I can see quite interesting topic on this forum. All to better me understand my new XDA II. Well, I bought it from my friend, so its technically a new-used PDA phone.
As it is my first PDA phone, i'm quite happy with my purchase. Not the fastest and latest gadget, but still quite popular from where I live.
For a new user like me, would you kindly let me know some helpfull tips?? For example, as I bought if from my friend, should I perform a full reset? There isn't a problem or glitch that I can see off, but any advice will do. Or maybe some application/software that is nice to download??
I stumble into one problem though. It concerns with the camera. The manual says that I can take/record video. (p.148 of the manual) But if I go to the camera mode, there is no way to change into the video mode. Where is the Video Capture Submode? can someone can verify this?
I think that's enough questions for one day... i welcome to your advice and suggestions... tanx in advance...

Hello
So far over thirty views on this post and not one response.
If i have to pay for a fix i will.
It would be nice if someone could help thats all.
PLEASE
Well I've spending most of my time trying to find the thread that has already addressed this issue, but have been unable to locate it.
Anyhow if I remember correctly the thread talked about leaving the unit in the cradle while on until it booted on its own.
HTH

I think you are mistaking this forum for a paid-for support service.
If you look for Radio Stack Upgrades on this forum (or any place else on the net), you would notice lots of things can go wrong during these upgrades. These problems appear to stem from various sources, and there's not one easy solution. Our official advice is never to upgrade the RSU until you really, really, really have to, and know that the upgrade will fix know issues that are bothering you. You would also see your general question has been dealt with in detail many times before, which may be the reason people did not jump to answer your question promptly.
On recovery from RSU problems: many people have claimed success from various rescue methods, whose recipes you will find on this forum if you use the search function. If neither of these help, you'll have to send the unit in for service. Radio upgrade problems really show a main design weakpoint of the XDA. But hey, we didn't design it, and we didn't sell it to you either. We're just assembled here to help ourselves, and as many other people as we can. On behalf of this entire community, I apologize for the fact that we couldn't help you as promptly as is the obvious birthright of someone of your stature.
I can sense you're someone special. You post your problem and expect the perfect answer within 24 hours. If you don't get it, you then top it off by writing a post with subject '**** you all', and say you will buy a Sony Clie instead. Now I could tell interesting stories about something which Sony calls 'customer support', but I will not. Our world is a better place if you buy a Clie, and yours may be too. I'm sure many people on this forum would be more than happy to provide suggestions as to what to do with your old XDA.
No I do not think im special, nor do i think this is a "pay for fix" service.
I received my xda prior to release as my company writes software for the XDA. I have been reviewing this forum since it first started, when the only way to get round the sim-lock was to force a software error.
Yes things have progressed...a great deal, and it is by far the best xda site on the web. I recommend this site daily to associates and clients daily,
but it would also seem that some people have a "greater than thou" elitest attitude, and ignore any post which does not challenge their supreme intellect.
I would have been more than happy with a simple "go to this thread" rather than being passed over because my problem is not interesting.
I fly to Saudi on Tuesday, so if anyone wants a mint xda with cradle. then you can have it for free.
If anyone also wants the IPR for xda software that will make them alot of money then let me know. The concept has been tested and the IBM labs in Winchester have agreed to lend any equipment required.
Regardless of your sarcastic undertones, thank for for at least posting a reply.

ur asking an awful lot from people. i can see however that you havent got the latest o2 update. go to http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec_soft.html to update!
there is so much of this information on this forum that it isnt funny asking for it again.
I can see that you have only ever made 2 posts, so it would seem that your first forum is out of naivety rather than stupidity.
As such, here are some hints and a starting point for you. Please be aware, that there is quite a good search function if you take the time to look and can use the multiple fields to narrow down your search function.
You can also try the wiki ftp site if you just want some software and utilities to use. In the end though, you will find the best outcome and most stable device if you go and buy it.

