Hi all,
I am thinking to go back to PPC2002, I've faced tons of problems (as everybody) with WM2003, the problems are even worse in WM2003SE ... so I decided to downgrade my xda to PPC2002.
What I want to know is the following:
What is the most reliable Rom available for PPC2002 edition ?, is it 3.20.06 ?
Thanks.
I've downgraded my device to PPC2002 , and I really think that its a good idea (at least till now). I also noticed something strange, my gprs connection speed is much better than WM2003, I don't know why but the max that i could get with WM2003 was around 20 kbps , in PPC2002 I'm getting more than 40 kbps , anybody have an idea why this is happening?

I have upgraded to PPC2003 v 4.00.01 ENG from FTP..lycos.uk...and am very happy with the speed of the Qtek that has greatly improved. I have radio V. 3.19.01 that did not change with the upgrade ..Is there a better version of the Radio Stack?
If so where is the link? I use Qtek 1010 in Oman. ME

Hi,
my advice to you if your Radio is working fine with the upgrade dont change it.
Generaly the 3.19.01 was a good Radio version for QTEK when i upgraded to 3.23 i had problems in Lebanon. If ure device is working fine keep it like that.
:wink:
Hi,
Thanks for the advice @ Arzleb. I think its better to keep it going this way as its difficult to have a stuck QTEK with an improper Radio in it.
Its just that this version of Radio I feel has a falling signal strength!! Could be the OMANTEL GSM network too!!
Its too early to evaluate as I got 3.19.01 ver just a week ago
Thanks

Well Ravi i tried every RSU possible on the QTEK in order to track the signal problem which i also have in Lebanon. Currently i am using the o2 4.21 and i can assure u its the same as 3.19 & 3.23.
I think sometimes the signal bars arent always right! i will give an exemple sometimes the bars shows 1 or 0 and i could still receive a call. Dont always trust the bars but also that doesnt mean that the Signal is good and i dont think its the device's fault. U could blame the operator 50% and the device 50%.
Now what is happening with me is that the bars change very fast on the same Cell i mean they drop to 1 then go up to 4 very fast like crazy lights and also in places were the signal on other phones are full on my QTEK is 1 or 2.
Anyways as long as no one is telling you that we are calling you and ure phone is closed i think ure safe.
Salam bro

Hello,
does any one have an executable file with the 3.13 version?
Thx!
I have an sx56 originally working wiht AT&T. I flashed the rom with 4.05 and it works fine except for some system halts. Also the screen backlight sometimes goes off and never goes on again until I soft rest it.
I live in Egypt and use vodafone coverage. are there any updated roms to use. will the 4.11 4.16 or 4.21 work with me or not. formerly I was using ppc2002 and working fine, and now running 4.05 and still working but with minor problems, can I upgrade or what.
you havn't specified,but it looks like you are using Tmobile's radio stack and rom. I have tried several and came up with the best rom for egypt which is the Qtek RS and rom. if you need anything else contact me on 0122200666
Hi guys ... nice to see few egyptians here
I have a friend needs help. He got a SIM-locked T-mobile XDA with 32 MB RAM orginally loaded with ROM 3.14 and RSU 6.20 for T-mobile.
I managed to unlock his XDA and upgrade the ROM to 4.00.05 ENG. The problem is with the RSU ... I tried the O2 4.21 and Qtek 3.25 but still doesn't get Mobinil signal. I tried to change the band to 900/1800 and 900 only and still no signal (did not try Vodafone though).
Could there be any firm ware problem or I miss a minor actoin.
I would appreciate giving more details on your XDAs and the steps and ROM, RSU versions you used. My mobile is 012-3147866 or e-mail [email protected] ... thanks in advance.
Bye

yes you can upgrade to 4.00.16 and your bug will disappear, however there will still be some annoying stuff as the WM2003 is still a pre-release..but the 4.00.16 doen't bug me like the 4.05.
[/b]bisooo....as for you, not sure if I have good news...but try it on vodafone and tell me what is going on....

