Upgrade questions for XDA2s. (Help Needed).

Hi,
Now my xda2s is unlocked, and I can use the device properly, I'd like to get rid of the 02 "add-ons" and understand the optimum firmware to upgrade the device, especially to prevent soft and hard resets and increase perfomance.
Can somebody also advise on the link for the Bluetooth patch, my Jabra has more static than a large wooly jumper!!!!!
Finally, has anybody devised a way to run 2 seperate email and address accounts - I'd like to keep my work email and my personla email (and contacts seperate
Thanks for your help.

We'll help you if you tell us how to unlock the XDA IIs

There is no programme to unlock the XDA2s, not that I know of.
I called customer services and made several requests for the unlatch code because i use dual sim cards and connect to another network.
I have called them at least 20 times, and had almost every reason under the sun for not providng the code. 02 are not obliged to give you the code, but if you are persistnet, you can get it.

O2 RELEASE ROM UPGRADE FOR XDA2S

I have been sent a link from O2 Data Support for downloading the new XDA2s ROM upgrade, which apparently will fix the Bluetooth problems.
The link is...

Haven't done anything with it yet, but thought you guys might like to know...

Hmm I wonder if I can use this update on my O2 Xda2s.
I got it in Malasyia.

I installed it on my UK XDA 2s, I will report back later.

In the PDF it's saying that this version is only for devices sold by O² UK or O² Ireland... Not sure if I should give it a go on my version..
Noel

I think I might wait and see what others say about this before I install it myself. So many that have it already say it is great but then you hear others say it has caused problems.

That post is the launch rom, not an upgrade. LMAO It is intended for people who attempt to flash the XDA IIs with a different vendors rom and screw it up.
Mike

Nope, its not, click the link. O2 are obviously just too lazy to create a new page for a new rom!
Nigel

HAHA you are correct!!! LMAO oh well. :shock: :lol:

Hi..have installed the update..and have encountered several problems...was wondering if anyone could help me.
I hate the fact that the clock has disappeared from the top right so whe u are using applications its no longer visible. Is there any way of bring it back?
Also now when you click the o2 at the top it dosn't give the active connections anymore. Therefore whats the quickest way to disconnect the gprs? and is there any way of bringing that back to how it used to be?
I have also had to reset my phone more often that I had to before.
Was wondering if anyone had encountered the same problems and how to resolve them.
Thanks so much...

Bit the bullet and upgraded last night, wifi still works and as I use Corporate mode I don't get any issues with 02 active, icons or clocks. All seems normal, so far!

Have to agree with Dave. I finally bit the bullet and installed the update last night. Don't like the new O2 active and put the clock straight back with the registry key.
Other than the missing clock and poor O2 Active software which I never use anyway no real problems. Tom Tom still works fine with my Bluetooth GPS receiver. WIFI still works fine with WPA security and everything locked down on the access point.
Still receive SMS notification and its nice that you're not limited to 70 char when using ' in sms text messages now!
All ok.

har5ha:
Just get the old O2 active back. To to this, head to the xda-dev FTP site, find the old O2 XDA IIs extended rom, pull it, find the file install.ARM.CAB (O2 active)
Sync/backup yr stuff then hard reset the XDA IIs, and let it do its stuff. When leave it to install the extended rom, but be ready to soft reset it when you get asked the 'corporate/personal' question (you'll have to watch the screen since there is a timeout). Once it reboots, copy install.ARM.CAB to the machine, and execute it. It will soft reset yr device at the end.
I use 2 things from O2 active, the battery plugin and the O2 icon to kill connections. Shame billy did not think to include a disconnect dialogue as well really (he put on in for vpn).
There might be a way to install old over new, dunno. I tried and it locks loads of files (even if you prevent it from loading).
Nigel

thanks Nigel...I ended up installing gb soft for the disconnect button.
So its ok...still getting loads of crashing. I think am going to reinstall it and then use corporate mode..hopefully it will crash less!

can I get an update on xda iis rom update
Hi all, I'm still new to this whole thing but reading and researching all I can. Don't have an xda iis as of yet, but on the high streets waiting list. I like the phone and in one way, can't wait, but don't want problems when I get it, especially at the price. Can anyone on o2 that has purchased their phone from o2 let me know how you are getting on...problems...ect, before and after the update.? To be honest, I'm a bit afraid to bite the bullet and get one right now due to what I'm hearing...especially since I'm not very computer smart. I do understand that it depends a lot on the manufacturer of the phone but if I had problems like I'm hearing about it would really do my head in...(no patience). Thanks

Well I love my phone to bits...had issues with the update but now that I have hard reset it and put it corporate mode its not freezing anymore.
But you have to remember its a pocket pc...like a pc..will need to be reset every so often...I was resetting mine of average once a day. It just takes a minute.
There are some negative points..but the positive outweighs the negative I think. My old pda was palm os (clie) and this is windows which is really good! As well as the fact that it has a phone built in too!

