people i need a hint
does nike support wifi and is there a way to enable it
thanks
i was googling and according to specs there is no wifi
but i read that the chipset supports wifi and wondered if devs enabled it
thanks in advance
I have gone through other topics referring to wifi on the Nike.
What people have come up with is that the Nike has a wifi antenna but HTC disabled it for telecommunication providers to bundle you onto data plans, As well as that if the Nike did have Wifi actually enabled, people would prefer it over a normal Touch, thus people buying the Nike instead of the Touch. Keeping in mind it is ridiculous that the Nike having a Wifi antenna inside it if HTC disables it meaning we cannot use it either way (Developers on this forum have attempted to get it working but no luck as of yet.)
Hope this helps ya!
Hi,
I guess that not only the antenna is missing but the power amplifier and the receive amplifier for WIFI + frontend filter.
Someone has a motherboard of the phone?
I work in cellphone hardware issues. If someone scans the board with minimum of 600 dpi (1200 dpi wold be even better) from both sides, then I can have a look at this and tell whether there is some WIFI hardware on it.

CHECK HERE FOR THE PROCESS
yeah i have seen this thread just seems theres alot of
problems getting it working, just wonderd why htc are saying tytn has gps
and can be used with tomtom but no one can get it working
I don't think HTC is saying it's built-in, just that it's available, supposedly as an add-on.
"quote from HTC site"
Support: HTC TyTN
Q: Does the integrated GPS turn off?
A: From everything seen so far, the GPS is only on when you activate the GPS software. You can conserve battery power by turning off the GSM radio when its not needed
it states "integrated GPS"
maybe I have made a mix up but this is stating its intergrated on the tytn
Could they possibly be refering to GPS the way cell phone GPS is defined? i.e. Ability to broadcast your triangulated position (via cell site, not satellite) for things like 911?
Dan.
That first link didn't load for me initially (some cookie not set I assume) so I didn't see it. The page certainly implies that the TyTN has integrated GPS, but it makes no sense for them to say "from everything seen so far" - if they made the product, shouldn't they know how it works?! This is very strange.
CmptrDan: I don't think it's an E911 related thing, because that cannot be used with regular GPS software AFAIK. If it's just the regular E911 TDOA technology, I don't think the handset even receives the location information; it is calculated by the cell towers and sent to the 911 operators. I must point out that I do not know any of this for certain.

They suggest turning the GSM radio off to conserve power when using GPS so they can't be referring to triangulation and stuff like that because without the GSM radio on, it wouldn't work.
Everything about that answer is weird.
I think they mean that if you're worried about GPS wasting power, you should turn the GSM radio off, which should (theoretically) kill the GPS too. That part actually makes sense...
Maybe they're just toying with us
Maybe someone over at HTC has noticed the efforts being made by some here at XDA-Dev.
So they just bung in some obscure reference to GPS just to mess with our heads
Somebody should call HTC Europe and ask about that. And I mean call, not email, because then they have to give SOME kind of answer.
there are now even more things about the gps, more answers perhaps

The links that you have written they report to gps external to the tytn.
i hope there are standards FAQ
It's logic that if you haven't GPS, or phone, or wifi, you don't ask nothing about.
Try to compare the ask possibilities of more devices...

Sorry for being the party pooper here but these articles seem to be generic and not specific to any particular phone model. You can see the same articles if you select Qtek S200. I don't take this as a sign from HTC that the Prophet contains a GPS receiver.

True, but the work in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1121407&postcount=387 shows that there is an NMEA compliant device trying to come out in the Hermes . The parent thread for that also has the exact same GSM and GPS chipsets listed as being in the Tytn and the Trinity.
Seems like they're really getting close to having it working, so keep your fingers crossed!
called htc europe today they said the 3600 has enabled gps the 3300 has gps but disabled until the next rom update but the tytn has no gps.
I mentioned the htc website in the faq's on the tytn, they said there maybe a mistake and will take a look and rectify any mistakes if any.
(I might have got them two model numbers the wrong way around but one definitely has gps disabled)