Does that mean u actually get vodafone signal ?? ... what RSU version are you using plz
Samer: Thanks for the reply anyway ... actually the XDA dosn't sense any network coverage (manual network selection). So I believe I 'm using the wrong RSU or its firmware is locked for T-mobile. You wrote in your signature that you still have RSU 6.18 ... does that work in Egypt ?!
bisooo,
don't jump to conclusions...first of all let me assure you that most Tmobiles and SimensSX65 and QTeck and ALL XDAs work in Egypt. I have had a couple of them, bought a good number for a couple of friends....they are all working fine. ofcourse unlocked...
So lets start by some simply question first, before I go on with those questions one very important question though did you by any chance while in 'calender' bootloader mode i.e. GSM options ...did you press ANY THING OTHER THAN THE 900 or THE 900/1800 BUTTON??
this is very important....
now.. for the questions:
1. tell me how you unlocked the device...
2. where you bought it from...
3. is it an 'A' model or a 'B' model.
other questions will follow, just plug me in with the headlines firs!..
Dont worry..
Samer,
1st thanks again for your thoughtfulness ... happy to tell you that I finally managed to let it work ... I installed T-mobile RSU 6.24 and it got the signal. I just handed it to my friend 10 minutes ago and he was sooo glade
one last question plz and this is for MY device. I heard lots of complains about ROM 4.00.16 and 4.00.21 ... did you find any value for them over the 4.00.11 one (new features, bugs fixed, ... etc)
thanks again
bisooo,
not sure as I upgraded from 4.05 so I havn't had the chance,, my opinion is as long as it's a prerelease we might as well wait a while and get something more dependable than what is in our hands...but from reviews around i think that the 4.11 is ok...
just curious, how did you unlocke your friends device? any method other than the manipulator?
Also, have you tried to put together a local car kit for the set... I am thinking of making one locally and wanting some advice on the topic..
take care...
Samer,
For unlocking, I upgraded the XDA first to ROM 3.17 from the kitchen ... when it starts, it asks u if you want to unlock then you say yes ... for my device as it had ROM 3.18 I copied the XDAunlock.exe to the device and ran from there.
For the car kit, I believe I saw a topic here talked about converting a cradle to a car kit ... it has all details with pics too!!. Search under the accessories forum.
Good luck ...
hi biso007,
hope I am not disturbing you...but finding someone from Egypt who knows about the device is good...
anyway ..I remeber you upgraded your friend's radio stack to 6.24 ! and rom 4.00.21 . Is he encountering any problems with SMS...I am having the weiredest bug ever with my upgraded rom. I receive SMS but can't send them. when changing the sim card to vodafone isntead..everything works perfect. tried all the tricks of sending from different places and excluding the international code from the message service number....etc. nothing is working..
I would like also to know if you have faced any problems while working around with installing different Radio versions for your friend's device?? did you encounter any difficulty there??
thanks a million, :?
Hello there;
I am very sorry not to reply to you earlier, but I had to travel immediately after my post and could not find the time there to get to the forum and see the replies.
I am very happy to hear from you, and to share each other's experiences about this great device.
I am still running the 4.05, still have the problems but I can live with it. I was considering to upgrade to .16 or 21, but decided to wait till we have a real release not a prerelease versions.
I am running radio version A.20.10, I use vodafone, and I had absolutely no problems with sms. I do not have experience with mobinil in this subject.
By the way I downloaded a midi player and tried to use midi files as ring tones to save ram space, but the sound is very poor. Does anybody know how to improve the sound of midi tones on the xda.
waiting for your replies............

Up to my information, the XDA MIDI player is not capable to play MIDI files that use more than 4 insturments. So, either to get tones in this specs, or if you have the knowledge you can use any MIDI editor and disable some tracks.
Good luck and Welcome back

I wonder how a smart phone running symbian or other operating systems with a total memeory of 4 MB, can play polyphonic and midi tones perfectly and the xda cannot ??
I used a midi editor to reduce the number of tracks, and even used a single track midis and the result is still poor. anymore ideas !!!
radio for qtek working with egypt
have u find radio version works fine with egypt ? please help

hello there
wouldnt it be wise if we downgraded jasjar into wm2003se , and enjoy the speed of a <20mb rom (is such a rom available) ?????
I was thinking about the same issue couple of days ago, I really beleive that it would have been much faster and more stable.
WM5 is still new, and till now they are trying to improve its performance, and I hope they will do it soon.
If there is a WM2003 Rom for my Imate Jasjar I will be the first one to downgrade till I find a reliable WM5 ROM.

