Hello all,
I'm new here, have read lots of the information available, but came here looking for an answer that I haven't found yet.
Situation is the following.
I got this Qtek2020 (or XDA II) from my dad who used it for his work. The reason he stopped using it is because the "phone" function itself is kind off acting weird.
Sometimes it is just nog possible to get into phone mode, neither of the two methods make te device display the dial pad...
- hitting the green button
- going Start-> phone
(It's kind off like a non responding program in windows when you want to execute it)
To make things clear, the phone works fine if we go to contacts and then choose the option to call the contact.
The question is, does this problem seem familiar and is there a way to fix it by for example putting a new rom on the device?
Any help or input about this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I think the HARD RESET should help . After a long... long work configuration data and other settings going to be ... melted . If U don't store on devise impotrant data just remove the battery for about 20 mins .
Here it is a Today Screen plugin that allows the display of the IMSI code (or a custom label for it) of the current active Sim. Works for all dual Sim solutions allowing to always know which is the SIM in use.
From my personal experience I prefer the use of simple power on-off solutions because they consume the same amount of energy of a normal SIM. The digital solutions provide a nice STK application but the resource consumption is not acceptable (especially for HTC Hermes). This plugin solve the main problem of the simple power on off Dual Sim holders: knowing which is the active Sim.
Configure your custom labels in the Today option dialog for the specific item (Dual SIM Today).
Update:
Added menu to switch with a single click between the sim (works only for power on off adapter)
Added the operator name associated to the SIM
Some bugs fixed
Update 1:
Added configuration parameter to:
Activate the display of operator name
Define the Sim switch mode: traditionally with a menu or directly with a tap & hold on the today screen (with the stylus or the scroll wheel)
Some bugs fixed
Update 2:
Added an option to disable the switch functionality
Added the capabilty to open the option dialog directly from the today screen
Update 3:
Direct access to the menu with the action button (or scroll wheel) without menu gesture
Fixed bug in the highlight of the plugin
Update 4:
Fixed bugs in the management of option dialog
Update 5:
Show the last switch time
Update 6:
Fixed operator name redraw
@forum users; help me in setting the priority of the enancements; currently they:
. support for Stk adapter
. support for dialin adapter
. check sim (periodically verify that the right sim is active)
. automatic switch based on specific rules
...
If the tool is useful for you feel free to donate something

This is sweet! Thanks. Now just need to find a dual sim adapter that is compatible with 3G.
Plugin is brilliant. Ideal for me would be to include it in plugin existing for the Today. I do not understand of programming but I have found this in wiki:
Show Network Operator Name in today screen
Restoring Today Item: WiFi, BT and Phone Connection Status:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items]Create "Wireless" use Key
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:00000000
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
Enable clicking on the today plugin above to open Comm Manager
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\WrlsMgr]Create String Value "Redirect"
"Redirect"= "\Windows\CommManager.exe"
Pardon by my English. I am Spanish. Thanks.
not happy

Do you have a link to the dual-sim adapter you are using?

I really do not understand your question. Could you please explain it better? The plugin already shows his interface in the Today screen and can be configured in the standard way. Do you want the plugin show the operator name or some other information?

JPW, I have your same configuration in term of base software (except for Hermes, mine is an Hermes 200) and it works. Did you tried the plugin immediatly after the reset?
In order to understand what happened can you write details of the problem? when does the hermes hang? during installation, configuration, etc? What other software do you have?
Thanks and sorry for the problem.
Is it specific to Hermes somehow, or should it work on any WM5 device?
Can it be used with multi-SIM SIM cards (like 16-in-one), or it is somehow intended only for (some?) dual-SIM adapters?

It is not related to Hermes. It uses standard Windows Mobile APIs. I tested it on Hermes and WM6 (Black 2.0 and 2.5) but it should work on every devices with WM 2003 and up.
The basic plugin should also works for every multi sim card. The functionality to switch the active card is currently working only for power "on off" dual sim card (I'm developing a version that works also for digital dual sim holder).

Hello, Pelargonium
I enclose a photo to you with which I consider that he would be ideal. To integrate the DualSIm Plugin in the Wireless Plugin, since space is saved.
I have a SIMORE GOLD that works perfectly with the TYTN, although the change I have it to do with menu of own dualsim. The one of plugin does not work to me. I hope to help but that to bother, and again, pardon by my english.

I understand your requirement but the component that you mention (netui.dll) is not customizable. Sorry.
Regarding the sim switch functionality of my plugin, I'm developing a version that works also with digital adapter.

