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

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.

Hi
My partner purchased an XDAII recently. Her job required a converged device. As I am slightly more knowledgable on computers than her, she asked me to st it up. 3 weeks ago.
I have poured over this site & unfortunately have not come up wit hdefinitive answers for the problems. I was hoping somebody could point or advise me of the correct sequence & processes I should be following to commission the dice for her. here are the problems.
1. BMW on board phone system will not function. Device pairs ok but then continues to ask for phone to be activated.
2. Faxing. What is the best method or program to use for faxing using Telstra Mobile & the O2 in Australia ? I have downloaded mfaxce 1.8 trial.
3. What rom versions & OS versions should I be using in Australia?
4. Best method for installing software or transferring files between the o2 & a pc?
The XDA is currently running the latest rom according to O2 support in Australia. But they kind of mentioned 3rd party roms may be able to assist.
I have resorted to this post as I do believe my partner will leave me for a smarter man if I dont get it going. She is alos accusing me of neglect because I have spent so much time at night trying to get it going.
Any replies or any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers.

you can do a lot of things
first maybe update your xda2 i thing 1.72 rom and radio 1.17 will solve you a lot of problems i used that set up for a long time (check country and operator errors)
then try the files in o2 app pack in the uk it as a fax program inside
a sd card will and a card reader on the pc will be the most speedy way to transfer files to a desktop pc if you have a problem with activesync
and dont use outlook etc
XDA II and BMW
You should not expect an XDA will work with BMW bluetooth device: BMW works only with few selected phones (rather oldfashioned). I had the same problem so I contacted BMW and I got a list from them: only 6 devices - 3 Siemens (of course because it's German), 2 Nokias and 1 SonyEricsson. It seems that they never heard about something more modern.
There are actually quite a few phones which are working with BMW.
Other phones are working but have some issues.
others just dont work.
Hello all,
I have an XDA IIi from O2 UK, and I recently purchased a game called Quartz 2 from Elements Interactive BV; I bought two copies, one for my fiancee's P900 and one for my XDA IIi, as it has a multiplayer option that works over both TCP/IP and bluetooth. Or so they claim... I just could not get the game to play nicely with bluetooth, whenever I tried to join or host a game via bluetooth, it instantly failed, whereas it worked fine on the P900. So I emailed tech support to see what they had to say...
Unfortunately, Bluetooth isn't able to work properly on all windows
mobile devices.
This is because there are 2 "Bluetooth stacks" for windows mobile: one
of them is made by Microsoft and one of them is made by Broadcom. It
depends on the device which one is installed (only one of them can be
installed at the same time which is done by the manufacturer of your
product). Because of some licensing issues, we're only able to support
one of the stacks.
Your windows mobile device probably uses the Broadcom stack, the one
that isn't supported by the game. We're sorry to say this, but there
isn't much we can do about this (unless Broadcom change their licensing
terms). Your UIQ device however, is able to work properly because
Symbian doesn't have these issues.
I hope this clears it all up. If there are more questions, please let me
know.

