My new Tx1001Au tablet

I have been dreaming about the HTC Shift so much I could not wait. I bought this HP Tx1001Au tablet until I can get my hands on one.

The touch screen is perfect. It works the same way as a ppc but requires a firmer touch to activate. The touch screen software (I think provide by HP not vista) is done to perfection. In the past i have found tablets unusable because of the rigmarole of entering text on a regular basis. This baby knows exactly what I want to do before I do. The sip can be a keyboard or word recognition. The word recognition is light years ahead of what we get on windows mobile devices. I can write naturally in running writing at my speed in a messy way and it almost always gets it correct. When it gets something wrong it can be edited on the fly without having to go back and re-write the text.
The processor (AMD Turion 64 bit x 2 core at 2 Ghz ) is capable of matching all my needs. The ram is a low 1Gb but I will buy 2Gb in the next few weeks.
The finger print scanner makes password storage and use convenient (if you trust Verisign).
The wifi is also done well. It connects to my network in around 2-3 seconds, a lot faster than my other machines running XP.
The one big downer is the overhead that Vista ladens the system with. This machine operates almost exactly the same as my last computer and that was only 1.2 Ghz. The extra 800Mhz is swallowed up by vista and all its paranoid DRM obsession. The aero desktop also slows it down considerably as does the user account control. If I turn off aero and UAC the thing noticeably jumps in speed and becomes generally more responsive in every aspect from tap recognition to opening files.
Vista has also crippled many of my favorite programs. PeerGardian2 the best privacy tool around does not work at all in vista, leaving windows free to phone home any time I connect to the internet. UAC stops programs such as WinRar from integrating into the shell correctly, another reason to turn off UAC.
Definitely worth buying and compares well with other similarly priced laptops.

Please send it to me.

one cool thing is that vista hooks up with my hermes bluetooth so seamlessly.
I just had to push a few buttons then type *99# and I was online. My phone has a faster connection than my home ISP. I am posting this using my 3 connection and writing in cursive using word recognition. It has not got one word wrong so far.
The only negative using the phone as a modern is that if I let the power go off it crashes after about 5 minutes and requires a reset. That kind of sucks because it means the screen chews through power faster even if the back light is off
If this is the future of mobile devices then PPC will be dead within a few years. kind of sad.

Well I am kind of drooling here, stuck with my poor P4 2.8 / 512MB.
Then again I am don't have to go anywhere near vista. (In fact yesterday I installed Ubuntu and now waiting to see if it really can replace the XP, probably not since I need eVC 4 and VS 6)
Still great gadget! Have fun with it and who knows - maybe HP will take a hint from Dell and drop Vista as well.

If you like this thingy, you're not going to like the Shift. It's stuck with a rather lame VIA processor, which your Turion DC outperforms by tens of times. The only thing you'll love the Shift for is that it'll have a better battery life compared, and the phone stuff is built-in.
(And worse still is that the Shift "rocks" Vista. If XP can only run *decent* on a VIA C7M 1.0, I can only imagine what Vista will do to it.)

OMG these are so hot on the market right now!

GPS

Hi.
I know this might already be confirmed but I did a simple logging on com4 and found that the gps i really there. Will go out later today and test it again but this time outside. I attach the logging to.
One more thing, it´s kinda strange the gps is always on, atleast htc could disable the gps for real if they´r not gonna use it. The battery time would increase alot.

GPS is enabled, how more i read about it it has to do with something like no antenna is connected. When i use the GPS test tool it finds a GPS on com4 and have one sat in screen.

lol
to cold here to go outside, put mine by the window the other day and got one sat with GPS test.

Here is mine, I found also one sat, it was inside the house before the window. GPS is working but its no sensitive enough, could be no antenna.

Where can I get the software to access the GPS? Sorry for the simple question, I've been looking around online and can't find it.

Thanks. I only get one satellite as well.

