Last week, T-Mobile offered me, to make a (so called) upgrade, which means to extend the contract for further 24 month and to get a new device/mobile phone (for low cost). Starting from October T-Mobile offers the old 64MB-MDA with Windows Mobile 2003 in German. The new MDAII will be available at the end of 2003, they said. So I hope the new software (WM2003_DE) will soon be available on T-Mobile's Website (http://t-mobile.de/mda).

Its realy sad that t-mobile is not activly promoting the xda/mda here in usa. infact... most store workers know very little about it here.
i noticed o2.uk even advertise it on tv!
here... even the 24 hours support staff dont know much, they just replace with new unit everytime a software problem arouse.
believe it or not, this is my FIFTH ppc replacement!!
altho i HAVE figured out how to fix the dead media player problem,
they have not! but i still send it back every few months... for a 'scratchless' unit
if they are too dumb to know their product, i dont think there is anythin wrong with using their warranty to my advantage.
anyway... thanx for the reply

Sending it back?
How do you send it back? You call tech support? Give us a play by play, mine has some scratches on it too....

here is what happened.
first for real, but then i abused their ignorance!
my media player stoped working. when i launch it. it closes immediatly!
i called their tech support... they had me reset and try stuff, but nothin worked. so, naturaly, they'll say, we'll send a replacement.
but their replacement developed the same problem, and they
couldnt fix it. not over the phone anyway...
well after 3 replacements... i found out that it was fonix voice dial, and/or viavoice doin it, they were assigning functions to 4 keys, when xda only have 2 usable (calendar and contacts)
so.. media gets lost and closes.
you have to a registry editor to remove the 2 extra key assignment and that will fix it..
BUT! to get to the point... call and tell them u have this problem
and they wont be able to fix it. they'll just replace it!
make sure u reinstall the old 2002 that came with it.
not that they dont know that u changed it! every time u hard reset the device, it sends an SMS "[email protected],version #, date/time"

Does it really do that? Heck just take the SIM out when you do a hard reset.

HAHAHA
Really if they know that then they must have TONS of HTC Resetd from me.
interesting.
I updated my unit to a ROM kitchen version and frankly..
I helped somethings but I still have problems.
Im really waiting on the XDA II.
I hope we see it soon in the US.
Im on my 5th unit also..
But Im actually having problems.
I thought it was T-mobile or something but I got a T610 and I have two sims.
When I have problems calling out (voice or data) I immediately try with my T610. (guess what... no problems)
Im not sure why Im having such bad luck with the units..
maybe its the power supply..
they said they would send another..
I havent seen it yet..
hmm
gotta run ..
I need to call them
BeDammit!

o2 XDA IIi Firmware Update Due May...

Just received an email direct from o2 saying that a update is due in May that will include Blackberry support.
They also confirmed that there is a known problem with the GPRS connections being lost when connecting peripherals to the connector, however they could not confirm if this will be fixed in the May update.

Care to name your source? The O2 guys I've been speaking to are insisting they have no timescale for a new rom release.
JD

I have also been told this by a company called welcom, they came in to fit car kits for all our sales reps for the XDA IIi (Andes). There was a problem with the microphone on the device and the micophone on the car kit both being on and causing a nasty echo. The man in the van told me it was a software issue and that there was a rom update due next month that will fix it.

For obvious reason I cannot give the name of the person but,
I work for a large corporate who deals with o2 for both voice and Blackberry functionallity, I had been told in January that there would be a Blackberry connect client for the XDA IIi. I therefore asked for an upadate regarding the Blackberry client and also if the bugs would be fixed and that is how I've found out about the May release.
I suspect that o2 corporate support have access & know far more than the standard customer support teams, and for this reason feel confident that there will be an update.

Well for OBVIOUS reasons you cant name your source....reason being they obviously arnt as reliable as you think because here we are and NO new ROM and NO Blackberry support.
Give your source my regards

erm, there's an image for it here on our very own FTP server!
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Alpine/Extended Roms/WWE-Roms/WWE 1.11.112/
(but i don't know how to install it! Can anyone help? Or at least point me in the right direction! )

I am also looking for a solution to this problem too...

Stevebristol, I don't know why people try to help when they receive posts like yours.....
But if it helps I've received a further update regarding the update, as you have nicely pointed out, its late...., and I have been told that it could be at least another six weeks, possibly longer.
No details as to what the update may include, but maybe the delay is due to a new OS update instead of a few bug fixes.
It would be nice if o2 included the new OS, Skype & Blackberry support, before I'm slated again, this has not been promised by o2, just my guess

I do think what was said regarding your source is a little harsh...not wishing to cast criticism myself but being involved in a MAJOR IT project for the Government means you're frequently exposed to delays in rollouts and Go-Lives...
I'm guilty of moaning regarding the release of o2 updates etc, but I have always known the reasons behind them based on my own experiences. Unforeseen errors during testing, new bugs found that crop up as a result of implementing fixes for others, etc, etc, the list goes on and on.
Cheers
Ant

Does anyone have any idea when the update will be available for the XDAIIi?
I keep checking the O2 website... and there is no mention of it. Could it be an urban myth?! :wink:
I've had my XDAIIi for three months now and I'm getting a little tired of the poor signal strength, freezing phone, unstable messaging software, poor camera picture quality, etc, etc. The XDAIIi does everything I want it to... but doesn't manage to do any of it well. I was really hoping that this update would solve at least some of my woes.
I'm even contemplating turning it into a paperweight, and reverting back to my trusty iPAQ, SD card camera and Nokia 6310i. :roll:

So I guess you are telling that it would simply be better iff Nokia buys HTC?

