Hello everybody,
I’m terribly sorry to disturb you but I’ve already use the “search function” on this site and there are plenty of posts and I’m lost …
Do somebody know if there is the GPS and WIFI functions on the HTC TOUCH DUAL ( nike ) ?
If, it s yes, may someone give me the precise link of the ROM I’ve to use in order to active them…
Thanks to everybody
See Sticky on this forum. Short answer - NO. The Touch Dual does not have the hardware for it.
The Hardware is present but no Radio could use it till today! And there wouldn't be any Radio for it!

Hi All,
after reading many posts and searching for answers to my questions I think this might be the place to post my questions concerning my HTC X7500 ; if not please don't be .. I've just signed on to this -I must say great- forum.
Ok here we go;
I am Dutch and own an X7500 and upgraded to WM6 using Advantage_HTC_NLD_2.21.404.1_1.50.00.00_Ship.exe; as you can see the language is Dutch. No tweaks; just plain WM6.
After several mails to HTC support asking for a DL link for WM6 english (if i'm correct WWE) I was told the WWE version was not due until 2 weeks.. uhuh; X7501 ships with MW6 and in English so there should be sw out there for me. Googling brought me to this lovely site and to Duttythroy's post of 31-08-07. Installing Advantage_HTC_WWE_2.21.405.2_1.50.00.00_Ship.exe failed.
I have several guesses why but am just not sure.
So my 1st question is;
What must I do to install WM6 in English on my X7500? (if it kills my warranty, no problem; just should work). Can I also install the upgrades/updates mentioned in topic "Athena Project Black Touch Edition by PK".. Love how it looks!! if the 'feel' is as well..
The 2nd question(s); Could anyone point me to some specific reading material related to upgrading issues for smartphones? eg HTC's X7500. I'd like to understand the principles of it all. Is sw always HW related or are there some 'baselines'? Is a ROM, phone specific? Is firmware referred to as ROM? Those basic things.
Why these last questions? I'm a former IT engineer/manager who stepped out of IT business and ... opened a restaurant. IT is still a hobby but I 'miss' the last 3 years of phone sw selfeducation..
Thx for any reactions and any time anyone will spend on my post.
cheers,
Hans

Sorry for such short answers but i'm headed to bed but still wanted to start you off:
Upgrading Phone
- Take out SD card
- Use Olipro's unlocker to SIM/CID unlock your phone (All three steps)...more info on this forum.
- Install ANY Athena (x7500/Dopod/Ameo) ROM you wish (read around and you'll pick up on what others like)...you can do this either from Bootloader or after the ROM sets up.
- Reinstall your programs.
More Info on Phones etc
- Read through this forum
- Check the Wiki (you'll find it if you read through the forum ;-) )
- You can also read through other device threads to gather a little info on what they do. The forum has 90% of what you need already
Maybe someone else will pitch in and answer questions in more detail.....nite all!
Thx a lot Itxda,
I stayed up late also and read myself trough the forum.. took a lot of coffee and some beers Was my day&night off; was fun again to 'dive into' IT related stuff..
I came to the conclusion that I had to follow Olipro's unlock routine 1st, but it's very nice to have it confirmed!
Unfortunately I cannot get sound playing the video from Agent Bignose.. Other video's youtube etc play with sound so.. 1st have to fix that although I have a clue what the vid. msg holds..
After reading trough the - I like it better and better! - forum I expect that the re-installation of my x7500 will go smoothly. ehh hope so
Again thx for the response; If I find the time I will try to make a 'understanding x7500 for dummies' with my experiences which some of you might fine tune. Will save you Senior Members time explaining and will help me understanding the big picture better.
Is that ok with you?
Cheers,
hans

Pefection! Just let us know where you get stuck and we'll help along. Take care.
Thx ITxda!
Just one check before I go nuts; Does any of you have sound playing Bignose's Video?
Tried out on several independent systems; nada.
It's not 1st of april. So no sound probably in vid.
Cheers,

Hi guys!
I'm looking to buy HTC S310 but I have some questions before:
- Is it possible to set recurring alarm for the work weekday only? (e.g: with the check box for all single weekday... )
- WIch version of TomTOm runs on S310?
- I've got a lot of programs for my old i-mate Jamin with WM5... does that programs runs on S310 too or I need the smartphone edition?

Hi
personally i would not recommend you to buy this device.
as you can this thread is the most passive thread.
for this there are several reason
1. Not many people have them
2. Everyone who has one is happy with it so that they dont need to visit this kind of threads.
3. As this phone is basic (especially the screen resolution) not many people have an idea to play with it.
4. It is considerably less opportunity to CID or SIM unlock the phone due to deficit of interest in it.
Now regarding your questions
1. it should be possible to do the recurring alarms. dont know yet how cause never needed it though.
2. I dont use tomtom so i dont know.
3. you will need smartphone wm5 edition for all its applications.
My advice if you want to enjoy some nice shaped wm5 smartphone and at the same time if you will not overestimate its modest capabilities you can buy it. but dont put expect smth superficial from it.
Agreeed with botik. The only advantage of the Oxygen is the ability to record phonecalls. Otherwise, if the lack of the phonecall recording isn't a problem, go for something better - the Vox, for example.
Hello! I am new on this forum so I have to ask a moderator the rules... Then I will tell u my problem...

