Hi everyone,
Here is the email I have received from the O2 Pacific Asia in relation to the WM2003SE upgrade for XDA II:
Thank you for choosing O2!
With regards to your query below, O2 XDAII is using Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC, & the latest rom version available for upgrade is 1.60.00WWE. Currently, there is still no news the next coming upgrade.
*Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC is the Only licensed copy which O2 XDAII will have, O2 will not support Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition in XDAII.
The latest rom upgrade for O2 XDAII, you could login at www.myxda.com with your username & password & click on 'Get the latest software for your device.'
In any case where the XDAII was upgraded to other 'rom' versions. The warranty of the phone will be void.
All future release of new models of O2 phones' details will be made available for viewing on the main page of www.myxda.com , please kindly refer to it for future updates. Thank you.
Warmest Regards,
Willy Ho (Mr)

Even this would be what I excepted, I still feel a bit sad about what O2 decided to do. Hopefully they will change their mind later!
I think it's kinda template answer for anyone who asks for 2K3SE.
Let's wait and see i guess, Asia Pacific normally don't have more details then the one elsewhere.
I agree that this is just a "standard" answer from O2. However, it may be true as well. As I said, hopefully they will change their mind later. By the way, I spoke to imate customer service and they said that the WM2003 SE upgrade should be avaliable by the end of the year. Hopefully they will do it coz upgrading from XDA II to XDA IIi/s....to me it doesn't worth to do it.
Tekguru has alreday hinted strongly that WM2003SE will indeed be released for current owners. An updated ROM is also around the corner.
Even by o2 standards we're starting to get a bit behind...
does anyone have any inside goss on when the 2i update is due, and what's on it. I'm getting tired of lockups, crap looking UI's and the inability to launch GPRS once I connect it to my car cradle / charger. I've heard rumours of 2005 inclusion, is this remotely plausible? My experience of o2 would suggest otherwise.
I'd ring or email o2 or their staff accounts guys, but I think the average fruitfly knows more than they do. Besides, I like my hair and I would hate to see it all pulled out on the floor...who'd clean it up?

I agree fully. I purchased my XDAIIi on the promise from O2 that na update was to be release in Spring. This never came and I'm getting so fed up with O2 suddenly becoming very quiet about any upgrade at all, that I'm contacting the Office of Fair Trade to get my contract bounced with O2. Last I spoke with someone in O2 they have no immediate plans for any firmware release for the IIi which is completely contradictory to what I've been told previosuly. Come on O2. SORT IT OUT BEFORE YOU START LOSING CUSTOMERS!!
well imate have said that they will not release 2005 for any of their series og HTC devices so unless tmobile or o2 have a different openion then i dont see it happning
Sean I'm not so sure that the info you got from o2 was accurate...afterall when I tried to ring up a day before (yes a DAY) the 2i was released, I was told by THREE separate individuals on separate occasions that the 2i didn't exist!!
We'll keep hanging in there, but I agree it's getting pathetic now.

Update
I work for O2 and have managed to find out that the rom update for the XDAIIi has been scheduled for September 2005
at that time it better be wm2k5!!!!
If that's true, you've gotta love the mentality...
New phone = Feb 2005...rumoured update for Spring. Spring comes, nothing. Summer comes, nothing. No update from any o2 source, official or otherwise. Then, suddenly it's gone to September. Also the time the Universal is rumoured to be out.
If it's Sept, then as Zoheer says, it had better be 2005!!

I don't supose you could find out when the xdaIIs update is due as well?
Thanks Frogspit, If that's the case I can be patient until then. The most inuriating thing is getting no information at all from O2 or even denials of any update at all. It's like being stuck on a London Underground train thats not got going anywhere and the driver doesn't give any information. It really [email protected]@es people off and drives them away from their service.
The official reply given by the o2 second line team (data support) is that its "highly unlikely" that o2 will offer rom upgrades to wm5 for existing devices.

I find that a bit hard to believe. If you work for o2 then at what level have you got that info? If its at customer service level then someone is probably just playing guessing games.

