yes , i am in open field, far away from building, several times, more than 40 minutes. thanks I will try it. but I am wondering why signal strength is 0. low strength, hard to fix and no signal strength is totally diferent issue, i guess.

I am proposing the destinator, because it has a function that detects the port & some settings of the gps...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ImDonly1:
I am on Sprint in the US, but this worked for me. I am not sure if you did this.

If you have TouchFlo enabled go to the Settings Tab, then go to All Settings.

In the all settings, click the Personal then click Phone. In there click GSM/UMTS services (I am assuming you have a GSM phone, I don't know). Select Location Setting and then Get settings. Make sure it is turned on.

Then this part you said you did, but I will tell you my settings anyway. Go back to the all settings. Now go to system and then external gps. Then go to programs and select COM port 9. Under hardware it should be None and the baud rate is 4800. Then under access check the box to have manage gps enabled.

Now, when you use google maps, go to the settings in google maps and click gps settings. Change the option from let windows mobile manage my gps to manual and pick com 9 and 4800.

Then enable the gps and get a clear view of the sky and see if it works. It might take about 20 seconds for it to get some satellites the first time.

Hi,

I have been experiencing the same problem. Have read many posts. It normally happens when phone your phone displays H or 3G. For some reason the triangulation and the Gps stops working.

Try it when you have E or G showing on the phone it will work like a charm.

This is my second TP2 first one never had a problem and was vodafone branded as well. Will try and find a solution and will let you know. I have tried different radios though!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] boerekool:
Hi

I had the same issue with my T mobile branded TP2. Sometimes (after houres) I had a fix and then it dropped again. I discovered that when you switch WIFI off, it all works like charm. WIFI somehow jams the GPS receiver.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rde34:
Same Issue

I have the Sprint Touch Pro2 and have tried every patch available, several registry edits, different settings and quick GPS settings to get my GPS running properly. Just before my 30 day return/refund period had almost lapsed I decided to exchange my device. Sprint tried to talk me into some drawn out process of dealing with advanced tech support and starting a ticket on the issue which would have gone way beyond my 30 day period to exchange the phone. To make a short story long, exchanging the phone couldn't have been more convenient and upon setting up Quick GPS and trying out the installed Live Search application, my phone found 9 satelites within seconds. I guess it was the device. Just a cautionary tale that if you think you've tried everything to get your GPS working, there's no harm in getting another Touch Pro2.

Can anyone help with this one - I started an installation of TomTom 7.91 and accidentally selected "install to device" instead of "install to storage card". I immediately terminated the install process (I had to kill the task from task mgr), but now I'm unable to re-install it (either to internal memory or storage card). The installation process starts, but then hangs with the progress bar at the first increment. I've tried soft resets but this makes no difference. TomTom doesn't appear on the "Remove Programs" list either, so I can't remove the previously-started installation. Can anyone suggest how I can resolve this?

I'm running Miri's excellent WM6.5 ROM (v3.0).

hi.

Ive bought a t-mobile g2 touch from germany last week and a havent found the correct file to update it with. Do any of you have the correct file so can update it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheBrit:
If the T-Mobile UK file does not work then maybe you need to get in touch with T-Mobile DE and ask them if and when they will be releasing the update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i updated my german g2 touch with the mcr2.3 successfully (!except for mms!). newest EU radio (63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18) works also.

i read somewhere that t-mobile is going to release the update (to which version?) on 1st of november, but neither do i know the source of that statement nor can i recall where i read it.

btw the mcr contains german language and the custom locale program, so switching it to german as main language is a matter of seconds.

Hi all,

just noticed something funny happened, as this morning I noticed no email alerts. Just checked the data synchronisation tab, and every stopped syncing from about last night midnight. As well as this, the mail one has a constant, non-moving sync icon on it.

Any one else had this problem? AFAIK, I haven't changed anything for a while, no new apps, ROM, radio for at least 2 weeks.

Thanks in advance :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ElChouch:
Since I have flashed a certain rom which I don't remember of, I keep having two files on my sd card (auto.exe and autorun.inf) I can't delete no matter what I try they always come back (format SD, delete via terminal, delete via antivir)...

Problem is that antivir tells me they contain trojans, does someone have information about that files ? Am I the only one with these files on my SD ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] comfort69:
I bet you are seeing them whenever you plug your phone into your pc and browse the sdcard. This is when the virus on your PC is creating the new files on your sdcard.

It was not the rom that caused the problem. Your pc is infected and as soon as you plug a drive in that has write access to it the virus writes those files to it to try and replicate itself. I bet if you plug a usb drive into your computer it will do the very same thing.

