I'm starting this thread to research the hidden possibilities in the HTC Touch Dual (nike). Alot of questions have been asked about wifi capabilities in the dual and how they may be there just locked by the manufacturer. I hope this thread will help us answer wether further capability is unlockable via roms, cabs, drivers, or registry changes.
In an article about the upcoming WM6.1 I found these interesting finds.

"Qualcomm see the decreasing cost of the smartphone spurring growth in adoption of these devices. Steve talked about the Qualcomm/Microsoft collaboration effort and the MSM 7xxx series of chipsets we see in today’s latest and greatest devices. These chipsets include GPS, media, applications processors and more in a single, low battery consumption configuration. There are several variants of their chips in mobile devices today with some having everything inside and some having limitations desired by the manufacturer or carrier for various reasons (cost, size of the device, targeted market, etc)."
The HTC Touch Cruise (polaris) has GPS & Wifi with the Qualcomm® MSM 7200, 400MHz processor - The same processor the HTC Touch Dual (nike) has. There would be no reason to use additional hardware in the Polaris if the processor provides this capability.
already posted at other thread that when someone installs the various cabs that people are trying, when we go to wlan settings mac adress doesn't appear.
Usualy appears even when wifi is off.
Regarding gps i tried using google maps to see if detects something but the only com port that kinda works is com 7 but it turns bluetooth on, so it must be a bluetooth port...
Here you have a link for the japanese version that will be available in january.
NO GPS, but has WIFI and FM RADIO.
wouldn't mind having fm radio on my nike!!!!

There's neither WiFi nor FM radio in the japanese version. PDAdb.net is just wrong (as many times before).

hmmm thank's for the reply...

<sigh> pearl white....
And what are they talking about FM? Someone speaking Japanese?
if you tranlate the page you can see the word FM appearing...

IT HAS FM RADIO
Chainfire:
Just wondering if you could post a RegDump (possibly directory/file listing) of your Kaiser?
I think we are still missing some registry entires.
One such entrie:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
"DeviceName"="{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511"
If I know how to extract files from Rom's I'd probably stand a better chance at all this.
Wifi -> theres already a lot of discussion on another thread
this thread has been dealing with wifi hidden capacities (or not)

It does indeed seem to have an FM radio. It doesn't change much, though (hardware-wise at least, as you would have to use the headset as an antenna).
My point is, don't trust blindly on PDAdb.net. You can find many errors if look around in there (though most of it seems to be right).

Heh you are right, I did miss that one. Can't make a complete listing right now but I can send you a comparison between the two devices I made yesterday.. In these files 'M' stands for missing and 'D' stands for different... If you send me back two files with only the lines of the files and registry entries you want I can make it into a patch by pressing a button...
I'll try sending you a full listing and dump (instead of the compare files from yesterday) later today.

Hi, thanks for that, it would seem that there are quite a few registry keys missing, I've only searched for GPS keys so far, the main ones needed for interfacing with the GPS driver seem to be missing.
But even after going though and making my own registry file, GPS still does not work, nothing appears on com 4.

yep think its comm 7 on the dual
I think registry keys and DLLs won't help in this case. The MSM7200 GPS function should be enabled by a low level hardware driver that is probably loaded after reset before the OS comes on. Then the OS either sees the GPS port or not. An expert's help is thus needed in this case.
As for WIFI, someone mentioned the lack of MAC address for the WIFI. Again - this is a HW issue as the MAC address is coded in ROM (unerasable part of the FLASH) just like IMEI. And if it is not there to begin with... hmmm...
But we can certainly look for one if we have access to the ROM code - it is a 6-digit number that should begin with 00h 18h 41h. If we correlate a few devices that have this string in the same location than maybe there is something to it (WiFi included).
I was trying GPS test, it scanned all com ports, it did halt on Com7, but now it just skips it.
I think a hard reset and start again is in order.

