hi guys,
given an HTC touch to me from work in AU. just curious on how do i identify if its a Dual / GSM or other model
just trying to find software updates for this thing (rom & other)
cheers
It's simple
HTC Touch Dual is slider-phone with Hardware keyboard
HTC Touch (GSM) build on TI Omap 850 CPU (200MHz)
HTC Touch (CDMA) build on Qualcomm MSM7200 CPU (400MHz)
cheers for that ..
as my phone slides open, i have a HTC Touch Dual is slider-phone with Hardware keyboard
and from what i have read thus far, there is no updated ROM
oh, now i feel stupid for not actually seeing what it says on the back of the phone
"TOUCH DUAL"
If the phone is through Telstra it is a Neon 200, if it is through Optus it is a Nike Dual I believe (dont quote me on the Optus thing), I have a Telstra Touch Dual (Neon 200).
Edit : Telstra has a 20 key keyboard, and optus have a 16 key keyboard.
Fickle:
Power off you device.
Press and hold "Camera" button and power on device, device will enter Bootloader. And you will see you real device name (Niki or Neon).
After that, you just flash new spl (Isn't same for Niki and Neon)
oh, how cool is that .. thanks for that
NIKI100
SPL-1.16.0000
CPLD-4
fortunately i see no topic in respect to NIKI within these forums
It's a good device
Just everybody waiting for wi-fi/gps/Video accelerator (All 3 features disabled by HTC) and got little nervous
this is my favorite phone thus far .. and yes, WiFi would be great
i did the upgraded rom / W6.1 upgrade to it via instructions from here as well.. now i am more of a happier person
well, after some time, you will create your own ROM

...or at least I hope that this is possible. I really don't want to take the old advice which says "buy a Japanese cellphone and stop worrying" as the MDA is hard to replace and after "teaching" it how to read and write Japanese there's nothing I'd really miss just keeping it. Against the myth you can get standard SIM cards in Japan, too and the only critical point would be the wireless standard used in Japan. The Phone tab say that it supports WCDMA, but I read before that this is not true for every Japanese provider. Softbank (Vodafone) is said to be compatible to the European UMTS standard. Can anybody here validate this? It would safe me a lot of money getting a decent Japanese cellphone as my "brick" still has a year or two of life in it
Yes the Universal works in Japan. At least in most places... it seems to lose the signal in the middle of a subway tunnel but gets it back quickly at the station ;P
I think our 'bricks' will be around a lot longer than that as they don't seem to be giving us a direct replacement :¬D
That's great news, but which provider do you use eksekki? Softbank? Or maybe it doesn't really matter after all? And we're not talking about the Japanese Universal here, right? And about the direct replacement: Is the 'Omni' really vaporware? I always had my hopes up for that one...
SB/Vodafone + Universal works. As for any other operator, if you can get a SIM card that fits into Universal I really don't see any reason why it wouldn't work(*). Hardware wise, I use (UK) Xda Exec brand but all the HTC Universal models are the same and there is no "Japanese universal" right (just ROM maybe)? No problems with different (English) ROM versions including WM6 - hence the "universal" =) There's just no replacement for this brick!
* edit: as long as they have a 2100 MHz WCDMA network :|
Any etra work needed?
I'm just calling back this thread from the ghosts to ask whether any extra steps are needed to use my Universal in Japan. I've seen a patch for the Hermes to use the Softbank AP, but I wonder: Shouldn't the Universal work straight out of the box if I pop in the Softbank card? Is it just because the AP password is hardcoded into the Japanese ROM? Speaking of which: What is the latest native Japanese (Softbank) WM5 ROM? The search didn't reveal anything. What kind of services will I miss if I just leave a Japanese enabled English WM5 ROM on the device? Would be great if someone could enlighten me a bit.
I got my Shift last week from Orange and did the basic set up. There was a not in the documentation to register on the HTC site and then download and run the SSP (Software Solution Package) The HTC would not allow me to register 'my' Shift as it was supplied by Orange and so I didn’t get this.
I am not sure if this is a direct problem but I can only get 800x480 Graphics, I have tried to update my driver but still no change. The resolution swap button just shows 800x480 twice with one greyed out.
Not sure if this is standard but Orange provided me with a full version of Office 2007 Pro - using an OEM Code.
Apart from not getting any 3G on my device and the fact the WM6 is not really that but a skin - something that will change very soon thanks to this forum, I am happy with it.
The thing is, did I miss something as my device was supplied by Orange that others have with this SSP download?
Finally, while I get the device from Orange as part of my contract deal, I am not sure they will be able to support it as well as direct from HTC. Will Orange make any update available to me if I can’t get them from HTC!?
Great work on this forum.
I registered my Shift on the HTC site, but there are no software packages available for download, so you are not missing anything there.
Thanks for this.
Do you have 1024 on your display options? I can only get 800x480.
Also, my Vista SP1 upgrade caused my Comms Manager button to stop working and Shift Control to fail!! Checking forum for this now...
Has anyone out there had sucess with installing Blackberry Connect on the US version of the HTC Touch Dual and operating as designed? I had blackberry connect working on my two HTC Touch's but need to have it on the HTC Touch dual since this is my new primary business phone. Can anyone lend some direction on the situation?
Regards,
Jay
bb version
I am trying to get to work with the neon200, which it seem like the same model as the U.S version. What version of bb connect have you try? With the previous HTC touch that you got it to work, was it flash with custom ROM or was it original ROM?

