I don't know about anybody else.... but I already knew this! I've been using Iplayer on my Touch HD since Christmas (when I got my Touch HD).

The problem, still, is that you need wifi... you can't use your Data Connection!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Noodled24:
I'm still having trouble. From the other threads I think a few people still do.

I've tried several times. No luck. It opens in the video player but then just hangs on "connecting".

Now that the blackstone is supported there shouldnt be any need to change the user agent... but still?

sorry i only just found this out have been watching ot through skyfire lol. i was impressed with both
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] stlic:
My understanding is iPlayer works only on 3 and vodafone over their network at the moment. I've used it with 3 no problems.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Noodled24:
^ True, but it should work over wifi no matter what network you use.

In my case and others, the Touch HD can't deal with Iplayer via wifi out the box.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SiliconS:
Those of you having problems over wifi might find the problem is nothing to do with the BBC or the Touch, but your router/firewall. I have two wifi networks in my house - one is within my network behind the gateway/firewall PC and another is right at my broadband modem (in the DMZ).

Connecting directly through the broadband modem means I can watch the iPlayer no problem, but if I'm behind the gateway then the HD's streaming app can't connect. I haven't bothered to investigate which ports I need to open in the gateway to make it work within the network but I assume it must be possible.

Hope this helps suggest a pointer for investigation.

I have the same problem where it hangs on connecting,

i've seen a video of it running but the media player the guys using isn't

the standard pvplayer that comes with the touch hd out of the box.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c86913wBoYA

anyone know what media player that is?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fowler002:
thats the streaming media player that comes with the touch hd.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Zooby:
everyone keeps saying this but it's not on mine. is it somewhere on my system? i've looked through every executable and it's like my touch hd

didn't come with the standard software.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Noodled24:
That media player is not the default one that opens when I try to use Iplayer either. Mine has less and smaller icons. They're circles too. Not Square.

If the problem is with the router/firewall, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

The youtube player works perfectly over both wifi and 3g. I also have Gremote working fine... both of which require connections to the PC..?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 10076757:

beside the interesting eye candy, where's the Experia Panels Simulation cab for WM6.1? or does it have to be cooked in? have u run it on the hermes and how much memory did it use?
[General Questions and Answers] vale|46:
For power management, anyone knows exactly what SIM_Class is for? If you have Advanced Configuration Tool, the title of the setting that matches this key is "SIM Memory", so this only applies to the memory on the SIM card? When you enable PM for a certain feature, it's supposed to turn off the power for that feature when it's not in used, but how does it work for a SIM card when it's active pretty much all the time unless you turn off the radio?

I'm asking this because I'm currently using a dual SIM adapter, and I heard that the power voltage is quite important, so I wonder if by enabling PM for the SIM_Class will cause problems in a long run? I have it enabled for a day now, so far I see no problem for the dual SIM adapter to function properly, but I'd hate to find out later that it will brick the adapter somehow.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] vale|46:
So nobody knows exactly what the power management for SIM_Class is, but you all still decided to enable it? :confused:

Thanks,

[Touch CDMA General] codybear:
have you upgraded to windows mobile 6.1??

if so, then go to start > settings > Phone > Services tab > make sure location setting is highlighted, click get settings >then make sure it is set to on.

that will make sure that applications are allowed to use your gps signal.

then once you have done that,

open your gps, if you use google maps you have to click menu, use gps.
[Touch CDMA General] jrb_82:
I have upgraded to the official verizion 6.1 rom. My question is, does gps use data? Is the gps a real gps that connects to satellites or is it some pseudo gps that approximates my location by triangulating distances between my phone and the nearest couple cell towers? I don't have a data plan and don't want an unpleasant suprise on my next bill.
[Touch CDMA General] jmitr:
Yes, the Vogue has a real GPS antena. If you read through the forums you'll find verizon users have to do a bit of tweaking to get it working.

It can be confusing, because our phones also support "agps". This stands for assisted gps. AGPS uses cell phone tower triangulation to get a position.

