[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] crazy talk:
i get where your coming from now.

i cant find any option to use triangulation. but if you just do a quick search for a local cross street that will get you in the right general area. probably just as fast as well since we have this big awesome keyboard :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] clin0420:
thanks for your input, but whats really bothering me is whether it is because I have the old total internet plan and not the new web2go plan that I having this issue that others are not experiencing...if so, I'm wondering what other things may not work correctly for me...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tchan012:
I can confirm this issue as well. I have a grandfathered 5.99 tzones plan that I am using and so far everything works BUT for the my location (with GPS disabled) - it sucks :(

However, I am not that worried - this happened when I bought the Dash - my location did not work with the tmobile ROM. but when I upgraded it to 6.1 using a custom ROM, my location was back.

What truly sucks is that the my location works fine on my wife's jailbroken IPhone, on my unlocked Kaiser (custom ROM though).

So I am hoping once we have HardSPL and can get EnergyROM going here :), my location should appear!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djdanska:
I thought i read online that google maps may not get location w/o gps when in 3g mode. If using edge, should work. The brief time i had the dash 3g, it did not work with 3g but if i was using edge it worked fine. Try turning 3g off and see if it works. I hope that something they do fixes it though.

T-Zone $5.99

Hi all, please help! I have the t-zone $5.99 plan and I have the T-mobile TP2,

T-Mobile Rep. said I need the $24.99 for the T-Mobile TP2 and the $24.99 plan will be auto. add to my T-Mobile account.:( Is this True?:confused:

Thanks:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
True for me. That's what they did. I didn't protest though, since I wanted the 3G connection.

Even on Edge, the full $25 plan is wayyyy faster. It just is really faster. Maybe that's cuz of the power of the phone, though. But I'm happy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EightEight:
Thank for the quick help! I going to put my T-Mobile TP2 on ebay and go for the Pharos 137, so I can keep my T-Zone plan.:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
Lol, cheapscape!

And I always reply like, instantly. I'm new here, but you'll get to know me!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] clin0420:
So does your my locations work with 3g connection on and with the web2go $25.00 plan? Does it include txt messaging?

What APN is everyone using? The default on the phone used to be epc.tmobile.com, but I changed it to internet2.voicestream.com, considering that I was on the old total internet plan and maybe my locations would work then, but unfortunately there was no difference....anyone else do the same?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EightEight:
Yes, I am cheap. But, why pay $24.99 for 3G when you can have it for $5.99. I been using my SE TM506 Bluetooth connection to my eeepc for 3G for a long time and I am getting over 150KB speed all over the city. I love the t-zone plan and love to be cheap.

CheapScape:D

P.S.

Thanks again!:cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
I got the $25 plan because my family plan already has TXTing in it. The only difference between $25 and $35 plan is texting. Otherwise they're identical.

I left it on the default APN. Never touched it. Those voicestream connections were always slower, for me, so I don't use them. epc.tmobile.com is the way to go.

And Google Map's locate me feature works fine with cellular triangulation. Mine was defaultly using that, when I installed the new version of Google Maps. Something must be going weird with your setup. Idk.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] clin0420:
I don't know if anything is really wrong with my setup....it was like that off the bat when I turned on the device....I suspect it is the whole total internet plan vs. web2go setup as that is the only difference between our setups/configurations. I guess I will just stick with my 19.99 total internet plan for the time being as it gives me unlimited hotspot access as well, and as far as google maps is concerned, I guess I will just have to go the GPS route for my locations..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] trevb87:
i have the total internet add on and it able to find me with no problems with out using GPS. i did it on edge. dont have 3G where i live so couldnt test it on there. using google maps v3.2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] clin0420:
Thats makes sense because there was a theory out there that those of us with the old total internet add on were able to utilize triangulation in my locations when only on edge and not when there was a 3g connection...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fishwiz45:
i'm having the triangilation my location problem too... gunna try 3.2 layers and report back...i also dropped my tzones 5.99 :( and am kinda sorry i did so... are some of you really getting 3g speeds on tzones?!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] neoslan:
Has anyone tried to AppUnlock their Touch Pro 2? I don't think that the TP2 has stuff locked down like my Juno did, but an AppUnlock fixed everything up for me on that phone. But anyways, guys, download the new Google Maps. Its much better.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] clin0420:
Yea apparently 3g is possible on tzones because someone else mentioned that everything worked fine except for the my location triangulation..oh and by the way I have the 3.2 version of maps...but it still didnt correct my issue with triangulation..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] clin0420:
Yes I used the appunlock by chainfire I believe and it still didn't fix the map triangulation on 3g even with the new google maps....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fishwiz45:
triangulation worked for me today with the stock g-maps...i was on a long road trip and it worked only while i was on edge not 3g...:mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jim_0068:
triangulation only works on edge; on 3g use gps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] buttsbuttsbutts:
I tried to do this but Google recognizes my phone as a SCH-I910 and doesn't allow me to download the new cab. Is there a work around for this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
THERE: http://thewingster.com/googlemaps.aspx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bravo261:
this is an interesting thread. i was using an old prophet the last few weeks and the triangulation thing started failing for me as well, and of course i had no idea why since my phone hadn't changed at all. i thought that when i picked up the tp2 it would be solved, but sure enough, still no-go, and i'd LOVE to have it back. gps in google maps is lame anyways, so i do miss the quick estimate of google maps that worked indoors as well
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] clin0420:
Even with just edge turned on you still can't get the traingulation on the touch pro2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] VizagDude:
I have the same exact problem. So I downloaded the Google Maps Cab found of XDA and installed it.

