Hi,
Can anyone using WM2003 check to see if they have a "MORE" tab under Phone>Tools>Options and let me know the version.
The 4.00.11 version of WM2003 I got from Jeff's Kitchen does not have the "MORE" tab dispite the Microsoft Mobile site saying it should have!!! :?
mine does
Mine does. Its a USA 900/1900 T-Mobile device with 4.0.16 OS, 6.24 radio.
BTW: The radio version alters whats in Tools-options. e.g. the USA devices have a 'band' tab.
cheers,
..lance
Mine does not. T-Mobile device, 4.00.16, radio 6.24.00. Another device here with the same versions also does not.
Maybe this is related to a SIM feature?
nope
Mine does not. PPC 2002 on my XDA had it.
I've got an O2 XDA with 4.00.16 and Radio 4.21
I have got both the More and the Band tab.
Dear,
If all ROMs of yours are from Jeff's Kitchen, I think the presence of "More" option is optional when you cook your own ROM.
Thanks for the info guys,
I think it's a "feature" of 4.00.11, but I will check on Jeff's Kitchen for Ken_xda's suggestion when it comes back online. As Aurora13 has the same Radio as me but a different ROM, I will try an upgrade although I would rather have a UK ROM than a US one.
Mine does and I'm running a T-Mobile device, ROM 4.00.16 and AT&T radio stack A.20.10.
BTW my ROM came from a bin file install that I downloaded
from Aurora13's FTP site when it was active.
HTH
I too have just upgraded to ROM 4.00.16 and radio v6.24 (thanks Qman)...I do not have the "More" and "Band" options either - I remember having them under 2k2. Are these features important enough to request Aurora13 to repost the bin file? Should I revert to 2k2?
Good question!
As far as the "Band" option goings I'm sure you're safe if you plan only to use the phone in the Country/Region that your SIM card is set to. If not you
can always change if from the bootloader.
Now as for the "More" option goes it has the following Options:
Automatic pickup
Answer incoming calls without pressing Talk after xxx rings
Hardware button lock
Lock all buttons except Power button
Do not lock buttons
Broadcast Channels
Enable
HTH

Can this More" option" be retrieve any way on WM2003 4.00.11 i.e setting :idea: :?:
Hi All,
I've done a bit of fiddling. I downloaded ROMs for 3.17.00, 4.00.05, 4.00.11 and 4.00.16 from Jeff's Kitchen and tried all of them with Radio 4.21 from UK O2. The only one that gave me the MORE tab was 3.17.00. none of the 4.00.xx versions did.
I would like to try with a different Radio ROM but I don't have the previous version prior to te upgrade to 4.21. Can anyone tell me where to get an earlier version.
Hmmz strange I have the O2 Radio 4.21 and the 4.00.16 (kitchen) ROM, but I DO have the More tab!
O2 XDA with 4.00.16
Hello, Posible to download O2 XDA with 4.00.16 or 4.00.11 (not ROM Kitchen), where ftp? or site download?
Thanks
Wow you can download a XDA? I had to buy mine in a shop!
Maybe we can download the O2 XDA II already somewhere?
But seriously: if you don't select the extra options on the kitchen page, you get a 'standard' 2003 ROM.
The band-switching feature is particularly important. Any time I've ever switched bands using the bootloader method (using bootloader 5.15, ROM 4.00.05, Radio RA.20.10) I always seem to end up accidentally doing a hard reset. Very frustrating. I've learned to always backup to SD first, but what a pain. I travel to Europe reasonably often (just got back from T-Mobile country (DE) yesterday) and would love to have the tab back. I just looked at Jeff's kitchen again, and I can confirm that there's no option there to add the More and Band tabs (there's an option to add the BandSwitch program, but as the page says, and I can confirm, it doesn't work with the 4.xx.xx ROMs).
I'll try 4.00.16 to see if the Tabs come back.
PS - That config (ROM 4.00.05, RA.20.10) has worked great in UK and Germany for me... I've roamed all over and get as good as I can get considering I'm running at 900 while I'm there.
PPS - Maybe this has something to do with stk.lnk or HTC SAT (/windows/stk.exe) which seems to always hang at startup on my system?
No Band or More Option and HTC Sat Also Hangs
I've upgraded to ROM 4.00.11, Radio 4.17.00. I do not have the More or Band Tabs.
I also suffer from HTC SAT hanging at bootup.
Otherwise everything good.
I have an O2 XDA and in Australia
Because of all the expected mssing around with my original T-Mobile 1.60.00 ROM combined with a Bluetooth GPS, I decided to upgrade. It all works now, just let me share my findings with you:
I wanted the 1.72WWE and 1.14 Radio ROM, no Beta, but also wanted to keep my Dutch T-Mobile custumisations.
I took the recently released QTek 1.72 ROM
Unpacked it
Threw the extende rom file away
Changed the 'country code' from qtek to tmobile (see link on xda-developers mainpage)
Backed up my device using Activesync backup
Started the upgrade
UhOh: 'USB 1.03' on screen and nothing happening
Restarted upgrade
Went smooth all along
Hard reset: YES!! 1.72.00WWE / 1.14.00 radio with all my beloved Dutch T-Mobile customisations (ext rom 1.60.38)
Performed restore. THIS probably wasnt the smartest idea, because right after that my device was quite unstable. '
So: Did a 'permanent save' backup
and a Hard reset again.
Rock steady since then!
To get Bluetooth & BT GPS working frightened me a bit: getting that to work should be proof of the pudding to justify my upgrade.
Fiddled around 2 hours (com ports, gps viewer software that accompanied the GPS and what have you got . . .), until I tried the simple stupid method:
Switch on Bluetooth
Bond the BPS
Start TomTom GPS
Select NMEA 0183v2 9600 and Bluetooth GPS
I am very happy!!
For those that are still lokking for a decent cheap BT GPS: Search on ebay for DCONNEX. They sell for around 80 euros + 28 euros shipping. The DCONNEX DC-230 is in fact a rebadged Holux GR-230. Works like a charm, and for the price of a wire solution!
Works!!!!!
even imat v1.72 works great with BT GPS with no added BT tools

