I've got my GPRS always on running MSN Messenger, which should also keep TCP/IP running. Lasts at least a day if it is mostly in standby and the reception is good.
Re: On the T-Mobile sites in Germany
I tried to upgrade with the MDAiii Blackberry s/w fromt-mobile.
I first got a country id error that I worked around
Then got a device data error that I again worked around ut thi sgave me error: 116 general error so I had to give up.
Need some more help on this one.
I got this from HTC directly:
"The new product with Blackberry Connect S/W will lunch to the market later. Due to contracts with our customers, we can't to disclose further information and details. As soon as product launch to market, you will find more info on that for sure."
So it looks like we need to wait!
Interesting posting. I am also VERY VERY interested in using BB for my MDAc. Are there any news regarding the "right" .exe which will run with our "Baby"? At the T-Mobile page are too much that I really don't know how to handle the right one. Maybe any User Guide available, please?
Very interesting
Very very interesting....
But I have a look at the t-mobile link and I couldn't see any mention of blackberry in that new rom - is it there?
I too eagerly await the arrival of BB connect for the Jam. I hate swapping my sim card back and forth between the JAM and Blackberry.
Any news or progress on this? I'd also like to install Blackberry Connect on my Magician.
I'm a little confused with Blackberry. I know it's concept as I used to sell it very briefly for Vodafone. If I set my Pocket Outlook to check for mail every 3 minutes and keep my GPRS on, what is the advantage of Blackberry besides saving me 2 and a half minutes of waiting for my e-mail?
the battery of blackberries last at least 10 times longer with gprs on whole day etc
BB Connect for Magician
Yes it is going to be finally out, most of the parties have already reached an agreement with RIM and Nokia would be launching BB Connect for their N9300 and N9500 later this month. From what I understand, BB connect for magician is currently undergoing testing by the telcos in Singapore.
FYI, the current BB connect that we are testing in Singapore is currently very secure as there is a global system wipe which can be sent via sms to your device to hardreset unit just in case it is lost.
o2techie, that is great news! Please keep us informed once an install is available.
Hi folks,
i found on a T-mobile Site in Austria the following Software for the magician: the long awaited blackberry connect software update
http://www.t-mobile.at//business/mobiles_arbeiten/download/bbconnect/index.html
Now I have the following question: Does this software work also for the German verison. I am unable to ask T-Mobile Germany, since I do not have an T-Mobile phone number.
Thanks for your help.
What benefit would Blackberry provide, except for the push email concept we already got through the latest Exchange server update?

The long awaited answer, at least for me is yes, Yes YES! it works!!! BUT there are a few drawbacks. Read the rest of the post before downloading the software.
Firstly the website warns very specifically to download only the German update for germany and the austrian update for austrian mdac's. otherwise the compact could break and they probably wouldn't refund.
As far as I know it only works on the t-mobile system, i have no idea about Vodafone or O²
The compact gets a new rom:
Rom Version now is 1.13.01 GER and ROM date is 08/18/05
ExtRom becomes 1.13.130.
Installing the client software is easy setting it up not quite so easy, (at least for me). The Blackberry (BB) Client software then gives the compact its own blackberry id which you have to register at www.instantemail.t-mobile.de. - Again this only works for the German T-mobile system (as its a german website).
Also don't forget to have the blackberry push service set up for you by t-mobile. I messed around with this for a week before getting it to work properly. The T-mobile support couldn't help because the software has not been released here yet.
I am so pleased that this works. I, like alot of others, have been waiting for this since the beginning of the year. Finally the Compact is the all round machine that it was meant to be.

