I'm thinking about installing this new one. Has anyone done it? Have any thoughts yet? I'm kind of disappointed they removed AIM from there. Nice to have that in ROM. Saves some storage memory.
Anyway, if anyone has any reports on stability, etc, let's hear it.
Also, does this one come with another radio stack?
seems ok
seems ok for now. no radio in the distribution we got (only nbf ).
from my poin of view it's wiser without aim because i can stick up more content suited to my needs.
no stability problems (though only 8 hours )

FYI
The hard reset after bootloader mode has been fixed if you want to count that, its a big plus in my book. 8)
It doesn't appear to be fixed, at least for me. Hard reset after bootlader is still exist.
I thought about upgrading to the new one, but everything's working just fine under 4.0.0.16, so maybe I'll stick with whats working for now.
Then I won't have to reinstall all my apps.

Why not just do a full backup, upgrade, and then just do a restore
Restoring from a backup after a ROM upgrade is not a good idea, because the older files will override the newer ones in-turn causing you all kinds of trouble.

Sorry to hear that mine is still holding strong with no hard setting, call me lucky I guess!
BTW anybody else not getting the hard reset after going onto the bootloader?
Hi All, i cooked up a .16 ROM in Jeff's Kitchen (thanks Jeff you are a legend).
Only 1 new problem with my device, it's the backlight....seems to turn off after the timeout even when i'm using my device.....strange. Never had this problem before.
I've also noticed that my problem with contacts not opening and having to sort reset the phone to resolve the problem is still evident. This has been with 4.00.01, .05 & now .16
Anyone got the above problems with .21????? I'm going to wait to upgrade, from what i can see the changes in the .?? releases are vendor apps etc.
Cheers
Steve
PS - i was brave and cooked up an exe install, it worked just fine.

I've had the .16 rom do that too me before also. Wonder if that's fixed in the new 4.0.0.21? Hmmm
Where can I gett xx.21. As far as I can see not through the ROM Kitchen

The problems I've been noticing since this upgrade are slowness, the occasional freezing, and loss of signal (more so than before). I might try re-installing to see if this helps at all.

After having no problems since Friday, I noticed the same issues happening to me last night...
The backlight turning off on me while I'm using it...a soft-reset solves it.
Other apps freezing resulting in me to do a soft reset.
I never had these problems w/.16, so I'm considering switching back; however, seeing Ronin's post:
I spent about 3 hours with a Microsoft Windows Mobile developer( from Microsoft) and he explained that our suspicions on Themes and hardware and SD resets are correct.
The versions of our T-Mobile and X2 WM 2003 were provided to T-Mobile in the early part of February. The OEMs worked on their versions to incorporate their unique "features" and there is a conflict in the way WM2003 Phone edition addresses memory calls (to ROM or SD cards)and WM2003 function.
The memory calls are typically made once a Theme switch is made. Remeber themes not only change Today's screen, but all other colors in the apps. Somehow, our WM PE overrides the memory allocation on the SD cards, renaming them and causing our erasures. This will sometimes happen when we get an SMS or have a custom ring or sound profile installed or after a soft reset.
So no solution for the issue other than " the lock" button. The default theme is a good alternative, but I suspect we will still have some more erasures related to this memory addressing issue.
Furthermore, it is unlikely that T-Mobile or other OEMs will fix the issue on their own volition...They are having many challenges with stable stacks and custom builds!!!

- I might just consider going back to v3.17 w/the ATT Radio stack
strange, i started developing problems with .21 yesturday too!
first the internet kept getting disconnected, i thought it was the GPS cozin it. but then at night the backlight started acting up. even when im using the device. a note on that tho, if i play movie clips, the light stayed on! it was a 12 minute clip, it stayed on the whole time, once it was over, light turned off.
also, i notice the gprs internet is extremly slower than b4
i must say, the ONLY thing i like about 2003 is the media player, it has better video rendering, i wish they made it installble on 2002
nothin wrong with that version. heh

