Need Advise from Experts

Guys,
I need your expert advise on this. I'm a newbie for XDA products, all of 'em. Previously I used two gadgets, mobile phone & PDA. Seeing the new magician form factor really encourage me to buy one of this beside, I think this magician will help me in saving more pockets by combining those 2 gadgets. However, I don't want to take wrong action when buying this product. I need all guidance I can get on this.
Currently, in my country, its more easy to find O2 XDA II Mini. I guess T mobile, i-Mate, and Q-Tek will not be here for the time being, so please XDA Mini users, help me. Here are my questions:
1. What is the ideal ROM versions when I'm about to test the product, I mean all ROMS include the ROM Radio, Ext ROM, etc?
2. Beside package content, what else should I need to check from the product?
3. What kind of programs that suits best with XDA II mini? I'm not really into game. Music & movies are more preferable and also some Personal Management apps (this one is the most essential) - Currently I used Pocket Informant to manage my Tasks & Schedules.
4. I saw a topics mentioning about audio probs, Is it hardware or software issues? Do you think I should ask the seller to open some package and test each of them?....Forget it, they won't let me anyway :lol: !
What else guys? help me please? Oh and don't forget to reccomend best apps and its version that getting along very well with XDA mini OS
Thanks
PS: Pardon me if my english is very unstructured.

Anyone? Please help?

I guess no one want to help me anyway....
Oh well.... anyway thanks for reading this thread guys

If it is easier to get local support for one of the devices where you live - I would suggest you go for that one.

I don't understand question 1.
2. Check that it's working.
3. You can download lots of free programs.
If you don't want audio issues, buy the MDA Compact from T-Mobile Germany. It's unlocked unlike T-Mobile Netherlands.

Thanks Guys for replying
Now I know why no one replies, my english is really bad huh?
Question no. 1, I mean you guys know much about ROM version, I want to know the best version, does anyone can share their XDA mini ROM version?
Question No 2, :lol: I know I should check is it working or not, but I mean should I do specific checking apart than try the phone, check the ROM, check the sound, camera, what else. If that's all I need to do than that will be fine.
Question No. 3, I heard that windows 2003 SE don't have high compatibility with regular windows mobile 2003, Could someone shares their experience what will work on XDA and what not? Or is there some apps that I should avoid in installing to a PDA? I'm a newbie, if anything happened to my XDA, I'dont know what to do except send it to service centre
Question No.4, My country only have XDA Mini right now and it comes unlock ( most phones in Indonesia are unlocked) Is the audio issue only happened with MDA or almost all magician?
Thanks for those who want to reply. Also thanks for those who opened this thread, sorry if I'm bothering you guys, I'm just a newbie who seeks for enlightment from experts
Thanks

As far as I know, there's no sound problem with the MDA Compact.
Also, I think the best ROM is the T-Mobile ROM.
If anything goes wrong after installing a program, do a soft reset.
If it's still bad, uninstall the program and do a soft reset.

My desktop

Hi all,
Im the happy owner of the Qtek 9100 and Im a newbie in this area. Ive been searching around in this forum and can see that there are some awesome people here who really know thier **** ;-)
Well the more I read the more confused I get regarding programs etc etc and I really need some guidance regarding how I actually create a desktop on my Qtek which is similar to the one you might find on a pc ?

Can anyone help me ? I am a very huge fan of free software and hate to download trial versions
Let me know what software I need and were to find it. Youre more than welcome to catch me ny msn on [email protected]

This is quite good though not free - http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+Desktop
Works like a PC desktop - bit slow performance in places though.
Lewis

Best FREE software to make it desktop like with icons...
go to www.pocketpcfreeware.com (or pocketpcfreewares.com cant remember sorry)... but do a search for cLauncher. it is a sweeet program. and it is free. it gives you menu's and lets you put icons in those menus (all on the today screen).
PocketWeather isn't bad eithor for a free weather forcast on your today screen.

Browse computer files through hermes ???

Sorry in advance if this question has been previously posted, i have been trying to search for an answer but no luck, i used search and i read the heading of almost every post in this website....
Well anyway I am trying to browse my homes wireless network shared folders throught my hermes, model dopod 838 pro bought in australia with 3 hutchingson, settings.
I love my phone but it have been exploring it for weeks now trying to see how i would do this, but cant find anything, there are a lot of networking stuff available in the phone which i dont understand so maybe i missed the spot???
I was thinking though that if i was able to do this, it would be through file explorer.
anyone can point me in the rght direction ?
Thank you in advance.

AFAIK, the hermes cannot do this 'out of the box'. If you install Resco file Explorer it does have this capability though.
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp

Thanks
Thank you for such a quick response, i am looking at it now.
will post and lt you know how i go.

does anyone know how to do this over a vpn? resco doesn't seem to work

Any other programs ?
i have installed resco suite and am using it now... but it is not free, the price isnt that much really but before i buy anything i would like to know if there are any others which wuld do the job that i can trial ??? also a little bit lighter ???

