I've just got a this Ameo as a replacement from T-Mobile because the previous one had got a faulty camera.
I found that there must be having another problem. It can't detect the signal as it could be.
I have had an experiments with other 2 phones, Orbit and V1640
- 0 Metre from the wireless router
Orbit , V1640 --> Full Scale
Ameo -> Receive signal level 2 (from 4)
- 6 Metres
Orbit, V1640 --> Level 2-3
Ameo --> counldn't even detect wireless signal
Tested with various ROMs but the results were the same
- WM5 T-mobile
- WM6 TM and HTC
- Project Black PK3
Have tried with PHM to stop CPU scalling but didn't work either.
Does anybody have another other advice? Plssss
I don't wannt to fight against T-Mobile on this issue once again which was happened last time when I had got a blank screen camera
In this case, I might need to go back to wm5.
Moreover, WM6 Black Project has changed the T-Mobile Splash Screen to a cool one.
I'm afraid T-Mobile might not be happy when they have it pre-tested.
Can anyone also guide me where can I download T-Mobile WM5 Rom?

Hi
You havn't mention which version of the radio is in the Ameo. I use 1.50 and works fulscale at 1m and 1-2 at 25m. Signal strenth will be depend on the surroundings (in your case you have three devices next to each other) and your router's performance. Where you provide more details more help you get.
Good luck

try disabling security and adding a mac filter list with the devices you wish to connect to your router. I found that this boosted my Ameo's range extensively.

Yes i found how to change the splash but WM5 is still the issue though
Poor Wifi Ameo / Athena
I am afraid about the poor Wireless and poor GPS in this Device. I changed the device 3 times there are differences at every device but its more or less poor because of poor technical design i think. Complainig at T-Mobile has had no success they cannot do anything.
They offered me to give the money back.
This coud be the greatest Device but not with this poor Funktions.
Thomas
I fully agree. Poor wifi performance seems to be a 'built in feature'.
4 mtrs away from the range extender I only get level 2.
Disabling security made it better.

Did you try going to Wireless Lan settings and change the Power Mode to Best Performance? That has helped me, I think...

Guys you might want to try different channels on the wireless router. See if the defice works better on the lower channels, as it does best for me on channel 6 on my Netgear router. Play with the various channels instead of leaving it set to auto, also make sure you are detecting your router access points and not the neighbors. Just my 2 cents.
Poor wifi
we should complain at T-Mobile. I rent a Ameo from T-Mobile to test. Wifi was better but GPS the same. It seems there are wrong Series or they want to Push the use of GPRS/UMTS
Wir sollen mal bei T-Mobile demonstrieren. Ich hatte mal ein Leihgerät. Da war Wifi o.k. GPS war auch schlecht. Es sind glaube ich fehlerhafte Serien oder man will GPRS/UMTS fördern.

Don't agree with that.
Hardware is identical on each version of the 7500 (which includes the Ameo). Have erased any T-Komiker piece of software and installed installed PK 3.0
Wifi is still as bad as before.

Have you tried different Radios? I use my Ameo in UK with Orange (though that should make no difference ) and was having big problems with GPS fix times. No real issues with WLAN, though I'm never more than about 5m from my Router
The GPS problem was fixed for me by reverting to Radio 1.47, and there has been no adverse effect in any other Radio features. Going back to 1,50 as a test resulted in the GPS going back to being unusable, and I've tried the full HTC WM6/Radio 1.50 ROM, plus PK3 and a separate Radio ROM.
Currently, although still not as fast as my Orbit2, the GPS gets a cold fix in 1-2 minutes, which is faster than my Trinity.
I've radio 1.50 installed but didn't play around with the versions. The reason is very simple: I had to install range extenders within my house to cover all rooms with PCs - therefore I get a connection with my Ameo everywhere now...and on business trips I use connection via UMTS.
GPS I didn't use yet - have a built-in system in my car.
However, when AP 4.0 is sometimes available I'll upgrade radio as well.

