> K850i as speedometer?
Bookmark topic
is there any flash file or some java application for K850i which can be used as a speedometer (to measure speed of the moving vechile) by using its built-in accelerometer data???

No i mean utilization of accelerometer as a speedometer.
i've a flash file that displays the amount of acceleration but i'm looking for some kind of application or flash that could display speed (like in a car-speedometer.)

He means a speedometer. The accelorometer can not be used to measure speed. For that you GPS.

I know that accelerometer is used for measuring acceleration and not the speed. But if u know the acceleration, u can get velocity & then the speed by taking time-derivative of the acceleration. But u'll have to calculate the time-interval manually. So i'm asking about something that could do it automatically i.e.taking accelerometer data & the time interval and then displaying the velocity or speed.

Yes, you are able to measure the speed with a accelerometer. But i havent gfound any java app doing that.

Then how does the w580i with the Tracker (v1.6.20) app able to do this without GPS ?? Hmm. Unfortunately the Tracker app currently available for download from the SE Fun Site is the new one requiring GPS to work correctly. I know because I've tried it on my K850i.

There is no possible way to work out speed from your acceleraometer, location services are providied using triangulation.
An acceleromter is a metal ball in sphere, that has a metal plate on each quatile, when the metal hits on of the quatiles it conducts electricty thus the phone knows it orientation.
