Hello People,
Last Year, i bought the Nokia 6630, wicked phone but too big for me, i like everything small, compact and stylish and i was starting university in September - my program is already giving me a wireless networked laptop - so i was looking to buy something new, so i thought why not go for a pda and a phone but then i was like why all the hassle and why not just invest in a good pda phone which will include mp3 player, video player and an organizer. I'm really interested in the I-Mate Jam. I'm going to India and Saudi in about 15 days and will be back by Sept. 1 - So people, don't suggest me to buy something which is coming out End of Sept. I have some questions - Can Someone please answer them? Thank You. (P.S : I'm a newbie in Pocket Pc)
1) What would be the perfect bluetooth headset for this pda? (i was looking at the Sony Ericsson HBH-662 - if there's anything better out there, please do give me your suggestions.
2) I noticed the camera quality sucks, is there any upgrade or software fix for this?
3) Any Imate Jam Users, can you please tell me how you like this device and if it has any problems whatsoever. (Software or Hardware Problems) In Other Words, Do You Guys Love / Like / Dislike / Hate the device? Does It do everything you want it to do?
4) Can some of you tell me what are some really popular and useful applications for these devices? (Since i'm in here, i could get the cracked apps - so can someone tell me some really good apps to get it)
5) What could be an ideal WiFi SD Card (Cheap, Good Quality & Works Properly without any problems & Shouldn't Stick Out)
6) What are some good accessories i should be looking at?
7) Is there an upgrade possible to the Windows Mobile 5.0?
Also, Can we put nice wallpapers on the jam ?
9) Can We Set Mp3s as Ring Tones & Use our own customized Sms Tones like the Nokia's?
10) Can I play full screen movies on the pocket pc - like use smart movie just like i did for Nokia 6630?
11) How is the mp3 sound quality on the Jam? (This is a very important factor to me - i'm talking about the original headphones which come with the Jam Unit - how are they? - also, i'm aware of the 2.5mm to 3.5 mm jack so please dont tell me about that - im just wondering about the original head phones? when compared to the headphones for example Nokia 6630)
12) Any other suggestions, I'd really appreciate.
I guess that's my questions for now. If you could answer them, it'd be great - i'd really appreciate the time. Thank You
You can find almost all answers here by using the search.
alright, thanks - if i have any further questions, i'll ask
Jam doesn't have Wi-Fi built in.
No 3GP upgrade.
WM2005 is not available.
Photo Contacts is buggy.
SPB Software is a great Package for this Application including Resco Products.
I'd choose a JAM over a Nokia, this phone is just too power packed to pass.
Hi all,
This is my first post in this site, and I hope I will find help and meet nice people in this nice site.
I have some questions about "O2 XDA mini s", sorry if they are some repetetions, but I did my best not repeat.
1. What are the differences between "XDA mini s" and "imate k-jam"? this question has destroyed my mind thinking about it!!
for example "screen clearance, stlye, performance, more solid, etc"
I know they have the same specifications,but I dont beleive they are exactly the same... Honestly, when I look at the kjam pictures on the net, I feel it is more shiny and stylish, although I have already ordered my "mini s" and it is on its way to me. (waiting)
2. Does the kjam ROM updates run perfectly on the "mini s"?
anyone installed this software on a mini s?
3. The kjam updates for other langauges, specifically Arabic version K-JAM_Arabic_2160901_21609102_20710_ship.exe, do they make the mobile locally arabic? I mean do they make the menues and OS messages appear in arabic (like changing the 'Start' into its arabic analogy word) (which I hate), or they just enable the mobile to read arabic text?? any risk to update ROM? is it likely that I will damage my mobile if I do so?
4. I am shipping my "O2 XDA mini s" to asia, and I know that a new ROM update was released from O2, but when I attemp to download, they request my O2 number, which I dont have cause I am outside uk, so how can I download this software from o2 site, or any other site??
5. Finally, about the stereo headsets that come with the mini s, I saw its picture, and it seems bad, its style is not comfortable with the ear, and I really hate this too, the k-jam version of the headsets is amazing, but what about the mp3 quality of the mini s headsets compared to the kjam?
and does the mini s headset feel comfortable when put in the ear??
Sorry for making questions so long, but I hope I will find some complete answers...
Thank you all
Hi, The kjam and o2 minis are almost identical in appearance, apart from badging. The quality is about the same - so you should not be dissapointed there.
As far as I know the kjam rom should work fine as long as the mini s is unlocked.
Sorry cant awnser other q's as i have a qtek - i use headphones from orange spv = they are good.
Thank you for ur reply,
you gave me a push forward, and I hope that O2 manufacturer is as good as imate..Thanks again
but what about other questions?? any answers guys??
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
I don't want to be so annoying, but it seems that nobody here has exact answers for my questions..
But, Does any body have useful links about those questions??
Any Ideas, opinions are very very welcome.
Thanks All and happy mobile phones day
Hi There,
I use a "modified" Xda Mini s that was O2 - I now use this rom: K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip - it's in english but certainly works fine and is much better on battery life - sound during calls is better and the signal strength appears improved.
It also removes all traces of O2 software. But you will need to unlock the phone using one of the unlock programmes readily available through this site. (All at your risk!!)
As regards to headsets - if you purely want to listen to music/podcasts then you can't beat those soft in ear headphones from sony IMHO - you will need to buy a jack step down adapter as the jack is smaller on the XDA than standard headphones. You can also do as I do and dowload an send audio to bluetooth program (I use BluetoothAudio) and at the touch of the screen it will send your sounds to your bluetooth headset - it will send music also but obviously you will only have mono hearing. Great for Podcasts as it still allows you to use the phone or answer incoming calls but doesn't have any annoying cables from or to it.
Hope this helps - just ask if you require any other information.
Regards,
Chris
Hi again,
Thanx for all the ones that tried to answer my questions
I need to ask some additional questions and I choose this topic to ask my questions coz I dont want to create many new topics, so the forum will not become bulky
1. What does the Extended ROM mean? why is it called extended?
2. I found in the ftp site Arabic Extended ROM for kjam, does this ROM enable the english versoin of kjam to read and write arabic text?? can it be installed on my XDA miini S device having O2 ROM on it (I want to enable arabic text on it)?????
3. I have not received my xda yet... but just a question, how is the mp3 sound quality of the XDA mini s (for example, compared with Sony Ericson K750i mp3 quality)? and can the Windows Media Player play WMA files with variable bit rate??
Thanx all
Hi
I'll explain what the situation is: I recently altered my carstereo system. I now have a carstereo that has my MDA Vario hooked up to it. Now I play mp3's and video's on my Vario and the sound goes through my sound system. (I'll post some pictures and a full spec soon). And while playing with it I had a great idea.
It should be possible to use my Orange C500 as a bluetooth romote control for my vario.
I know that there are bluetooth input devices around like keyboards and gamepads. so it should be possible to make an application that turns a HTC Typhoon in to a input device. Plus there are applications that use your bluetooth connection to vontrol your PC. so it should be possible.
Could someboddy PLEAAAASEEE help me with this?? I think I won't be the only one who could use this app.
Like I've said before. If I could program I'd gladly do it myself but I can't
so PPPPLLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEEEE someone help??

