I want to activate the FM radio, is it possible to install X7501 ROM on X7500 device ?
It will work ?
yes you can
but you must unlock your phone first!!!!!!!
use olipro

be sure to follow all instructions
good luck
Anyone have the X7501 ROM?
I will try this to see if the FM hardware is actually in there.
They took the front cam off the x7501, maybe the x7500 does not have FM.
Wonder if it has RDS?

Which kind of soft can use/play FM radio on X7500 converted to X7501? Could you attach a screen picture catched on Athena playing FM station?
FM Radio
hi, I have an HTC X7501 and reading this post made me wonder if it has a radio chip or if it can play fm radio?
X7501...FM radio??????
O my god....I must find saleman...
he had given me the wrong one
If there really was an FM radio (audio on FM frequency) on the x7501, don't you think we would already have seen some screnshots of it here? An I'm sure it would be one of the hot topics on this forum, like issues, bugs, 3rd-party apps, etc.
Oh well, I myself wish I could listen FM music on my x7501.
Sigh.

Anything ever happen with this, has anyone ever verified that the FM tuner is in the X7500 and the X7501?
I have a Touch Cruise, can I dunp the rom and extract the FM Tuner software and add it to the X7500 to use the tuner?

i am actually working on this after checking the service manual and seeing a pic of what looked like a very early athena rom with it. no gaurantees yet as it isnt working yet.

Today weve learned from the neighbours forum that GPS One is alive and very much kicking... Our Hermes seems to have the same Chipset and same Qualcomm 6275 chip, now the big question is - once our baby brother mastered its GPS, whataboutus (what about us..)..
Any thoughts..

Very good question indeed, do you mean we could have a gps inside our hermes now?
This sounds interesting
This isn't new news, and so far there have been zero indications from HTC re: making GPS a live feature on the Hermes...

Of course it ain't news.. it's just that at this exact moment I'm uploading the GPS enabled ROM on my Trinity... it is supossed to work in 10 mins.
And henceforce I'm calling all Hermes Gods here.. make it happen for our Hermeses as well... pleeeeeeaaaaaseeeee !!

Guys IT WORKS... to all those unbelievers... I've upgraded the ROM in a chinch, installed IGO 2006 and with trembling hands activated the GPS:
1. Fix was almost immediate
2. Sat. discovery was beyond expectations - 7 Sats
3. Almanach saved (meaning next GPS off/on got me immediate fix)
4. GPS Accuracy (DOP) = 1.2
Now all unbelievers, eat your hats.
All remaining is to adapt DOPOD ROM to our Hermeses. Let's see now what we can do here.

wow that is some great news! but one question that comes to my head is why on earth would HTC block this feature if the device could do it? shouldnt it be other way arround where they could have used it to make tytn more attractive??? anyhow if the gps thing work my tytn will be perfect!

Dopod ROM with GPS enabled from Trinity won't boot on Hermes. The GPS is enabled by the RADIO (see trinity radio rom versions end in .11). Both devices have similar radio, but AFAIK no one tried to flash a trinity radio on hermes.
See this thread for more information on the GPS in hermes devices:

Hi Pof, that's exactly what I'm saying, and I don't expect it to be a 1-2-3 thing either.. It's only that about a month ago I published an article investigating the GPS enigma on the Trinity. The investigation has led me to the conclusion that Trinity does have a GPS, but also to the fact that Trinity and Hermes share similar radio and same Qualcom chip with GPS One on board.
So earlier today I get a phone call from a friend telling me of the Dopod ROM for the Trinity enabling GPS. I couldn't wait anymore, fetched me a Trinity, dlded the ROM (while still available..) and in ~10 Mins., Voila, I'm holding in my hands the proof for my investigation and article.
Then I thout to myself..hmm.. next case, now let's prove that this can work on the Hermes as well (a side assumption in my article). If it can, it's gonna make the Hermes the real king of the hill... HSDPA, All-Band, Video-Call, Qwerty, 2MP Macro Cam., Fast CPU...now add a GPS and one has THE best yet PPCPE ever available.
I'll drink for that, .

