I downloaded the O2 ROM upgrade about seven hours ago. Halfway through the upgrade it dropped the USB connection and I also was left with a dead XDA.
I spent hours searching (mostly this site) and trying various combinations of things. None of which worked for me.
At the very end, I uninstalled and re-installed Active Sync.
I had a Palm Tungsten W before I got this XDA and found that the Palm operating system was much more robust than PPC.
The XDA is not a good choice for a novice, so thank God for sites like this :x

Hi Guys I am a new user of XDA, I have been using Palm OS for about 5 years mainly with Sony Clie machines, but I wanted to get away from carrying a PDA and a Mobile Phone I run a small taxi business and use the Internet quite a lot for flight arrivals etc so I bit the bullet and bought a S/H XDA to try with the view of getting the XDA2 shortly. As the phone was locked to o2 my first job was to download and run the great rom from XDA Developers (thanks to Jeff). My next job was to setup the GPRS connection for Vodaphone UK this is where the fun really started as my phone supplier and Vodaphone had never heard of the XDA on Vodaphone so could not help with setting for GPRS, this is where I must thank BadKev posted 10 June for his settings list I had to change area code but everything else worked Many thanks BadKev. I still have some problems with software I always used a freeware prog for logging my fuel useage and mileage that I cannot find for XDA OS but I will get round this somehow, anyway keep up the good work and the great forum.
Just look for pocket pc freeware, I am sure there is something similar.
I'm on the verge of buying an Exec from o2, and I just noticed on the the spec sheet on the o2 shop fot the Exec, that it states:
PC Sync........NO
Surely this is not correct? I was under the impression that it used ActiveSync 4 to sync with the PC?
I've found my XDA2 has become so unstable, I need to back up up every day to avoid loosing every thing - it has started completely crashing every few weeks - needing a hard boot. While I hope the Exec would be considerably more stable, I cannot assume such, so a sync/backup function is (IMHO) essencial.

Must be a typo. Every PPC syncs to a PC!
Hi all,
I've spent the last 3 weeks searching through everything so as not to waste anyones time with a simple question but to no avail.
I've been given an XDA II from a family member as they have upgraded to the Exec and I have been using it as a PDA only. Well I see that Orange have some good deals on the go and so decide to use it as a phone/Internet enabled PDA.
I've unlocked it (many times now) got 2003SE on it and have put the correct MMS and GPRS settings in (The ones from Shadamehr). I've checked with Orange and GPRS is enabled on my account with them (PAYG at the mo) but for some reason the same thing that was happening when I first got it pops up
"Cannot connect
There is no modem at the above number..."
So best my small mind can figure is that somehow the 'phone part' of the PDA isn't working. I've tried other sims in it and they don't work either (o2 and Three - but I think Three is funny anyways). Is there something wrong with the actual phone bit?
It's a legit XDA with the M1000 ROM upgrade from the orange site which has made it 2003SE
Does anyone have any knowledge about how I can get my PDA to be a phone? It was once before (but with O2)
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

No modem at above number
Thanks for the link, but believe me I've tried this. I retried it to be sure just now.
"No modem at above number" is what I get after the XDA II tries to connect.
I have no phone reception whatsoever, no internet and no SMS.
My XDA II just works as a PDA with no communication possiblities apart from USB cradle.
Again, thanks in advance for any and all help with this.

If there's no phone reception, and no GPRS, how do you expect to connect to one?
Not to be mean or anything, but aren't your hopes of connecting a little farfetched if all the systems you're trying to use are down?

Your not being mean, believe me after a month of searching through here and SPV developers anything that wuld resolve this issue would be appreciated.
Why would the phone element of my XDA just stop working? I can only imagine some sort of Hardware fault but I'm a thorough bunny and would like to make sure of this. A diagnostic app or some way of reading the phone element like a device driver would be handy.
So in brief, why has my phone part of my XDA II stopped working and how do I switch it back on again (if this is at all possible)?
Thank you for your replies thusfar Cynagen, I shall start to ask these questions in the Himalaya forum also now since it seems model specific and not network related.
Any and all further assistance is much appreciated.

For some reason after 3 years of valiant service my XDA is giving me problems. It was fine until I lost it, reported it stolen and had it barred and then someone handed it in. I contacted O2 who unbarred the phone but ever since then it's been intermittently not getting a phone signal.
I wanted to try re-flashing it with the original ROMs but it appears O2 have deleted them from their website and, using the Wiki here, none of the links work.
I really love this phone, if anyone has any clue why it may be doing this (tried 3 different SIMs) or if you have a copy of the O2 Mini S XDA WM5 AKU2 ROM, please get in touch!
Cheers
I opened a support ticket with Vodafone UK about the annoying email sending and HSDPA problems that my HTC TyTN II has demonstrated since I 'upgraded' it to WM 6.1. Here's the response:
---<starts>---
Thanks for your e-mail about your TyTn 11/V1615 and problems since updating your firmware from 6.0 to 6.1.
I've been speaking with our technical experts today for some more info for you. I'm told that they are aware of various issues with the 6.1 windows software for this phone and unfortunately until a newer software version is available you will have these issues with the 6.1 version. It's unlikely they'd spend more money redeveloping the 6.1 software problems as they may already be looking towards developing the next version.
The only option they can give is to delete the newer version and find the old version to download again instead. We understand this isn't ideal but at the moment its' the only solution to these issues.
If there's anything else I can do for you, let me know, I'll be glad to do all that I can to help.
---<ends>---
That's a lot of help - not. They might at least have provided a page with a link to go back to 6.0...
Well you ...
You should trying to get support from Vodafone in The Netherlands , where I am an ex-pat. Got this damn thing last Tuesday (7 working days ago) and because I got my deal through the web shop, the one in my area won't help.
My problem is, when I took to the main shop in Rotterdam to get it changed to English version...great took the techie 5 mins to flash it . Yeah!!!
When I get back home, 1 hours drive but 2 at peak traffic time (which is all the F#####G time here, I fire it up go to GPRS authentification...nothing on screen, silch, nada, nothing
So sorry to piggy back your thread M8, but any help for this on this forum?