Hi everyone - just stumbled onto this forum in search of a few answers that I can't seem to find anywhere else (at least not all in one place...), but I'm guessing most of the people here should make short work of my questions.
I've just ordered an O2 XDA Neo, which should be here within the next three days or so - and I've got a few questions as to which software and accessories etc. I'll be needing. I'm a complete n00b when it comes to Windows Mobile, so a few of the questions may seem a bit obvious or stupid... sorry in advance!
1. Windows Mobile 5.0 vs. 6.0 - how big is the difference? What's the big advantage of 6.0? Is upgrading worth the trouble? Are the ROMs available on this forum legal?
2. I'd like a halfway decent video player - what would you guys recommend? What formats should I be aiming for? 320x240 is pretty obvious (does the Prophet do full screen without problems? i.e. rotated 90 degrees so that it fills the whole screen, etc.?). Is the proc fast enough to decode DivX/Xvid in that resolution? Or should I consider encoding in MPG format?
3. I want to use regular headphones (3.5mm jack, TRS) with the Prophet, so obviously I need an adaptor - does anyone know what the pin layout on the Prophet's 2.5mm jack is? Is a regular 2.5mm TRS => 3.5mm TRS converter enough? Or does it need to switch the layout around or something?
4. I've read that it isn't possible to switch off internet access via GPRS (which I'd actually like to do, since I'll only be using Internet while I'm in reach of a WLAN) - is this true? Any workarounds? The costs for GPRS here in Germany are outrageous, so I'd like to prevent any costly accidents ...
5. What's a decent music player for the Prophet? Preferably something with good playlists and ReplayGain...
6. How's the battery life? Is it worth getting a second battery (or two) and a charging station so that I can always carry a charged spare around with me?
7. Are there any decent instant messengers like GAIM for Windows Mobile? I'd like something that can do ICQ and MSN at the same time, if possible...
Well, that's it for now, but I'll probably think of some more later - thanks in advance!