Well, the Tytn uses the exact same chipset as the Trinity, and this chipset has a built-in GPS (which the Trinity does use successfully as evidenced in this forum). I'm sure HTC doesn't want the general public to know that it's disabled this feature, but I've seen the chip info on Qualcomm's website and it does in fact have it. I didn't see any mention of GPS in the FCC submission for the Hermes, so they never had any intention of letting us use it (here in the states at least).
I really have to wonder why HTC would want to disable it other than to try and widen its product base a bit since the Trinity would have less public interest if the only difference between it and Hermes was the keyboard.
I really hope so would be great to get this feature working, at the moment im using a bluetooth gps reciver but not always got it with me.
if htc says there is no gps, then there shouldn't be any gps in tytn.
don't get too atracted
Hello all,
From my research it has been suggested that I could enable the wifi functionality on my Sprint Touch 6900 by modifying the Registry settings.
The wifi is enabled on European models but is disabled on this American model.
I found a nice Registry editor here, and looked around in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE but couldn't find the wifi.
I'm asking if anyone knows their way around the Registry could they please post the proper settings?
The icing on the cake would be if I could get the wifi button to display in the Comm Manager just like the European models. I'm also wondering if I flashed the device with a new ROM would that do the trick?
Any help or Good Orderly Direction would be greatly appreciated and Thank You for your patience.
op
Ok I've made some progress on this front for the benefit of other folks who might be experiencing the same difficulty that I am.
Here's a link to MSDN for WiFi Drivers and Registry Settings for WM6.
HTC Tech support claims that wifi is enabled on the GSM phones but the CDMA phones were experiencing difficulty connecting which is why the wifi functionality was left out.
I asked if I could get ahold of the wifi driver for the Touch and they were less than forthcoming.
The driver is a single dll and if anyone could post a link to download one, that would be amazingly appreciated.
Ok even more progress, I'm quoting another poster on another forum:

I called HTC today and they told me that the Wi-Fi hardware is physically missing on all of the CDMA-based Touch models, so don't get your hopes up with the registry hack. What sucks is that even if the new Spectec microSD Wi-Fi card cooperates with the Touch, you still have to chose (or swap) between memory and Wi-Fi since you can't have both at the same time.
Apparently, the CDMA carriers just want to promote their own data plans and not sell fully-featured phones. This makes some sense if you believe the theory that the best feature-laden phones are all GSM because there's a push to eliminate CDMA, thus the CDMA carriers have to peddle their data plans at large discounts to keep customers. $15/month for EV-DO is pretty darn cheap compared to AT&T's ridiculous data plans...
Yes, yes, I know, many will say "why bother with Wi-Fi since EV-DO is faster?" BUT the internet isn't the only network worth connecting to out there. Plus, there are probably many places where EV-DO coverage is lacking so Wi-Fi is a good thing...
They also said that the GPS is just the E911 type - no ROM update can make it any more capable than it currently is. Oh well...

BALLS!
I have been looking for wifi registry in my xda stealth for over one year and found that the registry settings for Wifi differ between different pocket pcs ....After a previous upgrade. the wifi button disappeared from the wireless manager and going to HKLM/system/state/hardware/wifi showed many things....when I followed the above link when the wifi key disappeared, it showed DWRD/DEC value 0 AND by changing this to 1 the key returned but was not working....after another rom upgrade the value had changed to 5 but the wifi was not working...changing this value to different numbers showed different wifi states like unavailable/connecting/ connected etc although wifi utility will tell wifi off!!!!
There is the possibility to make a radio version of Pharos that has wifi enabled?
This is an excellent device, but there isn't the wifi...
I hope that my proposal will be considered
Ya it is an excellent device abd please prof or tom consider and built up a radio for pharos including wifi.........please we r eagerly waiting for that thankyou
Dear users , in order for the phone to have wifi it needs a hardware part , that htc p3470 doesn't have .... so no software can enable a component that a device dosen't have
Good idea, but the WiFi hardware is absent on the device, just don't know how a new radio can provide the function...
Or I'm just so out?
You're so out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400361&highlight=pharos+wifi
To be honest, I dont know if the hardware is intentionally left out.
But since its a standard feature/option in most OMAP 850 versions it would seem at least very possible that its in! But disabled.
Again I dont know if its in, but I assume it is, read the tech specs for yourself!
I was planning to flas an artemis rom, that didnt work (no htccert, but fixing that is doable) but Im kinda scared of bricking my beloved Pharos.. I dont have a spare. bmd19 do you work for HTC? or were you involved in the design of the Pharos? or maybe you work for TI and have knowledge of the parts HTC ordered for the manufacture of the Pharos? How can you say what is and isnt present in a pda? did you know that HTC disabled GPS in the kaiser?
regards
I have no clue of what design there is on the TI-chip in pharos, or any other device. But the most logic thing, is that the wifi-abilities are a seperate chip on the mainboard, with an antenna and the wifi-controller.
This could however be integrated into the TI OMAP850 chip, but that seems unlikely. But there is an possibility. Is there anyone that knows that the wifi-controller is integrated in the OMAP850 chip? If not, cant we just pry the pharos open and look for the antenna/controller? There may not be an antenna as on the other devices, because the pharos was not intended to have wifi, so they could have dropped the antenna.
If the wifi-capabilities IS on the omap850 chip, I know there is a way to enable it. Its just that i dont know how... And it may take a lot to figure it out.
According to this map, there is an wifi-option that HTC may have included. However, that is unlikely. The WiLink-part that is outside the OMAP850 square is essential to wifi-capabilities on the device.

