just wondering if some of you that upgraded from a trinity to a Kaiser are happy with it.. Was thinking about getting one.. have been trying an iphone, but the lack of good pda features is killing me..
so i've been looking at getting a kaiser, but without a lot of nice cooked roms out yet and stuff, i was just wondering what you guys thought about it.

I will take the Kaiser anytime over the trinity, save the bug of the bulk updates on the GPS system.
Just using the stock ROM and add on the softwares that I need, and its great.
The response is faster than the trinity.
The GPS system is definitely a lot faster. Can get fix almost immediate.
Not sure about the peeling off issue will happen to Kaiser. Just got mine for few days.

Hello my friend, I have changed to HTC Tytn II, and man what a big change, loving the new one and not even missing the trinity a bit, the Kaiser is for sure a keeper, its a show piece, high quality material finish, no peeling issues, keyboard with a lovely tilt, GPS is outstanding; by the time you start the nav app your gps is fixed , and not forgetting the big space in both ram and rom, I do recommend the Kaiser to everybody, and would always look forward to see a Kasierguides.info by racerx_
Yep - I was a Trinity owner and for me , I got really frustrated at not having a proper keyboard - solved with the Kaiser!!!
Plus it has a lot more memory available, especially with a cooked ROM..
Cheers
John
I also upgraded my Trinity to Kaiser, and I fully agree with taiseer999.
He forgot to mention the Trinity MiniSD issue with disappearing files and stuff. the Kaiser dont have this issue at all.
The down side for me in compare to the Trinity is the size and the weight, and also the BT Headset sound. but other than that, all perfect for me.
helllo....
i'm using trinity before i get brand new htc tytn II.For me,htc tytn II is better than trinity in all department.Because of that i sold my trinity.
For Iphone i had too for a week,but i cant compare those two devices because there build for different purpose and differrent os,but the two of devices is good.....
cheers
Kaiser feel very solid when compared to trinity. But the weight difference is quite big. But love every moment with it. GPS connection is definitely faster. Haven't tried cook rom yet since the ROM/RAM size is double of trinity.
Keyboard is good but with new software keyboard like touchpal. Hardware keyboard is no longer a necessity.
thanks everybody for the feedback.. very helpful. Sounds like no one's looking back...

hey... taiseer.. didn't know you'd jumped over to Kaiser-land!! haha.. well, you're definitely making me think of getting one.. not sure about the weight, but otherwise maybe it's the phone for me.. we'll see about kaiserguides.info haha.. but we need 1) me to get a kaiser and 2) a lot of good chefs and yummy roms..
will update you.. guess i can sell the iphone and the trinity and snag one..
what was that mentioned in an earlier message about GPS batch updates? i didn't follow that..

the GPS stream does not come in smoothly like the trinity, but instead, it comes in bursts every 8 seconds or so.
The updates on voice navigation is therefore somewhat delayed at times.
Sometimes, it can tell me to exit at the intersection ahead, where I have already passed it.
This is with the bundled R12 Mapking (for asia), and Mapking 2007 (retail).

There is a software update for R12:
http://mapking.com.sg/download/MapKing R12/TyTn II/TytnII_Setup_MapKingR12.zip
For MapKing 2007, you can use GPSproxy + Mapking to improve the refresh rate.

well, HTC Asia has confirmed that its a bug, so they should solve the problem, although there are workarounds.
Until that happens, its still a bug in their ROM.

MapKing R12 has already solved the slow refresh rate issue with their latest update.
i've been wondering.. what's the difference between R12 and 2007? i use mapking 2007 and am pretty happy with it...

you see, using the R12 that comes with Kaiser in the Trinity, there is absolutely no problems at all.
Using the same version of MK2007 on Trinity, there is no problems at all as well.
From what I can comprehend, its the GPS multiplexing software that is causing the problem in the Kaiser.
The R12 fix you are talking about most probably reroutes the signal by bypassing the multiplexer, directly to the GPS COM port.
This way, if you have 2 GPS softwares running at the same time, the 2nd software cannot work. e.g. R12, and GPS photo.
But anyway, since HTC has acknowledged that its a bug, I guess its good to let all know.
sorry this is still confusing me. Is there a problem with gps bursts or not? I thought you said there was, now saying there's not??

