Some hopefully helpful GPS tweaks.

[Guest Yunabeco]

I was still playing around with my Omnia (i900) when I discovered the neat code *#1472365#, which launches a GPS control program (Nogarder GPS...a quick investigation shows the same program in \Windows), allowing to tweak some other GPS settings; notably:

Settings/GPS:

Mode of operation:

-Standalone (was default on mine)

-MS-Based

-MS-Assisted

Starting mode:

-Cold Start

-Hot Start (was default on mine)

Session:

-Single Fix

-Navigation (was default on mine)

Settings/QOS:

-Horizontal accuracy in (mine: 19)

-Vertical accuracy in (mine: 0)

-Response time in (mine: 2)

-QOP delay (mine: 12)

-Max location (mine:0)

NMEA logging:

-Log: Size of the log file, 0 means no logging

-Log file path: Same as the GPS log key

-Old log file path: Same as the old GPS log key

That's... probably no news for registry tweakers, but see if it can help. I see Verizon has an article about some terms mentioned; I guess some options change depending on the actual GPS status and whether it uses XTRA or not. From what I could gather, it seems the MS options are used in network GPS locks and aGPS (Network-helped fixes).

Though Standalone works fine here, and stays still even with XTRA enabled.

really interesting, I don't think anyone already played with those values in registry.

If it's not the case please prove me wrong :)

Not sure if we can improve anything neither, but eh it's still good to know, thanks.

i wonder what qop delay is

hopefully some of this settings will help us use the omnia for gps tracking whila walking

I'm trying to get my samsung B7610 to work with these settings but unfortunately without succes. Is it because there are differences between the i900 and the B7610?

Hope somewhone is able to help me.

How can I open this application without dialling a code? I tried to open it in Windows folder, but nothing happened...

I had a CorbyPro, lately I bought OmniaPro B7610. I was working for 3 days and now I got this code from here. It works on my OmniaPro too. Its inbuilt, no installation needed.

It just took 3 minutes to lock and there I am with 6-11 satellites .

Thanks.....
