Ok, now having mastered uploading of Roms to my XDA, I am wondring which one is the best.
I am currently Using the T-Mobile rom. but so far it has formatted my SD card 3 times.
Good things I like. about this one, The T-Mobile Battery display. The quick links in the bottom right hand bar and the sounds not starting low and gradually getting higher in volume.
I like the ATT Rom
Mainly that I have found this one to be the quickest rom, not as much needing to soft-reset and it seems to be able to do everything I want.... The only downside is the volume where it constantly keeeps changing it when a sound starts. (Annoying as I use my XDA as my alarm clock)
so far I LOVE the ATT rom (as you have probebly figured) but what about everyone else. What have you found to be ther best.
Oh and By the way my original was a
02XDA
Bootloader 5.17
Rom Version 3.14.17 ENG
Rom Date 10/11/02
Radio version 4.17
Protocol Version 32s54
I have never encountered any SD erasing with 4.01.00 ... so it's the best for me
i also used 4.01 and never had a sd erasure
I've also become very frustrated with T-Mobile's "official" ROM since it has formatted or corrupted my SD Card 5 times with all of the (what seems to be superstitious) measures taken. Are there any issues with the 4.01.00 ROM?
By the way, is T-Mobile aware of the problems with their official ROM?

A30.09 officialrom i recommend it
i think A30.09 is cool try and do it with urself
A30.09 is the best rom ive ever used much more faster then the tmobile rom
Thanks for the replies. I have A.30.09 on my device now, and so far it seems much better than TMOs ROM (faster, less clutter, more space in ROM). Has anyone experience any erasures with this, or any of ATTs ROMs?
I have read a lot about an "increasing sound" problem with this ROM, but I haven't noticed anything yet. Can someone explain this problem to me?
Thanks,
Shawn
youll notice it when playing mp3 and when being rang or using tomtoms voice navigation it begins low and gets higher, not a problem and much better tehn the tmobile rom, never experianced a SD erase with it
Where can you get the A30.09 ROM ?
I've been running with the TMO rom for a couple of months now, and I've only experienced one erasure ( of a 32Mb MMC card ). I know that the TMO doesn't come with Polyphonic MIDI ringtone support, too. What I'm most concerned with is the drop in signal quality. The new radio stack ( 6.25.02 ) displays MUCH lower signal quality levels than WM2002 ever did.
If there were an upgrade for the radio stack, I'd go for that. Is there a way to bump up the sensitivity or boost some parameters to get better signal quality out of the PPCPE ??
Marcelo
Marcelo,
Since you are on T-Mobile's network, if you want A.30.09, you will want to upgrade the OS only, and not the radio, so you need to use the SD Card upgrade method (search this forum for instructions) to be safest. You can build a ROM at this kitchen:
http://xda.weblink.net
To downgrade your radio, here are two options:
1.) Install the 6.24.00 radio stack found at Yorch's site:
http://www.yorch.net/downloads/ROMS/TMOradiostackupgradeR624 .zip
2.) Load a PPC2002 ROM on your XDA using the SD Card method, then install a packaged ROM with Radio like T-Mobile's previous upgrade or Special Edition ROM v1.2 (search forum for more info, I think it includes radio upgrade), then upgrade to WM2003 using SD Card method.
There's probably another way to just change the radio, much like the package from Yorch's site, but I don't know how to do it.
Personally, I've had an improvement in connection quality with radio 6.25.02, though I think the reception strength indicator shows less than before the upgrade. Make sure your signal has indeed decreased (and doesn't just look worse) before you downgrade.
Hope this helps.

A.30.09 Ring Tones Problem
So far A.30.09 is working great. I am having a problem with the ring tones, however:
I am unable to play any ringtones other than .WAV files. All .WMA or .MID files will not play. If I select a .WMA file for the ring tone, it plays "Windows Default.wav" when I get a call. I can play the .WMA files in other applications, but if I hit the play button in Phone settings, nothing happens (.WAVs play correctly).
I was using PocketZenPhone, but have disabled it while trying to diagnose the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could start looking for the problem? Registry entries, etc.? Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is very frustrating.
Also, I can't remember if I included polyphonic support when I cooked my ROM. What can I look for that will tell me that this is installed?
Thanks!

