Its a shame but it looks that way.

Hopefully if we can flash a radio with it already enabled it may come to life.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] hwieen:
Just installed the GPStest,

got 2 -3 satellite for few times then just disappear, still don't have a fix.

when I open using COM7 the blue led flashing but no bluetooth turn on, nothing happen.

will keep trying....

I'm in APAC.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] t0p0gigi0:
Well..... I don'nt think it's a lost cause ;)

Keep the good working guys. If you need my help in anything, tell me please because I have a Touch Dual. I can make tests.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] J273:
Im still hopeing with future radio updates it may become fully usable.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Pawel062:
i hate to burst ur bubble but if no one here can get more than 3 satellites it means theres really no hope bc a antenna is missing like it was on hermes.

there will be some ways for people to get a lock maybe once in a long while when they find a way to get the chipset to get the best possible signal but it wont be anywhere near usable with so little satellites.

someone needs to look at a hardware mod and see if its plausable.

maybe quickgps might help u guys a bit.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] IceHack:
hi guys...

I downloaded the file to GPS...

can someone explain me how to set?

I'd like to see if i can get more than 3 satellites!

hope!

thanks

I have tried the gps packet but appear not working, I don't now if I have wrong something, it's possible to explain better the system or create a mini guide? I work frequently with electonic and i can try to create an antena o to connect it.

On Kaiser QPST Explorer errors out with "The phone you have chosen does not support an embedded file system. Do you wish to cancel the connection to this phone?"

I think it'll be same on Niki and other QC based HTC phones.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] GpsPasSion:
hum...while it would be nice get the internal GPS working, using a Bluetooth GPS is still a good option, better reception (larger antenna than on a phone) and better battery life !
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] ducamie:
i think internal gps is much easier. i never take around a bluetooth gps reciver around with me but always have my phone. it would be so much handier to have the gps inbuilt.

for my own car however i agree, an external reciver is a good option.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jvieira:
well. I don't see myself using a GPS outside my car. Just can't see any possible usage for it.

I'll get a Bluetooth external GPS and just leave it in my car ... so whenever I need it, it'll be there (would prefer have an internal one though)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jennec:
Exactly. I use the following. Very handy in all instances. Stays on my keychain and can be used whilst walking around or driving.

GPS external antena Conector found inside of Niki

Heloo

I just get today my Dual toutch....

Inside under the cover

I found the conector for external GPS antena

....:)and I have a external antena from my P3300.

Surprise > the batery cover does not have a hole coresponding to the conector...i will have to drill a hole or use the Niki without the battery cover...

Look at the picture - the conector is the golden...

I will install tomtom and test it. Need help instaling the software for making the internal gps working....can someoane post a guide and a link where I can download the software pleasee.

I will get back to you with info tomorow.

Any Ideas? If yes post them .
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Joost39:
Come on - test it now......
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Midget_1990:
thats an external gsm antenna connector...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] pabcb:
hi, any results?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] AlexTM:
it looks exactly like the GPS antena connector from my P3300 and the GPS antena fits perfectly on the conector....

more ...why the cover hole is missing ??
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] GpsPasSion:
have you tried the GPS tools posted a couple of weeks ago ? You can worrty later about "downloading" TomTom...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Midget_1990:
well if it works then i take it all back ;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] pabcb:
sorry, but, the antenna might fit , why don´t you test it.

that doesnt mean hat it will work.

waiting for news...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] DaVince:
I seriously doubt this will work, but if it does.. the Niki will definitely kick Polaris' and Kaiser's arses.. LOL :D
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Dagnelinos:
excuse me, but is possible to see an internal photo of polaris or p3300-3600?

Please direct me to the GPS tool posted .I cant find them and at work I have a tight deadline, so i do not have much time. I will test the gps tonight , but i need to know exactly what software (maybe drivers) I have to add to the operating sistem and what gpas tolls I have to use to see how many satelites i get to fix.

Thanks in advance friends.

