t-mobile europe

I can imagine how annoying this can be,
silly questions and such,
I have a t-mobile phone (pw10a1),
and I was wondering which rom to cook,
or whether I can use the one posted here?

Since its a T-Mobile I'd go with ROM 4.00.16.
HTH

I'm using the ROM version 4.00.16(T-Mobile) with T-Mobile's newest radio stack 6.24.00.
(Kitchen Cooked)
Been the best this phone has ever worked! No more dropped calls, no more much of any problems!

Poor Reception on XDA I in Sydney Australia on Optus -

Dear All,
I currently have an XDA I
ROM Version: 4.00.05 ENG
ROM Date: 06/05/03
Radio Version: 4.21.00
Protocol Version: 32S554
Using the Optus Service in Sydney Australia I am having dramas with the phone loosing signal but more importantly not restablishing a network connection when I am in areas that have excellent coverage. My questions are:
1. Am I using the best radio/rom etc?
2. Is there any tweeks etc I can perform on the XDA I to improve performance.
Many thanks, Andrew
PS hanging out for Optus to release the XDA II on a good price 8)

Andrew,
Where did you get that ROM version from?
My XDA I used to suffer from similar problems on both Optus and Tel$tra until I upgraded to ROM 3.20.06 ENG with Radio 4.21.00 (from MYXDA.COM official release).
I'm now on Vodafone which is significantly cheaper for my usage level, and although it still generally has less signal than a normal GSM phone, it rarely if ever fails to reconnect quickly.
If you have the technical nouse to do so, you might consider downgrading to this ROM. Since your'e in Oz too, I'd happily send you a CD copy of the ROM.

I downloaded the ROM from Yorks Kitchen. I can't remember the URL but it's here on XDA Developers. I did this so that I could run the Windows Mobile 2003 on my XDA 1. The phone windows software is better but the reception is crappy. We'll it's ok but I think it could be better. On another note I rang Optus sales today and asked about the XDA II, their reply "er.........I really don't know.........sorry". What a shame. I guess ebay is the best option.

Andrew,
Was the phone reception better prior to upgrading the ROM?
BTW - Telstra Shop have the i-mate for $1329 for 1 (or $1289 or similar for 2) if you purchase outright. This is the same device as the XDA II.

Codenix,
Thanks for your reply mate. The reception was better before I upgraded to WM2003. The reception I have now is not that bad but It's definitely not excellent. It's when the signal drops and it has to re-connect that the problem arises. I don't really want an Imate and I wanna stay with Optus to avoid the hassles and keep using the feel time after 8pm etc. Thanks,
Andrew.

i had similar problem with this radio stack & was a pain in the ass since i couldn't change its version, i finally downloaded version 3.25 which was in all cases better, the signal indicator doesn't show much but it is much much much better than the version 4.21 since it doesn't disconnect & picksup signal easly

RADIO Version-problem (from Moscow-Russia)

Which version of Radiosteck will be better in Moscow-Operator Beeline (900/1800)? Today is 4.21.00 by O2. But it is not so sensitive-Nokia N-Gage was on 100% better
Sorry for terrible English

I think you can't do nothing. Or try at your won risk the latest Radio stack for T-Mo from yorch.net Just for your info: O2 with RS you mentioned is working perfectly on MTS. As my T-Mo ibidem ;-)

I think the best for 900/1800 MHz is the Qtek 3.25.01 ... but yes it's risky to update the RSU if not REALLY needed ... the O2 4.21 showed to be the most nightmare for all RSU upgrades.

4.21.00-working good in Moscow-but only with MTS
Beeline missed network from time to time-it is feature of their equipment
With I-Mate PPC (XDA-2) its allright :twisted:

May be you're right. BTW, on my T-Mo configs any band (800 or 1800) aren't selected

What Rom Upgrade do i use for I-mate Jam USA version (850)??

i see theres the new rom 1.12. can i use the WWE rom with my 850Mhz jam???
also...what is the Original ROM on the Jam 850Mhz as in US version. 850 as the BAND/FREQUENCY....not speed!!

850 MHz Jam? wtf?!?!?!?!??!

wouldn't that give you like 3 minutes of battery life and then just melt? WTF is right

nah its easy upgrade....
just solder a P4 3ghz in and under clock it !
battery life is a bit short but its great for keeping your hands warm on a cold day

May be mack ment GSM-850, not 850MHz CPU... :wink:
IMHO - In that case difference can be only in radio ROM.

you guys miss understood my question....obviously theres no such thing as jam running at speeds 850Mhz.....i was asking about the band....they also use "Mhz" to denote the band. IE my jam has 850 Mhz/1800 Mhz/1900 Mhz.
to make it easier i'll just say Jam PM10C or USA version if you guys dont understand 850Mhz.

everyone has gotten caught up in a misquote and has complete circumvented the original question. What ROM is the most stable for US networks....
I am using ROM 1.11 with a .cab file fix that I got from the following location:

But as you can see from my posts there, my MMS still is not working. GRRR. I'm getting closer though. Any input would be helpful.