Im very happy!! 1 sat. is better than no sat.
hope we can get GPS running for real.. soon

As jockyw2001 also wrote: We need pics of the inside of S730, both pre-production (with antenna) and current production model/or service manuals of Kaiser and s730. Then we will be able to see how the antenna looks like and where is it connected.
Idea!!
Is it possible to make (by HTC) the hardware switch on s730 board, which is disconnecting the antenna?
Then, the antenna could exist and the new ROM could enable this feature in future.

gps
Is there anyone here in the forum that actually has GPS working and getting a few sat signals etc.
it will be intresting to see if there is any difrerences in there registry. If someone has it working can they post the reg. info so we can compare.

GPS is not always on. It has some power saving timeout and 'wakes up' when communication port is openned and GPS data are read.
On the COM4 is not directly GPS, but GPS intermediate driver (someone knows it from PPCs), that allows more application can read from one COM port.

oh
something else i thought of is there a working driver for the gps on the phone or not? Im not really sure if it needs one.
Also i found a pdf of the msm7200 chipset. not that much to look at but you can see the gps etc and how its wired and i presume an antena at the end.
Follow the link http://www.3gchipsets.co.kr/download_library/pdf/msm7200_chipset.pdf

Here is a s730 with GPS:

yes it was a preproduction model. In the official models its not working. We need to find out what is difference between both models

I am still new to the smartphone world so I cannot be of too much help, but this is what i've seen thusfar;
With GPS Test I have gotten sats on com 2,4 and 7, every satellite I pick up is at 0 on the little map locator screen. The GPS tool never gets past GPS starting up, stays fixed at 1D and no other info gets downloaded.
My testing has been in very cloudy weather over the past few days here in Texas, today though its nice and clear so I hope to get more done. I played a little with the baud rate but nothing came of it. When I did pick up a sat it was gone in 10 - 20 seconds. I did at one point pick up two at once, both in the same direction. Overall I have seen 6 different satellites, only 2 at once, and all from the same location. Could be thats the only open direction I had for visibility at the time.
I do remember reading somewhere that the GPS chip had a small antenna actually built onto it. Hopefully we can get it working soon.

could you find out where you have read it?

This is one place, I cannot find the other place, it was their blog or one of those other sights that has a blog in playing with the pre production unit they talked about its processor and GPS... I'll try to dig it up.
Getting really annoying having the tool stay in "GPS starting up" mode none stop. Need to find the HTC version that the pre prod. phones were using or figure out how they nerf'd it.

Yes, I think I saw the same blog forum, but this blog is out now :/.

GPS Defect

I've recently bought a used Diamond and I've never had the GPS working. I've tested it with Tomtom 7 and the HTC GPS Tool but it will not find any satellites. Calling the HTC Service helpdesk they told me there are probably no satellites above this part of my country. Eventually I got through to them and they accepted my phone for repairs.
Now then, wednesday a week ago UPS came to get my phone and brought it to Eurotwice in Belgium for repairs. So I was pretty excited that my phone was getting repaired. Yesterday however my phone was returned and when I tested it, there still was no satellite discovery at all.
On the repair form it says the failure was: GPS defect. So you would think if they acknowledge that it is broken, they'd fix it. Now on the form it says they charged me for three things (which all were free of charge though):
- Sub-Assy to 82H,GENERIC,Navi pre-assy w/ keycap
- Administration, analysis, repair, test/transport
- Cable,MURATA,MXHP34HP0590TB,PL
Is there anyone out there that knows what they actually did to repair my GPS Defect, and when I'm going to call them again on monday I can best tell them?
My guess is they replaces the touchwheel, hence there was a new tape and protector on it.. but what the cable means..
Edit:
Looking in the service manual I now know what parts they replaced:

The Diamond/Touch Pro are known for horrible GPS performance. Does GPS Test find satellites but never actually connect?
Some very clever minds here on XDA were able to resolve this issue on the Touch Pro by using the GPS driver DLL files from the Blackstone. The downside? The files need to be cooked into a ROM, a CAB install doesn't work. Also, the ROM needs to be based on a 20xxx or higher ROM. The Diamond originally shipped with a 199xx ROM.
If your Diamond has HardSPL on it, check out the various GSM Diamond ROMs, find one with the updated drivers, and flash it. Your GPS should work just as good as the TyTN II.

