I just want to warn everyone the 2003 rom has many problem, since it is an internal development version. Here is the bugs I found right now.
1.Maybe it's not a "BUG". It miss the Wireless Modem which many people asked for a long time.
2.I tried Windows Media Player and Pocket Music 1.5, both can't turn off the display, which means you have to leave the display on when you listen the music. If any one can turn off the display , please tell us, may be I got some software conflicted.
3. 2 "Power" Logo on the setting menu, but the have different content. It looks like one is the new power setting tab, but it didn't provided some old fuction in the old power setting tab, so O2 kept the old one.
4. The SIM Contacts (Sim utility provided by PPC 2003) is horrible.It has NO fuction except copy the SIM card address to the phone.
5. YOU MUST NOT install Batterypack 2003 on the phone. It looks like working after you install, but your machine will never boot up after a soft-reset except hardreset the phone. (It is PPC 2003 / Battery Pack 2003 problem, not O2 / HTC's fault).
6. You will never know if the current signal support GPRS or not. It will not display the G logo in the "signal bubble".
Please add the list if you got any problem with the new rom.
If the bug I listed can't stop you install the new rom, go ahead :twisted: .
Moreover, it's not an official / final version rom, if you want stable rom, stay with XDA SE 1.1 rom.
Sorry for my horrible english~

Not a bug. it was a feature added by xda-developers.

No, it was added in the new ROMs by Qtek and O2. Whether it's a Microsoft or HTC tool I don't know, but it's definitely not ours...
XDA developer Peter Poelman,
didn't know that. i thought it was urs.
PPC 2003
Hi all
Only autentization to VPN over cetificates is good feature for me.
Another features :?
XDA-dev ROM 1.1 is best solution
It seems the "screen toggle" bug (can't switch off the screen probelm) can be fixed by install the PocketMusic 2.0 Bundle plus the 2.0_4_3 fix.
I can see a hotkey to turrn off display with 2.0 version.
Moreover, the "auto turn off display" fuction still works on the PocketMusic 1.5 Bundle version, and 2.0 too.
It's so strange the PocketMusic 2.0 works but WMP 9.0 doesn't work.
I'm happy with the PPC2003 now. If we have to wait to long beforce the official release, will XDA-Developer release an extra SE version based on the current version of PPC2003?
It still suffers fron some sms issues, i cant get a delivery receipt, and also the time sent stamp is actually the time received.
The auto config does not work, so as a result i can't get gprs working...
(Anyone know the settings for o2 uk ?)
All in all though a good upgrade !!
i loaded the 2003 rom and only have minor issues.
1. when connecting the network says voicestream instead of t-mobile.
2. connection seems slower even with the accelerator proxy turned on. the connection used to be as high as 40k according to spb gprs monitor. now i haven't seen it break 20k.
Unit no longer powers-on when placed in sync cradle; In order to sync the unit I now have to either (a) make sure unit is turned-on before placing it into cradle, or (b) place powered-off unit in cradle, then turn power on.
Not a major issue, but certainly a back-step in functionality. Anyone else notice this?
I'm using a TMobile XDA with updated ATT radio stack and PPC2003.
To Dondi :
I have your issue too, but I didn't think it is a problem for me, since I hate the machine suddenly power on itself when I am charging it.
i guess it s even better for the screen not to be lighted all the time when plugged on the cradle
Hey all. I just installed WM2003 PE. It looks and feels great. I only have the following comments:
I have installed the ROM on my Qtek 1010.
1. I can't seem to see any MIDI ringtone support on this one (probably because it's not a final release)
2. I'm still running on my old Radio Version 3.23 and my GPRS resumes connection seamlessly after calls - which is great.
3. I've read somewhere that applications will be visible on the 'taskbar' when running, but do not get this functionality also. No worries on this though, because 'Switch' works fine with WM2003.
4. Still no ability to add custom Operator Logos.
5. Hooray for the 'Busy' tone and indication!
SPB GPRS Monitor works fine with 2003. I also wanted to know from the rest of you guys: Do you have to manually initiate GPRS connectivity after a soft-reset? Or does it pick up your default connection and auto-connect?
To killercheung and Cyberb0b: You've given me a new perspective on the XDA not automatically switching on when placed in the cradle in the off state -- I appreciate the benefits you pointed out.
Also, I did notice that when I initially loaded the Ozone beta (prior to upgrading radio stack) the GPRS symbol was being displayed regularlyand I had no problem connecting with GPRS and getting decent performance (> 20 Kbps). However, after I convinced myself to "go all the way" and also perform the Radio Stack update, I now rarely see the GPRS symbol, and GPRS perfirmance has dropped to the 1Kbps level.
Now I wonder if Ozone also updated the radio (which I perhaps subsequently "downgraded" by loading the ATT RSU). Can anyone shed some light on this?
for what i ve seen Ozone does not modifiy the radio stack, you have to upgrade it yourself useing for exemple the O2 upgrade version 4.21.
As far as i m concern using GPRS in France with Orange as operator with SE 1.1 or with ozone i have the same brandwith capacity depending on the network trafic and my position, between 10 and 30 Kbps, i use SPB GPRS manager to monitor my connexion 24/7 and see what is my data consumption day by day (it also allow me to shut GPRS off without switching the phone off).
by now using ppc2003 for about a week, i have no gprs shut down, except going out of coverage area, we poor french are not full gprs anywhere, but it works pretty good in cities.
on thing i ve notices that i guess is significant :
however it is said that Gprs connexion isn t dropped any more when an incoming CSD call start, that is true but the transmissions are stopped.
I mean i can not send or recieve data while talking on the phone line. But this is not due to the software i guess it is due to the number of channels aviable on the device usually it s 4 + 1 or 4 + 2
whereas phones like SE P800 have 6 + 4 channels allowing the to really exchange data while using CSD channel.
But nevertheless it is a good upgrade cause i do not have to kill my irc session while talking on the phone (just have to hang up fast before the irc timesout ) ).
After a while the radio button don't show up anymore (control panel -power section).
Link's from program they erase themselfes!!??!!
Can anyone confirm the same situation?

