If that's a screenshot of your phone, I highly suggest you take it down and remove your ESN from it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] belgarionr:
No no, not my phone! Thats the picture they have on HTC's site.

Thanks for the warning though!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Oh ok good.

I'm not on Telus, but what is Pocket Express?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] belgarionr:
No idea. Once I flash it, I'll let ya know.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] maxpig:

Looks like it includes GPS to me...

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Phyber0ptik:
Has anyone installed this yet? Can we confirm GPS works with it?

I would'nt mind going back to an offical release, as GPS is the only reason I unlocked in the first place...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Phyber0ptik:
Instead of waiting to hear if it works, I decided to quit being a sissy bed-wetter and try it myself.

What I had before:

A telus p4000, with bootloader 2.40-olipro, DCD 3.2.5, and radio 3.42.50.

All of this was done simply to enable GPS. It was the only thing that I found lacking.

What I did:

I didn't try to relock, or anything like that. I simply connected my phone to USB and my computer, and applied the new Telus/HTC update by double clicking on it and letting it run. The update contains a radio (3.42.40) as well.

What I have now:

Still have the 2.40 bootloader, TELUS rom 3.54.661.1, Telus Radio 3.42.40

What works:

In short, everything.

GPS works (finds me in less than 60 seconds, without QuickGPS loaded, in the house)

REV A - I get over 1016kbps on www.dslreports.com/mspeed using PIE. Fastest I have ever gotten it.

Memory usage - this rom is bloated full of everything Telus and HTC could throw at it. A ton of stuff starts up on the today screen during first boot. But memory manager still reports 24 MB availible to the user on start. Impressive if you ask me.

New Stuff:

This is stuff I've never seen in a Rom before today.

Task Manager Icon - top right corner of today screen / start bar. Lets you kill a process on the fly.

Click and hold X - Lets you KILL the app, not just put it in the background.

Some other stuff I'm sure, I'll try to update as I find more.

All in all, seems to be a pretty good, not to mention stable.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Inescapbl:
I unfortunately cannot second Phyber0ptik's success.

I approached it differently though. I put the phone back into its WM 6.0 stock format and then went ahead and did the upgrade to 6.1. After installing GoogleMaps and trying to locate myself the screen continues to look and look and look for satellites with no success.

Could anyone provide some insight as to the differences between our experiences? I could fathom a guess that since Phyber0ptik did not go back to stock, his GPS was left unlocked for the new software flash and thus it all worked. But I could be off here.

Ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Keystone:
That's not the case at all. The hardware is not "locked." The GPS was inaccessible in other ROMs due to drivers not being included into the OS ROM. There is no need to "downgrade" ROMs to "unlock" such hardware.

Sorry, a bit rushed but it can be device dependant and possibly require a bit of a wait the first time to download the ephemeris data. Forum searches will return the many past similar experiences of other members.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Phyber0ptik:
Just wondering, but did you check to ensure that location based services were turned on? They were on mine, but possibly not on yours? The new TELUS rom also includes a today plug in to turn GPS on and off, signified by a little target. Maybe it got turned off?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
did you let the customizations run on the new telus ROM? i havent looked, but i'm sure it updates your PRI, which affects GPS.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Inescapbl:
Interesting stuff. Thanks for the input. The device I'm going to guess is the same seeing as we're both upgrading our P4000's. But it's neat to know it's not the hardware that's specifically locked.

I know that one doesn't need to downgrade to update but I thought I'd provide a different perspective for those coming right from the stock 6.0 ;)

I did have the Location Setting set such that the GPS was on and I did let the customizations run.

Weird...

I'm going to try again.

Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Phyber0ptik:
I let my customizations run, as I'm a Telus subscriber, and the rom was specifically designed for my phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] maxpig:
good to hear I don't have to relock my phone to take upgrade.... will try in a few days ... when not so busy and not in need of my phone incase something goes wrong...

Just question when I decide to try it.. will I still be able to put dcd 3.2.5 back on without unlocking it installing radio etc.... if I don't like it?

Sad note though.... I guess we're not the special few Telus users with GPS enabled P4000... Oh well I always prided myself with the knowledge that we took the time and made the effort to get it done....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rawr:
installed flawlessly here overtop a 3.42.50 radio and 3.2.5 based rom...

wow, there's a lot of crap that Telus puts in there... i'll be going back to a cooked rom very soon i think...

