O2 XDA Atom Exec WM6.1
I have been experimenting with many of the new roms available on this site for my exec, each one is tried and tested to see the best one for me, and I express my appreciation to all those who make this obtainable
The ONLY issue I have is with time, for some strange reason my exec seems to change the time and the timezone when it feels like it, I am in Perth and on install I set to that timezone with the correct settings, then later I see it has changed and there is no logic or reason, it moves to many different zones.
I initially thought it may be picking the time from over east (Sydney) from my TSP Vodafone, but it has picked London, and many others. It has caused me a few issues with missed appointments and alarms, nothing too serious, but just a PITA.
I do NOT use any form of INTERNET connection with the account, it is a PAYG not maxi cap and that is all I need from it.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would be most grateful.
Cheers

Hi there,
I have synced all my contacts from Outlook 2003 indo the XDA II and cannot make any phone calls any more, after a while of playing around I’ve found out that if I take away the +61 in front of the phone number it dials with no problems.
I have looked all over support forums on the net, have spent many hours playing around with the XDA II but cannot find away around the problem, My reginal settings are all correct (All set to Australia) and all the phone settings I’ve set up as Australia as well.
I would really appreciate it if some one could point out a way to fix this problem I am having, as you can imagine it is VERY annoying editing the number before calling and after syncing up again if you ever edit the contact in Outlook it automaticly puts the country code back in.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated… thanks very much in advance!

I had the same problem here in The Netherlands.
Your problem is not the +61 on the phone numbers. If you go into Outlook, and take off the leading 0 from the area code, you'll find it working properly again.
The real problem here is that Microsoft designed the software for use with the US phone number system, where area codes don't have leading zero's. Hence, this problem will arise almost everywhere outside the USA.
Microsoft has repeatedly been asked to adapt their software to this problem, but so far with extremely little response.
Thanks VERY much for your reply HageM.. I will give it a go and see how it all works... GREAT WORK!!!
Hi all
I am using my XDA IIi on Vodafone but when i connect to GPRS the first time it works perfectly but if I reconnect to the GPRS service either hours or days later it says the i cant connect to "internet" which is the APN name for mobile web on vodafone.
The only way to rectify this is is to switch flight mode on and off again.
Has anyone else noticed this and if so have they found a solution?
Thanks

Common problem I'm afraid. Happens with the O2 or i-mate ROM for me, and many others.
Can only hope they fix it soon.
Hmmmm thats not good news. Its also quite interesting as it didnt used to do that.
Is this a problem that drifts in and out or just one that develops and then you are stuck with. Ive had my IIi since march and its only started doing this in the last couple of weeks.
Hopefully a fix will come out eventually for it are any of the roms, imate etc any better?
Cheers

Well I prefer the i-mate ROM images as they aren't network branded, but they are all pretty much the same past the customisations, Microsoft release the updates, HTC customise it, and the company that brands the particular device customises it.
Thanks for the info.
Are the imate roms on the ftp somewhere? I couldnt find them. I have the new O2 rom that someone has added radio 1.3 to running at the moment but it did not fix the problem.
Cheers

Hi Folks,
Just upgraded from an O2 XdA IIs to an iMate JasJar.. Niiiice piece of kit I did the upgrade so I could connect to 3, as they were the only provider that I could find that would let me do a data bundle on my mobile plan (I'm out of the office a lot of the time, so like to get my email via gprs). Anyhoo, everything's working great, except I can't seem to get the right settings for MMS.
So I'm hoping someone here has a universal on 3 here in .au and has MMS working, and can tell me what config they're using..
Thanks,
Damien
G'day Rendrag,
I have seen alot of people having problems with getting 3 MMS to work on their non sold 3 phones, have you checked out the settings here that some people have posted? http://www.aussie3g.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=14311&highlight=3services
I will soon to be investigating this once my m5000 arrives. Apparently everything else works fine on the 3 network.
Cheers

Hi Ahrjay,
Those are the settings I'm using, but sending MMS's just doesn't work.. I've seen plenty of people on aussie3g.com saying they can't get MMS working but there's been no posts about it since february, so I thought I'd post over here incase someone knew
Regards,
Damien
I thought i made a post in here last nite about my problems too, but i dunno what happened, sufficed to say, i like to consider that i have fairly good know how, when it comes to this sort of stuff, and i can't work out, how to send an mms for the life of me...
and i've tried, everything i can think of... i just can get it to work, i hope someone out there can help us out..
FWIW I have been trying for months as well.
I even tried ringing the help number, but the're useless. They ask what phone you have and when its not one of the "three" phones they have no idea what to do.
Perhaps bumping this up to the front page might help.

