Hey all....
I recently change the language of my X01ht from Japanese to English.
Unfortunately i dont seem to be able to type Japanese anymore.
I can see it and read it, but not type it myself.
also, i seem to have problems with my Radio. after the device enters standby,
and i turn it back on, i cannot reactivate the phone. i have to soft reset before i can turn the phone on, using the comm manager.
this is not my first upgrade of a HTC phone, but certainly the most exciting
i hope someone knows what i did wrong.
Also, is it still possible to bake my own roms for the HERMES???
Sorry I can't help with the japanese input... but for the other questions:

This is very weird, which radio version are you running?
As you said you changed your phone from Japanese to English I assume you already have bootloader 1.04, then you can try to flash an extracted radio rom to see if it fixes the problems.

Unfortunately not yet, the hermes upgrades use NBH format instead of the NBF you have probably seen in older HTC devices.
The available shipped ROM upgrades contain all the rom parts in one single NBH file (IPL, SPL, MainSplash, SubSplash, GSM, ExtROM, and OS), this file is signed with an HTC private key, and checked against a certificate stored on the phone before it is actually flashed, so if you cook your own ROM in a NBH file you get an "invalid cert" error from the bootloader when trying to flash it.
Some of us have started researching how to hot-patch the SPL in RAM to allow flashing self-signed code, but it is still too early to have results.

if you are not a japanese speaker, read this. it is easier, but not typical.

if you are a japanese speaker, read this. it is a typical way to implement japanese functionality with a non-japanese wm5.0 device using atok.

thanks for your replies.
Im running Radio Stack version 1.07.03.10. I just realized that i cannot send emails via my Gmail account under Flexmail2007. If i connect to a WLAN everything seems fine. But using 3G, i cannot send anything. Internet and receiving works fine though.
Also, once i use my hermes for a while (surfing internet via 3G), the back of it gets quiet warm.
I guess around 38-40 degrees celcius.
@qtotter
thanks alot, mate. That really helps.
i seem to have a few problems with this device. i didnt have a HTC for a while, mainly because i moved to Japan and my phones didnt work there.
Now i seem to be a bit behind.

This is a configuration problem, check the 3G and proxy settings with your provider, this has nothing to do with the radio stack, you won't fix it by upgrading it.

i can send email via gmail with pocket outlook, and so does a friend of mine... i guess it's your setting in the email client as pof says.
also, my x01ht gets warm, too, when it's connected to the internet via 3gpp.
Thanks guys...im gonna do a hard reset tomorrow and built it all up again.
right now its all kinda messy.
I have over 5000 programs and games for PPC and i wanted to see what still runs, so i have alot of dead folders and probably some unnecessary registry entries.
I also might change from Flexmail back to PO or something else.

over 5000 programs... if you use one program a day, it would take more than 13 years to try them all.

Thats certainly true...thats why i usually use only the ones that are interesting to me. but thats still alot...but since alot of the are a few years old now, i am reluctant to try them. i already had some problems with some software under WM5.
I installed the Japanese input...this language bar thing. But its really annoying. It opens 1 more bar every time i start a program/game.
it is also making itself very present. even if im in camera mode, when its in the
background, i can still move it. During games i have to move with the stylus, i will always pickup that little bar....very annoying...

i am not sure what the little bar you mentioned is. i guess you tried the method for non-japanese speakers?
i have never tried any input methods other than atok 4 ppc. if you do not mind spending a couple of thousand yen for japanese input, i would recommend you buy it. but it does not officially wm5, and you need a little tweaking...

if you have installed a japanese font and tweaked registry to read japanese, you can try ComPOBox (Otsu).
http://omaemona.sakura.ne.jp/lib/pobox/123/ComPOBoxQVGA.zip
the documents attached are all in japanese, but you might be able to find some english documents about this software on the internet.

