galt: thanks for all your help. As I said, I applied Pocket Hack Master 2005 to both my Jasjar (with the latest ROM) and to my wifes' MDA Pro, but with totally different results.
1) My Jasjar struggled to pass the test to overclock to 624Mhz, but did eventually. Once achieved, it would lock up within seconds and had to be soft-reset and clocked back to 520Mhz where its pretty content and somewhat an improvement on the Jasjar without HackMaster!
In contrast:
2) My wifes MDA Pro, passed the 624Mhz stress test 1st time and rockets along comfortably all day, with no probs.
I can't help but wonder if us Jasjar owners may have a software problem with our Roms, unless another Jasjar owner had the exact same positive response that the MDA had.
*Point of interest: Although the MDA overclocks and runs happily at 624Mhz (haven't tried beyond - have only used safe settings) both the Jasjar @ 520Mhz and the Pro @624Mhz are pretty indistinguishable in performance. I'm talking about refresh rates, access to or loading times of programs and video playback @ 640x480 resolution.
Feedback appreciated guys.
My Jasjar seems to run ok at 624. Tried the test 5 times and ran for several days without issues. Not much difference noticed, except pocket informant seems to run better and faster.
hi mackaby007,
can you please post the rom, radio and external rom version information from your wifes mda pro.
i think that this may be a rom issue - need to clarify

Ok, I've done the overclocking to 624Mhz and it seems to be running well. (only been half an hour since I did it though!)
Everything is working well. Can't say I've noticed a massive difference in performance although my Citrix client seems to be running a little smoother. Even the camera seems to be working well (and that's usually the first thing that's gone wrong when I've tried overclocking on previous devices!)
God knows how the battery will be affected, but we'll see...
My details are as follows:
Jasjar
ROM version: 1.13.53 WWE
ROM date: 09/23/05
Radio version: 1.03.01
Protocol version: 42.36.P8
ExtROM version:
(I hit the soft reset button before the ExtROM loaded...)
Your keeping me up now sub69!
Tell me, if you would, as you seem to have the same ROM version as myself and also a jasjar, wouldn't you agree that it is probably some 3rd party software I've got installed on mine that is causing the problem? Or you have something on yours which is helping yours!
Mine is almost down to a skeleton Jasjar! I've only really got Spb 3.0.1 left installed accompanied by hackmaster & TCPMP (obviously) and Resco Radio. That's it! any ideas? My wifes Pro has the same software installed, as I mentioned earlier and she too flies along at 624Mhz.
I had SPB Pocket Plus installed for a while too. I did a hard reset a couple of days ago, and left that out when I re-installed everything (because I was only really using it for the 'proper 'X' button function) and my JasJar seems to be running a lot smoother now.
I'd hate to place the blame on one piece of software, especially as I love the idea of Pocket Plus, but I really think I'll be waiting a while until they release a WM5-specific version from now on. I know I'm not the only one who thinks it slows down my JasJar (can't remember if it was this particular forum where I heard that though)
(Oh, and I should be asleep by now too!)
mackaby007: Sorry about going a little offtopic, but since you have access to both devices, which one do you like the most? MDA PRO or JasJar? And what are the reasons? Just curious
thanks mackaby007,
i've got to concur with the general consensus.
i'm beginning to feel that there might be a third party app that causes the jasjar to crash when you try to overclock it to 624mhz.
i dont need any of the software in the external rom so i intend to hard reset my jasjar and do a soft reset before the external rom loads like Sub69.
then i'm going to install phm 2005 and see if it overclocks to 624mhz and remains at that speed without crashing/freezing up.
on my JASJAR:
I pass the tests several times at 624mhz, all succeded.
But asap I switch to 624 I get it crashed.
Best Regards
Rosario
P.S.
the only software loaded on background is MS voice command
Time for a Hard Reset!
Hi guys. Thanks for your feedback, it all helps!
Sl9: I for some raeson still prefer the Jasjar! I can't put my finger on it, but it's probably that you can install newer ROMs and stuff like that from i-mate, without voiding warranty. I have also come to like the colour. The silver MDA Pro is nice to look at and everything, but the jasjar is somewhat discreet when i pull it out in public and I don't like to advertise what I'm carrying around with me. Just my preference I suppose.
Sub69 & qazzi76:
Ok I'm going to try a hard reset witha soft reset right now and try re-installing only Hackmaster and TCMP thingy. I'll let you know.
And sub69, I must say I concur with your decision to hold back anything not written for WM5.0. It looks like that obvious thing we all knew about in the beginning has come back to the forefront of our discussions and problems. If it isn't WM5.0 specific, then it isn't truly compatible, even if it does appear to work! :wink:
Hard reset soft reset, I need my head reset!

