i used both n95 and dopod 900.i sell my n95.the price keep dropping as ppl realize that its a suck phone.

Changing an Uni for N95?
It is like changing a Machine Gun for a Pistol when you are in the war zone.
Or changing a BMW for a Korean Car.

couldn't say it better myself.
youy are so right!
do you realy need a powerfull camera on your phone?
do you realy use the camera to its full potential?
personally i never needed to use the phone camera.
plus, the connection speed with the satelites through the built-in GPS of N95 is realy slow. nokia is actually prepearing to lunch an Firmware upgrade that will help to reduce the 90seconds latency of the GPS.
there is an article about this on pocketpcthoughts.com or engadgetmobile.com (don't remind very well)
plus, the programs for S60 series are very limited.
would you realy give up your touch screen?

Release the beta ROM please !!

We all know that the shift project is a bit delayed
Could one of you who have the beta/development ROM please release it, to the community so that those of us who want to cook something can try and see if we can get something out of it. (maby a briked device )

You can use the rom from your device, it will be a good base for a rom. Beta rom only add gps drivers but remove stability from the same base.

sorry thaihugo... but what do you want to say exactly with this... what's these problems? ...and gps drivers provided with beta rom work with both windows mobile and vista? because there are many gps navigation software for tablet pc that works with vista... so we can delete SD card driver problem for the moment... (and i/we can finally use a PC navigator, for windows vista.. )

GPS drivers are also a top priority for me, and that’s one of the main reasons why I would like it!!
And I also hope the shift project have made some small progress with other things that might be of use.

Let's be clear:
HTC release a rom with gps drivers during product development. I think this is the beta ROM. It has many other problem but it has GPS
HTC release final ROM without GPS because it think GPS is not to be added.
Somebody must take the final rom, and add gps drivers from beta rom or from another rom in it.
Nobody actually is doing this. Cmonex will do this, but it seems to take some time.
If you want, you can do it yourself using your own Rom dumped from your shift, and add some gps drivers files.
If somebody want's to do this, I'll be happy to provide any files or reg regarding gps from the rom. Just give me precise name and key.

I believe the whole point of us donating enough money to purchase the 2 units was so that we wouldn't have to do it ourselves.

let us cook
maybe she can't release the beta rom because she need the agreement of htc.
plus htc plan to provide a gps rom update, I suppose they don't want this project on internet.
finaly mains goal of this project could be the sd card, bluetooth wvga
anyway she made the olio sspl userfriendly and we can cook the final snapvue rom. this is already a great achievement !!!

I agree with the main goals above, but that is just me being selfish (I have no use for GPS - though I will no doubt "have" one if it is available - much to my wife's annoyance). I just really really want voice capability. I can not even record a voice note as the mic does not seem to work. Oh well, I do like everything else about the machine. I suppose I can't have my cake and eat it too.

and.... what would it be ???

do you honestly believe that htc is trying to stop cmonex from releasing a rom version? shouldn't they tried this when the spl was released? I don't think htc is giving some real sh.t about what's being done down here.
shoudn't microsoft contact the god damned crackers that make cracked versions of windows vista and contribute to millions of $$ lost. Well most probably they don't. By the present time they should have found out that it's useless.
the rom development is simply delayed. For what reason we don't know. But it isn't the alien invaders, the ninja worriors send by htc to kill cmonex or some major plot in the grand scheme of things. It's just delayed. Maybe they want to add more than only gps activation.

anyway .... we'd rather you steel/hack a htc phone then use those goddamned simbian devices )

Good diversion from the wait, whatz plan B?
I'm loving this, at least some discussion on the ROM release is better than weeks of no news. Still anxious to know about the plan B though. In case nothing really comes up.

I think that Plan B is to sell the crippled shift, ... anyway... I'm thinking about this... it isn't possible to use drivers from another HTC smartphone that use the same CPU, and that use a clean copy of Windows mobile with all hardware unlocked, and make a beta test cooked rom with those drivers for testing purpose..

we just need to know the progress and whats stopping those roms, is it money or is it time or what? coz we are very anxious about the whole thing

what about 6.1??
beta rom is buggy and slow , a good start could be winmo 6.1 in order to mount the 3d driver of the qualcom msn 7200. the actual 5.2.1620 kernel is too slow on the shift. snapvue would be more pleasent to use with the last kernel.
it would be great to make the gps drivers not mandatory, it is a great handicap for people not using it. qualcomm gps ship drain a lot of battery enven if they are not used!!

If you want, you can do it yourself using your own Rom dumped from your shift, and add some gps drivers files.

hem... about the files and reg of gps from the rom... I'm interested, I want to do some "experiments" on my shift...

