Hi all I have just ordered a QTEK 2020 and am waiting eagerly for it...
At this point I have just one question: are software, drivers, applications, settings, roms and so on common for all of XDA II, MDAII, QTEK 2020, i-MATE and HTC? Should I look for specific QTEK 2020 software and drivers or is everything compatible? Are there specific QTEK 2020 ROMS or can I flash it with an XDA II rom for instance?
I'm asking this because there seems to be much more staff for XDA II and barely anything for the QTEK 2020.
Thanks.
Only had my Qtec 2 weeks, flashed the ROM to below, excellant I would recommend to anyone.
My new ROM details:Get this direct from QTEC http://www.qtek.nu/files/RUU172752WWE.zip
1.72.00WWE,
ROM date 03/15/04
Radio version 1.14.00
Protocol version 1337.24
ExtROM Version 1.66.130
History:My QTEC was a unlocked version from Expansys http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=108269, I use Orange, I used the info from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10866 specifically page 4-NPG (Thanks)
1. Get to bootloader (power+navi-key+reset)
2. Put device into cradle
2. Run update (the original from Qtek)
Took about 1 hour for whole process to complete! :?
I have seen a vast improvement in the general speed/stability for the device since ROM update, so i would recommend it.
I use TomTom 3.03 Navigator GPS software, with a TomTom Bluetooth reciever and a BlueTrek G2 headset at the same time no problem. I can even recieve calls while navigating!
With regards to Software you might want to look in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/FAQ for details of the differences between devices, mainly operating system ram etc.
Hope this helps you, this is the best all purpose gadjet I have ever had...
thanks gadjet, at least you're giving me the feeling that I haven't spent all that money for nothing. I have spent £399 on the qtek 2020, got it from expansys too, but unfortunately, i ordered it friday and on my order status they said that it's still at the central warehouse and I have to wait 3 more days for it to be shipped!! So I'll now have it on Wednesday or Thursday most probably!! One problem with the QTEK site is that it's all in Swedish or whatever language it is, and I don't understand anything other than Maltese, English, French and Italian :?
BTW, thanks especially for the link below gadjet, it basically says that apparently any software for any of the XDA II, MDA II, QTEK 2020 i-MATE and HIMALAYA are common, so if I don't find a spcific thing for the QTEK 2020 itself I may use one for the other brand names....

