some serious questions about Arthemis :-) - P3300, MDA Compact III General

i have an artemis p3300 (or xda III in other countries) for over 1 month now.
some things i like and i dislike.
pro : -scrollbal and ring are incredible
-backlight and screen is great
-wifi, gprs, mobile part en gps works perfect
-slim case
-sound is incredible loud.
cons: -omap processor is a bit slow (even overclocked at 252) for multimedia
like streaming video or gaming
- to little ram memory..there is not much left after installing the default
applications so forget skinning
so overal for a business user, it,s the perfect phone. For a home user who wants to modifie
everything or loves the multimedia it;s to slow and to little ram to give comfort.
To give you an idea..my previous phone is a axim x5 advanced and it's still faster then this phone.
questions?
- can windows messenger get the ppc out of his sleep like the mobile part of the phone can?
- Why is wifi falling out when i put the phone in sleep?
- when wifi fails (to far from wifirouter) it goes automaticly to gprs. I don;t want that and i just want wifi to keep trying a connection. Now i switch the mobile part off when i surf the net.Any solutions?
- My old dell also has a wificard in it..can i communicate between the two devices over wifi..and what are the possibilities that i could do (exemple: using it as intercom or viewing the camera live stream from the artemis?)
please give me your ideas or solutions.
thanks in advance

It is'nt a new rom, T-mobile UK 1.30.114, date:18.04.2006.
this rom not support arabic at all
I installed this ROM few weeks ago and so far the best one. I had before QTEK one and EXEC, but this one is the best.
I have installed the new T-Mobile rom this evening with no problems... having re-synced with mail2web, I was able to immediately use push email and a2dp and wireless headset profiles (via a motorola h820 headset).
a2dp was satisfactory - audio quality wasn't perfect but acceptable, although there was occasional break-up (albeit I was walking around at the time) - I'll need to test this a bit more thoroughly to see if it's a realistic alternative to a wired mp3 player.
There are a few cosmetic changes to the t-mobile ui and a couple of additional apps also - sapsettings for remote sim management via bt (had not seen this before) and commmanager for managing phone, wifi, bluetooth, activesync, and pushemail via microsoft directpush.
The battery icon has also been moved to the startbar!
Perfomance seems to be improved also compared with the previous t-mobile firmware.
i tried to upgrade my jasjar but i could not so could you please explaint to me the ways to upgrsde my jasjar
thanks

Does the "mail2web.com Free Exchange" http://services.mail2web.com/FreeServices/m2wLive/ product work with Microsoft's push functionality?

As far as I can tell it does - I'm using the free mail2web exchange service and push email appears to be working fine using the default (ms push) settings...
As a further update to my experiences with the rom, I am very happy with the slight (but noticeable) performance boost, and the upgraded firmware has improve the phone / bt headset's ability to connect on-the-fly - ie: now I can just turn on the bt headset and the phone will automatically connect, whereas previously I had some problems reconnecting the two...
The only downside is I have experienced the occasional random freeze, requiring a soft reset - I have not installed additional apps under the new firmware yet either. (but i did let it install all the t-mobile extended rom stuff)
I've upgraded and thought I'd share my experiences as I reconfigure the device:
I went from R: 1.06.00 / G:42.40.P8 / D:1.20.32.WWE
to: R: 1.10.03 / G:42.44.P8 / D:1.30.114.WWE
1) for those that plan to upgrade in the hope of getting a better signal - DON'T. So far the signal is just as bad as it used to be, in the same conditions it's sometime even worse.
2) the only file I had to fish out the extended rom so far is PP_TMUK_conn_uni_130149.CAB. - the internet connection settings
3) sync was not happening until I reset the settings on both the desktop AND the device - something that would catch 'newbie' user by surprise.
4) There are few changes to the GUI, but it's mostly cosmetics. The icons are slightly different, the connection manager got a nice revamp.
5) There are very few application changes, at least not that I could notice, apart from a wireless connection manager on the today screen.
6) The extended rom folder contains all sorts of new and updated files, none of which I ran, but it would be nice to document those somehow.
7) Ram stats are as follow upon first reboot: storage: 43.50 total, 5.44 used, 38.06 free / programs 49.70 total, 18.55 used, 31.15 free
Overall I'm not sure if I'd recommend that upgrade - it doesn't seem to bring anything to the table.
UPDATE 27-07
8) There is indeed, as other have reported, a performance improvement in this release. It isn't 400% faster, but it definitely feel 'snappier'.
9) Call 'quality' has improved, meaning that with a good signal you'll hear 'better' sound than on the previour ROM, however signal quality as mentionned above stays very poor.
More to come as I test it some more...
At the beginning starting of programm switches off device, when says "device no connected" :roll: Current ROM installed Qtek 1.30.77WWE. PU10 At last device was killed and reupgraded by previous Qtek upgrading via bootloader screen only. Was very funny!

