I read it on a thread (I WISH I could remember where so credit could be given where due)... but the solution worked like a charm.
I have a Dash running WM6 on T-Mob. Since the launch of GMM2 Ive been both excited and terribly disappointed that I couldn't get it to work. However... the solution is simple: get "appunlock" (from surreal networks) and install. Then reboot.
That's it. After I did this, my location showed IMMEDIATELY on the GMM app as a happy little blue dot. YAY!!!
Happy locating everyone!!!
Thank you so much for the tip. I used the APP unloked on my S621 and MyLocation feature works now.
Where you been?

Um honestly where have you been? It's been known for quite a while that you can get MANY smartphone apps to work on the dash by simply app unlocking it. I'd suggest hunting around first before posting because you're dishing old info...
yeh you haven't app unlocked your phone yet?? wtf
You guys are butts. I don't even know what "MyLocation" is or what it's for, but I have app unlocked my phone and performed many tweaks. That's why we come to this site--to learn new things!
App Unlock for GMM
Okay, my HTC S621 also says 'location is temporarily unavailable' Since I've had the phone I've upgraded it to Rogers WM6 (although I'm with Suncom), I've installed numerous applications like Google Maps, Microsoft Voice Command, TCPMP + plugins, Palringo, Fring, etc. I did have to use the methods mentioned on this site to temporarily lift the CID lock to install WM6.
But I'm thinking that this would that mean that my phone isn't application locked. Or does the application unlock, do something else. It seems to me that since I can pretty much install anything I'd like, that my phone is not application locked, and therefore this GMM proposed fix isn't really a fix.
I look forward to your responses.
Thank you,
Tim
just tryin' to lend a hand...
Im no expert.... clearly. However, Ive never had to appunlock my phone to install or run the software I have added to my Dash. Ive had it for well over a year and the "My Location" feature of GMM is the only thing Ive run across (that I have any need for) that has required appunlock to work. Old news or not... since GMM2 has been released nearly all (I'd say 5 out of 6) of the postings about it that are associated with the Dash say that while the mapping software worked fine, the "My Location" feature did not. It always and immediately (without attempting to connect tot he network) gave a "You location is temporarily unavailable" message. Since adding appunlock the feature now works as it was designed. My intention isnt to waste your time with 'old news' (if you already know it); It's simply to help others out there like me who just want the program to work and are looking for a solution. If you already have it working, why bother reading this thread?
Just trying to help a brotha out, you know? :-D
My S621 was app unlocked. I've installed many unsigned apps, including GMM2.0, but the MyLocation feature didn't work. I just ran the surreal appunlock, and now it works!
Weird, no idea why it works, but it does...
as I understand it, appunlock makes a few registry edits that allow your device to run 'non-microsoft-certified' programs. Ive added a number of other programs without issue (just as you are saying), so I was a bit surprised that this solution would be necessary...nonetheless, it worked, and was an easy fix. Hope it works for you too!

Same with my phone. It was already app unlocked but the Sureal Network app is the only one that work on to get My Location working.
You were correct!
Apparently the appunlock cab file does something to the settings. Because now it works just fine! It zoomed to within 1700 meters or so from my house. If anything it'll at least get you in the vicinity of where you're at.
This really makes the Google Maps worthwhile having on your phone, even if you do lack GPS.
I just want to say thanks to whoever started this thread because I HAD Google Maps, but was not aware that there was an update! I already had the Surreal Networks AppUnlock, so when I upgraded to GMM 2, (which I discovered after reading this thread), I was able to see "My Location." It's great! Thanks to those of you who know who you are!

