Hi All,

First of all I hope I'm at the right place as this is my first post and I'm new to PDA's worlds. I just bought a HTC Kaiser and tried to install the spb GRPS monitor which was included on the CD. The installation said:

Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.

I had 1.82.707.0 WWE ROM and yesterday I upgraded it to 3.28.405.0 WWE. Both the original and the updated ROM cause the same error when I try to install this program. I thought the PDA come from the manufacturer with the original ROM and the shops doing maximum a language install to the current country. It seems they modified something on the ROM? Can I install somehow this legal software (without cracking it and which will not be a trial version software)?


thanks

Seems quite weird. Try going to SPB's site and downloading the latest version from there, and use the registration number you received to register the software.

There is also a program called BatteryStatus, which is freeware (use google to search you'll find it right away), which does sort of the same thing.

I use to use SPB GRPS Monitor, and never ran into this issue.

Where did you get the CD from that has the software anyway? I am pretty sure HTC wouldn't include a 3rd party software on a CD if you got the phone from them, or if it was new in box. The version you have might be really old and you may need to purchase the latest version anway.

Hope that helps.

I got an original new HTC box which included the CD (it seems original HTC as it contains HTC logo copyrights etc... and I think the box original as I got an original HTC varranty card with the device). May be it's an old version and may but I think it will not be a trial SW. I hope as it is a good program :) But may be not. I can't remember if there is any S/N for the SW and I'm at work atm. I'll check it later.

jahrami:

Thank you for the advice! Actually (in a fast search) I couldn't be fount update for GPRS monitor (as I said I'm at work atm so it was a really fast search). I'll search later again when I will be home. Anyway if I remember correctly somewhere on spb's webpage I read something about upgrade a product (not the GPRS monitor) and the upgrader should it purchase again. (?) Not sure... I'll chack this option later so I just wanted to do some reaction for your post :)

Thank again the advices!

best regards!
