[Q]I'm being incredibly stupid (Igo8 question) - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

but I have used the search function to no success.
I've managed to 'legally' download a copy of Igo8 - successfully installed it, but it seems it only has the map for France on it, looking through the folders and files I can tell that this is true.
Now, I can't actually find any links, official or otherwise, to download a map of the UK(which I need) or Europe as a whole.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction..
Thanks.

There's your problem, legally is in in quotes you should remove them.

My bad.
Can't I purchase extra maps somehow?

lol! u are not good at that....no such thing like downloading a legal copy!!

Gosh darn it!
The reason I'm putting off paying for the software, is purely because for something like £20 extra I can get a dedicated Satnav device instead. I have a TomTom anyway, but I'd just like the convenience of using my phone for GPS rather than 2 seperate devices.
Oh well.
Thanks anyway.

you can 'legally' get it from the download source too and if you can get it so cheap why not pay for it ?

Rom Upgrades MDA Vario

Hi all,
I have been reading alot about the comments every one seems to making regarding the MDA Vario (unlocking or rom upgrading)
I have the latest unlocking including (CID) and i also have the latest upgrades too.
These are the full updated versions which will also change the country settings from other countrys to the full english version.
If required you can buy the cd's off me for a small price via paypal which will include full instructions with the unlocking software and upgrades, which all work 100% as i have done 14 so far with no problems.
This software will NOT change youe imei as it is against the law to do so.
you can pay me via paypal and leave your address in the comments section of your payment > £5.00 to [email protected] <
I hope this will help out some of you with problems.
Regards to all,
Jerry

If your comment wasent aimed at me then sorry for the reply, but if it is then it is no concern of yours if you want the software with a backup service then please ask.

I just think it's funny that you came to a self help site, phishing for business. lol What's even funnier is, I bet everything on the CD is something that's found right in the forums. Even if it may not be the same things, it's probably something similar.

Hi,
Maybe so that most thing can be found on the internet but do they do what is claimed most dont.
And as fishing for business as you put it how can offering a service to help out those to who have tried out various software and are still having problems with phone's pda's ect which have a street price of around £375.
It seems to me that some find my offer affends if that is the case i will withdraw what i am offering and put the offer on my own website we just thought it would help out as most of the links are dead one's, and some of the programes offered for free are hacked and they do damage to your phone when used we know this as we have a lot of software that we have download for free and it is a waste of time.
As for the software being free on the net which is on the cd well the unlocking programe is and works 100% every time, but the main files for upgrading cost us money one of the files is a full version in english the latest microsoft windows v5 please tell me where i can download that for free not the simple rom update but the full Os system!.
Regards,
Jerry

The only thing with that is, anybody in this section of the forum already has WM5 preinstalled on their device. And we can just strip out whatever we don't want installed. I'm failing to see the benefit of anybody in the "Wizard" area of the forums buying WM5 from you. By the way, I'd also like to point out that normally, in any business, there's always some kind of customer service and professionalism. You may want to do some research into that. I know that, from most of my experiences, if you have a problem, the company gives you sympathy. If you disagree with a policy, most companies would at the very least apologize about the way things are. You, my friend, act as a douche for your company. Only, in this instance, you're flushing out business. ~sniff~ Ah, the smell of vinegar in the night air. . .

UK - (Your e-mail Address is btinternet.com)
How long has your "company" been in operation ?
Are you UK VAT Registered ?
Is any of the software on the CD copyrighted / GNU licence etc ?
Also your a very new user here on xda-developers (under JKS_COMMS you only reg'd on 21-10-2006), only 6 posts (all of these in this thread) I doubt anyone is going to take you seriously.
Got to say this all sounds a bit fishy to me, do you really think ANYONE here with half a brain will send you a fiver - sounds like a bit of a scam to me so maybe this thread needs reporting to a MOD.

Hi,
there is nothing fishy here all my software is 100% i had to pay for it which was more then a fiver, so i thought i would help some one out on here with support to help them get there mda sorted and running 100% so i didnt think it was to much to ask, but as you can see it is wrong of me to offer this software at this price so i wont it do not bother me.
Have a good one.
for someone with the vocabulary of a 9 year old, he sure does seem confident in his ability to produce working software. As for wm5 being pad for, it does NOT require a cdkey. OEM's that resell it sometimes (I have heard of one) that has added a cdkey to it to it and it was compared to a hardware id. As for a place you can find a full wm5..... everywhere?

One thing you might like to add (and know yourself) is that the latest version of Google Maps should allow enough time to get a GPS fix from a cold start, without the need for any other apps. It works fine for me anyway.

Just tried using G-maps here for the first time, normally use Garmin.
Very impressed, as you say, G-Maps does not seem to utilise Quick-GPS for a fast lock but once locked, it is totally weird to watch a photographic image of the roads you are on, even if they are a couple of years old (I can live with that!!).

