TMobile and XDA II Blackberry

Can someone tell me if they have been able to configure the XDA II Blackberry to work with TMO in the US? Is this even possible...

No I dont think so yet. Uless you can connect to the UK blackberry enterprise server. You might want to go to their website find that link and set it up there. It might work anywhere your phone is (i.e. if you are a business travel) The US Blackberry webclient is set up right now only for Blackberry decvices right now i belive. Also the current server set up does not alllow picture transfer. Limmited file trypes. only word, excel, powerpoint i belive. Blackberry has always been weak in the attachment department. I think this is the reson you dont really see it on the handheld side yet. Im not sure what O2 UK has cooked up or if they are running the newest implimwntation of the Blackberry enterprise server. But where ever you are to get a @o2.blackberry.com or @tmo.blackberry.com address and store and forward someone has to have the BB server, and have it configured to support the device type you have.
In the mean time some interesting things.
1. the Webclient service ONLY pushes mail to your device every 15 minutes. So nothing more special then the PPC can do already. You can set your device to poll for new messages every 15 minutes. (I think in the end the BB webclient implimentation is going to be a let down, nothing new, nothing special, just something, more to sell you.)
2. If you are a member of ClubImate sign up for clubmail. You'll get access to an echange server that can be set up on the device side to get your mail as it arrives. Basicly the same thing as BB except its sync'd not just dumped onto your device for safe keeping like BB.
Just an FYI.
Unfortunatly the most stable solution I have used so far is the HP iPAQ 6315 mail trigger system. Seems to work the most reliably over all the others. The big downer is it costs SMS charges everytime you get an email, is near impossible to port to a non-iPAQ6315,
but works flawlessly.

Yes you can if your SIM is blackberry enabled. ie. If you currently have a corp blackberry device, you can take the SIM out and pop in into a XDA II with blackberry connect installed. I'm receiving Corp and bwc e-mails on my XDAII updated with the latest O2 firmware xx.181. You need to download the balckberry configuration software from O2 or search the forum as some kind soul uploaded the software here. For corp e-mail, you need to have connection to exchange server and chnage the PIN number of the device since it is based on your IMEI.
Good luck!
David

Thanks David.
I have 1.7xx.181 with Blackberry Software installed. I have a Blackberry SIM.
How do I get the PIN Changed?

Finally got it working...
The only problem I have is that the outgoing mail... It goes through the device hits my Corporate Lotus Notes but doesnt reach the recipient..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68068#68068
This is the thread with bbconfig files for lotus notes and exchange. Check to see if you have the service books on your XDA II. Did you have blackberry functionality via notes before?
May be your IT poeple hard coded the blackberry PIN to your account

Managed to get BlackBerry functionality running on my XDA2. I call it now XDA2Berry...
Quick questions I am hoping someone can help with :
--------
Regular BlackBerry synchronizes calendar & contacts to the local device. I do not think this is happning on the XDA. Any ideas on if it is possible and how to activate it?
When a message is received I hear a short beep. I tried changing the setting for Sound Event called "Inbox : New EMail Message" and add Vibration to the alert but I see that this makes no difference. Seems like BlackBerry New Message is a different event altogether that is not listed in the Sounds applet. Any ideas on changing the alert tone & activating vibrate alert?
Last but not least, I understand on a real BB device you get to surf the net under the BB GRPS plan. In my case this would give me unlimited local usage. However on the XDA I am unable to use the Blanberry,NET APN to connect for regular web surfing. I am still defaulting to my carriers regular GPRN APN for Internet connectivity. Any idea if it is possible to use the Blackberry.Net for PIE access?
Thanks & Best Regards

Not currenttly possible. Tasks, events and contacts ability will apparently be there for XDA when BES 4 is released

Same for me I think it's not currently possible for that - I did ask.

Thanks for your kind reply. Any idea when BES4 is coming out? Regards

Fax software

Hi,
Does anyone already have a solution? This is the only, but big drawback that I have with my Qtek 9000.

