Radio 4.14 is only a test build and is not for commercial release, it should not have been placed on the web, but that's another story. The agreed radio for CE 3.14.13 is Radio 4.08.
Radio 4.14 has a number of issues with support of certain kinds of SIM cards and problems receiving SMS. This has now been replaced with 4.16 which is under test. If the European build of 4.16 successfully passes testing it will be made available to yourselves, and then the general public at that stage.

Word has it (some part of) O2 has left 4.16 in favour of 4.17, and will release this after some more testing.
4.14
What are O2 on about. Radio 4.14 was included in the Irish update.

Yes, we know. They know. But after the fact they are unhappy about distributing it.
ahhh
i understand now. I thought that when they said "on the web" they meant some hackers site - not their own. I guess someone's hand slipped!! LOL

Im using it right now....rom 3.14.17ENG Radio 4.16.....it works fine
:wink:
The Truefax thing on www.myxda... looks exactly what I want.
Will it work with UK latest i.e. ROM 3.14.13 and Radio 4.16? - it mentions 3.14.17, but some sites say the last .xx is not really a vital issue. I'm ok with PCs, but a bit wary of destroying my XDA with Asian flu and/or their Rom update.
Also, I note that it overwrites some .dll "just say yes" and that the KSE support looks a bit iffy - so keen, but nervous here.
thanks for any info
p.s. I bought the XDA assuming it would be a bit of a flakey toy (don't possess a separate mobile by choice) and was really waiting for the Intel design to come out - but have been bowled over by it in all honesty. I'm not a 'poser' by nature, but when people have expressed an interest and I've demonstrated it it really is amazing how jealous people get. The phone bills are less than expected too.
"OK, you can let go of my arm. Can I leave the showroom now?"
I heard from O2 today. The latest update (4.20 / 3.16.32) will not be release. This is due to some bugs (a few which I pointed out, and probably some more in beta testing). They are working on a new release, which should be available soon (6 weeks was mentioned).
I'll keep you posted.
so the new customers ARE being used as beta testers....
hmmm now let me see... no wonder the XDA runs an MS operating system, they are SO much like Microsoft as it is !!! lol.
arf arf
Noo, not a beta.
To cut a long story short, my XDA broke at the weekend. Fortunately it was in warranty so O2 sent me a new one. I was delighted to see a new version of software on it. O2 are now (well on mine anyway) shipping...
ROM: 3.16.32 ENG
Radio Ver: 4.20.00
Protocol Ver: 32S54
Well I have not yet revived a call on it. And as for the SMS there is still no contact name (Sigh).
Well if any one here something I should look out for let me know. And if you want to know any of the new bits post back here and I will try to help out.
update
i have had my new 64mb xda for a few weeks and it works much better then my 32 mb i am on 3.16 rom and 4.20 radio it only froze once on me and i have put loads of different stuff on it. its fine at the moment i am playing with some mms software

There isnt?
you tried this proggy I take it ?
almost as if it is an official update
http://www.penreader.com/PocketPC/SMS_Name.html
sms name
You need to store number in +44 for the SMS fix to work on 31632... just like the Orange SPIV phone.
Not convinced
I'll not be trusting o2 + M$ for a while again.
I'm looking at Orange next...
The XDA works well in principle. But as we can see the bugs are just too many to make people interested. Makes a good toy though!!
Sorry for the posting looking like an obvious one, but I currently have ROM version 4.00.21 with RSU 6.24. Is 6.24 the latest? I saw somewhere on this and other boards mention of a 6.28 RSU but cannot find it anywhere
Am I on a wild goose chase, or does 6.28 exist ? Just want to be able to use my phone downstairs in the house as well as upstairs Hoping that 6.28 , if it exists, provides better signal than 6.24.
thanks

There are "Two" who might know, but for some unknown reason they're
not telling.... whats up Yorch!
Okay, yesterday afternoon, at the Mobility & Wireless Conference I met up with a T-Mo tech and account reps who confirmed that the 2k3 upgrade will be made available and be very soon, but cannot provide a date. They really want to make sure it is bug free and that they do not want to experience a Toshiba-like fiasco. They did not have an MDA available, although they said something about 11/1; however, their MDAs on display were already running 2k3! They allowed me to do a soft-reset and this is what I saw:
Same "Not for sale" T-Mobile splash screen as seen on 4.00.16 and .21.
ROM v.4.00.03
RS v6.23
:shock: :shock: :shock:
- they stated that it has been running very well and stable and that this is their "x-th" build they've been exposed to. They are very aware of the versions tested on the forums here, but didn't really want to comment other than the later builds maybe buggy and warranty being voided, yada, yada, yada...and we left it at that.
They did reassure though that they want to release the most stable and well tested build as that is what the customers deserve - that is the reason for the delay.

