Well, I installed for fun...



qwerty. always bringing the hottest **** first.

Cool! Installed too. Really it works. I had a fix in my house around of trees and other buildings, in a little time.

Also it connected to 8 satellites whereas before it wasn't capable of overcoming 4.

Though it can be a placebo effect, who knows. I will continue testing it.

Oh.. My.. ***king.. God... !!

Let me be the first to say that with agps-ui installed and configured, I got a fix from the satellites within seconds.. Yes, you read it right, SECONDS !!

Never before did I get a fix this quickly.. It always used to take several minutes..

Not any more shall I feel embarrassed before my friends when trying to get us somewhere quickly. With this, it will be quickly

Thanks to NOKIA who finally made this available.. Well, that, and Diablo

At Last!
Wowo

Need to figure out the password

Let me recap.. it uses the AGPS info thru the cellphone connected via BT right ?
So, of course, we need AGPS support from the provider, is that correct ?

Other than that, is there any improvement in fix time?

It use AGPS with wifi. I haven't tested it with a cellphone yet. So about the provider I think isn't important.


And the fix time is faster
Cold fix was about 1-2 minutes.
Hot fix 30 seconds aprox.

So it looks at IP address and then uses that data? Could someone test using a mobile and report back? This would really make the GPS useful as a pedestrian.

Uh, it uses WiFi ?
You know how that works ?

I am surprised.

I don't know how it works, but the two packages (closed-source, of course) that are installed are agps-ui and supl-daemon ("Package for supporting SUPL protocol").
SUPL = Secure User Plane Location

If someone knows what SUPL is, could tell us how it works.

Seems they are planning more community involvement, also taking into account Jaffa's article.
