Hi Everyone,
Just found a radio update for T-Mobile Compact 3 on the website of T-Mobile Netherlands.
It's newer than the B&B 4.
https://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/htdocs/page/service/hardware_updates/mda_compact_III_radio.aspx
Maybe Tom can use it.
I believe the one in B&B4 is 02.95.90 so the one you are talking about 02.92.90 is older and not newer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320802
normally, you don't need to update radio, if you have no problems. however, sometimes it concerns serious bugs working with some mobile operators (gprs could be one of example)
if you have no problems with current radio, you can keep it like it is.
regards,

Your right. Very stupid.
Is was almost 17:00. Time to leave work.
Tom's rom has 2.95.90 so is newer sorry for mine post
If this radioversion cures the problems (lost connection/not reachable etc.) many Dutch users have on the t-mobile network it is worth trying this radioversion.

I'm using Tom's B&B v4.0 and have no problems at all. I have Touch Flo on the right softwarebutton so I can TomTom or iGo with the hardwarebutton.

My preference with ZERO problems in the US using ATT is 1.46.30.11
I use GPS Most Every Day on TomTom 6.03
I travel between Edge, GPRS, 3G, and HSDPA networks on a weekly basis and it connects to all without any glitches.
Also, when I get into my driveway, my phone automatically connects to my wireless network.
I was using the OEM AUS Rom. Liked it very much, but just swapped over to PDAVIET WM6.1. Bluetooth is TONS better, and other improvements...
where can i find the radio versions? i have 1.46.00.11

My cell company is T-mobile USA and my radio rom 1.38.00.1and it works really well.
As far as I know 1.38.xx.x is the best in this area of the States the 1.46.xx.x versions usually send my incoming phone calls to the voicemail and the 1.50....is a battery drainer for me.

please tell me, 1.50 is good? gps is working good? wifi? thank you
Well I just gave it a try,gps and wifi were fine but the battery drain was pretty high that´s why I switched to 1.38... because I get the same quality and better battery life.
But this is just my personal opinion.
what about 1.46.30.11?
I just told you dude,read my other post I tell you what happened with the 1.146.xx.x versions.
and what about -RADIO 1.50.08.11-? has bugs?

OK, I am new here and have done a lot of reading. Apparently me and about 3 other guys are the only ones that have USCC, not a lot out there for us. NFSFAN, you have mentioned that you might be able to whip us up something if there were more, that would be great. I do have a number of specific questions and I'd love all the great input that everyone has.
1. 6.5 or Android? (yes I know it is all personal taste)
2. My touch does not have GPS enabled from USCC. If I unlock the phone do I use .41 or 2.31? Yes I want GPS and would find a ROM with it and is that why I would choose one or the other?
3. My Radio is 3.42.30, do I need to upgrade to 3.42.50 for GPS or just to upgrade to 6.5? and where do I find that radio?
4. Am I asking to basic of questions yet?
5. How do I get Adobe Flash Player loaded/upgraded?
6. Is there a good .cab website out there for games/apps?
7. Can I have my cake and eat it too?
Nah j/k but I know my phone is capable of so much more than I am using it for now and want to take advantage of it. I really appreciate all the help and suggestions.
Thanks

Have you look over at PPC Geek's at all? There is a lot more CDMa info there.
Ok, I kinda thought this was the forum for CDMA, aka my USCC VOGUE phone. I have looked on ppc and am going to repost this question there. I saw the wealth of knowledge here and thought I could get some help....

This particular forum is for the CDMA Vogue but this site is geared more toward GSM devices. There doesn't seem to be a big US Cellular following on here.

Yes it is a personal choice, nice thing about Android is that it is a Linux shell - rebooting the phone brings you back to WinMO so really it can be best of both worlds just be prepared for some work in using Android and remembering steps before starting it like, Starting IE/Opera before starting Android to make sure you have Internet within Android (at least when I was using it a few months back)

You would use 2.31 unlocker and from there flash to a custom ROM - try a Generic ROM either 6.1 or WinMO6.5 might be able to utilize GPS if your connecting via generic or seek out some other USCC users in threads, I know some are using 6.5 currently and able to work fairly well

No, 3.42.30 is fine, you wont see a difference with 3.42.50 worth it plus it can cause some issues more than positives so stay to the basics

Depends on the ROM used as well as the Browser (IE or Opera) there is some reports of IE Mobile 8 or something like that working but flaky

