Hi,
After searching for days i'm giving up. Please help ?
What i want:
I wanna have a notification icon in the taskbar, just like the BT-icon:
"if GPS is active then show GPS-icon".
I understand that the trick is to monitor the use of the GPS Intermediate Driver. Who can and will help?
Thnx!
I hate to kick this, but please, can anyone of the developers enlighten me?
I'm gonna join the bandwagon for this, I would also like this feature.

Thnx! I hope more will join us, and more will dive in to this to actually get a solution
That's one of the things I'm missing!
Or maybe flash the notification light swiftly 3 times every 10 seconds to symbolize GPS activity.. My previous phone had such led and it was great to actually be able to see what's happening, or that what should happen actually does happen.
I still want this! Is there any developer....?
I want it to
I found it here. It worked on my Topaz but it would be nice if the icon is a satelite instead of just a red/yellow/green dots
I have contacted the author and hope he responds
Hello everyone.
I too needed an application like this and since I had no luck finding one on the market, I decided to write the app myself. You can find on the market by the name GPS Monitor Free by Illyrium. What the app does - it activates itself as soon as GPS is in use and deactivates when GPS is no longer in use. While GPS is in use, the app shows a notification icon with the satellites in view. For the moment this is all that the app does, but I am working to add some other features to it.
The app is free for the moment - and will be free (even the pro version) for everyone that helps me by sending me bugs/features.
If you have any ideas, you are more than welcome to pass them to me an I will try to implement them as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Adrian

Hello dragonro! I would love to try your app but i can't find it on the market. I've tryed different key words, different countries but no joy. I've searched on OpenMarket but i didn't found it there either... Where is it?

Hi,
I've just finished work on an app for windows mobile that allows you to view the status of your friends on xbox live.
It's an actual app, rather than a web browser pretending to be an app, that shows an iPhone style list of all your friends gamertags. It allows you to see whos online, what game they are playing, what they are doing in that game, their gamer picture and gamer score.
Version 1.2.1.0
Features Added:
* Notification auto closes after 10 seconds
* Notifications have a button to take you to application for further details
* Application will notify you when a new version is available for download.
Bugs Fixed:
* Fixed memory leak
* Performance inprovement for scrolling
* Performance improvement to startup time
* Fixed problem with touch sensitivity on VGA devices
* Improved icon for VGA devices
* Minor tweeks
Version 1.2.0.0
This update adds an online notification system. Now when your friends come online you will get a Notification pop up to tell you whos just come online.
Features Added:
* Can run in background
* Auto refreshes GamerTags status, using configurable refresh interval
* Generates Windows Mobile Notifications when friends come online
* Notifications can be Enabled or Disabled
* Useability enhancements.
Version 1.0.1.2
Bugs Fixed:
Fixed startup bug, which occured on some devices
Fixed VGA QVGA display problem
Version 1.0.1.0
Features Added:
Trial mode added allowing users to test out the application.
The application requires .net 2.0, so if you are using anything thats older than windows mobile 6 you will need to download and install .net compact framework 2.0 or higher from Microsoft here
Attached is a screen shot. For more information or to download my app please go to my site: http://www.fehnerssoftware.co.uk
finally a gamer has the need.. just like me
thanks bud.. downloading it right freakin now.
Edited
ohhh wait...
i would have to see it in action before i spent a dime.. sorry mate
this would be really cool if i didnt have to buy. At least let me try it first, to see I its worth it. Funny the app store for the iphone have very good xbox friend apps all for free.
I've been dying for someone to develop a true WinMo app for XBL friends list. I'm excited to try it, but do wish there was a demo. will there be game stats and messaging integration?
Well I would suspect iPhone owners paid for it, so why not cough up- if you want it?
I'm going to have to agree with the "try before you buy" feeling going on here.
At least take a video showing how the app works on your own phone please.
Although this would be an awesome app, I have been looking for a program or script that sends me an sms whenever a specific friend is on XBox Live so I can join up, any one heard of something that does that?
Hi all,
Thank you for the positive response
I've taken on board all your comments and aim to produce a limited feature trial version, which will allow you to try it out before committing to a purchase.
I will post back here when I have made the updates.
Iphone people got it for free Micosoft stepped in and made the company give the application for free

ya i like that.. if you remember way back in the day the original xbox and orignal xbox live did that.. sent an sms, and IMed you on msn..
I like the idea of the app. But it doesn't seem to do enough for me to pay for it. I mean.. there are much more useful apps on this site(and others) for the ppc that are free.
I tip my hat to you sir. Nice looking app. You have inspired me to work on an open source version for myself.
Version 1.0.1.0 - trial mode
Hi again,
I have now updated my site with version 1.0.1.0 of my xbox live friends status app.
Version 1.0.1.0, will run in a trial mode while un-registered, so you can try it out. It is limited to displaying two gamer tags.
Hopefully this will give you a feel for the app.
For more information or to download my app please go to my site: http://www.fehnerssoftware.co.uk/mygamertags.shtml
Nice! I was waiting for something like this. Going to try it out.
Thank you!

