PDA2K on Cingular - Messed up voicemail notification!

One of the things I had issues with when I converted and hacked up the Audiovox SMT5600 over from AT&T Wireless to Cingular was the infamous "05" SMS notification whenever I got a voicemail and when I listened to and deleted them.
Now, thanks to MadMonkeyBoy, I am the proud owner of a PDA2K, and it's a joy to say in the very least.
However, the moment I boot up the PDA2K, it prompts me with a voicemail notification icon on the top status bar, regardless if I have one or not.
Furthermore, when I get a real voicemail, I get the 05 notification again, and I receive another one when I listen to them and delete it.
What's going wrong here? I was told by everyone that no one has issues with the PDA2K on Cingular's network, and while I fully believe them and don't blame them, I'm just pretty confused as to why I'm getting them. I have the latest firmware, and I even took the extra steps of unlocking the Extended ROM and grabbing some of the Cingular customizations from here.
Please help soon! Thanks!

I had that same problem just yeaterday on my PDA2K- Never had it before Cingular took over AT&T.... MUST be on thier end.... I cannot get rid of the Voicemail Icon even I have NO Voicemails

FYI, No such problem with my 5600 or PDA2k on Cingular here in Sacramento, CA.
The only service related problem I see is the periodic inability to make or receive calls when "roaming" on an AT&T Wireless tower. It usually corrects itself after a few tries. Once or twice I resorted to turning on/off flight mode and that corrected it. I think it is an issue with the integration of AT&T Wireless RAN and Cingular's core and expect it to improve with time.
Do you have a 32K SIM or 64K SIM? Just curious.

I have a 64K SIM that I received from a Blue store in Woodbridge, NJ. For gits and shiggles, I'm going to see if a later ROM might do the trick, but I was told that SIM replacement is likely. Any insight?

I installed the latest Arabic version of the ROM upgrade, bringing the upgrade to:
ROM version: 1.31.00 WWE
ROM date: 12/13/04
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.31.112 WWE
I then unlocked the Extended ROM and removed all the Arabic customizations and applied some of the Cingular customizations.
Unfortunately, the voicemail icon still came up and it was looking bleek. Until I stopped by another Blue store and exchanged the 64K SIM... voila! The initial voicemail notification icon was gone! Now, I'll just have to have someone leave me a voice message to see how the PDA2K responds.

Same problem here
Hi,
I was using my PDA2K fine with AT&T but upgraded my account to Cingular. They sent me a new SIM card and now I get the same "05" text messages. Has anyone figured out what is causing this and how to remedy it? Could it really be that I too have a broken SIM card?
Thanks

I'm convinces it's the SIM and the way it talks to the network. I called Cingular and of course, they're blaming the software or firmware on the device, but I have yet to find a TRUE Cingular customer (read: Orange store, not from Blue store [converted AT&T-to-Cingular]) and borrow his/her SIM to check it out.

O2 RELEASE ROM UPGRADE FOR XDA2S

I have been sent a link from O2 Data Support for downloading the new XDA2s ROM upgrade, which apparently will fix the Bluetooth problems.
The link is...
http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIs_launchROM.htm
Haven't done anything with it yet, but thought you guys might like to know...
regards,
Guy

Hmm I wonder if I can use this update on my O2 Xda2s.
I got it in Malasyia.
Noel

I installed it on my UK XDA 2s, I will report back later.

In the PDF it's saying that this version is only for devices sold by O² UK or O² Ireland... Not sure if I should give it a go on my version..
Noel

I think I might wait and see what others say about this before I install it myself. So many that have it already say it is great but then you hear others say it has caused problems.

That post is the launch rom, not an upgrade. LMAO It is intended for people who attempt to flash the XDA IIs with a different vendors rom and screw it up.
Mike

Nope, its not, click the link. O2 are obviously just too lazy to create a new page for a new rom!
Nigel

HAHA you are correct!!! LMAO oh well. :shock: :lol:

Hi..have installed the update..and have encountered several problems...was wondering if anyone could help me.
I hate the fact that the clock has disappeared from the top right so whe u are using applications its no longer visible. Is there any way of bring it back?
Also now when you click the o2 at the top it dosn't give the active connections anymore. Therefore whats the quickest way to disconnect the gprs? and is there any way of bringing that back to how it used to be?
I have also had to reset my phone more often that I had to before.
Was wondering if anyone had encountered the same problems and how to resolve them.
Thanks so much...