Almost too good to be true
I am all ears let's try this happen...
correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe we need buy in from operators too. They support gpsOne by providing the system that crunches raw fixes into positional information. In this case, a hermes would send raw data to and endpoint on (say Cingular's) network and services there would convert to fix & return.
I may be all wrong here but that was how I interpreted gpsOne.
So will that Rom work on the Hermes? I have the Cingular 8525 and i had an option to download a software for GPS from Cingular for a monthly fee but i just use my BT-338 & iGo.

well if its true what you say and that it is sure they will support trinity's gpsOne + given that tytn has exactly same gpsOne = shouldnt tytn be supported too automatically?

From what i've understood that's not really the case. gpsOne can function as a normal standalone gps device, with the added feature that it can rely on assistance from the cellular network if it supports it. This results in a quicker fix and better accuracy. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS)
But standalone GPS should be possible!
The only question that remains is:
Is the GPS hardware of the hermes connected in a functional way?
The chips are there, but is there an antenna? And does GPS need a separate antenna? I can't see a lot of differences on internal photo's of Trinity and Hermes.
If all radios use the same antenna and if it's connected to the Qualcomm RFR6250 chip, the trinity radio rom just might enable GPS on Hermes. I certainly hope so.
And where is the antenna in the trinity?
I think we can compare the pictures of hermes and trinity that are in the FTP. If you see they are very similar.
I bet hermes has a gps, but htc didn't advertise maybe because battery problems, software problems or even hardware problems.
But first we need to find where is the antenna in trinity and then,see if we have a similar thing in hermes.
ok, if anyone has the balls to flash a trinity radio on hermes PM me... but this will most likely kill the device, I don't want to try with my hermes
@ionide: tks for the clarification! I just wasn't sure given what I was reading.
@pof: mine aren't big enough... too many unknowns.
We ultimately need a (goldcard?) solution that is guaranteed to bring back a hermes from brickdom...

Hi ...
I've been tinkering around with upgrading the radio stack on my JasJam ... i notice the latest (1.35.00.11) is said to have GPS Enabled ...
What are they talking about ? ... Navigational GPS ? ... and is it a hardware thing included or just a compatibility thing with GPS Hardware ?
Thanks

: Maybe a bit more time reading and less time playing and you'd have discovered this sticky

It should enlighten you
No, no and no.
Please read the GPS thread. GPS will never be fuctional with your JasJam unless you buy a bluetooth receiver, but the 1.35 radio stack works fine without it.

you mean tomtom navigator is already working on hermes. the chipset inside the hermes is already activated and working fine with the latest radio rom?
No, i mean the the GPS chip in the hermes will NEVER work. but you can use Radio ROM 1.35 regardless. the GPS part just will never initialise. Buy a bluetooth GPS.

I've read the related thread but I really couldn't understand.
somewhere it says that the gps chip is working but lack of antenna is a problem.

I think .VIBE means it will never work in a stock Hermes - if u want to open your phone, fit a new antenna and then wait for developments then it MIGHT work in the future - but no guarantees
I'll go change the Wiki....

Helloooooo,
There is a new Radio-ROM available for the Trinity; 1.41.00.11.
Can someone tell me if this Radio-ROM is working on the TyTN?
And yeah yeah... I know we have 1.40.30.00 and that the last digit '1' means it is for 'GPS included'.
I know we can not use GPS NOW. But I'm still negociating about modifying my TyTN to add an antenna.
So, can I or not That's the question