GPS has inherent errors, in the aviation world there is a system called diffrential GPS. This uses a ground based system to correct the time diffrential error in the sattelites for greater accuracy. Without dgps you cannot use the gps inputs for a precision approach, only enroute, terminal and overlay. We use other systems such as vor/dme. This uses ground based "towers" to get a position using radial and distance information. This is very similiar to what agps does.
[Touch CDMA General] codybear:
to answer the question does it use data?

the answer is yes.

it has to have a data connection in order to receive the gps data.

atleast thats my understanding, as a data connection does start and maintain during my gps sessions.
[Touch CDMA General] MethodMan:
No it shouldn't. The data connection you're seeing is probably initiated by the application that needs the internet for transferring maps like Google maps or MS Live search.

If you load up any independent GPS app that uses locally stored maps like TomTom or Garmin, then it shouldn't initiate any data connections.
[Touch CDMA General] codybear:
thanks method man for correcting me.

i didn't think about it that way. haha.
[Touch CDMA General] acidreflux1:
Also a Newbie

I was wondering whether there was an app that I would need to install on my xv6900 to get the GPS working or do i need an external device like the TomTom Go series to get the GPS up and running.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thankyou
[Touch CDMA General] Spyderekz:
How to get GPS to work

The reason it dont work is because GPS tries to connect one way, i belive its phone as modem. and when you browse the internet, it tries to connect as Sprint PCS.

now i might be wrong in that, but just lisen.

in order to fix it you need to do a registry change. get a free program to edit the registry. like PHM RegEdit.

got it downloaded? installed? good. lets move on.

open it up

click on My Device

+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

+Comm

+ConnMgr

+Providers

+{7C4B7A38-somethingsomethingsomething}

+Phone as Modem.

go into that setting, make sure that the key AlwaysOn is set to 0

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART

go down a setting from phone as modem to

+SprintPCS

the key inside doesnt have to be set to Always On, but you can enable it if you want.

now close it up. count to 20 and do a restart on the phone

next time you try to run any GPS app it should work. use GoogleMaps though.

also while you are in here you can go into ConnectionSharing. a key above ConnMgr. and make it so you can use your phone as a modem for your laptop. the option was removed in the 6.1 update. let me know if you wish to know how.

6.1 ROM? and GPS

I called Verizon regarding the WM 6.1 upgrade and they told me to go to Microsoft's website and download it. Microsoft says go to the carrier's website. I'm confused. I'm using a Verizon XV6900 running Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Are we talking the same thing? Is there a newer version (6.1) than 6 Professional? If so, where can I get it?

Also, I've read about enabling the internal GPS antenna, which appeals to me, but there is so much info with different instructions, talking about Sprint and Alltel, radios, etc. Is there a good (read: easy) set of instructions for this? Also, a list of the possible problems encountered (function, data loss, etc.)? I don't want to be a pain in the rear, but this is not my specialty. But I could really use the GPS capability with my work (real estate) w/o needing an exterior unit. I currently use a DeLorme bluetooth unit, but its a pain.

Thanks in advance, Jim.

Here is the link to the offical WM6.1 ROM

http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=95&cid=1&mid=302&carrier=Verizon Wireless

1. sync your phone with Outlook. You will loose everything on your phone when you flash the new ROM. Files on your memory card will be safe.

2. Unlock your phone with 2.31 & refer to the links below.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370

http://www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html

3. connect your phone to your computer via activesync & run the ROM file you download. Simply follow the instructions.

4. Your phone will hard reset once the flash is complete. You will have to align the screen & such. The very last screen will ask you to tap the screen to begin using your device. You have to be ready to soft reset your phone as soon as you tap the screen. DO NOT LET THE CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN OR YOU WILL BE SCREWED FOR SURE.

5.Settings--->Phone--->Services Tab select location settings & then hit the get settings button. Make sure Location On is selected.

6. Download the Holus GPS viewer & install.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=434408&highlight=holux+gps+viewer

post #3

7. Once the GPS viewer open hit the scan button. This will tell you what port & at what baud you GPS is at. It should be com 4 @ 4800.

