Does imate pocket pc edition support GPS system, and what about 3G ...?
Pls let me know, and thanks for ur replying
not sure what you are asking but you can get gps for most pda's
some have it build in 3g is a whole different thing as it is a way to get data from ones cellphone provider nok to get location as to where one is located
you dont mention what imate device you use which makes it imposible to answer your question thouh

i have tmobile pocket pc phone edition running 2002 and want to surf the web using my phone hooking up to the gprs on it..... i read one or two things supposly telling me how to do it but it never worked..... also can anyone help me out.... i have active sync 3.6 also
My posting should answer your question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6378
I have yet to check out whether the new T-Mobile 2003 upgrade has the wmodem capability.
well i am on rom 3.14 so i wll try it tonite and hopefully it will work.... thanks though
ok i read it and it said something about a serial cable..... i thought we were able to use the cradle that came with the pocket pc phone to surf on our laptops
I guess you are talking about http://www.xda-developers.com/modem/
I didn't try it so I can't answer it. I have that question too. Try your cradle USB and see if it works. If your ROM has wmodem application, don't bother with the hack; otherwise, try the wmodem.zip in thread posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=27042#27042 I am really counting on this .zip file to work with the new WM2003. I am still waiting for a response.
2 things
- first since i have 3.14 (thts the number it says when i rst it) will that wmodem work with my phone and how do i know if i already have the software or not
- second, i dont have a serial port on the laptop i am using it on anyway so i would have to use a usb converter anyways...... so thts another reason i need to use the cradle..... it should be a way i can use it thru there right
PS.... i read somewhere at that where they thought it would be easy to surf on your laptop if u upgrade to 2003 that it aint true.... tht u in the same situation
wireless modem don't work
I have 4.01.16 ENG. I tray with german wireles modem, but it not working.
PC an MDA comunicate , but they can't conect to my provider (HT-mobile).
that didnt help me either..... is there something i am missing or was everything i needed on that pdf file???? is there another way to do this ????
I tryied to connect my Qtek2020 with NEC616v via bluetooth, so I could use it as a highspeed modem with the mobile broadband. It wont pair either ways. The Qtek finds the NEC616v but when I press a pin code, nothing appears on the NEC, and the Qtek returns with a message saying that my pincode is wrong.
Has anyone any experience with this pacticular problem?
Thanks
Peter
Nokia´s or other mobiles that run Symbian operating system, is not working with the Qtek/XDA II Bluetooth at all. You can´t even send contacts...
Ive got reports of it working with some SonyEricsson mobiles, although, of course not the most popular ones (T610/T630).
I think the bluetooth compatability is really bad on the Qtek2020/XDAII.
Hopefully, this will be fixed in newer roms, or maybe Windows Mobile 2003SE, or Windows Mobile 2005.
not sure what this NEC616v thing is but i suspect if you want to use it for data transfer you'll have to get some sort of driver for the xda
Symbian phones works with XDA II
Hey
I got a Orange SPV M1000 with the latest firmware and I can easily send and receive files from a SE P900. When trying to bluejack I often see all kinds of phones altough I seldom try to connect to them. Make sure you have the 1.66 firmware as I have heard that the previous versions where weaker regarding bluetooth functionality.
Good luck
Johan
Hi!
Thanks...
But 1.66 only works with Orange and other specified operator images. My Qtek2020 is not Sim locked.... When I asked the Qtek support, they told me 1.66 was only for Qtek's with Orange or TDC images..
hi everyone!
i've seen the same post ealier (~4 weeks ago) but don't found decision in there. So asking for again if somebody already found it.
Problem:
I use JAM as a GPRS modem via bluetooth. After voice call receiving JAM close both bluetooth and GPRS connection. So to contnue my work i have to reconnect manually from laptop
Before JAM i've used different phones by SonyEricsson (from T39) for over 4 years and hadnt never meet with this problem.
I've tried to find somethin that may help to decide this prob in GPRS and bluetooth settings of JAM but nothing
and one more questions:
is any software instead of standart WModem, witch always on and ready to connection without any manual operations like starting Wmodem. Soft making my JAM featured as any simple _ordinary_ phone like SE T610 for example?
