New xda 2

Hey all, im a newbie here and have just got my xda 2 on o2,
now iv read in the user manual it says when setting up for the first time it asks for corporate set up or personal ?
which is the best one to go for ?
and what are the main differences between the two ?
also its says that if the phone battery dies all the software that is not standard will be lost ? :x
any way around this ?
oh yea and one more thing....is there a room on irc dedicated to the xda ?
hope you guys can help
cheers

Welcome to the wonderful world of the XDA2!
When I first bought mine in November I asked the same question and didn't get a single answer. I still don't really know what the answer is, but I've tried both options after a hard reset and I don't think it makes any difference, although like I say, nobody has told me for sure.
Choose personal setup, I would say. Corporate is probably for IT managers who are doing something special with a fleet of XDA2s for their company.
On the XDA2 the battery (and backup) are required to maintain the contents of the system memory - all of your day-to-day usage, installed programs, files and info is stored in volatile memory, i.e. it needs battery power to maintain the contents. If the batteries both go completely flat your machine will reset completely, and when you charge it, it'll be like a brand new machine again.
This is one major weakness of the XDA2-type machines, and is done this way to maximise battery life while the phone is in use, I think. In practise it means you'll need to charge up your XDA2 at least once every two days or so in average use. It's also a very good reason to keep your files and contents regularly backed up onto a PC.
Dunno about the IRC thing.
Hope this all helps.

cheerz ben, as uv prolly noticed i also got no answer :shock:
but i went ahead n did it as personal user neways i think il learn more if i jus mess about with the fone, same way i did with my amstrad way back when, never broke that so lets hope i dnt break this..
after a long hard search on dalnet/efnet/n every other *net. only found a few sites, a few good ones there for help.
doesnt seem to be much dare i say "w a r e z" floating about for this fone, dnt knw whether this is good or bad, but seem to be able to find alot for other types of fones... one thing i did find was the nokia 6600 has ALOT of software available that can do absoloutly almost anything, frm putting in ur call plan and it working out ur fone bill for u before u get it frm ur service provider, to using it as remote control for ur tv!
lets hope the xda 2 can offer alot more(and easily available) user target programs such as these...
:roll:

NEED SOLUTION-multikey pressing problem in some great phones

hello frendz,
unfortunately there are two crappy made devices in terms of keyboard drivers.1 is jasjar(aka o2 exec) and the other(maybe coz i read somewhere) which doesnt allows multibutton press with its sliding keyboard.means for example while playing with an game emulator like pockesnes,we cant press direction(up,left,right or down) + fire or jump(w,a,s,d) at the same time.this annoying problem hasnt yet been resolved in other great ppc's as well such as o2 exec or jasjar...plz guys many users in this forum have even asked for donating money to the exceptional guy who will make it possible to use....
&&&& most important thing ZINC USERS iams ure about this problem on jasjar,but not 100 % sure for o2 xda zinc,plz check this error on ur device and plz plz respond here.....

no reply,plz guys be active in this thread

Shift 3 basic problems

Hi,
I m pretty new the UMPC unlike other on this site, So I thought it good idea to get some help on 3 basic problems I encounter in my Shift X9501.
1. The bluetooth -no matter what it wont work, every time I try to turn it on from settings it gives me the same irritating error message " There is no Bluetooth hardware installed on this device. I will really appreciate any help regarding that.
2. The SnapView size on WM6 is smaller than the screen size and it really looks silly, if there is any way to have a full-screen SnapView will really appreciate help on that as well.
3. Attach/detach to vista -This is something really school boys basics but every time I attach to vista -hear the little tone and go back to vista open Mobile Device - it says not connected, cant install anything
As I said, I bought this thing a few days ago and havent got my hands around the features so if someone would like to help please explain in laymen terms

Sorry for you.
I paid 1400 euro for mine.
Could have had mine it for 250.
It is some of the biggest mistakes I made in my life

Did you read the manual or specs before buyin

Read the manual, specs. Theré isn't any bluetooth hardware available to Windows mobile.
2. The SnapView size on WM6 is smaller than the screen size and it really looks silly, if there is any way to have a full-screen SnapView will really appreciate help on that as well.
Too bad to discover that after your purchase.
3. Attach/detach to vista -This is something really school boys basics but every time I attach to vista -hear the little tone and go back to vista open Mobile Device - it says not connected, cant install anything
Have some patience, it takes 20 seconds for WMDC to fire up...
Too bad your first posting had to be you being unhappy about the shift.
As I said, I bought this thing a few days ago and havent got my hands around the features so if someone would like to help please explain in laymen terms

So sorry that u r dissapointed with your shift ! But look at the bright side , i think if u bought it now it is quite cheap as compare to 1.1/2 years ago ( please don't compare to netbooks - they r different class altogether ) , it has very good touch screen plus speaker gsm phone calls now , xp works speedily in shift , u need extra batteries or back ups , it is not perfect but hey ! what gadget device is so called perfect in every way ? sometimes u have to sacrifice something and make do with the ones u have , being able to get free advice and roms & etc ... from xda is already in a very favourable position , whatever more u ask for further - u may get in sooner or later or none ! so please enjoy yr shift - cheers

hey bro !!
i got this imate jasjar 2 years back and i love my uni allot.

actually my jasjar suddenly started behavin weird it switched off by itself n wen i switched it back on after the windows mobile screen shows up my jasjar gets a dead blue screen n nothin happens.
tried to connect with active sync 4.0 and 4.1 bt it would not respond and show dat the phone is not connected.
i came across a thread in which a guy said to press bright light button + power button+softreset it sent my phone to a usb mode
then i used mtty tool and its command task 28 to check if my jasjar is wasted or still breathin lucky enough it dint give a formatfaliure msg and there were some steps i followed .
everything went as told n now m stuck on where to get official wm5 for jasjar and how to get out of the usb screen and how to flash the rom...??
please help

