Got a unit the other day that was used, so they sent me out a replacement, and it has WM6 installed - YAY!
Just waiting for my Micro SD card to arrive to see if I can load TT6 onto it (whihc could be a problem!)
I guess ROM updates must be due shortly for the rest?

tonyflow, that's interesting! I ordered an XDA Trion from O2 UK today. They were out of stock for a little while, so this must be a new batch. I wonder what OS they'll have installed...
Will report back!
The first unit I got (which was already used - which I was not happy about) was WM5, called their customer services, and they got a replacement out to me the next day - the box had a manual addition for WM6 - and when I powered the device on it was confirmed
I knew that O2 Germany had a ROM update for WM6, but wasnt aware of O2 UK having it! Saves me the hassle of upgrading and then trying to relicense tomtom in the future anyways
I got mine at the beginning of July and it has WM5 on it
I wonder if it would be easy to upgrade and if all the programs I have on it would still work.....
Anyway, I have sent them an email as to why the Trion is mot mentioned on the my-xda site (I became aware of it a while back when someone posted the seeo2.com for malaysian customers and I looked for the english version and re-visited it when it was mentioned on el-reg). Just hope a WM6 update is forthcoming....
Well, just called O2 as I saw the order had "Provisioning Failed" by it on their website. Turns out that they're out of stock - why they couldn't of told me this when I bought it I don't know - and it's contrary to what it says on their online store. So maybe, if I get a unit from yet another new batch, the chance of having WM6 increases?

As expected the new rom was not on the o2 site, So i rang Data Support and was told the rom is ready and has been for a while, The problem is the people who update the o2 Site are now saying another week befor they can add the downloadable upgraded rom file.
I tried every option including begging for the upgrade but to no avail
We also larphed about a week to update a web site, so i think this means there is no real idea of when we will see th latest rom

Well thats excellent new, Thanks doing the updates now
John
The o2 XDAII website also has the update now...I've downloaded it this evening.
Anthony
So does the update fix the Bluetooth issues of not being able to send files and phonebook contacts ?
So Who produces the Updates etc
So who produces the images? I thought the ones on the i-mate site were well ahead of the rest (currently 1.52.00wwe), but now O2 have 1.6.
Yes the extended rom is different and not comarable, but are the main ROM versions - are they all the same??
And not to hijack the origional questions.. Does anyone know what (if any) bluetooth issues are fixed in the O2 release??
Thanks,
Ian

I just upgraded mine, it took about 90 minutes to do, and the bluetooth appears to be exactly the same. I can send files to and from my pc, but not to my mobile phone. However it would seem my T610 isnt compatible with the XDA2, but other phones are ( and hopefully all future mobile phones and Bluetooth devices ).
Theres still no proper profiles such as OBEX to allow it to be compatible with all devices.
Don't bother with this ROM upgrade if you are seeking a solution to the headset/handsfree issue.
It doesn't fix anything. It makes it worse.
Bad piece of code - keep away - save your energy.
Can someone tell me what the Qtek V1640 is?
I have been looking on the web and can't really find any information about it in English.
I've been looking to upgrade my O2 XDA II to an HTC Universal and have found that Vodafone are able to supply the V1640 which they believe to be the same as the Qtek 9000 which I can see from trawling through loads of info is the same as the XDA Exec (or almost).
Does this mean the V1640 is the same device?
Is it the same spec or is it a cut down version?
Does someone have a comparison sheet available for all the different versions of the HTC Universal?
Hi there,
I left Vodafone recently to get an O2 Exec. Their retentions team promised me they could get me a Qtek 1640V which they repeatedly promised was their name for a Qtek 9000, ie an HTC Universal. I spoke to loads of different people and they all promised the same thing.
So, I waited (lots of mistakes over delivery) and waited and eventually I received a Qtek 16*20* V... which is an HTC Blue Angel. Furious, I called up... everyone now insistent that the 1640 is unavailable from Vodafone.
Got my Exec now and it's beautiful, just beautiful.
My advice? Avoid vodafone if you want to ever get your hands on a Universal.
Matt S.
Hi Matt
Yeah I read your post before posting this one.
I orginally was with O2 but there service was appalling so I moved across to Vodafone I've had some serious difficulties with Vodafone in the past but persistence paid off and they are now very VERY helpful... In fact much more so than O2 every were so doubt I will ever go back to O2.
I know Vodafone are preparing the full launch of the product so they are likely to be suffering supply problems just now before they do.
Before they do and before I spend my free upgrade on the VP1640 I want to make sure it is up to spec.
Do you or does anyone else have any more information that can shed light on the VP1640 please?
Anyone can help out on this?
Received the V1640. Nice looking device.
Photo's to follow shortly.
In fact received 2 One for myself and another for my partner.
I can confirm I have a V1640, took me telling me they did them before i got one, but it is definatelty a Universal!

