Wow! how was it? Does the bluetooth work already or still buggy?

sorry have not tried the bluetooth headset. it tried though sharing my PC internet connection thru Bluetooth dongle and it works ok. I am now connected thru WIFI (LINKSYS WRT54G) and again it works perfectly.
Really Nice: SKYPE AND MSN MESSENGER on this. AGILE Messenger BETA Version is little bit problematic.
I just hate the sliding keyboard. I had it repaired already at BRIGHTPOINT in Cubao. Very fragile and easily broken (around one week). Now, I dont use it for fear it might break again.
OVERALL, I STILL LIKE IT.

Everything good to hear except the keyboard problem

Thanks a lot.

SKYPE on XDA IIs
Is the SKYPE software pre-installed on your XDA IIs. Wish to know the configuration of the SKYPE software. I have a PDA-2K which is the version released here in Dubai.

Skype
Skype software didnt come pre-installed.
I downloaded it from www.skype.com.
One of the best communication software, I installed in this O2 XDA IIs.
Really works and voice quality is very good.
Got to call skype to skype free of charge.

Hi, how's your xda IIs doing?

still happy with IIs
I am still happy with my IIs despite the bad experiences of others.
It is fairly stable. Mostly instability I experienced is the result of third party freeware that I installed.
I installed a 256 MMC card bought from www.PCX.com.ph at Php1,650. Downloaded MP3 and some pictures of my family. I could play photo slideshows while running MediaPlayer at the background.
Just for curiosity, I tried playing shoutcast from this iis and surprisingly it works also using GS Player (a freeware). I have a DLINK MEDIA Player to do that for me though.
ROM is still stock as I don't want to touch it as it does not give me problems to date.
I updated again the BT to BT3900. Bluetooth works Ok but discovered distance is just around 2-3 feet using Nokia HDW2. Anyway, I find carrying and charging a separate Bluetooth headphones more of a nuisance than real utility.
my iis has the following programs now: skype, agile messenger, avantgo, battery monitor, psshutxp, chess and several other games. All of these programs are downloaded freewares.
I could check all my emails (including yahoo and gmail) thru GPRS when I am out of office or home. Once tried to call thru Skype while in Glorietta and it works well. Made several long distance calls Skype to Skype free of charge. I am sorry I have no idea about VPN, not that sophisticated user.
AgileMobile works fine also. I discovered that I need to properly shutdown it. It was my mistake to close the program using the RUNNING PROGRAMS of Windows. This resulted to AgileMobile not connecting afterwards.
The only functionality I would want to be added is fax program which I miss from my old 9210. I want it but enough enough to buy it (eg. TRUEFAX). Only if free, otherwise, I could live without it.
Again, I rarely open the slide keyboard for fear it might break again. Too much trouble going to Cubao just to have it repaired.
I have never experienced screen drifting.
Battery life is 5 to 6 hours with continuous WIFI usage. I once turned myself into a walking zombie after staring at the tiny screen that long. The WIFI meter does not seem reflective of actual reception because I could still make Skype calls eventhough bars show only 1 or 2 bars.

Thats very good news.
I'm also a 9210 user. I regularly send sms to groups of people and I found that 9210 do this very well. Is there a way or software for xda IIs to assign groups to contacts and to handle failed sms? otherwise, have to add contacts one by one to the "send to" field and no way to identify the particular contact to resend after failed sms.

text sending is a pain compared to 9210
For Filipinos who love texting, XDA might not be a good phone. I am still struggling to send text messages using this IIs whether thru its built in keyboard (I dread opening for fear it might break again), soft keyboard, transcriber or block recognizer. I miss the ease and convenience of sending text thru my old 9210. And the truth is sometimes I wish I got the 9500 because of this reason. It is no exagerration but your writing hand will ache after sending a couple of messages thru this IIs. Those who will argue have not used a Communicator.
In IIs, you can also mark the names of people you want to send the text message just like in the 9210. I don't think IIs recognizes failed text messages. You, however, could tick "REQUEST MESSAGE DELIVERY NOTIFICATION" just like in 9210.
Another important text messaging function which is lacking in IIs (in Windows Mobile) is the text sending "Schedule". In my 9210, at night when I am working, I many times prepare the instructions I will be sending out the next morning. However, I don't send it out immediately realizing other people have their own lives too. So I schedule the sending out of text messages. I know there is a freeware for Windows Mobile but it doesn't work yet.
And also, the best speaker phone I ever used is the 9210, I am sure the 9500 is even better. Great for telephone conferences/meetings. This is not so in IIs.
When the novelty of this IIs wears off completely and I have overcome my "love your own syndrome" , I know I will be getting a 9500. But as of now, I love my new toy - the IIs.