The My location feature is not working on my device as well. I'm not sure if its because of the 3G network though...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lmendez:
Same Problem Here too!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ruinertt:
Same problem here with 3G on T-Mobile.

HOWEVER, I turned 3G off and was able to triangulate my location. :)

Below are the T-Mobile settings for turning off 3G:

Programs > Comm Manager > Click on "Phone" to change the settings > Phone Services > Select the Band tab > Change it from "auto" to "GSM"

There, now you are Edge only and triangulation works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bravo261:
didn't try turning off 3g, but then i don't care to go back and forth just for triangulation. the kicker is that my old prophet, which is of course edge only, lost triangulation some weeks ago as well. i live in orange county, so i assume we were early on the 3g list so nothing else recently changed
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] f1ip:
that would work fine and dandy.. but the maps will load slower.

unfortunately, it does not work on the newest version of google maps as well
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tchan012:
I can confirm - works on E not on 3G. I have the 5.99 tzones plan.

FYI - otherwise all else works fine on tzones at 3G speeds. Did have to buy the phone at full price, but figure i would save over the next 2 years.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
That's the newest.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ruinertt:
I'm running Google Maps v3.2. Is there a newer version than this? That is what I did my test on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
LOL, I once again replied so quickly that my reply went before yours in time. Basically, I replied in the future :)

But my future comment (on the previous page, quoting ur comment) said that v 3.2 of Google Maps is the newest.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ruinertt:
I also found that if you use "Bing" and turn off 3G, the "locate me" part on the front page (which uses triangulation) will work correctly. If you turn 3G back on, not so much.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NearDenver:
Seems there is a version 3.2.1 out in the last few days. Didn't notice what changed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
Yep

Google Maps v 3.2.1 - DOWNLOAD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] clin0420:
interesting, I 'm going to have to see whats different in this version...maybe triangulation issue fixed?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jim_0068:
Does GPS work for you in bing mobile? I can't get mine to work yet it works in the factory installed live search
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
I didn't think they even included Live Search?!?

I had to install my own Bing Mobile version, and GPS worked perfectly. I think GPS actually has some directions in it too, where it tells you how many miles till you turn, according to your GPS location.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] moSess:
Who's to blame??

This is bullsh!t(dont ban me mods)...

I think its pretty corny that we have this nice phone with 3g and we cant use a simple, old, technology like triangulation. Seems to me its either ToMobile not wanting to have use use that bit of extra data or google oversight. I am going with the former. GPS uses no data. Triangulation does. Seems like it would do so accurately as well.

Bt yhe way the method of turning off 3g and using gsm only worked for me... But is ****!ng(i love you mods, all of you!) horrendous at 24.99 a month, seriously.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] innovator8:
I also have the Tmo version with the latest downloaded google maps and with the GPS off, I almost alwasy get that my location is temporarily not available. It is really not all that temporary, it is just totally unavailable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
Switch off 3G.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] elpmet27:
Same here on T-Mo US... I was skeptical but signed up because I wanted the phone so much.. I think we don't need it and if there is a way to cancel it should do so. What do you think? I know I don't use web 2 go at all...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
Data plan is required with the purchase of the phone. However, you could attempt negotiating with T-Mobile Support about it. See if they'll budge on their policy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
I'd eat my shorts if the cell tower "triangulation" (reality: guestimation) in Google Maps has anything to do with the data plan. My guess is TMob doesn't have something set up or something required for this when on 3G. Any other WinMob 3G phones on TMob to compare to?

Or anyone unlocked and using it on ATT? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sleonard:
You can add me as further confirmation. Inside my house only no 3G and triangulation works (even though it puts my location 1/2 a mile down the road). Walk down the street where I get 3G and my location becomes "temporarily" unavailable.

Doesn't bother me too much as I'll probably always keep the GPS enabled. Otherwise it doesn't seem accurate enough.

S
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kwambewright:
must be 3G

can confirm the above also. i live in an area that has not gotten the T Mobile 3G rollout yet and I get triangulated every time. Its way off but in the neighborhood.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mektah:
It's the 3g towers in your area.

I have/had the same problem as you. I figured that the reason is due to the 3g coverage somehow. I went to phone services and changed my band settings to GSM only (edge) and My location works perfectly. When I change it to WCDMA only (3g) it says I'm in san francisco or that its currently not available.

