New XDAIIi O2 ROM Available!!!!!!!!

It finally out. Goto http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft.html
The latest XDA IIi System Software is available for you to download. New and changed in this version of software, v1.11.162 are:
O2 Music Player (for use by O2 UK customers only)
Updated O2 Active UI
General Operational updates, improving device stability and connectivity management.
Guys, im uploading it for you to the FTP so imate users can use it etc, as you dont have an o2 IMEI.

I don't think I will bother !
The update instructions are a NIGHTMARE ! - including 2 full hard resets and all your date , progs settings etc being lost .
It took me hours on the phone to BT to get my internet settings working on my Pay As You Go sim card.
It all works like a dream now .
Is there a good reason for updating ??

I also notice that 02 have taken the opportunity to remove all mention of blackberry from their website. :evil:

Yup still no blackbery support
But we finally get o2 music player
And it does seem more stable
The radio version was only 1.0 so i kept on my imate radio rom 1.03
Works well so far tho.

What does the music player do better than the existing Windows media player ??

Has anyone installed this yet and if so Have you tried TT5 and does it solve the GPRS freeze problem?
Cheers
Lee

o2 music player allows UK customers to download and preview music tracks for 1pound each.
Ill test the gps with tt5 and post my results.

If that is the only thing then there is no point in upgrading.
Music is more or less free for download on the internet anyway.

Has update sorted GPRS connection problems?
Anyone tried it yet?
It claims "General Operational updates, improving device stability and connectivity management. "
So does this include the GPRS thing?

Had a look, the imate rom seems to be better. OS is radio 1.0.0, imate is 1.0.3
Did anyone also notice that all mention of Blackberry Connect has been removed from the XDA IIi specs page...

They are going to most likley not release the blackberry connect then. It will be released with the HTC Universal which I will have before anyone else....Muhahahaha :lol: In the states that is :wink:

how do you put the imate ROM on it? I can't get it to install as it goes on about incorrect country etc

I emailed them yesterday about the lack of blackberry on their website and recieved this reply :
o2 data support said:
Good morning
Thank you for your e-mail
At this moment in time the software for Blackberry connect is being developed, and hopefully will soon be released. Unfortunately we cannot give you an exact timescale for this, but details will be posted on our XDA website www.my-xda.com when available.
A change request form has been put in to remove the dates from the website
If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us, we will be more than glad to help.
Kind regards

- Upgrading rom's will ALWAYS nuke your settings - it's a damn reflash of the device to factory status, and has been since 2002
- Pay and Go has never been formally supported by O2 on Xda series
Your comments are misleading to new visitors to this site!

Keeping GPRS Allways Alive On WM2005

GB Tweak does not work on Windows Mobile 2005 Does anyone know of a hack that will keep GPRS on as "connected" like GB Tweak can do for BA's, Alpines, and Hemalaya's? Help!!!! It sucks that gprs disconnects when you are not actively using it.
Mike

Use phone alarm 1.22 .Tested working on WM 5.0 on Himalaya and BA

To KCA
I use AIM (This AIM switches the Taskbar to bottom)
Install, Run, go to setup and select Keep Connection Alive, Sign-On
I then press the Windows Logo and hit today and have AIM in the Background to KCA The longest I stayed on so far is 26 hours. It bumped it off cause I hit activesync

Doesn't work. For windows mobile 2005

?
I have it running on WM2005 Sx66

Hdubli,
I couldnot get the latest version of phone alarm to work on WM5 on my BA. Or do you mean to say that only 1.22 is working on it and not the newest beta.
Thanks.
Hemant.

44 hours
Connected for 44 hours so far

Is there any other fix?
For those of us who do not have (or don't use) AIM accounts, is there another fix to keep GPRS always on?
Thanks,
Fernando

i have installed GB-SOFT Tweak but i want the GPRS to turn off when i disconnect. I cannot do that though. Does the GB-SOFT Tweak really work?

aim download
tried to download the cab direct to jasjar but the filename is download.php even if I change filename the ext .php remains.
any ideas ?

I'm curious about this as well.
I miss the fact that you could manually connect to gprs. Now you have to launch the application and let it connect.
If anyone found a way to manually connect and stay connected please let us know.
Thanks

has anybody found a solution for this ? to keep GPRS allways on ?

