[Egypt]: HTC Cruise No GPS - Touch Cruise General

Dear All:
I am going to buy a New HTC cruise from egypt market and they said that; there is no GPS option in Most of sets SOld in ME according to county policy;;
does anybody knows if it's H/w Removed or Software Disabled for GPS...
I am getting a good deal which i wouldn't get for Dubai as I will trade in My old HTC exic s620.
please let me know urgent

Who said? Maybe they are just refering to the inclusion of proper navigation software, such as TomTom?

its just a software protection, just flash any cooked rom and it will fix the problem.

Dear Mahmoud
this is a software included with the HTC cruise rom shipping in Egypt to disable the GPS and not H/w, GPS is built in the processor and no way to remove it
if you flash the Cruise with the original WM 6.0 English rom the GPS will working
or you can flash an cooked rom like UDK Dimond R7 rom WM 6.1 with mobidiv Polaris Arabizer V2_0 Build 4.7 to read and write Arabic

MDA compact's rock solid ExtROM or????

Hi all,
I have a MDA compact that was flashed from German to English without a problem. I have noticed that on the xda's ftp site the ExtROM 1.01.124 WWE version for T-mobile has not been updated to a newer version. The O2 mini has an 1.03.166 ver, I-Mate UK has an 1.03.163 ver and the Qtek S100 has an 1.06.115 ver offered. :?: My question, is it that T-mobiles version so "rock solid" (stabile) that no updated are needed at this time while the other HTC magicians have mulitple udates??? I just don't understand :?
correct
The T-mobile rom is one of the most stable and well engineered rom for htc. practically no bugs, no soft resets needec. I will never update this puppy.

Thanks for the reply, but, as a rule of thumb "never say never". I must say that I'm very satified whte the T-mobile rom but as far as I'm informed when I go to the T-mobile.de web and perhaps the Dutch web page there seems to be no support what so ever. This is what makes me very :evil: :evil: :evil: Hell, I-mate has their support site and so does O2, but not T-mobile.
Yes but
To be sure, I had an Imate for three weeks and returned it to Amazon. (Sound isssues + camera) Yes, they offered support, but this was because their product is crap, so they constantly have to update it, currently, they are still waiting for a rom update to fix the sound. I mean, a phone that needs a Sound update for the Phone sound? Bunch of monkies those club imaters.
I am much happier with T-Mobile UK, no sound problems, no camera issues, no planned rom updates. AND NO SUPPORT.
Do you know why?
Because their engineers built it right the first time! So I hope you enjoy all the wonderful support from clubimate, I didn't...
Thanks for the reply mate.
I should have added
I am sepaking about the UK rom, not the German or the dutch, don't know about those...
I flashed my compact from German to (WWE Dutch ver. but unlocked)
Never the less, still satisfied.

HTC P3400 Rom on Prophet

Hello everyone!
This question may sound a little awkward but is it possible to install the HTC Gene (P3400) ROM on a Prophet?
I'm asking this because I read that the P3400's hardware is pretty much the same as S200.
Thanks in advance!
It will doen't work!
Little example:
The HTC Orbit has nearly the same technical aspects as the HTC Prophet but you can't flash a Orbit ROM onto Prophet!

in case you don't know you can install Wizard ROMs on a Prophet i've done it myself, it just doesn't mean it will work well
never heard about htc orbit, but if you're talking about htc Artemis (xda orbit), it doesn't have the same hardware as the prophet: it has gps and fm radio and the prophet doesn't, for example. not to talk about the flash chips and stuff...!
Maybe or maybe not...
Hardware sound similar, but on p3400 no wifi hardware for example...
So might be possible to install, but some stuff will never work.
Wm6 10.0.15342.0
So could we make it with WIZARD's Wm6 10.0.15342.0 ? People having this device is really enthusiastic about this new brand ROm coming straight from Microsoft.
As soon as i get some free time i am gonna work on it.
i think it can work,but D600 look like dopod c858 or M700, but who can fix the rom for D600?