How to avoid the unwanted appearance of the IME floater
1. Download, unzip and copy GWinter's KbdSwitch to Program Files. http://www.geocities.com/grieg_winte...are/index.html
2. Run KbdSwitch and set to Japanese IME.
3. Soft-reboot.
4. As soon the Pocket PC starts up again, the IME should be in Japanese. Sometimes, it is not and so you may need to reset KbdSwitch to Japanese IME and restart a few times.
5. Run any application that may use the Japanese IME, i.e. dictionary and wordprocessor.
6. Switch back to English IME (COMP IME).
NB: The floater should only appear only in applications that you started with Japanese IME on. Also, remember that the "X" in the upper right corner of the windows is actually a "minimize" function.

if you get rid of the software totally, why don't you uninstall it???

Hello,
Please, I tried this but couldn't make it work properly ... maybe I couldn't understand ... can you explain it better?
Anyway, Is there any way (even paying) to make the Japanese input work in a proper way, just like when you have the device in Japanese (always without the floating bar)??
First off let me say GREAT JOB by DCD and Co... I'm a former 6700 user (used to mod over at PPC6700users) and just recently upgraded to the Mogul... I'm new to the whole kitchen thing and with ease was able to use the new kitchen 2.3.0... Again, thanks to DCD and all other who contributed... I cannot begin to express how much we all appreciate the hard work and support you guys provide us...
Now to the question:
As mentined earlier, I have recently updated to 2.3.0 and as well updated the radio to 3.27.00... For some reason I am not able to get a lock with GPS... Can any one assist...?
I'm not sure if I missed something somewhere (the search feature in this forum is not the greatest). I have searched high and low with no luck...
Thanks in advance...
1st time take long time, u need to leave it outside running for 30 minutes and connect using GPS Immediate Driver.
Also, try making a couple of calls from your Mogul and let it connect to the call for a couple of minutes. Mine wouldn't get a lock until I made a phone call. Maybe, it needs to register your location thru whatever cell site it connects thru. Although, that's just my own opinion, not really sure, but after I made a few calls, Google maps found me in less than a minute.

I didn't know it would take that long... I had read previous post where people said it connected within a minute but sure enough I set it by the window went and had dinner and there they were, 4 pretty little satelites waiting for me when I checked...
I guess I was too impatient... ;O)
Thanks to both for the advise... Let me learn my way around this mogul and who know's, maybe one day I can return the favor...

You can always warm up the GPS with software.
GPSLAUNCHER is to warm up the GPS to work with Tom Tom. This application launches Tom Tom after it warms up the GPS.
Just extract and copy to your device -- \windows\start menu\programs
GPSVIEWER1.5 is for other applications such as google maps and so on.
This one is installed through your computer ( I believe )
If you need assistance feel free to ask.
Excellent... I'll give it a try...
Does 2.3.0 have aPGS enabled by default?
If not, go to HLKM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS
Set GPSMode to 4
Also, I would find and install QuickGPS.
Give that a shot and see if it speeds up your locks
Got GPS Working on VZW XV6800
I followed all the instructions:
Installed latest Unlocker (Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe)
Installed latest Radio (Titan_Radio_3.27.00.exe )
Install DCD 2.3.1 (downloaded from this link): Size=37.16Mb
http://www.fileshex.com/download.php?file=1426af0da72a82fe758300e3980f7520
Got everything up and running. (Following directions from XDA forums)
Couldn't make a phone call. Send an SMS, or search the net on IE.
Figured out I needed to call Verizon for an A-key. (Authentication Key)
She asked why i needed it and I told her "i am doing some Windows Mobile sftware developing and had to do multiple HARD resets throughout the day). She said no prob and talked me through the A-key entry using ##778(I think its that. dont worry, CS will talk you through without hesitation.
Anyway. make sure you write the A-key down when customer service gives it to you cause its suppose to be the one assigned to your Phone number and should work every time you need to enter it. If it doesn't then just call them back and give them the same story and they will give you another A-key.
that fixed the data connection problem.
BTW: upgrading the Software deleted my Data connection password and user name.
Password is (Your 10 digit [email protected]) password is (VZW).
NOW, i am back to working conditions and DCD 2.3.1 is awesome.
Love the Iphone style SMS conversation format. Lets you view each conversation you have with a person in a straight separate list of texts. no more need to hop back and forth between Sent Box and Inbox to decipher conversations.
SO, everything works EXCEPT GPS. had all the settings right. like Location ON in Setting, Phone, Services Tab, Click on Location Settings, Get Settings, select "Location ON". Had Com 5 selected on software in external GPS settings. Hardware set to "None" 4800 Baud. Still nothing.
Google Maps keeps showing that its searching for satellites but to no avail.
Finally, came across a post about a free program called "GPS Today" Looked cool so gave it a shot.
Sure as **** it worked immediately. Got 5 satellites connected and there was the little blue dot on top of my house!!! YEEE HAAA
After a little trial and error i figured out the program.
Still i wanted Google Maps to work with GPS.
BA BA BA BAAAAAAA! I turned on Google Maps and all of a sudden it picked up 5 satellites and I was up and running.
Bottom line, I think GPS Today did something and it got Google Maps to start using GPS.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PUT UP AWESOME POSTS.
I think I might be retarded...
I did everything I think I was supposed to do, I unlocked, flashed the radio, then flashed DCD's ROM...
My screen says:
ROM Version dcd2.3.1
Radio Version 3.27.00
but, I can't get the GPS to work with TomTom6...
I tried using the GPSLauncher, AstroGPSLauncher, and QuickGPS...
Any ideas?