Of course you can, but the actual saying is "can I eat my cake and have it too" in reference to the days of Marie Antoinette and the famous line of "let them eat cake" the idea is to be able to eat your cake AND have it, which of course would be impossible as would the situation a person in reference to the saying would be wanting as well
Hope that helps

Thanks Doug I had almost given up hope on this thread. I have been on PPC Geeks and am just about to take the plunge. Thanks for all the advice and I see the logic in the actual "eat / have it" order, very interesting and educational. Thanks again and I will try to update after I upgrade.
spittinfly, in your reading have you found the settings you need with QPST to make your GPS work with USCellular? Also, the instructions that get you into the diagnostic mode with other carriers do not work with USCellular. I had to do a lot of reading myself, and piece together information from several different threads to make it work. With the same radio you have I can lock in from 6 to 11 satellites. If you have found all this information I won't bother typing it all in, but if you need it let me know.
Personally, I've tried a couple of different ROMs, but I'm currently just running the USCellular WM6.1 with SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.5, while I'm anxiously awaiting Shell 3.
Well I am not familiar w/ SPB but I did go on ppcgeeks and searching for "uscc 6900" found what appears to be a good option for me. Would someone mind checking it out?

SPB is a set of applications for use ON your phone (SPB Backup, SPB Keyboard, ETC) SPB is the company name followed by what the app is
As far as the thread, Im hoping and assuming you are referring to NFSFAN 6.5 V6R2 Generic Carrier ROM ... I only ask as I am not going to read through 8 pages of replies to find what your referring to
If it is regarding NFSFAN and the ROM he has to offer, then yes I would suggest trying it, its the ROM I use on my HTC Vogue (Touch) and its been stable, fast and reliable
Detroit Doug
Is there a way to "turn on" the GPS (unlocker first, I understand this) WITHOUT changing the ROM?
I very much enjoy my current setup with ONE exception: no GPS.
I've read a little about QPST and have tried a version of it (its been quite a while) but it doesn't seem to recognize my 6900...
so... basically... 2 questions: 1. can I turn on GPS using only a settings change in QPST, and if so, 2. what version of QPST do I need to do so?
FYI, USCC 6900 6.1 Radio 3.42.30 ROM 3.01.573.4
Thanks in advance
I have seen some wonderful cooked ROMs for TP2 devices in these forums and elsewhere, many of which with excellent appearance, performance and functionalities. Some cooks are even thoughtful enough to make both GSM and CDMA versions. However, my use of such has stumbled on the following very significant obstacle: the physical keyboard (aka "the main reason why people purchase this device in the first place").
I have identified at least three types of keyboard on TP2 devices depending on whether they are directly supplied by HTC or if they come from carriers such as Verizon or Sprint. Not only do the carrier devices not have a Ctrl key like the original one does, but they also differ regarding other key mappings. There are also differences between the keyboards in Verizon and Sprint phones as to the location of the comma, underline, other punctuation marks, special characters, and functions.
As I own a Sprint Version device, most ROMs I install tend to jumble up the functioning of the keyboards so that I end up pressing one key and getting a different symbol in response. Therefore, I am now using the WM 6.5 update issued by Verizon March 19th 2010, having upgraded Windows Mobile Office and Windows Live through the Microsoft Marketplace service.
I wish I could upgrade do WM 6.5.3 and also take advantage of some goodies provided in cooked ROMS, such as crapware removal, upgraded versions of pre-installed apps, improved interface, etc., but I don't want to scramble my keyboard. I also do not want to have to install keymapping software, for I am Brazilian and already use AEKmap to generate the special characters in the Portuguese language (á, à, ã, é, ê, ç, etc.), so i dont want do complicate matters in that department.
Anyone know where I can find good Sprint-keyboard-friendly customized ROMs? Or, perhaps, some other way of dealing with this issue?
Thx in advance.
Energy ROM has a function in Start>Tools called "Carrier Provisioning" which will automatically remap the keyboard for your TP2 version. Other cooks may have similar solutions.
But I'm not sure how you will get the Brazilian characters you're looking for. There is a Rhodium Keyboard Controller CAB (below) that works really well to remap keys, but I don't know if/how you can get the Brazilian characters.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
You're in the wrong forum to ask about Verizon/Sprint phones, since they're CDMA and this forum is about GSM ROMs. Check out either the Rhodium CDMA sub-forum, or (probably better) ppcgeeks.com which tends to have much better coverage for CDMA devices.