Comm Manager>change phone setting>set up phone services

Band Tab> Select your network type>GSM. it'll reset ur signal then you'll be able to use my location without 3g.

I've only been able to test the WCDMA at work. I'm going to try other places to see if a stronger 3g signal will make the my location function or not. I'll update the posts when I have the chance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rsacipher:
I'm having the same problem and Bing Search can't locate me without using GPS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
Then you're in a 3G zone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dkb218:
There has to be a work around for this...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Cheeze[iT]:
the iPhone 3gS could triangulate pretty quick... why can't this? tsk tsk.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redblues:
T-mobile has not yet attached location services data to their 3G towers. When they will roll this out is anyone's guess, but it can (and should) be coming out at some point int time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sino8r:
its not the 3g towers that are to blame. its the phone. i can get triangulation on 3g with my htc dream (aka g1) easily... its the tp2's software. ive tried other roms and its made no difference....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
The new radio fixes it, I believe, the 4.........17 one.

Just what I think I've heard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hacman:
I have the same issue, and Im using a HTC branded device (bought indipendantly of any network) on T-Mobile UK.

I tried upgrading to the latest version (4.0.0) of Google Maps, and I even reset the device incase I had changed something.

Interestingly, my TYTN II used to do the cell tower triangulation perfectly even when on 3G. Even my old Wizard used to do this years back, so the location facility has been enabled and working on the towers in my area for a long time. This phone has done it maybe once when out of a 3G area...

Somewhat annoying...

Jon
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Uh, works on every OTHER carrier with some exceptions... GPS or Cell location works fine for me on AT&T.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hacman:
Interestingly, testing mine the other day I found that it works in some areas even with the 3G enabled...

HTC really need to get this sorted....

[G1 General] AdrianK:
It's a paid app and you're asking for help on how to install it from the sdcard? I don't know what the rules are regarding this kinda thing, but if you want help pirating apps I'm sure as hell not gonna give it to you

Also, it's "Linux" not "Lunix" :P
[G1 General] DirectMatrix:
Mods please trash

AdrianK is correct in saying that you should not be seeking advice on how to pirate apps and burn their developers.

You will not be able to find the .apk file through most means BECAUSE this is a paid app.....
[G1 General] big_d093:
i wasnt trying to "burn" or "pirate" no body..just couldnt figure it out..but i got the knowledge now..figured since i got the zip that i could just install it but guess not..
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Beautiful Widgets is a paid app, you're rtying to install the apk from your sdcard for some reason. Piracy is the only reason you wouldn't get it from the market.
[G1 General] Binary100100:
I don't get it. Just install it from Market. Who needs the .zip file... unless of course it's pirated. If that's the case then get your instructions from another forum.
[G1 General] big_d093:
lol..you funny man..just told you i wasnt trying to do that my guy..but obviously i got the zip from off of xda or else i wouldnt have it..if i had hacked the app i wouldnt have asked how to install it..but like i said i got the knowledge
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Right ok, just seemed like the only obvious reason. Kinda curious why the apk for a paid app was posted here, oh well nevermind.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] medo159:
Hi everyone

I just purchased a Taiwanese HTC Cruise 09 (it's NOT authentic HTC Phone, it is the Taiwan version OEM HTC Product)

The phone has a working Windows Mobile 6.1, and I can make calls (it's unlocked) but it has different ROM than the original HTC Cruise 09.

Now I'm wondering if I can flash this device and put HTC rom, I'm totally new in flashing :o

I did search to find similar cases but I think most users have an authentic HTC Cruises so my case is different :(

Hope to find a solution here.

this is sometimes an issue when your inbox/sent messages get full.

you can clear them out or reflash the rom.

I've heard of a lot of people sending their phone in for repair for this issue but try clearing them out/or re-flashing because I'm 99% positive its a software not hardware issue.

if the keyboard were to degrade it would happen below the keys. and the keyboard is one solid piece.

and it isn't a driver issue.

I've had this issue on every single wmo device I've ever owned so try clearing, or re-flashing your rom again before you consider sending it in for repair.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibeQuint:
you hard reset? or soft reset 3 times?

I have the same issue. I think it's becouse of dust between letters on the keyboard :( Im thinking about opening device and cleaning keyboard becouse my x1 is not on warranty. But before that I want to try to clean it with compressed air in spray. It is a good cleaner for electronics so may can help but before use that remember about turning off device and taking out battery.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibeQuint:
that's impossible.. the keyboard is like a film its one solid piece, so any dust going between letters goes no where. the only possible things are.. either condensation got stuck between the keyboard and the responsive layer below it.. that layer below it has started to break down and degrade.. or its a software issue.

how is your x1 not under warranty?

UnD, if you tried reflashing then you just have to call up SE for a repair because its a hardware issue then.
