I have never used WiFiFoFum, but I do use WMWIFIRouter all of the time. Works as promised and the Mogul even has decent transmitting range.
I have done speed tests with WMWIFIRouter and I still get 1.5mbps on speedtest.net
cool thanks! I am checking it out now. I am also checking out internet sharing, never figured out how it works but got it to work pretty easy
1.) soft reset
2.) goto internet sharing
3.) choose usb for pc connect (but dont plug in the usb cable yet) and choose data network connect
4.) pressed connect
5.) pluged in usb cable (status is now connected, the soft reset was the key)
gonna test out internet connection now.
but when u do this do u get hit with those god-awful charges from your service provider? i tried something like this once and sprint tried their hardest to hit me with all types of data charges and i have a data plan already!!!
I am having issues trying to use the WiFi router application. It's starts up but I can't seem to find it when I search for network on my laptop. I have a tilt and it works just fine from that.
Any one else have any idea's?
Thanks for the help
Well the new WMWifirouters suck, but here is the one i use, just make sure you have your titans wifi on when trying to connect using wmwifirouter

I'm having a similar problem, trying to connect either my PSP or my laptop (with 802.11b only). After starting up WMWFR, it says connected and ready, but neither of my devices can find it (this is with the version of the app that was just posted last week.
The newest and latest versions of WMWifirouter actually work a billion times better than that old ass version, Also give some love to the dev by buying the app he has put hundreds of thousands of hours into the app

apparently the PSP won't even connect with the commercial version, so never mind
plus, I think you might be exaggerating the "hundreds of thousands of hours" just a bit
WmWifiRouter
I've used WmWifiRouter for 8 months now, since close to its conception, and I can say without a doubt that I wouldn't try anything else. The new v1.2 will be coming out soon with the new core, which does not use the Internet Connection Sharing software with WM and makes it much faster and more stable. This is currently in beta testing, and will be released as a public beta in the next few weeks.
I have NEVER paid a tethering charge, and I can say it's well worth the small amount of money to get on board with this one.
WmWifiRouter works well, but it drains the battery very very.. fast via the WIFI...

o rly?
Even if he only put 100,000 hours into it, this would mean he had a Windows Mobile 6 device with Wi-Fi back in 1997 and started work on it back then.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good app, and he DID put a lot of effort into it, but there is no need to worship him
oh right might not be hundreds of thousands of hours but I know he's put a ****load of time into the app. I'm not workshiping him but I know how hard he's worked to put out a good product
Newer version
I think the newer version of WMWiFiRouter permanently kills WiFi on my Titan. I've had to replace my Mogul twice, and it's worked before installing the proggy, never after. Even after a hard reset, or new ROM.
Hi. i was wondering if anyone can help me out. i have the Spectec Mini SD WiFi card (SDW822 Mini SD, 802.11b standard). The card worked real well and now 6months later, it doesn't work. This is what i mean. anyone who uses it sees a green blinking light on its antenna and the device "sees" a hotspot and asks if i want to connect to it. Now, the light only blinks as if it is finding the correct setting, but doesn't pick up on a WiFi signal at all. Even sitting at my university in a "hotspot" in my student center, the card doesn't seem to be picking up the signal at all even though the appears the card is operational (the blinking green light).
i am not sure what to make of it, like if there is something busted inside the card or not, or is it my actual device (even though it worked for 6 months, why it doesn't work not i have no clue). i tried installing the drivers again, and even installing the latest driver provided by Spectec. nothing works though nor was their support much help (they just answered to uninstall and then reinstall the drivers but duh, i already knew that lol). can anyone let me know a solution like if i need to buy a new one or not? i miss having the WiFi on my ppc/phone and i don't have an unlimited data plan, plus even if i did, GPRS is painfully slow.
if this helps, my phone is an E-TEN G500 running Windows Mobile 5.0 (AKU 1.1.4). i hope i can hear a response soon. i may just end up having to buy a new one but i would like to hear anyone's thoughts. i hope you guys can help me!
by the way, i don't think it is my SD card port b/c i can still use any other card that i put in the slot with no problems like my GPS and the card i use to store my music and such.
Does anyone have anything to say? i tried their support again and still told me the same thing from their automated e-mail then send out and its really frustrating. even more so, no one has been able to say anything about to respond to this thread. please let me know anything that could lead me to a solution. i dont want ot have to buy another card to see if it works or not.
I guess no one wants to help me i guess these forums are useless if no one wants to help one another. i was hoping this would be a simple solution. i am gonna have to buy another card and see if it is my original card or if it is my device. i even upgraded the OS to AKU 2.2 but still nothing with my original card.
thanks everyone for your help
I have been reading around and talking to friends about the Touch phone, and could use a little more assistance on enabling the GPS in my phone. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Robbie
have you upgraded to windows mobile 6.1??
if so, then go to start > settings > Phone > Services tab > make sure location setting is highlighted, click get settings >then make sure it is set to on.
that will make sure that applications are allowed to use your gps signal.
then once you have done that,
open your gps, if you use google maps you have to click menu, use gps.
I have upgraded to the official verizion 6.1 rom. My question is, does gps use data? Is the gps a real gps that connects to satellites or is it some pseudo gps that approximates my location by triangulating distances between my phone and the nearest couple cell towers? I don't have a data plan and don't want an unpleasant suprise on my next bill.

