[Q] Copilot IMEI issue - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone gotten Copilot Live US to work on the G-Tab? I purchased it and it installed fine. But when I try to run it, it gives the error that my IMEI ID is not correct and to restart my tab. I contacted their support and they said that I needed to make sure that I had version 8.2.0.590 installed from the market. I checked and I do. Still giving me the error and suddenly their support has gone silent on this matter.

I had this issue. Loaded a older version and it worked fine. This Weekender I updated to the newest version from market place and it works fine now also. I'm using the version you listed.

Do you happen to remember the version number you loaded that got you working before the market upgrade? Their tech support contacted me today and asked for me to send them a copy of the deviceinfo.xml file so they can see what is going on. I checked the file and there is nothing in the IMEI setting. Waiting to hear back from them tomorrow I guess since their tech support ends at 5PM.

Use this one (it's .504)

Thanks... tried it and it did get past the IMEI error. But it is asking for a Product ID number. I checked my order receipt from the app market and could not find any reference to a product id. All I have is the Google receipt number.

You should get an e-mail from ALK with your ID. My understanding on market purchases is that it basically comes as a 15 Day trial with a generic ID... once you get your ID number you plug that in.
I had purchased Co-Pilot along time ago (for Windows Mobile actually), but the APK works fine with my ID (I had to de-activate my Windows install ... only one device can use the ID at a time.)

For those interested, here is where I get the latest APK's on Co-Pilot:
http://www.alk.eu.com/copilotlive/androidinstall/
This is not cracked, hacked or otherwise stealing. You still have to have a valid Co-Pilot license/ID to use this.

Customer support has been the only one that has sent me any email. They have now escalated the problem to their engineering dept. They say the new version should work on the g-tab. Sent them my config file and the information on the rom that I am using. Also told them that installing the older version allows me to go past the IMEI error but that I have no product id to enter so I guess it's just a waiting game now.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

I ran into a similar problem with copilot (invalid imei) on a g-tab running TnT Lite.
I figured the issue was, the device not being a phone, that it didn't have an imei, so I just got a refund and sent 'em an email asking for g-tab support.
Never heard anything back, but if an upcoming version is going to support the g-tab, that's good news.
FWIW, mapdroyd (free / no navigation mode) and navdroyd (not free but cheap / has nav mode) works just fine on the g-tab. The maps are all vector drawings, so they're pretty small, and, yes, it works offline.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfotunately, by the time I realized that the software would not work, the 15 minute time limit had expired. I've been dealing with thier support and they assure me that their software works on the g-tab. They wanted to know if I was on a modified rom. I told them I was on TnT enhanced which is the stock rom with market access. They said it should work. I've also tried it on every rom I could find and none of them seem to work.
My issue has been "expedited" D which is customer support speak for you'll probably never hear from us again) and was told to "wait for us to reply". I'm going to give them until wednesday to come up with an solution or I will start raising a stink about a refund.
It's a shame that this doesn't work. I have the exact same software on my Magellen 1700 and it is an awsome package.

The .504 version I posted above works just fine with the G-Tab. You DO need a license number from them. I haven't bought from the android market, so I don't know the full logistics of how they get that to you, but once you have that license key, .504 will work just fine (I use it all the time - and all version prior to .504).
Versions after .504 give me the IMEI error, so I just don't use them.

The version you get from the app store doesn't ask for a product code (or at least I haven't made it that far yet.) I installed the version you posted and it got to the part about the product code. I talked to their customer support and told them that I would be happy with that version if they could give me a product code id for it since I had purchased a newer version that did not appear to work. He said since I purchased through the app store and not thier website, he could not give me a product id. Then I asked if i could just go ahead an purchase a version from their website and here is the reply I got.
You can purchase the $19.99 Northa America version from our webstore but I would hate for you to buy that and still have the same problems. We will get back to you as soon as we can about this issue. We appreciate your patience.

CoPilot Technical Support
I don't want anyone to think that I'm attempting to pirate this software, I have purchased a version from the apps store but it just won't work.

Ok, now I'm really PO'ed. Just checked support site and they marked my service order as "Solved" Not a word to me about anything and certainly no solution to my problem. Guess next step is to contact credit card about refunding my money. Too bad, I really like the software.

I am still having this issue as well. Currently hve a support ticket with them.

Well, they just refunded my money (even though I never requested a refund). I guess the issue is "resolved". Oh well. I wish it could work.
Anyone know another good offline navigation package for android?

Just got my refund from them this morning also. Their explaination was "it was not designed to run on your device".
I've tried Aruna from the market and it installs fine. Then you have to download the maps individually. I downloaded the map for Indiana and it took me hours to complete and then the map would not load. So I'm still looking for a solution too.

