First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who posts to this forum - I've been reading it for a month or so now and am constantly impressed with the quality of the knowledge here, especially the developers...
I have a QTEK 1010 bought here in Dubai, UAE, with the following device info:
ROM version: 4.00.01 ENG
ROM date: 05/16/03
Radio version: 3.23.01
Protocol version: 32S54
I have found that browsing using IE feels slower, and have the feeling that this version of the ROM does not work well with the radio version. Does anyone reading this forum live in the UAE? I'd like to upgrade the Radio, but need to know which version works best with Etisalat (our Telco).
Any comments much appreciated!
Thanks, Doms...
P.S. I'm going to upgrade the ROM to 4.00.05 when I get the opportunity
hi, i am from dubai and i am using 4.00.1 from t-mobile and 4.21 from o2, so far everything fine just when i reset the t-mobile logo appears.
do you have bluetooth option in that version and your version was already installed or you upgraded yourself?
Use the o2 Radio Version 4.21 it will work fine...
Thanks for the responses guys. Does this new radio version provide any benefits over the one I have?

1) The QTEK does not support Bluetooth, and there is no way to make it work on a QTEK either.
2) There is no Bluetooth option in any of my menus or settings (I would expect this as my device does not support Bluetooth). Windows PPC2003 is supposed to be able to support Bluetooth, however: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/products/pocketpc/about/2003/bluetooth.mspx
3) I upgraded to the 4.00.05 version of Windows PPC2003 myself using Jeff's ROM Kitchen (thanks Jeff!) http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/
Hi, Once i had 4.00.01 and in connection setting i had Bluetooth option but ofcourse it was not working, the other thing is do you know any camera work with SD port of Qtek? i mean something availble in the market.
4.21 is more stable i think.
cheers,
I had some problems when making calls on my QTEK yesterday. While in a voice conversation audible clicking noises can be heard and after about 1 minute of conversation the quality of the call deteriorates until the other party cannot hear me. I'll try upgrading the radio...
I don't know about the camera support using the SD slot in the QTEK. My first instinct would be to say no, it's not possible, but I can't confirm that...
I bought a Qtek 1010 in Dubai Duty Free the other week. I've since upgraded the ROM using ROMkitchen and am delighted with it. One thing I did notice though is that the speakerphone functionality (claimed in the Qtek handbook) doesn't seem to work. I didn't try it before I upgraded so can someone tell me if it works with the native UAE ROM code, and if so does anyone have any idea how I could get it working again?

I own a QTEK in the UAE and here is my share to those asking about OS and Radio updates here:
I upgraded from
ROM version: SER 1.2
Radio version: 3.23.01
To
ROM version: 4.00.10 ENG (T.Mobile Test)
Radio version: 4.21.00 (O2 UK)
Everyting seems to work fine apart from 2 minor issues so far:
Make sure you set your band to 900Europe as the default is 1900North America in phone/tools/options
The signal fades out sometimes but doznt affect the reception
No G signal but GPRS is OK.
GPRS stays connected; have to turn phone off and on to disconnect.
Advice:
Read a lot before you upgrade. This forum has a wealth of information.
Cheers

I have problems with the phone side of my XDA.
It keeps turning off by itself every 20 or so minutes.
I have upgraded to
ROM 4.21.00 ENG
Radio 4.21.00
Protocol 32S54
Still no changes. PDA worksfine but phone still turns off by itself.
Any sugestions please.
Thanks
what's your device type ... PW10A or B (rear sticker) ? and what's the band width of your network ?
also, does the phone work fine before turning off ?
did u upgrade the RSU or the ROM only and where/how did u do the upgrade ?
It's PD10A1 originaly on O2
The phone works fine while is on.
I upgraded via ActiveSync
First the ROM and than the RSU
Both upgrades successful
Did the same before the upgrade while using Developers special ROM.
I tried all diferent options in phone setup but no change.
Any Sugestions
this may or may not be help full but when I upgraded my radio stack on the o2 XDA 2 with the I-Mate Radio Stack, OS and Ex Rom it worked fine, however when I changed the Ex Rom with the O2 Ex Rom the phone stopped working.
The work around can be seen in this forum but I cant find it at the moment. Hope this helps?
hello everyone! im AL from philippines. it's nice to be here. anyway, i want to thank the people responsible for this site...it did actually help me before.
well, i have an xda wallaby. my brother-in-law gave this to me as a present when he came home from U.S. and during that time, the device was sim-locked to T-Mobile. I accidentally clicked something and voila!, I was here downloading the sim unlocking software. It eventually worked but after using for a couple of months, the device just bugged. My phone can no longer find a signal. I tried to re-install the software which I downloaded and still, the problem persist. As for the other apps, I ahve no problem though.
Here are the details of of xda:
ROM version : 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date : 05/15/03
Radio version : 6.02
Protocol version : 324e4
Model Number : PW10A1
by the way, i also opted to change the ROM version.
PEEPS, can you please help me on this. I am planning to bring this device next month to UAE. Thanks a lot and i would appreciate for a quick reply.
Again, thank you everyone! Cheers!

