GPS working on XV6700 - XV6700, PPC-6700 ROM Development

If anybody is still interested in GPS for this model, here is how to get it to work. Register at Skyhook and download their cab for winmo. Then download gpsviewer. I am using Pocketnavigator free version for mapping. I start gpsviewer first till I get position, then start the mapping program. I use this with no connection as the phone is not enabled (free). If any interest I will give more detail.
Since this is a fairly simple process; here is a quick tutorial;
1) Download the Skyhook cab file. I had difficulty finding it on their site but if you Google Skyhookvgpsppc50 you will find it
2) Download GpsViewer.PPC300_2577 cab.
3) I am not sure you need this but it cannot hurt to have it. Unhide external GPS settings.
HKLM/CONTROLPANEL/GPS SETTINGS
add Group and give value of 2(dec)
this will add the GPS icon in your phone settings.
Here are the screenshots of settings that work for me. I could not get a screenshot of Mapfactor Nav so I used GoogleMaps as an example. I encourage others to experiment with the settings to see what else might work. Once again my phone is not activated but as long as wifi is turned on the GPS works(doesn't need to be connected however). To get this working initially
though you do need to have a wifi connection at least for the registration screen in WPS and to get your first several fixes. You may have to register at Skyhook to start this process I did not show my username but I used the one I registered with as a developer. Good luck I hope this works for others.

Has anyone tried this? If so please tell me if it worked for you. I would really like to see some feedback before I spend time posting screenshots.

How to works?
Hi! Could you explain this procedure?? I´m so surprise about this great news...

I will try to upload detailed instructions for this post this weekend with screenshots.

How to access college wifi with user name & password??

Ok so they give us a password to connect to the wifi, then from there if you are on a laptop then browser automatically opens and you input a user name and password...this then connects you. I'm not too sure how to do this on my Jasjar, do i manually configure? How? Where do i input username and password because the browser doesnt automatically open for me. We are trying to connect using phones, iphones, and my ppc. How do I connect??
Thanks for reading.
Do you know what kind of authentication used in your school? It's 802.1x? Do you have to install a certificate? Try to find out more information...
Open a good browser(say opera) and try opening any site on it. This is most likely the case. You'll be auto-directed to the page where you can input the user-id and password
I have similar problem.
The VPN solution that is used needs users to authenticate via xauth, which is not supported by WM.
Does anyone have a good proposal for a client to use?
If there's no free solution I don't (really) care about the costs.

@ loiz
Thanks for the links
I tried to find some proper software myself, but apparently i did something really wrong!
The decription of the NCP Tool looks promising, as it should include everything I need. I'll give it a try (could take some days) and tell whether I've been lucky or not...
I downloaded Opera so i will try with that tomorrow...I cant understand German so i cant understand that link and cant download. Will see with Opera anyway, thanks.

You don't need to
First, on the german version of the NCP homepage youget to the downloads by clicking Downloads, then choosing Software, then the Client, that's also named english
If you can't figure out how to set up he account needed in german, just click on the little American flag in the upper right of the screen
It's present on the homepage and the downloads page.
The second link is just an instruction anyway, except for the link to the SecureW2 Client. You should find the (english) homepage of that via google. You don't need to bother downloading that if the authentication method isn't 802.11.
Thanks mate, but I tried with Opera and it works!!! Now to find a way to access msn!!

You can allways use online live messenger http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc/
Been looking for a way to get it to work at college as well.
Have got no idea what do cause we use certificates here, have one on my ppc and installed it (on sd as well as the device).
Got practically everything filled out except when selecting a certificate i get the message that there is none.
Been trying to consult the It-services desk but they have no experience whit this.
Do you have any idea which steps i should take?
Thanks in advance
Online messengers are blocked also, they use some burst filtering software or something, will check to see if i can find an unblocked site. Would be great if there was a way to allow everything. Thanks lads.

Google Maps error

I searched to see if anyone posted and they didnt.
I go to www.google.com/gmm and it says "sorry, google maps does not work on your htc touchdual".....
Anyway to get google maps on my touch pro?????
Came pre-installed on mine. Are you sure you don't already have it?

