How do you know PAPAGO not using A-GPS? I can't find a A-GPS option in my HTC Desire settings...only enable or disable GPS location....other Anroid phones have A-GPS settings?

All Android phone come with a-GPS and need to enable @setting..correct me if I'm wrong...I said their don't use a GPS Coz Papago not using data to. Lock even in the jungle can lock the satt..

What i am asking is WHERE DO YOU SET THE SETTINGS? BEcause i dun see it on my HTC Desire. Which Android you are using? Even then it doesn't mean PAPAGO don't use A-GPS. If somehow you disabled it, then supposely it'll use the GPS only. I am not sure about data coz i am on Digi Smartplan 68, so never bothered...but on my Wave 2, PAPAGO M7 definitely make use of advanced download of data for the satellite location, otherwise it's impossible to lock.

can u teach me how to install papago for my galaxy S i9000?

Can see at my saggy what phone I using...my phone can set @ settings>security &locations...I'm also don't bother with data bcoz I'm on unlimited data corporate Maxis...u can email papago dev, asking abt their use the a-gps or not...hehe...what I know I can lock within 20 second on my device ..
here the screenshot

Take note, PAPAGO! is not a FREE software.

Copy(either downloaded from the Internet or from Disc or whatever sources) the necessary files and put them into your Galaxy S's SD(root folder).
Open the folder, find the .apk file inside and install it to your phone. Insert your license key done.

Pirated Version method is not allowed to discuss here.

That is GPS...not A-GPS....same like mine. My best locking record is like 3 to 5 seconds.

You have to go outdoors. GPS requires line of sight. Install GPS Test from Marketplace, enable your GPS, then start the app. You can clearly see how many satellites your phone can detect in the open sky. Then the phone will try to lock on to them one by one. Once you have at least 4 locks, GPS can pinpoint and follow your location already. Once locked, exit GPS Test, start Papago, and your location will be shown

R u sure that is not a-gps.?..actually what is a-gps means?
.dude I'm quite sure u cannot lock from cold start within 3 to 5 seconds....hehehe...prove me if u can ....

I think it's this one. The description sounds like AGPS (using network to set location).
Settings -> Location and security -> Use wireless networks (Set location in applications (such as Maps) using wireless networks)

Correct ..I'm quite sure that's what we call A-GPS!..hehe...

Hi guys... Just bought an android phone with papago x5 in it. I found out that the map inside papago doesn't show traffic light sign like garmin did. Is this normal?

If u are on data plan then it will works, cost it involves data transfer, or wifi network also can... it helps to lock your location faster thats all...

I manage to get it lock within 5 secs...

Some information to share:
Those who have like problem with PAPAGO! which PAPAGO! detects your location too slow or it just won't locate you.
Run GPS Status(find it from market) with internet once 1st to download some A-GPS thingy. This is important as GPS Status need internet to set up for the 1st time.
Then, the next time you want to use PAPAGO!, turn on GPS Status and have it run for a while(minutes or seconds, depending your phone GPS speed). Exit GPS Status.
Turn on PAPAGO, you'll get LOCK ON almost instantly or instantly.

No matter wat u need internet connection for the a-gps function...

If u wann lock faster u can do as per bro Darksilver said, turn on the gps b4 launch papago...

u can exit GPS Status eh?

I thought no Android apps can exit

good idea

I think i read somewhere the GPS issue for Samsung Galaxy S is fix on October 2010 batch onward.
For the guys with older Samsung Galaxy S (or it variants), just install FasterFix and GPS Aids from the market, both free. Run FasterFix (just once) and then GPS Aids periodically (maybe once a week).
You can see the different now with you able to get faster GPS lock.

With clear view of the sky (without or with cloud) I usually can get lock within 10 seconds with my SGS.

Btw guy, when i'm using papago x5 in my SGS with voice after awhile driving i get force close.
But when mute do not have fc. Have you guy encounter the same issue?

Erm, my phone has no data plan yet. Offed all my data transfers, and tried on the highway once. It got my location and fixed my destination withing a few seconds...So im guessing, it does not use data, but just GPS.