Bluetooth looks to be updated! There's a new Bluetooth Explorer that adds Bluetooth devices to the File Explorer... FTP is also supported via BT
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Inescapbl:
Hmm...so I've realoaded Radio 3.42.50 and DCD 3.2.5 and I'm not having any luck at all. Really really strange stuff here as Googlemaps just seems to keep on searching for satellites and just isn't finding anything.

----intermission-----

You know...it's the weirdest thing. I was outside not getting anything at all so I fiddled with some of Google Maps options. I pressed the 'Reset Google' option and all of a sudden everything came back. I have no idea what changed as an option like this isn't something I would expect to fix it. Never the less. Back in business.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Inescapbl:
After looking at this new load some more, I'm with Rawr...there's far too much stuff on here. Memory is 22.90MB free on boot but there just seems to be a lot of extra bloatware added on. All the best to you if you like the new stuff and I'm glad Telus came on board with 6.1. But I'm headed back to dcd :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] krazycanuck82:
looks like dcd has done a better job than telus in this case (no surprise.) really, who needs all that bloatware. is the performance any better than .50?

also, i find it funny that telus releases this update after the p4000 has been discontinued.

we gotta get a diamond in dcd's hands so we can start seeing some dcd diamond roms

edit: oops my bad, the bloatware only comes with the full update through the teluss ruu but is no prop if installing just the radio, right??? oh well only one way to find out: its sd flashing time
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 98dinan3:
I've been running it since pretty much the minute it came up on the HTC site, and so far everything is working properly. Thumbs up.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] maxpig:
Just installed it on a non activated mogul.... it seems it fixed the audio setting problem it's louder now when speaker phone is on... it added gps... it added task manager... it added free e-mail push through telus server... and bluetooth explorer... and some other crap.... I may actually install this on my phone...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
What on earth are you talking about? The amount of applications on the phone has nothing at all to do with free RAM (Unless of course those applications boot up with the phone). Try disabling the today screen stuff then reboot. I get 25.70 Megs free after fresh bootwith no today screen items. Thats not bad. This Telus ROM is the best I have used yet. GPS is probably as good as sprint. Locks are so consistant its not funny.

Eitherway; to each his own...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Agreed.

I wish DCD would make a kitchen out of this ROM ;c)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] stanelie:
Does skype works on this phone?

Is there an internet sharing app?

Can they detect tethering if there is one?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Juicy47:
It figures that the day I buy a new phone (Touch Diamond) they finally release the official ROM upgrade for my now retired P4000.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
I might have to give this one a try since it looks like Telus may have gotten it at least almost right. Although DCD 3.2.5 is pretty damn good. Right now I'm just flashing the radio since I don't have time to reinstall all my apps and whatnot. Does the new free push email service from Telus allow you to change the FROM address in your email? That's the only reason I could see using it over mail2web live.

Anyone care to inform us what the differences between this ROM and DCD's 3.2.5 are other than all the extra applications (which don't matter to me as long as they don't all start up on boot)?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
Ok, I caved and flashed. Here's some screenshots for comparison.

DCD 3.2.5

Keep in mind I have a crapload of Today plugins running including SPB Pocket Plus, SBSH Pocket Weather, SPB Diary, and BatteryStatus
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
New Telus ROM
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
Edit:

So far one difference I have noticed is that this appears to use the newer keyboard driver that a lot of people have issues with. With DCD3.2.5 that uses the older driver I do not have my keypresses resulting in multiple characters showing up but on this ROM I do. That's pretty much enough to steer me away from this ROM. Before I go ahead and reflash to DCD3.2.5 and reinstall everything I'm wondering how far away 3.2.6 is...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] maxpig:
can't send text msgs they get sent to draft box.... keyboard issues either it enters multiple characters or you have to press the key multiple times for it to kick in... touch screen sluggish and slow....

Other than those huge defects.... happy with everything else... are there older drivers in cab format that will overwrite the current drivers for screen and keyboard?