Yes, the Vogue has a real GPS antena. If you read through the forums you'll find verizon users have to do a bit of tweaking to get it working.
It can be confusing, because our phones also support "agps". This stands for assisted gps. AGPS uses cell phone tower triangulation to get a position.
GPS has inherent errors, in the aviation world there is a system called diffrential GPS. This uses a ground based system to correct the time diffrential error in the sattelites for greater accuracy. Without dgps you cannot use the gps inputs for a precision approach, only enroute, terminal and overlay. We use other systems such as vor/dme. This uses ground based "towers" to get a position using radial and distance information. This is very similiar to what agps does.
to answer the question does it use data?
the answer is yes.
it has to have a data connection in order to receive the gps data.
atleast thats my understanding, as a data connection does start and maintain during my gps sessions.

No it shouldn't. The data connection you're seeing is probably initiated by the application that needs the internet for transferring maps like Google maps or MS Live search.
If you load up any independent GPS app that uses locally stored maps like TomTom or Garmin, then it shouldn't initiate any data connections.
thanks method man for correcting me.
i didn't think about it that way. haha.
Also a Newbie
I was wondering whether there was an app that I would need to install on my xv6900 to get the GPS working or do i need an external device like the TomTom Go series to get the GPS up and running.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thankyou

The reason it dont work is because GPS tries to connect one way, i belive its phone as modem. and when you browse the internet, it tries to connect as Sprint PCS.
now i might be wrong in that, but just lisen.
in order to fix it you need to do a registry change. get a free program to edit the registry. like PHM RegEdit.
got it downloaded? installed? good. lets move on.
open it up
click on My Device
+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
+Comm
+ConnMgr
+Providers
+{7C4B7A38-somethingsomethingsomething}
+Phone as Modem.
go into that setting, make sure that the key AlwaysOn is set to 0
THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART
go down a setting from phone as modem to
+SprintPCS
the key inside doesnt have to be set to Always On, but you can enable it if you want.
now close it up. count to 20 and do a restart on the phone
next time you try to run any GPS app it should work. use GoogleMaps though.
also while you are in here you can go into ConnectionSharing. a key above ConnMgr. and make it so you can use your phone as a modem for your laptop. the option was removed in the 6.1 update. let me know if you wish to know how.
6.1 ROM? and GPS

I called Verizon regarding the WM 6.1 upgrade and they told me to go to Microsoft's website and download it. Microsoft says go to the carrier's website. I'm confused. I'm using a Verizon XV6900 running Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Are we talking the same thing? Is there a newer version (6.1) than 6 Professional? If so, where can I get it?
Also, I've read about enabling the internal GPS antenna, which appeals to me, but there is so much info with different instructions, talking about Sprint and Alltel, radios, etc. Is there a good (read: easy) set of instructions for this? Also, a list of the possible problems encountered (function, data loss, etc.)? I don't want to be a pain in the rear, but this is not my specialty. But I could really use the GPS capability with my work (real estate) w/o needing an exterior unit. I currently use a DeLorme bluetooth unit, but its a pain.
Thanks in advance, Jim.

