I have a question to all HD2 TMOUS owners. Does this device have digital compass? Does it work properly with the Google Maps application?
The reason why I am asking is because it wasn't mentioned in the specs of this phone on the official HTC website. However it was mentioned in the specs of the Europe version of this device.

It don't remember if it is in the stock ROM (the app that is), but it is in the one custom ROM that I use (NRG ROMs). So, the ability is there even if the app isn't.
It works well.
works well

glad to hear that!
thank you

Please, my friend, help us on gettting this to work. How can we have the integration between Digital Compass and Google Maps? What should we do?
Thank you.
[EDIT]
Hey, I found this cab and it works on my Tmobile HD2. Just to be sure, I also intalled the newest version of Google Maps. Good luck!

5MB is a huge cab! Amiright? What exactly does the compass do with google maps that google maps can't do without it?

I thinking (hoping) that what it does is provide accurate orientation information when there's little or no movement for gmaps to interpolate heading.
EDIT: also, the cab he has attached above is for the full compass app, not the tweak to make it work with gmaps

Here you go.
I have purchased the htc hd2 tmobile us in april. I have tried to run the digital compass but I have never had a success in using the app. I always get stock at the magnetic interference screen. I've tried every figure eight style you can imagine but it never works.
I recently noticed that is a big problem for me because I'm starting to use the gps feature on the phone.
Could someone help me on how to fix it ?
Thanks in advanced.
(i've already searched google and tried figure 8 vertically and it still doesn't work)

I'm a long-time fan of NavNGo's iGo navigation solution, and since yesterday also a happy owner of an X1. However, these two are currently not on speaking terms with each other. Installation seems to work fine, but clicking the application icon results in, well, nothing.
Searching the net in general and this forum in particular has shown me that this has been a problem with a number of HTC devices. I have tried a couple of the proposed solutions for some of them, but none have worked so far. Has anyone managed to get iGo 8 (or, for that matter, 2006 - I have both) running on the X1 and, if so, how? Any help would be appreciated.
did you update to the latest version with the contentmanager? also try to disable agps on your x1 and try again, but what also can happen is that it dont likes the WVGA Resolution for that i dont have an solution.
regards charon

Using latest version. I read in other forums about disabling agps, but saw other posts claiming that was not necessary with the latest version. Either way, if I'd want to try it, how do I disable agps?
I think what you have to do is find a skins that is wvga compatible for it. I've been looking all over the net to find one, but I cant. I'm sure this is the problem.

I've seen this site before, but when you look at the included resolutions in the folders they only have 400x240.
Download the skin with 400x240 resolution and modify the sys.txt to include the following lines
[interface]
resolution_dir="400_240"
vga=1

well.. Did it work?
I'm also a fan of iGO8 and I'm getting my X1 tomorrow.
So I really hope it works ok.
one thing you could try is to add the sys.txt lines without using the skin. Does the original skin resize if you do that?

Oh sorry for the mix up, I've basically been preparing all my software that I was using on my omnia to use on my X1 that I will get in a few days, So I won't be able to test this yet, but I believe that the skin was the only think that would've been a problem on the x1, but now it's solved. If it doesn't work even with the skin, I have tomtom7 that I know works on the x1 (according to other owners). But I can't wait to have mine!!!

Hi to everybody,
I thought about using the Garmin, but if the Igo could be used on the X1 it would be better still.
Do you have novelty?
Thanks

Anyone know if the TTN7.910.9185.cab will work on out Titans? I'm a little leery about installing it as I've got the prior version working well and don't want to bork anything by trying the install.
Grabbed the file from here:
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13032
Remember, this file is legit as provided in ROM with the TP but posting / talking about maps or voices is warez so isn't kosher!
Thanks in advance if anyone is willing to give it a go!
This version is made for another device and tells you so when trying to install on a Mogul. prior tt7 install otherwise intact.
Thanks for trying... Oh well. I wanted to upgrade my maps by BUYING (not cracking) the newest ones but on some other forums they mentioned a problem with the build I'm using (using 7.450 (9029) build with 720.1803 USA and Canada maps) not allowing the latest maps to be used.
If anyone knows for sure how to purchase the latest maps for this build (like what TomTom Home to use and what maps to purchace) I'd greatly appreciate it.