That web page also indicates that GSM850 is supported. For a USA user, that would be the most important thing of all. There has been some speculation that the phone can support GSM850 now. Perhpas the Japanese ROM will turn it on.
I have an htc s640 (iris 100) has the exact same specs as the HTC Touch and my wifi is enabled. i know it has GPS but its disabled. if you need anything from my registry id be happy to help. only difference between these phones that i can tell is the touch screen. rest of the specs seem to be the same.

That phone has a Qualcomm MSM7500 chip, the Dual has a Qualcomm MSM7200 chip.
I am experiencing a problem with the speakerphone. The buzzing noise that is known to happen on GSM devises when u r close to speakers, TV's, radios etc is happening when I turn on the speakerphone. Is this a known problem for GSM TP2 devices running android? Is there a fix or will I just have to deal with it till it gets worked out?
EDIT
I have done some testing and lots of reading. Its seems that the "GSM BUZZ" only happens on the 2G network. I will explain exactly what I am experiencing, when I am on the phone if I turn on the speakerphone the speaker starts buzzing, also if I am on the phone and recieve an alert/notification or press a button the same buzz comes through the speaker and to stop it I have to turn the speakerphone on then off. This is a real problem and it is happening on both GSM devices I have access to. I need people with GSM devices to do test so we can see if this is happening on all GSM devices. All I need is for u to make a call with 3G turned off or if u do not have 3G access simply turn the speakerphone on and report what happens. Also make a call and press a key, I belive that if keytones are enabled the buzz will happen and if not it will be buzz free. Somehow sounds are turning on the speaker while on the phone. Lets get this fixed!
You have a giant WinMo6.5 logo in your sig... Why don't you stick to WinMo?
Does it happen in WinMo? I don't have any speakerphone issues, but I'm on CDMA.
I asked for help not a smartass comment. stop being condescending towards people just cause u have a little knowledge. if all ur gonna do is talk down to others than y even post anything? u can go ahead and come back with another post trying to put me down but all it will do is make me laugh. please do not post unless u are willing to help me understand my problem. I know u think ur routine of accusing people off not reading before posting makes u feel like a man but to other u come of as a douche bag.
Now to answer ur question, CDMA devices so not genrerate the buzz through TVs and speakers that GSM devices do. My question was asking y the known buzz comes through the speakerphone. its almost like android thinks the speaketphone is part of another device.
now ur other question, I don't stick to WM for the same reason everyone else doesn't, my device allows me to do things like boot android and Ubuntu so I have the freedom to choose my OS.

You obviously do not what you're talking about.
Plus, I asked a simple question and you failed to answer it in your long drawn out whining post. Meh.
FYI, CDMA devices produce a similar noise in other devices, not sure why you think that's isolated to GSM. iDEN does the same thing - perhaps the frequency is different, never really looked into it.
Your sig just makes me think you prefer WinMo, and kinda makes me giggle as it is comically large.
Well, I've got a bit of the same problem. But it only occurs when I'm either ending the call or when i have to touch the touchscreen during the call. Then it just goes haywire and give the bzzzz noise..

i do know what i am talkin about. its called "THE GSM BUZZ" cause it happens on gsm devices.
i am so sorry i did not get ur approval before postin my sig. u remind me of one of those kids that feel bad about ther self so they try to insult other to make themselves feel better. u picked the wrong one. i ain't puttin up with ur ****. u may get a pass from other cause u helped a few people but u r constantly being rude to anyone that ask a simple question. ur way is not always right.
i asked for help not for comments on my sig or to be told to stick with a certain OS. this is America and i can like two things at once. yes i love WM but if i wanna use android on my device i will and do not need u to make up my mind for me. if u wanna help me get to the bottom of this buzzing noise fix this problem then cool but i do not need ur condecending remarks.

