hi guys,
Does anybody know if it is possible to change the language of the MDA Compact from German to English?
because i'd like to order one, but i dont want to be stuck wit this german language on my device.
thanks.
See some of the other forums for more details...But, to answer you question... Yes, you can flash the English ROM which should be available later this week from nowicom (which is where I assume you are buying MDA Compact???

What if I buy a German one from some other place. Can I still flash it with the Nowicom software?
Not sure. Where are you going to buy???

I'm not sure. Does it matter though? It the same hardware isn't it?
No. I'm just curious b/c I had a hard time finding a place to buy. :? nowicom is about the only place where I found it "in stock".
Can I download the german version from somewhere just in case the english upgrade of nowicom won't work?
Hey Katsj I ordered from nowicom based on some of your comments. Anyway, I just took a risk and have no idea how to flash the English ROM. The support at nowicom said it was a simple update and said she didn't know how to do it either :shock: Although, she said that she would find out tomorrow. My device should be shipped tomorrow
Mike believe me flashing a pocket pc its extremely easy! My MDA compact will be shipped tomorrow with UPS Express I asked for the fastest way and I am willing to pay the 92 euros for the next day delivery!
I will let you know as soon as I flash mine and I will give you all the details!

No, that's not what I mean.
I mean, does it matter where you buy it as it's the same hardware?
I'm just thinking that many people will be buying from German websites as that seems to be the only plave it's available in Europe.

I knew what you meant. :wink: But, I'm afraid I don't know the answer. Hopefully, more info on this will be posted by some others that are in the know!!
@katsj: Could you upload the English MDA Compact ROM, or even better:
Intellidialer.cab, Intellipad.cab (in ExtRom) and cprog.exe (in windows) . . . .
If I get the english rom then I will upload all the extended rom files. Nowicom didnt send us a link as they promised today!
Thanks! Looking forward to that! 8)
can someone, who have the compact in german already, post the german ROM files please?
Just had e-mail from nowicom saying that the english rom won't be availble until Monday now.
I'm not sure if I believe them.

I don't understand why you wouldn't believe them. You think they're lying?
Idem for the Nowicom E mail: available Monday
here's the answer from Nowicom to my last email (one hour ago) :
Hello,
we are still working on it. It could be that we have it today or during the weekend. It is not sure that it takes until monday. As soon as it is available, we will send it around.
Hi,

O2 are really starting to disappoint me with their tardiness. and I work for them.
It has been confirmed as on its way but with no ETA. I hope it has radio rom .9 and the more responsive os build

Today they emailed me a "change" in their terms and conditions, and linked to a lengthy Ts&Cs page. Trouble is, they don't highlight what has changed and I have no patience to re-read the entire thing.
Same here, new contract, don't you hate it when they do that, I always feel like they are trying to hide something by sending the entire contract without pointing out exactly what has been added or changed! Perhaps it's just paranoia on my part <twitch>
I am hoping that the wait for the new O2 rom will mean we will all be pleasantly suprised at it's content, but don't hold your breath. I can just see it now on XDA Developers when it is released... "Why did we have to wait so long for this new ROM, it's crap!"
Oh well, figers crossed
Regards
There is a new build currently in test, based on the 1.30 ROM and 1.09 Radio stack. It will be without A2DP functionality.

Same here! I have emailed them asking for details of what has changed, but don't hold up much hope of a useful answer.
o2 atom
when will it be out? i read on ppcsg.com that the latest rom will be out in 2-3 wks time....
i have a wifi problem with atom....hope the new rom will solve it...
If all goes as expected then your timescales are acurate :wink:
Jumped ship to iMate rom for the time being 8)
How is the imate ROM going? Is your Exec fast, more stable etc?
Cheers

I just e-mailed o2 and was told the following:
the new ROM should be released over the coming weeks and will be posted at www.my-xda.com when available.

Pretty good, screen switching is faster than O2, phone signal seems pretty stable. Can't comment on the memory leak issues, because I'm not sure when the memory is being used for cache or when it is really leaked.
WiFi network finder has some nice changes, LIST of available networks now shows signal strength too, and alarms now have a "dismiss until 5 mins before event" thing - neat!
Thanks Doody, I think I'll give it a go tonight.
Cheers

Lord B !!!
I have it on very good authority it will ship with a2dp.
and o2 are saying it will in emails they have sent to other people on these forums.

I got a roasting for mentionning this forum at work. I work for o2, and I'm confused by that statement.

