Hello,
I have TomTom 7 installed there were times where it would show me at like 500meters away from the actual position...
One time it was working fine and then suddenly it just jumped to the side of the road...
Today I was playing music with Sense player and opened TomTom and it was like 500m to the right of the road I was... I closed and opened it again and the problem was still there. Then I stopped the music and opened TomTom and it was fine... Music again, TomTom again and it was still fine... Not sure if the music playing has any effect.
Any idea?
Hi... it did not happen for my case. It is not TOMTOM problem... For me, it only happens when I use tomtom in the city area with a lot of high buildings. They interfere the satellite signal.
how can you listen the voice navigation while it plays music?

I had like 7 satellites I think... And I was on an highway without any buildings around.
The TomTom lady talks loud And I was just testing
The music could be the problem. Because the symptom is quite similar to that when I drive in city area: strong signals but poor accuracy...
So I think the signal might be interfered... Have you tried making phone calls while use tomtom?
No, not phone calls...
I never used tomtom, but u should be able to change geode or coordinate system to WSG84 in options, try this and see if it helps
ive had the same problem several times. when ive only had tomtom running! and on 2 diferant hd2's...
This occasionally happens to all GPS receivers and is due to interference caused by solar flares messing around with the earths magnetic field. Until we fix the blasted sun and it's irritating solar flare issue, this will affect all phones and send you into cow fields full of dung.

So it is a "normal" thing then... I tough it was because of the fact that the player was using more CPU or something...

It could be estimating your position using agps if you cannot get a good signal, try turning off agps, that way you will either have gps signal or not..

Hi, wanted to briefly comment on my largely positive HD2 & skiing experience.
Video
Worked fine right down to about -15c (-25 with wind chill), noticed some jerks in recording but cant say if it was cold related, Here is the HD2 video I made.
Bear in mind that some videos had gamma/brightness adjustments.
Camera
Yea, not too bad after the HTC camera patch, the last image at the end of the video is a (curve adjusted) photo taken with HD2. I was impressed with the camera under some conditions (medium-good light levels and little movement), still not in the same league as an N95 especially in low light conditions.
Music application
Worked OK, but its still pretty lame, making the experience quite frustrating:
1. no volume control on the headphone piece
2. long pauses while (large) playlist loads, why is this not cached???
3. Cant use your own headphones with remote (like Nokia) so had to use crappy HTC ones
4. Scrolling large lists in the cold! (I believe there is a scroll bar in 1.6x)
5. loads more niggles
General
No problems most of the time but a couple of times in extreme cold (-15) I found the keyboard became really erratic and once it even completely stopped responding. I also noticed that coming in from the extreme cold quite a lot of fog behind the screen, this cleared up after the phone warmed up with no ill effects.
All in all I was happy, BUT I was pretty pissed off to find, after running for the plane, a scratch on the screen, keys or coins the culprit.. just shows how wrong the unscratchable claims are!
Sorry to hear about the scratch on your screen. You should have listened to your head and bought a screen protector. It's not too late.....
WB
And you really should have tested the SatSki application, then you could also have tested the GPS functionality.
Had this application already running on my previous phone, excellent application for skieers and on the big HD2 screen it is really handy.
I've downloaded Satski and will be trying it in Les Deux Alpes in a couple of weeks, will report how it goes.
I must admit I noticed the same thing about not being able to ajust the volume using the remote on the headset. That's a real pain.
Also intending to buy some new thin gloves for using the phone poss The North Face E-Tip or Blacks do their own version which I tried in store and they work ok (perfect for texting your mate at work while you're have a beer on the slope)
Headset
I use my HD2 when snowboarding with Jabra bt620s bluetooth headset. It works great and I can adjust the volume, skip songs and answer calls with buttoms on the headset. And its nice not to worry about wires.

To be fair I don't really have a problem with you guys being behind me...........because you can't keep up on your trays.
What I really need is a camera that can look out for groups of you sitting down just after the brow of a hill.

Here is a pic taken with my HD2 tonite at my local hill I am sitting down just after the brow of a hill with my dog watching my mates building a big jump
Try mapping your snowboarding as you go down the slopes, i'm gonna test the skiing mode this weekend. But there are some ski trips recorded with sportypal that I found, http://sportypal.com/Workouts/Details/124172
Guys
I'd like to discuss 2 questions for the usage of our X10s.
1> In public, the Volume of the phone is really low. How do you guys cope with that?
2> The GPS software from market needs to work with Google map. But, when 3G signal is weak, the google is downloaded very slowly. Is there any GPS software that uses downloaded maps?
the Volume of the phone(during a call) is the lowest i've ever used.
too bad.
I know this may seem obvious, but have you moved the phone lower or higher? At first I thought the call volume was low, but Once I found the right ear position it's just as good as on my c905, night and day better then on my k790.

yes i had. maybe you have better ears.
I agree with the volume but I use a headset or bluetooth and it solves the problem.Haven't tried speaker phone yet but I'm doubtful.
No idea on the gps,sorry

for GPS you can try Igo. I am using Motonav (Igo for motorola droid) and is working with older Igo maps. There is another thread about this subject in the forum.