I'm with you on the media player AND the slow GPRS...it's r-e-a-l slow. I wasn't sure if it was worth mentioning but your account of it confirms it for me.
great!
I updated to 4.0021. T-Mobile device bought in USA. I live in Europe.
Now I have band switcher, good GPRS connection (no breaks), auto-response.
One problem: some web page said me "you cannot open this page because your browser does not use cookies. please...." blablabla
?
I see this meeasge first time, previously PIE did it (shown) ok. I checked settings of PIE, cookies are running. Any ideas?
You know what, I've just done some connection tests at www.texan.net/speed.htm and I'm currently getting the following connection rates:
81.5kbps, 104kbps, 81.6kbps
I get these readings by going to that URL, and in a 10 minute period I would run a test twice at the beginning, then twice again on the 5th minute, and two more times on the 10th minute, using the 2nd reading each time (in order to get the reading with a cleared cache).
- with these speeds (I'm used to similar readings on my other WM2k3 PPCs and connecting via Sprint's CF2031) pages come up so quick, but on my T-Mobile MDA, running WM2k3 v4.00.21, w/RS6.24, plus my new 64MB onboard RAM from PPCTechs.com and 3 bars on the meter, pages are rendering much s-l-o-w-e-r than what they should.
Going back to either 4.00.16 or even 2k2 is starting to look even better right about now.
Since I upgraded to .21 I do not receive all my calls and do not getting some SMS messages.
I'm testing it until friday and if it keeps this way i'm going back this weekend to .16 which was very very stable and I liked very much.
<vent>
EVERYTIME I install something from SPB, I have had random problems..
a) XDA doesnt power up
b) XDA has to be reset.
Now, for over a month, I have not installed ANY SPB stuff.. and everything is smooth as whiskey!
</vent>
*whew* that felt good!
Strange I had never have that kind of problems and I have a lot of Spb softwares installed....
Interesting, I've never had any problems and I use THREE SPB software products.
:?:
SBP Products
I was using Pocket Plus.. w/ 1.72 Rom. And my PPC wouldn't power up and i had to pull the battery and do a hard reset. I haven't added any SBP Products and I haven't had any problems. Weather or not it's related, I won't know unless my PPC locks up again without SBP Products installed.
So I guess I'm the 2nd person that thinks that SBP is causing problems. Could be with my 1.72 rom version.
Personally I've had two Sudden Death Syndrome situations on my system (in about 2-3 months), requiring a hard reset, the first running Battery Pack Pro, then second when running PocketPlus 2.0.
I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with either SBP (PocketPlus) or Omega-1 (BatteryPack).
Phil
i havent had any issues since i removed that plus version before the new v2
i too had issues with it not wanted to turn on and i had to do a hardreset
Same for me went from Imate 1.52 ROM to 1.72 and it locked up on me. Would not turn on, hard reset. I did not put back on SPB plus 2.0 and I have had no problems at all. VERY stable, VERY fast.
Don't know but Im not putting SPB plus back on. Think their software does not like the microsoft service packs that were in 1.66 and 1.72
weird mine seems to be running fine on imate 1.72 rom :\
I don't think spb software stinks, I actually think most of it is pretty great. However I did email them about sudden hard reset syndome and PocketPlus 2, and they acknowledged there is a problem with some XDA IIs.
"This is a known bug that may occur on some XDA2 devices. We are working hard
to fix it in the next versions of Pocket Plus.
Feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.
Best regards,

