ok, noob question
can i install wm5 or wm6 on my pda2k evdo?. I know that it has been said no I cant, but I know that it can be installed on pda2k.
firstly, I assume this is because cdma is not supported in the pda2k release, but since cdma is dead in oz, its just a pda now.
secondly, i dont need it as a phone, (data charges are too high here, i'd be bankrupt in a day )
so the question remains, can it be done if you ignore the fact its cdma and only want it for a pda?

I Have to restart phone to regain GPRS connetion every now and then. I have radio version 1.01.00 and rom version 1.03.00 WWE. My provider is Vodafone in sweden.
If I go to flight mode and back to normal then I can connect to GPRS again. Should I uppgrade my I-Mate to get it to work? Any Ideas what to do?
I've heard of people with similar problems, you need to upgrade your Rom, if you wanna stay relatively safe, upgrade to:
Rom Version: 1.72.00WWE
U can get this from club imate
I'm afraid I can´t find the rom on the Imate Club site. But you belive my problem will be solved by uppgrading the rom right? I´ll have to search for it then. ;c) Thanks.
I sure don't see any version 1.72 on Club iMate at JAM Device Support. The latest available upgrade I see is:
Radio 1.01.00
ROM 1.03.143 WWE
Where do you see version 1.72?
Frank
I believe he's referring to the wrong device. 1.72 was for the I-Mate Pocket PC - not the Jam.
Ok. I have posted a case to Imate and they where about to send a file to correct the problem but I got an emty mail.
Imate support don't know what this is. I'm back on the hunt. Anybody else having the same problem with theirs? Please let me know in this thred
Sincere Apologies, I was in fact dreferring to the I-mate....didnt realise this thread was under magician
Got an ansver from Imate. They sent me an PDF file where they showed me how to set up the GPRS connection. The problem is, been there and done that. I’m totally lost here. Is it only me who has this problem with “magican” and Vodafone? (In Sweden). Frustrating! ;c(
Note: With my P800 and the same location and same SIM = no probem at all.
I have the exact same problem with Vodafone gprs in Sweden
Hi Robert
I have the exact same problem with GPRS. I am also a customer of Vodafone in Sweden. I have this problem regardless of the device I am using. I have been running Qtek 2020, 8010, 9090 and S100 (magician) devices with the same problem for quite a while now.
I have started to think that this is not a device problem. It is probably a problem with Vodafone GPRS. I have contacted their tech support a couple of times about this. So far we have tried disabling/reenabling GPRS on my account and switching to new Sim-cards. None of this has worked so far.
I am using their twin cards service switching between different phones, I am not sure if this has anything to do with the problem.
best regards
Christofer
Thanks a lot for giving me this feedback. I'll talk to Vodafone right away.
Solution: I know that Telia supports the magican device because they have them for sale. My solution was to call Telia and tell them that I wanted to use them instead. Its a covards solution but Imate blames Vodafone and Vodafone blames Imate.
I have an old Qtek1010 on Telia, and it is behaving just like your Magician on Vodaphone. Sometimes I have to actually remove the SIM and put it back in again to be able to reconnect.
Another question about the Magician and GPRS. I have read on a couple of forums that the Magician will not keep the GPRS connection alive when in "sleep mode". Is this true? If so I may have to quickly cancel my order...

My gprs connection seems to stay connected ok even when the machine is switched "off". I have an imate jam on o2 in the UK.
I don't know if it stays on forever because i tend to log off gprs so i can go on line through bluetooth.
Simon
This is really bad news. I thought that since Telia do have thoose phones for sale they should have tested them in the net. In that case I should start thinking of going back to my old P800 instead of changing provider.
I Wonder if there are someone in here who it works for in sweden. Please let me know.
I have several collegues who are not experiencing these problems with Qtek devices on Vodafone network. So it does not seem to be a general problem.

I just talked to Telia today as my GPRS broke down totally and there was just nothing that would make it connect. The person I talked to was very helpful and professional and we managed to isolate the problem to my SIM card. Being a brand new SIM I received just two weeks ago I though that just anything but the SIM would be more probable. It was very evident though as my SIM would not work with GPRS in neither mine nor a colleauges phone but the colleauges SIM would work just fine in both.
My new SIM will arrive on monday, and then hopefully it will not be too long before my S100 arrives as well
Ok, thats somewhat god news. Then there is hope to accually use this expensive piece of toy as it is suppose to.
Some input…
I have a Qtek S100 and run it with Telia. Works just fine, never have to reset or remove the SIM. However, I have problem with the GPRS to disconnect when synchronized with my PC and when using the phone. Have heard that an app called GPRS Keep Alive would solve that problem, haven’t tried it yet.