Anyone have any success yet????
Not me.. I even went to the trouble of making a bit of a scene at the hutchinson stand at CeBIT the other month over their MMS not working and them not giving a stuff, but the tech guys all ran for cover, and left the sales guys going 'ummm'.

Grr... what the hell is going on?
Surely the phone, is capable of doing it all and then some...
So I have to ask, where is the problem lying? Is it in some sort of I.D. being rejected? Connection settings? Or some sort of software malfunction?
To my understanding, Vodaphone have recently started selling these phones, so i would guess, that they're service is compatiable in every way with the jasjar????

Hmm, might be worth a trip down to the local vodaphone store and have a look at what settings they use, and see if they're anything like what we're trying to use on three?

Hmm... well the settings would be different, as they will all be different server...
I think, it's an I.D. thing personally. I think the JasJar is sending some infomation and 3 is just rejecting the whole mms. But i could be way off, i don't know.
What i'm really curious about, is how vodaphone would support their content service, as i can't think of any way to play RTSP streams on a WM5 device. Which is pretty much how all the content on 3 is streamed, making it in-accessible for all of us with Universal's, and all future WM5 devices....
I think this is a universal 3 network issue for the Universal :shock:
I think it would be good if we discuss this all in one universal "3" thread .....I think this thread is a good one to discuss it in because there are people from other countries on the 3 network also trying to sort out similar issues and there know how is also very helpful.

I've been trying since MAR and no avail. I can "send" MMS to myself and it'll come (so I get the subject header) but when I try to download the actual content it gives some stupid error (the same happens when ppl MMS me - get the header but no content)
Three network
Hi all,
Everyone around the world seem to be having the same issues with the Three network.
I think it might be a good idea if with consolidate all the Three network discussion to one thread. Then maybe if we combine efforts we will find the solutions.
This is the thread I think would be good to move all the discussion to as it already has some good stuff in there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51646
I hope you think its a good idea too....and we see you in there.
Hi guys its been 3months now since I bought this device called Orange SPV 3100[HTC Hermes]. Since then my struggle to keep it working all the time started. I love installing apps/games & moreover the educative apps the most. I never tried to tweak much with my device as I never had time to do this. I am using SKTools retail to keep my device healthy. But I don't know after such a short period of time I am feeling so irritated with this device, I am using WM5 official ROM of Orange. Its been 4 times in the entire period that I hard reset my device to set it right but again after 1 week I don't know what happens with it,that it always starts giving me one or other problems like- short battery life, hang[most of the time I have to soft reset my device,normally 20 times a day] I do some important work of mine & the next time it stops working as if there is something very heavy going on inside the RAM. Now after 4th hard reset I tried to set everything right but of no avail, I tried using task switcher of different brands in order to have some sort of task management, but again this stupid device not allowing any of these task managers to work. What should I do avoid such hangups, crashes, less battery life? What is the answer? does it lies somewhere in changing the device or changing the OS to WM6 as been claimed by many. I need Your reply seniors I really bought this device to be a part of Forum.Xda-developers family, but now I am so sad with my experience that sometimes I regret my decision of buying a PPC device when I have lot of important works to do[I am an attorney] Seniors, technicians I Urge You to look in to this matter as an urgency otherwise it will be a last week of this device with me.
"This device is suppose to help me & not the vice versa"