GPRS Monitor lets you connect, but yeah, I'd love something to keep alive. The GPRS-On Tweak did exactly what it said on the tin.

Bluejacking with WM5

I'm trying to bluejack with my M2000 running WM5. I've tryed various software but none of it works, Dose anyone know of any software that will do this? I used to be able to do it in WM2003 just by sending contacts via bluetooth.
Thanks in advance WWWeed........

I would love to find a good pocket pc program that could automaticly bluejack people.on my old P800 i use a program called s-man that does a constant scan for other phones and then sends a message to them over and over again

why would people want to do that ?

for educational purposes.....

there is such a program, i've used it on my old c500 and my jasjar, it's called smurf, I forget the link, but google it and ye shall find. btw it's freeware and does auto bluejacking

STUNNING, STUNNING, thanks for the smurf heads up, you are a star!

doesnt work ir searches devices and then shows an error and quits =(( help

link
Here's the link:
http://www.gatefold.co.uk/smurf/
(download is below on the page)
Looks nice btw :lol:
And you need the Microsoft Bluetooth stack for this one,
finally 'Jack's Back on WM5'

its true, i can blue jack onedevices and then as soon as it trys again-it just comes up with and error, i wish we had a version of S-man (from p800/P9XX)
if anyone know of some better software then please to tell 8)

Ok im bored with Smurf, there must be a better software out there, i would like to do some blue snarfing for fun, does anyone know of anything better out there?

http://www.inventop.com/proximitymailsetup.exe
i havn't tested it yet,it might be the right stuff

no such luck, im sure it would work on the M1000/M2000, on my M5000 it just says it cant find a bluetooth stack so forget that download

can sum1 please post a cab for the the .net compact v.2 thanks!

the file for compact framework v2 is http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/programming/netcf/downloads/default.aspx
thats from the microsoft web page just click the top link and then download the msi file and it will add it to your activesync for next time you sync up

I cant believe that there is still not a good bluejacking program out there for WM5, or windows mobil all together, how come symbian have loads of REALY good ones and we have like 1 and thats not that good either, i rekon someone is holding out and there is a great on efor us out there!.
Anyone?

bluejacking...
Hold your breath...
I'm currently implementing bluejacking in btCrawler.
It's already working for PPC but I need a few more days to put everything up for Smartphones...
You will be able to send messages AND files!
You can for example create your own "special" version 3 vcard including a photo or sound and then send it with btCrawler.
I'm also planning to implement something like a proximity mode. When a device comes in range a predefined automessage or file is sent...
however, link is: http://www.silentservices.de/btCrawler.html

Blujacking?
What is it? I've heard of Bluetooth...but not blujacking. Sounds like something dirty when you talk about Smurfs and blujacking....LOL

Try Sniper... (M$ bluetooth stack req'd)

Bluejacking is the practise of sending text or files to other bluetooth compatible devices that support OBEX push. Most people think it has something to do with Hijacking, but infact it's just named after the guy who came up with it named Jack. Bluejacking in not "Hijacking" or "Hacking" in any sense, you can only push, not pull.

Cornholio you are a star!, i didn't relise you had been making this program, you should start a thread to see if many people are interested!, i will try it out, have you tryed using Sman.sis on a sony Ericsson phone, its very good-it might give you a few ideas.
Oink i have got sniper-it seems a bit slow and fragile but i havnt tested it enough to give a good appion so my mind might change

O2 rom up date - wow

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, or maybe I was the only one with a problem, but after installing the rom update from O2 I now find web pages opening up in PIE soooo much faster with WiFi. Pre update I used to have to wait ages. In fact, I only found out how quick it could be when i tried UMTS. Just tried a race with a mate at work, his xda exec pre rom update and my xda exec post rom update. Both of us logging into a site we haven't been to before (yes,the same site from the same wireless router and the same distance from the router). My exec walked all over his. At a rough guestimate (no stopwatch) upto 4 times quicker.
I'm lovin it
Brett

Do you have any other improvements to report on? does the update make the device faster in general? is the screen rotation any faster? memory management any better? does it still loose it's GSM connection and need a reset to get it back? etc, etc...
Cheers
Paul

When I did the update it whiped everything including my sim card! Luckily I had the numbers written down!

Well, I had a SIM card file saved on the X3 phone manager so I did have a copy. I couldn't get Outlook (2003) and ActivSync to sync up...

