DCD's Alltel Rom flash.
PPC6800 on ALltell network. Eveything seems fine except the DATA (#777) won't connect; no internet etc. Any suggestions?

Do a search for IOTA.cab and install it.

What happens when you run IOTA? (settings>phone>services>internet>Get Settings)

Get settings has the following choices
Location -> ON
Network Service -> Standard (Home Only is the other choice; deselected)
TTY -> Off
Time Sync -> Auto
Don't see a place to "run IOTA" from there....don't know where else to look.
I'll find & run the IOTA.cab & report back
Hope this works because I like the ROM Especially the conversational Text messaging. Very nice.
My primary motivation, however, is to find a ROM that actually runs BlueTooth w/out crashing the phone like Alltel's Stock ROM does. Jury's still out....gonna test.
Thx

BTW, I saw something that refered to "extended ROM". Whats that? And I didn't find IOTA.CAB here....gonna search PPCGeeks if their site ever gets smooth.

IOTA Cab
If you don't already have the IOTA cab check in your extended rom. Mine is called IOTA_1128.cab. Good luck

The IOTA cab just made the phone virtually unuseable. Wouldn't Activesync, hung up randomly on calls, and didn't solve the DATA issue.
I noticed the NID/SID setting different w/ the custom ROM than with the SSstock ROM, but I'd not written it down.....so....
back to the Stock ROM, everything works fine. Interestingly, the Username/Password in the Mobile Modem setup for the Alltell data are blank.
I'm gonna reload the custom ROM & Radio 3.27 next week & put the SID/NID in manually that exists in the stock setup & see if that solves the issue.
Sadly, however, the Bluetooth issue was not solved in the custom ROM. It worked once, then I shut the BT headset off. When I restarted it I had to soft reset to get a hook up, and I had no BT activation of MS Voice command. Very sad. I'm still interested in custom roms that acivate the GPS though, so its worth futzing around with

Any Luck With Dcd Roms?

I have installed and uninstalled one of the current dcd roms. the processes all went smoothly. I went back to stock because of poor internet performance. I have an xv6800 with verizon. I've looked around in the forums and haven't seen too much on the topic

hmmm...how much better is the stock rom on the internet? I have a DCD 2.3.2 kitchen rom and then finally gave in and got internet so i dont know anything different.

my internet would frequently discontent. I was also having trouble with downloads

I've been running dcd 2.3.2 kitchen since it came out. My internet connection works fine. I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah. I think it may have something to do with where you use your phone.
I mean in your area, you may have newer or older cell towers. They may be running different hardware or software.
Either way, my xv6800 works great with dcd's roms.

I had the 1.6.1 & I am
now running his 1.7.0
rom now & have no
problems on the net.
Everything works fine.

Radio Problems...
I actually have the same problem and I switched my phone 2 times for new ones, so I know it is not the hardware. The internet connections are just not reliable. For pulling websites and the occasional download yes but if you depend on a constant connection to communicate with dispatch servers it just doesnt perform that great.
I have to use the ESC client from Coastal Computer (doubt anyone knows what it is) for my work and it always times out communicating with the server. However if I put the stock radio, it always works. So I guess I cant have GPS on the device if I want for work.

The internet problems that are reported by some users are due to the 3.27 radio software/firmware on the GPS-enabled (3.16 based) ROMs -- not with the DCDs OS ROM per se. All 3.16 based ROMs are using the 3.27 radio... Hopefully, the new stock Sprint ROM supposedly coming out tomorrow will have new/better radio software, ao DCD can lift it for his work...
I'm using the current DCD 2.3.2 ROM/3.27 radio and the internet isn't that bad, but certainly not as good as my previous 2.16 ROM/1.40 radio combination on my Sprint Mogul...

Need help with GPS for wm 6.1

I had previously had GPS unlocked on my Alltel 6800 with one of the cooked wm6.1s. Long story... phone stolen. just got new phone. I downloaded the "official" 6.1 from htc (i wanted to keep bubble breaker this time) but now i dont know how to unlock the gps (I tried to use Google Maps and "my location" and "google gps" were not working).
Any ideas on what to do? Either reply or email me [email protected]
thanks.

Yeah i did the same, tryed to revert back to 3.35 rom when everything was working and couln't, but the only gps thats working now is my sprint navigation, but i hate it, the goole maps was alot better, now im stuck with this crappy program till i figure a way to get a tom tom or garmin xt working on my mogul

try this
i believe these files are missing from alltel rom, i have packed these in a cab for you.

i installed it on storage card and no luck.
does it need to be installed on the device itself?

Will this work on sprints titan cuz the gps on google maps or windows live doesnt work anymore since i went and updated to wm 6.1?

anybody gonna let me noe?

these files should help alltel rom only becuase that rom has these driver files missing.
you have to provide little more info. such as radio version, rom version and how do you know your gps is not working etc etc.