1. Well, I use the bluetooth headset that came with my phone (MW600) and it works perfectly. But yeah, that's pretty much the only fix for now, a headset.
2. I know that there's a couple of GPS navigation solutions that saves their maps on the SD-card. But they're pretty damn huge. Copilot is one of them! http://www.alk.eu.com/

i didnt get any bluetooth headset with the phone..but a normal headset.
wtfff
The low volume problem is really ashame. But I wonder if SE will do some software update for it in the near future. I think this issue is the biggest for the X10, because to hear it clearly supposed to be the most basic function for a PHONE.
Using a headset does solve the problem, but not everyone likes to wear a headset nor bluetooth all the time.

The Copilot seems to be nice, but is there any other GPS sotware that comes with maps and also free?
1. The volume, ok it's not very high but i think it's totally enough.. even when there's traffic going by i can still hear whom i'm talking to so yea, imo it's fine
2. I dont know of any pree downloaded gps software as of right know, but rumor has it TomTom is actually working on an Android version of their navigation system. I have no idea when it will be on market though.

Are you sure? I believe I've got prety sensitive ears. But on a public street with cars, I have to align the phone speaker exactly to my ear hold, open my ear, press it hard, squeeze the air out, focus everything on that ear ....
Well i've had no problems sofar hearing whom i speak to (and i have tinitus, yet no reduced hearing functionality) but maby i just naturaly align the speaker very tight to my ear. Anyways, like i said i think its fine, any lower though would be to low, right now its a "not to little not to much" level.

Try MapDroyd: You can get offline maps free but it doesn't have navigation feature.

me to very low if you smart enough just used the speaker and adjust the volume hehehehe thats what i did and you ca hear what his talking about .....
One big problem with navigation:
If you turn the volume of the speaker up playing music, gps loses satellites. The speaker in the back interferes with the gps radio.
HTC's reply? A complete and utter lie - it's overheating, and we turn off gps for you so the phone doesn't overheat. I tested this just now. It's the speaker or having something to do with the volume of the speaker. Heat in irrelevant in this specific case.
So, first they lie about the fps cap, then they lie about overheating. I'm beginning to get ticked off at these people.
P.S.
Another very small bug - when navigation is active, and you attempt to make a bt call from the bt car kit, screen turns off and the bt car kit starts to beep. I had to push the power button, and then everything worked perfect. Still, a bit annoying.
P.P.S. Oh yeah, stock rooted rom, 3.0 kernel for epson panels.

I have a stock rooted rom and running the gps+pandora radio+receiving phone calls all the time and no problems. I work on the road all day long.

You need to make the volume loud in the external speaker to lose gps.
funny i use my nav pandora etc etc all day and all together dont have troubles
if your that unhappy you can take it back and get a iphone4 just make sure you have some duct tape
why don't you use the car's speakers, instead of the phone's? i plug my phone into the radio, listen to it and adjust the volume through there. i think trying to use the speaker on the phone while i'm in the car would be a horrible experience

Do you have headphones plugged into the phone? Or are you playing the music through bt?
As I said earlier, it has to be the external speaker of the phone itself.
If your phone is rooted dont blame HTC for nothing, get a life, or an Iphone 4, like i seen so many ppl say my camera doenst work, after i rooted my Evo, cmon ppl, you know what you doing when you rooting your phone.
Ps. I am rooted with everything stock and mines work fine
Pps. Get an Apple phone, Or a motorola , I herd they dont have issues!!!

I use an FM transmitter. So I guess you could classify that as headphones

You said in your post you're using an aftermarket kernel, so how can you blame HTC.

I just tried stock kernel. Same problem.
Go read the other thread. Every single person, who said they didn't have that problem, later confirmed having it after more testing.
Here's how to test it.
Go outside and turn on gps and maps. Walk like 30-40 feet, see how responsive the location marker is (it works instantaneously, both in movement and rotation).
Now switch to the music player, run a fairly loud song, turn volume to maximum. Go back to maps.
It will either say gps lost, or the location marker will be stuck in one place.
Lower the volume to zero or plug in headphones, and gps will work again.
I've been having this frustrating problem with my headset and it keeps skipping, cutting in and out when I play music.
Anyone else encounter this?
Thanks.
Yea i use em, no problems here. Try another device/phone, could be faulty buds.
Also see how far you can be from your device until it completely stops, should be able to go a few metres. If it cuts out completely sooner than that, then it could be a reception problem with either the buds or device.
Only happens occasionally I am out walking on the streets and when i am at certain spots where there's interference. Otherwise works great!

Yes! That's my issue! Certain spots on the street. I wish I knew why.
Could be interference affecting the handshaking protocols and unable to recover.
Hey. I got serious problems with my G2. After I changed my cracked screen to a new one and booted my phone. Sat down on my chair, And I know that I got 3 -4 wifibars there, looked at my phone and saw the weak connection. My Bluetooth earphones start stuttering from a distance of my pocket now. So I have to walk with my phone next to my head to hear music. I know that it have to be something with the small golden connections to the backcover. But all of them seem to be ok. Can someone help me :/