Run HackMaster and go stright to speed config util and select 416, 520 & 624 MHz settings then test!
All Passed! Then click close and evrything locks up!
Soft reset!! Time Now 23:56
Go straight in to PHM2005 and under scal config, select all 3 passd speed settings and click close/exit.
Then I minimise the app 8 through the PMH icon in taskbar, select 520MHz setting and go check my memory amongst testing speed performance (feel of browsing the O/S). All's well!

Anyway....go back to PHM and select 624Mhz setting, done!
Click on start menu then settings and voila the MotherF....er locks up again! Needs a reset again! I haven't even gotten around to installing Activesync and TCMP yet to try videos!
Any suggestions guys, other than giving up? Well at least i have more program and storage on the jasjar now, but my issue with o/c to 624Mhz remains unresolved. i'll post this now. Time: 00:10
I'll be up a little while yet, but will probably check back tomorrow. Cheers for the tips anyhow, guess I'm just 'bad lucked'.
Hi mackaby007,
I'm sorry to hear that - very dissapointed in fact - i wonder whats causing it to lock up like that...
I wonder if this issue can be tied to the Rom revisions the devices ship with
It's quite possible that this is a ROM issue...
Another strange factor is the your wife's mda pro has an older rom revision than both of our JasJars (Radio Stack, ROM, External Rom, Protocol version)
This is admittedly highly frustrating...

Tell me about it! Well such is life. Funny thing though, is that sub69 also has a jasjar and same ROM (i think - Ext ROM details never confirmed due to soft reset at the time) and he seems to be flying along at 624 MHz! Confusing more like! Will let you all know if and when developments take place. Night all.
This could simply be due to different chip batches.
I beta tested PHM2004 before its release on my O2XdaII and managed to get as high as 1658MHz (stable too), the next speed up caused a hard reset.
I currently scale to a max. of 592MHz (which is L=40, M=2, N=1 for those in the know) and have no stability issues at all, whereas a number of colleagues who had identical devices & ROMs (at the time) were unable to use the L=40 setting, having to limit themselves to 528MHz (L=36) as the best performing CPU speed.
According to Anton, the L=40 setting was generally considered unstable for my device which is why I have to choose the Ultra Fast RAM settings rather than going for the PHM defaults. It appears that I'm just lucky and my device has better spec. RAM than most and which tolerates the higher speeds - the same could be true for your devices, one could simply have higher grade RAM (or whatever) than the other.

1658MHz (stable too)!!! Flippin 'eck!!
Interesting comments about the different chipsets, that seems like a plausible scenario, given my circumstances and the unexplained differences between supposedly sames specced hardware and same ROMs.

That would be the polite translation of what I said!
The more interesting part (though expected to some degree) was that this delivered far worse performance than many of the lower speeds, since it required the N multiplier to be at 0.5x which bottle-necked the whole device. Still, it's nice to have been there!

Sucessfully downloaded and installed the WWE imate ROM on their web site and reinstalled all apps without any problem.
Maybe I am too quick to conclusions, but I noticed NO CHANGE AT ALL!!!
Bluetooth is exactly as before, call quality is unchanged, the *&^%* Jam still cannot send anything by Infrared and worse, the Camera quality is now worse than pre patch!
Overall not a bad upgrade really, just a waste of time and effort!
I finally got all my apps installed as well. Wasn't easy. And to sum it all up, I didn't notice any discernable differences. Sound quality is the same. Stability is the same.
Anyone know what fixes and updates were supposed to be included in the update? Or did anyone find anything at all to be any different?
The only thing I can tell that it did was make my mp3's sound horrible. Very muddy sounding. I'm about to odwnload pocket music and see if the eq on there can fix it. Also looking for a way to downgrade.
Question for you imaters:
I had an imate for 3 weeks and sent it back to Amazon, bought the MDA Compact instead.
T_mobile has no support for this phone : they built correctly the first time
BT Active Sync with PC, no problem, but I never managed this with Imate
BT with GPS, worked with both IMATE & MDA
The MDA rom is stable, has good sound, photo's are ok, like all HTC devices.
So why not just leave Imate and change to the MDA UK Rom??

