Err..sorry for some noob question here, AFAIK Touch does not comes with built in GPS, but how Mapking works with this device? Besides Mapking, any other S/W can support with Touch?

Hi JtuneD,

The Touch doesn't come with built in GPS. U'll have to get a bluetooth external receiver instead.

Softwares that will work with the Touch is Garmin, Mapking, Imap, Handymap, tomtom, etc etc...

Too many to mention. But remember that ur Touch has a low CPU clock and it will jam if u load too big a map.

Guys,

Just trade in my old O2 Atom and bought a new HTC Touch not long ago. It is small, sleek and fit nicely to my pocket, even though the OMAP is less powerful than XScale but still can tolerate with the speed.

Programs currently installed in main memory are:
1. Resco Explorer
2. Resco Photo Viewer Pro
3. Monster Chinese
4. Tengo

And on memory card:
1. Sprite Backup
2. Skype
3. MSDict
4. Opera
5. Bejeweled 2
6. Some Astraware Games

The device still working fine and not much sluggish. Still not used with Touch Flo, I found it hard to slide also and if Windows Mobile able to work as responsive as Palm OS would be nice. Hehehe.

Since I am a DiGi user, and only support EDGE, I guess this device is fine for me and have no regret in getting this device and my colleague who is using HP rw6828 is eyeing on my beloved touch too. Wondering why 3G licenses given to MiTV and Time but they still haven't roll out anything yet...

hmm i find the skype quite unstable....

only programmes i have are all the updates on the rom and on the mem card is the monopoly and opera...

Got myself a second hand htc touch from lowyat forumner yesterday and having fun with it right now. Looking at xda-developers website, someone has come up with a lite version of the ROM .. anybody has tried it before? Not fancy bricking my PDA for sure..

One more thing, any of you having leather case for the htc touch? If yes, what brand do you have? Was looking around but not that many options and end up ordering Krusell Orbit for US$36(inclusive delivery) from amazon. The unit looks a bit small and fragile and am afraid that it will slip lose if I use the cheapo silicon case.

anyone using big virtual keyboard such as tengo?
is it free?where to get it?

when I was using the touch last time... I find that the third party leather cases from krussell, capdase, grab, made the Touch become hideously thick which defeats the purpose of why I bought it in the first place (slim and shirt pocketable)

so I stuck with the pouch that was in the box...

agree with fariq, best use the original pouch.

anyone?

i am owning a touch myself, got it about a month ago, Price RM 1800 with 1GB card, argree with the storages, only afew programs is full up the device and the 200 mhz is really not that good, previos i was using o2 mini ..

flash to custom rom then you will have at least 59MB mainstorage.

Mayb this is what ur looking for http://www.overlayplus.com/dis_product.asp...rod_type=screen

a few questions... i have flashed to custom rom, now i found a problem. i not able to rename and delete item from frm storage card neither the main memory. error saying something like "access denied, make sure the file is not write protected..." anyone can help?

also anyone installed any map application (ie mapking)? i know there are few apps, but which one is best for htc touch?

someone asked about tengo. im using it right now... quite nice to use but need to get use to it. it works like t9 to me, just that the layout is different.

hi vicfirth,

most likely somewhere along the way, something got corrupted. Y don't u try copying all ur files onto ur PC, reformat d card, copy back into d card n see whether it helps.

Otherwise, u may just have to reflash ur ROM.

Regarding ur ques on GPS softwares, it doesn't matter which one u install as most of them r equally as resource hogging. If u insist on installing a map software, I'd suggest u install mapking.

gossh.... this is something i try to avoid.... btw, how to reflash to original ROM?

hi vicfirth,

u don't necessarily hav to reflash back to d original ROM. Ur custom ROM will do also. But if u wanna flash back to d ori rom, just download it frm d HTC homepage. Have u tried to reformat ur microsd card?

kerazul, i not able to delete, rename the file/folder in main memory as well. do you think reformat the sd card will help? another weird thing i noticed is, i wanted to remove program but the list is empty.... sound kinda serious now...

Have u tried doing a hardreset? My friend kena like urs before. No choice but to hard reset. Something about file sys error or some sort.

To hard reset, press and hold the red and green buttons together and press the reset pin simultaneously.

wokie, basically hardreset will wipe-off all the installed progrem and setting right? cuz i tried the way that u taught me, but it seems nothing change.... lemme try again.

Added on October 28, 2007, 11:21 pmkerazul!! thank you very much.... it works after hardreset!!!! but i need to reinstall everything.... but at least problem resolved... phew

Hi vicfirth,

Nice to hear that ur problem has been solved. Well, that's the dangers of playing around with custom ROMs. But ironically, in my friend's case, he was using ori ROM.
