It seems when I press "jump" and warp to a remote gate while cloaked I land inside the jump radius (2500m), but each time the text "Approaching Dodixie" pops up for about a second before jumping. This doesn't happen when you warp uncloaked - you just jump as soon as your warp ends.
The solution is to decloak a few seconds before you land on the gate, which seems to solve the problem. The only hazard with that is alerting smartbombers to start them up and giving the guys on the gate an extra couple seconds to spot you on d-scan and decide to jump through with you.
That's the exact same thing I noticed when I'm flying a covop's around. I think you're spot on about the solution. As for smart-bombers, best thing to do(as already mentioned in the thread) is to bounce(warping to gate from an unexpected angle).

this time i just landed at the entrance to the gate at 0km than just stayed there till i died, there was like 0.5 secs between my ship exploding and my pod exploding didnt get chance to spam s on another celestial.
Several people I know(me included) noticed that when you're using the selected item window buttons sometimes you hit jump - enter warp, arrive at the gate and the ship just stops and it doesn't do anything. It doesn't seem to happen at all when using the "right click in space menu". The same thing happens with the dock button on the selected item window. "We"call it a bug but to be honest "we" have no idea what's causing it. All I can say is that is for sure annoying as hell.

i was looking into exploring in WH space but apparently there are sleepers on those sites so you need a combat ship is that correct??
As already mentioned this is not correct. Recently(in Eve terms anyway), null-sec type data/relic sites were added to the C1-C3 wormoles. My suggestion is to use wormholes for more than just exploration(as in doing the sites). They can be very handy shortcuts helping you in your travels(i.e. you don't have to worry about gate-camps if you enter/exit null-sec or low-sec via wormholes).
By the way, if you like doing exploration you could take a look at this guide(written for new players, at least in my opinion, by a relatively new player ) - EVE Online Exploration Guide: Billions and Billions (of ISK)
Have fun.
