I've got my GPRS always on running MSN Messenger, which should also keep TCP/IP running. Lasts at least a day if it is mostly in standby and the reception is good.

Re: On the T-Mobile sites in Germany
I tried to upgrade with the MDAiii Blackberry s/w fromt-mobile.
I first got a country id error that I worked around
Then got a device data error that I again worked around ut thi sgave me error: 116 general error so I had to give up.
Need some more help on this one.

I got this from HTC directly:
"The new product with Blackberry Connect S/W will lunch to the market later. Due to contracts with our customers, we can't to disclose further information and details. As soon as product launch to market, you will find more info on that for sure."
So it looks like we need to wait!

Interesting posting. I am also VERY VERY interested in using BB for my MDAc. Are there any news regarding the "right" .exe which will run with our "Baby"? At the T-Mobile page are too much that I really don't know how to handle the right one. Maybe any User Guide available, please?

Very interesting
Very very interesting....
But I have a look at the t-mobile link and I couldn't see any mention of blackberry in that new rom - is it there?

I too eagerly await the arrival of BB connect for the Jam. I hate swapping my sim card back and forth between the JAM and Blackberry.

Any news or progress on this? I'd also like to install Blackberry Connect on my Magician.

I'm a little confused with Blackberry. I know it's concept as I used to sell it very briefly for Vodafone. If I set my Pocket Outlook to check for mail every 3 minutes and keep my GPRS on, what is the advantage of Blackberry besides saving me 2 and a half minutes of waiting for my e-mail?

the battery of blackberries last at least 10 times longer with gprs on whole day etc

BB Connect for Magician
Yes it is going to be finally out, most of the parties have already reached an agreement with RIM and Nokia would be launching BB Connect for their N9300 and N9500 later this month. From what I understand, BB connect for magician is currently undergoing testing by the telcos in Singapore.
FYI, the current BB connect that we are testing in Singapore is currently very secure as there is a global system wipe which can be sent via sms to your device to hardreset unit just in case it is lost.

o2techie, that is great news! Please keep us informed once an install is available.

Hi folks,
i found on a T-mobile Site in Austria the following Software for the magician: the long awaited blackberry connect software update
http://www.t-mobile.at//business/mobiles_arbeiten/download/bbconnect/index.html
Now I have the following question: Does this software work also for the German verison. I am unable to ask T-Mobile Germany, since I do not have an T-Mobile phone number.
Thanks for your help.

What benefit would Blackberry provide, except for the push email concept we already got through the latest Exchange server update?

The long awaited answer, at least for me is yes, Yes YES! it works!!! BUT there are a few drawbacks. Read the rest of the post before downloading the software.
Firstly the website warns very specifically to download only the German update for germany and the austrian update for austrian mdac's. otherwise the compact could break and they probably wouldn't refund.
As far as I know it only works on the t-mobile system, i have no idea about Vodafone or O²
The compact gets a new rom:
Rom Version now is 1.13.01 GER and ROM date is 08/18/05
ExtRom becomes 1.13.130.
Installing the client software is easy setting it up not quite so easy, (at least for me). The Blackberry (BB) Client software then gives the compact its own blackberry id which you have to register at www.instantemail.t-mobile.de. - Again this only works for the German T-mobile system (as its a german website).
Also don't forget to have the blackberry push service set up for you by t-mobile. I messed around with this for a week before getting it to work properly. The T-mobile support couldn't help because the software has not been released here yet.
I am so pleased that this works. I, like alot of others, have been waiting for this since the beginning of the year. Finally the Compact is the all round machine that it was meant to be.

I think people want this cos it's the only thing some other people have over us magician owners. Honestly I can't see how it would be any improvement.
What's annoying me, though, is that Vodafone Australia have stopped charging their GPRS by the kb and are now charging $1 every 5 minutes you're online! I guess this is better for all the kiddies downloading new games and stuff to their nokias but it means I can't automatically check for e-mails every 3 mins like I was.
When I rang them, they tried to sell me a blackberry handset and put me on their blackberry data+calls plan which isn't available for smart phone users. I told them to shove it cos my phone's heaps better than a blackberry and then asked them when they were bringing in the service for PDA/Smartphone users like Vodafone Germany's website has.
I swear, if I could see the girl at the other end of the phone line she would've had the most stupid, blank, glazed over look on her face! She had no idea!

there is already also an bb update on the german t-mobile site, i found it yesterday night surfing trhough the T-Mobile Site: http://www.t-mobile.de/business/blackberry/software
have fun...

Co Pilot 6

Does anybody here use Co-Pilot 6 with the Exec, if you do comments would good on, installation, use etc

CoPilot 6
I would tell you if only ALK would provide the upgrade. They have been offering the upgrade since October 21 but all attempts to take advantage of the offer have been met with silence or an auto responder welcoming you to a customer support queue!
I am beginning to assume that there are no real people at ALK Europe.
Any suggestions for alternative software from a company that likes its customers?

