hi all, i'm Davide from Italy.
I have to buy a new GSM PDA. I would like to have a suggestion if buy S100 or 2020.
What's are the differences ? I read the description without find big differences.
Does they works fine as GSM mobile phone ? I mean for reception, voice quality, contacts management. I'm coming from Nokia 6600 - 7610, don't love so much Symbian os.
Many thanks
Davide
Hello, this is my first post, :roll: and as you can see in the topic it's my first himalaya, i have bought a used himalaya (M1000) A.K.A. XdaII with a broken screen , i have bought one Digitizer & LCD screen so i can't wait until it arrives so that i can play with it .
I have found this site when i was looking for a way to open the Pda, so i registered and i have found one huge comunity that i am glad to be apart, hope i can help somebody later when i know a bit more about this awsome machine.
So i would like ask for help to all you guy's and gal's, what should i install when i have repaired the Pda? What O.S. (wm 2k5 or wm 2k3 se), what cool apps and i am thinking of buying an sd card for wireless (to do a bit of war driving, and surf the net at home) so i would also like to know what kind of sd card are compatible with the himalaya, i have read that the scandisk with 256 mg isn't compatible in the 2k3 se but is it compatible in the 2k5 :? ??
Well thank's to all that read this post !

OK, so I am looking to buy a Jam. I am in the UK and currently carry around an IPAQ with TOMTOM on for the car, a Nokia mobile phone and a Blackberry for my work email.
I've been reading these threads for some time and see there are some problems and no one can get the Blackberry client to work. But it could still save me two of the devices I currently have (phone / tomtom).
Which GPS devices are you using with the Jam and TomTom, are you happy with them and how much were they (in UK)?
Can I use bluetooth headset and bluetooth GPS with TOMTOM at the same time? e.g. if I am driving and tomtom is nagivating me, can I make and receive calls still?
How good is it as a phone? Is sound quality ok? I will be using it for work so can't afford to have something that isn't reliable and will annoy my customers!
Is there anything else coming along in the short term I should wait for instead of getting the Jam?
From your wealth of experience, do you recommend I get one or wait?
Will is work in America? My company is based in Boston and I travel there sometimes so it would need to work out there too.
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
I would wait for a similar device that ships with the new Windows Mobile 5. As it stands, there will be no official release of the OS for the Magician :-(
When released in September, the ETEN M600 will be a very good alternative.
(Hope HTC, imate, etc. read these forums!!!)
Just found this: http://www.mobile-review.com/exhibition/computex-2005-smarts-en.shtml
Looks like the R-Ten M600 might be the one I wait for as it has WM 5.0 and WiFi. Unless HTC release a new Magician.
You guys mean ETEN M600 ? But in another thread here they were saying Eten M500 is good enough... ?
To All
I’ve been using the HOLUX gr 230 for more than a year in my XDA II using Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 with Destinator 3.075.
I never had any problems using it.
Last month I bought an i-mate JasJar that comes with original Mobile 5.0.
The Bluetooth seems to work fine because I’m using a Jabra 250V and if I turn it off and turn it on again, Windows recognize that the Jabra is on and work fine.
As you see in “display_2.bmp”, HOLUX work fine in the JasJar, with Destinator 3.075 see on “display_5.bmp”.
But, if I turn off and on again, It appears a message on the display: Cannot open the COMPORT as you can see on “display_1.bmp”.
Why it appears a “?” on the left side of HOLUX? (as you can see on “display_3.bmp”).
It the “display_4.bmp” you can see the HOLUX is working in COM 4.
Have somebody already tested HOLUX GR 230 on a i-Mate JasJar, or similar product using Windows Mobile 5.0?
Best regards,
Jose
This might be a slightly 'dumb' question, but - how did u manage to work fine with WM5 for a year, when it only came out officially just a few weeks back?
IF u did actually use WM5, and not something else branded as such (and I am giving u the benefit of my doubts here) - then MAYBE it was an unofficial and/or unfinished product/version, which might explain your current problems.
I have just bought the Holux 236 which I assume uses the same drivers as the 230, and also had some troubles, but haven't really manged to find time to deal with it yet - If I have any solutions in the near future I will let you know.
Good Luck!

Hello...
first- excuse me for my bad english, i am from czech republic
i would like to registrate this category in HTC section. The name of this category is "HTC CHARMER/Qtek 110/MDA Compact II"
This all three names are for one PDA/MDA.
Please, answe me on mail s[email protected] or ICQ 114625013
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_PhoneModels
Looks like the Qtec 110 is a Magician
Why dont you just say that you dont want a Charmer sub forum. I have seen a couple of sarcastic comments on this already about people posting Charmer questions. They have to post here, they have no-where else to post questions.
A Charmer sub forum would be helpful, the device is different from the Magician, even if it looks the same.
I like my Charmer, it works well. I have problems with it sometimes and I would like to post, I have not though mainly due to 'processor snobbery' that sometimes creeps into this forum. Thats sad, because XDA Developers is a brilliant site and is sometimes let down by sarcasm.

A2DP Bluetooth
I also have an MDA Compact II (charmer) and find it difficult to find specific advice for this model on the forum. I used to have an imate jam (magician) and was able to install a simple bluetooth stack patch that worked perfectly and allowed me to use my logitech BT headphones.
I cannot find any similar patch for the charmer on this site to allow me to upgrade the useless WM5 BT stack and allow A2DP support. Anyone else found a patch that works for this device?
Well, I can understand what others are thinking consider Charmer seems to have an extremly small user group as compared with others. The good thing, is however, Charmer is very like the Wizard `internally` and hence most of the Charmer problems can be solved using Wizard's stuff. As far as the wiki goes, it seems that Charmer is only sold on UK and German, hence the number of limited users.
And, wopffej, for a member with only 1 post, you are certainly making a huge sweeping statemnt
For others, read here.

Yep your right. A bit overblown! Anyway 2 posts now.
Still would be nice to have a Charmer sub forum.
Regards Jeff
I totally agree with all the comments here regarding a new sub forum. Admittedly some of the problems can be resolved using the replies from the magician but in theory there is a large charmer community out there. Folks with charmers want to speak to like minded people also with charmers. I have had a Wallaby, BA and now a Charmer and think it deserves its own forum. Thats me had my tuppence worth..thanks JD76..

Its totally bricked now, by installing a Wizard Rom youve trashed the bootloaders. you could of fixed it by using the tmobile mdac2 rom but it needs to go back to the manufacturer now. and dont try and blame me, you didnt follow the instructions i laid out for my debranded rom, it didnt work cos you installed it on aku1 bootloaders when i clearly put, it needs aku2 bootloaders and how to check if you had them already.
what is new with separate thread? this is discrimination :-D
Yeah lets get back to the original request, remove these spurious posts!!. How about a separate sub forum for us charmer owners??? surely someone must have the clout out there to make a decision. any backers....
who can create new category for mda charmer.... ? we must say to anybody, who has privilege for creating this category (mda compact II - charmer)
I take it none of the adminstrators are listening to us Charmer (aka Compact II) owners. Can anyone??? clarify if a sub category is possible????????????
Thanks....
i speak english very little... who is able to create this new subforum?
Check the main page, Charmer Forums now open!!
Good one Dave much appreciated. There is a lot of Charmer users out there. So after requesting and the administrators being so kind to create lets get posting!!!!!
