None of the big and reputable online dealers have currently any Trinity's on stock.
My question: once they replenish their stock (at around beginning of July) will these units be different with regards to the following:
1. improved paint
2. GPS enabled by HTC
Not sure if anyone here would be able to acquire such knowledge but please let me know.
Thanks!
Even now the HTC P3600 selling on ebay are GPS enabled with the most updated HTC ROM

Any news about the peeling paint?
i just received (another) Trinity and it came with the GPS ROM already installed and properly configured to use COM9 and 115K Baud Rate. It also included an HTC branded CD that included TomTom 6.03 and the GPS ROMs for WWE and other languages. Since I've only had the new Trinity for 3 days, I can't (yet) coment on the paint issue.

Wow, that's great that Tomtom 6.03 is included
Would you mind sharing the CD with us (Bit Torrent maybe??)
TT6 is free in the HTC web, but it's an evaluation software. That cd must contain an evaluation version, i think.
I believe the softare on the CD is the same as their site. You enter your IMEI or Serial # to activate your "trial" copy. You get 1 free city map download then pay for any future downloads.
As far as the paint issue - I sent mine back for repair. It peeled worse than it did before they "fixed" it. There is no evidence that they have fixed the problem. They should just ship the grey bezel that is on the white one.
I replaced my old black one with a white one after it was run over by a car. It's actually pretty cool but the black looked better.

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
What you want to buy is one of these. Now my JASJAR runs TOMTOM while sitting in my Brodit charging nicely with no worry of Bluetooth GPS running out of power. MINT

That is so sweet......
Dang, just bought the BT-338! :roll:
Looks good however does not support the Universal or wm 5 !!!!!

Am I being dim or wouldn't this sit at the bottom of the device when using the exec in portrait mode? I'm assuming that the Brodit holder can cater for this?
Yes it would sit at the bottom. The Brodit has no problem with this.
Can anyone confirm that this works on the exec and wm5 as neither are listed as supported/compatable.
If you look here: http://www.usglobalsat.com/item.asp?itemid=17&catid you will find you can download the NEW driver with WM5 support.
Take a look at the picture. Sweet! I know the GPS isn't plugged in, but it soon will be.
Looks good..
They were quick with the new driver!!
Let us know how it works with the Exec as my money is burning a hole in my pocket!
what about haicom-405 BT?
Alanplum - I have just brought a SD-502 to go with my O2-Exec - can you tell me what settings you used in GPS Info to get it working...or if you did anything else because i am struggling!
Thanks!
GAAAAAAHHH! Just received my SD-502 today and it does NOT work with the JASJAR. It is a driver problem. Lets hope they bring out a new one soon. It works with my PDA2k.
Received this from US Globalsat:
In reply to your original inquiry... We do have a plan to have sd-502 support PDAs manufactured by HTC( High Tech Corp.)In which, i-Mate Jasjar is part of.
Unfortunately, we do not produce the Sd-502 drivers. These drivers are developed by a third party software company. In result, we can't control the development schedule. Therefore, its difficult to predict driver releases
anyone got navngo to work on the wizard ?
I had the std sd version. copied it to minisd and used a hack I found (ahem!) to get by the security encoding.
It installs now and loads up, but after staying on the menu screen for a few seconds it crashes out !!!
Any use this, and is it a WM5 or a Wizard issue ?
rgds
i think the problem is that the NAV N GO doesnt know what MINI-SD card is.
since this NAVNGO Software workds great on the Jasjar.
Nadav.
I don't think the minisd card is anything to do with it. navngo told me themselves that it will work fine on minisd and that they will transfer it for 60 nis. I am just worried that there is something wrong with the wizard. however its good to know that it is working ok on your jasjar, obviously wm5 is not a problem.
Where did you purchase this from? I can only find Israeli sites with NavnGo. I found references that NavnGo is actually iGo (http://www.i-go.com) but there is no information of where this software is available.
It looks pretty good though.

Nadav,
You say Nav N Go works perfect on JasJar. Which GPS receiver are you using ? I have the one from TOMTOM SIRF III and am not able to make a connection to the GPS receiver..

navngo is a pretty cool gps nav system specialising in multilingual implementations. it has all the latest stuff like 3d, night view, etc.
Due to its roots it is currently only targeted at the following countries:
1. Hungary
2. Israel
3. Romania
4. Slovenia
I believe the team are currently working on a pan-european version to compete with tom tom
In terms of the questions above. I have always found the navngo team very helpful. If you email them they will take 3-4 days to reply but will normally always do so.
rgds
colonel, where did you purchase your copy from? I can't find it for sale anywhere.
I purchased it from a bug retail store in Israel. The central european version can be purchased in computer retail stores. Some details are here:

Hi there.
I am wanting to sell my XDAIIi, complete with TomTom Navigator 5 and my TomTom MKII SIRFIII Bluetooth GPS Receiver.
I am looking for £250 for the lot.
The XDAIIi is in mint condition. No scratches either on the case or the screen. Comes with all the bits. I.e. box, manual, cradle, charger, cables, battery ect. Also a aluminium hard case with slots for spare SD/MMC Cards. As I said, it's in perfect condition plainly because it's been in the metal case all it's life. I have hardly ever used it for it's PDA functions, hence this is why i am selling it. I have upgraded it's ROM to the latest version from the o2 website.
Another thing to mention, it is unlocked using the natty tool from this website.
Also, the TomTom Navigator 5 comes with all the discs that I bought from TomTom.com I have only registered TomTom on the XDAIIi that I am selling so it will work fine. Comes complete with all the discs for europe mapping + the application disc, manual, registration card ect.
The TomTom MKII SIRFIII Bluetooth GPS Reciever comes complete with box and all the chargers and cables.
For £250, I think it's a resonable price for something which is basically new.
If they have any questions or would like to see some pictures of any of the items.
Hope someone is interested. I would prefer to only sell it to UK People due to the high shipping costs. Unless you are willing to be a little extra to cover the costs?
Warmest Regards,
Chris
Hi everyone, just to let you know I sold the XDAIIi Tuesday morning.
Sorry I forgot to post a reply in this topic.
Cheers,
Chris
I'm confused, does the P3600 have a built in gps receiver?
I've done a search and it seems some do and some don't (does it require a rom upgrade to enable?).
The orange M700 has screen shots on some sites with nav software running but there is no mention of gps in the specs (I'm assuming the M700 is a re-badged P3600).
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
All HTC Trinities have GPS chip inside.... ROM updates are available to enable the GPS chip. These includes the official Orange and Dopod Roms or cooked ones

Thanks - another phone to add to my shortlist along with the p3300, eten x500 and g500 (looking to get another phone when my contract expires - currently using my xda2 as I've smashed the screen on my Mio a701)
I've just got a white m700, and in the box comes a leaflet invitation to try the Orange sat-nav free for 7 days, and the instruction book mentions GPS too.
My only problem is that I only had a quick look this morning before leaving for work. It should be charged and ready to rock and roll when I get home later