Can you let me / us know how you get on with this please?
Update
This information has been obtained from one of the members of the blackberry/tech support teams (non customer facing) within O2, I have been told as well as the O2 active update there is going to be a full rom update in or around the same time. this rom update will be the similar as the one that is currently available for the XDAII.
Included with the new rom update will be blackberry support for the XDAIIi aswell for those of you who are interested.
I have requested to be part of the beta test will post again near the time
This may coincide with this -
o2 music player
Xda II - Coming Soon
Get the latest sounds on your Xda II by downloading the O2 Music Player.
http://music.o2.co.uk/players.html
They may add the music player into the o2 active software which would require a ROM upgrade.

jdee246 shame on you for doubting me!!! rom update is now available from www.o2.co.uk/xda FULL SMUG MODE NOW
Don't see what you've got to be smug about. You got the date wrong and you were wrong about blackberry being in the rom.
Smug yes very
Yes got date wrong but they managed to launch early than anticipated so not totally wrong!!! and you were the main doubter as for the blackberry support they withdrew it due to technical issues what do you want 'the moon on a stick!!!!'
i dont think he / we want the 'moon on a stick' i think he / we want o2 to stop making promises which they clearly cant deliver.
i too upgraded from an xda2 to a 2i on the promise of blackberry support. its amazing that a company of o2's size and with the amount of money they make that they cant develope, test and release in 5 plus months something they only until recently kept saying would be released "soon"
total shambles to be honest
steve
There won't be a release for wm2005 on XDA IIi so start saving your money for the HTC Universal. Don't ask me how I got this info, but it is the fact! Too bad for all of us Xda IIi owners. Especially because I paid 1200 us when they first came out. Ouch!

You announce to all on this board that the release will include blackberry, and when it doesn't we're accused of wanting 'the moon on a stick'. That's very arrogant. You bloody announced it!
To be fair to O2, this is RIM software, and from what I'm hearing its RIM thats failing to come up with working software. But I do get annoyed when arrogant dickheads come onto this board, promise things that turn out to be complete rubbish and then blame us for it.
Frogspit, if I'd gone out and bought an xda IIi on the back of what you announced, because I want blackberry, now I really would be pissed off, and I'd be doing a lot more than just sounding off on this board.
Hi. First let me say I'm glad I found this site, and the info about unlocking the Softbank X01HT. Because of this I decided to get one.
Secondly. The problem is they are completely sold out no matter where I look.
Currently I use a Symbian UIQ Motorola M1000 (A1000) with Docomo and Mopera for push e-mail.
I have noticed it's possible to get hold of a Softbank X01HT for about 48,000JPY off Yahoo auctions, so I'm considering getting one that way just to try it out. But whether I try it with Docomo or get a contract with Softbank is the problem. Even though the hardware should be the same, there seem to be a couple of major differences.
Docomo:
Docomo provides push e-mail and WiFi hotspots via Mopera.net to the HTCz
Docomo sells only 1 phone which is advertised as using HSDPA, and it is *NOT* the HTCz, in fact HSDPA is not mentioned on any of the literature surrounding the HTCz, including HTCs own site at japan.htc.com
Softbank:
Softbank tells me that the HTCz does *not* have push e-mail capability.
Now if I'm going to replace the software anyway how can they be different?
Does anyone know if you *can* use push e-mail (via mopera.net, for example) with a Softbank contract, or if you *can* use HSDPA with a docomo contract using the rebranded Hermes?
I would like to use BOTH! Battery life sucks if the phone has to go and check for e-mail every 5 minutes.

HSDPA is not enabled on docomo rom. you can enable it by using fit4cat Hermes Tweaker but i hear that it doesn't work on docomo network.

softbank doesn't provide push email services but that doesn't mean that you can't use push email with using softbank. you can use 3rd party who provides the push email service. search the threads about those in this forum. for an example, read this thread.

you can't access mopera with the softbank contract but you can run push email with using softbank as mentioned in above. if you insist on mopera, you need to have docomo usim with htc z. flashing docomo rom on whichever hermes may work but i am not sure as i have never tried that. i have docomo usim but mopera push email does not work on my wwe rom and i haven't found any workaround yet. if you want to use HSDPA, you need softbank.

if you want to use both, you may want to use softbank with a 3rd party push email service. with all that said, i don't recommend to those who don't want to use japanese rom going for softbank for now. they will be changing the ap id/password soon and you need their new rom only in japanese until someone cracks the new rom for the password. read this.

and... i don't believe running push email on hsdpa will save the battery life. i do that myself and the battery only lasted for about 10 to 12 hours. i now have an extended battery of 3000mah to get through the day without charging.
Thanks for your reply. I had seen the revelation about sofbank's new lockout policy. I may wait a bit to see how that pans out before taking the plunge. Either that or it's a good incentive to hurry up with my kanji study!