I think people want this cos it's the only thing some other people have over us magician owners. Honestly I can't see how it would be any improvement.
What's annoying me, though, is that Vodafone Australia have stopped charging their GPRS by the kb and are now charging $1 every 5 minutes you're online! I guess this is better for all the kiddies downloading new games and stuff to their nokias but it means I can't automatically check for e-mails every 3 mins like I was.
When I rang them, they tried to sell me a blackberry handset and put me on their blackberry data+calls plan which isn't available for smart phone users. I told them to shove it cos my phone's heaps better than a blackberry and then asked them when they were bringing in the service for PDA/Smartphone users like Vodafone Germany's website has.
I swear, if I could see the girl at the other end of the phone line she would've had the most stupid, blank, glazed over look on her face! She had no idea!
there is already also an bb update on the german t-mobile site, i found it yesterday night surfing trhough the T-Mobile Site: http://www.t-mobile.de/business/blackberry/software
have fun...
anybody been o2 site, new look and I think new updates. But I cannot download them???
hmm dun think its an update. i just went to the site and didnt see any new new ROMs.
On the applications page it makes a direct reference to push emails... This is only in the latest rom's so they must be planning a release soon surely? Otherwise why mention it?
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaExecApps.aspx
The very last phrase say:
The upgraded software for Microsoft Windows Mobile® allowing push email is coming soon.
(complitly scroll down, you'll see it)
;-)
what the heck is push e-mail anyway?
What other updates do you recon we can expect from O2?

push email makes pocket outlook work in a similar manner to blackberry devices, where email is "delivered" to your pda.
Aside from that we'll probably get nothing more than is already available in the latest rom's from other suppliers, though we can always hope for stereo bluetooth
i was hoping for the Wifi being fixed so its not like a 56k modem.
Oh well.....
JAmes
web page lovely. still no ******g Rom update. o2 are slack.
Customer service is crap.
IT people at o2 know nothing.
No a2dp in next rom.
10 times more expensive on unlimted data than Tmobile. 75quid vs 7.50. no wonder they can afford such a swanky new web site.
o2 are ***k. I'm off to tmobile in 34 days and counting.
34 day and counting
Good luck CRJL, still got 15 months left on mine contract. sign up to 02 and flipping T-mobile came out with web and walk. oh well i just keep paying.
Unlucky, I've not had many problems that cant be fixed by browsing on here, but i'm not using the mobile-internet stuff at all and are getting it on o2 employee cash cause of my girlfriend, but they do hold back on Rom and Radio updates to the general public and the product itself still feels like its beta hardware with so many of them failing, thought I was due a 3rd one there for a bit but the bug went away.

