Guest Paul (MVP) Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 If you have a HTC P3600, originally released sans-GPS functionality, chances are you've flashed with someone else's (Dopod?) GPS enabled ROM by now anyway... however you may be interested to know that HTC have now released the official UK GPS enabled ROM, as well as a couple of other updates. Available for download from the HTC P3600 software page at HTC Europe, the updates are as follows: 03 April 2007, Operating System [ROM] Update New features and improvements are available with this operating software update. GPS receiver capability enabled.Browser improvements (mobile CSS, WAP, Iframe, etc.).Bluetooth improvements.New data network icons to differentiate between GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA connections.Streaming player added. TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 In order to enjoy the newly added GPS functionality of your P3600 we offer you a taster version of TomTom® NAVIGATOR6®, containing:TomTom® NAVIGATOR6® mobile application.TomTom® HOME to manage the TomTom contents and extras on your device.One free city map (to be downloaded from the phone after installing the application). Warning! Please ensure you have installed the Operating System [ROM] Update BEFORE installing TomTom NAVIGATOR 6. 02 April 2007, Network Settings Wizards Download a wizard which lets you install connection settings for your device (Web, WAP, MMS) for a selection of mobile operators.

Guest Neil5459 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 If anyone tries this, cna they post the OS version numbers please ;) By the description, it would seem that Orange already supply this version- GPS Enabled, Connection Icons and Streaming Player, though the O version is only AKU 3.0.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ovie Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Does anyone know if this is more friendly to the 4GB MiniSD card in terms of using over 2GB of the storage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pugzi Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Damn damn damn and double damn, i just spend 60 squids with tom tom for Navigator 6. If i'd waited I could have got it free courtesy of HTC. You don't get much for free these days but giving you a great tomtom N6 package is very welcome, cheers to HTC (and of course MoDaCo). ALL M700 owners should grab this offer by the xxls for a free TomTom N6 whilst you can!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yrreP Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 The version released is only a "taster", so you only get one map with it... In order to add more maps you'd need to purchase the full version! o; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 All you get is 'One free city map (to be downloaded from the phone after installing the application).', so I wouldn't get too excited! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ovie Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Is it suitable/recommended to install this on the M700 version? Also, is it possible, I believe you need to put in your IMEI number... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 On that basis then, no ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ovie Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 But would it be an advantage to do so? I'm not too fussed about the Orange home screen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DomH Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Has anyone managed to download this? I tried today (phone arrived today too ;)) but the IMEI / Serial number kept coming up as invalid, so I decided to ring their customer support.... Apparently Orange has a block on this version of the ROM as they need to issue their own and therefore it won't allow the download / update from the HTC website. Something about, if it went tits up then you would need the original ROM to re-flash which they don't have... Has anyone else had any experiences with this? (I know it's only just been released, but I can't see Orange rushing to get their version sorted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ovie Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Well, the only real, noticeable difference I can see at the moment is the fact that the GPS cabability is "switched on", meaning I doubt Orange would release another ROM as the GPS works for Orange already I think. But I'm just trying to work out myself if there are any other differences.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dave106 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) works fine on my m700, the rom is AKU 3.3.1 so its the latest version (and probably the last) of WM5, also the radio is newer than Oranges, 1.35 vs 1.38. Seems to run a bit quicker ive noticed & also the problem with BASS is fixed too. Edited April 4, 2007 by dave106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monolithix (MVP) Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Your best bet is probably to contact HTC directly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to get an update from both HTC and Orange for my M700 and they both are just not interested. I need the update so I can use the phone with my car kit. My car kit uses the SAP profile and this funtion is not available with the Orange ROM version. Is there anyone out there who has downloaded the HTC ROM and is willing to share it?
