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.

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......

Really???
I myself are still doubt. about 4 hours ago, i managed to get my hand on a BB app suite cab. tried to install on my elfin, and it said something like "oem is not supported 'htc-elf'". while at that momment, i'm using the official rom from the htc site. out on curiosity i tried the 'setmodelID.exe' method i read on touch hd2. still having the same error message.
flashed my elfin with athar's, repeat the step, same. but i do manage to have the bb connect up and running on both roms.
IMHO, if somehow we can decieve the cab that our device is not elf, perhaps it would install. running the app suite is another thing.
i was actually just want the BBM thing. but i have no clue on what should i do next. hope someone here can port the suite to work on elf. it should be good. or atleast only the BBM. ^_^
anyway i'm using the ce-rom now. was liking it until i realized 'IT HAS NO OTHER Input Method other than qwerty keyboard.' can someone kindly enough to point me how to put the defaults input method like the original rom from htc?
thanks. i know i didn't help alot. sorry bout that
No you can't have BB OS, but you can have a half-decent version of Android working on the Elf/Elfin.
Is now 3 days that i put my hands on Desire, im coming from an old X1 (thanks gtrab for the Pure 6.5 ROM) and the only thing i can say is ... OMG the future on my hands!
Im pretty astonished by android, by the Desire itself , the market place and by the Extended reality apps (goggles, shopper...) but i discovered a few things that are not working and i cannot figure why...
Google Earth is not working / installing ... the browser (once i try to follow the google link) say "application not found"... why?
Also Voice search is not installing at all, i think because im italian and google not allow this kind of dload due to the fact that voice search only support english , mandarine and japanese... is this possible?
Some of you can help me on clear up those little problems ?
Many thanks in advance ...
Hello guys.
I want to start by saying that I'm a real newbie when it comes to phones; I have absolutely no knowledge concering them.
I just bought a real nice (and cheap) HTC Elf (Model nr. HTC_P3450 or ELF0100, I dunno which one is the real model nr.), installed with Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Its current version is: CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Now, to the question:
How do I install another keyboard? The one I have right now is rubbish and I am forced to use a stylus in order to write comfortably.
I need a complete step-by-step tutorial on how to download, install it and apply it. Oh and one more thing, I don't have an USB cable, so I am forced to do everything from the phone (Yes, I have internet and I am using Opera Mini 10).
I haven't installed anything on the phone expect for Opera and some other keyboard layouts (that I uninstalled later)
Before anyone rages, I just want to let you guys know that I have searched for different tutorials. But really I find it all confusing, especially this forum for how big it is. I have even tried to download and install many different keyboard layouts (ex. Unofficial Touch PhonePad (+VGA) and vibrate dialpad), but they just don't seem to work (I'm sure that I'm doing it wrong).
Thanks in advance!