Hi, I think you're product is great, just what I've been looking for BUT... I'm afraid to say it doesn't quite work. I have an early dual sim adaptor (cut) that requires the phone to be turned off/on to switch. I'm running it on a Orange M600 (prophet) with Jesterz 2.20 rom. Your switcher switches the phone off OK and then back on... BUT it doesn't register on the network.. just gives me a "!" next to the little signal icon. It displays the right number for the sim and all just doesn't fully re-establish the signal. I have also loaded a WM5 version of WIVIT sim switcher (from this group) but as it doesn't allow me to define my own number it's no good. However, when I have WIVIT loaded and on screen, YOUR product works fine.
I would rather just use your product. Any clues on how I might be able to fix this?
Thanks
Dave.

@qdavhen, I tested the plugin only on Hermes with different WM6 Rom, because I don't have other devices. let me test it on the WM5 sdk emulator and I'll give you a feedback.
Thanks Pelargonium,
I've found that after running your program if I go into phone options and select "Find Network" then the phone starts again. I've been doing some digging around and *think* it might have something to do with needing to wait longer between switching off and then back on again... hope this helps.

Fixed and updated the first post. I've also added the name of the current operator. Please try it and give me a feedback.
Thanks
Pelargonium.
Pelargonium,
Works a treat! Thanks! A couple of small changes that would make this perfect... you have added the operator (eg. O2-UK - 123456789) I would suggest removing the minus sign AFTER the operator and just leave a space. Also rather than tapping and holding and then selecting "switch sim" is it possible to have it switch sim automatically when tapping and holding? These are just small things. Otherwise it is fantastic! Dave.
Hi Friends!
To bad - while waiting for the AP4 release - now I noticed that the internal display of my athena is broken (mechanical damage).
I'm not using the Athena any more (as phone), however I still want to use it as permanent online device (via wlan) at home (to check emails or web sites).
Does anyone know if I can update the ROM via external VGA output?
And does anybody know how much a screen replacement will cost?
Thanks!
Rudolf
I dont think, its possible. You cant send files to the VGA output
What your asking is is there anyway to upgrade, whilst outputing your display to a monitor.
I dont know if there is any settings, that keep the vga out on all the time, but even if there where you would still need to initially set it up without vga out on. so it depends what you can see on your screen if anything.
why do you need to output it at all.. once the new spl is done, you can flaash it... might be a problem setting up though.. but the flash requires no user input on the ppc itself

Hello, I had the same problem... I've been searching high and low without any luck... I decided to do it myself, here is what I did:
1: connect activesync
2: explore files on the device
3: go to \windows\
4: copy "Start Menu" folder (optional)
5: go into "Start Menu" and delete everything
6: copy TVOutSetting shortcut from \windows to \windows\Start Menu
7: restart device (hold power button for 5 sec (or wait for beep) then hit enter)
8:blindly, press "Start" aka windows button
9ress down arrow once since "Today" is still their, then press enter
10: press down arrow to turn on "TV out", and then press "ok" or "enter"
Voila, chances are you'll be in compsite or S-video mode, so try that or vga...
Hope it works for you, it worked for me.
Cheers,
Simon
Hello there,
I have a qeustion:
My HD2 with the software in my sig, sometimes wont respond when i try to unluck it, or sometimes i cant press the W on the onscreen keyboard, could it be that the place where the W is on the onscreen keyboard, is broken?
Or could it be something with the ROM/Radio?
It also happends that the screen doesnt function at all, also the sensor doesnt flip my screen, i have this witl almost all HD2 ROMS, just pick one WM or Android and it does this frequently.
But sometimes there is nothing wrong, i can easy unlock and also press the W again.
Any tips?
Thanks!
No one?
Seems no one knows how to help
Ill be flashing stock SPL and ROM and return it to the store.
I think it is the screen it self, the little part where the W key is doesnt register touch anymore. (if someone says this could not happen for example, that would help, cause i dont kow if only a "part" of a touchscreen can be broken).
apparently is definitely hardware issue.
Sent in to HTC yesterday. waiting to hear back. conveinient tracking system, too bad inconveinient manufacture
I have old HTC Tatto and touchscreen not working, I could replace with new digitizer but maybe problem is more complicated so it is not option.
Anyway I tried factory reset and except I lost all data nothing changed.
Some things I can do with psyhical buttons but can not enter text and passwords for thing like wi-fi..ect.
I got to idea to use it as wi-fi cam but I need idea how to activate google account and enter my wi-fi password in it.
If anyone has good purpose for it please feel free to contribute.
PS I have Entourage eDGe and it supports usb keyboard, any chance that HTC Tatto can do same? Maybe BT keyboard could work?
