Hi guys i have t-mobile touch pro 2 with original rom and tmobile tp2 coming with pre installed google maps and when i check the version it was an old version and when i go to on my opera browser and type m.google.com/maps for downloading the new Google maps its giving me an and its saying on webpage (( sorry Google maps application dose not work on your Touch HD )) now i want to know are you guys have same issue ? is there anyway i can upgrade my Google map of my phone ? please guys help me out.
thank you
Yep, I also have this problem when attemptimg to update the version of google maps as well. I was under the impression that they have not created a version for the TP2 since it is so new to the US, but have no idea.
Google Maps
Which version of Google Maps are you trying to upgrade to? i just went through the IE browser and downloaded an update to Google Map to version 3.2.1 it was a version 2.2 something?
i updated to 3.2.1 no problem at all.
However, check the bing search application. I almost hate to say it, but it really is excellent and does voice recognitions as well!
I used Opera to attempt to update from 2.2 to 3.2.1. I also have a T-mobile branded TP2. Another weird things I have read is that the T-Mobile TPS is not called the Rhodium but the Tungsten. I am curious if this has something to do with it. I will attempt to update using IE instead of Opera to see if this resolves the issue.
EDIT: I just updated to version 3.2.1 using Internet Explorer instead of Opera and it worked perfectly. If Swagger did not state he used IE I would never have thought of this. Thanks!

don't pay attention to this stupid stuff. Its the Rhodium. Look on the inside of your battery compartment & it says Rhod230 or something like that.
hi, i am going to buy htc tattoo in 2 days time. before that i need to know whether i have plenty of apps alternative to windows mobile apps.
i also heard that its a qvga screen, so developers have to sign it to get it working on tattoo (240x320 qvga screen). is that true that we may expect good number of apps for this device??? by the grace of developers showing interest in developing apps & games for qvga screen(old mobile screen)... ????
will it be future proof ???? i am also not sure about the availability of upgrade to android 2.0 from 1.6. can anyone reply to these messages???
waiting for ur responses.... if i wanna install any application on htc tattoo, where do i get the apps & how do i install it???? like is it like just clicking on exe files as in windows???? or is there any special way how i should install apps & games????
i know it may sound like a noob talk. but what to do, i am totally new to this android thing..... no idea on how to get it started & know more about it, android & its different versions of OS..... kindly throw some light on where to get all information about it & its uses over windows mobile.... in simple & detailed manner.....
detailed information is highly appreciated...... thanks
I switched from a WM HTC Diamond to the cheaper HTC Tattoo and find it quicker, and with more apps!
But it might be useful for you to tell us what apps you want/use already, and we can say whether or not they are on Tattoo.
As for 2.0 who knows, talk is it should eventually get the upgrade but not exactly high priority,
Info
I have also switched from HTC Diamond to Tattoo. I know that Tattoo is cheaper but I like it more.
To install .apk you can use HTC Sync. After synchronization you can find on main screen HTC Sync :Application Installer and you can use it for install any application.
You can use ASTRO file manager to install .apk from Tattoo
There is no problem with APPS, I already have installed even AndNav2, and There is a lot of software in the market. Something that Diamond doesnt have
This phone beat the Diamond with performance, software,easy to use and price, but not with the display resolution.
how about upgrading android 1.6 to 2.1 on htc tattoo ??? any ROM available yet??? i wanna try that version of android OS on my htc tattoo.... any input about its guide would be appreciated.....
@kashish, where r u from buddy??? u just vanished after u asked me a question??? fine... i wanna know if 3G is launcehd in India, can i use it with my tattoo with firmware update??? ur reply is highly appreciated pls....
Hey guys, I need some assistance here. I bought a Tattoo and believe me I love it - even coming from higher-end Android phones, the problem is that mine is apparently a Malaysian variant and there is no ANDROID MARKET as such - only SLIDE ME. I am not sure of the difference in availability off apps between the two, but I have heard there are only 25% of the usual apps on SLIDE ME as compared to ANDROID MARKET. Anyway, my main issue here is that I cannot get any Instant Messenger apps like Agile Messenger or doc viewers like Adobe, Quickoffice or Documents To Go. Are these available (even in paid form) for the Tattoo? I love this little phone and it is super-fast - but I NEED these apps on the Tattoo. Anyone able to shed some light for me?

Right now, I think only BSNL or MTNL provides 3G service. I just activated Vodafone's EDGE service, known as Vodafone Mobile Connect, and it works just fine with my Tattoo. GPS, Twitter, Facebook updates... all work just fine. I do hope that when more operators start providing 3G service, HTC releases an update to enable 3G. I am pretty sure that it's a software limitation and not a hardware limitation.

Documents To Go is available.
Oh really? I will check that out on SlideMe and hopefully that is the case!
i wanna know how i can convert cab files to apk file.... because i can see swype application for windows mobiles being available in 4shared, but no swype apk file anywhere on the net.....
i request here, is there anyone who knows how to convert cab to apk ???? i know it may sound silly.... but i am a noob here. i also understand that it needs to be coded and all stuff.... but as i said before, i wanna know how to do it step by step..... please......
OK -Documents To Go IS indeed available for the Tattoo users out there! Looking for a good IM app next!
Meebo's a pretty good IM app. Give it a try. Available on Market.
Does anyone know where I can find the app "MP3 Trimmer", for my T-mobile HD2?
I was reading the online Hd2 user manual from HTC and it listed this App to be in the Multimedia folder.
I have since upgraded to the touch X-treme ROM, but still would like to have this app.
If not, can anyone recommend a substitute. thanks
The "MP3 Trimmer.cab" is in the link below.

Hi Guys
I bought my X10 mini pro on monday. Besides the Wifi problem, which is already known in the X10 Forums, I have a problem with the market application.
I can start the application, I can view games and applications, I can search files, but my problem is :
- Can't find all files (eg I can't find Launcherpro, which can be found with my HTC Hero)
- I can only see free apps and games. In my HTC I can choose whether I want to see paid or free. On my mini pro I can't find the option.
Am I missing something here? Does anybody have a solution for this?
Anybody with the same problem?
Thank you in advance
Hi There
there was a site posted here a while ago to download an apps store other than the marketplace...it was very good....does anyone know what it was or..of another one ...it seems when you upgrade the HTC HD2 it wipes all that stuff out!!!!
any help is appreciated
Tim
Alternative Market
Think it might have been Omarket available via FreewarePocketPC.net
Have that on my HD2 and offers some good (free) alternatives.

If you are looking for apps for Windows Mobile 6.5 you are in the wrong place. This is the WP7 forum. Look HERE instead.
