Always on line for xda 1??

Any body knows for xda 1, you can keep checking new mail arrival through GPRS?
I heard people using xda 2 can do that. But is there any chance xda 1 can do the same thing?
Actually, when u do the setting for POP account, it ask u to set how many minutes to check for new messages. But it never work because the GPRS will close automatically.
Thanks very much. :?

Sure it can be done!
Take a look at:
http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgrade/0,,170,00.html
BTW the above is one of many!
also where are you located?
HTH

I am using the most updated PPC2002 version already. (3.20.06 ROM and 4.21 Radio)
Do u mean I have to upgrade to PPC2003?
I doubt that because they are not very stable for me to use in Hong Kong so far from other guy's comments in this website.
Thanks very much.

Since you're already running the latest upgrade its suppose to work but since it doesn't I would have to say that your always-on settings are at fault. So go to Start, Settings, Connections and make sure that its set to not disconnect.
HTH

Are you sure that it is also for xda1 ?
I can't locate that "not disconnect" setting.
Please clarify.
Thanks so much.

It should say some thing like this:
GPRS connection to remain active once the device enters power save mode.
At least it does on the PPC 2002 latest AT&T ROM and the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2. (which is bases on the O2 3.17.03 ROM).
HTH

That's really strange for my O2 xda!
I only found a setting called GPRS Suspend Mode setting.
It said,
When you are in power-saving mode, do you want to:
- Keep GPRS connection
- End GPRS connection
I clicked on the first one.
Then I close it, and connect to GPRS.
Just for a while, the connection ends by itself.
Any thought?
Thanks a lot again.

Yeap thats the correct setting and the same one I'm speaking of!
I read a lot of bad reports about the 4.21 radio stack so it might be at fault.
Maybe you should think about upgrading to the Qtec radio stack, heard nothing but good reports on that one.
The Qtek 1010 Radio Stack Upgrade can be found at:
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
BTW read the WARNING.
BTW do you have a URL for that newer o2 ROM, I'd like to install it and see if it does the same for me/
HTH

Here it is.
http://www.myxda.com/web/template/SoftwareUpgradeIntroduction.vm
BTW, I am a bit nervous to install the radio file cause I have bad experience that almost kill my phone.
Is it really okay just to install the radio file?

Like I said I've heard nothing but good reports on upgrading to this radio
stack (no failed upgrades have been reported but as with any upgrade there is always a possibility). :wink:
BTW thanks for the link!

Hi Qman,
Have u tried to update that ROM?
Is there the same problem?

Unable to download, it kept asking for a IMEI.
You wouldn't happen to have the direct download link would you?

Oh! I didn't realize that...sorry.
I am still a bit nervous for upgrading (or is it actually downgrading) to the i-mat ROM.
If it is downgrading, I will definitely not try that...

Hi Qman,
I just notice that Yorch.net got the 3.20.06 ROM.
Also they have the 4.00.21 ROM (pre-release T-Mobile version). Is it for the US market only?
Chris

hi; Are you sure that Yorch.net got the 3.20.06 ROM??? Can't find it. I have downgraded my XDA yesterday from the kitchen wm2003 because of bugs to kitchen 2002 but it says 3.17.03 and not the one you mention???!!!

Hey,
That's not from the "kitchen". It's from the "upgrade" just under "kitchen". Check it out again and you will find it.
Anybody knows that 4.00.21 is good for o2 xda?
Chris

hmmm, currently I am using it
so far so good but there is one major BUT for me - most possibly that version makes wipe out my 256MB SD card every up to 48 hours
for me it is a major .... item
regards,
monika

That's terrible. What about the GPRS and phone reception?
To be honest, I won't use it if it will wipe off the sd contents every 2 days.
Have you tried to burn again?

so far GPRS is not working ....
but that is due local GSM provider that has some complicates setup as to make GPRS to work, phone recption is ok ... I am living in area where virtually all GSM phones had reception problems (i.e. majority of nokia phones), although in a city center it is perfect ....
just for you to know ... I have received a link from one of the group members for the most recent update - look there for details :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4556&highlight=4+01+00
regards, monika

Thanks very much for your reply.
But I think that Upgrade exe file is for US only cause that include the radio upgrade as well.
So, are you able to downgrade your 4.00.21 easily?
I am not sure whether its worth to downgrade your device to 3.20.06 to see whether its a real problem with SD card. And to upgrade it to 4.00.21 again to verify it. It may happen only at some occasion as you know electronic device can never guarrentee functioning 100%.
Hope you can fix your device.
Cheers

Getting my XDA updated!

