Last week on another Forum I part of, one of the more experienced members released info on NavNGO's new iGO 2009. Don't know yet if the satnav program will be called iGO9 but that is what it has called in private posts I have been following. Here is the link to the undeveloped page:

http://www.igomyway.com/en/#

Supposedly NavNGO is working on improving much of the features we have seen in iGO8 like the Driver Alerts. While some users are worried that NavNGO will leave behind the PNA market, I find that hard to believe.

The primary reason for that is because the PNA version is easily adapted to other platforms like PDAs, 2Dins and smartphones. And knowing some characters on other boards, I am sure they will find a way to make it compatible with their old devices. Hopefully it will be more user-friendly towards finger-friendly smartphones and possess TTS. Some companies mistakenly think of smartphones as being PDAs and iGO8 did not have TTS available for its PDA version.

Most users like me have more than one platform or device. I presently have a PDA and smartphone. Plus I provide "expert advice" to my Brother and a friend who have a different smartphone and PNA respectively. For this reason I believe others will find a way to port it to other devices.

Still, NavNGO has promised to release maps for those platforms up till 2010. Personally I don't travel in too many newly built up areas. So, my future 2010 maps will mostly likely serve me for at least two to three years beyond.

iGO9 probably will not be out much before February 2010 but I could be wrong (I hope; I hope)!
[General Topics] browny58:
I think they are waiting for Wm 7 to show.
[General Topics] ronp76:
I don't think so. NavNGo had a lot of problems with its Driver Alert feature and the fact that one set of maps worked with it. It seems from what I read on other Forums that they are working on branding iGO onto other devices or platforms. I bet they felt the urge or need to get it on iPhone and Android while waiting to develop iGO9 for smartphones.

The smartphone version will or should be an upgrade of the PNA version. When I got iGO8 for my PDA, they sold me the PDA version that that does not have TTS. TTS is an integral part of a satnav program. I want streets, exits, etc all announced. I only hope the smartphone version will not be a limited PDA version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dan McBoost:
After uninstalling this I had a "display switch" program that just error-ed when opened, saying it was linked to the missing PSshutXP program.

After a few soft reboots/resets the display switch program is gone, but I have an error each time I restart the phone.

What is left on the phone? What do I need to remove?

Thanks in advance!!

Dan
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dan McBoost:
No one has run into this yet?

It you solve it, I will PM you a high res huge boobie photo i took:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Reivax:
PSshutXP

In the registry (with Total Commander or similar), take off everything about PSshutXP.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanpei:
is this can be done just in the kernel source?

can any body provide some info or suggestions? sample is better :p

thx.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
theory is: replace bootanimation from /bin with a blank script. Make sure you backup your bootanimation in case that doesn't work
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DownloaderZ:
I like this idea too! It appeals to my nerdiness.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumfuq:
Sadly however it is not this easy. This is something I have wanted for a while and I have tried this. It just gives a black screen. If you look at the source code for bootanimation it even has a disable option(statically set to 0), if this is enabled and recompiled it also just yields a black screen. I think we would need a way to display via opengl or whatnot.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00233:
Text output would kick ass
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanpei:
thank you all guys, at least I get some response :p

I have some thoughts, I will try some different way to make it possible.

not boot animation, just the first splash screen. there are no /bin since nothing have been mounted.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endpl:
I found bootanimation in /system/bin

mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/bin
cp bootanimation /sdcard
rm bootanimation

And now maybe my phone startup faster, but i have black screen instead of booting text output...

Any other ideas?
[HD2 General] zetex:
Hi,

i have been reading lots of posts about unlocking the HD2 but they all seem to be the O2 variant.

has anybody had any luck unlocking the T-Mobile UK Version??

so far i have tried 3 unlockers, who are

http://mobileunlocked.com/ - refunded me after 24hrs unable to get the code.

http://www.unlock-phone-htc.com - refunded me after 24hrs unable to get the code.

http://leo.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-HD2/ - again waiting to here from them, nothing so far and its been 24hrs

so far not lookin good .... judt wondering if anyone has had any luck getting a code??

thanks alot

Z:)
[HD2 General] andy586:
..have you tried asking them to unlock it?...ok can cost £15 and you have to wait a till youve had it a month but they will unlock it for you...... (t-mobile that is)
[HD2 General] zetex:
hi mate

i will ask the person i bought it of, to see if he will contact t mobile for me...

thanks

z

ps has anyone had any luck with obtaining the unlock code outside of t mobile??
[HD2 General] deeky1:
Maybe not what you were after zetex but I flashed the 1.48 ROM over my T Mobile HD2 via the goldcard method.

