I did some investigation and made GPS work to get the satellite Fix.But the Comm Port is very much differrent and now need to b checked further so that the other apps such as Tom Tom, etc can use the port.To my Surprise the Protocol is Qualcomm and Comm Port is SMD 7.Here are the pics attached.
ALso some pics of Wi Fi.
I hope someone here can make it work..
Excellent
How did you manage to get GPS to get a fix on this?
thanks
HI Hdubli!
VERY VERY excellent!
...so let me understand: Are you trying to switch on the GPS system inside the Dual?
How can i see the same pics of your?

...you know u become the master of touch when getting this to work...Best luck and keep us informed...
Thank you for your kind investigation
Oh baby!! GPS, wifi and unlock would be the best combination ever
Let us know about your progress at the GPS area...
Good work!

I used HTC GPS tool and some gps related DLLs.I will post the files and procedure once I get the GPS apps to use that port.
Perfect Hdubli....
You are right about GPS... I've already seen a device with GPS turned ON in Dual....as i wrote in my last post.
Good Luck and keep us in contact!
Bye
Typical, I ordered my HTC Touch on Friday (Arrived today), Then someone posts something like this.
Well thanks to good 'ol Orange My HTC Touch Dual will be here wednesday
I just hope now that this can be acheived, as I didn't really want to loose Wi-Fi, but having GPS builtin will be worth it.
And if I can help by dumping files from either device I'll gladly do it.
the chipset is definetly supporting GPS, but without a build-in antenna, I believe you won't have a good signal

Yeah..thats what i thought....hopefully theres an antenna in there.
So hdubli...have you actually managed to get satellite lock?
PseudoReal how can you say it?
Do you think that there is not a built-in antenna in this device?
Anyway... we all are interested in this new stuff!
come on guys... i now you can find the way to un-lock them!!

There is no built-in antenna because of space limitations. I have heard this from a person working for a company selling the DUAL.
Funny how people think.
The qualcomm chip can undoubtedly handle the wifi & the gps.
But the chipset only won't do much good without an *antenna*, for wifi or gps.
You know, the thing that actually gets the signal, just like the one you need to have to watch TV.
An antenna costs money. There is absolutely no way HTC would build a phone with antennas for gps & wifi, without putting support for it in it just for licensing reasons.

fully agree!
Hasn't IceHack mentioned though that he's seen a dual with Wifi and GPS working with tomtom....which must mean it has the antenna.
Also wasn't it the same with the p3600 at release the GPS didnt work and it wasn't in the specs but later rom updates unlocked the GPS......... and the same with the s730 smartphone,not in the actual specs but present in the hardware.
So im hoping this is the case with the Dual ....all the hardware's there including antenna just needs unlocking with future rom updates or hacks.
Hopefully thats the case anyway..gps and wifi in the dual would be perfect and a great replacment for my kaiser.
keep up the good work.
Yes guys, as I told you I saw a Dual with this functions active!
i'm sure that was not a MicroSd - Wifi or and GPS BT near to the device!
As happened with my P3300 I saw excatly the same ways of connects....
Now, I really don't know how to do that... even if I don't think that HTC's has decided to unmount the antenna but leaving these settings in it!
Don't you think it doesn't make so much sense?!
Hi guys,
Excuse my ignorance, but what do I need to use my XDA 11s as an sat-nat device. I have Tom-Tom software and niavely thought that was enough, however when I run the program it says "No GPS Device".
Also does anyone know where I can buy a replacement pen, I bought my device 2nd hand and the pen that came with is not the original and so it does not fit in the slot snug.
Many thanks in advance!
Rob.