Actually, I'd be shocked if a CDMA device actually caused the "GSM buzz" in other devices - Interference maybe, but not the distinctive buzz. It's due to differences in the channel access schemes between CDMA (To be specific, ANY form of CDMA, whether it is Qualcomm CDMA2000 or UMTS) and GSM (iDEN is similar to GSM)
CDMA systems a channel access scheme that has all devices transmitting continuously when active, but using special coding so that the receiver at the cell tower is able to "pick out" the individual handset signals. Since the device is transmitting continuously, the RF power envelope is fairly constant.
2G GSM/EDGE (not UMTS), iDEN, and the long obsolete D-AMPS use a different channel access scheme, time division multiple access. Each handset is assigned a time slot (or slots for EDGE) to transmit in. On a given channel, a set of slots is contained within a frame. Each time a phone's assigned spot in a frame comes up, it transmits. The end result is that the RF envelope pulses on for a short period every frame. Many other devices will rectify and filter the RF (unintentionally) resulting in a signal that follows the RF envelope - a low duty cycle square wave with a frequency equal to the frame repetition rate.
I have no clue why a device would cause such interference to itself in only one OS. It's not an issue anyone else has encountered to my knowledge. Original poster has a pretty poor attitude and atrocious grammar that is difficult to read. (People who can't be bothered to type out the word "you" really bother me for some reason...)

but its not just my device. my friend also has a tilt 2 and she lives in another part of the state and her speakerphone makes the same buzing noise on android. its kinda weird cause i have not seen other people askin about this problem. its just a buzzing noise that makes u not wanna use the speakerphone. also it happens if there is alerts while using the phone and then the only way to stop it is to turn the speakerphone on then off. it has to be affecting others too. it could not just be happening on two devices.
I see exactly the same thing on my rhod100 (de).
I also have another problem which existed for a long time: On some occasions, after booting to android, audio is completely gone. I test it by placing a call and checking if there is any in-call audio. Plus, on such an occasion, media files also do not make any sound, and rebooting the phone is the only solution. Enabling speakerphone does not help, even if I hear the mentioned buzzing sound.
I remember seeing something about audmgr_enable and that the arm9 did not respond to an rpc in the logs. I can post them if that happens again.
I think there are a fair number of known issues with the speakerphone.
I haven't bothered to try it myself, the only speakerphones I have ever used with acceptable audio quality are Polycoms.
edited first post.
well... i have the same problem and i've tried all the android variants out there...
finally someone else that has this problem. it is a big problem for me cause it makes the speakerphone unusable. I wish someone with some knowledge would recognize this is a real problem and try to fix it. I think somehow android thinks the speaker is part of another device.
are ALL the users with this problem ONLY experiencing this issue on Android or WinMo as well?

From his description, it seems to only happen in Android.
I talked to stine briefly, and he hasn't tested it - is there a bug open on it? If you really want dev attention to a problem, and there isn't already a bug, file a bug. If there is a bug, post to it and add some logs - there might be something funny going on that's easily spotted.
Also, you haven't done any triage from what I can tell - does this not happen on a certain combination of rootfs, kernel, or system image? If you can recreate a scenario of where it doesn't happen, that'll help narrow it down. If it's always been happening... it'll be more difficult, but also good to know.
One of our top kernel devs has a GSM device, he's never mentioned this issue. If I talk to him today, I'll mention it to him.

it happens no matter what build or combination of parts. it only happens on android anytime the speaker is on and if the speaker isn't on and any kids of alert or noise such as a button press happens the speaker comes on and buzzez till u manually turn the speakerphone on then off. basically the same noise that comes through any audio device when a GSM cell is near is comin through the speaker. i am pretty sure it only happens on 2G cause the "GSM BUZZ" does not happen with a 3G signal. if ur guy test he'll for sure hear it.
I just managed to confirm the issue on a Tilt2 - needed to force 2G.
(I almost never use speakerphone and am almost always in 3G areas so never noticed this before.)
Apparently there are some audio routing patches in the pipeline already that might fix this.

