UAE: Best Radio version?

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who posts to this forum - I've been reading it for a month or so now and am constantly impressed with the quality of the knowledge here, especially the developers...
I have a QTEK 1010 bought here in Dubai, UAE, with the following device info:
ROM version: 4.00.01 ENG
ROM date: 05/16/03
Radio version: 3.23.01
Protocol version: 32S54
I have found that browsing using IE feels slower, and have the feeling that this version of the ROM does not work well with the radio version. Does anyone reading this forum live in the UAE? I'd like to upgrade the Radio, but need to know which version works best with Etisalat (our Telco).
Any comments much appreciated!
Thanks, Doms...
P.S. I'm going to upgrade the ROM to 4.00.05 when I get the opportunity

hi, i am from dubai and i am using 4.00.1 from t-mobile and 4.21 from o2, so far everything fine just when i reset the t-mobile logo appears.
do you have bluetooth option in that version and your version was already installed or you upgraded yourself?

Use the o2 Radio Version 4.21 it will work fine...

Thanks for the responses guys. Does this new radio version provide any benefits over the one I have?

1) The QTEK does not support Bluetooth, and there is no way to make it work on a QTEK either.
2) There is no Bluetooth option in any of my menus or settings (I would expect this as my device does not support Bluetooth). Windows PPC2003 is supposed to be able to support Bluetooth, however: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/products/pocketpc/about/2003/bluetooth.mspx
3) I upgraded to the 4.00.05 version of Windows PPC2003 myself using Jeff's ROM Kitchen (thanks Jeff!) http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/

Hi, Once i had 4.00.01 and in connection setting i had Bluetooth option but ofcourse it was not working, the other thing is do you know any camera work with SD port of Qtek? i mean something availble in the market.
4.21 is more stable i think.
cheers,

I had some problems when making calls on my QTEK yesterday. While in a voice conversation audible clicking noises can be heard and after about 1 minute of conversation the quality of the call deteriorates until the other party cannot hear me. I'll try upgrading the radio...
I don't know about the camera support using the SD slot in the QTEK. My first instinct would be to say no, it's not possible, but I can't confirm that...

I bought a Qtek 1010 in Dubai Duty Free the other week. I've since upgraded the ROM using ROMkitchen and am delighted with it. One thing I did notice though is that the speakerphone functionality (claimed in the Qtek handbook) doesn't seem to work. I didn't try it before I upgraded so can someone tell me if it works with the native UAE ROM code, and if so does anyone have any idea how I could get it working again?

I own a QTEK in the UAE and here is my share to those asking about OS and Radio updates here:
I upgraded from
ROM version: SER 1.2
Radio version: 3.23.01
To
ROM version: 4.00.10 ENG (T.Mobile Test)
Radio version: 4.21.00 (O2 UK)
Everyting seems to work fine apart from 2 minor issues so far:
Make sure you set your band to 900Europe as the default is 1900North America in phone/tools/options
The signal fades out sometimes but doznt affect the reception
No G signal but GPRS is OK.
GPRS stays connected; have to turn phone off and on to disconnect.
Advice:
Read a lot before you upgrade. This forum has a wealth of information.
Cheers

Latest and greates Skype :-( - Warning!!!

I installed latest Skype version, the one that is "compatible" with I-Mate...
The result for starting this program, for me at least - HARD RESET...
Just a warning for everybody to make sure, that if you decided to try it - do not do it far from your home/office where you have your back up...

Sorry to hear about your experience. Can you kindly state PocketSkype version and your XDA code version (OS & Radio). Thanks

Strange, because it worked fine for me.

Skype for Pocket PC 0.94
the best line from the RELEASE:
bugfix: It works now on O2 XDA II devices !!!! )
My Info:
ROM VERSION: 1.72.00WWE
ROM DATE: 03/15/04
RADIO VERSION: 1.14.00
PROTOCOL VERSION: 1337.24
EXTROM VERSION: 1.72.126

@Kim Friis - Strange, because it worked fine for me.
It was just a warning from me.... may be you have previous version...

This version of Skype is known to work well on XDA. It works for me as well. Maybe its the 1.72 on your XDA. I have an older ROM. Thanks for the feedback

Ironically, i was talking on Skype on my XDAII when i saw this thread :lol:

I am very happy for you, rahjinoh
You mean Skype finally made a voice working over GPRS? That exactly what I was planning to test today May be will give another try later today...

maybe he have a wifi card
voice over that is suppose to work just fine

Skype over GPRS is big NO for me. I can heat another party OK, but hey can't hear me at all

you're right Rudegar
i'm using it with my WiFi CF.