It will answer all your questions about GPS with Tom Tom
Everything seems to be in order now... Thanks everyone for all the advise... Now I'm going to play around and find an app that I like... I've tried TomTom (don't like it)... GoogleMaps is very basic but to be honest I'm looking for something a bit basic but functional as well which gMaps is not that functional as a GPS software plus it downloads from the net which seems to be a bit laggy... I'll find something but suggestions are welcome too...
Thanks again everyone...

When asking for help, would it be helpful to let others know what you are looking for in a GPS software? Basic but functional isn't a very good description.
TomTom6 paired with AstroGPSLauncher is a great combination. I don't have to start GMaps or other program to get the GPS going, I have GPS that doesn't have to have a data connection, for when I'm in the U.P. and there is no signal.
GoogleMaps is Basic in the sense that it is a 2D Map, which I like for use on the phone... Let's face it, this phone has a lot going on in the background besides just the GPS and Map app which to me makes it a bit slow and less responsive than normal when trying to process the graphical 3D maps... I don't need 3D mapping, virtual views or anything like that... A 2D Map is perfect... but GooleMaps lacks TTS, a decent search engine, Route recalculation, etc... which are characteristics of a good GPS unit... I like MioMaps for the fact that you can change your means of trasportation from car to bus to taxi to bike to pedestrian, etc, etc, etc... These types of options make more sence to me on a mobile device such as our phones since we could be traveling and need to switch from one means to another...
I'm going to look into MioMaps and see... but in the mean time, if anyone has other suggestions or experience with MioMaps on the Titan, your input would be greatly valued...
Keep on cookin'...

Hey... I think I remember you as "davidew98" on PPC6700users... am I right? We had all kinds of fun trying to dissect the 6700 through QPST... still have the thread bookmarked in Firefox.
I'll throw in a plug for Odyssey Mobile (http://www.infogation.com) as a navigation program that I really like. It came bundled with my Holux GPSlim 236 BT unit that I bought after I gave up on getting internal GPS to work with the 6700. The only thing it's missing that the others like TomTom have is text-to-speech... it doesn't say "Turn right on Main Street" but instead just says "Turn right in 200 feet". Other than that it does everything else really well.
And, I have had zero problems with it working with the 6800's internal GPS... just point Odyssey at COM port 4 and it just works... no launcher or "priming" required.

Yes, Many, many people had this issue and asked the same question. Have you read ANY of the AP4 threads?
It seems based on what I read, that if you uncheck/remove the HTC home screen form the today screen you may get it to work. Not sure as I don't use IGO, if that doesn't work check the various AP4 threads or search the threads
Good Luck!
Agreed I found that disabling the HTC Home plugin allowed iGO8 to run; others have found it necessary to disable Touchflo as well.
I assume you have a legitimate version? The cracked versions can be much more troublesome

It's not warez mister Legally Advisor. I assume that you have no demo on your computers / pda . You paid for everything that you are using , and did not remove the commercials from the free items like YM etc.
In this real world , sometimes you have to get first something , see if is working , then when the trial is done , you decide to buy or not to buy. I do not want to put 100 Pounds in something before I see it working.
But I am sure that you are some ASDA customer and you got the PDA from your employer so this problems are not common to you. Please keep away from the posts that are not for you. This is not a food thought forum. Thanks

Your exact words were 'Is not a legitimate copy'. Therefore you are using warez. The demo version is legitimate.

