Could have been a issue for being around too many buildins, strange...

----

Does may appear off-topic, but I assure you its about THIS specific rom.

I tested this ROM (and liked it), but now I'm back on my old Qtek S100 (magician) and miss the nice ringtones this rom had..

I miss specifically the classical rings (midis ?) and the sms alert on a woman voice with a British accent...

Could any kind soul upload these to a rapidshare website or so?

I'd really appreciated... Thank you.

anybody using the GPS Rom experience any problems together with UMTS?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] waldeis:
in a german forum, sombody told that he has a new htc p3600 from htc direct (australia) with a gps enabled wwe rom:

http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=104937

ROM version: 1.24.709.2

ROM date: 01/14/07

Radio version: 1.31.01.15

Protocol version: 34.68.7030.08K
[P3600 Software Upgrading] lts:
On top of that he claims it has got radio!

Everybody else is asking for confirmation of that :-)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Matterhorn:
Well that means that ROM is only 3 weeks old and he already has the device in his hands. I guess it is possible.:rolleyes: I hope it's true!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] NLS:
erm... ok if it also has FM radio somehow, I am buying tomorrow...

I hope they can find the guy and maybe guide him to dump the ROM!

So what is P3600 vs P3600 Pro? Not much I found in the Net, just some italian link of someone selling a Pro.

Why isn't there ANY info by HTC I wonder. :(
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Matterhorn:
Mine was one of the first ones made and it came in a black box that has Pro written in the left top corner. I think they all say that.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] lts:
Yeah, mine also came in a box that said 'Pro'.

I don't think it really means anything regarding the device inside.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] lts:
The guy with the "Australian WWE rom" just posted again in the German forum, and he again says it has radio:

"Radio (ja, das über das Headset) funktioniert so lala (Irgendwie muss man da noch an den Einstellungen für die Frequenzen arbeiten)."

German is not my first language, but it means more or less:

"Radio (yes, the one through the Headset) is working so so (Now and then you have to work with the setting of the frequency)."
[P3600 Software Upgrading] NOKIAS:
I am from portugal, and i have been reading this post since it born, because i bougth a p3600 (that says pro in the box, but think they all say that) in the day that the test rom was released! (lucky)

I tried to communicate with somone portuguese that has already upgraded his p3600 / trinity with test rom and have found 1 guy here.

My phone was locked to vodafone (26801) and i wanted to use other provider and activate de gps on it, but afraid to loose waranty, i've contacted "novabase" whos is the supplyers of portugal and they tell me that the Oficial Gps rom will be released in the htc site and will be avaliable to download during the February month.

They told that phone looses waranty if i changed its rom to a non oficial rom, but when i asked that, i've asked 3 thins:

1- if loose waranty because of unlock the provider

2- if loose waranty because of chage it to superCID

3- if loose waranty because use another rom.

They only tell that they cannot be responsable of an ROM that was not provided from them.... so i deduce that unlocking (provider / CID) does no make to loose the waranty.

But to have the absolute sure about that i've asked again if unlock does no mather....

I've recived an answer from a Stupid Asshole, tht i am abolute sure that was not the same person who was responding to my emails before. That asshole said that the phone can only be unlocked from the provider, that looses waranty if anithing is changed like netword lock, CID, rom and more tests!!! He also says that have to use only vodafone firmwares, otherwise losses waranty!

(I've been an unlocker of nokia, siemens and sonyericsson at a few years and for those brands does not matter if firmware its original, if its unlocked or that things. I've send to waranty many phones of many people whos phones were completed flashed to unlock and to put original things like images and menus, because the things that the providers put in the phones were verrrryyyyyy ugly, and did not ever ever had problems)

So, I thinked to myself.... If unlock the phone makes it loose the waranty, and if I need to use another provider, so be it! I have to do that to use my sim card! So if it makes loose the waranty, than i have not to be waiting from the Original Update from the Provider!!!!

If not.... If i only loose waranty if change the rom (and does no matter if is unlocked or not), than i can update my phone with the Oficial ROM when it be released, and get back the Waranty!

Then,i Have unlocked it and use the rom that was released here, and i am verry glad and it works perfectly (so far)!

Now, that i am reading the this last page... and if its true that Oficial Release is Out an with Radio FM...... I only say... WWWAaaaaUuuuuuuu!

Hope that its true!

Sorry for may bad english!

Finally decided to bite the bullet - with the uncertain timeline for an HTC branded GPS Rom - and try this Dopod Rom...