Hi,
here are some anwsers I can bring you regarding to my experience with prophet.I own one for one year now.
1° > I used official prophet rom for more than 8 month (WM5 powered) and I deciced to upgrade to WM6 here.I swear you I'll never downgrade to wm5 again, this is really slow compared to cooked wm6 roms from here (especially Cross 4000x ones).
There is no BIG difference comparing wm5 and wm6, but wm6 is quite less buggy. (that does not mean that wm6 is not )
2° for video playing I highly recommend you the use of TCPMP (fast, stable, it can read many formats, even youtube videos with a plugin), no prb for full screen video ,just need to be around 240x320 sized. If you find your prophet is a little bit to slow, Proc can be overclocked with "battery status plugin" that you can find on this forum .Allows you to speed up around 247Mhz (180Mhz is ogirinal speed).
3°) i use a very regular converter i bought 5€ on the net. no problem with it.
4° never heard of this gprs problem ,I do connect to WLAN only, so I just desactivated ALL gprs connection .
5° TCPMP supports MP3 format too, but some of WM6 roms (like 4.0.0.0.5b) uses a plugin on today screen that allows you to play mp3 playlists easily.
6° As many pocket Pc's , battery life is quite short, consider that 3 days are the maximum you can reach, with normal use .
I do charge mine every 2 days. (good to know that you charge it on your pc via usb port too) The last roms cooked here do not drain too much. I highly recommend you the use of 4.0.0.0.5b cross (only with tuouchflo).
Wifi is highly greedy !
You also can find some 1800mA, 2500mA or even 3000mA batteries on the net, just search for google or ebay.Not tested this.
7°) There is an official msn messenger on wm5 and windows live messenger on wm6, didn't tried other !
hope that I could help you !
sorry for my frenglish.
Hi Ogre, thanks a lot! That's helped me a lot already...
However... any hints as to the legitimacy of the Windows Mobile 6.0 ROMs available here? How buggy are they exactly?
And another question - how does the Prophet handle Skype and other VoIP apps? Is it fast enough?
I own my Prophet for over a year.
I never upgraded to WM6 cause I was too chicken but I am considering it now that I here the versions stabilized.
Now as for "legitimacy" of the ROMs: HTC never did and never said they were planning an official WM6 ROM for the Prophet so you will not find a "legal" ROM anywhere.
That said you should know this:
If you by your phone form a cell company on a contract any modification even opening the ext. ROM (which is just a registry hack) will void warranty unless you put everything back as it was (which could be a problem on a malfunctioning phone).
What this means is - even if HTC ever does release an official ROM update for your phone you can not use it without voiding warranty and will have to depend on O2 to make their own version (which will not happen until HTC provides them with one).
As for Skype:
It seems to work ok for me (don't use it much) but only when I overclock to 260.
Otherwise the sound is crappy and the program hangs every now and then.
Hi, same thing here, one year owner, I'll try to complete the two other posts which are already good answers.

I'd highly recommand Mortplayer, but you could find it a little slow, so.... GS Player is a good (and still free) alternative.

It's always too low
I charge mine every night in day to day use, cause it wouldn't handle a second day of normal use (mp3 listening with BT headset, appts & tasks editing, some phone calls and sms typing/sending, and a bit of internet browing / emails)
I use the best battery available, 1800mh/a, check ebay for it around 20€ (I got a free charger with it). Higher batteries are bigger and need an extra cover.

