Titan 3.35.04 radio

My download on my speedtest seems really low:



Lol....now down is good and up is mediocre:

Only real issue I've noticed so far has to do with BT. When I pair a device, after the 2nd-to-last step (the one before you choose what services to use), it appears to get stuck. The screen to select services never appears. You can hit cancel, then when you go back into BT the device will be paired and you can click on the device and get the services screen.

My connection seems slow. anyone know if there is something i can do to help it out??

I think the reason he chose the 3.35 radio instead of the 3.37 is that the 3.35 supposedly has better gps support.

Thats the hypothesis being tested if the radio version does make a difference. Personally, i dont think it will make a huge difference. I think the chipset gps has limitations and sensitivity problems that it wont ever work like a bluetooth puck. I still see people with the official mogul gps ROM that have the same waiting for 1-3 min for it to start up as we do. i dont think the drivers or radio will change much here. I think its just something that were going to have to live with. Either the chipset is poor as a gps receiver, or the drivers htc wrote are poor. but i dont think this will ever work like a bluetooth receiver or standalone gps system.

I somewhat agree and disagree.

At this point the GPS on my Vogue is not as accurate as my Kaiser, my position jumps around 5-50 feet and it rarely gets an exact pinpoint.

On my Kaiser (which supposedly has similar hardware but different software [drivers and whatnot]) I am able to get a lock in several seconds with an exact pinpoint on my location. Also, many Kaiser users like myself report getting a faster lock with various radios. That's why I'm on the lookout for different radios (and drivers).

Anyways, the progress being made lately has been AMAZING! Props to those who have been raising the bar!

I agree with this statement as well. While I don't expect it to work as good as a standalone GPS unit, when mine gets a fix, it works just as good as my BT GPS receiver.

I think when people say its not accurate, they might be looking at the aGPS position Google Maps (or whatever program) picks up first. Since that's using cellular triangulation, its not going to be accurate. Once you get a lock on 3+ sats, it should be really accurate.

When I lock on 4+ sats, every GPS program I try gets my exact location, and it has also worked good while driving. I tried it using iGuidance (with GPSGate for the refreshing problem) on the interstate the other day for a 30 minute drive and it kept up with me and was very accurate.

If the standby issue still exists, I can live with that since I'm not going to be using GPS everyday. So far this ROM/Radio combo seems better than the other ones I've tried.

You also have to remember that this is still a hack. We're using a radio and drivers that aren't made for this device, so you can't expect it to work flawlessly.

With the Mogul GPS, I'm happy with a 1-3 minute startup from a cold start. My BT GPS unit took about a minute or so to get a lock.

thats what i was trying to say. While it works well, complaining it takes 1-2 min to get a fix is a little out of line. A bluetooth receiver takes just as long to get a cold fix. you cant expect a 10 second fix every single time. GPS results vary greatly even depending on the weather and your position (gps signal strength from the satellites).

The Kaiser was released with gps out of the box, so it seems like HTC spent more time on perfecting those to work well right away. But either way, when i had a kaiser it took a good minute to start up also. I dont think it was all that much better cold-start wise. It was a little more stable but of course were using cracked drivers not meant for our phone.

But i dont think taking Mogul drivers/radio (thought were already using the mogul dll's anyways?) and putting them into the Touch will change that much until an ifficial optimized update is out for us

I think so too and it must be a good radio since it came with the official Sprint Titan 3.35 ROM update. I'm having better reception, more bars, in my area.

boo this didn't cure my rev.a woes
