Hi, this is my first time posting here. I recently got my Imate pda2k after suffering through hp 6315. Anyways the first thing I did was upgrade the OS to windows mobile 2005. I installed all the patches and everything (assuming the stuff on wikipedia is all up to date). I have been very happy with the imate and LOVE wm 05.
Now to my problem, I haven't tried wifi yet but bluetooth hasn't been working for me At all. I've heard that people have had problems with it dropping after going into standby and what not, but my problem is that I can't even use it at all. I'm using the Tekkeon Eztalker mini bluetooth, and it worked well with the hp 6315. Anyways the device recognizes and finds the bluetooth earpiece but I haven't been able to use it at all. It's like the device recognizes it but it doesn't set it. Please help me out, maybe its something basic that I'm not doing. Tell me step by step how to set up the bluetooth just in case. I'm out of ideas.
Thank you.
oh and a side note : at this point how would you rate WM 2005 in comparison to the latest patches by imate? Which do you guys prefer?
thank you

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.
Hi, I´m new heres. I have search trought the board, but not answer found.
I had no problems to connect my old Nokia 6600 phone to the integrated handsfree of my Ford Focus car.
Now, with my Qtek 9090, I can´t associate them using bluetooth.
I´ve tried with the 1.22 rom version (with some patches), and with the 1.4 rom version, and nothing happens, always get an error after typing the "0000" password.
If I try to discover the services of my Ford, the 9090 sais that no services are available.
What´s happening? What upgrade must I apply to my 9090?
Any suggestion will be great.
Thank you very much.
I had similar problem with SE HCB-700 car kit. I upgraded to WM2005 and didn't have any problems since.
And does the WM 5.0 works fine with the 9090? Not speed difference betwen 2003 SE?
Isn´t any other solution?
Solved with the OEM_ESN_124_011.sa.CAB upgrade.
is this patch spanish, what will happen if I put it on an english phone?

The latest WM5 version's speed is really close to WM2003SE's. You might want to give it a try yourself.
Howdy all!
Just found the forum via a Google search and was wondering if anyone can help - MANY apologies if this problem has been posted elsewhere (im a newbie here so please be gentle!), but ive just had a look but couldnt find anything......so here goes...
I've just got myself a XDA 2i today and having active sync'ed Tom Tom 5.1 to it i've come across a "program may not run correctly as its set up for older software" message. After running TT anyway it does indeed start, but cant seem to connect my wireless GPS receiver to it, and im just worried (having read elsewhere here) it could well freeze up in use if i perserve with it. Anyone have any advice?? Please??
I have a XDA 2 and my Tom Tom 5 runs perfect on it.........but am now left considering selling this new 2i on eBay (instead of the other one i'd intended) as i just want something that works. Can anyone help? Im just looking for some simple advice..........id REALLY appreciate it
Thanks in anticipation ............
Ant
Ps, I guess my main issue is just advice whether i should perservere with the XDA 2i (i just want Tom Tom to work!) - or sell and just stick with the XDA 2 that 'seems' to be less problematic. Im soooo desperate.........help!
Upgrade to 5.21
I'm not familiar with the Alpine but one thing that you should be doing for sure is to install the upgrade to 5.21.
Hope this helps!
Connect Tom tom Wireless Bluetooth GPS
Hello
I had TomTom installed in my Qtek 2020, and it worked.
I had a problem at first. I wasn´t able to connect with my wireless Bluetooth Gps, but then i set up the connection by setting it as "other NMEA cable GPS", strange, but it worked. I never could connect it as a "Generic Bluetooth Gps". I have a Pretec Gps Mini
I hope it works
Have you made sure "Receive all incoming beams" is NOT ticked in the settings - connections - Beam - menu? that is the normal culprit that we all forget!!!
Thanks SO much for the help guys....the 'incoming beams' thing did the trick......and it now recognizes TT5. THANKYOU!! Here's hoping it doesnt freeze up on me....! :?
With regards to the updated XDA2i not being compatiable with 'the older software im trying to run' would anyone recommend getting rid of it and sticking with the XDA2? The 2i is certainly the business with wi-fi, etc....but having uploaded a Commodore 64 emulator from Clickgamer (and having the same message pop up) i just dont know if im going to run into any other issues with this newer version of Windows its running. Any help would be really appreciated....thanks again :wink:
I would not worry about that pop up, it does it with loads of programmes, my 2i is very stable with tt5.2, even when using the phone via a BT headset and I have other programmes running in the background - the choice is SD card is more critical - Transcend 80x's seem to be the most stable. :lol:
Excellent...thanks for the advice!
