What are the odds that when Cingular PTT is available for the 8525 it will also be available (supported or not) on the 3125?

PTT on 3125 same time as the 8525
There's a decent chance as long as they didn't use any specific UI features of the Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC ed. and they use VS 2005 to develop it for WM5. I'm going to give it a shot when it comes out. I have the 8525 and just got my wife the 3125, so I'll have both to test from. I know from reading about hacks to enable the 8525 ptt button for other things that they'll probably use the ptt.exe that that button currently calls, inserting in the new app when it becomes available. Hopefully we can copy over that exe and any referenced libraries and registry entries and be good.

After installing xda-developers upgrade to unlock additional bandwidth, no longer have two volume controls - 1 for PDA, 1 for Phone. What happened? Can I get the two volume controls reinstalled?
Once you have installed special edition rom and unlocked the phone to all providers you can then upgrade to WM2003 or any other rom, the phone will remain unlocked. I dont know what you mean by additional bandwidth. I think the twin controls maybe a WM2003 feature because I dont recall having that on my xda with 2002. Aword of advice, leave your radio stack alone if it is working ok.
I'm really new with this entire radio stack thing. When I installed the XDA-developers unlocking software, it did it's thing. Did it change the radio stack info? My phone now has signal where it didn't before, so I'm happy!
When I originally installed the Windows Mobile 2003 (I saved the Siemens site I found it on previously), I think it changes something in the radio stack. Would this be a problem for the xda-developers ROM upgrade?
Also, I have AT&T service. The unlocking software offered to unlock TMobile. What other software do I need to unlock the AT&T side?
No the special edition rom or the unlocking software does not change the radio stack, but if it does work better then its a bonus. The WM2003 rom that you downloaded does indeed have a radio stack included, however I unpacked the files and only used the CE rom part of the upgrade as I have a working radio stack, I live in Uk and also I dont wish to kill my xda. My advice to anybody with a working radio stack is to keep it, ever since radio stack 4.21 came out I discovered that an upgrade can be responsible for turning beautiful devices into beautiful paperweights.
Does anyone know about the upgrade for the 8525 to make PTT work. I have a pearl now and want to go to the 8525 but have to have PTT for work. thanks
I'm pretty confident that I can upgrade my tmobile vario rom following the great instructions provided by forum members! the main question I hqve is do any tmobile uk owners have any recommendations on what rom to upload to? I'm fed up with all the bugs in this handset!
For now I'm using the HTC 1.35.255.2 (AKU2.3) ROM
I tried the HTC 2.05.255.1 (AKU3.3) ROM, but there were a couple of little things that didn't work - Windows Media Player wouldn't stream anything for example.
As a T-Mobile UK user who lives and works in London, it was nice to see the little "U" at the top of the screen turn into a little "H" with the AKU3.3 Rom, but I'm waiting for a final release with the bugs ironed out before I go back to AKU3.3.
I've had some irritating issues with my T-Mobile UK Vario II as well.
After I did a hard-reset and the T-mobile crap installed intself I can't for the life of me get the internet explorer to browse over Wi-Fi (even though I can connect to the router just fine).
What is the latest (or best) official t-mobile rom and where do I get it? (the wiki directs me to a blackberry download page).
there is no t-mobile uk rom at present, i am waiting for one myself, after already sending my device back once and getting a replacement as kept dropping calls, and bluetooth is utter rubbish on this device at present. Major problems with bluetooth car kit and this device.people not hearing me speak or in spits and spurts.
I am currently runnning the test aku 3.3 2.05 rom, which is far better than any of the others that i have tried. the 1.35 is also a lot better than the standard t-mobile rom.
my advice is either go for the 1.35 or the test 2.05 rom. you will notice the differnce immediately over the normal rom.
Hopefully it wont be long now before an official rom gets released by T-Mobile. They are seriously dragging there heals on this.

I uploaded this on to to my unlocked HTC TyTN (AKU 2.3), as I'm a T-Mobile USA subscriber & miss two of the MDA (wizard) ExtRom apps -
a. the sign in for TMobile (accesses the secure tmobile1x with a protcol that is not in 2.3 (AKU 2.3), and
b. a TMobile push for pop3 email on their My T-mobile service.
I also cannot send or receive MMS and hoped it might help with that.
It did not add either tool, nor make MMS worked and it stopped the Exchange 2003 push working. It really only adds meta icons for tools already present and a camera patch (not sure if needed).
The other Wizard apps - Instant Messaging and t-zones are available elsewhere.
I flashed it back to the HTC ExtROM & my MS Exchange push works again.
Thanks to the excellent help on this site that I could do this and go back.
Main reason for the post tho is to explain the content & post a warning about the Exchange push.
Do you guys using the original rom also have networking troubles with msn messenger?
Just sits there attempting to sign in?
I also had this on my mda pro and wondered if it was a rom problem or a t mobile specific thing
i think messenger is just slow not sure if the latest version messenger live rectifies these problems! does rom 2.5 rectify the tmobile 3g issue?
T-mobile Rom
Hi
I too am having issues with the t-mobile rom. Historically, T-mobile are always amoung the last to fix their bugs. They were very very slow on the universal.
I also really do wonder why operators see fit to include loads of operator branded [email protected] that no one wants!
I have unlocked my device using Pof's unlocker and installed radio 1.27. I mainly use my device on the train with a laptop via bluetooth. Thus far, I am finding that the 1.27 rom is worse than the 1.06 rom. Data does not keep moving as well as before, and I have more black spots on my commute.
I dont have the time, patience or nerve to chop and change roms too often, so I will wait for a AKU3.3 english official rom that has streaming etc working correctly before I upgrade.
I'd love for t-mobile to release on officially, but I doubt this will happen any time soon.
My main issues are with bluetooth and MMS. Bluetooth disconnects and disables itsself randomly (bloody anoying!). MMS does not appear to work unless you install all the t-mobile crap. I tried to install it by cherry picking from the cabs, but unless I install them all then the MMS folders in outlook dissapear on a soft reset.
The device also has a habit of deleting the t-mobile internet settings for the hell of it.
My universal was like this at first, until I shoved a Qtek rom on it instead.

Hello all,
I know there is a lot of stuff posted on this subject through many threads but I was hoping to have a veteran summarize their impression on the latest things possible (ROMS and clients).
I have a Cingular branded G4 8125 with IPL 2.25.0001 / Radio version 02.25.11. I plan on trying the shelltool to put something generic or T-Mobile branded for T-Mobile use.
I want to use VOIP via Wi-Fi How do the VOIP solutions compare? (Skype vs. some of the generic VOIP offerings cooked into the different ROMS). If a particular ROM has superior quality which one do you recommend. Is VOIP worthwhile at all with the 8125 or is it just not practical?
Thanks in advance

i use skype.
its power hungry n slow but works on a WM5 G4 with a little extra speed boost from omap.
What stable WM6 ROM can I use to enable video calling on AT&T 8525?
Can I use the Official WM6 HTC TyTN ROM?
I already used the HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock.
I am using WM6 3.62.502.3 AT&T ROM
Tnx
you dont need a whole rom, you just need a 3g dialer
that being said, at&t does not support video calling, there's this new video share thing, but i dont think its the same thing
No Video call on 8525

There are lots of roms with video calling that will run on an 8525 but there are two SMALL problems 1 AT&T doesn't support video calling and 2 (the SMALLEST problem) the 8525 doesn't have a front facing vga camera for video calling you will need in addition to a good rom a vga camera (the smaller the better) next a drill and torch cut a hole in the front of your 8525 and install the camera next solder the leads to the main board of your phone oh yea GOOD LUCK