Install a decent antivirus package on your pc and/or a few of the many free antivirus scanners on the web.

Hi all,

I actually have a HTC Diamond 2 and my provider is SFR.

I have 2 data connections available :

- a data and mail conection called SL2SFR

- a wap connexion called WAP SFR used for a GPS program (SFR Find And Go)

My default data connection is the SL2SFR. Each time I want to use the SFR Find and Go, I need to change the default connection.

It would be great to have a little software that will permit to choose the connection I want to use .. and what could be more great is to have a today plugin (for manillatodaypage for example) for a quicker access ....

Do someone do a such software ?

Regards

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormlv:
Did you guys check the HTC site lately?

They have released the specs of HTC Touch HD2

http://www.htc.com/www/product/hd2/specification.html

which seem pretty impressive...

I for one, will make the change to Snapdragon (MUAHAHAHA)...what about you guys?

What's your take on this?

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de Wolfe:
Looks really good. The problem may be wm6.5. Hopefully it is going to come with a guaranted upgrade to wm7.

X3 of course has a chance against it imo. Android is improving consequently and the phone will be build directly by SE (or not?). Specs are fantastic.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Well, they still have a chance for one simple reason - the HD2 doesn't have a HW keyboard. That aside the HD2 owns them in every aspect.

I'm going for the first WM6.5 based HTC phone which has both keyboard and Snapdragon - it'll be a blast!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
its the hw keyboard that will help the x2 to sale, also it looks a lot better than the current snapdragon devices (htc hd2 and toshiba tg01)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sx1-doc:
i am keeping ma X1 till new device pup up with:

hw keyboard+snapdragon or tegra+4 way direction pad(why the hell there are taking out 4 way directonpad from new devices?)+5 mpx or more and at least 1500 mAh battery.

i will pass leo too
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
All that processing power and specs mean nothing without a d-pad and a hw keyboard. If they add those to the Leo, it would be the best device in history, if not, just another phone with good specs, but bad design.

People need good control over their devices in order to do a good job at anything. Hw keyboard and a d-pad are a must.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
That was the reason why X1 was my choice,

now X2 looks like the only one retaining all those necessary things.

So in the end I rather forget Snapdragon and have usable device,

than all-touch screen beast which would drive me crazy.

I really say - onscreen keyboard is my "hate".

Don't imagine any serious writing with it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatledog:
I agree, I'm ready to give up my Omnia and get a phone w/ a real sliding KB. Unfortunately, there aren't many that are ATT 3G! I've even thought of the Nokia N97!!! shudder...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyellow:
Yes, HD2 owns over x2, x3 and even x4 and x5. why??? XDA Support, that's why.

but not having a hardware keyboard is indeed a miss, since i got used to the kb of tp2 wich feels so much better and so is making typing fun again..... but....

I'll wait for tp3, wich hopefully comes with same specs as HD2, maybe with only 4"screen, whatever.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
I doubt that wm7 will be out untill q4 next year

judging how many of the devices from last year got

wm6.5 updates I would not hold my breath for a wm7 update

for any wm6.5 device you buy now
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
I agree with the last two paragraphs, but what's the point of buying the same device again? X2 has no improvements + it is ... ugly!

Your second paragraph is spot on. I already have a usable device - X1. i won't upgrade until a similar product with better and up-to-date hardware comes out. X2 is not that product IMHO, so I'll wait for Leo Pro or TP3 lolz.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormlv:
Indeed....the X1 was my choice over the HD because it had a keyboard and over TP2 because it looked better in my opinion.

On the other hand I sorta have stopped typing much on my X1 (Maybe because of X1's poor quality keyboard. I remember typing WAY faster on my old P1i) and this is why I'd be tempted to go towards the HD2. I can just imagine watching normal xvids with no skips on that beautiful 4.3" screen...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leobox1:
unfortunately.. X1 was my reason why i left for touch hd.

my h/w keyboard had double tapping... no one at service centre cares .. etc etc etc..

can someone give me a summary what the X2 is all about?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_legaspi:
i too agree. no point in upgrading because its not really an upgrade other than having a slightly bigger screen
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Sure, everyones choice.

I will be really happy with even better keyb, much better camera,

WM 6.5 and improved UI/Panels.

These things are not minor for me....

And that also matters - I find X2 better looking than X1.....

Finally still nothing on market what would really convince me!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
its only worth getting the x2 if i can get it as a free replacement as its got the same or better hardware so there is no lose in getting a x2.

but u are right in the sense that its not worth buying if u own a x1.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxcheng:
It's screen so big..