You need a physical GPS receiver, you can find inexpensive bluetooth receivers all over the internet and possibly in local shops. Search google for "BT-GPS" and you should get alot of replies

Another great opportunity for google, I searched "i-mate+pda2k+stylus" and got 15,700 replies, here is a random site:
http://www.mphone.co.uk/acatalog/pda2k-stylus.html
beside new BT GPS you can also use old gps devices from the qteks 1010 and 2020 (mine is from the 1010)
you can obtain stylus from an ebay.
I think you will find that the stylus is not snug because the plastic clip inside the case is broken. Buying a new stylus willl not fix this problem. There are instructions somewhere on this site on how to fix this problem
A good GPS is the "Holux GPSlim 236" provides excellent reception and is able to be found on ebay.
Hello xda devs,
plenty of times this pages have give me the answer to my Android questions. Thanks for that. Today here my problem :
I got to have a "cheap" chinese phone, a replic. of a HTC sensation (box say Star a3...) with already IceCream.
I have it as a second phone: running, swimming pool, often lying in the car...
the problem I have, is that form time to time, the phone lose the sound. Never-mind I change to silent and back to normal; never-mind apps like "Wired Headset Routing Toggle"; never-mind if it is the music playing, the incoming call's ring, or the morning alarm. The problem persist ...
I hadn't found what causes the sound to disappear, but the only option to get it back working is to reset the phone, very often only after unplugging the battery and turn it on again (software restart often do not solve the problem)
Something "funny", when the sound get lost, the back speaker emits a "dik-dik-dik" very low instead of the expected sound.
seems to be nothing about hardware, because a reset makes it working again, but neither a software because just restarting the phone often so not solve the problem...
does anybody knows something about it that can light me up a little ?
as said, I have it as a second phone (first is a real sensation) so my arm-band, car dock and so is reusable, so I wish not to "return and get back the money paid", but trying to make it work.
Hi, you dont look on Chinese phone forum? Look around gooigle for some forum and look for an update for your handy. When you dont found a rom,look for the same on your handy and flash it. Maybe my answer help. And you need to find many answer for your handy, because its a cheap copy and make a long way around the world from china.

yes, indeed I did google for it before posting here, but no luck. And I thought that maybe somebody have experience the same with a similar mobile...
As far as I can see, there is only one ICS room for that phone, that was born by a russian team, and later continued in china, which it was installed in my phone.
You look in chinamobiles.org. They're very helpful.

Hello,
I have a major problem with my lower microphone (on the USB flex board), the microphone does not register much sound at all (very faint sounds are possible if you scream as loud as possible into the microphone directly).
I have replaced the USB flex board (properly, everything is connected correctly and the USB port works perfectly), but the microphone is exactly the same...
Anyone have any ideas? It seems a couple of people have similar issues, has anyone found a fix yet?
Also, does anyone perhaps have any ideas about how to force the top microphone (speaker phone mic) to engage as the active microphone during regular voice calls? I am 100% sick of using speaker phone for every voice call, especially considering I need to make private/confidential calls for work :\
and yes, I have removed the rubber housing as well and tested it without it, it makes zero difference.
Youve tried to repair it on rhe cheap and failed.Maybe take it to a repair shop and get it done properly.
And from your other thread,the spare one I have here has part no gt-i9100 rev2.2(so maybe the one you bought is still faulty )
Sent from my GT-I9100
So you've followed me to my thread because I made a post you didn't like in another thread, and offered complete shinfo.
Please, do not post again.
I am a fourth year EE student, I know how to replace a minor circuit board correctly.
Anyone who has any real advice, specifically about whether or not this may be some form of software issue, and with regards to my question about using the other microphone in voice calls, please let me know.
My mistake-I thought I was replying to a poster named Bodurr as he made a couple of threads about mic problems aswell.
He replaced the board and its still not working.
And I see what you mean about the other thread-I can assure you I never twigged it was you.
Anyway,if you require help,its advised to state what rom etc your running.That way someone could say "if your rooted make a nandroid backup then flash stock rom and see if problem persist".

I'm using rootbox ICS rom version 1.7, android 4.0.4 with siyah kernel v3.4.
Have made a nandroid backup and reflashed to stock a couple of times (including stock kernel and then CF root kernel) and nothing makes any difference.
The issue started whilst on gingerbread and has now carried on to ICS...
I'm seriously completely stumped and have no idea what is causing it :\
I've had a quick look and its advised to test using voice recorder to eliminate a hardware issue.
Other thing mentioned was to change audio values(but maybe need to be on GB to access and change values in the *#197328640# menu.
I don't know if you've done this already.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Just tested again with voice recorder (first time I have done this since swapping the USB flex board) and it's exactly the same issue.
There is SOME sound, but you need to have the volume on full with your ear right against the speaker to hear it, and it's still very faint like that.
What a bizarre issue, it seems no-one knows how to fix it either :\

experiencing exactly the same issue, replaced the USB flex and now have no microphone pickup on voice calls / voice recorder apps.
using ICS so not got the service mode audio options available (says BLOCKED)
don't know where I've gone wrong? maybe the part wasn't exactly right? I got it from here > http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251069751004
Heres someone that lists a seller and he says he has no problems.