Glad to be of help
You won't be dissappointed when you do get it, it's a great pice of hardware..
Hi everyone.
I have an o2 xdaII mini, that I got a few days ago - which I'm very happy with except for the sound quality during a phone call.
Regardless of the speaker volume, the sound of the remote person is fairly distorted at times - almost like the internal speaker is blown.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues with this device while being used as normal phone (i.e. not on speakerphone)?
Hi, I have an MDA compact and I immediately noticed that the sound quality is VERY low...not even comparable to the P900 I had before....
and not only! I know other 3 user (they have the JAM italian version) that say the same thing as well!!! (from www.newsmobile.it)
I would like to send it back to the shop (in Germany), but I am not sure about it...
It was me to wrote above...
I am wondering also if a different RADIO-VERSION could make the difference in audio quality...
My version is:
ROM-version: 1.01.01GER
ROM-date: 10/21/04
Radio-version: 1.00.10
Protocol version: 1337.36
EXTrom: 1.01.120 GER
I repeat that I am very disappointed with audio quality in phone conversation...
My O2 XDA Mini's Radio version is 1.01.00.
It's true that the sound quality during phone call is not as good as XDA II, but I believe it is good enough for me.
It's a lot better than my old T68i and Treo 600.
Ok let me say this! I got the German T-Mobile with the German OS sound was perfect then I flashed it with English T-Mobile ROM the sound was still perfect! Then I flashed it with the iMate JAM ROM the sound became problematic with all the troubles you described so I flashed it back to T-Mobile's English ROM and the sound problems were solved again!
Conclusion the iMate ROM is buggy as fas as it concerns the sound quality and from your posts I see that the O2 has familiar problems with iMate's ROM. So I will stay with English T-Mobile ROM till a ROM upgrade will solve the problem in iMate's or O2's ROM.
Very good info, katsj
i-mate JAM (WWE)
ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE
ROM date: 11/01/04
Radion version: 1.01.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.03.143 WWE
Sound is decent. Not as deep/rich as my SMT 5600 (SP3), but I have no problems hearing people (or being heard)...
i-mate said that they'd have an JAM ROM update on clubimate.com soon. (who knows what 'soon' means though!)
My radio version is 1.01.00 too, and my sound quality leaves much to be desired.
I discovered today that the sound is so bad that I can't understand the remote person at all if there's any more than a minimum level of background noise (i.e. in a department store).
The info katsj gave us regarding different ROMs is promising, but a refund seems more attractive at the moment. :-(
iMate already promised a new ROM fixing this problem! I dont want any refunds! I want this incredible phone to be perfect! Maybe the sound quality needs to be fixed but it is the ONLY phone that I can make a call at my house's elevator without loosing a word! All other phone I ever tried were just dropping the call! Even SE K700i which has the reputation of the best reception!
Like katsj, I have an MDA Compact with the T-Mobile english ROM and the sound is just fine. I was using a P800 then a P900 just before I got the Compact, and I cannot tell any difference.
Very well! I will wait my SD 1GB and I will try to upload an english ROM Tmobile...
The fact is that I have a German Tmobile ROM that, in katsj experiments, should be excellent for sound quality but in my case is very bad...
Why?
one more thing: which are the JAM forums where people are complaing about sound quality? I would like to have a look by myself....
i got the imate jam and the sound is really bad... i will try the t-mobile english version and hope it corrects the problem.............
hope someone could find a fix for it soon
O2 XDA II mini here, and sound distortion is bugging...
Radio version: 1.01.00
I'va got a MDA Compact from t-Mobile German versione updated with english ROM and my audio is very good.
I've got an i-mate JAM with the following:
ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE
ROM date: 11/01/04
Radion version: 1.01.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.03.143 WWE
Terribles sound quality - has anyone actually flashed the ROm to the T-Mobile English version and the problem been resolved?
Otherwise it's going back for a refund - love the the device - but can't put up with the poor sound quality...
Where can I find the English T-Mobile Rom???
If the problem is just with the Radio version, can someone tell us how to update the Radio ROM only. 8)
I moved from German Tmobile ROM to WWE Tmobile ROM and AUDIO has icreased a lot in quality... I reccomend this ROM to all people that are complaying about audio quality...
ciaociao
I just moved from the P900 to the O2 XDAII mini 3 days ago. My immediate reaction when I first used it was similar to the comments posted. The sound quality is rather poor when compared to the P900. I am not sure if this is a hardware issue or a firmware issue.
Same here
XDA II mini
ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE
ROM date: 11/01/04
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtRON version: 1.03.147 WWE
Sctrachy, tinney, lacking bass, distorts, very loud even at lowest level- speakerphone is a tad better, but lack power, probably cause the treble would low the speaker.
I'm still having trouble understanding how it is the ROM version doing this- sounds like hardware to me....but if they can fix it, I'm in!
peppepep,
Can you or perhaps someone else with the T-Mobile MDA Compact WWE radio version post it to this site.
Perhaps someone can test loading this radio version onto the I-Mate JAM ROM and see if there is improvement.
Lastly, I have heard some JAM Owners say their audio is not that bad. I wonder if this is a hardware or radio issue?
I have interest in this topic, because I will have a JAM on Monday the 3rd.
Happy New Year all,
Ed
Is it possible to flash the Jam with the T-mobile WWE rom?? Will this help fix the awful phone quality issues until Imate gets around to releasing a rom upgrade. I see the T-Mobile wwe rom is on the ftp along with ntrw. Do you need to replace any of the header information since it is going from Imate WWE rom to T-Mobile WWE? I have a Lexar 512 mb sd card, should that work okay? Any help would be appreciated, the sound quality is awful for phone calls even with a headset. Everything sound great when using Meia Player 10.
Yes. It's possible.
There are two sound issues wit the Jam. The ROM issue and the issue of the speaker's soldering. THe update will fix the ROM issue but not the speaker issue.
I don't know if you'll need to replace the header.
Some SD cards get fried in the process but I'm not sure which ones do.
Itried to become a member to the club i-mate.
But i can´t, because my device is called Qtek S100 not i-mate jam, It´s the same device, but the only says that i have to contact the store from where i bought it, but what can they do?????? Change the name on my device????
Conclusion:: Club i-mate sucks. :evil:
Club I-Mate is only for I-Mate Jam owners. Not for MDA Compact or Qtek owners.
Although clubimate does have many issues due to which you can fairly conclude that their support sucks, your problem however does not seem to be an issue with imate but rather with Qtek.
cubimate is for people who have bought an Imate branded device and you clearly have not. So you should be looking for a clubQtek (if one exists)... and if there is none then its the Qtek people you should be complaining to.
funny... i drive a nissan, and it broke down. toyota sucks!

