Hi all!
Great site Very helpfull!
Well I am a new MDA Vario user (previusly when I was working in HP I had hw6515, 6815,6915 and older 6340).
But this is new for me
I have one question, I have an problem with stylus, its just falling form the device, is it my problem? I dont know how to put it in device,or something is broken?
pleas help me, so I can know if my device need a service.
Best regards!
there is a catch in the hole which breaks sometimes after exessive use. has been awnsered before on the forum but your best bet im told is to put a tiny bit of blue-tac on the end of your stylus and push it up into the hole. It shouldnt fall out any more and you dont have to take the thing apart
welcome to wizard/vario ownership
Sorry I didnt find the solution , I put it as you told me, and now its ok!
Thank you for the warm welcome and answer .
About stylus, is there an better solution? can I give my vario to service, and can they repair that? My vario has an guarantee, and will this be in guarantee?
Thank you very much!
Best regards!
Well I did like in previous posts! a put a little paper in the black holes on the side of battery, now it works great
I didnt want to dissasemble the device because its in guarantee period.
thank you all!
best regards!

A horrible thing just happened today...my god damned friend dropped my universal down from 3 feet height...nothing really has happened, but the edges are bruised...a little paint chipped off at a couple places....small deformations in the contours :-(
he says....."duh....sorry"
i'm all freaked out here :-(
now.... the question
is the body/ outer shell of the universal replacable?
if yes, how much does it cost and where can I order it from?
arghhh :-(
thanks,
San
PS: if you don't have an answer, or nothing to say at all, atleast sympathize for me!!
Presumably, you mean "ex-friend" ;-)
Cheers,
Steve

dreamtheatre39, I am so sorry. I know you waited so long for your Qtek. I suggest you friend should start saving now for your birthday - perhaps a replacement?
I too am very careful with my EXEC. I want it to last forever or at least till its next Pocket PC phone upgrade. I would really hate it if my EXEC would get any scratch or defect due to handling, especially if it is not my fault. So I do understand your frustration.

Would have had to carry him out in a pine box, if it had been mine!
pine? cardboard at a push :wink:
send it back under the insurance for the device?
thanks everyone!
I guess only people who own a universal will know how valuable it is....I am over obsessed with my gadget, and have constantly been "over protective" since i've got it! I keep a "wipe" sandwiched in the clam shell al the time to prevent scratches on the keyboard and display.....I keep wiping off the dirt at 5 minute intervals thru the day!
and in the name of satan why o why is it meeee to suffer this wretched wrath :-(
Can anyone tell me if its possible to change the outer casing? Is it complicated and too difficult to do so?
Thank you all once again!
San
I think only contact with HTC or where you bought Universal to see what they can do , my PDA2K got replace by HTC.
Hi!!!
Sad to know...but I can tell u the goodthing that IT IS POSSIBLE to have a new body..Entire casing can be changed..so do not worry.As of now the stocks are not there as it is just launched officially in India...In case I get a dead one with a Good Body, will let u know...I am based in Pune....
I can relate dreamtheater.... I dont think I can trust any friend with my device without constant guidance. Even my husband has to be under my eye when he's tinkering with my dopod.
Is it still under warranty? Then maybe it can be replaced... or maybe you can always give subtle or not so subtle hints to your friend (if he is really a friend) to replace it...
Good luck
hey!
hee hee I wish i could give those *subtle* hints lol
It really is not so bad, frankly speaking....but, the freak that I am....makes me soooo damn fussy about things, and i keep looking at those tiny abrasions all the time....and cant get it off my phucking head :x
I'll just have to wait until I screw it up a little more, and by that time....I'd possibly get an outer casing so that I could slip it in some new clothes!
Until then.....
cheers and have a great new year guys (n angelika!)!

Hey DT,
That really sucks mate.
Your friend should really take responsibility for this, but i know its not the money. I know you would pay good money to have your universal back in good shape this instant...
I could have helped you if you had a Jasjar since i-mate is based in Dubai, but since you got yourself a qtek, there really isn't anything i can do. However, i do advise you talk to MMB about this as he might be able to arrange for a body from his supplier. No harm in trying!
Dont worry, it will be fine. Also, get yourself a good case like the ones from Piel Frama or a metal case from Brando
Cheers.
Gutted for you m8. Know exactly how you must feel. Been treating my new Wizard like a new born baby since christmas day and wont let anyone touch it. The wife asked to have a look at it and I just told her it was too much phone for her to handle
Im totally anal when I get a new phone and am constantly looking at it thinking it that a scratch. Im thinking of making the whole family shave their heads as head hairs dont half look like scratches from a distance.... Pubic hairs are far easier to spot though :wink:
Hope you sort yourself out m8.

hey m8! how've you been? ;-)
I wonder why I didn't think of asking mmb....I'm sending david a mail right away! He gave me excellent service while I bought it from him, hope hed do his magic once again ;-)
I spent the whole of today trying to find a case for my universal...I looked around for camera cases, waist pouches, n-gage cases.....all of them are either tooo small, or hideously bigg! Gave up....I guess its only piel frama for now :-(
got to keep humans away from my qtek until then

lol are u still allowed to stay at home?

