Hi all,
I'm just hoping some you who are more familar with the trinity can give me a few pointers... to save me time and less confusion, thanks in advance and much appreciated.
I'm currently using the Australian version of Windows Mobile 6 on my trinity...
but i'm NOT sure how to get GPS running (if it's is possible), please tell how to set it up and what software etc, i require. (I'll be using the GPS in Australia)
and also in terms of syncing... after updating my trinity from mobile 5 to 6, do i need a new version of active Sync, because i'm having trouble sync now...
Thank you all~~~ I'm hoping there are nice and helpfully people around

I think you meant to write "but i'm NOT sure how to get GPS running".
If so, you do not need to install any software. GPS works. But without a software program that actually uses GPS, GPS itself is quite useless. So install TomTom 6 (if you don't have it let me know, I'll post it), follow the instructions and your GPS will work. Headsup, first fix will take some minutes, so be patient.
and also in terms of syncing... after updating my trinity from mobile 5 to 6, do i need a new version of active Sync, because i'm having trouble sync now...

You need ActiveSync 4.5.

No problem. Glad to be of service.
Thanks for your tips Arilexed~~ much appreciated.
It'll be awsome if you could post me tomtom 6 software or provide me with details as to where i find dl it myself.... is it straightforward to setup, cos i'm not very familar with gps myself...
active sync 4.5, can be obtained... from htc offical site?
oh.. yes, also.. is there a way to switch the radio function on the phone..
Thanks in advance if Arilexed or anyone can help help, so i can be a happy trinity owner like the rest.

http://www.tomtom.com is the place to create an account and download a paid map, but you can use Route 66 too.
Let we start with Google Maps, that's free of charge and easy setup. I've attached the file.
ActiveSync (XP or earlier) is available at Microsoft, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx
Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista) at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx

You can download Tomtom 6.03 from rapidshare:
http://rapidshare.com/files/47514040/1.bin
http://rapidshare.com/files/47519726/1.b01
http://rapidshare.com/files/47523589/1.b02
Just rename the files:
1.bin > 1.zip
1.b01 > 1.z01
1.b02 > 1.z02
Upzip the file and copy the content from the zipfile to the root of your SD. Use File Explorer to navigate to the root of your SD card and tap on Start.exe from and TT will install itself.
Arilexed: Thanks for your Tomtom 6 links, much appreciated once again...
For those familiar with google maps and gps settings.... when i use google maps on my trinity it keeps saying seeking GPs satellites (0)... but it never finds anything....
is there something i need to do with the setting??
How about tomtom 6 do i need to change the gps setting in order to make it work?
I'm hoping someone can help me out~~~
Thanks in advance~
Doesn't GoogleMaps require you to have a constant internet connection to be able to use?
yes, i believe you are right prawnz....
piitaa, ensure you are outside, away from tall buildings and built-up areas. a first-time lock can often take 10-15 minutes to obtain.

no problem, glad to be of service. could you confirm if the download and installation has worked for you?
Hi dos anyone have this problem? I've tried installing WM6 official OZ ROM but finds that the in build memory is smaller. and since TomTom needs to be installed in the phone inbuild memory I have only small amount left to install other stuff. Plus how come there is no office in the official ROM.
hello, don't have the answer to your question but I think you would have more chance in getting a answer if you started a new thread for this. just a thought...
TomTom - making more room
Hi - you can just move the folder "Navigator" from the program files out to the Storage Card - just correct any shortcuts to point to the new location. It works fine and frees up that much space on the device...

