I've got my GPRS always on running MSN Messenger, which should also keep TCP/IP running. Lasts at least a day if it is mostly in standby and the reception is good.
Re: On the T-Mobile sites in Germany
I tried to upgrade with the MDAiii Blackberry s/w fromt-mobile.
I first got a country id error that I worked around
Then got a device data error that I again worked around ut thi sgave me error: 116 general error so I had to give up.
Need some more help on this one.
I got this from HTC directly:
"The new product with Blackberry Connect S/W will lunch to the market later. Due to contracts with our customers, we can't to disclose further information and details. As soon as product launch to market, you will find more info on that for sure."
So it looks like we need to wait!
Interesting posting. I am also VERY VERY interested in using BB for my MDAc. Are there any news regarding the "right" .exe which will run with our "Baby"? At the T-Mobile page are too much that I really don't know how to handle the right one. Maybe any User Guide available, please?
Very interesting
Very very interesting....
But I have a look at the t-mobile link and I couldn't see any mention of blackberry in that new rom - is it there?
I too eagerly await the arrival of BB connect for the Jam. I hate swapping my sim card back and forth between the JAM and Blackberry.
Any news or progress on this? I'd also like to install Blackberry Connect on my Magician.
I'm a little confused with Blackberry. I know it's concept as I used to sell it very briefly for Vodafone. If I set my Pocket Outlook to check for mail every 3 minutes and keep my GPRS on, what is the advantage of Blackberry besides saving me 2 and a half minutes of waiting for my e-mail?
the battery of blackberries last at least 10 times longer with gprs on whole day etc
BB Connect for Magician
Yes it is going to be finally out, most of the parties have already reached an agreement with RIM and Nokia would be launching BB Connect for their N9300 and N9500 later this month. From what I understand, BB connect for magician is currently undergoing testing by the telcos in Singapore.
FYI, the current BB connect that we are testing in Singapore is currently very secure as there is a global system wipe which can be sent via sms to your device to hardreset unit just in case it is lost.
o2techie, that is great news! Please keep us informed once an install is available.
Hi folks,
i found on a T-mobile Site in Austria the following Software for the magician: the long awaited blackberry connect software update
http://www.t-mobile.at//business/mobiles_arbeiten/download/bbconnect/index.html
Now I have the following question: Does this software work also for the German verison. I am unable to ask T-Mobile Germany, since I do not have an T-Mobile phone number.
Thanks for your help.
What benefit would Blackberry provide, except for the push email concept we already got through the latest Exchange server update?

The long awaited answer, at least for me is yes, Yes YES! it works!!! BUT there are a few drawbacks. Read the rest of the post before downloading the software.
Firstly the website warns very specifically to download only the German update for germany and the austrian update for austrian mdac's. otherwise the compact could break and they probably wouldn't refund.
As far as I know it only works on the t-mobile system, i have no idea about Vodafone or O²
The compact gets a new rom:
Rom Version now is 1.13.01 GER and ROM date is 08/18/05
ExtRom becomes 1.13.130.
Installing the client software is easy setting it up not quite so easy, (at least for me). The Blackberry (BB) Client software then gives the compact its own blackberry id which you have to register at www.instantemail.t-mobile.de. - Again this only works for the German T-mobile system (as its a german website).
Also don't forget to have the blackberry push service set up for you by t-mobile. I messed around with this for a week before getting it to work properly. The T-mobile support couldn't help because the software has not been released here yet.
I am so pleased that this works. I, like alot of others, have been waiting for this since the beginning of the year. Finally the Compact is the all round machine that it was meant to be.

I think people want this cos it's the only thing some other people have over us magician owners. Honestly I can't see how it would be any improvement.
What's annoying me, though, is that Vodafone Australia have stopped charging their GPRS by the kb and are now charging $1 every 5 minutes you're online! I guess this is better for all the kiddies downloading new games and stuff to their nokias but it means I can't automatically check for e-mails every 3 mins like I was.
When I rang them, they tried to sell me a blackberry handset and put me on their blackberry data+calls plan which isn't available for smart phone users. I told them to shove it cos my phone's heaps better than a blackberry and then asked them when they were bringing in the service for PDA/Smartphone users like Vodafone Germany's website has.
I swear, if I could see the girl at the other end of the phone line she would've had the most stupid, blank, glazed over look on her face! She had no idea!
there is already also an bb update on the german t-mobile site, i found it yesterday night surfing trhough the T-Mobile Site: http://www.t-mobile.de/business/blackberry/software

Hi All
I'm in the uk and have an i-mate JAM which does just about everything I want - apart from Blackberry.
I've tried the v1.2 blackberry connect s/w from O2 on it - it loads and doesnt give any errors but doesnt generate a PIN, and doesnt display an IP address.
I've had blackberry enabled on my sim by vodafone (my provider) and Ive setup a new GPRS connection with the apn of blackberry.net
I can't seem to get the desktop software to talk to the jam either - and when I click on the 'start' button on the connect software on the JAM it attempts to connect and then just disconnects.
Any ideas anyone? I really want this to work - is there a workaround that anyone knows about?
Thanks
Will.
Let me know if you get this working. If it does I'll be straight down the shops to buy a Jam.
Hi, I`ve the same problem. German T-Mobile ROM and Blackberry Client from the blue angle (T-mobile Version). The blackberry client starts normaly, but it is not generatin a BB-Pin. It always says "Aufwartung" whatever this means. The IMEI is displayed correctly.
Has anyone an idea?
Petons
there is no desktop software for the non RIM blackberry devices, and your best alternative for instant email would be alwaysonmail.com until a client is released from RIM for use on the Magician.