As someone also considering purchase in UK ..
11. How practical is the screensize / voice level to use the device with GPS in car such as tomtom navigator 2
12. Does unlocking software operate on W2K / XP ??
answers but only my opinion
1. useless if signal lost (search for my posts) in rom updated section.
2. can't answer this one as i use XP Sorry !
3. i have had 3 or 4 days between charges and if it keeps signal its ok.
depends on how much u use and talk though.
4. headphone quality is quite good for mp3 only problem is getting them to stay in your ears i have some foam boots off another set that help but they are still awkward.
5. you can set a limit on what u grab ie no file attach just headers etc so bandwidth u use will depend on ammount of emails and your settings.
6. who can tell what microsoft will do ? its future proof as long as they want it to be really.
7. infrared is kinda weak i found about 2 metres was my max with remote software.
8. maybe possible but the way it fits in i feel any mod would be ugly and easily damaged (liitle rubber door and a tiny microswitch that has to be operated would make this difficult (but who knows someone might do it) and you would also have to unlock it.
9. seems to work most ARM software unless there are harware rerlated issues to the ipaq like rotating screen or assigning buttons.
10. only you can answer that one for yourself do you feel its necessary at that cost and can u afford it ?? when unlocked i can see no reason at all why you could not use a differnet gprs provider as long as you had their sim in .
11. i have hooked it up to my gps reciever via serial cable with tom tom and it works but I dont now how noisy your car is :wink: its loud enough in my rover 400

