GPS Radio Problem

HP HW6910Follow up to the GPS Radio problem.

Traveling yesturday and I’m starting to sort of understand the daft HW6900 series GPS Radio Power issue. Ok I’m in the car with my HW6910 connected via Bluetooth to the car radio and the build in GPS working away on TomTom Navigator 5.

I recieve a call and the GPS is still working. The second the call is finished the GPS powers off ! But here’s the werid bit, a new call comes in and a few seconds later the GPS powers back up again. Drop the call and guess what it’s off again. Only way I’ve found to get it back again is to exit TTN5 and re-load it.

Now a software powered GPS power switch is all well and good if the software works correctly. But obviously it doesn’t :( . Time to email HP and ask for tech support so they can include a fix in a future FW update.
Or does anyone have a software switch that can power the GPS radio on ? I’ve not found one yet.

    Arses. Wrong post.

    From here:

    It looks like HP aren’t releasing the SDK’s to the public; so unless someone hacks around, or you install linux (hoho) on it you’ve got a chance in norfolk. As in no fucking chance.