Recommendation for converged device

Hi,
I'd appreciate your recommendation of a converged device (ie PDA & phone) that does everything AND does not have a camera.
Today I have an Axim X51V, that has a very large VGA screen, WIFI, BT, but is not a phone and does not have GPS.
I'm aware of the HP HW6910 and the FS LOOX T810. Both are quite large, due to the fixed frontal keyboard. Further, they have a very small, low-res screen.
I'd prefer a smaller device (possibly by having a sliding keyboard) while not sacrificing the screen size and resolution..
I also don't mind if the device doesn't have an integrated GPS, as I own a BT GPS.
My usage is as follows:
1. Sync with Outlook at the office.
2. Browse the Web via WIFI (B/G) or BT.
3. Navigation, using various navigation apps.
4. Pick up mails while travelling.
5. View/edit documents, PDFs, Excels, etc (but this is a light usage).
6. RSS feeds, weather, etc, all sorts of utilities.
7. Watch family pictures every now and them.
8. No music, basically no movies or games.
Additional considerations (in addition to the above usage):
1. I'd prefer a Quad-Band/Tri-Band device, with preference to GSM networks (as I live in Europe).
2. Support for GPRS, EDGE at the least.
3. Fast CPU, for the Nav apps.
4. Lots of memory.
5. WIFI (B/G) and BT (2.0 preferred).
6. Standard Mini USB port preferred.
7. Powerful battery.
How does the forthcoming WM OS affect my decision?
I'd appreciate your recommendations.
Thank you,
Daniel
Well the Hermes is a great device but it has a camera.
How about the Cingular 8500? i.e. The non-camera version of the Cingular 8525. I just recently(2 days ago) received my Cingular 8525, and I am EXTREMELY pleased with it.
What is the generic name of the Cingular 8525?
The non-camera thing is imperative, as my workplace won't allow cameras.

Well, I'm not 100% sure what you mean by a generic name, but essentially it's a Hermes 100 device(minus the camera, of course). I'm also not sure if Cingular is shipping these units yet, or if they even have any in stock. My uneducated guess would be that they release them at the same time as the 8525, but of course, I could be wrong about that. BTW, my 8525 is just fantastic! Learning more and more about it every day!

O2 XDA Orbit- Download queries.... (call monitoring, profiles, gprs)

Great machine- the iphone before its time. Moved from a mini s and love it.
Anyway few phone related issues:-
Profiles- anyone know a nice handy way or free download to have on screen profiles available for the choosing? ie. silent, loud, outside, etc...
GPRS monitoring- anything out there a bit more straightforward than SPB Gprs monitor that comes with this?
Last but not least has anyone any idea of some good call monitoring/ minute tracking software? Only one i can see is phone dashboard but its not massively versatile.
Ideally i want something that can track my orbit with its o2 free weekend calls contract.ie not including my sat, sun and mon calls in its summarys.
Last one- anyway of getting the radio to play through the speakers without the headphone (antenna) plugged in?
Apart from that the orbit is a cracker phone. Im not having problems with long delays that some others are complaining about, and i regularly use microssoft word.
Recommended downloads:-
SPB Pocket plus ($15)
Superdoku (free) sudoku obviously
Pocket picture 2.2.0.0 (free) wee art prog
SPB Media Play Today plug in (free)
Quincey
there is a profile display built in with the today screen. To get it displayed:
start
settings
personal
today
items
then 'tick' profiles
Hope that helps
I have also moved from a mini s and find the orbit much more of a mobile phone rather than a small brick. Just waiting to get a new memory card to get my sat nav running
Not in my today menu!
Take a look at PocketZenPhone.

Reliable VoIP on Hermes? Experiences?

