[Q] Htc Location For HTC One - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone,
First I would like to apologize for my English because it is not very good
Few years ago, I bought a license for An Europe map for the app HTC location (for my Desire HD).
I bought a HTC One the next week and i wanted to use my license with HTC location.
I did not find this application on my new phone !
I opened a case to HTC support and ROUTE66 support, and both said me that i must buy another OFFLINE GPS APPS.... because this app can't be install on this phone...
My question is, is it possible to install this app on the HTC One ? My phone is branded (Bouygues Telecom) and not rooted with Bouygues Telecom ROM.
PS : I don't want to use Google maps because it's an ONLINE GPS APP.
Thank you very much for your answers.
Best regards,
Dalto.

As far as I know without rooting you won't be able to install an unsupported app, if you rooted it then you could possibly tweak it to work but there would probably be easier ways to get it then

If i root my phone, how install this app ?

No idea for my question ?

Since HTC Locations uses Route 66 I wonder if there is a way to transfer licenses so that you can just install the Route 66 app and use your transferred HTC map licenses. May be worth an email to both to ask. I'm in the same situation as you so will make the same request.

Hi,
I opened a Service request to ROUTE66.
You could find below the answer :
Hello Mr. XX,
Thank you for your reminder. We do our best to answer in no more than 48 hours. At the moment we can assist you in English or we will use the translation tool, because support in other languages is not currently available. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
Indeed, we have also released an application compatible with Android devices, it is called ROUTE 66 Maps + Navigation. However, HTC Locations and ROUTE 66 Maps + Navigation are two distinct navigation products, each with its own navigation content and different map provider. Therefore the transfer of license is not supported.
The best what we can do is either transfer your Locations license to another HTC model running with Location app or to offer you, in appreciations of your commitment to ROUTE 66 products, a 25% discount when purchasing a new ROUTE 66 product.
The 25% discount applies to the existing ROUTE 66 customers upon receipt of the proof of purchase of a previous ROUTE 66 product. The 25% discount can be provided only when ordering via e-mail using the bank transfer method, not by accessing the online store.
Please send the following details to receive instructions on how to order a discounted license:
I. Proof of purchase of the previous ROUTE 66 Product.
II. The IMEI number / Device ID number on which the previous ROUTE 66 product was activated.
III. The new ROUTE 66 product and license you wish to purchase at the 25% discounted price.
We look forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards,
ROUTE 66 Support Team

ATT Tilt GPS Maping in Europe?

Does anyone know of a software package I can load with individual maps for different countries in Europe. I want something that is phone based as I don't know if I will have network access.

You can purchase European maps for TomTom.
-Jay
I'm going to be spending 10+ days in Italy at the end of this summer so I'm planning on using my Tilt and TomTom to help guide me around the old country. I haven't yet SIM unlocked my Tilt, but I'm going to and then get a pre-paid SIM once I get there. I'll just toss like 20 euros on the SIM and pay by the kb for data (which is really cheap from what I can tell).
I was in Italy last summer and used tomtom on my then 8525. TomTom was amazing. Wife and I drove through wine country in chianti and punched in addresses of vineyards and never got lost.
Finding the right address was the challenge. Once you have the right address, TomTom had every road imaginable, even small dirt roads.

Purchasing Diamond US 3G

What's up guys.
Well Unfortunately, but fortunately for others, I broke my HTC S710 screen so I am in need of an new cellphone. I am switching forum sections now hahaha.
I was looking to purchase this phone, as I heard with a few tweaks (ROM Flash, registry tweaks), it's phenomenal.
Where could I purchase this phone in Canada (internet or store or wtv). I know in stores, the price will probably be excessive, so I'm looking for stores online where you bought yours from!
Rogers is offer the NAM 3G version @$199 with 3yr contract. Check their web site.
Yea was about to get it, but 199$ is for new customers only...
For me they said if i wanted to get it, 349.99+tx/3yr... screw that
edit: it's all about finding the right person who's willing to do it

[Q]Swapping from Flexpay to Post Payment

So im on an Even More Plus plan (no contract) and Im in a flexpay payment plan. I want to change to a post payment plan so that I can utilize google voice as a voice mail client and a few other things. I keep getting the run around when calling tmobile, some tell me that you cant have a post payment plan off contract and other say you can. I keep getting disconnect (by them not me) when i get someone who says I can mix a post payment with a even more plus.
So perhaps someone here can help me, can you have a post payment plan off contract (Even more plus) ?

