i'm using it now, so far so good, thanks!
Keeps asking me for a valid internet connection even when I'm on wlan. It's working though... I like it
all I can say is WOW... I saw this technology working on the iPhone and was jealous instantly. Now I can have all that too. I love the business lookup. i am forever trying to find numbers for stuff really quick and it is handy to have maps and directions available as well.
ii cant get past the valid internet screen
no more java midlet... i cant wait to try it. can you mark locations and get directions also?
edit:
i keep getting this annoying error...
"This program requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. In the mean time, please check your signal strength.
(Error: wininetReadError [6])"
and thats with an activesync connection
I just tried it, but found windows live search to be better, it seems more complete

yeah i get that too...its buggy, but its all good...seems to pull up maps quicker than windows live, but live seems more user friendly...
I saw my home with this program, is really good, will be great if another gps program(tomtom, igo, mapopolis...) use this kinds of sat maps. Navteq has very updated the maps in my area, too bad that the program doesn't has more options to cordinate better routes ... Thanks for the link! I never used google before(maps, search don't like it), "Yahoo fan" lol..
No way to bookmark favourites that I can see :-(
Back to MGMaps for me which has more features if a little slow in comparison.
Awesome program! Works outside the US which Live does not.
Did you check out Option > Lookup Contact... so cool.
Windows Live Search for Mobile Devices is MUCH better.

Thanks for the link, will try it right now, will post results later...
google has always been great on features so im sure if you give feedback about the issues you've all been having they will be sure to fix/implement fixes.
issue #1, connection error messages
issue #2, no saving map markers
issue #3, no best route solution
as far as i know, the program has a gps option but i have no gps device to test it with. can someone test it with their gps please and report back.

That's what I got too. Undeleted instantly. Even without this bug, I may also undelete it since the MS live map is still much better.
i like it, but there's no option to display turn by turn direction all at once. But overall, it's all good.
Hmm this was working really well on my old rom. Today I upgraded to 3.3.0.0 and now it won't install. It comes back instantly with "installation of googlemaps.cab was unsuccessful". I've tried redownloading and running it from different locations but I get the same error. This is after a fresh rom install with no other apps.
!! Dig !!
I dig it, very quick rather than live search, not only that but sat images updated every so often is a bonus. I get the error (using wm6) connection but click ok and everything still loads with no troubles. I give google thumbs up on this.
Twice as good on BA if you ask my two cents!
I have a problem.

Go to settings for HTC home weather (where you select city) and de-select autoupdate.
This has been covered in other threads.
ok gonna help you out.. here's what you do:
let it update when u click over and then once it's done click on the town name in the top left of the weather tab. It will take you to "Select City" menu. From there click Menu at the bottom right and go to "Weather Options". Once you're in there, uncheck "Download weather data automatically*"
Actually, you'll find the Auto Update is pants anyway.
Maybe it's city based, but London is never updated, so when I click on it always as to connect to update. This is on a Vario III / TMobile version of the Kaiser.
Found this on the TYTN2 as well.
So, just don't click on Weather, and you'll be fine!

I think you will find this is an operator specific problem and nothing to do with the thread question.

Oh, OK - Any more information on this?
Did T-Mobile disable this part of the HTC Menu?
Will installing a HTC Menu cab fix this?
I realise this is a little off topic, and that my answer was a cheeky swipe and not a helpful answer, but a brief come back would be appreciated.

If you cant update with your operator, no changing of the SW will fix this. Try updating the weather when you have an active WiFi or Activesync internet connection.

Sorry, I have mis-informed you.
It willl update over GPRS, but whenever I click on the Weather tab, it's blank and says "Attempting to download data..." and then connects (GPRS is already connected) and after 8-12 seconds, updates the weather.
This is despite it being set to Auto Update - hence my comment that Auto Update is "pants", and is not going to use data unless you actually click on the weather tab.........
Any idea on how to fix this are greatly appreciated.
It's not a big thing, but it's annoying.
I think it's just using a different definition of "auto update" - it isn't meant to be updating in the background, which seems to be what you're after. In fact, if it did, I suspect many more would complain!
All "auto update" means is that it will go off and get the latest weather if you click on that tab, and it hasn't been updated in the last x minutes. If you don't have "auto update" on, it won't, and you'll have to specifically ask it to.

As far as I know, that is the normal function of the auto update and thats why the originator of the thread is asking why it tries to connect to his non-active GPRS connection when he clicks on it. Auto update is not some form of regular timed update. This method prevents data access usage when you dont need it (costs money to most!).
Autoupdate updates when you select the weather icon or when you connect to the internet via Activesync, when deselected, you have to tell it to update yourself.
Hope that makes sense.

Oh, I See.
Well I know several TYTN2 / Vario3 owners who feel (like I do) that "Auto Update" should be Automatic, not when you trigger (a manual request) it by opening the tab.
I can see that for non flat rates data tarrifs this could become an issue, but then un-checking "Auto Update" would be a sensible option........
However, if that's how it's supposed to work, so be it.
I made a post about this before but never received an answer. I looked for a post in search but found similiar problems but no answers.
How do we stop the lag from clicking on icon to icon in the TF3D menu?
I'll click on an icon and get a huge lag before the screen catches up to whatever icon I clicked on. I did the #1 (and another, can't remember what the number was) mod on the list but it makes TF3D faster but still have the same problem.
It's terrible waiting for the screen to completely open once you click on a icon.
The other problem I have is when I use activesync (mobile device center) to view some pictures I took, when I copy and paste them on to my laptop desktop, they have the wrong date and time stamp on them.
My laptop and cell phone show the correct date and time but when you view the copy and pasted files, the date is a day ahead with a completely different time.
What the hell did I miss to do that? LOL
Thanks guys, fix these two items and this will be the best HTC product I've owned.
Thanks,
Mark
I found that disabling the TF3D phonepad speeds things up allot...
( I forgot where to do that, but do a search and you will find it )
And I have taken away the music tab and the internet tab with 'Diamond TF3D Config'...