It will not. For two reasons:
1. There can only be one network connection at a time, and the activesync connection counts as a network connection (you can use network passthrough to use the activesync connection for network access from the PPC).
2. You can not have a GSM voice connection and an active GPRS connection simultaneously because they share the same radio hardware. Simultaneous GPRS and Voice would need two radios in the phone, and although it has been part of the GSM specification for quite some time there are no such device available on the consumer market yet.
Hi all.
Yesterday I left "Droptus" ( Optus ) and joined 3. When I signed up the lady said my phone would be compatible (I-Mate JasJam), just requires a set up and showed me where to get some guides from.
I went back in today and asked for help setting it up as the guides weren't of much use. The Gentlemen their said as it's a Telstra Phone It's not compatible for their 3G Network ( It's ok to make calls and SMS's on though)
Long story short, he gave me the number to HTC, told me to call them and get them to send me the Dopod 838Pro ROM of WM5 and re flash it to get it working. However I think this is just silly, I don't think having a diffrent rom of the same thing will or will not allow me to access the 3G network on 3. I believe it's just setting it up under the proxy, domain and I.P. Settings.
I was considering Flashing it with Dopod WM6 Rom, However I've heard it may void the warranty. ( is it possible to downgrade back to WM5 if something does go wrong?)
So where should I go from here? I wish to stay with 3, I just wish to get all this set up so I can use my phone to it's potential. (nor do I want to go with Telstra.)
Suggestions?
Thanks for reading.
Ok well I decided to upgrade to WM6 anyway, The Dopod one didn't seem to work so I used "Shamanix_Grass_v1.3_4MB.exe"
All I need to do now is set it up ( I hope)

i got told the same... the guy signed me up to three, but then was told it wasn't compatible.
long story short after getting the run around from three... i just manually entered in the settings and all is good.
if your interested for the settings, i can probably find them again and get ya the link of the ones that worked for me.
mine was a telstra imate... but since upgraded to blacksatin wm6
Gentlemen / ladies
first off i would like to thank this site for all its help so far , i have installed colonels rom and i am delighted with it , however i have a small question.
i purchased the sprint mogul while visiting the states last week as i needed a pda and it seemed to fit all my desires , however upon bringing it home i noticed that there was no simcard slot so i cant use it here in Ireland (we seem to be a bit behind the times ) spoke to a rep here and i was told the simcard is inbuilt and it would need to go back to htc to be changed , now that isnt really feasible at the moment so i was wondering if it was possible for me to change it out or if that is even possible , i dont mind taking it apart but i can find no info on where the sim goes or if there even is one , sooooooo just wondering is it possible ?
thanks again for all the help i have recived from other threads on upgrading and thanks to the colonel for releasing a class rom
regards
To the best of my knowledge, CDMA phones don't use sim cards at all. I could be wrong.

Uh, for in Ireland you have a paperweight. There is no CDMA outside North America. There is no sim in the Mogul, and nothing in it can be reprogrammed to make it work on GSM. The entire radio portion of the phone is made for CDMA and specifically Sprint.
Sorry, but you'd be better off ebaying it and getting a GSM device.

