That's because WP7 isn't currently capable of that type of nav. It requires APIs that MS hasn't released yet. But when the updates start coming, maybe those will happen.

Wrong. Navigon has an app out there already using no internal APIs (apart from the one giving access to IMEI/IMSI numbers).

API's should be available long time ago because Navigon made a carrier-restricted MobileNavigator app, Telmap made a carrier-restricted app and there's the freely available beta a-to-b app in the marketplace.
Unfortunately Navigon is restricted to T-Mobile and only offes a germany (dach) map and the telmap and a-to-b app are online apps. Could get quite expensive, if you're not in your carrier's net (roaming).
So you guys are saying WP7 can now do turn by turn voice guided nav?

It's always been able to - just not thru Bing maps [yet]. All the APIs necessary are available to developers (i.e. Location API).
I've been using Navigon since launch pretty much and while the app still leaves a bit to the imagination it does indeed work as expected. Also very quick in getting a lock and seems to track my location very precise.

There is Telenav which is available for $10 a month for voice nav which has been available for a while now. Don't think it's worth the $10 but wireless employees get the service for free.
That's good to know. I was lead to believe the system didn't yet have this ability. Are these apps currently available and as good as their counterparts?
Just did a market search for Navigon and came up unfound.
Jesus frikking Christ! The market is so sluggish! It is such a pain in the rear trying to browse the damn thing. Scrolling is painful and loading takes forever.
|I just checked all the markets and there is no app called "Telenav"

Navigon uses the same maps as the iPhone version so theoretically there should be no differences between the versions.
Unfortunately, you will only find Navigon in the marketplace if you're using a t-mobile germany/austria sim card or t-mobile germany/austria branded device. Navigon said they're working on a carrier independent version but they did not mention a specific release date.

But I am using a T-Mobile branded device. My HD7 is specific to T-Mobile in the US.

I couldn't find it either.
Navigon is exclusive to TMODE, Telenav is exclusive to TMOUS and AT&T Navigator is exclusive to, wait for it, AT&T
Navigon is the best one though as it's "offline" navigation and there are no monthly fees.
I spoke to Navigon not long ago and I believe their exclusivity deal runs out around mid-summer which means we should find the app available for everyone in the marketplace. They have recently updated their existing app from v1.4 to 2.1 which is more in-line with competing platforms in terms of functionality also.

It's in the TMOUS marketplace, named T-Mobile Telenav GPS. Currently at v5.9.

I don't have a T-Mobile marketplace. I have an HTC market, but I also did a direct search for T-Mobile and didn't see the Telenav app. I also typed in "T-Mobile Telenav" and came up not found.

Do you not have a TMOUS branded device? Either because you purchased off-contract or flashed a generic ROM? If so, you'll have to side-load. If you do have a branded phone you should be able to click this link from your phones browser however.

My HD7 is a T-Mobile branded device and was bought from T-Mobile. But I paid for it outright rather than sign a contract for service. It isn't one of those international phones that can be used on any GSM network. It can only be used with T-Mobile...for 3G data, that is. It is sim-unlocked, though.
Is it possible that the sim card needs to be inserted for it to access T-Mobile apps?

That sounds plausible. Stick your (or any) TMOUS SIM in there and it should give you access to it. Be aware though that the app itself may also be carrier dependant which means you can't run the app without a correct SIM inserted.

That is the case. I powered down my HD2, which runs an outstanding Energy WinMo ROM...love using that baby...and pulled the sim to put in my HD7. Once booted, I typed in T-Mobile Telenav and was rewarded with the app.
Eh...I now remember why I never used it before...even on my HD2. It costs $10 per month. Would rather spend $30 to $50 for CoPilot or Navigon or Tom Tom or some other downloaded nav and not face a monthly fee. Not having a steady income kind of forbids the extra cost...even though my cellphone bills are paid by my relative. I choose not to take advantage of them.
Hello,
does anybody located in Europe using the Middle East Version with 128GB/6B RAM of HTC U11 in Europe?
If yes, are there any technical restraints, like functions unavailable, bands not covered etc.?
Thank you!

European and Middle Eastern dual-SIM U11 models have identical Model IDs and firmware and only differ by their CIDs. You can use them interchangeably, LTE frequency band support is the same.
Thank you, Kisakuku, that's motivating.
Be aware however that the UAE version does not have Google assistant or Amazon Alexa. I even tried signing up to the beta version of Google play services & the Google app to no avail.

Thanks, but as far as I could experience both work. Well, Alexa at least could be installed, with Google assistant I already worked a little bit. So, no limitations here.

Hell yes! If possible buy the Indian version, it comes with pre installed Gapps.
Buy Indian version
I have the indian version as im from India, and its an excellent phone.
Phones from china dont usally have google services installed so i recommend to get it from India, as all services are installed.
Unfortunately I was only able to order Chinese version? I had to go with gearbest... What sucks is they put the Global 845 version up for only 110$ more after I bought the phone. I tried to cancel order but it already shipped.

I'm in the US on T-Mobile (sim1) and att (sim2) no issues although I had to fix apn cuase the auto assigned on did have a couple of settings for my T-Mobile SIM. As for the Google play it's works just fine, just take note it's not certified device so some apks you'll have side load ie Netflix etc. etc.
Vivo account is pretty annoying and so is the default luncher. I switched mine to Nova and got a vivo an account made from the seller I got it from.

Has anyone gotten RCS to work in the Google messaging app? I have Carrier Services installed and it still says my device isn't supported.

I don't think RCS via TMO probably won't ever come to our phones since they're international models. The TMO variants of the 6T and 7 Pro have RCS since they're sold directly from them.
Since Google is taking initiative themselves for rolling out RCS, we would have to wait until they roll it out to the U.S.

I think you're right about not getting it officially from T-Mobile. Hopefully, Google pushes their initiative soon; I'm looking forward to it.
I recently purchased a Oneplus 8 from T-Mobile, I paid in full and I'm using it on T-Mobile prepaid now. I do see on T Mobile's website that there was an update that went out in June, Build Number 10.5.10. I'm currently on Build Number 10.5.7, and I've tried several times to go into Settings>System>System Update to check for updates and nothing is available whatsoever. I know that updates are normally staged, but shouldn't that be available for all devices by now? Is me being on T-Mobile prepaid somehow hindering my ability to get updates? Any thoughts?
Try loading Oxygen Updater from the play store and see if that helps

Unfortunately I already tried that and it didn't work
The current versions are:
INDIA: Oxygen OS 10.5.10.IN21DA
EUROPE: Oxygen OS 10.5.9.IN21BA
NORT AMERICA: Oxygen OS 10.5.11.IN21AA
Go to https://www.oneplus.com/support and click on Software Upgrade and be sure to have the settings so that you get the version for North America witch is 10.5.11.IN21AA. As you now have AA at the end I suppose you are in the USA.
Follow the instructions on the web page to place the file as it is on the phone and do a local update.

Being on TMO prepaid may be different. There may be a roll out for you but I don't know. The TMO build should be 10.5.10.IN55CB which is for TMO. A lot of people move to international due to the lack I'm updated from TMO.
I am on TMO but I'm rooted and running the international version of 10.5.11.IN21AA. Happy modding!

I think it may be because I'm on prepaid. I did a chat with Oneplus and I got the usual, nothing helpful, they just said the updates aren't available in my region??? I'm in the US so that makes no sense. Oh well. I requested the unlock token on Tuesday, so I'll be on the INT'L version soon enough. Just frustrating
Update:
I decided to do the MSM flash for 10.5.7 and that actually solved my problem and I am getting updates now.
