So I have my TC on order, cant wait! I have been reading every bit of information on the web about the TC and I am receiving conflicting reports. Some say the phone is HSUPA compatible and some say its not, and some say it has the ability but HTC will have to "unlock" it. Does anyone know if this phone, as it ships, will be able to support HSUPA in the future?
Thanks in advance,
~Scott
In the internet i've read that the Qualcomm MSM7200 supports HSUPA... I think that a driver or anything else could solve the problem...
Like the driver for SD 2.0 problems of other devices..
It will be interesting to see if HTC releases an update to enable HSUPA in light of the recent ruling against Qualcomm. I really hope they do. I can see myself keeping the TC for a while and it would suck if another HSUPA device lures me away. hehe..
msm7200 chipset support hsupa/hsdpa up to 7.2 mbit/s .
hope that a future radio firmware update will activate full functionality of the chipset...
I've read that HSDPA Standard is up to 15 MBit/s yet. But i don't really know it. It stands in an IT-Book

HTC S730 ('Wings'): Has anyone spotted it already?
It's now available on Tmobiles website:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Detail.aspx?device=acc8102d-4506-4eaa-bc2f-9c7b8ec1b1e0
I may walk over to the local tmobile store later and see if they have one. You thinking about switching from your Vox?

Yeah, I'd like 3G (even though it drains the battery much faster).
And then supposably there is the 2nd video cam and a GPS receiver.
The cpu is apparently a Samsung running on 400MHz.
Combined with the same form factor as the S710 it sounds unbeatable to me.
Ah, that's the "Wing" in T-mobile's shop and is a different model.
The S730's nickname is "Wings"
Here's a preliminary spec:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/devices/HTC/HTC-S730--Wings-322.shtml
The release date is July '07

Where are you located, I don't think the US version has all those capabilities....
That's not the HTC wings
this is : http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=728
T-mobile Wing looks like a TyTN to me
This S730 3G Windows Mobile Smartphone is vaporware right now
Everyone keeps saying it is coming out, but frankly, besides a photoshop'd mockup of this, there have been NO, repeat NO pictures of this in any form. No one has reported seeing one, no fuzzy pictures, etc. Until we get some information about this phone, some pictures, a release of info that is credible, I think that it's no where near release, and more like a Christmas time release at earliest. Seriously, why release the Vox, and then something that will blow it out of the water less than 6 months after the Vox release? It will cannibalize it's own market segment. I hope I am wrong, but with no pictures, or info on it, I don't see it as anything more than a future release, and nothing sooner.
Yes, it seems hard to imagine that they will release it so soon after the S710. However, there are different markets for both models. Don't forget that many users have no need for 3G, besides that the battery drains much faster. In that spec on pdadb.net it mentions only 12 hours! If that's true then many users are better off with the S710.
The Qalcomm MSM7200 chipset exists already since more than a year and does offer all those cool features. Usually mobile manufacturers need about a year to build phones around a new chipset. So from that point of view the timing could be right.
Here is more info about the chipset:

Anyhow, I would love to test a S730

Looks like the S730 does have a GPS chipset but that it is disabled.

D'you think the pic showing "active GPS" is for real or just a mockup?
GPS is a deal/no deal feature for me (in addition to the feeble battery... but as for the Vox there may be more powerful replacement batteries available).
Like for the Hermes there will most likely be a Wings100, Wings200... at least with different casing. Would a provider (like T-Mo Germany) be able to order units which are GPS hardware-deficient (lacking antenna, for instance)? For example, T-Mo Germany disabled (mechanically blocked!) the front videocall button of its "MDA vario II" Hermes variant.
How would one be able to tell if a specific S730 unit indeed has all necessary GPS hardware onboard?

The chipset seems ok, see here. Don't know if other gps system components are built in.

Thanks for the link. Looks ok, indeed. Please keep me posted if you find a way to activate the GPS feature. Will a registry hack do?
Does anybody recall how difficult it was to enable GPS for the Trinity?

I claimed I can do, but I need the device in my hands first
Can the WM6 core be extracted from others devices and ported to the Universal?
The reason I am asking is because an official WM6 ROM for the Universal does not exist. And the current WM6 Dev Release (Ivan's 6a) is still incomplete, i.e. - no video call.
What I have been made aware of is the official WM6 releases for the following devices:
<quote>
The following Provisional dates have been given.
Athena (X7500/Advantage) - From August
Excalibur (S620) - From August
Hermes (TyTN) - Currently available
Herald (P4350) - From August
</quote>
Probably the quicker thing to do is to extract the video-call binary from the Athena or Hermes.
And what do you think we are doing now?
I like the Touch software in my universal and therefore I have also try to cook my own ROM.
After seen my Universal and the HTC Touch of my wife sparking, I decided to upgrade my microwave before trying again.
God Bless You guys! I love this forum :0)

Don't know .... hence the question. It has been quite a while since Ivan's 6a was made available. I just though it was a bit premature to class 6a as a final WM6 release since it still did not have a core 3G feature. The Universal does not have 3G data protocols and the lack of video calling technically means that the Universal fails to qualify as a 3G phone.
You are better off using GSM for voice calls as opposed to using UTMS since you save power.
3G data speeds are there so it does qualify, and the video call drivers are device specific.

