Sent my MDA Pro due to 1) dead pixel 2) cracking sound when the screen is turned 3) directional key on the screen failure
and was given back with a new MDA.
It was flashed with the latest update from T-Mobile (compared to lilliput's original t-mobile one ).
So, I think T-Mobile will relaese the update to public soon.
Not sure how soon, but if you can't wait, just sent yours to repair center for any of the 1-3 problems .
nice ... can you post ROM, Radio end ExtRom versions ?
Also please post the version numbers of the ROM, Radio and Ext. Rom
There is a rom update coming this month (I've been reliably informed by someone at work). But if we can get a rom dump before then it would be even better.
Does the new rom include the Pocket MSN features from the Jasjar version?
Hi
Please tell all!!
- Is MSN messenger included this time
- Whats the version numbers of each rom?
- Anything noticably changed?
There's nought wrong with mine, and I reckon when you've got a goodun you'd best keep it. Replacement might have dead pixels etc!
Anyone know where abouts the updates will appear? What its t-mobiles updates url?
Nigel
Anyone know where-abouts UK updates for the MDA pro will appear. I found the following, but the url is a little odd:
http://www.iris-global.com/t_mobile_download/index.html ??

Hmmmmm Well I havent experienced any of the problems that have been mentioned the only problem I have had is the signal being undiscoverable. Its an intermittent problem that fixes itself once it decides it has had enough soft resets - or a hard reset makes it real happy!
Been waiting for this git for AGES :-

RUU_Prodigy_2210206_22102109_021911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe
I'm going to install it later on tonight !!!!!!!!!!!!
ahh thats good......
I was disappointed that my ROM rip didn't achieve what I had hoped, but now you get the full monty!!
Cool. Any idea's what been tweaked, added, fixed etc?
Anyone tried this yet? Any perfomance boosts?
Also, does anyone have any links to any more info on the update?
this is a silly question, but i keep getting confused. Are the "vario" devices the same as the "MDA" in the US? i have the US T-Mobile "MDA" but not sure if it is a VARIO or VARIO PRO, I, II, etc.
i'd like to download the official tmo rom for my device with msfp but so far i can't find it, so i'm just using one of the custom roms for now.
second question, the http://t-mobile.iris-global.com website, is there an equivalent US website?
thanks.
man did a hard reset last night, will have to do one tonight too!!! well soods law!!!
well, just done mine, and the first thing it noticed is that the battery icon in teh top right is now green, where as it was white like the otehr icons. Any idea how to change it back, it looks ugly!
why am i still seeing
RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe?
very strange, even when i click download its the above file.
im not to bothered really anyway, im happy with the Mr Clean 2.3 rom for the moment!

Just got off the phone with T-mobile US tech support and the answer is NO. The update is only for UK and German T-mobile users. T-mobile US will NOT support the update. However, the tech told me they are testing the new OS update for US, but there isn't a release date set as yet.
BTW the MDA in US is called MDA II or HTC or I-mate something...
I have just upgraded to the new ROM and the other problem I've found so far is that the camera seems to ignore the 'night' mode now and just treats it like 'auto' mode, i.e. pictures taken indoors are practically black.
DAMN and still no support for AKU2 BB Connect..........wtf
does anyone know why they have pulled the update and has anyone downloaded it and can put the file on the FTP? email if you do [email protected]
Edit : Just came back on

There actually will be a BB Connect update, but not before end of july 2006
if i do this update will i be able to restore my settings etc. from an SBP backup or will i have to set everything up again by hand?
also is the sound quality in calls any better with this update?
cheers.
i think something is different cus i did that and it did not like it, so have to start from the start again
Is this the AKU2 update?

If anyone can suggest a fix for this problem I'd very much appreciate it. It's like it's ignoring whatever exposure settings it has :?
@bryanparke: as a wiseman once said, the only silly question is the one not asked!
The T-mobile US MDA is indeed the equivalent of the european MDA Vario.
They are both based on the wizard design by HTC.
@everyone else: Now that t-mobile have released the AKU2 rom, lets see how much they charge for the privilege of using it. Lets Hope it's cheaper than orange!

