Hey guys,

I can't find a way to update my radio or wimax. I have no idea where to find the files or anything. I'm running Baked Snack 9.6 and the battery life is being sucked away like a milkshake (like, say...17 minutes unplugged, down to 87% battery life).

Is this due to an outdated radio? Or "Wimax"? (whatever that is)

How does one find the newest radio for their device/ROM? I have searched on here and Google and have come up with nothing.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] jrun:
Noob question, but when people post in their signatures they are on this radio version or that radio version.. what exactly does that mean? What is changing in these radio versions? What makes the other radios better? Is my radio version (using stock, unrooted other than unrevoked3) not as good?
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
Read the stickies at the top of the development section.

Radio updates/flashes can improve a lot of things. Think of it like updating device drivers in windows. Some of the advantages of updating are:

Improved performance

Fixing bugs

Adding new features

Better power management

Improve efficiency

Streamline code

Yeah it may seem like a stupid or trivial question from someone that is new or still learning, so what. If this irritates a person, then go to the next thing. If someone wants to try and be patient and help them, then that is fine.
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
u need to head on over to the android development section, i knew about none of this stuff coming from windows mobile, but i understand it all now, took a few days of reading thru posts and using google, but one u get a hold on it its almost a piece of cake, im just trying to save you some headache because people can be pretty harsh around here if you dont try to learn it first and just ask questions that have been answered over and over
[EVO 4G General] strung:
Nobody really knows. It's a mystery.
[EVO 4G General] cocobongo77:
The mystery is the PRI cant fix yet to 140.003 after unroot. damm, hope someone find a soon solution, unless wait until a new OTA update and change everything.
[General Questions and Answers] pwntatochips:
Yeah I finally got my activesync to work and now I want to put stuff on it, but I'm a noob so I don't know how. I bought it from eBay unlocked since I use t-mobile. And came pre-rommed or whatever you call it with White GTX. I don't like it so much but I do like Cookie's Home Tab look. So How do I even do it, cause I don't want to hard reset, cause I'm afraid to lose it's unlock capability. Also I was wondering where do I get apps and games? I was thinking of using http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ for it, but I still don't know even how to put it on. Please respond! Thanks.

***Update 3*** 09th August 2011

ALK have restored the CP8 download. Link here - thanks to Antus.

***Update 2*** 06th June 2011

It would seem with the introduction of CoPilot 9, a number of changes have occurred to their web site. As such, the old free APK update for CP8 has been removed from their system and can no longer be downloaded. It's still legit to own as it requires activation, so if someone could host the file contact me and I'll add the link, otherwise, this thread is effectively invalid. Sadly I no longer have the APK in question, because I just invested in CP9.

***Update*** 15th August 2010

This isn't specifically for the HD2. In fact this works for any device! WinMo -> Android OR Android -> WinMo.

Since those geniuses Coutlla/Dan fixed GPS for the HD2 Android, I thought for those of you who have purchased Co-Pilot and wish to transfer it over to Android, I'd make a small guide.

Requirements:

- A *LEGAL* copy of CoPilot 8 for Windows Mobile and the license key

- The latest version of CoPilot 8 for Android (works in Froyo now): LINK RESTORED

I bought it about 8 months ago for my HD2, for Windows Mobile 6.5. Great piece of software. I contacted ALK to ask if I could transfer between OS's and they said no, it wouldn't work! It also clearly states on their web site that transfers don't work: LINK RESTORED

So being stubborn, I thought I'd take my own license from WinMo and deactivate it, stick it into Android and needless to say - it works and I have a fully legal copy of CoPilot 8 running on my Android Froyo device. Those cheeky beggers at ALK!!!

So how to get it working:

Make sure you still have CoPilot installed under Windows Mobile and activated;

Launch CoPilot. Go to the Menu|Settings|Licensing (NOTE: If you can't see this, find "More Settings" and select that first to show Licensing);

Select your Map Region from the list (Mine was UK and Ireland), then press "Deactivate";

CoPilot will now shut down;

Boot into Android and using an installer, install the APK file which is in the requirements section at the top of the page or here (LINK RESTORED);

Open CoPilot from the Menu and it will ask for your license info. Enter this as you did when you first bought CoPilot (usually a username and password);

Bada Bing. That should be it, all working!

Just to clarify one further time, this is only for legally purchased licenses. No questions about dodgy software please. Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] myjupiler:
Very interesting, thanks !

How about Map data ? where do u put it on the card ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
It should be on the root of your SD Card in a folder "CoPilot".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] busterdan:
I wonder if the text to speech feature will also work.... using the current key.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
Thanks, thought that would work, and now I know it will! I'll be setting it up as well.

That was the only reason I would need to go back to WM. I use CP8 all the time!

Hero!:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
It has TTS built in!!! Don't even need to buy it! My traffic key worked also! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
Haha, my motivation for switching was the same. It's better in Android IMO. For example you use the Android keyboard so it's qwerty and accepts voice input. It also has controllable volume over bluetooth :D For me I always listen to Music via bluetooth and in WinMo there was no control over individual volumes. If I had the volume at a normal level for music, the speech was far too loud. Now it's all controllable :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
Man I hated that Copilot non qwerty! Wow, speech too! Neat, just need to download the cp8 app for android now...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mic_888:
@OP (and everyone else)

Would anyone mind if I wrote this up on the front page, as it's great news. Anyone foresee any issues if this becomes 'publicised'? If so, I will hold off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
My only concern would be that Copilot ALK may not want us to transfer. But I do think that other HD2 owners or anyone coming from WM should be, and would be, happy to transfer/use CP8 that they paid for on Android.

So I guess ...go for it. I'm switching ASAP just in case...hehe.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mic_888:
Ok, cool thanks. Just thought I'd quickly check - I had the same thoughts as you (noellenchris). I've written up a short article on this, so it should get published sometime tonight/tomorrow (GMT).

If there any strong objections let me know :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] busterdan:
All working, the only thing I should have done was deactivate Premium Live Services first in WM.... before the UK/IRELAND maps.... not really a big problem as the live services are a waste of time anyway.

To be honest, comparing Copilot to the free Google Navigation app I think Copilot will be dead and buried within a year.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jasmo1984:
what about tomtom navigator?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisnash:
deactivation in android?

I have done this before to transfer between winmo devices and it works a treat. Do you know if you can do the reverse of this and deactivate it in Android and then reactivate it back in winmo? Be useful to know before I get locked in to android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
Quite frankly - I'm flattered, and yes of course you can post it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
Yes it is 100% reversible. ALK can't be bothered with all the enquires I think and I truly believe it's a good way for them to make a quick extra money! As a user who paid for it once, I refuse to pay again. Take Photoshop for example, if you buy it for a mac, you can use the same license on a PC and vice versa.

Enjoy!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
AFAIK, there is no TomTom for Android. Quite frankly they are so behind with their mobile software, it's just not worth using anyway.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
Hope ALK is planning on integrating the contacts in CP8.... Other than that, it works great.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Paradasos:
Anyone know if it will be possible to deactivate my WM version when I don't own my old windows phone any more?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
Yes you can, but you have to contact them via email or their web site. Just explain and ask them to release your license. I've done it on numerous occasions.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schoei1:
Right after I did the activation in Android, CoPilot gave a reminder message "If you need to transfer CoPilot to new phone, maker sure you deactivate it before the transfer". So, this should be fully legit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
Exactly. Given that you can download the actual software for free directly from the ALK web site, the bit you pay for is the map. I can't see how it's not legit if you've already paid for the map once!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DavidC1980:
I think TomTom are (or have) stopping support for mobile platforms because of the business they lose through piracy. Their focus is 100% on standalone Sat Nav units, not software for mobile phones anymore.

DC
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
It's a shame really. They should use online licensing like CoPilot really.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Paradasos:
Great news. thanks

HAHA my family will attest that it caused MUCH cursing from me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jromeo350:
let me try to get this straight... for the maps, you just copy the folder storagecard\copilot\NA from the WM install to the \copilot folder of the SD? not in the \copilot\maps folder? thanks in advance!

**just tried it and sure enough, thats all you gotta do (for anyone interested)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rogerek77:
Actually no. You are doing nothing. Just install CoPilot in Android. I've just done it and it found the maps without any problem. Maps should stay in copilot folder located in root of your SD card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fermalobos:
What about Garmin?, I bougth it in December for my htc touch, and now I have a droid
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:

thanks i also bought my hd2 back in november and bought copilot but didnt realise i could use it on android without buying it again, followed your post and have now got a working copilot saved me another £35, cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] targett:
This has been a life saver!

Only trouble is that my CoPilot (android) won't recognise my contacts' details so have to input them manual each time I want to navigate, grrrrr...

Any ideas or thoughts?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
No worries mate.

As in, it sees the contact's addresses but won't work with them or just don't seem them at all? I found that using comma's and spaces at the end of each part of the address fixed my address book (in google maps as well).

Glad it helped though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] targett:
See the pic I've attached but the contacts button in CoPilot is shaded so I guess it's not picking them up...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
Do you keep your contacts on google/phone/sim?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JonSolo:
I managed to get it installed in Android and it locks GPS just fine. My only problem lies with Destination. It took forever to recognize the city I typed. And then it could not find the street...which was Main St. by chance...the oldest street in the city.

