HTC Universal also supports fast Wi-Fi (802.11g) - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Just saw this over at msmobile.com http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4853.html Is it true???

It doesnt work in my jasjar

didnt think it would......

Its ROM dependent if i am not mistaken.

Dont tempt the devol on that one: 802.11G on the Universal

Hello everybody; For your information, i tried everything discussed in the forums to unlock 802.11G on the Universal (V1640 flashed to qtek 9000 french release), from altering manually the registry and clicking on the avaiable cabs whithout any success.
But i almost lost connection between my UNIVERSAL with my 108Mb netgear router in the process and could'nt revert back WITHOUT hardresetting the universal and reinstalling it from scratch.
So my advice would be to await lore precise info on that "may be embedded" feature without attempting anything in the meantime as your bound to loose some of the features of the universal.
Brgds, Arnaud

It worked on my JasJar, although at first it didn't want to reconnect. I'm not that it's any faster, but I think I'll leave it set this way.
**Can't get it to work after setting my wifi back to mixed and then back to G only, so maybe I was hallucinating previously. Sorry**

It doesn't work. I even tried it myself! I was sitting here switching my router from B&G to G-only and it would only connect when in B&G mode...

Why would they design hardware that could cope with 802.11b and g and then cripple the faster speed through software?
Surely this must be a hardware limitation that we'll never overcome? :?:
Unless maybe it's to preserve battery life. Would the g protocol require more battery than the b protocol?

If you check the chipset datasheet for the wlan you see that there isn't support for G. This is just a hoax.

The link is on the wiki, on the hardware part...

May have worked
I could not find the device under the same registry string as documented.
Found my wireless under tiacxwln1, suggesting the listed fix may relate to newer models may have a newer wlan card. My unit is a T-mobile MDA pro given to me around November.
Amended the registy settings and connected to a 54g router.
Did seem faster and have discovered more networks at my office today.
Still to establish if it is 54G or not.
On another note looks like T-mobile uk may be readying a rom upgrade, lots of activity on their ftp site last week. Half of the URL's I use to have to official upgrades and firmware for T-mobile uk devices dont work anymore.

It's got me thinking about this whole thing.
WHAT IF you could "rewrite" the radio stack, much like Linksys has provided the source code so that avid developers and Linux lovers could mess around with it?
Could we possibly enable EDGE capability? Could we retune to get 850 instead of 900 MHz?
Since the radio stack can obviously be changed regardless of the CE ROM, it may not be tied too directly to jump points in memory (unless the developers are following a fixed structure on how to build the stack).
I'm thinking back in the days when latter 33.6k modems were flash-upgradable to 56k with that K56Flex/X2 fiasco back then...
If the hardware is there and is primarily software-controlled, it just takes the right reprogramming to get it right.
Anyone on the same page as me?

What you call a "radio stack" is usually a realtime unix
operating system, running on a separate computer with its own CPU/RAM/ROM/IO/etc.
It is relatively easy to replace wince with Linux on the "general purpose" part of the phone.
Dealing with the GSM part is much more difficult for various reasons.

Universal uses the same TI ACX100 wlan chipset as the Blueangel, ipaq hx4700, and many others.
It supports only the 11Mb speed.

Is there a pin compatible 802.11G chip out there? If upgrading surface mount RAM in these things is possible, why not radio chips?

Tryed it, been there.
DOES NOT WORK FOR ME
(testing was done by setting my Router to G only mode the MDA PRO would not connect)

Modem connection via terminal emulation SW called MobileVT...

Hi,
I need to connect via modem to the PABX. The PABX is connected to modem via RS-232 on the remote side. I tried to use MobileVT SW. The problem is that I do not know which device on P3600 I should select and how to configure if it is even possible. I tried all devices. Some of them allowed me to enter a number but when I confirmed the number I want to dial it simply did not do anything.
Anybody can help on this? Possibly recommend different SW?
I thought that I will select GSM modem and connect via GSM network to the remote modem.
Thanks a lot,
RF
Eeerrh, GSM modem.....
Are you trying to telnet / SSH to your remote PABX host via dialup using the P3600 as an GSM dialup modem?
If yes, then you'll be disappointed. The HTC implementation of the GSM modem has problems in reasonably recent devices, including Trinity.
I have no luck with this new device. Probably 1 out of 10 times, you will get a connection... It has been very seldomly discussed in this forum (go search "CSD" you will find few informative but dated postings), probably because nowadays everyone is hopping onto GRPS, HSDPA, etc.
I for one, however, still find GSM modem very useful despite its 9.6k baud. Wish HTC will fix it, if ever.