Result unbranded/unlocked HD2 with all the HTC apps reinstated that T Mobile decided to remove i.e you tube, jetcet printer, co pilot trial
[HD2 General] zetex:
hi

updated just had the second one come back to me with a refund

http://leo.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-HD2/

they cant get the code either..

not looking good at all....

Z
[HD2 General] zetex:
your could be my saving star..... i will have a look into that

i didnt realise by updating the rom using the goldcard method actually unlocked the phone as welll...

is this true, i dont mind flashing it at all... just want it to work on o2

thanks alot

Z
[HD2 General] cityslicker:
Your best option would seem is to upgrade your ROM to unbranded 1.48 via goldcard?

That's what I have done from O2 ROM. I'm sure it would work for T Mobile. :)
[HD2 General] cityslicker:
I just changed my sim and it doesnt unlock my phone it is still tied to O2 sorry :confused:
[HD2 General] madbird:
hi,

i may sound stupid, but are you sure that t-mob uk devices has a netlocked?. i only ask because german t-mob devices arent netlocked at all. the only (stupid) thing t-(in)mobile germany does, was to lock the internet connection. so you can dialin only via them, but that could be fixed by simply using the goldcard method to update to a nice brandingfree rom.

regards mad
[HD2 General] zetex:
hi

so by flashing it using an unbranded rom with a goldcard does not unlock it??

really sorry im all new to this??

thanks alot

Z:)
[HD2 General] madbird:
hi,

maybe we are talking about different things. but for me unlocking means removing the sim/netlock. so that after unlocking, i can use any sim from any provider i like, to make phonecalls etc..

what happens if you put a simcard from a different provider to your hd2? can you use your phone to call someone? if so your phone is not sim/netlocked anyhow.

mad
[HD2 General] thompsonint:
Hi, I was wondering the same a Madbird, as I bought a Tmobile HD2 a couple of weeks ago, and was very pleased when i realised it didnt have a tmobile badge on, and when i tried my Virgin sim it worked fine. Maybe I just struck lucky!
[HD2 General] monty_rm:
Use www.your-unlock.com It's what I used for mine and it worked no trouble, just put your other sim in and turn it on and it will ask you for an unlock code, enter the one that site e-mails you.
[HD2 General] zetex:
hi mate

thanks for the info... i will give them a try... mines locked to tmobile just tried another sim in and it asks for a code...

just hope this one comes back to with the code

thanks once again

Z:)
[HD2 General] zetex:
just got an email from this company and they have failed to get me unlock code....

not looking very good at the moment.... looks good in the box though...

[HD2 General] ghatsby:
This works for T-Mobile UK

Try unlockdata.co.uk. They generated a code which I was able to enter into my HD2 to allow all networks..
[HD2 General] triniboi:
Hey, I got a T-Mobile UK HD2 also. I have also just submitted my code to Your-Unlock.com. Well after seeing your post I would not expect much. Anyway I did a search and found this guy on E-Bay. Thinking of giving him a try. Has some good reviews also. Check it out let me know what you think. This is what the add says "Unlock HTC HD2 Leo T-Mobile O2 3 UK Code = FAST"

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Unlock-HTC-HD...QptZUK_Phones_Software_RL?hash=item1c0e880071
[HD2 General] paynejra:
just been to the shops to try unlock but they said none would be available until next 2 weeks.