AlexTM, any update on the situation?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] pabcb:
sorry, but for what i have seen, the place where you say that as an gps antenna connection is the connection for an external GSM/DCS/UMTS antenna.

But if you try and this worls teel us something...

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] AlexTM:
Update on the situation :

I installed IGO- the navigation sistem , GPS Tuner and GPS Toos.

All tree softwares coud not detect the GPS inside the NIki.

With IGO the software said not detected, tried a litle time more on the COM7 port and at the end - no result. even with manual seting on COM 7 - no result.

If I understood corectly com7 is the bluetooth port, ... ????

Gps Tuner said after searching for 1,5 minutes - no GPS found. !

GPS tols - asked me- "Is it a Qualcomm chip ?" I said Yes, then nothing, no fix, no satelites---i have to say that i vas on my balcony and outside was raining a lot.

On SMD7 port nothing- on COM 7 port nothing.

My personal belief is that the Gps hardware is inside the NIKI but we have a software barier witch prevent users to use it. Even if we get a fix with more then 3 satelites using GPS tool if the navigation software (in may case IGO, i did not try TOm TOM) can not see the Gps we are back to zero.

Maybe in the future the upgrades to the Radio Rom will free the gps.

If someoane is using TOM TOm please let us know if the software can detect the GPS inside the Niki.

Thanks
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] DaVince:
I think it's like a PC motherboard that supports SLI PCI-E x16 8800 GTX Ultra video cards but the only video card plugged in is an old PCI 2.0 voodoo card.

Of course you can see settings of SLI and PCI-E x16 on the BIOS, but without the proper video card hardware, it doesn't matter how you change the those settings.

In other words, the board supports it, that's why you can see settings for it. But the GPS hardware is not plugged in.

HTC is not stupid enough to put a GPS hardware on a touch dual and just leave it there doing nothing. Just give me one good reason why they would do that.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] neXus519:
Decrease the price of the Niki / Polaris by using same chips and sell the niki cheaper than the polaris.

To remember : qualcomm chip support both wifi & gps... if you buy it for 2 devices it's really cheaper (more you buy less you pay)

I'm following this topic since it began. GPS is avaible in hardware, some software pieces are missing and... there is no built in antenna (and I don't think there is a connector to an external antenna because it should be quite easy for htc to put the software on it and sell external antenna to be able to use the GPS BUT they want to sell Polaris)

The only way, I think, to get this GPS working a day, is to modify the hardware an solder a connector.

If the Niki was full GPS compliant (with external antenna compatibility) there were no reason for HTC to sell the polaris. (same plateform just GPS & Wifi working)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] ducamie:
also to release the niki before christmas without getting gps and wifi working.

Tried to buy a P3300 antenna yestarday but everyone was out of stock, can the poster with the antenna plug it in, try it with GPS Tools and report back to put this question to bed ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] DaVince:
@Nexus and ducamie

Errrr.. are you saying that the Nike and Polaris (almost) have identical hardware components inside... but Nike's GPS/Wifi is just turned off via software/drivers?

It's like selling 2 identical laptops just with different chassis and just turned off some components on the other one just to have a reason to sell the other. That doesn't sound right.

I guess the perfect analogy would be that the Nike and Polaris have the same motherboard and processor, but the Nike doesn't have a Wifi card on the PCI slot (same analogy goes for GPS).

I'm sorry if I'm speaking in terms of Desktop PC's, I just don't know how to call them on PPC terms.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] DaVince:
Ok.. just to rephrase..

The Nike Qualcomm board supports onboard GPS, but there is no GPS plugged-in on it. Period.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] lostsoul:
ok, so there's no hope.

well to bad, but we all knew we bought a pda without gps ;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Midget_1990:
I'm sorry but you mis-understand its a qualcomm Chip not a GPS and the chip cannot have things 'plugged in'. I'm afraid that this means your analagy makes no sense :)

Just to clarify: There IS GPS and WIFI hardware inside the Nike, however if we can enable this via software or hardware hacks remains to be found.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] AlexTM:
I already try it with GPS tolls and no results....not on port COM 7 not on port SMD7...