As others have said - SPB Pocket Plus ver. 2 is working perfectly on my i-mate 1.72. I wouldn't be without it!
Pocket Plus 2.0 is prolly the best util i've ever found for my PPC
Not had any problems YET (hope i dont)
I had the same problem with Sprite backup but found a fix for it. Disable the option (stop processes when backing up) found in the backup settings and hopefully your device will not hangup.
I had a Hard Reset suddenly on my Qtec 2020(FW:1.66WWE)
It was Spb Pocket Plus.
Hard Reset
Okay.. I haven't ran any SBP software since my last Hard Reset crash. My PPC just crashed hard today.. Three hard resets in a row!! I'm thinking it's this Beta 172 rom from T-Mobile. :: sigh :: I'm going to downgrade and start using SBP again
I asked Spb if 2.1 has the XDA II fix and they said it did not.
I have been using SPB Pocket Plus, Full Screen Keyboard, GPRS Monitor, since my Xda I, and now on my Xda II with the addition of SPB Time, and I've never encountered any problems with my device that were related or caused by the SPB software. I also use Sprite Backup and dont have problems with it working with my SPB software either, in fact I have tons of other software installed too, and I've never had any problems with the SPB working with them too.
These softwares from SPB are among the most useful and have the highest priority in my software list for my device whenever I reinstall.
I've also tried running it with different ROMs for my Xda I, and the old O2 Xda II ROM asian ROM, and now with the O2 Xda II 1.60 asian ROM.
Not sure why you guys are having errors, maybe its the ROM version you are using, or maybe confict with some other software installed on your device.
I'm not defending SPB or anything, I'm Just sharing my experience.
The problem seems to be with the 1.66 and newer ROMs and only happens on the XDA II, not the original XDA. Spb confirms the problem, so that's why some of us are having problems- it is a real bug. I too love their products, but those are the facts. I hope a new version with the fix comes out soon!
On the Official XDA website, I noticed today that it states, that spb Pocket Plus is not compatably with XDA II.
"SpB Pocket Plus
For xda only, not compatible with Xda II. "
http://www.myxda.com/web/template/Shop.vm/category/Software
Its not clear if it refers to the latest version.
Although I have been running it on mine for long time, with no sudden hard resets (just multiple daily soft resets when it freezes - Rom 1.66).
no problems here either!!
i have lots of SPB software with NO problems whatsoever...
I think that this page on myxda.com is completely out of date. They wrote the same thing for Pocket Slideshow (which is wrong, of course)
I have a 850 I-mate JAM, and I installed the newest ROM. It was fine for like 2 days, and then every couple of days it would automatically reboot itself, wiping everything (except for me SD card) clean, and starting back up again from the beginning where you align the screen. I thought it was the newest ROM, so I download the orginal one and reinstalled it. Well it happened again, with the original ROM and its really annoying. It didn't start doing this until I installed the 1.11 ROM, but I reinstalled the old ROM and it still did it. Does anyone know a fix for this, or has this happened to anyone. I've only owned this thing for like 2 1/2 months.
I have a JAM850, running the latest 1.11 ROM and haven't found any issues yet. I'm running the following Today-Screen plugins: SPB PocketPlus, JournalBar, Rhinostat, SBSH Pocket Breeze, Pocket Syswatch.
I've heard of some hard reset issues involving Wisbar Advanced.
Are you running any special Today Screen apps?
Just SPB Pocket Plus (the latest version). Maybe it was just a small glitch, I'll play with it a little while longer to see if it happens again.
MDA Pro locks up unexpectadly!! Anyone else had this experience? My wifes MDA Pro for no apparent reason freezes or lock-up 2 - 3 times a day and then requires a soft-reset to be operational again. I every other aspect, it works perfectly, it's just those damn lock-ups. It results in missed calls etc, as the phone is then out of action and one wouldn't be aware of it until you pick it up to use it.
Have exchanged this phone twice in 2 weeks because of it! I believe it's the ROM, even though when not locked-up, it performs extremely well. I am considering flashing the ROM with the Jasjar Rom, as this is now stable.
Anyone tried and had success in doing this, and if so, how do you find it after the upgrade?
Extended rom not installed - no lock up so far
I had the same issue. A couple of lock ups per day. I decided to do a hard reset and when it tried to install the apps of the extended rom after the hard reset, I prevented this by soft resetting the MDA Pro.
Currently only the standard apps of WM5 is installed. So far I have not had any lock ups.

Hi simba:Thanks for the response.
That's great that you no longer suffer these issues of 'lock-ups', but do you know exactly what .cabs are omitted from install? The reason I ask, is that when you do this process on the jasjar ROM, you loose 3G video calling and the dialler skin. Have you noticed anything like that as yet?
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately I can not answer your question. I do not use 3G video calling. Also I did not missed any apps of T-mobile yet. I even noticed that without the extended rom apps, MSN is present on my MDA Pro. Probably when installing the extended rom, it removes MSN.
I have read on the forum that members have succeeded in getting the MDA Pro updated to Jasjar Rom. Be carefull tough, as your are actually 'killing' your MDA Pro and then reviving it.

