GPS enabled emulator

Hi All,
We have a GPS enabled phone which uses Apache/Tomcat as the gateway server. We want to do Stress/Load testing on this gateway server for say 500,1000....users. This web server (Apache/Tomcat) is the phone gateway that allows coomunication from & to the phone. This server typically handles communication with the phone like GET POSITION, SEND MESSAGE, SHUT DOWN....
We are told to use the Motorola iDEN Emulator for i730 to emulate a phone. We have the GPS position information for the tests in a txt file.
(1) Has any one in the forum done this type of testing? If yes can you please send me ur e-mail ID so that I can discuss things out.
(2) Does the above mentioned emulator have the capability like we feed the GPS position of say different users & the emulator can transmit the data to the Gateway server or Will we have to write some piece of code to make this happen?
(3) Can anyone let me know of any load testing tool that can be used in this scenario?
(4) Which all parameters should we check on the Tomcat server?
Anyone willing to get in touch with me directly can send a direct e-mail to me at [email protected]
An urgent reply from all you techies will be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Afroz

Hi,
I was exploring J2ME and trying to develop GPS based application for mobile. I found Motorola A835 and A1000 supports GPS. Now i was thinking to make a simple application for GPS enabled mobiles e.g at any time when server sends request to mobile, it will connect the application residing on Handset and get back the coordinates.
Also wanna know do i need any API's from 3rd parties like Nokia, Motorolla or its all in J2ME Kit.
Looking for your real help and if you can send any code snipet then it will be great.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Track nokia gps enabled phone from pc

hey, im starting this post to get info for me and for others because i believe that this is such an important feature in our nokia phones that we must maximise.
my question is, are there any programs where users can track there gps enabled phones from their pc?? Im sure all you nokia lovers would love to feel safe knowing that if your expensive smartphones go missing or stolen, you can track it down very easily.
i have heard of a shareware app called "phone guardian" for phones where the phone can be tracked via gps, however this can be removed via a hard reset. there must be a FREE way to access gps info of our phones at anytime from our pc without our phones needing to connect to any networks whatsoever and just the free gps satellite.
if ANYONE on this forum who knws anything about this topic, plz comment below because im sure every nokia user would want to knw the answer to this question.
thanks
If iv helped in anyway, hit the kudos button

Mate no one got offended in any reply. i said his tone seemed negative because i was up for possibilities, not impossibilities. haha dont know how this line could ever started something like this
Anyways, since we are all grown ups here, when you want to act as a peer mediator, try to exclude statements such as "I don't think there was anything offensive in Psychomania's 1st reply" because statements like these dont solve anything, they just show that you're being biased and taking sides... and so if i were you, the only post i would remove from this thread is your own
plz anyone feel free to comment on this post, and i hope the comments arn't gonna be about sissy talk but actual answers to my question because isnt that the reason why there is a discussion board for nokia users?

GPS enabled mobile phones and their respective SDK's

hello people !!
plz tell me the list of GPS enabled mobile phones and their respective SDK's
and their is one more request which sdk is supported for motorola i730 mobile phone.

Motorola has its own api and i assume this phone would support that
go to motocoder and find out

X301 GPS Enabler

I previously had GPS working on my X301 without issues.
I am preparing to go on a trip and wanted to use the GPS. Now when I start real time tracking, I get the following error: "Cannot start the GPS hardware tracking. Please try after some time."
I have all current software and drivers via System Update. The GPS Enabler is version 2.2 and I use the embedded Verizon card for my internet connectivity on a daily basis.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On 4-2-2009, Lenovo released a new driver package for the Verizon Wireless WWAN card, which is where the GPS is located.
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69999
I uninstalled the old software and the hardware in device manager, rebooted, and reinstalled the above package, successfully upgrading the firmware and software. I also uninstalled the Thinkvantage GPS application and went back to the original package. That gave me the same error. I then upgraded to Thinkvantage GPS 2.2 and am still getting the error.
I am at a loss about what to do. I am certain this is a driver conflict/issue but am getting no where with Lenovo. I don't want to go to out of the box and start over, but I might.