Hi there
I beg to differ - I have a copy of the rim desktop software for activesync.
Its called 'Blackberry Activesync Configuration'.
Will.
Welcome to the club. A friend from a german ppc forum told me, we won't get any success, cause T-Mobile put BB in the ROM Upgrade just for MDA II & III. Even we have the CAB file, it will not work as long as someone here changes a responsible part in the registry. Just installing the CAB won't work.
But I don't understand T-Mobile. They would earn much more money (as they already do), if they would offer this service to MDAc users - and they are not less! So we may have to hope for an update...

RIM refuse to provide support for BB on Magician, to carriers. No RIM support means no software ever.
Why? I dunno, they're canadian aren't they....
Maybe they got hit by a moose....
Hi all,
I've spent the last month searching through everything so as not to waste anyones time with a simple question but to no avail and so here I am.
I've been given an XDA II from a family member as they have upgraded to the Exec and I have been using it as a PDA only. Well I see that Orange have some good deals on the go and so decide to use it as a phone/Internet enabled PDA as well.
I've unlocked it (many times now) got 2003SE on it and have put the correct MMS and GPRS settings in (The ones from Shadamehr). I've checked with Orange and GPRS is enabled on my account with them (PAYG at the mo) but for some reason the same thing that was happening when I first got it pops up
"Cannot connect
There is no modem at the above number..."
So best my small mind can figure is that somehow the 'phone part' of the PDA isn't working. I've tried other sims in it and they don't work either (o2 and Three - but I think Three is funny anyways). Is there something wrong with the actual phone bit?
It's a legit XDA with the M1000 ROM upgrade from the orange site which has made it 2003SE
Does anyone have any knowledge about how I can get my PDA to be a phone? It was once before (but with O2)
I asked this question over in Networking but they seem to think it's something specific to the phone.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

hi all,
i have just bought a new O2 Exec.. I was wondering what software/tweaks you guys recommend.
Regards,
frz
i also just have my dopod 900, similar to o2 exec and i still dont know what to install. I saw something about AKU2 or AKU3 on the forum but dont know where to download, can someone please advice/help us as my device was sometimes cannot received data signal while connecting to internet.
I just download TCPMP player to the device and it was a great staff to play with and I will not use the WMP for movie/tv.
Guys, I've just bought myself a new suit.
Would you like to come over and try it on for me?
Come on - a little work on your side will be necessary, and searching is the best way to show that you've tried.
Have a read through this thread for guidelines on using the board:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534
And then have a look here for a starter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32698&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
AKU stuff - get started slowly before you start modifying the OS too much, as a lot of the stuff on the board can make your system unstable if used incorrectly. Configure your basics, get yourself some good backup software, and then check out the wiki and the ftp.
Most of the newer roms will have some AKU support already in, I think.

Thanks a lot bro Vijay555. Will try to surf now and get more info.

Danlee....
Just out of curiosity....how much is internet connectivity in M'sia?
I'm planning on coming home during the CNY and would like to use the service if it's not too expensive.
Would you mind posting the cost of the internet connection and who the provider is?
Will it be available prepaid?
Thanks.
Fellow M'sian in US.
To vijay555,
Thanks a lot but i cant do downdoading now cause i am on GPRS connection now. But i will visit your site when i got back home.
To Moden man,
The cost for GPRS connection will be 1 cent for 1kb. You can only use 3G in KL area. You can access by using DiGi, Celcom and Maxis as your service provider.
I have recently unlocked my Prophet and am using it on O2. I spent ages getting the GPRS and MMS settings to work (have now re-flashed WM5 NVID ROM because I had too many problems with WM6).
When I finally got the MMS settings working, I found that photos sent to the device were reduced to 78x160 pixels and a very poor colour depth. Initially I thought it could have been my Hermes that I was sending it from, but then I read that O2 will 'determine your device capabilities' when delivering MMS. This made me think that it was a problem with O2 not recognising the phone and delivering MMS in 'safe' format.
After poking around at the O2 extended ROM for the XDA Mini S, I have found a fix.
There are 2 registry values that you need to change:-
1) HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\Profile
Code:
http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-1.0.xml
(the actual text, not the contents of the page - for some reason the forum won't let me remove the link lol)
2) HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\User-Agent
Code:
Xda Mini S/arcsoft-mmsua-3.0.0.xx
This fools the O2 server into thinking your phone is an XDA Mini S (which is not much of a lie). You will now get MMS in full size and full colour (providing you've got your connection and MMS service working).
Hope this helps someone because it took me ages to find the problem
Brilliant, been searching around for a fix for months. Have since moved on to unlocked SPV M700 and exactly the same problem (with O2 MMS).
genius m8, have just changed setting on M700 and hey presto full size mms!
glad it helped - i was searching for ages too (well seemed like ages, was 5 hours lol)

