Dear Customer,
During the development of KSE Truefax for the MDA/XDA some problems emerged with the different versions of firmware on the devices as well as with the different worldwide GSM networks of various providers (T-Mobile, Voicestream, O2, Vodafone, etc.).
While we achieved good results in most cases within the D2 Vodafone network (depending on the ROM version of the device), the success rate has been too small within the T-Mobile and O2 network, for us to publish the version right now.
During the communication setup within both GSM networks we received errors, because the modems (internal modem of the MDA/ XDA and modem of the receiving fax device) searched to connect to each other unsuccessfully, because they were unable to find a "nominal value". Only very few times the communication was faultlessly established.
At the moment we only have one MDA and XDA device and therefore we are only able to test our software with one specific ROM version in each case. Some of our potential customers tested KSE Truefax with other ROM versions. We have found out Truefax react very differently when used on devices with different ROM versions. This even went so far that Truefax caused a SIM-Lock barrier with some devices and this error could only be resolved if a software uninstallation was carried out.
Moreover we had to find out that some SIM cards or even whole GSM networks (like O2- Netherlands) deactivated the fax services, so that not even the fax dispatch was possible. In order for us to have been able to obtain this information, we had to make several calls to the network carrier support services.
At this time we are in touch with T-Mobile (Germany) and O2 and hope to solve these problem with their aid and support. However, we cannot make a statement about when these problems can be solved since this is strongly dependent on the cooperation and support of the network providers.
Please note: The a.m. problems occurs with the combination TD1/O2 German GSM net and the MDA/XDA.
The version for the Asian market offered by O2 is at this time exclusively for the Asian O2 GSM net only. A worldwide publication of our KSE Truefax Phone Edition, which does not run perfectly on your device, would annoy you as a customer even more as if we did not offer the version at the moment. Due to the fact that we are missing important information and support from the network providers, we are unable to give you any support.
Therefore our management - after thorough discussions - decided yesterday not to publish our KSE Truefax Phone Edition for an indefinite time (until all problems are solved). Since you are a registered potential customer for the Truefax Phone Edition, you will be notified as soon as we have new information in this regard. We would like to ask you to refrain from sending us emails on this regard, which we are unable to answer.
We must admit that we had thought to be able to solve these problems with only minor support from the providers. This was a coarse misjudgement. We are dependent on the support by the network providers and only through a reliable cooperation it will be possible to support the Pocket PC Phone devices.
If you are planning to download a trial version of the Asian O2 XDA Truefax to test with your XDA (outside of Asia) we are unable to give you any support. Support inquiries need to be sent directly to O2 Asia. Should you have already purchased the KSE Truefax 2.0 Pocket PC version under the assumption that it will run with your Pocket PC Phone, then please contact the respective customer support and require a refund or credit for this purchase.
However, we also need YOUR SUPPORT as a potential customer. In order for the various worldwide network providers to notice KSE Truefax and in order to inform them that using fax software on your device is essential to you, we ask you to send an email to your network provider in order for them to contact us. Only if you as a customer express that it is important for you to use a fax software on your device and that the provider combines this use of a fax software with generating "airtime"
- a profit for the provider - we will be supported efficiently.

Hi all,
as a new XDA user have been reading through the forum with interest, found out a lot about my unit that I did not know and am sure there is a lot more to find,
My XDA is a Model PW10B1
Rom : 4.00.01ENG
Radio 4.20.00
Protocol 32S54
At the moment I am using a T-Mobile (UK) Sim in it and am happy with the service,
In answer to some of the comments on the board about using the phone in the US, I can confirm it does work fine, I got the best service on the US T-Mobile network around Denver where the GPRS worked fine, (Using the T-Mobile offer of GPRS at same as UK rates, managed to do anot of good data transfer), on the West Coast (LA) the phone works fine but no GPRS available, due to the network roaming agreement there.
hope that helps for anyone thinking about taking XDA to a US area
Ammendment to the Above,
I should say that my XDA is a Model PW10A1, but since installing 2003 the software page reports it a PW10B1
And the Test in the US was done before the 2003 was written over the standard ROM
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=47035#post47035
This user says his won't work at all in the US.
Hi
Well all I can tell you is that my phone which is a 64mb UK o2 device worked fine, both on T-Mobile while in Denver and also in Los Angles, but only got GPRS service in Denver!.
Maybe the other poster had an older model, or some other reason i don't know all I can say is that my unit looged onto the US network as soon as the band was switched in the bootloaded.
I am back there next month, I will take a picture of the screen if you want showing it logged onto the netowrk if you want to see proof!!
Does such a thing exist?
I tried to use the o2 blackberry client but it seems to be operator specific for some reason
I'm basically trying to solve 2 problems by going down this route:
Enables me to use auto-delete messages in server side inbox so your limit doesn't keep stopping you receiving.
Also, I've had a problem from day one sending email from the XDAII and I'm still not sure if its the Vodafone stopping SMTP on the 'internet' ASN to none Vodafone email servers. I can receive email fine.
Anyone help with a solution?
i've had the same problem. Am also on Vodafone and blackberry client wont allow me to register. Furthermore, I have managed to send an email from my XDA, however cannot access full contents of my inbox. Don't have a solution but hopefully more posts will draw attention to this.
Blackberry on o2 XDA 2 with Voda SIM
Same problem guys.
My company has BES v4 in our French office. Was hoping to connect from my XDA2 in the UK after updating to the latest o2 ROM which includes the Blackberry client.
I know my Blackberry PIN and IMEI are registered on our French BES but thats as far as things get.
The Blackberry connect desktop software connects to the XDA and generates a key no problem but sadly can't establish a connection with the BES.
My only guess is that the O2 Blackberry client is coded to only work over the O2 network.
If anyone has any answers I'd dearly love to here them.
not sure which ROM version you're using, but BB will only work with official ROM's- BB server will kick you off if you use a cooked ROM (e.g. WM2003)
Suggest downgrade to most recent official ROM w/ BB (UK 1.72.181) and try again- should work
Hi
Yes, I had an xda II and used the O2 1.72.181 with the Blackberry client built in. I used it with my t-mobile sim in the USA with no problems, however, I was using the BWC and not BES... BWC worked great for send and receive e-mail, but I was never able to get attachments to download form the server to the device. So the fact that the O2 client worked with my T-Mobile USA service leads me to believe that its something on the Voda side. Assume that you all have a blackberry data plan and not the regular data plan...? That will require you to use a different APN to browse the internet as well...
Now that I switched to an xda IIs, I can no longer use blackberry, so I switched the the Smartner Push e-mail service (www.alwaysonmail.com) 2 month free trial, works on regular data plan, almost as fast as BWC, wakes up device when asleep when new mail arrives and attachments download with no problem. I am impressed with it. After 2 month free trial it will be about $5 per month. Good value when compared to blackberry service. Using the web client version here also, but its also available as an enterprise version that is a match with BES as far as I can tell. Give it a try...
Hope this helps.
Regards
Chris