There is a newer Radio then 140, you can find at this thread
v1.41.00.10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303378
I wouldn't use the Radio ROM from another machine, new radio rom's are a popular event, if it was possible to use with a hermes you would have seen Threads to that affect.
You will notice he is talking about 1.41.00.11 which is the gps enabled alternative to the radio you talked about....same radio....just no point in flashing it to the hermes.
Thanks
That's clear. Thanks for the answer.
On the X7501 I can run FM radio, is it possible to run FM radio on X7500 ? or is it hardware that had been added to the X7501 ?
No idea, but I use this on 7500
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/radio/default.asp
No. The x7500 doesn't have any Radio reception hardware.
The resco product mentioned above only streams audio over the network connection.
Thanks for the replay
BTW yes both devices have the FM radio chip but it is disabled on the X7500 this has being discussed but as most people have the tmobile ameo with unlimited data on web n walk it wasnt urgent to hack, and also with 8GB hard drive plus Mini SD there is a load of room for ur favourite mp3s and videos so you probably wont ever want the radio much anyhow...

OK thanks for the information,
I think that the usage for X7500 radio chip beside of FM radio is for navigation usage, the new navigation software use TMC for calculating the rout in case of trafic (IGO/MIOMAP/Destinator/TOMTOM).
It can be an advance feature for us world wide...
I want radio
Despite all the other great features of my Ameo, I realy would like to get the radio working and am ready to add $50 to the fund to get it. Anyone else care to join me?

Can you actually have FM radio on the HTC X7501? I recently bought one and it doesn't say anywhere that it can do that. How are you able to get FM radio on the X7501? I would love to know please.
Thank you.
I'm a newbie here and considering the purchase of a used x7500 with WM6.0. The current owner has a problem with the bluetooth not functioning. I'm wondering if this might be a common problem with 6.0 and if the new cooked 6.1 (4 – if that’s the latest rom version) might solve such an issue? Also, would you mind directing me to the page that has the most popular /cleanest 6.1 rom? I’m tearing my hair out trying to figure out which is the safest one to use.
Kind regards,
Peter (Bamse1)
no need for 2 threads mate
Okay, but I didn't intend this as the same thread as the other one (see "Cleanest/Most Popular 6.1 rom as of 2DEC08??"). I just carelessly pasted some of the same intro text, but there is a difference. My focus on this thread concerns the BT issue. I will take the liberty to paste a private message reply quote from Brau0303 which helps answer the original question:
... As for the BT issue this could be a junk rom, a bad radio version (software & fixable) a hardware failure or something the current owner simply screwed up because they did not follow instructions and may or may not be fixable.
Click to expand...

Bottom-line: Apparently no clear connection between faulty BT and a bad ROM. In the meantime, the HTC service vendor Anovo Nordic AB in Sweden has agreed to fix it free of charge as long as there is not visible damage (there is not) and it is under the 2-year HTC warranty (which it is). It is not clear what their views are on cooked ROMs, but probably not favorable. Fortunately it has not been flashed and has the stock HTC WM 6.0 - which is good news in this case.
Let me add a reply by Lakeman too:
I personally have never had a bluetooth problem and it is not a common problem... I would hope flashing another rom would fix your bluetooth problem, but some of these phones are getting old (18 mths) so there is the possibility of a hardware issue sometimes it would pay to reflash the radio as they can get corrupted as well just make sure you kmow which spl you have and flash the right one

I had a lot of bluetooth problems with the stock WM 6 rom. Most of these problems are gone with Michy v5 rom. But my brand new S740 is better still.
Thanks ralf_pp, but this thread is under the Athena X7500 advantage not the Rose S740, unless you're suggesting that Michy v5 also works with the X7500?? Do you mind clarifying?

I think he was talking about Michy's 5.0 or 5.1 ROM, which are two ROMs for Athena. And then he was probably bragging that his Rose has better bluetooth quality than Athena.
not sure what is on 7500 or 6.0 rom
but on factory original 7510 with 6.1 bluetooth works perfectl for stereo music and phone calls automatically.
it auto plays back, and cuts off as necessary to handle both.
remote control keys (AD2P) works perfectly.
voice dialing command key
phone feature key (press hold to dial last number)
press to mute, etc, etc....