It is now being offered by Smart under Infinity program

i-mate pocket pc

What a fantastic site. The pda is so incredibly clever and on the i-mate site I have recently upgraded the rom version which includes a radio upgrade.
Can anyone explain if it will be possible to upgrade the telephone to have the voice activated facility that allows you to speak in to a bluetooth handsfree kit and set up a unique number to get the telephone to dial automatically ?
I know that in Canada and the USA Microsoft have a new ?? [not really new now] product called Voice Command which I can't wait for which will allow you to do all kinds of amazing things with the telephone, the appointments and other parts of the pda which will make it much safer to use on the road.
The only poor part of the upgrade from i-mate [i-mate.com] is I am sure that the Bluetooth Navman 4100 GPS unit and the GPS TomTom3 software are 'hanging' more often which is annoying - any suggestions please ?
Than you for an excellent site.
Charles
look for the vidcomm bluetooth stack maybe it support it
ms bluetooth stack dont and i'm not sure if they are planing on inc their profile support ms dont seem to like bluetooth much as with other techs they dident have a hand in bringing about

I was using MS Voice Command on my iMate PPC Phone edition. It wasn't a very happy marriage. My iMate would hang to the point where it needed a hard reset about once every or every other week. After a call to iMate tech support and removing the MS Voice Command as suggested, my iMate is much much more stable. Prior to using MS Voice Command with the iMate, I was using it with a T-Mobile PPC Phone Edition. It worked flawlessly. So based on that and other similar experiences (SimCity2000 worked on the t-mo device but not on the iMate) I can't help but suspect the iMate for not being terribly compatible with several different software titles.
Thanks for your information about the voice command - really sad to hear the i-mate doesn't work with it - I won't buy it !
Kind regards
Vito
Why don't you try Vito Voice Dialer PE ?
Guys what are you talking about !! Can't you see that everyone of you is using different ROM!!! But the hardware is still the same !! HIMALAYA.
Imate,XDA2,T-Mobile MDA2,Qtek2020... has the same hardware!
Microsoft Voice Command works with WM2003. It is good as long as the quantity of contacts you have is limited. In larger quantities, confusion starts! (besides the fact that you have to pronounce the names in a typical american accent)
Vito Voice Dialer has 2 different phone edition versions (one for XDA and one for XDAII). Each number has to be trained, but then you can use nicknames and aliases, and it works.

XDA IIs Bluetooth Issues-Out of Memory Driver Error!!!