Yeah, got the solution. It's actually the board/flex cable itself. Took me three boards to find that out. There is a lot of b-ware boards on eBay that were actually thrown out by Samsung because they did not pass QC. Just get a genuine spare part and your mic will be fine.

damn, i got the same then... its gonna be hard to get a proper board... I was thinking maybe, it had some kind of security by solder like lasers...
There's a little difference between 2.2 and 2.3, a single resistor, could it be?
Also, can't connect USB in Mass storage...

Hmm some people are saying 2.3 won't be compatible. Was your phone originally 2.2 or 2.3? Also how do I tell if it is genuine? If it says oem?
Why wouldn't it be compatible. A higher revision number usually suggests that something has been improved. BTW I initially had a 2.2 sub circuit board, now it's 2.3.
Well the new board should look like the old one. I think I took a picture the day I switched my board out. I'll try too find it later.

GPS issue in South France
Hi guys
Got the same problem with the gps,
It can't get satellite signal (or loses it during the trip)
My car is shown outside the road and/or on another street/road
The speed changes every second while I'm driving with the speed control of my car.
It's the very very bad point of this phone (for the moment at least)
postimg.org/image/aojifnye9
this is one sample how stupidly gps works on this phone , worst ever, lucky i got old BT gps receiver, never thought i will be forced to use it - i was not moving using mapmywalk - ive tryed all MTK fixes, suites, tests etc - got plenty satelites but still getting this stupid result - it finds satelites and than drop them to repeat this endlessly - i guess theres no way that we will be able to fix it , its up to Elephone guys
sry to not post picture propertly, i am not alowed.

Elephone P9000 GPS Problem with Running Apps
I too am having a GPS problems on my Elephone P9000 in the UK and I mostly want to use the GPS to track my running.
It will pick up the satellites but quickly loses them. This is making the phone almost useless for any running app . At the moment I'm also wearing a Microsoft Band 2 which has it's own GPS (but not AGPS) and I'm using fitbit or endomondo on the elephone P9000. I'm therefore getting side by side comparisons of my routes (Microsoft band 2 GPS versus Elephone P9000 GPS). The Elephone P9000 GPS tracking, zig zags a bit (as it loses GPS signal) and has even tracked me going in a small circle when I was in fact going straight up my road! This is resulting in the P9000 showing my distances as much further than they actually are (due to zig zag/errors). Conversely, the Microsoft Band 2 holds it GPS signal much better and the track it shows much more accurately shows where I've walked/run.
I'm very frustrated. I've only just got this phone and was previously ( up t end of April 2016) using an LG G2 running Fitbit / Endomondo with no probems at all. The moment I changed to the Elephone P9000 both applications started showing these problems.
I've tried the GPS fixes, e.g. getting an app to reset the GPS and download a fresh AGPS table before starting up but this does not seem to help at all.
I hope Elephone can fix this P9000 GPS problem as without this I may need to go back to my LG G2 for my running.

I have same issue with GPS. It fix with no problem, but it have really poor quality. I'am using my phone as flying instrument for Paragliding, and accurate GPS is need for me.
Is your "EPO.DAT and EPO.md5" method, really solution for this issue?
If yes, could you please help me out, how exactly fix it?
on MTK devices i saw this behaviour mayn times.
for example for the p6000 , p7000 , m2 , k4000pro , p8000 and p9000
the mtk gps chip is not that good. it works in most regions . but users in germany (including me)
have weak gps connection. there is not much we can do .
personally i use google maps and that works for me very well.
i also tried navigon and copilot but they always lose gps signal...

Yes, the quality of GPs is not good. I resolved as I said.:
Copy the two files downloaded separately in the directory / data / misc and restart the device.
Obviously you have to have the phone with root permissions.