I was using IM+ which did a good job, but just discovered the soft I was looking for since ages
Fring, it can do ICQ, MSN, google talk, Skype (!) and SIP at the same time !!!
It's free, still need development but is already VERY efficient.

niko
Hey everyone... thanks for the replies ... you've helped out a lot.
Downloading Fring right now (still waiting for that damned sms )...
Anyone else's SD card REALLY slow? I don't really have any other SD cards or even devices which use them, but my Kingston card is extremely slow - about 5 minutes to transfer 25MB via the cable... is my card incompatible with the phone? Or is that pretty much normal?
Transferring files via ActiveSync is slow. Also your device only has USB 1.1
If you want to transfer large files to your SD I recommend you get a USB 2 card reader - some sites sell them as cheap as 3$.
Alternatively try WM5STORAGE it improves a little on AS speed.
Hmmm, looks like I'll be getting a cardreader... why is this crap so expensive?
Thanks for all your help, everyone!

Hi,
1) has anyone any first hand experience with ANY HTC pda/phone that could autoanswer on ANY bluetooth headset
1a) my experience is NO ! (Verizon XV-6600, A&T Tilt)
2) Unless there is a yes answer to 1)....
how could this have gone unaddressed thru so many generation/models/reviews of PDA/phones ?
2a) I can't accept that this is a "feature".
Jeez, just about every "dumb" bluetooth mobile phone does it just fine.
3) For the individual(s) that offer directions to ->Settings, etc...
it doesn't work for bluetooth
4) For those that say Handsfree profile is required...
AT&T Tilt supossedly has Handsfree 1.5, and bluetooth autoanswer doesn't work !
5) This is a serious flaw/oversight/disability/etc. !
How many versions/releases from Harrier to Kaiser, to have not corrected this.
Someone from HTC please step up and address this. Please ?!
did you try PhoneAlarm.
it is possible to create a profile in phonealarm, and automaticly respond to an incoming phone call..also while using bluetooth
First step, run SAPSettings to activate the comunication between SIM an BT
Then Settings -> phone -> more -> automatic pickup is working for me.
Hi,
Neither SAP nor "bluetooth SIM access" were referenced at http://www.america.htc.com/support/tilt/docs/ATT_Tilt_English_GSG.pdf
Thanx anyhow.
The Tilt was already returned and I've stayed with the XV-6600 (bigger screen, coverage footprint, faster broadband, cpu "feels" faster, software/accessories investment).
I will correlate your advice with the XV-6600.
I'd like autoanswer to work, but more importantly...
I strongly feel HTC should address/correct this in their production.
Regards,
Can anyone make it work on their HTC phone ?
Hi,
Pardon the redundancy.
Omitted headset models from original post.
With HTC so visible in the PDA/phone
market, how is it that...
1) they probably don't have a unit which
can perform AUTOANSWER via any(?)
bluetooth headset
Tested (Verizon) Audiovox XV-6600
(HTC Harrier with camera)
phones: (AT&T Tilt) HTC 8925 (Kaiser)
headsets: BlueVoice, iPhono[063C],
Jabra BT110, Jabra BT200,
Logitech HS02-V07
Mobile Freedom,
Logitech HS03 V04 Traveller,
Motorola HS810,
Motorola S9 "Rokr",
Nokia BH-800, Nokia BH-900,
Nokia HS-37W, Z-E-N
2) no(?) review has ever pointed this out
3) there are a number of generations
between the models I tested,
I don't think any intermediate models
(e.g. PPC-6700) could AUTOANSWER either
How, has HTC missed this so
consistently ?
AUTOANSWER:
an incoming call will cause a handsfree headset to automatically connect to the caller within a specified number of rings and/or seconds, without wearer intervention (i.e. no buttons to push, nothing to touch).
OK, if you've read this... just try to make it work on your HTC pda/phone with any bluetooth headset you choose.
AutoAnswer is a standard feature on just about every smart or dumb phone.
So, I'm just asking for someone/anyone to confirm that it works as designed on ANY HTC pda/phones for any ONE or more bluetooth headsets.
The Sprint Mogul (PPC-6800 ?) is reputed to have undergone recent firmware upgrades adressing specifically bluetooth and other issues.
Try it !
I'm curious.
IF you get it to work, please post an affirmation to this thread of which models phone/headset were involved.