Huh ... it's a free download.
not the download, the service - orange have set their roms so the push email goes through another APN so they can charge you extra for the privilege of push email!
I don't see how they can differentiate however the only thing I can think of is if you were to be using orange e-mail ... if you have access to an exchange 2003 sp2 server (or online equivalent) then wouldn't it just be a gprs connection.
I try to use the Trinity as bluetooth-modem with my laptop.
I have paired the device successfully, but only "Voice Gateway" and "Network Access Point" are shown as bluetooth-profiles.
No "Dial-Up" Profile.
Does anybody have the same problem?
Any solution?
THanks!
As far as I read the manual there must be a control applet for modem functionallity.
Look in settings/system or settings/connection for something called "modem".
When and where did you get your P3600 ??
Seems that you are the first one in this forum who has a P3600 in hands !!
I bought it at handit.de and got it last week already! I really love the new toy!
I found the solution now. There is no more DUN-Profile in the new AKU3. Instead you have to dial in with the Bluetooth-PAN (Personal-Area-Network).
You now have to launch a application on the device and then manually connect the client to the PDA via bluetooth. I think the DUN-Profile was much easier because you did not need to touch the pda...
However it works now!
Just read an article on AKU3 and read also about the new "Internet Sharing" program which I wanted to let you know. But you've solved the problem already.
Can imagine you're happy with your new toy. I thought the first country in Europe where the P3600 was available was Portugal. But it seems to be introduced then in Germany about the same day as in Portugal.
Hope it won't take too long before it's available also here in Holland.
Enjoy and good luck!!

Can you please let us know if it is true that with AKU3 you can choose the language at first boot? I am asking because, as usual, price at expansys is much higher than handit.de but it seems they only sell the german version.
No, you can not change the language!
Hi all,
I would be buying a HTC P3600 in Dubai soon. The HTC site and the dealers here say that the trinity does not have a GPS.
Have read on this forum that having GPS is just a ROM update away. Having said that, how difficult (or easy) is it to flash the phone considering that I am an abject novice with PPC?
I would also love to have WM6 (with GPS ofcourse) on my phone. I know there is a ROM floating around this forum.
Here in Dubai we are not bound to any service providers so I will be buying an unlocked phone, so will the updated ROM work in my case?
Looking forward to the replies and do keep up the excellent work. This forum is one of the driving factors behind my decision to buy an HTC phone.
Warm regards,
Hiren

Great, now I look forward to buying the phone. Will keep the forum posted on my progress or lack of it .
I confirm there's no problem at all, even for non experts like me.
Just download the new rom from HTC site (50 MB), connect the P3600 , run the downloaded file and wait 10 minutes.
The only advise is to do a back-up of your P3600, as the upgrade will cancell everything.

This is sounding great. Thanks for the help mate.

If you buy a new Trinity/P3600 now, it may well come with GPS enabled anyway.
When you get it, tap Start/Settings, then the System tab (bottom of the settings screen) and then tap Device Information.
The 1st tab in Devcie Info is 'Version' and has a list of the ROM versions installed. Look at the Radio Version: if it ends in **.11, the GPS is already enabled. HTC's current ROM is 1.38.00.11, but ROM's from 1.30.00.11 were GPS enabled. If yours ends in **.10, then you need to update the Radio ROM.
Before going any further, and changing to WM6, which is still 'unofficial' and invalidates your warranty, I'd suggest getting familiar with the device and the OS. The differences between later versions of WM5 and WM6 are minimal!

Managed to check out the ROM of the Trinity's available in Dubai, its ending with .11, so that means its a GPS enabled one.
Now only if I had an idea about the other phones issues, I'd go out and buy one.

Any particualr issues that are bothering you?

2 of 'em actually. One is the motherboard and the other is the flaking paints.
I don't have long nails but I did try scratching the phone at the store but the paint did not chip off.
My heart is still set on this phone though. I will soon be going back to India (another couple of months) and I'm not sure whether 2 months are enough to get the issues fixed. The other alternative would be to wait for the Kaiser but time frame is still unknown.

