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".

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.
Windows Mobile 6.1 will be formally released next week Looks official!!
Tuesday Pocket Lint reported ( http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/13612/14636/windows-mobile-61-coming-april.phtml) that Microsoft is ready publish the latest version of Windows Mobile, time will be next week Tuesday. The Microsoft Windows Mobile team member in charge "Robbie Bach" had earlier mentioned this at the CTIA Wireless conference in Las Vegas during a keynote speech. Windows Mobile 6.1 will be the last version 6.0 release of the first major update. Earlier this year the title leaked out (http://www.boygeniusreport.com/gallery/handsets/windows-mobile-61/) showing that 6.1 might use a smoother interface than the 6.0 interface, but it is unclear if that is a smart phone only or will be related to EM Pro devices also.
Windows Mobile 6.1 is supposed to increase on the basics of improvements much like the WM5 to WM6 transition.
Next year, Microsoft is expected to follow the script Mac OS X, introduced a with a new touch-screen user interface for the Windows Mobile 7. ( http://209.85.135.104/translate_c?h...a.cn/+&hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-us )
Finally I need to point out that next Tuesday is April Fool's Day, but this is only a coincidence I hope.
See the above links for the Details from MS blogs.
LOOKS official... that is a UK website. is there any news of 6.1 being released in the US? what meger searching i did proved fruitless and i was just wondering if anyone has seen nething about it
should say "released to oems" not you and me
as per the way microsoft rolls out "updates" to windows mobile, device manufacturers are responsible for porting and making updates available per device. availability is usually sorted
digit
i know this is a stupid question....im am new to this, and this is my first windows mobile phone. I have the tilt and I know its running WM6.0, is it going to be available to download for us? for free? sorry for the noob question

go to the kaiser rom development and read the wiki and yes is the answer in simple terms
yea 6.1 will be free because its a minor update only... WM7 will not be free but it doesnt release until later next year... Also, 6.1 is available in parts in some of the roms on this site... Its not worth it unless ur a fan of threaded SMS... it has nothing so important to upgrade...
I am just waiting for pointUI to come out with version 2.0

pointUI will definitly be great but as long as you end up in the "classic" applications behind I find the finger-controls more or less worthless. Therefore I really look forward to WM7. This could be a really revolutionary WM release.

let's just hope you are right about this i'm dying to see froyo on my legend and starting to regret for picking legend over desire

same here.. but still looks cooler than Desire
except the "antenna" at the bottom, it's quite loose, the only thing that I don't like hardware-wise
hope that Froyo will improve it software-wise
by the way, just checked the original source (a german site) and they have update from today - we are not getting Froyo in two weeks.. everything is indefinite....
Here is the original source.
Translated by google:
HTC has denied through his PR agency, that there will be two weeks in an operating system update for the Desire and the Legend. The statement was based on a misunderstanding. It is certain that the HTC Hero will receive in the next two weeks, his update to Android 2.1. In the update for the HTC Desire remains vague and will deliver an update to the third quarter. Whether and when to upgrade to the Legend Android 2.2 get, you do not know yet.

what? you're totally wrong, htc and desire will have froyo in the same time as they had the other updates together in the past.

Uh, the article actually directly says this won't happen. Google translate failed.
Well I've heard multiple times before this that customer service reps from htc have also confirmed the update to froyo for the legend. The most recent being an email from a customer service rep stating that the user fear not about his flash playing troubles because android 2.2 and incidentally flash 10.1 would be released for the htc legend within the next 2 weeks.
Follow this up by the recent release of flash 10.1 for android 2.2 and the release of the android 2.2 source code being released today the statement of "within the next 2 weeks" seem to be exactly what is happening. Not only is android 2.2 pretty much here but will be available sooner rather then later. To add further flame to the fire htc repeatedly said android 2.2 will be supported by almost all 2010 devices and with the desire being more widely available and more powerful it is more likely to be put in with definite android 2.2 compatible even though the desire and legend get almost always get updates at the same time.
The most likely reason the statement was pulled? Well it must simply be due to google not publishing the source code yet, thus letting people essentially know froyo is ready.
Htc most certainly can't pull the plug on 2.2 before google itself does. But! Now that it has published final froyo source code it is 99.9% done and is most likely waiting to be uploaded to the server.
My uneducated guess is that we'll see froyo on the legend by mid july at the latest.
Also not sure if anyone thought of this, but bell (and indirectly virgin mobile canada) are not stupid companies. They are introducing a new android phone and thus throwing massive amounts of ad $ and marketing into it, from both bell/virgin AND htc itself. Remember this is virgins FIRST android set and bells 4th or 5th, they would most likely have talked to htc to make sure the device is upgradeable to the newest android. They just started selling it, they aren't going to allow it to be out dated within the month its released! If the did it would be a waste on advertising and a waste of introducing a new phone.
That's just my 2 cents, but it seems very logical to me, how about you?

Well, HTC may be about "wasting time" but I assure you a phone carrier isn't about wasting money on a device that will essentially be obsolete within the month they release it. Case in point no north american phone carrier's are introducing any android devices that aren't running android 2.2 or able to upgrade to it, why should bell/virgin mobile be any different?

The legitimate release hasn't been release, although litterally 5 minutes ago I saw reports on endgadget that small ota's of frf83 we're infact being pushed out via ota right now.
Also in this forum section someone is currently developing froyo and hopes to release it by the weekend, maybe send that person a pm?

