A problem I'm encountering in downloading BtnPlus (to program the buttons w/ multiple functions) as well as many other programs for this Qtek is that the installers for ARMS/MIPS/SH3/CAB don't seem to work. My device says it has an Intel processor. How do I deal w/ this?
arm and xscale are intel
and are called arm most of the time
because xscale is what intel started to call the
arm cpu line after a while when they bougth them
if it dont work then maybe it's because of 2002 vs. 2003 incompatility

I want to try out a few games on my XDA2. Any recommendations?
Also what about compatability. I haven't seen the XDA2 listed as working with anything yet, but I'm sure that's not the case. For example with Doom, there's the following builds listed:
Doom4CE for Casio E-100/105/500
Doom4CE for HP Jornada 820
Doom4CE for Casio E-115,125, EM-500, EG-800
download Doom4CE for Compaq iPaq
Which one should I be looking for? In general, what PocketPCs are software compatabile with my XDA2.
Cheers,
Phil.
ipaq since i'm not too sure that those others are made for the arm cpu which xda and ipaq share
I just tried the RaymanUltimate demo and that was the ARM version and it worked fine. A little confusing since the user manual has the XDA2 having an Intel XScale 400MHz CPU. Is the manual wrong or are the Intel and ARM CPUs compatable with each other?
I'll try the iPaq version of Doom as see if that works.
Cheers,
Phil.
well once there were a company who made small riss cpus called arm
then intel went and bougth them and after awhile they changed the name of the cpu line from intel strong arm (Mhz) to XScale
lucky for us they remained code compatible
sure it's pretty confusing
and i'm sure there are some programs which take advantage of newer instructions of the XScale which will not run on arm but all arm programs should run on the XScale
of cause not all pocketpc 2002 works on wm2003 but games are mostly made from pure cpu instructions and does not use the winCE API so they are ok most of the time (excluded quake2 pocketpc which only works on 2003)
well why not get quake1 and 2 they are more impressive then doom?
i have quake1 installed and it's running just fine havent gotten around to messing with quake2 yet because it takes up about 32MB :/
also had wolfenstein running ok
but imho then it's near to imposible to control when one is used to
the mouse and keyboard combo
maybe if the ati media chip in xda2 become popular games will be made for it and will not run on xda1 and we'll be in a place like pc's and videocards
According to Skype the Minimum spec for skype to work with a pocket PC is 400mhz.
So it makes my think. Will it realy work well if it does work? I mean skype on there website say :
in order to use Skype for Pocket PC, your handheld must meet the following minimum system requirements:
* Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC
* 400 MHz processor
* WiFi-enabled
The XDA Mini pro is :
- Operating system Pocket PC " OK "
- Main processor type Texas Instrument OMAP 850 processor " Mmm"
- Main processor speed 195 MHz " I Dont think so , Well below half speed"
- RAM 64 MB
Ect..
You know what am thinking. It make me think are they meaning to do this so they can sell, make money and then later get one out at the orignal or faster processor.
Any advise or better confermation of skype actually working on the mini Pro would clear my mind and i would not think twice about getting it.
If it works with the processor being a fast bus speed or core speed or something to then runs Skypeat a usable level, Am definatly getting one !!
what you think or shall we just wait a few more days for someone to actully try skype on it. " I think al wait"
Yes it works, see: http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archive/2005/09/22/472831.aspx#473362