The Atom does not have in-built GPS ... it requires a B/Tooth GPS receiver (you can buy a sirf III unit... for about $50 - $100+). As far as software - used destinator 6 & tom tom 6 (find Tom Tom better) but both work fine on my Atom. a windscreen holder is a good investment (about $25) - do a search and read reviews that way you should find a combination to suit your needs.
Sorry, I repeat myself because I see a Sticky post saying "NO GPS - anntena missing". I've also read a few contradicting posts so I want to make clear:
HTC Touch Dual (nike) HAS gps receiver.
It is enabled on my “Bell” ROM (Canada).
I used the Diamond test software and I can see about 10 satellites. (Nadavi_HTC_GPS_TOOL.cab)
I have also installed Google maps and Garmin Mobile XT and both work like a charm.
I don't think there is a register/settings you can change to enable it on your phone. I think you need a new ROM.
On the WIFI side, I strongly believe it has WIFI but we may need a new ROM to enable it.
Dump your rom and share!!!!
Do you have an 528 MHz CPU? If yes, you have a Neon400 that comes with built-in GPS! And that's why you can't give us Niki-Users a GPS-enabled ROM!
More [email protected]
The canada Released Neon400 has GPS thats been confirmed alot already confirm you have the Neon400 and theres nothing special here
htc are sure churning out lots of different versions of the nike/neon
This sounds realy good!
Need a Dump from SPL and OS. After that, i make NV-Item and RAM Dump. Then i can Compare and found this settings.
Please talk with me tomorow via ICQ or MSN!
Hi, I have no longer followed this thread as I found out I have a Neon and not a Nike.
I'll dump the Rom, SPL, OS and anythink that can be dumped if you tell me how.
The Neon400 isn't the same like Neon100/200/300 because the Neon400 based on another Chipset! This chipset is the Qualcomm MSM7201A (like the Diamond) instead of the Qualcomm MSM7200 and this chipsets doens't have a built-in GPS antenna so dumping your ROM isn't really helpfull for other HTC Neon users!
Sad but true, even for us Niki users!
Anime ... CPU doesnt interessting me ... i need a Full Ram Dump, then i can enable it. I think, GSM is present in Niki and Neon to. Possible Antenna isnt present. I need some NV-Items etc ... i will talk with Thread Starter NOW to found a solution!!!!
Aaahh, I didn't know it! I need to learn a lot more about HTC devices!
It seems HTC is always good for an surprise
Hope Netrunner will find the needed Files. With GPS the Niki is a dream for me
Thread Starter doesnt answer hehehe
Not much to answer. I don't know how to dump the ROM and I've asked before. If you can teach me I'll post the file. Mabe somone can enable the Wifi for Neon, at least.
Yes i will teach you all we need BUT please talk with me over ICQ, MSN, MAIL, Skype ... what ever!
We need a lot steps and its to complex to post only via this Thread!!!!
Some steps doesnt brick your phone, but it doesnt start the OS, after reset. Some steps need a lot of time. Full Ram Dump ~ 2 hours!
I just ordered HTC Touch Dual from bell canada
set to arrive in mail in few days, does this mean im getting the Neon400? want to be 100% sure.
and if so, should i be looking at roms made for the HTC Diamond instead of nike roms?
Hi all,
I sincerely apologise if this has been answered before but I did try
to use the search function but I did not really see it that clearly
I am sorry if I am off the ball / wrong or don't know what I am talking about but...
According to the data sheet found here:
View attachment DTCOL_2007FEB15_AVDE_RFR_AN_01.zip
It states that the MSM7200 (Nike Chipset) does indeed have "support" for a wifi module and claims there is a GPS unit. Now I don't know if the "support" word means it has wifi or is capable of wifi being added.
The HTC Kaiser uses the exact same chipset but has wifi and gps already onboard / installed.
Don't know if I am correct but,
Is there any way some ingenious XDA Developer can maybe "use" or "take" from the HTC Kasier Windows Mobile ROM drivers and maybe use or add them for the Nike somehow?
Once again, I am sorry if this has been answered before, but couldn't find it.
If it has been answered then feel free to remove it I won't lose sleep at night if you delete this post
Thanx
Wayne
yeah thats right wifi is included at the nike, but the drivers are missing .
and we need a antenna for the reception.
look at:

and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436158
Hey syre! Thanx
Thanx for the info dude,
However, what I am really asking is there some possibility that some XDA dev
maybe could use the drivers and / or the radio drivers from the Kaiser and port them over to the HTC Dual Touch since they share the same MSM 7200?
Is there some possibility maybe?
Sorry if I sound like a douche bag hahaha...
sorry no more development on that, nike is an old device, on this forum nike user and developers is not many anymore so that seems imposible for now. Anyway GPS and wifi thing had been developed before but no luck to make it working on nike. you should give up for that feature unless i think if htc leaked their device structure and driver for us, hope you understand. thanks
Oh well...
Thanx guys, at least i got my answer,
Its just i wish i had wifi on my device,
Anywayz...
Thanx
Wayne
how can i install the GPS & Wifi drivers