Hi guys
I actually work for O2 - I am a Device Specialist
I CAN confirm that there WILL be a ROM update released soon.
However there is no confirmed date for this. We cannot get any more infomation on when it will actually be released.
My advice is to just keep checking http://www.my-xda.com and if I find out anything more I will post on here

Hi Paul,
will this include Blackberry email support.
I used this on my XDA2 and went without it when I upgraded to a 2i on the promise it would be coming 'soon' that was back in March.

Thanks Paul.
I won't abandon hope just yet, then. :wink:
Maybe you could try and find out what fixes the ROM update will include?

Probably the same as the i-mate ROM with O2 customisations lol.
Doubt it will be anything great.

I can comfirm that the update will include blackberry support - I think the manufacturers realised they kinda made a mistake not allowing blackberry in the updated handset!
As to other updates, were just as in the dark as you guys - you would be suprised how little we are actually involved with the manufacturer.
All I can say it watch this space

reboot and free youself!
Why not just do a hard reset and install as 'corporate'
(you'll need code 0506)
buy 'sbp pocket plus' and relax.....zzzz
Device is a lot more stable and no more annoying o2 menus
enjoy!

So how would you programatically default the install to Corporate and add in the GPRS settings at the same time?

Why not just install the i-mate ROM and never worry about O2 crap again

Roger's disabled video calling in TyTN? Fix?

Just was curious if anyone had a solution to how I can enable the video calling feature in my Tytn.. Rogers wireless disabled it for some reason. I dont want to upgrade to WM6.. just to enable video calling in WM5..
DO i need to copy a cab file from another EXT_ROM?
Can i just copy the cab file over and that is all???
Help please!

Does Rogers even support video calling? This may be why they have disabled it in your Hermes!?

Yes they do.. since 2 months ago.. I have a Samsung A706 with video calling enabled ( been using it for 2 months )... I think one of the tech guys told me that the TyTN wasnt certified yet for the network... However I know people using unlocked TyTNs on Roger's and their video calling works fine!..
The rep pretty much said that they disabled it so they wouldnt get a million tech support calls asking why sometimes they can video call and sometimes they cant..

Flash a different ROM to it then see if it works?

I presume that you are referring to a Rogers-provided TyTN that you just got in the last week or two (Rogers just started selling the TyTN -- just in time for HTC to end-of-life it!) These are being shipped with WM5.0 AKU 3.3.1 (I believe). Likely they just disabled a registry entry on the units they are providing.
I can't test it for you because we don't have 3G in the Ottawa area (yet).
John

Video calling only works on Vision ready phones only

actually no i am using video calling on my softbank X01HT. HTC TyTn is suppose to work with the video calling feature. u might need to unlock your phone and get a new ROM for it to make it work if it doesnt

Are you sure its disabled? or they just won't let you add the feature on your phone? even when i got video calling put on my plan, the guy said they don't support it for vid calling, I told them to load it on anyways and if I lose $5 I lose, he put my phone down as a samsung a706. I would try to add the feature online and try...of if u just want to test it, and ur in the GTA, PM me the number and I will test it with you.

I know people that got it working on the TyTN but billing was all messed up and they got charged as if it were data or something.

Yeah I thought rogers may screw something up...but surprisingly they didn't do that bad...they charged me for text messages that they shouldn't have...but other than that everything is good.

I had no problems adding the vision plans.. I havent got them yet.. monday should be the day. So if i have the vision plan on them..it should work right? does Rogers actually disable the front facing video camera??
Kinda confused now lol.. was under the impression that the video camera was totally disabled..

Rogers disabled video calling from the firmware. Only way i can see around it is to reflash. I upgraded mine to WM6, and Vid Calling is working just fine.

Has anyone checked to see what Radio Rom Rogers released with the new TYTN
I was on another post and somebody was asking how he could upgrade to his buddys rom v1.42.00.00. His friend just got a new TYTN from Rogers.
That would be a radio rom and not an OS and the guy was made aware, but regardless I was just wondering if there is a new Radio Rom out there that Rogers has released with this new product.

if only you asked a few hours ago. I just got my TyTn tonight, but upgraded everything as soon as I got home. I can check tomorrow when i get to work (i work in a rogers store) if no one figures it out by then.

u mean you will check it out to see if it has video calling on wm5 when you get back to work??
What wm6 rom seems to be the best/most stable

your cooked wm6 rom that you loaded (according to your profile) might not have changed the radio.. MOST cooked roms do not include a radio and the phone will use the existing one.. just go to start > settings > "System" tab > Device Information and it will list the radio version..

