??New versions *W*M*2*0*0*3*??

Hello,
does anyone know when the final version of W*M*2*0*0*3 will be released? And when it will be available to us? Was it released by Microsoft,yet?
I hope it will solve problems with memory card erasures and missing "More" tab in Phone Settings...
Thank you.

The "missing more tab" is merely missing because one does not need to change bands on 900/1800 phones: US versions will have this tab, I'm sure.
What I am not so sure about is how much pressure from the customers there is to bring WM2003 to this unit, with the XDA II coming and all.

probaly lots of pressure... but no inclination from the relevent(sp?) parties...
As if they would listen to us anyways? I mean we already know how *helpful* O2 are in the 'after care' department so what chance is there of them bringing out a rom?
From my experience of their compilation and testing of previous roms the development department must be VERY under funded as it is.
I think all 3 of them will be working overtime to prepare 2003 for the XDAII and wont really care about those that have already provided their cash...
one glimmer of hope I think is that the XDAII has the same rom size as the XDA... therefore will it be possible to 'borrow' the rom from that and put it in the XDA ? :twisted: .... or will they take 3 months of their project management to impliment restrictions and locks on the device... (time they could have spent porting it to the XDA)
I'm sure I'll prolly buy one... the pretty colours dazzle me.... but I hear Intel are planning a new Xscale cpu for 2004.... which is meant to be a lot better than this one... so will our brand new xdaII be dead as roadkill by the same time next year?
and I just had a thought.... the current XDAII cpu is an Xscale... and the XDA is a strongarm.... so there goes the 'borrowing' idea :?
yes I type while I think..
yes I dont delete text I decide is wrong before posting

XDA developer Peter Poelman:
I want the "More" tab to setup Cell Broadcast and auto pick-up - those settings were on this tab too.
ALL:
So you think that it'll be hard to get the final release? That defines a question - where is the kitchen rom from? It's a silly question, I know... But if you want to answer, send me an private message.
Thanx

Correction - If you want to give me an answer... :lol:
Sorry for my english...

It would appear that the version we have is OEM
the T-mobile branding I'm not so sure about maybe its a beta internal release inside T-mobile.
Remember though that just because they have it.... doesnt mean we will.
There is even a Apple OSX for Intel machines... Apple has currently no intentions of releasing it but does have 8 developers slowly working away
AOL for linux ? yes there was one..... but apart from the early beta which has since disapeared nobody has heard anything about it since.
Stranger things have happened (or have not as the case seems to be here)

Ok 2 things here. For the person wanting the "More" tab on the phone settings, which ROM version are you using? I am using 4.00.16, and it is in there. Perhaps this is not part of the ROM version, but depends on what radio stack is being used?
Secondly, I wouldn't be too surprised to at least see a T-Mobile release of WM 2003, but I also wouldn't guarantee it. They have released - ok not released - but a couple different betas have become "available" so we know they are working on it. I should say we know they were working on it. No telling now, as no new betas have appeared since June or July.

The person who wanted the "More" Tab was me I use 4.00.11 and don't want to install 4.00.16 until there will be a "clear" version without T-Mobile add-ons. The "More" tab must be part of the ROM because it is a part of system! I have radio stack 4.21. My boyfriend has the same version of radio stack, but PPC2002 and he has the "More" Tab.
About the new versions of those betas - maybe they have it better secured?

if you installed a based ROM, meaning no add-on software or not cook with the kitchen, there will be a more tab on you setting, but if you add some software to the ROM the setting for the more tab will be overiden, anyway you can still setup this thing in the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel... the setting for keylock is there and also for the setting of automatic answer is there, just change the value.

And what about Cell Broadcast...?

Windows Mobile 6 on O2 XDA Orbit

Hi all,
During the 3GSM congress lots of people tried WM6 and compared it on devices that ran WM5 before. It seems that there's a real global improvement with a noticeable gain of speed.
According to what I've read everywhere, the main weakness of the Orbit is its slow processor, so this upgrade could be very interesting.
I'm a complete beginner in this "all inlcusive-phones" world, so I was wondering, can I upgrade the OS myself (when available) or is it an OEM solution with no possible upgrade?
Thanks and good bye.

discussion here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290039

ok sorry,
by the way I saw a strange file on eMu*e called :
WM6 Crossbow (WWE) for HTC Wizard v5.2.660
maybe the beginning of a solution ?

no problems - just worth keeping it all together. For instance there is talk on that thread about the wizard ROM and why it won't work on the artemis...

ooh! ooh! I found it.

