O2 are really starting to disappoint me with their tardiness. and I work for them.
It has been confirmed as on its way but with no ETA. I hope it has radio rom .9 and the more responsive os build

Today they emailed me a "change" in their terms and conditions, and linked to a lengthy Ts&Cs page. Trouble is, they don't highlight what has changed and I have no patience to re-read the entire thing.
Same here, new contract, don't you hate it when they do that, I always feel like they are trying to hide something by sending the entire contract without pointing out exactly what has been added or changed! Perhaps it's just paranoia on my part <twitch>
I am hoping that the wait for the new O2 rom will mean we will all be pleasantly suprised at it's content, but don't hold your breath. I can just see it now on XDA Developers when it is released... "Why did we have to wait so long for this new ROM, it's crap!"
Oh well, figers crossed
Regards
There is a new build currently in test, based on the 1.30 ROM and 1.09 Radio stack. It will be without A2DP functionality.

Same here! I have emailed them asking for details of what has changed, but don't hold up much hope of a useful answer.
o2 atom

i have a wifi problem with atom....hope the new rom will solve it...
If all goes as expected then your timescales are acurate :wink:
Jumped ship to iMate rom for the time being 8)
How is the imate ROM going? Is your Exec fast, more stable etc?
Cheers

I just e-mailed o2 and was told the following:
the new ROM should be released over the coming weeks and will be posted at www.my-xda.com when available.

Pretty good, screen switching is faster than O2, phone signal seems pretty stable. Can't comment on the memory leak issues, because I'm not sure when the memory is being used for cache or when it is really leaked.
WiFi network finder has some nice changes, LIST of available networks now shows signal strength too, and alarms now have a "dismiss until 5 mins before event" thing - neat!
Thanks Doody, I think I'll give it a go tonight.
Cheers

Lord B !!!

So are you saying O2 is not going to release an update with A2DP support?
if they dont and there are a number of us on the forum with mails from O2 to the contrary then we can roast them for misleading us.
trapper:
I did not man to cause any confusion.
I have been lead to belive by a "friend" that a2dp will be supported. I will say no more about my friend.
emails. I have read more than 1 post on these forums that o2 have emailed people to say it will suport a2dp.
what is there to be confused about ?
Why did you get roasted at work for mentioning this forum ?
Please give me advise, i like the the design and the keyboard, but is there any other bad things i should know about this phone? also any other suggestions? pls help me, its nice to be here.
i have made a really good comparison between the 8125 and 8525 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285181
while i know you are only asking about the 8125 but this may give you a better insight but i would definitely tell you to go for it

your welcome.. and to be honest, there isnt really much reason to change roms if you dont need to, if your satisfied with the device then leave it be (the theory of, if its not broke then dont fix it applies here) if you think there are things that need to be changed then by all means, read up and do something about it

this person is selling a used 8125
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286560
and the 8525 is $409 with a 2 year agreement (meaning upgrade or new contract) i think you can also flat out purchase the 8125 from cingular for around $250

only if you think you necessarily need the extra space.. i would probably spend some quality time with the phone, and get to know it a little better before changing it.. it will help to you to get a better idea of what you are looking for, maybe you will want some faster, or more storage.. there are a lot of choices out there that will help cater to your needs

Hi Guys, I bought the Universal for quite some time now, and would like to do more advanced stuff with it. but I am kind of new to Rom flashing; I tried to find the threads to read, but there are just too much information on this web Forum(which is great thanks guys), and I can't seem to find the right Keyword to search, which Thread would you guys recommend me to read? or any main keyword I should search for ?
Thanks and have a very nice day guys.

Search the ROM threads...
Jwright's
Midget's
Helmi_c's
Pdaviet.
It's all very personal, fraid you're just gonna have to read up and find which is the best for you.
Hi,
I currently have an Blue Angel, but this will apply to you as well:
If your Universal is working fine, DON'T START FLASHING IMAGES!
The truth is that you MAY end up with a brick.
If you want to do "more advanced" things, why not look at all the Freeware applications you can use? Today, i.e., I got my fingers onto a Universal and tested it with my SD-Card which contains Dosbox and Windows 3.0.
You know what? It ROCKS!!! VGA is absolutly cool and speed is fine.
Think of all the DOS-Games you could run.
This is just one suggestion, but really: don't change a running system.
You read about it and it will seem simple. But if something goes wrong, you will regret it for sure.
Cheers,
vma

Start with the wiki - the best way to prevent yourself from bricking your Uni. You should then read the forums - the perfect way to prevent yourself suffering what others have already suffered.....

thanks for the advice vma, but the thing is, my Univeral is a bit too slow when it run what it comes with originally, so I think I will find a way to back up the ROM and give it a try...
Man I reply so late, because I was choked when drinking water, so the water was splited on to the keyboard, then like space bar and some other keys doesn't work, and to make the matter worst.... I try to dry it with a hair dryer, but I was watching TV.... and in 1 min it melted my keys ... so certain keys are now "forever stuck" so I am currently using a mini keyboard I had... will get anoter standard keyboard soon, this mini keyboard is making me very tried
I hope you are referring to a regular PC keyboard and not to the keyboard of your Universal!!!
Have you tried the Registry-hack's and the section on how to optimize your Universal for speed?

It's called BatteryStatuts. Search for that and it should answer all your questions...
When you find and install the program navigate over to the OMAP tab and set your overclock speed. However, be careful not to set it over 299 because instability on your phone is extremely likely to occur. To be safe set it to 286 or 273. I hope this helps......

...OR you could just download OMAPClock Plus, and not have any extra crap on your phone (unless you like BatteryStatus).
While I'm admittedly not a big fan of uni-taskers, in some cases (like this one) I make exceptions. This should not be misconstrued as admonishment for you to do the same, though.
Hey Guys,
Am really sorry, But i've just bought the " Touch HD " for my new Main device..
meaning uni becomes back-up
So you wont see me around the forum as much as i used to do
But ill still visit.. just wont post as much as i've done in the last year or so

I am keeping my 128Mb Uni too, just moved to Xperia with HD port ROM - TF3D etc. So yes, I will be popping in from time to time as well. My Uni will always be my Toy of the Year.... nevermind the year
Actually, I prefer reading my books and watching my movies on my Uni due to the screen size.
