IGO 8 in PK 4 - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

Hello ,
I did installed the IGO navigation software and I can't open the application .
I got the icon on today , the icon in programs , but no chance to start it. Does not react to any enter , click or anything?
Anybody does have the same problem?

Yes, Many, many people had this issue and asked the same question. Have you read ANY of the AP4 threads?
It seems based on what I read, that if you uncheck/remove the HTC home screen form the today screen you may get it to work. Not sure as I don't use IGO, if that doesn't work check the various AP4 threads or search the threads
Good Luck!

Agreed I found that disabling the HTC Home plugin allowed iGO8 to run; others have found it necessary to disable Touchflo as well.
I assume you have a legitimate version? The cracked versions can be much more troublesome

I did remove it. Does not work. I did tried to launch the IGO 8 from the today , menu , own folder , programs. Always , no result
with the keybord pressing enter...same.
Is not a legitimate copy, but installed on a Asus 636 works smoothly but not on a real PDA/UMPC

1)disable htc home in today settings
2)softreset
3)disable vueflo from settings/system/athena config app (optional) it may work without this step
4)start igo

It's not warez mister Legally Advisor. I assume that you have no demo on your computers / pda . You paid for everything that you are using , and did not remove the commercials from the free items like YM etc.
In this real world , sometimes you have to get first something , see if is working , then when the trial is done , you decide to buy or not to buy. I do not want to put 100 Pounds in something before I see it working.
But I am sure that you are some ASDA customer and you got the PDA from your employer so this problems are not common to you. Please keep away from the posts that are not for you. This is not a food thought forum. Thanks

Here's some 'food thought' for you.
Your exact words were 'Is not a legitimate copy'. Therefore you are using warez. The demo version is legitimate.
apd was quite correct to point out that we will not provide support for warez. We also won't help those with bad attitude, so you are SOL.
Bye.

I couldnt get australian maps till recently and following above instructions with "evaluation"version of Igo8 am running it on ap4 without htc home.
I like it better than Igo2006se as reattaching the keyboard doesnt stuff up the controls.
Also I can change the orientation of the screeen and Igo remains in landscape whereas Igo2006 would again stuff up.

Funny that you're getting so angry if your software is legal...."is not a legitimate copy" were your words.
If warez are condoned on this site, it will eventually have problems. and then we all lose out. Go reflect on that and try not to be quite so sanctimonious next time.

Really .... OMG ?! And who will come to inspect my PDA around the world ?! I think that you have a problem called frustration , cause you can't find cheap software. Try with doctor Phil ....

An intersting scenario I found when on holiday in Slovenia this week- in a quiet moment, I installed the Manila Dialler (I'd never tried it before!); I then forgot I'd done it.
I then needed SatNav in a hurry due to some roadwords and lack of road signs- could I get iGO8 to start? No Soft reset, tried disabling all Today Items, disabling VuFlo- still nothing. Gave up.
Got back to hotel and decided to look in ' Remove Programs' then remembered the Manila Dialler. Removed it, and iGO worked again
So, iGO8 in AP4 doesn't like Manila, or HTC Home, but for me is OK with VuFlo active.

Japanese Input

Hey all....
I recently change the language of my X01ht from Japanese to English.
Unfortunately i dont seem to be able to type Japanese anymore.
I can see it and read it, but not type it myself.
also, i seem to have problems with my Radio. after the device enters standby,
and i turn it back on, i cannot reactivate the phone. i have to soft reset before i can turn the phone on, using the comm manager.
this is not my first upgrade of a HTC phone, but certainly the most exciting
i hope someone knows what i did wrong.
Also, is it still possible to bake my own roms for the HERMES???
Sorry I can't help with the japanese input... but for the other questions:

This is very weird, which radio version are you running?
As you said you changed your phone from Japanese to English I assume you already have bootloader 1.04, then you can try to flash an extracted radio rom to see if it fixes the problems.

Unfortunately not yet, the hermes upgrades use NBH format instead of the NBF you have probably seen in older HTC devices.
The available shipped ROM upgrades contain all the rom parts in one single NBH file (IPL, SPL, MainSplash, SubSplash, GSM, ExtROM, and OS), this file is signed with an HTC private key, and checked against a certificate stored on the phone before it is actually flashed, so if you cook your own ROM in a NBH file you get an "invalid cert" error from the bootloader when trying to flash it.
Some of us have started researching how to hot-patch the SPL in RAM to allow flashing self-signed code, but it is still too early to have results.

thanks for your replies.
Im running Radio Stack version 1.07.03.10. I just realized that i cannot send emails via my Gmail account under Flexmail2007. If i connect to a WLAN everything seems fine. But using 3G, i cannot send anything. Internet and receiving works fine though.
Also, once i use my hermes for a while (surfing internet via 3G), the back of it gets quiet warm.
I guess around 38-40 degrees celcius.
@qtotter
thanks alot, mate. That really helps.
i seem to have a few problems with this device. i didnt have a HTC for a while, mainly because i moved to Japan and my phones didnt work there.
Now i seem to be a bit behind.