SD card erasure with A.30.09
While I was trying to work out the previous problem in this thread, my device locked up and I had to soft reset. Upon reset, I found that my SD card had been erased. This is the first erasure I've had with A.30.09, and the only one I know of with this ROM.
I formatted this card with StorageTools v1.9 with Backup FAT, but now ST says there is no Backup FAT. I had labeled the card with a card reader, as well. Now, all that remains on the card is the following directory structure:
\Storage Card\Temp
_____\Cookies
__________index.dat
_____\History
__________desktop.ini
__________\History.IE5
_______________desktop.ini
_______________index.dat
_____\Net
__________desktop.ini
__________\Content.IE5
_______________desktop.ini
_______________index.dat
_______________\<4 folders for temp internet files>
And all files/folders have the data/time of the erasure. I store all of my internet cache, cookies, and history on my SD card to save RAM. This was done by modifying the registry entries at:
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\
This explains why those files/folders are there, but what I'm not sure of is if this caused the erasure.
With PPC2002, I had no problems storing internet data on my SD card, even when soft booting from a lock-up. I have had many, many erasures or corruptions with WM2003 ROMs. I have outlined the preventative steps I've taken in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=48241#48241
But none of this has helped.
Can anyone shed just a little light on this for me?
Is WM2003 unable to use the SD card for temp files?
Do I have to go as far as locking my SD card?
Is WM2003 still so unstable that PPC2002 is a better solution?

Shawn,
The midi support file is installed in your ppc but there's still 1 cab file missing and should be installed to let the midis works as ringtones and sounds better goto this thread and download the cab file CameraRC132_WWE_1.5.sa.zip then install in in you ppc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6337&highlight=

About the erasure of the Sd, I have the same problem with 4.01.16 and also the other WM2003 ROMS it's a bug. I hope in WM2003 SE wont exist again, you can get rid of the erasure since you're locking your SD after installing or copying whatever..Or install WM2002 this problem won't happen again to you.
Thanks for the tips, ramram.
Here are some remarks on my XDA issues:
1.) Polyphonic Ringtones not working
Problem: Although polyphonic ringtone support is listed on the Makis and Lumpistefan kitchens, all of the necessary files are not included in the cooked ROM.
Solution: The other files are included in a package I posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=49846#49846
These files take up about ~570kB and need to be in the \Windows directory. This is why I couldn't get .MID files to play.
2.) .WMA ringtones not working
Problem: I had a media player (PocketMusic) associated with .wma files. So I assume that when the OS was trying to play the .wma file for a preview or ring, it was trying to do so through PocketMusic (although PocketMusic was never automatically started).
Solution: Removing this file association corrected the problem. I am also assuming the offending registry key was:
\HKCR\.wma
It would be interesting to see if the same thing would happen with .WAV files if they were associated with a program.
3.) SD Card erasures
Problem: I had (wrongly) concluded from my previous tests and research of other people's experiences that this was a flaw introduced by the T-Mobile developers of the WM2003 ROM for the XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=49388&highlight=#49388
Now I understand that this problem goes much higher up, and is a flaw introduced by the Microsoft developers in the 2003 OS.
Solution: As suggested by ramram, I am keeping my SD card locked as much as possible. This means sacrificing RAM for cache and other temp files. Hopefully a.) this will be corrected in WM2003SE, and b.) someone releases a WM2003SE ROM for the XDA.
If nothing else, from this experience I have found that I do like A.30.09 (ATT) more than 4.01.16 (TMO) for these reasons:
1.) More space for extras when cooking ROM
2.) No unnecessary startup items
3.) Have not observed device turning display on when checking email
4.) "Extras" provided by TMO can be installed on SD Card
5.) Increasing sound "problem" can be advantageous if you are in a quiet meeting and the device begins to sound.