I know you guys may be fed up with Co-Pilot at this point, but I still love it.
Is it worth a little more money to buy the $20.00 version from the website?
For me, it's an absolute must-have tool when I'm on the road (I do a lot of field work, so having GPS is crucial). I've used everything from In-dash GPS/Radio combos, to laptops on Ram-Mounts, to just using my Droid X.
My G-Tab/Co-pilot combo is just awesome

[Q] Clarification of Co pilot activation

Hi Guys and Girls,
First of all I apologize for starting a new thread about this, I have put a search in both on Google and XDA and there is one possible solution I just need some clarification being a noobie!
I purchased Co Pilot 8 quite a while back when I was on stock rom but have since tried several different roms each time reinstalling my co pilot. After each install I obviously have had to reactivate it, last week after trying yet another rom my Co Pilot wouldn't activate. I contacted Co Pilot support and after several emails the outcome was that I had activated/de-activated several times and had reached my limit. They have allowed me to activate one last time(their words) but I know I'm not going to stick with the same rom so unless there is a way around this my purchase appears useless, especially as I have bought text to speech and live services as well!
During my search I came across a possible solution to back up your activation key which is licp8 in the windows directory. As I only have one activation left I need to get this right so if someone could clarify this for me I would be most grateful. What I need to know is if I now re-activate Co Pilot and then back up the above file (licp8) to my storage card, when I put a new rom on my phone if I then copy my backed up activation code from my storage card back to the windows directory, does this mean my Co Pilot will be activated without having to do so over the internet as this will obviously register with ALK Technologies?
Does that make sense,(no pun intended).
Sorry about the long winded explanation.
Thank you for any help
No offers?? Ah well I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet the next time I load a new rom.
can you not install copilot on the sd card so you won't have to activate every time you flash?

That kind of works, but only in the sense that you don't have to type all of the ridiculous long numbers for activatio again. It will remember all of your keys and your email/account settings.
I don't know how often I have re-activated, probably about 20 times, haven't had a problem since. But if you have a valid license and it has always been on the same phone (as in you didn't share the code) then how can they justify not re-activating the product. I like CoPilot, but if they try a stunt like that I will never buy it again.

Thanks to both of you for the reply.
I do install it to my SD card and like smackmac says that only partly works.
@smackmac
I have probably activated less than you so I don't understand that one?
In one of the emails they sent me, they have limited activation to protect against software piracy, I can understand that so I asked them why don't they link the software to the IMEI number but they said they can't do that. The software is fully legal and I have only ever had it installed on my current phone,(HD2). I did give them an in depth explanation of the reason why I had activated/deactivated but I got the impression they didnt believe me, I even had to scan my email receipt and send as an attachment as proof of purchase. Like I said I will try that possible solution in my original post the next time I put a new Rom on the phone and ill update the post to let everyone know whether it worked or not.
Thanks again for your response.

Please let us know how your test goes eddyedwards007.
I just learned from CoPilot Support/ALK Technologies today, that I have also reached this "activation limit", that I was totally unaware of. I would warn anyone considering CoPilot not to buy if they ROM flash often. Or even if the hard reset often. Or even if they just think they'll have to reinstall the software often.
After I contacted CoPilot Tech Support/ALK Technologies about receiving an "error 1027" when trying to activate the product after a recent ROM Update, I got the following response:
Dear Darnell,
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
Unfortunately the reason why you are receiving error 1027 and why you are no longer able to continue activating CoPilot is our Activation server has seen that you have reached the maximum permitted activation limit for a product.
Looking at your product key code you have activated 24 times.
Unfortunately there is nothing further I can do to unlock your Product Key Code to allow for further activations as this falls under excessive uses of activation.
You can resolve this by purchasing a new version of CoPilot but if you continue to activate to the same level that you have already been doing then your new key will also be locked out after a period of time when you reach the maximum limit.

So basically, they have my money and I have no CoPilot.
I have never had an issue of this sort with any other product on my HD2. I guess the magic number for me was 24. I had no idea reinstalling to the same device multiple times was an issue for them. This is an issue anyone considering CoPilot needs to be made aware of. Ticks me off when we who follow the rules and pay the money are treated like the bad guy . For crying out loud, we paying customers are the ones that DO keep them in business! Trying to use the product honestly now has me locked out.
So I fired off a response to the support ticket with a complaint of how I dislike them having my money while they fail to offer me service. My issue has now been fowarded to "Senior Technicians" and they are supposed to be getting back with me soon.
If they ever grant me activation again, I'm going STRAIGHT TO THE ANDROID VERSION. The Android version does not have to be reactivated as often, since when upgrading Android ports all the information is saved and comes right back through using the old data.img file or a utility like Titanium Backup. HD2 owners using an Android port have confirmed this for me. (See here and here.)

