Hello I live in Europe...and a friend is going to give me an htc s743 from USA...and i wonder if it is going to work 100% here in europe. Because i know that there are some differences at the frequency (hz) of the 3G or something.. I dont know what exactly is it...if someone can inform me it would be so nice
Also i know that the s743 has no FM radio...is there any way i can enable it?
thank you
I really want to know a way to enable the FM radio.I was told that my 3G will work only on GPRS but anyway...At leat i want to enable my radio...anyone any idea?
S743 does not support european 3G. It doesn;t have FM radio module. Read/search before posting, as answers are so close:

Nowhere I said the FM module HW isn't present in s743. With high probability is still there, just disabled. At least for HTC it's much cheaper as development of extra "disabled" chipset.
Look at Rhodium. The FM radio isn't officially supported by any version od ROM, but it's there and fully functional.

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?
PLEASE STICKY THIS!
The purpose of this thread is to consolidate all software, roms, and information on the HTC Touch Dual Neon400.
The Neon400 was released as the CDMA version of the Touch Dual in Canada to Bell and Telus exclusively thus far. At this point in time this exact model is ONLY available in canada to Telus Mobility and Bell Mobility clients.
The Neon400 sports some MAJOR changes to previous Neons and the Niki. Inside it actually has more in common with the HTC Touch Diamond than a traditional Touch Dual (Nike). The specs are as follows:
Qualcomm MSM7501A 528mhz Processor (Same as Diamond)
ROM-capacity: 256 MiB (Same as traditional Nikes)
RAM-capacity: 160 MiB (Higher than Nike, Lower than Diamond)
Full GPS Capability
Same GPU / Graphics capability as Diamond (Altho no 3d interface software provided)
Rumored to have Wifi (neither provider has the drivers/wifi enabled if that is the case).
Both Telus and Bell ship the phone with WM 6.1 Pro as an OS.
Because of the limited availablity of the Neon400, and the vastly different specs, and the fact that it has only been available since Sept. 2008. There is next to none (I have yet to find any) software or rom flashes/upgrades available.
This thread serves as a place for the few of us who have Neon400's to test out new ideas, share modding experiences, give, and receive advice.
Few of my questions right off the top:
Will the previously established methods for unlocking Nike's work for this model? (anyone yet tested?)
Are there any TESTED and COMPATIBLE Roms that work on the Neon400 thus far?
Is anyone currently working on the above projects?
Thank you and Welcome Neon400 users! Lets take advantage of the extra horse power in our HTC Nike's and get things rolling!
instead of neon400, how about all neons? i have the neon300, all pretty much the same (of what you can install on it)
I just got my Neon400 a couple weeks back.
Hopefully we can get some ROM's going for this....the battery life is killin' me!

They already have roms for the Neon
I'm trying to post more in these forums to show support for this phone. The other Neon ROMs may work for this phone, but nobody knows because we can't unlock the damn thing.
Is there any info on how to develop HardSPLs for phones?
i two just bought a Telus Neon400 and i found that yes it is vary buggy like when i finish a call it like freezes for a bit then its fine
it lags alot eats up mad batterie life i just want to be able to unlock it and install anew rom something that has far less bugs in it ,we need more sopport

Always use the top search option to find answers : ) Very easy. This is for the Neon
Unfortunately this method doesn't work for the Neon 400. I should know, I tried. The screen turns black and you need the reset the phone.
So,no, the top search option doesn't work here.
yep i bid we should set upsomething like payment for someone who makes a hacked spl for this phone im willing to pay im sick of the bugs i really liked the touch so much sopport but for this one nothing there has to be someone out there that casn do this

You would think it would have to be somebody who has access to the phone. Since nobody else but Canadians can use it, I don't think there's much hope that any of the regular SPL writers would be able to do it.
I hope I'm wrong though. I've tried to PM Olipro asking for help, but to no avail.
We're seeking into this issue. If anyone got an original (shipped) rom for neon400, let me know.

I was able to extract the .raw files from my Telus "Neon", using the Kaiser tutorials, if this helps? I didn't know what to do beyond that...

I'm unsure if one exists. At least, I can't find one on any of the sites (bell.ca, telus.com, pdcphones.com, htc.come etc). I also heard from the Telus salesman that the phone is being discontinued. That's bad for updates. I don't know about Bell.
need HARDspl
if there is one its for the jap version of the neon400 dont know what good that would do
and as for updates htc site would have them if telus would not right it only makes sence
is there a way to extract the rom off my phone ?
neon 400's are also available in Gsm quad band not just cdma.
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630661
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

how can i install the GPS & Wifi drivers

Well but dell haven.t release the radio driver so no one can make the fm radio works… it.ll be great if one day we can listen to radio on the streak XD
FM RADIO does work you have to turn on bluetooth, plug headset and launch the fm app... works perfect for me.
What app are you talking about here, could you please share the link of the apk
For the uninitiated, what does hacking the radio actually accomplish or allow? Is it just for FM radio stations, or are we talking about the cellular radio the phone uses to communicate with towers? Can it be reverse-engineered to change the frequencies the phone uses, for example to shoehorn 3g connectivity with another network?
this is a guide for teaching the basics of reverse engineering android, it uses the evo radio as an example.
Why are you all getting so hung up on the streak radio?
How about read the article and learn something maybe?
Yah, the tutorial is just a guide to how you can reverse engineer any Android application... and it just happens to use the radio app as a real world example of doing so. I really like the style of tutorial this person chose, IMO it's the best way to guide someone through how to do something like this.
Hi, i hope this question wasnt asked before, but i searched and i couldnt find such a question on this forum, but can someone tell me how should i set spiritfm to make it work for this device, cause i really like that radio app on other android phones and just cant get the right setings for this one, and i hope im not asking about something that is impossible, thanks in advance.
Only certain RHOD's have the FM modulator chip (I believe all GSM models, which you have a 100)
Because of this, I don't believe anyone has enabled the path for the FM modulator to even function/route audio. So I don't think it'll work without some kernel trickery. Good luck.
aah, thanks for the info, i was really hoping, cause omgb has a fm radio app that doesent work for me, and i was hoping i can get fm to work

Yes... if you note, the head/pretty much only developer on OMGB for the TP2 is/was using a CDMA RHOD .