Bit the bullet and upgraded last night, wifi still works and as I use Corporate mode I don't get any issues with 02 active, icons or clocks. All seems normal, so far!

Have to agree with Dave. I finally bit the bullet and installed the update last night. Don't like the new O2 active and put the clock straight back with the registry key.
Other than the missing clock and poor O2 Active software which I never use anyway no real problems. Tom Tom still works fine with my Bluetooth GPS receiver. WIFI still works fine with WPA security and everything locked down on the access point.
Still receive SMS notification and its nice that you're not limited to 70 char when using ' in sms text messages now!
All ok.

har5ha:
Just get the old O2 active back. To to this, head to the xda-dev FTP site, find the old O2 XDA IIs extended rom, pull it, find the file install.ARM.CAB (O2 active)
Sync/backup yr stuff then hard reset the XDA IIs, and let it do its stuff. When leave it to install the extended rom, but be ready to soft reset it when you get asked the 'corporate/personal' question (you'll have to watch the screen since there is a timeout). Once it reboots, copy install.ARM.CAB to the machine, and execute it. It will soft reset yr device at the end.
I use 2 things from O2 active, the battery plugin and the O2 icon to kill connections. Shame billy did not think to include a disconnect dialogue as well really (he put on in for vpn).
There might be a way to install old over new, dunno. I tried and it locks loads of files (even if you prevent it from loading).
Nigel

thanks Nigel...I ended up installing gb soft for the disconnect button.
So its ok...still getting loads of crashing. I think am going to reinstall it and then use corporate mode..hopefully it will crash less!

can I get an update on xda iis rom update
Hi all, I'm still new to this whole thing but reading and researching all I can. Don't have an xda iis as of yet, but on the high streets waiting list. I like the phone and in one way, can't wait, but don't want problems when I get it, especially at the price. Can anyone on o2 that has purchased their phone from o2 let me know how you are getting on...problems...ect, before and after the update.? To be honest, I'm a bit afraid to bite the bullet and get one right now due to what I'm hearing...especially since I'm not very computer smart. I do understand that it depends a lot on the manufacturer of the phone but if I had problems like I'm hearing about it would really do my head in...(no patience). Thanks

Well I love my phone to bits...had issues with the update but now that I have hard reset it and put it corporate mode its not freezing anymore.
But you have to remember its a pocket pc...like a pc..will need to be reset every so often...I was resetting mine of average once a day. It just takes a minute.
There are some negative points..but the positive outweighs the negative I think. My old pda was palm os (clie) and this is windows which is really good! As well as the fact that it has a phone built in too!

Hi all.
Can you please post some more feedback on this rom.
How is the BT stability?
Range?
Crackling noise?
License Expired troubbles?
I know its Build 3500, but maybe something else in this rom makes a difference.
How about the problem with sound dissapering when you answer a call.
Any troubbles here? This is really a pain in the (_!_)

Running the New Rom for a couple of days now and it seems much better than the launch Rom, The O2 active stuff is just as pants as usual so remove that and the "Connections" exe from Windows\startup.
Best thing is that it's stopped the annoying bug of the GPRS settings being screwed up when you enable/disable Wi-Fi.
Recommend it myself

Anybody knows the password for this rom

PDA2K Upgrade

many thanks in advance............