Hi , I also have unlocked prophet on o2 but I cannot get pic messaging to work at all.I have spent the last week trawling round everywhere for various settings.Have tried the whole manual thing and various cabs.I am seriously thinking of changing to orange or T mobile !!!!!! Could you share your settings by any chance. I am also reluctant to ring o2 because they tell you its not a supported device and I had all this trouble with my sim free imate jam in the beginning !!!!!
What ROM version are you using?
I will post my settings shortly...

Hiya Burnes,
Its the original orange rom but I unlocked it with lokiwiz and I can use my payg O2 sim as phone and sms . I haven't got round to trying a new rom yet coz there are so many and I'm confused about the hard/soft spl stuff and worried about bricking it!!!! . My M600 is G4 and the start up settings are as follows
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.10.1.22
WIN MOB 5
OS 5.1.195
BUILD 14847.2.0.0
I think I have got the correct mms settings but I think its the connection thats causing me the probs. Today I managed to "send"the messages and o2 took the money off my account but the messages only went to the outbox not the sent box.
Cheers for your help so far. o2 says muy card is set up for pic msg but I am getting mighty fed up with the whole thing!!!! : (
well done sir, going to change the settings on my Herald now!
Does anyone know the reg fix to enable you to add/remove mms settings?
@ burnes
thanks for this reg tweak. Been looking for something like this for ages.
Works a treat on my TyTN II.
Thanks again
k-c
In relation to my problem:
In your registry goto:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Arcsoft/ArcSoft MMS AU/Config/UI
There you will find a key called "EnableServerEdit" set it to 1 and you will be able to edit the server settings.

I'm really not sure about the connections. Took me ages to get the connections working, but I didn't figure out what it is that I changed. What I can tell you is:
Network Wizard wouldn't save the settings
Manual settings (from FileSaveAs) connected and MMS got to 99% but no further
I messed about with so many settings that I really can't remember how I got it working. Sorry I can't help more, but have a look at FileSaveAs, just search for 'O2 MMS GPRS Settings' on Google.
Hiya Burnes, thanks for lookin for the settings for me . I know exactly what you mean. There are so many variables and I did exact same thing. Finally got round to emailing o2 3 times with no reply, phoning them twice and gave up. Got an orange payg sim, registered it within 2 hours , put money on it. got the settings from orange website and sent mms no probs. Also can access internet too, so after about 10 years I left o2 and my number changes over later this week !!!!! Im free at last!!!
PS , I also managed to hard spl the SPV M600 and have upgraded with Cloudyfa's wonderful WM6.1 Shadow rom. It seems to be very stable, battery normal my sony DR-BT20NX bluetooth stereo headphones work fine with media player and tcpmp what more could I want ?
Well I will be putting my settings for O2 on my WM Wiki site this week. As it's only a sideline at the moment, I haven't had much time. I will post a message here when I have figured aout the correct settings.
Glad you got it working in the end!
Hi Guys,
i reliase that is an xda forum and covers xda topics but i am experiencing the exact same problem on a Samsung D880. this phone is not supported or avialable in the UK. i have only had it two days and thought it was faulty! i have played with all sorts of settings but no joy. i have checked all the mms settings. Is there anyway i can fool the 02 network into thinking this is a differnt Samsung model??
Cheers
teb
Samsung devices are not Windows Mobile based. I wouldn't have thought that there is a way, but I doubt anyone here has one to look at never mind knowing enough about them to do it.
Try finding a website that specialises in Samsung phones.

i realise that and like you say its not going to be as doing it on a windows based phone. Cant seem to find a Samsung specialist website.
Silly question but can those that experienced this problem on O2 before the fix did you try picture messsaging using T-mobile, Orange or Vodafone? Did you have the same problems with these networks.?
Problem exists on o2 Uk only - I set up an spv m600 for a neighbour on voda and tested the mms settings, picture received full size whereas my wifes on o2 always tiny pictures until this reg hack applied have used this hack on my wifes new spv m700 (Trinity) running latest WM6.1 MARY Rom and it works on that too.

Cheers! i just confirmed this my sending an mms to the phone with a T-mobole PAYG sim. Its only a problem with O2. Tried to speak to someone at O2 but was a complete waste of time and they said it was a problem with my phone being a non uk model!twats! not as good as what Samsung told me. He said that Samsung phones can only support picture messages sent to other Samsung phones and and not other manufacturers phones. I told the guy to stop being stupid and put me through to the technical department. His reply - I do work in the technical dept sir! scary!