This thing ROCKS! If you are considering upgrading to this before the official release, don't hesitate (unless you don't want to pay the $40 USD for the CID unlock or are concerned about all this warranty talk) - you're just missing day after day of having fun with the fully functional (unless this FM radio thing pans out) version of possibly the best PDA phone ever made!

Sorry if I sound like an HTC fanboy...but as I sit here INSIDE MY HOUSE and look at my GPS fix (obtained in about 60 sec without a clean view of the sky)...I am right now!!!

By the way, if anyone wants any head to head (albeit low tech) comparisons of the P3600 to the P3300, let me know soon...because this new rom just sent my Artemis to Ebay!!!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] paulyboy:
If anybody could clarify some things for me, I would really appreciate it.

I have an HTC P3600 branded phone purchased in the USA. I am currently using it with Vodafone in New Zealand. Everything works very well.

Is it ok to use the dopod rom in this HTC branded phone (eg: does it work with dopod branded phone only)?

Can anyone tell me where do I find someone to perform the CID unlock?

Is it possible to roll back to the original rom if this doesn't work out? Anybody know where that is available for USA HTC branded or can it be extracted from the phone?

Are the HTC branding and applications etc retained? I'm guessing not - so does it change to dopod? If so, is there any difference?

Thanks.,

Pauly

BTW, this is a damn good forum!

GPS in Flight Mode?

Has anyone tried using GPS when the cellular radio is off (flight mode)?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] leecotton:
GPS doesn't work in flight mode.

It looks like it doesn't work if the phone is turned off (flight mode). This is kinda strange as it doesn't even need the phone component, but I guess that flight mode shuts down many communication components, so the GPS no longer functions.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] wishmaster82:
but if you start gps with tomtom or other programs and then active the Flight Mode the GPS continue to work... I have test it this morning.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Anubis1965:
I did it!!!

Hello All,

Just to let you I know I have yesterday night changed the ROM of my P3600 and I am an happy owner of a GPS-enabled phone. Some notes about my experience:

1) The SuperCID worked like a charm. I had to pay but it was worth it.

2) flashing the new test ROM was okay. Hint: don't be an idiot like me and forget to back-up your pictures and phone numbers before doing it :-(

3) I had two GPS applications already installed: GPSInfo and TomTOm 6. Both recognized the GPS immediately (GPS on COM9) and without problems

4) No need to have bluetooth turned on to see COM9. May be off and on.

5) The internal GPS is *good*!!!! I get a fix in 5-10 seconds and the number of satellites detected is perfectly fine (8-9, I live in Switzerland). While driving I may loose the signal inside long tunnels, but that is a fact of life, no GPS can really work indoor.

Things that I do not like:

1) the "test rom" message which appears rebooting the phone (yeah, I know it is not a big deal after all...), but I hope the new ROM will fix it (hopefully an official HTC one)

Things yet to test:

1) make/receive phone calls while TomTom is running (the P3600 is connected via bluetooth to my car radio)

2) monitor the battery duration

Cheers,

Anubis
[P3600 Software Upgrading] HalibutMcGaffigan:
A quick update for the people in the UK. I've just been on to Orange, as my loyalty bonus is next week, and enquired as to when the M700 is released and whether it has GPS activated.

The response was it's available late February/early March, and basically, the way the 'phone was described to me, it does have GPS activated and also comes with some form of Orange mapping software.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] The_Stranger:
Totally agree with you here... unlocming might cost you a bit of cash, but apart from that, it's easy as 1,2,3

I do have far different experiences, as I have posted allready. Both in and out of my car very slow fixes and very few satelliets... Workable, but a pain in the behind sometimes, and sometimes unworkable when no fix for 5 minutes or more, of driving between high buildings, like a mayor city (where I really need the damn thing :) )

Ah well, it's only there for 20 secs maximum?

Other thing I noticed, sometimes GPSinfo will not start and tomtom will not get a fix. It looks like the GPS subsystem got stuck. A soft reset will allways help, but before that, no program that uses GPS will even start, apart from tomtom, but that one will not get a fix ever when that happens

Apart from the bluetooth thing, that will work like a charm. Don;t have bluetooth to my radio, so can't comment on that

Duration is long enough for me. An hour and a half of navigation (with or without stand alone GPS), some phone calls and an hour of surfing (on UMTS and on WIFI) and the battery is still at 60% at least...
[P3600 Software Upgrading] psargent:
Just spreading this around. A great tip from mentox that allows the GPS icon is settings to be seen which allows you to change the hardware com port and software com port. I tried it - I works!!! :D
[P3600 Software Upgrading] speederi:
Where/how can I download the test rom? The links don't work (at me)... :( :confused:
[P3600 Software Upgrading] jawis:
Look in your device memory or storage memory (where ever you were planning to install Mapking). You might find the CAB file there. Click on it and it should continue with installation.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] alvinlim28:
GPS Icon works!!

