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 know everybody hates these types of posts, but I've searched through everything and I think I've finally got it.
I downloaded the XDA-Dev .20 version (wmxl) off the Wiki, and installed it. It all went great, was fast to load up, and its much faster then WM5 in my opinion. Then, (this is where I might have screwed up) I installed the 1.38 radio. Was I supposed to do this? Who knows. I set up my internet access (I have the traditional unlimited package, not medianet or anything) and I'm browsing with 3G. Works pretty well, but I notice its hanging after sending emails and whatnot (doesn't disconnect even after I click "disconnect" in the email program for POP3).
I also installed the 8525 keyboard fix. Looks like it worked, because I don't have any keyboard problems.
What should I have done differently? This place is a great resource. Edgier then Hofo but still smart.
I'm a happy 8525 owner now that I have wm6!

First off, welcome to the xda-dev! Second, there's actually an entire thread devoted to issues with this ROM already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296126
Answers are best found there for your problems. Go ahead and make a post there and someone will be of some assistance . Just be sure to be thorough and list any other third party programs you may have installed (if any).
Overall though, it does seem like you've got a really good handle on things already. Good job!
@ tmoney
as taurusbullba says there is a thread devoted to this, however you can take a look at my guide aswell. You have carried out most of the stuff kind of blind but reading up always helps.
This goes through the process of:
prepping the device for flashing
flashing HardSPL v2 to the device (it explains why)
flashing radio 1.38.00.10
flashing WMXL v0.2
restoring stuff after upgrading
your first step should ALWAYS be to ensure a version of HardSPL is on your device, this SPL version is almost ready to make the device 'unbrickable' so is a must before doing ANYTHING.
Hi, i have just upgraded to Windows Mobile 6 the black 2.5 edition.
Whilst I was doing it i had my memory card left out which had applications on it, now when I put it back, the applications are not there..? I copied all data from active sync > explore (except my windows mobile device) and then I copied it back after upgrade. I am not fussed that the programs are gone, it would be good to get them back though, and since the card was not inserted during the upgrade, the application files must still be on the card somewhere taking up space...?
Anyways, I can't seem to get the 24 hour clock on it and also can't change the date to the UK style e.g. 24/04/2007, it is stuck in american style e.g. 04/24/2007. Any answers...?
Is Windows Mobile 5 applications supported by Windows Mobile 6? Can I have links to Windows Mobile 6 downloads please
Also , I do not like the boot screen, I want to put a picture of my wife and son, how do I do that? Sorry I am an intermediate user.
Please read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
before you get abused.....
Couple of pointers though, you might want to check your country is actually set to UK, rather than the default US.
When you install Black you wipe out the entire OS, the application files will be on the card, but the shortcuts in the OS that you find in the menu's and the programs directory will not. Search the card to see if there is actually anything on it at all.
You cant actually copy installed Apps with ActiveSync, it doesnt work that way, you can use it to re-install apps.
Most WM5 apps will work with WM6, but some will not and some will have odd behaviour because the programming interface isdiffeent to WM5.
But please, read the Wiki
Sorry, unable to help with the card issue.
But, the 24 hr clock & date is in settings, regional settings & set to english (uk).
The splash screen is explained in Mr Vanx upgrade guide, where it is explained re first & second screens.
Hope this helps & sorry if you have already completed or read the guides
Or, leave settings on US and choose (in Settings, System, Regional Settings):
Time: HH:mm:ss and you're on 24hr clock,
Date: dd-MMM-yy and you're on European date.
And if someone flames you for asking, screw that
Thanks very much. The ony things I need to do now is fix the wifi, it doesn't turn on..?
Also, the start bar sometimes hides....
and about the applications on the card. they are still there under "program files" and can be opened but some of them - registration fails. The shortcuts are not in the menu though...
Also how can I add a running programs shortcut on the bottom like I had on WM5..I can't seem to do it....
Sorry for sounding so dumb...

