HTC NEW GPS ROM - This is frustrating!

Hi,
Where is the new rom from HTC to enable our Trinitys with GPS capability? I know the Dopod rom is out but it has a lot of jargon attached to it. They said March and it came and no news.
Thanks,
Gilbert

I agree this is frustrating. The DOPOD ROM has been available for a month now and basically they are the same company. They don't seem to care too much for their European customers.

Answer from HTC last Week
I ask HTC last week, from where i can get an update, because i didn't bought the p3600 from a provider. This was the answer:
The HTC P3600 currently does not offer GPS Functionality. While we are aware that some other derivatives of the P3600 may have already released this update, HTC has not yet set a date on the final release of the ROM update, as other updates are being included in the release.
Please continue to check the www.europe.htc.com support section for an update section, which is to be included once ROM updates have been released.

i've given up waiting, just flashed mine with a GPS enabled rom

i think. they'll out in second half of march... be patient

Dude, that sounds hot! What if one of those other updates is WM6 or some really useful bug-fix?

There are a plethora of other bugs on this device that need fixing (camera driver issues, cpu/imageon compatibility issues, skype speaker issue). I for one will be happy to wait until the end of the month if we get fixes for other issues too.

I've got a Spanish Trinity and also made a question about the GPS ROM update to HTC, here is the answer:
Thank you for your enquiry concerning the HTC P3600 mobile device.
The HTC P3600 currently does not offer GPS Functionality. There is a possibility of an update to enable the GPS functions of the device at a future date, and we hope to be able to do this as soon as possible, but we cannot and do not guarantee this.? If you buy the P3600 for possible future GPS functionality, you do so entirely at your own risk.
I hope we have it shortly but I've got my doubts!!!

That's the same message they were sending in December. Obviously the support people can only feed you with canned responses when it comes to future products or enhancements.

Hello,
I have just bought P3600 except operator pack.
I know that Orange brought out a ROM with the GPS. Having an orange abo, that will happen if I put this rom? Has it a risk there of shooting my HTC?
Thx
bonjour,
je viens d'acheter un P3600 hors offre opérateur.
Je sais qu'Orange a sortie une ROM avec le GPS. Ayant un abo orange, que se passera t il si je mets cette rom? Y a t il un risque de shooter mon téléphone?
D'avance merci

It really shoes that htc give a sh*** about their europoean costomers.
Here in germany already vodafone got the trinity with gps ans sells it under their brand. but you cant download the rom.
I'm going to try to get the rom at vodafone on the cebit in 2 weeks. But I don't think I'll be successfull. I think theys will tell me "You cant get the rom because you don't own a original vodafone product" or stuff like that.
I'll never buy an htc pda again this supoort is joke! They're sending the same messages for month. I guess they think: "Hey this guy already baught our product, so why should we take care of if he gets gps on it."

to be honnest, all the gps roms like the one from dopod and orange still have bugs in them.
no bass, touchdcreenslowdown etc;
i'd rather wait a bit longer for an htc rom if that means those bugs are fixed awell

I mean it would be ok if htc says that they realse it in april or even in may. But they say nothing, so it's possible too that they never release a gps update for the htc P3600.

You are right guys, it would be better if HTC would tell us at least the month they will realease their Rom update but nothing. I bought a product which costs more than my salary here in tunsia an got a product which would be perfect if the bugs would be fixed, but theres no reaction which can help us out of this problem, I would wait until june or even july. After the HTC Magician, HTC just sold gargabe, Im not contently with the support of HTC, I think thats the last time I´ve bought something of them.

Spoke to the HTC Boogers in London to ask them when they are releasing their rom upgrade with GPS enabled and they said they still don't know yet and they acknowledged that a rom is in the cooking but they cannot confirm if the GPS or WM6 will be included but they said that they are addressing all the errors and bugs found in the earlier rom to be fixed in the new rom. They mentioned something like two to three months for the new rom release. BIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next time I will buy a bloody Dopod and live with their network jargon on the device

Next time I might buy an HP. At least they have a good record in terms of providing bug fixes and updates. It doesn't make sense to buy the most feature rich device if it takes ages to fix bugs and deliver full functionality.
The "busy signal through loudspeaker" bug is just ridiculous. They should have fixed it months ago.

Ranting!
I dont understand your ranting. This device is marvelous. You can get GPS if you use other roms. I do not have a touchscreen issue and with my Bluetooth headset sound is okay. There is no device on the market with all this (working!) features AND this smart design and form factor. I had an Dell Axim x51v before and support was a nightmare!

