Can anyone who has purchased a XDA IIi tell me what colour it comes in? I was hoping it would have been in black like th XDA IIs? Also does the XDA IIi come with an integrated qwerty keyboard?
Many regards
Nya
Nah, sorry it's in silver and doesn't have a keyboard. Exactly same as XDA2 looks wise.

buzz

- has no integrated keyboard
- has no built in WIFI
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i.html
Wrong wrong !! ..it has wifi builtin!
Wrong wrong !! ..it has wifi builtin!
Hi, don't know how to check bootloader version, sorry. If you let me know how then I'd be glad to help.
Anyhow;
ROM version 1.10.00 WWE
ROM date 12/24/04
Radio version 1.00.00
Protocol version 1337.39
Ext ROM version 1.10.124 WWE
Anything else that you'd like to know ( and can explain how I find it ) just ask.
well on the website the xdaIIi looks better then xdaII the major fact and improvement is 1.3 Mega Pixel Camera and the memory and wi-fi but does it really do what it says ?? is it worth dumping xdaII and going for xdaIIi......on paper its no doubt beating xdaII but in actuall is it A SOLID MASTER PIECE LIKE XDAII ??
Improvements I can see...
Built in wifi
Proper version of 2003SE
Way better bluetooth including listening to MP3's
Seems generally quick even in non-turbo mode
WMP10
Smart Dialing. Can easily find contacts and read numbers from sim
Phone Pad is cool. Can use T9 in any app
Can't really compare the camera as I almost never used it on the II and don't have any use for it on the IIi.

Ok for me this is some news......
1.Way better bluetooth including listening to MP3's
Are you sayin that you can listen to mp3's on BT HEADSET (Stereo Quality) ???
Also can you take out some pics from your XDAIIi under (artificial) house light and in sun light and post them here just so that i can see whats the camera resolution and stuff. (WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT)
As i am planning to dump my xdaII for xdaIIi just becaz it has 1.3 Mega Pixel and built in Wi-Fi.

Just my fhorts on the XDA2i.....
As to the Camera, it just as crap as the XDA2 or XDA2s but now it takes bigger crap pictures, a typical picture set to XL size is around 185kb. One thing tho i seems to take 2 seconds to take the picture, I.E you push the capture button then move to phone you take a picture of a blur.
The turbo mode.... not sure if i see any differance
the WiFi says it connects at 11MBs where as my XDA2 + sandisk card and the XDA2s only said 2MBs, not that i care as long as it connects, and it sure dose the range is as good as my laptop, Far better than XDA2 and 2s.
it did have a nice little icon on the task bar i surpose you call it on the bottom right to rotate the screen, anyway i nstalled the o2-plus-1.5 and it made it very slow, so i removed it and it has stolen the nice screen rotate icon
the desk stand is of corse the same as the XDA2 the battery is the same fitting, size and looks, but is now 1300 ma/h were the XDA2 is 1200 mh/a i still have a old XDA2 battery (thank god) as the 2i loves to eat up battery power
i liked the XDA2 but wonted the built in WiFi as i never had the sandisk WiFi card with me, so of corse as soon as i could i got a PDA2k, then changed to the 2s as soon as o2 had them in the UK, i never used the keyboard on it, and the microphone was crap, also as the bluetooth did not work, i am so pleased to get what i always wonted a XDA2 with WiFi built in.
as to windows media player 10, not sure what all the fuss is about
it now has 60mb of storage but 1GB SD cards only costing £40 not suck a problem,
as yet i have not tried WiFiFoFun or TT3 bluetooth on it...
As to bluetooth its version 3900 where that latest i found for the 2s was 3500...
The connection icons at the top are a little more helpfull, but no clock on the bar at the top.
i cant find my old XDA2 battery (sorry backpack) to try and keep it lasting a bit longer, i will find it and try it ( and put something in the PCMCIA solt) rather than just as a battery and report how it goes
the Bluetooth for the headset works as good as it did in the XDA2, not perfect but a million times better than the 2s...
So as you can see from the above, I like to have the latest phone, I dont use technicle (cant spell it either) words, and i HATE the 2s.
As to the 2s i have some bits for them that will go on ebay please see the pic
Thanks for reading and please ask me any questions as long as you dont mind a non technicale answer

How is it possible to move the clock from up on the bar to the today screen items?
Is this ROM available for XDA II?
not sure how to remove the clock, not even sure it was there to start with but the screen rotation icon has also gone..
Can someone with a fresh 2i please confirm there is a clock time showing on the display at the top right
Thanks
John
The clock is on upper right of 'Title Bar' to begin with but as soon as o2 Active installs, it's gone. I like the clock up there so I stopped installation.
Did this after a hard reset as was curious to see if o2 Active was causing my 2i to run slowly - and Hey Presto, I get clock back and a quicker 2i
Cyber-mate, I think the clock being part of Today 'list of items' is due to the o2 Active interface.
Below is a link to a registry hack that allows you to show either time, date, both or neither on top right of screen.