Hey, first post, n first i wanna say thanks! The unlock app worked a treat, i now have 3 XDA v1's to sell, and one for my self, all unlocked!
So, onto my problem...
I have a plain (unlocked) XDA which ive been using religiously, and i want to update it to ppc2003. So i have 2 questions.
1. o2 have the update software on their website. Is it an upgrade to 2003?
2. If the above is a big NO. Where can i purchase the upgrade?
One little niggle tho, if i update it to 2003, will i lose the 'unlocked' status on the phone? Or is it unlocked for good?
Reference stuff so you guys dnt have to ask:
ROM VER: 3.17.03
RADIO VER: 4.21.00
Many thanks guys!

Answer
1: I personally don't know this, someone else can answer im sure.
2: You can get the update here (cook your own ROM) http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
Finally I don't think it will be relocked after being unlocked, but again the experts can answer better than I. Good Luck.

Okay, so the second link gives me all these options to make roms. Thing is, i have no idea what to pick for version etc once ive picked pocketpc2003.
Anybody able to shed some light?
DB
EDIT: Bit the bullet, updating now using what i THINK is the right rom. Will let you know.
EDIT: Seemed to work ok. For some reason tho, on every reboot, i get some error bout an app not being compatible with ppc2003. So im rebuilding a virgin ROM and will go from there.
EDIT: Same problem, this rom has nadda but a new bootscreen, today screen, and the 'reg-hacks'. I'm all out of ideas.
'This program only works with Windows Mobile 2003 (4.20.1081)

Its one of the reg hacks that is the problem, cant remember which one though.

Disable
Code:
Fix 'multiple resets make device slow' bug (not A.30.0x or 4.01.1x)
This should cause the problem. Or delete manually the file wm03hotfix from the startup of your device....
HTH
Stefan

Excellent.
Now i know what the problem is, i'll back everything up, and make me a new ROM tonight.
Cheers again guys,

Himalaya/andes problems

Hello, i have a small problem, i have a SVP M1000 for personal use, and a Qtek pocket pc issued by work, now im not really sure what the Qtek is at the moment its the same looking as the m1000 but different buttons slightly and a less shiney finish to it. the main problem is, that the MOD base im contracted at had the cameras disabled on them, due to regulations, i need the camera back on it to make life a hell of alot easier is there any way of installing the camera software back onto the device? i would change the rom, but i cant loose anything on the device because it all sync's through gprs, and hasalot of pre installed software by the firm i work for. if anybody here has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated,
ps. Himalaya is working great thanks to many pages read on here, and ovcourse the roms!
PPS. details on the Qtek
Rom version: 1.72.00WWE
Rom date : 03/15/04
Radio version: 1.14.00
Protocol version: 1337.24
extROM version: 1.72.189

The camera software resides in the extended rom, maybe it is present on yours but written out of the boot sequence. Look in your extended rom and see if it is there, if not I am sure somebody could upload it. I have an M1000 but it now has O2 rom and I am not sure that would work with your phone as I have never tried it.
A word of warning, it could mean unemployment for you and a possible lengthy interview with MOD police.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya Extended ROM Reference

thanks for your reply! if i was to put a different extended rom on, would i lose any imformation at all?? i take it this qtek is an andes :?: ive already spoken to the mod plod and they cant see any problems with it, its just the site managers a bit of a **** :shock: the problem at the time was the new euro fighter was performing testing at the base and no leaked pictures could get out, so there should be no problem with it now, if someone could upload the extrom for me to flash the qtek with that would be great, and a little more info on the precedure! if theres anything worth uploading from the qtek please let me know, i would be more than happy to upload anything.
Again thanks for the help.

can anybody help me here?

I have a blank next to my EXT ROM - -but the camera still seems to work !?

If you put in a different extended rom you will lose any proprietary cabs/programs that your employers may have installed to the extended rom in your phone. I would assume that even in the case of a hard reset your phone will install the programs that your employers wish to be available and the others will have been removed or written out of the boot sequence. Look for roms and extended roms here.

here's the camera software that usually exists in the extended ROM,just install the CAB file,and.........say cheese

Noobie needs Serious Help: Problems with O2 Mini S Software

Hey everyone...I'm a total newbie when it comes to PPC phones...so please bare with me..
anyways..I recently bought an O2 Mini S...and I seem to be having some small problems with it..
when you press the "send" button, it should bring you automatically to the phone keypad...however this doenst seem to work all the time (or much at all...) I have to soft reset the machine to actually get it to start working...and then after 10 minutes or so...it doenst work again until i reset again...NONE of the "phone" functions work either when this happens...i cant go to the call history or get to any of those functions...even if I pull up the "programs" screen...and click on the "phone" icon, it still doesnt work...I have no idea how to fix it..
One solution i figured MIGHT work is to reflash the unit...cuz maybe its a software glitch...however I have absolutely NO clue how to reflash this unit...I've been reading around the site for the past 4 hours trying to learn some of this stuff...but as I am retarded when it comes to computers, I am quite confused...
and what would be the best ROM to upgrade/reflash it with??
Also, I find the machine to be extremely laggy...I dont know if its just mine...and if its the some other software problems..but its very laggy..
And a third thing...I dont know aout other branded HTC Wizards...but for the O2 Mini S, I have this Icon menu going down the left side of the screen...does anyone know how to get rid of it?
If anyone can PLEASE give me a hand...I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance...