Anyone with better luck
[HD2 General] kitshah:
id be interested to hear from anyomne also as am about to recieve my hd2 from t-mobile on monday - any successful unlock codes, or any successful flashing of the rom to get the hd2 sim unlocked? im assuming i will recieve the phone locked to t-mobile but will update in case it arrives unlocked.
[HD2 General] triniboi:
Well I have not found a solution as yet. Tried a guy on ebay but seems he's unable to unlock also. Anyone has any luck unlocking the t-mobile uk hd2 online? :)
[HD2 General] EssexboyRacer:
Guys I can confirm changing the rom using the Goldcard method on a Tmobile UK branded HD2 does not unlock the sim to all networks.
[HD2 General] bukwit:
Goldcard method will NOT simunlock a UK T-Mobile HD2. I purchased mine from a t-Mobile store a few weeks ago and have successfully unlocked it through http://www.unlock-phone-online.com/unlock-htc-hd2.html

It's a French site however the necessary bits are in english. Took approx 48hrs to receive unlock code.
[HD2 General] triniboi:
Thanks for the info. Is your HD T-Mobile UK? I think the problem is with the T-Mobile UK versions. I tried a few sites. Well if yours is also T-Mobile UK I would give it a try. Thanks for the info. :)
[HD2 General] madbird:
hi,

i stumble up on, a different solution on ebay. i have no idea if it works ore not but for that price i think it's worth a try.

mad.
[HD2 General] bukwit:
Like I said mine is a UK T-Mobile HD2 that I purchased from a T-Mobile store in London and this is one of the only sites that will unlock these.
[HD2 General] diamondX04HT:
thats gr8...seems there is hope for UK HD2 now...anybody else had success with them?
[HD2 General] rafa:
Got my TMobile UK sim unlock code via www.swiftphones.co.uk this morning. They tried via HTC first but were unable to get the code then went direct to TMobile.
[HD2 General] triniboi:
Thanks for the info!Would give them a try.
[HD2 General] HTCHD2NEW:
T-Mobile UK

Dont know if this helps or confuses, but I have upgraded my ROM to vers 1.48 and 1.61 and now I can use any vendors SIM card in the phone (Tried my company Vodafone SIM and my GFs 3 SIM and they both work fine). However when I use my original T-Mobile SIM then its only the T-Mobile network thats available. So I take this to mean that the phone is unlocked but the SIM is still locked. Which is fine with me :-)

Cheers

Steve
[HD2 General] triniboi:
Funny enough, the first thing I did when I got my t-mobile uk hd2 was change rom to 1.48, and it still had the sim lock. My o2 sim did not work in it. If I'm not wrong the goldcard method is only used to change roms but not sim unlock. Seems some people phones like you also sim unlocks. Mind did not. :(
[HD2 General] papajohn:
Yep, I had one of these sims from some years ago for an old Nokia. And it worked fine for my O2-SIMlocked HD2! Best present before leaving the UK for some warmer cliamtes this christmas! ;-)

unlockitnow

Hey Guys,

I unlocked my T-Mobile HD2 using unlockitnow.com. Took about 24 hours. I needed it urgently before travelling which is why I went to them. If you can wait a couple of weeks, just call T-Mobile. They can send you an unlock code by post.

G'luck!
[HD2 General] iky10:

[HD2 General] ruscik:
Hi just got my T-mobile HD2.

[HD2 General] triniboi:
You don't have to select T-Mobile. Just select HTC then HD2...Click the unlock button and follow the instructions. Good Luck! ;)
[HD2 General] ccristal:
Did you go for the factory code or for the operator code?
[HD2 General] thebomber:

Unable to sim unlock T-Mobile HTC HD2

I have tried HTCGate, your-unlock.com and uniquephones none of them came back with a code. I am currently waiting on some guy from ebay to get back to me, I submitted the code last night and havn't heard anything back from him yet. So I am guessing he won't be able to unlock it either.

What do I do now, try a shop to unlock another way?!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120502878321&_trksid=p2759.l1259#ht_6921wt_1165

Response "HTC Gate to me

show details 24 Dec (3 days ago)

Hi,

Your unlock code can not be calculated and you shall receive your refund within the next 2-3 business days.

Regards,

Alan

Then tried your-unlock.com

Dear Customer,

Sorry I have been unable to generate the correct unlock code for your mobile. There are so many mobile out there sometimes the firmware on certain versions mean I cant generate the code.

I have sent your details over the accounts team who will send you a refund. Although normally quicker please allow up to 7 days for the refund to get back into your account.

Once again I apologise for not being able to get the correct code for your mobile. Your only option may be your network operator or a local shop who can unlock via a cable.

