I have a Shadow, and for some reason neither google maps or any other program seem to be able to report a cell id. I was wondering if this is something unique to the shadow or perhaps just my area? I'm on T-mobile near Oklahoma City if thats at all relevant.
I have the Shadow as well but I am located in Los Angeles California. So far google maps has located me down to the street from home to work. It is not live GPS, but it does help when I want to locate things in the area I am in.

Hi-
I have been a lurker here for a bit- This is my first post.
In order for the Google Maps My Location feature to work, you must unlock it to apps.
Download the cab here
http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/AppUnlockReg.htm
It will auto-edit the registry for you.
Do a soft reset, and it will work...
Its pretty neat on my shadow, a little further away than I expected tho..

Thanks a million! This was exactly the information I needed. I went ahead and used the manual registry edit to application unlock the 3125 - and presto, suddenly google maps is doing My Location happily as a clam!

Hi!
Does anybody know from where I can download Google Maps? No, it did not come with the phone. And yes, I know that normally you get it from www.google.com/gmm - except that all I get from there is "Sorry, Google Maps does not work on your HTC TouchDual."
Do you guys get the same message?
use internet explorer to browse google.com/gmm
this is because opera's user agent..

To be honest I have never come across anyone who didn't have it installed as stock. Where did you get your TP from?
As for downloading it, you will need to search the forum and see if any one has extracted it from their TP as I assume it is a bespoke build for the software

no, it's a standard build. And there were problems with it on the diamond with it not shuttiong down the GPS properly and rinsing the battery in around 2.5 to 3 hours.
go to www.google.com/gmm using INTERNET EXPLORER and download the latest version!

It wasn't pre-installed on mine.

I just directly go to that URL with Opera Mobile (case sensitive!) and download the cab
Is the google maps install on the UK version the full version or still linked to the web?
GPS problem or Google maps problem
Hi!
With IE, I got presumably the latest version, which seems to be 2.2.0.19.
However, I can not lock into satellites at all.
Before that I had found one web-site that hosted an earler version that was very quick to find satellites - it just was missing lot of features like the favorites and was nagging all the time about updates.
So the question is, is this a problem with GM? Or the phone otherwise? Here are my settings:
Windows GPS settings:
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (None), Baud rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically: checked
In Google Maps, I've selected the option to get position through Windows (as opposed to manual setup).
Does anybody know any free program that I can use to check out the GPS functionality preferably in a way that would give some deeper access to functionality - like the traditional satellite view? Thanks in advance!
Forgot some details:
I've run the QuickGPS - hope that is not what is confusing the GPS now as I had just had a update before this latest version of GM?
Google Maps just sits there with "searching for GPS-satellites (0)..." and never advances the count from 0...
DO a search and you will find a thread "testing gps" where you will find a tool for "testing gps"!

Read the other threads on gps performance!!!!!
YOur first lock on satilites can take upto 20mins, even though you have updated quickgps. You need to be stationary and preferably outside.

Thanks I'll try that tool.
However, I did have older GM installed previously and it found a lock in just a few minutes. Actually GM doesn't even wait 20 min before it shows you a screen that says that it can not get a fix.

I bought mine from Expansys.co.uk and mine came with it, although that was before the price drop so they may be differant units
you got the UK unit, not the EU one, possibly

Yes, 1.90.405.1 is the UK ROM.
Same problem with the set I bought in Singapore, no google map included, and thanks for the IE fix, weird why Opera can't do it though.
Cheers.

Hi dear,
I'm using Samsung Omnia 7 and I've successfully updated my phone to 7.0.7392.0.
But when I tried to search some place in bing "MAP" application, it just goes the bing search screen. I don't when it's been launched like this.
Anybody can help me?
My phone use I8700XENJK1 CSC.
There is a search button in the app. Just tap it.
Yeah, I did. But it goes to Bing Search.
it's within in the app, not the search button on the phone itself...
cheers,
simon

I know exactly what the OP is talking about... pressing that little search button opens IE Bing (at least on my Maps... and OP's it seems).

have a look at the following registry key on your wp7-device:
[HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\xx-XX] (where xx-XX is your locale)
insert or set
RoutingSupported=dword:1
SearchSupport=dword:1
then it should be fixed!
confirmed the bing-search thing (within the maps application) by setting the value for RoutingSupported to 0 on my device --> hitting the search button opens bing search
changing it back to 1 gives me the ability to serch for destinations in the maps application...
cheers,
simon
p.s. your device has to be unlocked to use any registry editor - I used WP7 root tools by Heathcliff74 for changing the registry values...
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021135
does it work with the changed registry key?
cheers,
simon
I'm trying now Thank you so much mate!
But it still doesnt work....
in which area do you live and what input locales did you set?
the first time I had to change my phone to german (germany) instead of german (austria) to able to search within the maps...
with german (austria) I had the same issues as you have - but with the two registry keys set I'm able to search within bing maps...
Damm, I have asked about this 2 weeks ago

It worked with polish local settings. Tested on LG E900, used build in registry editor.
PS code for Polish is pl-pl.