Hi all.
Can you please post some more feedback on this rom.
How is the BT stability?
Range?
Crackling noise?
License Expired troubbles?
I know its Build 3500, but maybe something else in this rom makes a difference.
How about the problem with sound dissapering when you answer a call.
Any troubbles here? This is really a pain in the (_!_)

Running the New Rom for a couple of days now and it seems much better than the launch Rom, The O2 active stuff is just as pants as usual so remove that and the "Connections" exe from Windows\startup.
Best thing is that it's stopped the annoying bug of the GPRS settings being screwed up when you enable/disable Wi-Fi.
Recommend it myself

Password
Anybody knows the password for this rom

O2 Coroporate Passcode

Hi all,
I have recently bought XDA IIS with O2. I wonder if anyone has got the passcode for the O2 Coroporate.
Regards,
Hussam

The code is 0506. This stops O2 Active being installed

Thank you so much for your reply and for the code.
Cheers,
Hussam

O2 Corporate settings
There are also some drawbacks, I had a problem with my O2 GPRS settings going awry.... but managed to for is myself....
O2 Data support told me that I had to do a hard reset.... yeah right !

o2 Data Support are, in my experience, a joke. However, counting a former DS guy as a friend of mine, it isn't normally due to any lacking of understanding on their part. If anything they seem constrained in what they can do by o2.
Yeah the GPRS settings are handy, but if you search on these forums for them it is often hard to find the definitive setup details. We could still use an FAQ section...talk about that seems to have died again, despite my (amongst many others) offer of help to set these up.
Cheers

O2 Corporate settings
Will this work for my xda 11, if not what will
thanks

New XDA User - Massively confused.

I'll try to keep it short.
Lost T-Mobile PDA. Bought an unlocked (I assume) AT&T SX56 off EBay.
Will not Active sync. Don't know why.
SIM will not register. Also asks for 4-8 char password which I do not have.
Phone recognizes T-Mobile Signal, but ignores SIM. Says emergency calls are possible, but I do not want to call 911 to check.
Lots of XDA software is already installed and operating.
So for those are the main issues. Hope this is the right area to post.
Looked around for answers for a couple of hours, with no luck.
Any suggestions?

Ummm As far as i know the xda's software blocks anything but O2 simcards.
I think the answer is to wipe the Xda's data, and install a non-branded verson of windows mobile '03.
I'm sure theres one on this forum somewhere, or someone will know where to get one.

Have you tried unlocking your device? Look here...

Moving from Orange(UK) to Cingular(USA)

Heya folks,
I wasn't too sure what to even look for in a search for this one.
I'm moving to the US, I have an Orange M2000. I've been offered a work-cellphone account, but I have to pay for the cellphone myself.
As I already have the M2000, I'd like to use it on Cingular for "Goodlink" services.
Apart from unlocking the network-lock to take the Cingular sim, is there anything else I need to do to prepare the phone? I'd rather not tamper with Rom's etc unless I have to.
thanks again

Hello, i was in the same situation last year with my XDA IIs. Moved from London. I have been using it on T-Mob US with no problems at all with regards to call reception, gprs, or sending and receiving sms. Only thing you may want to do is upgrade your radio rom to 1.15, seems to enhance reception a bit. Cheers.

Head over to the SX66 Standardization Project website & grab an extended ROM. Extended ROMs contain operator customization files -- grab them from the extended ROM & install them on your BA.

Hi there, I live in California and bought an Orancge SPV M2000 off Ebay from the UK, have unlocked it and it works well with my T-mobile simcard. But since it came loaded with the original Orange ROMS...I have had no luck trying to configure the MMS/GPRS settings on it. Tried every configuration found here on this site as well as other google sites, and even called Tmobile customer care rep for a walk-through. They didn't tell me anything new from what I've already found here, however, no joy sending an MMS at all
I have considered upgrading my extROM from Xelencins Tmobile for WIZARD ROM just to get the Customization settings. But I'd rather not do that since I am no pro at upgrading and don't wanna screw up my device if I can help it.
Can you tell me how you configured your MMS?GPRS settings to seamlessly work ? Mine just says "sending" forever and then times out and never sends it in the end
Please, any tips will do, thanks in advance...