Thx for your response.
If there is such a function, I believe it would most definitely help me out. The Energy ROMs are precisely what I had in mind. Is this a new addition? I was reading the Energy forums and October last year there were still issues with Sprint phones.
Regarding the special characters I need, AEKmap works just fine. I just didn't wanto to have to include extra settings (create a third keyboard layout) to correct any jumbling from the ROM.

Given that I was not referring to a GSM x CDMA issue (I originally mentioned that this has already been addressed by developers), I though that the ROM forum would be the best choice.

I might have got it wrong. But I thought you have a Sprint phone (i.e. a CDMA TP2) and you want to get the keyboard working properly on it ? If so, then that's a CDMA ROM issue.
Not trying to be unhelpful here, quite the opposite - I'm suggesting you'd get much better help if you went to ppcgeeks.com and asked on this, because there would be a lot more people with CDMA TP2s there.
Hi all, is there a way to enable the 850Mhz UMTS in the XPKG6 firmware as i am an Australian using Telstra's network. Due to the fact that we get left in the dark fairly frequently in regards to all updates from Telstra (current for us is 1.0) and Samsung, i am currently using the Brazilian BVJJK1 firmware as it is the latest firmware (1.02) that supports the frequencies i need. I'm not the only one having this issue as bruno2k7 also has this problem (link to his thread below). If anyone could shed some light on if or how this can be achieved i'm sure that there would be a lot of extremely grateful people out there.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193692
Please have you installed other firmwares and try to set the network manually? Maybe setting the network manually (instead of the default Automatic) may solve this problem.
Go to Settings => Connectivity => Network => Network mode => (and select the appropriate network in GSM or UMTS mode).
NB: I am refering you to bada 1.2 and not the beta bada 2.0. If all goes well in bada 1.2, hopefully you will enjoy same when bada 2.0 is officially releashed.
Thanks for you time on this spacks. So far i have tried The latest Brazilian firmware (BVJJK1), XXJL2, DDKD1, LUHJH1, XPKG5 and XPKG6. I have tried every setting i can think of in regards to swapping around the amss.bin files, different combos of the Bootfiles as well as the amss.bin, CSC, FFS, etc. The only thing that i have found that works so far i.e. actually boots and gives me full 850 UMTS is the complete BVJJK1 although i will try the LUHJH1 later tonight after work (unless somebody can reply between now and then that it doesn't support 850mhz). Your help on this one is immensely appreciated guys as if i can get it to work then i can update all my friends Wave's as well as we are all on Telstra (850mhz).
Regards Jingles.
Stupid idea...
Did you ever tried mix AMSS (amss.bin) from your country/operator with others Firmware?
AMSS is callprocessor part...
No idea if also apps_compressed is mandatory...
Best Regards

yeah tried that one too lol but thanks All i need is to somehow be able to use the current amss.bin file that i'm using from the Brazilian BVJJK1 firmware in one of the latest 2.0.1 firmwares. When i try it the phone just boot loops. Have been trolling through every page i can find on the topic but have had no luck finding anybody who has gotten this to work yet, although last night i did find a comment on whirlpool that said that my carrier (Telstra) might be looking at updating the waves in Australia to Bada 2.0, fingers crossed i guess.....
Hey all sorry for not getting around to posting a fix for this issue sooner. A few weeks ago i solved the issue i was having by taking a sledge hammer to my fone and smashing the absolute **** out of it.
I then went and bought an Android based handset. Problem solved.
Now before any of you want to go saying "Why not do that in the first place" the reason is this. I bought my handset in one of the first batch released in Australia with the promise from Samsung that Bada was going to be the next big thing or at least be a formidable opponent to iOS and Android. Instead what we were given was a POS that should have been called Beta not Bada. The Original wave offered an amazing hardware set only to be let down by a **** OS that we can't even port Android to. I haven't bothered looking in the topic on how the port for the wave is coming because i can guarantee that it's no better from the last time i looked (no offence to the guys working on this as i imagine you guys are going hell for leather trying to get this sorted. Many kudos guys.)
So good luck guys, i'll be laughing at the rest of you still trying to use your clunky BADA phones while i continue to tweak and update my latest update of Gingerbread.
Actually you were just unlucky
I think all the people who bought the 850mhz capable waves were unlucky...
Too bad you werent able to try even just bada 1.2 and i agree samsung shouldve done something about it.
