Subject: Software differences
From: *Bling* Sam *Bling*

Before I'd even seen this site i'd wanted an O2 XDA in the UK,
but due to me being on a different network (vodafone) I thought
I could never have one (Queue violins)... But then I went back
home to australia for a short trip and found them selling the
64mb version in a telstra shop. On a hunch I whacked my vodafone
SIM in the Demo model and it worked. I bought one and am now
very happy. Right that's the story out of the way, now the
query:
Are there any huge differences in the software for the device in
Aus and in the UK, cos I've configured everything and all works
fine but I'd just like to know if there's anything extra that
might be worth flashing for...

Depends on the version you're running. If yours is 3.14.x, keep
it, otherwise you might want to consider an upgrade.

Subject: GPS, SD card and Blue tooth
From: Fab

Last time I read that you were saying that GPS sd card will not
work with xda. What will be the others solutions? I read
somewhere that tomtom have a special cable for gps and xda but I
could not find it.
It would be also very great to be able to have bluetooth and a
blue-tooth phone set. The XDA would be then perfect!
Is it better to have one card of 512mo or 2 card 256mo?
I know for the price two card is better, but would it be other
advantages (exemple; faster if you separate the video and the
programme, as is it in harddisk...)?
If anyone have some ideas ....

Toshibas Bluetooth card, also sold by Palm, will never work with
the XDA because HTC does not implement a SD I/O slot. That is
not very surprising as the iPAQ do also not support SD I/O. A
Fujitsu-Siemens PM told me, that only one chip, made by Toshiba,
does have SD I/O, if that chip is not on board ... :x

There are XDA cables in the market. You can get them directly
from Tomtom www.tomtom.nl, ask them. Or by any cable for the GNS
GPS mouse, Tomtom includes GNS stuff in there packages. A shop
(in German) who offers that stuff: www.nav-tec.com. Cable would
be 45 Euro, not really cheap.

Subject: DigiTraveler doesn't work
From: Peter Lu

Hi, I am from US. Last week I bought a DigiTraveler GPS from
Radio Shack. It came with 3 cables for the PDA pack. One for
Palm, one for iPAQ and one fits my SX56. Unfortunately I could
not make it work. Finally I called Radia Shack tech support and
the engineer told me that device does not support my PDA. I
have to return it. :x
Do you know any better GPS that works?

The connector that you inserted is actually a new model iPaq
connector, which is the same connector as on the XDA. It's just
that the pins are wired differently, so they could make some
extra money on licensing for the peripherals.
If you are or know someone who can solder, you may want to take
a look at the connectors page. There's probably only two or
three wires connected in your connector, and when you put them
at the correct pins, you should be all set...

There are solutions to the GPS problem... several in fact.

Subject: Connector same as new IPAQ?
From: Jaapski
Date: 20 Dec, 2002 10:39:09
Hi,
What do you mean extactly.
Is the XDA connector same as the new IPAQ (1900) series? Or is
the connector still the same, but with a different pin setting?

Hi,
I spoke to an o2 Rep the other day in an o2 shop and he informed
me that bluetooth technology was built into the hardware of the
device - but not enabled (for some reason) - he said that there
will be a patch download available from action update soon to
enable the hardware to support bluetooth....
is this true??!?!?

I suspect this person was really anxious to sell more XDAs. We
have no indication of any bluetooth hardware in the XDA, and
we'd be _very_ surprised if it's in there.