To exit boot loader mode: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
With regard to restorig WM5 - I have the official O2 XDA Exec files for their last software release. But I think you said your's is an iMate.You could see if the iMate version listed here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Upgrades is still available - if not maybe someone has a copy somewhere.
Hope this helps.

hey dat was gr8 bro....bt m still stuck with finding of wm5 for my imate ...!!
i found i mate upgrade bt when i clicked on download an error popped up "550 or 505 change of directory sumthin..."

thank you so much ..<!!

bro thankx for help i actually flashed my uni with kdskamal cooked wm5 bt my jasjar still gets dead on a greenish screen as it used to get before in blue screen wht m i supposed to do...??

Hi,
Try flashing with a WM6 rom (Tomal's ROMs are always good) and see if you get the same symptoms.
If you do then I suspect that you have a screen/cable connecting screen problem.
But lets rule out software first.

greetings bro...!!
i was up all night flashing wms
i used mtty software so many times that its commands are like hard weird in my brain cant get them out now....lolzzz
my stubborn uni was still stuck on the same dead screen but the only fun thing was that every time i flashed a new wm it used to get stuck on diff colours blue red green black...lolzzz
i scratched my head and i scratched my ass to an extent that i guess it started thinking lolzzz
i got some nice screw drivers and opened up my uni..
damn dis thing is wicked and messy it has things dat i dont know about n havnt even dreamd of in my stupidest dream i hav been lost in a computer motherboard with some good virus as my friend n some bad scary virus but in my uni motherboard i would neva..!
so i just fixed it back...n it worked for a while n den i dont know what tickled its ass.
busted again...!!
i guess ill hit the HTC service centre.
thanx allot bro
respect for ur effort and help...

Hi
for some strange reason the option "incoming com port" in the blue-tooth setting on my jasjar has disappeared. i was wondering if anyone else faced the same problem or if there is a way around it? editing registry n stuff.
because of this the previously paired devices are working fine but the new devices are unable to search the serial/com port facility on my uni.
i have tried resetting but still no luck.
any suggestions?
also i would really appreciate if someone could give me a solution for reading arabic and other such languages on uni.
(btw i am using i.e.TML 8.5 Rom and when i installed it at first the functionality was present so it cant be a ROM issue.)

...
lol... sorry abt earlier maite! i just realized the ridiculous thing i just did. i was supposed to post the reply to ur prob and then start with my sad story but somhow i managed to skip step one .
i m not expert on the device but i like it very much so i when i got one with my o2 contract i bought another one sim free just so that one would keep other company. as far as ur issue goes i have faced almost the same prob in the past and the solution was
1) rotate the screen 90 to get acess to screws at the bottom of the screen.
2) open the screws screws ... btw u might wana check if they are properly fastend before you try this step as i observed that if the screws are properly tightened this problem may solve itself... carrying on open the screws and that would detach the screen from the hinges.
3) where the hinge comes off strip open the cover a little bit and you will see two connections, one for the backlight and one for display (just like any other LCD screen.
4) press the big grip like thingee i.e. display connector with a flathead screw driver to assure they are properly in place. because in my case the connector had come off and hence was causing the system crash. although in my case the screen was only going blue after a while not the whole color palette.
just try if this one works because i m not sure if imate people are going to be any help in this case. i tried calling them a few months back for the lenscover and they said they dont support this device any more :S.

[Q] fast x2

hello everyone, i am very new to this forum and i am happy to hear that x2 got its own forum here. now, i've had my x2 for about 6 mths, at the very first few months my x2 performed quite well in context of no lag or screen hangs or ****s like that. but for about 2-3 mths my x2 starts to have those problem, especially everytime when i lock the screen n i slide the lock it wont open meaning the lock button just stuck being slided to left/right n wont open, i had to remove batt n turn it on again. i rlly hate this.
n my x2 also load slower than before, like when i try opening msgs it took much time to load the msgs, n when i type a word it come up word by word like 5-6 second after, same goes for other program. it wasnt like this before. i've used seus to update n still the same problem.
i tried searching this forum on how to make my x2 rlly fast/turbo but i rlly confused as to which i should follow n ofcoz i rlly dont get the steps they've given (installing cabs all that n so on), can anyone help me with this? frankly i am a girl n i am no expert in all this so i rlly rlly need guidance

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you'd better check the sliding lock button on the device! may be dirty or may have also been damaged...
if you want to speed up its performance, try using nueOverClockTest which you can download and obtain guidance on http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/07/nueOverClockTest.aspx

X2 is a nice looking phone but its a strange one. I ceep it fast only bay hardreseting it every 2 weeks or maybe a mounth. plus I have clean WN6.5.3 with no pan els, no slideview and thats SE buggy stiff installed on the phone. This was the phnoe runs smoothere. and I have more space on the device. plus the battery seems to live longer and the whole device seems more stable.
If you didnt do a hardreset in6 months then thats the problem. do it every month and it should be ok.

i used to have the same problem so i also hard reset every week.. but i found a solution for me..... try this app its an hd2 app but worked for me
http://hd2apps.blogspot.com/2010/10/htc-hd2-apps-cleanram-v25.html
if ur x2 becomes slow just open task manager and end all tasks and the clean your ram in level 3... this fixes the slowing problem for me u dont even have to hard reset the phone and clean win mo 6.5.3 and u can also keep the panels...... i just love this phone but some times it disapoints me but im ok with it.... i hope this solves your problem....