Best Regards,

your-unlock.com

Finally tried uniquephones

Hey,

Unfortunately we have been unable to find an unlock code for your handset. This is a common occurance and there are many reasons why a code cannot be found. Some of these reasons may include:

1. Stolen or lost handsets

2. Incorrect phone details

3. Unpaid bill with carrier

4. A very new/old handset.

We are not given the reason why any individual code can not be found.

We may be able to get your unlock code from your carrier. You will not be charged any additional amount than your original payment and it usually takes less than 48 hours for a carrier code request. If you wish to do this please visit your order tracking area.

If you wish to cancel your order at this point, it isn't a problem. If you don't select a carrier for this handset within the next 48 hours your order will automatically be refunded.

If you have any questions or concerns, or if you just want to share a good story, drop us a line at support@uniquephones.com or simply reply to this e-mail.

Thanks Again,

The UniquePhones Team
[HD2 General] thebomber:

[HD2 General] nyezee:
i am hopeing to pick up a HD2 on wednes day and it is currently locked to Tmobile. whats the average price for the sites to generate an unlock code?

[HD2 General] bahardman:
I got my HTC-HD2 unlocked today by the guys and gals over there at "unlockitnow". It took about 24hrs. for them to send me the codes, but it was certainly worth the wait.
[HD2 General] fastmike:
HTCgate??? They took my money 3 days ago and still no code!!!:mad:

Despite their advertisement "code in 15-20 minutes, but can take up to 3 hours", IT IS A LIE!!!

I will never recommend them to anybody.
[HD2 General] irishkris:
15 hours after ordering with HTCGate for a T-Mobile UK HD2 and no communication whatsoever...not looking good.
[HD2 General] All Day On XDA:
HTCGate problems too...

I have a T-Mobile locked phone too. I'm still waiting for them to unlock me since they agreed to do so for a fee which I paid a month ago.....

Since I was in a hurry as I was moving to another country, I paid HTCgate to unlock it quickly. This was over 2 weeks ago (in fact around Christmas). They said they would be unable to as some servers of some kind had not been updated and my phone was too 'new'. They promised a refund.

To date, I have not received a refund, I have emailed them twice, first asking for a refund, the second offering them to keep the money if they could try unlocking my phone again. There has been no response whatsoever.

[HD2 General] ghats83:
Hi guys!

I don't really care about which networks my HD2 will work on, I will only use it for t-mobile. However, it would be good to get the original HTC rom so features like youtube ans co pilot are still there.

I managed to install youtube but it conflicts with video playback, videos don't play at all other than on youtube.

What are the other benifits of getting it unlocked?
[HD2 General] fastmike:
Again, don't go to HTCgate. They will only release code that are already available for free by calling providers.

If brand new contract, they will just steal your 20 dollars!

I have been waiting and waiting and they are not even answering any of the email your are sending to them...
[HD2 General] irishkris:
Finally got a response from HTCGate confirming they couldn't get the unlock code and have processed a refund through PayPal.

Now waiting for a response from your-unlock.com - submitted a request about 10 hours ago.
[HD2 General] irishkris:
your-unlock.com came back without a result as well. Next!
[HD2 General] Gajet:
You don't need to SIM unlock for that. Just flash a ROM that has not had those removed.
[HD2 General] irishkris:
Trying unlockitnow.com this time - let's see how they get on with it. Will post the outcome here.
[HD2 General] irishkris:
Code just came back from unlockitnow.com - time to head home and see if it works!
[HD2 General] irishkris:
unlockitnow did the trick. Code works perfectly - typical that it would be the most expensive though!

Wonder why they can do it where others couldn't...?

Unlock HD 2

I havent got a clue be HONEST ...

I had HD 1 before and unlock HD was really easy not like HD 2 NIGHTMARE :confused:
[HD2 General] Incarniac:
Having just been in the same situation (having got what must be a brand new T-Mobile UK locked HD2), I have not managed to unlock mine. In the end it was UnlockItNow that sorted me out. They are more expensive than most others, and it took a while (a day and a half), but they sent me the code (where the others couldn't) and it worked like a charm.

These were the ones I tried - in order:

htcgate.com: no code, waiting for refund (said 2-3 business days)

your-unlock.com: no code, waiting for refund (said up to 7 business days!)

e-unlocks (eBay): no code, refunded (in literally no time)

unlockitnow.com: got code, worked
