GPS Lag?

[Ticklemepinks]

no lag on mine... i <3 my tp2

[KrazyKevin76]

Just tried it on the way home for work on my sprint tp2. I was atleast 2 seconds off, sometimes 3. And thats with google maps and the built in sprint software. Its the same as it was on my TP1.

I had extreme lag on my AT&T TP1, I couldn't even use my GPS for trips involving a lot of turns like city driving because it simply wouldn't keep up, and I would end up just looking at the list of directions and following that instead. I only tried Garmin XT though, so I'm not sure if that was a software or hardware issue. I tried various GPS tweaks to no avail.

No idea on the TP2 since I don't have mine yet, but I'll be sure to test it.

You guys that are experiencing lag with the TP2, have you tried to enable your QuickGPS program that is built in to see if that helps at all?

ok i will chime in here since i already chimed in on another thread i started...the gps lag is horrendous to say the least on this device. I have tried google...telenav(sprint app) garmin xt and tomtom...all with the same results...standing still in my driveway it shows me on the next block 30 feet away. Driving 30mph up to the next intersection...it doesnt catch up till well after i have made my turn. I know this is a phone first but when you promote a product as having said features...at least make them work. i have a mogul that i use for standalone gps and the damn thing is more accurate than my finedrive 350 gps. I honestly feel this is just another slapdash build put out by htc.

has anyone tried putting it in standalone mode. I know the driver & reg's are different. on the tp1 i think it's just one referring to PDE enabled 1 or 0 .

It says my location within "900 yards" which in my neighborhood is like 5 blocks away.

FIX IS HERE -

Sounds like you're only working w/ 'AGPS', so not true GPS.
First in Google Maps do you have the option checked to 'Use GPS'?

I had the same issues at first, then I followed the instructions and ran the apps as in this post -

Make sure you install the SDKcerts CAB first, then restart the phone. Then install Quick GPS. This will restart for you a second time now. Then connect to the internet via browser or whatever, then run QuickGPS and 'Download' the latest satellite info. When I didn't connect to the net first, QuickGPS failed to download the updates.

Now run Google Maps, should be almost instantaneous. If not, uncheck the Use GPS and then recheck it. My TomTom does like to take a bit to sync up, but when I go to the Settings>GPS Config area then it finds the satellites real quick.

I think you are referencing lock times. I have a very quick lock on sats, but the lag in tracking movement for navigation in TomTom is a fu%#king joke! I had used TomTom on my mogul and touch with flawless precision and now with the TP2 it is completely unusable. I saw on XDA there was an improvement for GSM models, but so far no love for CDMA. Hopefully a fix or firmware update soon will help.

You are not the first person I have heard say this. Not good.

Well, so much for getting the TP2 for Sprint for me. I was SO hoping that they would pay attention to the lag issue. GPS is my killer app (love my Garmin) as I travel very frequently across the US, but I'm also directionally stupid, so the lag kills me. Now I need to figure out what I'm going to do, as there aren't any other good options for SERO...

crap crap crap crap.