I'm wondering how could T-mobile to make sure it is bug free .
all Microsoft products are full of bugs!
I have IPAQ with WM2003, it is buggy software. system crashes/frozens are very offen!
That's just bizzare! Their devices were running older builds than we have been running here!?
I'd certainly be happy for them to wait to get any radio stack bugs out....since there is certainly room for improvement.
Anyone ever seen radio stack 6.23?
..lance
I'm still curious as to the radio stack version that was stripped out of the 4.00.21 ROM...
T-mobile wants to make sure it is bug free . at least we need wait another 20 years!
the radio stack comes with 4.00.21 is 6.24.
if you need I could send to you!

so please check back again.
T-Mobile provides the largest Global GSM/GPRS network so you can access the information you need when you need it.
WorldClass International device for global access (dual band: 900 & 1900 MHz).
Additional ?
Do you know any info ?
* version
* radio
* additions ..
And bw ... where have you found this info ?
Thanks,
Decebal
This info was posted on pocketpcthoughs.com yesterday, I don't know how Janak over there found it. I tried looking for it through T-Mo's website but couldn't locate the page (perhapse I'm daft on that today).
I'm assuming its similar to the builds we've been seeing here in terms of versions.
There's only one person that I know of that has the info. you seek.
Maybe he'll read this thread and post it later on, we hope! :wink:

Hi all,
Qman, you're right! I'll post a hint of the latest
I'm currently in touch with a T-Mo rep in testing out a newer ROM and RS. I am patiently (actually anxiously) awaiting a test copy of:
ROM v4.00.39
RS 6.24.01
- as for any new additions on it I will not know until I see it (hopefully before the end of the week). He did however, hint that it very well may be the final release version announced, except that it lacks IMEI. In other words, the one coming out may be the same one I am about to test, but will include IMEI.
BTW: I seem to believe RS 6.28 may actually be a myth until cgigate or someone else actually shares it to all of us.
You're the man Rey and thanks! :wink:
Also drop me a email with a few details on how the Microsoft Pocket PC/Smartphone Users Group Tour went on Monday.
Actually, we have experienced bad T-mobile WM2003 upgrade (test version).
Too many problems to use T-mobile (US) customized WM2003 version, it is not good for non-T-mobile users
As I was just checking the t-mobile website, I noticed the link to the free upgrade notice has been removed. The direct URL still works and the page has not yet changed however. I guess that means either a) the upgrade will be available really really soon or b) the release has been postponed. Let's hope it's a. :|
Any news about the upgrade? Anyone talk to T-Mobile this week?
J
I'm testing it right now...so far no SD erasures (like in .21 and prior) and some nice refinements in the themes and default page - a "Set up email" tickler on the Today screen. RS 6.24.01 testing out really well for me so far. I'm under a casual NDL - and will go over what I can share here with T-Mobile next week.

That's great.
If you can you tell me:
1. what version number ?
2. how much space do we have for additional apps ?
3. any apps or mods significantly different since .21 ?
4. ETA for official release (probably next week ) ?
Thanks,
Decebal
Hi -
I want to be detailed next week, on the count of I'm in the middle of moving to a new house, packing for a cruise to Ensenada, and having just become a Contributing Editor for www.mpx200.org :shock:
but I will confirm this so far:
ROM version: 4.01.00
RS 6.24.01
So does this mean that there might be an Upgrade for the 02 XDA as well?
Does anyone have any updated information on the official release of WM2003 from T-Mobil?
Thanx.
Keep your eyes open on this board. I'm sure as soon as they post it on their website, it will be BIG news here!
Thanx Greg. I'm waiting as fast as I can....just thought someone would have an update on the progress. :roll:
The web page is gone
I tried to go to the web page this morning and it is gone. Are they releasing it today, maybe?
http://www.t-mobile.com/promos/ppc2003/default.asp
I'm just awaiting a reply from my contact before I can divulge anymore - overall, though, I'm very satisfied with this version I've been testing - no SD card erasures yet (cross my fingers). Investigating a couple of things though...