Does that allow you to receive faxes to your device?

It doesn't work
Hi,
I tried that software, but it's only to view fax files, it does not allow to send or receive faxes.
i'll keep looking for a working alternative.
Thanks,
JFonseca

Hi
I found this one on a Yahoo Group:
http://www.samtechnc.com/eng/introduction/mfax_intro.htm
It should work on my Qtek 9000, but i was not able to try, because i don't have enough skills for that.
Maybe someone here can try and post their experiences

Mfax is for PocketPC 2003. I asked them when they may make it available for WM5 and got the following reply;
"Right now we do not know if and when we will be able to support Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phones with our software.
The problem is that the modem i.e. network manufacturer (Qualcomm with their CDMA network) is not supporting fax class 1 or 2 in their system. Therefore we are not able to support the WM 5.0 Pocket PC Phones (or the CDMA based WM 2003 Pocket PC Phones). Furthermore HTC is - due to the lack of support from Qualcomm - not able to support us either.
So we are stuck in the middle. As long as Qualcomm doesn't set a higher
priority to the fax class support within their network (modem) we can do
nothing about this issue.
As soon as they would change this issue we would immediately be able to
support WM 5.0 Pocket PC Phones as well as CDMA phones using their network.
Frankly, I do not think that this issue will be solved soon. Faxing is still
seen as not important by the big companies (which I certainly do not agree, but we do not have a lobby or a direct contact person at Qualcomm, who has the power to change this)."
Maybe we should start lobbying Qualcomm.

We are MFaxCE's developer
We are the developer of MFaxCE. Actually, we have already ported our MFaxCE to WM5.0 successfully, but we found that HTC have changed a lot or haven't open the port for fax on WM5.0 device, we still fail to send/receive fax on WM5.0 right now.
However we are working with some manufacturer who is willing to modify their driver to make our MFaxCE capable of fax on their WM5.0 device. And we are also looking forward that HTC can do some modification or disclose some information to us, so that we can make MFaxCE compatiable with all the HTC WM5 device.
We will keep you posted about any news in the future!

any news ?

Are multiple VoIP accounts at the same time possible?

Now that there is a solution for VoIP available I can't help but get greedy So far I used a softphone with multi provider support for this task, but now I wonder: Is it possible to use two different providers at the same time? Right now I am helping myself by switching by hotkey assigned cab files (which works pretty well btw), but what I am really looking for is using one provider for inbound calls and the others for outbound telephony. There are of course providers which can act as a proxy for others, but that solution never really worked out for me as many voip vendors seem to block these attempts (especially pointing a finger at SipGate here ). So, is there any solution for handling multiple providers?

Theoreticall, they are "Backup SIP Settings" you can provision in Windows Mobile 6. Just look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa926605.aspx.
Having only one working VOIP provider, I haven't tried this yet.
However, the format of the XML provisioning is very similar to the one I posed in http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?posts/299950/.
You just have to replace parm name="SIPSettings" by parm name="BackupSIPSettings".
If you try it out, please report here.
Thanks.
--eluth.

The CAB installs fine, but there is no difference between installing a new provider with just "SIPSettings" and "BackupSIPSettings" I tried this with Arcor and SIPGate to test ut whether both incoming numbers would be available at the same time.

Windows Mobile devices and UMA

Are there any clients available, or other hacks to let my devices hook up with the T-Mobile hot [email protected] service? Not so much a samsung fan... Thanks

I have the [email protected], and currently use this feature with a Nokia 6086 and a Blackberry Curve, both work well. It would be cool to have my Windows Mobile Phone (HTC Advantage) working on UMA as well. I've have many lengthy calls with TMobile about this, and even tested the HP Ipaq UMA phone on thier network. To no avail, TMobile has not been willing to provide details of setting up UMA on potentially compatible devices, and to date, I haven't seen any Windows Mobile devices that can work on the [email protected] The general consensus is that TMobile will release the succcesor to the Wing (once that model has sold out) with a Kineto UMA client built-in. But, if they do this, it is unlikely that other Windows Mobile devices will work, as TMobile would want their customers to purchase the new device. For the moment, I wish that TMobile would upgrade their data network to a higher speed. It's coming, but taking too long for my taste.

