OK got a Himalaya and an Alpine (XDA branded) and my Himalaya is very happy now running WM2005 1.60a and the Alpine is running the O2 1.10 ROM.
I had forgotten how unstable WM2003se was compared to WM2005!
The phonepad keeps breaking, have to reinstall from cab files regularly, had to do this on the Himalaya too so it's not the particular ROM or anything I don't think.
Crashes, and lockups, corruption on the today screen that either require a soft reset or messing about changing today themes.
My problem is this, on the Himalaya running 2005, I have many apps installed to my SD card, which is fine, but when I need to use WiFi I need to unplug that to use the SDIO WLAN card, so I am unable to then use many of the programs installed.
Damn shame to let this Alpine gather dust, considering it has 128mb ram and rom, and could run 2005 so much better.
Are there any any newer English ROMs for the Alpine, or should I sit and wait with it boxed up until someone releases something else for it?
I was very annoyed at people working on 2005 for xda2 at the time as I believed that we would get grief from MS about it. It seems that, on the whole, that hasn't happened.
I got a 2i thinking that it would be the next upgrade, therefore when an even newer one comes along - ie Universal - I would be better placed to flog the 2i to pay for it. I'm almost starting to regret that decision as I would dearly love the have 2005 on my 2i...and if I had kept the xda2 I would have been enjoying 2005y goodness by now. Grrr!!
Bring on Universal that's what I say!!

Yes there's other released roms for your ALPINE especially from IMATE and Qtek... So get the Pda2 WWE ROM from IMATE and try to use it on you XDA2i..
Good Luck my friend..

where can us xda 2i owners find th imate rom!?
Yeah, I thought you had to enter your IMEI to access images on the i-mate site.
Have you got a direct link please?
Here!
Many thanks, getting it now
Alan,
I read your thread and have similar dislikes about me Alpine. I have an O2 XDAIIi.
How did your upgrade go?
I downloaded the ROM upgrade but haven't installed it. I am really green at this and not sure how/if I should back up the ROM I have in case I need to restore. Did you do that? Can you guide me on how?
If the ROM upgrade was successful, were you able to install 2005? Again, can you point me in the direction of that download, and instructions.
Greatly appreciated,
Kyle
Try this page, it's about the most up to date ROM for the 2i at the moment. I've had no problems with it at all.
Urm.. you didn't actually post a link?
I am using the i-mate one at the moment, too many people seem to be having problems with the O2 1.11 ROM
True
Sorry, blonde moment there.

I reckon the problem with the new O2 ROM is the radio stack is still the original one. The radio stack on the ROM in the above link is the much better I-mate one with the updates of the O2 ROM.
Has anyone managed to get skype to work on Jasjar? If so, how did you do it. I have tried to get it to run on three diffrerent units (all imate Jasjar) and it either does not open or if it opens it does not work.
Thanks, apap
You may have better luck posting this in the Universal form as that is what the JasJar device is based on.

hi
skype works on jasjar easily.. im using it with my wifi connection... no problems here
did you do anything special to get it to work? thnx, apap
I have an MDA Vario with Imate Rom and an adapt bluetooth GPS. After about an hour of navigating tomtom crashes the entire device. All hard-buttons fail - nothing happens. I cant turn it off either, only a soft reset works.
In Dutch forums other users, though not all, have similar experiences. Anyone here experience crashes? I have no resident software except Magic Button.
noone else experiencing crashes here?
maybe taking the sd card out will un-freeze it?

When the MDA Vario crashes is the MDA very hot ?

I have the same on Qtek 9100:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36960&highlight=
For now I only suspect the sd card. Do you have sandisk 1GB?
If you remove sd card while TomTom running you will have the same result.
when i click on tomtom navigator 5.21 on qtek 9100, it'll hangs forever until resetting. What now? I've sandisk 1GB too...
I suspect it is the ROM (Imate K-Jam now). I heard many positive experience with English T-Mobile ROM so Maybe I'll try that.
Crash after use of Tom Tom Navogator 5
Same experience. Crashed after use, disconnecting the supply and GPS module cable. Anyone who had the device working again ? And may we know how you did it
I have serious problems with my TyTn freezing all the time. Especially in TomTom it freezes every 2 or 3 screenclicks. Going back to the today screen (and then back to TomTom) solves the problem, but then a few clicks later the same problem.
Also in other applications the same problem, but not as often as in TomTom.
I hard resetted my device, but no solution.
Anyone the same problems (or perhaps a solution)???
I've noticed exactly the same in TomTom !
M.
same here

It sounds like a low memory or storage card problem. I have had the occasional freeze in TomTom, but this is quickly solved by pressing the Windows button twice to open and close the start menu.
I have noticed that memory seems to always be pretty low on my Hermes, regardless of what I'm doing.
As for a possible storage card problem, sometimes when accessing the storage card for the first time since a soft reset, you'll see a noticeable delay as it reads icon images from executable files. This mostly seems to be a problem with older software though.
i got the same trouble but i found i got more freezing on TT6 than the older version.
let me know if you have same guys, maybe because the map size is very big (around 1go)
bye
offhand I'd say there's a problem with TomTom...
tomtom 6 freezing+web page disappears
i have the same problem,tend to delay rushing next tap of stylus,seems to solve it, it seems it cant handle quick tapping in tomtom 6.looks like a memory problem on mda vario II.olso noticed when browsing my web pages .It defaults back to today screen,for no apparent reason.
the mda vario II is a great machine,just a few bugs,to solve.
had a mda pro before but this is a far better machine
Yup I have this problem on 5.21 and not tapping too quickly solves it.
Interestingly I needed an activation code from TOMTOM (I have legit TomTom software but due to a change of PDA hardware I have used the 2 device activations TOMTOM seem to give you).
And this is what they told me ".....Your PocketPC type is not compatible with our TomTom NAVIGATOR 5. We cannot, unfortunately, guarantee that your PDA type will work free of problems in combination with our latest software. Therefore we will not be providing you with an activation code simply because your model of PDA the ORANGE SPV 3100, is NOT at the moment COMPATABILE with our NAVIGATOR 5 product."
Thanks TOMTOM :x
anybody found the solution? i have the same problem.

A new version of TTN has been released, v6.100 (7979)
This has solved the problem I had on my Hermes with it locking up on the menu screens and I have seen a significant speed increase.

Found this under news.
I have searched before ask, i don't find anything ((( with a little map works perfectly, but this isn't a solution ((
Can you help me to find the solution?
Thanks.
I have the same problem with Cingular 8525, i flash to Dopod Rom and now works fine, i don't know if this is why, but you guys can try!
I asked the same question. I have tomtom NAVIGATOR 6 and have the same problem. I got these answers and am debating whether to flash to unlock and upgrade the AKU to 3.3. It's a big step into bandit country for me:

I have had long debates with tomtom over its 'support'. The people I dealt with did not make me feel like a valued customer.
Hi
I am getting a choppy sound when video/music is played on my XDA IIs after upgrading from WM5 to WM6.
I still have the 'cabs2.rar' to update once I've downloaded it.
Any ideas ?
Apart from that I still have to test everything else like BT out, but first impression is that it is faster and more slick than WM5.
Dave
Probably you need to run SoundsFix.cab.
