hey guys, I talked to imate directly and they have advised new jasjar and kjam roms will be launched by 2nd wk of jan 06. these roms include msfp (messaging and security feature pack) for tcpip autd and remote device wipe.
Excellent, lets hope they stick to that release date
jim
any news on bluetooth 2.0 update?
No real confirmation, but the MSFP is part of AKU2 from MS which should also include the A2DProfile. That doesn't require BT 2, but is a nice addition.
then lets just hope to get it in the same date w/o delays.
what about this ?¿?
Read end jan/febr.
Read somewhere that it is delayed till end jan. begin febr. because update WM5 is still in Beta and not ready yet.
ok, thanks
Regards
According to the various webcasts that I've attended on the MSFP/AKU 2.0, it was released to carriers and OEMs around November of last year. It has been in their hands since that time,and there is already one OEM (Gigabyte) that has released a device with AKU 2.0 built in.
So, it is up to Imate to get it out on the devices now.

I've seen the first patch here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12908, but does anyone have Info on the announced second patch that should address the Headset Issue :?:
I am also eagerly waiting... it's really bad with my headset... I can have more than 3-4 feet distance between the devices... let's hope this is fixed soon.
Treo
I am now on my third XDA2s, and my BT headset works fine, As long as you hold the phone 2 inches from the earpiece thats stuck in my ear........ So i am also waiting for a proper solution
I did speak with O2 here in the UK, i explained i also have a PDA2K that has the same problems, but Imate have a patch ( dose not fix the headset tho) but as expected o2 Uk did not have a clue...
I look imate site every 3-4 hours... (risking my job...) waiting for the patch... Club imate support don't have any idea about release date
They don't know even if will be a patch or a new rom.... argh!!!!
Fixed it,pls see follows!

Can anyone oblige / test ?

Prelimanary test are good. I'm guessing the patch is exactly the same as the one posted for the Pda2k from Imate, it is build 3500. SO far no issue with my sony hbh-660 headset and no issues yet with my TomTom Navigator USA bluetooth either. So for now, I am very pleased with the results, but I am going to give it one full day, especially with the headset before I can completely be satisifed. Adios.