This makes sense as the operators often do a fair amount of the own device QA, change requests, etc. when they look at any new device. If they don't, they pay for it in customer support. Imate being a relatively new company has yet to prove whether or not it has the same structured approach to their product management. I tell you one thing, Imate will certainly not have the same amount of resources available to them nor will they have as much attention from HTC. That said there is a lot to be said for not being an operator when it comes to efficiency (but that is a different story). Enough editorial...
Does anyone know what the major differences are between the new imate ROM and the current MDA UK ROM? Has anyone used both and/or done a side by side comparison? Does it work on other networks? I'd be interested to hear more.
Ian Wood
I had both
I had both and the major difference lay in the sound and the Bluetooth. Which is why I sent the Imate back.
Besides that, I have had an XDA1, XDA2, and the mda is the most stable rom yet (though the 2003 SE was pretty good on XDA2)
Also price, Imate =389GBP, Amazon, MDA=240GBP, given that it works better, it was a no brainer here.

Is that with regards to stability and quality or are there more features as well? In your estimation, is the difference worth a full reinstall? Thanks for the feedback btw.
Ian
imho the new rom is NOT worth a hard reset and all the reinstalling/reconfiguring/resyncing that goes with it.
to be blunt, I cannot see the difference unless I REALLY go looking for it.
I did the upgrade no problems, and my sound quality is a bit better. (less tinny) I recommend that if you do the upgrade use a quality backup program like sprite backup. I simply restored my previous backup over this upgrade and it went smoothly. I understand a fresh start is also sometimes preferable for for testing and If no problems, then I stick with this. If I start having difficuties then I'll reboot. The reduced hassles makes the 20-30 bucks for sprite backup worth it.

where is the ROM for JAM WWE???
Click here to download the Arabic ma_cdlsku2_arb_10300_141_10100_ship.exe (29 MB) or
Click here to download the Italian ma_cdlsku10_ita_10304_151_10100_ship.exe (26 MB) or
Select HTTP or FTP link to download the USA ROM ma_cdl_10600_150_11000_ship.exe (46 MB)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok my iMate JAM has this under device info:
ROM: 1.03.00 WWE
Radio: 1.01.00
ExtROM: 1.03.143WWE
But looking at the iMate website I cannot see a WWE ROM... can I use the USA ROM or should I wait for the WWE ROM?
Cannot get a ROM
I have tried following the link that everyone has for the ROM at:
ClubIMate . . .
ma_cdlsku1_wwe_10300_143_10100_ship.exe
ma_cdlsku2_arb_10300_141_10100_ship.exe
But I get Page Cannot Be Displayed.
My previous experience with I-Mate, having bought a used JAM, was that I now had to buy a membership and get an ID and Password to get anything.
Does anyone have the file OFF SITE from the club, or does anyone have a password, yada yada?
Barring all that, has anyone built a better ROM than that? Is there a kitchen available for it?
And anyone looking for themes I am selling a collection of mine on eBay and offer to sell 6 for the price of 3 to anyone that references xda-developers . . . I hope you like.

As the title to this post states, the build versions for these two devices are different. Surely a ROM upgrade will not alter the version of the O/S will it?
MDA Pro: Version 5.0 OS 5.1.1700 (Build 14352.0.1.0)
Jasjar:Version 5.0 OS 5.1.1700 (Build 14354.0.1.1)
Could this be the reason for differences in performances as well as potentially different chipsets in these devices?
Some Universals seem to overclock comfortably whilst most don't, fact!
Some Universals display certain other problems (who cares which ones right now), which others don't, fact.
Readocket Hack tops out @ 520Mhz on jasjar but 624Mhz on MDAPro
It's beginning to look like it's very plausible that HTC may have used different components (with the same spec) to build the Universals and it is a fact that we're not all running the version of operating systems.
It's therefore little wonder that we are all getting such conflicting experiences of good and bad scenarios. Correct me if I've misunderstood the facts and am assuming too much here. But if we are not running identical hardware, let alone operating systems, how can there ever be a universal ROM to cure the varying types of Unversal machines?
Can anybody please shed some light on this as my understanding of these issues is limited. :wink:
No Problems on my JasJar
to expand slightly for those who haven't already read this elsewhere...
Without taking screws out and checking chip numbers, my device and mackaby007's are identical in every way (ROM, Radio, Protocol, Build Number) The only possible difference is that I didn't load any of the extended ROM. (not sure if mackaby007 did?)
However, I have no problems and mackaby007 has...one or two:!:
As he says, is there ANY explanation for this? I understand we're both using minimal amounts of software. All I have loaded at the moment is the latest versions/betas of:
Resco Explorer and Radio, TCPMP, Pocket Weather, Pocket Breeze, and at the moment PocketHackMaster. All thoughts appreciated...