I agree. After upgrading to the Dopod rom, installing SPB Mobile Shell instead of SPB PocketPlus and upgrading to Navigon 6.1 gps software, this device works fast and very stable. It is much better than I originally anticipated.

I have never used HP PocketPC phones but I had three HP iPaq PocketPCs in the past (two of them were actually still branded Compaq) and for two of those three HP/Compaq provided an upgrade to the next OS release and generally for all of them they issued at least 10 updates/patches/improvements. You can check the HP site and find these updates yourself.
On the other hand HTC/Qtek/Dopod have never ever offered OS upgrades and their response time in handling problems has always been awful. In fact I own a Qtek S200 bought on Expansys and to this date I would not have access to any correction at all if it wasn't for this site. I would not be able to use my stereo bluetooth headset with that phone because there is no OFFICIAL way to enable A2DP on that phone even if we all know that it is technically possible and I have used the "home-made" solution for months.
Honestly it just stinks that we must rely on this site and patch products costing 400 pounds with unofficial software to make them work correctly. And I see this as HTC's fault.
SO: no, I am not clueless and I am reporting my specific personal experience. On the other hand you have just sent a meaningless message without any substance as to why I would be "clueless".

HTC Kaiser Availability in Hong Kong....

Anyone have any idea when HTC TyTN II possibly be released in Hong Kong? What could be the price?

i am in hongkong and i got my online devicewire.com in uk for UK437.5 shipped DHL to me in 3 days. i have no compliant on their service and price so far. the kaiser is the best wm phone i have ever had, and i have been waiting eagerly for it for so long.

I checked on expansys Hong Kong, they are selling it for HK$6280. So getting from device wire plus freight charges makes it a much much expensive phone.
Is there any feedback when HTC will start selling the HTC TyTN II in Hong Kong?

Should be released this week
Should be released later this week according to both HTC and Expansys HK, with the latter saying 13 Sep.

more money = playing with the phone now, less price = still no phone to play with + painful wait.
so i chose to pay more.

Kilowong,
I am assuming you use some kind of Chinese application like CE-star. My previous experience on cooked WWE WM6 with CE-star was that it wasn't too stable. Could you share with us whether the Kaiser's English OS with CE-Star or others are stable enough? Thanks.
Peter

i use monster chinese v5.3 build 050414 for view chinese characters, Monster SIP v5.2 build 060315. i installed handwriting chinese simplified and traditional for writing chinese.
i have zero problem with it. these softwares were from my old WM5 O2 flame and they work seamlessly with WM6.
i disabled all the other input methods eg. the keyboard, transcriber and ... in the registry and just left with the monster sip. everything is working very well so far.
i think MS has made great improvements in terms of stability and compatibility in WM6 unlike Vista.

Thanks for the fast reply! Really appreciate that.

Monster Chinese..... but where?

Big Fat Edit:
I have been busy trying to install the latest CE-Star V2.8R3A and Monster Chinese V6 which both promised to work with WM6.
So far CE-Star seems to be working fine (Using Simplified Chinese and Pinyin + handwriting input.
I will be testing Monster Chinese 6 soon too but I expect it will work like the latest CE-Star.
CE-Star seems to be working fine with the hardware keyboard.
No idea yet about Monster Chinese V6.
Although the fonts do not look very nice I'm working on replacing them with Windows Vista Simplified Chinese fonts and those look a lot better.

Anyone bought his unit from HK stores..except expansys?

Official WM6 upgrade imminent? Hooray!

http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/8240/leaked-info-on-att-treo-750-and-680-rom-updates/

i am looking forward to "oversized mute and speakerphone controls" !!! ...seems diff from the leaked ver, i think...

Maybe, but I'm not holding my breath on that.

I'm hoping the big delay is due to the implementation of the carousel into the today screen and similar as with the 500/centro.
Wouldn't that be nice, the states get the latest and greatest first for once

I saw this news too. Treo Central is reporting that "an internal AT&tT presentation has been posted." Follow link below...
http://www.treocentral.com/content/Stories/1384-1.htm

Of course the URL on the presentation is producing a 404 error today ... 3 days after it was supposed to be available ...

You mean the more than just the top line of those two buttons will now be visible when the Touchscreen Disabled message overlays them (when Auto-Disable Touchscreen while on call is selected)?
This is probably the only reason I would go to the trouble of "upgrading" from my "Leaked AT&T" WM6 version

Palm tech support told me today (10/21) that they have released WM6 to ATT for testing. Anyone have any idea how much longer we wait from here?

I should hope AT&T has been testing it. We've been testing WM6 for months now.
My unofficial, unscientific and uneducated guess: We'll finally get the official release sometime after yesterday.