Can someone confirm tomtom 7 for PDA

Currently I'm using tomtom 6, which I believe to be the best gps program around. However, the old maps are starting to annoy me and I have found a few big problems with them already. The new maps only work on tomtom 7, which has no pda version. With a search of all foruns, I found a post from two montsh ago (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1855454&postcount=3) where it says tomtom 7 will be released for sure for pda's. I really can't find any more information about this, can someone please confirm that tomtom will be released soon and I don't have to look around for other solutions?
As far as I know tomtom 7 wont be released for pda.
I have tomtom 7 on a pna and tomtom 6 on pda and believe me... the old navteq maps beat the living ***t out of the new teleatlas maps...
teleatlas maps are fine on big cities but when you go the small areas... street names are all switched, roundabouts where there are none...
it's just sad to see tomtom selling such piece of c**p maps when other pna/pda gps software is using navteq oldies that are far better...
what is a PNA ? im after tomtom 7 for my mates symbian 60 S3 phone, but cant even find it on the tomtom website
A PNA (Personal Navigation Assistant) is a dedicated navigation device. So it will not run WM (maybe at its base) but it's designed only to help navigate.
thanks alot
TomTom Navigator 7 WILL be released, however ...
It will be embedded in the ROM of new PDAs.
Luckily including Touch Diamond, so I would keep scanning XDA Developers for hacks ...
thats just dumb putting into the roms, as if no one is going to work out a way to seperate it!

That like saying you shouldn't lock your car because someone will find a way in.
I wonder if these new maps, that are no good, a being used because of TomTom's new "Reality View" feature.

Well there was an official product launch for the HTC diamond and HTC is not including Tomtom on the diamond. Rumours say that only the german O2 diamond will have tomtom included but there is no official statement for version 7.
Almost sure they don't release tomtom 7 for pda as they now have navcore 8 for pna. So if a new version is available it will most likely tomtom navigator 8 for pda.
Version upgrades for Tomtom :=)
see below ..
Version upgrades for Tomtom :=)
I believe the new version for PDA.s will be with us before X-Mas (in 3-4 month)
All those people who buy a dedicated device; have already. As tomtom has released
version 8 for their map-share and other technologies they need also need the feedback from the PDA guys and as HTC is rolling out so many new models they will possibly only release a version which runs on wm 6.1
i spoke to tech guy and he said something will be out in 3 month but we wait and see.
if anybody buys a htc diamond or new x75xx with mobile 6 (and the device has a gps ship )
please PM me as they normally ship tomtom tasters which might be the version 7 code..
otherwise I am running happy the tomtom v6.0xx with Windows Mobile 6.1 on a HTC 7500 and on a Kaiser which also has the ALK Product which ships from O2
regards
In Italy TomTom presented last version of Tomtom (for PDA) 2 weeks ago...
So I think we'll should be able to use it soon!
anybody an idea where we can find the latest version of tomtom for pda ????
(with Advanced Lane Guidance)
thanks
it's out
Tomtom 7 for PDA is out... but none got the crack yet

rom question

Hello everybody !
I have a touch cruise from sweden with swedish language WM6 , I am tempted to uppdate the rom to make the phone fast or more responsive .
Is there a specific rom for swedish phones ? do I loose the swedish language with rom update ?
Is there a big difference between VM6 and WM6.1 ?
Thanks in advance / dilo
Good question! I'm also waiting for an official romupdate for minority languages like swedish to 6.1.
Hope it will come soon.
Ok , so there is nothing for the moment :-( .Why no update for the cruise like for the kaiser ?? as I understund it , its allmost the same phones -
Regards / Dilo
There is no another swedish rom out there beside the wm6.0, if you flash another rom you offcourse lost the swedish language. I have used the swedish rom too and when i made registry tweaks it become more responsive.
I have wonder the same about rom updates for cruise, Kaiser gets updates but not cruise. Its f.ing anoying to sign in to Htc e-club when they welcome you with txt "You can start enjoying the benefits of being an HTC e-Club member"
had cruse for 6month now and and no benefits yet, had Trinity for allmost two years no benefits. Hope they come with the 6.1 update soon
Agree with you. Have been onboard the Cruise for 6 month and very little attention from HTC to the minority rom like the swedish which I have too. We need to put some pressure on them. It should be quite a number of Cruises sold in Sweden by now and poor support.
Hi !
I got my cruise for around 3/4 month now and I had two hard reset allready , thats not good .
My freind has an iphone and never got any problems .
What to do ? I know one thing , this is my first and last Htc product .
Best regards / dilo

6.1 Touch Cruise Update (Australian)

I won a new touch cruise but am told it was originally from Australia and it still has WM 6.0 on it. I would really love to upgrade to a 6.1 ROM with some nice touchscreen menus, etc but cannto find one that works on either the HTC site or AT&T site. (I am in the US). Can anyone direct me?
Thanks,
Chris
