nike HAS gps!

[kitzu]

Sorry, I repeat myself because I see a Sticky post saying "NO GPS - anntena missing". I've also read a few contradicting posts so I want to make clear:
HTC Touch Dual (nike) HAS gps receiver.
It is enabled on my “Bell” ROM (Canada).

I used the Diamond test software and I can see about 10 satellites. (Nadavi_HTC_GPS_TOOL.cab)
I have also installed Google maps and Garmin Mobile XT and both work like a charm.

I don't think there is a register/settings you can change to enable it on your phone. I think you need a new ROM.

On the WIFI side, I strongly believe it has WIFI but we may need a new ROM to enable it.

Dump your rom and share!!!!:D

Do you have an 528 MHz CPU? If yes, you have a Neon400 that comes with built-in GPS! And that's why you can't give us Niki-Users a GPS-enabled ROM! :(

Hi, I have no longer followed this thread as I found out I have a Neon and not a Nike.
I'll dump the Rom, SPL, OS and anythink that can be dumped if you tell me how.

[animelover]

The Neon400 isn't the same like Neon100/200/300 because the Neon400 based on another Chipset! This chipset is the Qualcomm MSM7201A (like the Diamond) instead of the Qualcomm MSM7200 and this chipsets doens't have a built-in GPS antenna so dumping your ROM isn't really helpfull for other HTC Neon users!


Sad but true, even for us Niki users! :(

[NetrunnerAT]

Anime ... CPU doesnt interessting me ... i need a Full Ram Dump, then i can enable it. I think, GSM is present in Niki and Neon to. Possible Antenna isnt present. I need some NV-Items etc ... i will talk with Thread Starter NOW to found a solution!!!!

[animelover]

Aaahh, I didn't know it! I need to learn a lot more about HTC devices! :D

[vcdwelt]

It seems HTC is always good for an surprise :D

Hope Netrunner will find the needed Files. With GPS the Niki is a dream for me :)

[NetrunnerAT]

Thread Starter doesnt answer hehehe

[kitzu]

Not much to answer. I don't know how to dump the ROM and I've asked before. If you can teach me I'll post the file. Mabe somone can enable the Wifi for Neon, at least.

[NetrunnerAT]

Yes i will teach you all we need BUT please talk with me over ICQ, MSN, MAIL, Skype ... what ever!

We need a lot steps and its to complex to post only via this Thread!!!!

Some steps doesnt brick your phone, but it doesnt start the OS, after reset. Some steps need a lot of time. Full Ram Dump ~ 2 hours!

I just ordered HTC Touch Dual from bell canada

set to arrive in mail in few days, does this mean im getting the Neon400? want to be 100% sure.

and if so, should i be looking at roms made for the HTC Diamond instead of nike roms?