Thats strange, I have emailed there customer support a couple of times and they replied very promptly unlike NAVMAN and TOM TOM who never bothered to reply. That's one one of the main reason why I'm interested in the Co-pilot because there customer support appeared better. Now you've got me thinking.

actually where did you bought it from ?
I cannot find any seller right now ? Seems that they will fit me best because of the eastern maps.

I'll let you know
I've been using Copilot since vedrsion 4. It's always proven to be a great and dependable product for me. I have ordered version 6 which seems like a perfect fit for the Universal. According to the e-mail I received, version 6 is supposed to ship tomorrow, so I will let you know next week how it works.
PanaBax

Hang tight!
Co-Pilot 6 will be available from T-Mobile UK real soon!
I am waiting for a copy myself.
Just trying to get some inside info!

co pilot6 and T mobile

It is advertised on the Co-Pilot web site that T-Mobile is a seller, I guess the operator you spoke didn't realise. Would not be the first time the customer service people didn't know what the company there work for sells.
Have you spoken with ALK

copillot 6 and t mobile
Here the answer fromAlk :
Thank you kindly for your mail. As of today T-Mobile has started offering the MDA Pro with CoPilot Live 6 as a tight bundle. They unfortunately do not sell the CoPilot Live 6 software alone, so if you specifically require this part I suggest selecting an authorised reseller from ALK’s published list at http://www.alk.eu.com/buynow/buy_authoriseddealers.asp. Please let me know if you have additional questions.

On its way
I got a notification that Copilot 6 shipped to me today. I chose ground service, so it won't be here until Friday. I will give you an update then.
PanaBax

I have heard that Co-pilot 6 should be available in stores as of Wednesday! But unfortunately only as a packaged deal with the MDA Pro.
Should be picking my copy up on Wednesday.

What map version did you get Just the UK or UK and Europe??? and where did you buy from???

Well bit of a long story but - I am getting it for free!
I bought the MDA3 about three months ago and had problems with it within the first 28 days of me having it, when I tried to exchange it in store they didn't have any in stock and T-Mobile were dis-continuing them, so I waited and waited until the PRO came out and because CO-Pilot 5 isnt compatible with the Pro then they have to honour that to be exchanged too!
I would expect it to be UK and Europe as my copy of 5 was UK and Europe and the live version too!
I'll let you know how it goes when I pick it up later!

Ok Picked it up!
First strange thing I noticed was that they have packaged Co-Pilot 6 in a Co-Pilot 5 box ( a bit strange ).
Receive the usual annoying Welcome to Co-Pilot intro.
Seems to work fine in landscape mode.
Switching screens when selecting a button is pretty fast.
Connects to BT GPS OK
Whilst changing POI's application froze ( soft reset required )
Started demo - sound didn't work at first but works after soft reset.
Volume switching OK
3D view smooth
Zoom mode IN/OUT OK
Earphones works OK
Unable to connect to LIVE No Modem at above number when trying to connect via GPRS/3G
Same issue as above with traffic update
MAYBE CAUSED by the demo? will test later when in vehicle
POI's now working
Big finger buttons great!
Quits nice and quick!
Well thats all I got time for at the moment!
Will update as I test!

Copilot 6 has two seperate installations, WM 2003 and WM 5.0. The VGA looks great. Landscape works great. The big buttons are a real plus. It allows you to use the thing without the stylus. I tried to install with the text to speach, and it works, but I hate it, just like I hated the prior versions TTS. I will reinstall with prerecorded promts.
The bluetooth setup was simple and worked flawlessly. I've only had a short time to test it, but so far, I am very satisfied.

Great information guys, interesting point about WM 2003 and 2005, do think it will work on the XDA II as well. BTW what BT device are you using

new o2 update look

anybody been o2 site, new look and I think new updates. But I cannot download them???

hmm dun think its an update. i just went to the site and didnt see any new new ROMs.

On the applications page it makes a direct reference to push emails... This is only in the latest rom's so they must be planning a release soon surely? Otherwise why mention it?
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaExecApps.aspx

The very last phrase say:
The upgraded software for Microsoft Windows Mobile® allowing push email is coming soon.
(complitly scroll down, you'll see it)
;-)

what the heck is push e-mail anyway?
What other updates do you recon we can expect from O2?

push email makes pocket outlook work in a similar manner to blackberry devices, where email is "delivered" to your pda.
Aside from that we'll probably get nothing more than is already available in the latest rom's from other suppliers, though we can always hope for stereo bluetooth

i was hoping for the Wifi being fixed so its not like a 56k modem.
Oh well.....
JAmes

web page lovely. still no ******g Rom update. o2 are slack.
Customer service is crap.
IT people at o2 know nothing.
No a2dp in next rom.
10 times more expensive on unlimted data than Tmobile. 75quid vs 7.50. no wonder they can afford such a swanky new web site.
o2 are ***k. I'm off to tmobile in 34 days and counting.

