I see all these posts of o2, Qtek etc updates to radio rom etc etc but never any mention of T-Mobile updates even ringing them to find out where updates are or maybe comes back with a blank.
Do any of you know where these are or maybe if any are ever developed
Many thanks
T-Mobile is trouble.. I also have the T-mobile MDA III and have flashed it with the normal qtek ROM. It's just taking to long. They say there will be an update (t-mobile germany has released one) But the rest not.
I think it will take at least a month if not more for an update.

T-Mobile Blackberry ROM Upgrade

As far as I know it leaves the unit in German though - not sure if its possible to reflash into English.

I found that one with a Google, but as for leaving it in German for sad old me who only speaks english I don't think I'll be taking that chance searched the UK site high and low nothing why are we always the last to get anything ?
To be honest with you, T-Mobile are probably just sitting waiting for a stable rom to come out.
Despite the numerous releases by Q-tek, Imate et al, it would appear that you still have to run an abundance of patches on top of the rom to get to a semi-decent state.
O2 have only released one patch thus far, a bluetooth one which seems to solve some issues, but not all.
Problem is the numerous different suppliers. If it was one product and wasnt rebadged or branded or anything, then we could probably set up a pressure group to get something done about it.
I take it T-Mobile UK arent helping? If not, then email them weekly for updates, thats what I intend on doing with O2.

Might be a good idea but when ringing them no one has a glue I have fixed the BT issues with the I-mate fix and that now works perfectly but with new roms out from other people I'm sure us T-Mobile UK people are feeling left out

Bugger - much better than the 5mb you get with O2
CarlnAdele,
You say you backed up before applying the German ROM, does that mean you have a backup of the UK T-Mobile MDA III ROM? If so I would be greatly in your debt if you could provide a copy!
Kind Regards, waiting in hope, JDH

Yes I have a backup on my PC, basically I used the Backup ROM to SD Card method detialed here http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=151&PN=1
Which means when you copy it back to your pc using http://www.tamiminet.com/othman/ntrw.exe its the size of your memory card which in my case is 1Gb I could write this to DVD and post it to you.
Or if anyone knows how I can convert this to the .nb1 or what ever I'd be happy to do that and upload it.
Fantastic!
If you don't mind, could you compress the file with WinRAR or similar to see how big is it? if it's a reasonable size < 200mb I would be more than happy to provide a download site or perhaps it could be put onto the FTP for this forum? (although I'm not sure how that would be done)
Cheers, JDH

I'll have a go tonight but its unlikely to compress that far, I'd do it now but I cant get to the drive its on at home from work where I am now.
So we still wait on an appropriate Tmobile UK MDAIII ROM
In spite of the now famous BA_WWE_BelDT_12200_557_10602_SHIP.exe ROM file using the BaUpgradeUt.exe bat file upgrader software in conjunction with the GetDeviceData.exe modification software to input the proper switches for T-mobile UK MDAIII devices, we are better off waiting for more stable hacks or even official releases in order to solve the BT and other problems? And I just now was getting to a point where I thought the fixes were at hand. Oh well, any advice garnered through experience would prove valuable as gold here. Cheers, guys...
Willfarr,
I have applied most of the ROM updates as they have appeared on the forum and happily they seem to have helped; particularly with the low level mic issue.
The only reason I'm after the original ROM is that reading elsewhere on the board it seems that only the earlier batches of MDA IIIs (such as mine) have the yellow hue screen issue. As such, I got in touch with T-mobile and they have agreed to replace it under warranty, I just don't want to send it back with a hacked ROM in case they notice and refuse to replace it!
If you're having any software issues such as the mic problem it's probably worth trying the updates, just make a backup first!

And to write the uncompressed zip file back to the card you do the following:

I have been looking at PDA/Phones and decided on the XDAIIs. I had previously seen it on the O2 web site but when I checked yesterday it has all the adds and specs but when you go to buy online it says" Sorry, this handset is no longer available; You may wish to make a selection from our current range, displayed below" Does anyone know if it has been discontied or if there is a new model in the pipline.
Well, you can still get it from other people! iMate, (expansys.com), etc.

i work for o2 and they had to discon it due to system problems
if you want anything get the i or the exec both well better than the s
Thats interesting to know. We are an O2 dealer so shouldn't someone have told us before we bought 12 of them?
How long ago was it discontinued???
Not amused about that at all.