So are you saying O2 is not going to release an update with A2DP support?
if they dont and there are a number of us on the forum with mails from O2 to the contrary then we can roast them for misleading us.
trapper:
I did not man to cause any confusion.
I have been lead to belive by a "friend" that a2dp will be supported. I will say no more about my friend.
emails. I have read more than 1 post on these forums that o2 have emailed people to say it will suport a2dp.
what is there to be confused about ?
Why did you get roasted at work for mentioning this forum ?

Wait about six - ten months after other networks release updates, and check

But... but... the German version is already out! Surely the wait can't be that long? Can it?

Install the ROM available for download and check the dates on it to see how well they kept to the first maintenance update schedule, I think they just didn't update the webpage when they released the ROM. Saying that though they do seem to be a little behind the others in getting out an AKU2 package
I just called Hardware House this morning and they confirmed its available at S$1998...
BTW, the store is in Sim Lim Square, #05-66...
I hope I can drop by today...
I already got my on the last Saturday, RM4150. By the way i'm from Malaysia. I thought Singapore should be faster?
Hi chtan,
That's Great!
Some say it is already available in HWH since March 24 (Saturday), but I was busy over the weekend, so I was not able to go to SLS...

I bought my from a mobile phone shop in Penang. If you source around here, you should be able to get an even better bargain. My friend got his at RM4050.
I got mine for my friend without contract at 9500HKD (About 1200USD)

Thanks for the input. Do we know if Dopod will issue a WM6 upgrade to its early adopters or will the U1000 be yet another device that gets stuck with the OS version that it is delivered with?
In HTC/Dopod's history and attitude towards its loyal early adaptor....
It is very likely we need to get WM6 via unoffical channel. (Like Hermes)
Especially, the model# change from 7500/ 7501...

Hah. www.dopodasia.com says new products from April 07 will come with WM6... Might as well wait a few more weeks before making a decision. Thanks for the pointer.
U1000 is no longer a "new" product.
Today I was talking with Mrs. XXXX from HTC Brazil (yes they have a local plant here now) and after 10 times asking for the holly wm6 ROM, she said:

let's just say if i do share this ROM, there will be no more testing for me in the future and also i will be in deep trouble. It's a risk i can't take. But good news is I can confirm the WM6 update is coming really soon now.
Sorry to be the one to ask this but what is considered soon? By the end of the month. I can't wait for the stability of WM6. I was spoiled with my Hermes. I forgot what it was like to run WM5.

there you go, someone answer for me. Official release is said to be out next month. I will be getting beta version at the end of the month of beginning of next month. Hopefully they won't delay on the official release.
p.s. Oh, by the way, this time line only applys to DOPOD, HTC might have similar time line too. But T-mobile Ameo user should expect a slide delay if T-mobile ever wanted to release the WM6 for Ameo.
ok
We know about the official release from Dopod, but this ~internal beta testing~ is really internal.
Someone needs to share, the potential of this device only will be explored with WM6...
Meanwhile , I'm still using my Universal....
and next week... The Jesus Phone (aka Iphone)
Why is everyone so kean on WM6 - the official blurb I read only seemed to be rae about html email - is wm6 really worth reinstalling everything? (when it comes ...)
Yes it is. I had a Hermes for the past 10 months and upgraded to WM6 as soon as XDA came out with it. Even from the very first beta versions it was more stable and faster than an official WM5 version. And remember the WM6 versions I was using had been hacked up and stuff added and taken away. Even with all that I would never soft reset it during the day to unfreeze it or to get the memory back that programs had leaked. Grant it there were still programs that had problems due to incompatibility with WM6. But overall it is a faster and smoother operating system.
more bad news...

That's old news and good not bad
HTC is also offering WM6 upgrades for the most popular devices in its current range. This includes recently launched “messaging” products, which will enjoy the greatest benefits of Windows Mobile 6, such as the HTC Advantage, the HTC TyTN, the HTC S620, and the HTC P4350. The upgrade will also be available for the award-winning HTC P3300, plus some of our operator-branded devices. The upgrades will be rolled out from June, in line with our operator partners’ strategies.

according to HTC europe, the release date for the Athena's WM6 is early September...
It wont matter, come August Advantage X7501 is out which ships with WM6. Once someone gets hold of this we will get a ported WM6 ROM.

the x7501 ROM won't work on X7500, these two machine are not identical. You still need the wm6 update of x7500

I'm pretty confident given the Vast similarities of the devices someone on these boards will be able to easily and readily do the port. Therefore I confer my previous statement that once X7501 is released, we will have a WM6 ROM, none of this waiting for September business.

that is very true, anyway, from what i know and the beta testing going on, the wm6 is still possible to be launch in July, so if lucky, you will get it before x7501 comes out. Second, don't forget you need to CID Unlock your device before flashing x7501.