ROM upgrades for T Mobile phone?

I have just bought a T mobile MDA Compact in UK and unlocked it to use my Orange SIM.
I have ROM 1.01.00 WWE, ROM date 10/24/04, radio version 1.00.10, protocol version 1337.36 and ExtROM Version 1.01.128 WWE.
This looks very old, is there a more recent version and what are the differences vs my version?
What is involved in updating and is there an offcial T Mobile update?
Thanks
Richard Racer

it seems that there's no .exe rom(wwe) update for t-mobile to download..
cause it's a long time that i'm searching for it

Rom upgrades for T-Mobile
The latest MDA rom/radio is 1.12. You cab download it and flash it yourself from this website/forum. Simple enough that even I could do it!
Joe

Dear mate,
i tried flashing mada comapct roms ver 1.01 and 1.12 but it wasn't succeded...
i replaced 416 bytes with mine but all the time i got checksum error at the end...
what did you do to flashing that...?
have you ever test it with sandisk 256+wifi card to know if it works fine or not?
Regards

I use that old t-mobile 1.01 for about 2+ months and it works fine.
no gprs problem, no bluetooth problem (paired with BT-338 gps receiver).
I use internet + remote access quite a lot, plus TomTom 5.
Yes, sometimes it crashed but very very very rarely and it was because of some trial shareware that I tested.
In my opinion, if you are not sure with the upgrade ... DONT do it !
Try to use 1.01, if it works .. then it works !
I am waiting 1.20 Because I read there are some problems (randomly) with newer version. Some people are not sure with 1.12, some people are stick with 1.11. And me? I stick with 1.01

have you ever tried sandisk 256+wifi with your roms?

I don't have that card.
I use the Spectec card, which works perfectly.

Qtek S200 issues

Hello guys,
I was looking for a solution for my problems with my Qtek S200 and Google pointed me to this forum. Found lots of useful info here, however couldn't solve any of the problems I have. Hopefully some of you can help me.
1. no matter what I do, the device wouldn't sync through the USB cable, it will only sync through IR (I'm using ActiveSync 4.2, same problem with 4.1 before I updated)
2. wouldn't beam files through Bluetooth. No problems with receiving files though.
3. I've tried to update the ROM, however all I got was "Invalid vendor ID". I've tried Lockiwiz to unlock the S200 before trying to update the ROM, however it came up with an error message aswell, so it turns out to be impossible to update the ROM either. I've tried registering my device on Qtek's support website, but it wouldn't take my IMEI number.
More info on the S200:
ROM version: 2.9.7.24 WWE
ROM date: 2/9/06
Radio version: 02.07.20
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.9.7.106
Model No: PM300
I would appreciate any opinions and suggestions on how I can fix these problems. 10x :!:

No Sync
Hi
I had this problem tried for hours to get it to sync nearlly sent the machine back then found this
It has a problem with certain firewalls follow the link tell you all about it. I use trend and I followed the instructions and all was well.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
Hope this helps
stephen

Thanx s2tephen, that was really the problem! I went through Microsoft's instructions, however I had to exit the firewall to make ActiveSync work.
Anyway, 1 down, 2 left!

Unlocking
www.imei-check.com or www.imeicheck.com not sure which on but i used them cost £20.00 but worth it unlocked in about 5mins, can't have everything for free.

Check this thread out worked for me.

Took me a while to figure out where to copy the file but it worked!

wizard turns on by itself / how to disable direct push mail

Hallo,
my wizard drives me nuts. sometimes it turns on (screen+backlight) by itself.
of course my battery is empty every evening since this.
in other threads i already noticed that it might have anything to do with
- direct push mail (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291348)
- PIN (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299622&page=2)
here are my questions:
1. any other possible reason ?
2. how do i disable direct push mail ? - in the comm manager i can't even turn it on - looks off.
3. when they say PIN - are they talking about the SIM-card PIN ?
if so, isn't there a fix for it ?
i have original vodafone (germany) AKU2 ROM 2.21.3.1 GER 3/22/06
Radio 02.19.11
Protocol 4.1.13.09
IPL/SPL 2.21
WIZA100
(it's a G3 as far i know)
thank you!

What ROM are you using?

Hello,
i have original vodafone (germany) AKU2 ROM 2.21.3.1 GER 3/22/06
Radio 02.19.11
Protocol 4.1.13.09
IPL/SPL 2.21
WIZA100
(it's a G3 as far i know)

I would try re-flashing it and see if that helps.

why reflash ? it's a original rom.

You could also try doing a hard reset, but re-flashing the original ROM is not going to make the problem worse and may even fix it.