Ciao everybody,
First of all I'd like to tell you that you are doing great job (pratically for free and for a limited glory).
thank you very much.
from my point of view and compared with my skill some of us (udk, guybrush ect..) are definitely genius.
Could you tell me if is there any auto disconnect software working on wm6 outthere?
many thanks

Well I thought it was REALLY for free.
What you mean by autodisconnect? Is it to switch off phone, or switch off the PDA, or disconnect gprs connection, or what?
For the phone you have psshutXP
for the data you have NoData from Modaco
Both for free, use the search function to find them!
thank you for your reply.
I refer to data/gprs connection.
I know that there is an application working on WM5 (GB_SOFT GPRS auto-disconnect) but I didn't getthe change to test.
Now I'm asking if there is something similar for WM6,
Modaco Nodata main link doesn't work. I'll search
thank you again

Hmm is there such a cab that can auto-disconnect voice calls after say, 10 min etc?
For example..my current call plan gives me free 10 min calls to other mobiles on 3 (Australia) and it would be handy to have the phone disconnect automatically on calls where I dial out after 10 min...
Any ideas?

In my personal experience GB SOFT TWEAK works greatly even on WM6... doesn't it?
The free version is pretty good, the premium services includes flight schedules (which is huge for me) all in all a decent app (though the weather updates are not a big deal with HTC home available) thought I would post link to it
http://www.mobimate.com/ppc_business.shtml
includes:
World Clocks
Weather
Currency Convertors
Day/Night Map
Tip/Tax Calculator
Iteneary Tracker
The premium adds real time flight updates and some other nice stuff but the base app is pretty good all by itself
nice app. thank you
I'll look into this app since I travel a lot...thanks
btw...how is it on memory usage?

Hi
I downloaded the SW from Mobimate site and I installed it without any problem, but when I launched it for the first time, it asked for email and password. Whatever the email addresses I provide (correct emails accounts), I get a message "please enter a valid email address".
I uninstalled it on the device and on the laptop, I clean the registry (with sktools) and reinstall it. Always the same message "please enter a valid email address". (I didn't get any answer from Mobimate support)
Any idea?

I just installed WorldMate from m.mobimate.com and I like the app...except every time my device (htc wizard wm5) is restarted, it attempts to load \Storage Card\Program Files\WorldMate\WMScheduler.exe and fails so I get an error message.
I'd happily uninstall this if anyone can recommend flight monitoring freeware that works.

I think the logs are in xml format. I haven't got it installed at the moment. You can read them with Google Earth and then export to TomTom ov (POI) files or use POIconverter for that. I don't think you can export directly to a folder in which you have a TomTom map, but what is TS looking for exactly?
hi guys,

1. asbestos: you are a brave man with big gut. you are the first who dared to run an unknown "fishy" exe file on your machine but your effort cleared all the hesitates other people had
2. sheeeng: thanks for posting your result on the forum and offering an alternative download link for people who can't access rapidshare, appriciated it
3. aeropic: glad to hear your 2003 french rom flew to english, i will try to see if i can get a french version for you if you still wish and when i got time
4. bowmoreinfrontofafire: glad to hear your bricked ipaq came alive again, enjoy it
5. LuteK II: hope you have sorted out all the mess between tommy_adsl's rom and mine
for those who haven't share your experience with others, please do so if you have time
for those who just joined the forum and got my instructions, please stay here as long as you can, this is a great place
for those who got my instructions before yesterday that has a page link to ebay:

i was shocked yesterday when i noticed that all the screenshots were updated from PDAViet's 18533 rom to, what a familiar look&feel!
i can't simply judge from that changes but, don't think i am a jerk, here were the actions i took:
1. i killed the download link
2. i posted my ebay item, sell it for 1.99
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250232653715
i am not going to make a fortune of that, actualy i pull out of my own pocket to cover all the fees in order to list it. i just hate thieves.
for those who still have problem upgrading your ipaq, email me and i will try to help out
for those who are unlucky and can't get the file before i shut it down, please view my ebay item, if you like, it costs you only 2 bulks.
for those who successfully upgraded, i appreciate it if you keep your copy for your personally use only
and again my thanks go to all and this is a great community!

