Tytn vs AT&T 8525

I just purchased a HTC Tytn (unbranded). I have so many questions and can't seem to find the answers. First, does anyone know a program that will update the clock with the network without doing the At&t rom update. Second, Will it hurt to do the at&t update to my phone or will I loose the voicedial function and 2nd video cam ect. Is the ms voicedial ver 1.6 worth it. So many more I'll make another thread later. By the way thanks for the forum. You all are great and I hope to learn alot.

I am on cing/att and using an unbranded tytn... i have also flashed the official att rom on it (yes, its wm5, but i needed PTT)... anyway, smartdial is there, but you will lose video calling (which att dont support anyway) but the fron cam will still function, i used atek software's cool camera to prove the drivers were still on the phone and working.. and i dont use MS VC 1.6 so i cant answer that one...

Tytn vs 8525
Shogun, Thanks for the info. I don't need the PTT. I do like the auto update feature for the clock using the network though. So far I like the phone, (I'm just starting to get used to it. Can you remap the PTT. I will start doing a lot of international flying soon and needed the unbranded phone. Does the At&t service determine the video or can 2 people with a tytn and a 3g signal just start video calling? So many questions!

Not sure about the auto-update feature and working on other roms... but they should support it..
The PTT can be remapped, use a different rom, or search for sleuth's PTT fix.
The video calling is dependant on the dialer on the phone (in the rom, or installable otherwise), it requires a certain dpadmenu.dll in order to work, but if your ATT its not going to work anyway.. it is provider dependant.. and 3G dependant

New ROM for Mogul?

Anyoen else having problems with ROM 2.09.651.3 radio: 1.32.00 with Sprint? When I use .NET applications like ConnectWise and open the keypad, it types in symobols and is a known issue with, HTC, Sprint, ConnectWise.
I called Connectwise and they have their patch ready, but are awaiting the ROM upgrade from Sprint to test. I called Sprint and the awesome TS lady told me that you never have been able to upgrade ROM on any phone... ever... I promptly hung up on her and called HTC. They said they Sprint develops the firmware and HTC has already "given" it to them. Contacted Sprint again, and they said it was a known issue with the phoen, but have no clue when the ROM will be updated....
I know you all have better connections then I do, obviously if I am calling TS for Sprint, and was wondering if anyone knew when the enxt version of Firmware is comming out. I could care less about the GPS, I do care about EVDO Rev-A and various other fixes.
This is a huge problem... anyone else having these issues with .NET programs on their Sprint Mogul?

check out the Hard-SPL thread in this forum. then you can load an alltel rom and i can confirm that the .net 2.0 keyboard problem is fixed. Also, the radio version in that rom is 1.40. If you have any problems you can always go back to the sprint rom so give that a shot.

Have you tried the alltel rom yet? Im curious as to whats different from a sprint rom (besides the sprint junk) because I hear it has working (better) pic messaging and a few other updates compared to sprints current one...

There is a thread on ppcgeeks where they compare the two. dcd posted a pretty long write up in one of them.

I have read quite a few threads over at ppcgeeks, and it still didn't help me out. What are the downfalls of the Alltel ROM? Does it in fact work with picture/video mail, what are the downsides of the Alltel ROM? If I have a problem with the phone, how do I get support or CAN I get support with that ROM?

As far as I've read so far, people seem to like the Alltel ROM better and prefer it over the Sprint one. It is a newer version OS than the one currently on the Mogul so it's probably a little better. I've been told that MMS does work in the Alltel ROM with a reg tweak for it to work with your carrier. As far as support, what do you mean support? Do you mean from Sprint? I wouldn't take your phone in to Sprint for repair/replacement with an Alltel ROM loaded on it. I don't think that would fly too well. No worries though, if you need to get support for you phone, you can always flash back to an OEM ROM.
Hope that helps!

Any word if it fixes sprints bluetooth fiasco?

GPS on Bell HTC touch stopped working

Hello Guys,
I have a htc touch (vogue) from bell. I upgraded it with the bell rom on htc site one year ago. The GPS has worked ever since. However, it stopped working last friday. In google map, it is always "seeking for satellit (0)". I tried htc gps tool, I can see some (3~6) sat in view. I can even get some gps position data (eg. $GPGGA,120214.50,4531.116641,N,07339.266674,W,0,00,1.0,0.0,M,,,,*23) but not able to fix it. I also tried hard reset and re-installing the same rom/radio. It will not come back. Can somebody help me out?
Thanks a lot

Did you check the windows Settings to see if you're still in com4 with 4800 bauds?

Yes. It is always com4 and 4800.

Have you confirmed that location is still on?

You may want to try backing up your data and re-flashing the original Bell ROM to see if it changes/resets anything. A number of variables are possible with what you described.

I played a little bit with the registry setting. It looks like the gps location I posted above is not my location but a place about one mile from my place, most likely a location of the cell phone tower nearby. I mean that information may comes from agps. I lost the location when I changed the registry gpsmode to 1.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try to find the cd with the old bell rom which I really have no idea where it is. As a backup, is there a bell old rom I can use online? I just do not want to play around with the unlock thing.

Go to HTC's site, look up the HTC Touch and go to Support, you should find Software Updates and Bell should be listed as one. They're hosting the latest ROM, I'd suggest flashing that.