Are you sure about this? Radio Version 6.xx are for PW10B models. Please check the rear sticker of the device for the exact model and do not use the output of the software....
Have you tried searching manually for a network? Which frequencies are used on the philipines 900, 1800 or 1900 MHz?
Maybe you inserted something wrong in the band selector, and your device is running in the wrong frequency. You can assign the correct frequency via band selector or in the bootloader.
If you haven't used the device for a while, is your sim card still active. Maybe it's out of order or anything else happened to it....
Stefan
LumpiStefan has right :
If your device is pw10A1 then you must use a radio stack 4.xx like 4.21 for example and select the good frequencies with band selector.
folks,
thank you sooo much for the reply.
as for the model, the sticker says it's PW10B1. i am using an active SIM. i posted the topic last night but when i got back in the office this morning, everything was back to normal. but again, i still dont get it...all of a sudden the signal came out of nowhere. hehehe! really, thank you for your posts and cheers!
God Bless!
maybe it's because your country use 900/1800 ?
in that case the phone would only work when it's getting a 900 signal ?
after i receive the xda, i automatically unlocked it using the software you guys unselfishly shared to me. and it worked! but after using it for like 4 months (not sure...probably this long), it just stopped getting a signal. i re-installed the same software but it did nothing. so, i decided to post this topic last night...and this morning, it went well again...for no reason at all. i am pretty sure i didnt change any settings. anyway, i am VERY GLAD you guys came to the rescue...even though my device just "cooperated" without being bugged(by me...hehehe!).
please, can someone tell me best radio rom for wallaby pw10a1?
any answer to this question.. i'm curious too
I cant help you..... I have a pw10b1 but my software now says pw10a1?!
All I wanted was to unlock my tmobile phone so i can use it for Cingular

The model identificatin in the ROM is fixed. Check always the rearsticker to identify your device. If you have a PW10B than it will stay (hardwarelike) a PW10B device....
Stefan
still the real question is not answered
Also anticipating inputs from other PW10A1 users. As for me, the only radio I can flash on my Wallaby is 4.21. The 4.16 radio always has the 1% error failed. 4.21 works for me but I'm not that happy since the signal tends to drop intermittently at times. Had experiences of calls being cut and SMS not received.
Hi friends.Just got a new wizard for myself few days back I am sorry if this has already been covered.I have tried to search but with no luck at all.
I am facing a strange problem ever since i got the phone.The problem is that when someones sends an sms to me,i receive no notification on my phone.The sender gets a delivery report for the sms but I cannot see the sms on the phone.There is neither any notification nor is it visible in inbox.But this problem is only intermittent i.e it happens only some times.At other times,everything works as it should.This issue also happens at times when someone calls me.The phone rings at their end but i see no notification/no missed call..nothing..
Will updating Radio version help ?
Currently using:
ROM Version 2.16.9.1 WWE
Radio Version: 02.07.10
IPL: 2.16
SPL: 2.16
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
Upgraded to T-Mobile 2.26 with radio 2.25.11!! But Still no luck !! Anyone please ?
To me, that sounds more like a network problem than a device problem, especially since it's intermittent. You should probably call and report the problem to your service provider and see what they have to say.
The radio version seems .. not too good. What ROM are you using? try using an official ROM? Try using my version of Radio.