Just to let anybody who's not happy with the XDAIIi know that I've just got a full refund on my unit from Carphone Warehouse.
They gave me the usual rubbish of "only 14 days to change mind after upgrade," "28 days warranty" etc, and initially refused a simple refund, saying I could only return the unit for repair under my insurance policy.
So I returned the unit along with a two page document of all the problems: camera bug, phone not re-establising signal, GPRS failing to connect, erratic battery drain, no blackberry, tom tom incompatible, alarm bug, poor microphone quality, and of course the good old device lock ups. This was nicely cross referenced to the advertised features of the device, with just the merest hint that the unit wasn't fit for purpose
Anyway, I called them yesterday to find out the repair progress, and they've admitted defeat and given me a refund.
It's a shame really, I would rather have a working XDAIIi with WiFi than my current XDAII, but it was driving me mad. Maybe I'll retry the device after the new ROM comes out, but I'm not holding my breath.
Andy I was having many of those problems on my IIi, however I slapped on the iMate ROM and it's all cleared up - tomtom5 works a dream and that annoying SMS indicator that sometimes never goes away - now actually goes away!
Hi Andy, When i fist got my shiny new XDA2i i too was slightly miffed at the ammount of bugs and lock ups it had.
But after finding this site and i removed the custom O2 crap i have never looked back since.
The battery was my main grumble but that only lasted for the first week, i can now use my PDA playing mp3s all day and still have power left the next day.
the only grumble i have now is the ****ty camera, which is tottaly below standard for a 1.3 m camera.
And i know ... if you want a digital camera go buy a proper one springs to mind but i like having a decent camera (or it should be), on my phone
advice ... Stick with it for a while, install the new I-mate rom and all is good ... NOW WHERES WM2005 !!!!!!
I still find it incredible that the latest technology, hailed as flagship products are rushed to market in this state, what do they have to gain from that? It cannot be good for business surely.
Forgive my ignorance, but where can I get the iMate ROM please?
David
upgrade for xda2i
Hello, someone mentioned slapping on the imate rom to xda2i...but how did you do that? I have a qtek rom. I tried to do an 'upgrade' with an o2 rom but got the famous country error code. Is there a way of changing rom for xda2i? What was your original rom?
I appreciate your help. a.
Danny-B- I always remove the O2Active junk, indeed ran the device in a clean "corporate" mode for a while to check that it wasn't something I was installing causing the problems, but it made no difference to the stability.
Thanks for the info about the PDA2 rom being available and comaptible (hey ho it's a bit late now!) but it bodes well for a future O2 rom release. I might try the device again when there's an official release.
Heres a link to the Imate upgrade thread, I'd read the hole thread before hand though as i also had the country code error and had to change that too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23736
There is a link to the wiki page on how to do that.
Hi all,
I currently own Blue Angel and have a write protect screen saver. Waiting for o2 Exec release hopefully next week. My first question being is the screen size the same and therefore no need to wait for a new screen protector especially for Exec? Also at weekends I may decide that the Exec is too big to carry around in jeans. I have an old Sony Erricson T68. I am right in understaind that o2 will send out a new 3g enabled SIM. Will this 'new' SIM work on my old T68?
Many thanks for taking the time to read this.

Hi,
Battery cover is diffrent in MDA Vario IV (diffrent than Fuze and Touch Pro).
Does anyone know a place where I can find proper battery?
Thanks,
spinecki
Have looked at Seidio, GPS for less and expansys but no joy - all have back covers for Touch Pro, even if they say T-Mobile Vario IV. The back cover for touch pro assumes that the handset has a chunk on the bottom 1/4 of it (that the cover has to fit around). Whereas the UK Vario IV does not have this chunk and so the case would have to be level from top to bottom where it attaches.
GPS for less say they are due to manufacture a cover for the UK T-Mobile Vario IV. Until then, not aware of any extended battery covers for it. Hopefully soon though...
did you ever find a battery for the mda?
unfortunately not
Perhaps contact GPS for less to ask if they have manufactured a back panel that fits the Vario 4 as opposed to the one shown in their pictures which does not fit the Vario 4
I have had to return 2 already as the Vario 4 requires a back panel that has level top, bottom and side mounting points
i have thought about just getting a straight replacement battery with a charging dock from GPS for less. This way you have 2 batteries and use the dock to charge the spare and you use the original back panel you have
Dear All,
I'm a NuB here and have a problem with my Battery Cover, As all knows, as we slide back the battery cover the phone goes off, and my problem: my phone is restarting even with a little tap on the cover. I wonder whether we could disable this matter or it is a mechanical process.
your help would be appreciated.
Any Ideas?
