I got my Kaiser two weeks ago from Gitex Dubai and I noticed that the My Home time that I adjusted to be (GMT+2 Cairo ) is Changed automatically to ( GMT +2 Windhoek ) and every time I Set to +2 Cairo it comes back again to Windhoek
Any one has idea to fix this issue . thanks
ROM 1.56.405.5 Radio 1.27.12.11
dont you have activated automatic time zone switching?
there is no Automatic time zone in the setting menu
Start Menu > Settings > Telephone , there should be a tab for time zone automatic there., UNcheck it.
However, your story doesn't sound like a bug. Time in Cairo is the same as time in Windhoek.
My GUESS (it's just a guess, it might be wrong) is the Kaiser get the local time in your area (because of the option being selected). It does NOT get a time zone from the cellular network, just a local time. So the Kaiser just select one time zone that is concording with the local time, in this case : windhoek.
I have another bug with this feature though... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335427
Can you check is the appointments time are also in UTC+2 when UTC+2 Windoek is automatically selected ?
Hi there,
This topic is about my experience of configuring a-gps manually with a French operator. This may help others.
I installed a few day ago the last french official HTC ROM (see here)
My Diamond is SFR branded (French Vodafone), and after upgrading from the native SFR ROM to the HTC one, I felt a slowdown to get a good GPS signal for the apps I use: Googlemaps and iGo8. The signal also seemed less accurate.
I decided to investigate this way.
First of all, some elements that may be obvious for most of you, but reminding them does not hurt:
A-gps is a system that enhances GPS performance, by connecting to an a-gps server. As a matter of fact, this server makes use of cellular network signal to locate you faster. For further informations, see Wikipedia a-gps article.
AFAIK, a-gps is different from Quick GPS (see here) In particular, config values for a-gps and Quick GPS are located in different registry keys on Diamond.
Now let's get deeper into a-gps:
You can, once again AFAIK (and you'll correct me if I'm wrong ), use two kinds of a-gps server:
Your mobile vendor's server (i.e. HTC)
Your operator's server
I remembered that on some phones (at least Nokia N95), you have to define manually your a-gps server when using SFR network.
For Nokia, the problem is that the port used by the vendor's server is blocked by SFR WAP connection.
This is not the case of HTC a-gps server, since using HTC rom does not inhibit a-gps: it only seemed slower to me than with my SFR rom.
Here are the registry parameters for a-gps, on the original HTC ROM:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS]
"EnableAGPS"=dword:00000001
"ServerPort"=dword:00001C6B
"ServerIP"="10.1.101.63"
"QosPerformance"=dword:00000059
"QoSAccuracy"=dword:00000032
"TimeBetweenFixes"=dword:00000001
"NumberFixes"=dword:3B9AC9FF
"GPSMode"=dword:00000002
I guess "10.1.101.63" is the IP address of an HTC's a-gps server (?!)
I then downgraded to native SFR ROM, and here was the same key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS]
"ServerURL"="geoloc2.sfr.fr"
"GPRSConnection"="WAP SFR GPRS"
"Network"="WAP SFR GPRS"
"EnableAGPS"=dword:00000001
"EnabledPrivacyMethod"=dword:00000000
"CloseConfirmMsgTime"=dword:0000003C
"PrivacyMethod"=dword:00000000
"EnableLocInfo"=dword:00000001
"ServerPort"=dword:00001C6B
"QosPerformance"=dword:00000059
"QoSAccuracy"=dword:00000032
"TimeBetweenFixes"=dword:00000001
"NumberFixes"=dword:3B9AC9FF
"GPSMode"=dword:00000002
As you see, the server is defined with its URL, "geoloc2.sfr.fr" (known as one of SFR's a-gps servers), and some parameters are different.
Of course, you have to replace "WAP SFR GPRS" by the network connection you want to use.
I upgraded to HTC ROM again, and set the operator's rom values.
Now I've got the feeling that it's harder, better, faster, stronger (and more accurate).
By the way, QuickGPS is configured in the following key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS].
Note that, on SFR branded rom, this key does not even exist.
Hope this helps.
I've wondered why Quick GPS seems to replace the A-GPS feature on the diamond. QuickGPS doesn't seem to do a damn thing for me. From cold boot, I can stand in open air for 5 minutes until I even start to get a peek at a couple of satellites. How can we be sure that QuickGPS is even working at all?
I used to own a Nokia N95 that had the A-GPS feature, the GPS inside the N95 was pretty average. But with the A-GPS feature you could at least get a lock in under 10 seconds, every time. As long as you had configured your positioning server, (supl.nokia.com) and you had a data connection, then it was consistently under 10 seconds from cold boot. Without A-GPS it was more like 5 minutes plus, basically what I'm seeing on the diamond.
As people have noticed, using tools like Advanced Config to enable A-GPS breaks the GPS completely. Probably because of the missing settings such as you have outlined above, (I noticed these settings while poking around in the registry recently too). I wonder how we can find out what the server names for other countries are and get this working for eveyone.
Also, the IP address 10.1.101.63 is a private IP address so I guess that explains why it fails when you switch AGPS on, that address will never be contactable, so they must have used it for some kind of internal testing - but if it's working for you (with your new settings) then why did HTC choose to leave it broken for the other ROMS....
Well... Since I updated to this last HTC rom, QuickGPS "does work". I mean, it is an installed program, therefore available in "programs" list, and when I launch it, I can "download" data to update it. Though I don't have a cue of what use is made of this technology on Diamond.
I've always used Advanced Config to enable A-GPS, and it has always worked for me. But if it breaks the GPS, I guess you can do it from the registry by setting "EnableAGPS" value to 1.
I also tested a N95 8Go recently, and I had the same results.
But I'm not sure to understand your need: Diamond has both A-GPS and QuickGPS. I don't think QuickGPS is very efficient, but A-GPS is.
I do also think that setting the "ServerIP" value to "10.1.101.63" must work worldwide, since I bet this is HTC's a-gps server.
With this, GPS signal takes about 30 seconds to lock (at first use after soft-reseting, but may be under 10 seconds for next uses).
Did you give it a try?

