GPS Quickfix for Kaiser

[boldie007]

Does anybody know?

Is there or will be a gps quickfix solution available?
Similar as it is available for the p3300?

Thanks for any information.

[Kurgann]

yes, It's the same as on the HP hw6915.

Yes and you can set it to auto download the quickfix weekly.

About how long does it take to get a fix when data has been downloaded with quickfix?

you guys that own the P4550 .. can you enlighten me on what chipset the GPS is ??

I'm doing research and I find mix listing of specs when it comes to the GPS chipset !!

Thanks.

and how did you managed to get it before official released ??? did they released it earlier in different continents ?? am I right in thinking that there are many versions ??

I know atleast 3 versions due to release ( mainly with no camera/camera/dual cameras ) ... and that's about it !

even saw conflicting info as in the processor chip --->> Samsung vs Qualcomm too.

:eek: :confused: :confused:

After running quick GPS fix on my TyTN II, getting an initial lock only takes about 5 seconds.

Actually, I thought the 6915 used the GL chipset;
and for some reason, I was under the impression that the Kaiser did NOT use the GL chipset...? I could be wrong here, though.

I think "Tracy & Matt" reported that when you use the Quick GPS teh timezone changes ?? Anybody ??

[PhilipL]

Hi

Yes it does change the time Zone, seems to be a bug in it somewhere.

Must be something specific to European timezones -- I'm using a UK device set for US Eastern time, and I don't see the change.

[PhilipL]

Hi

For me the device is on GMT London time zone and after the quick fix is run the time zone goes an hour ahead for GMT + 1 Prague. Probably some confusion over daylight saving time or the database we connect looks at the IP address from where we connect from to see what time zone we are in, and this data is wrong for us?

So far I gather from other sites that quickfix is meant to use info about the future position of satellites to speed up the "look-up" time when GPS is used. Can anyone tell me if quickfix is a program I install on my PPC or is it a setting I adjust in the gps software on the PPC?

Quickfix is a program that comes loaded standard on the TyTn II and yes it loads sat data to the phone to speed up the fix. The download is good for about 6 days before it needs a refresh. I set mine to update with active sync.

[jamespaulritter]

Thanks for the reply. Since the OP has been answered and were on the subject of GPS can someone tell me how to get GPS working. In google maps and windows live I get the message that the gps is not responding.

I apologize if this is a very basic question. I don't have my Kaiser yet (waiting for shipment) and I'm not familiar with Quickfix other than what I've read on the forums lurking.

Doesn't the GPS require you to be outside to get a fix? Or is your Kaiser close enough to the window or edge of a building to still get a fix when you run ActiveSync?

Yes, you need to have the Kaiser in a place where it can "see" the sky, outside is best. All GPS receivers then scan for sattellites and download data from them to triangulate a "fix" of your location on earth. The more sats the better the accuracy with 3 or more needed. Anyhow, the first (cold) fix can take some time, up to many minutes to find and download the data.

The quickfix program downloads alot of the needed sat data from the internet rather than the satellites. This gives the Kaiser's GPS a rough idea where on earth it is before it even starts. This saves time with startup later, when you are outside and turn on the GPS to get a fix for a program. The quickfix data is good for about 6 days and then needs to be updated either via active sync or over the wireless phone network (the quickfix data comes from HTC's servers).

So, quick fix is just a helper to speed up the reception of GPS data so that you can get a fix in seconds instead of minutes.