My rom is 3.56 and radio is 3.42, with windows mobile 6.1, the gps was working when i had 3.35, then I updated to 3.56 and google maps gps locater stopped working, itll just seek a gps satallite forever and never pick up anything, while before it would pick it up and keep pace with me where ever i drove so i dunno wat the heck this new update was for man, this sucks

Then go back to the old one and you should have the same results.

Google Maps GSM-Based My Location on HTC Universal

Hi all, has anyone been able to run the google maps "my location" service on a HTC Universal using the GSM triangulation? If it works for you, please post the windows-mobile version, country and provider. It's not working for me (WM 6.1, O2 Germany, tried with UMTS and GSM.) WLAN-based locator is working. Thx for feedback!

GSM based locator shouldn't work on Uni because of the ril driver it has now.
If someone managed to patch it...

my location with google maps works for me (gsm, umts)
my location with the hero ui doesnt work (gsm, umts)
o2 germany
htc touch diamond 2
no difference between all roms i've tried with and without hero ui

I think you are in the wrong forum, my friend. Are we talking about Universal (which is the name of the device, not the general forum for all devices) here??? With Universal it doesn't work. My location works for me on my Elf, but we are not talking about Elf, right?

It did work for me sometimes... But all i get now is your current location is temporarily unavailable....( using version 3.2.1).. If i get it working again i'll post some screenshots...

I don't think the radio gives back transmitter location (codes), so it is impossible to work on Uni. That is unless it's the ril.dll (maybe a particular ROM was able to extract the information from the radio?).
I've only ever got it working with my external GPS.

ok got it working currently i'm using tomals 8.9 rom and google map 3.2.1 and i can get my location...
see attached screenshots ...

google maps on orange
rajivshahi, how did you manage that? doesn't work for me
Perhaps it's the operator that does it.
I'm with Orange, and if I go to Orange Local it tells me where I am... (see piccy1)
Pity Google Maps doesn't do the same for me.
raji.. as you have it working, can I ask request:
can you run the fieldtest program (attached) and see what you get for NCell Info on GSM? (see piccy2)

Not working for me. The same Tomal 8.9 (128Mb) and Google Maps version.

Just tested now again and it still works..
When using wifi it shows my location but while using activesync it doesn't mostly i use wifi here.......
@ jonny
nothing in ncell info see folllowing pic..

Thanks Raji.., ok how does Google Maps operate then? I thought they used Cell ID. It can't be as complex as knowing your router location (have you tried over GPRS?). The only other thing is that they are in cahoots with the operator (oh, I just scared myself, that sounds too much like Matrix!)

ok,that's scary. it works
I'm using xplode's wm6.5 ROM, connected to my router by WiFi, using GoogleMaps (same v. as you)... and it's nearly pinpointed my location!
however, it doesn't work over GPRS, so back to square 1, I'm sorry.

Well i always thought it was issue with the rom, but today when i tried it without wifi it didn't work so i tried again on wifi and it did work.. i repeated the process several times to come to conclusion that google map uses the router to get the location... that's pretty strange... well hope for some words from the masters about this new finding.....

Enabling GPS on US Cellular Question

Hi Everyone...
I got my son a US Cellular PPC6800 (Titan)... It has on it now :
Rom Version 2.17.573.0
Rom Date 7/1/08
Radio 1.69.00
Hardware Version 0003
PRI 1.31_027
After some reading here, it seems I need a diffrent radio to get the GPS to work... my issue is I spent all day yesterday setting up the phone for my son, just how he would like it... I would hate to have to re-do it all just ot enable the GPS... Could I just update the radio and keep the rest just how it is? or wouldnt; that work... I don;t even need the phone itself to work as a phone as I will be using it as a skype phone... I just need the WiFi, GPS, and bluetooth... Thank you in advance for you advice

No your rom or os is not compatible with a gps radio. You would have to install a custom rom and then a compatible gps radio to enable it. You will lose all settings and programs when do this change.

You'll have to flash a new radio and then a new rom, the one you currently have will have to be overwritten.

That guide should help you out. I have some more info here that you may find useful as well.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your advice everyone... I got a new radio (3.35.04) and rom (RMcarrierlessTitanV1.1Light).. I was most like the standard 6.1 stockI was used to and had known good software for.. After doing LOTS of reading here, there, and everywhere today I was able to get the GPS to work as well with TomTom... Learning qPST was nice though.. I was easily able to change the banner to say "Skype" instead of US Cellular,Sprint, or any other carrier.. I thought that would be a nice touch as this will only be used as a Skype phone anyways...
The only other issue I am having, is when justhte phone is turned off it is reporting it isin airplane mode in certian programs (TomTom for example) and I have to turn on the phones radio to get it to work... Any suggestions? I am not putting it in aitplane mode.. and still have WiFi on at that point.. (although turning hte phone off sometimes effects that too it seems).. I am trying to get it to work well with the phone off to save battery as WiFi will be on most of the time it is in use... Thanks in advance..