8. Hit the open GPS button & hopefully you will get a lock.
[Touch CDMA General] bwolsen:
phone keeps scanning for satellites

Is this normal? The GPS program ran and continues to search for satellites. Its alomst like it can't find any. I ran it just the way you listed. Anything else I can try?
[Touch CDMA General] gogodj:
If you are using Holux GPS viewer and you see red dots then be happy your GPS is working. Usually first lock takes longer. try it on an open place hopefully you will get a lock. The red dots you see on Holux are the satellites that your GPS is seeing, Once it gets a lock you will see blue dots and that's a fix. If it continues to flash red dots, I would try closing and opening port once, that wud restart the GPS.

Once you get a lock, use any 3rd party software like Garmin Mobile XT or Tomtom Navigator 7 if you don't have a data plan. If you have a dataplan then you can use goolemaps too.

Hope it helps..
[Touch CDMA General] mfpreach:
No that isn't true at all,

I have both Tomtom and Igo with map files on the sd card. The phone needs the internet to get the agps information otherwise the GPS programs can't get a lock. It doesn't use much adata at all as I was roaming in the states (from canada) for around 10 days , I used the gps everyday and was only charged under $3 for the whole 10 days.

http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=95&cid=1&mid=302&carrier=Verizon Wireless

Here is the update you are looking for, now.... For the love of the lord, DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATION RUN!!!

Update your device as directed in the file, when the device updates and restarts, you will see a message that says something like "Running Customization in... 3,2,1 Seconds" or something like that, when you see that, stick the stylus in the hole at the bottom of the device and you will avoid a big pain in the @ss.

Can't get a lock

I just followed all the steps and installed GPS viewer and could not get a lock. I used the Verizon MR1 rom. Since that did not work I tried installing Valhalla GPS Server to see if that would help. No luck. Any Ideas?
[Touch CDMA General] budven:
I have data blocked on my phone and the GPS worked fine up until about a month ago. Whatever Verizon did blocked my GPS and I have not been able to get is working since. I can still run GPS viewer and see satellites but I can't get a fix on them.
[Touch CDMA General] FutureSEAL16:
I have everything working now. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA General] jimonfly:
Just so I have it straight...

When I unlock the phone with 2.31, do I let customizations run? The ppcgeeks thread doesn't specify, but the atwistedweb thread says let them run. What does 2.31 do? Just unlock the phone so I can install the next ROM? Also, the ppc post talks about disabling USB while the other does not. Is there a preference?

When I install the new WM6.1 ROM, the atwistedweb post says to install it from the SD card, while the this thread says via USB. Once again, any preference?

I understand not to let the customizations run for this ROM and by putting the stylus in the bottom hole it resets the machine. After it comes up again, will the phone be (should be) upgraded and ready to use?

Lastly, if my phone gets "bricked" (I guess that means it turns into a battery powered paperweight), you guy can help me out, right?

Man, all of this just to get GPS and Verizon service. Still nervous!:( And Verizon won't shut my service off or stop tech support?

Thanks again. Trying to get all the info up front so I don't have to later. Jim
[Touch CDMA General] FutureSEAL16:
Make sure you have backed up everything. First you need to unlock with the .40 unlocker. Then flash to the sprint pre-GPS ROM (This will downgrade your radio which is said to be dangerous but I have never heard of anyone hurting their phone while doing it correctly. This will also require you to call Verizon and get a new A-key. If they ask you what happened just tell them that you had to hard reset your device because of a bad program. Go through all of their steps and it will all get fixed. You have to call Verizon because you wont be able to make calls.) DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN! You'll know they're about to run beacuse there will be a pop up saying they're going to run in 3 seconds (or something like that). As soon as you see that pop up stick your stylus in the reset hole. Then unlock with the 2.31 unlocker. After you use this unlocker you wont have to unlock again. Ok now you flash back to the Verizon MR1 ROM. DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN! Once again you'll know they're about to run beacuse there will be a pop up saying they're going to run in 3 seconds (or something like that). Now after you do this your GPS should be working but I was never able to get it to work with the Verizon MR1 ROM. So I recommend using NSFFAN's 6.5 ROM. Now when I unlock and flash ROM's I don't disable the USB thing your talking about. I also flash everything through my computer (USB) and not through the SD card. There is a small chance you can brick your phone but if you do everything carefully and correctly it's a very very small chance. Just make sure you are doing everything right before moving on to each next step. If a phone is bricked I don't think it can be recovered but i'm not 100% sure. Lots of times when there are problems though it's not a bricked phone and just a glitch so if you have anything that doesn't seem right just come on here and ask for help. Verizon won't do anything with your service except fix your phone like I said earlier unless you tell them what your actually doing. I don't know what happens then and I don't want to find out.. What they don't know won't hurt them;) Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or need any help.
[Touch CDMA General] jimonfly:
Is there a difference between the .40 and the .41 unlocker, and which to use? The thread says .40 is more dangerous.