After watching for months the issues that many have suffered over this problem, I finally found a solution that will fix all the woes.
A few months ago I was one of the many here that upgraded to 1.11 ROM, had the problem. It drove me crazy to the point that I went back to the 1.06 ROM that was rock solid. Well the other day I did a hard reset to have a clean slate. While looking at the Extended ROM I saw the file DefaultV_1.12 in the EXT Rom (Compared 1.11 ROM on FTP to my device). This was the same file that a XDA developer member had modified to somewhat solve the GPRS problem a few months ago.
At this point I had a hypothesis, so I pulled the same file from the older 1.06 ROM which was rock solid and did not have the “Cannot Connect” problem. In this EXT ROM it is named Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB.
Installed it first on my Blue Angel as a guinea pig, then for the next three hours I would sit there and disconnect and reconnect. I did it manually by holding the red button to disconnect, then I would reconnect to another webpage, then would have a call come in while in the middle of the GPRS session which would suspend it. After done with the phone call I would reconnect manually by clicking connect as well as by just hitting a link on the webpage.
The Results: No “Cannot Connect” problem.
So off I went to my Magician:
Upgraded to 1.11(I have 850 JAM)
Installed Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB
Put the phone through its paces, I have been disconnecting and reconnecting without a single problem. I receive phone calls that suspend the GPRS session and I am able to reconnect without a problem. Activesync is able to make OTA connections without a hitch.
During my trials I used the same programs:
Which included:
Photo Contacts(newest version)
Activesync
WEBIS Mail 2
xVbar
PocketZenPhone
Regking 2003
As the only variable throughout the trials was Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB
This is the solution folks.
At least until someone says it does not work.
Installation Steps:
1. Download CAB that I have attached.
2. Copy over to device
3. Install
4. Soft Reset.
1st of all let me say this is a great site for the HTC devices, I found it years ago when i had the first XDA (Wallaby i think) and now i own a O2 Mini.
I have just installed your patch and i'll let you know how it goes.
I wonder if this patch does the same as the "downgrading" of the caller id as detailed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20428
The downgrade has been succesful for blue angel users too.

Many thanks for posting this information.
For a relative newbie like me who has never manually fiddled with ROM files, can you please explain what I actually have to do to "install" the CAB file, i.e. in which directory on the device do I put it, and how do I run it?
- Peter
Once copied over to the device just place it where you can find it using the file explorer. Once located using the file explore simply click on it and it will install on its own. Do a soft reset and enjoy.
Crisscross: The Photo Contact solution that people have found only alleviates the problem a little, not entirely.
In my trials it has solved my problems completly. I wish for other members who try it out to report back as well to see whether all my trials were just a fluke, or our solution.
don't work for me
don't work for me. same problem as before, can't connect due unknown reason.
thanks anyway.
Orcas what is your ROM?

The downgrade of caller-id to an earlier version has also solved the problem totally for me and several other people, both blue-angel and magician users. Thats why I was curious just what your patch did. Seems that it is something similar, you are maybe downgrading more of the rom?
Did you try downgrading of the caller-id first? Not just photo contacts but downgrade to the specified earlier build of caller-id?