Thanks for the reply !!
According to the sites you have posed. i feel confident in buying one now, for skype !
even if not for skype. i would get one for sat nav and everything else.
Best all in one gadget i have came across!!!
Thanks again !
Hello,
I'm planning to buy a new pocket pc, my choice would be the qtek9100 or the qtek2020i. I've spend a lot of time reading and comparing, and need to know some information from the people who own a qtek9100.
1) Is the qtek9100 able to playback mp3 and run tomtom5 at the same time? I'm asking this because of the omap 850 (ti) cpu and the 64 mb internal memory, I know the omap has a different architecture then the xscale (intel) cpu and can not be compared butt when I use the device in my car I want it to be able to playback mp3 and show navigation at the same time.
3) Is it possible to use skype? Because the minimum requirments of skype is based on 400mhz intel cpu, I don't know how much the omap scores on the intel mhz scale.
2) Is it possible to playback video, without dropping frames?
I have serious doubts about the performace of the 9100 for the things I want to use the device. Any comments from owners would be welcome.
Does anyone know if its possible to put wm5 on qtek2020i? I tought I had read that wm5 is universal and works on any pda, just a matter of drivers.

Has anyone seen or noted any differences between Omapclock and XCPUSCalar for overclocking the MDA? Obviously XPCU is not free, but I'm curious if anyone has gotten better/different results between them. The newest version, 2.93, claims MDA support.
I just checked the website and it only works with the MDA Compact which is different than the MDA Vario.. so XCPUSCalar does not work with HTC Wizard devices..
MDA Vario is not using an XSCALE processor is it?
XCUScalar
We have no choice but to use Omapclock. Wizard uses TI OMAP processor !! not Intel Xscale.
I'm not arguing, but I'm confused why ARM apps run on the MDA them. Is it an emulation mode, whereas an overclocker has to be direct for the specific CPU?

The Texas Instruments OMAP & the Intel Xscale are both ARM based processors.
you are right but changing clock of processor requires cpu specific code. omap does not equal xscale! it is a complete different hardware structure (which is of course able to execute arm-code).
hope this explains why xcpuscalar does not work on omap cpu and why omapclock does not work on xscale cpu.

Cheers. I do realise that though. I was replying to the previous post asking why ARM apps in general can run on the MDA, by saying that the OMAP & Xscale are both ARM, therefore ARM apps can run on the MDA.
sorry for asking a dumb question but whats the advatange's of over clocking....my Vario runs at 195 tops and I've never seen it run slow....even after playing games and 6hours of mp3 music playing...
if you overclock the speed doesnt that mean the phone gets very hot and may cause internal damange to delicate chips etc?
:?:
If you don't have a problem with the device running slow, then I don't think you need to worry about overclocking.
I use my Wizard for all kinds of media and I find that overclocking it helps performance in that respect.
your lucky, most of us have to overclock to make the thing useable
must be the tmobile crap cos mine takes about 2 minutes to boot up as well :x
well my boot time takes ages cos of spb weather+today plug ins and windows media plug ins....but i can use my device and the only thing that slows it done with me noticing is active sync...
I brought this up.... because the latest XCPUScalar 2007 supports OMAP.
Wondering of anyone has tried it. If i'm not mistaken, i think it has a feature wherein it will step-up and step-down the proc based on load.

I am using XCPUScalar 3.0 and it is quite good. It is more user friendly than Omapscaler.
It can put cpu meters both on tray or taskbar, so you can see the current speed and tap to make changes.
On HTCs webpage there is the following update:
19/12/2007
Bluetooth Hot Fix (for HTC Touch™)
Dropped calls sometimes occur when Bluetooth is on. If you encountered the same problem, please download this Bluetooth Hot Fix and install it on your device.

However it is listed for the Touch and not the Touch Dual. Has anyone tried it , or know if our machines are compatible or not?
Thanks

you know ... htc touch isnt a qualcomm device?? what make your PC if you install a driver for a not existing card/ic/function??
Ok I take that as a "no", I wasn't sure of the differences. Thanks.

Although the processor core is the same on both devices, albeit run at a different clock speed.
Agreed though - it wouldn't be advisable to install a patch designed for a different device.
the core is the same :-> ahm ... no ... not realy!
TI OMAP 200MHz with a ARM9 Core for OS
Qualcomm 7200 has 400MHz with a ARM11 Core for OS
Both device have different Blue Tooth Chipsets
:->