Guys, just to let you know (unless you've figured this out/posted it above and I did not spot it):
Go to the Software upgrade page of any device:
e.g http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaExecSoftware.aspx
And then add 'download' to access the Updates:
i.e http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaExecSoftwareDownload.aspx
Such a sly... no IMEI needed
Hope that helps
Cya
Looks like they have spotted this one.... it doesn't work any more, or maybe the pages are offline right now.
They seem to be doing a lot of work on the web site just recently ... I wonder why :?: :lol:
so has anyone managed to download then? and can you post them here?
Looks like they've put a check on the download page to see if you've actually done the IMEI check.
I've just gone through the check myself, and there's no check (as of yet) on the actual download link
http://xda.o2.co.uk/downloads/Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v113188.exe
(edit add - it's still an ancent ROM mind you)
Now the index page for the site is showing a 403: You are not authorized to view this page message. Hmmmmm.... *strokes* beard.
Just what is wrong with providing your IMEI? AFAIK it's just to make sure you're not trying to get the Exec ROM for the wrong device. O2 already know you've got an Exec - it says so on your account - and they know your device's IMEI.
As for ROM upgrades - use the latest QTek or IMate ROM. The QTek works well for me.
It's a PITA (albeit a minor one) to go through settings, open up the info screen, and type it in.
It's also a phone number check, so if you've got an Exec on a different network you can't get the updated rom. Or if you've got an MDA Pro etc then you can't get it as well.
Only 3 people on this entire thread are not on O2.
And you've wasted more time moaning about the O2 website than it would take to find your IMEI. Which is literally 5 taps of your stylus.
Besides which, the O2 ROM is crap, and the next O2 ROM will probably be just as crap, so there's probably not a great deal of point waiting for the next O2 ROM anyway, or using an O2 ROM on a device that isn't connected to O2. Unless you actually use O2 Active in which case you're doomed to use the current O2 ROM until O2 finally get an AKU2 ROM out. Which could be months away. FWIW you could probably copy the O2 customization crap out of the original ExtROM and install it over the top of a QTek/IMate ROM which would give you what you want from your device without having to wait for O2 or go through the hideously complex process of tapping your screen in 5 places and reading a number.
Like with any modern day phone you can just dial *#06# to find out your imei
Yeah but then you have to press 8 buttons: Phone, Fn, *, #, 0, 6, Fn, #
:roll:
(or 1 button & 5 screen taps - technically the System Info is still the more 'efficient')
I want to get the ROM updated as my GPS is slow to load and I was told that updating the ROM will sort this out.
I haven't done this before on the XDA (have on HP iPac) so I get the idea. Having reading through many posts I am totally confused as to what I should be doing.
I have downloaded and installed Artemis_USPL and I get everything in order - however it doesn't report current ROM version and doesn't update (Active Sync seem to drop connection).
All I want to do is update the ROM to the latest version.
Therefore I want to know where I can get the latest O2 Rom for WM5, and what software I should be using to make the update.
Many thanks for any help
Eddie
(BTW - I am happy with WM5, however if I can kill 2 birds with one stone and get on to an English version of WM6 I would like to do that as well!)
losing sync
got the same problem here
Have you tried waiting the screen willgo either white or black for a period.
When using USPL it doesnt alter the device data or appearance just the CID status.
If you follow the idiots guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311650
you should have no problems.
I have UK O2 Orbit and no problems at all as I said follow the guide and will work sometimes it seems to be taking ages and doing nothing but trust me for me it gets there.
o2 are doing WM6 updates - just take it to the store....
Thanks for the reply.
I did follow the idiots guide as mentioned, and having working in IT for 10 years found it simple enough to follow. Didn't change the fact that I couldn't get passed the "dropped" used connection and no update!
What I then did was ring o2 who did have a clue and then I rang the XDA (o2) dedicated service center.
The girl on the phone went and checked with the techs and rang me back to confirm they are installing WM6 on all XDA's that get sent back, and that the update is free!
With this information I went to my local o2 store who accepted the phone for software upgrade to WM6 and told me it will be back with me on Thursday of next week.
Problem sorted - let them do it......
Wishfull thinking....please check when they return the device...may have the SD Card with the flashed ROM on it hee hee hee...!

NO XP!
I did ask the service center direct - if you want to check give them a call on 01603 269901 - XDA2 warranty returns line.
Also I rang o2 twice on 0800 5874715 and on both occasions they confirmed they are supporting it from 23/27 of this month - so that all ties in nicely.
I will let you know when mine returns if it works and if they have upgraded the ROM etc.....
They are indeed upgrading all retuned devices with WM6. That is for sure.
I got my XDA Orbit Back from o2 yesterday after 6 days.
It has been updated (ROM, GSM etc) and has WM 6 Pro on it.
Sat Nav is still very slow to kick in - what else can I do to speed up the connection?

Have you ensured that QuickGPS is up to date?
Also when you run the GPS ensure u are static while it locates you.
Also overclock the Orbit slightly?
Hope this helps
Sometime over the weekend Orange UK have released a new update for the SPV M3100.
Although the software update page still shows the April 07 update, if you click the "downloads & support" tab the top link will download the new October 07 update (50.7mb).
Download Link http://www.orange.co.uk/business/downloads/SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_1007.exe
UPDATE: This is not the awaited Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade, but another, seemingly pointless Windows Mobile 5.0 release.
UPDATE 2: Just been phoned by Orange UK support to an e-mail I sent to them at the end of last week...they still protest that there will be no official Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade released by Orange UK for the SPV M3100...even thought a number of us have has e-mails to the contrary. The data team will be phoning me back leter this evening once I get home from work...and will update you all with the result of the conversation.
Updates 3 & 4
Update 3
Orange UK customer support rung 4 times on Monday night, with the final call being escalated to the department manager. Every excuse under the sun was made for them not to give me the information I was requesting:
"Didn't know what it was..."
"Can't find your request..." etc.
The department manager said he'd contact the data team to find out what was going on...why they didn't do this in the first place is beyond me.
Update 4
The support department manager phoned to 6pm last night to say he hadn't any news as of yet from the data team, and that he wouldn't be in the office on Wednesday (today) and that he will contact me tomorrow...
Watch this space...
I'm watching I'm watching!
This update enables HSDPA. Hers's the complete list:
1) Phase in Orange New Security Policy.
2) Call management - when user tries to switch to a second incoming call the incoming caller no longer gets the engaged tone.
3) Correction of issue related to viewing streaming video in full screen mode.
4) Phase in the new MMS version to fix SMIL format compatibility issue.
5) The Line 2 VMI issue is fixed in this ROM.
6) The changes to US timezones are included in this ROM.
7) Phase in the SAP-Profile application in the Accessory folder to fix the Nokia 616 Carkit issue.
8) Phase in the new Dialer application.
9) Enable Vista support.
10) Enhancements to SPV M3100 device performance and stability.
11) HSDPA support is enabled.