Feature request: GPS enabled icon

Please correct me if this is not the appropriate place to start a wish list of features.
Given that the GPS consumes a great deal of battery, it would be nice to see an icon on the home screen to indicat that it is enabled, has a signal, etc.

okay so for the other part of your initial post, there is no indicator to tell you that you are using the GPS chip. But when does that happen ? Basically, I see two things that can use the GPS : Blackberry Maps (just don't forget to close it when you're done with it) and, if you're using BES, maybe your company wants to track you with GPS. In that case, go to the device options >> GPS and disable the tracking option if you have one.
For the rest... GPS does get a broadcast, but directly from the GPS satellites. There is no cellular antenna like in GSM/GPRS/CDMA.
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

How to disable cell activity but keep GPS enabled

We are cruising soon and I want to make sure I don't get any unexpected charges for traveling out of the US. However, I want to take pictures and will want the GPS function to work. Will the Airplane setting allow for this?

Turning off data roaming is a MUST unless you pay for their global roaming data for a hefty price...honestly...I'm not sure if the photo tagging via the phones GPS will still work if airplane mode is on...
If airplane mode is off and you have data roaming off then you should not have a big bill...just make sure to use WIFI only...
Keep in mind that although I did not agree with nor understand this explanation from AT&T when I traveled to Jamaica for my Honeymoon....When there and the phone was on...if the phone rang and i DID NOT answer it they still charged me for the incoming call...
I fought this and the charges were removed but they showed up...horrible!!
That said if data roaming is off and airplane mode off then your GPS may not tag your photos...you'll have to try it in the US first and play with the settings and then see if iPhoto shows the tag...

I Pod touch,is it gps enabled,the download said it was.Had it outside for 1 hour and did not track satallitess

Is I-Pod touch gps enabaled,installed is gps kit 5.6 from Garafa,LLC.They said it matched requirements.Would not track sattalites

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

Anyway to update Apple's location database without an gps enabled apple device?

So I have moved from Manila to Angeles City here in the Philippines. Still using the same router. I've search countless ways on how to update your hotspot's location. Whenever I get connected to my Android's hotspot. It updates it to where I live. Whenever I connect to my router it gets confused. It says im at Manila or I'm at my correct location. Location disappears after a few secs on my router. It's stable when I connect to my android device. Non of my friends have iPhone's. I do have one but it's dead. Wouldn't waste my money on fixing it just for the location. Is there like any app for an android device to tell Apple where is my router located?

Nothing's going to happen until such time as you connect an iPhone or WiFi+Cellular iPad to your router. An Android device isn't going to have any way to connect to and update Apple's database, and a WiFi-only iPad doesn't have location information to pass on to Apple.
Regards.