This is a configuration problem, check the 3G and proxy settings with your provider, this has nothing to do with the radio stack, you won't fix it by upgrading it.

i can send email via gmail with pocket outlook, and so does a friend of mine... i guess it's your setting in the email client as pof says.
also, my x01ht gets warm, too, when it's connected to the internet via 3gpp.
Thanks guys...im gonna do a hard reset tomorrow and built it all up again.
right now its all kinda messy.
I have over 5000 programs and games for PPC and i wanted to see what still runs, so i have alot of dead folders and probably some unnecessary registry entries.
I also might change from Flexmail back to PO or something else.

Thats certainly true...thats why i usually use only the ones that are interesting to me. but thats still alot...but since alot of the are a few years old now, i am reluctant to try them. i already had some problems with some software under WM5.
I installed the Japanese input...this language bar thing. But its really annoying. It opens 1 more bar every time i start a program/game.
it is also making itself very present. even if im in camera mode, when its in the
background, i can still move it. During games i have to move with the stylus, i will always pickup that little bar....very annoying...

i am not sure what the little bar you mentioned is. i guess you tried the method for non-japanese speakers?
i have never tried any input methods other than atok 4 ppc. if you do not mind spending a couple of thousand yen for japanese input, i would recommend you buy it. but it does not officially wm5, and you need a little tweaking...

How to avoid the unwanted appearance of the IME floater
1. Download, unzip and copy GWinter's KbdSwitch to Program Files. http://www.geocities.com/grieg_winte...are/index.html
2. Run KbdSwitch and set to Japanese IME.
3. Soft-reboot.
4. As soon the Pocket PC starts up again, the IME should be in Japanese. Sometimes, it is not and so you may need to reset KbdSwitch to Japanese IME and restart a few times.
5. Run any application that may use the Japanese IME, i.e. dictionary and wordprocessor.
6. Switch back to English IME (COMP IME).
NB: The floater should only appear only in applications that you started with Japanese IME on. Also, remember that the "X" in the upper right corner of the windows is actually a "minimize" function.

if you get rid of the software totally, why don't you uninstall it???

Hello,
Please, I tried this but couldn't make it work properly ... maybe I couldn't understand ... can you explain it better?
Anyway, Is there any way (even paying) to make the Japanese input work in a proper way, just like when you have the device in Japanese (always without the floating bar)??

Great Cabs for Titan

Until someone figures out how to cook and upload a custom ROM, here are some cab files for the Titan.
The first is the Home Plug-in used by the Touch. It shows the Weather etc. You
The second is a Music Plug-in
The third is a X-Button program. It's button appears at the top right of the today screen. One can close all programs or any one running program easily.
There's also a streaming video cab which lets one watch YouTube on the Titan. This website would not let me upload it. Search for it elsewhere. It's labeled as follows: RvBCrS_HTC_Streaming_Media
Just put these on your device and click.
Enjoy

Does anyone know how to make the Weather in Fahrenheit and not Celcius?
What is the difference in the X-button cabs. Some are 120kb and some are 240K? I installed version 1 of x-button and had to hard reset my Mogul. I want to make sure the version and size of the Cab are correct.

I'm not sure. I've never bought anything from marketplace. Please give me the URL of the site. What file format is the music in .wma?
I downloaded a song from Sprint and was wondering how to play it on my laptop. The .koz files are supposed to be really compact. However, I'd like to play them on my laptop. Sprint's music store's offerings aren't bad. However, after logging in on my PC, I cannot get to their music store. I've talked with two techies who say they'll fix the link between my account and the music store. So far - No go. At one time, Sprint supposed let you download an mp3 or wma to play on your laptop.

He revived yet another post from the grave for no particular reason. What he doesnt realize is that people may actually use the software/information in these old threads and then have to uninstall and install again once locating the newer versions or information. Thats simply not cool.. Even though its not that big of a deal, this place isnt for fooling around.