I think I can feel your pain. I had a Dopod 838 pro (aka Hermes).
But you've already mentioned the source of your problem: you're still using WM5 on your Hermes (???). Even now, there are still people who have not flashed the latest official WM6 ROMS?
Why don't you download the official ROM from the HTC or dopod website and take the time to flash it to your device...
I flashed mine, and the number of times I had to soft-reset the device in a week I can count on three fingers. (of course, I will soft-reset everytime I do a backup, but never mind that). It turned out to be the BEST phone/PDA I have ever had in over 10 years.
The ONLY reason I switched to TyTN II Kaiser is coz I found I needed more RAM for applications (due to my work. I'm an FX trader and part-time real estate speculator). Otherwise, for normal usage (PIMs, contact management, Internet, messaging, phonecalls), I think I would have stuck with the Dopod for a very long time..
The only tweakers I used were SKTools and Memmaid (I'm still using them). You say you never tried to tweak coz you don't have the time? I'm afraid you better find the time, friend. One Saturday evening is all you need to go thru the settings.
For me, I think it's worth the trouble, considering what the Hermes is capable of helping me to do.
As a starting point, you can go back to your vendor who should be knowledgeable enough to assist with the tweaks. Or you can try browsing thru my bookmarks here:

Unfortunately his provider (Orange) has yet to publish a WM6 Rom for his device...
Does that matter? Take a trip to the Hermes Mobile 6 forum...
So friends, the answer lies in WM6? Can I use the WM6 posted here in the upgrading section in my Orange SPV 3100? No seniors here, I don't expect this from Forum.xda developers seniors. Plz seniors this could be last time I am posting here in this forum if no help will come through. Help me seniors..

Hmm... is the device locked to Orange? Locked phones can't use the official "generic" ROM from the Dopod/HTC website?
Hope y'all will excuse my ignorance in this. My old Dopod 838 pro wasn't locked to Maxis (my provider). I downloaded my SEA-version WM6 upgrade from the HTC website. (surely there is an Indian version?)
Guys I just installed Black Magic WM6 few days back with radio version 1.40. I am very happy now with my cellphone. Really there is a lot of change in WM5 & WM6, which I couldn't fathom. Thanx everybody for Your support. I would suggest anybody facing such problems to plz upgrade their machine. Highly recommended with mrvanx.org help guide. Guys can You plz help me in finding the right version of radio. I mean I am using 1.40 is there any new version for my HTC TyTn device. it would be great...
Here you go - all the extracted Radio ROMs available for Hermes available for download. Read their respective threads if you want to know about their issues/performance.
I couldn't imagine using WM5 ever again. It would be like reverting back to dial up.
I have an HTC branded TyTN and even though the phone is on and the reception shows strong the calls are not getting through. Also when I try to make calls they are droped.
This does not happen all the time but very often. I miss about half of my calls.
Anybody has any ideas?
Need a little more info to help solve your problem.
1. Where are you located.
2. Who is your service Provider
3. Has the phone ever worked right with this provider
4, How long have you had the phone and was it new or used when you got it.
5. Does it still have the same Rom and Radio on it as when you got it.
6. What versions are those.
7. Have you tried a hard reset
Answer these for starters and let's see what we can do to help you out.
I am located in Cyprus and the service provider is cytamobile-vodafone. The phone was purchased from expansys.com.cy
It worked fine for more than a year. Although this particular problem occured very rarely during the first year.
I know of at least one more person who experienced this problem for a short period of time but it was sorted out on its own.
The only update I made to the phone was installing Windows mobile 6 from the official HTC website. The phone worked fine for a few months after the update.
No other update of any rom was made.
I tried a hard reset but it did not help.
OK, and thanks for the response. Based on what you have said, my only other suggestion would be to check your version of radio installed. If you are unfamiliar with how to do that, it appears on the screen at every reboot, or, you can go to settings, device info and it is listed there. I am unfamiliar with service Providers in Cyprus, so I would suggest doing a search of the forums to see if you can find another user with your service provider and a similar phone to see which radio works best for them. If I remember right, the WM6 update from the HTC site, does flash a new radio also, and that may be the problem. If you can't find anything, start a new thread with a title like best radio for cytamobile-vodafone in Cyprus, and hopefully you will only get relevant responses from fellow countrymen.
Does anyone else have any ideas to help this fellow XDAer out? Sorry I couldn't be more help.
thank a lot steve
