Hi all
Since yesterday I own an MDA Pro, bought by my friend in Germany (Thanks!!)
Please be aware: This device is in german AND it has a SIM-LOCK!!
For the rest the device really rocks... some few things are not perfect but the device itself is
Sven
Hi Dumdidum,
Congratulations on your new acquisition. I am sure you are enjoying every bit of it, and you should
Firstly, could you explain a little more about the things that you found to be a problem on the device? What did you think was not perfect?
Secondly, could you tell us something about the Bluetooth Stack of the device? Is there a Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP)? Can you voice dial using a BT headset? There is a small button the MDA Pro called "voice control". Is it only for voice recroding or are there any other voice related functions you can use it for?
Thirdly, how comfortable is it to use as a regular phone in comparison to the T-Mobile MDA III. Is there a gross difference or a minimal difference?
Lastly, When can we expect to see a "first impression" mini-review from you. Also, if you could post some pictures of your device including the packaging, we would be very grateful.
Best Regards,
Docc.
Also interesting would be:
is there USB-Host Support
does the WLAN Support WPA (AES)
Video Resolution
Hi Dumdidum,
I'm very interesting to know the video resolution that Universal can take. And can it use like a normal USB drive through its USB port? And, is the text are too small to read on Internet Explorer with 640x480 resolution?
To: Dumdidum
Fm: Mark
Congratulations to you getting the MDA Pro. I want to get the Universal even I slept to make a dream. Can you post the photo and comments in this forum?
Thanks!

did you try it ?
2 questions:
Can you listen music or use voice dialing with bluetooth headset?
Can you dump the ROM with this tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22861 or this test program - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22861&start=75#149665 and share it with us?

Hi mamaich,
I tried both tools on my MDA Pro.
grab_it : Claims that it cannot create the file.
Testdump : starts, but after a while locks up the device. Process bar is about the half...it created a dump file with about 57,8 MB...
Cheers

I think that is because your device is in german and maybe storage card is named something else (in german)?

Yep..should have found out that by myself
Anyway..good news for those who bought their device from T-Mobile in germany: T-Mobile will give out the unlock code for free to all people who bought it without a contract (749€). I just phoned the simlock-hotline and the woman said that she will send me my unlock code via email soon (next 2-3 days).
Can't wait..still debugging...
hope this helps somehow

RegWizard v.L
If you don't have safe mode reboot on your phone you're hurting...
saves from thousands of soft resets...
There is also a seperate app called 'SafeMode Reboot'
"Thousands of soft resets???" What apps and unit are you using?? I have had to soft reset mine just 3 times since I got it,and that was only due to third party apps!
If you are having to soft reset it that much, get rid of whichever apps are causing your problems!
Later........

Thanks thout
six meters for me on the same air line of irda led of my TV i can't try more
Not getting anywhere near to six meters. Not even getting a metre. Useless really.
Edit : You have to be dead in line with the IR on the TV and yes you can get a reaction from further away. Still very poor though. Would be quicker to get the tv button than piss about with this.
as the most of PDA, wizard doesn't have a CIR chipset for IrDA and the type of led is different shape so u must have a good air line with consumer device to work... but if you have seem work enogh well at least on mine... i tried it on two TV and works good :wink:
It does work on the MDA; got an email from Novii over the weekend with the new version; however as noticed above, range is good if you are precisely aligned with the receiver ...
I am thinking about getting a tripod for my MDA so I can line it up with my TV or maybe attach a laser sight to the MDA ;-) (just kidding)
Really, i find it almost impossible to line it up from across the room. Otherwise, it works great
I find hitting the button and then blowing hard towards my tv helps the beam get there. :wink:

lol :lol:
works nicely for me...
tv respsonds better if you hold the button down on the screen..
it worked for me, and the TV in the bedroom....however i got about 1.5m range from it...so I may as well change chanels by hand...
nice app though.
I am getting a good 5+ meters no problems. I might have to by this, just a real shame you cant use custom graphics.
it won't let me open the program as I have already exceeded my 10 day trial ??
I did install a prev version but obviously that didn't work with the wizard
how do i reset my device so I can test this one for 10 days and check out what range I'll get
yea you have to be dead in line in order for it to work...but when it does work its PERFECT ...almost a replacement but...like i said the IR needs to be dead in line

thanks for the replies
Changing the date didn't work and I'm definately not doing a hard reset just to see what this is like
I've emailed Novii, so I guess I will see what their service is like

I've tried 'Webcamera Plus' from Ateksoft to try out the security cam functionality and it seems to work quite well, not sure how good it is with MSN e.t.c, but there is a demo available.

There are a few threads here on it too.

thanks for the reply digital.diablo, but correct me if i am wrong, it appears that the webcam plus software transforms the camera function on ur phone (such as the htc x7500) into a webcam that can use for your PC, and not a webcam that can be used of the phone it self to have a live video conference.
is that right? if so, any other ideas?
thanx
Ahh, sorry, misunderstood what you were after. Yeah, Webcamplus is simply a way of using the onboard camera in your gadget as a webcam, so you could use it to video conference from your pc.
Not sure about your conferencing from the PDA though I'm afraid. Good luck on your quest!

thank you bilalperwaiz.
i'll think about it. i doubt my friends would be interested to install a new software just so i can use my video viewers. maybe there is a messenger service that connects to all messenger services and has the software support to video calls.
if anyone knows of such a software do share the info

Also most of GRemote's apps didn't work for me, some of 'em did but very slow.

Sure, the next version will support classic!
iTunes is currently the most supported.
I'm going to have to write a plugin for WMP to get the "Now Playing?" function to work with WMP.
Changelog v0.2
Server:
*textbox is readonly and autoscroll
Server & Client:
*Windows Media Player Classic is now supported!
*iTunes is now supported and it can show you the currently playing song (iTunes only)!

In order to have dRemote working with Windows Media Player Classic:
