Hello
I have posted this on the Artemis board, but got no reply.....
I have an O2 XDA Orbit that uses Push Email and exchange server syncing. Recently I have noticed that if I turn flight mode on at night and then off in the morning, it requires a soft reset to get the system to sync my email and calendar via GPRS. Up to a month ago this was not an issue and it has manifested itself on both WM5 and WM6. The server is running on 2003, but was upgraded to 2007 (at which point all fell down!!). Server was rebuilt with original 2003 settings and it works, but I get this niggly problem in the mornings when trying to sync on my way into work. Reception is good, but the GPRS will not open a session until the phone has been reset.
The following information is taken from the device:
ROM version - 3.4.206.2 WWE
ROM Date - 18/4/2007
Radio Version - 02.67.90
Protocol Version - 4.1.13.28
ExtROM Version - 3.4.206.101
The irritation with the WiFi is that the option to close a WiFi session from the top bar on the screen has been removed and now you need to go into the Comms Manager to close a session.....anyone worked out a way of retrieving the old functionality?
Regards

This site is great, its helped me a lot. But right now I am having trouble with Wmodem. I have set everything up and my PC & XDAI (using IrDA) are communicating fine, using the steps from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=2816&highlight=irda
But when I push the start button the connection between the two devices is made, but the signal icon or the GPRS icon (if it is on) disapears and dosn't come back. The signal icon comes back only after I stop Wmodem. So I am unable to connect to GRPS. What is going on here???
Device info.:
ROM version: 3.17.03 (XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2)
ROM date: 05/15/03
Radio version: 6.18.00
Protocal version: 324.e4
If you need any more info, please let me know. Thanx!!!
I was under the impression WModem only allows connection via Analogue CSD (ie. GSM). I don't think you can currently use the XDA as a GPRS modem.
Thank you, but I am pretty sure that you can use Wmodem with GPRS. As the thread I got the directions from stated it was for GPRS.
I am wondering if a different ROM would make it work???
Have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=2579&highlight=wmodem+gprs and this PDF from O2 which says GSM only http://www.sourceo2.com/NR/rdonlyre...e3iadmr2qr6kna/CTS1299-1+Setup+Xda+Modem.PDF
Thank you for those two threads. But Carlos I think said it best "use another phone". At least then I can try the PPC 2003 ROM.
The XDA2 (don't know about the XDA) disconnects the voice side of your connection to your supplier, while keeping your GPRS connection open. This means GPRS works, but you can't use the phone, SMS or anything else.
When you close WirelessModem, the normal service is restored, with full phone functionality.
On the XDA2, you can see this happening in the connectivity icon at the top of the screen. When Wmodem is started, the signal strength indicator is replaced with an X, but the GPRS icon (two arrows pointing horizontally away from each other) remains.
Hope this helps.
sublimatica - Thanks for the help, you are right about the icon and not being able to see it. I did finally get it to work, after pressing dial on my PC then turning starting Wmodem (w/ old cooked 3.17.03 ROM). But I will be looking for a phone with modem capabilities, as Wmodem is way too slow & unreliable for me.
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has encountered a similar problem.
I have purchased a SanDisk WiFi card so I can be properly mobile around the house (I ActiveSync with WiFi, browse the net and remote admin my network and servers from my XDA II) and up until now has been working a treat (if a little power hungry).
I noticed yesterday that the SanDisk WiFi was not being detected by my XDA II when I inserted it, the only way to recognise it is to reboot the XDA II which will then recognise it and active the WiFi.
I wanted to sync with my Exchange Server so I went through the usual routine of inserting the WiFi card, noticed it the XDA II did not pick up the card so rebooted (soft reset) the XDA II which then proceeded to connect to the Acitve Directory network and sync with the Exchange 2003 box. While it was synching in the background I decided to take a look at my schedule and hit the Start button however the XDA II slowed right down, the Start button appeared and froze and then in an instant the XDA II had hard reset itself displaying the Welcome to Windows Mobile 2003 setup screen... WTF?!