To my knowledge, this statement isn't entirely true, as I believe that South Korea and maybe China has CDMA networks...but I could be wrong...
Everything else you stated is right on though!
Oh boy.
In a nutshell:
2 major types of wireless protocols:
GSM and CDMA.
GSM is a sim-card based allowing phone portability, and exists on a world-wide market. The sim card contains your identity, and switching it into another phone causes your identity to follow.
CDMA is phone-based, meaning every phone has a unique ID that broadcasts to the tower. That ID (sort of like the VIN number on a car) exists on only your phone, and represents your ID on the network. This actually existed long before GSM and SIM-cards, and is at a bit of a disadvantage because you can't switch phones whenver you want. Your provider has to switch it for you.
Here in the US, we have both CDMA and GSM networks now, however CDMA has been around longer, and so it is still arguably the more common technology. Lately, GSM has been catching up, but over in Europe GSM has always been around and CDMA is virtually non-existant.
Living in Ireland, I beleive that all networks are GSM, which means SIM-card based. So, you probably didn't know that there were other types of technology that weren't compatible! If anything, we here in the US are "behind the times" because we're still using an antiquated ID system as opposed to SIM cards!
HTC makes a GSM version of these devices as well, which you should consider. They are known as the Tytn and the Kaiser (our Mogul/Titan sort of comes in between, although most closely resembling the Kaiser in hardware). Next time you want to buy a phone in the US, make sure its GSM and unlocked first!
Hope this clears things up!
You should have 30 days to send back the mogul and get out of your contract. The phone will not work outside of North America. Take a look at the HTC Kaiser,its also sold as the AT&T Tilt. Its a GSM device that is very similar to the Mogul.
If you told Sprint that you were going to be going back to Ireland, I wonder why they didn't sell you the Samsung IP-830W, which works on the Sprint CDMA network in the states, but can be used on GSM/GPRS networks everyplace else.
If you can't get a full refund, maybe you can exchange the Mogul for that?
I think it's a little behind the times, but the IP830 is a pretty good phone and has a smaller slide out QWERTY keyboard.
thank you for the information , just need to find that damn receipt now and give radioshack a call , see about a swap for the tilt ,
regards
sigghhh
well it seems radioshack cant help . unless i brought it back to the store i purchased it in , and that cant really happen .
anywhoooo thanks all for the help ,
but i have just one other ,
is it possible to synq my titan with another type of phone i.e nokia 6610 and have the titan act as the handsfree ? via bluetooth?
basically like the satnavs where you have the dialer but it uses your phone to connect , seems like a strange request but this would at least allow me to use the phone features
thanks in advance
I figured i would ask before i got to deep.
i have a cdma ppc6600 (Harrier) i searched and read that this is for gsm only
My question is that because of the network itself or is it whats in side the unit?
My Harrier is no longer connected to the network, so i dont care if the phone or mail or whatever aspects work at all, i just want to play with it and get it to 6.1, i always thought that the only differences between a gsm and a cdma phone is the radio/phone aspects of the unit and the parts required to get it that to work, but not the pda area of it, am i mistaking?
harrier has no WM5 or WM6 why cause thats how it is, what you can do is find a broken lcd siemens sx66 and take its motherboard and put it on your harrier.
look guys i have a htc shift cdma
all i need is to enable the phone so i can make calls

also would like to hear from some of the hackers is it supper hard to crack cdma am i wasting my time with this should i get a sim version please help thanks
i looked on ebay there are only two of these red backberrys one or $299 and one for $399 ill even toss in free shiping in the lower 48 states
ok first the hardspl has already been done by comex second I have already posted in the forms to hack the phone to make calls unable to receive. sorry no rom developed because I don't know how to cook use the search function using the word CDMA and you should find it I tried long and hard at getting bluetooth and sd card to work but this looks like it is going to require a hardware mod. third even with being able to make phone calls sprint has it in their inventory that this is a data only device and will not change it but yes maybe if you can get the esn # changed you can connect it on sprint network but the phone will work on other CDMA carrier's network I have one on cricKet working with phone calls and headset

thanks for the reply
i did see were you and comex were working on it but there was never a link to the hardspl or the rom the two of you were working on
i also seen the other xda thread were some one said they had a rom and every one who used it had nothen but problems
same thing with the rest of of the threads ive seen on the net
as far as the bluetooth its a softwear thing
the cdma shift can do every thing the sim card one can do
the problem is theres not alot of cdma owners out there so the hackers dont spend the time on it that it needs to work the bugs out
if we can get a number of guys together willing to chip in some one might think its worth there time

also if you could please post the hardspl and rom that you do have
along with the things it will and wont do to give all the cooks out there a base to work with thanks
just simply follow the instructions posted at the begining of this thread you dont really need to download anything except the Shift Packs and a registry editor you don't even need to download the hardspl to make this work and again I state there is nothin NOTHING TO FLASH NO ROM THE ROM IN THE ZIP FOLDER IS ONE I WAS PLAYING WITH THAT AGAIN DOSE NOT WORK THE ONLY ORGINAL ROM IN THE FOLDER IS ONE I GOT FROM COMEX WHICH IS THE ORGINAL CDMA ROM WITH SOME FUNKY NAME LIKE ATLANTIS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. now the only real diffrance between the cdma and the gsm is CDMA gps dose not work to know working drivers inclueding the one for GSM and a the headset and mic works right after the hack "delete Block Voice_MO" so in some ways better the only reason i belive hardware mod will probaly be needed for SD_card and Bluetooth is because those are located on the pc side of the board so without power the cant even have the chance of being seen by snapvue unless the pc side is on. I will state again FLASH nothing.
