Hello,
Looking for people who have successfully connected to a bluetooth GPS receiver to an ATT 8525/hermes. What works and what dosnt. With software is service required? Any specific bluetooth protocols needed? etc. etc.
Regards,PK
Gotta be someone out there???
Garmin
I have successfully Connected a Garmin Mobile 10 to my 8525 & LOVED it!!!
as a matter of fact, I also have an extra one for sale, along with an 8525 with Win 6.5 ROM & Lots of accessories, including a dead 8525 for parts
Thanks FLFXR,
Sounds like a pretty resounding positive. I looked at their site, pretty pricey. You can PM me with what you'd like to get for just the garmin &, well, everything to. I am on a pretty tight budget but the way thing are going with this thing...
Thanks, PK

I sound a bit like I work for Virgin (I don't honest).
but a:
1. DAB radio
2. Some TV stations (for 3 months on PAYG, but BBC1 will continue)
3. A WM5 smartphone (with bluetooth, EDGE and quad-band)
4. MP3 player
etc. for just over 100 quid. seems a nice toy to me!
If you go here
http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/lifestyleLanding.do
and make a note of the code, although its been 14000 every time Ive been there, you get 20% off!!
Plus if you go to the site through quidco you get 10% back as well!
I'm sorely tempted by this, despite the reviews, if only yuo could get it unlocked and still get the tv I'd buy it!
damn, bugger. You are right. Comes down to £90 inc. packing. Well I could send back and re-order. Or I may not bother ... too much hassle.
BBC1 is free continously. But I am looking at this as more of a WM5 smartphone to run games on and muck around with and as a pocket DAB player. It gets good reviews for the DAB radio, and good ones are around £99.
The main down side with this phone are:
1. Squijy keyboard
2. No wifi
Otherwise its got quite good reviews:

I'm quite tempted by this phone myself, but could you answer a quick question for me, please?
Once the phone is unlocked (as your other post) and another sim is inserted, would I still be able to receive the TV? I've read elsewhere that Virgin charge a fiver a month for the TV, which implies to me that it will only work with a Virgin sim in the phone
I've got 6 months of a tmobile deal to go, after which I am looking to get one of the ntl/Virgin sims with 300mins + 300 texts for a tenner a month.

1. I have succeeded in app. unlocking, but not sim unlocking. So still to come.
2. You can sim unlock from a commercial service. Do a google.
3. If it is sim unlocked, you can insert a sim from another provider and use the phone fine. The TV will also work. However at least every month, virgin change the crypt key on the TV channels. So from time to time your TV will go off and you will need to reinsert the Virgin SIM to get the new crypt key.
4. The DAB will work regardless

Thanks for the info, Colonel!
I've just posted on another forum to find out if the ntl offer will class as a monthly contract to get the tv for free. I'll post back when I get an answer
this phone can be unlocked either for free from virgin by ordering the code( you must have used at least 30 quid since you have had your phone tho) or you can get it unlocked instantly from imei-check but they take payment thru paypal,and as most of us know paypal are as reliable as an english cricket team in australia so i stay welll clear
but the virgin option is pretty cool,although wouldnt know wat to do with the 30 quid once topped up as virgin services are pretty useless
Lobster price

Lobster 700TV (HTC monet)
I've got one. I bought it for the DAB radio which is excellent.
The main draw back I've got is the Bluetooth A2DP issue. It don't work from the box, although the manual says it does! I've got back to Virgin who are presently investigating (first response was "it don't do A2DP" but they had to rethink coz it's in the manual).
I'm looking at the Tornado A2DP hack. Tried it without 'apps unlock' and got insufficent permissions.
So next step is to unloack and try again......but will wait until virgin get back to me.
Happy with the rest of the features. But I'm not a heavy phone user. The other niggle I could mention is the keypad ...... keys a bit small and have to take care. But it is usable just. I'm not abig texter and could imagine that texting could be a pain.
If I'm sending messages I use my PDA with the Lobster as a bluetooth modem. This works well.
Overall very satisfied. But got to sort the A2DP issue.
Lobster now FREE with 12 months FREE Tariff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just seen that the Lobster tv phone is now appearing FREE with 12 months free tariff on virgin.