I am also with Bell and having the exact same problem since the weekend. I have been running NFSFAN's latest rom for the last few months. I figured it might be a temporary glitch on Bell's part, but please let us know if reverting back to the Bell firmware restores your GPS.

LOL...so i'm not the only one too!
I thought I screwed up my phone after flashing to android (nand) and the GPS wouldn't work, so i flashed back to nfsfan's rom. It didn't work, so I just flashed to stock...and it didn't help, hence I though I screwed up my phone gps, and came to post about this.
Little did I know....it may not actually be me...
Let us know when it starts to work...

A-GPS server from Bell appears to be down.
If you open up GPSViewer on NFSFAN's ROM after awhile it will get some satellites but not get a full lock.
I will see what sort of fix can be made for this ....

Same thing as of last couple days
Mine eventually started working after opening gps viewer from system tools and cold starting.... what a pain! also iGuidance did not pick up the GPS as before

how do you think us verizon guys feel we dont even have agps

Same here. My GPS was working on my Touch (NFSFAN) and Blackberry in St. John's, NL (Aliant), but I travelled to Ottawa on Monday and the GPS is not working on either device now.

In Quebec, takes longer to get a connection but still gets one...

just for reference, gps lock using vin's 23506 on a Bell touch works fine - less than 10 seconds.
I do wish nfsans would release a new rom for the vogue tho

looks like the agps servers are up again, getting good locks now

cant find answer.. does any ROM fix the QNC and GPS

will any rom do QNC and GPS ? i have read that its a broken DLL and others that 6.1+ will and wont support QNC or Q2C
i having a hard time finding any info relating on the roms out there/here.
i want/need a rom that will do GPS(no data or thru QNC) and QNC (real QNC not DUN or "free" and alot of minutes with bone slow net). keep the wifi and bluetooth available.
not needed but would be nice if windows was well trimmed and speedy (unless WinMo is less of a hog than normal) and replaced with like opera mini and a lite player that doesnt get chatty with the mothership. maybe a mini game emulator for fun like MESS (but good) but that maybe hard to find
i will be doing per minute on page plus and REAL data is not in the budget and i expect to use xv6800 on IM and email mostly maybe find a weather and such not exactly heavy data use. being a former crapfone customer anything will be a improvement.
thanks a heap in advance .. if anyone can confirm it working on a release ROM or suggest a ROM that might meet what i need GPS, QNC, wifi

Moved as not ROM Development.

aye but directly related to rom devolpment and its effects on phone features

But your question is not related to discussion on a specific rom. And I haven't heard of anyone using a mogul for qnc. All new rom are gps capable with a radio of 3.xxx

the 6.0 winMo works for QNC but no GPS. 6.1+ may have a problem with the QNC.
since the main reason to flash cooked ROMs is to unlock features or make REPAIRS or improvements . the main question is do any of these ROMS 6.1+ address the fixes that i want, namely GPS and QNC along with other percs like trimmed and speeded up OS.
i suspect since there was greater problem with QNC on 6.1 that it was broken by vzw to force us to pay an aditional 30$ ++ for high speed, i know right vzw wouldnt disable features to make people pay a extra monthly fee... thats why i asked in the ROM section as i wanted to know if that was addressed
as for not knowing anyone using the titan mogol 6800 for QNC lmao. if it wasnt for QNC i doubt people would buy such old phone .. a ENV or touch pro can be had for about the same $
and if i was asking about a specific ROM i would place it in the thread related to that ROM.

I haven't seen discussion on qnc. Just unlock your phone try a rom like dcd 3.3.4. If it doesn't work with qnc then go back to you present rom.

htc hd2 telstra australia

I purchased this phone on Ebay and didnt realise at the time that it came pre loaded with Telstra software which prevents me form accessing the net etc. I am with "3" and would prefer to keep the phone - can anyone help solve this issue?

your quick fix would be to Flash a new Rom

Thanks for that. Next question - is how do I do that, where do I go, do I need to do via computer/net or phone/net - never done anything like it. Cheers

Wow. Could probably do this.
This is all about getting a phone for my sister who has vey poor reception at her farm in the country but where my HD2 works great. None of her three children who all have different types of phones gets as good as reception has the HD2. She wants to buy a phone doesn't want to get it home and find the reception is poor and having wasted her money. I could sell her mine (as I quite like the look of the Desire) and try to tweek it - or she could get one of her own from ebay (item 300447152858) which has already been done. Question then is, will it have the same reception - what part of the phone tells me that sort of info.

the very first thing that you're gonna have to do is flash an older Telstra ROM after you HSPL it. then you can flash whatever ROM you want. i speak from experience. good luck!

no no no... The Telstra phone doesn't prevent you from connecting to the net, it simply doesn't have the settings to connect to 3...
Ring 3 and get all the settings and create a new connection on your HD2...

Actually, whilst you'll get your 3 sim working, you'll have problems getting any desent net connection
Advise, actually flashing HSPL & then custom rom. It all takes a bit of time reading & understanding how it all works but trust me its the best thing to do.
I had probs getting my 3 sim working properly but eversince I started using custom roms, on 1st boot the device picks up the 3 settings automatically & runs perfect

As far as reception goes, your best bet is to stick to telstra. Or 3 as a second option, which runs on the telstra network when roaming.

that's actually more because the cooked roms generally contain the.global connectionsetup program that includes settings for most carriers than the rom itself. you can find it as a cab, which should work on the stock Telstra rom.