Network based and a-gps, data use tests

i was trying to find this kind of info, but only found others asking.
i hope this is useful info for others, especially while roaming.
skip to the bottom for conclusion,
this is the process i took:
i called nokia tech support,
their phone support his horrible,
the people on the phone don't actually know anything, and have to look up everything you ask them.
they were the worst.
i emailed nokia tech support.
my message was:
"i would like to know the difference between assisted gps positioning, and network based positioning. these are 2 of the 4 options on my nokia e66 for positioning methods. i would like to know if network based positioning uses internet data from my service provider to obtain my gps position. i am especially concerned with this function while i'm roaming internationally, as i do not want to be charged for roaming data use."
in about half hour they responded w/ an answer, and then 45 min after that someone else responded w/ an answer.
the first response, minus the hello's etc. was:
"In response to your email, Assisted GPS and Network Based positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic so you will be charged for data use. Only "normal" GPS and Bluetooth GPS do not generate additional costs related to data traffic.
Normal GPS is quite slow and does not work indoors. Therefore, it is recommended to enable at least A-GPS to get a faster position outdoors.
Network based and Wi-Fi positioning also allow you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation."
the 2nd response was:
"In response to your inquiry, the difference between Assisted GPS positioning (A-GPS) and Network based positioning is that, A-GPS uses satellites while Network based positioning is based on information of your cellular network environment. It allows you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation. Both positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic (unless you have configured the device to use Wi-Fi connection to make the internet connection). The cost may vary while you are on roaming. Kindly contact the service provider for information about data transmission costs."
i can also respond w/ more questions, but instead did some tests, starting with sitting home, indoors, and eventualy moving to a window w/ lots of sky.
test 1:
i enabled:
integrated gps
network based
assisted gps
opened maps,
set maps to be offline,
set default internet access point to my home wlan network,
closed maps,
cleared all counters and the log on the phone's communication log.
opened maps
there is a pink circle around the area i may be in,
the icon that would show gps satellite strength, changes to show the cell phone antenna icon.
but the packet data counter is sending/receiving a total of around 3-8kb immediately, and over the course of time, it keeps adding up, every 1-2 minutes, and it is shown as packet data to/from the access point "at&t internet"
over the course of ten minutes, it's been about 43kb.
and i can tell on the phone's home screen that the packet data connection becomes active when it does.
the maps kb indicator still says 0.0kb, with a line through the double arrow packet data symbol.
test 2:
now i exited maps,
cleared the counters and logs
i turned off a-gps.
enabled only integrated gps and network based.
i open maps,
the same thing is happening as with the assisted gps on, except i connected to my home wlan once, in the middle of connecting to at&t internet 10 or so times.
everything else is happening the same.
test 3:
i exited maps,
cleared the counters and logs.
enabled only integrated gps.
i open maps, and there is no evidence of packet data connection, or wlan connection.
nothing is showing up in the logs or packet counters, and there is no pink circle around where i may be.
if i set maps to go online, w/ my wlan as the access point, or at&t internet, their respective icons show up on maps, as well as the phone's home screen.
the phone's log show respective connections are made but w/ 0.0kb, and the phone's packet counter, as well as the maps kb usage, say 0.0kb.
test 4:
set maps to offline, w/ my wlan as access point.
exited maps,
turned phone off for a bit to test gps from cold start.
turned on phone,
cleared counters/logs,
enabled only assisted gps and integrated gps.
open maps, there's no pink circle around where i may be, just the red dot of where it thought i last was.
there's about 4-5kb of data transfer,
then i bring the phone to the window where there's a lot of clear sky, and my location is found pretty fast.
i know that w/o assisted gps, w/ only integrated gps, it takes a while to get the gps signals.
i went back and forth to/from the window, and there was packet data use again only once more, not continuously like w/ network based positioning.
so to conclude my tests,
setting the maps to be offline, still uses a-gps and network based positioning.
network based uses a more data, continuously,
which is the opposite of what i thought, i thought a-gps would use more, so i was using network based on and a-gps off while in canada. whoops.
using assisted gps uses about 5-10kb, which, when roaming, according to at&t, they charge 1.95cents/kb.
might be worthwhile for getting a quick gps signal, nothing worse than waiting forever for it to connect.
the only way to be completely clear of data use is disable network based and assisted gps, or set the phone to offline mode.

A-GPS: This uses information from cell network to get a rough idea of where you are. It then uses this information to figure out which satellites to look for. Result is a faster satellite lock. So A-GPS uses a few kB of data to get an initial position, but navigation is done using GPS satellites, which does not require ANY data connection.
Network based: This uses information from the cell network to plot the current position when GPS satellite signal is not available, ie indoors, in a tunnel, etc. Position info derived from the cell network is not as accurate as that from GPS satellites, but serves as a stopgap until GPS signal can be re-acquired. Network based positioning used your data connection EACH TIME the satellite lock is lost. So the amount of data used is dependent on the quality of access you have to the GPS satellites. If you don't lose the connection to the GPS satellites, then you won't use any data.
The ‘offline’ option within the Nokia Maps app only refers to street, POI, etc searches, NOT to A-GPS, Network based positioning or to connecting with the GPS satellites.
If you want to navigate without using ANY data connection, set A-GPS off AND set Network based positioning off AND set the Internet option in Nokia Maps to Offline. Do this and you will not use any of your data connection allowance when navigating. There is no need to put the phone into flight mode.

A-GPS not working ??

Hi, as a 5800 newbie I seem to have got myself into a bit of a pickle :-(
When I enable maps (or the camera wirh GPS enabled) it can take a bit of time for it to get a fix initially.
I had previously disabled "Assisted GPS" in the interests of cost - but now feel that it could be an advantage to have it on occasionally.
However, with it on it doesnt seem to make any difference and I am not seeing any data activity in the log (and "maps" shows no data in the tiny icon at the bottom left of the screen.
I am saying "yes" to "go online?".
I vauguely remember deleting some profiles at some point to do with data :-( Could it be this??
If so .. is there a way to restore them??
Any help appreciated.
TIA

I am too a newbee and have found out almost similar problem. After, I bought the phone and after inserting SIM card, I started browing through applications. When I was at Maps, the system asked me if I wish to go online then ? When I clicked "yes", it connected me to the Map position on the serverby downloading some data (through GPRS). Since I realised that I have very little money left in my prepaid account (Idea is really bad in this !), I disconned map application. I inserted a new SIM card later and also used to connect to GPS through WLAN (which otherwise works perfect), but I failed to get my online position after umteeth attempts. I guess I should reset the GPS to original condition by some means ?
Is there a way ?