Here is the link to the offical WM6.1 ROM
http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=95&cid=1&mid=302&carrier=Verizon Wireless
1. sync your phone with Outlook. You will loose everything on your phone when you flash the new ROM. Files on your memory card will be safe.
2. Unlock your phone with 2.31 & refer to the links below.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
http://www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html
3. connect your phone to your computer via activesync & run the ROM file you download. Simply follow the instructions.
4. Your phone will hard reset once the flash is complete. You will have to align the screen & such. The very last screen will ask you to tap the screen to begin using your device. You have to be ready to soft reset your phone as soon as you tap the screen. DO NOT LET THE CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN OR YOU WILL BE SCREWED FOR SURE.
5.Settings--->Phone--->Services Tab select location settings & then hit the get settings button. Make sure Location On is selected.
6. Download the Holus GPS viewer & install.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=434408&highlight=holux+gps+viewer
post #3
7. Once the GPS viewer open hit the scan button. This will tell you what port & at what baud you GPS is at. It should be com 4 @ 4800.
8. Hit the open GPS button & hopefully you will get a lock.
phone keeps scanning for satellites
Is this normal? The GPS program ran and continues to search for satellites. Its alomst like it can't find any. I ran it just the way you listed. Anything else I can try?
If you are using Holux GPS viewer and you see red dots then be happy your GPS is working. Usually first lock takes longer. try it on an open place hopefully you will get a lock. The red dots you see on Holux are the satellites that your GPS is seeing, Once it gets a lock you will see blue dots and that's a fix. If it continues to flash red dots, I would try closing and opening port once, that wud restart the GPS.
Once you get a lock, use any 3rd party software like Garmin Mobile XT or Tomtom Navigator 7 if you don't have a data plan. If you have a dataplan then you can use goolemaps too.
Hope it helps..

No that isn't true at all,
I have both Tomtom and Igo with map files on the sd card. The phone needs the internet to get the agps information otherwise the GPS programs can't get a lock. It doesn't use much adata at all as I was roaming in the states (from canada) for around 10 days , I used the gps everyday and was only charged under $3 for the whole 10 days.

Here is the update you are looking for, now.... For the love of the lord, DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATION RUN!!!
Update your device as directed in the file, when the device updates and restarts, you will see a message that says something like "Running Customization in... 3,2,1 Seconds" or something like that, when you see that, stick the stylus in the hole at the bottom of the device and you will avoid a big pain in the @ss.
EDIT: Oops, i'm too late LOL, didn't refresh thepage while searching the update.
Can't get a lock
I just followed all the steps and installed GPS viewer and could not get a lock. I used the Verizon MR1 rom. Since that did not work I tried installing Valhalla GPS Server to see if that would help. No luck. Any Ideas?

I have data blocked on my phone and the GPS worked fine up until about a month ago. Whatever Verizon did blocked my GPS and I have not been able to get is working since. I can still run GPS viewer and see satellites but I can't get a fix on them.
I have everything working now. Thanks.
Just so I have it straight...
When I unlock the phone with 2.31, do I let customizations run? The ppcgeeks thread doesn't specify, but the atwistedweb thread says let them run. What does 2.31 do? Just unlock the phone so I can install the next ROM? Also, the ppc post talks about disabling USB while the other does not. Is there a preference?
When I install the new WM6.1 ROM, the atwistedweb post says to install it from the SD card, while the this thread says via USB. Once again, any preference?
I understand not to let the customizations run for this ROM and by putting the stylus in the bottom hole it resets the machine. After it comes up again, will the phone be (should be) upgraded and ready to use?
Lastly, if my phone gets "bricked" (I guess that means it turns into a battery powered paperweight), you guy can help me out, right?
Man, all of this just to get GPS and Verizon service. Still nervous! And Verizon won't shut my service off or stop tech support?
Thanks again. Trying to get all the info up front so I don't have to later. Jim

