Access to GPS on a780

[mightymop]

You're talking about the "Device Status" panel that comes up when the status bar is tapped, right? With other options including Battery, Time, Current Network, Net ID, Antenna (on/off), GPRS (on/off), etc.?

yes there should be the option (at the and of the menu)

I don't get a GPS option in there at all. Searching around the libraries, it looks like libezxam has a bunch of references to what might be an option called "AGPS", is that what's in your Device Status panel?

yes too

I thought it was a full-blown GPS implementation -- If it's truly assisted GPS, it's not likely to work on my side of the world...

it is real gps but could use agps functions if the net supports
> faster
> less energy

thats what i've read and it works cause my net provider does not support agps so i only use gps for getting position signals and this often takes a little while

yes too

So you have two GPS-related options in there?
It might really clear things up if somebody could post a picture...

no only AGPS-option, but it uses gps if there is no agps support by the gsmnet

[samr7]

no only AGPS-option, but it uses gps if there is no agps support by the gsmnet

So the option is whether to use A-GPS at all, if it's available? Otherwise non-assisted GPS only?

I still want to see a picture.

the option is:

AGPS: on/off

off > dish has a red cross (deactivated)

could make a pic in the evening... i have been searching my digicam for 2 hours LOL

so here is a pic (german a74 firmware)

If you use english as menu language the option is only called "GPS".
Since no german provider supports AGPS the my german A780 must have real GPS.
I think the 'german translation' is bogus. CoPilot doesn't work if GPS or 'AGPS' is switched off.

true true

samr7: Try the attached prog with the lapi socket (in /tmp) as its param. Keep lapisrv straced. It talks to lapisrv and attempts to get it to the point where it starts providing location info. When used on a phone with a working GPS, lapisrv configures the GPS mux device and starts getting data. On a phone with GPS disabled, lapisrv just hangs and times out.

If this prog will cause lapisrv to config the mux and start spitting some data, maybe there's hope.

Can't wait to hear the results.

Nice, Mack. That program seems to make lapisrv talk about a GEOLOCATION_APBP_REQ now. How cool. Unfortunately it seems to go catatonic afterwards, with nothing coming back over the /dev/mux14 handle. So sadly I have nothing new to report.
