When I received a JasJam (Aussie Telstra Phone) off a mate to trial, it had the TNT rom on it... I didn't like it so after reading lots from this forum I put the latest Telstra rom on it. Great, everything worked, but there's just one thing I missed from the TNT rom and something my old iMate Pocket PC didn't do either but my old old O2 smartphone did do...
The TNT rom had variable volume, which I believe mutes the volume or goes to vibrate while in an appointment marked busy... My old old O2 smartphone did this but my iMate Pocket PC and this iMate JasJam don't...
Is there a setting I haven't found, or, is it not available on that rom, or can I get a .cab to add that functionality?
I think HTCHome has a profile setting like this!
Bump... Anyone?

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.

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.
Hi All,
I seem to be having Bluetooth problems with my dutch t-mobile mda compact:
I am using a simple bluetooth headset - it's got no brand name - but I know it works fine beacuse before getting the mda compact I have used it with my Nokia 6310i and it works fine.
Anyhow, I pair the headset with my mda with no problem and it may work all day long without any problem - but... if for instance I leave the room with my headset - leaving the phone behind - which essentially disconnects the BT headset and the phone - when I come back the phone doesn't recognize the headset no matter what I do. The headset icon on the top of the phone disappears and oesn't come back. I reset the phone, I cliick on the headset answer button, I turn on and off the bluetooth on the phone, I switch on and off the headset - nothing helps!
The only solution that I found working is to delete the headset from the bluetooth devices in the mda and then rediscover the headset which works like a charm. All goes back to normal unitl the next time that it loses connection. I think the phone also sometimes loses connection when I am not using the headset for a long time (and hour or so)...
What can I do?? this is really driving me crazy. I have no problems when using the same headset with my nokia 6310i - but hey, I want to use the MDA!!!
My device: MDA COMPACT - T-Mobile Netherlands
Rom - 1.01.00 WWE
Radio - 1.00.10
Protocol - 1337.36
Ext Rom - 1.01.124 WWE
Thanks you guys for helping me
Ciao,
Lisa
hey Lisa..
i've noticed ur device informations are the following:
My device: MDA COMPACT - T-Mobile Netherlands
Rom - 1.01.00 WWE
Radio - 1.00.10
Protocol - 1337.36
Ext Rom - 1.01.124 WWE
they are too old :wink:
I have not experienced a problem like urs before,but i recommend u to upgrade ur device(the latest ROM version is 1.12.00,as much as i know :wink: ),u can find it in the ftp server,wich u can access from the wiki page(top left of ur page)...
if ur new to PDAs,then u have to know that ur device is a Magician,so search the ftp in the Magician folder :wink:
if u don't know how to upgrade ur device,u just have to ask,i will guide ur to the steps with pleasure
hope i've helped...
RAGO :lol:
Thanks Rago.
I was kind of wondering which one of the ROMs I should pick? When logging on to the FTP directory - there are lot's of shipped Magician Roms... Many show 112 - but which one should I take?
Is there any issue with the new Roms? Bluetooth problems?
Regards,
Lisa
hi lisa
best available workaround is to buy zenduris pocket zenphone software (do a search here at xda-developers). this program enables the headset profile permanently so your mda will be able to re-connect with your headset again, when you are back in the room.
cheers, lutz
Hi Lutz,
Thanks again for helping me
So you are using the word "workaround" - is this a known problem or it this just a problem with my device?
Am I to assume that there is a problem with the BT can can only be worked around and not solved permanently?
Does any of the new Roms solve this?
Bye,
Lisa
hi lisa
well there may be a rom that acts different but i won't force you to flash your device certain times with all the risks just to find out that it doesn't work! zenduris pocket zenphone really fixes the issue permanently and is definitely the best way to do it. i myself use the german o2 xda mini rom and it works well with my parrot ck3100 and reconnects with it the way it should while all the other (german) rom versions did not. but i guess you won't flash your device with a german rom, right...
cheers, lutz
Good evening all,
Has anybody else noticed a missing peice of software ???
I'm running my Exec on the latest 02 rom (1.13.188 WWE) and its running great but, when I tried to explore a freinds nokia I noticed that the Blutooth Manager wasn't there... :?: I didn't recall seeing manager there beforehand as I had picked up my Exec on the Saturday and flashed the new rom upgrade on the Sunday... :shock:
Can anybody give me a lil bit of help on this please...??
Thanx