Anyone having issues with the new XDA IIs and its bluetooth? I randomly get bluetooth errors stating, Out of Memory Driver Error, please do a soft reset. Also with the bluetooth on the unit intermitantly turns on even with nothing paired to the device. I have had two units, and they both have done the same thing. If anyone knows of a patch from O2 or a hack, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mikee
I have an xda IIs and have never got any of those errors also never had it just turn on.
What 3rd party software do you have installed? I would think it is a 3rd party app. Hard reset, do not install from any backup and see how it works.
Did that, still have issues. The only third party app I do have installed is spbpocketplus2. But out of the box, if you turn on bluetooth, it has this issue. Its a Weird one indeed. However I am using a Motorola Bluetooth headset. Still if I unpair it, the unit turns on by itself, and comes up with out of memory driver error? What a pain.
I have not seen that error at all on the Xdaiis I own. As far as your BT connection coming on sporadically, try this - goto Bluetooth Settings and within the accessibility tab, where it says "Allow other devices to connect", just select the "Paired devices only option". Also, deselect, if it is selected the "Other devices can discover me" Option.
Just curious... what version of bluetooth do all of you have? ie: version 1.0 build 2200 etc.
My Bluetooth version seems weird to me, especially since it does not match the version I have on my PDA2k, which is strange considering they are pretty much the same darned device. Anyway the XDAiis is 1.0.0 Build 1900.
I did not even try to put the ClubImate btsearch patch on the xdaiis, like I did on my pda2k, due to the difference. The btsearch patch does nothing to help the brunt of the pda2k bluetooth options anyway. And so far, knock on wood, I have not had many issues with BlueTooth on the XDAiis, like I do on the pda2k, using the same exact headset, etc... So, it seems to me that 1.0.0 build 1900 is a bit more stable then the newer Pda2k stack.
Join the club dude.
I also get all these strange bizzare bluetooth errors. I have the BT patch installed (which was released about a month ago on clubimate), and stilll these errors come randomly. I'm not using the BT anymore, I now use only the wired stereo headset that came with my i-mate. no more BT issues for me. BT sucks on the PDA2K, bashes all over clubimate forums)
I get this fairly often as well. Its probably moaning about kernel stack space, but this could mean that another driver has misbehaved previously and eaten stack space (stack recursion anyone!).
Whether or not you suffer from it will depend on what the machine has been up to beforehand. So for instance, someone with no SD card who has WiFi turned off will be less likely to suffer from it than others.
I keep getting another message as well that says that the licence for the bluetooth stack has expired!!!
For the chap who says it works for him, can you post your firmware versions: For the record, mine are:

Well I would not install spb pocket plus. This is the worst written app. and does not like phone edition. Don't think the developer ever tested the app with phone edtion.

I do not have spb pocket plus installed. I had enough trouble with that application with my old imate and will never install it again, hard resets, missing sd cards...
Do you guys have SPB pocket plus installed. It could be the problem using the stacks????

Agreed. Thats sorta where I was going with the question. I believe they released the PDA2k with the newer version, but found it to be a bit more bugged than the previous builds... thus released the IIs with an older stack. I wonder if we could port that stack over to the pda2k, thus semi-fixing some of the BT issues.

THE BT Stack EXPIRATION error and the other BT memory problems
come and go. I had one week of not seeing any of them even once. It
depands on many factors. Never the less, I hope all errors are
fixable (even if HTC seems to be one of the slowest companies in the
world releasing updates). As long as it's rom related it's comforting.
Same problem occasionally on the MDAIII
I got the same error on my MDAIII on checking the software still running in the background (Settings – System – Memory – Running Programs) and it was always Phone Contacts and Album. Ditched them and Bluetooth worked. Only a thought… Hope it helps…
Just so everyone knows .....
Got my XDAIIs through work to test all sorts of brackets, holders and GPS stuff and I was getting these errors with bluetooth headsets and GPS antennas.
Phoned O2 and gave them some grief as it was stopping my testing and they phoned me back a day later saying that it was a bug and it is currently being addressed.
They would NOT give me a timescale for these bluetooth errors being addressed but said the developers are working on it!
...Spence
Bluetooth nightmare
Any one have any update on this?
My M2000 is still giving intermittent Bluetooth Radio out of memory errors when I try to switch BTooth on.
It also refuses to work with my Sony Ericsson Car Kit - HCB-30 - it pairs the first time and then works, but once you take it out of the car and try again on another journey it simply doesn't connect.
Anyone know if there is likely to be a Pocket Bluetooth Tools release for Blue Angel that may fix this??
I also have this error, i find that it's mainly relating to the number of apps open at that time. However saying this i have a few times killed all apps and still recieved the memery error. A soft reset has always restored usage though.

I'm still researching the fault. :?

FYI - Globe issued IIs are SIM UNLOCKED

Just discovered now.
The IIs unit I got from Globe is SIM UNLOCKED.
I could not resist the 24/7 offer of SUN CELLULAR so I tried inserting a SUN SIM. It works with SUN SIM.
I tried another SIM from SMART and it is also working.
FYI.
You got a web link to Globe?