Hmmm, there is a known issue with wifi settings getting wiped out, there are a couple of threads about it in Hermes upgrading, Olipro and pof are working on a fix that they say should be out in a few days.
Dont know about the start bar hiding, havent seen that myself, as for the apps, I would say maybe install them again to the same location to put all your shortcuts back, technically you will just be putting the same files on the storage card and any settings that went on the card should still be there.
I cant find a way to add running programs either, go into settings/memory/running programs or use the taskman program. If anyone else has seen a way to add running programs to the softkey setup I would be quite grateful too.
Its not about sounding dumb, you dont - you're just lacking the necessary info, its just if you ask questions that have been answered elsewhere people figure you are just being lazy or ignorant especially if they are the same kinds of questions that people keep on asking that can be answered by doing an advanced search and selecting show posts instead of show threads.

Long-time lurker, first-time poster.
I picked up a S620 a few months ago, and finally upgraded it to the official WM6 ROM linked in the sticky (1.33.422.1) a few weeks ago. (I couldn't do it until I found the USPL.bat file - thanks to the author!)
I've installed Blackberry Connect 4, and it's working fine, except for the fact that my corporate BES IT Policy insists on locking the device after five minutes of inactivity. "Annoying" is an understatement.
I found some directions on how to bypass it at the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336355
but that method uses Memmaid. I downloaded it, but it won't work on WM6 standard. I tried Task Manager from Fdcsoft, but that won't do it, and the interface doesn't really work on WM6. I also grabbed SK tools, but that won't seem to let me stop the service. What can I use that will let me do this? I'd prefer free, but I'm willing to pay for something that works well.
Thanks in advance!

Navigate to your registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init
Your answer might be in there.
Remember to back up your reg.
Any mishaps is on you like anything else in this site.

Thanks - that's helpful, and I see how to disable them, but I've figured out that what I really need to be able to do is to stop a service, and also set it from manual to Automatic. The service needs to start when the main Blackberry Connect service starts, but then it needs to be shut down after each reset.
So how can i stop it after it's already running?
From what I've gathered reading about the GPS problems on XV6900's with Verizon....you might need to know the history of my ROM's.
1. I got the phone brand new 3 weeks ago and of course it came with 6.0 out of the box.
2. I installed the newest Verizon 6.1 ROM w/ radio 3.37.78
3. I then installed NFSFAN's 6.5 v7 ROM
4. I installed "NFSFAN Verizon GPS Registry.cab"
So for starters my GPS does not ever connect. I don't even know where to start. I've been searching and reading on here for 4 hours this morning and about 5 hours before bed last night. I just got really confused. Lots of what I found was regarding an older Verizon 6.1 update, so I'm not sure any of that was applicable to me. Please point me in the right direction so I can start using Google Maps. Thanks in advance!
Now Pandora.....I have installed the pandora app that I found in the NSFFAN's 6.5 FAQ thread. Well it installed fine, but when it asks for my email and password there is no where to input them. The screen is just solid blue and at the bottom says "Back" and "Sign In". I changed my hardware button to bring up a keyboard thinking that might help, but no such luck. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it once already. Once again thanks in advance!

Alright, I realize it sucks when there is a new thread every week about this, but there is also a ton of old information on this site and it makes finding an answer very hard and even when I think I know what to do I look at the thread date and it's over a year old....and thus refering to an old Verizon ROM. Obviously the answer in on this site somewhere I just need someone to point me to the most recent solution that also correlates with my ROM history and problem. If I have to I'll paypal someone $5 if they can get my GPS working.
I haven't seen anyone have the problem I'm having with Pandora. Has anyone had this issue? Am I actually alone on this one? Are there any other native Pandora program options?