I am looking for the very same answer. I was on the phone with T-Mobile and they told me I have to wait 6 months before I could even attempt to change my account. My credit is not worthy I am told.
Any further answers on the T-Mobile No Contract Plans is appreciated.
Miss using my Google Voice services directly with my Nexus One on T-Mobile.
Yes... I am not on a contract on an Even More Plus plan, and I pay at the end of the month.
To switch over from flex pay to post paid with the no contract even more plus plan you need to have had your service activated for at least 6 months, your account must be in good standing with on time payments each month, and you have to be on the list they have for people that are eligible to switch (you should be on the list if you meet all the above criteria).
When I called up customer service to make the switch they said that I was not on the list yet because I was in my 6th month of service. They said the only way I could make the switch is if they run a credit check and give me a new phone number. I argued for quite a while that I would not switch my number but would be willing to have a credit check run. I got no where with that so I went to my local Tmobile store.
The people at the tmobile store were very helpful and came up with an elaborate work around that involved them being on the phone with customer service for over an hour. They ran my credit, created a new account for me (with a new number) and set it up on post pain even more plus. Then they canceled my old account, ported my old number to the new account and now I'm good to go.
In hind sight, if I had known it was going to be such a difficult process I would have waited another month to wait for my name to show up on the eligible list (they were pretty sure my name would show up at the beginning of my 7th month of service).
If you are already on the eligible list then the process should be relatively painful. I would recommend going into an actual tmobile store; they seem to have the ability to accomplish many more things, especially in unique situations like mine.
So, yes you can switch from no contract prepaid even more plus to no contract post paid even more plus one way or another so that you can use conditional call forwarding and Google Voicemail.
Good to know that flex pay doesn't allow google Voice because I use it religiously while I am at work with no service. It's nice to get missed call notifications via WiFi and able to listen to the messages without having service.
Nice feature.
That's actually why I left T-Mobile. I couldn't use GV, which is incredibly cool. That and it took forever to lock onto my location, even when outside. This was all on my N1. Went back to the evil that is AT&T.
I am able to Israel gv with even more plus with no problem. They only thing not allowed is to have forward calls

Yup, and I meet all the criteria, and perhaps just going to a tmobile store will be better then trying to call 611.
Ok, so on finally getting a rep that speaks clear English I was able to find out that I dont qualify for post pay because my 7 months of perfect payment history don't meet the 6 months requirement. Huh? So I guess i gotta wait a month cause their eligibility only updates once a month and they are always behind by a month?
Anyone else have experiences with this ummm....predicament?

[Q] Streak and voice calls on At&T

Hey there,
I want a tablet I can make and receive cell calls on (not with SKYPE).
It's seems this is possilble with the streak 7 from reading other posts.
But searching did not reveal any posts specific to my needs.
But nowhere on Dell's site does it specify this ability.
Also Dell's site says its for T-mobile.
I have At&T now and would like to stay with them (1.5 yrs left on contract).
Can one of you please confirm this is possible?
I believe I would at least have to unlock my SIM.
What other steps\software would I need.
Thanks in advance!
You can't period

The T-Mobile Streak 7 will also work with AT&T on 3G once unlocked. However, the modem's firmware does not support voice calling atm. So unless T-Mobile releases updated modem firmware that supports this function, it will not happen which is unfortunate. It's possible they will add this function with the honeycomb update, but that remains to be seen.
I've been searching for further information about this, but there is very little information out there. Probably due to the fact that the modem is a fairly new model (EM820U). Maybe someone with experience with baseband reversing can check it out?

You'll need Galaxy Tab for that, though keep in mind that you'll have to use either a wired headset or a speakerphone.

....or bluetooth headset.....BTW, my Euro model works perfect as a phone! No additional flashing was required!
Later............
What are you using for a SIM.
do you know if US AT&T SIM will allow calls.
I would pay the extra to have one device.
Thanks
download and install grooveip from android market; using google voice account you can now make and receive calls... Grooveip is 4 bucks, but worth it.

Visiting New York, where can I buy HTC One over there?

