O2 stock ROM issues, any advice? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

I've recently got an XDA Exec from work that I'm having two issues with. Knowing how good XDA-Developers is when I'm doing all sorts of crazy stuff with my Wizard I thought I'd jump ship to the Universal forum.
Unfortunately as it's a work unit I'm stuck with official ROMs, which means I'm using the latest O2 ROM that is AKU 2.0 I believe.
Issue 1) ActiveSync seems to get stuck some times and when it's 'looking for changes' when connected to Exchange. It just sticks there and fails to either proceed or cancel. I have to disconnect GPRS, then ActiveSync times out and it's ok again. Is there any way to fix this?
Issue 2) When I open the device and it's unlocked the screen comes on automatically. Is there any way to do this when it is locked too?

XDA2 Socket SDIO Wifi causes a Freeze, then a hard reset???

Sometimes, when connected using the socket SDIO card, the XDA2 freezes, turning off causes the power to fade, then it will not turn on again unless i do a hard reset? Any ideas? I have the latest UK rom update.
What driver?
Hello mikeycollins13
Have you got the latest drivers? I bought my socket card a few days ago and got a driver version ending with a D whilst the one you can download ends with a C. I haven't had such bad freezes, but yes, it freezes sometimes for a short while.
Cheers
Johan
Yup
I downloaded the latest ones from their site. Still happening, returning the xda for repairs, don't know what else to do
Try this driver
This is the latest "D" driver that is not yet published on Sockets site.
Good luck
Johan
thanks
may hold off on sending it back now, did you ever here of this? And how do you look for Ap's? With Netstsumbler or Pocket Winc?
Netstumbler won't work
I can't use netstumber because it will only find the network I am connected to. I go to the connection settings, choose networkcards, and there is a list of detected networks. It updates itself often. I am often on a network with hidden SSID. The first time I have to manualy enter the network data (SSID, WEP) with the "add new settings..." option.
Regards
Johan
By the way...
I have one issue on it posted elsewhere and that is when I turn off my PDA the card seldom wakes again, but I only have to do a softreset, which is much less painfull than a hard reset. I can live with that.
Sent in for repair, back with apparent NEW o2 ROM, 1.66
This problem kept on happening and I sent back to o2 uk for repairs. They are returning it tome tomorrow, apparently a software issue, so they have reflashed my rom with a new ROM that is unaivalble on their site, ROM 1.66xxx (didn't get the rest) Don't know how to make a copy of it for you if you guys want one. Best,
rom 1.66, o2 uk
It has a new Clear type tuner, radio stack 10, that's all I found so far.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So it really is 1.66 - cool. I like the sound of the Cleartype tuner too.
So COME ON GUYS - HOW DOES HE MANAGE TO COPY THE ROM FROM OFF HIS PHONE SO HE CAN SHARE IT WITH US?

GPRS Wont Reconnect

Hi all
I am using my XDA IIi on Vodafone but when i connect to GPRS the first time it works perfectly but if I reconnect to the GPRS service either hours or days later it says the i cant connect to "internet" which is the APN name for mobile web on vodafone.
The only way to rectify this is is to switch flight mode on and off again.
Has anyone else noticed this and if so have they found a solution?
Thanks
Gordon
Common problem I'm afraid. Happens with the O2 or i-mate ROM for me, and many others.
Can only hope they fix it soon.
Hmmmm thats not good news. Its also quite interesting as it didnt used to do that.
Is this a problem that drifts in and out or just one that develops and then you are stuck with. Ive had my IIi since march and its only started doing this in the last couple of weeks.
Hopefully a fix will come out eventually for it are any of the roms, imate etc any better?
Cheers
G!
Well I prefer the i-mate ROM images as they aren't network branded, but they are all pretty much the same past the customisations, Microsoft release the updates, HTC customise it, and the company that brands the particular device customises it.
Thanks for the info.
Are the imate roms on the ftp somewhere? I couldnt find them. I have the new O2 rom that someone has added radio 1.3 to running at the moment but it did not fix the problem.
Cheers

Truly Disappointed in myself

Hi All, I have to say, I think I have bitten off more than I can chew....I can't get the upgrade to work even using the NOid file as instructed..... I can't get pocket outlook to load ont my xda from supplied disc...the option is ghosted and won't let me select it for install......just connecting my xda and syncing leaves me with an exclamation mark and the support code 85010014, none of the info is txd to my xda...... I can't load gprs monitor as it says I need to upgrade my rom first... I was quite happy with my ipaq h5550 everything worked, linking up with my nokia 6630...... Now I'm totally baffled and feel well out of my depth with the xda I can't get the basics to work please help.