Interesting - did you ONLY change system.ext2 build, or did you also use a different kernel?
had this problem a few times (froyo) but never occurred in my last call.
I think it may have something to do with a data connection before or during the call? There are a few problems originating from data connections. Perhaps it was latest kernel that fixed it for me? Will have to wait and find out.
Hi,
This is a question for all the Devs out there....
I was wondering if it is possible, to somehow change a setting on the phone, to significantly boost reception strength on both the mobile network and a 3G connectivity.
Now i know this would (if possible) come at a significant cost of battery as well... this is fine, as i would only want to use it at my work desk, where i have my phone plugged into a power socket the whole day anyways.
So the signal boosting would have to be a switchable function (if its possible at all) so that when i finish work for the day, i would then be able to switch it back to "normal" and not "boosted"
Its a weird request, and like i said i am not sure if its even possible, but any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I am sure i am not alone in the desire for such a function.
Edit: i found a bit of info in another thread, about a different phone.... but i dont understand it, nor know if it has any relevance to this.

Thanks in advance,
Does anyone have this solution as i require it as well for T-Mobile UK as well
I am running 2.3.4
Thank You
anyone have any idea?
isn't it dependent on the modem being used?
Yeh its very modem file dependant. But i am sure there would be a way to give the signal a boost from changing some system files somewhere inside the phone.
Changing the amount of power required to boost the signal would be a great start, but like i said, i am not a developer, but it would be good if a developer could have a look at this, and see whether it is possible or not.
The 9100T modems have a higher SAR (radiation) value, from what I read or understand is really a function of the power output/transmission. As these are specific modems for the T versions, I'm sure you could boost and fine tune other modems in a similar way. The carrier might have to support it for it to work properly though.
Trade of might be higher battery drain and radiation.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
The modem firmware, where you would have to edit stuff, is a binary, and undocumented. You would have to put it though a hex editor.
Not many people have the knowhow, and those who do know that its a basically imposable task.
ahh ok fair enough.
I figured it would be possible, but wondered why it had never been attempted. If its as stated above, then chances are it most likely wont be figured out or attempted anytime soon.
Thanks for the insight guys, appreciate it all.
Cheers

It involves using wifi to take calls and send texts. Instead of mobile data.
Hi XDA Users
I use my SGS2 for wifi tethering and I wonder if anyone can help/recommend or merely explain why the speeds I get when my laptop is connected to my phone using the in-built wifi tehering tool vary so much (please see attached picture)
Last night for instance I was achieving 1Mbps download speeds while using a torrent client but today I struggle to get 50kps.
Is there an app to show me what speed the phone is connected to my laptop is and in anyway control the settings?
I don't believe the variation of 20kps to 1Mbps( it hit 1.1Mbps at 1 point) can be down to the network directly, meaning traffic etc.
I use a rooted SGS2 with DiLiDroid ICS - UHLPS rom/kernel etc, ( purely for jkay deluxe settings) on the 3UK network with Unlimited/All You Can Eat Data.
Any thoughts, explanations, recommended apps, ANY REPLY frankly will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys, more than once this site has come up trumps for me here's hoping it does again
got a few ideas but it doesnt really matter why just how to fix it, try and use some different combos of wifi tethering. first you need to troubleshoot and find what the actual problem is. try it with usb tethering and see if you have the same problem. if the usb is fine then its a problem with the wifi and not the data connection, so on and so forth. you need to narrow it down until you can provide enough information so people can actually help you.
in situations like this, you havent given much info and you havent (by the looks of things) dont anything yourself to try and narrow down the problem. all youve done is noticed something isnt right and come straight here to get us to do all the work for you. i dont know why thats happening and ill be suprised if anyone can give you a definite answer. there are just so many points of failure in your problems its impossible to say which one it is without you giving way more information and doing 99% of the work to fix this problem yourself.