I believe that UMA might be hardware based but then again, what do i know?
Clarifications?

UMA and Windows Mobile Devices - [email protected]
I have an iPAQ 910c. This has WM 6.1. I too would like to get a WM 6.1 device to work on the [email protected] network.
I had inquired of Bernard Debbasch at Vitendo Systems, Inc. (an outfit that does the programming for this) about a mod to allow WM devices to use Unlicense Mobile Access to get to [email protected] services. Here is the thread:

Hello Ron,
Our company is focused on working with operators and their OEM. We do not
work directly with consumers or individual cellphones. FYI, the addition of
UMA on a cellphone is quite intrusive and cannot really be done as a

I posted a similar question somewhere on xda. What exactly does he mean by intrusive? Seems like a vague reply. As is we aren't prepared to be very "intrusive" with our phones...
If UMA is a protocol I don't see why a bridge couldn't be written to disable the radio stack when the @Home is detected and enable the call through the Wi-Fi connection with the proper protocol in place. How would T-Mobile ever know?
Proprietary hardware sucks but it's the cheapest VoIP I've ever seen... outside of Skype and the like.

I just got the Tmo Shadow II, and the UMA thingy works very very well.
In fact I did not even activate the 9.99 plan for unlimited calls. It just worked (may be a bug with tmo so far) but I am not sure if tmo intends it that way.
I would not even mind if Tmo just used the minutes from my minute bucket, and the UMA is purely providing me extended coverage at work or elsewhere where cell signal is poor.
NOW all you SMART hackers.. I am willing to provide a dump from my phone for all you folks who want to give it a shot, "Make it work for rest of WM devices"

And intrusive to these kind of companies would be cooking a new ROM.

Any word on this? I really need to find a way to get this to work on my Titan WM 6.1 if at all possible. I work from home and cell coverage ends just down the road. I would just go ahead and get a TMobile phone but they don't have coverage in this area so if I did it would only be good at my house.

I am glad to read it here.

willing to dump
I am willing to dump the ROM guys.
provided, (since its my wife's phone)
she does not loose her data.
rom dump wont include contacts and other personal data on the phone.
please just provide a link to the thread with instructions, and i will provide the dump.

so... now I broke down and got a new phone. A G-1. I still want [email protected] to work cuz I may just use the Seimens just for that if I could. I'll wait and see how the ROM dump info works out. If someone will read through pankul's wife's ROM.

htc-shadow II 2009 UMA-need your way to activate
It should work w/o using the minutes on UMA.
The WiFi connection works fine on my phone but uses the talk time minutes.

If you got a clu on what to do, please reply on share your dump in \Windows\UMA

uma - mmmm!
i spoke today to orange UK, and the adviser that i regularly speak to advised me that UMA is a network thing, and is added or part of a networks own rom, or can be added via an update from the said network.
its orange and vodafone's big thing in the UK.
most handsets that support are the Blackberry's and the nokia's

Straight from the lips of HTC via their tech support bods
Any device that uses WIFI can be made to use UMA software, it's down to the network provider to supply the software either within a ROM or as a patch. Or via a 3rd party to supply a download, then you just need the help to configure to network.
Once the software is on the device, it just needs the info from the network to allow you to configure it.