My comment wasn't a "hey retard nur nur" but it was a response to your apparent "fix" to get GMM to work. I was simply stating that app unlocking your phone is your answer to many installation and functionality issues. Sorry if i came off as abrasive but it wasn't meant as strong as it appeared. Let me reiterate: "App unlocking isn't just the answer to get mylocation on gmm working, it's your answer to many of your installation issues" there problem solved..
No Prob. And likewise, I appreciate your clarification. :-D
Now... if only we could start digging into/toying with the 'upcoming' WM6.1...
I just unlocked my phone and all but my location is still not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Did you use Surreal Networks AppUnlock program?
Are you somewhere with a decent signal? It won't work if you're in the Boonies!
Yes I have three bars on my cell phone, and I do not see why it would not work? Any suggestions?
Yeah i also have no luck with the my location feature, i used the appunlock from surreal, I have four bars and am on the Edge network right now, but it always says that my location is unavailable...
doesn't work on my cavalier either
not working
be sure to reboot your phone after the appunlock and then 're-set" GMM2. I believe you go to "Menu/Options/Reset Google Maps".
That should work. beyond that, unfortunately, I would have to suggest going to one of the Google community forums, but I really didnt find much there when I looked.
Good Luck!
I am not sure if this is the correct place for this thread, and it is my first post so please be gentle if this is the wrong place. Sorry to the Mods in advance.
I purchased an at&t Tilt when it launched and have loved the phone since I got it. A customer came into my store the other day with the Touch Flo Cube(I believe that was the correct name for it)setup running on his. He showed me how it worked, and I fell in love with the user interface on the spot. His Tilt also played streaming videos from Youtube and other websites and said there was a software update for that too. I have been online for the last few days researching software updates for it and have had not problem finding any. The problem is that everywhere I go there is a GIANT warning saying that if you install this stuff without knowing what you are doing it will ruin your phone. Well, as stated I am a Noob to all of this. I have no idea how to do any of the stuff and have not been able to find New User Friendly instructions. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with updating my Tilt to run the interface that I mentioned, and or if someone could point me in the right direction to find instructions on how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
im having the exact same problem ... i read oen that said to run it on ur computer then sink it with your phone and then i read one that said sink your phone then run it on ur phone .... but which is the right way?

ok, the best place to post this is in the kaiser upgrading forum. dont be scared, we were all noobs once. If you read the instructions properly, and follow them properly, you will be very very very unlucky if you damage your device. The roms and unlockers only have those warnings because they arent responsible if you break your device, and though its obvious, they still have to say it.
kaiser upgrading and unlocking : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
So dont be scared, but be cautious, and take your time, rad it all, and take heed of the warnings, but dont let them put you off...

Sorry, another dumb question. I have found a person on htcwiki.com that says all I need to do is to install the Cube programing to my Tilt, then when I open the folder, it will auto install the files to the correct places on my Tilt enabling the Cube to work. Does this seem correct?
The cube updating changes the browser to mirror the i-phone correct? Where I can simply run my finger across a web page to scroll from left to right and side to side?
Where would I find an application that would allow me to view Youtube videos?
Im getting very frustrated with this damn phone. Its a qwest ppc 6800 that i loaded with alltel softare. I installed .net framework compact 3.5 on it, and tried to install BAFSML but the damn thing wont work. It appears that it intsalls, maybe not i dont know. But it wont show up in the programs menu. I dont know what to do anymore. Ive searched and searched and cannot find a damn thing to help me. All i want to do is change the code to 000000 right now. I dont understand why nothing is working for this stupid thing. Any help would be great right now.
Guess no one knows..............
So I was googling about the Wildfire Wifi-n "support".
And I came upon this: http://www.gadgetsdna.com/how-to-enable-wireless-n-on-htc-evo-4g/4108/
Question is: Would this work with our WF?
Just tested it, I dont know wether it works or not, seeing as the guide says there are 2 spots where HTC placed "nmode" and i could only find one. I altered the file as proposed in the guide, replacing with a series of 5 dashes, pushed it back to the phone and it seems to work fine. WiFi turns on, i dont suppose there's any way to test wether it truly is n now or not?
Well, thanks for being a gunny pig XD
And I'll be able to see if it works, since I've got a n at home >-<
HOLY **** IT'S WORKING!
**** YOU HTC (AGAIN) FOR DISABLING IT D:
Hello all
I am from toronto, canada and i have purchased a nexus and its awesome. I rooted, unlocked and my phone was on yakjuux.Because i didnt understand how to make it to yanju i did a couple of experiments with the easiest root kit from WugFresh(that kit is very good and A THANK YOU to the people who make it is not enough).
Anyway, i have some questions for you people because i dont know much about how tthe android system works and how the carriers work too.
Q: I unrooted my phone cause its not necessary for me to be rooted.If i leave my bootloader unlocked will it cause any kinds of problems or its ok to be unlocked??
Q2:I dont have a data plan on my phone but 10 min ago i found that i have access to internet without wifi and my APN is all set ed up. Do i pay or its free internet ?
(i called my carrier and they said to me that i dont have any data plan.
Thanks to everybody and you r all brilliant minds for working on android.
Badtazz
Welcome fellow GN user.
Q1 - it is fine, you should not experience anything different. better to do it now than later, since unlocking the bootloader wipes everything.
Q2 - i guess you are lucky. just look at your statement, just in case you got charged
thanks for your quick reply
btw i changed to yanju and got the update within minutes
I just discovered another problem unfortunately, i tried to set up face unlock and the set up process is working flawlessly but when i lock the screen it show me nothing and then it reboots by it self.
i think its my fault because i messed up with something i didnt know (rooting, unlocking) if somebody knows something please advise me what to do
Thanks again to all