Hi guys today i decide to buy a hands free for my wing and the problem is the follow..
i went on 2 stores, both of them recommend me to buy the RAZR mini usb hands free witch they say is capable.
however those two shops dont have this handsfree atm so i went to a third one.
the guy on the third store says he dont know if this handsfree is working on my phone but with the recommendations in mind i went and bought it!
now when i plug it in and nothing happens.. may i need a setting? or this handsfree cant work on my phone?
or its a broken one?
thanks in advance!!
??
no one? pleaseee
was a sale DUDE!
Really dissapointed with the cellphone sales man, but just to let u know i had two razr before w/brand new accs and the hands free never work w/my WING. I did use the the one i had on my pass MDA and it worked, ofcourse is the same brand. I think u should rturn it but keep in mind bluetooths for calls or even for music.
Good luck w/the sales man
Now I actually dont have one of these, I just use a Motorola HT820 (Headset) and a Motorola HS820 (Stereo Headphones).... But...
What do you mean it isnt working? Does it connect? Does the Wing see your Headset?
Like when you hold in the Power button on the headset until the light on the headset stays a steady blue, then try to find it using the Bluetooth on your phone.
Well just a few moments ago I took the leap and switched carriers from Verizon to AT&T and as such purchased the new HTC Pure. I can’t wait to test it out. I’m not sure what the true HTC model name is and which phone it corresponds to on this site (I think it might be the next gen Touch Diamond2), but I guess I can worry about that later.
So I was wondering what things can you do with your Titan WITHOUT a carrier. Is it possible to enable the GPS to function (perhaps using something other than GoogleMaps or Bing)? What other uses would you guys suggest, besides paperweight or skipping stone (just kidding - my Titan was the best phone I ever had )?
Thanks to everyone for all their great builds -I'll still be testing them out, when time permits!
Get garmin xt and use it as a gps unit. and then signup for navizon from my signature link and use it as a logging phone and make some money in the process. This is what I do with my extra phone.
After watching a bunch of Youtube video's, reading a bunch of articles and websites, etc about these adapters, I ordered one that is LTE compatible, and simply adds one more SIM to your phone. The app to change SIMS comes with the adapter as well.
Does anyone have any experience with these here? I'd like to hear peoples opinions and reactions to them, good or bad.
The reason I want one:
T-mobile has horrible service in my area, but has WIFI calling and works approximately 1/8 of the places I frequent.
AT&T is my Main carrier, as they have the best GSM service in my area, none of which are available where I live. Verizon is the only carrier that I can get at my house and I refuse to use them.
So, because I currently have a T-mobile Prepaid and AT&T Prepaid accounts active on two phones, I would like to use them both on my Note 3, primarily because my Note 3 has WIFI calling (HyperDrive T-Mobile ROM).
My plan is to use AT&T 95% of the time, but while home, switch to TMO and WIFI calling and forward my AT&T number to it. Sounds pretty in depth, but one phone is for work, the other is mine and I have to have them both anyhow. I mine as well make the best of it and not carry two phones as well. This way I can also USE my phone while home, because if you have ever used WIFI calling from TMO, you know it rocks
Thank you
Would like to know about this as well.
Also curious if it could be squeezed into a ZeroLemon battery case or not.

By looking at the picture on amazon, I'd say that it looks like it will. It's being shipped from china, so when it gets here, I'll post the dimensions and install it with my ZL case/battery and let you know.
OK so I received this today. I immediately installed it, which was easy enough. You simply slide this adapter under your simcard while pushing it into your phones SIM slot.
My biggest concern was if it would work with LTE service, since most I found on line would not guarantee. Well, it works with LTE on AT&T and TMO just fine for me. When you install this adapter and boot up, the adapter installs an apk called SimTools.
This is the app that allows you to switch SIMs and it works well also, but I have noticed that for it to work perfect, you need to reboot after each switch or it will not update operator info. I need to test this more to be sure though. It also has a feature called Auto S/W which seems to be a auto SIM switching feature. This came with no information to read into, so I'm not sure and need to run some tests to figure it out. So far, it serves the exact purpose I needed it to, and cost less than $10 shipped. I would say that its a win/win situation. I need to run some real world tests on this and when I do, I will update the thread. For now, if you need simple, basic Dual SIM support, this is what you're looking for.
I'll add that I'm running CyanogenMOD 11 on a Note3 and have not tested this on a Samsung Touchwiz device. I have seen some complaints that the apk bundled with these adapters may have issues on some phones/versions of Android. Some research is suggested before purchasing, but its cheap enough to try anyway.
Good luck
Edit: This fits fine under the backplate of a Note3 using a stock battery and Qi adapter for wireless charging OR when using an extended battery like ZeroLemon because it has a long ribbon cable that can be folded around corners. I tested it with the ZeroLemon battery/case and it works fine.

Hi Ed and thanks for posting your experience with this dual SIM adapter. Can you tell me if it's still holding up? I want to get one of them.
Thanks,

I think we already spoke via pm, but yes it's holding up very well. Very good purchase.
Hello everybody,
I am currently using a chinese android waterproof gps on my motorbike.
It is working, but sometimes when I drive the informations arrive too late (5 seconds, enough to take a wrong way in town and city).
I tried different gps apps but I realized that the problem is because of the internal antenna that is a normal GPS antenna and it is not a Glonass one, like in my smartphones or my android head unit in my car.
So I'd like to know how I can identify the internal antenna once I open the item so I can change it buying a Glonass supported antenna.
Unfortunatelly I cannot ask to the seller because I am still mad at her, she cheated on taxes and I had to pay more than expected.
Anyway if somebody can help me...
This is the item https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fod...of-GPS-Traker-WIFI-Bluetooth/32894530193.html but from a different company.
Still thanks to whoever will help me.
Nicola
ok, I've updated the antenna installing a glonass one "ANT1590-1840H" but I have the same results, infact it can only see the normal GPS.
Any suggestions?
