Hey guys, I can't seem to get a solid answer on this so I had to ask again. Does My Location (on Google Maps) work with the WM 6.1 update? Thanks guys!
BIG ACH
no, it doesn't work at all on cruzzmz's ROM on my cavalier. it does work on 6.1, though, as i used it on my dash all the time (ricky's rom)
Thanks Dark Finger, this is exactly what I needed to know about cruzz's rom.
Btw, on the Dash I know it also works on 6.0 when you do the app unlock.
right, i never had problems on my Dash (and i started with WM5!)
Don't you need a GPS receiver for My Location to work?
google maps can do a pretty good job of figuring out your location from cell towers coordinates. So, you can use it to get a rough location even without gps hardware. Doesn't work on the cava tho....
has anyone tried this solution http://www.allshadow.com/2008/03/09/how-to-get-my-location-working-in-google-maps/
I tried the .cab but no luck for me. im kinda afraid to try the reg edit that they mention due to my lack of experience, but maybe on of you more brave individuals would like to give it a try?

I just upgraded to WM6 Vanilla on my 8525. I now no longer have access to the internet through the 3G data service.. Also the keyboard is messed up.. I could careless for WM5.. this phone was seriously pissin me off with WM5.. it was so slow and froze up all the time.. etc. Things seem a lot faster with the WM6 Vanilla.. but I'd like to have more features..
I'd appreciate some help.. I read and searched as much as possible but most of these threads have 30+ pages
PS. Wireless doesn't work either.. the Wifi won't turn on.
I really want to keep WM6.. I just want the full features of WM5 along with it..
Perhaps you should do some more reading then. If you look at the thread with a title something like XDA Live issues (its in consolidated sticky), you'll find a fix for your keyboard - I'm assuming you're running an 8525 or whatever you US guys call it?
I don't know why you flashed Vanilla as well, you'd have been better off with XDA Live.
Your internet problem is due to not having the settings for your provider now. You might find the answer in a thread, there might be an ExtROM cab you can run to get the settings, or you might have to find them on the providers website and manually enter them.
I would like to keep PTT.
I just tried XDA... not appealing to me. I like Vanilla.. just not so damn plain.. wish it was full feature.
dont you get it...its not meant to have any extras just plain "vanilla", if you want extras just add them as most stuff wotrks if you install it, ive got vannila with only what i need, tomtom and my provider settings, and works perfect for me
I'm an F'n newb to this stuff.. so no I don't get it .. lol.
I just put vanilla back on...
So now the question is, how do I find out what cingulars 3G (EDGE) information is so I can get that working again.. and also how can I get Wifi working.. currently it will not even enable(turn on) the wifi...
see https://www.cingular.com/support/deviceConfig.do?content=KB71396.html to set up GPRS/UMTS on your device
Thank you very much skyyboy, that did the trick!
Now can someone help me fix the keyboard? When I go to do @ I get a question mark.. I have to use the key that should be ! to get the @
Thanks
Is there any way to allow the phone to have more than one data connection open at once?
Sorry to tell you, neither WM6 Rom supports PTT.
Actually Vanilla can't support it (need to swap some important system files and it can't be done with a cab file) whereas there are a couple of people working on getting it to work with WMXL (WM XDA Live)...

Seriously, it is rude to start a new thread for our own personal questions which have been asked and answered time and again. I am cloing this thread. read the Wm6 threads for your answers.

Now that some time has passed, and Crossbow has gained a bit of ground, as well as some reviews and testers, based on your experiences, would you recommend Crossbow to the general public?
Also, a personal question, if I would like to use Messenger to share files as well, and a faster device, would you recommend crossbow to me?
Thanx in advance for your responses!
Crossbow on Universal is highly recommended.
At least, I can't see any reason to NOT recommend it over WM5.
Stable, fast, better features. Give it a go!
V
But there is no working video call in WM6 yet.
This can be solved, but unfortunately no developers have 3G in their area to test it
I have 3G here, I can test, but no software to test.
WM6 on the Universal? I wouldn't recommend it (yet). Most ROMs have a buggy wifi, email (resolved on some), mms (resolved on some), etc.
And as mentioned, no video call.
But if you don't need video call and wifi... Go ahead with Crossbow. You might wanna try Midget's or Ivan's latest.
Everything is working fine on crossbow, but, IMHO, the only glitch is the issues with WIFI like you cannot connect to wpa networks
Second issue is buggy video call
general impression positive. Things that I'm missing:
-wifi (wpa)
-phone keypad (still would like to be able text with one hand from time to time).
however I don't miss it much enough to get my previous ROM (not yet anyway).
I believe this are only temporary problems. Big thanks for such a good work.
I don't recommend it!
-First of all: NO VIDEO CALL.
-WIFI problem!!!!
-Quick rings FREEZE your phone.
-Outlook problems
So this week-end i'll downgrade to WM5..
WM6 it's VERY powerfull.. But we don't have a REAL working Universal ROM.
..That's a shame..