Yes I have i too, and it connects and downloads data ok. But does it speed up a GPS lock? I don't think it does. I've hard reset and just run TomTom without QuickGPS and then with QuickGPS and I cannot for the life if me see any difference at all. In TomTom Satellite screen, you can see no data. If it was working, you should see all Satellite 'numbers' in their respective little boxes and then the tracking would begin almost immediately. But I'm not seeing this.

Many people have said that enabling A-GPS (via advanced config or direct reg edit) makes the GPS stop working completely i.e. never getting a lock. If you have got this working for you, as far as I know, you're one of the first! Lucky you!
But I'm not sure to understand your need: Diamond has both A-GPS and QuickGPS. I don't think QuickGPS is very efficient, but A-GPS is.

No that IP address is within a private non-routable range for internal private networks and cannot be reached from the internet. Read this if you want more info.
I do agree though on the A-GPS being better, and with my experience with Nokia phones A-GPS is excellent. I don't understand what it is that QuickGPS is trying to do, because there is nothing quick about it. I thought it would be similar to A-GPS (in how it actually works) but now I'm confused :/

Now that's the sort of time we all should expect when using an assisted/quick GPS aid to the actual GPS chip. It should be lightning fast. So to me it says QuickGPS is pretty lame, as everyone is using it by default in all ROMS and there are many many people complaining about the GPS not getting a lock at all. So it can't possibly be working properly. And if it is, it still sux.
I'm going to try and replicate those settings you have above on my Diamond and see how it goes. I'll post back shortly.
OK well I've put all those settings in, but still no luck. It is not working. I've been waiting several minutes and still cant even get a fix.
It's not out of the realms of possibility that SFR's A-GPS server can only be used by SFR customers. After all, they assign you your IP address when you connect to the web on your diamond so they could easily lock it down so that random people cannot use it. In fact that would make a lot of sense.
I think we're close, but I guess we need to find a SUPL A-GPS server that is open to the public, maybe? Or certainly at least find out if HTC has one that we can use that is accessible via the internet... Maybe someone else has some ideas?
you can try: "supl.nokia.com" instead of "geoloc2.sfr.fr"
Have you tried this, and what port does it use?
I'd been playing some more and found out having it enabled really screws things up - TomTom thinks it has a lock, then it doesn't, then it does, then it doesn't, etc. It's really bugging out. So I just switched it off.
I'm really interested to know though if A-GPS will help with the ongoing GPS-Lag/inaccuracies problem, some poeple have reported that the lag is fixed in the new OS builds floating around but I can confirm that it is not fixed - in fact it felt like it was worse!
This GPS is causing too many headaches!!!

I'm also in Australia and i'm having the exact issues as you in regards to GPS lag and inaccuracies, i do however get a fix quite quickly, first time after a ROM change it takes a while but after that its somewhere between 30 sec and 1 min 30. I have changed my rom many times updating to all the latest custom ROM's, still its inaccuracy remains, its about 40 metres off on my device. I live inhouse number 16 and yet it tells me I'm at house 20. Like WTF........
What a pain in the arse!!!!
I got ip adress of HTC aGPS server!
its the 64.14.59.165
you got to just change the htc stock server of the diamond to this and its working well for me.