Give me the name of the files and registry export you want, and I'll zip them here.

How should we know the keys and files we need if we don't know exactly what the rom contains
That is exactly why I would like to look at the rom so i can find out what improvements that are needed to get it up and running, or intergate it to a new rom

TomTom or other Nav Programs on G1

I am thinking of Getting or the HTC dream (G1phone) or the HTC Touch Pro.
This is cause i spend a lout of time outside of buildings (traveling).
Is it Possible to install TomTom Nav on the G1? or is there a good Nav Program that can be installed on it (that covers Europe, mainley Holland where I live)?
Hope to get good news:
Steven

Sorry, I misread before voiting. I'd love to see a TomTom app but right now there's no real option for navigation. AndNav is stuck in europe and 1Click does not re-reoute real time.

I have bad GPS reception where I am (Locale Hates it unfortunately =[)
I hope there's a voice based GPS system available for the G1 soon, it'd be brilliant for biking around the UK

Maybe someone can be nice enough to like build one that works well (i mean someone like the companies self), cause you never know, Android can be the future

Non Of the above - I pick Copilot

I'm hoping Garmin will come out with mobile xt for android.

Actually i am hoping that Any good Nav program can be brought out for the G1
cause i travel a lot for my sport and i am not good in remembering the roads..... especially from the Netherlands to ........... well anywhere in Europe

I just contacted TomTom.... so we will see what they say

Sent a message to Garmin as well (Magellan stinks). So far, just got automated responses saying that they will reply within 2 business days.

so IF they keep their word we will know in about 2 days
i mean 2 working days..... who knows when they are working

Garmin is coming out with their own phone sometime in the future... I know they have a lot of employees but i don't see it coming soon... I don't want to be a debbie downer, but don't think they will... I know someone on androidcommunity.com had talked to them, but can't remember what they said and can't find it. Sorry, but google should give us a good one.

I have read from the android community, that Garmin will be installed on android with their own device at the half of this year (About July, August). I hope Garmin will be avalible and for G1 too.

I am pretty sure Garmin is using their own OS but could be wrong. If they are using Android as their platform, it WILL work on the G1 then.

Ok, i have a friend of mine who has Garmin at his WM6.1, which means that Garmin can be installed not just in their own OS. Anyway, here is the link what i have read a few days ago at phandroid.com

It comes with a trial version of Copilot. However, you can install any navigator software you want

GPS has nothing to do with internet, signal is completely free and no internet is required, just the navigator software.

We can say the radio is the part of the rom that manages all the wireless connections (phone, bluetooth, wifi, gps...). The newer the version, the better it works (supposely)

No prob

HD mini has a rather high rate of defective units. HTC is usually willing to replace the unit immediately under the warranty period. So that's fine.
But without warranty, it's a big risk to buy HD mini. You cannot find out all the problems in one sitting. Not even in one whole day. You need at least a few days, say, one week, with intensive testing, to bring out the major problems if they exist.

u are really the expert thanks for helping me

[Q] Gingerbread GPS issues... why?

Hi Guys,
Firstly let me make it clear, I am no dev, just a 'ROM dabbler' if you will. I have minor programming experience but a good understanding of what goes into custom ROM development and more than appreciate the efforts by devs that allow me to demonstrate why my HD2 is (in the words of Mr Sheen) BI-WINNING.
I am using HyperDroid-CM7-v2.0.1-GregariousGreyhound ROM and love it, apart from the GPS issue. I rarely use GPS but knowing my phone isn't working perfectly like it did with Froyo, WM6.5 and WP7 (well almost) gets to me.
1.) In a nutshell... Why is Cyanogen7 released with no working GPS when people seemingly have fixes for it and previous versions of Cyanogen had GPS?
2.) cyanogenmod.com is so clean and official like I feel it should be the most stable Gingerbread ROM available but this GPS issue has put doubts in my head. Are the ROM releases with GPS fixes one step ahead?
Please unleash your knowledge and opinions on me.....
Cheers

like flame10 said GPS Libraries http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100114&page=41

yeah but...
Thanks for the link guys, I now have GPS working perfectly!
My question still stands though. Why do good ROMS like Cyanogen7 not get shipped with the GPS fix?

hahaha i dont know, gps working fine with me some times slow, but still working ... we hope they make the perfect rom some day haha

It's not a CM7 issue, it's the lack of agps support that was the problem. Tytung GPS Libraries obviously correct that issue and there you have working GPS

Ok, bare with me.... so the GPS libs are part of the radio and not the rom so we are talking about modding the radio. Is that correct?
