Access to GPS on a780

[samr7]

so here is a pic (german a74 firmware)

Thanks for posting, dude...

What does Copilot do if you turn "AGPS" off? Does it fail to get location altogether?

[mack]

samr7, if lapisrv hangs at this point, it probably means this SEEM change didn't really activate the GPS. If you try to repeat the experiment with the GPS-related SEEM off, you'll see the same behavior. Maybe some other SEEM change is required ?

btw, just to be sure, did you try to take the phone outside the window for a min or two with this strace running, to see if you get anything ? Maybe it only starts spitting data once it gets a signal ?

copilot will not start when gps is off....

It will be nice if someone can try the SEEM edits with a firmware that now has Copilot on the phone (upgraded from a non-Copilot image.)

In the mean time I will play with more SEEM edits. I still do not have TransFlash card and can not do FW upgrade myself

I have upgraded from non-copilot version to
AP:....74....
BP:....40....
CoPilot starts.
GPS Icon is visible, crossed via red line.
In the menu it shows GPS, but.. no listbox to switch on/off.
Starting CoPilot says no GPS signal.

I'd like to compare the seems of GPS and non-GPS phones and see if there are any other bits we could set to enable the GPS.

Could someone with a GPS phone please upload his seem 0032_0001 ?

If you don't have a p2k tool installed, you can use the attached prog, like that:

# ./get_seem_0032_0001 >seem_0032_0001-gps

and upload the file seem_0032_0001-gps.

(I hope the prog works. I only tested it on my phone )

Thanks.

btw, did anyone else notice that non-GPS phones have some GPS-related strings in some seems, such as 004e_0001.seem 004f_0001.seem 0050_0001.seem 0051_0001.seem ?

Mack, did you notice something?
tell us

Mack,

I was only looking in 32 SEEM. I was alost ready to give up when I saw your posting. I saw couple of other threads where they concluded that we may not have GPS after all. But, I do not believe moto will go through the pain of manufacturing two different HW.

Lets keep trying

what does it take not to populate the AGPS chip? No h/w changes required whatsoever... I guess asian version doesn't have the chip populated, while european version has it. and yes, different seems to "hide" the configurations.
