not really sure what you mean by that
if you mean if it's based on the whole new windows CE v5 then no it's
SE as in second edition
so it's just the second edition of wm2003 which is based on windows CE 4 or 3 i forget
To the Moderator...
It was suggested, after the last such post like this, for about the ten thousandth time, that it might be worthwhile making it STICKY, that win2003se is NOT OUT YET etc.
If this wasn't done, can I re-suggest it now Peter?
Before all going crazy... about WM2003SE for the QTK2020
Yes it exist,
No it is not avalaible...
And the worse still to come :
it require a valid licence and ACTIVATION...
Bad time is coming....
big brother is on the move ?

What do you people have against Nyditot Virtual Display?! I've been using it for years in my MDA - 640x480 landscape - just a little work with fonts and cleartype + undock keyboard and you basically have comfort of PC screen! You don't need any SE!
The main problem I have with it, is that has caused my i-mate to freeze more than once.
I'll wait for SE . . .
NEVER had a single problem with NVD! :?:
mda3 runs se, we might be lucky as hardware seems to be almost identical, apart from keyboard and wlan
nvd works fine on an xda1 but on an xda2 it totally mongs it up, works a lil then goes fubar...
Hi,
I have had it ! I decided to change my PocketPC OS to some company other than Microsoft !
Each time I install a new Program(most of the good ones) in the WM2003se ... either hang or Hard Reset !
Don't wast your time with it ..
Also , Don't wast your time developing or looking after better extended ROM !
Simply install you OS , then install all your favorite Programs in your favorite location (SD may be) then set all of the copy protection serials numbers and then perform a backup in your SD (using Sprite or any other that provide Self extracting) !
Whenever you have a problem .. simply hardreset .. then restore !
Sorry for being so straight !

Any
That may be a good solution for your situation but that doesn't mean that it will for for every body!
I like my self cooked Extended ROM and haven't experienced any hang or hardreset until know.
Also everyone must be aware of the fact that not every application will run on the w2k3 se. Just like it doesn't on your PC.
So there is not one solution and the solution is specific to the needs someone has.
Regards,
Mark
Waleed,
Sorry you feel that way but for me its the real fun part of owning a XDA II. Coz being an engineer also helps .. we love to fix things, even if it aint broke ... until it breaks.

My sentiments too... It's a TOY for me to bash!!!!!!
I've only experienced 1 hang:- with XCPUScalar ver 2.82. I upgraded to ver 2.85 and my device is running smoother than the old 1.66.00WWE ROM.
Mind you, I don't run that many apps either. Just calculators / Adobe / XSForms etc...
I installed and am enjoying using Fonix Voice Dial, which I never would have since ROM 1.72 isn't released for Asia as yet!
Either way, I am having a ball playing with this powerful work tool... cough... toy!
Recrem...
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, WOW....!!, It's a Fenomenal ROM, I very like it !!!, but if you don't, just to downgraded to 1.72 + SRS Appl.
Cheers,
I'm not sure if this has been answered yet, but has anyone attempted to load the XDA IIs onto a standard XDA II?
I'm aware that the IIs has a keyboard & wireless, but apart from this the unit is technically identical, and I suspect that the drivers for the keyboard & wireless will just fail to load, even though the ROM's are specific to each device.
dont even try it !! you will kill your machine! The ROMs are NOT compatible to each other. A IIs will not start with a II ROM nor the other way round
Dont get me wrong. 2005 is quite good, However:
1. Activesync 4 isnt working
2. The camera software is crap
3. None of my software programs run on it.
4. Every time i change the screen aspect, the alignment is wrong.
5. The damn thing conects the gprs while im asleep and i wake up with no credit left.
So i want to go back to 2003se.
But I cant because activesync doesn't work properly Bluetooth A/S works (sort of)
Any solutions...?
Can't you use USB instead? It'll be safer..
Be warned though, if ur also planning to downgrade from AS4 to AS3.8 (mainly bcos backup/restore) you'll face some big problems.. It made me regret for upgrading to WM2005 and AS4..
Done it...
I got an octopus to press the buttons until the serial 1.01 thingy was displayed.
stuck it in the cradle
ran the 2003se software.
Im sticking with AS4...

