Guys,
I have found another settings
Go to Program File -> DopodScv, you can find the "GPSRecorder.exe" file
The program runs under Traditional Chinese character, you may try it out
surely this only works if you have a dopod touch dual?
as your going into dopod scv
Yeah, have it but can't use . Is this another sign that HTC dual has GPS?
It seems like HTC has disabled Wifi, GPS & FM Radio on Touch Dual
Anyway, i'm selling my Touch Dual within these few days... Good luck to everyone
I wish that my finding helps you guys in investigating the Touch Dual, especially the Wifi & GPS
GPS: Why do we need it IN the dual - I much prefer the battery life dividends that my Bluenext GPS receiver brings me. 25+ hrs (quoted) continuous... if it was in the Touch surely it'd be a real battery drain?
WiFi is different though. I respect it's also a battery drain, but I wouldn't have minded that for the occasional use. There's no bluetooth wifi adaptors out there?
Just my take

*cough* Spectec MicroSD WiFi Adapter any use when it comes out??
Perfect, finally the MicroSD version. Problem is that there is no extra space left. I now use a 2Gb card for music and TomTom maps...
Interesting, but wonder how well that would work without an antenna...
As any way Itis not important!!?

Hi there Guys i know you have all stressed that there is no antenna for the GPS in the touch dual but i would just like to bring to attention one note, in the uk T-mobile happen to offer the touch dual , with a preinstalled navigation software called Copilot live7 which usess the intetrnal GPS, i have also visited the copilot website and they have confirmed compatability with HTC touch dual. so so so anyone got anything to that?
It's true, sort of
Built-in sat nav
With the CoPilot® version of the T-Mobile Touch Plus, you get live satellite navigation with on-screen and audible turn-by-turn directions. CoPilot� is powerful satellite navigation software for your mobile which performs just as well as a dedicated or in-dash navigation system. When your mobile has sat nav you save on two counts - you won't have to pay for a separate device plus you'll save yourself from ever getting lost again.

I don't really know if it's anything important for android but Broadcom just released the source of it's latest generation of 11n chipset drivers. I believe many android devices (just like the nexus one) use broadcom chips so it may be a great news. Possibillities for FM transmitting? What are your thoughts?

The hardware isn't physically capable of FM transmission, but it could certainly be useful for receiving support, most of the problem is still with the tuner application itself however as good kernel support is now available.
It can transmit if it can receive so transmission is fairly possible but will not happen without an application so first thing would be application to do it
I don't think the released source has support for our BCM chips yet. I think they're more of a future chipset and even that is still incomplete. Anyways, at least they released something which may help in decyphering the hardware.

I'd give $50 maybe more to a dev that can get a nice fancy app together that enables FM transmission. Seriously. That would be mint!

Unless it's got some amplification circuitry attached to the FM side of things that we don't know about, then effective range would be a couple of inches.
Sounds good, this thread will probably get moved though. Is in the wrong section.

Our chips are BCM4325 so my I stick by my first post.
The N1 is more than capable of doing FM. Using the Sense ROM, IntersectRaven (The poster above me) got it working in his kernal.
So its more than possible, so hopefully this will give devs a better insight into how the FM transmitter works. Would be better if we got the source code of the Desires FM app.....
FM transmission??, seriously lol, receipt yes but outbound? Maybe as an RC controller, surely not as a radio station.

On a more interesting application, I think it's related to WEP encryption cracking. Think there's a thread in here on that topic.

You can't.
Location detection is by current IP and crossreferencing known WiFi locations only.
It _might_ be possible to pair to a bluetooth GPS unit and use that.

Confirmed with Verizon on twitter, no built-in FM radio.
Maybe it's there but just disabled like it was in the atrix. It is a shame why motorola keen on not putting fm radio on most of their devices.

Using an app like Any Cut (Free on the market) you can create a shortcut to an FM radio app - there's one built in alright, just doesn't seem to have the hardware to go with it. It'll prompt you to insert headphones, but will never find channels or turn on.

Hi
There is no FM radio on Razr...
But you can buy for exemple Sony MW600 device (it's a stereo bluetooth headset with integrated FM radio) for 40€... It's works fine with Razr...

Perhaps they are saving it for ICS?
I mean, why bother to make a gingerbread app for it when they have to do it again for ICS?
But then again, it is sloppy work... same with that NFC device they stuck in it which doesn't work.
It's not as if it's something new; back in the day, I bought two Motorola A925s with a really nice AGPS installed which turned out to be faulty on both (one never got fix, the other one was just dead) and was probably never meant to be used for something else than a marketing gimmick...