12 hours!? holy crap. My M1000 currently lasts a couple of days. Is it really that bad for everyone or are you just a heavy user?

What IS actually this lockout policy? Seems they pulled out all X01HTs from sale these days (They said sold out)... I was trying to buy one for whole week, checked 12 different stores (Tokyo area), nowhere to be found! If anybody knows where to buy it, and share this info I'm buying pack of any beer, not kidding!
At one of the big shops in Shibuya, they mentioned something about ongoing 'softo' change that is taking place, and they also said that X01HT should be available again in one or two weeks!?!
I suspect the softo change is just to update their ROM and make it un-unlockable.. you can always buy one from yahoo auctions if you can dish out some spare cash (35,000~45,000yen?)

i heard they would start selling x01ht again with the new unlockable rom from today (dec 2.) why don't you hit the s/b store closest to you to take a chance.

that should be true. they've been holding off selling x01ht because of the rom update and that was the reason why the stock was scarce recently. i also heard that they could start selling them with the new rom loaded like from today.

i tried this myself but it couldn't really solve the issue with using docomo usim. it kills that annoying screen once when booting up and the device becomes operable, but that screen comes up again every now and then even when i'm in the middle of typing something. if you are using it as a pda with no usim in it, that screen won't come up again once it's killed.
i heard that imei-check in the uk has a solution to this.

I had to do a full reset because of unstability, but when I fired up O2 Connect to get O2 Plus, it wasn't there! Does anybody have a copy, or can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Last time I set up the phone it was there without any hesitation. I'm dependant on that thing!

hmmm... I hear that MWG group is taking over O2 Asia and that all downloads and support has been moved to mwg website. This might explain it:
Code:
It has been announced on 1st of November 2007 with immediate effect, Mobile and Wireless Group (MWG) will be taking over O2 Asia's assets in an agreement between MWG and Telefónica O2.
MWG is a company established by the current management team of O2 Asia to take on O2's existing PDA/Smartphone business in Asia and to continue to serve this high-growth sector.
To be kept up to date on the latest software applications, ROM upgrades and user tips for your current O2 device, please click here to be a part of MWG Connect on or before 15 Jan 2008. This will also ensure you are the first to hear about MWG's products, services and special offers.
Profiles of customers who have yet to opt in to MWG Connect will continue to be stored in O2's databases and may be dealt with in accordance with O2's data policy.
MWG will be responsible for warranty and after-sales support for all O2 Xda devices in the region. For up to date information on our service, please check support page before visiting the service centers.
We thank you for your continued support.
Yours truly,
O2 Asia
Thanks, but I don't think so, I have been there. It doesn't mention O2 Plus at all, only the totally useless SMS Plus, Media Plus and a few other silly things. Also I tried to download with the O2 Connect, and it had all those other programs in there, but not the O2 plus. And I'm also missing O2 Menu, which I have also been using since I got the Atom Life. Fishy stuff...
nice title W..T...F LOL hehehe
What's even nicer is that I finally found it. It's hidden within O2 Themes in the auto installer! Silly place to put it, but at least I found it. So now I have the % battery strength on the Today screen, and I can close programs totally with the long tap.
O2 plus is unstable
I missed ik as much after re set whan i did not find on O2 connect. then MGM people sent to me and moment i install it works fine but once one sets the current date it hangs and has to be hard reset and the same spiral is repeated...i stii miss % battery and close program menu but have come to live without.
Hello all,
This is a little tricky. The Daylight Saving Times in my country has been changed during the year 2013 by law.
Instead of finishing daylight saving time in September 8th we are finishing it October 27th.
The law has been passed in July and Microsoft has just last week issued a hotfix to all Windows machines to fix this issue.
I know that my carrier will change the time of the phone only in the appropriate time, that is not the problem.
The problem is the calender of our company Samsung Galaxy S3 and S II's are not updated with the right change (Android 4.1.2).
This means, for example, that if I set a meeting in my Outlook at September 8th at 08:00 am it will show up as 07:00 am on my phone.
This whole shift occurs to all our phones, between September 8th to October 27th.
We do not have root access to the phones. I would have tried this App if I did: TimeZone Fixer (ROOT)
Any ideas on how to fix this issues?
Thank you.