It sounds like theres summat wrong with the ROM, also i think you might be running an old ROM too.
I'd suggest downloading the new ROM from www.my-xda.com and flash it with that, it works great on mine.
If your not running an older ROM then do a hard-reset and re-install, but reset before the O2 custom install stuff gets the chance to install.
P.S. hard reset by pressing the Voice record button + Comms manager button then tap the reset, but keep hold of the other 2 buttons untill you see the message on screen.

Hey thanks for the quick reply..
Just checked teh ROM version...some oldschool stuff compared to what you have listed
ROM Version 1.5.4.2 WWE
ROM date: 11-8-05
Radio version: 01.09.10
Protocol Version: 4.0.13.20
ExtROM Version: 1.5.4.102
I'm guessing this is a lot older than the new stuff...
Anywyas..I tried to dowlonad the newest software updates off the O2 site but its not allowing me cuz i cant provide a proper phone number...ive tried guessing some phone numbers but no dice...any help there?
Also, would it be necessary to reflash the entire device to get rid of possible bugs in the OS? or would a simple software upgrade such as downloading off teh O2 site work?
Danny, how do you find the O2 software? have you tried other ROM's such as those for the Qtek 9100 or Imate K-jam??
Any help on downloading the appropriate files and maybe a link or details about how to actually update the machine would be great.
Thanks in advance again
Oh btw...what do you mean by "
but reset before the O2 custom install stuff gets the chance to install. "?

FIGURED IT OUT!!
shweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!
LOVE YOU DANNY B!!
lol
jk
but yeah...i got a UK number from my buddy whos from the UK...downloaded the stuff..updated it...and the thing works flawlessly now...oh man...and it seems to be running a lot faster...much less lag...
lifesaver!!!

Deathnoise 1.11.171 ROM. Bluetooth patched, camera fixed. Radio 1.04

Hi,
Here's my own modification. I did id for my own purpose, and decided to share it with you.
As a Base, I choosed 1.11.171 version of O2 ROM.
I stripped it from o2 stuff, left only necessary files. I added extra bluetooth profiles and left bluetooth and camera patch from new version (pug's version doesn't have it, despite what he says in his posts on this forum)
I also added Radio 1.04 from Pug's release.
Enjoy
alpine-1.11.171-radio-1.04-bluetooth-patched-camera-fixed.rar [45 MB]
alternate downloads:
Mirror 1

And if you used it, please - give me a feedback. thanks

hmm. it's working again.. i think that hey had some minor technical issues. should be ok.

Is there improved radio strength, stability? What does .171 improve?

yes
radio was taken from pug's release (162).. which is good, because it's more stable than official 1.0
apart from this, there's patched bluetooth driver, that was officialy released by o2. _THE SAME_ that previously was circulating around this forum.
i merged it with extra profiles taken from previous releases, because some people experienced a tiny set of options with this upgrade.
camera fix was also merged from the new, official 171 release. dunno what it does, because i'm not using this function
overall, the stability is the same because main rom version is the same. it doesn't change anything in windows core. changes were made only to the extended rom. that's it.
i have many applications (including startup ones, like: spb pocketplus, resco explorer, skype, agile messenger, etc.)
i'm using my rom for a week and I, personally, didn't experienced ANY hangs or resets. it's working like a charm.

My Alpine is dead
Yesterday I tried to update my alpine to this new Rom, but dissaster happened.
Maupgrade recognized my device and my version, and I told the program to begin with the update.
After more than 3 hours the scrren was blank with usb v1.01.
I took the pda and trie to hard reset it but it has been imposible.
Now the screen only says serial v1.01 or usb v1.01
If i try to re-run the maupgrade it only says that is checking the information of my device and stays like that for hours.
what can I do to have my PDA back?????
HEEELLLPPP

if you still have the screen saying serial v1.01 or usb v1.01, your device isn't bricked. maybe try other rom upgrade

Any other ideas??
Do you know where could i find an spanish rom for my qtek 2020i, or any other Rom that I could try??

Dude, this happens sometimes. Take it out of cradle and then take the battery out. Re-insert the battery again and put it in the cradle and then re-run the maupgrade.

Has anybody had the same problem with windows vista???
Does any body know how can I find an spanish rom???

vista isn't good for flashing any htc device