This is O2's current response on AKU2 for the Mini S:
"We will be launching a new ROM for the Mini S, unfortunately we
cannot state when this will be. We are planning to launch the next
service pack for windows mobile 5 called AKU 2, which I assume will be
the same as i-mate."
Trying to poke for more specific...

that would be nice, lookin forward to this update!
O2
At least something is on the way, but how does O2 announce when updates become available?
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaminis_soft.html when the update is released it will be here
I have been on O2's case for ages regarding this, this is the response i got today;
Thank you for contacting O2 Customer Service.
I am sorry for any inconvenience that may have been caused.
However, we have not yet received any updates when the next software update is due to be released on our website for the O2 XDA® MINI S, which will include the 'push email' feature. This is the reason that we are unable to help you directly with your query.
Please keep on checking our website for further software updates for your phone. To check the updates, please click on the link below:

They said they're currently doing 'internal testing' and still don't know when they'll be realeasing it...and no, they are no excepting external beta testers

how do i upgrade if dead
dear all
how do i upgrade if my phone is not powering on to normal state.
i m not able to get connect to pc (active sync).
Please let me know its urgent.
thanks in adv
I am (along with 3 others from work) thinking of getting the trinity (HTC P3600) phone. The fact it is a pda and phone and has gps all in one is the main reason.
Because it is shipped with windows mobile 5 does the gps work straight from the box? (I have tomtom navigator 6 ready to go on it) Or does I need to download and install an upgrade on the phone/rom? Basically why do no specification charts mention the gps? See for example - http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_p3600-1694.php
I have heard that originally htc shipped it with the gps receiver in the phone but it was not active - they then relented and issued a rom upgrade which allowed it to be made active. Is this correct and if so why did they not originally ship it with the gps working? And also if so are they now shipped with the rom update so the gps works?
Can one get windows mobile 6 and put it on the phone? Why is it still shipped with windows mobile 5 and not 6?
Any help would be appreciated to a newbie!
If your get a device manufactured in April 2007 or later, you're likely to have WM5 with GPS out of the box. If it was manufactured before then, you have an option to upgrade it with official WM5 ROM with GPS support.
If you want WM6, check WM6 topic on this forum... It is not officially available.
I am in the market as well. I can't seem to find any white ones. My black one died and I am not going to reinvest in a device when the coating peels off.
Some dealers are saying that you have to update the ROM after purchasing. Looks like they have old stock. I think the new ones ship with the GPS ROM but I have yet to confirm this.
I am glad they don't ship with WM6 yet. There are some new features but WM5 is tested and stable and does everything I need. If I had Exchange 2007, I would want WM6.
All devices sold after February 2007 by Orange or Dopod should have the GPS enabled ROM.
Some dealers are still selling HTC P3600 with the original ROM, and a CD of the HTC update, but buying direct from HTC should get a genuine GPS ROM.
It beats me why most of the resellers still don't list GPS as a feature (even Orange, though they include a paper insert in the box advertising their [awful] online based Navigation system)
When the P3600 was first being tested, some users reported problems with 3G reception when GPS was active. HTC disabled the GPS while they investigated, rather than delay the launch. Orange and Dopod didn't apparently have any issues hence they were earlier with the GPS ROM. Some pre-production Orange M700's were sold to the public without GPS, but Orange have replaced them on request.
I want to get the ROM updated as my GPS is slow to load and I was told that updating the ROM will sort this out.
I haven't done this before on the XDA (have on HP iPac) so I get the idea. Having reading through many posts I am totally confused as to what I should be doing.
I have downloaded and installed Artemis_USPL and I get everything in order - however it doesn't report current ROM version and doesn't update (Active Sync seem to drop connection).
All I want to do is update the ROM to the latest version.
Therefore I want to know where I can get the latest O2 Rom for WM5, and what software I should be using to make the update.
Many thanks for any help
Eddie
(BTW - I am happy with WM5, however if I can kill 2 birds with one stone and get on to an English version of WM6 I would like to do that as well!)
losing sync
got the same problem here
Have you tried waiting the screen willgo either white or black for a period.
When using USPL it doesnt alter the device data or appearance just the CID status.
If you follow the idiots guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311650
you should have no problems.
I have UK O2 Orbit and no problems at all as I said follow the guide and will work sometimes it seems to be taking ages and doing nothing but trust me for me it gets there.
o2 are doing WM6 updates - just take it to the store....
Thanks for the reply.
I did follow the idiots guide as mentioned, and having working in IT for 10 years found it simple enough to follow. Didn't change the fact that I couldn't get passed the "dropped" used connection and no update!
What I then did was ring o2 who did have a clue and then I rang the XDA (o2) dedicated service center.
The girl on the phone went and checked with the techs and rang me back to confirm they are installing WM6 on all XDA's that get sent back, and that the update is free!
With this information I went to my local o2 store who accepted the phone for software upgrade to WM6 and told me it will be back with me on Thursday of next week.
Problem sorted - let them do it......
Wishfull thinking....please check when they return the device...may have the SD Card with the flashed ROM on it hee hee hee...!

is your pc Vista by any chance
NO XP!
I did ask the service center direct - if you want to check give them a call on 01603 269901 - XDA2 warranty returns line.
Also I rang o2 twice on 0800 5874715 and on both occasions they confirmed they are supporting it from 23/27 of this month - so that all ties in nicely.
I will let you know when mine returns if it works and if they have upgraded the ROM etc.....
They are indeed upgrading all retuned devices with WM6. That is for sure.
I got my XDA Orbit Back from o2 yesterday after 6 days.
It has been updated (ROM, GSM etc) and has WM 6 Pro on it.
Sat Nav is still very slow to kick in - what else can I do to speed up the connection?

Have you ensured that QuickGPS is up to date?
Also when you run the GPS ensure u are static while it locates you.
Also overclock the Orbit slightly?
Hope this helps