In a moment of madness I upgraded from 2k3 to 2k5 and instantly regretted it (after picking my way slowly throught the v. good instructions on here).
I've got as far as you have stated, but which ROM do I need for 2k3SE and how do I do it?

For some reason my 8525 does not work with any rom with AKU 3.3, when I try to enter the comm manager it gives me that wait sign, and when it goes away nothing happens. Also the phone always says no service, and it does not even recognize when I don't have a sim card in. But the biggest problem is when I downgraded back to my old rom my Wlan does not work. No matter how i try and turn it on it does not start. If I try to start it in comm manager, i get that wait sign, and when it goes away the wlan is still off, the keyboard shortcut doesnt work either. I have reflashed the phone many times, and that hasnt fixed the wlan problem. BTW i flash from an sd micro card because I have windows vista and the regular upgrade method doesnt work on it.
Is there anybody that could please help me, it is out of warranty because I bought it on ebay, and I don't have the money to go about buying another one or repairing it (do they even repair pocket pcs these days?)
I toook the battery out and smelled the inside of the 8525, I think it smelled kinda funny, is it possible for the wlan chip to burn out?
btw, i will be willing to reward the person who helps me fix my pda (don't expect too much, im broke, probably $20 through paypal)
The first thing you need to do is flash to original ROM using XP and a USB cable.

Just asking, but would that be any different from getting the .nbh file from the original rom and flashing from SD, or does something different happen that could be causing my problem?

So just out of curiosity, what made you smell your Hermes? Because I tend to smell things, and I wondered if it was just the urge to smell it, or if you anticipated the burning-electronics smell...

I wouldnt trust flashing in two ways:
1. Retractable usb cable
2. SD card
You never know what can go wrong. Use XP and a REAL USB cable. If you still have a problem, very possibly you still will, but at least we can mark that off the list.

would using Virtual PC to run an image of XP on Vista be adequate?

I never used virtual PC before, I dual boot.
hypothetically, If I flashed to the original rom using XP and the wlan still didn't work what would I do next? Also i just realized that my pda is hotter than normal, and sometimes when i plyg it in the amber light blinks instead of being solid.
LOL. I hope you have a warranty.
I dont know, if your WLAN wont even power on after a SUCCESSFUL flash of a confirmed good ROM (the original ROM) then you sound screwed to me.

That's not good, I don't have a warranty.
Well anyone have any info about the AKU 3.3 and phone module problem? I think it might have something to do with the radio
@cjchriscj
I think you already know you have an issue. Base on this thread and your responses, it sounds like you have a feeling things are not right. Most of the time when you feel that way, you are usually correct.

Maybe but the WLAN is not a Radio ROM issue.

yea, I kinda assumed that, but my 8525 has many problems, I posted about another problem that I have where I can't use the onboard microphone for voice calls, only note recording, and the wired headset's mic doesnt work either. The only way that I can use my 8525 as a phone is with a bluetooth headset which I fortunatley have. But, I'm over that problem. I need help with the AKU 3.3 roms messing up the phone radio

you need to go back the shipped original ROM since we know that ROM works. AKU 3.3 is TEST so it is not good to use it as a hardware diagnostic tool.

whoa, thats news to me, I thought cingular officially released the new rom
Is there any sort of diagnostic tool for the hermes? I remember when i had my Ipaq Hx2415 it had a self diagnostic tool that would check all the functions (wifi, bluetooth, sound, touchscreen, buttons, etc). It would be great to see if something is really wrong with my wifi
OK now i think that the wifi is running but the pda doesnt know it. The battery is draining faster than normal and also it runs very hot. I put it to charge and when i came back it was blinkin amber and almost dead (yes, it was plugged in)