Is the same ROM.
Eelco is right
As long as you look just at the os & radio roms both QTek 1.72 and IMate 1.72 are the same.
Difference is withing the extended rom.
because I liked to keep the Duthc T-Mobile customisations (well not all, but most of them) I re-used my old extended rom.
Hello,
Help with 1.72 ROM set up.
I'm very excited about how you have set up your device, but I'm not fully certain how to do the same.
I have looked for the ROM unpacker, but the only thing I see on this site is the ER-Edit.
I currently have the T-Mobile UK Beta 1.72 on my device, and I'm not real happy with it.
If you can and if it is not too much trouble, could you please provide me a little more specific directions on how you accomplished your set up. I'm in the USA, and I upgraded from 1.60.36, which I was not very happy with either. I liked 1.60 better.
My major concerns lie with the country id error, and using parts of different extended roms and radio stacks, but I'm willing to try.
Thank You, Ed
Well since you now have 1.72 on the device its really quite simple.
(You might as well consider upgrading to the non-beta 1.72 from imate or Qtek, i used Qtek)
Foor the external rom customisations:
Unpack an update (like the 1.60 you mentioned) using winrar
Using the directions on thsi site determine your current çountry id FOR THE EXTENDED ROM
using the directions on this site (xda2nbf) change the country id for the extende rom file (ms_.nbf)
remove the other .nbf (nb and radio) files
Upgrade your device
Cold reset
Yopur device should now be a bit in the right direction
Install the extende rom-unlocker found in this forum
unhide & unlock the extended rom
Now you can add/remove programs from the extended rom.
adding goes like:
1. place .cab file of program to be installed in extended rom
2. add CAB line in config.txt just before the current last line
removing goes like:
1. remove cab file of program you dont like
2. remove accompanying line in config.txt
Dont forget to lock you extended rom afterwards so the contents is kept during any reset.
hope this helps.
also : search the forum on the topics extended rom unlock
edsub,
Thank you very much. Your response is very helpful, and sends me in the right direction. The winrar was the missing peice that I did not have.
I'm familiar with the extended rom part, but I have not played around with the .nbf, nor the rom locking.
The UK beta 1.72 I have does not seem real stable to me. I'm thinking of going with the iMate or Qtek 1.72, as you suggest.
Thanks again I'll see what I can manage.
Ed

Maybe off topic but where did you get the QTEK ROM from?
Can you share the URL.

Hi all,
I've recently bought a DC-230 GPS BT, but I cannot use with TomTom3
I have:
ROM VER 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.14.00
Ext 1.72.104 (with some cabs added by me)
And a XDA 2 (rom is a Qtek 2020)
I've tried:
Hard reset - no BT Tools - Bond GPS - Success with GPS Viewer (that is in boundle with DC) on COM5 9600
Started tomtomGPS, no success (with or without START GPS with GPS Viewer).
I've tried
- NMEA 0183v2 9600 on COM5 and on Bluetooth
- NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth on COM5 and on Bluetooth
- SiRF 9600 on COM5 and on Bluetooth
- SiRF Bluetooth on COM5 and on Bluetooth
I've removed bond with GPS.
So i've installed BT Tools 1.1. Bondend and added profile on COM7
GPS View didn't see the GPS
TomTom the same (i've tried the same drivers)
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Fabio
try changing to nmea 4800 on the same port that the gps view is showing, make sure gps view is closed when starting tomtom. Alsi instead of choosing from the upper drop down box in tomtom, look in the lower drop down, you may find your gps is announced/listed there.