Hi, just to let everyone know, I've updated my D810 to this new WWE test ROM and everything worked very well!! I've followed the instruction to enable the GPS Icon and YES it works! See attachment below.

This baby ROCKS!! It keeps getting better and better everyday ... So much functionality built into 1 small sexy form factor ... now, if only there is an upgrade to make this device 256Mb ;-)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] alvinlim28:
GPS Photo

Oh, I've forgot to mention that this new ROM include GPS Photo. See thumnail below ... no explanation required.

The GPS satellite lock on is very fast. I am able to get 8 satellite lock on in less than 15 secs (on first load up after ROM upgrade)!!

Btw, additional feature of this ROM is that the 3G icon will change to 'H' if you connect (data connection) in a HSDPA area! Wow ... cool! I suspect this is due to the Radio version (newer) which is included in this upgrade.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] alvinlim28:
MapKing Installation

You may also want to check the target area where you are installing have enough memory. If you are installing from PC to main memory you need double of what the installation file size is. E.g. if installation cab file is 23mb, you need at least 46Mb of free space in the target area (Main memory or Storage).

The reason for this is that the installation cab file must be copied over into the target memory before installation can start. If you do not have enough memory, the installation will fail halfway.

Upgraded to latest testrom today, but have an really annoying popup that comes every 5 minute, says STK Service and in the window it's my vendors name Telenor SE, if i choose OK Then a Vodafone Menu comes up and there can I choose "Settings" and it says that some service settings will be sent to my phone. But nothing really happen, The message comes up again and again, is there any way to stop this STK Service or anything else?

[P3600 Software Upgrading] alvinlim28:
Backup between different ROM

I would not recommend a full backup & restore between different ROMs especially registry settings (maybe database also).

It is always recommended to install from scratch once you upgraded to new rom. Hey, I've done 16 new installations since I upgraded last two week. it has become my routine (maybe habit) and it gets easier every time.

You can use to backup and restore if you decide to go back to the same Rom you backup from.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] NLS:
dltrip this is an english speaking forum.

As for the backup. I also don't suggest it, but I have to say something else I have noticed in my PocketPC history (which is rather long).

About 80% of the software I use for pocketpc, still work after hard-reset and clean registry. I sometimes loose settings but I can redo them. Only programs that really need to be active after boot time (like pocketplus, agenda fusion etc.) need reinstall. In fact I PREFER it that way - for every program I find that doesn't need registry or a real "install", I use it like that (I always have full file backups of my cards).

So even for me (with about 400MB of active software -I was many times a beta tester and once also a reviewer-, NOT data - think that my "programs" folder has 9 subfolders), it is not THAT hard to redo everything (not easy either - but I think MOST of people here will have an easier time).

No, Tytn do not have GPS inside and if you falsh it with this ROM you will probably BRICK your device.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Borbosch:
Wrong! Tytn has GPS Chip inside, read in the Tytn Forum and you will see. Some people have flashed the tytn with the gps enabled rom and it works, but i don't know if its the dopod rom or if it's a modificated version of the rom...

Tks for that good info!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] NLS:
half right

you see, it doesn't work

seems something is missing and this something could be hardware (like an antenna or whatever)

in any case next tytn, htc kaiser will have GPS anyway
[P3600 Software Upgrading] anonimo:
Sorry for the late answer..... The popup is caused by the fact that Telenor is detecting that your GPRS settings are wrong (you are possibly trying to use a wrong APN) and sending an auto-configuration message which doesn't work in WM devices. If you fix your GPRS settings you should no longer receive that message.

Have you IMEI unlocked your HTC P3600? If not the Dopod Rom most likely will not work. Link to unlock service: http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m700unlock.php (it will cost 20 GBP)

There is no other workaround at the moment.

At the moment there is no official HTC ROM (other than Asian dopod version) that supports the GPS. HTC have not confirmed any date or if they ever will release a GPS activated firmware.