Its not about the traffic.
Its just because we see the Wave II is hotter than the Omnia 7 this is really strange.
''playing like children'' you guys should be all happy that we release for free a OFFICIAL test rom of Mango for the Omnia 7.
Its only because one of our insiders leak something you all think we should release directly!
I can tell you this insider isn't a direct contact person of us!
Yes we have the rom and Yes we will not release till we have more downloads for a new release!
For example.
Lower sales S8530 over 1000 downloads in 36 hours. (Bada 2.0)
I8700 only 600 downloads in 36 hours. (Mango)
The sales of the Omnia 7 are higher than the Wave II.
We got this August version over 4 weeks since 2 days online now!
Be happy and stop blaming like children!

Nope we did the same by all bada 2.0 roms.
We release when we think the time is right.
We compare the Omnia 7 and Wave II because they are on the same level.
We just release I8700XXKH2 and you guys are blaming us for everything because we are not releasing I8700XXKI1
We are not a Santa or something.
Community = sharing
Who is telling you we want specially a communty we are not like XDA.
We do what we want to do if you guys don't like we don't care.
This is how we do since many years now.
Thank God there is no big use for ROMs like this on Windows Phone like there is on Android & Bada or was on Windows Mobile. There will be an official release sooner or later anyway. Thanks to Microsoft's policy. In addition it won't wipe my personal data.
Thanks anyway

If that is your policy I, personally, will respect it.

jap, I had i9000 and use to flash it 3 times a week, some times even more, but there was odin and everything was safe, with omnia it is dangerous operation.
another point that ppl not download KH2 is the branding!! i don't want to have a software branding on my phone so i don't load KH2
KI1 instead i would download immediately and flash it
EDIT:
But well if they want to have more downloads, i will download it So all of you guys instead of writing here download re-download etc etc
AND the only thing they want more downloads is, they get money for the downloads i guess:

I see a lot of hatin' for samfirmware and I see the rationale, but I don't think people should be calling names.
As for samfirmware, you know what'll drive more dls and revenue for your site? how 'bout releasing k1? I'm on the same boat as everyone here that doesn't want branding. The only thing that I like from official samsung firmware is hidden wifi, which I don't think I will use that much, but nice to have. I won't be holding my breath for K1 because stock MS Mango RTM is working flawlessly even on old omnia 7 drivers. And to be fair, I did download the engineer rom, just don't like the idea of wiping all my data just for hidden wifi and setting up everything again.
So how about it samfirmware? Want more traffic? I'll trade my two imaginary bandwidth children for it or I can just wait till official release through Zune which allow people to keep their data. I won't be holding my breath for K1.
There is possibility to update to KH2 via the imageupdate that was in the archive, but it doesn't work on all ROMs, just some - it depends on the CSC you used while flashing your current ROM I think.
I didn't manage to get rid of the one branded package in the update - I have both pksbuild tool and signtool, but I don't have any usable certificate to re-sign the new pks with . (And uploading just directly the .cab.pkg didn't work for me.)
(And you can flash back the original ROM or just bootloader with the patched flashing app.)

I did this and this worked for me , but you need a t-mobile de rom to do this trick.
(yes I know ondra that you know this but all others didn't )
Stop boring and blaming.Remener,we use the roms for free.We should say thanks instead of blame.Do not act as a child in forum.
good job thx

Its not about the traffic.
Its just because we see the Wave II is hotter than the Omnia 7 this is really strange.
''playing like children'' you guys should be all happy that we release for free a OFFICIAL test rom of Mango for the Omnia 7.
Its only because one of our insiders leak something you all think we should release directly!
I can tell you this insider isn't a direct contact person of us!
Yes we have the rom and Yes we will not release till we have more downloads for a new release!
For example.
Lower sales S8530 over 1000 downloads in 36 hours. (Bada 2.0)
I8700 only 600 downloads in 36 hours. (Mango)
The sales of the Omnia 7 are higher than the Wave II.
We got this August version over 4 weeks since 2 days online now!
Be happy and stop blaming like children!

Hi,kind regard to you.i'm a omnia 7 user from china,and there many users in our china.
it's a good news that you shared the I8700XXKH2 rom but you don't know most of us from china can't access to the website hotfile.com(because the suck GFW.china goverment block many website such us Twitter/Facebook and many Network disk).
so we can't dirctly download the firmware from the link you shared,we download it from the mirror like u.115.com,a chinese network driver.Base on this reason,i think the number of your firmware been download is not the real numerical value.And we really hope you share the new rom agian and quickly.
sorry for my poor english,i wish you can understand what i said.

SF,
I've used one of your ROM's before, to remove branding from my T-Mobile branded Omnia, and I'm very happy and gratefull.
However, I'm guessing most of us Omnia owners are not flashing/upgrading because we all are waiting for the unbranded mango ROM, not yet another NoDo or branded Mango.
Anyway, thanks for your hard work, and keep it up.
We will bring I8700XXKI1 but we don't give any details when.
Mango roms takes time!
Because many people are to dangarous we will make a online flashguide!
Firmware version I8700XXKI1 will be ponline together with some others. (Not WP)
We just want to see how HOT mango roms are.
Other thing when you guys using other download links this will blockade newer roms faster.
Why do you think we release a lot of bada 2.0 roms.
So stay tuned!