No one is saying that you cannot post that; it is merely a question of advisability of reviving a 2 year old thread and bringing outdated applications back to the foreground of the forums.
New users are attracted to the smartphone/pdaphone scene every day, and this website is one of the more prevalent sources of information. Old apps that may or may not work are just going to create problems for newer users if they do not work; and add more unnecessary questions being asked in the forums. When validating a new configuration, it is best to use the latest components that are available unless there is a specific reason for using older components; weather its on a pda or otherwise. New users don't always think of that, or think to search for a newer version, but instead post complaining that X component does not work and ask how to fix it. Leaving things like this buried saves those problems.
And if you like a application or enhancement that much it is not difficult to look for the most updated version you can find, state that its a great app, state that you have posted the most updated version available to you, and state the relavant revisions of radio firmware or OS rom you have validated the component on.

HTC Home plugin on Athena WM6

I've tried going through all the Home Plugin posts on these forums, but can't find my particular problem in any of them.
I have an Advantage with Dutch WM6, official download from HTC.
I have RealVGA running smoothly.
I wanted the HTC Home Plugin, so I downloaded the latest I could find here (v2.0, Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen) and ran the .cab along with all the cert.cabs I could find.
As expected, it looks funny at 192dpi, but works very nicely at 96dpi.
BUT...
The clock works and all the messaging-shortcuts work, but all the other tabs (pref. calling, weather, launcher and soundsettings) are non-functional.
When I try to add something to the launcher, it just gives me a generic folder-icon without any option to actually select a program.
Selecting a contact for the pref. calling tab doesn't do anything at all. The weather tab is empty.
Has anyone else had these problems, and if so what should I do about it?
-Asby
HTC home plugin VGA
Try HTC home plugin VGA, it work OK with 192 dpi also.
Tried it, and all I got was a blank spot where the Home Plugin should be.
Even tried substituting another .dll, no dice.
The only one that gives me anything (home tab at 96dpi) is HTC.Home.v2.1.1005.722.Directory.Fix.Only.schen.
Thanks for the idea, though.
Hmm, It does work at 96dpi on my athena no problem, if it is any use to you Im running it on PK3 Black touch rom.
I assume that you tried the app with the previous one uninstalled and that it is selected in settings >today> Items.
If you tested the file attached,perhaps is worth to do a search for the original file Just in case it got corrupted when uploading.
good luck with it anyway.

Maybe it's because it isn't embedded in the ROM? (doesn't PK3 have it in the ROM?)
I think I read on the forum that that was a problem with the Athena...
PK3 Black touch has the regular home plugin as an add on, it did not look proper in 192 and 128dpi, it wasn't that bad but then the newer app came and solved that problem, I don't know about black dual though,I'm waiting for PK4, also if you are interested there is SnapVue around, it does look fab in landscape mode, in portrait how ever it cut the right side.

Also, maybe I'm being blind, but I am wondering whether I've been stupid and I just need compact frmework to make everything work?
Man, I am a total noob, aren't I...
I want to thank you all for all your help!
This forum is such a great resource, and you're all very cool for helping me out.
Snapvue: Get the plugin working, but only the calendar-view works. All others don't even show up as tabs.
HTC Home: Tried the last versions from the Dual thread; they other don't show up at all or (2.1) only show the Home-tab correctly. All other tabs non-functional.
I'm beginning to think these just will not work with the Dutch 6.0 ROM, and I am not in a position to change ROMs right now.
Seems this isn't meant to be for me just yet...
Possible problemsolver:
rename the MUI to 0413 (dutch) as opposed to 0409 (english)?
I'll give that a shot when I get home.
I have given up on HTC Home Plug
I can't get the launcher portion to operate properly on either version. It is nice to have the numbers not be cut off on screen, but if I can't adjust the brightness on the fly, it won't work for me. Perhaps it isn't playing nice with some of my other software (of which there are many!) I'll wait for the new 4.0 ROM and see if that solves my problem.

I searched through over 50 pages for that version, but can't find a link. Is that the one linked to earlier in this thread or is the link somewhere else? I can't find it. Thanks.

Poor Man's Raphael

Just kidding, does anyone have one of these crazy things?
it should be more than possible to make this thing run full WM rather than just smartphone edition.