Vario with i****e-Look

Hi Members,
well, i am new at this forum, and i am impressed what some of you guys can do with the phone...
So... at this time i am only a user of any apps for my vario... in this case i have switch the look and behavior of my phone similar to apples damn phone (damn, because the features are damn - why you cant copy SIM-Contacts directly to the Phone? ).
Ok, so far, so good... but how did i realized the i****e-Look? with many tools found in the internet (like "iphone" or the great "PocketCM" and the cool "slide2unlock"). And i ask myself, is there a possibility to make one Software for all this (include omapClock) features, to install only one CAB, or better build a brand new ROM for this?
I think, one of you can answer my questions, because he is a really good coder (and here are many of them ).
So... best regards
Thomas

Jade Clone Owner - ronp76
Hello, my user name is ronp76 and I am a proud owner of a Jade Clone. I bought my phone one month ago on eBay and like how I have modified it with iPhoneToday. You can see my homescreen in the pic next to my user name.
I started this thread called Customize your Jade Clone to advance Clone developments:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581596
And, I know a thing or two about iGO8 as I was a Mod on another Forum. I tend to like all things GPS related. If you have a question about iGO8 on your Clone, perhaps we can start a thread on that too!
My user name is a combination of my first and last names. 76 holds a special place in my heart!!!

Where are the Clones? Send in the Clones. . .
. . .okay, I go away for a day and you guys all go gun shy on me! Over the weekend this had been a hot topic (as evidenced by the color of the envelope on the left side of the screen near the thread name).
Now it's cooled on and blue. Let's sign in please!

The hunt is on. . .
The hunt is on,

Looking for something great?
I suggest iGO8

This is the place and glad to have you. It is nice that two other Jade Clone owners have signed in. Ideally, I'd like to see all of us sign in and give others some details on what kind of experiences they bring to our community. That way if you ever see another post by a fellow Clone owner, you could come back to this thread and look up that person to see or refresh your memory about their background.

It is the main thread for us Jade Clone owners. BTW, you should be using the Thread Tools button to the upper right of the thread to add a subscription. Adding a subscription is like having a bookmark that when you click on will show unread posts and allow you to visit threads of interest to you.

i think that this is my first post since i know this awesome webpage... i began with a ipaq 3115, next i had, the 3715, next the 6315 (my first phone with WM), i changed to an O2 Atom (i loved it, stolen), next an HTC touch (elf)... stolen too, another elf... and now if got this Jade clone.... it is cool... it´s great... and cheaper than 3g in fact than Elf here in Colombia... I really like my Clone.

Good to have you onboard - your repair knowledge may come in very handy. On some of the different HTC sub Forums here, there are Wikis with how to dissassemble and repair phones. Since our Clones are most likely slightly different from the standard HTC Jade phone, your experience may lead to further knowledge along that line.
In several other threads here in the Jade sub Forums, other Clone owners have asked about replacing digitizers, GPS attennas and so forth. You might be able to take the lead on those questions if you're willing to experiment.
Slightly off topic - my brother bought a Blackstone Clone after seeing mine. Unfortunately his Clone did not come with a stand-alone charger which means the phone is the charger. We looked on eBay but as far as I can tell the Blackstone Cradle's charging posts are off about the width of its points. In the attached picture, you can see that contact points are in the utmost corner.
The Blackstone Clone's battery contact points would be to the left of the charger posts - we believe. I was wondering if a small bar could be placed between the points to make contact and allow the charging current to the battery. It would have to be a small sliver and heat resistant. Do you think something could be done and if so what would you recommend?

I'm waiting for my clone Touch 3G.
I'm in Canada.
I'm interested in topics such as Igo8/Amigo with the Touch3G, skin DimkaVert.

Wow, two Canadians in one day! I just answered a post in another xda Forum about a Canadian who is on Fido.
Take a look at this iGO8 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587989
iGO8 works on our Jade Clones. I should be done posting the game plan by Monday and can entertain questions there.
I should add that there were some major announcements on Wednesday 11/25 about the DimkaVert skin. D8389 (Dimka) has announced that he will no longer be developing the original skin. Instead he will make limited (Potentially untested) changes to the diMkaWertVRV base which may or may not flow through into the full diMkaWertVRV version at WertVRV's discretion. Megaduck posted that he will continue to work on his version with Specter. See:
http://www.igo8mods.com/dimka.htm
I don't use this skin as I prefer Gurjon 6p but I try to keep up on all things iGO8.

I don't even know if my clone will arrive before Xmas (sad).
I have Amigo on Magellan 3225.
I will spend more time on it when Igo9 arrive or new map of US/Canada arrive with more lane-guiding (right now, it's only in 3-4 MAJOR cities in Canada).

Hmmm, I don't think I've seen a Jade Clone called a EQU5238 before. I looked at your PDF and EQU5238 comes up searchable on the net. You've got a lot of extra software loaded on yours by the vendor. I like many of the SB titles as well as SK Tools and PHM Registry Editor.
Your SPB Shell program probably gives your Clone more of the TouchFlo 3D that many users buy their Clones for. I liked mine seeing that blue background with the analog clock and was disappointed that that theme was not automatically present.
Looks like you have yours tricked-out nicely!