So all we really need is a 'generic' UMA client for WinMo that does the following?
- detect the nominated wireless network
- checks for access to the UMA servers at the provider
- connects to the above, and routes all previous GSM Traffic thru
the nice shiny UMA connection
- shuts off the GSM radio until such time that any of the above
are no longer available.
Not being a programmer, that seems awfully simple. If I were a programmer, it would probably most likely be MORE difficult.
As OrangeUK are now offering UMA for free (on supported handsets) I don't think it will be long until there is a WinMo UMA client.
Obviously the Android / Tmo G1 has it already - and it'll be hard-coded with Tmo's UMA servers. A little hackage should see you able to change the server to which it connects. A little hackage on your home network should let you find out what the server is too.
How does the billing side of it work? Initially my thought was by IMEI - so what if I borrow a friend's UMA phone, if it's by IMEI then he'd get the bills. Which would be nice, but a little impractical and unethical.
So the conclusion is that UMA *must* integrate somehow with the radio-stack of the device, which must be able to pass a unique identifier of the subscriber (i.e. USIM Serial) through UMA. This, too, could be open to hacking of the bad type - hard coding of USIM Serial into the UMA client etc. So further thought makes me now think that the UMA client and the radio-stack keep some form of 'constant contact' - I guess in a similar way to RSAP works over bluetooth.
These are just my thoughts. I don't even have a UMA phone. But I know I want one.
Update: On Orange UK - these are the 'entries' required.
UMA Protocol = UMA V 1.0.3 (this is defaulty any way)
Take tick out of use default UNC address (if there)
Enter UNC address 'unc.singlephone.orange.co.uk'
Provisioning UNC port '14001' think that's default anyway
Take tick out of box for use default provisioning SEGW Address
Enter SEGW address 'singlephone.orange.co.uk'
SEGW certificate select 'Equifax Secure Certificate Authority'
(this is all taken from a Blackberry forum, but gives the info needed.)

UMA
I don't know if you guys are still interested in the UMA for WIN MObile or not but I went into my htc-shadow II 2009 and explored the windows folder, while it was connected to my pc and I found a UMA service cab file in there. So I was wondering if we could use that cab to install the UMA on windows mobile phones that doesn't have the UMA feature already installed. I attached the UMA cab below that hopefully someone will be able to try on their win mo phone and post a result back on here, I am curious to find it out since I am wanting to ditch my Shadow 2009 for a different win mo phone. If any additonal files are needed let me know, and I will try to help.
**Edit** I added some more UMA files that are in the UMA .zip those go in the windows folder

Yeah, same here. It's because the Shadow is a WinMo Standard (no touch screen) device.
I don't see any indication that it's connected to UMA on the HD2.
I'm pretty sure UMA requires hardware support, but I would love to be proven wrong.

Did you get it to work?

Good info (but bad news)
I hope someone can make this work, but I'm pretty sure it will be nearly impossible without specialized hardware. This article goes into pretty good detail about what is involved in making UMA work. "Because a UMA client is embedded into the baseband of the device and requires a modification to the GSM protocol stack, users cannot download a UMA client". In other words, it sounds like even if you do manage to properly setup the software to receive the GSM packets, encapsulate them with IPsec and send them over wifi, you still need a special radio chip that will redirect the GSM packets to your software.

VOIP/SIP Clients for HD2

Hi Guys,
Looking for some VOIP/SIP clients for HD2, anything other than PortSIP, Fring or AGEMobile would be preferable!
Going overseas tomorrow and my PortSIP stopped working and wont start working again so trying to find a program that's just as good AND easy to setup as PortSIP (Agemobile confused the hell out of me)
thanks,
Zhuk86

Ideally, I would love tight integration with the standard WinMo dialer.

sip client for hd2
need also a stable sip sofrware for hd2 +1
thnks for help

I tried PortSIP recently on my phoneset, and it works fine. However, as in my grief with all these SIP clients products, I fancy very tight SIP integration with existing Phone Dialer, with the option of editing Dial Plans to define outgoing call rules (was it IPDialPlan.xml ?). I heard this is how it used to be with WM5, but somehow operators have scrapped it out of ROMs in WM6.5.
Ideally, I should just dial my telephone numbers from phone, and based on the dial plan, the phone should direct calls either on SIP or Mobile Network. Am I asking for too much here?
[Loud Thinking]
I am going to bring my trusty old O2 XDA Exec out and put WM5 back on it, and then see if the SIP client can be (easily) configured on it.
