I just had my HTC Touch HD T8282 with MW version 1.14.403.3(22273) WWE. I have several questions and hope to find answers here.
1. Google maps were not already installed, I installed it by myself from mobile.google.com. The program works fine but it does not find any satellite. Is it normal ? I am living in Turkey.
2. Should I upgrade my OS to 1.19... by using the OliNex ? I mean are there any big differences between those two versions ? I don't see any lag on my device currently. Are there so many new properties coming with the new version ? I am using my pda mainly for business.
3. This is my biggest problem. From Start>Programs>Messenger I open Windows Live Messenger. I choose sign in as Busy, Online or Away, etc. Then I click sign in and proceed to mail&password screen. But at that screen I cannot write my e-mail !! I can write my password thus I cannot click the sign in button because the mail is not written. Its the 2 of the 5 steps. What should I do? If the upgrade will fix this issue I will do it immediately. Messenger is a must for me in pda.
4. What is the best source for downloading .cab game files.
Thanks.
Hello !
I have a Polaris/TC with TomTom7 installed. It has worked fine but
suddenly when I try to use TomTom I got the message "GPS-unit missing"
I have downloaded "quick_GPS" several times, done soft reset, checked that
internal antenna is used in TT etc. but no luck !
Please help me with some ideas for toubleshooting, I realy liked my TomTom !

Hm, could be hardware error... or, hopefully, borked COM settings in TomTom.
So first try COM settings (check what settings TomTom requires).
Then try some other NAV software (any would be good, even freeware - there's a lot of them. Google Maps might do).
Then you might try pain-in-the-ass option of hard reset.
If after that it's not working, then only repair remains...
Thanks for answer my question.....
Im always in a hurry, so I uppdated my TC to wm 6.1 and after that
TomTom decided to work again ! (don´t ask me why)
BUT ! as an old guy (56) its not so easy to remember every thing, I forgot to
backup my phone...and my numbers to the sim-card
So I have had a nice evening recover all phone-numbers.....
I have another issue, I have eraesed the standard TomTom from
TC and installed a better one.
Now I how to get the shortcut for TT on the start/main screen ??
Ah... I'm not much younger (49), but as IT manager I ALWAYS do backup...
You have not erased TT (uninstalled, temporary... since it's part of official ROM. So it's gone untill next hard reset).
I use standard HTC Home plugin, so I added my GPS software (iGO) as one of the shortcuts on tab 3.
However, you can use Windows Commander Mobile to easily put shortcut to anything practically anywhere.
Or you can simply select TT and add it to Start menu instead of something else...
If I may ask, where did you get you version of WM 6.1 (HTC, XDA-Devs etc)? If XDA, which particular one of the various "cooked" (I think thats the term..) ROMs. I have been looking at upgrading recently and would value your opinon on the version you are using..
Cheers,
IJ
My WM 6.1 is from HTC site.
Since my device was never SIM-locked, I was able to upgrade existing 6.0 to 6.1.
I have heard that most SIM-locked devices were not allowed to upgrade from HTC site.
Have not yet tried cooked ROMs...
My opinion of upgrading to 6.1 is stated somewhere on this forum... just search for my posts...
i was just curious as to whether certain programs that im using for my touch pro 1 will work with the touch pro 2.
htorch,mortscript(used for random ringtones),s2u2,.net configuration tool,barcorama,cab xpress,clear temp,diamond tf3d configuration tool,diamond tv,diamond tweak (and if this will not work will sum1 please recommend a similar program designed for the vzw tp2),go news touch,microsoft live search,pandora (the version i have right now doesnt display properly so if theres a more appropriate one please recommend),personalizer(changes carrier name),ppcgeeks mobile(gotta have this),and the mobile youtube app. also, if anyone knows of any other useful apps that will definitely work for the touch pro 2 id love to give them a try...
the only other question i have regards the gps in the vzw tp2...my question is, is i download google maps (or anything that uses gps) will it automatically work or is the sumthing like the "bored" fix that ill have to do...id love to be able to use gps but i tried bored's fix on my touch pro 1 and couldnt get it to work...

Google maps worked automatically. It's been raining here, and I didn't want to stand out in the rain waiting for it to get a sattelite lock so I used QuickGPS. After it downloaded data, GMaps found the sats in less than 10 seconds and found my location very accurately.

