I have an sx56 originally working wiht AT&T. I flashed the rom with 4.05 and it works fine except for some system halts. Also the screen backlight sometimes goes off and never goes on again until I soft rest it.
I live in Egypt and use vodafone coverage. are there any updated roms to use. will the 4.11 4.16 or 4.21 work with me or not. formerly I was using ppc2002 and working fine, and now running 4.05 and still working but with minor problems, can I upgrade or what.
you havn't specified,but it looks like you are using Tmobile's radio stack and rom. I have tried several and came up with the best rom for egypt which is the Qtek RS and rom. if you need anything else contact me on 0122200666
Hi guys ... nice to see few egyptians here
I have a friend needs help. He got a SIM-locked T-mobile XDA with 32 MB RAM orginally loaded with ROM 3.14 and RSU 6.20 for T-mobile.
I managed to unlock his XDA and upgrade the ROM to 4.00.05 ENG. The problem is with the RSU ... I tried the O2 4.21 and Qtek 3.25 but still doesn't get Mobinil signal. I tried to change the band to 900/1800 and 900 only and still no signal (did not try Vodafone though).
Could there be any firm ware problem or I miss a minor actoin.
I would appreciate giving more details on your XDAs and the steps and ROM, RSU versions you used. My mobile is 012-3147866 or e-mail [email protected] ... thanks in advance.
Bye

yes you can upgrade to 4.00.16 and your bug will disappear, however there will still be some annoying stuff as the WM2003 is still a pre-release..but the 4.00.16 doen't bug me like the 4.05.
[/b]bisooo....as for you, not sure if I have good news...but try it on vodafone and tell me what is going on....

Does that mean u actually get vodafone signal ?? ... what RSU version are you using plz
Samer: Thanks for the reply anyway ... actually the XDA dosn't sense any network coverage (manual network selection). So I believe I 'm using the wrong RSU or its firmware is locked for T-mobile. You wrote in your signature that you still have RSU 6.18 ... does that work in Egypt ?!
bisooo,
don't jump to conclusions...first of all let me assure you that most Tmobiles and SimensSX65 and QTeck and ALL XDAs work in Egypt. I have had a couple of them, bought a good number for a couple of friends....they are all working fine. ofcourse unlocked...
So lets start by some simply question first, before I go on with those questions one very important question though did you by any chance while in 'calender' bootloader mode i.e. GSM options ...did you press ANY THING OTHER THAN THE 900 or THE 900/1800 BUTTON??
this is very important....
now.. for the questions:
1. tell me how you unlocked the device...
2. where you bought it from...
3. is it an 'A' model or a 'B' model.
other questions will follow, just plug me in with the headlines firs!..
Dont worry..
Samer,
1st thanks again for your thoughtfulness ... happy to tell you that I finally managed to let it work ... I installed T-mobile RSU 6.24 and it got the signal. I just handed it to my friend 10 minutes ago and he was sooo glade
one last question plz and this is for MY device. I heard lots of complains about ROM 4.00.16 and 4.00.21 ... did you find any value for them over the 4.00.11 one (new features, bugs fixed, ... etc)
thanks again
bisooo,
not sure as I upgraded from 4.05 so I havn't had the chance,, my opinion is as long as it's a prerelease we might as well wait a while and get something more dependable than what is in our hands...but from reviews around i think that the 4.11 is ok...
just curious, how did you unlocke your friends device? any method other than the manipulator?
Also, have you tried to put together a local car kit for the set... I am thinking of making one locally and wanting some advice on the topic..
take care...
Samer,
For unlocking, I upgraded the XDA first to ROM 3.17 from the kitchen ... when it starts, it asks u if you want to unlock then you say yes ... for my device as it had ROM 3.18 I copied the XDAunlock.exe to the device and ran from there.
For the car kit, I believe I saw a topic here talked about converting a cradle to a car kit ... it has all details with pics too!!. Search under the accessories forum.
Good luck ...
hi biso007,
hope I am not disturbing you...but finding someone from Egypt who knows about the device is good...
anyway ..I remeber you upgraded your friend's radio stack to 6.24 ! and rom 4.00.21 . Is he encountering any problems with SMS...I am having the weiredest bug ever with my upgraded rom. I receive SMS but can't send them. when changing the sim card to vodafone isntead..everything works perfect. tried all the tricks of sending from different places and excluding the international code from the message service number....etc. nothing is working..
I would like also to know if you have faced any problems while working around with installing different Radio versions for your friend's device?? did you encounter any difficulty there??
thanks a million, :?
Hello there;
I am very sorry not to reply to you earlier, but I had to travel immediately after my post and could not find the time there to get to the forum and see the replies.
I am very happy to hear from you, and to share each other's experiences about this great device.
I am still running the 4.05, still have the problems but I can live with it. I was considering to upgrade to .16 or 21, but decided to wait till we have a real release not a prerelease versions.
I am running radio version A.20.10, I use vodafone, and I had absolutely no problems with sms. I do not have experience with mobinil in this subject.
By the way I downloaded a midi player and tried to use midi files as ring tones to save ram space, but the sound is very poor. Does anybody know how to improve the sound of midi tones on the xda.
waiting for your replies............