RIM tie a ROM to the operator - so 172181 is tied to O2 UK. If it works on anyone else it's pure luck, until RIM get around to booting you off.
Hi Southern Man
Well, that's interesting... Guess I was one of the lucky ones... Why would RIM want to tie the ROM to an operator though... Surely if a BWC or BES client worked on multiple operators, that would encourage more people to use the Blackberry service and more money would flow through to RIM as a result...? Is it the operator/owner of the ROM that is getting RIM to restrict access? I wonder if BES and BWC are both restricted in this way. I only ever used BWC on T-Mobile USA....
Well, anyway for all those with issues, Smartner or iAnywhere have options for you.
Regards

I need to purchase a pda phone for a project that I am on. I have decided to go with one of XDA2i or XDA2s.
I only need to run one j2me application with the CDC config and Personal Profile on the pda phone and nothing else.
What I am unsure about is what is my best option in purchasing an XDA2i/s. I can do one of the following
1) Purchase the XDA on contract from o2 and then flash it so it has none of the o2 software on it which I do not require.
2) Purchase the XDA unlocked from expansys.com for about £600.
The problem is that I need to use the vodafone network in the UK as thats who our network provider is. I do not think Vodafone has the xda2i on its network and also if it does I still do not like the pre-installed software that comes with it.
So can I flash the XDA2i from o2 so there are no operator installed software?

you can make it simlock free
the sw can be found here in the forum.
you can also put another rom on it like the one i build (Diamond rom)
link below
goodluck

I dont think the XDA unlock programme works for XDA2i version?
Also do you have more information on your rom? As long as I can get rid of all the operator settings and then just add the GPRS settings for vodafone then I am happy. The pda will be used for a singel application so the less programs in memory hopefully the faster it will run.

O2 does offer IIi in UK, as far as i can see from O2 UK website. if you really hate those so called pre-loaded software. just do a hard reset follow by a soft reset before the auto install begins.
Sorry if this question has been answered already but i couldnt find a rom for this sort of problem. I found a post on it but it had no solution other than a link to the raphael rom development which i looked through and couldn't find a rom for what I'm trying to do.also will it be limited to no internet or will it have full access? I heard you have to download a program called getpst, I'm just not sure if there is a rom for this sort of thing. Thnx
you'd first have to have a CDMA radio in your Raphael... not a GSM one
secondly:
Consumers Can Now Activate Their Existing CDMA Handsets on
MetroPCS' Network, Offering the Freedom to Enjoy the Nation's Most

NO it will NOT
AT&T radios are NOT compatible...
DID you not read my first post?
crap, ok thnx anyway, im just going to keep att
Just to be clear, if your Raphael (branded or otherwise) has a slot for a SIM card, it is a GSM model. If there's no slot for a sim card, then it's a CDMA model. There is absolutely no way to use a GSM model on a CDMA network or CDMA model on a GSM network. If you try flashing a radio or rom from the wrong type of model onto yours, you run the risk of having a very expensive paper weight.
(models in the US)
GSM: Unbranded Touch Pro / AT&T
CDMA: Sprint / Verizon
if you're not sure what technology the network is, either ask here or ask somebody that works for that network (if they don't know, or even stumble when they answer as if they aren't 100% sure, ask somebody else)
just a hint: if you see PCS in the name, it's a CDMA network
2nd hint: if you see WCDMA written anywhere, that's not the same as CDMA and not relevant to this particular subject
I would like to be on the Verizon network by using Red Pocket Mobile (they contract with Verizon to provide the service through the Verizon network, among others).
However, I am surprised at the level of difficulty in finding out which phones will work on the network. All that Red Pocket Mobile seems to provide is lookup tool where you plug in the phone's serial number. However, retailers do not provide that info pre-purchase.
Further, I would like to run Lineage OS on the phone.
I would like the least or one of the least expensive phones that would meet all of these criteria.
