Hi there
I have just bought a "new" SPV M5000 - I say new as the box was still sealed but not sure how long it was on the shelf! Anyway I am having a few problems with it, such as not working with ActiveSync, appalling battery life etc...
Anyway, this is on Orange and has the following device info:
Operator version 7.113.1.130
ROM version: 1.13.49 WWE
ROM date: 09/20/05
Radio version: 1.03.00
Protocol version: 42.36.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.130 WWE
I am pretty sure this is all out of date, but what is the best route for upgrading it all? I have seen some posts on here that discusses upgrading just the radio, or even replacing the ROM completely with QTEC..? I am not too fussed about keeping the Orange branding - just want a reliable ersion that will work with ActiveSync! Any comments/suggestions will be very welcome!!!
Cheers
Sean
Sorry to say but you have the latest from Orange. It's the same as mine.
I had no problem with ActiveSync before, but I've since done a reinstall on my PC and now ActiveSync wont work with USB connection with my firewall active (zonealarm)and have to shut it down for it to work. It still will sync using Bluetooth. I checked all my firewall settings and couldn't find a problem. Conclusion win xp the best(not)!! Try reinstalling your PC operating system and good luck
If you've got a firewall then change the access rights to allow active sync. This worked for me. As for battery, make sure Blue Tooth is off and keep the device charging when not in use. I keep mine charging from the USB at all times. I believe battery life is poor if you are in a poor service area where your device constantly searches for a signal. There's always an answer in the forums - keep searching.

I don't know for which purpose is developed BA (mine is QTEK 9090).
I've bought it because I need a phone and at same time also a little computer to download messages from my business mail.
At this moment the situation is this:
Telephone:
totally randomly, when I answered to a call I can't hear nothing. I need to soft reset to reactivate audio for calling in or out.
Active Sync:
I've scheduled to check my mail every half an hour. After the first call (either by gprs or by cellular line) i receive an error from the connection manager (connmgr_33 error) and I need to soft reset or restart radio to make a new synchronization.
So I spent the most of my time to soft reset the phone. BHA! :? :?
I've installed the last ROM available
ROM: 1.40.04 ITA
RADIO: 1.12.00
ExtRom: 1.40.153 ITA
Protocol: 1337.42
I ve NOTHING ELSE installed on.
Could someone help me , please?
Thanks in advance
Diego
(I'm sorry for my English)
If you wanted something you could actually use you should have read this forum before buying. I sure wish I had. This wasn't a very constructive answer... but its not a very constructive handset
I'd have to agree. Since reading this form as part of my research into buying a decive I've decided to hold off for a while until either these bugs are fixed in a new ROM or until a newer and better working device becomes available.
well i'ts a viscious cycle really. you wait for a rom update to fix known bugs, only to find out it introduces another set of new bugs. :lol:
you'll never really know when is the right time to purchase a device. the pace for newer devices are too fast. :wink:
I would only know if the problems I've explained are common problems or only for my phone.
Thanks
Diego
I think that I've resolved the problem.
I've downgraded to old ROM:
ROM: 1.22.04 ITA
RADIO: 1.06.02
Protocol: 1337.38
Thanks
hi
does any one know.... the clubimate initially posted a date of sept 30 but thats like half a month ago...and then no news..
i was wondering if any of you know>>>
They have released a new ROM. It's on the site. Go look on their site - http://www.clubimate.com
inspectorgadget ...the rom posted (though has a higher version than the ones shipped on the devices originally) but is actually the same version literally..the imate ppl by mistake put an arabic rom for jasjar as UPGRADE on their site which when used by many many ppl to upgrade led them to have a very expensive paper weight... the imate ppl then to correct their fault released the current rom (with a different version number to differentiate from shipped roms) so that those expensive paperweights could be used as pda's and phones again...
at that time when this debacle happened imate support ppl wrote on that very page that infact the correct rom UPDATE (not restore) would be released sept 30th....that date has come and gone half a month ago..and there is no official news on that jasjar support page anymore regarding the actual ROM UPDATE... hence my question here...
No it is not technically the same ROM. Try a search on the forum....you will see that they originally posted an arabic rom, then they posted the original rom to fix that mistake, and then they posted the new rom.
The rom version shipped with the device is:
Rom version: 1.12.00
Radio version: 1.03.00
ExtROM version: 1.12.132
And the new one:
Rom version: 1.13.53
Radio version: 1.03.01
ExtROM version: 1.13.137
I'm not sure what the new features are exactly, but I do know that the operator gprs/mms settings are now installed for you when you hard reset the phone, and there is an antivirus cab file too which you can install, but I lost mine.
There is also now application signing too, which is annoying, but can be disabled in the registry.
People say there is more free memory after the update...about 7mb I think.
hi
the antivirus **** cabs been on mine since start...and after unistalling the back gammon,antivirus and skype cabs after hard reset the newer versoin of the rom has infact 700kb less space than the original one shipped on my jasjar
Need Help Please on jasjar new rom
I loaded the new rom on my jasjar and my whole screen disappeared and I don't know how to bring it back to life.
I tried to reset in every way but it comes back to the same black screen and I'm not able to sync. I'm pulling my hair