Extraction
Anyway to extract the files from this setup?
Good question. I know it's a setup.exe pretty much that kicks off the install process via active synch, then seems to place the temp files in Flash memory, thus requiring the soft reset. Not sure there is a way to capture the files being written to temp space, but I am sure there is someone on this forum that can do it
If you run the installation without connecting your XDA, you will find the cab file in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\Bluetooth headset upgrade patch for Xda IIs
Interesting that with the first imate posted bt patch the 3500 version which was withdrawn, one file showed build 3000 all others 3500. this O2 patch makes all file versions 3500 so is a final release and later than the imate patch.
Imate say they have a new final patch coming soon which will prob be the same as o2, since these all come from htc.
Patch seems good so far.
3500 Patch seems to be good
Downloaded the 3500 patch yesterday and installed in my i-mate PDA2k, certainly seems to have fixed the main BT headset problems (Sony Ericsson HBH-20). Thanks to those who take the time to post these things. A good Christmas present.
not so good. again scrasheesssss into the headset.
Waiting for another patch
hey this is the same old patch that was released by QTEK 3 weeks ago so whats new in it. I have checked both the patches they are both the same, not even a single file differs. But as always O2 is the last to deliver patches. It is very slow in providing updates, all other operators have provided new rom updates butO2 is still waitng dont now for what.
THE LAST TO DELIVER PATCHES????
Imate didn't release this patch for almost 4 days after O2 and before they had a 3000 build release. Tell the Tmobile MDA people, Siemens SX66 and all the CDMA versions of the phone with crippled bluetooth who have had no "official" update.
Great that Qtech first and early but O2 were second when all the rest are still waiting.
ONLY qtech has released a full upgrade rom. No others have.
Of course the patch will be the same, its not the operator like Qtech or Imate that makes these things, its HTC.
Patch Not Working in SX66
I dl'ed the patch into my SX66, and was hoping - no PRAYING - that it would help the BT issues..
My Jabra 250 sounds just the same..damnit!! (grin!)
Any other ideas, folks?
BTW, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Well, needless to sat after further testing of the O2 xdaiis patch, I am still having issues with my Sony headset. I am connected for 4 hours and then all of the sudden the pairing just drops and I have to reconnect the headset which is very frustrating, so it sems this latest patch has some issues. NOt sure what to do now. I have already sent O2 support several e-mails with just a standard canned response, which is total BS
The Imate patch is way way better
Well I have tried the XDA IIs patch and I must say it sucks a.. The Imate patch which is a lower bluetooth stack build is way better. With the O2 patch the XDA IIs still randomly turns on. Garbage!!! Come on O2 release a new rom with media player 10 and a bluetooth fix.
Michael :idea:
No problems here...Motorola 850 works PERFECT. The official BT patch works great...must be either your headset or 3rd party software
Where...
can I get the imate patch...and is it the whole rom or just hte BT stack> Many thanks;' perhaps THAT will work in my SX66 and my son's O2
Guest, I have two XDA II's with a Motorola 820 bluetooth headset, and with all native apps installed and on the O2 bluetooth patch release it turns on randomly. It does not with the I mate patch so, the O2 release is garbage. Thats why Imate pulled they same bluetooth stack build that O2 released. There is issues with it.
I have just heard from the Data Support team at O2 (I work in o2 Retail) that there will be an official ROM update released on 1st March which will solve the bluetooth problems and several other issues. Thought it would be of interest to a lot of you!
Fantastic - only thing annoying me right now is the constant drop out of my bluetooth headset whilst driving etc.....well, that and a strange lock up the other night
Upgrade of XDA II
I hope this will enable voice dial as well!!
As listed before my headsets I've brought in from China work great with the XDA II and XDAIIs, but it's always a little annoying to not have voice dial function.
The drop out on the XDAIIs I think you will find is something to do with the power save mode on the bluetooth radio. If you have power save on the radio is shut off and the headset disconnects, although the screen shows the bluetooth radio in operation.
Don't suppose you Source mentioned whether this will be the one to include WMP10 as well?
O2 Tech supp have confirmed to me that this will be in a future ROm update but wouldn't say when
Fingers crossed eh!
Stupidly didn't ask about WMP10... I'm at work again tomorrow so I will try to obtain a definitive list of the enhancements the new ROM will bring.
see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17366
WIFI
Does any one know if the new upgrade will fix the wifi stack? I have rarely been able to connect to wifi networks and looks like many people on this board have the same problems.
Thanks
I had some info from then a while ago, I got the impression that WMP10 would not be included until April time.
When this new rum comes out on Mar 1st, we should start a thread listing the bugs we find in it, and then ship it off to O2. There were rumours of some wifi fixes, but who knows. At the end of the day, 95% of it comes from HTC, so it will likely be much like the updates to the Imate, Qtek etc devices.

Does anyone know when Cingular or any other US carrier is supposed to release the new ROMs that support PUSH email?
cingular is said to be releasing it in the 2nd quarter of 06. the exact date is of course...unknown.
Well, cingular has usually SUCKED when it comes to supporting devices. They are only interested in selling new ones... and the marketing behind doing so. So I wouldent hold your breath. Do I sound bitter? :x
Later; Lew
The reason I ask is that my ISP is screwing me. I am having a problem getting DirectPush to work. And they are telling me that they will not support it until a US carrier releases a ROM to support it. What sucks even more is that 4smartphone works just great with PUSH but my other ISP wont even help.....
Does anyone know if any WM5 device by any US Carrier released DirectPush?

None yet, and Cingular has only commited to providing the AKU2 update for 2125/8125 "in 1H06", meaning sometime between now and June 30.
The HP 6900 *might* come out prior to then, which will have AKU preinstalled, but I don't know what carrier is picking up that device.
I'm suprised your ISP hasn't alredy isntalled Exchange SP2..it offers much more than just enabling push.