Please elaborate. 'Killing the MDA Pro'? What just by flashing the ROM? :?
It's important I learn what you mean, because I'm seriously contemplating this exact move, as I'm tired of exchanging my wifes Pro for yet another one!
It's not dangerous. I am a girl and I challenge you to do it.
Anyway, if you need me to send the files that I used for flashing my MDA pro, just tell me, I could send/upload it. I keep it because *someone* (read PM) might need it later.

I can live with it!!
And there's me thinking it's a simple procedure like upgrading the ROM on the jasjar! Stupid me!
No way am I chancing a patched version of the ROM update and hoping I don't retire my wifes' Pro. I think we'll wait till November and use the t-mobile ROM when it comes out. Thanks all the same diana_wills. You're obviously more than just a techie....you've got bigger nuts than I'll have left if I get this wrong!

Yes there is at least 40MB storage space, but no 3G video calling! What else is missing from the omitted cab installation? I noticed a performance boost as well when not installing the extRom, but without knowing for sure what is left behind, I've had to revert to the full ROM.
There isn't anything missing apart from the t-mobile ****e!
All programs etc are there
Quick tip... I found that If you let the first two cabs install THEN press reset as the third one is loading, you'll have video calling and intellidialler back, but nothing else from the ExtROM. (This is on my JasJar, can't guarantee this'll work on the MDA Pro)
Hope this helps...
Thanks sub69. From my observations of hard resetting the MDA Pro, there seem to be some vital cabs being installed later on in the install, hence my reason for reverting to the full t-mobile ROM.
One thing i noticed by avoiding the cabs install was that my device had no mms support at all, neither in inbox or programs.
Where can you download the t-mobile roms when they are available, is there a site like my-xda ?
Adam
I just updated mine to the JASJAR rom, works mint now!
Has MSN and skype too!
Also you can select network when u set it up, and it installs all mms settings!
Hi, for some strange reason my wizard hangs at the boot screen some times after reseting after running spb backup. I have set spb to to a backup at 4am every alternate day so when i wake up in the morning i know my data is all backed up. It has worked fine for a while now but for some reason it just stays at the windows boot screen and when i wake up in the morning the battery is low It also happens sometimes when i regularly soft reset, and i found once the backlight turns off during reboot and i dont press a button to bring the backlight on it seems to hang then. Otherwise its fine. Its really quite frustrating because i use my wizard as an alarm clock and i was late to school today because it didn't go off because of this problem. Ive got oamp clock plus installed plus a few other tweaks but its never given me problems before. Its also a G4 wizard if that helps.
Thanks!!
you can always sell me your wizard
Install in main memory
Do you have it installed in main memory? I had this problem with an older version installed on the SD card. Moving it to main memory fixed the problem. Also, are you using the current version, which I think is 1.55
Its installed on the main memmory and i have version 1.12 build 2050. I think i might try 2 upgrade then and see what happens.
well i updated spb backup to the latest version and that doesnt seem to work. It now seems to freeze on the windows mobile screen on most soft resets, which are done from the os, ie installing a new program and being asked to soft reset..it freezes on that reset so i have to push the soft reset button. Is there any other options? i dont particularly want to do a hard reset as it would take me ages to tweak and install it all back up to scratch.