Yeah, that's the one I have '1.37.413.3sve' ... but everyone keeps saying how fast everything got after installing a newer one .. so I want to try that...
Not that the ROM I have now is terrible but,
Just me wanting to have everything working perfect...
Recently, I downloaded the latest htc wwe rom for my T-mobile US branded Touch Pro 2. I liked it, but it seemed like there was a lot of crap that just didn't need to be there. So I decided to create my own rom.
This is a solid, STABLE rom, but it's version 1, revision 1. I'll be making changes to this, but so far, it's off to a good start.
To start with:
HTC's latest shipped rom
removed co-pilot gps(choose your own)
removed radio(available as a cab)
removed audio booster(wired headphones what?)
removed facebook app(available as a cab)
removed google maps(available as a cab)
removed windows live(available as a cab)
removed msn messenger(available as a cab)
removed 'getting started'(who needs this?)
removed adobe reader(available as a cab)
removed jetcet presenter(I'll never use it, probably available as a cab)
removed jblend(waste of space for me)
MMS send and receive limits have been set for T-mobile US(no more small pictures)
NOTE: You'll have to manually set the T-mobile MMS Server to http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc (like I said, this is my first revision, this will be set automatically soon)
After a day of use, I idle around 60% memory usage, which isn't too bad. In future revisions, I'll be looking to reduce that number. However, if you disable manila and use the default WM home screen, that drops to about 45%
ROM FTP Link
The username is xda and there's no password.
Instructions are the same for any rom, just make sure you have an activesync connection, and run the rom update utility.
This is my first foray into the rom cooking world. If you like my work, and would like to show your support, consider donating.

Ha! Way to steal my 2nd post! Anyways, I'm working on setting up a download profile on my ftp server for xda users. I should have it done by 1pm eastern time. (that's in my first post, by the way) ;-)
Just to be clear this is based upon the unbranded WWE and you are customizing it for the US TMo or did you somehow get access to the US TMo 6.5 image that has yet to be released?
S
This is the unbranded htc rom. I wouldn't want the t-mobile rom anyways...to much junk in it.

Are you sure you're doing it right? There's a file called SGM10R1.zip in there. I tested it from different locations, it'd definitely there.
Try this: go to internet explorer and paste ftp://[email protected]
You should see the file then. Remember, if it asks for a password, leave it blank and just click ok.
EDIT: My mistake, I forgot to increase the amount of concurrent users on my server, it's usually set at 4. Lol. It should work fine now.
Yup its visible now... When u gonna be dropping v2? Also I believe his question about the kitchen was would u post the one your using.

Probably by the end of the weekend. I have a few tweaks to drop memory usage that I want to put in there, and the facebook sync in contacts isn't working because apparently I removed it by accident. So hopefully sometime before sunday. I'll update the main post when it happens though.
Thanks for the ROM~
Do we need to hard SPL unlock before flashing?

I'm glad you enjoy it. The second revision is basically the same as the first, with some speed enhancements. I JUST found that issue tonight. Apparently when manilla is running it takes over certain aspects of the os, like contacts and calendar. It'll do the same thing if you press 'all people' in the 'people' tab. I'm not sure why, because I didn't mess with any of the contact stuff. I'll keep you posted though.
also i forgot to mention that the gps is not working when i try to use google maps and the my location either. i dont know if its turned off.

I haven't experienced this problem. As a matter of fact, I was using tomtom the other night to get myself to a friend's wedding. If this is your first time using the gps after you flashed, run quick gps and then open google maps and make sure 'use gps' is selected. Then just leave it on the window sill for a few minutes(making sure it isn't sleeping). The first gps fix can take a few, even with quick gps.
Though, I will say the touch pro 2 is very slow to get a gps fix in general. My tilt was faster. :-/
ok I'm doing that as I type this to you. so you telling me that your my location works fine on your home screen. and also my alt key doesn't work on the keyboard
Yes. My location is 100 percent functional. The only reason I can see that it wouldn't work is if it can't find your actual location...but I'm not even sure that's possible, as it uses a different database for that. Does it not show up at all, or does it show 'my location', and then the weather data?
nope nothing still i did the quick gps and then left it on google maps for about 8min now and still searching for satelite at times it says updating location but then quickly goes back to searching for satelite
do any of the chef know what package are required to make the My Location Weather Clock to work?
It's actually more simple than that. Download this radio:
4.49.25.17 - Rapidshare Mirror - HTC
This allows you to use 3G to get the "My Location." Previous radios only allowed for "Edge" updates to your location.
Actually, turn off 3G so that only Edge is working and try to update your location (with your current radio).
But after this you can't update through Edge anymore only 3G...
my location
Hello;
If you mean seeing weather info and animation in the home screen instead of My location , easily click on the watch and it will direct you to world clock Then choose your state instead of my location.But be sure that you have already added your city from the weather screen.Then go back and back then hope it works
It seems that this feature is confusing people rather than being usefull, a solution was proposed here but for some reason did not work on my set.
The bad news is that GSMarena.com are saying that the location is locked from the first startup and can't be changed (details), if so, there should be a registry key to fix the issue, right?
I don't think you guys understand my question. what I'm asking is what packages do I need to get the My Location Weather Clock to work. I got it figured out. thanks anyway.

Are you still running the Clean Stock ATT ROM? If so, how did you get the weather to show on the home page? I too have been trying to figure this out. Thank you in advance.
