or on. Now I don't live in a big city but it would be nice to be able to enable it if entering a big city with many tall buildings.
What rom do you have, that you have this setting?
im using the stock Telstra ROM - 1.49.841.1 (71528) WWE.
so it seems my ROM is older than yours.
Thanks. I actually have a T9193. HTC must have felt the need to do away with that setting for some reason.
agreed. i also have the T9193, but it seems theyve omitted the AGPS setting/feature in the more recent ROMs. good call HTC.
Hi all,
1.
I have created an application to test my GPS module on my device.
It works well thus far. However, I wonder if there is any possibility can enable
the GPS module without manually.
Here is the scenario, when i execute the application installed on my android
phone, if my GPS is disabled, a dialog will pop up to request the user to enable
the GPS module. Then the screen will turn into the GPS setting option, the user
needs to enable the GPS module manually.
Is there any possibility to enable the GPS module automatically when I execute
my aps on android? I was trying to google it but all reply is this behavior
involves the security issue so that there is other way to do it.
2.
I have an application which can help me test the wifi connectivity.
Again, it works well.
However,is it possible to transfer a file or send data using something like netperf? It is valuable to test this as Tx can use more power and I want to make sure it is functioning well.
Any reply is highly expected.
Thanks all
Can someone please guide me a direction to go?
Any reply will be very appreciated.
Any thought's on how I could automate a daily reset of my Infuse's A-GPS data?
I am referring to functionality similar to GPS Status app's feature "menu:Tools:Manage A-GPS state:Reset" .
I never know when or how long my infuse's GPS is going to take to grap a satellite fix BUT it does work if I reset the A-GPS state every few days via GPS Status app. I'd like to automate this so I don't have to do anything.
( Note: I've tried everything I could find to fix my Infuse's GPS issues and this is the only way that has worked, albeit temporarily (I've even returned one Infuse).
thanks. )