Yes it does. 98/ME/NT/2000/XP and possibly also 95. And it's likely to also run on newer versions of Windows.
Further developments to my questions.
Today I went to the o2 Shop - to answer some of my q's
One thing that struck me was that when he went on the web - he still had to dial/connect - I thought they were online all the time?
My 2c:
1. It's not totally unusable, but if you need good coverage in weak signal areas, this device isn't for you.
2. Yep, you need a serial cable.
3. Can't answer as I use the PocketPC stuff much more than the phone stuff, but with moderate PPC playing, it lasts the weekend out no problem. As with all other phones, if you know you'll be out of coverage for a while, turn the phone off to save the batteries being drained by the 'anybody out there' signal when the phone trys to find a cell.
4. I quite like the headphones. The quality of the device's audio is very good. If you've got a pair of headphones you really like, you can get an adaptor pretty easily. A cheap 2.5->3.5mm phono adaptor is fine if you don't need to use the answer button.
5. There's not much hidden bandwidth, WYDIWYG (what you download is what you get). I think the polling for new emails mich be a bit inefficient: it seems to download all headers each time, but I've not investigated this.
6. This is one of the great things about the XDA, the OS is pretty much standard, and updatable (although O2 drag their heels on this one), so it's reasonably future-proof. There's too much of an existing PocketPC userbase for the platform to be abandoned.
7. As answered above. I think there's an adaptor for the IPAQ that uses the phono socket to drive a more powerful IR, but out of the box it's just to weak to work well.
9. Surprisingly, most IPAQ stuff works fine. The overclock utility even works (as usual be careful, it can cause a hard reset). HTC makes both devices after all. The main gotcha is there are less buttons on the XDA.
10. That's the deal I'm using. They're all pretty much the same. O2s coverage isn't as strong as Vodafone in some areas, but at least they offer some form of device support.
GRPS, while often advertised as an "always on" technology, does require you to dial up. The new rom alows you to set it so it doesn't disconnect on powersave/incoming phonecall. Of course if you loose your signal, it disconnects.
Thanks
Thanks so far!
I have been looking through the forum to determine the best combination of receiver + software as a gps solution. Is there a poll outlining the relative merits / demerits for the xda2s?
From reading threads, i feel alot of people use TT5 with a BT338 receiver. Would this be a reasonable solution?
Kind regards
I have BT-338. It work just fine with my tek 9090.
I use the BT-338 with CoPilot Live 5 and it works great on my SX66.
CoPilot Live 6 is too buggy, IMO.
I have not tried Tom Tom 5. But I could not install iGuidance 2.1.2 (I gave up after 3 attempts), TeleType World Navigator has huge breadth but not much depth in its features, and OnCourse Navigator 5 has user interface design problems, poor rerouting (it gets stuck on one path), and it requires manually starting the bluetooth connection each time.
Note: These recommendations might only apply in the USA.
tt5 & bt 77
Hi, my xda2s worked fine with TT5 and a BT77 bluetooth GPS, although the device configuration arrangement was a bit strange. However, that was on wm2003. I can't get any GSM functionality on wm2005 so can't comment on satnav and gps combinations with wm2005.
You will need to check with Tom Tom what support there is currently for Ireland. On the release of TTN5 there was limited support for the North & NO support for Eire. The latest downloadable maps suggest "major roads" of Eire are now supported but these maps are an additional purchase over & above TTN5.
I think i am the only BA user here with one, but i like my SD-501 (SDIO) GPS. its a great little unit, and gets great reception (not to mention better battery life compared to constant BT use!).
Still deciding on software though..
I was trying to use my X7500 for walking navigation and I am sure that the static navigation here is ON (during slow movement - less than 6 km/h is the change of location not detected or only in large steps). I was searching several forums than and tried several programs (SirfTech, GPSTweak, MMSirf, aplsirf, SirfDemo, BeeLineGPS) with no success. It seems like X7500 can not switch to Sirf mode. Do you have some experiences with this issue?
Thank you very much for your help.
erm....the GPOS chip in here is not a sirf chip, it's a qualcomm GPSone. I don't think it has static navigation.....
Qualcomm chipset? I am really confused - I was reading everywhere that it should be Sirfstar III. So, how is it?
I'm in the doubt too.
At the Dopod U1000 User Manual on Appendix A.3 Specifications at the second page of that section under GPS said "Chipset SirF StarIII with Ephemeris Extension support".
But on the Athena Service Manual (DOC-00026040) said nothing about what chipset is in the Athena. So I guess the GPS Chipset is one of the options the OEM has when asking to HTC for a Athena model (like HTC X7500, Dopod U1000, TMobile AMEO or others).
The Athena Service Manual is funny about this point since mention with deep detail the features of the GPS system like db levels for sample but doesn't mention the maker of the GPS chipset.
Related to the HTC X7500 Advantage I'm in the doubt of what GPS chipset contains. Even at www.europe.htc.com this point is no metioned neither in the web page nor the PDF you can download.
Best Regards,
mahjong
EDIT: Looking at Google many pages said X7500 has SirF StarIII GPS chipset but since that pages are not from HTC and HTC said nothing about it I'm still in the doubt.
Dear Mahjong, thank you for giving me just a bit hope. It would be a big dissapointment for me, if the chipset in x7500 is not Sirf.... does anybody have some more knowledge about this issue? Thank you for any news.
On page 233 of the Ameo manual and in the appendix section you'l read the following:
Chipset : SirF Star111 with Ephemeris Extension support.
Internal antenna : Yes.
GPS Receiver : 20 parallel channels.
OK, I am at home now and tried to open my manual also (at last) and there are the same data (SirF StarIII with ...etc.)
I hope, I can believe it. So the question is back here: how to turn off the static navigation of this GPS?
I tried also to ask directly at HTC support, but it seems to me that they even don't know what is it.... :-(
Any advice more than welcome....
My previous machine was an Mitac Mio a701 and since this was WM5 (like my X7500) got troubles with TT 5 and early versions of TT 6 that don't support properly the WM5 GPS virtual port option... which is linked with the ephemeris system.
The program I used to work in deep with the GPS was SirfTech. If SirfTech don't solve the problem... few more options you will have.
I was reading about the tests I did with my A701 and SirfTech and one thing I consider was improving the accuracy by using DGPS (WAAS). SirfTech helps me to activate the DGPS thing. Have you consider that.
SirfDemo is a great tool too. There is a tutorial in GpsPasSion related to SirfDemo and with a chapter dedicated to Static Navigation. Did you see it?
Is here: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=25575
Well, by now this is what I can help.
Best Regards,
mahjong
EDIT: Have a look to this one: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=39596 MMSirfSetup - MMSirf One click SN ON/OFF and on click WAAS ON/OFF
In the appendix.....
well bugger me....so it does! That surprises me. This thing is nowhere near as quick to pick up a signal as my old Artemis. I'm wondering if this is simply a case of whoever wrote the manual simply copy and pasted again, without double checking the facts. Lets face it, all the manuals in Dutch, Swedish, Danish etc all state that the device includes transcriber and letter recognizer and we all know that those languages dont! The only other GPS device that even mentions the GPS chip is the P3300 and it has the exact same info as at the back here.
Unfortunately, knowing what the device is like, and knowing what tends to happen when the manuals are written, i'm not so sure i believe it..
But in the meantime, until i can find out for definite, I stand (well, sit at a desk) corrected.

