its ok la. Let TS have the freedom to take control lor just i got no chance to improve it further only. I have alot of ideas just lack of time to perform it.

At least the frontpage town looks much better compare to last time. Even N97 thread stealing the idea from this thread.

installed garmin 3days ago,

tried it twice, functional, but a little bit late to get first signal.

secondly, if i put it in my pocket, it will turn off itself

maybe too tight / power button too sensitive.

anybody else got the same prob?

i must say .. our 5800 thread is really good... lots of info in the FP ... kudos to u guys

tried it twice, functional, but a little bit late to get first signal.

Added on October 20, 2009, 2:01 amOh yea i just learned that if Garmin have 3bars its capable to get 2D

If 4 bars able to get 3D

and i also learned that how gps works. It just send a signal up and calculate how long it reaches the satelitte and thats how it also tracks your location. How long for the signal from your phone reaches the satelitte and back

Whats da point u put your phone in your pocket when navigate?

it turn off..
complete shut down

actually u can have it back on v21 if u want. my final exams are coming soon and im not sure if i can handle the updates. if theres no one to take over well its ok la

if im using garmin, of course la its in my hand


i'm talking about my hp shutdown itself while in my pocket

I found out that car mount is very handy not only when using the gps. Very convenient making video calls also

yah i figured tat... but not a big deal... if urgently need a signal just enable the a-gps for a bit.. haha...

Last time my 5800XM gps like crap. Lately after i update garmin to 5.05 and firmware V31

Clear sky with only integrated gps it lock to satelitte in 30secs.

Added on October 20, 2009, 2:10 amcar mount also improve the GPS lock time because its only between u, 5800 and your windscreen when u holding it alot of interfearance

u mean the garmin .50 and v31 ? i'm using that too ... seems a bit slower compared to old v30. used to b able to get good lock with i-gps in less than 1min ..esp on the highway and not city (with buildings etc)... open road... takes less than 1min .. but nowadays seems with v31.. taking at least 5min -10min

bump!

re-explain:

i didnt on my garmin;
i just put it in my pocket;
i walk / drive;
i take my 5800; but its already shutdown by itself.
i need to start it again

i dont see any solution for my problem.

and no, if i shake my hp, it didnt shut down

haha i'm using carmount too ... easier to look n navigate rather put on the lap