BTW: which values did you add?
RoutingSupported=dword:1
SearchSupport=dword:1
or did you add GeocodeSupported=dword:1 as well?

I live in New Zealand and I set en-NZ input locales.
Still I can't search in bing map
Finally it works now on both devices, Samsung Omnia 7 and LG quantum
Thank you guys! It's so useful and easy!
what I have on my device:
regional settings are all to German (Austria)
HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\de-AT
GeocodeSupported : DWord=1
RoutingSupported : DWord=1
SearchSupported : DWord=1
HKLM\System\SearchMaps\Configuration
AutoSuggestTimeoutMS : DWord=600
AutoSuggestUnsupportedLocale : DWord=0
MapsHistoryDeleted : DWord=0
MapsLocationAccess : DWord=1
OnlineAutoSuggest : DWord=1
SearchLocationAccess : DWord=0
SearchLocationConsentPrompted : DWord=1
I had a look at HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\en-NZ as well:
without any changes there are
OnlineAutoSuggestions : DWord=1
SearchSupport : DWord=1
I just changed my regional settings to en-NZ on my device (with en-US as display language), opened bing maps and was able to search within the app (no fallback to bing search)... I was even able to navigate to a destination
What happens if you set your regional settings to en-AU?
Does it work then?
I hope you get your problem fixed...
cheers,
simon

But it seems it can't find any places in NZ.
It's weird.

I had the same problem after setting
HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\de-AT
GeocodeSupported : DWord=1
When I delete this entry, search is fine again
I can reproduce this error, when setting the registry key GeocodeSupported : DWord=1 again
seems like some regions (like de-AT or en-NZ) do not support all features of bing maps (en-US has some more features)...
Try to delete the GeocodeSupported key and search should be ok again...
cheers,
simon
Yeah I deleted that key and it works so fine

Hello
I am a registered developer for WP7 and I got an invite from Microsoft to get Mango for my phone, and I did.
My questions is this: on engadget.com, I saw a video of a phone running a newer version of Mango, with a few extra features (visual voicemail, bing something, etc)
How can I get that? Or is it only available to certain devs?
Searched around, have yet to see any answers.
Thanks.
a number of features are country dependent and some are dependent on your carrier.
If you can give us that information, perhaps someone can tell you more.
can somebody explain to me why I dont have bing audio in mango beta 2? is it region specific too? I am located in surabaya indonesia with telkomsel. developer unlocked...
or nobody has it on their beta 2?

I am located in the US, on AT&T, with a Samsung Focus.
The new Bing map features were demonstrated using an example from NYC, so if anything, this should be available in the US.

I've got it on mine. Tested it too and works. I'm in the US. I wonder if there's any way to trick the Zune software, maybe connect through a proxy or something.

Visual Voicemail is available only on t-mobile in the US.. I have a focus on at&t.. so I don't get it either..
Bing Vision, Bing Music, Bing Maps w/ turn by turn directions and Local Scout all work on my device.
Facebook chat works as well, it just needs to be linked to windows live via live.com before it will work.
I saw at least one video with an unlocked focus running on t-mobile that was demonstrating the visual voicemail feature in mango.
Anybody able to make bing audio work outside us? Tried changing the region settings to us and did not work.
My settings are set to australia, but my actual location is in surabaya, indonesia.
if i disable location from search settings, its worse, local scout button is missing haha.
in germany its also working. turn by turn navigation and voicemail/sms ...

lack of visual voicemail is reportedly not an OS problem.. it's an at&t network problem.
They have to have it set up on their end.. and they don't have it for any phone but the iPhone.
Can anyone suggest (if it's possible) to change a mobile network enabling a simcard/network to think it's located in another country.
I'm on holiday, but I want my 02 simcard to work (think I'm in the UK) so I can continue using my free mins to UK numbers n sms's.
I initially used 'root toolbox pro' to fool/change my network as it gave an option to connect to '02 UK', once connected the network changed to 'roaming' and the network name 'Life'. My 02 SIM is un-usable in this scenario.
I have been unable to locate what I'm looking for in google play + I have used a whole host of search names online as well.
Can anyone help, please.

Not possible as you would have to have your phone connected to the UK O2 network. Can you imagine if this was possible? I could call my family in Australia for free just by putting an Australian SIM-Card in my phone - do you really think the mobile networks would let that happen?
Not to mention the fact that even attempting to do this would be highly illegal just about anywhere in the world.
Twas a stab in the dark nevertheless.. a good idea but I understand the ramifications (legality).
My thoughts and query were that if apps such as 'root toolbox pro' and other apps can change your location for the sake of downloading 'location only' content and apps (fooling the play store), then there (in theory) could be tweaks such to enable what I described; maybe.
At least for me I have hope ) .. 1 day maybe