Tell me about it. Mine is about 50m off 90% of the time, sometimes it looks like it might be ok. The other thing I noticed today is that the 'speedo' in TomTom i.e. the bit on the status bar that tells you how fast you're going - which is usually very accurate - still tells me I'm going 15km/h, then slowly counts down to zero anything up to 20 seconds after reaching a complete stop! I am starting to regret spending money on TomTom. But to quantify that, I don't blame THEM, I'm just pissed I've shelled out so much for the Diamond + TomTom and the fkng things dont work properly. We have to get to the bottom of this!

Yep, its all the same issues I'm having, but not just with tomtom, I'm using iGo8 and garmin XT with no success.
This was written by me on another thread complaining about the GPS.
I called HTC support Australia and informed them off its fault with GPS lag and its accuracy, I informed them that over 50% of users are having this issue on the XDA forum, they told me that no fault has been logged and there isn't an issue, It may be time to call up the tech support and make some noise to get this issue resolved. its a pain in the arse and it shouldn't be happening.
I also called up Hong Kong Customer support the other day and they said the exact same thing...... i think.... the chicks English was just deplorable.
I think i may call the Australian HTC support again, and just irritate the **** out of them, hopefully this time they may have a solution for me.

What is the data amount when using AGPS ?
Are some data only transferred when opening TomTom ?

It should be only a few KB send, and then a little more KB received.
It should only happen when the GPS is activated (e.g. you start TomTom) and then the A-GPS would kick in then. It should not transfer any more data unless you lost the GPS signal, then it would assist the GPS in getting a lock again, and therefore transfer another few KB.
AT&T Tilt & ActiveSync v4.5 Problems - constantly running, and unresolved items
I'm currently running..
- AT&T Tilt (Windows Mobile 6)
- Windows XP Professional SP2
- ActiveSync v4.5
I've been having two problems running ActiveSync v4.5 with the AT&T Tilt.
1) Constant Syncing. It seems like ActiveSync v4.5 wants to constantly sync, even when there are no changes. And when ActiveSync is running, my AT&T Tilt definitely slows down in performance. So a typical problem would be: I'm talking on the phone via bluetooth headset, and reading off information from my AT&T Tilt. Then ActiveSync will kick in, and now the AT&T Tilt becomes slow and unresponsive.
2) Unresolved Items. When I edit & save a MS Word file on my laptop, but don't close the file, ActiveSync tries to sync the file, but ends up with an unresolved item. In order to resolve the item, I have to close the MS Word file, and then maually tell ActiveSync to resolve the unresolved items. With previous Pocket PCs and ActiveSync versions, I was able to edit & save files, without accumulating these unresolved items.
Are there any adjustments, tweaks, patches, hacks, or freeware that can solve the above two issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My Device: At&t Tilt / BlackBerry 8310
Do the following:
Settings > Personal tab > Phone > Time Zone tab > uncheck/disable the "Automatic change time zone and clock" feature. All this does is automatically adjust your time zone to the one you are currently in, disabling it will just mean that you will have to manually change your time zone if you leave the one you are currently in. I don't know why this causes Active Sync to randomly run, but it does. I shut mine off a few days ago, and haven't had Active Sync turn on for me a single time since then.

Well, ActiveSync still seems to occasionally run itself, but the process seems to be much quicker.
Overall, it's an improvement
First and foremost I want to say that this would not have been possible without the XDA-Developers community, especially Da_G!! So say thanks to them!!
This has been tested by me and I can confirm that it works.
I use an AT&T Fuze on US T-Mobile's network. Obviously my phone is SIM unlocked.
I recommend you use the Blackstone Radio 1.10.25.25. NOTE: You must be security unlocked to flash the Blackstone Radio or any other radio from a Device other than the Raphael.

This cab file has made it possible for me to lock onto upwards of 7 satellites each and every time in less than 20 seconds. From a cold start(after a reset) I can lock in less than 20 seconds outside. From a warm start it's more like 5-10 seconds.
Inside my bedroom with no visibility at all I can lock onto upwards of 7 satellites in about a minute.
With all that said... Here's the cab file:
WARNING!! USE ONLY ON USA T-MOBILE!! Do not use on other carrier without making the appropriate registry edits!
WARNING!!This requires a data connection so do not use if you do not have a Data Plan or are willing to pay any charges to your account. I'm not responsible if you use this cab file and get a bill in the mail for hundreds of dollars because you didn't have a data plan.
For AT&T could I just edit the carrier to "medianet" or what ever we use? along with the nokia settings ? I'll play and see what happens later today. Thanks for your contributes!
I have the same phone as you dharvey, with an AT&T fuze unlocked for T-Mobile. However, I did not hard-spl mine because I have no idea if my phone is security unlocked or not.
My GPS works just as fast (under GPS Test), and can get a lock quickly without the cab. I'm looking at the registry edits and I'm just curious if this will improve GPS capabilities on my phone. Before you did the registry edits on your phone, what was the speed of your GPS before? Did you use GPS test? Or am I too far behind on the AGPS discussion?