To make it worse? No, thanks.
But you might be able to upgrade your Raphael with Windows Mobile Standard ;-)

WTF Is it not touch screen? who will want this?!? lol
I DO!
since about 4 weeks
So would I. And I own a Raphael! Anybody wanna trade ? lol
Not at all. S740 is just so amazing. I am quite surprised so few people actually own it.
3G support for US possible?
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows if it would be possible to make a version that adds the 850MHz band for HSDPA? Maybe someone is already working on this? I do not know if the restriction to 900/2100MHz is due to its hardware design. I searched the site but seem to find contradicting info on this.
I own a Fuze, which is nice and fast on 3G but after having used the S710 and S730 I very much prefer one-hand navigation for everything else. The only thing keeping me from buying the S740 is that I want fast Internet access.
Thank you in advance for any info on this.
I think that limitation is hardware-based and therefor cannot be just "added"
HTC might work on US version of S740 but I have heard no rumors about such thing.
Guys I own one since a 3 weeks now and I acompletely in LOVE...
It is a "She" definitely (Rose)
I own one since 1 week and I m quite happy with it. Just a few things could be improved:
- Battery, mine last ~24hrs with a normal usage, HSDPA on, Btooth off, wlan off, Skype and MSN running and mail check every 10 min. But If I m in an area where HDSPA is always available (like... HOME) the battery last a lot less.
- Mine numeric keypad does a noisy noise.... like if there was sand behind the keys.
- Meteo doesn't work with other cities ( I tried everything... )
- I can t find a decent Navigation (GPS) software and a browser that actually work with the browser game oGame (I tried explorer, opera mini, opera mobile)

MSN, Skype and periodical e-mail checking produce quite some traffic and require a few CPU cycles, too. Both of these factors are quite good battery consumers.

Mine definitely doesn't. I would consider returning/replacing your unit as it might be faulty.

Do you mean HTC weather on the homescreen? And what exactly do you mean? Are you unable to select different city than default or unable to synchronize data for different city?

Try Sygic McGuider - I use it and I think it's excellent. Very fast, intuitive, good maps coverage and handles screen rotation.
Thank you for you answer!

I will try and compare it with another unit in the store. Thank you.
The keys work properly, the only problem is this little noise.

Yes, I mean HTC weather, the problem is that I cannot add other cities (present on accuweather). There are a few tricks for other HTC devices but they don t seem to work. (The cities can be easily added but the device is unable to download the data from accuweather)

that's cool
Hmm, I like my smartphones. (S710/S730/S740) Easy one Finger Navigation, you must not toogle between fingertips and Keyboards and much faster.
The most of our female Users like much more Smartphone Edition, is much easier to use for standard things.
And the today "New Email" Plugin is much better:
It shows "all" incoming Emails, also the Emails that are automaticly routed via Exchange Rules to Subfolders. With a "normal" PDA you see only New Emails that comes into your Inbox, with S740 you see all "New" Emails that are automaticly moved to Subfolders into the Today screen. That´s really the "best of" of the S740
I Wonder, why not Touch HD, Touch Pro, Diamond has this feature??
;-)

I hate touch
I hate touch screens, this is the ideal device.
i wish it was a big thinner, but frankly I am so please that HTC, Samsung, Nokia (s60v3) and others continue to manufacture non-touch devices.
They are so much faster to use, less input error, and no constant cleaning of screen!
yes that´s right. I use sometimes Nokia E66/E71 with Symbian OS, for quick & Dirty use on the road, that´s really fine, only the Nokias Mail for Exchange (MfE) Application is not so good like the one of S740. When this has same charakter sometimes, I will switch completly to Nokia´s symbian OS. ;-)

Just bought this phone

I bought this phone on ebay a while back and i'm just wondering can anybody give me some information about the phone e.g. Best GPS program , best audio player etc .
This is my first time having a Windows Mobile phone and also my first time even having a smart phone ..
As mobile browser I got Opera mini, works great. Think you can get it from m.opera.com.
For movies use CorePlayer. Best mediaplayer IMO.
I got NoData for when I'm traveling, and don't wanna end up with a huge bill.
SMSBubbles is a tiny bit buggy but it works. It allows a popup with the incomming text to appear on your screen, so you can read what the text says without having to navigate.
McGuider: great navigation; make sure you get the smartphone version
If you intend to use your own headphones to listen to music; use this here. There's a coupon; SH5OFF which will give you 5% off everything. Free shipping worldwide.
For the software I suggest you use the search button to get the most recent versions.
Good luck
thanks great reply !
I checked out McGuider earlier but didnt see this phone in the list of compatible devices ?
you just try to go to ---> http://www.freewareppc.com/download/utilities/cabinstl.shtml there you can find many free applications that are compatible for your device
Can anyone tell me does Google Maps have a sat nav feature or is it just like basic maps?