the GPS signal/stream comes in bursts every 7-8 seconds, unlike in trinity, where its updated frequently.
Since you are using MK2007, you should see that the GPS stream is updated smoothly in it.
what this cause is that your location is updated whenever the burst comes in.
So if you are driving, and it tell yous to "exit at the intersection ahead", you may have already passed it.
I used the EXACT same copy of MK2007 on both trinity and Kaiser.
Trinity ok, Kaiser NG (bursts)
Using the EXACT same copy of MKR12 from Kaiser on trinity, its ok, but when you install it on Kaiser, you get the bursts... and you need to use the updated version on the Kaiser to workaround this issue.
Matrix:
------------MK2007-------MKR12------
Kaiser -------NG------------NG-------|
Trinity-------OK------------OK-------|
So to me, its a problem, and HTC acknowledged that its a bug.
Hello everyone, can someone tell me if this is a known problem? Every time I am using some GPS Navigation software like MIO or something like that if I get a call, I can not hear the other person or the person can not hear me until I have exited the GPS application. This even happens when I am using BT headphones.
Thanks for the help!
Jorge
Hey George, I have not encountered those problems with Destinator nor iGo. Have you tried any other GPS Software other than MIO?
Hey Jimmy,
I have not been able to find a working version of IGO. I am using MIO MAP V3.3. I also had the problem with Iguidance 3.0.
My IGO version flashes the Splash Screen and it goes away. The resolution is set right but I just can not run it. I have not looked for another copy of it so maybe now there is a better copy out there.
I think I would like to have IGO 8.0. Do you have that?
jorge
I used iGo 2006 about a month ago, but sticked to Destinator 7 because it had better maps of my city.
I really have not heard of such problem, and I know little of what could cause it other than bad compatibility that is not very probable.
Earthcomber is a free GPS software with free maps for the US. Why not give it a try too?
Sorry I was not much help, lets hope some other user notices your issue and solves it.
Actually, you were helpful because I know that it is just mine. Plus had some suggestions so, thanks for that!
Jorge
Hi,
I`m facing this weird situation: Destinator (7.0.0.588.11) does not load if phone is on, after the splash screen it just closes (leaving a bar near the battery icon).
I'm using Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700 (radio 1.65.14.06) but this problem also happened before with OEM 6.0 ROM.
If I turn phone off, Destinator loads fine.... It worked for weeks, but now I just cannot use Destinator...
Any clues ?
I have a similar problem with Garmin Mobile XT
It doesn't load if GPRS/EDGE is configured
try just removing any GPRS/EDGE connection and loading it
if it works, you have the same problem as me
but I didn't find any solution yet
Yes, runs ok with gsm off, even if I reinstall it would not run with phone on....
I'm having the same issues, but turning the phone off solves as you mentioned. At least there is some solution!
Do you guys think a radio downgrade would solve this issue ?

hm, that's a good idea
please let us know if you try that and it works
IGO my way 2006
It`s also happening with iGO my way plus 2006. Any ideas ?
Changed ROM but still crashing...
I'm now using L26 V9 but the problem persists. I think Destinator freezes when loading GPS, because yellow led does not blink at this time.
If I turn phone off, Destinator works fine...Any ideas ?
I just found the solution: Just delete SMSModule.dll in DestinatorApps/Destinator and it should work.

Destinator PN and AT&T Tilt
I have to say that I had been struggling with this program shutting down on my Tilt since 9/09, after having worked for more than a year. I resorted to using an old handheld device to navigate to new destinations while driving, something I do regularly as a social worker. And finally today, after doing much searching on the Internet and attempting different fixes, it appears the solution of deleting sms file is the answer. Thank you very much.

I've given up using Destinator for months because I couldn't figure out what the hell was wrong and I installed iGo instead (which I don't like much).
THANKS MAN!!!

Hi Friends!
At the beginning, sorry for my bad english!
From the advent of wm6.1 I've found many problems (using quickgps) to fix satellites .
Yesterday I've tried to use this little program http://www.avaricum.net/qgps.cab.
You know it?
Now the fix is much more better (like wm6.0)
Can you try it and post your suggestions?
Will give it a try

Good find bro, i just switched from tom tom to iGO, an i'll have to say the latter is much quicker, so this software should speed it up a treat!!
program seems to freeze up my device requiring a soft reset.
oh this is also in the wrong part of the forum it should be listed in software.

the q-gps worked well with me i have neon radio 1.58

well it was freezing because I was attempting to connect using wifi opposed to using data considering I am at home.
Does anyone have iGO 8 with Text to Speech enabled? Does your copy run well?
I have it working, but it is SLLLOOOWWW. The UI lurches, and the voice is choppy. It is acting like the Kaiser does not have enough resources to run it properly (which may be the case). If anyone has it working well, let me know what you did to get it working well (like your SYS.TXT settings, or other).
Thanks!
iGO8 problems
I am running iGO 8.0.0.49545 flawlessly on my Tilt with HPIII M2D December
3rd ROM. I recooked the ROM, but nothing that would effect the GPS. I am running the same radio as you too. IM me if you need anything such as files.
iGO 8.0 with normal voices was always stable for me, but with Text to Speech voices it seemed to crash a LOT more.
I'm trying iGO 8.2 right now, but I can't even get TTS to work on it at all.. Plus some bugs with POI icons... I think I'll be going back.
Bump? Anyone get this working reasonably?
I am also running iGO 8.0.0.49545 flawlessly on my Tilt with HPIII M2D December. Ran with L26 Diamond B6 as well. Here is what I found:
After first installing IGO8, it would go through my contacts (I have 400+) and try to geocache the addresses or something like that. While this was happening, it was mad slow, very choppy. Just let it run for as long as it takes to pop up a 'warning' like 'geocaching complete, failed to import x of y, do you want to see errors?'
It might not be called geocaching, but it is something very similar.
I can't guarantee that is the issue, but it worked for me.
I have the iGO8 running pretty good on my Kaiser, the only problem is that the voice seems to be small, at least smaller than what I saw on Garmin XT or Tomtom 7. Does anyone have any suggestion about this?

I tested TTS on OCN8 (aka iGO8) for PocketPCThoughts just a few months ago. Yes, it was very slow and frequently got itself very screwed up on directions -- correcting itself halfway through, dropping the remainder of a direction, etc.
I eventually just removed it. The 2.1 voices are much smoother.

Exactly the problem I'm having. I wish TomTom would support Navigator 7 for Kaiser.
I just installed the non-TTS voices personally. Although since I updated to 8.3, iGO8 takes about twice as long to startup now. Not sure why.

.PM if to sensitive
I am using Igo 8.3 and have been using 8.0 before.
I have stability issues with both versions (freeze/lockup/reboot) that i cannot seem to solve.
Using Dutty's Diamond rom and 1.65.16.25 radio.
Hard reset and only igo installed still has the same problems.
Anyone know what could cause the problem?
