OK, I dind´t explained properly. I meant update it when it will be released.
That´s a great news.
Thnks buddy
No problem !. I'm testing Crosbow on Universal !. I see Ok, speed fastly... However, Video Call Driver do not support, some tast slowly...
I continue test !. You're wait <removed> release !.
EDIT MDAIIIUser
As of 2.1.2007 there is no crossbow release that has got into the hands of the general public.
Crossbow has been released to some designated parts of the developers/partners community, and is currently being tested on the Universal (among others). While it seems highly unlikely that the Universal will ever see a formal Crossbow ROM, I can at least confirm that by all standards it is not ready for public use yet. It contains far too many bugs still.

I understand, but please stop me if I´m wrong, ok?
1.What is the next operating system to update to our machines? I thought it was Crossbow and quiestion no1 leads us to question no2.
2. Crossbow = WM5 SE or WM06?
Independently the future operating systems we will get soon or later, do u think the universal will be old-fashioned or not full-updated to the operating systems that are coming?

Correct. While Crossbow indeed has been made available to be tested on the Universal platform, it will not be released formally for the Universal by any of the OEMs. Economically simply not interesting enough for them.
Crossbow will not make it to the end-user before end Q1 mid Q2 '07, and by then we will more than likely have seen the introduction of the HTC Omni by then.

So, the HTC Omni will be the substitute/the brand-new Universal????
Personally, I don´t mind if Athena is the next Universal bc in my opinion is not "that better" than the Universal but I will mind if our there were no possibility to oficially-update our machines to the latest operating systems.
See u guys
P.S.: I´m texting u from the future bc I´m now in the year 2007
The HTC was, is and will still be the Universal's successor. The Athena will be a completely different model for a different audience, and will be more of a UMPC alternative.

Hi! I'm Universal (Qtek9000) user, and I have problems with receiving SMS Messages. My former ROM was a Qtek 1.30.77 original, now I use the Helmi's v 1.2 and 1.3 but I often couldn't get SMS Messages. After installing some features (e.g.: changebacklightcommand.cab) is my PDA no more able to receive the SMS. Only the HR helps in this case.
With the ROM 1.30.77 freesed sometimes the system after incoming an SMS.
So, if you can tell me some solution, i would be happy! Thankyou!

Could you give more information about the HTC Omni? Or a source, where I can search for infos?
Think the consumers in US, especially the QTEK users in US may be able to give the QTEK guys some pressure to release it. Consumer is king in US.
QTEK in US release the A2DP which till now still not "Officially Released" in any other part of the world and we are using HACK from some good guys in this forum.
Put more pressure, we may get an official release?
Anyway, official or not, M$ Software is always buggy, the whole worlds knows. Have you guys ever count how many service pack it is sent for XP? Take it or leave it, thats M$.
Plus pressure to release devices to market, the OEM & service provider part of the software can be even more buggy.
That again, we need all the good souls here to help each other out.
Anyway, they are also watching us to get their product improved.
Keep up the spirit
Happy 2007

HTC Roadmap 2007
http://www.hpc.ru/lib/arts/2258/
The HTC Omni most likely will be a little thinner and it will run wm6 (crossbow) alone those two facts would be enough arguments for me to pay the 200 € (that's probably will be what tmobile germany will charge for it in connection with a new contract) for it.

Sorry you !. Because I don't see problem with SMS Messages in any ROM version ( O2, QTEK, I'mate, Indra, Helmi, IVAN ).
Who can help him ?. Please help !.
My Universal is almost 14 months old now. Initially I did have the problem of incoming SMS causing the device to freeze. I used to get some of the SMS's but at other times the device used to freeze requiring a soft reset.
Finally what I discovered was that I had removed the Messaging icon from the Today screen. The moment I put it back everything is okay since then. Say in the last 1 year not a single SMS has caused freeizing of the device and I reveive a lot of messages during the day.
I don't know if this holds for you but if you do not have the messaging icon on the today screen try to put it back. Hope it helps.
Best Regards
Yes, thank you very much for the information, but this article is known, and on many of home pages available. Unfortunatelly those haves nothing new about the new Omni phone. Everybody is happy for the Athena, but i don't think that it's as easy to use, as the Uni.

Anyone know anything about the O2 software/firmware update for the Orbit, what it might contain and prospective date ?
Any wild speculation will do
how do you know that there is a new firmware coming out?
Will O2 release a firmware or is it being made by someone?
I have written a email to o2 UK and o2 germany.
Their answer (o2 UK):
" ... Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately we don’t currently have any timescales for the Xda Orbit with regards the ROM, we are usually informed approximately 1 month prior to the release of a new ROM update however we have no information as yet. I can only apologise for this and suggest you periodically view our website at www.o2.co.uk/xda for further information related to this, as this website will hold the ROM once it is available...."

O2 update
I think you'll find that's for the prophet!!
I've just come off the phone to O2 in the UK (Business support), and the told me:
They are hoping to get the WM6 update out in early summer - June/July.
BUT.....
This will be for new devices only, so you may need to buy a new handset - (urrently) They may issue a update, but they might also make us pay for it.
So, come on guys - get hitting the O2 XDA support site, and request the WM6 update!
Well, if they will issue an update, it shouldn't take long for it be shared on the net
German Version Available
Looks like the german release is available - does anyone know if we are any closer to seeing an english version.
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6380.html
This is my reply from O2 regarding this, I can also raise the request with their customer relations department as well if required - I'm currently battling to get them to reduce their data pricing and having some success but thats another issue.