I'm not sure. It was raining Saturday when the phone was delivered. I stood outside for a minute, and it hadn't found a GPS lock yet. Once I used QuickGPS it locked on in a few seconds. I haven't used the GPS since then since my battery was draining fast enough from just normal use.
I got a lock right away with Google Maps with no third party priming software. I just had to set Google Maps manually to com4, baud rate 4800 and then enable GPS all the time instead of just with 911 and it locked on in about 3 seconds. Gonna test Garmin & Tomtom this afternoon to see if it needs the same manual setup.
the verizon tp2 has an app call quickgps that downloads updates to the gps...after i downloaded, ive been geting up to 15 satellites and instant locks....highly recommend this to anyone before changing any settings

That's an HTC application that's been in every HTC phone I've owned with GPS onboard. Yes - very handy.

my previous phone(vogue on verizon) had the gps locked so i never had this program. i was (at best) getting 5-6 satellites. after i updated my tp2 with this htc app i get around 12 which was a total shocker. i'm just so happy with this phone, now just waiting for some rom development to rise from the dead...lol
back to your original question
i was just curious as to whether certain programs that im using for my touch pro 1 will work with the touch pro 2.

Yes, I too had an original HTC TPwith a lot of the same programs. Will they run on the TP2? I think the htorch may not as the TP2 doesn't have a flash for the camera.
Thanks - K
Maps and S2U2
Google Maps worked fine for me today with the GPS ( did use the QuickGPS first, very simple though). Found up to 10 Satellites that I noticed. Just loaded S2U2 1.62 QVGA and it loaded fine. Seems to work after the reboot. Looks like the sizing may be a little off though.
txyaloo and quick gps
Ive been trying to find the Quick gps cab that would work for tp2
txyaloo could you maybe post it or tell me where you got it

htorch won't do anything since TP2 doesn't have flash
s2u2 works
I use cleanRAM instead of clear temp
don't use diamond tf3d config
I use HD Tweak instead of Diamond Tweak since it's a bigger screen
Youtube should come stock on the verizon version
GPS is already unlocked and VZW version i think came stock with Bing but I may have installed it seperately
I currently have on my VZW Touch Pro2:
Bing
ContactFix
Display Switch
G-Alarm
HD Tweak
MP3 Trimmer
Pocket Uno (;
S2U2
Total Commander
cleanRAM
psShutXP
and I can confirm all these work
Hi all ,
As the title says I have a Desire S on it's way and should be here tomorrow and I have a couple of questions .
1,
What's the best way to transfer the contacts and calendar from my current phone to the Desire S ?
Is it best to set up Google Sync on my Windows Mobile and use that to sync between both phones ? or is there a better way ?
I am currently using a HTC HD Mini .
2,
What's the best SatNav program for the Desire S , using offline maps ( Saved to memory card )
I am using TomTom at the moment on my HD Mini and it works perfectly .
It's my first Android phone and any guides / tips are most welcome.
My last few phones werea all Windows Mobile .
Thanks in advance .
Hi!
1.) Congrats
2.)The easiest way is certainly through google, Going from asus P750 I remember some programs to transfer data across platforms, but it was not very reliable (national characters lost etc...)
3.) I'm currently using iGo which I used on WM too, but sadly iGo can not be purchased normally for Android, it's a company solution only... so unless you want to .... iGo, I'd recommend Sygic or something similar...
4.) Wait for the phone to arrive to raize questions, I'm sure you'll have many
Thanks for the reply ,
It turned out to be easy to get my contacts and calendar from my HD Mini to the Desire S .
I set up a gmail account , and used ActiveSync on the HD Mini to sync to the gmail account .
When I turned on the Desire S for the first time and entered the gmail account details , it downloaded all my contacts .
Love the phone so far , I'm still finding my way around Android...
Same with me, i'll get my Desire S this Sunday. Before i use Samsung Galaxy Ace.
i've several question
1. If i get s-on, may be it not possible to root it atm. so my question how i can remove advertisement in some app? (last time i used adfree but i know it only work for rooted phone)
2. Where i can found flashing tools and firmware for this device? (last time samfirmware give me all of this for samsung)
Thanks before
1. u can't
2. look at the desire s android development forum, there is a thread with the OEM roms
For the of-line Navigation, I don't know which is best, just to avoid the included HTC Locations. I paid for a full perpetual licence, it refused to work and Route 66 refused to refund me.
However, I can certainly help you with some tips! I have done a beginner's guide on this thread...

Here you can download my tips and suggestions in .pdf format. I updated it yesterday.
There should be at least a couple of helpful bits in there for you!
Hi there,
I am new to the Android world and just got a Nexus S (i9023), and am playing with it quite a lot.
I have been using GPA17 ROM and kernel since this morning, and I am mostly satisfied with it, though I do have one question :
I was using stock ROM before, and could store in cache some parts of the map in Maps, just by selecting that option in the location. But after having changed to GPA17, I just do not have access to it, though I have Maps v5.9.0...
Does anyone know why, and/or how I could fix this? (or maybe, it caches map automatically when loading it?)
I cannot post in the Dev section yet, but I do have to wait at unlocking right after I switch my Nexus S on, the desktop takes time to appear (so do the drawer...).
