HTC P3600 GPS question

Hi, I've read that if the radio version on the P3600 aka. Trinity ends on .11, the GPS is disabled. My radio version is 1.16.00.00. Is it useable ?
If yes, how do I use it ?
PS: Oh, and while I'm at it, how do I play flash content like videos on youtube, video google etc. ?

It's the other way around. If you radio version ends in .11, then GPS is enabled.
You radio 1.16.00.00 is too old and does not have GPS.
Update to a newer version, like 1.46.0.11 or 1.46.30.11 and your GPS will work.

Oh, okay. Where do I find a newer version ? I've looked in the upgrade forum, but found nothing.

I've tried all the radio ROMs there, it says the ROM is invalid when I try to update.
Oh, nevermind that, I found a guide to fix that problem. But how to I play flash content ? I have flash player 7 installed. And can you recommend any GPS software ?

You have to install a "Hard SPL" before you can install something else as written here . I suggest you Olipro 1.20 (1.30 have some problems with eventual downgrade).
Follow this instructions before installing a new radio...
GPS software? I use Tom Tom... great piece of software...and for free there is NoniGPSPlot, which isn't a really GPS navigation software like Tom Tom, but it's nice...

Okay. I've tried to use GPS with Google Maps, but it doesn't find any satellites. However, when I use GPS Info to search to satellites, it does find some. Why is that ? It doesn't find satellites with NoniGPSPlot either.

Hi,
you have to wait some minutes for the fix the first time (3-5 min or more). Lie still (is important) in the middle of an open space like a square or somewhere else (and not at home or somewhere under a roof)... The second and successive fixes will be faster (ca: 30s-1min), but stay always still for the fix...

Help ! Three Colour Screen...

I'm out of my depth and an need of some help to get my X7500 back into working order !
I upgraded my machine to AP4, carefully following the nicely documented instructions, and it worked a treat. The new interface looked great. However, for some reason my GPS application (i-GO Europe) wouldn't work at all. After searching the threads and not finding anything there, I thought it would be best to return to my old ROM version - the official HTC Advantage WM6 Upgrade. Naively I thought that this would be just as simple as running the Advantage_HTC_WWE_2.21.405.2_1.50.00.00_Ship executable - but I was wrong ! The update failed, and now I am left with a PPC with a pretty three colour screen...
ATHE100
IPL-v1.00
ATHE100 MFG
SPL-v3.50. OliNex
Is there any way that I can recover my device from this state ?

You have spl3.5
very easy to solve
just plug your athena to the PC and install a rom for SPL3.5 , there are several good ones, since AP4 didn't work for you and I cannot remember if AP4 can be installer from boot loader, the easy thing should be install the latest Michiprima rom (SPL3.5 not 1.20)
if you wish to install a original rom in the future remember to use spl downgrader to go back to SPL1.20
As always take memory cards from the device before playing and please read

I thought I had to have an ActiveSync connection to load a new ROM onto my device. But you were right - very easy to solve.

Tried the Michy R6.0 and it does look good. Still having problems with my GPS application though, so might have to go back to the original. Will play around with this one in the meantime.
Thanks for taking the time to make your suggestion.

In regard to the GPS have you upgraded your radio version above 1.5
Radio 1.57
or
Radio 1.58

Unfortunately not !
I ended up loading AP3, and my GPS application worked on that. Now I've gone back to the official WM6 ROM. When I have some time, I might reload the AP4 ROM and try the new versions of the radio - but I need a stable device at the moment.
Thanks again

i just remembered
i just remembered you have to disable htc home in AP4 for igo to work
Just load michys large htc home cab instead

god, got to love the community spirit

Up and Running

> ROM Version: AP 4.0 Platinum
> ROM Date: 11/09/07
> Radio Version: 1.58.00.00
> Protocol Version: 32.91.70.20.20H
Just an update for those interested. I'm now running AP4 with i-GO happily running away. Not sure I needed to update the Radio version, but you were right - I had to turn off the HTC HOME in Today.
Thanks for the help from those more experienced. It was greatfully received and, although I haven't had time to really use the upgraded device in anger yet, I am currently very happy with it.
Just one last thing. Have you got a link for the said 'michys large htc home cab', as that would be the icing on the cake to have that lovely Home available.
Thanks very much !

Missing FM Radio + GSen crashing on boot

Hi friends,
I purchased an unlocked version of GSM Touch Diamond from newegg.com while I was in US. I realised later that I could not find any FM radio in it. How do I know if its just hidden (though that would be absurd) or not present at all ? How can I get it, if it can be done (and I would assume a rom update) ?
Secondly, I installed the latest version of GSen, got it to be run at startup and when I rebooted my phone, it said that GSen would not start bcos of some damn error. I had to uninstall. Any ideas how I can get around this ?
My rom version is 1.93
Thanks,
Kunal

In order to 'unlock'the FM radio you need to replace your ROM with a cooked ROM that has it built in. There is no way to enable it without doing so. Also GSen is an old program and I never had much luck with it. I would recommend Gyrator2 as it is a much more stable and gives more options for customization. Hope it helps!! Both of these answers could be found in the xda forums with just a little bit of searching...

