Vogue Radio, GPS/WIFI ?

---

The Vogue has the same hardware inside than the TyTN2/Kaiser.
Can we imagine flash the Radio ROM from the Kaiser to the Vogue and get access to the wifi and the GPS options ?

or have an own cooked ROM to open the access to this ?

Any idea on this ?

[edit]

uhm ... you have right! chipset have the ability ... i have get yestersday my new working handy! i will try some cross mixes with the kaiser rom.

I am also very interested by the outcome of this tweak.

Cheers from Brussels!

The TyTN II/Kaiser is GSM, the HTC Vogue is the CMDA Touch... So the radio will not probably work...

The Vogue does NOT have the same hardware as the Kaiser. If you flash the Kaiser rom on your Vogue, you are likely to brick it.

The vogue has a Qualcomm MSM7500 chipset, where as the Kaiser has Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset. Very similar, but not the same.

Either way, I am very confident that the Vogue has GPS capiblities that may or may not be unlocked in a future rom update (possibly at the same time as a EV-DO Rev A. update comes out, but that is hearsay). I say this because the MSM7500 chipset has a GPSone unit built in. It is capable of running as an aGPS chip or a standalone GPS, if the rom allows it to, like the Kaiser's does. This chip is included due to FCC regulations for E911 service.

WiFi is another question. The MSM7500 chip does not have a wifi radio built in, but it does support one on the SDIO bus. I can't see why they would go through the trouble of adding a WiFi radio, only disable it. I suppose it is possible, but until someone gets some good pictures of the guts of the Vogue or comes out with a ROM or hack that enables WiFi, I am not inclined to believe that there is a WiFi radio on the unit.

spectec makes a wifi card, only prob is, it probably has a terrible range!

Regardless if it has terrible range or not, it would be nice if the company will get off its butt and sell that card. They have been promising about it for months and still nothing.

Sorry all guys, I'm not tallking about the Vogue but about the "Touc Dual"....
Will repost in the good category...

Isn't it stated in the HTC website (http://www.asia.htc.com/Asia/SEA/pro...ouch_Dual.html) that the chipset is Qualcomm® MSM 7200, 400MHz ???

waiting for the HTC Nike forum then...

but I am still interested whether the vogue may be enabled with GPS/Wifi as well