Could I know the ROM Version of your unit?
Thanks

Chief i have a question, would you happen to know about how i can eliminate the static sound on BT headset? My BT version is now 3900 but it still has static sound.
Thanks!
I have same Bluetooth problem here using either 3500 or 3900. Other than that, I am very happy with my unit.
I used only the following program which I deem essential for me (all working perfectly and all Freeware):
Agile Mobile
Skype
KBattery
Avantgo
MH Conversion
MPEG Pocket TV
FAst Clean Up
psShutXP
Mamaich Telephone Extension
Vcard Send and Receive
GS Player
RealOne
Total Commander
Games
Valentin Chess
Minesweeper
Freecell
What soft do you have? Please feel free to PM me in case you need copies of above.
Note: I remove other games because it will involve keyboard and button wrecking actions. Nintendo and PS for that purpose and not for this super expensive gadget.
yep you are right! but a friend told me that it might be a headset prob rather than our PPC. anyway i will try other headset, currently i am using jabra bt200...
you have lots of SW... dont worry i will pm you if i would like to have an installer of some!
many thanks!

Why am I selling my universal to ebay

You can see the item 9133392608 is for the sale to the ebay.
The reasons I would like to share with you are the following:
1. The unit is not very practical for business use.For example on the road you have to open the unit and press the stylus . Totaly impractical , I use to have a P910i and I could do any task (e.g. check my email) in 2 seconds.
2. Although the screen is VGA you cannot take advantage of it.
3. With any ROM i had tried (inluding latest DOPOD rom) , only with i-mate latest ROM i have 99.99% reliability.
4. The BT (JX-10) disconects sometimes with all the ROM i had tried.
5. It is like a PC (I have powerbook MAC tiger since 1 year) that needs formating once a week so it can work faster.
6. The 3G (UMTS) it's nice but OS it is a big bottleneck.
7. It cannot be sync MAC OS X without any issues (like my P910 use to). There is a sofware called missing sync in beta for WM5 but it doesn't work always.
Why am I KEEPING my universal

1. the unit is very practical for using on the road (do you know any other laptop that fits your pocket :wink: )
2. you can use the VGA screen if you want to (its not easy though)
3. up to date stock info is more reliable then old info 8)
4. ..
5. its like a PC i can do everything i want on it.
6. i love having internet in the train
7. can sync with exchange server

1. If you don't know how to use it, it's very impractical yes.
But if you know how to use the keyboard, you can start any program and do everything without having to touch the stylus or the screen. It's perfect for in a car as I use it like that with a brodit carholder.
2. It has VGA and it's perfect for using remote control like www.logmein.com, I can connect to my homepc 640x480 full screen and start a download so when I come home it's finished, or check websites that don't work very well on Pocket internet explorer.
For as far the desktop of the pocketpc, who wants that in VGA mode all the time? it's way to small for that.
3. I use the latest QTek ROM and it has eveything I need like MSN, A2DP, AKU2 and is super stable. Nothing to complain.
4. I am using a bluetooth carkit supertooth II and a Bluetooth GPS at the same time without any problems.
5. It's like a PC I can watch series like southpark in the car with the sound coming from my car speakers with an FM transmitter. I watch videoclips, MSN, read email and the only time when I need to reinstall it is when I want to checkout another ROM.
6. The UMTS is perfect when my DSL is down, I connect my Universal as a modem and use the internet through the UMTS connection.
Download abut 45KB upload 7KB. Only for the low ping of 200-250ms it still is perfect for browsing and even downloading stuff.
7. Then stay with your P910 and your Mac. When you bought a Mac you knew you would have compatibillity issues with almost every program on the internet. Now the Universal doesn't work very well you balme the universal?
I am happy with my universal, and the complaints you are making has nothing to do with the universal. But with the user behind it .