r u serious
r u serious :?: :!:
obviously there are problems with WM5, as it is a relatively new OS; but
despite all its downfalls it is still a more advanced OS than WM2003 - e.g.: the fact that information is retained in memory even after the battary has 'died'.
besides, particularly due to the changes in the memory infrastracture, is the Universal capable of handling the old OS?
- it was supposedly designed around the new OS.
the lack of a backup software is a killing mistake in my opinion, (off battery) is not the only way data can be lost. slowness is not excusable...
i demand a win2003se rom for jasjar coz selling it on ebay with a 100$ is the sole ulternative
Hi there,
I've been using a Magician for the past 18 months (O2 Xda II mini) and have just ordered myself an iMate JAMin. It's a freebie on my current business phone plan.
Can someone tell me if the Prophet has suffered from the same problems with GPRS that the Magician has - i.e. trouble connecting to GPRS a second time, which seemed somehow related to the CallerID software?
And what English ROM is considered the best/most stable at present? Or put another way, which ROM version(s) should I avoid? :roll:
Hi,
I upgraded and so far have not had a repeat of the GPRS issue you mention.
As for best ROM, someone else can answer that. Be careful though, some people have reduced thier pride and joy to a mere paper-weight after trying to flash to a new ROM. :shock:
If I am just using my Typhoon for contacts, calendar, and tasks on the go, should I stick with PPC 2003 or upgrade the phone to WM6.1? I wouldn't be on internet because I don't have a data plan, but I love the threaded texting of WM6.1. In summary, would WM6.1 or PPC 2003 be faster on my Typhoon?
2003 of WM6.1
I would like to hear coments too! I was given a Typhoon (Audiovox SMT5600) and was planning on doing the same thing as Geeksquad. My Typhoon is sim unlocked and ready to go, just need a direction. I'll be using Outlook 2000 at work and 2007 at home, anyone see major issues here as well.
Thanks in advance.
what is sim unlocked? do i need to do it if i use at&t?
You only need to sim unlock if your going to use the phone on a different network.
Since I'm using T-moblie, I would have sim unlocked the phone given to me, but I was lucky and it was already unlocked.
Now all we need to do is Appilcation unlock them to re-flash. Depending on what others are going to tell us
ppc 2003 is fast enuf, but would 5,6, or 6.1 be faster?
Hey guys, as of my experience, WM6.1 is much much faster than WM2003SE.
Added to that, the look and functionality are amazingly better. It seems like having purchased a brand new phone!
Can only recommend...
I am a proud owner of a HTC Feeler (Sp3i) and I would say that for your purposes, if you are not afraid of bricking your phone, it is definitely worth upgrading to WM 6.1. There will be some loss of speed, but it is not anything that is unbearable. I must agree with with Prerna that WM6.1 brings new life to your phone and it does look amazing. For your purposes, the added functionality comes in terms of different layouts and a few more options in terms of network options than the original ROM. There are also a lot of new programs being written for the WM6.1 platform that can not be used in WM2003SE platforms. In my opinion, it is worth upgrading, and looking at Karhoe's guide to updating to 6.0 and using the same principles to upgrade to 6.1 makes it really easy.
I tried everyway way to upgrade my Spv c500 2003se but couldn't succeed except with JAFWM i used mtty , NBFtool but couldn't get it n i always get this [294] Invalid Vendor ID problem when try RuuOCHv2.5_v4.2.5.2_ship.exe (Update utility) n when i try Windows.Mobile.5.ROM.Pack.For.HTC.Typhoon.C500.SMT5600 then it stuck on 11% or sometimes on 14% n get utility error has encounter it has to be closed etc so tell me what way should i try ?
I've been running Aluet's WM6.1 for Typhoon/Feeler/Amadeus v 1.3 on my old SMT5600 from Cingular for about 6 months now.
I gave it to my oldest son when he started 5th grade. It's been working flawlessly and I would not have given it to him if I felt there were issues. This is actually why I had not loaded version 1.5 of the same rom as there were stability problems at the time.
The phone had 2003 on it and after loading WM6.1 and playing with it for a while I was quite impressed. There are occasional slow downs if a lot of things are left opened but freeing up mem takes care of it.
I still have another SMT5600, as I got a great deal on a couple refurbs, so I will be doing this all over when my youngest son gets a phone next year.
I've been searching the world for a threaded messaging program. Anybody wanna point me in the right direction. I would flash it to WM6.1, but it's acting like it doesn't wanna work.