Hi there,
Just thought I'd report that I've just installed it. My ExtROM now reports as 1.06.150 WWE.
And... so far, so good!!! I've connected/disconnected to GPRS multiple times, interrupted GPRS with a phone call and then reconnected, have sent files to my device via BT while GPRS is on, and still no problem. It's looking very good!!!
And I'd swear it connects faster than it did previously.
Anyway, I'll keep hammering at it over the weekend and report back on Monday.
Thanks again randomshots!
Well, I'm back already, because I still have the problem. DARN IT!!!!!! :x
The thing that made it happen was that I made a phone call while GPRS was on. When I ended the call and tried to reconnect to GPRS, I got the blasted error. So it seems that receiving a phone call does not cause the error to happen, but making a call does. At least for me.
Oh well, it was worth a try. Back to the drawing board.
Same problem in Hong Kong
I upgraded to ROM v1.11 a few days ago and since then I have the GPRS connection error after 1 or 2 connections. Soft reset will solve the problem. This problem was not encountered at all before the ROM upgrade. It must be the new ROM that mess things up!
As this "default cab" from an old rom seems to solve the problem and also an older version of caller-id solves it there is probably something wrong in the communication between caller-id and some of the customisations from this cab on newer roms. Btw the problem is also in 1.12 roms.
Nice too see that we have two possible solutions here, I will stick to the downgrade of caller-id as it has solved the problem totally for me but it would be interesting to know what the real cause is...
Hi again. Just to answer the previous question to my post: my rom version is 1.12.00 WWE, radio 1.12.00, extrom now says 1.06.150. i think the only thing this cab changes is this rom number, nothing else
orcas
orcas,
I believe you are absolutely right. When the extended rom has finished installing the programs, it runs this .cab file to 'brand' the Magician with the build number. Nothing more or nothing less. But faith can move mountains, as we all know...
I guess some of you know that there is another (older) thread about GPRS problems. If you do not, there is a link below.
Anyway, I finally tried the most recent suggested fix in that thread (downgrading the device's CallerID program to an earlier version) and like a number of others I can happily report that so far, it has fixed my GPRS cannot connect problem. Looking good.
Here is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20428
- Peter
Just thought I'd share that the second fix I tried (downgrading CallerID) has continued to work for me. I have no more problems with GPRS. All is well with my Magician. At last.
Here is rom with new Radio ROM 1.04
http://extendedsystems.dk/download/qtek/2020i/WWE_Sonofon_11100_165_10400_Ship.exe
Enjoy
Thank for the new radio, but some how I got country erro on the processing upgrade.
Please Help.
is this for the xda 2i please ..only asking as i'm not sure
thanks
This rom is only for Alpine phones, thats the 2i, 2020i etc.
As soon as my broadband is working again (tomorrow hopefully) I'll post the O2 162 rom with the radio 1.04 update for the UK users and anyone else who wants it.
If you want to try this update on the 2i you will need to extract the files from the installer and locate a copy of maupgradeut_noid.exe and use that instead of the included installer. There are better instructions elsewhere on this site, just do a search for my name, I'll be in amongst it all somewhere.
cheers i'll give it a go but if you are doing it maybe i'll wait ,i've only just gone back to your old 1 tonight as i don't use blackberry & it seemed better than o2 update
I have just posted the ROM upgrade on the ftp site, the only change is the radio from 1.03 to 1.04. It seems to give a better signal strength than version 1.03 on my phone anyway.
Here's the link to download the O2 version I just combined
(Edited to working link
ftp://xda:[email protected] XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04.rar
1: Backup your contacts/device to Storage, Storage Card or PC. If you are using Ext Rom 1.11.162 now you can use full device backup to restore at the end to save you re-installing all your programs later.
2: Extract the ROM using Winrar to a folder of your choice.
3: Run MaUpgradeUT_Noid.exe. The install will fail, don't worry, just run it again without touching the phone.
4: When the upgrade has finished, do a hard reset by pressing the power button and reset button at the same time.
5: Install any programs and any data you backed up during step 1.
Good luck.
Excellent stuff
Upgraded and now running 1.04 radio and i can also say it has improved my signal strength too
Big thanks Pug for your work on the ROM image too, very much appreciated.
Hear, Hear. Many thanks to Pug, great work!
many thanks to Pug,
its work perfectly.....no more lag of ringtones or lag after green button pushed!! thanks Pug.....
