I'm having a problem with my internal GPS. i don't ahve a data plan and I'm just trying to get the GPS on the phone to work. I have the Garmin Mobile XT. I keep reading things that tell me to go into services and turn location on, but there is no option in there for that or i just don't know where to look. I have the NRG rom I go to start>settings>>personal>Phone>Services the only options I have are call barring, caller ID, Call forwarding, Call waiting, Voice Mail and Text Message. Its killing me not know how to set this up can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. How do I connect the garmin to my internal GPS...

I'm using a Mogul and trying out certain things with GPS files and registry(since it's disabled in the Mogul). I was wondering, is the phone is supposed to be able to make calls or access data connection while accessing the internal GPS? I've set the external program port to COM9 and configured Garmin Mobile XT with it on COM9... when it says Searching for Satellites I can't make calls or get data...
The reason I ask here is because our GPS functions according to what I've read are supposed to be similar and you guys might be able to tell me the behavior of the phone while accessing GPS.
Hello,
I have a verry weird problem with my Tytn 2.
Most of the time when people try to call me, the phone doens't ring. the only thing i see is a small incomming call icon on top of the screen and the screen turns on. after that i get an sms message from my voicemail. (They get redirected to it)
Sometimes it just works well.
Dont know what is going on, but it is verry annoying. i miss a lot of calls every day.
Maybe anyone know the issue?
Btw on a sidenote, i check my Gmail every 5mins (1min disconect when idle) but it seems to consume a lot of data +- 15MB a day. Only email checking!!
Anyone who knows how that come?
Thanks!
r u on a 3G or 2G coverage?
If on 2G, some operators do not allow data and voice at the same time. So if you have your Internet connection on at almost all the times, your voice calls will automatically be switched to VMail.
But if you have a 3G connection. dunno.
as far as the net usage, do you download ALL the message? try loading only the headers? Do you also download the attachments? all these rack up.

Well i think i can select that at the menu 'Band' it is configured as 'Auto'
Can chose:
Type network: Auto, GSM or WCDMA
Select GSM/UMTS-band: GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100) or GSM(1900+850) or UMTS (2100+800)
i know my provider supports 3g
Or is that the wrong menu? and settings.
Thanks for the tip on the email. Attachments were already disabled. but i chosed to download all tekst and no images. But now i selected it to header only, will monitor how it goes.
Hm, maybe some more ppl with input?
i still think it has something to do with the internet connection that is active.
My Kasier switches between 2G and 3G depending on coverage. Based on the answer you already got above, this might explain the "random" nature of missed calls:
If your coverage at a point in time is 2G and an incoming call happens at the same time as a scheduled email download, the call gets redirected.
If your coverage is 3G, the call comes in normally.
I hate push email on my phone (it's a control thing) and pull email down when and if it suits me!
Hmm dunno if its a coverage problem i travel a lot, and today i missed 2 calls again. Damn its getitng annoying! maybe i need to try a hard reset?
Hm most pll say that the phone rings two times, and then switches to my voicemail. But i dont hear anything, only see a small phone icon in the top bar.
Rings twice and then voicemail is definetly you using data connection when someone calls.
I have had mine not ring and go to voice mail several times. Once when it happend, I called it myself, and watched teh phone, and I noticed that it thought I had on a BT headset. My BT was on on the phone, but I did not have a BT headset on. So, I think it was sending to BT, but there was not BT. I have started turning my BT off if I am in fact not using a BT headset or other BT device.
What radio version are you using?

Radioversion: 1.27.12.32
ROM version: 1.56.404.6
(Dutch rom)
I fixed it, by upgrading to a WM6.1 rom and update the radio version to: 1.64.08.21
I got way better batty life now to!
My GSM provider happened to give me a contract in which i can dial every national mobile network for free as i am paying a fixed amount for that. But i have to pay extra for international networks and national fixed network. This is where my VoIP account should kick in, because it has much lower calling rates when trying to reach somebody out of these networks.
So as i mentioned in the Title, i would need to do some tuning with my VoIP and GSM accounts. I finally got VoIP and GPS working, now what i need is the dialer to determine which account to use when dialing different numbers, eg. i need my Diamond to dial via VoIP when i am calling international numbers or a number within the national fixed network. At the same time i want it to use my GSM Account for dialing to mobile networks. eg. it has to use the SIM card in case the dial format is +49 (1Yx) xxxxxxx, while Y is either 5,6 or 7. It should use the sip account in every other case.
So i assume that this problem might be solved with tuning the dialplan.xml, but since i have no experience in altering this file i am asking how to do it.
I also guess that editing entries within this file might give me the chance to use VoIP when dialing in international format, e.g. +1 555 727... instead of 001 555 727, as the dialer tells me that it isn't able to dial because it the phone number is not valid. As soon as i am entering the number without international country code it works fine.
Also there is the issue that the Diamond keeps turning off while talking on the phone, whether i am making a call through GSM or VoIP. In case of VoIP, my current calling connection drops because WLAN gets turned off as soon the Diamond goes into Standby mode.
Next problem is the Standby mode in general: As WLAN turns off when the Diamond goes to sleep, i am no longer logged in to my sip account. The result is that no one can call me when dialing my sip phone number.
So i would be grateful if somebody could at least help me with one of these problems. Thanks in advance!
1) about having the phone to decide automatically, according to your IP dialplan settings to use GSM or VoIP, I don't know much.
But you can always use the VoIP Today plugin to manually decide which one you'd like to use.
2)
regarding the phone switching to sleeping mode and by doing so dropping your wifi connexion, you can use DiamondTweak to modify your settings and avoiding this.
Whenever your phone will go to sleeping mode, the wifi connexion will remain active.
3)
No worry about third point, since your wifi connexion will not drop anymore.
How gps work with VOIP ?
"I finally got VoIP and GPS working..."