Called Telus about it and they told me about the known issue with txt msgs but not keyboard... they issued a ticket and told me to bring it in for repairs and if they can't fix it they'll replace it.... hmmm

new finding: GPS takes forever now to lock on... and I always had no less than 8 sat's locked in now I'm lucky to get 4... could be just me...

now to flash back do I unlock again? and since the radio has been updated to 3.4ish can I leave that as well or upgrade that too... or can I just flash DCD 3.2.5 back on without doing anything else?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Spok75:
Well first post on here. I've read everything I think I need to know, hours upon hours of reading and now I have come for help. I did the Telus 6.1 update and two things bother me. The first is I no longer can get TCPMP to work at all. I enjoy watching video podcasts on my way to work in the morning. And the second I thought oh cool, I can now have GPS! But that isn't working either.

Is there any way to go back to the stock 6.0 ROM? I can do without the GPS and I miss my podcasts :(

Any help is appreciated and thanks for your time :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flyers2114:
Make sure all of your settings are correct for GPS....go to settings External GPS....com 4....port none.....baud 4800... auto to manage gps...also make sure it is not set to 911 only....this is found in settings, phone...make sure you go outside and give it a try....

This should fix theTCPMP issue....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Spok75:
Well TCPMP starts, but it doesn't like WMV files like it used to and I get a WAV error when I open up anything else! GPS still doesn't work, I'm using the HTC GPS Tool and trying to use Windows Live or Google maps doesn't work either. All my settings are according to how you've suggested.

Is there a way to downgrade back to Telus_HTC_P4000_WM6_07252007.exe? I tried and I get an error when I want to go back. I'm so happy I didn't brick it :)

Cheers!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
I haven't tried it but I think this should work. I take no responsibility if you mess up your phone.

a) Run the Titan Relocker. I'm too lazy to find a link to it so I uploaded it here:

http://drop.io/Titan_Relocker

b) Run the program to flash the old firmware. If you don't have a copy, I uploaded it here (not sure if it's still available from HTC or not):

http://drop.io/Telus_Titan_WM6

That's all I had to do when I had an issue awhile ago with one of DCD's ROMs and had to revert back to the original. Personally I'd just flash to DCD's latest and try to work out your issues because they are SO much better than this ROM (this ROM blows) and really improve the usefulness of the device over the old stock ROM as well. The only reason I haven't gone back to DCD 3.2.5 is because I'm waiting for the next version so I don't have to reinstall everything again.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lifeisfun:
I installed it on non activated Titan but can't get the GPS lock on to satellites :(

Tried the GPS fix using QPST but that didn't help.

Is it possible that it doesn't work because the phone isn't activated ?

Flashed to DCD 3.2.5 - no GPS either :(

Any ideas ?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Spok75:
unL33T, can I just run the Relocker and then flash to DCD's latest rom? Or can I just flash DCD's latest ROM straight out without the Relocker?

Would I have to go through these steps listed here?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
If you run the Relocker you will have to install the 2.40 or 2.47 bootloader first. I already had 2.47 and the new Telus ROM did not over write it. I'm not sure if you can go from the new Telus ROM to DCD's without installing a new bootloader.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] maxpig:
I installed the new teluswm6.1 update from dcd 3.2.5 without relocking it... it looks like the bootloader doesn't say 2.40 oilpro anymore so are you saying phone is still unlocked and I can just put dcd back on??
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] belgarionr:
If you press and hold the camera button and the power button at the same time as you reset your phone (with the stylus and reset button on the bottom), if it bring you to the tri color olipro boot loader and you can reflash to DCD.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BrokenSibik:
Well, I decided to install this update and was impressed until i started google maps. GPS doesnt work using Google Maps, navizon and Windows Live. Settings are all correct for GPS...just doesnt work. flashing back to DCD. Besides the only useful thing Telus/HTC added was the bluetooth explorer which im going to transfer over a fresh reinstall of DCDs greatest.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lifeisfun:
Let me know if you got GPS working

Mine doesn't work as well, flashed to DCD 3.2.5 and it still doesn't work.

The Titan I used for this experiment is not activated.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BrokenSibik:
if your titan isnt activated, are you using your activesync connection for a data connection? B'cuz Google needs to access data over the internet.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] profets:
i just flashed a titan to 3.2.5 which isnt activated. installed tomtom and gps seems to be working.

could use wifi to test for something like google maps
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lifeisfun:
That's what I'm doing using WiFi and google map

How fast it locked on satellites ?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zeusus:
Wireless modem or ICS

So, the question remains unanswered...