Bluetooth is one! Terrible BT hardware. Half a meter away and the cracks make the headset unusable. 22003SE and BT patches / WM5 just equally crappy :evil:
Just waiting for the Atom/Athena :roll:
In the meantime, my 2020 with 2003SE / automated Sin Merge is the best combo I tried. Thinking about moving to WM5 but the issues I had on my BA with ActiveSync/Outlook/Exchange server are making me think twice...
BTW, any news on FCS for Athena?

It's about effing time!! The Blueangel was not ready for sale. Not everyone knows how to hack a ROM and most business users need it to work out of the box which it defo didn't.
I know the problem: 02 didn't release the 1.40 ROM.
AND as I mentioned in another thread I have just broken my handsfree socket by mistake. I could fix it but I don't wanna take it apart and ruin the warranty.
I also don't wanna pay to have it fixed as I don't have ANY money. The down key is getting dodgy as well. I think I will go for a new one on insurance. Do you think they will gimme an Exec no that the 2s has been discontinued?
I only got the 2s as an insurance job for the XDA2 about 5 months ago. Do you think that they will be funny about it in the shop or will they not bother?
the s.... is crap
Hi
I suspect you people know this, but a MDA Pro (and MDA Vario) tab has appeared on the T-Mob upgrade site:
http://www.iris-global.com/t_mobile_download/download_manager_mda_pro.html
It only offers the shipped rom at the moment, but at least those who have cooked can return to factory state using this if they need to return for repair (as long as it starts still!!)
They mention a Jan06 maintainance release

Au contraire, I sent back my Jasjar flashed MDA Pro was accepted by the repair center without breaking the warranty
(But now, i can insert "Don't try this at home".. I might be among the very first people to send it back with flashed Mda Pro.. so they might be too excited to play around the 'Jasjar' to notice it )
hi all
i posted this over at buzzdev.net but don't seem to be getting any takers :-( sorry for cross posting but perhaps someone here has some clues.....
i got given a t-mobile mda-pro last week which is now unlocked and orange UK branded (my home network) thanks to buzz's perfect timing! the radio rom version with the latest orange package is 1.03 so obviously i'm tempted by one of the 1.09 ones held on his site.
could somebody tell me the difference between the three available ie. JASJAR ITA 1.30.81 169 1.09.00 ITA ship ROM, JASJAR ME 1.30.82 171 10900 WWE ship ROM and JASJAR SA 1.30.82 170 1.09.00 WWE ship ROM. which one might be the best bet for using with orange uk.
also will i lose the orange settings (which seem to be working just fine for me) or the push email update which their rom has. should i expect better signal levels with a different radio rom or is that down to the hardware. at the moment my mda/m5000 seems to need a pretty strong signal (gsm) to work.
thanks in advance and sorry for the long post - as i said, new to this cheers!
sihaz
I've just changed mine from the Orange ROM to 1.09.00 - 3G seems a lot better now and the battery life has improved a hell of a lot. All I upgraded was the Radio, no settings were affected (As far as I've been able to tell) and the whole process was quite easy As for possible differences between the 3 versions... FIIK!
what about the new dopod 1.11.00 ROM? anyone experience with that?

Fixed... No wonder no one had replied. Thanks
I won't lie, I've been trying to install several pirated version of it today. And it just doesn't seem to work. The closest of my attempts has been when TomTom opened up then asked for configurations then told me TomTom is not compatible with this device. Sigh. Gladly I didn't go out a buy it before trying it.
And what makes you think that a paid product will not work, just for trying it's pirated version???
I'm no saint, also tried out several pirated GPS software, AFTER I bought R66.
R66 always performed to the standarts, while all the others gave some kind of problem. I succed to make some work, but it's just too much trouble... for me, anyway.
I would advice to question the software development houses, regarding compatibity issues with your device, just to be on the safe, but I don't see why a comercial, legal version would not work correctly.