Make sure you have backed up everything. First you need to unlock with the .40 unlocker. Then flash to the sprint pre-GPS ROM (This will downgrade your radio which is said to be dangerous but I have never heard of anyone hurting their phone while doing it correctly. This will also require you to call Verizon and get a new A-key. If they ask you what happened just tell them that you had to hard reset your device because of a bad program. Go through all of their steps and it will all get fixed. You have to call Verizon because you wont be able to make calls.) DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN! You'll know they're about to run beacuse there will be a pop up saying they're going to run in 3 seconds (or something like that). As soon as you see that pop up stick your stylus in the reset hole. Then unlock with the 2.31 unlocker. After you use this unlocker you wont have to unlock again. Ok now you flash back to the Verizon MR1 ROM. DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN! Once again you'll know they're about to run beacuse there will be a pop up saying they're going to run in 3 seconds (or something like that). Now after you do this your GPS should be working but I was never able to get it to work with the Verizon MR1 ROM. So I recommend using NSFFAN's 6.5 ROM. Now when I unlock and flash ROM's I don't disable the USB thing your talking about. I also flash everything through my computer (USB) and not through the SD card. There is a small chance you can brick your phone but if you do everything carefully and correctly it's a very very small chance. Just make sure you are doing everything right before moving on to each next step. If a phone is bricked I don't think it can be recovered but i'm not 100% sure. Lots of times when there are problems though it's not a bricked phone and just a glitch so if you have anything that doesn't seem right just come on here and ask for help. Verizon won't do anything with your service except fix your phone like I said earlier unless you tell them what your actually doing. I don't know what happens then and I don't want to find out.. What they don't know won't hurt them Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or need any help.
My question:
Would it be fair to say that the succsess of unlocking WP7 is depending on a serious amount of skill and equaly as much luck?
Seems the activation key i have is kind of usless for activating WP7. I used to think i had at least, some computer skills, but my head is confussed and lost in this mess.
Im begining to think that Vodoo might be the answer And if you think thats how it is, could we clear some posts here, because its growing pretty fast and it still seems to be luck ("You know, i was leaning in sofa, tilted my keyboard") Well, thats my question, the red text is no need to read.
Lets be serious, this instructions isnt super science it self:
1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools; On it brother..
2. Install zune; Oh i feel you..
3. Make partneship with zune and phone; named it HD7 oh yeah, oh yeah
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC); Some google lov!! Oh im a big boy, i can handle it...
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. coffie mashine, fridge, make sure doors are locked too. Wouldt it be easy to boot in to Safemode on PC, since nobody tried i havent =)
Like everybody else, Connect your phone or start zune, or if i forgett somthing and Ops, the instant crash. So once again, is it luck? (Cant belive me self asking this, but i have to)
There is only one way, look for the threads that are talking about unlocking WP7, there are many under the WP7 and HD2 fora, and just try everything. if everything fails try again and use different combinations. I also had the same problem, I tried everything and nothing worked.
One day while I was going to give up and go back to WM6.5 I tried to unlock the phone while I was connected to the internet. Guess what, it worked! Everyone is saying to disconnect from the internet, but for me it works only when I am connected! So, yeah, maybe it is a bit of luck, due to the device, maybe it is something else.
Just keep trying
I could never get past the ChevronWP7.exe bit. It would just not work for me.
I ended up giving up on that list of instructions completely and rang Microsoft. They gave me an activation code and everything worked after that.
I thought it was a requirement to follow those instructions, but it turns out I was wrong.
It hasn't do anything with luck or skills, just some logical sense.
Lets start at a freshly installed copy of windows. I use W7 Ultimate x64. Whereas x64 always gave compatibilty problems, seems like it's eating chevron unlocker for breakfast. If an x64 can do it, then an x86 (32bit) can surely do the same thing.
What I did. Clean system. Just w7, the drivers for graphics, motherboard, sound etc... basic things. No AV installed and windows firewall turned off.
Next, I installed thw WP7 SDK, then zune and even .net framework 4.
I have not edited any hosts file or closed any ports, because like I said, clean system, no skype and all.
Hooked the HD2 to the PC and let zune recognize it and doing some basic stuff like syncing.
Then disconnect the HD2 and put it in airplane mode and reconnected to pc.
Ofcourse, I had the unlock.certificate allready installed on my HD2. So, when Zune found my device, I used the unlocker. First attempt might fail, but the second attempt was mine. There you go, it couldn't be easier. No firmware.ipsw needed and unthethered. I even have set my date back to 2010 and it could still unlock.
Goodluck.