Yep done that last night (minimum ROM applications install on hard reset followed by soft-reset befor the useless stuff starts to install). Then I ran the Jasjar with just TCPMP and then with HackMaster2005 installed (only). Yet it still bums out. Any suggestions anyone?
I also concur with mackaby007 and sub69 as my JasJar is now identical to sub69s (Rom revision and no external rom loaded - pushed reset button) however I am still unable to overclock the device to 624mhz in a stable fashion.
My JasJar will clock to 624mhz and will not crash however at that speed the LCD gets the occasional flash vertical line somewhere on the screen.
I put it down to the fact that this machine was designed to run at 520 no more so other components in the board layout use a lesser tollerance than if they were aiming for 624. This could be as simple as resistors capacitors transistors. If youre lucky your lesser tollerance part will be within tollerance of a better part and so will overclock better. Its kinda like blueprinting an engine. you use all standard parts but to the tightest tollerances possible and you can get great power gains, same engine same parts but picked at random produces a production engine with guaranteeable results.

hi,
I am thinking of buying a wizard.
I need to run Skype over wifi.
Skype state that they need a 400mhz cpu or more, but the wizard one is not an intel so has a different schema .......
Any of you guys running skype successfully ?
rgds
it works fine in terms of processor speed - but there have been some people including me who found that it caused the O2 flavour of the wizard to restart all the time...
thanks, i'm looking to buy the o2 one.
did that still happen on the latest 1.2beta ?
also wonder whether anyone is using bluetooth at the same time as wifi (to talk/listen to skype on a remote headset). I wonder if the 200mhz cpu can handle it
Skype!!! Download latest version it works!!!
These versions are recommended if your Pocket PC has a CPU of 312 MHz
Beta release. Version: 1.2.0.89. Release date: December 15, 2005

My brother bought me a MDA Pro from Hong Kong just recently. I'm loving the device so far, except there are a few things I've realized about the device that are rather discomforting. With help from some posts from very smart and friendly posters on this forum, I've managed to "get around" some issues that I've had (adding the BT Icon on Today's screen, for instance -- Thanks, Buzz!), but there are a few concerns I still have left that I was wondering you guys could help me with. So here goes:
1. Although I am getting used to the German "QWERTZ" Keyboard, I would like to "fix" some of the Fn mappings. Is there a utility (free, non-free, whatever) that I could use to remap those combinations?
2. The wireless manager does not display any color to indicate weather a service is turned on or off as shown in the attachment. The "All Off" button also cannot be selected. Is there a way to "activate" them?
3. I'm unable to pair the phone with my Jabra 250 over bluetooth. The same headset works fine with my XDA IIs, so its not the headset. The phone can't even detect the headset. Its pretty basic stuff, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Any pointers to debug this sort of thing?
Thanks, any pointers to any/all of the above will be appreciated!
FWIW, I found the following page on t-mobile germany's website that lists english manuals, including ROM upgrades for the MDA Pro.
https://after-sales-service.t-mobile.de/eg_online/t-mobile/t_mda_pro.htm
I have the following ROM currently installed on my device:
ROM version: 1.13.69 WWE
ROM date: 10/12/05
Radio version: 1.04.02
Protocol version: 42.37.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.162 WWE
My question is: has anyone attampted upgrading their MDA Pro with the 12/2005 upgrade found on their site? If so, I'd like to know their opinion if its worth doing the upgrade. I'm very tempted to do the upgrade, hoping the new ROM would fix some of the issues I mentioned above.
OK, after several hours of reading various posts on this site, I've learnt a little more about my device. Apparently, I have a Dopod 900 ROM installed on my universal (The Dopod Logo during startup concurs that, too )
Anyhow, I was wondering if any kind soul here could post their WirelessMgr.exe and WirelessMgr_Service.dll from the \Windows folder on their Universal? I could try to replace mine with someone else's to see if that helps at all.
[fixed thread's subject appropriately]
All those views and no replies?
these are from a O2 ROM.
Thanks a lot, dude! I'll replace mine with these when I get home tonight.
bleh... forgot to mention.... backup ur originals just incase
I've got the TyTN and the P4350 now; I'll do some comparison and report back here.
Martin
Can you test the wi-fi reception of this device and compare it with Tytn's range(weak)? Thank you.
Very short : (longer review to come)
Although the P4350 has got a slower CPU (200 Mhz - 400 Mhz on the TyTN), it's working much smoother/faster than the TyTN. The rather annoying delay (although minor) on the TyTN when using the numpad in the phone is almost not detectable on the P4350.
Seems much faster graphics.
The Autoslide keyboard is wonderful! VERY VERY nice. The keyboard simply jumps open.
More to come; when I have the time I'm going to go more in depth with my testing, trying to stress the machine a bit.
So far I'm VERY satisfied! In my eyes it's a better device than the TyTN; it now fits nicely in my pockets (17 mm thick (TyTN 22 mm)). I ended up disabling 3G on my TyTN anyway due to the battery draining - so that the P4350 doesn't have 3G possibilities fits me just fine.
I'll be back ;-)
Martin