Yes if you just wanted to make the manual registry changes without installing the cab and use "MEdia Net" (yes capital E) and use the Nokia settings it should work. Don't see why you would want to though AT&T has their own AGPS Servers.

HardSPL does not require a security unlock. Only if you wanted to flash a non-Raphael Radio like me would you need to security unlock the phone. This cab will install for you but I can't guarantee it will work for you unless you have a similar setup to me.
The time it took for me to get a GPS lock on my phone before making the above changes was upwards of 2 minutes. Now I'm down to 10-20 seconds without the extra.bin from QuickGPS.
Also I'm not using GPS Test. I have the same results with any GPS program I use from Google Maps to TomTom to GPS Test.

Just change "T-Mobile Data" to "MEdia Net"(yes it needs to be a capital E) after installing the cab file but like I said earlier you shouldn't need to since AT&T has their own AGPS servers for their customers.

That should work. Try it and report your results. Basically all you need to change is the operator connection so that it can connect to the internet.

it took me almost a min from cold start (after soft reset) but only about 5-10 second after that. not bad at all considering that it used to take me upward for 3-5 mins with a lot of helps from other program (quickGPS + gpsToday) It was a bit cloudy outside, that might be the reason why it took much longer but still a huge improvement from my previous set up.. and now i don't have to start up anything else prior.
Thanks!

Nothing is going to give you position data in the basement. Nothing. AGPS? Forget it. Even if your carrier gives location data on the user plane to Tom Tom or whatever else, there is no way to get a lock underground.
I am amazed at what people expect GPS to be able do.

Why in the world would you even want to use GPS in the basement? Are you getting lost trying to find the stairs?

Especially considering the whole concept of GPS. GPS = Global Positioning System.
This is quoted directly from Wikipedia:
Basic concept of GPS
A GPS receiver calculates its position by precisely timing the signals sent by the GPS satellites high above the Earth. Each satellite continually transmits messages containing the time the message was sent, precise orbital information (the ephemeris), and the general system health and rough orbits of all GPS satellites (the almanac). The receiver measures the transit time of each message and computes the distance to each satellite. Geometric trilateration is used to combine these distances with the location of the satellites to determine the receiver's location. The position is displayed, perhaps with a moving map display or latitude and longitude; elevation information may be included. Many GPS units also show derived information such as direction and speed, calculated from position changes.

GPS needs to be able to "see" the satellites in order to lock. AGPS(from what I understand) still needs a strong cellular signal in order to work too. If you don't have a strong cellular signal then how is it supposed to triangulate your position?
Using GPS in a basement will never happen. I'm shocked I can get a lock in my bedroom to begin with.

I'll 2nd this.... If I'm kidnapped and locked in a basement or dungeon of sorts, AGPS would enable me to load TomTom and I could find out where I was locked up.
On second thought, I could just call for help on my Rafael...
some conclusions about these AGPS settings using Orange in Spain as the data connection used to communicate with the Nokia AGPS servers.
It works!
AGPS data arrives to the mobile and help the GPS, to get Fixes.
but there is one small problem, as AGPS is now enabled, it seems that the GPS SW (gps test, google maps, gpstoolpro, gpstoday, tomtom...) waits for the AGPS datat to be processed before it tries to get a direct fix with the satellites. Sometimes this can produce a delay. I mean that before, the "kick gps tools" such as gpstoolpro, gpstoday used to get really quick fixes without the AGPS settings. Tomtom used to stay really longer if it was not kicked by them. Since now that i have AGPS, Tomtom can acquire a fix very fast, but the "kick gps tools" waits really longer until they get a fix becasue they seem to wait for the AGPS data to be processed..
So it seems that the AGPS settings make tomtom get faster cold & hot fixes, but slow down the "gps kick tools" cold & hot fixes.
before AGPS settings:
cold start:
gpstoday 15 sec
gstoolpro 15 sec
gps test 1 minute
tomtom 2-3 minutes
hot start
gpstoday 6 sec
gstoolpro 6 sec
gps test 15 sec
tomtom 1 minute
after AGPS settings:
cold start:
gpstoday 20-30 sec
gstoolpro 20-30 sec
gps test 20-30 sec
tomtom 20-30 sec
hot start
gpstoday 15 sec
gstoolpro 15 sec
gps test 15 sec
tomtom 20 sec
times are aprox.
What about your experiences with these AGPS settings?
Share please.
Dharvey, when you fire up google maps, are you using the "Use GPS" option for getting your location? Also, what do you have set in your "External GPS" settings? Did you put the "GPS program port" to COM4 as has always been suggested? Also, hardware port = none? Thanks for all your work on this.
Just a small note, the cab actually has a typo (and it's my fault b/c i was a little inebriated when I typed up the post containing the info, and have since edited it!)
nokia.supl.com should be supl.nokia.com
It still works because the IP address is used directly unless it fails, in which case it rolls over to the hostname. But still, fixing it now rather than whenever nokia moves the supl server to another closet and your a-gps breaks would be a good idea

