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.
Hey guys. Just got a PDF that says 28 February 2005 XDAIIs Upgrade INstructions. & release notes.
ROM version 1.31.139
Radio version 1.06
Think we get it on CD on the 28th!! Can't wait. hopefully fix a few bugs!!
Can I ask where you got the PDF?
Also, do you know how its going to be despatched?
Cheers
Blackberry
Does the XDAIIs upgrade include a Blackberry client?

Just thingking you might want to share that pdf file with us. Upload it, please......
ditto
Hi
Aye, ditto on the upload request please!! Not seen anything on O2's website, my xda or sourceo2. I sure hope they intend to make it available as a download on the same date rather than keep non corporate users waiting.

Hi
I assume that they mean the help+faq section and theres nought in there currently. Cant find anything on source o2 either. The XDAIIs launch rom has been in the wrong place on sourceo2 for over 2 months !!!! (they uploaded the wrong rom at first - XDAII launch rom - and hosed loads of peoples IIs machines)
Silly buggers
Nigel
According to Tekguru it is not out until March 1st but will be in production units from next week
Hmmm.. Wonder why the radio version is 1.06 but not 1.06.02
I Got my IIs last week and it come shipped with this rom already
didnt think to check it, been messin with it that much lol
here is the updated bluetoth patch for all to share, sorted out my probs with bt200 headset
Bit disappointing that the BT build is still 3500, they sent that to us bout a month ago & it fixed next to nothing.
We've even made them pay for a couple of car kits to be replaced when the "compatible bt products" list proved to be garbage.
The most annoying thing for me is still the mic level/quality with the phone, this is obviously software related as it works ok with voice recording, skype & even works better wen on speakerphone. Any sign of this improving?

tried to download the pdf file (Xda_IIs_131139_upgrade.pdf), but nothing happen. how can i download this file?
Evening ladies and gents!
Right, I'm this close to buying a 2s, but what is the liklihood of it ever geeting Blackberry connect?
I'm stunned by the short sightedness of o2 in this respect. It is the perfect device to use as a BB replacement, but the put the client on the xda II instead?
Smartner/xmail whatever just aren't viable alternatives I'm afraid, and I suspect that this will be the case for many people.
Cheers
Looks like O2 now have the thing on their upgrade web site. And two days early as well! Go grab it all from here.
No mention of Blackberry though. Only major update is for bluetooth.
True, but given the crappy quality of my HS850's connection I am hopping this will be the biz for my use, at least.
Strange Rom used in Singapore
My Singapore IIs has the below rom. Does anyone know why the ExtROM Version of my current rom is "newer" then the lastest update from O2? Is there is huge difference between Radio Ver. 1.02 and 1.06? Thank you so much if anyone is know enought to help.
ROM Ver:1.31.00WWE
ROM DATE:12/13/04
Radio Version:1.02.00
Protocol Version:1337.32
ExtROM Version:1.31.920WWE
Hmmm, I tried applying the update. Now the O2 Icon is over in the right of the screen and I cannot pull down the list of connections when I tap on it. Anyone know of a way to move it back to the old position?
First off, THANK YOU to all who contribute here. This site has been ALOT of help.
Question...
I upgraded to WWE 1.42 Rom to have the blackberry...
Problem is now Activesync will and will not sync calendar.
I've read a few posts on going into bb and checking and unchecking pim calendr sync. but even when it does sync, after taken out of the cradle it will delete all calendar entries on the BA.
I've not read any fixes for this, so I am asking the community for help.
Also since upgrading to 1.42, I've noticed a significant lag..
I have SPB 3.0, Phone Alarm, Screen Lock, and an upgraged calendar. all were on prior to upgrade and BB connect.
I'm on US tmobile if that helps, and am recieveing bb emails straight to my phone. Thanks in advance for any help!
I Have exactly the same problem I am on t mobile uk This problem has also only occured since i used the up grade.
I have found the problem i think but dont know how to solve.
I have down graded the phone to the old rom and in the instant email settings there is no Rim Settings. It looks to me as if the Rim setting and MS Sync are fighting for control of the Calander, Which causes the pairing with the pc to be deleted.
So i will stick with the old rom for now although its not as good ie cant get mail alert sound etc.
Anyone have any other ideas please post.
Also one otherthing i have noticed when the phone is in the cradle it cant collect email via blckberry.
Seems t-mobile are no help at all
Thanks for reading this
Merry festive season to you all
excell99a,
does the old rom that you are using have blackberry instant email? if so which one?
Yes it does have instant email
its MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe
There is a link in the downloads
You also have to add the Camera2K5_v1 to get the camera to work
This fault has been fixed in the new ROM released yesterday by O2. It has an updated version of the blackberry client.
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2s_soft.html
Sorry
This is for Xda II ?
Will it work for t-mobile MDA III ?
Its for Xda IIs which is HTC blueangel.
You may need to get the t-mobile version (if they have it). At least you know there is a fixed version from RIM so its possbile for t-mobile to release it.
I'll confirm this IS a working rom with WORKING BB Connect!! no more Calendar and Activesync issues!! EVEN after soft resets!! I downgraded from 1.42 to this 1.40, love it!!
I have been unable to load the O2 ROM on to t-mobile UK MDA III. Get country error code
Does anyone know if T-mobile are fixing this or is there an easy way to get the o2 Rom to load
Heya folks,
I wasn't too sure what to even look for in a search for this one.
I'm moving to the US, I have an Orange M2000. I've been offered a work-cellphone account, but I have to pay for the cellphone myself.
As I already have the M2000, I'd like to use it on Cingular for "Goodlink" services.
Apart from unlocking the network-lock to take the Cingular sim, is there anything else I need to do to prepare the phone? I'd rather not tamper with Rom's etc unless I have to.
thanks again