I have never seen this before, good thing I had backed up device so I only lost two days of work but it's a little scary to say the least (I am now taking backups daily). I am not sure if its to do with the WiFi card (the fact that its not being recognised when hot plugging into the SD slot) or with the apps that are installed on my XDA II.
My current config is as follows:
Windows 2003 Mobile Premium Phone Edition
O2 Active User Interface (I kept this as I use O2 for my phone)
SPB Plus 2.01 (Today Plugin removed as it crashes the XDA II)
Pocket Informant 5.2
Microsoft Voice Commander
Pocket Weather (freeware weather app for the today screen)
Bluetooth Profile removed from the Today Screen
ROM Version: 1.72.00WWE
ROM date: 03/15/04
Radio version: 1.17.00
Protocol version: 1337.28
ExtROM version: 1.72.181
Cheers,
Taz
Well I don't have to worry about crashes any more, I cooked my own Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition ROM using DCS & Mysteryman's files and now everything is working perfectly about 10 times faster than before
I have wrote an eVB application which transmits data over GPRS that works fine on a Pocket PC 2002 device and on the XDA II (Pocket PC 2003) with eVB Runtimes installed. However, once an incoming call is answered on the XDA II the GPRS connection can not be re-established. This is handled at present by the eVB application "warm booting" the device after a set number of minutes of no GPRS connection.
Am I correct in thinking that the GPRS connection can not be established because the modem needs to be reset and if so how is this done programmatically as the eVB application runs in full screen mode so the user can not reset the modem by switching in and out of flight mode.
Thanks
Tony Hudson
From my experience it might not be the case.
I usually run PocketIRC and MSN Messenger on my XDA-II through GPRS. Once incoming call came in GPRS got disconnected (this is normal I guess). But GPRS will reconnected itself immediately after I hang up the phone and continue using these 2 apps without soft-reset or even turn on and off flight mode.
The interesting part is if the call didn't last long only MSN Messenger got disconnected but PocketIRC still connected and I can continued using it from old session! (but if the call last too long I will get Ping timeout error as usual)
If my memory serve me right I remember that radio stack version play some part in this GPRS problem. You might tried different radio stack (I'm using 1.18 version). And it might came down to different service provider GPRS configuration.
Upgraded XDA II firmware to ROM version 1.72.00WWE, Radio version 1.17.00, Protocol version 1337.28 and Ext ROM version 1.72.181.
No difference in the outcome to my problem. Any SDK's for these devices or activex components for manipulation of radio modem?
Thanks.
I have determined that I can reset the radio/modem by using the extended TAPI function lineSetEquipmentState. However I do not want to reset the modem if the user of the device is in the middle of a telephone conversation. Can this telephone call status be detected using the extended TAPI for the state/class change messages of the radio/equipment/GPRS?
I have nearly the same Problem.
Did you found a solution?
I want to know too!!!
We have 3 Jams configured identically. One can synch over GPRS with our Exchange Server. the other 2 cannot.
the only difference I can identify is that the unit that can sync on GPRS has ExtROM version 103.140 WWE wereas the units that cannot have a different ExtROM version, 103.163 WWE. the units that cannot synch over GPRS can sync fine when cradled or over local WiFi (ie when Exchange Server is local to the network.) the ROM version is the same for all: 1.03.00WWE.
I have searched net forums includiong the ones on this site, Club i-Mate and spent many hours trying. (I have configure many a PDA before). Before I return the units to Expansys (and probably go for XDA II mini from O2)- has anyone experienced or solved this problem?
Is it possible/asdivable to downgrade to ExtROM version 103.140? and where does one find the file? Any help would be very much appreciated.

do you have an ssl cetificate on your exchange server? Maybe you need to set the phones to disable cerificate checking and then i think it will work.
I have a Cingular 8125 (upgraded to ROM 2.17.7.2 WWE, radio version 02.07.10, protocol version 413.1.03). Starting last night, it started connecting to my Mail2Web account and wirelessly activesyncing. Every time I turn the radio on, it tries to sync, but it takes FOREVER and bogs down the device to the point of being unable to use it. Does anybody have any suggestions so I can actually use my phone? Thanks all!