Good call. I'll fix this right now.
EDIT:: Cab file fixed with Da_G's correct URL.
So would using the Nokia servers still work if you were on AT&T?

I don't see why not. As long as you change the connection type to your carriers first this way your AGPS will still connect.

@everyone - correct me if im wrong but isn't the Agps on our phone supposed to give you an approximated location whether you are connected to satellites or not?
Hey all, I realize this is my 1st post, I've been without my PC for quite sometime.
I recently got a Diamond for both myself and wife, we have both flashed to the NEW sprint 2.00 ROM and we're both suffering from this DST bug.
We're both set back to Mountain Time after we start the phone. We've tried to set the correct time zone, then press the update time button and it resets it back to mountain which appears to be default now for some reason. I've installed Advanced Configuration Manager 3.3 and I've set everything back to "Default" restarted, soft reset, removed my battey, banged my against the sharp corner of my desk and nothing.
I did however get a new PRL update to 60651, I dun think that would affect it but who knows? anyone? Please help , for the amount of money we paid the auto time update feature should work.
I'm with Sprint, in Orange Ca.
HTC Diamond with the 'new' leaked Sprint 2.00 ROM
Thanks for this forum, since being a Diamond owner, I've found this forum to be priceless.

Its not a bug but some features that you activated or is activated by default after your flashing. To resolve your issue, go to phone settings>time zones> and uncheck "Automatic change time zone and clock". This should allow you to save your timezone.
Hope this helps.
Yeah, I've had to do that, Ultimately this isn't something I want to continue doing.
Simply put, This is an expensive phone. Everything should work properly.
I'm trying to edit the registry and make sure all the settings for GMT_OFFSET are correct. Trouble is I have two Diamonds that are incorrect.
What's even more confusing is why in God's green Earth would the phone default to Mountain Time after a sync or a restart?

You do this once and it is set, at least mine. This setting is conserved even after sync and restart.
One hypothesis that I have, is that when you set it for automatic time zone retrieval, the phone requests the time zone setting from your operator and if the latter has wrong time zone, your phone just use this information. I think that the time zone error is not with the phone but the operator diffusing wrong information.
This happens to me only when we had the DST change, the phone keeps going to the old time that is 1 hour earlier.
Just try this:
enabled "Automatic change time zone and clock", your time will be wrong as before even if you try to set manually your timezone and clock. Now turn on flight mode to disable your phone function and set manually good timezone and clock. It stay correct and doesn't revert back to the problem you were having. This demonstrates that the "Automatic change time zone and clock" settings is retrieve from your operator and maybe DST has not been taken in consideration by them.
Yes I've tried that. When you say operator do you mean my carrier?
Its Sprint in your case. I think its your carrier though here we call it operator
So it seems that nothing can be done. 400
dollar phone that can't keep time. Thanks for the help anyway guys
I'm seriously the only person to have been affected by this? I've hard reset just now and I'm right back to mountain time zone. I click synchronize time/update and...sigh
Is everyone with a Diamond just ok with leaving the button unchecked? A 50 dollar metropcs phone can keep time correctly, what gives?
I've had my operator take me out of the system , reprovision me, tried all the outdated (not for my OS or version but did it anyway) DST update patches from microsoft.
Could it be the ROM "Leaked Sprint 2.00?"
try installing this cab...its a daylight savings cab issued by Microsoft...it may fix it.

Hello.
This is my first post here although I've been lurking for quite some time now. So far I've found the forum very helpful. Thanks
Anyway, I've recently emailed HTC support about some problems I've had with my appointments being an hour off after I sync it with my PC. They've emailed me this patch to install on my phone, and so far it's worked swimmingly. I'm sharing it here just in case any of you have been having the same issues as well.
