hi every1,
my 3 contract runs out next month and i am thinking about getting the MDA Compact III.
My question is about co-pilot that comes with the t-mobile UK bundle. I was wondering if was able to get hold of the installation cd's from somewhere ... can i install it on my empty memory card
are there any serial numbers or anything that i might need?
//edit
just another question to add. anyone with the co-pilot bundle. i went to a t-mobile shop today to ask them about a similer question. worded differently tho lol. seem to have answered my question. the co-pilot bundle does come with original installation cds for you to re-install them on your mem card. ;-)
but the women said that the co-pilot bundle comes with an antenna that plugs into the back of the phone. now im wondering
1) is this really needed? bcoz i thought the GPS was in-built????
2) wot type of antenna would i need? and how much do they cost?
thanks,
Snoop
Ive ordered a compact III without the copilot bundle. from reading other peoples reviews, they have installed software such as tomtom on the pda and it worked successfully. Hence im pretty sure you dont need any sort of antenna. Interesting to know what they meant?

thats a good point you know. maybe she said that it comes with attenna because it would help boost the signal. bcoz my friend has a navman pda and he uses an external attenna to do just that.
it be interesting to know to excat box contents of the phone and phone with copilot bundle. can anyone fill us in please
thanks,

Sounds interesting.
Maybe they include an RDS antenna to get live traffic updates??
Can anyone confirm this?
hi guys,
regarding this external antenna. please read below. found it on this website http://htcphonestore.com/review.asp?itemMDL=HTC_P3300
GPS Navigation
One of the best features of the Artemis is the integrated GPS. With a built in GPS Sirf-Star III chipset, navigation was seamless. The unit comes bundled with TomTom 6, and included in your purchase is the ability to download one free city-map. Additionally, there is an external antenna port on the back of the unit which enables you to achieve better satellite reception. More on the GPS capabilities in Part II.
just need to find out what type it is. maybe some with the manual can have a read through and tell us. if under there accessories section they mention anything.
thanks,
snoop
found this description about a Bluetooth GPS antenna?
http://www.yourkindamobile.co.uk/upgrades2_orange.asp?Phone=2036&Network=T-Mobile
Includes Co-Pilot GPS navigation which gives you spoken and on-screen turn instructions, satellite positioning, address-level street map, ETA and distance remaining, detour around traffic and 2D or 3D display with night mode. Bluetooth GPS antenna included.

If you really think you need an external aerial for the GPS unit in your device (which I doubt to be honest) have a search for the part number 36H00352-00M it transpires that the same aerial was supplied for the I-Mate PDA-n, you can purchase one from http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=129590 (at least I can improve the reception on my PDA-n now I know that! and I have found a use for the external GPS aerial that was supplied with my Arte) - Mike
To confirm guys...
I opened the box to an MDA III co-pilot and the package contains:
Software
Moulded Car Holder (Windscreen Sucker)
Car charger for MDA
No GPS antenna and no Bluetooth receiver. This product retails at 169.99 compared to 199.99 with the GPS bluetooth receiver (Vario, Vario 2 etc...)

wwwhoooo thanks treblechance. thanks for confirming, must mean the shop assisant meant that you can BUY one extra. like the one pointed out by mikealder. because i know a friend who has one of those navman pda's and he is using an external attenaa to boost the signal. and simply plugs in the back, similar place to what the shop assisstant showed me.
looks like i what need to buy the copilot bundle after all SAVING me a bundle of $$$ hehe
thanks everyone for the help.
If you have the hardware and only need the GPS software try using it first with the inbuilt GPS, don't go wasting money on the external GPS aerial, the receiver in the Artemis is very good without re-course to an external feed. If you have a car with Athermic coated glass you might experiance a signal drop but even so I would try it first and it should be fine with just the device on its own - Mike
ye good point mike. thats what some of my friends said. thanks

TomTom on the MDA Compact III? Anyone used one?
Hi all,
I am in the process of getting tmobile mda iii compact without the bundled co-pilot but tmobile call centre said it wouldn’t work but I’m very taken with tom tom.
So I am seeking information from anyone that has actually pulled it off.
This is because I would like to know if there are any negatives involved and what.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanx

hi,
i think they may be right. i tried getting co-pilot to work on my mda but wasnt having any of it. so i gave up in the end. i think the only way you can install it is using some kind of auto install file that is on the memory that is provided when you buy the bundle.
as for tom tom. i have managed to get that working just prefect. i tried it inside my house wasnt getting a very good signal. stepped outside...and hey presto 11 signals picked up. i havnt done full test of it i.e. driving from my house to another location. but it seemed to work fine when i did a small walk around my local area.
hope that helps.
regards,
snoop
i have a question about copilot's installation. Does anyone know where the license file is installed. I had copilot installed on one device and copied files onto another device thinking that would save me download time. Anyway now it keeps picking the licensing info from the previous device. I have tried uninstall and reinstall but that did not help. If someone could help me with resetting the licensing info so I can register the software with the new key. Thanks.
Since I have a iy780 that does not have an inbuilt fm-radio I+d like to find a bluetooth headset with a fmradio.
The best one Ive seen seems to be Itech clip d-r.
Unfortunately they dont sell it in Europe. I havent been able to find one anyway.
I know Nokia has one but its almost triple the price of Itechs.
Why are there so few headsets with radio?
I dont understand it, must be a great need of such a headset.
Any recommendations for swedish user like me will be greatly appreciated.
Its soooo terrible...
The FM radio only works with the offical headset. Wont work on third partys
Probebly a good thing i dont listen to the radio much
But this is really a fantastic phone i utter love it

ofcourse, the antenna of the radio is within the headset itself, its not in the phone, Lol, .... most phones are like this
Use internet radio Probably that's better.
Me neither, I don't listen to radio ...
For me, the most important thing is web browsing experience ...
- How good is the screen for web browsing
- How fast is the web browser
- How convenient is typing text (to comment in a web forum)
- How good is the bookmarking
- and so on
So far, from what I have seen (I dont have the device yet), it will satisfy my needs above.
Having simple Flash Lite 4.0 is a bonus while waiting the true Flash 10.1 !!!

That's very annoying if true. The user guide says "You need to connect a headset first to the audio jack of your phone to use FM Radio. FM Radio uses
the stereo headset as the FM radio antenna"
No mention that it has to be the supplied headset. It says "a" headset. And it only says the headset is the antenna. Most phones with built in FM radio will accept any headset as the antenna.
EDIT: It is also contradicted by this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5998006&postcount=6
I have never tried a phone that need Offical headsett, the last i tried was htc hd2, no problem
Not unexpected , needing headphones plugged in, but for me that is irritating as i was hoping to be able to use it over a stereo bluetooth headset (yes i know there are headsets with radios built in but doubling up functionality annoys me , grump over)
Well considering I sat this morning listening to the radio with two different pairs of headphones, I disagree! One was a pair of in ear sennheisers and the other was a headset that came with my webcam.

Strange... i tryed my philips inear headphones from my Ipod the radio would run but i just get static all the way through insainly bad reception...
The HTC headphones provided worked fine... That was the basis of my gripe...
But its not really that much of a problem as i dont listen to FM radio anyway

Mine works fine with a non HTC headset.
It's 2010 FFS FM is dead. Internet?
Does the speaker location suffer like the N1?
I mean if you put your Desire on a table the sound doesn't get mufled?
Rather than purchasing another expensive add-on, I've read that the Desire has the capability of transmitting FM.....e.g. if I wanted to listen to an online radio station or my music library from the Desire on the car stereo.
I've searched the forums/app market with no luck, does any one know of an app or solution to having this work?
Thanks!
ive never heard that the desire can transit fm ??? i use a bluetooth car head unit works great
So absolutely nothing?

the desire does have a fm transmitter, i remember reading it in the specs when i was deciding what phone to buy to replace my hero
Then where is it, I never read anything as such.. this is one thing I miss from my n 900 .. would be a massive fail if I missed it out
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i found a thread talking about the n1 fm transmitter, as we all know the n1 and desire have almost identical hardware
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=7d31d3160c3bbacc&hl=en
i've also read that there is an fm transmitter built into the hardware.
there's no way to make it work though eh?
hi there

The FM radio has to be built into the software on the phone. It is true that the headphones can work as an antennae, but they are still dependent on the software being there on the phone. As of now, no one has been able to successfully get a working FM radio on the Vibrant.
Sorry for my bad english i mean to say i want headphone in which fm radio is inbuilt not in samsung vibrant phone ...
you can use the sony mw600's, which are bluetooth. i've tried it once with the vibrant but purchased bluetooth headphones.
anyone know if i can use the mw600's, my sony bluetooth headphones, AND vibrant? kind of would defeat the purpose to have so many things in hand but I wouldnt mind missing to fm radio stations and when I first saw that the vibrant was gonna have an fm radio, like the hd2, etc...i was sold. not a dealbreaker that it didnt come with it though.
