I'm on the verge of buying an Exec from o2, and I just noticed on the the spec sheet on the o2 shop fot the Exec, that it states:
PC Sync........NO
Surely this is not correct? I was under the impression that it used ActiveSync 4 to sync with the PC?
I've found my XDA2 has become so unstable, I need to back up up every day to avoid loosing every thing - it has started completely crashing every few weeks - needing a hard boot. While I hope the Exec would be considerably more stable, I cannot assume such, so a sync/backup function is (IMHO) essencial.
cheers

Must be a typo. Every PPC syncs to a PC!
Hi guys,
sorry I posted this in another section so you may read this twice...I am desperate for a solution.
Hey guys,
this is a small issue, but one which is irritates me no end.
Last night, I used o2 connect on the handset to upgrade o2 plus from 2.1 01220606 to version 2.3 released 4 jan 2007.
It installed, but said that it couldn't delete version 2.1.
As far as I can tell there isn't any change, hopefully more stable, but I have lost most of my 'today' options on the today screen.
In particular I can't see the 02 plus shortcuts/large icons for easy access and I don't have the large onscreen battery meter which was previously there.
Is there any way to rollback this update?
Is there any way to manually add the today items?
Is there a manual method so that I can just see my battery meter & o2 short cuts!!!!!
Thanks for help

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 opened a support ticket with Vodafone UK about the annoying email sending and HSDPA problems that my HTC TyTN II has demonstrated since I 'upgraded' it to WM 6.1. Here's the response:
---<starts>---
Thanks for your e-mail about your TyTn 11/V1615 and problems since updating your firmware from 6.0 to 6.1.
I've been speaking with our technical experts today for some more info for you. I'm told that they are aware of various issues with the 6.1 windows software for this phone and unfortunately until a newer software version is available you will have these issues with the 6.1 version. It's unlikely they'd spend more money redeveloping the 6.1 software problems as they may already be looking towards developing the next version.
The only option they can give is to delete the newer version and find the old version to download again instead. We understand this isn't ideal but at the moment its' the only solution to these issues.
If there's anything else I can do for you, let me know, I'll be glad to do all that I can to help.
---<ends>---
That's a lot of help - not. They might at least have provided a page with a link to go back to 6.0...
Well you ...
You should trying to get support from Vodafone in The Netherlands , where I am an ex-pat. Got this damn thing last Tuesday (7 working days ago) and because I got my deal through the web shop, the one in my area won't help.
My problem is, when I took to the main shop in Rotterdam to get it changed to English version...great took the techie 5 mins to flash it . Yeah!!!
When I get back home, 1 hours drive but 2 at peak traffic time (which is all the F#####G time here, I fire it up go to GPRS authentification...nothing on screen, silch, nada, nothing
So sorry to piggy back your thread M8, but any help for this on this forum?