Does anyone, who has played with this know if it uses the wireless modem, or if it uses ICS for Laptop connectivity. If ICS is not available, how can I go abouts ensuring that I have that as an option. I prefer it over the wireless modem.

Can anyone verify if the phone needs to be relocked to revert back to a cooked rom after?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
It shouldn't need to be relocked to install a cooked ROM. On my phone it did not overwrite the bootloader.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zeusus:
Excellent, thanks!

Do you know which internet sharting utility is used on this rom?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
On this Telus ROM? I cannot find any options for ICS but I found an icon for Wireless Modem. I don't do any tethering so I'm not really sure but I would assume it uses Wireless Modem since that's the only one I can find anything for.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zeusus:
Sorry for the questions. I am not noob, just cautious when thinking about a stock rom. One thing I don't know, however, is how to install ICS onto a stock rom. If someone could enlighten me, I would be very greatful.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
The new stock ROM is horrible. I'd go with DCD if I were you.

Problems I've had with this new ROM:

- keyboard issues like crazy

- touchscreen will randomly stop responding

- phone has randomly reboot a couple times

- phone has once reboot instead of turning off when the battery was low

- phone freezes up requiring a soft reset 1-3 times a day

This is without even installing any other applications. I don't have any of these issues with DCD 3.2.5.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lifeisfun:
Today i installed TomTom and left the phone for about 45 min to search for satellites

( outside without any trees around) and it still doesn't work :(

Any other ideas what to do ?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
When my phone won't sync, I launch Windows Live Search, open the map, tell it to center on GPS, wait for it to time out, and then click on center on gps x2 and 99% of the time it links up in seconds.... Why it has to time out first before it syncs I haven't figured out, but over the past several days it has worked consistantly.

I have also had luck with Tom Tom, starting it, letting it run 5 minutes, and then closing it and reopening it and about 50% of the time it will sync up almost immediately.

WLS has been my best friend on this so far tho, so give that a try and see if you have any luck.

BTC
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BrokenSibik:
After installing the telus update, I couldnt get any sat locks for GPS. Now that I've gone back to DCDs, I still cant get a lock. I've even redone the GPS fix tutorial from gc. Any input would be great. I've also tried changing the registry but to no avail.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lifeisfun:
And I thought I'm the only one with this problem ...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] restsoft:
Same issue here.

Went from DCD 3.2.5 (GPS working) to new Telus ROM (GPS worked for a while then quit).

I re-installed DCD 3.2.5 and GPS still not working.

I then installed DCD 3.1.6 + Telus carrier cab and everything is back to normal now.

Registry settings...

HKLM\software\htc\supl agps

EnableAGPS = 0

EnableGPSSmartMode = 0

GPSMode = 2
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lifeisfun:
Thanks for the info, I'll try 3.1.6 as well

I presume you applied the fix described here as well ?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanGpsFix

I did and it didn't fix it

just to update:

I flashed to 3.1.6 and GPS is still not working :(
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] restsoft:
No I did not apply the titangps fix.

Did you installed the telus carrier cab. Is your radio version 3.42.40 still?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] remsad:
I have the same problem, I tried Radio .30, .40 and .50 and no gps lock. I tried many Telus carrier cabs and no luck. I'm still with the latest version of DCD
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lifeisfun:
Yes I installed the carrier cab.

I tried both 3.42.40 and 50
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] shubhanyu:
Another issue, perhaps? I found my SMS character limit reduced to 130 from 160? :eek: :confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lifeisfun:
Just to update ...

I installed TomTom on my NOT activated Telus phone

and left it on ( outside ) over night. It picked up GPS

signal !

DCD or anyone else, what would be the best settings for NON activated phone

to get best GPS performance ?

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] shubhanyu:
This 20 character loss (130 vs 160) is proving like a deal breaker for me ... everything in this ROM I am liking except this 130 character limit .... any fix ?! :( :confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jjlwork:
I had the same issues, i fixed mine on dcd 3.2.5 by running the carrier cab, then going to settings ->connections -> update PRI. The phone says it failed to backup, restarts and GPS now works.