For what concerns the paint, buy it white, it is not as beautiful as the black one, but at least it does not have this problem

Yeah, thats an option but only as a last resort.
Hi guys its been 3months now since I bought this device called Orange SPV 3100[HTC Hermes]. Since then my struggle to keep it working all the time started. I love installing apps/games & moreover the educative apps the most. I never tried to tweak much with my device as I never had time to do this. I am using SKTools retail to keep my device healthy. But I don't know after such a short period of time I am feeling so irritated with this device, I am using WM5 official ROM of Orange. Its been 4 times in the entire period that I hard reset my device to set it right but again after 1 week I don't know what happens with it,that it always starts giving me one or other problems like- short battery life, hang[most of the time I have to soft reset my device,normally 20 times a day] I do some important work of mine & the next time it stops working as if there is something very heavy going on inside the RAM. Now after 4th hard reset I tried to set everything right but of no avail, I tried using task switcher of different brands in order to have some sort of task management, but again this stupid device not allowing any of these task managers to work. What should I do avoid such hangups, crashes, less battery life? What is the answer? does it lies somewhere in changing the device or changing the OS to WM6 as been claimed by many. I need Your reply seniors I really bought this device to be a part of Forum.Xda-developers family, but now I am so sad with my experience that sometimes I regret my decision of buying a PPC device when I have lot of important works to do[I am an attorney] Seniors, technicians I Urge You to look in to this matter as an urgency otherwise it will be a last week of this device with me.
"This device is suppose to help me & not the vice versa"

I think I can feel your pain. I had a Dopod 838 pro (aka Hermes).
But you've already mentioned the source of your problem: you're still using WM5 on your Hermes (???). Even now, there are still people who have not flashed the latest official WM6 ROMS?
Why don't you download the official ROM from the HTC or dopod website and take the time to flash it to your device...
I flashed mine, and the number of times I had to soft-reset the device in a week I can count on three fingers. (of course, I will soft-reset everytime I do a backup, but never mind that). It turned out to be the BEST phone/PDA I have ever had in over 10 years.
The ONLY reason I switched to TyTN II Kaiser is coz I found I needed more RAM for applications (due to my work. I'm an FX trader and part-time real estate speculator). Otherwise, for normal usage (PIMs, contact management, Internet, messaging, phonecalls), I think I would have stuck with the Dopod for a very long time..
The only tweakers I used were SKTools and Memmaid (I'm still using them). You say you never tried to tweak coz you don't have the time? I'm afraid you better find the time, friend. One Saturday evening is all you need to go thru the settings.
For me, I think it's worth the trouble, considering what the Hermes is capable of helping me to do.
As a starting point, you can go back to your vendor who should be knowledgeable enough to assist with the tweaks. Or you can try browsing thru my bookmarks here:

Unfortunately his provider (Orange) has yet to publish a WM6 Rom for his device...
Does that matter? Take a trip to the Hermes Mobile 6 forum...
So friends, the answer lies in WM6? Can I use the WM6 posted here in the upgrading section in my Orange SPV 3100? No seniors here, I don't expect this from Forum.xda developers seniors. Plz seniors this could be last time I am posting here in this forum if no help will come through. Help me seniors..

Hmm... is the device locked to Orange? Locked phones can't use the official "generic" ROM from the Dopod/HTC website?
Hope y'all will excuse my ignorance in this. My old Dopod 838 pro wasn't locked to Maxis (my provider). I downloaded my SEA-version WM6 upgrade from the HTC website. (surely there is an Indian version?)
Guys I just installed Black Magic WM6 few days back with radio version 1.40. I am very happy now with my cellphone. Really there is a lot of change in WM5 & WM6, which I couldn't fathom. Thanx everybody for Your support. I would suggest anybody facing such problems to plz upgrade their machine. Highly recommended with mrvanx.org help guide. Guys can You plz help me in finding the right version of radio. I mean I am using 1.40 is there any new version for my HTC TyTn device. it would be great...
Here you go - all the extracted Radio ROMs available for Hermes available for download. Read their respective threads if you want to know about their issues/performance.
I couldn't imagine using WM5 ever again. It would be like reverting back to dial up.