My XDA IIi runs (according to the Bluetooth Settings/control panel) BT-PPC/PE Version 1.0.0 Build 3900, with the copyright notice belonging to Broadcom. Doh!
So, questions:
Is there any way to run the Microsoft bluetooth stack on the XDA IIi? If so, are there any problems created by doing so?
Does anybody know what the "licensing issues" are? I have emailed them to ask but had no reply as of yet.
And this may seem like a silly question, but the XDA IIi *is* an Alpine (which is an updated Himalaya?), right? Are the XDA III and XDA IIi distinct models? The HTC_Blueangel wiki page mentions a German XDA III, and the forum index mentions an XDA III in the Blue Angel forum description. I just want to be clear on this
In case it's any use, the Device Information control panel contains the following.
ROM version: 1.10.00 WWE
ROM date: 12/24/04
Radio version: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.39 (my protocol is elite!)
ExtROM version: 1.10.124 WWE
Model No.: PH10C
Are there any updates I'm missing/should have installed?
Thanks!
No-one's replied as yet I see, so I'll be the bearer of bad news, citlee. You have the most up-to-date BT stack and ROM. Hopefully, we'll be getting a ROM update soon, but don't expect it to change from Broadcom anytime soon.
As far as naming's go, yes it's called an Alpine (even though xda-developers seem to want to call it a Andes). I don't think you can run a MS BT stack on your device either.
Sorry to be the one to tell you..,.
Kevin
Oh ... ... bugger
Thanks for replying, at least now I know I don't have to go hunting for updates and stuff.
So the device is an Alpine, but here it's referred to as an Andes, which is an updated Himalaya? How is it different from the Himalaya? Will software (on this site, that is, not in general, for doing things end users aren't supposed to) for the XDA II/Himalaya work on this device?
Also, do you have any idea if Windows Mobile 2005 will function on this device? Of course, prior to installing it, it wouldn't be a bad idea to see what the differences/(dis)advantages of 2005 over 2003SE are...
I'm sorry to tell you this but, Windows Mobile 2005 will not work on the XDAIIi, the upgrade of windows mobile was designed to work only with the ROM version of the himalaya. the ROM that the new XDA IIi has is different, so there is no upgrade for it now, I have one XDA IIi also, but do not worry about it becuase it will just take some time untill microsoft will force all the PDA companies to include its upgrade on their devices, it's been always like this.

Jorge
Did (a little) searching and couldn't find anything definitive.
Is it possible to use the X01HT as a modem for my laptop over bluetooth or usb using the stock, post Dec.2 ROM from Softbank?
Device Info:
ROM version: 1.33.761.5
ROM date: 11/10/06
Radio version: 1.14.01.10
Protocol version 32.50.7018.00H
If it's not possible, is there anything I can do, like trying to burn a new ROM etc.?
Thanks very much!
Gigoguy the newb
Simply put, no.
The X01HT has a lot of features crippled by Softbank. One of it is bluetooth.
There is the Widcomm stack for Hermes development thread that possibly could fix the limitation, but its not finished yet. I have played with it, but not tired modem.

Is there any information about what Softbank has done to cripple this capability? Google has only shown me that other people are annoyed that it isn't working as a modem. I can't find much about why.
And another question - would burning a new ROM, WM6 or some such, make the X01HT function as a bluetooth modem?
It should...
Hi,
I've just been reading for the last 4 hours, searching for a solution to my problem of the Hermes not working with my bluetooth nokia car kit.
Specifically, I'm getting serious breakup in areas with perfect reception.
People on the other end of the connection are hearing serious ghosting of their and my voice. Other times, the phone is crystal clear.
The phone doesn't seem to be losing sync and has always paired as soon as I get in the car and turn it on.
I bought this as a business tool and at the moment it isn't worth squat to me.
I have read as much as I can and implore someone to tell me if this issue can be fixed, and if so, point me in the direction of what I need to upgrade without all the acronyms. And yes I have read the wiki
Below are my spec on the unit.
Thanks in advance.
ROM; 1.31.305.2

Anyone have any thoughts?
i have the same problem with my dopod d810 and the nokia car kit. It connects fine over bluetooth and I can hear everyone else clearly, but no-one else can hear me properly - mainly the ghosting problems and static.
I've been looking at the following registry entries, but have not had any luck as yet..
HKCU\controlpanel|AudioAdvContrl
And as yet have had no luck...
I'll keep trying

Have you tried this software? it has additional support for the nokia HS-12W and a 30 day trial.
http://www.jetwaremobile.com
worked for my bmw x5 BT when nothing else would.
Other options would be to upgrade the radio to 1.40 and/or OS to one of the wm6 variants excluding black 3.0 and 3.1
i noticed big hands free improvements with the BT stack on wm6, to the point where I didn't need jetware anymore.
good luck!