Does it have to be WM6.1? What Rom are you running. I´ve made a custom rom for the Neon, you can try that. I dont have a blackberry account so i really cant try.
I´m trying to port to wm6.1 and i´ve asked if someone would be kind enough to dump a rom of a US Touch Dual but so far no one has been kind enough to do so.

My original HTC Touch was equipped with the orginal ROM and I used the 4.0..97 BB connect. It worked on both of my touch phones but this touch dual is different. I wouldn't mind using another ROM but I do not want to loose my radio version because it is configured for 850 which I need here in the states. My windows mobile is 6.1. I really like this phone but I need BB connect to be operational on the unit otherwise I cannot be efficient with my business.
Below are my device specs:
ROM Version: 2.21.422.04
ROM Date: 05/06/08
Radio Version 1.65.20.19
Protocol: 25.86.40.04w
I couldn't get it to work with the stock Rom on the Touch Dual I bought at Best Buy. I don't know why it works with some phones like the Tilt but not others.
I was able to install it but when I tried to get BB Connect Active Sync to configure my Enterprise server config I got the PIN 0 error.
I remember wasting so much time with either the Wizard or another phone last year and just don't have the time to research further.
Same here. Have had it working on another Touch, as well as other WinMo phones, but don't want to spend a ton of time again to get this working. Why must RIM be such idiots and make it so hard?! Create one client, limit the capability so a RIM hardware device is always better somehow[like 10 email accounts in BIS, versus only 3 on the WinMo client], but don't limit the devices that can use a BBC client! It makes no sense really...
Hi,
I'm just wondering where you bought your vogue ? I live in Germany and I've never heard something like a htc vogue. There isn't one in ebay.de..
All I know is that there is a HTC Touch. But nothing else ?
Does it have another Name in Germany ?
Could the German Vogue also boot linux ?
HTC released the Touch, which is the official name, but was released in both CDMA and GSM models.
Vogue: CDMA
Elf: GSM
okay then, but is it possible to start linux like on the vogue, just on the touch ?
I really like the touch, maybe I'll get one..
It might work, not sure, check through the Linux thread.
been searching for answers whether the bell touch dual can use the bell touch vogue roms?
Currently I have the bell touch and have been flashing my touch with various available roms.
Can we use the same bell vogue roms for the touch dual?
I had a Touch Dual, and tried flashing the OEM HTC Touch GPS ROM, and it didn't work. The ROM upgrade utility said that my device was incompatable. For all intents and purposes, they're the same phone, save for the keypad. But I guess the ROM is different enough to negate being able to cross-flash with the regular Touch. For this reason (and the cheaper data package), I exchanged my Dual for a Touch, and I hardly miss the keypad. Although I did prefer the dark grey/black colour scheme on the Dual.
Thanks MerkurMan....
I guess that it is it in a nutshell
1. no roms availability since most roms are for the touch vogue
2. bell mobility changes your $7 data plan to the $30 if you switch...
not worth the switch for just the keyboard......

use that area of site to get roms for the touch dual aka nike.
There is a reason each phone has its own section, roms are made for each phone. Touch Dual even though it appears the same the software that WE use on the Vogue wont work on it. Very similar options are available to you though so its not a big issue.
