QTEK Support - new ROM and WLAN g standard

Hi,
iam using a QTEK 9100 device (german version). At every official QTEK Website they made a statement, that the device supports the fast WLAN G standard.
I tried it at once as soon as i got my device. Unfortunately it can only connect to b Standard. What a pitty. Why do they state wrong informations at QTEK websites?
Does anyone made the same experiences?
Do you know, where i can get a ROM Update from QTEK?
At the german webpage http://www.myqtek.com/germany/home.aspx i dont get support at all: As soon as i want to register there and type the imei number in, i get: "This device is not a supported one from Brightpoint".
Who may i contact in case of any problems or questions to the product?

Hello,
the last 4 days i have tried the german roms from xda, mda, qtek and vpa, all four versions make only 802.11b
The english roms here on ftp from qtek and imate make 802.11g,
i try this and it works.
regards

Don't forget to mention that it works only with the speed of 802.11b en not on 802.11g....!
The only plus is you can connect to 802.11g router but it is still 11 Mps and NOT 54 Mps like 802.11g....!

I dont understand. Does it now the g standard inclusive the 54 MB/s speed or does it only connect to g-only routers and drives a lower speed

you do not notice differentiated, simply only a hype with this 802.11g feature, nobody needs this.
regards

I agree, it is mostly hype, as even if your internet connection was faster than 11Mbs PIE wouldn't be able to render pages fast enough to keep up. On transfering files, I don't believe that the memory setup of the 9100 would be able to write files 'much' faster either.
The only time when it is important is for the rare situations when someone might have a wireless router setup for G connections only

A lot of wlan routers which i have contact with, are configured in g only mode. What a pity. All routers have to be reconfigured...

or flash your device with english rom :lol: :lol: :lol:

:WHS: I have a 100mb to my PC here ( LAN ) and with my cabling I could have a Gb - but... would it make make diffrence if I did ? No - unless your shiffting GB files I see no need... and the same goes for B & G.... ( and how many GB files will you process on your Wizard.

PS - At least in the UK I have 2Mb Broad band how ever even if I went up to 8Mb the up stream will still always be 256k... not sure about ADSL2 & 2+ TBH

Hello
Thank you for all these informations but :
I have my qtek with Windows in French, if i use the ROM ENG to be able to connect on g router with my QTEK, my os will stay in french or will become in english?
Let me know
Regards

If you use an english ROM, the OS will be in english too

Hi,
In order to establish 802.11G connection you need to select it in your router/PC's settings (G-mode) and choose maximum performance in your Wizard. The speed is indeed boosts when you try to access network shares

Only wondering why I can read on my english Qtek box WLAN 802.11 b? The white boxlabel says "Qtek 9100 PDA phone-WWE".

I have the same typo on my qtek9100 box ;-) But once connected in 802.11g I was really happy ;-)))

802.11g does make sense!
I agree that on the Wizard the 802.11g may not have visible effects if you're the only user on your AP/Router.
However, having 54Mbps (really 25Mbps) instead of 11Mbps (really 6Mbps) does make a difference if you start having multiple devices with a need for bandwidth. Typical use is for VoIP: you can support more clients on a single AP.
Again, not very useful for a single casual user, but in the enterprise market, it DOES make sense...
That being said, it's all screwed up if you have .11b devices attached as well cause you'll end up with the protection bit set and that has a serious impact on the bandwidth...
Typically, if you use Skype on your Wizard, amd you stream DVD over your WLAN at home as I do, you're plenty happy that all your devices support .11g.
I'd love a wizard with 802.11b+802.11a and CCX support...
Cheers,
Hal.

Nevertheless: Has anybody an answer of the other original question:
Where do i get a new ROM from QTEK. Has anybody ever done a ROM Update with an official QTEK ROM with any device?

QTEK ROM's
Yes, I would also like to know this. I have seen on the FTP that there is a QTEK ROM. Where did it come from? I have a Spanish ROM installed in my QTEK and wanted a copy of the ROM so I can go back to it after I experiment with my Universal but I don't know where to get it? Does anyone know where to get the QTEK ROMs be it English, SPanis, German?

+1 vote of interest!