Buying a Pocket PC for use with a mac is... mad, surely?
Next time, do your homework, and nice seeing you - enjoy your P990 forums.
I planned to buy a Universal on eBay, but after reading your post I decided not to bid on a machine as lousy as that

Use Nokia HS 12w...Stereo BT,FM and caller ID...I hope this eliminates all the "impractical" things
Speed and reliability
This is the key for a business phone appart from practicality.
I loved the phone for the 3G / UMTS connection but Microsoft had prooved again how badly they design their OS.
I agree with you that it is cool but it is a gadget and gadgets are cool.
But if you want to be serious and do some work , you would wait , upgrade the ROM when a new version comes up , sync again ...and waste your time.
It is no suprise that companies who control the biggest of the mobile phone market they don't use the WM as an OS but symbian.
On the other hand I am very happy to read this forum and I would missed that .

Using the ROM of QTEK the BT JX-10 lost it's service and I had to re-enable it at the time that I was in a meeting.
With i-mate ROM i didn't had this issue but sometimes the voice was breaking up.
hi
in one of the posts above.. i noticed that the author is using gps via BT
i love my jasjar and use a holux bt gps with the universal but every 6to 7 mins the jj goes screen off and i have to re-establish the BT connection
how can i make some settings that would let me JJ keep awake and not turn the BT off...
im using the latest qtek rom aswell
thanks

I don't know why that happens. If I were you I would do the following.
1. USe the houlx with another pocketpc to find out if the problem lies with the holux GPS or the Universal.
2. If it's the Universal upgrade to the latest ROM.
3. I use the Universal in my car with an active holder. So it's charging while I am using my GPS and the screen stays active. Maybe that has something to do with it but I doubt it. I use the Adapt 300 GPS by the way.

From your footer I see that you have a history with WM including VELO 1.
I had one too , and return it for a PSION and then PALM devices and never got a WM device only till recently.
FYI, the jasjar syncs with MAC OK with missing sync beta 2.5a10 .
I think I would go for an E61 nokia instead .
I just sold my O2 Exec on eBay too, for the same reasons -- not practical for business. Too "clunky" physically... OS and software too slow.
Back to my SX66 (BA)...
mooving from format windows PC to "format" WM5

If a symbian OS mobile was using a 500Mhz processor than it would be able to make some coffee , wash the dishes ..etc.
WM5 mobiles are power / memory / system resources hungry .
Of course it always depends of the user , if you want the smallest notebook like a friend here wrote than it is the one.

Change your AKU version from .0.4.2 to .0.3.1 using the registry editor and do a soft reset and you should be good to go.
I'm using Schap 3.60a this way since the release of the Rom and BB connect is working smoothly.
BBconnect work only if regional setting is english. In french i can't connect
Rom Version: 3.0 Sleuth
ROM Date: 07/05/07
Radio Version: 1.48.0.0
Protocol Version: 32.81.7020.20H
BlackBerry Version: 4.0.0.67
Transport Version: 4.0.0.70
Notes: The past two weeks - I had to do a soft reset to get my e-mail pushed down. Not sure why. Aside from that it's been working great.
It would be great if it could be a bit more responsive.
Schaps 3.54C working with BB Connect 4.0.0.90 except...
Got all working,, but one wierd thing,,that I don't know if anyone else is experiencing. When I suspend BBconnect, then get Wifi to surf on my IE explorer, the IEexplorer(with the BBBrowser configured in to it), will not pick up any data via Wifi.. It's like the IEexplorer refuses to use any other connection except the BB connection.. Anyone else had this experience? I use hotspots quite a bit, and find that quite inconvenient. The only repair that I could think of was to try loading Opera browser(not mini), and now I can surf after Suspending BBconnect, on Wifi.. Thks for any comments
WM6 Pro CE os 5.2.1437 (build 17944.0.3.1)
I've Tried a bunch of times to use BB Connect and it fails. I'm using vp3G's rom, and the issue that I have, is that I cannot get a PIN for the life of me.
I thought I would bump this.
I had a connection fine, and now all of a sudden, I get network available and then it dies.
My AKU is changed to .0.3.1 but nothing.
Any other suggestions on what could be up
This was working yesterday...
just started working...so very odd
Sorry, this may be an obvious and stupid question.
My company is using a bez server I have my activation code but am unable to get BBconnect to work. I have 3g network/internet going everything else works fine but does your sim card have to be BB enabled somehow? I am with Softbank in Japan and figure there is something stopping me from connecting.
Thanks,