I was talking to AT&T business customer service regarding my account. Before i got off the phone i asked a question regarding the availability of WM6 for the treo 750. He said the upgrade is out and available to all thier retail stores in effort to upgrade the existing stock of Treo 750 with WM5 to WM6 in preperation for the arrival of the new TREO 750 with WM6 included. Once the above mentioned is complied with, the upgrade for existing users will hit the perverbial shelves...
Giving Back..
jhowle

Excellent, jhowle! Thanks.
Anyone have any thoughts on how the upgrade will go for those of us with the leaked rom? Think the update will work as advertised? Or will we have to extract the cheeimg.nbh?
Not a huge deal either way. Just curious.

ladues and gent i finally gave in and went back to htc product, treo just not promising when come to updates and upgrades, so i have decide to invest my self in a new tytn II, how ever this have been a very wild adventure i am still retaining my patience with my treo 750 on ausie wm6 with att capakage.

Bad News for ICS ?

LG Optimus 2X Ice Cream Sandwich Update Delayed Till Third Quarter?

LG in line ...

im not surprised
somebody need to kick the LG's butt... really...

No, LG europe still says Q2. These are old 'news', as far as I remember LG India has announced first the delay, but LG europe is independent and insists on Q2...

Well, I wouldn't take any estimates relating to the release time seriously, since LG Europe has claimed that ICS release for Europe will still be 2nd quarter, independent of what other branches might do.
I don't believe anything before the actual files aren't released. Best not get your hopes up after all we have come to know about LG and update policies.

This is the Dev section, please continue the discussion in the official ICS thread.

I like the phone's hardware (except the screen's touch sensitivity) but this confirms I was right to order the Samsung Galaxy S3...

It's not LG's release of ICS which is important, it's more the source code itself to let XDA developer's genius go on

LG releasing source code is not the biggest problem - it's nVidia.

Before the speculations go on, someone from android-hilfe.de did write to LG customer service and got this reply (see english version far below ;-) ):
"Sehr geehrter Kunde,
vielen Dank fuer Ihre Kontaktaufnahme mit der Serviceline von LsG Electronics Deutschland GmbH.
Unsere letzer Informationsstand ist auch immer noch Quartal 2. Vermutlich war es nur ein Tippfehler des Kolle gen.

@TheSSJ - it would be nice to get a confirmation this month about this. But yet again if its late of June or the start of July it really doesn't make any difference. If they are planning to release it in the late of September...
Waiting from the LG guys to announce - "This Christmas ... LG is proud to present the ICS for Optimus 2x" )

Unfortunately,it's because of both of them. HTC already released the source codes of it's tegra 3 CPU.
Asus published the source codes of the other tegra 2 but LG doesn't give us their source codes..

one and a half months till the 2nd quarter is finished, so they have 45 days to release it... i seriously doubt they will release it soon... taking into consideration the time they needed to release gb (aprox. 1 year) i only see them releasing ICS late september / october...

I choose to not fret over this ICS upgrade thing and just enjoy my phone as is... A 1 year old dual-core Cyanogenmod 7 device that still kicks butt.

First off, this belongs in General. Second, it has a thread already, so this one will be locked.

Android M for P7

According to Deutsche Telekom Android M for P7 should already be out of about to drop.
it states:
04.02.2016 Huawei P7 V100R001C150B823 Android M
I've tried to tweet them but no reply as of yet, and I've also checked Hauwei German servers and there's no update on there yet.
Just wondering what does anyone else think about this?
https://telekomhilft.telekom.de/t5/...e-Software-Updates-in-2016/m-p/1636840#M89414

Hmm, all the roumors confirm this a month ago or two, i hope so its true.

Twitter Conversation with Deutsche Telekom:
Benjamin Cartwright &#8207 @bcartwright86 · 5h5 hours ago @telekom_hilft Hallo, konnte mir sagen, ob das Update für mein Handy veröffentlicht worden? Huawei P7 V100R001C150B823 Android M

Benjamin Cartwright &#8207 @bcartwright86 · 4h4 hours ago @telekom_hilft yes and it says the update should of been out 4/2/16??
Telekom hilft &#8207 @telekom_hilft · 3h3 hours ago @bcartwright86 if it´s not, then there is only one thing you can do: be patient and wait for it ^td

I still believe they are talking about a different device, maybe the P8 lite. If they would deliver the updates now, there would have been a beta test before.. Furthermore are all rumors only based on statements of German Telekom, there's no other source. So, I'd say the chances of this being real are minimal.

Android m is out for p8 lite, its b525, so i dobt think so, they cant make same mistake twice

An amazing news, but we need to be patient…

B823 is 5.1.1