Add me as well
Hi there,
I tried to get any feedback from Myqtek as well for my German Qtek 9100, but I receive the same error message, saying: Wrong IMEI Number, Brightpoint will not support this product, please contact you dealer for support. :?
This is very disappointing from Qtek, and maybeI will sent this one back and change either to T-Mobiles Version or to Imate.
It is a shame :evil: that there is not even a support section within Qtek, but funny enough under qtek.gr (the Greece Website), there you find firmware updates etc. :?
*'?12§$!

My Qtek Wizard establishes connections up to the full 54 MBit/s (usually @18 Mbit/s, depending on radio quality and power saving settings).
Regarding the German Qtek support, I'm kind of appalled, too!
Any IMEI is being denied while trying to send a support inquiry.
On the first phone number given on their website (+49 (0) 28 22 / 98 10 - 200) no one answers.
On the second phone number (+49 (0) 28 22 / 98 10 - 100) a fax answers.
They don't even habe a real support section on their website, except for a simple mail form, that won't accept our IMEIs, when sending.
What kind of dilettantes are these guys, distributing high-tech products without any support!?

Cell Info Message from Network

Hi guys,
This forum has already been invaluable to me with all the useful info it has! I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with a problem I'm having:
I've installed the new T-Mobile ROM on my Vario in which I'm using a Vodafone SIM card. Now, every time I switch the Vario on, I get a "Message from Network" telling me which area code I'm in. Does anyone know how I can disable this notification?
I thought I had managed to stop this - I put the SIM card back in my K750i and unsubscribed from all cell info channels. The message didn't come up the next time I switched on the Vario but now it's come back again. I've deselected Broadcast Channels in the phone control panel.
Any help would be much appreciated!

"Message from Network" with area code
I also have a UK T Mobile Vario with a Vodaphone SIM. And I also get "Message from Network" after a soft reset and whenever the phone loses signal and reconnects to the network, which is probably two or three times a day on average. The message is just "020", the London area code (or the area code of wherever I happen to be).
I found a registry hack that says it fixes it, see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=481854&SiteID=1. The hack is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\RIL]
"EnableCBM"=dword:0
"EnableCBMChannels"=""
"EnableCBMDCS"=""
but it doesn't seem to work.
antlane, did you ever manage to cure this problem ? Any help you or anyone else can give me with this would be greatly appreciated.
My ROM details are:
ROM version 1.6.2.4 WWE
ROM date 11/15/05
Radio version 01.12.10
Protocol version 4.0.13.23
ExtROM version 1.6.2.105
Thanks.

Solution found ! Do a ROM Uograde.
I upgraded my Vario to the latest official UK T Mobile ROM (ROM version 2.21.2.6 http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html) and this has cured the "Message from Network" problem. It also speeds up the phone greatly !

guys please let me know if u could cure that message from network problem..
thank u
i have ETEN X500 WM 6

Goto Start->Settings->Phone->More and disable Broadcast Channels!

thank u pat ... but thats already disabled... let me try something else

hey guyz help needed. i just bought an acer betouch 101 and i have not inserted a sim card yet.then too,i constantly get this "message from network" mostly saying-"x% off on dp". why is this troubling me and what does it mean could someone plz tel me.......???

Yes. See the FAQ entry on Howard Forums - I wrote a piece on how to fix this. I am running the Imate ROM.

Can you point a link to the download that you mention in the FAQ.
I have the updated ROM but unable to get the GPRS working for T-Mobile USA. Many thanks in advance.

alright i got my GPRS back up and running.
i just added a new connection, called it T-MOBLE GPRS and set the access point to internet2.voicestream.com.
most people on this forum mention how this particular ROM seems to run faster, but i havent really noticed any performance increases yet

Possible help GPRS, etc
This might be of benefit to some with the GPRS trouble after update.
1. I did the Imate ROM update and had lots of trouble with GPRS MMS etc..
2. Didn't know how to fix so - I started over...
3. I installed the Qtek ROM and had the same connection issues.
4. Called T-Mobile - got a 3rd level tec and he suggested something I had not heard before. Now keep in mind that I had reset several times hard and soft. He had me go inot Comm and hit the phone icon - and turn it off and on. I am not sure exactly why - but it worked! His explanation was that since I was going back and forth between work and home that the phone (which is supposed to switch automatically didn't and) got locked somehow. I am pretty new to all of this but already did 3 ROM updates - so learning a lot.
5. Now all my connections work the way they are suppose to. Only ONE connection and that is wap.voicestream.com as it should be. My WiFi connection is blazingly fast! I am a happy camper - but I went around and around with this for about 2 days before getting a tec that gave me this advice.
Perhpas someone can tell me which is newer (better) the Qtek or the Imate ROM??
Thanks,
Shep

ok i have searched all over howard forums and here about the GPRS settings for T-Mobile USA.
in one particualr post it mentions you have to set the appropriate access point for your type of internet service. Personally, i have the T-Mobile total internet for $29.99.
I have applied both of these setting as my access point
internet2.voicestream.com and wap.voicestream.com
both of these settings allowed me to connect to the GPRS network, so i guess my question is which setting should i be using????

