I just spoke live with Imate Support via clubimate asking the rep about an upgraded ROM with AKU3.2. Here is a copy/paste of the screen shot:
Bob> Welcome to Club i-mate. My name is Bob and I am a Club Advisor. What can I help you with?
rv> Hi Bob, thanks for your assistance
rv> I have a short query in regards to ROM upgrades
Bob> hi
Bob> yes?
rv> will IMATE be offering a ROM update with AKU3.2 for the JASJAM
rv> ?
Bob> We are definitely going to launch some new updates for JASJAM soon. They are still in the design and testing stage and hence I cannot give you a specific time frame for the launch or the device specifications. However, as and when we receive the information, it will be posted on the site www.clubimate.com. Please keep a regular check on our website for further news and updates on our devices and services.
rv> the problem is A2DP in bluetooth, the sound is terrible with many stereo BT headsets, and ive heard that an upgraded BT stack will resolve these issues
Bob> yes
Bob> A2DP works only with certain headsets, that why it is not announced, that JASJAM supports A2dp
rv> i have tried both blueant x5 and itech blueband/clip, all 3 work but sound is rather low quality on the JASJAM as compared to a PC
rv> I beleive it is the BT stack, MS needs to tweak it
rv> thanks for your efforts today Bob, greately appreciated
Bob> welcome
Well, from this transcript it doesn't look like it's going to happen soon, just a usual canned replay.

Man, another bluff-man... never mind about him...
Have you tried O2Ger version? I saw some data about bluetooth fixes, did they put some efforts on HandsFree profiling? any idea? info?
BTW, i'm writing a lil prog for WM03 that will emulate hands-free music playing at your headset, don't u wanna be a beta tester for that? if you have bt head of course! Mine is HBH65 and now it can play only midi files and some low-sampled wavs and can not cojointly work with radio stack on (( so i need beta testers to do some research on headsets specifications and behavior, maybe your will work ok.

HTC, I will take part in that beta test if you need more testers.

yep count me in as well m8
Zetex :wink:
Sorry to sound smug - didn't mean to cause a stir. I can share but only on a 56kb connection so a bit difficult. The full pack will be 25mb. See the O2 reply I got a few mins ago.
The expected size of the download is 25 Mb.
There is also a .pdf instruction file that can be downloaded, this should be approx 120kb
"The ROM download combines both the ROM and Radio updates in one (unlike the previous updates for the original XDA where they were separate).
These should be fully self extracting/installing, but for further info, the .pdf should be checked before running the installation.
Kind regards
O2 Data Support Team"
I have JABRA 250 and XDA BT200 headset if I can help?
RobinHood,
How did you get the file.... O2 did'nt send it to you on an email did they????
that must have taken hours for a 25mb file on a 56k connection..
:shock:
Zetex
I am going to be getting my XDA II in a coupld of days (Australia) I'm guessing it will not have the latest firmware/software on it, is the UK, German and Australian versions different in any way? I am new to the PDA marked (First one, still have not played with one yet, but looking forward to it).
Please post some photos of your new ROM for us to see. Thank you.
XDAII AND Plantronics Bluetooth-Headset M3000
I have XDAII AND Plantronics Bluetooth-Headset M3000, if you need a beta tester....
So, which version is this upgrade? is it the 1.60 or is it newer?
RobinHood >
you cannot not to share it! :shock: :?
On the front page, there was a comment that the GER new ROM features:
- New O2 Active User Interface
Anyone know what this will look like ? What new features it has ?
TIA
can't wait till Friday
O2 UK Update will be posted on their website tomorrow. The Installation and feature instructions are attached.
the "new" gui in german has only minor but nice updates.
The only noticeable change is under My XDA, which changed.
Most obviouse you will have a field "my programs" where you can apply your own programs, I think very useful so you don't need the stylus anymore to start for example the navigator while driving.

QTEK 2020
Will this update work on the QTEK 2020. I sure do hope so!
Handsfree not icluded
Hey every1
I've downloade the pdf file read trough it and I've notice in the software changes under bluetooth, the handsfree profile is still missing.
I thought that this upgrade was going to resolve this problem??
Any comment from anyone.
Regards
Gigi
It says in the pdf file that handsfree profile and spp is supported and improved, where are you reading that it isnt?
Hey Everyone
Two things i need help with
Firstly - i want to get a bluetooth keyboard for my XDA2 but i can't find any. Does anyone know where to get these from. Also, i found a virtual keyboard which might interest some people which can be found at the link below
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/ibizpda/vike.html
Secondly - Microsoft Voice Command looks excellant but is currently only available in the US and Canada, does anyone know how i can get it now or when it will become available in the UK?
Thanks for any help you can give
Michael
maybe this one?
http://davesipaq.com/articles/000058/bluetooth_keyboard_ipaq
Nope, that keyboard won't be compatible:
It requires the Widcom or Socket bluetooth stacks. The i-Mate has that piece of sh*t Microsoft one.
I am really starting to get sick of the horrid bluetooth software on the i-Mate :evil: A first class PDA phone and fifth class bluetooth software.
Anyway, confirmed here:
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2903
well nokia just showd a bluetooth keyboard at some show
which will be out in the fall
maybe it would work ?
My understanding that it is possible to install Widcom stack on the i-mate, at least I remember doing that on my previously. So, it might work with keyboard in this case.
What's the difference between the I-Mate and the XDA2. I'm new to this technology and don't know the difference. They seem very similar.
HTC is the company from korea who makes the 2 devices supported on this site
'Wallaby' and 'Himalaya'
the former is xda1 and mda1 and qtek1010 and l.......
the later is xda2 and imate and qtek2020 .......
so to answer your question
they are the same hardware
Thanks for the info. So, you cant use something like the Logitech bluetooth keyboard? I know they have full size keyboards for the pc but will it work with the XDA2? By the way, does anyone know anything else about the virtual keyboard i refered to with the link? it looks ok but might not be better than bluetooth.
Is there any firm news on the likleyhood of a WM2003SE Upgrade for XDAII's (or any of the other versions of this hardware)? I have seen plenty of posts from people who seem to think it will come sometime but nothing official confirming this.
Given that HP have abandined any possibility of an upgrade for existing users I think it unlikley but I guess it only needs one ISP to offer the upgarde for Himalaya hardware and then we should be able to re-work it for the rest of us.
Yes, I'm looking for this too! I was hoping at least the new T-Mo USA iPaq phone edition would have SE! Is there a way to put that OS on my xdaII? -or is that a bad idea? -is it possible to get that ROM anywhere?