No they did upgrade to SP2.. but for some reason when I set up my 8125 it keeps pushing over to Always up to Date and not Direct Push

Just checking, since you didn't say, but you are using one of the AKU2 ROMs on your 8125, correct?
If so, something strange is afoot. Either your ISP really doesn't have SP2 on their front end servers, or they've gone and disabled push, which is enabled by deafult on SP2 install. I can't think of any reason to disable it, unless they plan to charge an additional fee for it or something.
Yes I updated to an AKU2 ROM, 2.16.9.1 to be exact....

How quickly things change.. A US carrier just released the AKU update. It was released by Sprint for their 6700.
It was just released and Sprint customers are having a heck of a time finding it online or finding stores that have received it. But it is officially available to Sprint business customers.

Now tell your ISP to get their ****e together. =)
Summit!!
Thanks your awesome... if only I could find something official on Sprints site.... all the links in that post were invalid....
@jocojr:
I'm betting the solution to your problem can be found in System Manager for your ISP's exchange server. They don't have the Direct Push checkbox checked in mobile settings. This checkbox is right under the one that enables SMS based AUTD 1.0.
I have found that I was unable to set up a direct push connection until I checked that. Once checked, I was unable to set up a SMS based connection btw.
Sleuth,
Thats what I think too, but without me seeing the settings its hard to know what they did..... But they swear everything is setup correctly.

Cingular has always been big on hype and short on follow through. Like lewcamino has said, I wouldn't hold my breath. It took them almost 5 months after the announced release date to get the 8125 out the door. Also look back to other false starts and half baked promises such as "blue"/"orange" network integration, Push to Talk, 3G, and various promised devices.
Personally I do not think they will put much energy behind DirectPush. IMHO, the bean counters probably figure all that data traffic will drag down their profits. They are content on selling overpriced text message packages, cheesey ringtones, and their new video service.
I am personally happy with the QTek ROM. In fact, my 8125 only had the official Cingular ROM for all of 20 minutes. That is how long it took for me to install ActiveSync and install the QTek Beta ROM. Last week I upgraded to the official AKU2 package. So far everything works perfectly.
I've also upgraded my 8125 to the K-Jam AKU 2.0 upgrade. The radio stack has worked much better than the stock rom as well. I think cingular will get around to providing the upgrade, as Sprint has recently done for their PPC-6700/HTC Apache but it might not be until early summer. Why wait for Cingular when you can use it now?
Just a quote:
The update is designed to address a long-standing complaint some users have had where system resources become occupied with too many simultaneous tasks and certain audio alerts and notifcations are muted.
Palm also states that a residual effect of the bug is that the camera/camcorder function of the 750 can also cease to function.
The .cab file is a ~60k download and can be found on Palm's support site. Please note that a miniSD formatted in the FAT32 file system is required for loading the update. The update is also only for AT&T and Cingular-branded version of the 750, so this update is not applicable to European 750 or 750v Treos.
It was said that the Treo 750 (the unlocked version) doesn't need this update. But it suffers from nearly similar problem - when the battery level reaches 20% or little less, the audio system is muted.
I asked the Palm support for an update for unlocked Treo. It is not available. But he said that their engineering works on solving this and other problems and there will be an upgrade very soon (but no dates - Palm, you know...)...
It does sounds odd to me to release this patch if the WM6 release is to be release soon... does that mean that we might have to wait longer for the WM6 release???

No, but there ARE people which don't want to update to WM6. I can't wait to get WM6 though ;-)
I can't wait for WM6 also, this is the only reason I didn't switch my 750v with a Trinity yet.
Concerning this patch, I hardly believe that at this level of development there are many differences. But Palm must have had his reasons not to create a general patch
I'd rather have a fix for the SD card problems. Sure be nice to utilize my 2gb memory card.
