I read somewhere that RC9 UK version is starting to be rolled out. German RC 9 version already has.
Are theses versions equal? Is there german language available in the RC9 (under phone settings - locale & text - selct locale?
Any efforts on rooting RC9?
I am on RC33 JF at the moment but loved to switch to the European version because of the ability to use market with paid apps. Of course I want to keep root access. German ui would be a nice add-on.

You won't see any "paid apps" as long as you are accessing the store with a European IP afair
yes, but it will be a matter of time with a german G1. I heard rumours that paid apps will start 3rd of march.
UK RC9 has not come to me yet...
UK RC9 has been released for testing only (not public release) so wont be long before we see it. There are still issues with MMS and PDF in browser which is trying to be ironed out.

RC9 has a native pdf viewer?
im starting to get disapointed with the g1. i thought we would have our ownscreen keyboard by now, better blue tooth support etc and othe rnice features.
I believed that would happen end of jan, its now march.
I wish i had gone with the touch HD.
maybe i could accidentlay break it, claim on the insurance for anothe rphone?
Same here, im looking at the touch HD, £395 at cex.co.uk

I just got the rc9 update here in the uk
reaaly
Yes. It came ota last night at 10.30 ish. I can't see that much has changed.
Market place is no longer beta. I don't seem to have voice search or latitude though?
no latitude, how crap, only think i wanted, gotta dump this phone, its a constant let down.
I was hoping this update would bring us latitude, but I cannot understand why we are lagging so far behind the US. It's a real disappointment, one of the main reasons I went for the G1 was because of it's openness and I expected Google to keep on improving it.
Just out of interest, when did you activate your phone? Wondering if it's being rolled out dependent on activation date rather than geography.
Mine was bought of ebay. So don't know when it was originally activated.
For me, the update seems pointless. Nothing new to see!

Just to be sure: You know, that Latitude is part of Google Maps?
Open Maps, press Menu: There's "join latitude".
It's in the German Update, so it should be in the UK one also...
yes, i did know it is part of google maps. but the option is not there.

I had problems installing CoPilot from the danish website, and tried contacting their help-line...
Apparently, again I can only speak for the danish variant, the version on their website doesn't work for TD2. But HTC.com has a version under "support" that works beautifully with the TD2, and that's the one CoPilot's supporter told me to download.
So try and download that, and see if it works for you.
*fingers crossed*
Wulls,
I considered upgrading and checked it out on CoPilot's website only to discover that CP Live 8 is not compatible (either as a new download, or an upgrade) for TD2s or TP2s that came with the original 15-day trial version, even though the general compatibility chart states both handsets are compatible with CPL8.
So if yours, like mine, came with that trial version, then you will not be able to upgrade, which seems absolutely stupid to me.
I wonder however if you flashed a new ROM (most if not all of which wouldn't include to CP7 trial), then you be able to download it (CPL8) as a new instal (which costs just 3GBP more).
My first venture away from Tomtom (and I've regretted it for the most part)!
I forgot to mention I already purchased Copilot Live 7 for my Diamond 2 in May as no nav software came with it. Here is the reply from Alk when I explained this to them.
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
"I am confirming that indeed that the HTC Touch Diamond 2 without pre-installed copilot(trial version) will be able to upgrade copilot 8"
When I contacted them about not being able to download the upgrade They "think" that there is a problem with their server this is why I cannot download it, have been waiting two days for a reply
I dont have co-pilot7 pre installed and ive just brought co-pilot8 trying to install now.....
WORKING
Ive just got it working, no problems what so ever, guess u need to have a devise which didnt orginally have copilot pre installed