From the Xda FAQ
1 . Does O2 have any intentions of having Compact Flash or PC
card support in the future?
Presently the XDA is unable to support the compact flash or PC
card. We have put this in our future enhancement list.
2 . Is there a scanner available for the XDA unit?
Currently XDA phone does not support the scanner by using
cable or bluetooth. We have put this on our enhancement list.
3 . Can the XDA be used as a modem for my laptop to surf the
net?
Currently not. This is one of the future enhancements of the
O2 XDA.
:wink:
Bluetooth is here
I am gutted...Have just been playing with the NEW Bluetooth enabled xda. Got mine less than 3 months ago - am now planning a fatal accident for it...
What?? Tell us more. I have heard no plans for this yet.
Bluetooth is hear
Was minding my own business at work when a collegue approached me and started taking the p*ss. Legged it round to CarphoneWarehouse & hey presto - they just came out the other day... and to make it worse they are the same price...
Great, so now it should only be six months until we get them in the US...
So you've seen this personally? Did you take a look at what profiles it supports (headset, serial, modem)?
Just been to CPW, and O2 shop, but they don't seem to have them. Can't find anything out about this phone.
Bletooth is Here
Apologies everyone - turned out to be a typo in the CPW brochure with a very well orchestrated prank... I never realised just how little these shop workers know about their products(if it's in the brochure must be right...WRONG) still at least it means the current xda is current and the search goes on for a solution...
I’ve just bought a XDA II
Now I want to sell my XDA.
It’s three months old, in mint condition. RUU 4.01.00Eng (the latest PocketPC 2003 rom from T-Mobile), RSU 4.12 Eng. Complete of everything: box, cradle, usb cable, cd with sw, user guide, n. 2 stylus, case.
Eur 550.00 + UPS/Fedex shipment (I’m from italy)
If you are interested please contact me here: [email protected]
Thanks
I wonder if this company exists in a real world, or if they think their customers are all fools.
Leaf Wireless has released the latest AKU 3.3.1 version here in South Africa on Monday.
Dopod(HTC) had already released this ROM earlier but obviously the Chinese version.
This is the reply I received from HTC Europe on 21 March 2007 to a query.
"Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.
The official HTC TyTN ROM update has not been released yet, so I am unsure as to the exact legitimacy of the current one you are using."
I am using the official one released by Leaf last Monday. They received this update from HTC Taiwan.
With this kind of treatment of their customers they can only hold themselves responsible for the growth of XDA-Developers.
Long live XDA
HTC should re-evaluate its customer support as well as its employees in Europe when you buy a high end device like this you expect support during the lifecycle of the product not lack of it even after the releases of many other products.
(back in september) When i rang HTC (UK) to enquire about the screen alignment problem being fixed under warranty I spoke in depth with the guy about the ROM i had on it (which was an early iMate ROM. He basically said that EVERYBODY he knows (in and out of his employment) messes about with the ROMs on thier devices. He said it wasnt very clear about whne a rom upgrade was going to be released but it was the decision of the guys over in HK not them. I loaded an early HTC rom back on and sent it back. It came back within 5 working days and was fixed un der warranty.
Numerous emails since (not from the same guy) have basically fobbod me off saying a rom release Q1 this year, the end of which is closing in fast :s
As you can tell it took me little under a month to start changing ROMs and i havent looked back since! dont hold your breath expecting an official HTC release for europe. Just read all the info etc...(wiki) and use a different rom, such as the newly released AKU3.3 south africa rom??

Shops in Belgium are stupid in general, The Phone House is the only one that has more information on the right now.
Shops that have them from next week import them from The Netherlands/Germany/France/UK. The Belgian customization with pre-installed Belgian apps will not be available before April 2.
Cheapest in Belgium with availability starting next week will be www.gsmwijzer.be.
just pre-ordered one from SONY store in Hong Kong. Sales said release date would be 7-8 March for the black model and mid-to-late Mar for the white one. For my purchase (of the white model), the collection date is "after 19 Mar".

Hello mates
I'm lookin forward to buy my first huawai device, but I'm not sure where I should buy the device. Let me explain this a litte bit more:
I could buy the Mate 20 Pro directly from Switzerland, for a very good price. But I also coud buy the device from Germany, also okayish price.
Now I'm not sure if it is a difference if I buy a non branded device from one of these countries, in the term of how I receive Updates.
In the past I used a Samsung Device bought in Switzerland, and my German Neigbours got their updates Months before it was availible in Switzerland.
Do you know if Huawai also uses different Region Updates, or is there someone, who owns the device from switzerland/germany who is at the newst version, were they released on the same date?
If you're in CH , buy in CH for the guarantee. As for the updates, they are really random on Huawei. I got my M20P friday (from CH), I put my SIM inside and got the -.122 (two patches) directly. Some people who got their phones in the UK, but live in the UK, depending of which SIM they put inside they did or didn't get the last update. For example people who had an EE or O2 SIM didn't get the update, they then swapped to a Vodafone SIM and got their update right away. There is THREAD discussing this.