thanx in advance for your answers (and sorry for bad english
I brought a nokia 6670 for approx. 320 US$ in may 2005. activated gprs from mobilink pakistan in august (i got that phone so i could surf internet and chat!)...and it's 500 pak.rupees per month for UNLIMITED gprs usage. 500rs. is about 8.5 US$.... yes... LESS THAN 10 US$ per month.
I wonder why that is so. btw, i use yahoo and msn messenger on the nokia6670. ;thinking of buying an i--mate but all confused. JAM here is for 33,000 pak rs. that's....560US$... with 128mb upgrade its about 593US$ but the guy at the shop said I can go aal the way upto 1GB which would cost 38,000 pak rs. (644US$)...
IS IT possible to use msn and yahoo messenger both on the i-mate or just msn?
also....i knw size matters and all. I like the big screen of the PDA2k but slide out keyboard seems risky... the PDA2 is available here too for 42,000 pak.rs. (711US$).. and K-JAM for about same price (711US$)....
I want something big screen and for large internet browsing so i enjoy watching pics, seeings movies, reading e-books etc. would need to stop wearing small pocket jeans though if i get the PDA2... so maybe K-JAM.
Also, whch out of these is most reliable as far as memory not getting lost and stability of system goes? no hanging/freezing etc.
Also, I use 2 SD cards with my cannon digital camera, one is 128mb and other is 256mb and i plan to use those with whichever IMATE i get. I have a 256 miniSD card with the nokia 6670. I wanna ask can I clip on the mini-sd card to it's holder and use that as a regular SD card on the Imate? I use the camera a lot for work so would love to be able to do that
Thinking of selling off the 6670 for about 200US$ and getting an i-mate in Jan.2006.. i look forward to being more active at this forum (great work admin after i do get an i-mate....JAM or K-JAM or what... :S Any advice and answers to questons above I'd be most thankful for.
sorry , one more question i forgot to ask!
Is EDGE technology dependent on the DEVICE or the service provider. I called my provider and the lady said it's regular gprs....
i'm asking coz the K-JAM has EDGE in it and the JAM doesn't...so...getting a K-JAM would mean faster browsing? not that i have a problem with the current gprs on the nokia... i even hook up the cellphone to my PC via USB when my regular cable isn't working and use the gprs... i mean, heck it's less tha 10US$ per month so it's my "backup"..
as u can see i've been doing research on all these imate models kind of stuff this last week on the internet before selling off the nokia6670 and buyng one of these
-nad7602
1. surf internet, prefer a big screen but it's not major issue.
2. listen mp3s, watch videos, view saved pics.
3. make/receive calls. send sms.
4. use yahoo and msn messenger and iffff possible mirc too.
I'd like something in which I can do all the above at same time without the device getting frozen.. so i can use it just like on a PC
5. I heard that if the JAM's, PDA2k and PDA2 battery goes down u lose saved data but not so in the K-JAM it retains data.
6. synchronization is not main requirement. i just want to be able to swap jpegs, vids, mp3s that all.
7. can i use a mini-SD card AND regular SD card in the K-JAM? maybe use the clip thingy that comes with mini-SDs like i do with my card reader?
8. I absolutely do not want any freezes, white screens etc.
9. although i am careful i know moving/sliding keyboards are a risk, may get lose..keys get dust..and i DO get sweaty palms and hands...hehe.. so maybe PDA2 but only IF it does not lose data on down battery.
10. maybe it's possible to intall programs on the SD card so in case of powerdown i don't lose programs and data?
I have not considered JASJAR coz too big and cumbersome and it's 1000US$ plus here.
so....JAM with upgrade, or PDA2k or K-JAM....or PDA2.. me so confused lol...not to mention that I heard theres tonnes more programs and tweaks and games for the 2003 windows in JAM and not so in the 2005 windows in the K-JAM. once again, i'd like to do the above functions and that's it. there's hardly any place here with wi-fi etc. and my original post had a question about the EDGE speed compared to simple gprs (new readers of this thread please re-read it)
once again, i really like this website. just wat i wanted to find and will definitely need when i get an imate. any helpful advice about the above questions, about avoiding above problems with program updates and ROMs etc.? i'd be most thankful.
yeh can use MSN (Pocket MSN that should come with it) Yahoo (use Agile Messenger) and IRC (www.WMirc.com)
Videos and pics will be ok with little or no problem bepending on video format, etc
can browse web, make and receive Call/SMS
5. I heard that if the JAM's, PDA2k and PDA2 battery goes down u lose saved data but not so in the K-JAM it retains data.