No phone service and Radio Roms

hi all I've just updated my O2 xda exec using the WWE MW6.1 19174 build DarkForce rom release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365335
Intially the update didn't take, so i had to use the mtty utility to enable me to re do the update, I attempted it again and this time it worked fine.
The problem I now face is that I can connect via wireless, bluetooth etc and it is very quick, but I can't seem to get any service signal! on the screen it comes up with 3G and then it looks for O2 service but it can't find it. I've set everything to UK and set the time and date correctly, phone service wise everything is on auto, although I have tried it manually.
I have the 1.15.00 radio rom and wondered if this may be the problem; to be honest I'm not really sure what the radio rom does. Would this have any effect on my phone service signal and would updating to a more recent version help, if so where can they be downloaded?
I also have a Nokia N73 and the O2 sim works fine in that, so I know the sim is ok.
regards Lee

Same here... any sugestions?
thanks

Hi I contacted O2 yesterday afternoon and asked if my xda exec had been blocked? apparently O2 had blocked the imei number, and was supposed to have unblocked it!
I think i need to explain why...
Once upon a time... I went shopping to asda and stupidly left my xda at the checkout, the next person along had their shopping packed because they were on crutches, the packer assumed the xda was hers so they also packed my xda in with the girls shopping. 3 minutes later I came in feeling sick because i'd lost my xda, only to be told no-one had seen it. I cursed the thief and I resigned myself to having lost it. I thought quickly and realised I was near enough to have an upgrade so i contacted O2 and got an N73, phew! that was close. Approx 2 days later I received a phone call on my home phone; the lady who had my phone packed in her shopping had found it after unpacking but had to wait to unpack the shopping as she was having a kitchen fitted - I could have kissed her, it restored my faith in people. In between all that I told O2 to block the phone because as far as I was concerned some git had stolen it. After getting it back I asked them to unblock it which they said they had done. but again in the meantime i had gotten used to the N73 and the xda had just been put to one side.
After the N73 novelty had worn off I went to my xda and upgraded it and put my sim in and that's where the story begins...

change radio rom.
I have a jasjar 1.13 radio with working all wm5 but not working with all wm6. I can no find 1.15 in ftp, wiki or smw else. 1.18 radio working with wm6.
Try and find a working radio rom.

Upgrade caused GPRS over Wifi connections, recommended to HARD-SPL??!!??

Hi everyone, I am new to this topic and have only spent more time reading some of the topics relating to Hard-SPL, Roms etc since I have a had an issue with a recent upgrade of ROM supplied via Vodafone.
I have upgraded from the shipped ROM version 1.37 to 1.97, since the upgrade i was impressed with the slight changes that Vodafone had made to the screen response, and dialer slider ... BUT... wasn't impressed with the fact I am now being charged to access Windows Live, and Hotmail.
I used to be able to sit at home and access my wireless and just check my mail, since the upgrade being connected to my wireless it still connects via GPRS.
I have spoken to Vodafone and expressed my dissappointment, and they did lower my Data plan, but still it doesn't resolve the issue that i had a service which changed without notification.
They asked me to just go by my usual usage under the GPRS for the next five days just to review my usage and see how much of an impact this would make, works fine under GPRS, just a bit miffed now I can't use a feature on my phone, anyway, I went back to vodafone after 5 days and told them that I hadn't been able to download anything through my GPRS i.e attachments on emails.
I am looking to try and get this back to normal with my connections, Vodafone told me to think about doing a HARD-SPL on my phone, to check the version and to upgrade it to my phone... I have read and read and read... Now I have guides on how to do it and understood what it is for I am now confused which version I should be going for and Which ROM, I'm very worried to 'brick' my Diamond, it's the best device I have had.
BTW... Vodafone said doing this wouldn't void my warranty... that has to be a lie!!?
So I was wondering if anybody could help me to find a Hard-SPL version, ROM, Radio version that I require to upgrade my Handset I would be most greatful.
I checked the information from re-booting my phone with the down volume button pressed and dispalys the following:
DIAM100 64M
SPL-1.97.0000
Many Thanks

need help with my htc s621

hi;
need help with my htc s621, was using it in Vancouver/ Canada;
couple of mounts ago used a service here to unlock it and was able to use it in Iran while I am staying;but with some problem;
on regional/Locale there is no Iran in the country list, there is problem that I think it is related to it;
when I make a call using the keypad, the call will be ended so it won't make a call, but if i save the number into the phone book and call the number from there; then it works, to mention that I changed the locale to Sweden, because this way at least i can make a call from phone book, and when I get a call can not return the all using the number, because it will add the country code to the number, so I have to enter into phone book and remove the country code then be able to use it.
anyway I can make this work?
some kind of ROM update ?
I have searched many local shops here, but there are other models of htc around but not excalibur to get some help;
appreciate any help;