AT&T Programs

Are there any links to the original AT&T cab files for stuff like the XM Radio, Mobi TV, PTT, etc? Just because everyone else might not like to use them doesn't mean I might not want to.
One Id use the wiki on this one... before you get flamed. But to answer your question.. If you are still on the stock rom they are still there in your windows folder. Just not installed after the soft reset. If you are not using the stock ROM then The wiki has your answer.
Not trying to get flamed. I searched the wiki for Kaiser but it didn't show anything regarding the files i'm looking for.
I'm using a cooked rom so the files aren't there.
what files do you want? Heres two places to look... and i pulled one from the wiki and the other was a search.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XDA-LiveTiltAddonFiles
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
The wiki didn't provide any links to the programs I really wanted and the thread you listed is the Kaiser cabs. I'm looking for the specific AT&T ones whether it's just one big cab with the files or each program individually.
I'm looking to put back the following things since I won't have to pay for any of it:
PTT
XM Radio
Mobi TV
Music ID
anything else would be ok.

hmmmm.....gimme a few mins and i'll post xm, mobitv, and musicid
Edit:
here you go, cant seem to upload the xmradio cab, keep getting upload failed. these come from the latest 6.1 leaked rom from at&t
this might help..
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/ATT+TILT
i wont flame u..and man do i want too.. but i will say do a DETAILED search next time just like the rest of us..
Thanks for the links so far. I actually found a link through another site and unfortunately not on this one but the MobiTV wasn't working right so I'll try the one posted above.
And YES I did do a detailed search on this site and I couldn't find it. I don't want to spend 30+ min searching for something if someone here knows or has the file links directly already. It helps saves time and that's why we come to forums for.
Plus the site you listed, it DOESN'T have the files I'm looking for. Only thing close is the whole AT&T rom which will include it if I can extract it out of the cab file but what's the point if the cabs already exsist out there. And yes I looked at the links that would seem relevent to what I'm searching for on the HTCWiki. That's not even related directly to this site btw.
Does anyone have the PTT cab? I know most people despise it but I want to use it for work and every rom maker pretty much strips it out.
The easiest way to find most cabs you are looking for are in peoples signatures. Go into my signature under AT&T you might find what you are looking for. **XM Radio and MusicID are installed with Cingular Video** MobiTV will also install, but not work, you will need to also download that seperate**
Awesome! Thanks for that tip, it was exactly what I was looking for. It's so hard to get a straight answer out of someone on forums nowadays.

Except, all of those things do cost extra - the freebie part with AT&T are just for trials (MobiTV is 3 day free trial, PTT needs to be added to your account ($9.99/month), XM Radio needs a subscription, and Music ID is a pay-per-use service ($0.99/song plus data minutes).
Another one that i haven't seen much conversation on through the forums is the Videoshare dialer in the test 6.1 att roms. Has anyone extracted this feature for either OEM Package addition or in a cab form to use on cooked roms? Thanks for any help you can provide.

True, it does cost money, but I said "I don't have to pay for it" and not you don't have to pay for it. I work for AT&T as a sales rep so that's the reason why I don't need to pay for those services. It's a company owned phone.

I'm currently using it now. Only had it less than a full 60 seconds and I'm already blazing through XML files on my TILT.
The actual program is for WM5.0 but I'm running a ROM w/ WM6.5 and it's nooooo problem! Just click the link above and it'll take you to the Save File dialog for the .cab file ^_^ Quick and utterly painless. Only thing I did was go in w/ Total Commander, find an .xml file, go to Properties then associated .xml files w/ the program's .exe =D Might have autoassociated if I opened up the file first but I had previously associated Word Mobile in some attempt to rig up the opening of the file =]
Think you're supposed to buy it but you have 14 days to tinker w/ it. I may see if I can just uninstall/reinstall and see if that clears it. Likely wont but may can find a reg setting for it =] I dont know how much it costs (didn't check that far lol) but I might be very likely to buy it if it doesnt cost very much. It's awfully handy either way!

You missed the entire point to the post. I was simply excited over a functioning mobile XML editor. As of yesterday I had never found a functioning editor that would work with files over a few kbs. So, yeah, I was excited. I get awfully tired w/ moving files back and forth from SD card to PC to simply edit a few strings.
Learn to read in context, friend. The "piracy" thing was a simple side note. I actually prefer open source software but nothing readily available in the mobile XML editor field. So I often "test drive" software via P2P or torrent simply because a 30-day trial is often not enough time to adequately evaluate a program that I may or may not use in the end so I refuse, if given the option, to pay for a program until I fell I have thoroughly tested something I would have to pay cash for. Buyer's remorse, and whatnot, yanno?
Anyways, not saying to crack this (unless you feel like it), just letting folks know we have a very functional editor to add to our mobile arsenal.
So, lighten up, pay attention to the point of the posts and stop whining. =]
Thank you.
MobilePad v2.5 is free, made by an XDA Dev and fully functional in editing .xml
Stylez FTW!
Ha! Good deal! Thanks!
Wasn't aware of it. Looked around in the Search but kept finding threads of folks LOOKING for a workable editor. Thought I had a winner lol But glad to know we have a freebie
Thread's ready to be closed!
Thanks again!