More....if my navigation software- IGO cannot detect the Gps what good is it for?? for nothing ! Never tried Tom Tom...

Gps is inside but is cripled by software...maybe in the future it will be unlocked...but until then

please recommend me a good bluetooth GPS.

:mad:
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] GpsPasSion:
There might some "driver" issue though, because I don't think any GPS app can connect on that "SMD7" port. In fact I tried the GPS tools on the Kaiser and they work, but not on the Cruise, it won't connect on SMD7 so there might be some minute differences anyway.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] DaVince:
...well.. yeah.. Qualcomm was just a brand name for the processor/board.. or whatever. The analogy still makes sense.. you just have to.... errr.. nevermind...

If Midget says that there is GPS and Wifi on the Nike.. then I'm a believer. I hope you guys find a way to get it working.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] lordbye:
hi,

i've used a memorex (external) antenna (that i use on a nokia 6680) and i set it on com 0, on com 7 'have no signal..
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] GpsPasSion:
COM0? You should use the GPS Tools with SMD7

I think the 6680 would have a GSM antenna not a GPS antenna, different frequency! We'll only get to the bottom of this when someone with a GPS antenna will plug it in, couldn't buy one myself but someone said he had one here, about a week ago now !
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] petreme:

With externe GPS reciever /LEADTEC 9553/work exelent.

Bigger problems is absent WiFi.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] GpsPasSion:
Well that's another problem, I'm not sure a stanard GPS app can connect to SMD7, in fact I'm pretty sure it can't ;-)

So where is our friend with the P3300 antenna ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] telepat1:
solution could come from cruiser radio?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] lordbye:
On nokia 6680 used an external antenna gps, the same that I used in those days with the tomtom htc on, and to make it work I had to set tomtom f(into setup when it asks the door) as com 0.

No detection of internal hw...always "no gps hardware found"
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] NetrunnerAT:
i think ... to enable GPS or WIFI, we must mod the Radio Rom first!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rumble291:
Yeah thats what i think as well. If it is to do with the radio rom then if some1 can dump there Japanese touch duals radio rom then install it on our touch duals see if that works maybe just a thought though. I dont have a clue about GPS. Why did HTC not include WiFi and GPS in the dual? It would make it even better and make the iphone look soo **** haha.

Hi Guys,

im a newb to this site directed here when I got my HTC Touch Dual, I have had the Orange E650 and E600 before this.

I have no experiance in writing or hacking software but am egarly awaiting outcome if this GPS senario. I travel alot for work and sometimes required to travel by train/tube and use google maps with its GPRS locator to try and find my way to places but find it so inaccurate, would be great to have a hand held GPS device always with me.

Keep up the good work, and rational debates.

as a business man I can think of many reasons why HTC would have this technology in there phones and not have it turned on, for example the same reason they have chose not to install the ATI Imageon technology, and QTV and Q3Dimension technologies in the phones.

Time, money, cost. the fact that they pulled the WiFi at the last min, could be because of a cut in budget to produce the units, they would have already had a sales price agreed with the likes of orange and would then have a pre-determined cost price they would have to meet, as we all know prices for materials is only going up due to US markets, and World Oil prices. Taking this into consideration Licencing could cost the same amount they needed to reduce.

Could also be to make a future version more appealing, keep the demand High for new products. Business world is ruthless and sometimes it pays not bring the latest technology out straight away, especially when your already the market leader.

My 2p worth, Keept up the good work guys.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WalliamPls:
I'm from Spain and I really want to get an Axon 7, but I can't decide where to get it and what to do with it since there are three different versions (A2017, A2017U and A2017G).

