I thought I heard that the Vogue has GPS but is locked. Is this true?
The vogue does have GPS and it is locked. You can unlock it by flashing one of the newer ROMs or the kitchen from PPCKitchen.org. I heard DCD is working on an updated kitchen for the Vogue, but he hasn't released it yet.
just my 2cents here...i would not call it "locked", but "disabled" when purchased from Sprint. for the Sprint version there's the stock/leaked ROM that enables GPS and Rev A. as the poster above says, there's quite a few custom ROMs that also enable GPS and Rev A. GPS is not, however, locked to Sprint. don't know about the Telus folks, tho.

Until recently, there have not been any CDMA Touch's(Vogues) with GPS... The hardware is there, but the necessary software isn't.
Most carriers will be releasing an update, however they may not release GPS support. Telus, for example, is only promising Rev. A.
The good news is, yes, the hardware is there. There ARE a few custom roms available which do enable that feature.
I just flashed my Vogue with the sprint rom to update the radio and hardware, then I flashed it with OMJ's Bell rom, and now I have GPS, Rev A speeds and even the bluetooth file transfer is about 30kbps faster(getting 110-115 now as opposed to 75-80 before).
The rev. A speed is nice, internet seems snappy and responsive and I get about 900kbps max throughput.
Edit: forgot to mention, i'm running a Bell Touch that i bought in early december, 2007
I flashed a rom that was suppose to have rev a and gps, i dont seem to have it at all.
I've unlocked and installed one of the leaked ROM's and my GPS is working great, i'm just having problems with my camera, it isn't saving the pictures. It shows the counter decreasing but I can't find where the picture or video is, there isn't anything there.
But, GPS gets a good stable lock everytime and works great with TomTom Navigator and Google Maps.

Is there anybody who knows if the HTC touch XL (elfin), (this is the name in france) is similar to vogue?
Is there a solution to verify if my HTC TOUCH elfin is CMDA or not????

What is the name of your carrier? Some carriers are GSM, some are CDMA. Someone will know which of the two networks your carrier is using (or you can make a quick call to customer service and ask). That's the simplest way.
Which carrier are you with? i can research this for you if I get the company's name.
Thanks a lot for your help. My carrier is ORANGE...
Your Touch uses GSM so I think you need to look in the Elf forum here if you have any questions.
Votre Touch utilise GSM, donc je pense vous devez chercher dans le forum d'Elf ici si vous avez des questions.
Ok, but my ELF have:
- memory 128Mo
- flash 256Mo
That's why i was thinking my phone was an ELFIN, not an ELF but i was hoping ELFIN was similar to vogue.
Is there any chance to have GPS in spite of it's not a vogue?
Yours is the enhanced version of the GSM Touch. Elfin is the Touch XL. It only means you have more ram and memory than the original GSM Touch. All the info you can find is over in the Elf forums. Sorry we couldn't help!
Yes i understand, in the ELF thread effectively, there are ELF and ELFIN mentionned...
GPS for VOGU
I have the VZW VOGU that I bought a couple weeks ago so I was wondering if I can get GPS on it. It seems like there is alot of back and forth and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. If ya just let me know how and possibly where to get it that would be nice. Thanks
i have the telus htc touch, and after i installed a custom gps rom i still can't see how to use the gps... i tryed google maps and it says "seeking for satellites " and locks there 4ever, and with tomtom i can't choose internal gps.....any ideas of what to do or what ive done wrong?!!
You have to do specific steps. You need to install the leaked sprint rom to upgrade the radio and firmware, then you need to install your other(gps enabled) rom of choice, then the GPS will work.