Hmmm. Since when is Toyota and Nissan the same???
The difference between i-mate jam and the qtek s100, is mostley cosmetic, they are made in the same factory, it´s the same on the the inside, Atleast that´s what the Swedish manufactur said.
The biggest difference is the text on the outside.

Imate and Qtek buy the magician from HTC and rebrand it. Since they sell independently and are rivals, Imate has no business serving Qtek customers.

Ι understand what you say, but think about I-mate. Why allow you to enter in their forum, get their know how, their info, their applications, their firmware... when you haven't paid them for buying the S100???
It's all about branding... I also have a Qtek 2020, which is the MDA II... I cannot enter in the i-mate forum like you...
Don't bother though there is nothing important to find there... The firmware updates cannot be loaded to your S100. You can download them from an official Qtek website... We in Greece have one: www.qtek.gr

No, the difference is also in the content of the Extended ROM. For the Hardware, it is HTC that you can contact...
If you have a PC running Windows, you can't say that unix sucks, right ?
Fairiness in bussiness
You are all right!
I've learn the hard way that Qtek IS NOT iMate. I ordered an XDA-II from Expansys, that was out-of-stock and re-routed to be iMate, that ended up being a Qtek 2020, the price difference was even in my favour, Right?
W-R-O-N-G!!!
Qtek is almost a fake brand, (at least for my WWE version): No web page, no support, no upgrades, no forum, no----- NOTHING!
More than a year later, I gave up trying to get BT Handsfree support for my Qtek 2020, and get BT syncing at same time, so I ordered an iMate JAM from Expansys, Guess what? I just received a call from Expansys, offering me to switch to a Qtek S100!
I REFUSED!
I prefer to wait two more weeks rather than feel myself again in the wild, with no one "official" to help (Thanks ONLY to XDA developers and you guys here)
Conclussions:
HTC really sucks, since they are the ones who know how "hadicapped" their devices are, and provide no help.
Qtek sucks too, since they are making money for branding the devices and letting them unsupported.
Expansys sucks a bit too, though just for being un-informative and not advising their custommers that "manufacturing" is part of the thing, but "support is paramount" when you are talking about really new tech products that are going to need a lot of tweaking.
iMate might have their share too, but obviously not for my choosing of my Qtek 2020.
And iMate is even cheaper!

Any chance you could tell us what is new in the firmware available on http://www.qtek.gr/s100_firmware.html?
It seems to be of a later version than that of my swedish Qtek, and I would very much like to know what is in the update so I know if I should bother calling Brightpoint and ask them to put it on their web site.
Thanks!