I accidentally uploaded an early version which had a bug if you were using the app for the very first time.
The bug has since been fixed and a new version uploaded not long ago.
Are you able to try the latest version?

What device are you using? Are you running this on a windows mobile phone?
Any chance you could scroll down on the details screen for the error so I can see the full call stack?

Thanks for that.
It seems the way I get the devices unique serial number is not working for your device. I have an idea of how to get this working on your device.
I'll get working on it
Thanks.
I've put up a new level on my site which should fix the crashes on startup some people were experiencing.
Please let me know if it you experience any problems.
Thanks.
ok...
i did get this one to install and run...
however i have an issue.
you have it set to simply look up gamertags.. which is cool... however, I, like thousands of others, have set up my profile so that only friends can see if the person is online.
so genericly putting in gamercards wont work for me as i wont really know who is online..
unless the app can see its ME looking..
for example... I put in my gamertag.. and it said i was offline... but i wasnt, however if your not on my friends list.. i appear offline.
and i dont remember if it did or not, but i dont think it said what game they where playing.. again if you do fix it so i can see my friends online, if i cant see what game they are involved in.. its no good as well.
i gave you alot of negative, which is ****ty of me..
so i do want to say from what i can see it looks awesome.
Hello XDA ^^.
When i'm using the build-in HTC Peep application for a new tweet and i want to add my GPS location, it gives me "Unable to find location information. Retry?".
Now i am 100% sure that my GPS is working, since GPS pictures can be made and Gmaps works fine.
Only HTC Peep refuses to get any location.
A second twitter-related question:
Is there any (better) Twitter application i can use, but WITH sense-integration (making it available as a tab like HTC Peep)
Thanks in advance !
Usually of I clink add location it does come up 'unable to find location' just clink on retry and it usually finds me straight away.
In answer to other tweet apps I no theres one called mo-tweets but you can't put that on your slider only on today screen but never use it, just have Twitter saved as fav on internet so I just use that.
Hope that gives a bit of help
I retried my *ss of, really ..
It keeps saying unable to find location information, while my GPS is clearly up and running ..
Any option/registry tweak i need to set/enable?

motweets is a fantastic program and at least ten times better with much better functionality that peep. i highly recommend dropping the four bucks on panoramics site and getting it.
as far as getting something on the bottom slider tab, i remember seeing a thread on here that addressed this but i cant remember which one it is. youll need to search some but im pretty sure it exists.

Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks
Russ
I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.
i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do
Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

I'm going to make a suggestion here, now don't think am saying this is better than that but have you tried sygic mobile maps instead? I use it myself and it's available from the HTC store so does that say anything for it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.
I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.
Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.
On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is
No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.
Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support
Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

Hello,
I found out that the only way to geotag photos is to enable "Use wireless networks" option. But with that option, the coordinates location is not very close to reality...
I tried only the option "Use GPS satellites", but no matter what I do, it cannot insert any location on the photos...
Yes, I have GPS "turn on" on the powerconfig, I have the Geo-tag photos option ON, I have GPS fix on other apps in about 4seg, I waited more than 30seg inside the camera app before taking a photo but nothing works... Resuming, I don't have any problem with GPS itself, except in the camera
For example on my hold Touch HD, when in the GPS camera mode, it displayed a blinking icon when trying a GPS fix and a stable icon after the fix.
Here I don't even get any indication that it's trying to get a GPS fix or whatever...
I feel that this is a downgrade... How can HTC let this happen??
Am I doing something wrong??
Does anyone have Geotagging with only the "Use GPS satellites" option ON ???
Hi. I too can confirm this issue.
Perhaps we should contact HTC about this?
I'm going to read the manual during my lunch break too on the off chance it might have some useful info ... I doubt it though ....
The manual only makes reference to the option on the camera app...
It was nice if people start to report this bug to HTC...
Please guys help HTC to make a better phone!!!
On the other day I sent a support ticket to HTC and they were fast replying...
But, as normally, they even didn't understand quite what was I talking about...
Here's the reply:
Which GPS navgation software are you using? Bear in mind that some GPS softwares require internet to get for you maps, maybet his is your case.. If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again. Please note that you can contact us via support line. For further details, please go to http://www.htc.com/europe/CA_Hotline.aspx , Thank you so much for using HTC products.

lolol, gps navigation software?!? lol, nice try...
Replied again with a second explanation, hope this time they will understand, but don't have a lot of faith...
Is there any way I can support and confirm an issue of an existing ticket?
As in, can I add my voice somehow to you issue onesolo?
You can, http://contactus.europe.htc.com/wFrmMailLogin.aspx
But you have to enter my email...
But I think it's better to you to open a new ticket
The one that I have, I'm speaking with a person (a women for the matter) from HTC Iberia, and clearly she doesn't understand what I'm talking about...
I got the second reply and she came again with the story of GPS softwares, even TomTom she spoke... ROFTL!!!!
For the navigations softwares, we recommend using TOMTOM, Copilot or Google maps. But bear in mind that Google maps are considered as GPRS hungry cause the maps are being viewed online. On the other hand, TOMTOM and Copilote download the maps to the phone that's why if you are using Google maps, wirelss network option should be ticked.. That's why we were asking which navigation software are you using.