i want to know about backup, after upgrade ROM, i cant restore back by backup. When using Backup Sprite, i will go back to old ROM after restore complete. any ideas????
@ Clustered
When you say it goes back to the old rom do you mean that the Radio rom is regerted back to 1.03 or that your extended rom goes back to 192 or whichever you are using?
Sprite backup should not revert the radio rom back to 1.03 as it should only do the file system of your device.
As far as the extended ROM version, all it is there for is to indicate the "update" status of the extended ROM and what software is installed in it. An asian rom may have a higher rom version but may be no newer or better than the european 162 rom. You're talking about comparing hedgehogs to wibbles, completely arbitary. As soon as you cook the extended ROM like I have it is completely meaningless anyway as the version number is no longer valid.
If you wish to change the version number yourself, use a registry editor and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3RDVERSION and change the MSYSTEM value to whatever you like.
If I have the wrong end of the stick, I apologise otherwise I hope this helps.
huh!? are u mad at me ??? anyway, i just wanna tell that you're the great! thanks very much....
I'm not mad at you, just woke up from a night shift....bloody binmen.
Was just trying to figure out which rom was reverting and so on. Hope it was of use to you anyway.
Once again, sorry.
HELP!
I Can't Upgrade the ROM.
step 1 is OK (radio)
Step 2 is OK (EXT):
Step 3 to 8 % PC show : Error 112: CE ROM UPDATE ERROR
WHY???
i run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe second Time , but frist Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe Need to STOP(use TASK Manager)??
PLEASE HELP ME
thanks for the update ..it's upgrading at the moment
thanks for the update, the only problem i'm having is that even though i've got the in call volume as low as it will go it is still too loud to be comfortable which is a big change from the previous rom. Also when using in the car on handsfree the other person can hear his voice echoing as they speak. Any ideas????
Successfully upgraded my XDAIIi.....
I'm now with the latest ROM from O2 UK (1.11.169 WWE) and the Radio version 1.04.00
Hi, I'm from Malaysia and will this rom be able to use on my device?
I'm using XDA IIi and device id is PH10C.
I'm affraid there will be a problem for my local operator "Maxis".
@ ramnkc
To be honest I can't see a problem with this ROM working with your current operator. I'm pretty sure that others from your neck of the woods are using the ROM with no problems. The biggest problem you would have is that it wouldn't load all your GPRS, WAP, MMS, etc settings as it is a UK rom.
Make sure you can get hold of these settings off your current provider before you perform the upgrade. Or as an alternative, extract your current ROM and reload it back onto your phone using SD card.
thanks for the reply !
Well i guess i gonna wait for the official release coz so far i'm happy with it. Apart of the constant SD Card data missing after playback mid, mp3 or what ever music files from SD Card.
And i finally found out that it cause by SBP pocketplus which had an option to close all application once you tab on X. Once i turn that option off in pocket plus so far problem free.
Guys/gals out there have this problem ?
ykyloveu - Does this mean you have BB Connect as well? The only modified rom from here I can download is based on cer .112 The new rom for o2 with BBConnect is ver .169
I want to upgrade my 02 rom to the imate rom
which imate rom supports the aku2 patch, as o2 dont know when there going to release this support.
this is also my question, is it possible to use Imate Jasjar ROM for O2 Exec, and where i can get it , then i can use O2 software on new ROM ? Thank you.
YES!
I upgraded my O2 Exec to the new i-mate ROM and man.. it's like owning a completely different machine.
plenty of memory left ( i guess memory leaks were mostly fixed)
dazzling speed.
machine doesn't get stuck several times a day.
I am happy.
You have the official ROM. Search through it, I don't know in which thread I saw it, but the filename is: JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.zip
You should be able find it here using the search button.
Then you need to use a tool called maupgradeut_noid_645.exe
Also available here. It will allow to install the JASJAR ROM on O2 Exec. But I think your warrenty will voice.. unless you revert back to the O2 ROM which is downloadable from my-xda.com
MOBILER
Sorry again, i have this question, my XDA Exec is unlocked by deffault, after updated with the Imate ROM, is my Exec still unlocked ? Thank you.
yes your exec will still be unlocked. I have an exec with a Orange simcard and the latest imate rom. No problems.
hi,i have a xda exec from 02,i want to upgrade to a imate rom.where i can download this rom?,how can i read a manual to upgrade this rom?
thanks