I agree, but you can bet your ass im not shelling out that much to find out it doesn't work. I've tried several TT6 and TT5, and for some reason it says not compatible for this device. I will take your word on it though and take TT6 into consideration with Route 66 Mobile 7.
Vmiguel, do you have R66 Mobile 7 on a Dash? I've been looking at buying this. Also If you do, I read that it comes with MiniSD/SD but the Dash uses Micro SD. Are you able to install from the DVD to micro sd?
Im particularly looking for a good GPS Software that I can download online and pay for. But if I have to I can order it.
TomTom 6
I've been trying to locate TomTom6; however, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Amazon says "Coming Soon" -- as does the tomtom.com website. Is this product available in the U.S. yet (European version seems to be shipping, though...)
Also, does the bluetooth receiver included in the package need an external power source, or is it battery powered?
The online materials don't mention compatibility with the T-Mobile Dash specifically...
Thanks!

Yeah, I noticed you could order TomTom 5 from TomTom.com but TomTom 6 didn't have a purchase option.
I already have a bluetooth GPS receiver, so I am seriosuly thinking I might just order Route 66 Mobile 7 WMS.
If you guys know of any other compatable GPS software please post it.
Copilot Live
Has anyone tried Copilot Live? I read some reviews that seemed to recommend the product -- and it's a lot easier to find than Route 66.
Also, anyone have some thoughts in general about using a smartphone (such as our beloved Dash) for GPS navigation as opposed to just buying a dedicatd unit?
Thanks!
Another GPS Question...
Here's one more question. Can all of these packages be installed on a Micro SD card and run from there? Or does the main app have to be installed in phone memory? It seems these apps take a significant amount of space (6 Megs for Copilot Live, 16 Megs for Route66, etc.), so it would be a shame to be forced to install them in phone memory...
Thanks!

TomTom does not work on Smartphone. It installs fine, but then there is no possibility to pick correct com port and keyboard pressing does not correspond properly.

Nice, but no North America maps...
mapopolis
I like mapopolis. It has GPS support, street-by-street driving instructions (with voice prompt), business and place-of-interest look up, etc.
So, if you're wondering in and about a different neighborhood, you can click on the businesses and it will give you their telephone number/location, etc. You can also look up driving directions via address (like mapquest) etc.
It's works great for the pocket PC -- smartphone (like the dash) i suspect is so-so. I've used it on the mx220, and without a touch screen it's just O.K.
The cons would be their web site interface. You pay $99 for unlimited downloads of individual counties in regions of the United States. Since a state like California has 58 counties, (58 separate maps) that's a lot of downloading time. They have an option to just buy an SD card with all the maps on it, but the dash doesn't use SD. (plus it costs more).
However the pros: Trial download. (I think 10 days?). Give it a shot, see if you like it, it uninstalls pretty nicely too.

good idea
Just bought mine a week ago from StarHub (the official retailer for galaxy beam).
I second the subforum idea. How about starting a google group as well since the community is so small.
For those who wish to purchase the phone:
You need to place a reservation at StarHub Center before making the purchase. It takes about a week before your phone is ready for collection.
I was lucky enough to get it immediately because someone cancelled his reservation.

get gps working when projector is on
get projector working when camera is on
can you tell me if the galaxy beam has also the tv out like galaxy s?
best regards

I have some bad news for you. Samsung has officially stopped software support for that device last month and said there's no plans for official froyo for it as there's just not enough beams out there to warrent the support as it was only sold in Singapore and very small numbers. They now have all development on tablet and galaxy s models. Google for more info. I read that last month someplace

thxx a lot, that news has been goin on here and there fr a while, surely some ppl can adapt 2.2 to the beam model.

bad news, impossible to install an application from android market :'(
never happend before with the nexus, i get the message "unable to download" either i am in wifi or 3g
any idea why?

Hmm never had a problem with market. Have you tried replacing the stock market app with a generic one from ipmart? Perhaps it's locked down to Singapore or something.
Topic moved to General until and if a new proper forum comes into place for this device.

My phone is running the same firmware version as yours. It's released on 1 Sept which is more recent than the July version on that blog.
hi,
thx for the news, so if there is an update it ll appear in the "about" section right?
do you know any trick/tweak for allow to run gps when using projector?
herve
Probably, but I doubt there will be any more updates since the beam is not getting froyo. Hopefully I'm wrong...
I'm not aware of any tricks but if you have the time and expertise try editing the source code? Haha I'm no expert either.
