[Q] What external GPS receiver?

Since the Nexus S's GPS doesn't seem to bloody work and a fix isn't even on the horizon I was thinking maybe I could use an external GPS and hook it up via Bluetooth. There's a couple of success reports for Android phones in general but I don't know which devices, if any, will actually work with a (stock) Nexus S.
Are there any special protocols / features that need to be supported and what do I need on the phone side?
Do you have any specific recommendations?
Judging by the local pricewatch site (http://geizhals.at/) the market is dominated by Garmin and Navilock here.

1+ check some amazon reviews out it should work with anyone that has tried it will an android phone. If not CM7 will most likely have the protocal to support it

What are you talking about? My GPS gets and holds a lock within seconds. Try flashing a different rom, mine took over a minute to lock before I flashed OpenSoju.

It's nice that the built-in GPS works on your phone, but it doesn't on mine and I'm on the second unit already. Please do stay on topic.

You would rather continue using a defective phone than listen to people tell you that a non-working GPS is not normal behavior?

Do you really think exchanging it a second time would help any? (Not a rhetorical question, btw.)
Have a look at the many many threads around here by people who have problems with the Nexus S's GPS. Or at the mile-long thread over at Google Help. Or at reviews over at Amazon. Everywhere it's the same picture: A lot of people have problems, a lot don't.
If it were easy to fix it would have been fixed by now, so either it's a hardware issue that only affects some batches (in which case exchanging the phone won't help) or a complex bug that depends on outside factors, e. g. carrier used (same result). I could of course get another phone entirely, but which? The SGS1? For the GPS?

FYI im on my 3rd phone for other reasons and GPS was fine on all 3 devices
you might be getting threw a bad batch like you said ..IDK

Hm, not very encouraging, but thanks anyway.
I'm still open to suggestions for an external GPS, though.

Yes I do think exchanging it again would help. You are paying $2,000+ over the course of two years for this phone. Settling for one with capabilities less than advertised seems unreal to me. If I bought a car after the salesman told me it had A/C and it turns out it didn't have any A/C, I would return it in a heartbeat.

Ouch! I realize you're just quoting a round figure but I just did the math and I'm not even paying $500 (assuming US) over two years.

Wow, I didn't notice where you were from. $21 a month! You are a lucky guy. The US lags behind in broadband and cell service I suppose..

My GPS never worked too. I downloaded Gps test (by chartcross limited) on the market and after running both this app and google navigation simultaneously my gps worked. Initially it took 5 min to lock in a signal and now i get a signal instantly. Maybe give this a try.

Ok, I got number three and lo and behold it is a little better. Not great, but usable at least.
I'd still be interested in BT GPS that work well with the Nexus S.

I'm also not too happy with embedded GPS receiver.
So I just bought a Holux M-1000C, cheap and much more sensitive.
As additional plus you should get:
- logging during trips
- (to be confirmed) lower battery drain
- it can be adjusted to read up to 10 positions per second

Chromecast

for those like me who wanted to get the chromecast today from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=chromecast) only to find out that they are "out of inventory," hope is not lost. it's available on amazon too. if you search amazon for chromecast, at least for now, you get nothing (at least for now). it IS on amazon, just not available in the search results yet.
here is the amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DR0PDNE/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?redirect=true&ref_=tv_srch_google
get it while it's hot!

Would be much nicer if it allowed for mirroring of the device on the TV

Some Best Buys have them on sale now. I called the one near me they said they would have them tomorrow morning.

Does anybody know if I can plug this into my A/V receiver's HDMI port instead of my TV, would rather hear the sound through my HT speakers and not my TV's..
Would the chromecast then turn on the receiver and switch to the correct input? THAT would be just AWESOME..!
And in general, the auto turn on and switching input is triggered by sending a video/audio from phone/tablet/PC to chromecast?

I just realized, the link here removed that part about being Mediacast compliant. Not sure why Google didn't make it's own device so that the Nexus can stream to TV's like they initially advertised.
Also this thing isn't an Apple TV, which I realized the more I read into this. The content has to be on the cloud, so already uploaded somewhere like on Netflix or Youtube or even your Google Play account in order to work. You can't just take a picture or video or song from your computer/tablet/phone and send it to the TV. It really doesn't do much other than turn your phone into a remote control to play Youtube videos and things like that. Which is also why it can't mirror or anything, since it's not necessarily connected to your phone/tablet, other than that initial request to open a specific URL.

I don't know, still looks like it's simply opening the URL of the website onto the TV. Then again, this is a cut version, I didn't really watch the full version so I'm not sure. I'll check it up in a while and get back to you.

I wonder if this could be ported to a cheap arm board? The Chromecast receiver would rock on a Raspberry Pi.

At this price, and if you guys wanted it next week, dont bother to try Amazon or Best Buy. Pay a few more bucks and get it on Play Store. It's available as of now. Just ordered mine. BestBuy is out of stock and store pick-up is not available, so is Amazon
Did anybody able to get Youtube displaying the ChromeCast? I'm running factory 4.3 with Youtube 4.5.17 and just dont see the icon at all - as with Google Music ...

how would you play local content from PC like movies thru chromecast?

Anyway its freaking awesome!! Watching top gear in crystal clear hd playing off google movies/tv. Used my galaxy nexus. Gonna try next with the n7
Edit: apparently it also shows on your lockscreen sort of like how music will show the pause/play options.

I got mine tonight at the El Segundo Best Buy in LA. Picked up the last two (one for a friend). It's taking all my will power to finish the work that I'm doing before I open it up to play. Though I realize now I'm on XDA writing about it so I'm kinda failing ha!

