I have a PDA2k and have several problems with it. Obviously at this point I've lost any hope that Imate will come up with a new ROM to fix these issues so now I am looking at "cooking" my own ROM for my phone. I am a newbie when it comes to this so I am looking for a little help here to guide me on what to do. I apologize if any of this has been asked already.
Anyway, here are my details
PDA2K
Rom: 1.22.00 WWE
Radio: 1.06.00
ExtRom: 1.22.162 WWE
Bluetooth: 3900, which has caused more problems than it has solved for me
Issues:
1. Bluetooth - When I add a headset to my device, and then have bluetooth OFF, and I am using the phone itself to talk, about 50% of the time if the phone rings I can't hear the other person but they can hear me. Basically the phone tries to use the bluetooth headset even though I have it off. The only way I can make this not happen is to delete the bluetooth headset from my devices in bluetooth manager, and the problem goes away. Of course this pretty makes bluetooth useless on my phone. Now that I have installed the 3900 stack, I am getting other errors when I trying to go to bluetooth manager at times, as well as other programs. Probably should re-install old bluetooth stack at some point.
2. WiFi - Works fine most of the time, though about 1 out of every 5 times when I try to turn it it on it shuts off GPRS but never turns on Wifi and just sits there.
Forgot to mention I am with T-Mobile in US if that matters.
So with this information can anyone assist me with what ROM/files/etc. I should install on this phone so it will function better? I am technically capable, but have no experience as "cooking" this device so with a little help I should be able to do this. Thanks in advance for your help!!
Ehhh, have you really looked around on this forum? :roll:
Anyway, follow the link in my signature, all the info you are seeking is there.
sorry about that, I will read, read, read.
May I suggest a topic were we all put the things that does not work on our devices and, as a matter of resuming, the answers with links to other topics?
Maybe it would be smarter to collaborate at the end in a Wiki page with those annoyances, and put them inside the FAQ. I can do that. Please give me your oppinion.
Maybe it would be even smarter to do a Forum only to talk about updating the wiki.
(Mabye I'm beeing to much pissed of :twisted: )
The main problems I'm having right now are (WM5 only):
- Suggest words (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32608)
- Bluetooth connection problems; desconection, etc (can not find a solution on the posts)
- AD2P (not possible at the moment. Microsoft will release a patch on Q1-2006 hopefully),
- Wireless connection problems,
- Video playing problems,
- Slow phone answering
Please collaborate on giving me links to solutions to those problems if they exists..
Sorry if some of those problems are on the forums or the Wiki, but I can't find a definitive solution to any of them so I want to collaborate on doing a better Wiki at once.
Thanks to all who make possible that we enjoy our devices more than we were 8)
No more reason that to make this devices more enjoyable and friendly for us all (at the end they were a little expensive huh?)
Thanks for reading.
Must admit to being suprised not to find a thread about this. Apparently this is possible with the Kaiser, but has anyone released a CAB to activate it yet?
(While I'm at it a VoIP Dial Plan wizard is also a sorely missed feature from all WM6 devices - wink wink )
Anyone?
Any news on this.... I'm very interested!
Lookat this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348000&highlight=VoIP
As I understood it's not possible to use VoIP with the front speaker, only rear speaker or headset.
Greetz,
Hans Olo
EDIT: In the last posts of the linked thread it's mentioned that it will work with one of dutty's ROMs...
The way I read it that thread says the opposite - it says it is working in the Kaiser. I also read elsewhere that the Kaiser hardware will allow it, whilst older phones like the Wizard would not.
I have now pledged money to the first developer to fix it:

Have you still got your money? (Im hoping that someone has provided the goods)
Ifso, please let me know!
Subscribe to the other thread to find out when someone delivers the fix.
I read a lot of posts... regarding Microsoft bad choices.
So they removed Modem Link option and there is no way other than Internet Sharing?
Any update?