Everytime I install a new WM6 rom, then, after 0.5h playing with it, I m always back to my trusty WM5's ROM(see my sig)
i have the videocall option for 2 years on my contract.
since then i have 5-6 hours of free videocall that i never used because most people don't have videocall, and because it is much easier to speak on a BT handsfree than to keep the 300g monster in my hand, pointed to my face while walking on the street.
so, i don't realy understand the need of videocall.
but i need wifi very much.
now i am using the original ROM that camed with my spv m5000.
should i upgrade to a newer WM5, or should i stay with the original one untill the release of a WM6 with wifi support?

I think you have to ask this question to ROM cookers..
MY PERSONAL opinion is that we have to wait.

how to get back to wm 5 from wm 6
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.

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.

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...
I'm loving NFSFAN's new Bell ROM, but i'm not crazy about the slide to answer on the phone canvas.
I'm looking for a way to replace the slide to answer / ignore with buttons instead of a slider while keeping everything else the same.
I've researched different skins for this dialer (there are some cool looking ones out there!!) but none of these change the slider.
Any help would be appreciated.
This one works for me; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429179. There is also a black version somewhere Google 'Black Minimal Dialer'
I've now been using NFSFAN's ROM for a few days now.
Must say i've gotten quite used to the dialer. I like all of the other features. Especially the "in call curtain". While i'm still not in love with slide to answer I understand the concept of why it was created. If I want to press a button that's what the hardware key is for!!
I wasn't really looking for a new dialer, but i've learnt the slide is an integral part of the package.
Thanks for the response anyways. You were the only one to do so. (everyone else was probably busy shaking their heads!!!)
now mine might sound like a really stupid question, but can I install the opal's slide to answer dialer on my sprint htc vogue ? are all the ## codes working for you on your phone ?
Yes, everything works (911 etc)
In NFSFAN's words, the data connection is not active during a call, it just breaks the data errors.
The dialer is included in his ROM, i'm not really sure if the same one is found anywhere in CAB format. A quick google search for "opal slide to answer CDMA" should yield some results for you.

thanks jmitr for your patient answer and the links to the solutions.. really really appreciate your patience and yes I just installed it and working fine now.. love the new dialer...
i spoke too sooon... i installed the complete cab by mbarvian and then tried juggaloo's cab but it was for VGA graphics, i tried mbarvian and conflippers cab but that messed up everything...
just mbarvians cab - didn't display the incall screen properly.... it was all greyed out...
now i can't find a single good cab which displays everything like it should... i don't want to do any more trial and error and find out... please help me on this ...
i dont mind not having the canvas - atleast i get a bigger picture on caller screen and thats all i want right now...
I know s2u2 has a large picture to answer the phone with.
I don't use it anymore, I found it drained my battery too fast. With NFSFAN's rom and the opal dialer it isn't really needed anyways.
Sorry none of the links led to anything fruitful, my only experience with this dialer is in the custom ROM. Must say it has grown on me though!!

I've been using this on my Sprint Touch for months now with out any issues. Here's a link for a post I have up at PPCGeeks for you to check out . Please let me know if you have any problems. If you don't want the lock feature, don't install Albert's cab...

I had trouble getting the dialer to work initially also. It seemed to be tied to the rom build that something changed after the 20XXX rom build was released. If I used anything earlier it wouldn't work. If your on a stock rom that may be part of the issue. Not sure, but just my experience in fixing the issue.
It is tied to a shell component.

Hey thanks for the reply NFSFAN, the slide to answer was the only part of your ROM that I didn't really like......at first. I couldn't imagine going back to the old dialer now.
It is good to learn what's possible and what's not though, thanks again for the answer.
Cheers,

Codes don't work for me on the verizon beta rom. Is it just me or do you have to use the folder rather than the dialer?
I got TomTom bundled with the Athena and Cruise, no such luck with the TP2. Any suggestions or recommendations about which package to go for for TP2, bearing in mind the wide screen etc.
All suggestions welcome
i have tried 3 sat navs over the years. obvious one is tomtom, i use copilot 7 and have no probs. i have read and heard great reports of mcguider? might want to check the spelling. very popular is garmin xt but word of warning.... youll have to hot swap your sd card and that is no fun. workarounds available but not worth messing around with it.
i went for copilot live 7 because i found a cheap one on ebay and no need to hot swap. its very clear and works with most devices.
I think that should be a good short list. no doubt others will champion other brands.
I use TomTom, have no problems with it at all, works 100%
Presumably using VGA version rather than QVGA?

Yes indeed, but it's the 480 X 800 screen that might present an issue
I use tomtom7, but for some reason on my kaiser and rhodium it runs SO SLOWLY.
I only get about 0.75 frames per second update time, which frankly is terrible compared to the 3-5fps that you would see on a standalone tomtom unit.

I use 7.915, the latest version which runs flawlessly.
As mentioned ... I have CPL6 and it works fine on the TP2 taking up the whole of the WVGA screen except the initial splash and performs well.

Hi there,
I might be really stupid but where in the settings is the option to switch off Assisted GPS?
I'm surprised that it doesnt work with A-GPS as the Kaiser had no issues at all.