Thanks for your input. It is quite important for me. However, it is not a dial up connection as you described it. It is like when you connect to a host using Windows Hyperterminal but if there is a problem with GSM modem implementation as you say it will not work as well.
Have you tried it with new ROM available from HTC? What software perhaps GSM modem settings do you use?
Is there any other way how to make a modem connection using "Trinity"?
I agree that the GSM modem despite it's small speed is still useful.
It is getting strange. I am still making some posts to my own. Anyway, I wonder if you guys can tell me on what Com port the GSM modem can be found and if it is possible to comunicate with it using AT commands like with standard modem.
Thanks for any hint.

Well I did a search on "CSD" and didnt find anything. I am very interested in GSM modem connection as this is the cheapest way for me to connect from the netherlands to my home ISP (0,77 €/hour) whereas UMTS and GPRS costs me a lot of €. So what can we do? Any software helping us?
trying 10 times wont be a solution as every call will cost me 0,77 € which makes 7,70 € at last (GPRS maybe will be cheaper than)....

I see now what you are exactly after. PPP is a nightmare on Trinity - but if you only need a serial connection, that would be easier I presume.
Try mToken, using the Cellular Line - which shouldn't have any user settings BTW since it is a built in device that shouldn't be configurable afterall.

AGPS - Australia

Hi,
Using a Dopod 810 / HTC Trinity and have upgraded to the official WM6 ROM.
So far so good. Still a battery drainer but not as much as the cooked ROMS.
I am finding my GPS takes a bit of time to lock onto sattelites. So....
a. Does the HTC Trinity support AGPS
b. Does the Australian 3 network support AGPS (I believe it does as it works on the Nokia N95)
c. If so, how do I activate AGPS on the device with this latest ROM
Would love some help.
Cheers,
Jeff
Sorry, this thread is a little old but I would like to bump it as I am looking for answers to exactly the same questions.
Mostly interested in how to enable AGPS on the HTC Trinity.
Thanks for any info!
Same here..
it would be helpfull for me too...
i tried a app which is lying around somewhere in the forum that supposed to download some nav data through internet and work as agps..but sadly it doesn't worked for me..
as it said n95 support 3 australias agps so d810 should also..now if anyone have any idea about that..
thanks

It does not work for everybody, not only for you .
All the programs you may find on the web are token from other devices like Kaiser and Polaris (Qualcomm GPSone MSM7200), or like Artemis and Eten devices (Sirf Star) ... and I never read somewhere that one of them worked correctly for the Trinity (Qualcomm GPS ONE MSM6275)
--> Actually (and perhaps never), No AGPS solution for Trinity.
The MSM6275 definitely supports AGPS, that is what the gpsONE at the end means. I've been trying to look stuff up but most of the data was on cdmatech.com which now just redirects to the qualcomm homepage no matter where you navigate and the qualcomm site has nothing of use there! Very annoying.
So is AGPS definitely not supported on trinity?
Is it supported on any HTC device?

Apparently it does, yes. You can enable it with a registry tweak, but it's also an option in BsB Tweaks, which is obviously easier.
I couldn't tell you why it's not listed. Maybe they ran out of testing time before the release deadline and decided to just turn it off instead. They could always give us a hotfix at a later date and call it a new feature
Who knows!
How to test it? Make sure you've got a wireless-N router and just test your speed on the phone with it on and off. It should be pretty apparent. (Obviously, it will make no difference unless you have a wireless-N router).

yes but my internet speed does not help mee do benifit of the n wifi
I will wait to be corrected but Wireless N offers much faster connection speeds - but only with your wireless router. If your bottleneck in Internet connection speed is your home based ADSL connection (which is normally FAR slower than any normal wifi connection - even a poor one) then you will see few if any benefits of Wireless N.
However, there are other factors and you may see more stable HD2-Router WiFi connections and greater range on connection - but if those were not previously problems then you may l see no advantage at all.
Some reports seem to indicate Wireless N on the HD2 uses more power on the handset - but that seems only to be implied rather than supported by any evidence at present.
Give it a try. The BsB software makes the Registry change for you and is easy to undo if you wish too.
I can confirm that after 2 weeks of testing the wireless N on the HD2, the speed is grater. I can notice the difference in loading times. I suggest you apply the tweak and don't worry, it won't cause any harm to your device.

thanks for the advice
it seems it cant detect my 5ghz router
Copying files across my wireless-N network seems much faster with this tweak on. However, I don't have any figures to back up my hunch.