T-Mo PPC on T-Mo USA
I get a lock-up on the splash screen after a soft reset. It might have something to do with Battery Bar ap. :?
I'm running it with pocket plus and PI 4.5 as well as SPB full screen keyboard and hasn't had any locks up as well. as for the SD card being formatted i saw this happen to my friend's sandisk 64mb card running 0zone 3 version of ppcpe 2003.
alex
I haven't had any of these problems. Using an SX-56 with Radio A20.10 and ROM 4.00.01 ENG Dated 5/16/03, protocol 324e4. Using ATTWS service.

No such problems so far. However, here are some bugs I have noticed:
1. The phone seems to have difficulty in re-acquiring the GSM signal after it has been out of coverage for a while. I sometimes have to switch if off and then on again when I get back to coverage.
2. GPRS - The speeds seem better, but there seems to be an issue with connecting to GPRS as the device refuses to connect sometimes even when it is supposedly GPRS-Attached ('G' icon present).
3. I use PocketNAV and keep finding this application 'HTC SAT' listed as one of the running programmes. Cant figure out what this one is.
4. If you go into contacts from the phone screen and close the contact screen without actually making a call, the contact on top of the list seen earlier will appear on the phone screen. On many occassions I thought I had wrongly dialled numbers that I never meant to call, but when I figured this issue out I was relieved that I hadnt accidentally made all those international calls.....
5. SMS WORKS LIKE A DREAM. The name of the contact still appears when you click reply, but you dont have to delete it anymore - the message goes through even if you dont. SMSs seem to be sent much faster, too...
CHeers
I can go into contacts and close it and go to the phone and it does not show the last contact selected. I suspect that this may be do to one of your applications. I have the following applications loaded:
1. SPB Pocket Plus (Latest version that work on 2003)
2. MobiPassword (Eval)
3. Fonix 1.2EN & UL Roger Voice
4. Pocket Plan (Eval)
5. PHM Registry Editor
6. Converter CE
7. Mapopolis
8. Acrobat Reader
9. Access NetFront3
10. Sprite Backup
11. Portmith Ipresent
12. Spamfilter (beta)
13. MidCast (Eval)
14. Pocket Explorer
None of these appear to cause any problems. Only SPB Pocket Plus and Fonix are loaded in RAM. All others on on SD card. I hope this helps.
(See above for ROM Versions)
SD Card Erasing on WM2003 - Solved!
I have also had that problem.
It happened to me TWICE, but after some really lengthy investigation, I have figured out what causes it--
It's the new 'Pictures' application! TURN OFF the 'Detect digital camera' option, and your problem will go away!
Hope this helps everyone. I HIGHLY suggest everyone do this NOW! It's not a good thing to loose an entire 256MB card full of documents and programs!
You the Man, thanks!
I have installed the wm2003 4.00.01 rom Yesterday.
I must all looks good and every ting i use works.
BatteryPack 2003 V5 does some strange things when I have the phone app open.
If I open a speed dail and later the call history, I can't close the call history or the Phone.
When I want close the call history, it will show the speed dail, and when I close this one it will show me the call history.
I will have to press the green answer button to get the phone app back on my screen.
Which I cant close because it will open the call history or speed dail.
Any one any solutions to this problem.
As has been stated by mnay users Battery Pack has problems. I wouldn't advise anyone to load it until you are convinced that these problems have been fixed.
I have noticed one minor inconsistent problem. After synching devise on cradle and leaving it there, after removing it from cradle it soemtimes will not recconect to the GPRS even though a G shows. A soft reboot and it will connect fine. Other times I just wait a while and it recconects fine.
I also noted on another site that was testing connections that in the fully released version it keeps track of your connection time. Nice feature once we get the release version.
