QUOTE(^Hobbes^ @ Jun 9 2008, 02:11 PM) Do i turn on the Agps or turn it off? Saw the option in Schaps Advanced Config I know AGPS may use the GPRS for data, so if i turned it on while i rake up an enormous bill? It took mine about 10 mins to get a fix  I tot the Diamond came with EGPS? But in HTC's website i oni saw AGPS? editted:wrong info.. refer below for eGPS and aGPS... aj350z: i use regedit.. free and useful at all times..

QUOTE(aj350z @ Jun 9 2008, 02:16 PM) hey what do you guys recommend to use as a registry editor? i know there a few out there - wanted to see what LYN forumers recommend... thanks! i think it has been disscuss before la bro...but nvm la 1) memmaid( i use this one) 2) sktools 3) resco explorer that comes with the registry editor option... well depends of ur preference actually...personally i choose memmaid due to the ease of use..and it also includes other tools as well ie:reclaim memory and a cleaner (that clean ur storage space from dead registry,bad apps link etc) This post has been edited by damagedigital: Jun 9 2008, 02:39 PM

I am using Resco File Explorer, you may also try memaid QUOTE(Seaedge @ Jun 9 2008, 02:32 PM) Agps is to help you get faster fix, so if u turn it off, you might get slow fix during cold start. if i am not mistaken, Egps is the name of Agps for HTC; HP wise will be QuikGPS. It is used to download the data and it supposed to last 3 days so it wont update as often as Nokia... aj350z: i use regedit.. free and useful at all times.. But i cant seem to find EGPS setting for the Diamond Wah if download data on GPRS quite expensive wor, luckily its turned off by default Thanks seaedge

For the reclaim memory wat does it do? Clear your mem cache? Have but it says expire  The thing about diamond is i cant seem to set it to use wifi oni, the settings all point towards ISP and no option for AP Wa that is fast, it took mine 10 min

Thanks man  yup it's the same deal with the quickgps... just don't tick the option to auto update the weather..if not everytime u visit the weather tab it'll try to do an auto download...this will use ur non wifi connection if u r not on wifi at that time...

Just to clarify some mistakes regarding for Egps and Agps i said previously. QUOTE(wikipedia) Enhanced GPS (or E-GPS, EGPS, trademarked as eGPS) is a technology designed for mobile phones on GSM and W-CDMA networks, to augment GPS signals to deliver faster location fixes, lower cost implementations and reduced power and processing requirements. It is being developed by CSR who has partnered with Motorola &endash; together they intend to create an open industry forum.
According to CSR, EGPS delivers a "universal positioning capability that will not only work reliably indoors and in zero GPS signal conditions, but greatly speed time to fix in poor GPS reception areas where most handsets are used." More specifically, it can "exploit data available from the cellular network to speed GPS fixes and provide complementary, fast, and reliable location sensing when GPS signals are weak or unavailable." CSR is hoping to add eGPS capabilities to handsets for under $1 per unit.
E-GPS combines CSR's "Matrix" technology with GPS – when a user initiates a location request they get a Matrix location instantly using cell tower information, accurate to within 100m. Then CSR's "Fine Time Aiding" helps the device know where to look for a GPS signal, to quickly acquire satellite information within seconds. Fine Time Aiding enables a more aggressive search and is claimed to be equivalent to 6 dB more sensitivity than can be achieved by any GPS hardware correlator in the terminal.
CSR claim that this enables software-only GPS solutions to operate reliably in all environments, and that eGPS is superior to Assisted GPS. EGPS technologies are due in 2008. oh yeah... damagedigital, if ur gps can fix 10sec n below.. its call hotstart. coldstart usually takes near 45sec-1min. and hobbes case, its called annonymous start where it is fresh start without any data for fix. the shortest for annonymous start is 90sec and can take as long as 30min if it is not under clear sky.

Yes i think i got annonymous start damm long weiii But after it starts, i close the gps and i turn it back on, it fixed in like <5 second Thanks for the information seaedge  But i dont see any options to turn on EGPS for my Diamond

no no... egps is like a built in features. the one to control is quikgps. if quikgps is shown as expired, just update it with wifi if u dont want to use 3g unless u under unlimited plan.

[/quote] hehehe..really??i tot if u fired up ur gps for the 1st time it called coldstart??? pening2 [/quote] it depends. if your 1st time start gps, it is annonymous start. but then if u already updated the egps, you can get very fast fix. but if u dont use egps, it can take quite sometime under clear sky.