It doesn't sound to me like spb backup is actually the problem, if you can't install the program properly. I would recommend a hard reset. Since our system is working at the moment, you can be organized, copying setting files, my documents, etc. to the sd card. I can generally get back up and running with 95% of my tweaks after a hard reset in an hour. (It is worth keeping a file with program passwords, etc.) This is also a good time to upgrade your ROM, too. One flaw of Windows Mobile is that it doesn't uninstall programs properly, so that files get left. Eventually, a hard reset is a good idea to clean this stuff up.
By the way, an advantage of installing programs on the sd card is that they continue to work. Copy the shortcuts from windows/start menu onto the sd card and you can replace them without reinstalling. Most require reinserting the passwords, however. The programs that shouldn't go on the sd card are programs that (i) have a today plugin (ii) backup programs and other programs that have to perform a soft reset and continue to operate. SD cards don't start up right away coming out of a soft reset, so may not be available when needed in these instances.
Same with Sunnysoft Backup Manager
I have the same problem with SBM, both version 3 and 4. I did notice that it was hung up, I unplugged it and the backup started working. I do not know why, but it helped.
Alrighty then looks like ill have to do a hard reset. Is there a thread that will show me the right way to back up contacts etc and generally make a hard reset easier. I have a G4 wizard thats locked so im not so confident in upgrading my rom. Crossbow would be nice tho. I did manage to install spb back up to the main memmory on the ungrade but that didnt solve my problem. Oh well i guess its time to clean out ye old wizard on the weekend. Geez there goes my HSC.
Thanks.
Outlook
I sync with outlook, which preserves my contacts through a rom upgrade. If you upgrade the ROM you can't use the backup file -- contacts are stored in another form. I hear that it is possible to sync with Yahoo intellisync to the web, but I haven't personally tried it. In any case, syching seems to be the recommended means of saving that information. Don't forget to save your files, although those you can get from a backup.
FYI, I've been having the same problem (i.e., auto-backup, soft reset, FREEZE) since I installed the newest Faria ROM AKU 2.2.
The commonality, I think, might be the latest version of Omap Plus. There also seems to be a problem in general with this ROM of doing soft resets whilst USB is connected (which is how I do my nightly backups/resets).
If you haven;t done that hard reset yet, you might want to wait a day or two... I'll run some experiments tonight to see if Omap is the problem.
Alrightly ill wait, its wierd that it could be oamp clock plus as i have been using that for a while with no real problems. its only over clocked to 216mhz and that just makes it a bit more, lets say, perky than its regular clock speed. Im using OS 2.16... original I-mate Kjam rom on a G4 wizard. Im tossing up whether to pay 50 buks Aus. and get it unlocked, thats a fair amount of cash for some one who lives off bittorrent
I'd be surprised if OMAP is the problem
I've never had a problem with Omap. I'm using whatever came with Faria 3.3, which I assume is the latest. I've had one failed backup (it was only 48KB instead of the normal 5.5MB, so something failed) but otherwise no problems.
yeh, well ive been doing some more playing around with my phone and it just keeps stuffing up. I think its time to do a hard reset to clean out the junk n stuff. I think a G4 CID unlocking program is in the works that will be out soon. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293080 check out the pics.
Thanks.
Same problem here, also started out in February.. Unfortunately, can only offer my company for having this problem. I even tried a hard reset and then restore some old backup but with the same hanging... Windows Mobile really confuses me... I guess it is the "save to flash" thing that happens after a few seconds and not immediately.. Please keep me posted on your problem... I have been soft resetting almost 4 times a day daily since the start of February...
Sorry, no answers. OMAP Plus is fine.; for me, the problem seems to be being on the USB plug. SPB Backup works fine otherwise.
Well i could wait any longer, so i flashed with molskis G4 aku2.3 rom, i had to flash with wizard_love rom first to get the os upgraded but then flashed again with molskis to get the cuztomisations. all on a locked G4. Awsome. Its so fast now compared to before. And well i think it solved the problem as well. I think we should contiue this thread so as to find a solution other than reflashing, as i was up until 1am fixing it all up again.
Thanks!
duh... yup, I am still a newbie to flashing new roms...
Did you CID unlock your G4? ;-)
nah havent cid unlocked my G4, duno if it really worth the money. I think i can wait until the boys at the G4 unlocking project work something out. They always seem to. At least i think my G4 is locked, i bought it off a friend who i dont think even knew what sort of phone it was. ohh well im happy with my mollski.
I don't know but there is all these "I bricked my phone" thing going around with G4 wizards. I also considered Molski's but back off after reading all these negative responses...
Fair enough, i havent had any problems with molskis aku 2.3 rom and it has some nice customisations as well. i tell you what tho, my phone has never booted up qicker since i installed the molski rom. if only for that reason i would do it. were talking less than a minute, my older rom took ages.
