Walk-through needed please.... pretty please? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi all you brainiacs. I wonder if you can assist me. I have an O2 XDA and an O2 XDAII . With the latter I can change text sizes in the regular menus via Start/settings/system/screentext size . However, with the former this is not an option.
Now assuming I know nothing (and you would be close to spot-on) can I upgrade the XDA to XDAII status or is there a fix to give me what I need?
I would appreciate any input but am new to this game and need all the help I can get.
All I wanted was to personalise it a bit.... and now look where I am!

Need Advise from Experts

Guys,
I need your expert advise on this. I'm a newbie for XDA products, all of 'em. Previously I used two gadgets, mobile phone & PDA. Seeing the new magician form factor really encourage me to buy one of this beside, I think this magician will help me in saving more pockets by combining those 2 gadgets. However, I don't want to take wrong action when buying this product. I need all guidance I can get on this.
Currently, in my country, its more easy to find O2 XDA II Mini. I guess T mobile, i-Mate, and Q-Tek will not be here for the time being, so please XDA Mini users, help me. Here are my questions:
1. What is the ideal ROM versions when I'm about to test the product, I mean all ROMS include the ROM Radio, Ext ROM, etc?
2. Beside package content, what else should I need to check from the product?
3. What kind of programs that suits best with XDA II mini? I'm not really into game. Music & movies are more preferable and also some Personal Management apps (this one is the most essential) - Currently I used Pocket Informant to manage my Tasks & Schedules.
4. I saw a topics mentioning about audio probs, Is it hardware or software issues? Do you think I should ask the seller to open some package and test each of them?....Forget it, they won't let me anyway :lol: !
What else guys? help me please? Oh and don't forget to reccomend best apps and its version that getting along very well with XDA mini OS
Thanks
PS: Pardon me if my english is very unstructured.
Anyone? Please help?
I guess no one want to help me anyway....
Oh well.... anyway thanks for reading this thread guys
If it is easier to get local support for one of the devices where you live - I would suggest you go for that one.

I don't understand question 1.
2. Check that it's working.
3. You can download lots of free programs.
If you don't want audio issues, buy the MDA Compact from T-Mobile Germany. It's unlocked unlike T-Mobile Netherlands.
Thanks Guys for replying
Now I know why no one replies, my english is really bad huh?
Question no. 1, I mean you guys know much about ROM version, I want to know the best version, does anyone can share their XDA mini ROM version?
Question No 2, :lol: I know I should check is it working or not, but I mean should I do specific checking apart than try the phone, check the ROM, check the sound, camera, what else. If that's all I need to do than that will be fine.
Question No. 3, I heard that windows 2003 SE don't have high compatibility with regular windows mobile 2003, Could someone shares their experience what will work on XDA and what not? Or is there some apps that I should avoid in installing to a PDA? I'm a newbie, if anything happened to my XDA, I'dont know what to do except send it to service centre
Question No.4, My country only have XDA Mini right now and it comes unlock ( most phones in Indonesia are unlocked) Is the audio issue only happened with MDA or almost all magician?
Thanks for those who want to reply. Also thanks for those who opened this thread, sorry if I'm bothering you guys, I'm just a newbie who seeks for enlightment from experts
Thanks

As far as I know, there's no sound problem with the MDA Compact.
Also, I think the best ROM is the T-Mobile ROM.
If anything goes wrong after installing a program, do a soft reset.
If it's still bad, uninstall the program and do a soft reset.

Resco explorer will certainly let you do this as will Total Commander. Novii remote is a pretty good IR controller software.
As far as tips etc there are about 10000 of them. Check out the WIKI and search for the threads there are dozens of them.
cheers will do.
also, does anyone know if its possible to change the bluetooth software to enable me to send files over bluetooth?
the native (comes with it) software will enable you to send file over bt. just use the 'beam file', it will let you select bluetooth to send file.
ahh cheers i also misread the first post, the guy sugested some there too... ok so i solved the problem with b/t with u guys help, cheers. now to find a remote software that actually works with this model, any1 out there who has sucessfully used any software and what sort of distance did you get from it?

QTEK 9100 in Russian - How to get it in English ?