go to ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/
Get the file JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.zip. About 64Mb. Unzip the file twice & you will get the readme.doc file for the instruction.
Any idea where i can find maupgradeut_noid_645.exe? Tried search and tried the ftp, no luck.

I think I used this version when I upgraded O2 XDA Exec to JASJAR rom. Didn't run into any problems
Thanks for your replies and PMs, i-Mate rom is now installed
Also got fed up with waiting for O2 update and tonight loaded the imate rom and push email is working nicely . I will try and post some instructions tomorrow if I get chance.
what should be the final specs
mine are ROM 1.13.82 WWE
rom date 11/30/05
radio 1.09.00
protocol 42.42.P8
Ext ROM 1.13.188 WWE
ihave downloaded imate JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship should I update with this my O2 EXEC
Please advise
Here is the process as promised. There isnt too much too it so hopefully you will be able to understand my ramblings.
You need the Imate JASJAR rom file which I downloaded from
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Shipped_Complete_Updates/
The file that you need is JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.zip.
First thing to do is to extract the files in the exe. There are two ways you could do this.
You can do this by running the exe file this will extract the files into a temporary directory in your profile.. for example c:\documents and settings\username\Local Settings\Temp, look for a very recently created directory in there, don’t ok the error message that you get when you run the exe as it will delete the temporary files. Just copy the files out of the temp directory somewhere else.
OR
You can use winrar to extract the files from the exe. Extract all the files into a single flat directory. Remove all directory structures so that you are left with just one directory containing all the files. (didnt try this way but I presume it will work)
Then download this file
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip
Extract the .exe in there to the same directory containing all your other files.
Then you need to make a small change to one of the text files. Look in the directory for
RUU.conf
Open it in notepad and add this line
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
then save it
That’s about it…..
Usual wavers at this point.. upgrading flash may lead to dead device.. do so at your own risk… invalidate warranty…etc etc
Once you have plucked up the courage connect your device up to Active sync and run the exe file that was contained in the MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip file that you downloaded.
It seemed to take around 30 mins for the whole update process.
Im just going through adding my applications again and setting up the Vodafone GPRS configuration but so far seems fine and push email works nice and fast so I am pleased I have made the change.
Hi jwarbutron,
Thanks for the walkthrough, Im following your instructions and have now started the upgrade.
I got past the screen where it tells me my current version numbers and what the new versions will be. I said OK, go for it, and now its displaying the 'Checking the information on your device .. please wait ..' screen, I presume I just wait for 30 mins or so and the upgrade is complete? There isn't a progress bar or another screen Im supposed to see?
Cheers
Nas
hanks jwarbutron,
Your procedure works like a charm Thanks once again . Pl let me know how to get original #D phone pad interface
Unfortunately it didn't work for me, I left my phone plugged in for about 4 hours, it still just displayed the checking page, and now my phone wont start. Switching it on, I see some text in portrait mode saying usb at the top, and v1.00 at the bottom.
I'll dig around this forum to see if I can find a solution.
Nas
Third attempt looks to be good though! Got the progress bar, upgrading now... :lol:
Nas
Just updated last night, and good grief the imate ROM is so much better.
Its much smoother, quicker and generally a much more pleasant experience.
Very much recommended to anyone who who has the Exec.
Cheers
Rich
Well, my upgrade completed, but I still get the portrait page with USB at the top and v1.00 at the bottom. The upgrade said it had completed successfully, is there a step I have missed?

Hi all,
Im new to this Universal forum since i recently got my MDA PRO ( Universal or JASJAR) from ERA mobiles-Poland. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone of you masters could answer them for me.
1. Firstly why do all the programs work so slowly??? I assumed that adding some new softwares slowed the system down but did a hard reset and found that there was hardly any improvement. i previously owned a Himalaya and it was much faster with the same software as in the MDA PRO. How can i change this and make more memory for running applications??
2. Is there an option where i could answer a call via the speakers by just lifting the screen of the phone?? i often answer a call with the hood closed and have to open the hood and press the "Speaker On" function before i can use the function. Im not sure if anyone has had this thought and a solution has been found.
3. I managed to download the new ROM from this forum and tried to update it on my machine but got an error " Invalid device" - Kindly contact your operator for the right update. my question is how can I update to a new ROM when running the maching with an excisting one? my device is from an operator in Poland but i would like to upgrade to a new ROM.
4. Lastly is it true that updating the device to a new ROM will increase memory and effeciency of the device or is a ROM update only developed for certain regional functions and software setting??
5. My last question is on my device desktop i can see 8 unread emails. when i select this the machine totally hangs and i have to do a soft reset. is there some way i can change this and reset the problem. Also can anyone tell me how to uninstall a email account once it is created?
my device information is :
ROM Version : 1.20.37 WWE
ROM Date : 12/04/05
Radio Version : ------ ( No information)
Protocol Version : ------ ( No Information)
ExtROM Version : 1.20.129 WWE
Hope to hear a reply soon as i am dying to make a few changes.

1. to fix most of your problems, upgrade your ROM.
2. Might be better to get a bluetooth headset. Preferably stereo one if you listen to music.
3. If it doesn't belong to the maker of your device (like you bought a QTEK and wanna flash an IMATE ROM) go to the wiki.xda-developers.com It is all explained there.
4. Increased efficiency. Maybe better memory handling but not necessarily more memory.
5. Upgrade the ROM and it will erase everything, even the 8 emails. Just make sure they are not there when you synchronize. Maybe the rom update will help.
P.S. Your ROM is almost 1 YEAR OLD!!!!! Pls. upgrade.
I keep on getting a country error when trying to do it, even though I've used the unlocking program on the XDA. What do I do?