Hi Guys,
Thanks to this forum and I have learnt lots of stuff. After taking knowledges from people on this site and a few days hard work, I think it's time for me to give something back to the community. This is my first contribution so I hope some of you will like my work.
Attached is the link to the WM6 ROM update I created for iPAQ HX2000 PDAs. I have my two hx2495b upgraded and everything works great: outlook, office, windows live, wireless, bluetooth, ... you name it, no power drain problem, no soft reset, fast, reliable, I really love my work.
I don't have any other hx2000 series model to try but I certainly confident that it will work with all models in the series. Here are some screen shots FYI.
Please don't flash your ROM using the file downloaded directly, you could brick your device and I am not responsible for that.
Please message me and I will send you detail instructions on how to install it. I will honor every single request. please allow at least 1 min, at most a day to get my response.
!!!WARNING!!! if you are a junior member and this is your first time flashing your rom, please let me know and I will give you instructions as more detailed as possible.
Also please do not waste other people's time by pm them and asking for the instructions. instead, you can use your time walking through this and other threats and topics. you really can learn lot of stuff here, you can transform yourself from an always "eating out" person to a DIY cooking chef like me.
So far we have quite a few people successfully flash their rom, the devices range from low end 2110 to high end 2790, the original rom versions include 2003 to 6. this is very encouraging.
There do have some hiccups though, here are my suggestions:
1. if you see a symptom where when you close a program and you see some "artifacts" on the Today screen, this most likely is because that when the rom was cooked, the registry settings for today's items were not cleaned up, so to quickly fix this just enable/disable some items or reorder them through today's setting
2. if you successfully flashed the rom but your device doesn't start, simply remove your CF card and reboot again.
hope you who successfully upgraded your rom will share some experience here.
Enjoy it!

After looking at it I don't think my guess is correct. It is a smaller than my Hermes 6.1 .nbf.
As soon as we hear from samz on how to install it I will give it a go on my 2410. I have WM6.0 on it now and I am getting some random battery drainage that hopefully this rom will take care of.
So we are waiting for Samz's instruction....
It appears that this is some sort of self extracting file. When trying to open with WinRar it ask for password...I say this is little fishy to me.
Flashing right now, will let you all know how it goes
Upgraded, flash went well. Including some screenies..
Good job samz, a very nice and flawless flash!
Feels nice and fast. I will play around with it for a few days and see if I find anything.
Might be time for me to pony up and buy a newer PDA though. It's a bummer that I only have ~12 megs of storage on the PDA but that has been about the same each upgrade since WM5.
Is the HP ProtectTools by Credant still available?

I'm thrilled that the 6.1 ROM is finally fixed & running!
Thanks to samz & all predecessors!
Am curious to know if the HP ProtectTools by Credant is still available in this ROM or as a separate installable cab file?
I need this application as a requirement for my work.
Also, it would be helpful to list what other 3rd party apps are included in this ROM.
Many users have been requesting for a 'lite' version of the ROM to maximize ROM space for persistent storage.
Thanks!

Hp protect is there and it works just fine. This is a pretty light ROM. It looks like samz replaced the usual calendar with 1-cacl lite, there is the normal wm5 explorer (which I replaced right off).
There is no java support. In fact all of the usual jre's do not work as far as I know on the wm5/wm6/wm6.1 other than IBM's J9 (cab included in this post).
Here is the base rom programs:
Games:
Bubble maker
Solitaire
Apps:
Activesync
1-calc lite
File Explorer
iTask
Notes
Pictures & Videos
Search
Task Manager
Tasks
Windows Media
I do not have a "B" revision device. If you do, you most likely have much more rom storage than I do. I started off with about 14 megs which has been pretty much the standard since the old school WM5 update years ago.
I did not need to shuffle ROM's around to do this update. It is probably the easiest upgrade I have ever done on this device other than the OEM releases.
If you want to update to it just follow the directions and PM samz for the directions.
Again, thanks samz for a great ROM. I will be testing it today with my usual routine and see how it goes!