Bluetooth Manager was a WM2003SE thing. It was "simplified" in WM5 (which is what the Exec runs) by putting everything under Bluetooth Settings.
Thanx for that Ineedtoy,
do you know if there is anyway to emulate that feature....? it came in quite handy sometimes...
Thanx
The magman
I guess that depends what you want to do. Is there something in BT Manager that you can't do in the Communication Manager (icon in bottom systray on Today page) and BT Settings?
Good evening Ineedtoys,
With wm2005 you have to option to connect to any bluetooth device just as you could with the earlier models but now, unless i'm missing it...
You no longer have the ability to explore those devices now as u could before...?
It is/was a very handy feature for certain circumstances..
thanx the magman
Ah, right. When you connect to a device from the Devices tab it automatically lists all the services available as tickboxes, you then just tick the ones you want to use in that profile. You can change them at anytime afterwards by tapping and holding on the device name and selecting Edit (even when not connected).
Is that what you want to do?
I know what magman is talking about. Under the Broadcom 3900 stack on my old 2i, there was an option of opening an Explorer style window detailing the files held on the destination device in order to search for a particular file. That doesn't seem possible on the Exec's MS stack - not that I can see, anyway.
If anyone knows of a way to do this on the Exec, please let us know.
Cheers

Has anyone yet worked out if it is possible to enable A2DP in the new I-Mate ROM?
It has been suggested that comparing differences in the registry between the "test" rom and the "ship" rom may shed some light on this. Can any qtek "test" rom users help with this?
Another suggestion is to post the extended_rom from the qtek "test" rom. It may be possible to install the AKU2 update cab from this to overwrite the current settings. Anyone got the extended_rom from the qtek "test" rom which they can post?
TIA.
Is this a dumb question? Can anybody tell me whether the A2DP has been removed or disabled from the latest i-mate rom?
Cheers,
Shamus
removed...if u want u can try Q Tek ROM
Thanks for the reply...isn't the qtek AKU2 rom buggy? I have read many reports of lock-ups from people using this rom.
I am not sure if it is possible to downgrade from the new i-mate rom as it has re-enabled the cid lock. AWizard and lockwiz don't work with this new rom. Anyone managed to downgrade from the new i-mate rom?
Cheers,
Shamus.

aWizard works with the iMate ROM if you just want to unlock CID. It is not able to change the 2nd splash screen. I just used aWizard to unlock CID on my Qtek 9100 to replace the latest iMate ROM with the Qtek test ROM with A2DP.
Just got this new Bluetooth stereo headset yesterday, which comes with a BT transmitter for attaching to my iPod, and it's working great with the 9100. I am one happy fellow! :lol:

Do you hear any strange sounds while listening BT-stereo from your Qtek? I've read a few posts where people complain about some sort of whine noise that can easy be heard during pauses between songs... They say it's a Wizard hardware problem - the reason why HTC disabled A2DP in the final AKU2 firmware.
i had no whining problems with the test rom using a2dp, however what did happen every so often was the pitch would change for a few seconds, i asumed it was due to the cache, from what i had heard the a2dp creates a virtual music memory to transfer at its own speed.
i'm using it with my iphono mini 450 headphones.
no pitch problems or whine?noise. ( do you realy mean whine or white?)
I do hear a very slight hiss, but that must be the headphones cos i also hear that when its not connected. Probably radionoise.
For me the rom is also running stable so i don't understand why they took it out of the rom
The only problem i have is when i wear my phone in my pocket the sound sometimes stutters when i turn my head or place an arm in between etc.
But thats probably due to the fact that the headphones are 10meter class
Good afternoon,
Here I am looking for expert's advice. i just received this morning my new BT620s headset, paired it with my O2 Exec. My problem is that the only thing I can do is handsfree and not stereo headset. i'm quite surprised as I believed the Exec supported the AD2P profile. My Exec is updated to the latest ROM available on O2 website:
1.30.107 WWE, radio 1.09.00.
Can anyone help me ???
Is there any new roms that could add the profile ???
I'm quite desperate right now.
Philippe
The current o2 rom doesn't have A2DP
Search the forums for 'zoki ad2p hack' cab file, install this and do a soft reset and you should have the 'wireless stereo' profile
ROM ?
OK I'll try to find that !
You know I'm really a newby on PDAPhone stuff. I know a lot about PCs and MACs but PDAPhone is just really new.
I'vce been looking around the forum and seen new ROMS with new features but I'm a bit lost. Do you know what ROM I could upgrade my Exec to? I don't need the latest but one that would include A2DP and work 100% correctly.
Philippe