Tim
Is this a ROM upgrade?
think of a ppc as a computer.
if it doesnt work, format it and start again.
a complete flash can be done quite effectively in less than an hour, then reinstall your apps.
it can be unreliable, pedantic, and even stubborn. some devices simply dont work and get sent back.
in the end though, all the people here are willing to help, so if you can perhaps take some time, and be more specific. i would simply start again. if your not particularly conversant nor knowledgeable in any particular area, then consider being careful and getting some good back up software (2 days to go from SPB).
reflash your device entirely, again. if it fails, flash it again. if it still fails, post a description and a request for help online while you do it, or plan it and use either PM or Messenger with somebody who might be able to help. if you are upgrading with legitimate bone fide released rom from your suppliers, get them to help you.
if you are using cooked roms, or the beta version, there are a few here (not I), that will help, but many work so some forewarning and preparation might be required. if you are not that experienced at it, step back to the released roms from the suppliers, beta's are just that.
repost, with clarity and details, including the version you are on, the version you are stepping to, the details of the device manufacturer (dont say HTC eg Imate, O2, dopod etc).
In other words, I am not much help, cause you aint given us enough to go with.

Outlook sync problems
Thanks Simon, I contacted my supplier (o2) with good results...
Just in case anybody else is experiencing the same problem with their outlook sync...........I phoned o2 technical who were very helpful and informed me that if I removed MS Activesync 4.0 (supplied with disc) from my pc, reboot, then download and execute MS Activesync 4.1 from MS website (just google 'activesync 4.1') then finally reboot after installing MS Activesync 4.1 (before connecting your Exec). Once rebooted connect your device and.......presto everything is working fine..
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers

8525 Black 2.5 w/TomTom Go 910

After finally being able to get my Internet working through PDA connect I decided it was time to test out my Tomtom Go 910 with the new Black. When I was running the original cingular rom that came with the phone I was able to connect to TomTom Traffic and weather services only. Now after the upgrade it recognizes my phone but says that wireless data is not available? Is this due to the proxy issue with cingular or is it just that TomTom does not support WM6 at all yet? Or something else? I'm trying to decide if it would be better to revert back to a WM5 system because I really do like Black 2.5. Hopefully it may be a quick fix.
TomTom910 issue
hi buddy,
I'm in the same boat with my Vario II.
Went to WM6 (LVSW) on the phone and all of a sudden TomTom tells me the DUN connection is invalid (Data over Bluetooth I believe).
*VERY ANNOYING* ....
Same Problem Here with tomtom one V4, tried 7 different WM5 & WM6 Roms and 4 different radio roms, still same problem.
Trying to find the original roms to reflash, rather go back to WM5 than waste the 40 euros i paid for the plus services.
Original ROM
I've got a post out there asking where to find them, will pm you if anyone gets back to me mate.
Yet another device that doesn't support the silly PAN profile. Stupid MS developers thought they were doing us a favor by removing DUN.
At least they came to their senses and said they'll work on getting dun implemented again soon...
Anyone else have any luck with this?
sadly no luck, my spv took an unfortunate trip down 2 flights of stairs and replaced by insurance.
tomtom works on my new one ok, aslong as i dont flash it.
Nope
...not yet, still waiting for M$ to add DUN support back in from what I understand.
May be rolling back to WM5

Universal USB connection dead

Hi, i have a HTC universal, on which i succesfully flashed one of the newer firmware's with mobile6
other then some minor details that are constantly being fixed here with the good work of some ppl here, i had no problems.
But today, the MDA just won't do anything thru the USB bus anymore, except loading.
it will load thru the usb-pc connection, or with the wall plug, but no data connection at all anymore.
I had this once, in the very early beginning of my MDA and i reflashed the MDA with the original T-mobile firmware then, i thought it was from playing around with a lot of software. the MDA worked fine again after that.
But now i can't even flash the MDA anymore. I can start it into the bootloader (v1.01) but my laptop doesn't see the device, and can't flash it.
any one any idea's how to fix this ?
Thanx, steffie
