Exactly! I don't stream radio on my service, I use it for:

- GPS point uploading
- Instant messaging
- POP3 e-mail in the background

And for these purposes the dedicated cheap internet service works great.

It doesnt take 116 seconds to download this web page, because today most web browser / web servers compress their web traffic using gzip. http://perl.apache.org/docs/tutorial...nt_Compression

This page gzipped is 20 k large, which only takes 7 or 8 seconds to load on a web browser.

What do you have to do to enable widen on a i455 ?

I looked everywhere and every search comes back with nothing even on the WOG website. Is there any diy or download somewher?

Whoops.. good point. But, depending on your browser cache, you'll also need to load the images and objects (there are 59 on the page) - all zipped it ends up being 188K, unzipped, the package is about 470K.

I am wondering the same thing, only for an i450. I have the RSS software and I can connect to my phone and download the data. However, I can't figure out which values change it to WiDEN mode. I am pretty positive that it does not currently have WiDEN. I did this by going into Trace Mode.

Can anyone assist? Thanks!

Jason

(To get to Trace Mode, press the pound key, star key, Menu button, and finally the right arrow. Do not use a combination of them, just press each one. And, do not wait as this will make it "time out".) Then, you go down to "Err/Channel" and press the right arrow key to change it to Yes. Press the Back button, or "Hang up". Begin to do data transfer (browse around or look at your account balance/status). Look at the top left of the screen, and if you see ""WPCH" then you have WiDEN. If you see PCH, then you do not have WiDEN enabled.

Anybody know how to give the i450 an external antenna for better sat pickup?

Thanks.

if you've bought ur phone in the last 6 months and its an 450 or 455 it is already widen enabled.

I have the i415 and I usually get 8 sats with the phone under my dash.

John,

mologogo will keep running in the background in and out of service BUT if someone calls you, it will suspend the app and you have to restart. This is the number one issue with this system right now. I don't know that anyone has come up with a way to force mologogo running all the time or to reset the phone and restart if it hangs. MFC appears to be the only unbabysitted method, but at $350 it veers from the original intent of this thread. Regardless it is really cool and if I had the dough I might get one.