Welcome to forums
have a deep read here:

Reflashing to a newer ROM could help your problem (which I don´t understand quite well)
Good luck,

Hi,
I am also in Vancouver although my phone is a T-Mobile Dash that I got on eBay. You really have a different problem here. I assume that you are using an Iranian SIM card when in Iran and not your Rogers/Fido SIM.
Another guy I work with has a Rogers s621 and even though I unlocked and flashed his ROM for him (originally to the Kavanna 6.1 and now to the EVO 6.5 ROM) he had trouble on trips to China with his China Mobile SIM which itself needed to be unlocked to use it. He ended up buying a phone over there instead.
I assume you are still using the Rogers 6.0 ROM, which is better than the T-Mobile but far behind either of the two I listed above. I would flash to Ookba's 3VO ROM, it is really great and runs beautifully. But follow the direction to the letter, don't skip any steps. I have no idea if it will solve your particular problem, but even if it won't you'll be a lot happier with the phone using it here in BC.
Here is the link to the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718

Thanks for the replies guys;
I will do some reading and will upgrade to see if it will become better or not;
yes I still have the Rogers 6.0 ROM; and use an Iranian SIM card;
I wonder if I upgrade and then some problem occurs is it possible to downgrade to what I have, perhaps a way to backup the ROM I have.
Thanks

As long as you follow the instructions on my previous post al should be ok, but in case it fails you can always go back and install another ROM, but believe me if you install any new ROM (6.1 or 6.5) you´ll be so happy that you won´t want to go back

OK;
I did install the new ROM (EVO 6.5 ROM);
it is very nice, I like it but the name of my country Iran is missing in this version also,
by the way I believe this ROM is application unlocked, I wonder why I can not install any application on it;
I searched online and found couple of free apps fo wm 6.5 but it won't be installed. I have not got any error or something.
some of the apps will go half and some up to the end but I don't find it anywhere.
any idea why?
if anyone has installed an application on htc s621 using same ROM please provide a name and a link to download if possible.
appreciate your help.

I don't know if this will help, or whether you have already tried it. You would probably have to do this while in Iran with the Iranian SIM card in the phone. Try entering your settings menu, All Settings > Phone > More > Networks > Menu > Preferred Networks. Scroll down to see if your Iranian network is shown with all the other international choices.
I have no idea how this list is generated, I assume it is by Rogers/Fido here in Vancouver. But you may have a political problem on your hands rather than technical. Are the sanctions against Iran reaching to some organization of cellular providers and the Iranian carriers are being blocked by them from being on the list? I don't know the answer, you would know a lot more about what is restricted in Iran (from within or without) than I would.
In any case, good luck.

OK; Here is what append with my phone;
I upgraded to 3VOLUTION series to see if the dialing problem will be solved or not, everything was OK after installation no errors or something, but as for the calling, as my phone had problem calling out using keypad, now this time after upgrading to wm6.5 my phone could not dial from phone book either,
so practically useless phone, it could only receive calls.
I searched for a solution online , did not find any answer, looked around phone shops here in my city, until I found a guy that said he can make it work, he had a box so in less than 20 minutes did something and phone start working properly, I can make a call from keypad and phone book no problem,
and in the location status the country of Iran is not listed either I am not sure what he did using the box.
I did asked the guy if I upgrade or downgrade WM can the same thing happen again, he was not sure.
I am thinking of downgrading to 6.1 since there are not much application found for 6.5.
but I don't want to pay the guy again for the same thing.
does anyone know of this things?
what he actually did with the box that can not be done without it?
appreciate any help