Hi !
I recently bought a QTek 9100 "Deluxe" while passing by Moscow ! The version is in Russian and I was convinced I could manage to get it into English , but .........
When trying it, probably as it is a G4 device, I can not do anything !
Could anyone advice please ?
IPL 2.18.0001
SPL 2.18.0001
GSM 02.20.11
OS 2.18.7.1
If you can navigate a little in russian, try hitting start-->setting--> go to the second tab at the bottom (system) and then regional setting (looks like a globe) and in the first tab there is a drop down menu that will allow you to change the language. Then, do a reset and your language should change. I've never actually done this so I'm not gauranteeing it will but I remember running across a post once saying that it would. It's worth a try anyway.
Look through the options until you see (this is as close as I can do in roman rather than cyrillic)...
Ye3NK (only the N is backwards - this is "language" - the E may be curvy with two dots above it)
AH7nNCKN (with the 7 and Ns displayed backwards and "n" is very like the maths symbol for pi - is "English")
Alternately look up each of the letters in "yezik" and "angliski" here for the exact picture...
http://www.indiana.edu/~libslav/slavcatman/trrus.html
I dont have cyrillic on this server, but even if i did you would need it installed too or you will just see mainly vowels with phonetic symbols above.
And good luck!!!
Not functionning yet !
Hi guys !
Many thanks for your feed-back !
Unfortunately I tried before and the "international" language is already selected on "English", but all menus etc. remain in Russian.
I had a talk this morning with the national provider of QTek of my country stating that there were no way, but through the net with some 80 % risk that the mobile would simply crash and be of no use !
I would really appreciate if anyone would have a "positive" experience in this regard.
Many thanks in advance !
You have to use "" Shell Tool", can find it on this forum to reflush G4 Wizard.

Thanks Fresh,
but unfortunatelly I am not really a specialist in I.T. and do not really understand what I am supposed to do.
Especially the pages starting with "ftp://" remain unreable to me ! I guess I do something wrong, but do not know what !
Thanks for any help !
Nice day

"ftp://" if you have this, you have to copy this to the address bar of your browser, then you wil see something like list of folders and files.
Click on the files you want, then it will start to download.
Looks like you need to navigate here:
go ftp://[email protected] find ''Uploads'' folder, then ''WIZARD'', then "Unlocking''
and copy all staff to your computer
Hello Free breaze,
Sorry, but at my level it seems I am even not able to log in what you adviced : ftp://[email protected] !
Trying but still no any success with passwords !
Sorry !
Strange, password is xda, i logged in one second....
I am trying but with xda as log and xda as pass and do not get through !
I brought my mobile today to a specialist, but he said that the Russian version was more advanced than the English one he had, and could not downgrade in Russian !
It is looking such a headache !
Next time I will take a simple and very small Nokia I think !
Well, i am russian, i don't have G4 Wizard, but on russian forums
a lot of people had done upgrade and downgrade G4, so you need another spesialist
I will try to search for you and make english manual how to this week, but did you think to upgrade to the WM6?
Another chance, try this:
Wizard Service Tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295038&highlight=Wizard+Service+Tool
Hi Fresh Breeze !
Many thanks for your permanent help (and there is much to do with such "specialist" as I !).
About WM6 I have read and understood that it is not yet stable, but if you have any advice would be much appreciated !
It seems the downgrade of the Russian version is a kind of must as no equivalent version in English could be found.
I had a look as well on Service Tool, clarifying now some aspects !
Many many thanks to you !

XDA Ignito / HTC Touch -

hi guys,
I have just joined the forum and this is my first post..
I have bought the XDA Ignito or the HTC Touch Diamond.. and have been exploring the phone. Was wondering if I can get some help here, i know there are lots of posts there but some things are complicating to me!
Just to inform that I am a newbie with all this stuff.
I want to customise few things:
I'm on orange and therefore I dont want the O2 screen at the start, and although I like the blue and white theme (of the TouchFlo3D), I would like to see the original version (black) also..
In the Internet option, When I click on Launch Browser, nothing happens and I have to manually open Internet Explorer from the Start menu!
I thought it is possible to browse the web in landscape by tilting the phone, but when I tilt the device nothing happens. Is it because im using Internet Explorer?
What do I need to do to purely customise my new toy lol
Also I would like to know of any tweaks that I may be able to do to maybe make the phone more faster?
One more question, I would like to know how long on average does the battery last? Mine lasts just about a day!
Thank you lot in advance! Appreciate all the help I can get!
Cheers

[Q] Internet - Graphics help pls someone? :)

Hi guys. This should be easy for someone with experience so hopefully this will come in handy for a lot of 'new to windows mobile' types like myself.
Ok so the issue - start up Internet Explorer. Go to say... ebay.co.uk and check your accoutnt for example. Then the fun begins. I want to ask a seller a question. In classic view this takes a while to load (ebay mobile won't even allow you to do this function by the way!). The problem is this. Buttons are missing on the screen. Certain ares of the selctions are not showing. Bottom line is i can't click on ASK QUESTION to continue. Guessing something is needed like java or adobe flash but i'm not going to start adding things at random and by guesswork.
So can someone advise what is needed please, if anything? Maybe a setting i have is incorrect?
Sorry for the semi-vague details as far as the technical side goes. If you need a bit more clairty then please just ask and i'll try to better my comments.
Many thanks if you can help, TSS
160 views and no replies? someone spare a few secs please? i've tried adding a java cab (javafx) but no use so now i'm seriously stuck.
hope someone breaks the silence
Try using a better browser, e.g. Opera Mini. The built in IE has many limitations.
I experience previously with internet banking where IE fails to send Login id and passwords but Opera Mini works.