Hello, i was in the same situation last year with my XDA IIs. Moved from London. I have been using it on T-Mob US with no problems at all with regards to call reception, gprs, or sending and receiving sms. Only thing you may want to do is upgrade your radio rom to 1.15, seems to enhance reception a bit. Cheers.
Head over to the SX66 Standardization Project website & grab an extended ROM. Extended ROMs contain operator customization files -- grab them from the extended ROM & install them on your BA.

Hi there, I live in California and bought an Orancge SPV M2000 off Ebay from the UK, have unlocked it and it works well with my T-mobile simcard. But since it came loaded with the original Orange ROMS...I have had no luck trying to configure the MMS/GPRS settings on it. Tried every configuration found here on this site as well as other google sites, and even called Tmobile customer care rep for a walk-through. They didn't tell me anything new from what I've already found here, however, no joy sending an MMS at all
I have considered upgrading my extROM from Xelencins Tmobile for WIZARD ROM just to get the Customization settings. But I'd rather not do that since I am no pro at upgrading and don't wanna screw up my device if I can help it.
Can you tell me how you configured your MMS?GPRS settings to seamlessly work ? Mine just says "sending" forever and then times out and never sends it in the end
Please, any tips will do, thanks in advance...

The problem is one of the most annoying ones you can have: it appears only from time to time and you don't know when and even when it does you don't notice.
Simply my phone is not accessible for others even it shows full range and so on. The message "...the phone is switched off...". This problem occurs in as far as I remember 3 releases of ROMS (full, vanillas, etc). The radio ROM was also changed. I don't remember having such issue in early WM6 or in original 2005.
Since it's not related directly to any of the releases I post it as a new thread.
Now I have 3 options:
1. Downgrade to 2005
2. Throw the unit through the window, wait until end of contract and buy an iPhone
3. Try to fight with T-Mobile UK - which is not really an option since I just recovered from fighting with Orange for over a month
Does any of you experienced such problem?
Any known issues with downgrading to 2005 like ISPL required before flashing original ROM?
Any suggestions?