T-Mobile is shipping all these devices with wap.voicestream.com, and has opened the ports for people on the "real" internet service using it.
If you use "internet2", you will have problems with MMS, since you can't send MMS through that AP. There are workarounds for this but they are messy. My recommendation is that you use wap.

Wizard/WM5.0 - Sync wireless network time??

One of the things that has always bothered and baffled me with the 8125 and I guess HTC Wizard series is that there is no built-in way to sync with the wireless network time.
This is a pain when you travel because even 4 year old cell phones like the T68i supported auto date/time updates but a 2006 brand new PocketPC device can't!?!?
Is there any app that does this or any reason why it's not supported? Just seems such an odd ommission.

there is a reghack that works apparently only on the latest ROM (2.x):
NETWORK TIME UPDATE
HLKM->SOFTWARE->OEM->PhoneSetting
Set "ShowTimeZonePage" to "1"
did not tested personally, but you can give it a try if you have the latest rom
to find out more :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...network+update+hlkm+software+oem+phonesetting
UPDATE: after setting the registry value u must soft reset and then go to Settings -> Phone . There's a new tab there Time zones

It DOES work if you have the AKU2 ROM (Imate or Qtek) loaded; I have done this on my phone and have verified it switches when you change time zones, or if you farkle your phone's time and then power-cycle off and on.

Just confirmed that this does NOT work on the Cingular 8125 stock rom. I will wait until Cingular releases their own AKU2 rom and then upgrade.

I can confirm that the TAB shows up on the QTEK ROM on the 8125, howver when the time changed here last week (daylight savings) It did not change my clock. It always did on my nokias. I dotn know if this is because the network or the phone, but It dotn work on Cingular here in chicago.
Later; Lew

sorry to bring up an older topic, but hey...this DOES NOT work with the leaked Qtek ROM. i wish there was an option to enable it in that rom. or just wait for a ROM that has A2DP in it.

Softbank X01HT Internet settings.

Hi,
I have the "OPEN" inet settings from this thread working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280566&page=2
I was wondering if anyone can check out their "factory" X01HT and see if there are different settings. My connection seems slow. HSDPA is suppose to be working right? I have yet to see a 3G signal. I only get a U so I dont know if that has anything to do with it.
BTW I have the latest JASJAM ROM (1.06 Bootloader).
I actually went to Softbank to see if they could get me the settings here on Okinawa but they never got an answer. Said they would call.
Thanks for any help.
Jokinawa

I will try today to open my X01HT and see if I have same issues as you.
Question, is there a way to buy/get Window CE 5.0 English OS and install it on X01HT?

unfortunately, it is not any setting... softbank has started HSDPA connection services ONLY within the 23 wards of tokyo and some parts of "seirei ****ei toshi" (special cities like yokohama-shi or saitama-shi.)
okinawa is not yet in the coverage of the service.... that's why your x01ht is only as fast as normal 3G...

WM5.0 OS is not sold.
however, you can change the OS by burning another ROM. to do it on x01ht, you need to unlock the device first. then, choose any WWE ROM you like, and burn it.
all the necessary info is already in wiki. you'd better read it.

Thank You
Thank You qtotter, well I was working with Softbank tech services about "no internet" and they told me to hard reset the device. They said my internet connection should be the 3rd connection under "START > Settings > Connections (TAB) > Connections"
So that lead me to believe there are connection settings. Seeing as how I can not read Kanji / Katakana can you tell when Okinawa will get the HSDPA service?

the reason why they told you to perform hard reset was the original softbank rom will restore the connection setting by hard reset. you have burnt another rom, and this does not work with your case.
secondly, they will not tell you the setting (password). if you delete the connection setting or change the password of the connection by mistake, they would advise you to perform hard reset.
currently, softbank does not even disclose the precise coverage of HSDPA. i have not read any articles about their coverage expansion plan yet.
