Dear all,
Sorry for my stupidness but could you please tell me if there is possible to activate fm and usb host on trinity.
Thanks in advance.
For the last time! (cause you should know if you'd searched the forums a bit): there IS NO FM-HARDWARE on board the Trinity...
Same for the USB host feature...
But all the rest is nice however...
Get Resco Radio for your radio needs, there's enough bandwith on this device to suit your radio needs through the internet!
Many thanks for the answer, but it's a pity...
It would be the perfect device...
I thought I read that the Trinity released in Hong Kong had the FM radio? Anyway, to my mind, the perfect HTC device would be the Trinity, exactly the same as it is now, but add:
FM radio
VGA
520mHz Bulverde CPU
1800mAh battery
Perfection IMHO.

Hi guys!
Just learned of this forum, it might be my last chance.
I bought the GlobalSat SD-501 GPS secure digital receiver in Hong Kong. It was a big gamble and it turned out to a headache.
After installing the thing you are supposed to be able to see which comport it has received using the nifty utility "GPSInfo" from GlobalSat.
It is supposed to identify itself as COMX: MANF-0501-CARDID or something similar.
... but after loading the program I see the following:
COM1: Serial
COM2: Serial_Cmd
COM3: IrCOMM
COM4: BTIBserial
COM5: BTOBserial
COM9: Serial_Data
That is, nothing that resembles anything what I want. I tried to force select one of the following ports but of course that didn't work. There are also 3 different drivers to test, the one supplied on the cd and two on the developers site, found here:
http://www.globalsat.com.tw/english/download.php?level_id=3
I have tried all three drivers with no effect. I have also tried soft resetting after install and even a hard reset to see if that would solve any issues.Along with the drivers there is also a program called COMKiller that disables comports (after surfing found out that most IPAQ's tie up all comports leaving nothing for the GPS), I tried this as well with no success.
The LED on the GPS is supposed to blink when it has your location fixed, the device actually does that after a while so it seems to have a working hardware anyway - it just won't talk to the phone.
From looking at other forums it seems as this device work for people running the S2020 (the Himalaya) so maybe there is hope.
In summary this is what I have tried:
1. Tried all three drivers available from maker.
2. Soft resetting.
3. Hard resetting.
4. Upgraded ROM to the version described below.
5. Disabled IR (incoming beam).
This is what I have:
Qtek S100
ROM: 1.06.00 WWE
ROM date 01/06/05
Radio version: 1.05.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.06.115 WWE
Model NO.: PM10A
Maybe there is something in the driver that is trying to access the S100 in the wrong way, maybe it is trying to force select a busy comport. I don't know. Please you kind devs and others, can you maybe take a look at this?
best regards
Kristian
I querried this forum about this about a month ago and had no luck.
I have an o2 mini. When i plug the sd501 into the mini The light doesnt come on. My friend has JAM. When I plug it into the jam the light comes on but still i have not been able to get it to work,
If you find a solution please post
Could any of you smart devs please take a look at this, I would be eternally grateful!

Hi Kris,
did you already try on the forums you can find at www.pocketgps.co.uk ???
IMHO that is the best-gps-experts website; if nobody can help you there, you can put your receiver in the recycle bin
Sorry I cannot help you some more
Hi,
yes I have posted in that forum too - awaiting response. But I am sure this is solvable, it's not rocket science. Well, for me it might be but I know there are some seriously smart people here eager to give support
/Kris
being a bit a GPS expert myself as well as an S100 owner I have not found a solution so far to get this combo to work, which I guess is not that bad at the end of the day considering you lose the SD slot for storage unlike with say a Bluetooth GPS. I will certainly revisit when they send me the SD-502 with its 512mb RAM, small helix antenna and SIRFIII chipset for testing in a few weeks ;-)
GpsPassion -> Do you have some kind of relation with GlobalSat? If so, have you had any comments from them if they will try to make this combo to work or not?
I mean, I like the device and it would suit my needs quite well - and I bought mine so I must decide if I should sell it or if there might bew a solution sometime. Do you have any contacts?`
best regards
Kristian
Hello Sd 501 "victims",
searching through the net I ended up at this thread. I also would like to run my sd-501 with my magigian. Is there really no solution to that problem?
Stefan
hi
the drivers arent installed properly you should have on there manufactors card under the com ports. reinstall the drivers andf it will work are you using the disk that came with it as the drivers you down load dont seem to work.
kevin
Nice to see an old thread coming back to life. I for one never managed to get the 501 to work on an S100 and the 502 is following the same fate, looks like some SDIO issues at HTC...http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/news.asp?id=410
just signed up today and this is my first post! anyway i am having the same problem. i have been trying to get the globalsat sd-502 to talk to my Qtek s110 without any joy depsite expansys saying it is compatible.
i have tried the drivers supplied and those on the globalsat website. it cannot see any com ports other than those mentioned earlier in this thread.
i do know from a local guy who tried to help me out that he managed to get it working with his xdaii which was not comaptible but he failed to help me out on with the qtek. i think this is one that globalsat will need to look at.
its a shame because it locks on to satellites just as quick as my globalsat bt-338 but wont suck the battery dry as quickly the bluetooth does. i will be interested to here if someone comes up with a solution.