Help with PTT problem

I have the 8525 runing the official att wm6 and this is my second phone via replacement from cingular. I can make PTT calls but i cannot receive PTT calls, they come to my phone as a voice call and it displays the caller id phone number with 33 at the end. I've spent hours and hours on the phone with cingular cust service and they keep wanting to replace my phone. has anybody had this problem? can anybody help me fix it????? it seems to be rare i can't find any info about it anywere...
P.S. I've tried swaping sim card with my wife and it worked fine in her BB pearl.

at least now you are at the correct forum!!!!
The "official" unofficial ROM upgrade might not be tailored exactly for 8525 and would explain your problem.

Rom
it's not the rom, i had the official at&t wm5 update from htc's website before i discovered this place and it didn't work then either.

Then your only alternative would be to reflash the official AT&T WM5 ROM. Then you can ask AT&T customer service for a level two tech, or perhaps higher, who will help you with your PTT problem.
But, I am surprised that you have yet to recieve a response on this forum. The folks here are up to speed on most. if not all issues.
Perhaps you should do a search of the Wiki - if not results, at least satisfactory to you, then a request to the senior gurus here for some guidance. But be warned, you will not receive assistance if you have not done your homework.

ROFL............. Customer service... tech 2 ROFL.....
Nope tech 2 can't help. they told me it's a known issue, however i can't find anything about it anywhere on the internet. I've been searching for the last 4 days and can't find one mention of anything close to what i am having trouble with. I really hope somebody here can help cuz customer service is a lost cause. trust me. did i mention this is my second phone with the same exact problem that is sooo rare nobody has ever heard of it.

Have you had AT&T disconnect you from the network and then do the reconnect. It sounds more like an issue dealing with data then with the actual PPC. Nothing indicates a phone problem.
But, your best bet might be the reflash to WM5.

reflash
Yeah i can try reflashing to the wm5 off htc's website but i had that before and it didn't work. incoming ptt has never worked right no matter what rom. but i will try it when i get home. I don't think it will make a difference tho.
ps one more thing to add is. I've swapped sim cards so i put my wifes sim card into my phone and it still doesn't received ptt calls. so it can't be my phone number. however i find it hard to beleived that it's the device. i wonder if the ptt feature is connected to my imei or my cid. but 2 phones that do the same exact thing??????? I'm sooo flustered.

If this problem occured over hard resets and with multiple ROMS, then you are looking at two possibilities:
- A provisioning issue.
- The phone hardware.
I'm assuming that AT&T has tried reprovisioning your phone several times since you are stating that you have talked to them a few times about this.
You noted that they offered to replace your device. I'm curious as to why you are not following their advice? If they say it's a known issue, and they offered to replace your device, it sounds to me like they know they can't fix it by playing around with the phone settings.
The PTT button is AT&T-specific and really they are the only ones who are going to know anything about it. I suggest you just follow their advice.

TyTN is on but calls are not getting through

I have an HTC branded TyTN and even though the phone is on and the reception shows strong the calls are not getting through. Also when I try to make calls they are droped.
This does not happen all the time but very often. I miss about half of my calls.
Anybody has any ideas?

Need a little more info to help solve your problem.
1. Where are you located.
2. Who is your service Provider
3. Has the phone ever worked right with this provider
4, How long have you had the phone and was it new or used when you got it.
5. Does it still have the same Rom and Radio on it as when you got it.
6. What versions are those.
7. Have you tried a hard reset
Answer these for starters and let's see what we can do to help you out.

I am located in Cyprus and the service provider is cytamobile-vodafone. The phone was purchased from expansys.com.cy
It worked fine for more than a year. Although this particular problem occured very rarely during the first year.
I know of at least one more person who experienced this problem for a short period of time but it was sorted out on its own.
The only update I made to the phone was installing Windows mobile 6 from the official HTC website. The phone worked fine for a few months after the update.
No other update of any rom was made.
I tried a hard reset but it did not help.

OK, and thanks for the response. Based on what you have said, my only other suggestion would be to check your version of radio installed. If you are unfamiliar with how to do that, it appears on the screen at every reboot, or, you can go to settings, device info and it is listed there. I am unfamiliar with service Providers in Cyprus, so I would suggest doing a search of the forums to see if you can find another user with your service provider and a similar phone to see which radio works best for them. If I remember right, the WM6 update from the HTC site, does flash a new radio also, and that may be the problem. If you can't find anything, start a new thread with a title like best radio for cytamobile-vodafone in Cyprus, and hopefully you will only get relevant responses from fellow countrymen.
Does anyone else have any ideas to help this fellow XDAer out? Sorry I couldn't be more help.

thank a lot steve