What other things they fixed in this release? Does the BT headset Caller ID finally resolved? Does this upgrade work with imate Jasjar as well?
Thanks, and happy new year everyone!

Few Questions.

i know im a noob but i have a few important questions i need to know.
1st. Can you use wifi without the data plan? I bought a unlocked qtek to use on cingular and i was wondering if using the wifi on my home router was free. I really dont want to see a surprise data charge on my bill lol.
2nd. If i bought my qtek unlocked, does that mean it comes already pre registered with the wifi G or do i have to install the cab i found on xda forums to make it G. Thanks again!

Hi ipodlover77 - welcome to the forum. Using wifi as you describe is free. With some of the newer roms it is already set to G, but if you have the same rom as me (see my signature) it will not and then install the cab you found - if you use the one i made it will affect the wifi settings only

oh, then can you please give me the url of the wifi settings you made? will the settings work on a unlocked qtek, used for cingular? thanks. and also, is it possible to stream youtube videos form the site on ur qtek? and finally, (sorry, i always have a lot of questions ) how would i know if im using cingulars data charge on wifi or my own? when i scan for networks on wifi, will it says like "pay"? thanks again for all the help.

My cab is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=254420&page=15&highlight=wlan
Yes the settings will work on an unlocked qtek used for cingular. You should be able to stream youtube videos via your wifi router although only those that suit your screen size will prob work properly.
You should never have to pay to cingular for using your wifi on your home router - to test this you can switch your phone to flight mode (phone radio off) and wifi will still work. The only time you would have to pay for wifi is when you connect to a pay wifi hotspot and then you would have to subscribe to the service first.

so what is the difference between the wlan g tweak and the wireless plugin tweak? and also after downloading the right one, do i just move it to the memory card via usb and open the .cab over the phone? thanks

wlan g tweak - sets wlan to g mode and wireless plugin is a today screen plugin showing operator, bluetooth and wifi status. Yes that is correct way to install

With the registry wizard this can do the g tweak for you, so you wont need my cab if you are going to install registry wizard.

Try this then - (from coolsmartphone.com) TinyTube.net continues to get better and better. They've now made it even easier to find, send and watch your fave YouTube videos on your mobile. Take, for example, this YouTube video. Notice the URL - it's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCLYGoM1GrU. Now, if you'd like to watch that on your mobile all you need to do is type http://tinytube.net/watch/RCLYGoM1GrU into the address bar. Just copy the "RCLYGoM1GrU" bit and stick it on the end of http://tinytube.net/watch/ - this can then be used or forwarded to any mobile user via text or email as the address to get the video.
TinyTube fill a very important "gap" that other sites such as Google video have already plugged - being able to convert the Flash-based videos into 3GP format for viewing on mobile devices. TinyTube.net have now added an "SMS this video to a friend" feature for the USA with plans to roll out elsewhere soon.

2nd) what is the fastest rom? Im using the updated qtek firmware and it is VERY slow. And i was wondering if there is a rom, that does everything the qtek rom does but alot faster.
3rd) how do i take that fricken vibration when i send a text message? I hate feelings the vibration for only sending a message.

Hey you have set up your own thread for Q's lol. First change your name to Wizardlover77 and we are in business!
If you just turn your wifi on via comm manager it will automatically search for you. Others use wififofum http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1020
Plenty of roms out there - which rom are you using? i.e. the numbers
There is molskis rom that gives you 30mb free ram and farias new 3.2aku rom just to mention a couple. Browse the wizard upgrading for a week or so before deciding to upgrade and you will need to decide if you have a g3 or g4 chip - ipl numbers - .001 = g4
Change your notification settings for messages in settings\sound and notifications not to have vibration.

Sprite is the only app that can restore after a ROM upgrade

ok. So when i turn off my phone, it says some data will lose? which exactly will the device lose?
and also if i turn off my phone. does meschles Wifi G tweak, erase? it says its still installed but are the settings messed up or is it perfectly fine still?
ok I thought of another problem. like I said before I don't have any data plan on my package so I'm surfing wifi over my own home router. ok so I found this really cool site that actually streams the videos to my phones WM. is this costing me data I don't have? the videos streaming url was like mms something. just want to make sure its not costing me money. and lastly do they charge me for downloading stuff from the internet straight to my phone while using my router connection? thanks in advance!! happy thanksgiving everyone!