It's still unconfirmed, last I checked. Pretty sure the RAZR's WiFi/GPS/BT chip does have FM capabilities, and is just lacking driver support. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20133613 for further discussion on the chipset.

Sorry, but WL1285 has no reference in the TI database. the Wilink 7 showing here is just WL1281/WL1283 chips....
How do you know whether WL1285 is not a custom made chip from TI to Moto.... and the validity to the iFixit's data can be questioned also..

The Chipworks teardowns clearly show both the Droid 3 and RAZR have the WL1285C chip, and the Droid 3 supports FM. Of course, the Droid 3's chip is labelled 2-WL1285C-13M1HH3, and the RAZR's is labelled WL1285C-19M0JZ3, so they may well be physically different revisions, it's certainly possible the RAZR lacks FM support entirely. I really don't think the information we have is conclusive enough to say "There is no FM radio unit in the hardware at all", though.
Don't know that this is what you're looking for but I use the app TuneIn Radio. Yeah, I know, it's internet-based.
However, with my Droid X I tried several "radio apps" but couldn't pull in a 100-watt FM station I listen to. Nothing worked with this ONE single station.
Now on the Razr, I've found the TuneIn Radio and it's all I need for my local station.
For those with Maxx battery tunein radio wouldn't hurt but a regular razr would die quickly without fm radio support.When we have unlocked bootloader, we can have the fm radio feature unlocked,too.
Tried a lot of radio apk, all failed to deliver signal and sound.

When I bought my XT910 it comes with android 2.3.5 and FM radio works! I cleary remember my hard dilemma to install ICS with RSDlite or not. I knew that will lose FM and accept this. Now, I wonder is this was smart choice?
So, XT910 definitely have FM radio capability in hardware, just lack new drivers to support this. Bad choice from Moto to not implement this in android 4+

No, while the processor chip may have support for GPS, the watch does not have the required sensors needed to get a GPS lock and to feed data to the processor.
If the sensor was actually in the device? Certainly there would be a way to enable it with a custom ROM, but that still dictates that the sensor would need to be built into it.

It means it natively has support for a GPS, it doesn't mean it has one embedded within the Snapdragon 400 SoC.
How about a portable gps reciever it's small and you can take with you. I have a nexus 6 and a LG G not GPS when I go for a run I have to take my phone to track my run could there be a way to bluetooth a GPS reciever to work with G watch. Like the way some people use there tablets and GPS same Idea?
What about Wi-Fi?
Many sites I follow are currently suggesting that the smartwatches powered by the Snapdragon 400 might have built in Wi-Fi antennas. The LG G Watch has a Snapdragon 400 APQ8026 but this SoC doesn't seem to have it. Can anyone confirm this?

When I looked at the teardown, the radio chipset is solely BT 4.0 :\ no wifi hardware in sight. However while the SoC supports it, without the hardware, that support is useless. Sorry to say
I read the watches have wifi but no antennas. Is it that they actually have the needed hardware but lack the circuitry for an antenna? Maybe a hardmod? Or no?

No. What you are reading is that they have the hardware to SUPPORT a wifi module (Some do actually only lack the antenna, however those will also lack drivers since the OEMs are not likely to make them). Not that there is one built into the SoC. As with the GPS above, even though your SoC supports something, doesn't mean it already has the hardware needed built into it.
@LittleLX: I actually attempted this and attempted to sideload a Bluetooth GPS receiver app to the watch, unfortunately because almost all of them use the Android ActionBar, it refused to start up. Android Wear is restricting applications to the swipe to dismiss action and forbidding the actionbar on versions of Android with Swipe to Dismiss on. That said, there is definitely room for this type of application to be developed for Android Wear, I had sideloaded CF.Lumen and ES File Manager, and while CF.Lumen doesn't open because of it's ActionBar, I had put together a tasker app factory app to attempt to play around and trigger (I had manually installed the CF.Lumen driver) it, it did show that it would work if I had been able to set up location services inside the app (choose the location for the automatic dimming..)
So Android Wear has potential to be a very powerful and extensible platform, developers just aren't interested in it yet it seems. We as a people seem to be stuck looking at a smartwatch as a watch rather than a wrist computer.
