what is the best way for a program to call on the gps? i have a program that uses gps to track the vehicle the device is in, but the gps doesnt seem to be picked up by the program on my i9000 it was designed for the htc desire but i would imagine android handles most of the comms to the hardware and passes it to the programs, am i correct here? if im wrong and the hardware is being addressed directly would that explain my problem? also would there be any way to solve the issue? (i have decompiled the apk)
this is a program not written by me so uploading code from it is not really an option (unless its direct to the person helping)
thanks, melli

hi everyone , i am looking for an application to turn on flash light at the of wizard so i can use it for example to see key hole of the my main door in the dark
any one has any info? i belive vijay555 can create one?
nolovelust: man, you have to check if anyone has asked this question before, and you really shouldn't say stuff like that about me!
I believe I can make one as well, but there's a lot of incredible guys on here, and I'm an insignificant beginner, so it's disrespectful to the others :wink:
I have done some work on the flash. I'll be posting some info shortly, most likely failure, but with a way to achieve success. I'll clarify soon.

sory about that i didn't mean to be rude to anyone and search option of phpBB is a bit unusefull when you search more than one words you need to know almost exact topic name ( or am i doing something wrong? )
Yeah, it's useless with boolean searches. I've found it more helpful if you tell it to show posts, not topics.
Basically, AFAIK, it's not been achieved yet. But I know it can be, and I've done some work on it. But being nearly there isn't the same as being there, so no, I haven't done it yet. But...

Guys, as of 3am yesterday I managed to control the flash, so I've made the torch app for the Universal.

I'll report back shortly, but there is flash light on the back of the wizard, right? I will start checking if I can write this for the wizard as well.
<cheeky mode>
If anyone has a spare Wizard available (IMEI blocked is fine, I need the hardware only), a donation would aid development immensly :wink:

Yep, there is a flashlight on the back of the Wizard.

vijay555 - you could just have a Wizard owner try the code you're using on the Exec? Chances are it's the same driver/etc. (IA Camera)
ZeBoxx: I'm sure it's likely to be the same code, but curiously the hard reset code wasn't the same between these devices. There's different mechanisms required to hard reset a Universal and a Wizard. I'm going to try to rip a rom from the FTP and have a look. There are several apps I need to investigate for several slightly overlapping hacks I'm working on.
Also, the different processors require a different treatment with some of these hacks... but if I get to that position, I'll shout out for a wizard beta tester. I'll have to try to get hold of one briefly to try out an app or two... off to the O2 shop to "demo" one

Guys, on my website I've posted VJCandelaLite 0.2 beta. This is hopefully Wizard compatible, but I can't test it since I don't have one. Someone brave, please give it a go and report back
Thanks!

No go on wizard - details in:

Hi all,
I'm looking for a very simple program which will read GPS coordinates from my bluetooth GPS receiver and use a GET or FORM request to upload them to a website, i.e.
www.website.com/gps.php?n=000.000&w=000.000
Does such a program exist? I've had a look around here and on Google and can't find anything.
If not, I would be willing to have a go at making it. In this instance, does anyone have any pointers for reading the data from the Com port?
Thanks
Oliy

Thanks for the link, however all the solutions in there are far more complex than what I want, or limited to me making an account on someone else's server.
Is there just a really simple app to do this? Or could anyone provide source code of getting the GPS coordinates, and I could make the rest of the program from there.
Cheers
Oliy: it's a little more involved then just reading the com port. What kind of experience do you have? You have to do quite a bit of token and string parsing. Have a read of the GPS protocols:

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for the link. String and token parsing is fine. I have plenty of experience in core operations of programming languages, it's when you get into hardware specific things that I have very little experience.
I don't have a whole lot of time to program at the moment, I start my internship on monday and I have work on my own little OmapScaler project building up as well, but I've found a guy on this forum who seems to have the same ideas as me, I've PMd him and will hopefully get a reply soon.

i was just curious as to whether certain programs that im using for my touch pro 1 will work with the touch pro 2.
htorch,mortscript(used for random ringtones),s2u2,.net configuration tool,barcorama,cab xpress,clear temp,diamond tf3d configuration tool,diamond tv,diamond tweak (and if this will not work will sum1 please recommend a similar program designed for the vzw tp2),go news touch,microsoft live search,pandora (the version i have right now doesnt display properly so if theres a more appropriate one please recommend),personalizer(changes carrier name),ppcgeeks mobile(gotta have this),and the mobile youtube app. also, if anyone knows of any other useful apps that will definitely work for the touch pro 2 id love to give them a try...
the only other question i have regards the gps in the vzw tp2...my question is, is i download google maps (or anything that uses gps) will it automatically work or is the sumthing like the "bored" fix that ill have to do...id love to be able to use gps but i tried bored's fix on my touch pro 1 and couldnt get it to work...
any other recommendations pertaining to the tp2 would be greatly appreciated
Please don't make the same post in multiple forum sections.
Like mad_tunes said, just try the apps.
Although, you really should use common sense when dealing with apps that are device-specific. It doesn't make sense to install apps that tweak parts of the device that aren't there...
Hello,
because I’m a newbie, I hope to be in the right forum (because I only have question but no answer …).
Here’s my problem:
I can’t get GPS to work on my Samsung J320F (2016)! It always “seems” to function, but neither Google-Maps can find a position, nor openstreetmap. When I try to look after the actual address, mostly a place some kilometers away from my position is shown (if at all …).
Since now I’ve tried about nearly 10 different ROM-images, most of them had been called “stable“, and other users wrote about their working GPS.
Actually, I’ve installed RR-N-v5.8.5-20181025-j3xlte-Unofficial (2nd version with the same name …), before that I tried e.g. lineage-14.1-20190705-UNOFFICIAL-j3xlte.zip, RR-N-v5.8.5-20171003-bacon-Unofficial-RomilParh, DreamReborn1.4.zip, lineage-13.0-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-j3xnlte, lineage-13.0-20171128-UNOFFICIAL-j3xnlte.zip or lineage-13.0-20180208-UNOFFICIAL-j3xnlte.
Does anybody have a hint what I might do wrong, or how I could fix or at least locate the problem?
Everything else mostly works fine, and with the original operating system (Android 5.1) also GPS worked.
Thanks in advance
Christoph
Found the solution

Hello together,
it looks like I have found the solution! It wasn’t the ROM or OS, but just the map-software I used seems to be faulty.
When I take the app "maps.me" instead of google maps or openstreetmap, everything works fine! (And to find out this, I needed several days …)
So, the thread can be closed. Maybe it can help others with a similar problem.
Bye,
Christoph
Been looking at ways to add voice commands to my Android TS10 head unit, My last car had a little pad and buttons that was in easy reach but now the system is a little reach.
Having not had much luck with google assistant, I found a program called Toppal. Does anybody use it or heard of it and is it any good.
Here is a link to the site https://toppal.ai/
And here is a video of it in action
I'll follow this thread as my units come with Toppal preinstalled (but only the basic level, you have to pay for upgrade) but to me it's just a nuisance using resources, I've never tried to actually use it and I have asked here if anyone knows how to remove it without causing anything else to fail, but I got no answers.

I use Isudar in my car radio, but since my English is not good, they don't use it much. I would like the Czech language there, and I have not been able to set it as default yet. English only.