I don't know how to ''trouble shoot'' my problem, that is why I asked for any sort of help i.e apps that I should use to help identify the problem.
I didn't noticed a problem and come straight on here, I searched google for a good few hours but the results were not connected to my problem, which is also why I asked for tech-minded people to give me advice, I don't know where to begin.
This morning I was getting 500+kps downloads while wifi tethered so I'm certain it is not a data/network issue.
I will try usb tethering BUT I would still like any advice WHATSOEVER from anyone who may read this, cheers
That your data speeds are so variable almost certainly points to perfectly normal network/congestion related issues. This kind of thing is a frequent problem faced by users of mobile networks all over the world.
You do realise the data speeds you'll get at any given moment will be determined by a) the number of people using the cell you're connected to, b) how much traffic your carrier has going in/out of its network to the 'outside world' (and how much backhaul it has) and c) how much traffic the network that the site you're trying to access (or the people assisting you to steal copyrighted material) is experiencing.
These factors will naturally/obviously cause data speeds to fluctuate much more widely on a wireless/mobile connection than they would over a wired connection.
Postfatal is absolutely right re: there's sod all anyone here could tell you to 'fix' the issue. It's basic troubleshooting. Similar steps to what you'd follow if you thought a PC internet connection wasn't up to par. Google is your friend if that kind of thing is beyond you.

I seriously doubt a range of 20kps to 1.1Mbps can be down to traffic on the network, I'm backed up by thinking this because I can download on the phone directly at close to 1Mgps speeds consistently and then tether and get close to no speed at all.
It seems that if I reboot the phone and then leave it for a few minutes before turning wifi tether on it will connect at a higher speed, I would love a way of ''forcing'' the phone to connect at it's highest level available, but I don't know if thats possible or how I would even do a google search on it, what search terms are you suggesting? Everything I try gives unrelated results.

try with some third party 'wifi tethering' apps from store and see if the issue persists with that also

Thanks for the advice, I will try later on but I have a poker tournament starting soon (with expected connection losses as usual to put up with, hopefully not occuring while I have a decent hand lol)

USB Tethering makes no difference to the speed whatsoever, has that narrowed it enough for someone to maybe give me some advice?
Will someone please tell me what tools/apps/pc programs I can use to attempt to identuify the problem myself? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?
The only semi-useful app I've found is UpDownMeter free, but this only tells me lol the up and down speeds, interesting but not of any use.
Come on guys you guys are smarter than me, been there done it etc, help me help dudes
Hello!
Sometimes when I unlock my screen, I hear a sound witch i dont know.
And how often do u hear this sound? I dunno what can it be, sounds like something is in the background. I am unsure, but is resembles like the Alert7 in the sounds... Correct me if I am wrong.
sounds like the NFC chip is interacting with something.. credit cards, or any other form of RFID cards may cause the phone to interact with them when the phone is on (screen on, does not happen when screen is off)
Hmm, i does not hear it often, just once oder twice a month. But when then I hear it a few times. Every time when I unlock the device. But ther is nothing with NFC or RFID next to my smartphone.
Got it this sound appears everytime when it lays on my pocket. Inside of my studentcard seems to be an NFC Chip.
Does anybody how I can read this chip? NFC Manager and NFC Tag Writer does not show anything.
from what I hear, the card has to be NDEF formatted for WP8 phones to be able to read it. I highly doubt the card is NDEF formatted, similar to credit cards etc
Glad the issue has been solved, now I got me some ideas about this Thx 4 the tip about the NFC cards, found my bus ticket, and now its time for some serious research about having a bus drive without paying... I wonder if this can be achieved

I already made it with a copycat app that I made modding one that was on geekchamp . com. It just sends the same bit code from my bus NFC ticket. Althought I made it, I can't deploy that app to everyone unfortunatly because it's breaking some rules from Windows Store... :/ and the coding isn't prepared for more than my type of card (Andante - Porto, Portugal), so... sorry guys :/
No problem, I found out that I cannot do a scam The stuff is pretty technical. I thought to copy a tag from the validator, and back onto the card. However, the validator is a reader-only, so I cannot copy anything. And I need the reader tag on my card in case of controls...
DAMN!