No unfortunately it doesn't actually find any satellite at all, so it doens't even have something to connect to..
Should I then still try flashing with new ROMs as I don't have HardSPL on it now, seeing they flashed it back to factory standards.

I've had my Diamond for a couple of days now I can safely say that, reception wise, it has been the best HTC phone, compared to the Trinity & the Cruise I have ever used. I would have never thought these phones were plagued as GPS reception misfits. Huh.... reception is great under bridges and the lag is so minimal that its silly to even talk about it. Well at least mine is.

I've been testing my GPS some more with the HTC GPS tool and you can log the messages. Now I was wondering if anyone knows anything about these and if they can see my problem in them. You never know:
This is what gets repeated time after time and it never changes:
Code:
$PSTIS,*61
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66
$GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66
$GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E

Ensure A-GPS is disabled.

Why ? a - gps is good innit ...

No apparently it's not all that great. I've read everywhere on these forums to have it disabled which of course I did before posting here.

I have also problems to get a gps signal on my X1.
The HTC-GPS-Tool and also my offroad navigation software Glopus shows only this:
$PSTIS,*61
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66
$GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E

$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E
The X1 gps works fine since yesterday. I have done a hardware reset and tested the gps again with the same result. Could I do everything else or is it neccessary to repair the X1?

Here, Here My diamond is the best GPS Reciver i have had, It locks onto sats in less than 30secs with a warm start, and about 1m30sec from a cold start (after hard reset) lot better than my Artemis it takes about 5mins from a warm start and about 20mins from cold start

Absolutely make sure this is disabled. Prior to this bit of knowledge, the signals would lock and unlock in 2 sec intervals. After disabling this misfit feature, everything was solid again.
And yes, there are tweaks built into some roms that chiefs are beginning to cook in to improve accuracy and dependability.. Exa
Example ROM BY: carburano

Also the choice of radio determines how quick one gets the signal. I toggle between: 1.08.25.20 & 1.09.25.23

New to kaiser and built in gps, help appreciated

hello guys, im sorry to bother you all. i recently purchased a 8925 and im trying to setup the built in gps, i have no prior experience in this, so please bare with me. I have rom PC Ultimate v19 and radio 1.70.19.09 I have hardspl 3.29 and sim unlocked for use with T-mobile. If someone could help me out i would really appreciate it.

All the help you need is right up there on the search button. There is also a nub wiki in my signature or the normal wiki list up top.
That is all the info in the world regarding this phone and anything you want to know about it. The knowledge is there but you have to gain it.
If we were in the matrix it was be easy to download it all into your head.

well i did already search and what i basically found was to use quick gps and other simialr programs to speed up the search for satellites. I tried chagning the com ports as well as the baud rates and still no luck. what i was wondering is whether that radio i am using is incompatible or something? sorry again thanks in advance

Yeah so your post doesn't really outline problems. You really just state what you have and that you want help with gps.
Whats wrong with the gps?
I'm sure someone will disagree but if your phone is taking calls with no problems, playing music, taking nice photos (nice for the kaiser/tilt), and has decent battery life then you have a compatible radio.
I actually don't think the radio has anything to do with the GPS because it's 2 different antennas. (considering your phone can be off and still use GPS)
That was a long shot there.
as for radio roms, it is sort of hit or miss, the rom thread should have a suggestion of which radios to use and the rest is trial and error.
GPS takes a while on all the kaisers.

id first like to say i really appreciate your help, i dont mean to come off as a lazy bastard who wants others to do all the leg work. im just very frustrated because i cant seem to get anything to work. the problem is nothing is finding a lock. there are no sats found, at all. ive tried gmaps, windows live, gps test, quick gps, turbo gps, quick position and none of these help to get a lock. any ideas? thanks in advance

You really should be posting this over on the PDA V19 thread, there are more people to help you there. V19 is brand new and everyone over there is working together to tweak it. Abu. added a few GPS apps to this rom and would be more able to tell you how they work.

before i had this rom i had the phoenix rom installed, and it had teh same problem, which is why i thought it may be the radio.