Sorry to hear about your problems - but, what software are you trying? A good freebie is VisualGPS CE, and does work with the SD-501 (i use said GPS reciever with my Blue Angel).
But unfortunatly, I think this problem is purely a HTC problem, not global sat. Remember, they made thier device compatible to the BSquare SDIO Now protocalls - if HTC decides not to follow that , then it is not GS's fault (though, it is odd that they would support the SDIO on devices like the II, IIs, III, but not on other devices..)
Divine im using tom tom 5 but as far as gps programs ive used both gpsinfo and winfast as someone on the pocketgps site suggested. yeh it probably is something that htc need to look at.
thanks to a bit of browsing on here ive downloaded a trial verison of phone alarm which allows me to use a single press of tghe tom tom icon to activate the bluetooth and tom tom in one go. exiting tom tom switches the bluetooth off and the phone so i can power the device down. this will keep me happy till someone comes up with a solution.i am going to return the sd-502 to expansys and ask them to remove the qteks110 compatiblity reference on their site

Not me
Long time ago the Trinity was announced in the HTC roadmap as a "have it all device". Many of us were disappointed seeing the final specs. Now it seems we get back bit by bit all missing features.
Wonder how long it wil take before the first "have it all ROM" is available. The Trinity becomes a really interesting device and will be certainly quite a challenge for many programmers in this forum.
If the radio would also have RDS (like the Artemis has) then this would open the door to navigating with TMC assistance
Let's see how this Tiny Trinity develops...
Can anyone confirm this regarding the devices for the European market? Visible hardware, antennas etc?
i've got my trinity for 3 days ago but i've not FM radio inside. i suppose chinese rom can activate that feature but i'm not sur.
(désolé pour mon anglais : je suis français)
This all is GREAT to hear. I'm really looking forward to all this, but the big question is: HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE?
When does the GPS get activated?
When does the FM-radio get activated?
Will it ever use it's video processor?
(none the less, I think i'm going to buy it today...)
Sorry guys...I have the Trinity with me and I am 100% sure It is 99.99% same as the Hermes, No Radio and GPS at all..If you are looking for GPS and Radio ..maybe go for the P3300, Orbit ^^

How do you know? Did you disassemble both devices and compare the circuit boards?
Strange,
I also have attend in the Dopod D810 product launch. I just check again in the document and leaflet. Have never mention have FM or Radio function. I wonder why the china site have mention have FM radio.
And for GPS, I think is possible. we'll see

I happened to notice on O2s website:
O2 XDA Orbit
The latest ultra thin XDA device from O2 with Microsoft Windows Mobile, integrated GPS (Sat Nav) and FM Radio.
The Orbit is O2's version of the P3300, aka the HTC Artemis. Note the 200MHz OMAP CPU.
is the Dopod D810 buyable yet? Cuz I would like to have the FM-Radio on my P3600
In Thailand, we will get the Dopod 810
but is seem that they do not communicate anything about FM Radio at all..
Is this true that Trinity (Dopod P810) having or will have ..FM-Radio?
This is getting interesting,..
with GPS (seem to be confirmed) and FM radio..??

The only info I have on the FM radio is in the first post of this threat. You could try and send an email to Dopod and see what they say about it...
Hi,
I've got a simple question, I know it's true that in the D810 trinity version, FM Radio works. So, By flashing a D810 rom (Os and Radio roms) on another trinity PDA, why the FM radio wont work ?
The hardware isn't the same (ie chipsets inside) ???
Thanx for your answers.
This is the first I've heard about the Trinity having FM Radio..
Trinity does not have FM radio... none of the available versions.
the Trinity definately does not have an FM radio hidden in there.
Although now that there are a few PDA's and phones out there with one, I think its a great addition.
Looking forward to see where PDA's are going in the next year or so. wouldnt it be great if we got a strong GPS receiver, really decent camera and a digital or RDS radio built in.
What ever else could they fit in there??
fm radio
there is no fm radio on any of htc p3600 or dopod d810
however you can downlaod the resco radio and listen to all those radio stations through internet
Does anyone know a good free non internet using fm radio cab file for the athena running on windows mobile 6.1?
the custom rom i got doesnt have it in it and i dont want standard rom that sux
please help me peeps
thanks
really interesting question,I am wondering whats is the answer
p.s. athena does not have fm radio,in hardware or software
i had a rom on it before with a diamond like rom with fm radio and that worked with the headset from the diamond
Hey,
im new to all the Smartphone world. I just got a cheap used HTC Touch actually with Vodafone branding. Its the Elfin version as i found out.
My problem is, i am using this nice smartphone as a navagation tool with an external gps reciever. The only problem is, i cant use TMC with it.
I have found a software to add TMC to almost all smartphones, but its required to have a radio antenna. When i read well, this phone has no radio?
The strange part is, i have read some forum posts somewhere and ppl say you can actually use radio on this phone with the original headset S200.
There is not much information out there about this.
So i ask you guys, do you have any idea how i can add this funktion to my phone ?
Thx
Search is your friend

The Elf does not have fm radio, never has, never will. It is not capable as it does not have the hardware; however, if you want to try it anyway - Try the FM Radio cab for the touch diamond.