How to use without d-pad huh? Many games need it!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
i have noticed that the newer games from spb and astraware are more touchscreen friendly games (iphone like games) and i think most phone companies see that as the future and dont think many of the newer games will be made with stylus or dpad in mind.

but it does not help with games already out that need the dpad.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
I have noticed that as well and it is pathetic. Everyone knows that mobile gaming without a d-pad is impossible and annoying at best. You either need to tilt you head along with the phone or have half the screen obscured by controls and your fingers.

Let's hope they will come to their senses...

I will never buy a phone without a hw keyboard or wiothout a d-pad...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruudfood:
Personal opinion. I have both on the X1 and use neither.

For the minority who need a keyboard then sure, the X2 might do alright particularly for business users. but would business users, like me, need a d-pad? Especially for gaming? I doubt it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Well, it is a personal opinion, but...

Hw keyboard typing is more comfortable than ts typing. It is just the way your body and mind function. Feeling the button is much better.

Most of the WinMo games require a d-pad and ALL of them play better with one. Ts obly games require on-screen controls to pop up. That means that a large portion of the screen is obscure by yyour fingers. The point about the hw keyboard applies as well.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxnoelziexx:
hardware aside, the sony xperia was a shambles of a phone which did pretty well. Form factor and features were it strong points. But failed in other areas, i.e. cracks.

The HD2 will outsell both handsets put together. HTC have decided keyboards are a thing of the past. They have applied capacitive screen to combat this. Each to there own some will argue that they need a keyboard dpad this is not the market HTC is trying to attract with this phone. There looking to prise some of the apple customers away from the locked down iphone. XDA will have bundles of support for the HD2 so it is a win win situation for HTC. I would not put the x1/x2 in competition with the HD2 they are different phones aimed at different markets. If you after a keyboard phone them xperia is a good choice and can be picked up for a fraction of the cost of a HD2.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
just a thought, does anyone know the official sales figures for the x1 and touch hd?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vegito168:
A hardware kybd is a definite must for extreme texters, but seeing as I am not a heavy texter nor do I send out many emails the HD2 may be a good choice. Especially for the eye candy! :p Of course that is just purely personal preference. It all depends on the user. Some are dependent on a HW Kybd, some are not. For those who can live without a HW Kybd, the HD2 will their best bet for an upgrade. I personally am liking the progress on the X3. I am not a big fan of Android, but it sure is luring me. Especially since it will sport the Snapdragon also, but will have only a 4" screen, which is a good choice. Guess I'll wait it out. The X1 is my baby, and I love it to death. I will never give it up, even if I do eventually buy the HD2 or the X3(when it comes out that is). That's my opinion on this topic. Everyone....don't let anyone else discourage you from your opinions with THEIR opinions. Ask for advice and opinions, but in the end, buy what YOU feel will suit you best. Good day all......:cool:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonus:
I agree with many of your points, however, I'm quite sure HTC doesn't expect to steal any appreciable amount of iPhone customers with this phone. It is more likely an attempt to keep winmo users from defecting WebOS, RIM, and/or non-HTC Android phones. If they did expect to get the iPhone crowd, they would be releasing the phone in the US as well as internationally.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froidstar:
well the phone is released in UK, in planned for Asia in a month and US (with 3G network support) - confirmed by a BrightPoint personnel - HTC's distributer.

Been reading the post, i was also trapped between the choice of TP2 and HD2 .. finally decided to get HD2..

1. HTC has the best support on XDA.. thanks to you folks :D

2. Capacitive touch screen

3. Snapdragon processor

4. 1 gighz processer

5. Im sure id be able to get a cooked version on WM7 on it w/e it releases :p

6. i do a lot of emailing while driving thru the phone.. qwerty dsnt help me then

7. its f***ing irresistable

respect all your preferences, but these are mine :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeoneSimple:
I'll nicely wait untill HTC delivers something similar as the "HTC Touch Pro 3", with the same 1Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon as the HD2.

The HD2 looks nice and all, and i think videoplayback and flash10 will just be damn awesome with such specs.

However I cannot type blind on a software keyboard, which i can on my Xperia.

Also, all things considered, I dont mind sticking to my Xperia, apart from the sluggish CPU, its pretty good at what it does, that is for me, browsing the internet and playing my music.

And after all, I spend 500E on the damn thing, it deserves some love, even after 1 year.

Sony MUST go Snapdragon 1024 MHz, > 3.5" screen & 12 Mpix cam