Why unlock with .40, then use the sprint ROM, then unlock again with 2.31, then use the verizon WM6.1 (Is that the MR1?) ROM? What is the purpose of each step?

Once again, just trying to reconcile between 3 or 4 posts with conflicting info. Jim
[Touch CDMA General] FutureSEAL16:
I'm not quite sure what the reasoning is for using the .40 unlocker first and then the 2.31 but it's what works so I don't question it. The .40 unlocker is safe so you''ll be fine it's just that the newer versions are improved. Make sure you use the .40 and not the .41 unlocker. The Verizon 6.1 ROM is the MR1 that i'm talking about. I promise that if you do it the way I just told you then your GPS will work. I've done it that way with 2 separate phones and now they both have GPS enabled. Feel free to PM me or ask anymore questions here. Also on a separate note when you are flashing both the unlockers and the ROM's don't go into bootloader. Just get your phone to connect to activesync first. Then for the unlocker just double click the file and follow the directions. You do the same for the ROM's.
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
I think the primary difference between the two is that unlocker .40 allows the bootloader to be overwritten by a subsequent flash - .41 (and 2.31) do not. So if you want to completely 'un-custom' your phone, you need to unlock down to .40 so that the custom bootloader can be replaced with the carrier boot loader.
[Touch CDMA General] jimonfly:
GPS Enabled... but not working

OK, I had a problem with my phone (no messaging of any kind) and Verizon wanted me to do a hard reset. So I did (it fixed the problem), then ran through the process of unlocking, adding gps, then upgrading the MR1.

Everything worked OK and the phone is now working again. I downloaded the Holux GPS Viewer and scanned (gps on Com4) then tapped Open GPS. A bunch of stuff scrolls at the bottom. When I go to GPS Status, I cannot see any dots (satellites) after about 5 minutes. Does it take longer? I assume that when it scanned and found the gps, that it is working. Also, what baud rate? It is 4800 by default. Also, I did enable Location On in my settings.

Thanks, Jim.

Hey Seal,

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Here is what I have done, what step am I missing?

3. Upgraded back to MR1 VZW

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] acrosser:
I wrote a program for Windows 2000/XP called Do It Again ( http://www.spacetornado.com/DoItAgain/ ) that does simple task automation (also called macro recording and playback).

You click "Create a New Task" and it then records all of your keystrokes and mouse clicks in any program until you hit a certain hot key (Scroll Lock by default). You can then run the task back in a number of different ways and it will recreate your keystrokes and mouse clicks... either with the same pauses in between, or it can speed them up. And there are some other options available as well (repeating tasks, manually extending pauses between actions, etc).

I thought something like this might be useful for Windows Mobile devices. I wrote Do It Again in C# using .NET Framework 2.0, so I'm guessing it should be fairly easy to port to .NET Compact Framework 2.0.

But I only want to start porting this to Windows Mobile if there is any interest in it, and if people think they might get some use out of it. I know for me personally there are several things I do on my WinMo device that get repetitive and monotonous... starting and minimizing GPS Test to activate the GPS adapter, dismissing old Notifications, marking all email as Read, etc.