Hi,
I would like to use my Hermes as a VoIP device via WiFi. To be more precise, I want to use it seriously, not just to play around. The battery time is neglectible, server-side voip configuration and codes can be adjusted.
So far I have seen Schaps WM6.0 Rom, the Voipwm6.cab's, the voip Drivers .cab and destr0`s cab (I have also tested some overfilled Rom Images with Voip support).
My experience so far has been rather disappointing, laggy connections, no reconnecting after Wlan disconnect, lack of speech codecs. This seems surprising to me, as there are other WM6 based devices, with similiar memory and processor power, being marketed as business-VoIP devices (eg. some iPAQs). So, as far as I understand, it should be possible to enable full VoIP functionality, quality and reliability by chosing the right software.
My question:
Is somebody here using VoIP on a Hermes daily? What setup are you using, which drivers did you install? Are there WM6.1 Voip drivers availible? I do not like this mixing up of different library versions, which seems to be popular with the rom kitchens.
SKYPE MOBILE FIND IT ON THE SKYPE SITE THATS what I always use I have millions of enteries and errands to run and I have to meet political connections in other countries and I know this sounds boring but here I am and I have to use VOIP NO JOKE
since you asked.....
I fooled around with the same issue for several months. While Fring and the newest version of skype for ppc both gave good sound quality, I have given up on the issue because of an unacceptable voice delay (~0.5 ). I once thought the issue was related to my internet provider - my current opinion is that this is due windows mobile issues and inadequate processing power. Calling in to a local voip dial-in access telephone # via my hermes did NOT produce the same voice delay, nor did internet skype calling via a wifi connection from my computer. I also got the voice delay when I tried calling via a 3g/umts cellular connection and when using some Viop software found on this site. Finally, using every phone 'tweak' I could find on the internet also did not improve the voice delay, nor did different 'fast' custom ROMs improve the issue. If you/or anyone else ever solves the problem of voice delay on the hermes, I would love to know how.
I've been testing NCH Express Talk: http://www.nch.com.au/talk/index.html + this little utility that forces sound output to the earpiece: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396829
I haven't done much field testing, but the quality is much better than inbuilt VoIP, works ok over 3G and unlike Fring, the communication between you and your VoIP provider is direct.
Thanks for your replies and sharing your experiences. At least now I do not feel like a complete idiot. The strange thing is that when I tried Voip on Hermes the first times (just with VoIP.cab etc). and connecting directly to a normal provider sound quality was really good and the lag was low. Some hours later it has been bad.
As far as I am concerned, I have also tested agephone (gives you a lot of configuration options) and i will test voipsurfer (uses iax) a bit more as soon as i find some time.
I will not give up now. Among other things I want to look at the network settings of the Hermes (packet size etc.) and test with a lot of free memory.
I am going to keep this thread updated, as soon as I find out more.
Tremere, thanks for the nch hint. The program gave me a warning about my network setup, which may lead to one-way or lagged audio. Hmm...
Voip
Download fring from yr htc install it and insert yr voip account.
It works like charm.

I got around the warning by setting up port forwarding on my router. The audio is fine, both directions work, but the lag is still not acceptable.
I bought a Hermes (8525) about 2 weeks ago and have been trying out different voip methods. Here's my bit:
Skype
+Keeps phone from sleeping so you can always be logged in
+Best sound quality from the ways I've tried
+Very cheap rates for US calls and DID
-Very unstable on my device. I constantly have to soft reset when skype runs
-Skype contacts separate from Hermes contacts
-Speakerphone used by default, which causes bad echoing. Torca2 works to route sound to earpiece, but awkward to start/stop. I haven't managed to get audioswitch to work, which would sort things out.
-Must use +1 on calls, and the + is obnoxious to get to
Fring (with skype)
+More stable, and I can use gmail chat!
+Smoother interface (for me) than skype
-Short to medium delay, enough to be a deal-breaker
-Doesn't stop device from sleeping, so calls in don't work
-Fring contacts separate from Hermes contacts
SIP with Home Asterisk/Sisky-Skype Server
+More control over detailed options
+When at home, great call quality with little delay
+WM6 has built in voip support
+Phone automatically logs into wifi networks and connects back to my home server very well, displays status on today screen
+Hermes contacts dial using voip when available
+Easy to build on and add more phones (mobile and landlines) to the system
-Good quality but bad delay (so far) when connecting remotely through the internet
-Tricky to get set up from scratch
-Requires at least one dedicated server, preferably two
-Sisky enterprise software is proprietary ($60, free 30-day trial)
-Voip stops when the device is in standby. There are supposed to be ways around this but at the cost of battery life. Still testing...
I'm going to try the voip with voipbuster or another provider... but that's next weekend. I'm hoping my home asterisk server pans out, but there's a lot of configurations to learn and perfect.
Here's the link for torca2 again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396829
And audioswitch, which would be a gem if it worked on the hermes

CARPC + HTC how to?

Hi @ all
I'm using a HTC TYTN II and want to connect it to my CARPC (full working normal PC) to make phonecalls read and write SMS.
There are a few progs that work with "normal" mobile phones but not with PPCs.
It should be connectable to USB, so I can charge the accu whyle driving.
I tested a remote controller to control the PPC via touching the CARPCs 7" touchscreen, this works okay. But I need a prog that will give the sound form the PPC to the CARPC and the microphone input from the CARPC to the PPC.
My fav. would be a programm that can fully control the PPCs phone functions and but not required the sms functions.
I think you know what my problem is, and sorry for my bad english I'm from germany.
Man, I just started working on the same project! Although I only want to connect the PC to my in-dash display for simpler things like Slingbox, web browsing and talkstreamlive radio.
I found this in my searching...

Hope this helps and keep in touch as you progress and I will too!
Thanks