I love the fact that email polling really works the way you would think it would now. Even after the device shuts itself off, it continues to get email. I set mine to 5 minutes, so it is almost like having push email. After seven days of usage I am still impressed.
Using the second WM2003 beta, 4.20.1081 build 13100, ROM 4.00.01 ENG, Radio A.20.10, Protocol 324e4, on the US T-Mobile system, my PPCPE is working flawlessly in the North Texas area. I was having severe GPRS problems after the update, but replaced my three year old Vstream SIM with the latest generation and that fixed the problem immediately.
The only inconvenience I have encountered is the fact that Omega One products (Battery Pack and Journal Bar) do not work even though the Omega One website claims compatibility in the product information section. According to the user forums on that site, beta versions exist but are problematic.
As stated by others previously, stay away from their products for now. I miss Journal Bar!

AGREED ABOUT WM2003, ALTHOUGH I LIKE THE ALWAYS ON INTERGRATED GPRS ON THE OPERATING SYSTEM SIDE AND CONNECTIVITY FEATURES.
THERE ARE A LOT OF BUGS AND ISSUES, I'M WAITING FOR THE XDA WM2003 SPECIAL EDITION TO BE RELEASED
ANYONE GOT A ESTIMATE TIME IT'LL BE OUT?
DAVE
I dont' know if anybody has noticed this. After going thorugh Start / Settings / System Tab / Memory / running programs tab I stop all running progrrams. After sometimes I go to this place again and I find Active Sync as a running application even though I have not started it.
This did not happen on my old pda2k. Why does it happen on the universal JJ. Though it does not matter but yet it is taking some useful RAM and more so my urge to know why does it happen.
I will appreicate your views
Regards
I had this problem too
It is a pain in the ass as this causes skype not work with me. No solution yet.
M
Same here. I hope they fix things like this in Rom updates.
Try putting in dummy exchange server settings, disable all scheduled updates. That should stop AS autostarting.
Hi Efjay. Remember me? Anyway.. :? can you tell me/us how to go about doing this please :roll: grovel, grovel!
Meanwhile, glad I was wrong about you! :lol:
Not to worry. Sussed it. Thanks for the tip though! :lol:
mackaby007, np glad you got it working, was at work and didn't see your reply til now on the way home. One-handed WM5 rocks.
Hi Efjay and All.
I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I had some problems whereby Active sync stopped working for me alltogether. Decided to download and install the unofficial 4.1 version of Activesync in conjunction with Magicbutton (and disabled the 'close' feature of Spb pocket plus 3) and presto, I'm no longer getting Activesync running in the background and all aplications close as they should!
If anyone is still experiencing problems in this area, give this a try and please post your experience back here.
Yeah your right Efjay, one handed operation in WM 5 rocks , but I'm still struggling to put the stylus down (I've become so used it, it's a new learning curve for me).
That's what you think
Try turning on wifi, and AS will come right back. I tried your solution and no luck. I tried faking the server and changing the schedule otpion, no luck, it just lives on....
No more annoying Activesync!!
Hi All. Just to report back, I,ve not had the recurring problem with Activesync poppin back anymore, at all, whatsoever!
Mikee: I tried as you said, and used wi-fi to surf the web, then watched a 2 hour movie on the JAsJar, then reconnected the wi-fi and listened to Resco Radio for 15 minutes, then checked memory status under settings. Nothing. No Activesync and nothing else running in memory. for me at least, the problem is gone and I'm not using any dummy server settings either! I'm typing this from the JasJar now and as we speak....just checked memory again. Nothing.
I don't know what to say, but I know you've had this problem a while now and all I can think is that it's either the software you have installed (possibly need a clean re-install of Activesync 4.1) like skype, which I uninstalled the minute I got my JasJar, or your Radio ROM update, which I have not done either.
Anyway, sorry I can't be of any more help to you, but please post your findings here if you snag the culprit.
For yor reference:

Hello All,
I don't think this problem is specfic to the JasJar, as I have the very same problem on my PDA2K. This only started happening after I upgraded to the windows of OS. So, I think it's more to do with W05 and or activesyne 04 which is needed to run W05. I have also found that this happen befor I even installed any apps on system, and I never had Skype so that can be ruled out as the culprit. Anyway, still trying to solve this bug, Have not recieved my Universal as yet...I'm waiting for the o2 version :shock: Think the black rocks! Until then I have been keeping my eye on all the help from this section of the site...Just my 2cents
Hi all,
I got rid of mine P990 and got myself this amazing tytn.I was wondering if
there is a program which shows gprs connection status and data usage?
Thanks in advance
The defacto standard program that I know of is SPB GPRS Monitor. It's a great piece of software and one of the only ones available. The other that's far less popular (based on dl's and google search ranking - not customer rating) is All-Locations GPRS Monitor. As far as I know it does the same with only minor differences in graphics. An alternative to both is using the data "add-on" in phonealarm - haven't tried it but looks like it has alot of potential.
SPB GPRS Monitor works great.
It came with my previous QTek 9100 and my current Vario 2. I don't know if HTC branded devices come with it too, but check on your CDs that came with it.
I wonder why there isn't any software that count the traffic when I use my Pocket PC as a laptop modem...
PhoneAlarm
Check out PhoneAlarm from www.pocketmax.net, it give you more then just data monitor, you got multiple phone profiles, call min monitor and more.
I'm using Smartphone gprs monitor myself on my M3100, works fine and you can just set your start billing date and let it get on with it.
The link to it is http://www.efficasoft.com/gprsmonitorppc.html...
I also use a little util to stop any data traffic unless I actually mean to use it.. such as accidently connecting to the net.. Also usefull to stop roaming connections on gprs (big bills) (Got it off MODACO forum)
Hope that helps
Thank you all for your help
Ok, in addendum to the previous post I had, I had a few problems with my 8525. First was the telnet not accessing, which is since fixed. (zaTelnet CF2 + .NET Framework upgrade). Second was the Bluetooth not responding correctly. After alot of research I found that sending as a beam will after failing to find an IR beam will present you with the option of bluetooth under "Unknown connection". So, those are fixed, which leaves me with:
My pocket msn will sign in, work for about a minute and then stop recieving messages for some reason. Then it'll work again (completely skipping any messages I should have gotten) and then stop completely. I have a feeling this might be due to connectivity to the high speed network. I only say that because I can hop on the internet explorer, browse pages for about a minute and then all the rest become unlocatable. Same way with telnet.
Device Information:
Rom Version 1.34.502.1

I just got my phone a few days ago, 2gb MicroSD Card is on its way, and I'm looking to make this a really stable phone, any insight or suggestions that might be able to help are extremely appriciated (Been googling for quite a while on this and can't seem to come up with a definate solution)
Also, I won't be upgrading to the WM6, I don't want to risk bricking my phone as I am too new to changing roms etc (First PDA phone... ever)
*shameless bump*
Well, since noone responded and I have gone and done everything here, it would appear that switching from wap.cingular (Note: Not wap.cingular.com) to isp.cingular (note: not isp.cingular.com) fixed the connectivity problem. Figured I'd post it here incase anyone ran into any problems with their messenger connecting/disconnecting etc etc. Also to note, you would need the pda unlimited if you're going to use isp.cingular or you'll rack up charges fast.