Definitely, your SIM card has to be BB-enabled by service provider.
IT Policy bypass
On the side note - did anyone look at disabling the BBC4 enforced screen lock or pocking around / hacking the \Application Data\RIM\BlackBerry\BlackBerryDB and BlackBerryDB2 files in general on 4.0.0.XX yet ?
BBC4 IE Browsing via corporate network would eliminate the need for IE to break the BBC connection and re-connect via the provider ( ATT MediaNet ). But the annoying enforced BES policy screen lock settings prevent me from moving on to BBC4.
Otherwise 2.1.2.54 ( if you care works just fine on BlackSatin with HEX'ed coredll.dll for me and few other folks.
Hi stoker1,
got the same probelm. IE on doesn't work anymore after using BBBrowser. Other applications do connect like minifox or IM+. Did you find a solution. HTC ROM WM6, BBconnect 4.0.0.90

I don't believe there is a solution yet. Aside from using netfront or opera
re: IE Explorer not working with BB connect installed
The Regular IE explorer gets re configured by BBconnect, and becomes virtually useless by itself to get any data. You end up , of course using the BBbrowser ,which is the reconfigured IE browser, which can be found in the BBfolder (when BBconnect is in the enables status). Unfortunately, the reconfiguration makes the IEbrowser a poor excuse for a browser. It can receive data, and apparently compressed,, but it seems extremely slow. The only better solution I have found, is to use Opera mini(Ilove that browser), very ingenious little inventions within the app. I also just loaded the new Opera 8.65 full browser as a trial. I will try to make the Opera full as a default for now. Not sure how many obstacles that might involve. My main problem is trying to download attachments coming from emails sent by Bbconnect. I don't seem to see any paramenters for saving files that are sent to me on my BIS email, and watching how Bbconnect says that it is retrieving the attachment is extremely painful, because you have no idea if it really is downloading, and have no idea when it is finished. If anyone out there has any browser that works well downloading files, would appreciate their ideas. Also, most of the time, I am always seeing what program will work the best with Wifi, instead of Gprs data. Obviously, the right combo to diminish data costs would be great. I seem to go to comm manager way too much with bbconnect, because I have to go to Status, disable most of the time, so as I can use my browsers and/or wifi.. One big question which would be helpful is, if I were to go in to BBsettings, I wonder what would happen if I deleted the two lines having to do with BBbrowser configuration. Maybe if I deleted them, I would only have email (which is fine by me), and I would be freed up to use my IE browser without BB connect conflict.
running :
Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.0.0_ATT_BBC
so hacked Ce OS : 5.1.195 (build 17944.2.30)
bbconnect 2.1.2.54
transport 2.1.0.91
I did have bbconnect 4 installed but didn't like the device locking after 30 mins (our IT policy) so reverted back to 2
Connecting to out office Bes (i think)
I'm on Orange uk (who I had to ask for blackberry services to be enabled - they're not by default, and it was a lengthy conversaition as they wanted to make sure I understood it wasn't going to work and was unsupported!)
~ The funny point of that being they rang me back a couple of days later to check I still wanted bb services enabled (still convinced it couldn't work, so I sent the "techie" haha chap I was speaking to some screen shots) and suggested he reads this website!
Working WM6 ROM and Radio Configuration
Hey guys,
I was hooked on Schap's 3.60 ROM but couldn't get BBConnect to work at all so I started experimenting. First I downgraded the ROM to 3.54c but kept Radio 1.50 but no dice. I can get a connection but not consistently. I downgraded the radio to 1.47 and it worked. So i've stuck to ROM 3.54 and Radio 1.47 ever since.
I don't know if this will work for everyone but it works for me even after several hard resets. Perhaps someone can try if ROM 3.54 Radio 1.47 and BBConnect 4.0.0.90 works for you too.