I doubt it is the radio, but it only takes a few minutes to flash a radio. Just take a Saturday and a bunch of 6.1 compatible radios and start testing.
It probably has more to due with your area, clear view of the sky, GPS setting and patience .

ok so i just tried this program GPS gate and it solved my problem, thank you so much for all your help, i greatly appreciate it!

Try this
http://pocketmap.com/accessories/GpsViewer.exe
that is the original fix for starting the gps..

After Cyanogen, tomtom no longer detects G1.

I had RC33,
and upgraded (imo) to Cyanogen.
Im trying to pair with my tomtom G630, but no luck.
the phone sees the tomtom, shows as "paired but not connected"
the tomtom doesent even detect the phone though, despite the phone bluetooth being set to discoverable.
It worked fine before.
any ideas?

From what I know, I'm pretty sure Cyanogen mod fully supports all the BT features, maybe you got a bad flash. Check the md5sum and if its not right delete the file off your computer and redownload and wipe, wipe ext2, repair ext2 and wipe then flash.

man, i hope that's not it, everything else works absolutely perfect, tethering works beautifully.
Im more inclined to blame the damn tomtom than the G1 LOL

haha
Yeah, I use an app called CoPilot but its expensive so I recommend AndNav2
Its not that bad =]

I already bought the tom, and have updated the maps already once, so ive sunk about $400 into it, its not getting replaced any time soon.
Im racking my brain, but there just really isnt anywhere to go on this.
If i set the phone to be discoverable and run a scan with my laptop, boom its found, almost instantly.. So the phone IS discoverable, just not by the tomtom.

Ok, so now things have swerved far into the retarded lane.
My Macbook can detect the G1 just fine.
If I set the macbook to be discoverable, the tomtom will find it just fine.
so the G1 is boradcasting and can be discovered, and the tomtom is trying to detect and is detecting other discoverable devices..
but not the G1.

AH HA!!!

the trick (if you can call it that) was to do "connect to bluetooth device" not the scan for phone option.
WELL CRAP
I still cannot use tomtom traffic, says the G1 is not capable of wireless data or something to that effect.
poop.

aww haha, hmm maybe TomTom will update or a dev will code something to help out.
not sure, I don't have a car nor a tomtom lol

Please don't take this as me flaming, but did you say "Maybe TomTom will update their code"? No way! They are lazy when it comes to that, even when you have purchased their top of the line products, they just don't care. It is take it or leave it when it comes to their stuff. I had more luck working with Parrot, Cardo, and a few other companies who actually wanted to help make their products work, or at least listened to work-around ideas to help implement them.
I am stuck with a TomTom Rider 2nd edition for my 2 wheeled ride and it hates my G1 phone, all TomTom says is to deal with it or to get an older phone from their list of phones that are known to work. I even offered to pay for a new map upgrade and they said it was not enough. BTW, I had 2 GO910 models and they both took a crap in the first week. I had to fight with Circuit City to rectify the problem (even with the extended warranty). I ended up getting my money back since TomTom blamed me for having a car with a tight suspension and was not willing to fix the unit. This was on a Chrysler 300M with the touring package. When they told me that line I laughed so hard that I cried! Next time I'll get a GPS from a different company or just try the TeleNav program on the G1. I wish Google Maps read out turn by turn directions and stuff.
If you know linux, you might want to just try to hack into the GPS and work that puppy till it begs to connect to your phone.