Agreed, this has been posted a great many times, each trying to be the definitive post on all aspects of the Universal - something which I think is frankly impossible as no single post can cater for everything.
In the defence of somewhat overwhelmed newcomers, however, I do think it's time for x-d to be reorganised (how many times have we said this??) and broken down more specifically than just General, Upgrading and Accessories. There should also be beginners guides, for just this kind of thing.
@ brightming: the links provided above are a good starting point, read them all thoroughly!
Cheers

I've been (mostly) lurking here for a few months and I'd agree - it'd be fantastic to have 1) more specific/detailed forums under the Universal heading and 2) some well-written, clear guides for newcomers - particularly given the repetition and duplication of many subjects in different posts. An alternative place to have some good how-to type guides might be the wiki, especially considering that it appears to be underused at the moment. Any mods fancy tackling this?...

Hi neggie, welcome to the board.
Yes, you're correct, we revel in our scatological prowess.
To partake of our love of all things fecal, please read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534
as an intro to the board.
Very little can be done to improve the camera quality as determined by the hardware.
However, please try looking through the wiki, top left corner of your screen, down one, turn left at the McDonald's. Many hints and tips for your device, read this before anything else, other then the above and this tautology.
I advise use of the program Tweaks2k, although most things this commercial app will do can be done for free if you read the wiki and the forum.
V
Ahh yes, the golden rule, and the WISE one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
Like vijay said, it depends on your hardware, there is a big thread about a few cabs the improve the quality of the camera just do a search.
Another member hinted about take off the plastic cover also. Just search, limit results to the Wizard section it will help
hey all thanks for the replay havent been able to get back in a while i will check out tips and ways i just got my MDA US and just installed new T-mo offical rom so excited to see what i can. Thansk again anyone else with tips or have any direction to give me would be great on anything on this MDA

Hi guys,
This is my second time to logged in on this forum. And I find it awesome! wow, you people are a blas! your innovations and all...it rocks! anyways, guys, just had my O2 XDA mini S a month ago. bought it from a friend. its my first PDA phone. And i find it really amazing...with all the studff it could do....guys, to be honest, frist, im not an IT grad, or some say"techie" person. dont know much with computers also. but I do love my PDA. I know, its kinda ironic though....i also know that "this" should be mutual...like "give and take". but as of the moment, i dont have anything to share with you folks. however, rest assured though, in due time, i may have "something" that would be useful fo you...it could be any...at least...guys, just badly need your advice, or tips, or whatever technicalities you can share for my PDA. I would surely appreciate it. thanks!
Happy hollidays Geniuses!
I'm interested in upgrading my ROM. but, I don't have a pc. i browse via mobile. is there anybody is Bangalore who can Upgrade my HTC P3400i to 6.5. it would be great. i need a ROM that gives me more internal space.
no PC?? Then I think that you must go to your frnd or someone who does have a PC. You need to download a ROM first of approx 50-70MB...
hmmm, I can do that. which is the best ROM? i need my mobile to have good speed with a decent internal memory. any suggestion?
Sorry to break it to you, but its nearly impossible to do it unless you have a PC, because of the following reasons:
1. You need to study the forum
2. You need to study a lot in this forum
3. You need to study even more in the forum
Before you can safely flash your ROM.
I am really sorry for this, since most of the pple (atleast in India) don't have a PC. And honestly, I don't expect your friend to be generous enough to use your PC for hours.
Sorry again.
Just a piece of advise, don't trust for so called 'Senior members', instead look at a thread in "Upgrading forum" by krazy and see who are the people who has actually helped in upgrading.
Thank You and sorry again.
Well, that is the best advice I've got till now in any forum. thanks a tonne bro I'll do my research. My Friend's are pretty generous except for Karnataka Power Supply who keep cutting power . I'll check Krazy's forum. Cheers Bro. Have a good weekend.
You may want to take a really good look at the following three threads first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472169
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513329
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485835
The first one is the upgrading procedure while the latter two help you determine if your Gene is old or new.
Best of Luck
