If it is not correct, give please the correct version.
Or it is necessary for something to make in adjustments{options} of the appendix? |
Did you have enabled the agps service on your E1000 ?! You will find the option in settings -> phone status -> agps service. Make sure you are outside buildings and have a widely free sky around. If you have your phone in a case take it out. |

But it uses another api than com.motorola.location. It uses the official JSR-179 java location api javax.microedition.location. This api is also included in mgmaps. To enable the gps menu a seem modification is needed. |
@chrysanthemumman: What this means is that you should download and install the main version of MGMaps available under the first link at http://wap.mgmaps.com - do not download the version for Motorola phones. Then start MGMaps, go to Settings/GPS and set the GPS Device to "Internal", and GPS Sync to the desired value - see the documentation at http://www.mgmaps.com/doc.php#usage for more details. |

Function AGPS is included, and the appendix gps does not work.
Tell what precisely the version of the appendix it is necessary to establish{install}, probably I was mistaken in the version for E-1000??? |

The newest version is V1.28.08 with support for Motorola internal GPS. Make sure to enable the internal Moto GPS in your phone and in the MGMaps settings. You have to install MGMaps with MotoMidletsManager so that MGMaps can access the GPS. The main build 1.28.09 does not include the Motorola location API. So with this version you can watch maps but can't use the internal GPS of the E1000. |

Hi, d'you mean add A1000 REL to the mode2 line in the configuration file that has been referenced in this forum before? Otherwise Im not sure how you would put an A1000 in mode 2? I will give it a go and post my findings here asap.

Hi all
I've got a motorola A1000 and would really to use the internal gps for this software, so naturally I've been messing with the information in this thread.
While I have gotten Moto MIDlets Manager to connect to the phone, that is about all it will do. When connected it doesn't show any installed aps, even though I do have opera mini installed too. And when I press the refresh button (to fetch the information), the phone does a sort of restart (most of the time it just restart without me having to enter my PIN.). It makes no difference if i'm using mode 4 or mode 2, its the same result.
The thing I would really like to know is whether anyone has actually used this program to activate the gps in an actual A1000. The A1000 (and the other Axxx phones) are not listed as compatible with MotoMidMan (according to what babelfish are telling me.) As far as I have been able to determine, the E1000 and A1000 are not running the same operating system (according to this page), and I am thinking that maybe that program is not supposed to work on symbian phones?
Please note that I am not an expert on these things and I might be totally wrong, so I would like som comments on this,
If people are interested I could post some further details of what I did, and what other things I have tried. |

| pengman just curious how you got your phone to connect. I've added "A1000 REL" to both mode 2 and mode 4 with the same result "Unsupported device" and the phone just resets. I believe I've installed the P2K drivers, when I plugged in the phone I just directed windows to the P2K driver folder,I am using a USB cable if this makes a difference. Yours or anyone elses help would be thankfull. |

After all reports it seems that MotoMidMan doesn't support the A-series of Motorola. Did anyone with Moto Axxx tried to connect with P2KCommander ? If this is possible we have to look for a file called J2MEST. It's also possible that the A-series uses an unknown method for midlet rights management. |

Here's What I did (by memory):
1. First I disconnected the cable (I was also using the USB cable)
2. Then I removed all motorola devices from device manager (Using http://www.tech-recipes.com/windows_tips811.html to show devices that was not connected)
3. Then I connected the phone
4. When windows asks for drivers I pointed in to the ones that came with
MotoMidMan.
5. Windows installed three devices (I cant remember the names, but I cant find them if it helps), all with the drivers from MotoMidMan.
6. I then edited the Mode4 line in MotoMidMan.ini to say
| Code: | Mode4 = R26LD R26 A1000 REL
|
7. I then connected the phone and started MotoMidiMan
And then it started up but didn't work as previously descriped. This description is from meomry and if it is wrong I could redo the process with pictures and all, but I really don't think that it would really help as long as it is not working...
Which leads to:

I have had a look around with P2KCommander, and these are some of my observations:
- It can only read a drive a, which is neither the usual RAM or the transflash (as far as i can determine and remember).
- If I try to make a directory or copy somethink to it, ir restarts the phone (probably related to the restart descriped in my first post)
- There is no file called J2MEST to be found, either on the a drive or any of the other drives (at least when browsed via the desktop suite)
I think that symbian (the operating system for the A1000) simply uses a different method of storing the priviliges... |

Sorry about the double posting, but I think this might deserve a new post.
I have found a project on sourceforge, that is supposed to allow access to to the a100 gps from java, via jni (Java Native Interface) ... unfortunately the seems to be no documentation beyond that...
When downloaded, the program seems to at least be able to access the gps (which is not really a suprise I guess), but the weather around here sucks, so at no luck getting a connection. Maybe a few of you guys should check it out and maybe we can get a little wiser... |

I'm not sure I understand what it's about. JNI is only available for J2SE programs, not for J2ME... is there a J2SE JVM available on A1000?
Anyway, if the C++ code is functional, maybe the author can adapt it to work like Navizon works - as a "proxy" between MGMaps and the gps device, forwarding all GPS statements to MGMaps using TCP/IP. I'll see if I can contact him.

Regarding the 3 devices that get added when you tell windows to use the P2K drivers under motomidman, the devices are as follows:
Accessories interface
Data logging mcu interface
Text command interface
Hope this helps in some way.
When I added A1000 REL to mode 2 however and connected the phone motomidman appeared to connect for a moment and then stopped responding to windows.

So i guess nobody offers the guide step by step to get it to work. Still it seems you have to be close to a hacker to get this to work. I have been trying to follow this tread with all hints and tips along with it.
Is there really no other way to get this to work? Or could someone please offer the guide to install this the correct way? |

|
|
| creating a patch for unlocking the things that GMaps need? A small installation file which unlocks just the things needed for GMaps for the A1000? The software is already there, a patch that unlocks is all that is needed. It would be much easier and worth paying for if someone could create this... |

| So I guess no one is interested. Motomidman can't connect to my phone and therefore I can't use this great software for my A1000. It's really sad, mgmaps must be the best GPS-nav out there. Could someone please assist? |

Hi,
any chance there will be an updated com.motorola.location API version of mgmaps anytime soon? Looks like the one currently available for download is showing first signs of bit rot -- using Google maps seemingly is broken (tracing the network traffic indicates it keeps getting 404 errors), whereas all other services still work (even the sat images part of Google Maps -- go figure!  ).
Regards,
Chris. |

You're right, Google has removed the maps that were used by that version. I have uploaded a new one, you can access it from the wap page.

Uhm, ok, so I'm not exactly the target group with my E1000. Tried it nonetheless, with less than enthusiastic results. It stopped loading tiles after the initial 4 or so. After that it continued to try and TCP connect to 127.0.0.1:6284 but that was it.
There's something in the back of my mind that this was an alternative way to connect to the internal GPS, IIRC. Mind you, GPS was set to 'none' though in mgmaps ... very bizarre.

Thanks a lot, now this one works like a charm again
