Guest emaN resU Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have a working 6.1 kitchen. I'll drop the 6.1 ROM first, then 6.5 following. Sweet, I'll be following your progress. I am looking forward to my first 6.5 flash with the new CF ROM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FutureMD311 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 For people on Win7 RC 64bit. I have successfully flashed CF03 by setting compatibility to Vista SP2. I know the site FAQ's say x64 is not compatible but, my phone works and so does the GPS. Bing's locate me function does NOT work for me, although GPS is pretty speedy.

Guest FutureMD311 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 i wouldnt call it aGPS just yet since Bing's locate me feature doesn't work and that's SUPPOSED to be an aGPS. But on Google maps many people including me are getting locks within 2000 meters before clicking use gps. after clicking use gps, locks are VERY fast....sounds promising!

Guest UggTheThug Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have to second that GPS locks are extremly fast. After waitin the usual two minutes to get the first true lock, I pulled out the battery and retried it. Not even two seconds after I turned on Use GPS it found me dead on, inside the house on a cloudy day ;) . For now ill wait on flashin to 6.5, prolly wait on BW to cook up somthin good off new CF03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chugworth Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Google Maps will now instantly give you a highly imprecise location. But I think this is just tower triangulation, and not true aGPS. From what I understand, with aGPS the network provider sends the phone information to help it obtain a GPS lock faster. But the i910 still takes just as long as before to obtain an accurate GPS reading. On the bright side, at least you can instantly know what town you are in. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adrynalyne Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I have a mostly pure i910 repo already before this rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aero1366 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Anyone know if IGO can take advantage of our newly acquired AGPS capabilities? I was poking around in the settings and I couldn't find anything. Google Maps is now a pleasure to use, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Storm Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 If you have Windows 7 or Vista 64 Bit and want to flash the new update, see this thread: http://www.modaco.com/content/i910-specifi...-7-64-bit-cf03/ ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SmashOgre Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 As for me w/the CF03 ROM I'm getting pretty darn precise locations w/Google Maps, Pocket Streets and a Geocaching program called BeeLine. In Google for example in satellite view I can tell when I move from the North to the South end of my flippin house. Even my Mio DigiWalker isn't this precise. Time to lock on to satellites is slow, cause I'm inside I'm sure, but under a couple minutes...the initial location(aGPS??) is about 1000 feet off but I don't have more than 3 signal bars either. I'm impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dna550 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'll just add that Google Maps on the SCH-i910 with this ROM is an amazing application and it's great that it now always works with the Samsung keyboard. Would I like WM 6.5? Sure. But the SCH-i910 with touch screen calibration is now very responsive and very usable. Combined with Verizon Wireless' solid network and usually very fast network, I am a happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