For those that havent seem - and I only came across it today ...
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
WM6 installers for UK Orbits.

After installing the WM6 ROM from O2, the only problems I noticed were that 1) once enabled, the WiFi could not be disabled, and 2) the camera zoom did not seem to function, although number 2 may of been due to resolution, instead of a 'bug' of sorts.
Currently I'm using the Artemis_Touch_1.0_Lite_WWE ROM from these forums, and I'm pretty pleased.
You're right, the Orbits shortfall is its slow processor, however it does seem to be able to chug along perfectly fine with this ROM.
edit: note, also that the aforementioned site for downloading the O2 WM6 ROM, I visited this a while ago and the serial number that is present on my device was classed invalid.

I downloaded the updater - my Serial was recognised OK, and everything installed OK. Definately speed increases. I can certainly disable WiFi and the zoom on the camera is OK.
WM6 is certainly cleaner, more stable and I'm a happy bunny now!

I had the same problem, when using Firefox. Worked fine with IE though. One other thing - at first, after having my s/n validated, when I clicked the download link, I was routed to the HTC site instead of to the download dialogue. That turned out to be ZoneAlarm (licensed version) getting in the way. In the end, I temporarily disabled ZA and got the download.

DOPOD U1000 Extra Bonus Pack with ROM Update, available only through......me :)

A good news for DOPOD U1000 user, there is a ROM update for our device soon. i will get it by end of next week. From what i heard, the update doesn't concentrate on bug fix, it's more of a bonus pack with small fix for our device.
Don't confuse this with the singapore ROM update, it's different, the one you will get from this bonus pack is newer and not the same. The update from singapore DOPOD is even older the the original ROM ship by DOPOD Taiwan.
The ROM will only be included in the extra accessories pack which apparently isn't for sell at the moment. I have manage to buy 5 of them through my internal contact, will keep one for myself, and the rest will be available for you guys to buy if you want, or i will post it up on ebay.
I am not 100% sure what is included in the pack since i haven't got it yet, but here is a rough guide:
Car charger, Car Mount, Business Card recognize software, Backup software, GPRS Monitor, 2G miniSD with Navigation software (Papago, which is a asian version of TomTom, i have heard that TomTom is base on that program).
Rom update will include MyConnect (don't know what is that)
and RSS Home Plug In, Unlimited Live Music listen on internet (for a short period, then you have to join the member), Quick Mark (something what makes our camera to read Bar Code i think)+some system tweak and fix(not much i think).
****This Rom Update will only be available in this bonus pack, won't be available for download on internet*****
Now, they told me the market price for this bonus pack is £100, the price i can get you is £70 including shipping. Not a bad deal i think if you look at the price for car mount and car charger plus miniSD card. And this is official car mount and charger specially design for Athena you are getting btw.
I only have 4 available, and there is no way to get any more as well, so i will take a first come first serve here, once is out then is out.
PM me for payment and more details.
p.s. I will keep you guys up to date what is exactly in the box.
*****Bonus pack means it doesn't fix any major big issue in our device, it just provide extra service and application....and accessories. So don't ask my to upload the Rom, i can't do that. *****
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update on my gift pack, now i have it in front of me !
From the picture you can see there are lots of CDs included and manuals, and also a nice (specially for Athena) car mount, and also a car charger with very high class HTC logo on it, and also a 2G miniSD.
Now what's inside the disk, here it is:
Disk 1: GPS software (call PAPAGO), not too usefull unless you live in asia or planning to travel to asia, it's like the TOMTOM in europe.
Disk 2: ROM Update, you need to do a hard reset to flash this ROM, the ROM version is newer but i am not quite sure what is the main changes, don't see any addition feature at the moment, but personally, the device feel faster then before. maybe the windows build is newer.
Disk 3: GPRS Monitor and Sprite Backup (well, no much to say about these, you should all know this software already, btw, they are in chinese, so no idea what will happen if you install it on english device.)
Disk 4: Penpower World Card ( business card recognize software) in ENGLISH and it works really well (amazing! , simply take a photo of any business card and it will decode and store all the info into your contacts)
KKBOX , (Online Live Music station, works really well, it has a very large collection, simply select type of music, singer, then it will show you all the albums and you can click play to play them or download them to you device to listen) but this software is in chinese.....
DOPOD RSS Reader (this also has a today plug in so you will see your most updated news on your today screen, nice!) works good and is in english
My Connect (this is like Vodafone live, you can get so much online service here, e.g. Live radio, Live TV, ring tone download, wallpaper, GPS Photo (at the moment you can only download, next ROM update will enable the GPS photo function so we can take it outself)). This is in chinese, with some english on as well(strange) anyway, it does work.
QuickMark (kind of a bar code reader, which allow our device to read bar code and decode it).
That it, this is what you get for the bonus pack, only 2 left....pm me for question. I am off now to watch the live TV from my device

Wu what is the car mount like? can you send me a picture or post it here please, once you get it.