Any thoughts on why the database isn't finding this in Android (worked fine in WM)? I am using Swype keyboard if that makes any difference.

Jon

Edit: it only finds a few major highways in any town...some cities (i.e. Atlanta, GA) it finds NO streets. And one other quick question...can any of you get the PC software to recognize it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] targett:
At present on Google but tried on phone too with no luck :(

Not enough room on sin for all my contacts.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JonSolo:
Actually it will not work because the ALK website states that this feature is not available with the Android version yet.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
Not too sure about the first question :-/ Very strange, works ok for me.

As for the PC Software it works fine. Don't use HTC Sync though, use it as a mass storage device!

This works. But for my it wasn't needed until my latest android update (bangster 1.4) before that I only needed to install android an it automaticly took the license of winmo. Now i just had to deactivate my winmo license and didn't activate the android one cause it was already activated
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DBZero:
Awesome!

Awesome, THANKS! I was already in touch with ALK support but they just said "NO" when I wanted to active CPL on Android.

Changing Android ROMs

I have installed Android on my HD2 and subsequently moved my CoPilot 8 to Android and the licence activated successfully.

If i now want to try another version of Android on my HD2 do I need to deactivate Co-pilot before the change over and is there any way of keeping all my settings and saved destinations?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] apallohadas:
No. Just backup the app with titanium backup, then restore it to the new build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] apallohadas:
Did you download any maps? You know, start the app, goto maps, and download them?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JonSolo:
I totally feel like an idiot. NO! I had did not download maps. I had already done that within WM and did not realize it. Thank you...downloading now.

Eish. Funny, how the maps showed up, but obviously there is a database attached to a fresh download that will work in Android.

Guess us tech heads need to be told step by step...the obvious slips past us...ha!:o

Edit: I downloaded maps which only resulted in all of the data not appearing in CoPilot. No images, maps, or database (towns, zips, etc). My guess would now be to completely wipe all aspects of CoPilot off of the SD card and start fresh. I will be updating my Android version soon again anyway so I will report back what I find.

You have to installe the latest Copilot apk, which can be found on their website.

Then you can download the latest maps within the program, as i said for free :)

Thanks for this guide. I wonder if someone can help me with my situation.

I bought CP8 for WM and neglected to deactivate it before flashing Android on my HD2. The customer service department at ALK is telling me it's not permissible to transfer licenses from one platform to another.

I did manage to back up the contents of my flash card. Is it possible to just transfer a license file from one location to another? Otherwise, how would you recommend I pick up and get CP8 from WM to Android?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
Just simply say that you need your license deactivating as you've had to reinstall your windows phone. Simples. You can still then reactivate it in android after, they are none-the-wiser!!

That ALK website has got to be the most awkward site to navigate - I can NEVER find what I'm looking for and have to keep coming to this site and elsewhere to follow links.

Anyway, I'm having some issues with Copilot freezing so was going to go for a completely fresh install. I've deactivated from the phone, removed from Android and was going to delete the Copilot file from SD to start again. But before I do that - where can I download everything I need from the site? I have the apk file but presumably need all the database (maps etc) file, not least because I understand there is a new map release.

EDIT: Forget the question - fresh install of the apk then leads to downloading all the map files

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] teenccu:
I never needed to deactivate my licence or execute those steps.

When intall a new rom ..I just install the copilot 8 apk((or u can install from market) and thats it. When first time copilot ran it would find my licence information automatically as I registered with the same google email that I use in my android(otherwise I beleive u can. And the map file are already in the copilot folder of the sd card which is also picked up automatically. This way I can use the copilot running in the same time in winmo and android both sharing te map files from the common location

Quick note of thanks for advice on migrating Copilot 8 from WM6 to Android.

ALK said it couldn't be done. Your instructions work.

If you have LIVE Traffic subscription, that also needs to be deactivated first.

Many thanks

Adrian
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 800jimbo:
I still have an issue of freezing but I think that it is a phone problem (memory capacity) rather than specifically a CoPilot problem. It is a Royal pain in the backside, and normally shows up some time after another process (phone call or email) has occurred during use of CoPilot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Markostrom:
CoPilot Live 8 multiplatform transfer

Many thanks for the advice. It seems to work fine on the Desire HD. I do think it's kind of underhand that CoPilot will not accept this. At least they're not as bad as TomTom who seem besoted with security... that said, it'll probably take TT another 5 years to catch up with the Android platform anyhow! Mark
