Upgrading Australian XDAII

I am using RomVer:1.60.00WWE 12/3/03 RadioVer: 1.08.00 ExtRomVer:1.60.44. Could anyone give me a suggestion on what upgrade I can place on my XDAII? I run copilot live on it and works well but battery life is crap.
Can I install the XDA Developers rom or will it not work with the Australian XDAII version???
:roll: THANKS
O2 Asia has a 1.66 ROM, which seems to be on all of the devices that have been bought recently. I had it put on mine when I had it repaired last week. I havent noticed any major differences between 1.60 and 1.66 and when I called O2, they said the only differences were that some extra carriers details were added to the AutoConfig tool. I think there were a couple of minor changes too, but nothing great.
I haven't tried any of the Xda Dev's ROM's, but there is no reason why they wouldn't work. You will be voiding your warranty by aplying them though.

THANKS
WIth the setup I have at the moment I find that there are a few bugs like system hanging a lot.
is there a place where I can download ready made roms for the XDAII?
I have just installed Omega1 Batterypack2003 and I am having issues with it. the program keeps hanging and I have to soft reset the device for it to start again. Is anyone familiar travroute and a bluetooth gps. And tweaks or problems they are having.

compatible blutooth handsfree for XDA IIs

I am looking for a new bluetooth handsfree for my XDA IIs (I bought it in Indonesia), so this should be the asian rom version one.
I have got jabra bt110, which is my first bluetooth handsfree (I dont want to spend too much for my first bt handsfree gadget).
In my opinion, when it works, it is very good.
however, somehow, it doesnt work well with my IIs.
Basically the IIs has to be held closely to the bluetooth in order to work properly i.e about 30 cm distance is max.
When it is more than 30 cm, I can still hear the other person talking, however, they cannot hear me for at all.. it rattles so bad...
I guess this makes having the bluetooth handsfree useless, since whenever I want to use it, I have to maintain the 30 cm distance...
Is it my XDA version or its just not compatible, I dont know...
1. Does anyone have experienced similar thing?
2. Anyone have any suggestion on a good bt handsfree that will work perfectly for IIs??
ROM Version: 1.31.00 WWE
ROM Date: 12/13/04
Radio Version: 1.02.00
Protocol Version: 1337.32
ExtROM Version: 1.31.920 WWE
I know I have not upgraded my rom version to newer one, since I couldnt be bothered re-install everything now... and the fact that A LOT of ppl tried to upgrade and ended up having a "stuffed up" IIs.
Please help

Calling South African 3G users of the TyTN

I have been experiencing problems with hand-overs whilst in the 3G mode.
This started about 4 weeks ago and affects all Radio ROM's on WM5 and WM6.
What happens is that when moving from one cell area to the next, the signal is lost and the phone disconnects. One has to then force a connection again. This does not happen if the phone is set in the GSM mode.
The problem is network related and well known to Leaf Wireless.
They informed me that a WM5 upgrade would be posted at the end of this week which included the fixed Radio ROM.
They will however not be including this Radio in their WM6 upgrade to be issued at a later stage. ( To protect the sales of the comming Kaiser?)
Is this fair treatment to hand out to their loyal customers?
So your phones that were purchased from January on, will not benefit from the ugraded OEM's and fixes on the WM6 release.
I was planning on upgrading to a Kaiser, but after waiting patiently for a better ROM for sooooo long, and now this news - no chance!!
I expected better for a device costing +/- R8000 ($1,100)
As far as I know, radio firmware do not depend on the OS. You would normaly be able to extract the radio version from the WM5 rom and flash it on your WM6 device.
If they really change the way the OS interact with the radio, it is really screwed; but I am very doubtfull about it
basilrsa, are you currently on WM5 or a cooked WM6 (or maybe the official Asia one)?
I have never really experienced a disconnect problem when switching cells, but more of a "data hanging" issue, ie. it will show it is still connected, but no data is flowing. This has been on WM5 (Pre-AKU3 radio and AKU3 radio). I am currently on 1.48, and it seems much better. I see you are on Vodacom ... they have been having problems with that for a long time now

Thanks for your view, it is appreciated.
Yes, I will be able to extract the Radio from the WM5 release and flash it to my device.
The problem is that many users in SA want their warranty intact. By altering the standard ROM's they void their cover.
The point is how can they provide the new Radio with WM5 and not WM6 which they intend to release, but with a buggy Radio!

Thanks,
See my signature for my current setup (WM6 - Sleuth and Radio1.48)
The problem does exist as a new Radio attached to WM5 will be released at the end of this week.
The post above will explain why I am pi**ed off.

please post it if you manage to extract it !!!

New HERM_Radio_Only_1.56.10.12_GPS_CustomRUU.rar

I don´t flashing
ftp://[email protected]/Hermes/HERM_Radio_Only_1.56.10.12_GPS_CustomRUU.rar
is this the newest one? anyone have any info on this radio version?
is it only for tynt2 cos of gps?
That is a good possibility... I tried flashing on my Hermes 200 and received an invalid model id error... so I think it is for the Kaiser..
If memory serves - the Hermes and the Trinity have interchangable radio roms (you can flash the rom from one to the other and they work fine.) The Trinity has GPS hardware (I'm not going to touch the Hermes hardware) which was recently enabled by a radio update. The Trinity radios that end in .12 (I believe) have GPS functionality enabled. They work fine on the hermes but due to hardware/design issues - you will obviously not have GPS functionality on your hermes. The numbering looks right that it very well could be a hermes/trinity rom but I don't have my phone handy to test it right now
For HERMES or KAISER?
...and it seemed not for Hermes..
and if it is, why add GPS in the end?
Did this get removed? i can't find it now on the ftp site.
and I cannot find the file on ftp, either.
Have you remove it???
Could you give further indications?
tks!
It's for a Kaiser, Maybe it's in th Kaiser forum
anyone tried...flashed...
seems it's gonna be a risk...
is there a way to extract the gps radio? and just leave the regular wifi, bluetooth stack and gprs.
just a thought