here is the link you need to buy the maps to run on this tt7 cab
ps....that cab is for the touch diamond.
http://www.tomtom.com/products/maps/select.php?D=1038&Language=1&P=5703
Thanks as well Liamhere. Unfortunately I need the USA and Canada maps and the link only give UK / Europe / Asia maps.
I have TT Home 1.5 installed and it does give me an option of purchasing the latest maps for the USA. I'm a bit afraid of committing the $70 on purchasing the map as one or two threads talk about needing to upgrade to the latest TT home (2.5 I think) as when I install that version, it doesn't find my Titan.
Does anyone know if the 1.5 version of TT Home will install the latest USA and Canada maps to the Titan if I purchase them?
works for me
7.910 runs fine on my mogul - am using the USA_CANADA 815.2022 map with it.
I know it was developed for the Diamond so my cab version may have been modified to work on non-Diamond. I don't use TTS but the voice does prompt me at turns.

...so where can we find the latest TTN7 cab for Titan?

Great news, Muledeer, can you post a link to the 7.910 cab and if not point us to where you got it? Oh, Happy New Year!
I own the older TT5 maps. Anyone know if the newer interface works with those old maps?

From what I understand, no. Only Navigator 7 and 8 maps will work with the Diamond cab for the mogul.

Update: Found the cab (google is your friend), installed, ran fine, but TomTom Home 2.5 still can't see my XV6800 meaning I can't legally buy new maps. I even tried TT Home 1.5 and while it could see my poi's it couldn't see my maps or my device (but it did tell me I had a Titan attached, how odd). So......
Unless someone knows how to get TomTom Home 2.5 to see our Moguls, this is a fools errand if you want to stay legal.
/rant
If TomTom wants to stop rampant piracy, they should release Navigator 7/8 for PPC w/o crippling TT Home by locking out all but a few HTC devices!
Oh, please don't ask where I got the cab or files as it will break the TOS of this forum and ultimate goal was to stay legal!
I have TOMTOM 6 and 7 for my unlocked tilt but can't get either one to work on my Tmobile US version HD2... Very sad since we have the huge screen and I really don't want to use the TELNAV that came on it. Anyone have any luck with this by chance?

Check the HD2 apps section. There is a working TomTom version for HD2 there.
Actually, here is the link.

Hi Tomtom 7 works great on HD2.The only problem is u have to buy maps from tomtom and u cannot use the downloaded maps as it does not recognize them in any way.tomtom will allow you to download one city map for free.
One more thing .Install tomtom 7_915.9196 version only.
If you try the other versions it will knock off your blue tooth.its really amazing.
i got garmin Xt to work somehow.I jumbled up different versions and finally its working and i linked it to navipanel. with small glitch.when i click the phone now in navipanel the app freezes.trying to figure out why?
best of luck
i use igo primo,and works fine,also.

Yes that version works fine .. You can add it to the whitelist for the gsensor and that also works well ...
Also on the forum there is a patch that makes it work with the navipanel, if I cannot find the thread, or you can't I think I still have the patch ... Don't want to post it and insult the original poster till other options are tried ...
Does the new 4.1 of googlemap support the compass? I just found out that googlemaps supports the HD2 digital compass(I have the usa t-mobile HD2) but I updated to 4.1 (version with voice lookup) already and I tried rotating the HD2, but the arrow still points in one direction no matter which way I turn the HD2. I tried disabling GPS in googlemaps and still didn't work. I tried manually setting gps to com4,57600, and still it won't give true facing.
*bump* nobody yet?
where did u get the google map 4.1 from ?

I downloaded it with Opera.
I can't get compass input yet.
It gives an error when I try to show the position of GPS photos.
It does install its cache to SD if it's installed there.
you can download the GPSMod Driver, it lets you use the compass with any application
Hi All
Was wondering, is there any GPS application, apart from Google Navigation, that uses 3D maps without a live connection to the internet? At the moment I am using Co-Pilot live, however I would love to have a 3D map navigator on my HTC.
Anyone knows of anything? I know Aura will maybe launch in the future for Android, but until then?
Cheers
IGO, Motonav.
thanks, is it a free application?

Ah ok I don't mind as long as I can see 3D navigation
Do you have a website since I only found direct links to downloads

Thanks for the link. However it says that the HTC desire is not compatable. Do you have to download anything extra?
no, I dont have it. Just read somethere that Igo now supports 480x800. Link was first from the google.
there was thread about igo 480x800 in forum.
