hmmm I bought the stuff to use manipulator for the xda 2 but it seems I can't use it. However, can I reflash my phone to be an xda for it to work or will a new version of manipulator be out soon?
blitz66 smoke weed everyday aka hustler gangsta 4 life
xda2 xdaiii m1000 and himilaya versions
the program only works with xda1's and people say only with xda1's with surden radiostacks
you cant make your device into a xda1
i know of no new version of the program and the only thing
you can use it for while you cant do otherwise
is changing the EMIE which is illegal in most places
hmmm ok how?
how is that possible?
how is what possible ?

Hi
I have used an XDA 1 up until recently and loved it. I used a wired GPS with tomtom3 and it worked well.
I asked O2 which one I should buy. XDA IIs or IIi based on the fact I wanted Wi_Fi and to use wireless GPS with tomtom3. The support guy said 'go for IIi as it's the latest and best, supporting bluetooth for tomtom'.
I ordered the IIi and a 1 year contract from O2. It arrived and I unpacked it and low and behold, it would not install with tomtom3. 'Unkown System Architecture' was the error. I spoke with TomTom and they said IIi is not supported, only the II and IIs..... Great :?
I now either wait to see if TomTom3 add IIi to their compatible list OR i revert to the IIs. This is my question... Should I wait, or go for the IIs?
I must say for the record though.... I am impressed with the IIi and Wi-Fi but general build quality is dissapointing. The software is buggy and the camera is utterly useless and quite simply not worth using on the camera. It gives black images which are just useless. The build of the actual phone is tinny and the battery duration is terrible. Compared to my XDA, the phone runs out rapidly.
Bit of a nightmare now as I dont know whether I am better off waiting for IIi to be supported or exchange for the IIs.
??????? DOH!
:roll:
anybody tried both?
I'd send it back to O2 under the 14 Day Money Back and get yourself an XDA IIs, I run BT TomTom 3 on my XDA IIs works a treat even without the Broadcom Patch.
Although to use a BT Headset I needed the Patch.
Good Luck
Bluetooth
Thanks nixonm
I'm certainly considering it... I have 7 days left to decide... Just seems a shame to not have the latest one, although I actually prefer the look of the black IIs.
I have heard the bluetooth is slightly intermittent on the IIs, although the specs look the same on my-xda.com.
I assume you dont find this to recommend the IIs. Are you running this with the tomtom bluetooth GPS receiver?
I am using a Fortuna ClipOn Bluetooth GPS, had no problems connecting it to the XDA IIs.
Had loads of problems with my Motorola HS810 bluetooth headset, until I installed the Bluetooth patch from the FTP site.
The lastest ROM release just released by O2 fixes this also.
I looked at the O2 XDA IIi too, but it's slightly wider & taller, no keyboard and silver, plus the TomTom issues.
im running tomtom navigator 3 fine on my xda2i with a bt gps - i've not seen that problem you are having.
fyi my rom versions...
rom version 1.10.00 WWE
dated 12/24/04

Very interesting! I have been speaking with TomTom themselves and they said it wasn't on their compatability list. I tried installing TomTom3 and it warned of Unknown Architecture. I even tried the 3.07 upgrade installer which tomtom provided and they wouldnt work. My ROM versions are identical to yours.
I am happy with what you have said though as it gives me some hope to get it running on the IIi. I will try re-installing once again on the IIi.
Thanks
if it helps, I havent tried anything newer than ttn3 version 3.02 - was going to try the 3.07 update later today. I'll get a pic of it running on my 2i up somewhere when i get a chance so you know im not making it up !!
good luck !
malty
hope im ok uploading pics.... please delete if not. Excuse the mucky greenhouse .. its not mine
Cheers for that maltloaf
I didn't disbelieve you anyway, but those images will help me when dealing with TomTom as you clearly have it running. I did think it was odd how the IIs used the same OS as IIi, but mine just doesn't like the install.
I am going to try a hard reset to factory conditions and then re-install.
Cheers for your info.
I also have TT3 3.02 on my XDA2i, in one car i use a cradel with a wired GPS and in my car i use a leadtek Bluetooth all with no problems, but i did try the 3.07 and it stoped working, ( ithink i know why that is tho )
John
I also have the TomTom V3 with bluetooth working on my XDA IIi works great, better that running it on XDA IIs.
My advice would be to stick to the XDA IIi.
>>>>DANGER<<<<
Allways stay away from the XDA IIs!!!
It is hazardous to your wallet! :lol:
>>>>DANGER<<<<
Wheaaah! Success!
FINALLY..... It works!
I re-installed from another disc using 3.03 and once again it warned me stating that this version of windows was un-supported and might not display properly :? However, I ingnored it and installed the UK maps and then the 3.07 upgrade. It worked!
BONUS>>> I now have it operational with Bluetooth so I am pleased.
Thanks for your help and comments.
Regards
Justin
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.