I was able to get the FM Radio without replacing my original ROM by downloading the radio cab file from this post -

This could probably help others like me.

[Question] How to test GPS hardware...

Hi all,
suddenly my GPS is not working anymore. Can enable GPS and it says it is ok. But when i want use Google Maps, or navigation program the icon in taskbar is not there anymore.
Did try GPS Status, nothing....
Did a fresh rom install and wipe everything i can wipe.. nothing not working.
now i want to know is there a tool or adb option to test the hardware if this is still working.... (maybe GPS is broken)
Thanks

Did a RADIO rom flash with the one i already had on my HTC... and problem solved....
Still wondering how it can happen that maybe the radio rom was getting crazy...

had the same problem two days ago, same solution... same no idea for the cause

this kind of strange things was my idea only for windows... suddenly it is not working anymore.. But.. Solve this problem was mutch easier haha

This seems to happen whenever you flash a 2.1 ROM. Even going back to 1.5 doesn't fix the problem and a new radio flash is required.
Regards,
Dave

Test program
Try GPSTest from market.

Every now and then manufacturers like HTC will release an update to radio which controls your wifi, data, blutooth. If your current radio is having problems, you will need to update it. Most of the time new radio is included with the update but you can Google individual files as well, hope this explains

destinator 7 fails when sim is installed on HD2

Hi guys,
I 'm facing a very weird problem. I own a HTC HD2. I have installed Destinator 7. When the SIM card is not installed (or the SIM is physically installed but I don't provide the PIN) destinator works fine. When I enter the PIN for the SIM, so my phone connects to the mobile phone provider, Destinator software fails to start. The destinator's logo appears on the screen and HTC halts. Power-off button doesn't work and I had to press the hard reset (red pin at the back). I have ran many tests and the conclusion is always the same - Destinator halts when SIM is installed. Does anybody else had a similar behavior? Any ideas for further troubleshooting are welcome.
thanx.

I have both destinator 7 and igo8 on my hd2 and both work without any problems, do you have a branded hd2?

Hi Mathie,
thank you for your reply. My HTC is not branded or somehow locked (I hope). I 'm running the original ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL, O/S 5.2.21869, manila 2.5.19211619.0, RF 2.06.51.07. My service provider is Cosmote. I 'm not sure if this information helps, but I cannot think ANY reason why destinator hangs when the telephone SIM is installed.
Is there any possibility the GPS receiver to get a conflict with A-GPS ? I' d rather say no...
N-drive at the other hand, works fine, it's an excellent program, but I 'm get used to Destinator.

have you tried to put another sim card in your phone? wind, or vodafone? and see if the problem insists? have you tried to update quick gps? have you changed the com ports? (by default destinator 7 uses com port 4)

Hello again.
I have tried to perform the following tests.
1) I have replaced cosmote SIM with Vodafon one. I destinator has the same behavior.
2) I turned off RF radio (airplane mode). Destinator works fine but of course I cannot use HTC as a mobile phone.
3) I have formated the entire flash (CF) and create only the destinator directory. The problem persists.
4) I 'm not sure if quick GPS interacts with Destinator, but since you 've mentioned it I run quickGPS version 1.3 (built 1920.2423)
Destinator has been set up to use com4. If I don't register to a Mobile Provider (or RF is dissabled) the program runs fine, otherwise the startup logo fills 9 out of the 10 red arrows and stacks there.
thanks once more for your time.

where did you buy your phone? are you using a stock rom or a cooked one? I am using this rom here and all is well,no problems at all if the problem persists download the above rom and flash your phone with it. i'm sorry but some things get messed up if your rom is not well installed i can't help any more.

Hi again,
thanks for your answer. I 've checked the rom link you 've mentioned. I 'm already running ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL. I got the HTC from a recent offer of Vodafon. They sponsor a 450 Euros discount for the device, and HTC HD2 was in the list. I have not flashed the phone yet, since I already have the latest release. I 'll get a full backup and I 'll try to flash it, just to see if that will fix the problem. I 'll post my findings.
thanks.

Hello,
I have good news. I have re-installed the original ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL as you have suggested and Destinator 7 works FINE. I still cannot figure out what could of being wrong, with my original same version ROM, but when I re-flashed to the one downloaded from here http://www.htc.com/gr/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=863 the problem is gone.
Thanks once again for your valuable suggestions.