I couldnt get australian maps till recently and following above instructions with "evaluation"version of Igo8 am running it on ap4 without htc home.
I like it better than Igo2006se as reattaching the keyboard doesnt stuff up the controls.
Also I can change the orientation of the screeen and Igo remains in landscape whereas Igo2006 would again stuff up.

Funny that you're getting so angry if your software is legal...."is not a legitimate copy" were your words.
If warez are condoned on this site, it will eventually have problems. and then we all lose out. Go reflect on that and try not to be quite so sanctimonious next time.

An intersting scenario I found when on holiday in Slovenia this week- in a quiet moment, I installed the Manila Dialler (I'd never tried it before!); I then forgot I'd done it.
I then needed SatNav in a hurry due to some roadwords and lack of road signs- could I get iGO8 to start? No Soft reset, tried disabling all Today Items, disabling VuFlo- still nothing. Gave up.
Got back to hotel and decided to look in ' Remove Programs' then remembered the Manila Dialler. Removed it, and iGO worked again
So, iGO8 in AP4 doesn't like Manila, or HTC Home, but for me is OK with VuFlo active.
Just kidding, does anyone have one of these crazy things?
it should be more than possible to make this thing run full WM rather than just smartphone edition.

To make it worse? No, thanks.
But you might be able to upgrade your Raphael with Windows Mobile Standard ;-)

WTF Is it not touch screen? who will want this?!? lol
I DO!
since about 4 weeks
So would I. And I own a Raphael! Anybody wanna trade ? lol
Not at all. S740 is just so amazing. I am quite surprised so few people actually own it.
3G support for US possible?
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows if it would be possible to make a version that adds the 850MHz band for HSDPA? Maybe someone is already working on this? I do not know if the restriction to 900/2100MHz is due to its hardware design. I searched the site but seem to find contradicting info on this.
I own a Fuze, which is nice and fast on 3G but after having used the S710 and S730 I very much prefer one-hand navigation for everything else. The only thing keeping me from buying the S740 is that I want fast Internet access.
Thank you in advance for any info on this.
I think that limitation is hardware-based and therefor cannot be just "added"
HTC might work on US version of S740 but I have heard no rumors about such thing.
Guys I own one since a 3 weeks now and I acompletely in LOVE...
It is a "She" definitely (Rose)
I own one since 1 week and I m quite happy with it. Just a few things could be improved:
- Battery, mine last ~24hrs with a normal usage, HSDPA on, Btooth off, wlan off, Skype and MSN running and mail check every 10 min. But If I m in an area where HDSPA is always available (like... HOME) the battery last a lot less.
- Mine numeric keypad does a noisy noise.... like if there was sand behind the keys.
- Meteo doesn't work with other cities ( I tried everything... )
- I can t find a decent Navigation (GPS) software and a browser that actually work with the browser game oGame (I tried explorer, opera mini, opera mobile)

MSN, Skype and periodical e-mail checking produce quite some traffic and require a few CPU cycles, too. Both of these factors are quite good battery consumers.

Mine definitely doesn't. I would consider returning/replacing your unit as it might be faulty.

Do you mean HTC weather on the homescreen? And what exactly do you mean? Are you unable to select different city than default or unable to synchronize data for different city?

Try Sygic McGuider - I use it and I think it's excellent. Very fast, intuitive, good maps coverage and handles screen rotation.
Thank you for you answer!

I will try and compare it with another unit in the store. Thank you.
The keys work properly, the only problem is this little noise.