Yes...my Att 8125 aka HTC wizard and my Att 8225 aka HTC Hermes...my advice to you...learn how to use the device....
ljinsane,
I've gotten the feature to work with Motorola & Jabra headsets on (AT&T/Cingular) Motorola V600 & Razor, Sony-Ericsson T62U + DBA-10 bluetooth adapter, and a Blackjack.
I'm pretty confident it's not operator error.
What headset did you use ?
Were you indeed able to converse with whomever called you, by just waiting for the headset to stop ringing, and without touching the headset and not touching the Wizard 8125 and/or Hermes 8225 ?

zaharakis,
You're the 2nd to have success with a Tilt.
Someone else (different forum) had success with the AT&T Tilt +Aliph Jawbone.
Trust me, I did the setup for the Tilt when I tried it with my headsets.
I want to go back to the AT&T store and see if I can demo a Tilt + Jawbone combo.

Make that the third. It sure as heck works with my Tilt using the "Stock" feature in conjunction with my S9 BT headphones.
boys i beleive it's matter of some settings.maby you must make some tests with different settings with bluetooth to manage it
in dutty's and helmi_c's lite roms and with the HTweakC_2.1b(yes with this program!!) i make the settings of bluetooth and everything works perfect.
when you open this program in kaiser you have at opening an error mesage of ""unsuported device"" but a lot of it's options works perfect in our kaisers
try it and see what i mean
Gsleon3,
That's good.
Hmmm, now you're having success with a combo
Tilt + S9/Rokr, that failed for me.
OK, Plan B
I would like to respectfully request model & firmware version, both phone & headset if possible,
from responders (past & future) if you're having success or failure.
Regards,
Autoanswer: Tilt + (S9 Rokr or Jawbone) - No Love
OK guys,
How come nobody's stepped up with the firmware info (at least for the successful pairings) ?
Just got back from AT&T brick&mortar (store).
They had a demo Tilt w/o SIM, but claimed it wouln't 'work' (make/receive calls ? - as it paired w/ my bluetooth headset just fine).
Anyways, store manager's Tilt used.
Also, had to open a new Aliph Jawbone and charge it for 15 minutes.
Tilt set for Autoanswer in 3 rings + Jawbone
did -NOT- work.
4 rings then silent as call went to voicemail.
So, c'mon guys I need to know those firmware levels.
A picture of your phone displaying its firmware
level would be even better, if you know what I'm saying.
Failed AutoAnswer of
AT&T Tilt marketed in Portland,OR:
ROM version : 1.57.502.2
ROM date : 08/25/07
Radio version : 1.27.12.11
Protocol version: 22.45.88.07H
Regards,
I have the Spritn Mogul with the latest ROM from HTC that was released Nov. 29th. My auto answer does work. I have the Plantronics Explorer 350 Bluetooth headset.
Wooohoooo it works.

You need to read more carefully.
SAPettings
Exitao,
At first reading of your reply, I realized I'd searched the Getting Started Guide rather than the User Manual.
Just searched the user manual... no SAP.
http://www.america.htc.com/support/tilt/docs/ATT_Tilt_English_Manual.pdf
So, with all due respect... what has SAP and/or SAPSettings to do with "native" (out of the box) support of AutoAnswer via bluetooth in the Tilt ?
I don't know of a bluetooth phone without AutoAnswer, and the ones (excluding HTC) that I've used all performed as expected.
I apologize if you perceived my rantings as a quest for third party solutions.
My goal, is to authenticate that there is a
deficiency in bluetooth/AutoAnswer support in the Kaiser/8925/Tilt as marketed.
And, if it helps to innoculate future generations of HTC products,
that the above deficiency seems to have a "linear" heritage dating as far back as the Harrier/XV-6600.
Thirdly, I'd like the function to work as expected in all products but,... that's just me.
Regards,
Dj1018,
Thanks for contributing.
I'm happy for you, sincerely.
If someone with earlier firmware on a Mogul could share,
we might have some idea of whether there is a problem, HTC knows of it, and understands and/or can correct it.
Regards,

my HTC thunderbolt just updated to ver 2.3.4.
I used to use an app Auto answer by everySoft.
In my car the hands free would automatically answer incoming calls
in 6 seconds. After the update it doesn't work.
I tried several similar apps and the same error message ver 2.3.4 killed them.
I drive with hand controls, so i really need auto answer.
Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.
I did some research and found.
The MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission was marked as "for system use only" in Android 2.3.
While this was never intended for developers and publicly endorsed by Google, there are hundreds of apps in the marketplace using it. Unfortunately, a seemingly innocent checking by the Android folks has now crippled many popular apps for Android 2.3+.
If i root the phone, can this be changed??