If I buy a used iPhone 4 without a data plan will the GPS work?

I live in Canada and am a complete newbie when it comes to cell phones and data plans. I am not interested in having or paying for cellular telephone capability.
I've been using the 64 Gb iPod Touch 4 but detest its 0.7 Mb still camera and bemoan its lack of GPS.
Now that the iPhone 4S has been released, there are many folks selling their older iPhone 4s. I'd love to use one of these older iPhone units with their better camera and GPS capability, but don't want to pay for a data plan, nor am I willing to pay $850 for an unlocked iPhone 4S. I'm happy to continue using wireless internet and don't need a cell phone.
Being a newbie when it comes to data plans and cell phones, if I purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone:
1. Does it need a SIM card (activated or not) to use the GPS on it? If yes, must a deactivated SIM card be provided by the seller or where can I obtain one?
2. Does the iPhone 4 need to be on a cellular plan to use the GPS?
3. I can use a deactivated iPhone 4 on WiFi only as I've been doing with the iPod Touch 4, correct?
4. If I can use a deactivated, non-contract iPhone 4 on WiFi only, will the GPS work and allow me to use GPS-enabled apps? If yes, does it somehow still "tie"into available local cell networks to achieve a position without me paying for (or being registered for) cellular access?
5. Can future iOS upgrades (say to iOS5) still be performed on a deactivated iPhone 4 without a cell plan?
6. Do I need to purchase the iPhone 4 from a Canadian seller given my above questions? What other questions do I need to ask of the seller when looking for a used iPhone 4?
Thanks in advance for any help with my newbie questions!

Thanks for that, Paulfromwallasey. I live in a rural area without many cell towers and with WiFi only in my home. I do use offline maps (topographical and street maps) on my iPod Touch 4 outdoors (not needing a signal, WiFi or cellular). I also have a hand-held Garmin GPS receiver but would rather use the GPS in the iPhone (its positional accuracy, while likely being lower than that obtained from my Garmin, is likely sufficient for my needs).
I guess that one of the questions that I was asking is if I were to purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone, and the SIM card have been removed, would the device's GPS still work with GPS-enabled apps (albiet without the cellular-assist)?
Can any pay-as-you-go SIM card be purchased for and used in a deactivated iPhone4? Would this even be necessary for the GPS?
Thanks again.

GPS Not working for E72

My GPS is not working for E72. I can get my position but I think that is because of A-GPS enabled.
I talked to customer care and they are saying "you must be in open space, no tall buildings etc" which is not practical.
I tried for hours, it always says "waiting for GPS" but never gets any thing.
It used to work earlier but then there was p problem [ no breathing light ] and I had to take it to serivce center, after that it never worked.
My E72 software version date is 031.023
custom version 031.023.c00.01
ovi maps v3.04
Please help!
Amit

Hi purohit
Of no consolation to you but this is a known issue to the maps team:/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/quot-Waiting-for-GPS-quot-problem-in-my-Nokia-E72/m-p/736353/highlight/t...
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

This feature should be in iPhoto How to get GPS data

This feature should be in iPhoto
Drag photo to Preview icon
Open an iPhone picture with Preview
Bring up the Inspector by hitting Command+i or by navigating to Tools -> Show Inspector
Click on the Info button (icon with an i on it)
Click on the GPS tab

Suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
Since I use a GPS enabled camera I do not use that or the iPhoto assign location - but your priview method sounds very much like the iPhoto method to me

Air Navigation Pro Using Integrated iPhone GPS without a sim card

I use Air Navigation Pro with my iphone on a passenger seat of the plane. Integrated GPS function works just fine without a SIM card installed, but only to a certain speed ~300 km/h or height then it can’t find any satellite at all. Can be this problem be solved with the integrated GPS?
