The Atom does not have in-built GPS ... it requires a B/Tooth GPS receiver (you can buy a sirf III unit... for about $50 - $100+). As far as software - used destinator 6 & tom tom 6 (find Tom Tom better) but both work fine on my Atom. a windscreen holder is a good investment (about $25) - do a search and read reviews that way you should find a combination to suit your needs.

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

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:

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?

WM2003SE Upgrades - Is there Any Real News On this?

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
Paul> bye
Ali> you are most welcome
Ali> bye

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!

Need help before buying S310...

Hi guys!
I'm looking to buy HTC S310 but I have some questions before:
- Is it possible to set recurring alarm for the work weekday only? (e.g: with the check box for all single weekday... )
- WIch version of TomTOm runs on S310?
- I've got a lot of programs for my old i-mate Jamin with WM5... does that programs runs on S310 too or I need the smartphone edition?

Hi
personally i would not recommend you to buy this device.
as you can this thread is the most passive thread.
for this there are several reason
1. Not many people have them
2. Everyone who has one is happy with it so that they dont need to visit this kind of threads.
3. As this phone is basic (especially the screen resolution) not many people have an idea to play with it.
4. It is considerably less opportunity to CID or SIM unlock the phone due to deficit of interest in it.
Now regarding your questions
1. it should be possible to do the recurring alarms. dont know yet how cause never needed it though.
2. I dont use tomtom so i dont know.
3. you will need smartphone wm5 edition for all its applications.
My advice if you want to enjoy some nice shaped wm5 smartphone and at the same time if you will not overestimate its modest capabilities you can buy it. but dont put expect smth superficial from it.
Agreeed with botik. The only advantage of the Oxygen is the ability to record phonecalls. Otherwise, if the lack of the phonecall recording isn't a problem, go for something better - the Vox, for example.

Nike gps + wifi

Hello everybody,
I’m terribly sorry to disturb you but I’ve already use the “search function” on this site and there are plenty of posts and I’m lost …
Do somebody know if there is the GPS and WIFI functions on the HTC TOUCH DUAL ( nike ) ?
If, it s yes, may someone give me the precise link of the ROM I’ve to use in order to active them…
Thanks to everybody
See Sticky on this forum. Short answer - NO. The Touch Dual does not have the hardware for it.
The Hardware is present but no Radio could use it till today! And there wouldn't be any Radio for it!