Up to my information, the XDA MIDI player is not capable to play MIDI files that use more than 4 insturments. So, either to get tones in this specs, or if you have the knowledge you can use any MIDI editor and disable some tracks.
Good luck and Welcome back

I wonder how a smart phone running symbian or other operating systems with a total memeory of 4 MB, can play polyphonic and midi tones perfectly and the xda cannot ??
I used a midi editor to reduce the number of tracks, and even used a single track midis and the result is still poor. anymore ideas !!!
radio for qtek working with egypt
have u find radio version works fine with egypt ? please help
i am working on radio 3.23 but signal is weak and when iam in low coverage signal lost and its does come back until i turn off and on network again
Hi, I have recently upgraded my XDA Exec tothe latest ROM version 1.30.107 WWE. I went into the extended ROM to install the cab relevant to video calling. The video calling button now appears but whenever I place or receive a video call on my phone I can see myself and the other party. But the other party cannot see me. It can't be drivers as the cam works for me to see myself. Anyone any ideas as to what it could be?
Regards
Ashley
Thought I'd start a thread where people can post there issues/bugs on ROM upgrade 1.35 and it will also help people to make an informed decision before upgrading to this ROM.
I have now used this ROM on my SPV M3100 for over several weeks and the only issue I have is when using my 3 network USIM the voicemail speed dial 1 does not work even after going through the settings or registry the bizzare thing is I don't get this issue with other network SIM i.e. O2, Orange or T-Mobile.
P.S. before someone says I may have a faulty 3 USIM, I did not have this issue prior to this upgrade.
Is the 1.35 Rom different from?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294927&highlight=issues
The HTC ROM 1.35 is different from the cingular ROM 2.06, it's supposedly the most stable of the ROM upgrades or so they say!
I haven't any issue, Radio & ROM 1.35 ... i've read someone has problems with messaging service...
Using a Task Manager ONE TIME only i've seen the Messaging Service stopped, just a reboot.
now works well, bt, wifi & radio
and what happend, when you try to change the very first contact on sim? I had similar problem, but on old nokia phone, not windows nor symbian.

Would the HTC 1.35 ROm work on the Cingular 8525?
loud busy tone even if Phone is on loudness=0
i have some problems with this Radio 1.35.00.11. The thread is about that, isn´t it?
First of all my phone beeps loud out of the speaker at the back(the loud one for "free speaking") if the Person iam calling is not available (busy signal). Even if the Phone is turned to loudness 0! Iam not sure that the Radio Rom is responsible for that, because i reseted my vario2 completely. But iam sure that problem i never had before(with the german origninal Radio ROm).
*edit* iam currently reading that this is not a problem from the Radio Rom... The extRom may be responsible. Sorry!
But please help me the following Topic:short: is it possible to flash to an older RadioRom?
*/edit*
Because of that i wanted to flash the 1.27. Radio ROM to the Vario2. I took this one: ftp://xda:[email protected]_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe
The flashing procedure got complete without any error, but on the Vario iss still the 1.35.00.11! Isn´t it possible to flash to a older Rom Version?
Thanks for help!?
I am using Bepe's 0.66 ROM on my O2 Orbit 2 in the UK.
Not sure if it is anything to do with the ROM, but in the last week I have had a number of calls where the incoming call quality is terrible. The caller sounds like a Dalek and I can barely make out what they are saying. My voice sounds OK to them.
Has anyone had this problem? I did not experience the problem before upgrading to the custom ROM, however I only used the device for a week before upgrading, so can't be sure the ROM is the cause.
Cheers,
Tim
Try different Radio Roms!
First try the lastest 1.27 Radio ... then the lastest 1.58 Radio ... 1.64 and 1.65!
On of those work without Problem! Its the same reason why Blue Tooth make troubles or not!
Hey guys ive been using the HD2 for awhile now down in Australia... Im using ROM 1.66 WWE with rado version 2.09! It was originally a T9193 with Telstra software! but when i flashed it to the 1.66 WWE it now shows T8585! Im using the OPTUS network...
Now my problem is, people keep saying they call me but the phones switched off! and if they do get through to me... the call either drops out... or they have to call me twice to be able to hear me!
Any suggestions on what it might be?? or any prefferred ROM & RADIO for Australia? thanks
Try switching to GSM only (Turn off 3G) and see if the problem still persists.
hmmm people still cant get through to me!!