It would have been version 8...
But I ended up finding a different sollution, since their support took ages to answer even the simplest of questions.
I had contact with them both by email and by phone...
It took almost 2½ weeks for me to get an answer on what to do, and that was after calling them.
I rarely use support/helplines, but when I do I expect to get a quick reply...
that got to be the dummest firm i ever did buy something from, my TD2 came with a CD with 15 days trial. i quickly buy the europe maps, now i cant upgrade to the newest V8, it says my product cant be upgraded. **** thats lame.
i will wait and see what their support says about that.
or els i have to move on to TOMTOM or something like that.
to bad my licens is only 3 months old........
I downloaded v8 from the UK website (I live in Germany and the German site doesn't as yet have v8 on offer). It took ages to download as the transfere speed never exceeded 42kb/sec, even though I have a DSL6000 line. But once I had all the files on the desktop it only took a minute or two to transfere to my SD card.
I have used it a few times to test on routes that I normally use for work and it works great. GPS aquisition is much faster than with my old TT6, and route planning is also very fast. Also, if you don't follow the turns that Co-Pilot suggests, it will very quickly re-plan a route for you.
Co-Pilot Live8 cost me €29.99 (£25) from the UK Co-Pilot site, which is amazingly cheap. For Co-Pilot 7 from the Germany site it would have cost me €70!! So if you are looking for a good, working, legal (NOT WAREZ!!) navi software then it would be worth taking a look at http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/
I have this running on my Diamond 2. Works in Portrait and Landscape modes. I am very happy with it and would recommend anyone to at least have a look at the website I mentioned above. Sadly there is no trial version, which is offered by some other navi firms, such as Navigon (30 day trial of their latest software!!).

Yes but how did you download it? I got sent the link to the site, but when I put the required details in it just keeps bouncing saying incorrect information - even though I'm using the exact same details they sent to me in their order confirmation!
Do you have a different URL to the one they sent in the email?
Guys, the version 7 software for the TD2 is the same in data and functionality as the new version 8

I have both the TD2-specific flavour of v7 CoPilot as well as version 8 in front of me.
Sure they have changed the menu slightly on v8, but TD2-version7 has all the same functions - local search, live weather, etc.. Also the TD2v7 maps I downloaded are same as the v8 maps.
Unless different country versions are different?... Who knows.
can someone upload the cab file from the 2577 folder ? would be fun to see what happens if i installed it.

Finally got it. Wasn't entering the wrong info, just that their server was knackered / slow / down. After 20 mins of going in and trying again every couple of minutes, hey presto it actually connected and allowed the download!
Was talking to my friend at ALK who said they have been caught a bit short due to the shear popularity of their iPhone and Android releases - proving hugely popular, especially at the current price.
Co-Pilot 8
Abosolute bargain, just got it for my TD2 £25.99 off ALK website, works great and is slightly better than V7.
First time posting and sorry if this is a repost. Since search is down, I couldn't find anything on this on the first 8 pages.
For those who bought the T-Mobile version, have you noticed the Locations application is missing? or is this called something else. The cool thing this application added was that when in Navigation and a person called you, it wouldn't kick you out of the navigation app. This was all part of the HTC Sense experience. HTC's website says this is included, but my noticed I didn't have it.
on my htc flyer, it s call locations and it is missing from the sensation.
I noticed that I don't have it either, which kinda bums me out, because sometimes while driving, I do lose data, and Google Maps takes a dump (and I can't find a good offline map app).
I just got off the phone with HTC. They confirmed that the locations app is only available on the European editions and the US version don't have it. Hopefully this is a later update.
I wonder if someone can rip it out of Euro sensation and we can try to just install it like a regular app....

You think that would include US maps?
What is so exciting about Locations? The first thing I saw when I tried to do anything useful in it was how I got a weeks trial and then had to pay to use any navigation features.

I thought walking navigation was free, no? The other advantage is it uses phone resident maps, so you don't need a data connection. Lastly you can pay for a month at a time, so for some it's cost effective.
I have telenav gps navigator on my US Sensation with the same one month pro trial and free basic usage. I also Gaia free from Amazon which has pretty good downloading capability but the street maps arent as up to date as Google or Bing.
it's not the only thing Tmobile took out. Made a post with all of it listed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125913
I purchased Sensation yesterday in Singapore (Starhub) and Locations is included. Looks like it is included for Euprpean and Asian markets.
As a matter of fact, I also found a voucher code in the box that gives me unlimited navigational capabilities for Singapore and Malaysia.

Yay!!

About time! Though having said that, the unbranded one was only rolled out last week, so not too long after I guess?