DAMN! Im 110% its not on mine
I dont have any GPS software on my device, that sucks!
Anyway I can get a copy from your device?????
THANKS!
I have a better idea. Why don't you check out this thread chock-full-o applications for the Diamond. Scroll down and you'll find Google Maps and you may find other things that interest you as well. As the Diamond is very similar to the Touch Pro it should work. I got my iGo nav software up and running by reading a thread posted in the Diamond forum. So if you don't find what you're looking for over here, try over there. You may also want to try Windows Live Search. I believe the url is wls.live.com which you can download directly via your s...l...o...w... EDGE connection. Let us know how it works out.

thank you!!!!
i got it on my device but it will not show my location, it says looking for satelite.
tnx again
Also, if you're trying to download from www.google.com/gmm, make sure you use pocket IE. if you go to that website using opera, it identifies itself as a desktop browser and hence you get the error.

If you haven't already then try doing this:
1) Run QuickGPS and download latest satellite data.
2) In Google Maps select Menu->Use GPS.
Be patient the first time, it will take longer than usual to acquire a signal the first time you use it. QuickGPS should help to acquire a signal faster. If you are having trouble then make sure you are outside or close to a window with a direct view of the sky to test it, but it will probably work in the interior of your home too.
Ok so I used Internet Explorer as suggested on the board and was able to load it with no problem.
Thanks again and hope this post helps someone else.

WM6.5 and Avaya as dialler

Hi,
I am new on this portal but I read a lot in the last days and was very surprised of the solutions you find and also the apps you made working. Great
I know its not looking very good to ask as newbie for help but I hope you can help me... I am searching for more than a week for a solution and tried even to edit the registry but unfortunately I am not good enough to find the solution
So what do I want do to?
I have a HD2 (branding free) and I want to install Avaya One-X mobile.
Well the installation was succesfull and I also get it running inside my company and also the private modus. But since I have it installed I hear no ringtone. It always plays an "ding" and thats all.
So right now I always have to keep my eyes on my mobile to see if someone calls me or not.
And the second problem is that I also get no caller picture displayed..
But as soon as I deinstall the one-x everything is working (phone rings and caller picture is displayed)????
So you are my last hope to find a solution. Please can you help me?
If you need any further infos please let me know
Thanks
Frank
oh... the one-x mobile software is free for download on the avaya webiste
I can post you the link later (I am not allowed to post it right now...)
i'm getting mad with it...
Now I am a step further.. I now that the software deactivates the onboard call handler. I think it is only a registry setting to reenable it. after done the caller name+picture should be displayed and even the call-slider should be back.
Does someone have an idea where I can find the entry?
well now I know exactly the differents between the registry with one-x installed vs without. But I have no experiences in reading/interpreting my results.
Is a Dword something which can be used as name? or is it only a value?
Does someone has a guide for beginners please?
Did you contact Avaya support for assistance?
I have recently taken over all our telecoms at the office (avaya system)
Saw your post on One-x and been reading a little on it. Where did you get the install files from and did you get it working in the end?
I have a support contact with a company called central so I can contact them for free advice if needed
is this the version you are using?
http://support.avaya.com/css/appman...loads/P0438/5.2.x/C201012083328498084#summary
I'll take a look at what the installer does as I've not heard of it before but it's not letting me register to download it .
yep that's the software I am trying to download
Could not create an account either
I have emailed my support company and they will be sending the software to me on a disc.
thanks for your responses.
I installed the version for pocketpc WM6 (not the UC version) and yes it is working fine
But:
The problem I have is that since I have it installed it
- my mobile does not play a ringtone any more
- "slide to answer" and "show caller name+picture" is away
When I get the disc tomorrow ill post up the results.
This app will be very helpful if i get it working
As for the no ringtone issue I am not sure.
I would attach it... but i have no permissions...
@ fards: there are two versions. one for "Windows mobile 5"and the other one for "Windows mobile pocket pc" (here you can find it for WM6). the first is a UC versions. For this you need an internet connection and a uc-server running in your company. the other one is for normal mobile use. it calls via the phone connection the server and then your call is managed by the server.
support.avaya.com/css/appmanager/public/support/Downloads/P0483/C20090710162819340875658#files
you can find it here for free and you need no login
I do not see the HD2 listed as compatible device.
Did you get it working or still having problems?
How does the Avaya interface on the mobile phone look like?
Is it replacing the WM dialer completly or only while Avaya software is running in the background?
I have just installed it onto my HD2. The install hung at the end for about 20 mins. Reset device and the software has replaced my dialer. Appears to be working but im reading on how to configure the ini file now.
Tested on personal mode and call connected fine.
it replaces the dialer completly...
for the ini file you need the settings of your ACM. here you have to enter different extensions for each function...
you also has to to enter your mobile number in the ACM. Because your are identified via your number.
But can you test if you get a ringtone for incoming calls? thats my problem. I get no
Just to draw a conclusion to this This topic. This solution does not work correctly on HD2. Unless someone has managed to do this and has not shared?
sry... I was offline for a while... Does somesone find the solution?
No i gave up in the end..... bloody crap