Hi all,
Had anyone tried skype on the Herald ?
How is it as compared to Hermes ?
Thanks
Have you tested divx with TCPMP?
btw skype is about to release version which run on 200mhz
Hi Pakiyabhai,
That is good news, have you got more details on the new skype -- such as the time frame ?
The new Skype 2.2 beta is the version you're looking for. According to their FAQ it supports the 195MHz OMAP:
http://support.skype.com/index.php?_a=knowledgebase&_j=questiondetails&_i=982
v2.2 BETA download
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/downloading_low_beta.html
I've been using it with my P4350 and it works great without overclocking. Just use the headset and close other programs before starting. [hint: HTC includes the Task Manager utility in the P4350 that closes apps properly when exiting; it's disabled by default]
Ok its exactly like my beloved old jam. only with a keyboard. the speed is the same, almost better than my tytn and treo 750v. the keyboard is loose compared to my tytn , kjam, and ppc 6700. the internet loads almost as fast as my tytn, i dont have 3g in my area yet. the screen is the best i have had yet except for my old universal (to big) i cant wait for the omni... there are not enough buttons even with ae button plus imnot quite satisfied. the keyboard is the best yet. and the wow factor is the best yet. ill talk more later

Hi Daguru,
Thanks for your reply & info.
How about the Wifi reception as compared to HTC Hermis ?
I was wondering if skype 2.2 requirement of 195MHz is the MIN
operation requirement will not be ideal in practical environment ?
Also I require more feedback on the new skype 2.2 beta with
HTC Herald on the voice quality, connection quality.
As this is very important consideration for me getting this
wonderful device and not HTC Hermes.
The general comment so far is that the Herald is as fast if not faster
than the Hermes even though the CPU Hz speed for Herald is half.
I wonder why ?
I had this impression that, some of the older approx 200MHz PDA phone
devices review have mentioned that during basic operation
e.g. sms, making call etc is too slow. Does Herald have such problem
i.e. keypress respond is too slow ?
Thanks for reading
Well I have had my herald for a few weeks now. It was going to be my primary device. but also two weeks ago i got hsdpa in my area. so I was playing with my three hsdpa enabled pda phones. but here I am a week or two later back using the herald again. I have the cpu set to 252 with omapclockplus . It is just so small and cool. It is slower than my tytn when going through the menu's. But it turns on quicker, answers the phone quicker. has better sound quality ( the phone) Voice command 1.6 works flawlesly over the headset with no tweaks right out of the box. it tells you who is calling through the blootooth headset. and is much more responsive..
that said the ram leaves much to be desired. I admit I have a tun of programs that i consider must haves. But on a fresh soft boot I have 19 mb free. about two mins later its at 15 and it seems to be hovering around 12 or 13. Ok so i have never had a low mem problem, but I like to have it there.