Has anyone seen the CDMA version yet? They were in Pocket PC Magazine (Feb issue).
I am curious as to which BT version they are running (1.0 or 1.1)
Funny reading the article, they stated Sprint was the first to bring this phone to market in the USA...funny, I have had my SX66 since December 04...unless they are talking about the CDMA version! (grin!) The "manufacturer" for the phone is Audiovox. It is also on the Audiovox website, with a Verizon version listed both With and WITHOUT the camera...along with a listing of accessories we can purchase!

cdma ppc-6600
I am a network admin for a large insurance agency, we have 30 new ppc-6601's and 2 ppc-6600's. Yes these are Sprint Phones and I have already upgraded the ROM versions and the Radio versions. Some of the phones have been having nothing but problems locking up and dropping calls and the rest are fine. As far as the BT version it is 1.0.0.3500 except for the BtCeStack which is 3601 this is with the new Version ROMs.
My phone personaly is
ROM: 1.36.00
ExtROM: 1.36.113
Radio: HA00_140
BtCeStack: 3601
Wish it was GSM and not CDMA, not big on Sprint but well thats what we have
CompUSA, in Sunday's newspaper ad, lists the 6600 for $629.99, with $250 in discounts with Sprint activation.
any chance you can post the splash screens and any sprint specific windows themes

I'm still trying to figure out how to get it installed on my Sprint 6600. I'm getting the Country error 120 and haven't yet figured out how to get around it. The suggestion in the Blue Angel FAQ of editing the RUU.conf doesn't work because "[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1" is already in the file.
I'm excited to try this out since it's got Windows Media Player 10 built-in.
Dan
This sounds very exciting. I myself have a Sprint PPC-6600 and would love to get this working as well. I noticed that this is for the Harrier device and not the BA. Will this still retain the hardware keyboard? If you get it up and running smoothly please post the process you went through. Good luck!
Difference Between Harrier and Blue Angel.
There is no difference has I have both the Sprint PPC6600 and XDAs, the only difference is that the Blue Angel has Wifi and is GSM, and the Harrier is CDMA with GPS and no Wifi. The Specs and design are exactly the same.
The Harrier is not easy to unlock has the ESN and MSL/SPC Code is stored on the Qualcomm MSM5500 Chip. The only way to access this chip is from accessing the PDA COM2 Port with a new multi access serial driver, as the one supplied only allows single entry from wince only.
If we have got some good Win CE programmers out there who can make software to read this chip so we can access the MSL/SPC unlock code which is 6 digits.
There are 2 stored in the chip, one is the one time access code and the other is the main code.
So A lot of people across the globe using these HTC devices on the CDMA network would be grateful if this software was made available or even sold at a reasonable unlock price.
If anyone has a solution to unlock these CDMA versions please email me at [email protected]
Thanks

I don't know about Verizon, but Sprint always gives you the main MSL (not the one-time) when you activate the phone. Do the other carriers somehow program your phone OTA? How else do you get your MDN and MSID in the phone?
I know BitPim can get the MSL for a lot of other Sprint phones... maybe the developers can make it work with the Harrier.
Sorry I can't be of more help here.

Sprint 6600 Users Upgrade to Win Media 10
First of all download the Telstra Rom Image, Unzip with WinRAR.
Copy the attachement below to the directory. Now sprint users you need to copy the radio image file from the sprint download and copy into the telstra directory.
Press power, record and reset button to put yourselve in bootloader mode.
Run the attachement you downloaded
And you should have a working telstra image.
If you don't change the radio image you have no signal, because sprint have disable evdo in these phones.
yes that is the correct procedure. Do keep in mind there are some other changes in that ROM, but more or less it works OK.

Unfortunately it doesn't work on the TyTN II. On attempting to login, it is unable to connect to My ISP GPRS, 3G... TeleNav then issues the message, "Cannot connect to server. Please make sure that your phone is turned on and try again later".
Any ideas?
Telenav 4.2 for the 8525 seems to work on the TyTN II but I have not given it a thorough test yet.
Telenav say they do not support the TyTN II yet.
Unlocked TyTN II / Kaiser
WM6 Pro
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
ROM 1.56.405.5 - 8/28/07
Radio 1.27.12.11
Protocol 22.45.88.07H
Since the Kaiser has an internal GPS and the TeleNav for the Mogul and the 8525 force you to use bluetooth GPS neither of those verions will work. But I was able to find this version that works perfectly with it's internal GPS.
http://ota.telenav.com/ota/tn/ipaq6900/TeleNav_hw69xx.cab
It is version 4.2, does anyone know of a 5.2 version that supports internal GPS devices?

