hmm, im curious. is the DHD and your DZ both have data and checked A-GPS function?

without data plan, DZ's gps is worse than anything else. try to turn off data and flash/reset ur phone. most probably the gps will take forever to fix.

Lol. Yours even better then me. I never had a chance to see the graphic after the screen goes awake from sleep. Best way for now is for me to increase the screen time out time to avoid it.

I never turn on AGPS, coz I'm a stingy person. Also never had data plan coz I have WiFi at home.

If anyone is interested, there is a 2nd hand original SIS set, warranty till May 2012, selling for 785 at Lelong website. That is a a good bargain! Brand new AP set is around 1k

@dj, usually whn i quit the game, i'll have FCs unless i reinstall the plugin and select it manually (doesnt work everytime) and whn i lock screen, it blanks on unlock..

I guess bugs are to be expected when running something that is not supposed to be running on our phones in the first place. Should be grateful it even runs! haha

yeah! im really enjoying the physics of the game! jst downloaded bang bang racing, GOF2, Trainz simulator xD

serious or not. i plan to use without turning on data connection leh..........

either this or N8 will be my next phone

Mr. DJfoo said it was fine for him. but for me, i can really feel the difference where my papago just refused to get fix on satellite. but whenever i turn on my AGPS, cost a little bit of data, it get fixed almost instantly, no joke.

try to restart your phone... some times it is not your problem, even my stand alone Papago R5800 device do not get any signal sometimes...
it is either is too cloudy or some others things kua... even my fren WinMo have problem to get signal that time... my GF and his partner is with him going to eat seafood at Penang that time...

it is fine for me with or without AGPS or Data plan...

another choice is back-up all your stuff using Titanium back up or backup pro... factory reset it lets see if that works... sometimes it might be caching problems kua...

ahh there's an app to boost your GPS signal when running GPS. but i forgot what is it call plus im at work now.

It works the same way like maximizing wifi/3g signal.

I have used the GPS without data, as long as i am directly under the sky ( not inside a building etc) the GPS locks very fast, but slightly slower than with data enabled. just slightly.

You can try using an app, GPS Status, to reset the cached locations etc, it might help

Hrmm... I wiped EFS before when switching from CM6 to CM7 coz GPS breaks in CM7 the first time I ran it. Dunno if that makes any difference.

guys... Desire HD Sense 3.0 leak already ported to Desire Z by bro Siulmagic in XDA... fast ROM... but u need to patch the Superuser after u flash the ROM, coz there is some problem...

lol, factory reset. i been constantly flashing rom months to months.

well, at the same position im comparing my gps with motorola atrix, mytouch 4g. both htc device have a bad gps reception while atrix get fixed way more faster and more accurate. and i been daily restart my phone at 3am with titanium backup. i dont see it as my phone need a restart whenever i use my phone as navigator. and not jz papago having problem, the gps problem persist throughout the platform such as Aura, google map have problem to get fix.

but again, whenever i on my data. it just works like a magic. if you ask me what rom am i using, i cant answer it exactly as im been switching from cm to miui to sense and again and again.

oh yeah, i remembered that. that zip works like a magic too. that is incredible! my gps able to fix since that. seriously before that zip, my gps jz dead.

hey, IINM, there is no only-AGPS. there is only 2 option right?

1st is use satalite (real GPS) and the 2nd is to turn on wireless network. no AGPS option leh. unlike nokia s60.

but i really need a phone with at least 3.7" above to view PDF and web surfing

the reason why i need a good GPS phone is because i'm still very new to KL

this phone has it. check the specs here http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_z-3421.php

nowadays most of the newer phones have A-GPS.

This phone + Papago or Modded Google Maps is a good navigating tool. I prefer the modded google maps though

Gaps will turn on itself when you have data connection for the phone... There is no button...

@azrash, what do u mean modded googlemaps??? Google map is not as updated as Papago la, for Malaysia I think is at least 2 hrs ago...

i think the a-gps function is rom dependent. i believe MIUI and CM7 have the option.

i think modded google map is the one which allow offline caching of map data and enabled navigation. google map is good in searching poi instead of navigation and hence papago+google map is good navigation tool.

@michael if we install google maps from market, we are not able to use Google's Navigation app that is included. Brut.al modded the apk file to unlock worldwide navigation, and map caching. this is what im using now.you can get it here Google Maps Onwhere - Worldwide Navigation

hahaha i know, but i just love the features of Google Maps, if i starred a place in maps.google.com through my PC, I can easily access it from the android app.
