UAE: Best Radio version?

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who posts to this forum - I've been reading it for a month or so now and am constantly impressed with the quality of the knowledge here, especially the developers...
I have a QTEK 1010 bought here in Dubai, UAE, with the following device info:
ROM version: 4.00.01 ENG
ROM date: 05/16/03
Radio version: 3.23.01
Protocol version: 32S54
I have found that browsing using IE feels slower, and have the feeling that this version of the ROM does not work well with the radio version. Does anyone reading this forum live in the UAE? I'd like to upgrade the Radio, but need to know which version works best with Etisalat (our Telco).
Any comments much appreciated!
Thanks, Doms...
P.S. I'm going to upgrade the ROM to 4.00.05 when I get the opportunity

hi, i am from dubai and i am using 4.00.1 from t-mobile and 4.21 from o2, so far everything fine just when i reset the t-mobile logo appears.
do you have bluetooth option in that version and your version was already installed or you upgraded yourself?

Use the o2 Radio Version 4.21 it will work fine...

Thanks for the responses guys. Does this new radio version provide any benefits over the one I have?

1) The QTEK does not support Bluetooth, and there is no way to make it work on a QTEK either.
2) There is no Bluetooth option in any of my menus or settings (I would expect this as my device does not support Bluetooth). Windows PPC2003 is supposed to be able to support Bluetooth, however: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/products/pocketpc/about/2003/bluetooth.mspx
3) I upgraded to the 4.00.05 version of Windows PPC2003 myself using Jeff's ROM Kitchen (thanks Jeff!) http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/

Hi, Once i had 4.00.01 and in connection setting i had Bluetooth option but ofcourse it was not working, the other thing is do you know any camera work with SD port of Qtek? i mean something availble in the market.
4.21 is more stable i think.
cheers,

I had some problems when making calls on my QTEK yesterday. While in a voice conversation audible clicking noises can be heard and after about 1 minute of conversation the quality of the call deteriorates until the other party cannot hear me. I'll try upgrading the radio...
I don't know about the camera support using the SD slot in the QTEK. My first instinct would be to say no, it's not possible, but I can't confirm that...

I bought a Qtek 1010 in Dubai Duty Free the other week. I've since upgraded the ROM using ROMkitchen and am delighted with it. One thing I did notice though is that the speakerphone functionality (claimed in the Qtek handbook) doesn't seem to work. I didn't try it before I upgraded so can someone tell me if it works with the native UAE ROM code, and if so does anyone have any idea how I could get it working again?

I own a QTEK in the UAE and here is my share to those asking about OS and Radio updates here:
I upgraded from
ROM version: SER 1.2
Radio version: 3.23.01
To
ROM version: 4.00.10 ENG (T.Mobile Test)
Radio version: 4.21.00 (O2 UK)
Everyting seems to work fine apart from 2 minor issues so far:
Make sure you set your band to 900Europe as the default is 1900North America in phone/tools/options
The signal fades out sometimes but doznt affect the reception
No G signal but GPRS is OK.
GPRS stays connected; have to turn phone off and on to disconnect.
Advice:
Read a lot before you upgrade. This forum has a wealth of information.

Succesful unlock of 3.17.03 // 4.01 using usb...

Dear All
Thanks to those of you who have helped me with advice over the last few days. I have just successfully unlocked my xda in the following manner:
- upgraded from rom 3.02.00 to 3.17.03 via O2's website (because you can do this using usb and I don't have a serial)
- installed xdaunlock.exe on the pda
- hey presto - seems to be working fine (on Orange in Denmark)
I now have the final dilemma of whether to upgrade the radiostack from 4.01 to 4.21 (didn't do this previous to running xdaunlock.exe as I'd read in a couple of threads that 4.21 disables the unlock mechanism). So I have a final question to you all about what I will get out of upgrading from 4.01 to 4.21?...
Thanks in advance,
Tim
P.S. It's not possible to search for numbers through the threads of the forum - it would be a great help if this were enabled... :wink:

Since I upgraded the stack I think I am getting slightly better signal bars on the screen but I dont think my signal is any better in reality, others may have a different experience, also I seem to have developed an echo since upgrading the stack, I dont hear it but the person I am talking to does.

Upgrading Radio

I am currently running radio version 1.46.30.11. I have always had problems with calls not coming through to my phone or outgoing calls connecting and texts getting delayed, if I use another phone these problems disappear so I know its this handset.
I am wondering if upgrading the radio version would help? IO have had a search around on the trinity forums and there doesn't seem to be a lot of chat about it. How do I go about upgrading? Do I have to flash my phone with a ROM which has the newer radio contained?
Its originally an Orange SPV M700 which was running official ROMs until I took the plunge and put Mary on a few days ago but the problems still occur.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

normaly a radio upgrade is just like a normal upgrade
if the radio nbf is present it's inlcuded if not it's not
if the only nbf present is the radio one only the radio is upgraded

Do you think upgrading the radio ROM would help? Do you know where I can find just the radio ROM for version 1.50.08.11?
Thanks for the help.

HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) + Parrot CK 3000 Evolution

Hello, i've been serarching in the forum abou a cuestion for serveral days, but i can´t find any solution to my problem ....
I have the standard rom in my HTC Polaris: 1.25.412.1 ESN
and a Parrot Evol 5.05A (Hands free car kit).
My problem is that the blueetooth discconect and then reconnect serveral times in a few minutes, and sometime when i recive a call, i can´t hear in the car kit.
Is there any patch, upgrade, application or rom that can help me ???
Thanks a lot.

Check if you have the latest firmware on your hands free and flash it if it's necessary.

Last firmware
No, I have no the last version of firmware ...
I have 5.05A and the las is the 5.10C, but Parrot says tha the 5.10C don´t add phone compatibilty ...
I have to pay for upgrade the firmware, for this reason I would like to know if other person has the same combination and it works.
Thanks anyway.

I have not this problem with my CK3000 and my HTC Cruise.
I can confirm you on next sunday (31th march) which firmware I have (my car is at the garage)
The only problem that I have with my CK3000 and my HTC Cruise is that I can not set the volume and the sound is too loud.

Differents Parrots
Hi again,
Sorry I didn`t type before, but my parrot is a CK 3000 "Evolution", I belive that is different from CK 3000. Your parrot probably has an 3.xx version of firmware, you can view it at your HTC in bluetooth conections ..., the name of the conection surely it was "Parrot " and the version of firmware ....
Thanks

Hi
I had the same trouble when I buy my touch cruise with
my CK3000 Evolution (5.05A).
I had the original rom radio of the polaris.
But since I had flash my rom radio with the 1.70 Olinex (sim unlock)
that's works fine.
Why ??? I don't kwnon.
Try it and tell us.

Firmware CK3000
Hi,
When I go to my bluetooth settings, I can read "Parrot v5.08c"

Wrong, I still have trouble, but less trouble one time in 3 day !!!
Grrrrrrr
Going to test the last radio rom to see !

Try to turn discoverable mode on. I had the same issues until I did it. Pls note that SPB Phone suite disables it again.

I use Touch Cruise + Parrot CK 3000 Evolution ...
it work good, no problem

I have flashed my cruise with lastest radio rom, i will test.
I will test with discoverable mode on also.
Thanks for your help !
