any user of dopod 900 here,if u are planning buy one,i can tell u the answer is not to buy it that soon,because i have one on hands,it always hang up!even when someone calls u,it hang
much better to wait .............. :roll:

Pls try to turn off the anti-virus software.

No problem for me. Mine is the Hong Kong version.
So far so good - though sometimes I encountered problems on reconnection to GPRS after phonecalls.

Maybe you unlike get the bad one, you can see this forum someone got I-mate or O2 had problem , someone work very well, I think you can call Dopod/HK to repair or replace, Dopod and HTC are same company , and their ppc and ROM more stable than O2 or I-mate, I don't had any problem with my Dopod 900, I got O2 Exec bcz I like color but I still flush Dopod ROM .

how can i turn off that anti virus???????????/where is it?????i try to found it but really don't know where,please forgive me to ask that stupid question!

go to Start/setting/system/remove programs and uninstall anti virus,I had Taiwan version don't had this program in my Dopod 900,anyone had HongKong version can help him to uninstall ?

I have got the Hong Kong version. It does not come with any anti-virus program.

I had Dopod 900 from Taiwan and O2 Exec from UK both don't had anti-virus program , as I know only I-mate had anti-virus program,Markmak888 how you tell the guy close anti-virus program ?

what is you "c" ? , O2,Dopod,I-mate,T-mobile,Qtek all same machine made by HTC , so you tell me what's difference ? good machine or bad machine , bad one just ask for replace.

i call dopod in HK,they said maybe it's my pda 's problem,so they ask me to wait for this week and give me a new one to try is it better,because i know some of the poeple using the dopod900 is ok and not always hang!
they ask me to hardrest it but it's just the same,so that's the reason y they ask me to change it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll: :roll: :roll:

SPV M5000 newbie - advice please

Hi everyone, I've just purchased an SPV M5000 off ebay and it should be with me on Wednesday. I've been reading up on this for a few hours but still have some questions which I'd appreciate some help with if you can.
I understand the Orange SPVM5000 is sim locked, is this true and how easy is it to unlock. I will be using this with an iBook and The Missing Sync software. I can use virtual PC if need be to flash the rom, but would I be better off going to a shop / market stall and paying a tenner?
My first question is: is the Orange branding as slow as the O2 Active branding? I'd hate it to be as slow as some reviews are saying.
I have read a lot about the corporate install option on the O2 XDA Exec, I presume this is available on the SPV M5000 as well - can someone please confirm? I have read that you need to enter the O2 connection settings on the Exec when you enter corporate mode, do you have to do this on the M5000 as well? If so can someone please post the settings?
If I flash the rom or debrand the phone, will I need to contact Orange to get GPRS & MMS re-enabled? They told me that they won't help me directly as I did not register the phone.
I am really looking forward to getting this but want to get it running at a good speed, so any assistance would be gratefull received.

First I would like to say you made a great choice going with Windows Mobile. After my first device I considered myself a spokesperson for WM.
I also had an Orange SPV M5000 in the past and if you call them up they will give you the unlock code. The free way would be to get Buzz_Lightyears sim unlock tool available from his website buzzdev.net
If you feel confident enough you can do everything to the phone yourself, but as it is a very expensive unit you have think twice about doing any flashing to the phone.
My o2 active UI was very slow, and only got slower as more programs were open. The orange one responds a bit faster, but I dont know many people who keep the original stuff on there anyway. There are so many programs out there that can do alot more.
I do not believe there is a corporate mode install on the Orange version but you dont need any connection settings anyway.
Once you get the phone you will have to configure the network settings for MMS and GPRS yourself. I notice that u have are with fido as I am, but am pretty sure the settings will be different since you are in the states.
You can try these setting for GPRS and see if they work:
APN: wap.fido.ca (or mayb .com)
USER: fido
PASS: fido
Your last question about speed is that there are so many programs out there that enable you to do what you want but you have to keep in mind that each open program slows the phone down so you have to make a compromise somewhere.
Hope this helps

Thank you very much for your help. I set my profile up wrong initially when I registered on here, I am actually in the UK and will probably use an Orange SIM for the phone, so I don't really need to unlock it I guess.
I would like to change the software though, could you tell me what settings I will need to enter and where (I will find the actual values for Orange UK)?
Many thanks
James

Hey,
if you do a little research on this forum and its wiki it's not hard to find the methods to reflash your Universal with another provider ROM. If this is what you mean by debrand

Good luck!

Yes it is possible to have ROM of ur choice to ne same model , and it is not at all a complicated process its just a same procedure as u upgrade ur device with ur official ROM with some added 2-3 steps and thats it .

Would like to try out Cingular's HSDPA(3G) on my phone, is Cingular ROM required?

Hey everyone. I've been out of contract with T-Mobile for a while now, and I'm considering moving to Cingular very soon. I have a softbank X01HT that's unlocked with WM6 ROM, my question is, do I need to flash the phone with a Cingular ROM for the HSDPA to work? What i plan to do is pass by a cingular shop and ask if I could try out their service on my phone while I'm there by using their SIM card. Would the HSDPA (3G) settings be imported from the SIM or would they already have to be on the phone? My main reason for wanting HSDPA is mainly for skype use, I have family in Philippines who I would love to stay in contact with. Any help on this is greatly appreciated, thanks.

No - you do not need a Cingular ROM. You may need to activate HSDPA on the ROM (use a Tweaker like HTweakC - which Google or forum search will help you find.) Good luck and enjoy.

I appreciate the very quick reply...currently searching for the said programs above, thanks again.
EDIT* HTweakC was already on the Black ROM i had installed, well that was easy Thanks.

Orange 3G GPRS INTERNET setting

Hi everyone.
I recently upgraded to WM6 on my SPV M700 (HTC P3600).
I have lost the Orange today menu which is good news! However i seem to have also lost my interent GPRS settings. Think i have to set up a new connection?
I could phone Orange for them but i just know they will not have a clue about there own product and i will be wasting my time.
Many thanks
George

I'm now trying out t-mobile and need to change the GPRS settings as they are stuck on orange.
I have phoned t-mobile but because my htc p3600 isn't on the list they won't send the settings.
I have also searched the forum before posting. Cheers chaps