I am using Radio 1.51 with VP3G. If you see the "Signal Too Weak" message, that usually means your BT GPS module is too far away from the phone.
I am a bit confused by your statement that you need the radio version with GPS enabled. If you are trying to use the GPS chip in the Hermes, I was unaware that anyone had that working, unless you did some soldering. To my knowledge, you need a Bluetooth GPS module to use this apllication with the 8525 or any Hermes variant.

It's about god-damned time they got around to making a competitive program for the WM platform.
Guys this is an awesome find thanks! I have been waiting for this after many many promised from Telenav "it's coming". I just thought i would shre the following. I hope anyone who cares will also post to the Telenav forums and inform them this srt of deceptive practive wont be tolerated by the mobile community.
Let me first say for "legal reasons" below is simply my opinion/impression you make your own call on whats going on but my mind is made up.
Telenav the AT&T preferred partner for GPS is apparently deceiving users into believing that they currently dont have a way to run their latest version (5.x) on the AT&T 8525. There are loads of users complaining because their purchased the phones thinking they had the advanced features advertised by AT&T such as 3D maps and traffic information only to find out later AT&T was not telling the truth (to clarify I am not talking about the fact that there is no internal GPS, I knew that going in and I was fine with it. I bought Telenav's bluetooth GPS unit).
Although their other versions included this functionality the version allowed on the AT&T 8525 (4.x) was quite old without these features. All the while we were locked into a contract, asked to buy an external GPS, and sign up for new service with ATT, and Telenav service. After nearly a year of frustration I came across this threadand it came to my attention there was a download available marked for a different phone with the same hardware which worked. I downloaded it and installed and as I was told no problems at all. Works fine, tested all over no issues as most here can confirm. here is where it gets interesting.
I informed Telenav of this fact poorly asuming they might care and was promptly warned not to mention this. As well now all my original posts has been deleted, even though they originally responded several times (I have the screenshots). They must have had some internal meeting on how to handle this "leak" and they decided to censor me. As well they have now deleted all related posts in their forum. I was clear to mention this was not supported by Telenav and was for another build, but they didnt care, they wanted NO ONE to know.Why?? I will tell you.
My suspicion which they chose to dance around and would not answer me on was there is a specific reason they are not providing the update and thats business decision between Telenav and AT&T. You see AT&T just released the 8925, they upgraded version of the 8525. And while the hardware is virtually identical, it comes withe latest version of Telenav. It is my position that Telenav is purposly not releasing an update to the software which their customers were duped into purchased based on false advertisement because AT&T wants to force you to buy the new phone to get it. Very Sleezy in my opinion. i want to mare sure it is known that this type of practice will not be accepted my the mobile community and we will look to more respectable vendors for applications. Please make sure to let Telenav know what you think of this.
BTW each time I created a post even remotely discussing this it was deleted. Make sure to check back their forums after posting and you will see. Don't be afraid to open the post again, we will force them to respond. I opened over 10 and each was deleted with little to no reason but something tells me they know i'm pissed

This version will run the internal GPS and is the latest version. Enjoy
This is why I bought the Garmin 10x which works awsome with my 8525, and has all the 3D maps. Plus the reciever works with Live search(which is better when walking), and google maps. Never wanted to give them my money for what I could by for a year of service.
Oh kay... I really hope I don't get yelled at for not searching or something but I can't find anything and I seriously need help. I have the 3.42.50(I think) radio and OMJ's Custom Verizon Rom and I just can't get a lock. I've tried thousands of tutorials and haven't had any luck. On my current flash I've used this tutorial, and haven't gotten a lock. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... I'm pretty desperate. ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
First, to make sure you have the updated radio (which you probably do) go to start/settings/system/Device Information and check there to make sure.
I wish I had had such a detailed set of instructions to follow when I was setting up my US Cellular Vogue. I had to patch together instructions from 3 different sources to make it work. Of course it works, yours doesn't. Are you outside when you are trying to get at least your initial lock. When I first lock on I generally have to be outside, after it is once locked on I can go inside and it will retain a lock.
Check for my Tips thread, basic info on setting it up is there.

oh kay... sorry for the delayed response... anyway... i do have the updated radio and i dont think i've ever tried it outside... :-\ i have tried it standing right next to a glass door... also, should i be messing with the baud rate at all while trying to get a lock?... im not sure wat to do after i open GPS Viewer... i set the Com port to 4 and then i open GPS... is that all i have to do?...
and... can u send me a link to those tips TheChampJT? im bad at navigating forums... :-\
Have you ever run the MR1 on your phone? This would block third party apps from accessing your gps. If this is the case, you need to down grade to a none gps rom, the upgrade.

If it came with verizon WM 6.1 or you flashed verizon WM 6.1 and let costumizations run, then you found your problem. Maybe if you tell use what you have done with it since you got it, it might be easier to diagnos.

You will have to do a "Over the Air" reprogram via *228, I think its option 2.
I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS WITH THE NEW ROM AND EASY AS PIE TO INSTALL!
Darn GPS is pretty dam close. I get 29foot accuracy 98.5% of the time!
ozzzzzzz,
did you change the location setting under phone settings? I forgot to check this and finally figured to look there.
Go to settings / personal / phone-----then hit services and select settings for location. Make sure that 911 is not selected. May be simple issue with that.

aGPS on Verison w\Radio 3.37.78 and NFSFAN's Cusom WM6.5
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=939180
KCDale99 Posted this, couple weeks ago, it still works people.!!!!!!!!........
I justreceived a new XV6900 in the mail today when mine suffered a hardwarefailure of some sort. The new phone came with the newest ROM whichincludes the 3.37.78 radio. Of course I turn on the phone, and updatesrun. This disabled the GPS even after loading a custom ROM. the aGPSfix would not work, and gps Viewer couldn't even find one satellite.
Ifigured this was just like an old, 'let the customizations run'problem. So I followed the steps found here with one exception:
<!-- m -->http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?titl ... ERIZON_GPS<!-- m -->
Onstep 4, I ran the RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_ShipOfficial ROM from Verizon. I did NOT let customizations run. I thenloaded my custom ROM. This puts me on the official Verizon radio.
After that, the aGPS fix worked like a charm and GPS is working.
Iknow this is a rehash of other issuew, but I wanted to let everyoneknow that the newest phones shipping are disabling GPS all together.
THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE!!!!!!! been at this for a week now with absolutely no luck until now this guy has it.................. 5-31-09
I used NFSFAN's custom ROM WM6.5v8 for my custom rom.
the only other thing i had to do is when i was done installing ROM's my phone would not authenticate on Verizon network, so instead of calling them i use the online MY Verison to activate my phone to a old Verizon i760 then re-activated my xv6900 online ordered (verizon) a week ago !!! I have tried every fix, etc... until this combo... except i never went to the leaked verizon radio been to the bell, us cellular, alltel, verzon, etc... and back again..... now it works...... with the fix this guy posted......QPST ip info fom the fix page, links all seem to work!
Again********THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE
XV6900 CAME STOCK ABOUT A WEEK AGO!!!

I did whole unlock 0.40 to Sprint ROM to unlock 2.31 to VZW ROM, then straight to WM6.5V12, then I did the aGPS hack with QPST, and even tried cody's fix in his FAQ thread. I spent all yesterday morning trying to get GPS working, and I've got nothing to show for it. I'm so f'n pissed right now!

When you flashed VZW ROM, did you allow customizations to run?

Nope. The only time I let customizations run was when I installed WM6.5.
I did the Coke .40, Sprint (no-run), Coke 2.31, Verizon (no-run), NSFANS WM6.5 (run) and then his two verizon cabs and finished with the aGPS hack with QPST. I used the Telus fix, but should I have used a different one?
I was able to get GPS (with locks after a few minutes outside). I don't think I am getting aGPS, though.
Doesn't aGPS help when you are moving or inside? I think that you would get faster locks (especially the first time) if aGPS is working.
BTW, that routine killed my voice line and SMS with a #8899 notification. Verizon networking is still working.
Todd you'll have to call Verizon and have them re-authorize your phone. The same thing happened to me when I tried that fix.