Yes but apparently only because she feels sorry for me that I wouldnt be able to charge my Wizard living on the streets
I always liked the couch anyway :wink:
my baby
I am appalled how easy it is to get the Jasjar scratched, the metal also gets dents so easily. I need to find out the cost of a new cover, I don’t like my baby with imperfections
Three feet? That's like... 3 stories in human-height scale!
Hey, at least your screen didn't crack like http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36932 jesax's... poor guy.

3 feet indeed :-( it fell right off the table...
lucky for me, I had the cover protecting it....the one that comes with the device....I guess that took most of the impact!
If my screen had cracked....holy hell :O I don't quite know what I would have done!! I couldn't force my friend to buy me a new one, cuz....I would have killed him immediately
anyways, I've decided that i'd live with the scratches :-( considering the fact that it would take me another month and *all* the complications all over & again for me to source it! Now i'm ten times more careful....a little late though :-(
Best,
San
Hi dt,
Doing good mate, thanks.
Just be happy that the incident occurred on the 31st of last year and not the 1st of this year. Otherwise, that would have been a nasty way of starting a new year!
Any response from MMB?
Chin up mate!
like all of you I want my JAM to look as great as possible. it does not help that I'm prone to dropping it once a week. Anyone know what I need to do to get the cover replaced or where I can get the parts from.
I've done some internet searching and have come up empty.

You'll need to trim the IMEI back plate to fit but it's easy enough to do.

Hi Guys,
My friend has an iMate Jamin and I was wondering if the black metal outer casing can be replaced and where I could find resources to do this. He is getting an HTC TyTn and I may buy his Jamin but the case is in really bad condition. I hope that I can find something. If not, that I'm guessing the next best solution is a thin silicone case? I'm not sure where to go to get one of those either. I'd appreciate any replies. Thanks a lot guys!
--Trevor--
There is another forum where you can get detailed instructions on how to change the casing. http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=240109
I guess your best bet is searching on ebay for the casing.
Cheers.
I just wanted to post a big Thank You to everyone who helps on here.
Thanks to much searching and some patient people answering my questions I happily flashed my rom and was running about merrily with my Vario II running WM6.1 and it was ace.
... Till some Bar Steward stole it out of the glove box of my mates car
I am not covered under my own insurance and my mate is having problems claiming through his own... so i've stumped up my own cash and gone for the O2 XDA Serra... so i'm off to swot up on what i can do to that
Wish me luck.
And Thanks again for all the help
Wow dude, that sucks!
I know under certain policies, as long as you had the phone out of sight, they'll cover it, even moreso if the glove box was locked!
Sorry, deal with Mobile Phone claims all day everyday!

OOHHH reallyy?? have you the jack audio piece for me? I really need it, its a black piece which can be detached easily if you remove the top cover (at top of the battery) there are some guide here which explain how to take out the cover.
Hope you can do that for me...

this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742642
on the second picture, at the top, there are two screws (red circle) + one little in the middle (not surronded). If you remove those 3 screws, then you can remove the plastic cover and inside there is the speaker and the jack audio (what I need) piece with delicate pins. but if you think its more convenient to sent the whole phone thats ok too
I live in Italy .
I only need the little gps cable that connects the motherboard to the gps antenna

You have to belive there are really great improvements in signal stability and reception,i can say about 70%.I ve read in a italian forum that someone asked acer about this mod,and after some mails someone at the acer assistance asked their engineers to test this mod;they confirmed the improvement,and even that this mod maybe doesn t void the warranty,because you have not to open the phone.Finally they said they would report about this to acer Europe to have final confirmation.After this mail no new reply.Maybe Acer won t admit fault

well netnerd , believe me or not, but gps signal after mod DOES indeed improve a lot. Anyway Arto's not referring to that mod guide.
Arto, if I find I can't fix my problem , I will be happy to give you my device.
Netnerd, if you don't use it, you could send-sell the device to me or Arto, after that we could share the pieces needed. Unfortunately I live in Europe.

i removed all the screws, i still can not open it to get the parts you guys needed. want the whole phone? i only charging shipping cost (13.50 USD to italy). phone comes with battery!
if you or arto want to pay the shipping cost, email me!
well....that would be AWESOME !!
The only thing's that Italy has some restrictions about vat, well anyway the tax' calculated only on the assured price so I should be ok.
Well, After that I could send the piece to Arto .
Well Netnerd....that would be really awesome, thanks.
Netnerd, have you got any news?
I've sent you a PM