Hi Darnell,
Interesting post, I more or less got the same response, basically you are not going to be allowed to activate a product you paid for because they think you are making pirate copies. I have just downloaded the latest version of the rom I use and I will be taking the plunge tomorrow(19/11/10)
I sent a PM to Appelflap, who originally offered the solution, asking could he/she confirm it works and this is the response I got, [That's right. If you backup licp8.dat and copy it back to windows directory before copilot is started for the first time on the new rom, it will start as a activated copy.]
I hope Appelflap doesn't mind me posting the quote that was sent to me via PM.
So I hope it works otherwise I'll be left with a deactivated copy of Co-Pilot I'll let you know.
By the way I hope they grant you another activation, good luck.
Regards
Eddy
Activation
Hi All,
Just to update what happened.
I have installed and updated my rom and did exactly as Appelflap suggested and .................................wait for it..............it worked!
So just to recap, if you have like myself, purchased co pilot and flashed numerous roms, you will eventually reach an activation limit and ALK Technologies won't allow you to keep activating indefinitely.
So if you go into the windows directory, copy licp8.dat to your storage card, and then after you have reinstalled co pilot, copy the licp8.dat file back into the windows directory BEFORE you open co pilot, that is important! This worked 100% for me and also my text to speech and live services I purchased are also working.
I take no credit for this, all the thanks and appreciation go to Appelflap
I hope this can be of benefit to other members of the community, and lets hope no-one from ALK Technologies reads the forums and comes up with a fix!
Regards
Eddy
Yesterday, I got this message from ALK Tech.
Dear Darnell,
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
Please try activating your CoPilot again with the same product key.
Please be advised that it is imperative, before you upgrade or change the rom or the device, that you deactivate your licenses yourself in the future in:
Menu --> Settings --> Licencing --> DEACTIVATE
If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.

I was able to reactivate CoPilot Maps. But I am still unable to activate the Premium Live Services/Live Traffic that I also paid for. So I've asked them to assist me with activating that also.
A couple of things that may help
I've yet to hit limit and I think it is for the following:
I use XDA_UC (Energy version) to install the Laurentius26 CAB and also to copy licp8 (contains your license key and saves typing out on the ABCDE keyboard) over to windows which avoids the need to reactivate the license. Then CP8 when run does do not go thru the activation loop.
Clearly for this to work you need a purchased license. I've have changed ROM's several dozen times without issue using this method. I hope this helps.

I was able to successfully activate Premium Live Services/Live Traffic tonight. I think I was mistakenly using my old password when trying to activate that one. Since the old password was likely stored, but I had changed the PW when trying to initially figure out why I could not activate.
I sure hope more CoPilot owners see this thread before they run into any issues.
might sound simple but wont a backup or system image saved to your sd card restore your setting/co-pilot etc? ive done this with my phone a handful of timeswhen updating roms, never with anything fully registered but demo versions of apps and sofware ive installed are still within the preview time limit.
this way you can restore your prefered rom with your copilot and settings without having to activate it time and time again. may be totally wrong as ive never used co pilot but unless anyone says otherwise its gotta be worth a try?

Not usually good practice to restore a backup from an old ROM to a new one. It's usually best to only save and copy over just the nessesary files. Such as the one already mentioned.
To restore the full system image would also introduce any potential bugs that might have been in the old ROM's system files.
But we're trying to maintain what we paid for, not extending a trial.

How do we activate this or purchase?
You have to purchase it on the market. The new file they have isn't working properly. This is the previous version. So go to the market and purchase it. Then delete the downloaded file (the one you purchased) and replace it with this one. Allegdegdly there will be a fix sometime next week. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Thank you. That got me up and running again.
My guess is that they were trying to strengthen their licensing, and forgot that a lot of tablets don't have phones in them. Thus the tablets don't have the file the new version was looking for. The version you uploaded has a bug that sometimes asks for your license number in the middle of getting location information, but you can back out and work around that bug.
Jon
Its asking me for a 15 digit order number....my Google checkout receipt has a very long number....not 15 digits. How are u guys getting around this?
Once you purchase the app, they will send you a license key. It can take a few days to get this and in the mean time you get a cryptic message. Be patient.

Did anybody get CoPilot Live 8 working on Atrix?

Guys Atrix is not listed on CoPilots website as compatible device so I'm wodering if anybody got it to work on Atrix.
Thanks for your time.
works on mine
Mine would not activate on my device. I emailed the creators on Friday the 17th of March, but haven't heard back from them yet. Hopefully I well later today.
thanks, let uf know what they said.
I too had an activation issue on my CoPilot with the Atrix. I installed it when I first got the Atrix but didn't try to use at all till last week, had to email support and have them reset my activation number so I could use it. Took them a whole... 4 hours to respond to my email to get everything working.
Honestly though, aside from loading it up, downloading the maps and setting my preferred settings.. I didn't use it use it... so while I assume it's all good I haven't gone on any longer trips to where I use this over google maps to prove it

