Rogers HTC Dream 911 emergency
p2pnet news view | Mobiles:- The Rogers HTC Dream has turned into a nightmare for the company.
It’s been “pulled off the shelf from all locations and online”, says e-Canada.
Why the scramble?
Because an “urgent software fix is needed for 911 calls to be completed”, says Mobile Syrup.
“Kinda important. All Dream owners were contacted by text message about the issue.”
Rogers says it’s “expediting a software fix” which’ also “provide several other improvements”, says e-Canada, noting the company has asked “all customers turn off the GPS receiver until further notice so that all 911 emergency calls complete” until it’s in hand.
It gives four steps to the GPS receiver on the HTC Dream:
1. Press the Menu button.
2. Select Settings
3. Select Location
4. Uncheck Enable GPS Satellite