VERY Strange WIFI problem

Ok
so for the last couple of days I've noticed that when at home, if I turn on the HD2's Wifi, my entire home network stops working. The router can no longer be accessed, even by wired Ethernet.
I figure it was a router issue, so I bought a newer better one by a different company - and what do you know: The same problem persists! As soon as I enable WiFi in my HD2 the router becomes unaccessible - and as I turn it off, all is well again.
I'm a computer technician, an MCSA and usually pretty good with those things, yet this issue baffles me. What on earth could cause that?
No other WIFI devices cause this issue, only my HD2.

What is the radio firmware version on the phone and what is the make, model and firmware revision of the router.
2 IT engineers are always better the one
My older router (with same problem) was 3Com 3CRWER200-75.
I replaced it with an Edimax BR-6524N. Same weird issue.
Both have latest firmwares.
My phone radio version... To be honst, I don't know how to check. My ROM version is 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE - which is the stock rom of the Israeli version as supplied by Newpan.
Also worth mentioning, this didn't happen until a couple of days ago. Everyting was fine for months with the same exact configuration. SOMETHING must've changed, but what?
And how is it possible for my phone to kill two different routers?
I have the same problem with my laptop when running windows 7 but not linux....seems too me at least my problem is a driver issue.could be the damned for you too possibly. Was there a possible divert update on your phone?
I do not have an hd2 so I am not sure.

You check your phone radio revision the same way you check your rom version. Go to settings, about phone, software information and look for the line "radio version".
Your actual rom version is quiet old and if you are still using a stock rom then you may want to have a look at the htc website for your country and see if you can get 1.66 rom or newer.
I personally have never experienced this problem but i always use linksys or netgear networking equipment. The linksys router i have at home i've had for many years (it's a wrt54g v2.0) and it still works perfectly even though it's cpu and networking chipsets are overclocked and it runs a custom firmware.
Well, the ROM is the latest available for my country :-(
But anyway, I managed to solve it by deleted all my wireless preferences and just 'rediscovering' my home network from scratch. Surprisingly that worked and solved the problem, even on my old router.
Now I'm wondering if I should return the new one and stick to my trust good old one, or stick with the new one? It was pretty expensive, and I don't really use an N wireless connection anywhere anyway, so... What do you think, XDA?

You have no need for it, get your money back.
the hd2 is capable of N speeds. You just need to enable it in the registry. Personally i would use the old one till it dies and keep the newer one in a box till then but the choice is yours
The newer one is a lot of money I spent for something I didn't even need eventually. I'll be turning it back, I think.
Thanks to all who helped You guys rock!

great to hear that you've found a solution!
A thought came to mind while reading this thread.
Wonder if it's possible that a certain radio file/setting on your HD2 might've been corrupted and instead of generating the usual wifi signal, it could've generated a signal on the same frequency that completely jammed you're router signal?
Similar to the radio jammer units available in some countries that can be used for GSM, Wifi, etc... just a thought!
Im glad you brought this up because I had the exact same problem (accept I could connect via ethernet just wifi went dead), almost brought a new router after spending 2 days trying to set it up :/ It wouldnt allow anything to see the router wifi wise let alone connect to it via wifi. I havent turned my wifi on the phone since then but ill try reseting my settings later to see if that works. I didnt wanna risk screwing the router over lol. Im on stock 1.48 rom and radio on o2 as well

That's an interesting thought, and if it's true - reversing it could be a tool for evil - just imagine being able to shut down networks just like that...
Anyway, I'm glad my issue was solved. That Edimax N router is really expensive, and I like my trusty old 3Com way better.

[ Q ] Wi-fi N-draft ???

In WM there was a option (in custom builds)
to enable something like N-draft for wi-fi.
It was increasing perfomance of wi-fi (for me it was even 10x better)
Is there something like this for Android ???
Thanks in advance.
To enable 802.11 draft-N needs draft-N capable chip, which the HD2 does NOT have! The wireless modes that HD2 supports are 802.11b/g, so you either mean something like "Extreme/Super G" (which I also think HD2 hardware doesn't support) or you don't remember correctly because what you're asking isn't possible...
Regards
Well, I know this , this is a reason why i called this as : " N-draft like ".
Can anyone tell me is something like this works for Android :

and

First is a link to article about N-draft capabilities,
second one is a link to BSB Tweaks showing N-draft enabling options.
So there is N-draft like application for Android HD2 ???
I'm pretty sure N is enable in android build I used, because my router says so.

A wireless N router usually transmits both N and G WiFi (and possibly B too), so being able to connect doesn't mean anything.