1)dont panic
2)search for UNI_ExitBootloader.zip. run the exe in it to get the things back to normal. This often happens with g4 universal.
And yeah, make sure that the activesync is set not to listen the usb ports
jasjar is not seen on USB
I have the same problem with my Jas Jar, after trying to update.
I tried UNI_ExitBootloader.zip but unfortunately the connection with USB does not recognize the device. I checked the activesync connections settings many times, but the Jas jar is like dead. Is not recognised by the USB!!!!!
any suggestion......

does anyone know new ROM from Orange release 25 August 06.....??
any link....??
Here we go with this new - ROM -
http://www.business.orange.co.uk/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Business&c=OUKPage&cid=1142943309969
I understand that upgrades to radio 1.13, but what's about the rest of the version, i mean rom and so on?
thanks.
I'd also want to know what is new in this ROM aside from the radio. Does this ROM have both AKU2 and A2DP support?
Does upgrading to 1.13 on the radio make much of a difference?
In an area where I used to get a 5 bar signal strength on the alpine with radio 1.04 I now get a 2 bar signal with the Universal and my wife complains bitterly that the sound breaks up whilst I'm talking to her...

It is hard to answer your question because different radio versions have different performances on different locations. So you basically have to try it yourself to determine if this will improve the quality of your calls in your area. The most important thing to know is you will not loose your current settings or programs installed as long as you ONLY UPGRADE THE RADIO VERSION AND STAY AWAY FROM UPGRADING THE REST OF THE ROM.
Thanks will give it a whirl - iirc its a case of deleting the nk.nbf and ms_.nbf files out of the upgrade?

Yes, and using the Ma_Upgarde_No_ID Tool to install it. I'll probably try and install it too myself today.
I think it's time that some informed people start telling the rest of us what's changing from version to the following: personal impressions on perfomance are often contraddictory, many are downgrading after upgrading. What's going on?
Gah now I'm annoyed.
I applied just the radio update and at the end when it told me to do a cold start I did just a normal soft reset, fingers well away from the keyboard. It starts to boot and I notice from the splash screen that it's QVGA instead of VGA as I expect. I think "Oh OK I just need to run ozVGA again it's just got reset by the update" - all of a sudden it tells me to "Tap the screen to begin using Windows"
Not amused.
Fortunately I kept a backup but that's really annoyed me.

excuse my ignorance (cause it's really buggin me too! ) but how do you backup the EXEC? on previous PPC's there was a backup to falsh utility. all i've seen are references to backing up 'my documents'. i would like to have a full backup like i used to get.
any help appreciated.
nevermind "Spb backup" it is!
hi gquipster
did you see any difference in the radio upgrade??
i am also having a little reception difficulty with radio 1.09 sometimes 5 bars and couple of minutes later in the same location no reception so any feedback will be appreciated. thanks
Backups:
When I say a backup what I meant is that all the cab files etc that I use are all stored on the SD card so it was just a case of rerunning them rather than having to dig them all out. Also all my files are kept on my SD card as well.
I see they've removed the backup option from ActiveSync 4.2 anyone know why that would be?
Radio 1.13:
Well I haven't really noticed much difference in the signal strength indicator on the screen but call quality whilst sat at my desk seems the same - perhaps slightly better. It does seem to be answering calls marginally quicker but that could be wishful thinking.
Real test will be as I drive home this evening, several areas where the phone broke up yesterday where my Alpine didn't so see how the new Radio performs there.
I actually didn't use the no_id upgrade tool I re-encoded the radio_.nbf file changing the operator id to O2 and then used the ROMUpgradeUt.exe etc from the last official O2 update just with the nk.nbf and ms_.nbf files removed. Maybe that's why it hard reset my phone? Not entirely sure.
Anyway if there is anyone with a debugger/decompiler/whatever who can analyse exactly what the changes between Radio 1.09/1.11 and 1.13 are I'd be very interested, I'm wondering if it's actually the same update just with a different version number depending upon the service provider!!!
G
Did someone above mention that this rom makes the screen qvga? I would be interested in that, as long as it doesn't screw up my phone software (like it does with ozVGA). Just to get a clear picture, how good is this upgrade, if anyone has anything to offer from experience, when compared with Imate JJ 1.30.82 WWE and 1.09.00 (radio) I am using on my universal (O2 xda exec).
i applied the radio rom to the qtek rom. no problems - no qvga
Device Information :
Operator version : 7.130.1.174 <---- NEW info...What it is..?
ROM Version : 1.30.90 WWE
ROM date : 02/24/06
Radio version : 1.13.00
Protocol version : 42.47.P8
ExtROM version : 1.30.174 WWE
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0) ----> AKU 2.0 (nothing new)
i think this is same with previous orange ROM, the new one ONLY Radio 1.13.00 updated, and have NO issue with new radio, everything seem OK..!
will be revert back to AKU3.2_Ivan and keep this radio...
I got QVGA cos I think I fscked up the update and it ended up cold booting my system. Haven't yet looked at exactly what I did wrong yet, might do if I get a chance after work this evening.
My current config now is:
ROM Version: 1.30.107 WWE
ROM Date: 04/11/06
Radio Version: 1.13.00
Protocol Version: 42.47.P8
ExtROM Version: 1.30.162 WWE
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
Notice you have a different ExtROM version to me - what exactly is different do you know?
I'm off on holiday as of tomorrow so may not get much of a chance to reply for a week or so (depending upon how many emails I get in my work account by the time I get back!!!)
G
Is there A2DP support in this new ROM?
Radio 1.13
Seemed slightly better whilst driving home today my wife didn't complain about me breaking up as much but she did say that it still wasn't as good quality as the "that other gadgetty thing you used to have" (Alpine).
Also for the first time this evening it detected a 3G signal in my house (0 bars but it detected it!!!) for all of 5 minutes before switching back to a 5 bar GSM signal. Will try moving it nearer to a window and see if I can get the 3G signal back, but thats a definite improvement.
Anyway all subjective I'm afraid as I don't have the expertise and/or the tools to be able to do proper testing.
Still need to figure out exactly what I'm doing with cooking ROMs etc first...