yep i got mine form orange
Hi,
I work for a communications company and we've just sold 10 of these to a company, all on O2.
Any probs, let me know.
CHeers,
Bret
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.

Can you name the exact problems?

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?
Hal
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 all...
I need help... I had an O2 Xda II & now i am planning to buy an O2 Xda IIs.
Could some users of IIs please give me some reviews on it.
Also, i hear that O2 is coming out with "XDA Exec" which is HTC Universal...
is it worth going in for IIs right now or should i wait for Exec?
Any idea on the launch price of Exec?
Look how the exec is used, search it on google, its like a mini laptop, if you like that style than thats a good phone for you. Personally I would say wait for exec because I like it more then IIs. IIs keyboard is loose, everyone in the world is missing the screw on the right side of there phone (comes out on all models and people lose it). I like my XDA IIs, but I perfer to get XDA EXEC or my XDA II back ;-).

HK$9000?! On ebay.co.uk you can get one for about $6200 on average, although there are different versions (I personally think the i-mate version is the best as it doesn't have the annoying operator software like O2 Active or something like that).

Wait for the exec... or wait for the exec II (if there will be one) as I am waiting for a Windows Mobile phone which has a built-in FM radio. That would be my dream phone!
Currently the exec (or equivalent like JasJar or MDA Pro) is about £450 on ebay.co.uk

So you need to wait for O2 Atom that coming soon see here
http://www.expansys.com.hk/product.asp?code=126950
O2 Atom --- My deam phone :lol:
Major difference between the two models:
OS (XDA IIs runs WM2003 SE by default; EXEC has WM5.0)
Camera = 1.3 vs 640x480
Just my two cents.
I wanted to join the HTC club and look at new software or original Roms for my XDA Orbit.
But the SZ number is not accepted by the system. Does anyone know why, or how I can reg. my phone with HTC?
Is there a big difference in the P3300 and the orbit?
I can Use the Original Roms right?
Thanks
Tim

Pretty much just the case I think.
Only non branded devices can be regged at HTC.
I don't think it matters. you will not find anything over there. the only thing on line is the driver for remote control.
branded devices like orbit or MDA will get their updates through their providers.
I would like to know whether the parts of my i-mate pda2k are the same with O2 XDAIII parts.. I want to replace the casing of my imate pda2k as well as the keyboard.. I am just planning to buy defective O2 XDA III to replace some parts on my imatepda2k.
Do all the screws, fittings, external and internal parts of imate pda2k same with O2 XDA III?
and the O2 XDAIII the same with O2 XDAIIs? they do look the same..

You should look in the wiki, you will see all the possible name variations for the BA. If I am not mistaken, the only thing that may change between models is having a camera (or not like the SX66). The only BA-type device that will have a difference is the Harrier (CDMA version of the BA) which has a few more important differences.
i believe there are actually more differences in the hardware specs, like two different displays or something and i do remember there was a table on the wiki and i know, whenever i look for it, i spend ages searching, i wanted to provide the link here, but actually, i cannot find it right now... again.

True, but if he is only looking at the casing, he should not be concerned with anything "under the hood". As long as the case is the same, he will satisfy his needs.
actually i am planning for to get the casing of a defective O2 xdaIIs, which similarly looks the same with the imate pda2k.. will i succeed with this one?