Chinese iphone clone

Hi!
I just got a phone bought in Dubai, that appears to be a iphone clone. The problem however is that i can't figure out which one this is. I've tride to open the phone, read trough the manual, tried MyPhoneExplorer in help of identifing it, with no luck.
Does anyone have any idea about some tools, something to figure this out? I can't even figure out which OS its running.
Yeah, im a newbie.
Thanks in advance.
Welcome to forums
This is an HTC devices only forum, hope someone can point you to the right place but do not expect too much as apart from not being HTC also is a copy
Good luck,
Thanks for your reply
True, i also have a touch diamond, thats why i love this place =)
just threw in a longshot in hope of someone having the knowledge of some tools or any advice at all regarding this strange device.
well what comes up when you plug the phone into your computer? (i'm assuming you have an appropriate cable).
I have several choices i.e mass storage etc, but the COM connection displays as a "MTK6255" which my OS (win7) dont recognize.
MTK6255 is the platform on your phone.
Try using the MTK driver from here:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=540559
might be a meizu m8...i have one
Don't think so. The M8 runs on Windows CE platform as described here:
http://www.techtickerblog.com/2009/02/09/meizu-m8-review/
i think i just found your phone here:
http://www.downtownkey.com/hiphone-3g-music-cell-phone-support-mp3mp4-bluetooth_p7403.html
Note the CPU.
SciPhone?
It might be a SciPhone.
This guy put together a review of a lot of the iPhone clones: http://home.comcast.net/~plutarch/Sciphone-i68.html.
There is a forum for SciPhones, http://www.mysciphone.com/English_Sciphone_Forum/index.php. I'd check that out too.
The MTK processors are really, really, really slow and do not run Windows Mobile.
I have a CiPhone C5, which runs on a 450MhZ Samsung Processor with Windows Mobile 6.1 OS. Much better than any of the phones you'll find at mysciphone.com. xda-developers.com has been amazing for learning how to use and modify my phone.
Welcome to the forum
---------------------
Please guys!
Do not buy copies, they are cheap, bad quality and not long lasting
Buy the original stuff!
Thanks so much for replys guys, really appreciate it.
For the Sciphone i68-3G, its identical in looks, but i dont have any 3,5mm Jack
Whereas to the hiphone, I found this:
"How to find HiPhone firmware version
Call #*44673#1# and press "version info". You should now see the firmware version of your HiPhone."
Which dont work for me...
thesecondsfade: Is the MTK processor really that sucky? I really dont think i will be using this phone anyways, but I really just want to explore and learn as much as i can. But if it is that crap, i guess i cant do anything
I may have forgotten to mention that i found somewhere in the manual where it stated "mini iphoen" "mini iphone". -But aint so mini imo..

I know it's probably not as high quality as some of the other retail phones available on long data/phone contracts with the US cell phone companies, but I just can't afford that. I really wanted a new Windows Mobile phone without having to sign up for an expensive plan to get it... so I bought the CiPhone C5. I did a lot of research before buying it.

I had one for about a month and it was too slow for my tastes. The firmware was flawed as well. There is a website you can upgrade your firmware, but that'll cost you another $40 bucks or so... probably not worth it but you can decide that for yourself.

The Chinese clones are known to be sketchy when it comes to their manuals... or even in their descriptions of what they're selling. Most sellers just try to say whatever they can to sell the phones without really knowing what exactly they're selling.

Hi,
I bought a Chinese phone, a clone of the Blackberry HS 9500 I think (looks like the Blockberry 9500 clone) and it has the Engrish manual as you might expect.
Given that I set my aims before purchase (I wanted a cheap dual SIM and not much else besides a media player, basic camera, bluetooth … couldn't care less about the TV/FM and so on) and, it isn't bad but the media player is fairly rubbish inasmuch as I have no idea how to get it to play a track (pref. a series of tracks).
A colleague, though, intrigued me with talk of alternate OS's for phones and given that its OS is by far the worst part of the phone (not bad but not good either) I wondered if cheap phones of this kind can be given a new OS and, if so, how I go about it?
Thx for any advice

I bought mine from Bigboxstores and within a week it had a dead pixel on screen. I emailed them and said I was returning it for a refund. I packaged it exactly as it was received and it was in mint condition. A whole month went by and I kept emailing them and asking if they had it, eventually they said they did and were checking it. I eventually got an email saying 'sorry no refund, phone works fine, has a few marks on it, thank you'.
No offer to exchange it or anything. I have resigned myself to the fact I have lost my money. Such terrible customer service and using a pony excuse to avoid refunding me. It's not like I'm gonna travel to China to get my money back.
My advice is steer clear of copies and do NOT buy from Bigboxstores as if there is problem with your phone, you will NOT get your money back.