oh im drunk at this point... please dont comment this reply.
My Pharos, if you go into \windows and scroll down, it has some WiFi icons, one of which i select, it then takes me to step thru wifi setup.
I have not yet tried setting this up, and i don't have any links to wifi in start menu, and it is there, but kinda shadowed, not available, in comm manager.
I thought, maybe, if i put in the settings, then maybe switch it on, the menus may then recognise and display it.
after looking thru the windows folder like 20 times
i found the wireless lan but how do i put it on??
some help would be appreciated!!!!(A)
(A)i always think before i do something stupid(A)
i have just send an email to HTC about the wifi support,
i hope they will help us with the connection.
if i receive an email i will reply it on this website,
and if one of u found the solution please send it to me @ [email protected]
Greeting and good luck
(A)i always think before i do something stupid(A)
sorry for my English. got some info? Pharos is the ability to have wifi working. greet.
No. Pharos doesn't have hardware for WIFI, only bluetooth.
There is now way to gain access to wifi with it.
Hey guys,
I've just switched to the HTC Legend and I absolutely love it so far. Great device and I'm very happy I changed to Android from my brother's old iPhone 3G.
One thing I've noticed, though (like a lot of the phone's reviewers) is the crappy WiFi reception. I expected it to be bad... but not this bad. I have to be either in the next room to the router or upstairs directly above it to get signal above 1 bar, and if i move 10 feet away it cuts out entirely.
Contrast this with the iPhone 3G or even the HTC Touch2 I had last year, which were both able to pick up WiFi from my backyard or the street out front (both 15 meters away from the router). I'm not expecting the power of my laptop's wifi radio, but is there any way to boost the reception on this thing? It's not the end of the world cause I have a fair bit of data included in my plan, but it's nice to do some guilt free youtube surfing around the house without worrying which room I'm in.
Cheers,
Jennan
Simple. Either update your phone's radio firmware or buy a range extender for your router.
Ah, thanks for that. I'm fairly new to smartphones, how would I go about updating my radio firmware?
Cheers
Can anybody help me out? Cheers

What's your phone's software version number?
I checked the HTC website today and followed the step by step guide to finding out what my software version number. Unfortunately for me, it was up to date, so it looks like this is as good as I'll get Wifi radio wise.
Thanks for your help though
I find the WiFi reception reasonably good. Remember where the WiFi transceiver is positioned (to the left of the camera) and make sure you don't obscure it with your hands. Also, check that your router is not on the same WiFi channel as your neighbours (and ideally about 3 channels clear either side). You can use WiFi analyser from the market to survey your WiFi.

Just to clarify - that's the left of the camera as viewed from the front of the phone.

Get high gain atenna(s) for your router?
boost wifi ?
I have same problem. My previous HTC diamond had much better WIFI reception.
I found here a more recent rom from the one I have and all instructions needed
h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706435
mind the **
keep in mind that in order to upgrade radio you need to root the phone and doing so you'll invalidate warranty.
That's why I am waiting for Froyo update and then I'll decide if to root or not
A less practical, but theoretically valid solution, would be to take apart your Legend, and add a bigger wifi antenna. Just replace the black bit surrounding the camera, and bolt on a small satellite dish. Point it at the router, you'll be fine.
If you were to use a ROM that let you hold the phone at upside down, and still see the screen "the right way up", that may improve the Wifi reception, it worked with the Network.
I'm using SuperFroyo
Any way to do this? Looking at some hardware for my car, problem is that I want WiFi based system for least amount of lag while having active data as said hardware won't be a Internet access point.
Other wise I suck it up and buy Bluetooth version or get it hardwired with USB which will suck for when I'm outside the vehicle.
Any thoughts?
This is most likely the wrong place to post, but I am using a V20 (note 7 refugee)
Found a link, amongst others they no good without root.

There are some tweaks under Developer Options to change how the phone prioritized cell/WiFi traffic. Maybe one of them will help.

Ya it's there, except for the little note "for fast network switching". Although aggressive handover might work depending on how it handles high strength vs all data packets lost. But with both on it might work with it keeping cell data enabled.