Btw, just noticed the 'radio' thing in your signature......is it part of a download for the xda? Any other websites you'd recommend? My 2i is brand new out of the box and needing some cool gadgets put onto it! 8)
Thanks (again!) for all the help :wink:
Theres some good stuff on this site pdagold
It is freeware as well.
As for the Radio, I, along with many others have upgraded to Pugs rom, this seems to be the most stable one around, you can get it from the FTP part of this site, then just follow the instructions to reflash your rom.
a MASSIVE thanks for this.........sorry to be such a newbie, the advice here has been fantastic. Thanks alot!! :!:
i recommend pugz rom
i was using the o2 rom with tomtom 5.1 and and i kept loosing connection also had bluetooth issues, once installing the cooked rom, i've not experienced any problems
damned tt5.21
the problem is that I'm trying, at least, to let the O2 2i working with tomtom5.21 and fortuna clip-on gps receiver...
I read a lot of posts, so my beam settings are ok...
seems that tt5.21 don't want to communicate with the gps.
In fact the gps fixes (red light), but tt5.21 don't want to see it. It continue to say "no gps receiver", "signal lost from..." or, in the configuration, "Gps signal not good (or something else, I'm translating from italian)", and the small circle on the left up corner rolls, rolls, rolls...
so has any ideas? I'm not sleeping since 4 dayz....
tnx for all
pugz rom?
and where can I dl it? can so plz post me a link? tnx
*ant if you have problems with tomtom locking up swap sd card for a mmc card I was having problems with mine have had no lock ups since I changed to mmc

Hi,
I'm going to buy an xda mini s after seeing my mates, but it would not work with my vauxhall factory-fit carkit, not only did it not share the phonebook over bluetooth like my Nokia 6280 but it also kept disconnecting after about 20 seconds even if you weren't making a call.
From reading this forum i've gathered that the AKU that is out for Windows Mobile 5 will sort the phonebook sharing and possibly sort out the connection issue as well but what I haven't gathered is which rom's do what. I'm not going to ask which rom is best as I can see it's not as simple as that, but if someone could suggest a few roms that might be suitable for an uk o2 sim card and will have the aku. I'm not fussed about it having extra software in, i only want it to work with my carkit and do push mail with exchange 2003 sp2.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated, I have made the effort to read the forums, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the amount of information !!
Cheers
Andy
hi, ive got a bluetooth car kit and dont have no probs, mine doesnt have the capability to share the phone book but i havent had any connection issues. ive flashed the Mr.Clean ROM to my T-mobile UK MDA and seems to be good. it has push e-mail and AKU2. been using it for a few weeks and seems fine. hope this helps a little.
Hi
I havent performed any upgrades to my XDA2i (official or otherwise) for at least 3 years - are there any upgrades I should consider?
Here is my Device Info
ROM Version : 1.11.00 WWE
ROM Date : 01/27/05
Radio Version : 1.00.00
Protocol Version : 1337.39
ExtROM Version : [THIS IS BLANK]
Model Number : PH10C
Also, I am unable to connect to WiFi with my XDAIIi
The device finds wifi signals and sometimes will make a connection - but when I try and open a webpage I get a screen showing "IIS7" and nothing else.
Here are my settings for WiFi :
Network Card Connects to tiacxwin Campatible Wireless Ethernet (for both The Internet and Work).
Power Save slider is set for Best Performance.
Thanks for any help and advice !!!
Paul
I am in a similar position Paul.
I have been given a 02 XDAll by my company to use for recording surveys.
Its bog standard like yours.
I'd really like to upgrade it but the problem is there is almost too much written about it on these forums .Most of it is so old and out of date that all the links are broken. Its hard work trawling through it.
What is needed is a simple basic upgrading overview listing all the options but I suppose everyone has moved on to more recent PDA's and are no longer interested in these
I've posted a similar request in the Himilayer section .Maybe we can share what we find
Nick
Nick, do you have a Himalaya or an Alpine? PH10B or PH10C?
The Alpine is stuck on WM2003, perfectly good for its task just not upgradeable to WM5 or WM6.
As for customising it realy depends what you are looking for.
