Overclocking and gps of Polaris

[sedde]

Hello, i have as well picked up my polaris just today, but i didnt buy it from the local distributors of htc ( ace hellas ) i bought an english version since i hate greek on my phones etc. Unfortunately it came as silver edition, tho i cant really complain about the looks of it.

My question now, is there any overclock utility for the qualcomm platform or shall i not mess with it ?

I installed my old destinator 6 in it, 6.1.1 edition that is, and i was wondering, is there a way to enable a-gps or is it always enabled ? ( destinator 7 sucks , well the version i had did, the ui didnt scroll map around and it was pissing me off ).


PS : I havent used it yet, i just installed the screen protector and i am atm charging it.

Any info would be much appreciated, thanks a lot.

You do not ned to enable a-GPS. Just run QuickGPS in order to get the current satellite positions for the next 6 days. Then satlock is much faster.

a-GPS wil work if the signal is present, its mostly used on internal buildings where GPS is required, obviously using standard tech you wouldnt get a signal but a-gps uses a series of special transmitters to relay the correct location, rather cleaver really but utterly usless for 90% of folk.

quick GPS is ok, but to be honest ive never had a problem locking on to sats in anything more than a couple of mins

these people are correct. a-gps is in all gps enabled devices by default as far as i know that are manufactured by htc. quickgps is just there to make the time to get a lock less. it can cut the lock time down even 50% in some cases.

best example i have is a few days ago quick gps expired on my athena and the lock took id say 6 min bc i was inside a min. i closed tomtom and opened quickgps to update and afterwords it was maybe 3 min if not less.


overclocking is not really needed. ur looking at a dual core qualcomm 7200. 1 core handles pretty much voice while the other 400 mhz core carries the gaming and other heavier things. its not needed from expirence with my hermes which was a single core 400mhz.

btw: i recommend u try tomtom. i find it the best for ME and u might too. hope this helped u.

Tomtom unfortunately doesnt support greece so far, only athens ( capital ) and i dont live at it so destinator is the best choice for me atm.

ΤΟΜ ΤΟΜ maps for Greece is a disappointment.

destinator 7 sucks , well the version i had did, the ui didnt scroll map around and it was pissing me off.
Try this version (copy & paste) of Destinator 7 with my Greek & skin, works perfect and is only for registered users. I thik you are in wrong forum. :p

I cant say i am in the wrong forum tbh, i didnt came here to ask for gps programms, only some specific questions.

Thank you for your link though, i knew the skin was wrong and it wasnt working correctly but i guess i was too lazy to fix it.

I strongly disagree with no need for overclocking.

A tool for overclocking is very needed, for running some emulators (for example the PS1 Emulator). I think you need at least 500 (maybe 600) Mhz to get smooth fps.