2, 8, 10 and 11 are of interest to me. What is "Orange New Security Policy" all about?
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for WM6 for the M3100 but this is the second update they have released to you never know. Here's hoping.
Update 5
Well, Thursday came and went...so did Friday, Saturday & Sunday. And still no return phone call from Orange
In the end, I phoned them on Monday evening when I got home from work...to the usual answer "Sorry, don't know anything about it."...spent 15 minutes re-outlining the problem and the issues with the current support structure Orange UK have adopted.
The support agent then comes back with "Oh, I've found your previous support call details..." (I wasted 15 minutes due to incompetence) "...but the person you were speaking to previously, works in another office and cannot transfer your call. I will have to email him to get him to phone you back."
I was fuming at this point, and told her I expected the return phone call by the close of the support hours...and surprise, surprise I didn't!!!
I'll give them until 18:00 tonight before I phone them back again...
Sherlock...any updates on this?
Update 6
Well, I had to phone Orange again last night...as I've still had no phone call from the person I spoke to last week. Spoke to a very nice lass who, after I again had to explain what was my support request, phoned me back 15 minutes after my original call with an update...
and I quote "The update would be too big for our website..." as she was speaking about the Orange UK Home Page website and not the Orange Business Services - homepage
This was ok, as when I re-explained the support call I forgot to mention the all updates for the SPV M3100 were held on the business site and not the normal site.
So, the up-shot of all this is...I will have to wait for her to get back to me next week with more information...when she has come back from her 3 day off rotation (fri, sat & sun) and had change to chase up the info from the business section.
One thing she did admit though was that "Orange are very slow at releasing anything..." which we all new anyway.
Will post any new information when I receive it...
Having put on the latest upgrade
(Hi Paul, I think we conversed on pocket gps !)
How do I go about downgrading the phone back to the version originally on the phone 13 months ago ?.
I can't believe how much a simple upgrade could scr*w up my phone. Yes the basics work but I only get the BT handsfree with one way audio (no TX only RX) My TTOne will now not communicate with phone to do traffic updates which it has done perfectly for months and the M3100 has crashed 6 times today in a matter of 4 hours....Arrrrrrr!!!
Original firmware please, pretty please, look I'm now grovelling...anyone ?
Next step see if I can get a phone upgrade after 13 1/2 months from orange in a 18 month contract ?
Phil
what is Radio version number in this ROM ?

Hi Phil,
Yes...it's me. Mike Alder can be seen around these parts too.
Sorry to hear that you've had problems. The latest ROM has been just fine for me.
Have a look at WM6...that could (possibly) solve your problems. I'm currently toying with the idea of installing the Schaps 4.01 WM6 ROM.
Hi Paul,
small world. or should that be small WWW
Would be handy to have a previous version of firmware to roll back to should I need it..
Tried a little update to solve a problem with the BT and tomtom unit I found on here but still no joy... Ah well, technology is great (when it does as it's told !!)
Right must let this thread return to it's originators request, don't want to hijack it..
Cheers Phil
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:
http://del.icio.us/Arbitrageur/PPC
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.