here is a qoute from http://www.clubimate.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2872 posted by pmanser:
I just talked with the "live support" on this site. This is a copy of the session
Welcome Paul, please wait while we get you in contact with one of our club advisors...
You're now talking to Ali
Ali> Welcome to club i-mate support. My name is Ali, how can I help you today?
Ali> hi
Paul> hi, i wanted to ask about if/when the Windows Mobile 2003 SE update will be available for the imate PPC
Ali> Microsoft have just released Windows Mobile 2003 SE, however we need to add our elements to the operating system to make it into the complete device package.
Paul> is there any guess on time frame, it as been release by microsoft for a couple of months now.
Ali> there is no exact day for that
Ali> this usualy take 2 mounths
Paul> I have a number of friends who are considering purchasing the imate, but not sure if they should wait a bit longer if it wont be getting the landscape support found in SE. Can I at least tell them that it will be supplied sometime (this year)
Ali> yes sure , The Windows Mobile 2003 SE is totally different from the new upgrade currently available on our www.clubimate.com website that updates the current version of Windows Mobile 2003.
Ali> it will have the ability to view the pages in landscape
Paul> I understand that, just wanted to make sure it will be provided. I know a number of manufactureres have said they would not.
Paul> thank-you for your time
Ali> any more quieries ?
Paul> I have noticed that there is a number of questions about this topic on the support message boards on the club imate site. Is it ok if I post this conversation there to the public to answer the question and lay fears at ease?
Ali> ok thats will be fine , as i told you we need to add our elements to the operating system to make it into the complete device package.
Paul> ok, thank alot, you have been very helpful

Dear,
Follow my link to original developers of WM2003SE here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14373
HTH
Man, I am so insecure of which rom to use after all the zillion editions that surface each day, that I am afraid of using a buggy one. Better wait for a stable confirmed image, I guess.
Why not combine your own?
I use 2.06WWE (mysteryman) as found in the other posts, kept it as is, only exchanging the radio stack to 1.18 (picked up from 2.02)
I find it pretty stable, only has some trouble getting avantgo to work properly...
Problem of combining is that i don't have time to get that much into it, i'm afraid. My normal working hours are so hard that i hardly have time to sleep, so I'd like to get a working edition that is just plug'n'play as it's so nicely put by M$
Can you post your setupfile ?
If you dont have enough time, dont upgrade. Sounds like your to busy to worry about things like phones. Use 2 cups and some string instead. ROM upgrade your carrier pigeon, they are also more reliable.
I'd recommend you wait until a proper upgrade comes out from your phone provider.
The upgrades (especically SIN v3.5) do work well and don't take a whole load of time to install, but you can have problems.
I guess the questions should be, is there a Rom Kitchen
version of WM2003SE?
The Kitchens are the best way to cook up a custom rom with or without your desired ingredients.
Also, is there an XDA I version of WM2003SE?
I just upgraded and it work like dream! I also got the widcomm 1.4.x to work perfectly with my superduper version which was bundled with my norwegian BT dongle. No problem with that "license" message either. Anyone need that package, let me know and I can post it.
Also, syncing with Async using BT works superb too.
NB! My stringphone is already upgraded ;-)
widcomm issue
Hi!
How did ou get past the "license" message? Could you post it?
:wink:

Er, people. When you say that Widcomm software is installed and working for you, can you also post what type of Bluetooth dongle/USB adapter you are using?
I think the license issue arises from the fact that Widcomm forced each BT dongle/USB adapter vendor to hardcode the device ID into a btsec.dll file issued with the Widcomm BT installation files.
If you have the software from someone, and you are using the same type of BT dongle/USB adapter as that guy, then you are in luck, coz the license is the same.
I had 2 dongles, one a generic CSR device and another Belkin one. Both comes with their version of Widcomm software, and the software wouldn't cross-interact with both devices because of the license issue.
What a DIM comm idea!
Hi,
I only forward an information from IVT. I asked them if they try to make BT solution for our XDA II.
I tryed MS, Widcomm and many combinations on my XDA II. But every time i got problems, unstability or something of Synchronization, Modem, Headset, Handsfree, GPS didn't work.
I have BlueSoleil BT with my MSI BThub and I thing it's very good. Maybe best I tryed (M$, Widcomm).
So, there are the answer from IVT>
......I am the project manager of BlueSoleil CE's product. I am so glad that you want IVT provide a good Bluetooth solution on it. Actually we want to have a solution on T-mobile MDA II Pocket PC Phone if we can get help from HTC people's supporting!
We will contact with HTC's people to see if we can have a solution on it! I am really not sure that we can get any help from HTC!....

Maybe a hope for us. Maybe some petition or some(many) E-mails to HTC support can help. What do you think?