a PPC running Windows Mobile 5 will(should) Retain data as the other WM2k3 PPC's will not, Beacause WM 2k2/3 save data in RAM where as WM5 saves it in ROM therefore wont lose it all when their is no power
The K-JAM (which i think the HTC Wizard) only has a Mini SD card slot so normal SD cards wont fit
8. I absolutely do not want any freezes, white screens etc.

Dont we all , but programs do have bugs and will crash at some point I have the MDA Vario (HTC Wizard) and not had much problem with crashing, allthou some people will say it crashs 10times a day, I guess it all down to what software and how you use it to weather it will crash or not
9. although i am careful i know moving/sliding keyboards are a risk, may get lose..keys get dust..and i DO get sweaty palms and hands...hehe.. so maybe PDA2 but only IF it does not lose data on down battery.

you dont have use the slide out keyboard as there is a onscreen keyboard like on other PPC''s the Slide out keyboard is only really usfull for long emails/SMS's
so far had no problems with my slide out keyboard
Most Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Smartphone 2003 will run on windows Mobile 5
some are a bit buggy thou if ran on WM5, but more and more programs as been made to work fine with WM5

Both, you need a Device and Service Provider to support EDGE for the Faster Speeds
thanks PayableOnDeath (love ur "nick/handle" btw
ok, that was some good advice. here are some more things i'd like to discuss or get advice from you or anyone else so please some input here!.
about EDGE. i tried something yesterday. see, i was using nokia6670 to USB to PC gprs setup and i heard if there is connection problem to set the modem at lower speed so I had it at 115200 bps for months and it was slow, but reliable. yesterday i tried the highest modem setting (921600 bps) and it connected and i noticed much improved speed and the gprs did not d/c like it was doing back in august so i was like......does this mean my service provider is EDGE capable?!
other thing is.....I maintain a blog AND I work for a website from home in which I have to write short stuff, like 200 words entries and upload 1.5 to 2mb pics....like 6 pics...and high quality 2 minute video clips....almost daily if not every alternate day and I am a heavy chatter..like mundo heavy!... so...keyboard needed? I checked out this site called outofbox or something...showing a universal bluetooth keyboard...so....wait, here's the link ------- > http://www.thinkoutside.com/stowawaybt_product.html
basically i'm an avid writer and jotter so I can still jot lots of word documents etc. on a JAM using the onscreen kb right?
now, my work is all photography/vids ....been using 2 SD cards for a year and i already have a 256mb R-SD for the nokia6670 so I think I will DEFINITELY have to get a 500mb or 1gb card whatever it is so...
btw, both my SD cards are kingston (128 and 256 mb) and the reduced one...is Microsim 256mb RSMMC... they all work fine with the JAM and K-JAM?
I think the most suitable "combo" for me would be 128mb upgrade JAM, BT keyboard, 1gb SD card with WM5 installed ....i dunno man.. :S
one important thing to factor into all this is that in Pakistan there is high rate of theft. I'm not really worried about it coz...i'm a geek and hardly social life and I am a very private kinda guy and don't flash around "stuff" so it's all good ...but it has to be considered... and secondly, I think the technology here is not as upto date as other countries....other than if this GPRS is EDGE capable which would mean I'd definitely go for the K-JAM... as I said in the first post , the GPRS is DIRT cheap here! I was up half the night at my "other" work - I'm a doctor, btw....checking forums of guess what (wink,hint...PDAs!!) on my 6670. I see myself using a PDA for a good 5-6 hours so that also has to be considered and is one reason i have ditched getting a PDA2k or PDA2 (larger screens, less battery life eh?) as well as I think it would get too much "noticed"...
I get the JAM and wait for a WM5 patch? ...looks like every one else in this forum as all the other websites are doing just that! *sigh*
what i appreciate is that here in pakistan the tech. and gadgets might be like half a year or year behind...but price wise seems fine. the JAM was for 666US$ when a friend of mine got it like feb-march 2005 and it is now 550US$. it's a pity no second hands here coz hardly anyone even if rich buys cool tech toys coz of theft/gunpoint etc. most ppl still use colourless screen cellphones or like at the most a 6600...and a few N-70s or 90s i've seen but i think what's the point if no EDGE or 3G here... even the 7610 and 6670 is still one of the newer and better ones here. and wifi...ppl here don't even know wat it is most of the time.. hehe.
so a JAM with a WM5 would mean no data loss on battery down/shutdown....that'd be cool...in fact, that would make the K-JAm sorta obsolete hehe...but I think there are powerful market forces at work here.... wifi yes...wifi no.... SD card yes..Reduced size card no..
ok i dled destinator 6 and in the options i go to set gps signal, it does not seem to find my antena which i bought for this device (t-mobile mda20 the destinator rogram works, including all the maps, its just ever since i upgraded to wm 6 or 6.1 i cannot seem to activate the gps option? is there something i have to set in the registry to enable gps detection? i plug tyhe antenna in the back of my ppc in the little port hole, to the right of the camera hole. and well if there is a way to make the ppc detect the gps antenna i would appriciate you guys telling me how? maybe a driver that i need, may be registry code i need, maybe dif gps program will work.
PLEASE HELP
thank you
mike szalajko
also i need help with gprs
well the thi ng is i use the ppc as cell phone, i put my tmobile card in it and the phone works, but i cannot use internet or you know like msn or anything, why is there anything i can do to use internet if i have a tmobile card in the ppc and use it as cell phone, how? maybe i could even use it to run on destinator , kind of like a cell phone connection gps