chef shogunmark on his rom death 4 is the only oe who has been able to get wmodem program to work.
Wonder how long this post will last. It has that circuit city smell.
Closing Soon!
It always winds me up when people just reply to threads with SEARCH, however in this case I have to agree with them.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473875&highlight=modem
There are MANY threads about using the Kaiser as a Modem, and it does work. However you need to install ModemLink or cook it into the ROM on your Kaiser and get the HTC Modem drivers installed on your PC.
But I have to say it again, just use the SEARCH function..........
Andy
well it's not just searching it's also that the exact same topic has a new thread going on. So it's a redundant redundant thread.
I bought this phone after careful research. I found out that the Voice Command could be downloaded. Then I found out that it might not work. Then I found out if could if I just had the right CAB. Then I found my way here. Now I have read and read for the last two weeks when ever possible and some times for over 8 hours. Here is where I am and I would love some help. I am up against a time frame that is un-movable at this point. Here I am copying and pasting:
I have read a ton of stuff and what I finally have come to is that the CAB to operate and download the BTAG is available and I found it. It is with, this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588882 I just don't know if I have to do a hard SPL or a Soft and or if I do one where to find the directions. I have read a ton of directions but it is not clear if they are necessary for this CAB and the CAB I believe is with Windows 6.5. I have 6.1. So if anyone can answer my questions it would be really wonderful....
should be closed by me for being duplicate...but I will leave it for this time so you can get your phone in gear, but in the future pls refrain from double posting/redundant thread opening, thx
I will also move the thread to general, it is not dev related
I already posted in backup thread, to add info on your h-spl question:
for cabs you don't need h-spl, that's only required for stock roms
so if this cab is only working on 6.5 you would need h-spl to get a 6.5 custom rom on your phone, but only for that
best
I appreciate your leaving it for me. You are obviously not used to working with newer people though. I posted the cab link so that it could be seen in order to ask the question. I am also packing, washing clothes, have my other phone listed on eBay, getting things ready for my garage sale, trying to be quiet while my boyfriend sleeps, feeding the dogs, trying not to upset them.....
In between that read any responses so that I know how to answer the offer on my other phone that I have listed on eBay. Download a backup for the Xperia so that I can load the CAB and if it doesn't work I can restore the backup....
Basically, I am trying to do a lot of things at once. That is why I am trying to cover everything in my posts. I have very limited time.
So, again thanks, I am still unclear as to whether or not this cab that is 6.5 or at least that is the ROM that it is in. I think, I am not very experienced in this.... ergo the link to his info. Back to what I said, I still am not clear on if it will work or I have wasted even more time??
I'm used to, nearly daily, but I don't like them posting all over the forum, especially not doing duplicates or starting new threads for anything
I understand your need but still: there are rules and they apply to everyone here, independent of them being in a hurry or not, having to do a lot of other things in parallel or not,...
I'm sure you noticed and read them during your research here, so pls abide by them
I am not quite sure what your post is even about - too much info all piled and mixed together. If you want an answer, you need to ask a question properly. So what is it that you need to know?
If any .CABs don't work, they can be uninstalled, no need to back up, restore and/or flash the entire phone just to get rid of the unworking .CABs
As far as Voice Command is concerned, I have it running on my X1 and it should run regardless of the ROM you have. I tried versions 1.6.0, 1.6.2 etc - all worked fine. The only difficulty is mapping the buttons with X1. I would recommend mapping left soft key, simply because I have the necessary functions on the screen, so didn't need a soft key to repeat the same, making the key reduntant and available for MS VC.
As far as ROM flashing is concerned, there is an excellent guide for flashing, just look for recommended stickies in ROM Development, but first it feels you are not really up to speed with the terminology - CABs, ROMs etc.
Mod, actually when I have so much to do, even though I read a lot of stuff I have not really completely become familiar with this site. If I had read that I certainly would not have posted it twice. That is why I did not PM the OP of the ROM that I have been referring to. Because what I did read was that no body wanted a lot of questions asked without someone reading.
As to the person who posted about my lingo. Thanks for your comments. I tried finding the folder for the cab on my phone. It is a new phone. Could not find it. Not sure what app it is in. I am familiar with my old phone. This is the 2nd of this one I have had to order now and the first one had so much wrong with it. I spent about a week alone just figuring out that that phone was definitely a lemon. The seller on eBay was not being truthful to me about it. That is a question I asked just recently.
.CABs are small installable programs, in order to have them on your phone, they need to be placed there by you, either to the phone itself or to the storage card, then you can install the program by clicking on the .CAB. There is no folder for the .CAB or app it can be in if you didn't have it placed there to begin with. Again, as I suspect, you are not quite familiar with terminology, you are using the right terms but in the wrong context somehow.
Not sure what you were looking for and not finding on your phone. Again, your descriptions make no sense. Just because you can't find the .CAB you never placed on the phone, doesn't make a phone a lemon, rather you having no idea how to use a phone or how to install anything on it in order for you to be able to use it.
No, I know that does not make a phone a lemon. It's a really long story. Just wanted to thank you for coming back and leaving me a more detailed answer. I am not stupid, I just have way too much too do and limited time so it is a combination of that and not enough sleep and trying to move internationally in 3 days. Thanks again!
Okay, I got it on my phone. But I can't get the bluetooth heaset to work. I read in many different places about assigning a button. I did that. I also say about doing a soft reset. I did that. I don't want to do either of those again for fear that I will loose everything I have at this point. Pleae anyone.....
You need to go to settings, open Voice Command and tick the appropriate option to use bluetooth with it.
Unless, of course, you are talking about general bluetooth connection. In which case i suggest you get settled, give yourself time and have a good read of the instruction booklet, section discussing bluetooth connection.
There are a whole bunch of choices. I am using a plantronics PRO and I saw the information about A2DP. So I tried that and it did not work....

what didn't work, your headset or A2DP? A2DP is a stereo format for stereo headsets and headphones. Is your headset stereo?
