QTEK 2020

Hi all I have just ordered a QTEK 2020 and am waiting eagerly for it...
At this point I have just one question: are software, drivers, applications, settings, roms and so on common for all of XDA II, MDAII, QTEK 2020, i-MATE and HTC? Should I look for specific QTEK 2020 software and drivers or is everything compatible? Are there specific QTEK 2020 ROMS or can I flash it with an XDA II rom for instance?
I'm asking this because there seems to be much more staff for XDA II and barely anything for the QTEK 2020.
Thanks.

Only had my Qtec 2 weeks, flashed the ROM to below, excellant I would recommend to anyone.
My new ROM details:Get this direct from QTEC http://www.qtek.nu/files/RUU172752WWE.zip
1.72.00WWE,
ROM date 03/15/04
Radio version 1.14.00
Protocol version 1337.24
ExtROM Version 1.66.130
History:My QTEC was a unlocked version from Expansys http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=108269, I use Orange, I used the info from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10866 specifically page 4-NPG (Thanks)
1. Get to bootloader (power+navi-key+reset)
2. Put device into cradle
2. Run update (the original from Qtek)
Took about 1 hour for whole process to complete! :?
I have seen a vast improvement in the general speed/stability for the device since ROM update, so i would recommend it.
I use TomTom 3.03 Navigator GPS software, with a TomTom Bluetooth reciever and a BlueTrek G2 headset at the same time no problem. I can even recieve calls while navigating!
With regards to Software you might want to look in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/FAQ for details of the differences between devices, mainly operating system ram etc.
Hope this helps you, this is the best all purpose gadjet I have ever had...

thanks gadjet, at least you're giving me the feeling that I haven't spent all that money for nothing. I have spent £399 on the qtek 2020, got it from expansys too, but unfortunately, i ordered it friday and on my order status they said that it's still at the central warehouse and I have to wait 3 more days for it to be shipped!! So I'll now have it on Wednesday or Thursday most probably!! One problem with the QTEK site is that it's all in Swedish or whatever language it is, and I don't understand anything other than Maltese, English, French and Italian :?

BTW, thanks especially for the link below gadjet, it basically says that apparently any software for any of the XDA II, MDA II, QTEK 2020 i-MATE and HIMALAYA are common, so if I don't find a spcific thing for the QTEK 2020 itself I may use one for the other brand names....

Glad to be of help
You won't be dissappointed when you do get it, it's a great pice of hardware..

I am really starting to hate my Alpine!

OK got a Himalaya and an Alpine (XDA branded) and my Himalaya is very happy now running WM2005 1.60a and the Alpine is running the O2 1.10 ROM.
I had forgotten how unstable WM2003se was compared to WM2005!
The phonepad keeps breaking, have to reinstall from cab files regularly, had to do this on the Himalaya too so it's not the particular ROM or anything I don't think.
Crashes, and lockups, corruption on the today screen that either require a soft reset or messing about changing today themes.
My problem is this, on the Himalaya running 2005, I have many apps installed to my SD card, which is fine, but when I need to use WiFi I need to unplug that to use the SDIO WLAN card, so I am unable to then use many of the programs installed.
Damn shame to let this Alpine gather dust, considering it has 128mb ram and rom, and could run 2005 so much better.
Are there any any newer English ROMs for the Alpine, or should I sit and wait with it boxed up until someone releases something else for it?

I was very annoyed at people working on 2005 for xda2 at the time as I believed that we would get grief from MS about it. It seems that, on the whole, that hasn't happened.
I got a 2i thinking that it would be the next upgrade, therefore when an even newer one comes along - ie Universal - I would be better placed to flog the 2i to pay for it. I'm almost starting to regret that decision as I would dearly love the have 2005 on my 2i...and if I had kept the xda2 I would have been enjoying 2005y goodness by now. Grrr!!
Bring on Universal that's what I say!!

Yes there's other released roms for your ALPINE especially from IMATE and Qtek... So get the Pda2 WWE ROM from IMATE and try to use it on you XDA2i..
Good Luck my friend..

where can us xda 2i owners find th imate rom!?

Yeah, I thought you had to enter your IMEI to access images on the i-mate site.
Have you got a direct link please?

Here!

Many thanks, getting it now

Alan,
I read your thread and have similar dislikes about me Alpine. I have an O2 XDAIIi.
How did your upgrade go?
I downloaded the ROM upgrade but haven't installed it. I am really green at this and not sure how/if I should back up the ROM I have in case I need to restore. Did you do that? Can you guide me on how?
If the ROM upgrade was successful, were you able to install 2005? Again, can you point me in the direction of that download, and instructions.
Greatly appreciated,
Kyle

Try this page, it's about the most up to date ROM for the 2i at the moment. I've had no problems with it at all.

Urm.. you didn't actually post a link?
I am using the i-mate one at the moment, too many people seem to be having problems with the O2 1.11 ROM

True
Sorry, blonde moment there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25801
I reckon the problem with the new O2 ROM is the radio stack is still the original one. The radio stack on the ROM in the above link is the much better I-mate one with the updates of the O2 ROM.

Why no WM5 exactly?