Qtek S100 Firmware Update
ATTENTION! WITH THE UPGRADE ARE EXTINGUISHED THE DATA OF YOUR APPLIANCE! CONTACTS, PROGRAMS, SOUNDS OF CALL, PICTURES, VIDEO THAT CAN EXIST IN YOUR APPLIANCE, WILL ERASE!
Who can use Greek?
The Greek publication has been manufactured by the Ace-Hellas. The Greek publication is been disposed only for appliances that have been bought from the Ace-Hellas or her network of resellers.
What it needs I am careful?
The Qtek fortj'zej when becomes the upgrade. It should you attend it is completely fortjsme'no front you begin the upgrade.
That does become the upgrade firmware?
Attend to have passed the Activesync and exists communication with the computer. It is proposed you use some computer with Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Terminate any program you have open! Afterwards simply you execute the file that you lowered/you will lower and you follow the directives in your screen. If you face problem with the upgrade you try in some other computer. When it finishes the upgrade it will be supposed you realise hard-reset (the photograph in the end of upgrade in your computer, you shows how him makes).
I began the upgrade and in the middle to me it was cut the current and extinguished the computer (or more simply failed the upgrade).
Do not worry. The Qtek has his bootloader therefore it will be supposed after a reset you see white screen (the screen is not litted up therefore sees carefully from near distance) and is entered Serial.
1. You remove the Qtek from the base. Remove the battery for 30 seconds and xanatopoceti'ste.
2. You begin your computer regularly
3. You activate the Qtek and place in the base. The clue Serial should change in USB.
4. You execute again the upgrade.
I began the upgrade for 2nd time but failed again.
Try in some other computer. Try in computer with Windows 2000 or XP. The upgrade does not probably work rightly in Windows 95,98,ME. Also a other factor are the problematic USB Controllers (eg VIA)
Exist some does background for what it changed in the new publication?
We unfortunately do not have the changes that realises the Qtek. It follows however background for Greek:
1.1.1 (03/02/05)
- With publication 1.06 is corrected the problem with the MMS in the network of Cosmote. - Correction of orthographic errors and other errors in fo'rmes.
- Automatic regulations GPRS Internet/MMS and on the 4 networks of mobile telephony. In the Q-Telecom exists only service MMS. Attention! It should you have activated your services from pa'roho'!
- Choice permanent report in the SMS. Can activate the possibility in each new SMS is preselected the report. This him you will find in the Regulations in the choice for Language.
1.0.0 - Initial Publication (20/12/04)

You mean Nissan and Toyota aren't the same? They're both transportation devices, aren't they?
Same goes for Qtek branded phones & I-Mate branded phones. The guy who started this thread is pissed because he owns a Qtek branded phone, yet can't log into the I-Mate website to get support for it? Come on.
Toyota and Nissan are by far more different from eachother than the Qtek and iMate.
If you need to use cars for your example you might want to go for something like the Opel Agila and Suzuki Wagon R. Built by the same company, looks identical, but marketed by different companies.
Has anyone yet worked out if it is possible to enable A2DP in the new I-Mate ROM?
It has been suggested that comparing differences in the registry between the "test" rom and the "ship" rom may shed some light on this. Can any qtek "test" rom users help with this?
Another suggestion is to post the extended_rom from the qtek "test" rom. It may be possible to install the AKU2 update cab from this to overwrite the current settings. Anyone got the extended_rom from the qtek "test" rom which they can post?
TIA.
Is this a dumb question? Can anybody tell me whether the A2DP has been removed or disabled from the latest i-mate rom?
Cheers,
Shamus
removed...if u want u can try Q Tek ROM
Thanks for the reply...isn't the qtek AKU2 rom buggy? I have read many reports of lock-ups from people using this rom.
I am not sure if it is possible to downgrade from the new i-mate rom as it has re-enabled the cid lock. AWizard and lockwiz don't work with this new rom. Anyone managed to downgrade from the new i-mate rom?
Cheers,
Shamus.

aWizard works with the iMate ROM if you just want to unlock CID. It is not able to change the 2nd splash screen. I just used aWizard to unlock CID on my Qtek 9100 to replace the latest iMate ROM with the Qtek test ROM with A2DP.
Just got this new Bluetooth stereo headset yesterday, which comes with a BT transmitter for attaching to my iPod, and it's working great with the 9100. I am one happy fellow! :lol:

Do you hear any strange sounds while listening BT-stereo from your Qtek? I've read a few posts where people complain about some sort of whine noise that can easy be heard during pauses between songs... They say it's a Wizard hardware problem - the reason why HTC disabled A2DP in the final AKU2 firmware.
i had no whining problems with the test rom using a2dp, however what did happen every so often was the pitch would change for a few seconds, i asumed it was due to the cache, from what i had heard the a2dp creates a virtual music memory to transfer at its own speed.
i'm using it with my iphono mini 450 headphones.
no pitch problems or whine?noise. ( do you realy mean whine or white?)
I do hear a very slight hiss, but that must be the headphones cos i also hear that when its not connected. Probably radionoise.
For me the rom is also running stable so i don't understand why they took it out of the rom
The only problem i have is when i wear my phone in my pocket the sound sometimes stutters when i turn my head or place an arm in between etc.
But thats probably due to the fact that the headphones are 10meter class