It's only a small update, some bug fixes and the like. It's normal
Ah I see -
I'm not sure where I read, but for some reason I thought it was about 330 Mb!?
hmm...
Ok, well it's installed and now loading up
Will give you feedback in a few mins
Hmm....
Nothing spectacular at the moment...
Scrolling is smooth (it was smooth initially anyways though)...
Got a score of 1900 on Quadrant, whereas I was getting 1800 up till now...
Something is synchronising constantly for the last few minutes (the two arrows in a circle), that's about it at the moment
Really need to test this at home - hopefully the signal issue is fixed! (Kept dropping randomly)

You caught me Hope you don't mind , I though my sig looked a buit Naff with nothing in it, lol
but yea, I wish voda would let the OS be, yea ok maybe add an app thats of use, but messing about with stock apps, thats not what I am paying for. I am hoping that rooting s-off will get rid of this vodafone restriction.
I a ( and have asked in the QA section) if it was possible to do what you could do with the old nokias, and thats edit the phones product code so that it would install the offical OTA update (i.e the Eu standard) rather than the branded one.
Also for Ireland
Also now available for Vodafone Ireland. They're possibly the same version of firmware though.

I don't mind at all mate!!
The gold card that worked on previous HTC handsets would've done the job here too but seems it doesn't with the Sensation at present (which worked in much the same way as old Nokia handsets in that it hid the phone real product code)
hopfully they are working on the gold card, I have seens ome threads regarding development and testing of the gold card, but I assume this is more likly to work when s-off has been achieved.
Once we have S-OFF we can go custom so stock RUUs will be pointless. Just use a custom ROM based on the stock ROM!
Have they done anything sneaky in it that will effect s-off later or is the H-Boot the same? I know the last update for the Legend from Vodafone made it a lot more awkward to root it and at the moment neither Htc nor Vodafone have said if Vodafone will allow s-off. Just a bit scared to update and be ****ed later.
well i asked this on the vodafone forum and the mods replied stating that they don't see why Vodafone would not allow the s-off update to go through. I guess its a good sign when you dont just get the generic 'We don't know at this time'
also I am guessing with a modded rom, this would be better than a stock rom, yet how would you go about getting updates for a modded rom? Just wait for a modder to release an update, also with a modded rom, do they just use the base rom i.e euro standard.
Hi guys, just a heads up. Copilot gps navigation is free. You can download any country map for free BUT, there's always a BUT, full voice guided navigation costs you £19.99 in the UK. But hey, its for free. Might be of use to somebody.

HELL YESSS!!!!!!!
I bought the UK one on my iPhone for £19.99, and was pissed that when I switched to android im told I have to buy it again! , can happily live without voice as I use it on my motorcycle where I cant hear anything over the exhaust noise anyway!
Edit: still annoying its only 2D
i have just downloaded this but i get 3d view and turn by turn voice i havent paid is it a trial or something like that?

I don't think so mate. Its from the Play Store so it should be completely legitimate. I think you must've just encountered a bug or something that got you features that were supposed to be blocked.
Oh well, having read the reviews it sounds quite buggy in general. Waiting for the new Sygic...
Corrupt text inputs
Is it just my copy of it? On the Prime the text input does not work correctly and keeps adding or removing random letters. Cannot enter an email address easily and now have no idea what password was set.
Works well on the Xoom but not the prime.
Configuration issue
does someone know if there is a way to configure this app so the menu'es aren't so tiny?

Yes, I would recommend finding a different navigator... I have the full version and it has a lot of bugs and their support basically sucks... Their solution to every bug report is that there is something wrong on my side and they want me to delete everything on my phone to fix their bugs....

Your dead right, i bought co pilot once, they totally screwed up my upgrade and then blamed me, the treated me like an idiot and took no responsability for they're software , wouldnt give me a refund, wouldn't let me migrate etc etc etc,
i urge you, all do not buy from this company
they are only money grabbers selling a bug ridden program, its almost as if they don't realise there are better alternatives out there,
i for one will never buy from them again, anyone else had similar experience with co pilot/dough pilot?

I bought this app for my Wm6.5 and had utterly terrible support, bad enough that I relish the opportunity to let everyone else know. They had this botched system where when you upgraded ROM you had to uninstall and deregister to be able to re-install. Needless to say the system failed and I had to jump through a million hoops to get them to give me a new activation code as if I was some kind of a criminal. Best avoided for sure.
sorry to dig up an old thread but I downloaded the free version of Copilot for my Galaxy Note running 4.1.2 Jellybean and the application doesnt open. It hangs on the splash screen and closes.
Anyone else experience this problem? Any fixes?
Go to Applications, Copilot, and then FC-Clear cache-Clear data... i did that and i dont have any problem... only once i had this problem

Unless there is an application or setting on the device causing it to crash? Ideally I don't want to hard reset my device.
