Hidden Wifi/GPS - Possibility to unlock?

---

I'm starting this thread to research the hidden possibilities in the HTC Touch Dual (nike). Alot of questions have been asked about wifi capabilities in the dual and how they may be there just locked by the manufacturer. I hope this thread will help us answer wether further capability is unlockable via roms, cabs, drivers, or registry changes.

In an article about the upcoming WM6.1 I found these interesting finds.

"Qualcomm see the decreasing cost of the smartphone spurring growth in adoption of these devices. Steve talked about the Qualcomm/Microsoft collaboration effort and the MSM 7xxx series of chipsets we see in today’s latest and greatest devices. These chipsets include GPS, media, applications processors and more in a single, low battery consumption configuration. There are several variants of their chips in mobile devices today with some having everything inside and some having limitations desired by the manufacturer or carrier for various reasons (cost, size of the device, targeted market, etc)."


The HTC Touch Cruise (polaris) has GPS & Wifi with the Qualcomm® MSM 7200, 400MHz processor - The same processor the HTC Touch Dual (nike) has. There would be no reason to use additional hardware in the Polaris if the processor provides this capability.

already posted at other thread that when someone installs the various cabs that people are trying, when we go to wlan settings mac adress doesn't appear.
Usualy appears even when wifi is off.

Regarding gps i tried using google maps to see if detects something but the only com port that kinda works is com 7 but it turns bluetooth on, so it must be a bluetooth port...

Here you have a link for the japanese version that will be available in january.

NO GPS, but has WIFI and FM RADIO.

wouldn't mind having fm radio on my nike!!!!

There's neither WiFi nor FM radio in the japanese version. PDAdb.net is just wrong (as many times before).

IT HAS FM RADIO

Chainfire:
Just wondering if you could post a RegDump (possibly directory/file listing) of your Kaiser?

I think we are still missing some registry entires.
One such entrie:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
"DeviceName"="{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511"

If I know how to extract files from Rom's I'd probably stand a better chance at all this.

Wifi -> theres already a lot of discussion on another thread

It does indeed seem to have an FM radio. It doesn't change much, though (hardware-wise at least, as you would have to use the headset as an antenna).

My point is, don't trust blindly on PDAdb.net. You can find many errors if look around in there (though most of it seems to be right).

Heh you are right, I did miss that one. Can't make a complete listing right now but I can send you a comparison between the two devices I made yesterday.. In these files 'M' stands for missing and 'D' stands for different... If you send me back two files with only the lines of the files and registry entries you want I can make it into a patch by pressing a button...

I'll try sending you a full listing and dump (instead of the compare files from yesterday) later today.