34 day and counting
Good luck CRJL, still got 15 months left on mine contract. sign up to 02 and flipping T-mobile came out with web and walk. oh well i just keep paying.

Unlucky, I've not had many problems that cant be fixed by browsing on here, but i'm not using the mobile-internet stuff at all and are getting it on o2 employee cash cause of my girlfriend, but they do hold back on Rom and Radio updates to the general public and the product itself still feels like its beta hardware with so many of them failing, thought I was due a 3rd one there for a bit but the bug went away.

Guys, just to let you know (unless you've figured this out/posted it above and I did not spot it):
Go to the Software upgrade page of any device:
e.g http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaExecSoftware.aspx
And then add 'download' to access the Updates:
i.e http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaExecSoftwareDownload.aspx
Such a sly... no IMEI needed
Hope that helps
Cya

Looks like they have spotted this one.... it doesn't work any more, or maybe the pages are offline right now.
They seem to be doing a lot of work on the web site just recently ... I wonder why :?: :lol:

so has anyone managed to download then? and can you post them here?

Looks like they've put a check on the download page to see if you've actually done the IMEI check.
I've just gone through the check myself, and there's no check (as of yet) on the actual download link
http://xda.o2.co.uk/downloads/Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v113188.exe
(edit add - it's still an ancent ROM mind you)

Now the index page for the site is showing a 403: You are not authorized to view this page message. Hmmmmm.... *strokes* beard.

Just what is wrong with providing your IMEI? AFAIK it's just to make sure you're not trying to get the Exec ROM for the wrong device. O2 already know you've got an Exec - it says so on your account - and they know your device's IMEI.
As for ROM upgrades - use the latest QTek or IMate ROM. The QTek works well for me.

It's a PITA (albeit a minor one) to go through settings, open up the info screen, and type it in.
It's also a phone number check, so if you've got an Exec on a different network you can't get the updated rom. Or if you've got an MDA Pro etc then you can't get it as well.

Only 3 people on this entire thread are not on O2.
And you've wasted more time moaning about the O2 website than it would take to find your IMEI. Which is literally 5 taps of your stylus.
Besides which, the O2 ROM is crap, and the next O2 ROM will probably be just as crap, so there's probably not a great deal of point waiting for the next O2 ROM anyway, or using an O2 ROM on a device that isn't connected to O2. Unless you actually use O2 Active in which case you're doomed to use the current O2 ROM until O2 finally get an AKU2 ROM out. Which could be months away. FWIW you could probably copy the O2 customization crap out of the original ExtROM and install it over the top of a QTek/IMate ROM which would give you what you want from your device without having to wait for O2 or go through the hideously complex process of tapping your screen in 5 places and reading a number.

Like with any modern day phone you can just dial *#06# to find out your imei

Yeah but then you have to press 8 buttons: Phone, Fn, *, #, 0, 6, Fn, #
:roll:
(or 1 button & 5 screen taps - technically the System Info is still the more 'efficient')

02 XDA Orbit

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...!

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

Vodafone responds to Windows Mobile 6.1 issues

I opened a support ticket with Vodafone UK about the annoying email sending and HSDPA problems that my HTC TyTN II has demonstrated since I 'upgraded' it to WM 6.1. Here's the response:
---<starts>---
Thanks for your e-mail about your TyTn 11/V1615 and problems since updating your firmware from 6.0 to 6.1.
I've been speaking with our technical experts today for some more info for you. I'm told that they are aware of various issues with the 6.1 windows software for this phone and unfortunately until a newer software version is available you will have these issues with the 6.1 version. It's unlikely they'd spend more money redeveloping the 6.1 software problems as they may already be looking towards developing the next version.
The only option they can give is to delete the newer version and find the old version to download again instead. We understand this isn't ideal but at the moment its' the only solution to these issues.
If there's anything else I can do for you, let me know, I'll be glad to do all that I can to help.
---<ends>---
That's a lot of help - not. They might at least have provided a page with a link to go back to 6.0...

Well you ...
You should trying to get support from Vodafone in The Netherlands , where I am an ex-pat. Got this damn thing last Tuesday (7 working days ago) and because I got my deal through the web shop, the one in my area won't help.
My problem is, when I took to the main shop in Rotterdam to get it changed to English version...great took the techie 5 mins to flash it . Yeah!!!
When I get back home, 1 hours drive but 2 at peak traffic time (which is all the F#####G time here, I fire it up go to GPRS authentification...nothing on screen, silch, nada, nothing
So sorry to piggy back your thread M8, but any help for this on this forum?