Yes, I mean HTC weather, the problem is that I cannot add other cities (present on accuweather). There are a few tricks for other HTC devices but they don t seem to work. (The cities can be easily added but the device is unable to download the data from accuweather)

Then I don't know. I never needed to add aditional cities to HTC weather default list.

Hmm, I like my smartphones. (S710/S730/S740) Easy one Finger Navigation, you must not toogle between fingertips and Keyboards and much faster.
The most of our female Users like much more Smartphone Edition, is much easier to use for standard things.
And the today "New Email" Plugin is much better:
It shows "all" incoming Emails, also the Emails that are automaticly routed via Exchange Rules to Subfolders. With a "normal" PDA you see only New Emails that comes into your Inbox, with S740 you see all "New" Emails that are automaticly moved to Subfolders into the Today screen. That´s really the "best of" of the S740
I Wonder, why not Touch HD, Touch Pro, Diamond has this feature??
;-)

can you tell me how to install the manilla 2d on my rose?? Because i'm a noob in this things on phone's
Hopefully you can help me... thnks
I hate touch
I hate touch screens, this is the ideal device.
i wish it was a big thinner, but frankly I am so please that HTC, Samsung, Nokia (s60v3) and others continue to manufacture non-touch devices.
They are so much faster to use, less input error, and no constant cleaning of screen!
yes that´s right. I use sometimes Nokia E66/E71 with Symbian OS, for quick & Dirty use on the road, that´s really fine, only the Nokias Mail for Exchange (MfE) Application is not so good like the one of S740. When this has same charakter sometimes, I will switch completly to Nokia´s symbian OS. ;-)
Hi guys!
my first thread!
i have bought an htc hero ! i saw the digital compass feature in the GSMarena's hero's page ! now i dont see any digital compass in the All programs menu!
I thought that it is like Iphone! but now i see we must install a third party software! how can i use this feature? even does it have any digital compass module
please show me a software! not from the ando market! a direct link plz if u can!
buss buss!

Just wondered why you think someone else would do the leg work for you to find a compass APK, when they can be downloaded from the market? Here's a hint - use Google!
Regards,
Dave
As said, use market to get a compass app. Search for 'Analog Compass' for example (or just 'compass' for all).
That's the one I'm using and think is quite nice.

i like "marine compass", shows off the combination of g-sensors and compass
GPS Status also shows the compass.
gackaass, if you don't have the Android market in your country, have a look at slideme.org and andappstore.com. You can also search the Android market on cyrket.com or androlib.com and then try to find an apk from the results there.
tanx for u all
but i forgot to say i can not connect to internet by phone !(ad-hoc problem you know) my carrier is rubbish in internet service as well....
so no market access !
please upload any best u know ! i will pay for it :d
tank u elmicha! i am searching!

androlib and cyrket (once it works again) are "only" frontends to the market. You could try and use a Google search for the program names that you can find there.
Or use the Website link and see whether the authors have an apk on their site.
http://code.google.com/p/android-ac/ and http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/ showed up on the first three pages of results for "compass".
Or use slideme (once it's working again) and andappstore. Andappstore has a direct link to a "GPS status" apk.
Yes, that's not very comfortable, and it's a pity that Android cannot use Ad-hoc mode without rooting and some additional work.
You could vote for http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82 by logging in and clicking on the little star.
Maybe it's easier to convince your PC to act like an Access Point, e.g. with http://connectify.me/ or something like http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2...ain-USB-Adapter-Versatile-Station-AP-Mode.htm.
tank u for ur attention !
i am new in android! and i dont no more about rooting!
would u plz tell me more about rooting!
and what is the advantage of rooting ! what can i do after rooting! does it have risk?
tanx
Sorry, I don't know much about rooting, you have to google that on your own (or look around here in this forum, there are even stickies for it). There is a risk of bricking the phone and also you might lose the warranty. If you don't feel confident to do it on your own and understand the risks, don't do it.
One point I forgot in my previous reply: your (our) Hero was rather expensive, maybe it wouldn't hurt to buy an inexpensive WiFi router or access point. It's the easiest way to solve this problem. At the moment you only want a compass app, but there are a lot more apps that you might find useful in the future, and I wouldn't want to hunt them down one by one like you do at the moment.