Apps show as purchased in Market

I've had the Minecraft apk from a friend that bought it. Now with the sale, I was going to buy it myself but it shows as Purchased and it doesn't even try to buy it(says cant download app wasn't purchased). I'm suspecting this is because Titanium Backup Market doctor. I even tried a full wipe of the ROM and no change. Older Market shows it normally, but the price isn't right(it's the normal price, not the 10 cent sale). Even the web based Market shows as Purchased. Can anyone help? I would really love to buy it
Yes my credit card works fine, I bought SwiftKey and Fieldrunners 2 minutes ago.
Exact same thing is happening for me with Soundhound (paid). I uninstalled the non-market version, and it shows purchased on both the Market website & app. I just tried uninstalling Market updates, force stop, clear data, reboot.... and the market still shows "purchased".
I also previously used TB Market Doctor. I've already unlinked the app using Market Doctor.
EDIT: I guess Google heard me. Now it's showing not purchased on the web & phone. Now I purchased it and it's working. Thanks Larry! (I think?)

I have just logged in to my Android Market account and used the "report a problem" link next to the three apps I am having trouble with to report this to Google. Fingers crossed they can reset/unlikely them so that I can buy the genuine apps in the ten pence sale.

I don't know, that means they answer and fix it in less than 6-8 hours. Let me know if you're successful as I'm interested in fixing this problem if it happens again.
damn! got the same thing happening with Beautiful Widgets...grrr!
I would also like to know how to resolve this...
I want to purchase Flick Golf, but I can't download it because I already "purchased" it
I also have this issue, and have been trauling the internet for days for a solution, of which there appears to be none at present.
I have also used the report problem link but have had no response as of yet.
I had the same problem with adw launcher ex but I solved using my old phone that is running the 2.2.6 version of the market. I believe you don't strictly need an old phone to do it, maybe just downgrading the market could help .
It didn't show the app as purchased but with the original price (2.33€ or something like that), but when I went on to check out, it showed me 0,12€ (0,12€ and not 0,10€ for, as I read in the email I received from google, italian IVA, the same as VAT) and so I completed the order.
I hope this fixed the problem forever.

Thanks, that worked. The price changes to 0.10€ just before you check out.

I managed to get the old market on my Sensation, find the application I want and it now let's meet buy... But, I click buy, then accept permissions, and the checkout where it shows my card number has a 'buy' button at the bottom, but no sale price... Is there a further screen after this, or has Google pulled the discount?

Just answered my own question, clicked buy on Endomondo Prof and was charged full price, not the sale offer. Oh well, it was only only 69p anyway.
At least I know what to do if any other apps come up in the sale. Cheers fellas.

I had the same problem with adw launcher ex but I solved using my old phone that is running the 2.2.6 version of the market. I believe you don't strictly need an old phone to do it, maybe just downgrading the market could help .
It didn't show the app as purchased but with the original price (2.33€ or something like that), but when I went on to check out, it showed me 0,12€ (0,12€ and not 0,10€ for, as I read in the email I received from google, italian IVA, the same as VAT) and so I completed the order.
I hope this fixed the problem forever.

I tried that method, even downgraded to DI18(Samsung Epic 4g), but my Credit Card is greyed out
but i purchased other apps recently with the same card
Damn it, I completely forgot about Android's refund feature. I would've tried getting Minecraft with the old market even though it said the old price.. well maybe it will get cheap again(like a last day finale)
I had the same problem when trying to purchase Shazam yesterday. I previously had the app installed (a cracked one), but I removed it before purchasing. When I purchased, it said it went through, but when I went to download it, it says I havent purchased it. I emailed google, they said they were having problems and that it should be fixed in a few hours. They emailed me back and told me it was fixed, but it was still showing as purchased in my market. Now that the sale is over, i guess I'm screwed out of it now.

[SOLVED] Demo Unit Advice

So, here's the deal.
Got my Z2 this afternoon, offhand I say awesome.
Here's the deal, seems it's a "Demo" unit. Thought it was suspicious when I saw a couple of extra apps running in the processes, and of course when the battery was charged to 50% of course the Demo app starts!
And of course it wants me to update to version .314 which I am pretty sure I don't want to do yet.
Now, asking the best recourse to eliminate this.
1) Root and remove the offending apps, then update
2) Reflash a new build (0 experience on Sony tablets)
3) Use the "Dialer" code combination referenced on the Sony site.
So I'm asking for suggestions. Due to the way the return policy is in Moscow, I would rather not go that route.
Thanks in advance

UPDATE: Solved. On LTE version use dial pad. Dial this: *#*#73556673#*#*
Did you steal the demo model from the store or something?

Ha Ha,,, no, this often happens over here , especially when you order online from the cheapest price (welcome to soviet russia)
Eh, as an update, I used the dialer code from the Sony forums, and it magically vanished
Just trying to guage my options before the next step.