GPS View found my GPS... TomTom GPS no
Is the right version of TomTom GPS? (down right i see V2.09 305/393)
In the lower drop down box I see only com/irda/bt ports...
Thanks
You should have totmtomgps V3.02. It is available on their site.
Downloaded TomTom GPS 3.02...no success

Aehm....uhm...

Bluetooth authomatic activation problem
I am sorry to jump in this discussion, but I had a BT problem, I couldn't connect to a GPS (Leadtek), and I did almost the same thing you are talking: I upgraded my QTEK2020 to 1.72.00WWE/1.14.00/1.72.602.
After the upgrade I installed the Pocket Bluetooth Tools and after some bondings/"unbonding", the COM7 profile appeared and everything worked fine from that moment on.
Now, there are 2 things I want to share:
- first, in order to have a diferent Bluetooth serial connection to the same or another port, I had to kill the the bond I created with the Leadtek GPS, then bonded again without activating the serial profile and then killed that bond again. Only after this series of actions, with a soft reset between all of them, I was able to bond with a diferent GPS bluetooth (I think it was from Globalsat), using the Com7 serial profile.
- second: my Qtek activates randomly the bluetooth by itself...
Does anyone know how to solve the authomatic random activation of the GT?
Try to activate in start/settings/system/bluetooth settings the extended port com 5. This helps with leadtek and emtac bluetooth antenna's for tomtom, and alturion.
Cheers
Why are you using Pocket Bluetools with rom 1.72??
NO NEED TO!!
Just use native MS BT Stack.
Bond the BT GPS, say yes when asked to assign COM port.
Let GPS software use COM5
Settings for TomTom3: NMEA Bluetooth GPS / COM5
Works flawlessly
My XDA 1 phone has stopped working - no signal - can't phone - or internet or anything. It still connects to the emergency police number though - everything else works fine on the XDA. (It has ppc mobile 2002 on it.) Any ideas how to fix it?
Does this sometimes happen?
Is it the end of my device?
I have used the SIM card from my "non-working" xda1 in another phone and it works. I have used a SIM card from another phone which I know works, in my ."non-working" xda1 and it won't work .
I have set my xda1 to manual configeration, and it finds networks, it says available networks: KPN and Libertel, (I am in Holland). So I guess there must be a signal to and from my xda1. (Is that right?)
It doesn't give "telfort" as an available network. which is my simcard network. The xda1 says it is o2 uk all the time. Is it possible it still thinks I'm in the Uk and doesn't switch over to Dutch networks?
I'm in over my head with this...what should I do?.
I live in Holland - it worked fine. I took it to England - it worked fine - it switched over to the English phone networks etc. I bought it back to Holland and it stopped working!
I have just had a message on my xda1 saying: "unable to read settings from the net work."
The little mushroom icon at the top of screen never changes. There is no activity there.. . which I guess means there is no signal.
Does this mean the phone part of my xda1 is broken? If so, can it be mended?
a lot of questions I know!
Go to settings/phone and choose "network", when your required network shows choose it. It should do this automatically if "auto" is chosen.
I have the same Problem with my XDA1 and auto/manual configuration does not solve the problem. My SIM Card works with other mobil phones, too.
I upgraded the phone with the new o2 Radiostack, but still no change.
I tried the SpecialEdition Rom, bis the auto configuration did not work, so I got no signal, because I was not abel to set the phone to o2_de-loop.
Then, I upgraded the Windows to the new version available at o2. Sitll no change.
So, I'm going to disassamble the phone to check some soldering. I think this is some king of contactproblem, because sometimes - after serval resets - the XDA comes up with a working phone! But this only works until the next time I need to press the reset button.
You may have any ideas?
Greetings,
Timo
I'm not able to disassamble the Wallaby
The XDA must be closed with some kind of clip and I don't want to damage the hull of this beautyful and smooth device...
Greetings...
Hi,
I am trying to use my XDA SPV m1000 with my leadtek Bluetooth GPS receiver. I was using this http://www.tomtom.com/support/rightnow.php?ID=4&Language=1&M=0&Page=std_alp.php guide to set it up.
I got through all of the stages except the last one. It won't let me put a tick in the box.
I'm guessing I need a newer firmware version. The current version I have now is 4.20. Or it may be because I have version 3 of tomtom. Either way this is pi$$ing me off something chronic.
Thanks for any help.
hi everyone.
sorted a mate with tom tom 7 on his charmer with newest wm5 official (o2). program works fine, but the problem is linking with his copilot gps bt module.
it all works well until the GPS MODULE is turned off, like you would overnight.
when turned back on, the pda asks if you want to connect. saying yes prompts for the passcode for gps module, but now have to re-do all settings on pda and tom tom, before it will work.
i tried it with my hermes running wm6.1 pro, and i dont have a problem.
any ideas?
Install WM 6.1 on Charmer. (Maybe this works cause you said it works on Hermes.)
i will as a last resort. i was just wondering if anyone else had come across this problem before
Found way around the problem. Tried a different GPS unit, works brilliantly.
not fixed the problem, but good enough