I will. That office is closed until Sunday. While I am waiting I am trying other methods and options.
I am currently on a Coke .40, Verizon ROM 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.77 (no-cust), Coke 2.31, Verizon ROM 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.77 (w/cust) followed by QuickGPS. This lets me see satellites and gets me fully back on a Verizon radio. (I will still have to call #8899 when their office opens)
Can anyone match up ROM versions with the MR1, MR2 designations? Is 3.37.78 MR1?

first you should run gps veiwer and get a lock before you open google maps.
second go to options/gps settings in google maps and set to managed by windows. that should work

I don't think it has anything to do with software. (at least GPS) I have the same problems with Google Maps as well as TeleNav. I was on the phone for 2 hours with t-mo tech support and was told that it was probable an issue with Google not T-Mobile. There suggestion was TeleNav, when that did not work I called back and another hour later they stated it was an issue with my phone.... SOOOOO, I went today got a new one and STILL the same problem. Cant find Sats. or Location unavail. So at this point i have no idea what the problem is... Guess I'll call tech support
Downloaded QuickGPS data?

In my kaiser, I use WWE roms and I never had problems with GPS.
On my Frensh Orange ROM, there is no QuickGPS. But with the bad GPS signal level, it will never fix.
i feel sorry to hear ur problem.. my gps works fine.. in fact its better than my previous Touch Pro/Fuze .. my Rhodium locks gps satt within 10seconds
maybe have to wait for new Radio ROM..

Verizon is the scum of the earth. They screw with every feature a phone has, limiting bluetooth, GPS, wifi, etc.. I'm honestly surprised they don't totally screw up phones (beyond what functional removal they're already doing, that is).
has anybody an solution to this problem?

That's why I bailed out of Verizon a couple of years ago. They cripple features of the phone when those features might cause them to lose revenue (we wouldn't want your browser to save pictures when you can buy wallpaper through Verizon, would we?). I bailed out when I decided to replace my PDA with a PDA/phone and I didn't want to go with Verizon only to find out they're crippling PDAs as well.
Just upgrade the radio rom.
I was getting a GPS signal only once out of every 10 times I used it. As soon as I upgrade the Radio its fixed 10/10 the original Radio's were faulty/buggy when acquiring GPS signal.
can you give me the number of your radio rom version ?
Antonius has a patch for this, check the stickies.

Guys I know this has been covered in other threads and I've searched for hours, reading every thread I can, and I still cannot come up with a fix for this.
I am running a Tmobile Branded Touch Pro2, unlocked, hard SPL of course, with EnergyROM Photon Standard WM6.5 v 20091011 which is very slick by the way. My radio is version 4.49.25.05.
For whatever reason "My Location" doesn't work and Weather does not download. I have checked all the obvious things like making sure autoupdate is set, location service is on, etc etc. As a side note, Google Maps seems to locate me just fine, Bing is flaky at best.
Any thoughts???
Known issue. It doesn't work in custom roms.
If I load the Standard TMobile ROM that I saw posted here for the Touch Pro2 will My Location start working again?
Is there a way to go back to the shipped radio version as well?
this has been discussed many times...my location for some reason does not work on 3g even with the stock rom...but it will work when u switch to edge..just try it out..

First of all it does work in custom roms -- it's working on my phone and mine is a custom rom. Many people have posted about how with this cooked rom or what that new radio-rom that now My location works. But, that doesn't mean it's guaranteed to work -- just that it can work.
And, believe it or not, mine only works when I have a 3G connection...I don't know why, but it's true -- tested again and again.
I'm currently running the Photon Oct-11 manila2.l OS-rom with the 4.49.25.17 radio rom.
One accurate way to put it is: Try this, try that...and -- depending on where you live, maybe...it might work! Good Luck!