Well, I got the answer - couldn't wait and did the downgrade using original ROM. If anyone interested it went without problems. No ISPL needed. Connected, fired-up the exe file and worked OK.
I'll see how about the availability problem.
Ok, seems that it's only me having the conversation ;o)
I apologize for the thread location - it doesn't seem to be related strictly to WM6 anymore as I...
...installed WM5 and did some tests:
(I have voice mail switched off)
- Call waiting enabled = no calls allowed when GPRS active
- Call waiting disabled = no calls when transferring data (large file) but received when no transfer
- Used W660i SonyEricsson handset - could receive calls regardless of GPRS activity
Rang T-Mobile tech support where they told me that this is network feature that when internet connection is active no calls are allowed and since my voicemail is turned off all callers get message that my phone is switched off. In the light of GPRS specification and my tests this is a bull****.
Now I'm asking anyone on UK T-Mobile Web'n'Walk and who wants to help - please do such test. Just try to call your number from different phone when opening a web-page.
This is pretty important to me - I need internet on the move and don't want to get rid of my MDA.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I'm on T-Mobile UK too and I ran some tests myself and found that you are absolutely correct. When you transfer data you cannot receive phone calls.
I've got an O2 device with me I can do some more tests on and I'll also try and borrow my Wife's Samsung and test that too. I'll post my findings here.
Cheers
Alex
ok, i've just tested this on an O2 3G device and there was no problem, next to try a none windows mobile t-mobile phone.
seems this problem has been around for while and on other networks.
http://www.freenfo.net/mobile/archive/index-t-64022.html
ok, final test and conclusion.
I tested the same o2 phone as above but in a NON 3g area (i.e. gprs only) and found the exact same issue.
conclusion: this seems to affect all types of phone and multiple networks but only when using gprs NOT 3g.
I'm suprised we havent heard more about this problem.
cheers
Alex
Thank you Alex very much for your help.
I did some research on the topic last night and found the same info as guys in the thread your linked. It must be that T-Mobile UK operates in NOM-2, which allows to suspend GPRS session only when no data is transferred. When packets are transmitted the device doesn't 'see' incoming calls as it's 'busy' with dealing with the packets. NOM-1 is 'able' to encapsulate information about incoming call into one of the packets and the device is notified about - so it can react, suspend the transmission and pick up the call.
The fact is that our MDA/Artemis uses Class B of GPRS which doesn't allow simultaneous CDA/GPRS at the same time. Even if it can suspend active data transfer it is the network that has to support that feature.
What I must notice is that I had lot more problems wiht this when I was using WM6. It seems that there were some packets transmitted by the system or something. I had my mail set to check servers every 15 mins at the beginning but lately ony once an hour or two. Other soft that could transmit anything was Weather module from SPB or Touch. Now when I'm on WM5 and was checking the issue during loading a page I was unavailable but as soon as a page was completely loaded my phone was accessible back.
My surprise is that if the 'issue' seems to be quite normal and there is nothing to do about it why I couldn't find any info about it here. Doesn't it affect anyone of our community?
I may be wrong with the WM6 expirience but still. If WM6 works fine in that respect it must have happened that someone missed a call when browsing the net.
i hadnt noticed to be honest

Did you try ringing your phone when it was loading a long page or downloading a file?
TBH I think I've noticed it just as much on WM6 as I did (or didn't) on WM5, I think I put these odd voice mails turning up down to weird WM issues! Now I know the truth though.
Obv. there isn't a lot we can do about this and I'm not prepared to turn off my Windows Live Mail or my direct push. I think we just have to wait until our contracts are up for renewal and get over to a 3G device - I'm liking the look of the Touch Cruise myself, or the Touch Dual if I want that keyboard back and by the time my contract is up I think they should be on T-Mob UK.
does the same thing happen in Edge areas or as that rolls out will the problem disappear?
I'm not sure about how EDGE works but the problem affects GPRS rather than 3G due to the fact that GPRS and the incoming call are submitted alongside each other and 3G is seperate. I don't think t-mob uk have edge running yet so I can't test, perhpas some else can test for us.
Bro.. My first 3rd party ROM is the Touch 3.0.. and yes.. my connnection did go off once a while (no bars as well).. that was kinda irritating. I have to go to connection manager and toggle my data connection or something like that, before my phone will get the GSM signal.
And yea.. the original WM5 and WM6 have no such issues.. I wonder if this is because of the new radio version..