As far as the new ROM goes, it is already in the Dopod site. I don't think there is any major upgrade cause i haven't tried it out yet.
And for the bonus pack, the car mount, bt headset and some extra items (which i forgot cause i haven't received mine yet) is offered as a free gift from SIS. At this point i'm not sure whether there is any software bundled with the free gift, will update once i got mine.

"Business Card recognize software"
i hear about this alot. how does it work if you don't mind?

Camera takes picture and then software runs OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Similar in concept to the purpose built scanners.

This looks like the launch promo package contents we are given free in Singapore. We will collect them after the mid-month.

really? I have just check it, and see nothing on, you want to post a link? this is not what i heard from official, this ROM won't be available for download anywhere.
I have heard some people are getting this as gift, that's why it's not available for buy at this moment, i got it through my internal contact, it's a commercial version which they say they will release for people to buy on mid May. Not sure the content are exactly the same or not.

yes i have mention this before, they are also releasing this as a commercial package to people to buy, that is the package i got, content might be different, but not sure. Also content might be different on different country as well. I have heard nothing about iPod and monitor. Looks like it's only in singapore.
for people getting their pack in singapore, what is it exactly inside ?

New 67.5 MB update from HTC

I just discovered a new update for the Shift - this time in the telephone software section.
My download using GMS will take about six hours...
Any experiences with this update???
Axel

Where?
Where can you see that update? In HTC official web-page I haven't found anything like that...

Hi,
you can find it in HTC Club. To go there you have to register first. I've just read it and I do not really understand it. It sounds to me as if they talked about a different device. And I think my ROM to be newer than the one they offer there. But as I said it does not make sense to me.
It is so strange. They talk of start and settings and usb connection and so on, but that is not supposed to work unless it was liberated. So that's why I do not understand what they are talking about. Can anyone clarify?
S.

I have nothing in "Phone software updates"
or should I look elsewhere?!

I don't want to install it, because the instruction says that everything is lost and I am under the impression that the software is older than the one on my Shift.

Hi Einsiedler,
do you really want to install the download? Isn't the ROM in your Shift newer than the one you are downloading? I compared the screenshot on the page with the information I found in Snapvue. Cannot find the "device information" when I go over "start" and "settings". Isn't all very strange as this possibility isn't supposed to work? I do not get it.

I'll download it (still three hours left) and check this page again tomorrow morning.
Resetting the WM side would at least give me another 14 days playing with the Palm emulator...

Very strange update indeed. It seems that it is for the German version Shift only and furthermore for older ROM-Versions. The ROM-Version to compare in a picture shown is dated 05/10/07 (Number 1.06.405.1 WWE). My Shift is one of the first delivered in Germany and its ROM-Version is 1.30.407.0 GER) - so it seems to be way younger then the one in the illustration.
Before downloading the 67,5 MB-file you have to confirm a serious warning that any program or data stored by you will be lost after installing the update. If you confirm - did it on my notebook, not on the Shift! - you get the message: "This will install TM2008_GER Version 16.00.1449 on your computer."
"TM" apparently means "Trend Micro" because the file creates the folder "Trend Micro" and expands itself therein to the folder "setup". So IMO it's only an update of the internet security software. By the way: I run "Trend Micro" and my version number is 16.10.1106 - way younger than the download version as well.
So what? Another example of the strange behaviour of a strange company. That's all.

I'm not german so dont have the file in htcclub
but if you are sure it is TM then lol.
you can still upload it to rapidshare.com, i'd like to see it.
(the xda-devs attachments can't be larger than 8MB, that's why your upload failed)

For the Phone software update, if you've register a htc smartphone or wm phone, the update is for those phones.
If you registered shift only, there's no update software inside the PSU !

here you find the screenshot from the htc webste (htc e-club):

here you can download the file: http://rapidshare.com/files/112149681/TM2008_GER.exe.html

yeah that screenshot explains, it is a generic page that the phone update software link will show you if there is an update.
but I guess they intended this trendmicro thing for the other downloads section, they just made an error and uploaded it to phone update section.
in my country they'd call this thread "storm in a glass of water"

i agree.....