For the first time you open pandora,
open the keyboard before you open pandora,
it should stay open.
it's a problem with pandora itself.
also it seems to not be working correctly with 6.5 as of right now.
I put it on there for others to test for me,
but everyone is reporting it is a no go.
:/
hopefully pandora will release a update asap.
Also, gps issue,
verizon is blocking ip's or something like that,
therefore everything people are doing to make gps work,
is more of a work around.
And I'm sure verizon will figure out a way to counteract those as they are crafty son's of b*tches when it comes to people unlocking stuff they want locked down.
I've been reading myself silly trying to figure this out & my attempts at Searching haven't helped, probably because I'm not fluent enough to use the correct terms. In spite of having this device for several months, I've never learned as much as I'd like. Anyway . . .
I finally flashed the newest stock ROM from HTC several days ago. The process seemed to go fine with one exception: I keep getting a notification that I have a new Voicemail when I don't. I check -- no new Voicemail. I Dismiss, but the the notification keeps coming back periodically. Suggestions?
Other than that, things seemed to go smoothly, and I started slowly getting things back the way I like them. After reading & making sure I understood (or so I thought), I installed the .NET 3.5 Framework so I could use Crud Scraper to get rid of the stuff I clearly remembered using it for.
The .NET part went fine, and then I did the soft reset . . . and lost My Location on the Today screen that shows my weather. It now says I'm in Seattle, which I'm not -- I'm over a mountain range & about 350 miles east of Seattle. When I try to change the location, it doesn't find my town or anything in my area, for that matter..
The mysteriously (to me) reappearing Voicemail Notification is bad enough, but I really rely on the weather, particularly this time of year, and it's driving me crazy that I can't figure this out. Suggestions?
TIA
Did you try looking at the several threads on this ROM in the Rom Development forum? There's a fix in one of them for this problem.
For which problem? And, do you have any idea what thread?
And, yes, I did look in the thread I found (New ATT Tilt2 ROM) -- I believe I read every post before I flashed the latest ROM, even though much of it was over my head. That's where I learned that I had to install .NET 3.5 & reboot before CrudScraper would work.
I recall several people mentioning that the My Location worked flawlessly & how great it was having the location, and I read where one or two people seemed to be having the same weather problem I'm having, but I didn't see an answer. I read in one of the forums that there seems to be a bug (although not confined to the latest ROM) in certain parts of the world, and I read a thread where there seemed to by a problem with My Location in a cooked ROM that might or might not have been related to GPS not working. I read something else where My Location wouldn't work with 3G, only with Wi-Fi, so I tried that, even though My Location was working just fine after I flashed to the latest ROM -- that didn't help.
So, it's not like I'm asking because I hadn't already tried to find solutions myself. I'm not doubting that there are answers to both of my issues but rather that after spending several hours over the weekend trying to find the solutions, I've been miserably unsuccessful. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked.

For the My Location feature, only part of the service is understood. For the most part, the location is determined by the cell towers your device connects to. It depends on where you are as well as the signal strength. Sometimes the request is not sent or received to/from the tower(s). It is more accurate usually when 3G is turned off. The alternative is to add your city manually. If the location servers can't figure out where you are, then it won't work.
Normally the stock ROMs fix this and work wonderfully after flashing. The best solution to this is to turn off 3G to get a fix or find your city manually.

I'm feeling really stupid here, but being a glutton for punishment, I'll keep trying.
Is it possible that maybe there was something wrong with the towers here that just happened to coincide with the soft reboot after installing .NET? The reason I ask is that My Location is now correct. Yay! That would be just my luck: bad timing.
Any suggestions about the incorrect Voice Mail notification? It for sure comes back each time I power up the phone. It seems to me it also reappears at other times, but I'm not positive about that -- I'm going to try to pay better attention.

Any suggestions about the incorrect Voice Mail notification? It for sure comes back each time I power up the phone. It seems to me it also reappears at other times, but I'm not positive about that -- I'm going to try to pay better attention.

Make sure to install .NET CF 3.5 to the device and not the storage card. You'll then need to restart, if it doesn't ask you to do so. You then need to force it to use 3.5 over 2.0. Use a registry editor and navigate to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Then change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.
For a decent registry editor that can be used from the PC side, check out CERegEditor if you don't already have an editor of choice.
For the voicemail problem, there are two known solutions. You can either have someone call and leave you a voicemail. You would then check it and delete it. You can also simply call your provider and have them reset your voicemail account. Either one should work.
If neither of those options works for/appeals to you, you can give this a shot. There are no guarantees that it won't come back after a soft reset, though. Using a Registry editor, navigate to the following keys:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line2\Unread
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Total\Unread
There should be a value name "Count" with a REG_DWORD value
Change value to 0 in decimal or 00 in Hex.
It should remove voicemail notification icon from the taskbar.

Many thanks! For the Voicemail, I used method one, and it worked
And, thanks for the instructions (and the reg edit program suggestion) to force use of .NET CF 3.5 because I missed that part -- yikes.
I'm on a dedicated mission to cut down on the elecronics I have to carry around, so I need to learn more about the features of the Tilt2 because if I can just figure things out (which I've not forced myself to do), the Tilt2 will, I think, be able to replace my PDA & iPhone.
Anyway, thanks again for your help!