Awe mann .... I am in no mood to debate EDGE as a 3G technology as opposed to 2.75G.
And since the video call drivers are device specific, well ...... I guess putting some effort into Minisip or WengoPhone (VoIP clients supporting videocalls) might actually be worthwhile.
I have the HTC S720 (LIBRA, 5800, etc..)
Reading the specs, this phone is extremely close to the VOX, leaving me with a few questions
1) Would the kitchen for the VOX be compatible with the LIBRA? Is there anyway I can test?
2) My LIBRA rom doesn't have WIFI support. Since the phones seem to be similar (spec wise) - is there anyway I can attempt to add this support to test functionality?
3) Also, the processor is a Qualcomm MSM7500 - That means that this phone should have GPS (although not enabled in the rom..) Is that correct?
Any information would be very appreciated - I would like to get into the hobby of cooking and messing around with my rom, but not if it means I have a phone that functions as a paperweight.
Regards..
isnt libra a cdma device?
Hello guys,
Unfortunatly 80% of internet tells HTC LEO (HTC HD2) will come out with android.
And 20% of internet tells it will come out with WMobile.
Unfortunately I think Wmobile is the truth. Bcuz preorders are showing an Wmobile interface on the pictures.
My question is, can we put android 1.5 or higher on these devices?
Peace
Fortunatly, it'll be WM
Hi, I don't know where you heard that HD2 will come out with Android but from the first beginning, it has always been clear that HD2 will be running WM.
Don't wanna troll, but I would say .... FORTUNATLY !!! Just to show people what a windows mobile 6.5 device with capacitive display and snapdragon processor can do !!
Thomas
The confusion may stem from....
the fact that the Snapdragon "platform" is going to be used for many devices, there are a few nice previews of 1ghz processor equipped Android phones out there.
http://www.mobilechoiceuk.com/News/Acer+announces+first+Android+Snapdragon+phone/4133
If you ask me its all good, the more they sell, the lower the unit cost, maybe we will see cheaper WM / Android on Snapdragon in the not too distant.
Also, the 1.5Ghz Snapdragon appears to be in the pipeline too.... cant wait.
MS
Where
I really wasn`t joking guys, maybe I get other links than you in Netherlands.
But most sites still claim its android build.
Anyways, I aint got nothing against WMobile.
I just want to know if there are already people trying to port it.
Thanks in advance.
Peace

Htc hd2 - gps
Hi,
Does anyone know what kind of GPS the HTC HD2 has (gps-enabled processor with internal antena or gps-enabled processor with a-gps support) and if it is capable of running software applications like iGo, Navigon or TomTom?
Yes, it is pretty confusing, but correct me if I'm wrong:
1. When reading specs of a cell phone and says it has/supports "A-GPS", I assume that that phone has a gps-capable processor but locking onto satellites it is being done through the Internet connection (it probably connects to a site that will tell the phone the position of the satellites) and it does not have a dedicated "com" port and "baud" rate. The navigation applications are simple and cheap (mostly based on Google maps). A good example would be the iPhone that has A-GPS only. A dedicated navigation software such as iGo or Navigon (even Tomtom) would search for a "com" port and "baud" rate so it won't work with A-GPS-enabled phones.
2. When the specs. of a phone says Internal GPS or Dedicated GPS, I assume that that phone not only has a gps-enabled processor (like above) but also has an internal antena that will help the device to lock onto satellites without Internet support (a-gps). A dedicated navigation software (iGo, Navigon, Tomtom) will work on this device because it has a "com" port and "baude" rate required for those applications to run. So, if you are in the desert, you don't have cell phone signal but enough battery, the gps will guide you out of there. Shortly put, with GPS enabled phones (not A-GPS or Q-GPS, etc) you don't rely on Internet or network signal (signal triangulation) and you can run professional navigation softwares.
So, what kind of GPS the HTC HD2 has?
I have read that this replaces the Thoth 100 but PDADB.NET still shows the THOTH coming out this quarter. Is the THOTH still alive as a separate device?
The HD2 should have a real GPS chip. as in Internal Antenna. Will take a heck of a time to lock to the satellites, tough, 10 minutes at first run. That's why A-GPS is useful (Quick GPS).
Well Said. WM forever!

Well said Thomas! Also to all others, the best thing about any windows mobile is that you can always see and check what is happening in the background or what the CAB's contents are (meaning super customisable), Android, i-phone and many others are data collecting freaks who wanna know what populations are thinking and doing. In my opinion, windows mobile Os is number 1 and always will be (check whats on ya pc.lol) second is Symbian Os! I'm sure all other mobile Os's appart from windows mobile has developed themselves using Symbian ideas!!
Trying to find out if AWS (1700/2100) frequencies are disabled or non-existant in the XMM 6260 chipset found in my 925G.
I have been posting this question left and right with no success, but I think it does diserve a thread.
Is it possible that the various 920s and 925s O3D out there are using the same base reference design, using the same RF and RADIO ICs except frequencies are being selectively enabled/disabled at the chip level?
In today's IC production world, its cheaper to disable hardware than to build different itterations that requires going through certifications and whatnot... so I'm wondering if this theory couldn't apply on this phone?
I got mine for 300$ and I am seriously pissed having to buy a AWS-enabled version for 500+$, even more if I find out the hardware supports it and a "simple" radio flash could enable this....
Lots of Programmers here but unfortunately nobody seems to be able to answer that...