Sky remote record for hd2

I have just stumbled across this The .cab file linked from the Digital Spy forum is attached. It is an app to access Sky Remote Record from a WM device.
I have been waiting for something like this for a looooooooong time.
I have checked it out and it works and is easy to use. The only problem I have at the moment is that it does not appear to close properly... had to use task manager to close it.
does it have a monthly fee?

Hi there all, first time post so be kind. Anyway, I tried to install this CAB but I get an error saying 'installation failed'. If I go to p.wecomm.com/sky directly from my phone I can download the relevant file (SkyMobile-WM6_PPCP-1.2.0.0) but all it does is open up an appearance settings page for 'Today'. Strange.
Ive had no problems downloading and installing Co0kie's Home Tab Editor, BsB Tweaks, Microsoft .NET etc. so I don't think it's me (but I could be wrong).
Has anyone had this problem and resolved it, or can think of something else I can try?

I downloaded from the site and installed without a problem. The only problem i have is that it does not close. If i use task manager to close it ,it does not work and i have to reinstall it to get it to work. The only way i can get it to work consistantly it to reset the device after i have set the recording.
It seems pretty unstable. I will keep an eye on any updates.
That's strange. I've now managed to install it ok thanks to a reply on another thread i'd started. I agree that it doesn't close but it definately gets closed via task manager and I don't have to reinstall it. Try the CAB file provided as a reply to my other post in the new thread (search for my posts - I only have three - and you'll see the thread). That CAB seemed to work fine.
Hi, I've used this for a while too and also have to open my task manager to ensure it is closed properly.
Also, I find it very difficult to type on the small keyboard when logging in....but maybe that's just my fat fingers
Hi all,
Try installing the attached cab.
It has the same name as the cab in post 1 but it's the one i use and i have no problems with it at all. Everything works as it should and it closes properly.
Hope it helps.
Great App... works very well... Now only if SKY would officially launch it

Me too. I select ok on the "data total exit screen" and it drops me back to the main menu of the app. Have to press home then task manager to close it. If I then re-load the app I cannot load details of a TV programme. Thus making the app unuseable :0(

it lets you view sky channels and record sky programs remotely. you have to set up your sky account first (username/password) but its free and it works!

Doesn't work for all of us. See the "exit" problems above.
Working... mostly...
hi,
I've been using this for quite some time. It works, in the sense that I can start it, browse sky listings, get prog info and set recordings (most important features!). It is not working, or a bit poor, in the following areas... won't close (though mine does close in task manager and no restart issues), keyboard in waaaayyy too small and really hard to use, scrolling though channels is slow and tedious and there are occasional crashes.
However, it lets me record when I'm away, so I'm grateful... needs some work though to be a complete package.
im going to try this, but need to know how i can make it work for Foxtel (Australian rebranded Sky+)
HTC touch 2
I to am having problems with this app. When first installed and first time use it works ok but does fail to close. When you use again it fails to connect when you press record and times out. But only on certain pages the news channels always seems to work but all channels and the movies only work sometimes. I have tried a power off and back on but seems to make no difference. I do notice that the pass word box is emty after you have saved it so could this be a problem?
Since I flashed my ROM to Energy's I have not been able to sign into this app with my Sky ID - I get a 'failed to connect to authentication service' error. Has anyone else encountered this? Could it be due to my flashed ROM?

In other words,
Try the TAEL topic
[ROM][PRO|FUZE][23138|21914][17SEP10] TAEL ROM v5.23138/21914 • FAST|STABLE|TWEAKED
Since 30 august there has been some new updates of the TAEL rom. But it can never hurt to ask your question there.
worth a shot
try downloading quickgps update from wi-fi as opposed to using your carriers data service. sounds improbable but has had a noticeable impact on my phones ability to obtain a GPS lock.
I had exactly the same problem as OP and HTC GPS Test was the only thing needed.
It is very important to select "Clear memory" and run the test before choosing Cold start mode under the clear sky. Give it some time to find all the satellites and get Mode2 lock.