Hi,
so things seem to have become much clearer and I do not have to upload the file anymore. Seems that some of you folks do not need any sleep.
I do not know too much about all these things, but apparently I was right that it was a very strange update, as it isn't an update at all or a falsely declared one.
In the tread "HTC sucks" someone made the suggestion to start a blog in which to make public the ridiculous support of HTC. As I said I do not know enough about the way to do these things, but done it should be. HTC really, really sucks when it comes to support. I have sent them several emails. Nothing but a standardized answer that they will answer in some cosmic future.
S.

This update has Nothing to do with WM rom!
The setup file unpacks to ...program files/trend micro/... and so I aborted the installation. No bad results, but waste of time.
Have a nice and sunny weekend.

NEW HTC UPDATE for SMS enhancement

Hi everybody,
I read a lot about problems with the sms function, and I just noticed on HTC's website they have posted an upgrade for this problem in particular....
I saw I couldn't post the link here but you know how to get to the upgrade...
Just go to the HTC website and select the support section.
So I just thought i'd bring it to everybody's attention...my eyes are like a hawk attuned to HTC lol
Best of luck.
Joey

Can anyone tell me what problems these updates actually address? On the HTC website it just says SMS stability but doesn't explain more

We lost our files with the updates??

no no data will be erased, it's only a hotfix!

This hotfix will be unnecessary if you upgrade to the new ROM instead.

ROM update is like firmware update. They try to root out bugs or improve performance from the older version.
Yes, you can download the new ROM from htc.com. go to support link. You need to provide your phone serial number, just to check if this ROM is compatible to your device.

Thank you. I'm downloading now.
Best regards,

I am having really big issues with SMS handling.
I do have the 1.36 update and also have the SMS-hotfix.
I have imported aproximately 3000 SMS via MyPhone.
When replying to an SMS it takes on average 5-6 seconds before I can start writing. Is this normal? If a contact has alot of SMS's, then it takes even longer...

Apparently, HTC Messages is designed for less than 100 messages only.
I've lodged my complaint on HTC Support.
I encourage you, and everybody, to register complaints of this dismal messaging app.
It's the only way to get HTC's attention. And force them to do something about it.

I just got an answer from HTC support. Appearently all SMS, etc is stored in internal memory, so the more stuff you got in there, the slower the device gets. Guess I just have to start deleting...

Err, ah....
I was thinking of upgrading the ROM to the 1.36 and went to the HTC download page. There I found these versions available: Greece: 1.36.482.1, Portugal: 1.36.410.1, France: 1.36.406.1, Denmark: 1.36.403.1, Italy: 1.36.408.1, Europe: 1.36.401.1, Spain: 1.36.412.1, Russian Federation: 1.36.411.1, Sweden: 1.36.413.1, Germany: 1.36.407.1, Nederland: 1.36.404.1, East Europe: 1.36.479.1, Norway: 1.36.409.1. So what's the difference and how do I know which one to choose as I am not in one of the country's specifically named. I guess I could go for "Europe" but I must admit to being a tad confused.
Can somebody inform me?
Thanks

which country are you actually in?

Hungary and I do NOT speak the language. )

That's not it. HTC messaging is slow even if you have 30 messages. Normal Windows Mobile phone should handle several thousands of messages, before there will be any slow down. My previous phone, Asus P750 with only 64mb ram, can handle in excess of 20,000 messages, before it started to have a slight slow down. If HTC can't handle 20,000 messages, that's ok. We're not asking that much. But at least it should be able to handle 5,000 or 6,000 without any slow down. At the worst of the worst, it should be able to handle 3,000. Like any other windows mobile phone can.
SO don't swallow that BS explanation of HTC. It's wrong. There's something wrong with HTC messaging. THey'll have to admit it first, before we can expect them to dig in and root out the bugs.
HTC customer support is very LAZY. Damn TOO LAZY. Always trying to squeeze into an easy way out. We should not let them get away with this.

sorry can't help you with it.

I recently upgraded to the 1.36 ROM however the SMS hotfix doesnt seem to take now Ive upgraded.
Perhaps the latest ROM includes this SMS hotfix?
edit:
okay the hotfix appears to take when run from my storage card!

sms notification sound
I have a new problem with the sms!! When the screen turn off when I am not using the Phone there is no any notification that I received a new message!! But if someone call me the screen turn on and I hear the ring tone.
Any idea about that