Hi Guys!
First of all, my apologies for opening this thread, I've searched the forum and haven't really found the information that I'm looking for, so I'm wondering if you could assist me on this subject.
I'll be visiting New York next 24/08 and I'm really looking forward to purchasing a HTC ONE. Basically I want to purchase a phone that works on my home country (Portugal), so I guess I should be looking for an unlocked model.
I did some research on the WEB and I'm having trouble to find a place (in NYC) to purchase it. Could you please indicate if it can be purchased in store? I believe I read somewhere that some carriers over there sell it unlocked but still, I would have to sign up for a 2-year contract.
I also found that I can be bought from htc.com (best price I've found so far) but the problem is that I do not have a US credit card. Do you know of site (?) that can simulate an american credit card? As mI'm staying there with friends, posting the item to their adress wouldn't be a problem.
My last question (and thanks for having read this far, ! ), upon buying the device, is its warranty worlwide or would I have to buy an extended warranty (if possible?)?
Many thanks for helping me and for your advices on this.
Best Regards,

Hello,
When you get to New York, go into any Wal Mart or big store and buy a Visa gift card for the amount of the phone. Note that the price that you see on the website DOES NOT include tax or shipping. You see see the final total at the very end of checkout right before you enter payment method. Then, you can go online and register the card to whatever address you are staying at becuase HTC will only ship the phone to the address on the card. You do this at the wesbite on the back of the card. Once you have done that, you can go to the HTC website and but the phone and have it shipped to the address that you are staying at.
Hope this helps!
Look up HTC limited warranty
It states that the warranty is only enforceable and valid in countries where the phone is sold. So... You might want to shoot HTC an email.
Hey Guys!
Thanks so much for the above.
One question though, do you think it's best to order it though HTC or can I buy it unlocked in store??

First of all there's no Walmart in New York, second, when you by from HTC's online store, you don't have to pay any taxes. If I'm not wrong, only if you live in California or Texas you have to pay taxes, I'm not really sure about any other state but I'm 100% sure that it doesn't apply for New York state. Just be carefull about the shipping time if you want to buy directly from HTC (you said you're visiting NY, not moving out here). Also, you can find unlocked gsm ONEs at T-Mobile or AT&T stores but in this case, yes you have to pay taxes and they come with all the branding crap but it shouldn't be an issue if you're planning to flash a cooked ROM. Good luck!

Hi Pirateye!
I appreciate your advices. I see that on the HTC web site the sell different modelo, the 'normal' One and the GE One.
Could you possible recomend One based on your experience with yours?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You can either get those gift cards (there is an activation fee on most) or you can ask your friend to help you out and pay for it. I can't answer your question about warranty as I'm not sure myself.
However, I've purchase my HTC One Developer Edition on a Saturday night and chose 2 day shipping (~$9). The stand shipping is about $5, so if you're in a rush, just pay the extra $4. Also, no tax. Since it was on the weekend, it didn't ship out until Monday and arrived on a Wednesday. (I live in NYC).
There are no Walmarts in NYC. The closes is in Long Island but I don't know how well stock that Walmart is or if they even have the HTC One. ATT doesn't seem to have the 64gb in stores and if they do, they are charging $700 and you'll have to pay tax. And I'm not sure how much it will cost you to unlock the phone (probably $20).
It cost 580 for the 32 Tmobile version but I don't recommend that since you live oversea so that extra band probably doesn't mean much to you. The developer editions $650 for 64gb.

So far, I've had my HTC One for about 2-3 weeks now, and have no issue (it doesn't appear I have issues with gaps or anything wrong with the screen). I prefer a bit of a smaller screen and removable battery but the phone is just beautiful. The battery life is amazing, I can go about 24 hours on the phone before I need to charge (with about 3-4 hours of heavy usage).
The normal One comes with HTC Sense while the GE comes with stock Android (as seen on Nexus phones). I bough mine in April, so is the "normal one". I also flashed a GE Rom a while ago but I came back to Sense. From my point of view Sense is cooler meaning that you have more features but others might like plain Android flavor. Just do a search on YouTube for HTC One Sense vs Google Edition.

Still, can you recomend a physical Shop where I can find unlocked smartphones at Good prices in New York?

He should be able to use his phone in Portugal but never hurts to check the frequency.
Let us know how it went eventually.

I agree .
US models operate on different bands from EMEA (European Middle East and Africa)
GSM,GPRS,EDGE (2g) : 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (USA & EMEA)
UMTS,HSPA (3g) :
900/1900/2100 MHz (EMEA)
850/AWS/1900/2100 MHz (USA T Mob)
850/950/2100 MHz (USA A T & T)
LTE (4g)
800/1800/2600 MHz (EMEA)
700 MHz/AWS (USA AT&T, T Mob)
I would urge you not to buy in USA if you want full use in Portugal or any other European countries.
There are posts on xda from people who bought in USA and had problems of not all phone and data bands working in their home country.
In addition to difficulties with warranty, likely none