I guess I shouldn't select "Portugal" in the country field from HTC email support. Or maybe it was due the serial number of my phone...
I will try to post a message on HTC UK facebook.
And for the rest of the ppl here at DHD forum, I don't understand why so little feedback to this bug... it would be great if more people report this problem...

I asked on the Whirlpool forum (Australian technology forums) and very little response too. In fact very few people even bothered to read the issue.
I guess geo tagging photos is not so important to people
I will raise a ticket with HTC Australia and see how that goes.
Now I got a message from the women from HTC Iberia saying it's a limitation from the system!!! ahaha
I only wish a I had the possibility to test this on another android HTC.
Does anyone knows if on other android HTC phones this happens??
Strange. Now that you mentioned it I too have that problem. However I did manage to get accurate GPS location on photos. Don't remember exactly how but I think that after taking the photo I tried to locate the place on the map and updated the coordinates from there.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
I have managed to make one of my photos accurately geo tag. I was in a car using Google Navigation at the time, so maybe that is why it was able to capture the correct coordinates.
This weekend I will be seeing two of my friends who also have Android phones (Nexus One and SE Xperia X10 mini) and I also have an HTC Magic. I will attempt to test on all of them provided the weather here in Sydney clears up >.<
Ok, I think I also got it...
I first opened GMaps, waited for the gps fix and then took a picture. I finally got Geotag only using the GPS satellites!!!
This is so stupid... and a backwards step...as I said before, I was able to do this only inside the photo app with my old Touch HD (in windows mobile) without opening previous any gps app...
I received my DHD 2 days ago.
As mentioned earlier in this thread I'm missing the icon shown i camera-mode witch indicates GPS-fix.
I've also tried confirming a GPS-fix with an 3rd party app (GPS Status) before shooting.
Just 1/4 second after exiting camera-mode, I can see the GPS-icon in the Android status bar. This indicates that the GPS is indeed initialized, but the camera-software doesn't fetch any information.
I'm posting a e-mail to HTC Support about this. I've already sent them a query regarding the "/INIT" -issue.
Hi,
I´m new.
Have the same problem.
What is the status? HTC has said what?
No reply from HTC yet.
Maybe it helps if several customers report in the issue.
I also created a ticket. Let's see what comes for a response.
Update: I've gotten GPS-tag on several images now. But still the tagging can fail even though I've tested the GPS-reception just seconds before.
I'm still missing the informative GPS-icon in camera-view...
Update:
From HTC Support:
It is true that the GPS-indicator is not visual and for that reason it is hard to know if the GPS signal is locked. I will log this in our systems, and hopefully there will be a future update that will fix this issue. To be sure it’s turned on, go in on camera - push menu - and see if GEO-tag photos are switched on.

I'll guess we have to wait for an software-fix.
At least it's a better reply that the ones that I'm getting...
Hope yours brings a fix to the issue...
After my last reply, explaining a way around (that still it's not a fix), I got this issue from HTC Europe:
Thank you for contacting us again. Thank you for your feedback, your input is much appreciated. I trust that this resolves your query. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

I think it's great that several people report in the issue(s). It should increase the chances for a quick fix
Do bear in mind that if you're indoors, GPS Satellites may not be detected. I have noticed that when trying to use a car navigation program inside my house (Testing purposes only....I hope) there are no or only 1 satellites detected. However, upon going in the car and using my phone while my dad is driving, GPS boosts to several satellites and pictures are all tagged with GPS location and street level info too!
Has anyone noticed better gps accuracy or response times when enabling the sensor aiding, GLONASS, or both in the high fidelity position app?
I have been trying different tests and I am inconclusive.
Since latest update to it I have noticed when it is enabled I keep a tighter accuracy ring longer. Where as before it would lose accuracy faster as I moved. I have been using the Outdoor Navigation app from GPS Tuner with great results for Geocaching.

This app worked great. I have just bought a new phone and the app is no longer available to install from the market place.
I think the last version was 1.4.
Does anyone know why it was pulled and if it will return.

i installed the app using that exact link about 2 hours before i made that post (had just hard reset).
i went to this page on my phone http://www.wpcentral.com/new-samsung-high-fidelity-position-enhances-gps-modifies-settings and clicked the link they provided.
again this is all from the phone, also..once installed it is in your settings at the bottom..not the app list.
mail the link to your phone and then click on it from there.
I was puzzled for a few minutes as after it installed it seemed to disappear.
I found it in Settings at the bottom of the list.

Separate. Read here:
The app has two settings: "Use Sensor Aiding" where it uses those extra sensors and "GLONASS" or GLObal Navigation Satellite System, developed by the Russians and which you can enable and use at the same time to enhance location availability. (Looks like Sammy is making some new international deals).
In addition:
You have the option to use sensor aiding to help with pedestrian positioning and using GLONASS.
GLONASS is short for Globalnaya navigatsionnaya sputnikovaya sistema or mildly put, Global Navigation Satellite System. As best as I can understand things, GLONASS is a Russian version of the U.S. GPS system. It compliments your Windows Phone GPS to enhance location availability.
