Hello,
Did anybody try and succeeded to operate the Pharos iGPS-SD, tyats the SDIO GPS, on the XDA II, regardless of rom version?
DID anybody try and failed?
Please people, let me have input on this, as I did buy the unit but was not able to make it work on my XDA II.
Any constructive help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Works for me on my i-mate with the 1.52 ROM.

Jon,
Thanks!! now I have a lead, but, I still need your help.
Can you be more specific:
1. which drivres did you use? the ons supllied with the unit?
2. Do you use a bundle that came with the SDIO unit for maps?
3. Can you be more specific about Rom details? is it identical to any XDA II rom we know about?
Thanks again
Yuval
Jon,
Can you also please tell me which com port (serial port) is used by the SDIO unit?
None of the GPS programs I used was not able to identify it in any com.
Thanks
Yuval
I bought the package that came with the Golf software, as I already owned Ostia from another pharos product. I used the enclosed iGPS-SD driver disk, and then used Pharos Ostia from the previous product. It mapped itself to COM4, which became an issue with the I-Mate ROM 1.6x series, as it wanted to use COM4 for bluetooth, so I kept it at 1.52.
After installing the drivers, you should be able to select COM4 manually from Ostia. I found autodetection to not work properly.
Jon.
Jon,
This is great help... Now I feel I am going somewhere...
Can I use the 1.52 rom on my XDAII? and if I can, where can I get it?
Thanks again
Yuval
ps - this means the driver assigns the SDIO to be com 4 ? and it must be free... ?

Help, I'm in the middle of trying to bond the navman 4410 to my XDA II now it's asking for a 'PIN' not sure what it means as I can't find anything from the navman instructions refering to 'PIN' can anybody help........... :?
Best Regards
Maybe try 0000
'pin' number can only be 1 to 16, tried all these, still no bond.
I'm totally confused :? , bloody bluetooth
I think the pin is "NAVMAN", you will need to download a patch that allows you to use characters as well as numbers. If you search on this site for navman I am sure you will find what you are lookin for.
Help!!!!!!
I've got the patches, download the 'enablecharpin' exe file to the XDA followed the instructions from the navman web site, when I click the exe file I get the following error 'enablecharpin is not a valid pocket pc application'
what am I doing wrong????????????

Greetings Ben...
So if this information is correct we need a VPA Compact rom. Anyone?
Ok, well if that .pdf file is correct, harrah! However, Expansys have listed the VPA Compact as a discontinued item. I can't find a single store that sells it, so maybe it's over before it began!!
After a quick search there is no ROM is availabe over the internet. The hope is the dumping. But my knowledge is this phone is sold only in Germany. Not sure!!!!

Thanx to Google:
http://download.vodafone.de/spopup16.html
It is a German ROM 1.12, coming from Vodadafone.
Greetings Ben...
OK, well does anyone have the ability to extract the stack and find out whether it's widcomm or MS? I certainly don't!
I've done a google translate of this page and it doesn't mention anywhere about which phone it's for. I'm guessing you selected this on the previous page?
And what's with the constant reference to blackberry? Has vodafone acquired blackberry software now?
Makes me want to just install the rom and find out, but I can't read much german!

You're better off posting that one in the bluesoile thread, dude. You'll get more help there.
Berkens.. Ok cool, so it is the rom.. (just worked out you need to click on the link that says "heir" to see the ROM), but how do we find out which bits we need? Can Buzz or anyone with ROM experience tell me whether there's any substance to this?
Hi,
I updated my T-Mobile MDAc with this and it's similar to the T-Mobile update, no new BT-Stack, just Vodafone branding
Bugger! Oh well, got our hopes up for a bit!

How would one be able to tell if it is the MS stack or Widcomm one?
I've not seen the Widcomm stack running on a PPC yet- so wouldn't know.
I'm sure like most here, the interest is whether you can get the A2DP profile setup on the MDAc.
I'm sure this is 'easily' possible- just need some with the know how i guess...
EDIT: Just noticed the BT Stack for the VPAc is exactly the same as for MDAIII- so is this a mistake regarding the VPAc stack running Widcomm. Or is the difficulty in uninstalling the MS BT?
Hi,
I'd like to get Splashblog, which I think is the only photoblogger for the smartphone platform working on my Qtek 8300 (Tornado).
The software is designed for WM5 but when I try to connect to the network I get a connection error immediately.
I can only guess that it either results of a localization problem or the AKU2 firmware uses a different way to setup connectivity (don't know if the software has been tested on WM5 AKU2).
So I'd like to ask anyone having a Tornado and the AKU2 firmware, maybe also a non-WWE (i.e. localized firmware) to share his experience with me or maybe trying out now this software and check if he can get connectivity.
I'd really like to use my Smartphone for mobile photoblogging, but it doesn't work out for me currently and no idea why.
Also in case more of you find it doesn't we could approach the manufacturer and ask for a fix (did already, they said it should work).
Btw: of course I have network connection (GPRS and EDGE) and using it with the IE works flawlessly.
Could anyone give me feedback on his findings with a Tornado please ???
Thanks so much!
Regards

P.S.
The same company also offers TypePad, which is not free, but I get same error message for the trial version :-(
i cannot use my cf card with backpack in wm2005, pls help me.......
Backpack
Me either, any ideas?
See my thread on backpack in buzzdev.net in Himalaya WM2005 for details.
There's some people are able to use backpack in WM2005, I'm not part of it. Maybe you could install Tof's newest ROM. After installing it, I'm able to see my backpack battery, and in this only ROM that I can see it, but still no luck in functioning the others. VGA presentation and CF not working. Few people had managed to use VGA presentation, as for CF I believe no solution to this matter. Guess you should write an email to HTC to ask them to help recreate backpack driver for WM2005.

Is possible some people... give me some informatiom.
Many thanks
any news about this?
Hello,
I have been a week of the VDA GPS Vodafone, same device as Toshiba Portege G710
It is the standard Windows Mobile 6 installed, no touchscreen. (Smartphone)
It has a right trackball, there are also pictures:
http://picasaweb.google.de/greddy7/VodafoneVDAGPSAuchBekanntAlsToshibaPortegeG710
It has the same size as the HTC S620, has 260MHz, no WLAN, but GPS in it.
My questions now, because I have absolutely nothing could find on this device:
Which company is building the device? HTC builds not.
Which GPS chip was consumed?
Where a still another Rom for this device, or any support pages?
Thank you
Cheers
I'm also keeping an eye on the G710, especially because of the integrated GPS and the small keyboard. However, one thing makes me wonder:
Can I use any navigation application with the Portégé G710?
Although the Portégé G710 is GPS enabled, it is not possible to use any standard navigation software on the G710. Details on which navigation packages are compatible with the Portégé G710 will be available soon.

(Taken from the Toshiba site)
It would be nice to know whether TomTom or a similar offline navigation software would work. I cannot imagine that "it is not possible"
now my device is at ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200211975316
This device is cheap, price and quality. I am now back to my htc s620!
Tomtom5: Screen black, the device is not stopped, but the screen is black. The same
with the core player: Screen black ...
Tomtom6: Screen not black, nice, but Tomtom detect no GPS Hardware
Route 66: works (but i can not live with this slow gps software !)
This device has many bugs ...
cheers
Could you check out any other navigation software such as Navigon?
By the way: I don't think somebody will pay 300€ on eBay, if you can get it for 230€ at Vodafone directly.
My Toshiba G710 was provided with Copilot Live 7. This software is very good.
I'm very happy with this phone, the Gps receiver is so fast even without a-gps !
Unfortunately, he have not WM6.1 and Toshiba says "it is not foreseen"