Yeah but... if you don't trusth on the HTC user guide and fetaures... what else? You should open the X7500 to have a look inside... but anyway the model number could be erased from the top of the chip which is something many companies do whatever the reason.
So? The images of system board at HTC Service Manual don't show any chip with the well-known Sirf logo... but I insist this is a feature that the OEM decide.
Hmmmm... using SirfTech on my X7500 I cannot get Sirf data...
One point for rhedgehog
EDIT: I changed to Sirf protocol using SirfTech and now I cannot access any GPS data. Recerting the change to NMEA using the same program doesn't solve the problem. What a mess!!! A warning: This doesn't looks a Sirf to me so don't mess around with Sirf programs by now.
I will keep everyone informed... let see if I manage to come my GPS back into live.
You see rhedgehog? I learned the hard way. :-DDD :-(((
Uffff Done....
I power off the HTC by pressing the power for 3 secs... then I take out the battery for 1 minute or so.... then reinsert the battery... power on... and...
My OziExplorer display again NMEA data coming form the GPS.
HTC X7500 doesn't look like having a Sirf chipset... and doesn't looks a good idea kidding with Sirf setup programs on it.

Athena (same as most of the current htc lineup?)is supposed to have the Qualcomm MSM6275 gpsOne chipset
http://www.cdmatech.com/technologies/gpsone.jsp
Ok I got it.
My X7500 has a Qualcomm MSM 6275 chipset. This information can be found on the Athena Service Manual. If you access the Qualcomm website and looks for this chipset you will eventually reach this page:
http://www.umtschips.com/products/msm6275_chipset_solution.jsp
This page said that the MSM6275 chipset contains not only the 3G capabilities but the GPS (an A-GPS solution based on GPSone).
In that web page there is information (and a PDF file too) showing that this MSM6275 chipset can manage the camrecorder, GPS, 3G telephony, video and a looooong list of features. I don't knwo how the video stuff link with the ATI Imageon video chipset inside our X7500 but... just access the webpage and read it by yourselves... For sample the MSM6275 contains an ARM core 926 itself so our machine is kind of dual proccesor:
624 MHz PXA270-series ("Bulverde") XScale applications processor
Qualcomm MSM6275 baseband processor
Anyway the combination of Qualcomm MSM6275 and ATI Imageon looks quite common since has been used by HTC in many machines like P3600 and P3300 and our X7500.
So...
1) Forget about Sirf StarIII on our X7500 (and Dopod U1000, Ameos... etc)
2) A big bow to rhedgehog... You were right we were wrong.
3) A question to the manual makers from Ameo, Dopod and HTC... why you mention there Sirf StarIII???? I don't understand that yet.
Offtopic: Another finding... The HTC Kaiser is not running with MSM6275 like ours Athenas... is running MSM7200 which is newer and add support to HSUPA (an evolution of HSDPA) that is suppoused to improve the upload traffic instead only the download (the U and the D on HSUPA and HSDPA).