I immediately cross out the A2017U off the list since I don't think there is any way to get it from here. That leaves me with two options:

- Get the A2017 from Aliexpress

- Get the A2017G from Amazon

Here is what I'm debating myself on:

- The A2017 from Aliexpress is 50€ cheaper than the A2017G from Amazon, but it only has one year of warranty versus two years if I get it from Amazon. I am careful with my phone so I don't think it makes much of a difference other than the price and the version.

- From what I've read in forums, the A2017G is apparently worse than the A2017, regarding physical aspects like the audio jack output being less powerful, and internal aspects like software accesibility. I'm not really sure about this, I hope someone can illuminate me.

The idea that I have right now is to get the A2017 version from Aliexpress and ask for an unopened box so the seller doesn't install anything on the phone (I've read that the phone won't update if this happens), and then install what's needed myself, but I don't know how hard/dangerous that is.

I need a lot of help here, thank you very much.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alom5:
I had the A2017G and have the A2017 now. I would say the 2017 feels better to use and a bit snappier than the 2017g version.

The only downside is some of the apps are in Chinese and i am unable to create a zte account right now. Can't get the sms code to come through.

Still prefer this and you can have a better specced phone in terms of storage and ram
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kodrnusa:
If you buy ftom amazon you have 3 years waranty. I have g model and it is great. Sound is loud enough for me with headphones. The Chinese version does not have european LTE bands, so no LTE if you buy Chinese version... The phone is great, I don't know what are people talking about... Nougat is on the way and cm13 is also almost finished is you like to root and flash roms.. The phone is one of the fastest i ever seen.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alom5:
As you can see. ..i have LTE in the uk.

Signal strength is good inside the house in comparison to other phones as well.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WalliamPls:
That is really great, thank you for the confirmation picture.

Did you have to do anything to the phone related to software when you first got it? Or did your seller install the things for you?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alom5:
Seller installed stuff, and had a leaflet sarong you can't do factory reset etc.. but i reset and upgraded the firmware to b11. Nothing else
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Controllerboy:
I'd also add that chances are you'll have to pay 15 euro + VAT extra (In case of Belgium for example, with a VAT of 21%, this adds the hefty sum of 96 euros) if the customs officers catch your phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WalliamPls:
I am aware of that. That's a point in favor of buying from Amazon, even if the price is a little bit more expensive.

How reliable is "WillMyPhoneWork.net"?

According to that website, the A2017 is completely compatible with the service my carrier offers.

Here is a screenshot of the results:

https://gyazo.com/b7282b0dc1334e68ae75eff96ddff4cc

Also, if the A2017 is easier to root and unlock, it's probably going to be the best option.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kodrnusa:
You can root the g model same way as other models. LTE will work for you but with slower speeds, because some bands are missing.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WalliamPls:
So if the only plus that the A2017G model has over the A2017 is that the connection is a little bit faster, I think I can safely get the A2017 from Aliexpress for a cheaper price.

Thank you very much for your answers!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] deoki:
Have you ever dealt with RMA with China-based ASC's? You do know that ZTE Europe won't accept your device in case you need a repair, right?

Plus, you're wasting 3 years warranty, 6 months screen repair and & 3 years liquid spillage repair for what? A marginal dB difference in sound (did you even listened both models in person? Was that ever proved to be real?)? To save a measly 50€ IF you aren't caught by customs?

Why not just buy it via Amazon with Prime and return it for free in case you don't like it?

And in regard to the Bootloader, who's to say it won't be standardized in N?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kodrnusa:
I would check at your phone operater which bands are needed for lte. Show them my screenshot just to be shure that lte will work.

I also recommend you to buy european version...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bonk3rzzz:
I would pick a better warranty over other features anyday. The headphone low volume already has a work around on these forums. If anything has to go wrong with your phone I think the warranty process will be a huge hassle with the Chinese model. I have a G version and the headphone is plenty loud as is.

Never say never as far as things that can go wrong with your phone goes. Even if you are incredibly careful with how you use your phone, you can't guard against manufacturing defects :) The only motivator for buying the Chinese one could be the lower cost. Is it worth your time if you end up wanting an RMA?