Hey,
My iPhone has died so I am looking to buy cheap phone whilst I wait for decent phones WP7 to come out this year. I was wondering how well does
Android work on HD2? Any lag? Do major features like GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi, etc work properly? Finally, any of you guys use Android as your day to day OS?
I couldn't find these answers so I apologise if these have been asked recently.
Thanks.
I'm running a NAND build and everything works great. The battery life is tremendous and I use my phone for everything.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
The phone was made for Android...why Windows Mobile ended up on ths beast is a mystery to me. Everything works and works well. It runs circles around my brother-in-law's Droid...buttery smooth. The CM builds are my favorites, but if you like Sense, the DHD builds are great too. I was goingto upgrade last fall...but with Android running that's on indefinite hold.
And if you want to use WP7...it has reached daily driver status for a lot of folks too. But comming from iPhone, you might be disappointed in the app store at this point...still early.

Cheap phone? HD2? Seriously?
HD 2's are still holding value. One on contract in uk will be the same price as a desire. If you really can get obw cheap snap their hand off
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I picked my HD2 up for 49 bucks a couple months ago. They are getting cheaper.
As for problems, just a few minor ones that some people have helped me fix on this forum.
When I downloaded the NAND rom, everything went smoothly. You might possibly get the Unit code problem. Just do the solutions that people are recommending on this forum. Worked for me.
Make sure you download HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR 1.12, and then the NAND rom. Check radio version before doing this as well.
couple things Ive noticed with this rom compared to 6.5
*The G-Calibration doesnt work as well on NAND as it did on 6.5. Screen sometimes doesnt rotate when you want it too
*Swype needs some modifications to it once downloaded to your NAND rom for the rom to recognize it (at least in my case)
*The Internet issue that everyone is having problems with but is a VERY EASY FIX...(manually enter APN settings) described in another thread
*Finally the phone isn't recognized by computer once plugged in. Anyone have a solution for this that works, please let me know
*Once I got my 3G to work properly with the APN settings, GPS worked perfectly fine and havent had a issue with it that others have had
With all that comes Android though. Android software itself is amazing compared to Windows and these are minor issues that dont bother me. This Rom is very fast and superior to any other Rom in my opinion. Marketplace is great, the animation is second to none, the app and widget placement is superb. I'd definitely recommend picking this phone up and downloading the NAND Rom as you won't be dissapointed.

If you Mean your computer can't mount the phone as a drive, I've only seen this issue in Gingerbread Builds. The fix "more of a work around really" is to download and use the "Multi Mount SD-Card" widget.

Just a quick correction - some people have data connection issues, not everyone!

With the new ROM, my phone isnt recognizable once plugged in anymore. Ive read about a couple fixes but haven't gotten it to work. This issue is kinda blurry to me since it is a different ROM and your computer software expects to be hooked up to a Windows ROM rather than android. It charges through usb connection to computer, just cant sync contacts, etc. through computer. So yes, it isnt recognizable as a drive at all other than charging if that makes sense. Its the newest NAND rom that DFT provided.

You could try installing the Android SDK. It's a big install, but it will include the necessary drivers for connecting an Android device.
You can get it here...

Will those official drivers work with DFT's version of NAND android ROM though? Will it recognize it??
Strange, I primarily run gbread and I have never had this issue. Running both mdj cyanogenmod as well as hyperdroid

I have no reason to see why not - it's just Android, like every other build. I'm not sure why you're having a problem in the first place.
Are you just trying to connect as a USB device? If so, have you set the phone to act as a USB device?

freeridindirtbiker,
If I understand you correctly you are having problems syncing contacts with your phone now that you have flashed the DFT provided Stock Desire NAND ROM?
My question is what program are you using to try to sync with your phone? When you had windows mobile on your phone you could sync using the windows mobile device center. Now that you are running android (especially in NAND) your phone is no longer a windows mobile phone and cannot be synced through windows mobile device center. You can download HTC Sync which is the software HTC provides to sync an HTC Desire with contacts etc...
Your phone now identifies itself as an HTC Desire. You can natively use it as a usb mass storage device (flash drive), but to "sync" with it you need to install new software on your PC.

Thankyou Brian. Thats what I was I looking for. I knew you couldnt have windows software recognize an android ROM. I was wondering basically what I could do in place of that windows software which in turn is HTC Sync? Thats what I was wondering. Appreciate all your guys' help.

It was a contract lol.
A month ago I saw a few on Craigslist for about 150. Now they're 200-300 at least. Seems people are catching on