Only just came across this thread - if I had seen it earlier I would have warned you - we found out the hard way some months ago that the GPS doesn't like being treated as a a SirfStar III. There is a thread about this from several months ago.

A good source for detailed specs is pdadb.net - see PDAdb - Athena
It has the correct GPS details for the GPS.
Didn't HTC find that Sirf III used to much power so the ditched it in favour of the Qualcom set?
Maybe but the question is still there... Why they delivered the user manuals with such an error??? They shouldn't. I mean if you said this is Sirf StarIII and the you mess around with software and got your Athena "brick" you can blame on HTC because of the misinformation (hmmm... is that properly written?)

Not sure... looks at this three lines taken from that page:
Interfaces
Expansion Slots: miniSD, miniSDHC, SDIO
Serial: RS-232 , 115200bit/s
USB: USB 2.0 client, 480Mbit/s , USB Series Mini-B (mini-USB) connector
3 features... 3 errors.... You don't have SDIO slot in Athena. You don't have RS-232 interface. And as far as I know is not USB 2.0 but I doubt in this one. At least the USB host is 1.1 I'm sure about that.
But the rest of information is more accurate than other web sites.

Guys,
I have found another settings
Go to Program File -> DopodScv, you can find the "GPSRecorder.exe" file
The program runs under Traditional Chinese character, you may try it out
surely this only works if you have a dopod touch dual?
as your going into dopod scv
Yeah, have it but can't use . Is this another sign that HTC dual has GPS?
It seems like HTC has disabled Wifi, GPS & FM Radio on Touch Dual
Anyway, i'm selling my Touch Dual within these few days... Good luck to everyone
I wish that my finding helps you guys in investigating the Touch Dual, especially the Wifi & GPS
GPS: Why do we need it IN the dual - I much prefer the battery life dividends that my Bluenext GPS receiver brings me. 25+ hrs (quoted) continuous... if it was in the Touch surely it'd be a real battery drain?
WiFi is different though. I respect it's also a battery drain, but I wouldn't have minded that for the occasional use. There's no bluetooth wifi adaptors out there?
Just my take

Hi there Guys i know you have all stressed that there is no antenna for the GPS in the touch dual but i would just like to bring to attention one note, in the uk T-mobile happen to offer the touch dual , with a preinstalled navigation software called Copilot live7 which usess the intetrnal GPS, i have also visited the copilot website and they have confirmed compatability with HTC touch dual. so so so anyone got anything to that?
It's true, sort of
Built-in sat nav
With the CoPilot® version of the T-Mobile Touch Plus, you get live satellite navigation with on-screen and audible turn-by-turn directions. CoPilot� is powerful satellite navigation software for your mobile which performs just as well as a dedicated or in-dash navigation system. When your mobile has sat nav you save on two counts - you won't have to pay for a separate device plus you'll save yourself from ever getting lost again.

Hi all,
i'm using the official WM6.5 on my HTC HD2.
I noticed when I browse internet with my pc using the HTC HD2 USB internet sharing, the connection speed is slow.
Slow means up to 1/4 of maximum speed.
If I use the same sim (so the same operatore) with the same settings but in a internet key, the connection is faster (and correct, of course).
I've tried in different pcs and i have always the same behaviour.
Some advise?

Is there some application useful to check the connection speed directly on HTC HD2?
Maybe always WMWiFi Router ??
Thanks
Pocket speed test, but is essentially same as using a web based speed test.
Also worth checking through advanced phone settings & HSDPA in Advanced Network setting to see all correct.
Installed WMWiFiRouter and it seems work ok.
I haven't done so many test but now connection speed is ok.
Thanks!
OT: why you don't have upgraded your HD2 to WP7.8?

Because if you have over 10 years experience with WM OS then WM6.5.x builds are simply hard to beat for professional use. WP7.8 is awful in some basic functions/flexibility on an original device & has a few issues on HD2. Locked down & minimal setting OS was not the way to go but MS went the Apple route, the smart phone is becoming a dumb phone ...