Anyone else having trouble with Dopod 900 or other HTC versions ActiveSync ?
I bought Dopod 900 in China, Aug 29, 2006.
ROM version: 1.30.111.WWE.
ROM date: 04/06/06.
Radio version: 1.04.02
Protocol version: 42.37.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.134 CHT
It was in Chinese when I bought it, but since I can't read Chinese, I had someone change to English.
Cannot successfully link up ActiveSync computer to phone using USB connection.
Problems: I cannot connect my notebook computer (SHARP MP30) to the Dopod 900 using ActivSync successfully. I downloaded the new ActiveSync this week. It tries to connect, then crashes the computer to bluescreen. I disabled firewalls and antivirus in the beginning. Phone seems to recognize the computer, but computer cannot "find" phone. Also, some things like voice automated calls don't work; Some functions are not Chinese and not English anymore? Any suggestions, or do I just us what works on it? Thanks
Current phone service provider: China Mobile. Later will take to U.S. and use T-Mobile service.
Hope this can be helpful to start discussions with others who have similar problems.
----------------------------------------
Sept 8, Beijing: Just figured it out myself. Maybe this will help any others with similar ActiveSync / Dopod 900 problems. Very simple solution actually........ DISCONNECT from the internet. Disable all firewalls and anti-virus temporarily. Then hook up by cable and ActiveSync works perfectly!!!
Since I got my Exec I've been having problems with GPRS seeming to get 'stuck' connected but not transferring data. After a couple of hours following a reset ActiveSync will sit there with the "Sychronizing folders.." message in Outlook for quite a while and then fail. I guess the connection is no longer there, despite WM thinking it is. As a result the DirectPush email is nearly useless and I have to keep resetting the device.
At first I thought it was related to AKU 2.0, so I upgrade to Helmi AKU 3.3 and now AKU 3.5, both of which also have the same issue.
Here is my device info:
OS: 5.1.342 (Build 15698.3.5.0)
ROM version: 2.50.00 WWE
ROM date: 09/20/06
Radio version: 1.09.00
Protocol version: 42.42.P8
ExtROM version: 1.30.162 WWE
Has anyone else seen this issue? Or more importantly, what ROM are you using that doesn't have this issue??
Many thanks.

i've had your problem, and solved it.
let me guess, you have a proxy configured to your internet settings - right?
if so, the activesync "inherits" those proxy settings (yes, from the ppc) and tries to use the same proxy - which it can't get to, because its using your home ISP and not the GPRS isp.
(i've checked this with a network sniffer (Ethereal) and i was right - the activesync tried to use the proxy that was configured on my device)
to prove you this is the case, create a blank, proxyless connection settings, and set "The Internet" and "My Work Network" to use it. (don't forget to check the V on "This network connects to the internet" on the connection's proxy settings.
after doing this, try to sync and voilla - it'll work.
to fix it permanently - read my how-to guide on using proxies.

Thanks for the info, shlomki. I think I may have explained my issue badly, as I think we're talking about different things.
When I talked about ActiveSync I meant on the PPC rather than through my PC. The problem I have is that for the first couple of hours I can get push email ok. But then my GPRS connection seems to get 'stuck' and ActiveSync for push email just hangs for a while trying to sychronize, but then fails.
Thanks again for the info.
oh, sorry, i misunderstood.
i don't know what can cause this..
maybe try to check if you can still browse the web when it happens? maybe its a issue with your connection..
Thanks shlomki, good advice. I noticed the GPRS login was the old o2wap, so I changed it to mobileweb and it seems a bit better. I wonder if it was some connection or bandwidth issue with the old login. However I will try what you suggest if I get it again and report back.
Well I've been using the newer O2 pay monthly GPRS login details and my connection seems a lot more solid! I've been testing over the last 24 hours and it's been working pretty consistent.