Hi DeeDee thank you for responding. I feel guilty hyjacking Paul's thread.
Mine is a Himalaya 10B
with following spec
02 XDAll
2Gb SD card
Rom 1.72.00WWE
Date03/15/04
Radio 1.17.04
ext Rom 1.72.18.1
Ram 128Mb
Model PH10B
I just wanted to improve the Active page if its possible .I cannot read the tiny text so large button icons like the Diamond would be useful
I cannot set the Internet access up either ? have tried for hours.
I have a Netgear Wireless Modem router DG834G but neither the manual or quick guide explain how to set up the XDA .
I have spent several days trawling this site and the net.
Any help appreciated thank you
Nick,
No problem joining in - if we can get the WiFi problem sorted I would be more than happy.
DeeDee,
Should my ExtROM Version be completely blank?
Thanks
Paul
Hi Paul
you're up early !
I have used WM5 on an XDA Mini S (Wizard) a couple of years ago. I imagine that most of the current software and apps are written for WM5 orWM6 so it will mean I'll need to upgrade to WM6. Presume that means flashing the Rom which judging by the number of disasters on this forum is not something I'd do lightly.
Particularly as there are virtually no answers to requests for help.
I found a statement last night that basically says unless you are a software developer you arn't welcome on this forum which probably explains the lack of help.
Yours has the 128 Rom as apposed to my 64Mb which is a big advantage. I have gone off the idea of buying a Himalaya or an Alpine as they are too antiquated really which is a shame as I love the build quality and screen size.
I'm going to look for something a bit more contemporary I think . In the mean time I'll enjoy using the works XDA ll
Hi
Flashing the Himalaya to WM5 or WM6 is painless and it has to be said slightly addictive, you will try many ROMs until you find one you like. Think I have tried most of the ROMs for the Himalaya.
The lack of help has NOTHING to do with not being a developer, i'm not one and have had lots of help. The problem is probably due to the lack of people using these PPCs. i have to confess my Himalaya is purely there as something to muck about with, work didn't want it any more. i have a Trinity as primary PPC phone and an Alpine with an application that doesn't work on WM5.
You won't get your Himalaya to connect to your WiFi as it doesn't do WiFi without an add on card.
DeeDee,
Should my (Alpine) ExtROM Version be completely blank?
Thanks
Paul
Hi Paul
Can't remember and my Alpine is at home, but i don't think so.

Thankyou DeeDee I appreciate you taking the trouble to answer silly questions by a noob.
I have downloaded and printed out a 140 page manual and there was nothing clear about connecting to wi-fi
If I have to carry this Hima around with me all day I might as well have it working as well as it can.I had intended to purchase a 3g Iphone for myself but now I'm not so sure I might buy a HTC instead if I can find one with 3.5" screen and wi-fi and a reasonable interface like touchflo
Nick
i have to say the smaller screen on my Trinity is perfectly adequate and that the larger form factor of the Alpine/Himalaya means you need a headset/handsfree kit to really use it as a phone.
It's also not pocketable, which my Trinity is, just.
If you can find a decent mobile shop and have a touchy feely sesion with as many as you can.
thanks DeeDee thats excellent advice. Photos never give a good indication of size and ease of use . The size is a bind like you say its heavy and too big for a shirt pocket but it is easier for me to work with using reading glasses.
I got an 02 XDA mini S when they first came out. I found the screen too small and fiddly and it stayed in the box unused for 18 months when I sold it on ebay for nothing so I have learnt my lesson.
DeeDee may I just ask one other question please. I have trawled through the wiki and various other sources but I still haven'y founf an answer to my initial question on the Himalaya board.
Q1 How do you install a new app on the Hima or Alpine ?
Q2. where does it get installed to ?
Today we lost the special survey App again Grrrrrrrrrrrv because the flippin battery went flat.
My boss is hopping mad and blames me !....I blame IT cos they installed it.
There must be somewhere we can install an App to that is non volatile and is not lost every time the battery goes flat.
Presumably the same place that WM2003 is installed ? How is it done ?
To install an app either:
1 - use Active Sync to install it if necessary
2 - if the install is a CAB file copy it to a memory card and then click it on the PPC to run the install.
As for the where it installs, when you run the installer it may ask where you wish to install, either Device/Storage Card. Make sure both batteries are charging. In all honesty it's not your fault that the end users aren't charging their Alpine on a regular basis.