OK, I am new here and have done a lot of reading. Apparently me and about 3 other guys are the only ones that have USCC, not a lot out there for us. NFSFAN, you have mentioned that you might be able to whip us up something if there were more, that would be great. I do have a number of specific questions and I'd love all the great input that everyone has.
1. 6.5 or Android? (yes I know it is all personal taste)
2. My touch does not have GPS enabled from USCC. If I unlock the phone do I use .41 or 2.31? Yes I want GPS and would find a ROM with it and is that why I would choose one or the other?
3. My Radio is 3.42.30, do I need to upgrade to 3.42.50 for GPS or just to upgrade to 6.5? and where do I find that radio?
4. Am I asking to basic of questions yet?
5. How do I get Adobe Flash Player loaded/upgraded?
6. Is there a good .cab website out there for games/apps?
7. Can I have my cake and eat it too?
Nah j/k but I know my phone is capable of so much more than I am using it for now and want to take advantage of it. I really appreciate all the help and suggestions.
Thanks

Yes it is a personal choice, nice thing about Android is that it is a Linux shell - rebooting the phone brings you back to WinMO so really it can be best of both worlds just be prepared for some work in using Android and remembering steps before starting it like, Starting IE/Opera before starting Android to make sure you have Internet within Android (at least when I was using it a few months back)

2. My touch does not have GPS enabled from USCC. If I unlock the phone do I use .41 or 2.31? Yes I want GPS and would find a ROM with it and is that why I would choose one or the other?

You would use 2.31 unlocker and from there flash to a custom ROM - try a Generic ROM either 6.1 or WinMO6.5 might be able to utilize GPS if your connecting via generic or seek out some other USCC users in threads, I know some are using 6.5 currently and able to work fairly well

3. My Radio is 3.42.30, do I need to upgrade to 3.42.50 for GPS or just to upgrade to 6.5? and where do I find that radio?

No, 3.42.30 is fine, you wont see a difference with 3.42.50 worth it plus it can cause some issues more than positives so stay to the basics

Depends on the ROM used as well as the Browser (IE or Opera) there is some reports of IE Mobile 8 or something like that working but flaky

7. Can I have my cake and eat it too?

Of course you can, but the actual saying is "can I eat my cake and have it too" in reference to the days of Marie Antoinette and the famous line of "let them eat cake" the idea is to be able to eat your cake AND have it, which of course would be impossible as would the situation a person in reference to the saying would be wanting as well
Hope that helps

Thanks Doug I had almost given up hope on this thread. I have been on PPC Geeks and am just about to take the plunge. Thanks for all the advice and I see the logic in the actual "eat / have it" order, very interesting and educational. Thanks again and I will try to update after I upgrade.
spittinfly, in your reading have you found the settings you need with QPST to make your GPS work with USCellular? Also, the instructions that get you into the diagnostic mode with other carriers do not work with USCellular. I had to do a lot of reading myself, and piece together information from several different threads to make it work. With the same radio you have I can lock in from 6 to 11 satellites. If you have found all this information I won't bother typing it all in, but if you need it let me know.
Personally, I've tried a couple of different ROMs, but I'm currently just running the USCellular WM6.1 with SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.5, while I'm anxiously awaiting Shell 3.
Well I am not familiar w/ SPB but I did go on ppcgeeks and searching for "uscc 6900" found what appears to be a good option for me. Would someone mind checking it out?

SPB is a set of applications for use ON your phone (SPB Backup, SPB Keyboard, ETC) SPB is the company name followed by what the app is
As far as the thread, Im hoping and assuming you are referring to NFSFAN 6.5 V6R2 Generic Carrier ROM ... I only ask as I am not going to read through 8 pages of replies to find what your referring to
If it is regarding NFSFAN and the ROM he has to offer, then yes I would suggest trying it, its the ROM I use on my HTC Vogue (Touch) and its been stable, fast and reliable

Is there a way to "turn on" the GPS (unlocker first, I understand this) WITHOUT changing the ROM?
I very much enjoy my current setup with ONE exception: no GPS.
I've read a little about QPST and have tried a version of it (its been quite a while) but it doesn't seem to recognize my 6900...
so... basically... 2 questions: 1. can I turn on GPS using only a settings change in QPST, and if so, 2. what version of QPST do I need to do so?
FYI, USCC 6900 6.1 Radio 3.42.30 ROM 3.01.573.4
Thanks in advance