Ho do you manually decide which one to use? I have installed VOIP today. I can select never to use VOIP. But I cannot force to use VOIP only. That is, my HTC Touch Diamond is deciding whether to use GSM or VOIP.

I have enabled simultaneous connections for Voice & Data in my ROM by editing the 'ContextNumber' values in the registry.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\\RIL\OperatorContexts\23415] ;Vodafone UK
"GPRSContextNumber"=dword:3
"UMTSContextNumber"=dword:3
This seems to work, to a degree but I am not sure about some of the behaviour. I have my data connection set to permanent as I use Exchange ActiveSync for work as well as MS Office Communicator Mobile 2007 R2. I have a 2nd data connection for MMS but this is hardly ever used and only for MMS anyway.
If I am on a call and an email arrives I hear a notification and if I quickly look I can see an email has been received whilst the call is still in place. If the call is short then everything seems fine, however if the call is for a few minutes or more then typically my OCS presence status gets messed up and the connection to the OCS server gets broken. The data connection is still in place but there seems to be some breakdown of sending/receiving data whilst the voice call is connected for more than a few minutes.
I am struggling to troubleshoot this and was wondering if anyone else has issues with simultaneous voice & data calls?

generally it's not a phone thing class A gsm phones all support it
but if your phone operator don't have full support in their end
there is not much you can do
read about it here

every htc phone I had supported it fine without any reg changes

No, that's the thing it does work and I can receive emails via the data connection when I am on a voice call. It just seems after the voice call is active for more than a few minutes then there is some communication breakdown, however the data call remains active.

Is there any way to use Tasker or some other setting/app to have my Google Voice ring a different number depending on if I'm connected to Wifi or not?
Here's why:
I have a pretty low minutes limit on my plan, but I also have an unlimited Skype account, so I can have GV forward into my Skype number if I have a wifi connection, so I don't get charged cell minutes. But if I'm not somewhere where I have a wifi connection, I want it to ring my actual cell number.
I've seen the Google Voice plugin for Locale/Tasker, but it chooses based on location, as does the Google Voice Locations app. I'd prefer to use any location, but change the number when I'm connected to Wifi.
Thanks!
Maybe I don't understand how Tasker plugins work, but if there is a Google Voice plugin for Tasker, that should be all you need. You are not forced to trigger it based on location, make a Tasker profile based on wifi connectivity instead.
Good call. I tried it, and it works when using wifi connected as the state that Tasker checks.
Unfortunately, I realized that will be kinda useless if I don't have cell data as well, because when the wifi disconnects, there's no way for the phone to connect to Google Voice settings to change the phone number.
For me the whole point is to get my phone to work in some places I frequently go that don't have cell reception... I did manage to get it to work using Tasker custom widgets, so I can set it manually, but I don't see any way to get it to work automatically unless I have 3G data, which I don't in the locations I mentioned.
So I have single touch access to changing the settings, but not automatic based on location.
Yeah, if you don't have a connection you can't really change the setting. Sounds like you need a Tasker state that can predict the future. "Will lose wifi in 5 minutes"
But seriously, I can't think of a way to get around that problem easily. If you always had a computer online at home or something, you could have Tasker send it a signal every 5 minutes. If your home computer notices the signal is late it can run a script to switch you to your cell number, because it will know you have lost your data connection and couldn't send the regular notice.
When you get connection again, either your computer can switch it back (when it receives the 5 minute signal again), or have Tasker do it because it can talk to Voice again.
Yeah, that might be an option, actually... Hmm.
Time to brush up on some scripting skills. Any recommendations?
Thanks for the input, in any case!
Well, personally, I would set up a web server and script it with PHP, because I know that well.
No clue how to go about hooking it into Google Voice to change the settings, you'd have to look it up, but I do know Tasker can send a call to a web page.
I would make it in two parts, or two scripts.
So set up a PHP page where you would send a signal to and it would then set a 'latest signal' variable, possible in a DB but you would probably want something simpler. You would want to pass in some POST or GET variable unique to your phone, so other people don't access the page and pretend to be the phone, unlikely, but possible if you tell your friends about it
Then I'd have a separate CRON task that runs every 5 minutes, checks the DB or file to see if the phone has sent in a new update, if it doesn't see a new update it then does whatever it needs to do to change your Voice setting.
Then to switch back to Skype, you can have Tasker do it when it detects a data connection again, or just depend on your home script to switch you back when the next signal goes out.
Doesn't gv forward calls to your numbers in the order you want them to ring? If everyone called gv you can make gv forward to skype first and if you don't pick up there it rings your cell right?
I'm not home in the states so I can't test it :/
Actually they all ring at once. So you can switch to skype and pick up there.
If it does, I haven't figured it out yet.
I'm new to GV, but so far I've found that I can set which numbers ring simultaneously, or set them based on either time of day, or contact groups.
If I could have it ring Skype for 2 rings first, then my cell, that would be perfect, but I haven't found that setting yet.
Bringing this thread back to life for a followup question. Before I shell out the money for Tasker, will it enable me to alter GV settings based on WHICH wifi network I am connected to? I.E. set GV to ring home and cell when connected to my home network, office and cell when connected to my office network, and cell only for all other times?
Given it's been a couple of years since this post, is there a better way/software to do this without the expense of Tasker?
Thanks!
Ben