Good afternoon Gavin,
Thank you for your email.
We are currently in the process of testing the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade
on the Xda Orbit. We currently have an extensive testing process that
is in process to ensure the Windows Mobile 6 works without any major
flaw, this is to also ensure the customer experience is far better.
Unfortunately as yet we do not have any timescales for the release
however I shall keep details of your email address and as soon as this
is made available I shall notify you.
If you have any further problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards

Sounds like good news?
I received this response from O2 UK Yesterday.
Thank you for your email.
We are currently working on releasing a new ROM update for the Xda Orbit, this will include Windows Mobile 6 rather than Windows Mobile 5 which the device is setup to use at the moment, this is in testing stages and as yet we are unaware of when this will be made available.
Unfortunately we do not currently have any timescales for the release of Windows Mobile 6 as stated this is currently going through testing and until the testing has been done to a satisfactory outcome we shall not know when the release will be available.
If you have any further problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi,
I installed the WM6 ROM, which is provided by O2 Germany. I encountered no problems during the installation and Tomtom is working without any further registration. Now I will install my standard software like spb shell, ozi-explorer and gps-dash. Til now, WM6 seems to be a step ahead .
Kind regards,

Has anyone successfully put the O2 german rom onto the Orbit shipped by O2 Uk?
Good/Bad/Wait for the UK release?

Can you select English menus or is the phone now only in German?
Bepe had made a World Wide English WM6 ROM from the origional German ROM that has been released. I have successfully flashed this ROM onto my CID LOCKED UK XDA Orbit thanks to Prof's USPL tool.
Look in the Artemis Windows Mobile 6 forum. There are loads of threads on it in there.
I sent a mail to O2 Support about a query I had and also asked avout the ROM Upgrade !!! Here's the reply I got yesterday...
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your email.
We do not currently have a ROM that is available to download for the Xda Orbit and Blackberry will not work with the Xda Orbit as yet until a release of Blackberry software is made available (Please note: We are not aware if or when Blackberry software will be released for the Xda Orbit).
In regards WM6 we are currently in the process of testing this version on the Xda Orbit and until we have completed all testing we will not be making it available to our customers, as yet we have no exact timescales however we are expecting the release to be made available before the end of summer.
If you have any further problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards

Official email from dopod
Hi Chris,
Yes, I was informed that we will be releasing WM6 for the 838pro in about 4 weeks time. This however is test ROM code – we will need to get it tested by Mobile Operators. Testing could take upto another 4 weeks time. Dopod expects to release WM6 for 838pro in about 2 months time from now. The WM6 will have all the fixes built into the new AKU.
Thanks.

This is good news.

They're not keen on deploying it to 500 odd machines for one user at the moment (especially me, i am but a mere pleb here)... especially considering i think AS4.5 is still labelled as beta. But if a few senior execs start making similar requests, guarantee it'll be deployed immediately.

Basically someone at my level has little/no chance of getting a specialised item of software installed
thanx walshieau, good news !
June is about to end and nothing on O2 web site about the new ROM. Any news / updates available for XDA Orbit?
yeah!!!, gotta email them and tell them not to be lazy anymore.
at least release the factory rom for o2 uk, then my phone can be back to life!!
My update from O2...
I emailed O2 with this exact question....(When will WM6 be available for download)
They called me a day later saying that they intend to release WM6 for the Orbit at the end of summer (around end of August sometime). That was exactly what they told me.............
I guess it's just a bit more of a waiting game then..........so annoying when version 6 has been around for a while already.....

I'm getting annoyed with O2, they are taking our money away and doing nothing back. Orbit is such a lovely phone and the only reason they do not release the wm6 update is to buy a new xda. Buggers.

Yes, I emailed them a few days ago and got a reply from support saying that they were not going to offer a WM6 upgrade for any current WM5 devices.

Thanks for your emaI Julian, asking when a Window Mobile 6 upgrade will be available for your phone.
I realise that this is important to you and I'm pleased you've emailed me to help.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that we will not be releasing a upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 for your phone. We have decided that bringing in new MDA devices that make best use of the features of Windows Mobile 6 is a better use of our resources than rolling it out on existing devices which already work well with Windows Mobile 5.
I realise this is disappointing however, I'm pleased to tell you that we'll be including Windows Mobile 6 on all new MDA devices that are launched. This will be starting with the MDA Touch and MDA Vario III in September.
Once again, I'm sorry for the upset this may cause and I hope I've explained things clearly for you today.
Thanks for taking the time to email me Julian. I hope you continue to enjoy using your T-Mobile phone.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to reply to this email or you may find the help you need by visiting http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?menuid=faqPage.

Yes, I got the same response a few weeks ago.
After playing with WM6 and Touch Flo on my wifes new MDA Touch I took the plunge and flashed Tom's Black & Blue ROM v4.0. It works very well with the MDA Compact 3 and even seems to have slightly better GPS battery performance and the orginal ROM (see my thread on battery performance).
So far I have not had any issues with it other than the ones posted on the huge thread on the ROM. The only pain for me is the lack of video playback but I believe Tom is working on this.
Other minor bugs include,
Today screen not updating unless you soft reset (not a big deal)
Regards
One of the things that has stopped me from trying WM6 is my uncertainty of being able to get back to an original ROM/Ext ROM.
Do you have a link to the originals that I can download?
Many thanks, J.

I have the original rom somewhere. I will upload tonight hopefully but belive me. There is no reason to go back.
I have a UK MDA Compact III and upgraded to a few roms before settling on the official Asian rom (as its in english) and its perfect. Does all the same stuff but better.
Ive flicked between official Tmob rom and the WM6 ones no problems. Been on WM6 for several months now and all is good. No issues that warrant a change back.
I dont like black and blue due to the junk it has installed and this isnt the most powerful device on the planet. So I use the official rom with the black skin so it looks as good but runs infinatly faster.