It definitely can! I did research on Google for each and every one of these that I wasn't sure about?. I recommend anyone do the same if they are not comfortable and remember one man's trash is another man's treasure, you have to know what it is otherwise you may get rid of a feature you really want that someone else could care less about.

If you go to the running apps in the application manager you can also turn off some services but I'm not sure how to get some of those back because they don't show up and the "turned off" list.
These aren't actually getting deleted its the same as freezing them if you were rooted and using rom tool manager or titanium.
Your phone acts and responds exactly the same as if they were deleted but they are still there and dormant.
Many of them like "ant" can be downloaded directly from the Play Store.

Some variants do s be sure to check your radio freq. All you have to do is plug in headphones and they work as your antenna. Then you launch the app. It was probably easy for samsung to just toss that on all phones and let the carriers sort it out later.

That's common practice, why if your on a budget it's best to buy the low of a high end company rather than high end if a low end company!
Often parts /software are the same with less features "disabled or not connected" . It's cheaper and higher profit with easier tech support to have less platforms that are truly different.

Ant is a wireless communication standard based on the Bluetooth radio hardware. You can connect with several heart-rate-measurement devices used by runners and things like that.

If you want to use the most of your battery without root use greenify

It's amazing the level of "Bloatware" you guys get on American carriers! Wow! Up in Canada it's not nearly as bad and has been getting leaner and leaner over past couple of years.
Heck, a couple carriers up here got practically nothing on it but I think it was a time thing and not getting the firmware n source code in time to customize before launch but nonetheless hasn't been *too* bad here on most phones and carriers for a while..
And more importantly we have practically been providing "unlocked bootloader" phones for ever.. That's a BIG plus as the likes of AT&T and Verizon are locking everything down.

Yea, that'd be so awesome.

It's surprising as I said, more so now that I've had some time with the watch because it's actually pretty good. I get all day battery life, the watch does a decent job of keeping track of my gym time, I find the assistant useful since I mostly use it to set timers, alarms, various simple things play well on the watch that would have been an assistant search or activity on the phone. Lists, notes, recipes, all work well on the watch. An example would be grocery lists, it's nice to walk through the store while simply glancing at the watch instead of pulling the phone.
All similar to what I did with my previous smartwatches but it all works better here due to the combination of (more fluid) hardware pushing the GUI, AW 2.0, along with the rotating crown to quickly scroll. It's not a huge difference but for me it's pushed smartwatch use into a place where I put my watch on in the morning because I want to, not because I tell myself to use it. My day now includes getting schit done with it, before it really didn't.
Anyhow I hope you gents can pick one up soon. It's so dead here I've stopped checking to see if there was anything interesting to learn.

From what I understand, I do in order to use LTE. I can get it from Verizon or the Google store, neither have them in stock.

Nah, both Verizon and AT&T are bands 2,4, and 5 as is the watch sold on the Google store. Others are reporting it working, do a search to verify but I think your watch is a few clicks away.

That's what i was thinking too

So I ended up buying one from AT&T. When the Verizon rep scanned the IMEI it said invalid. From what I've heard you have to put a SIM in that's already activated for it to work. Some Verizon Reps will do it, some won't. I'll keep you posted as to what I end up doing. I'm happy with it, without LTE.
UPDATE: I put in my SIM out of my tablet, and everything is working as it should.

Alexa isn’t available in my region?

I live in the U.S. and bought the unlocked x4 from Motorola’s website and when I try and open the Moto Alexa app it says it’s not available in my region? Why would that be since amazon echo and every other amazon device works here?

Sounds like the version that Motorola sold you was the EU or UK version. Does it have 4GB of RAM?

I have the same problem. I chatted with Amazon support about it and they said the only thing they can do is exchange it for another one. So I sent it back this morning and I've got another one on the way. It has 3gb of ram too so I'm thinking they pushed the wrong version of the app to the phone. Glad I'm not the only one who is having this issue. I'll let you know if the new one works (I'll get it Saturday).
Oh and I'm in Springfield Missouri btw so yeah it should work here no problem. Point being that it should work anywhere in the US.

Oh wow! Thank you so much for figuring that out. Oddly enough, I installed the "Moto Alexa" app an old moto phone and it didn't work either and I got to thinking about it and wondered if having a sim card in the phone would make a difference but didn't have the time to try out my theory. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting. I get the new one tomorrow so we shall see if it works for me too. Motorola and Amazon really should post that the Alexa app isn't going to work without a sim card in the phone.

From what I've seen, the sim card is for the inital setup of Moto Alexa. Once that was set up and working, I took the simcard out and it responded perfectly.
In the morning, I head down to the AT&T store to get the new nano simcard for it. I am very glad that I did not have to send the phone back to Amazon.
The Moto Alexa app is nice. only complaint I have about it is minor. You cannot use "Drop In" to call other Alexa devices. Need to use the full Alexa app.
Wish I could install Moto Alexa on my Oneplus 2.

I've clreared that up. that was very silly of me to ask it here to be honest hahaha. but thank you.

Awesome, I picked up the moto mod alexa speaker on clearance for 60 bucks (open box). I was going to use my Z play as an alexa device alarm clock since I cannot bear to part with it (replaced it with the z2 force but I still want to keep it for travel since it never ever dies). I could set moto alexa app up just fine on my z2force but not on the play - said I needed a sim to use it. Glad to hear it is just for inital setup.