Looking at the MDA Compact II, the only main difference from our Magician is the processor. All other hardware is presumably the same as the Magician's (memory size is not significant).
So ..... if 3rd party software can run on any of the CPUs, why cant' WM5? Or is it that 3rd party software for the TI OMAP processor is compiled specifically for that CPU?
Just wondering :?

WM5 probably could run on Magician and potentially any device.
I'm not educated enough to answer correctly, but AFAIK anyone can build WM5 for the Magician using platform builder, but getting it work is the problem. We don't have compatible drivers etc specifically written for the device (as you can see with some of the WM5 builds for blue angel). So without proper drivers for all the hardware, it won't be "compatible" with all of the hardware.
Mamaich is the man for this question though. His Wizard ROM should open up doors I imagine.
V

I'm well aware of the drivers issue but with an MDA Compact II ROM the drivers should work just fine as it is essentially the same hardware. No?
More specifically, my question should be: is it JUST the different processor that won't allow us to use a WM5 Compact II ROM on our Magician? And if it is so, how come? (if 3rd party sofware can run on both processors with the same build?)

Actually, went down to a computer store on Friday and tested the HP IPAQ 1950. It only had 64MB ROM and 32MB RAM and 300MHz but it was very fast to operate which is surprising. Faster than an O2 mini display model.
Note that all display models only have factory settings with software that comes preinstalled. Comparing an O2 mini 64MB RAM/64 MB ROM 416MHz WM2003SE with an HP rx1950 32MB RAM/64MB ROM 300MHz WM 5.0, the rx1950 felt faster plus the HP screen was 3.5" as well.
I guess i they wanted to release an upgrade to WM 5.0 for the O2 mini/iMate JAM they could but why bother because they'll make more money selling the next model with WM 5.0

I think the O2mini noob is absolutely right. They just want to sell new Devices. Why else don't they give an Update to WM5 for XDA II / III although there are unofficial leaks?

Why they don't want to release WM5 for the Magician is pretty obvious now, look at HTC Charmer and HTC Prophet ... but the question is why can't we have a COOKED ROM from the HTC Charmer? What is the technical reason why an HTC Charmer/MDA Compact II ROM does not work on the Magician?

Well for a start the nbf for the t-mob charmer will need to a bit of chopping first to fit on a magician, since its 72mb. plenty of room on the charmers 128mb rom but not for the magician.

O2 XDA II Mini and O2 II (S???)

Hi,
1. Just received an O2 XDA II, however:
a) "XDA II" is what is printed on the phone (Silver) case but when I
turned it on "XDA IIs" is shows up during the phone start up.
For info,
O/S is WinMobile 2003 2nd Ed., Ver. 4.21.1088.
Processor is Intel PXA263
ROM Version / Date is 2.06.00WWE / 06-14-04
Radio Version: 1.18.00
So what does this make my phone, an XDA II or XDA IIs?
b) In the [Programs] menu window, there is a folder:
"Communications/WiFi Tools/WLAN Tools (Mobile Edition)"
The WLAN program is from "www.socketcom.com" - (Utility Version
2.0 and a Build Date of Jan 20, 2005)
Does this mean I can WIFi? And do I still need to get a WiFi Card or
the phone itself is already WiFi capable?
2. I also have an O2 XDA II Mini which I have been using for the past year. So far I have already sync the "Contacts" and the other files from my Mini to the XDA II.
However, is there a way to copy/sync its "Messages" folders to my O2 XDA II? I have saved a lot of important texts and made numerous subfolders, and thus really need to duplicate the existing format to my other unit. So far using Active Sync and Microsoft Outlook has not worked for me.
Appreciate any advise you can give.
Thanks, Pogi

Does it have a slide out keyboard at the bottom ?
the XDA IIs is supposed to !

Nope. The unit itself is XDA II. However, when I trun on the phone, the start up displays "XDA IIs". Plus there is a WLAN program (XDA II does not usually have this). Tx

The XDA 2i looks like and XDA 2 and has built-in WiFi. Does yours actually have WiFi, or just a program (which doesn't actually do anything)?

Mine has the WLAN program and just needs a Wi-Fi Card to run.
Thanks

Pare, what you have over there is an XDAII but with software upgraded to WM2003 Second Edition giving it the same software as the XDAIIs so the only difference that I know of between the XDAII (upgraded) and the XDAIIs is the keyboard (XDAIIs has a builtin one), WLAN (XDAIIs has it builtin) and the larger memory and faster chip on the XDAIIs.

Maraming salamat for the info. So does this mean ... all I need is to buy a Wi-Fi card? What brand to you suggest besides Sundisk?

Also, is there a way I can copy the messages (especially those in my folders) from my XDA II Mini to my XDA II?
Thanks again, pre

to be honest, I haven't really tried the wifi on the XDAII at all though the specs on the official website says it'll work.

Ok, thanks again sa tulong

Andes is also xda2i?

It said in the descriptions that the Andes is also sold as xda2i? But Alpine has the exact same description. Can anyone tell me how to tell the difference? And if indeed I own an "Andes", would I be able to use the Himalaya Rom Upgrades?
Thanks

yeah same thing confuses me too, did u find answers?

i have both a xda2 and a xda2i, the 2i has wifi, a more powerful cpu and more memory.
but is essencially the same but it cannot take a xda2 rom. due to its differances.
