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.

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?

o2 have just released the above. I've upgraded my XDAIIi to the latest version.
The only problem I'm getting is with Blackberry not connecting to their server. As it's past the helpdesks bedtime I'll give them a call in the morning.
Where you got this ROM?Can you share it !
here we go....
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft3.html
I am new to this web site. The upgrade instruction keeps reminding everyone that the upgrade file is ONLY FOR O2 sold in UK and Ireland.
I live in US, but I bought my O2 from Indonesia. Would I have problem if I upgrad my O2 ROM using the file? :?:
If you don't plan on using Blackberry, then you may as well use the following:
ftp://xda:[email protected] XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04.rar
It is just a previous ROM with the 1.04 radio instead of the 1.00 O2 insisted on using.
Have a look at this posting as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35280
looks like o2 are having major problems with 1.11.170 and blackberry. I've spent most of the morning on call back from o2 tech support trying to get the blackberry service re-initialised after flashing the ROM.
From their end, everytime it tries to send the service book to my XDAIIi it keeps getting errors and I can't get an IP address from the DHCP server.
As a test I've re-flashed the ROM to 1.11.169 and was able to re-initialise and send emails from the XDAIIi.
I have again re-flashed the ROM to 1.11.170 and have NOT been able to connect to the blackberry service.
looks like I'll be going back to 1.11.169 for the time being until o2 manage to sort out this problem.
Just had anaother conversation with o2 tech support and they are aware that there is a major problem with 1.11.170 and are likely to pull the software from the website until they have a fix. The have advised me to re-flash back to 1.11.169 and use the calendar work-around until they release another update.

If they want to get the software sorted why don't they give a copy of the Rom to users like us that may be happy to try it out to see if it works in the real world, rather then dropping software that doesn't work, looks like two in a row for them not gd at all.

I think that I was the first to report the problem this morning.
Seems that the problem is when you try to connect to their DHCP server to get an IP address, which it sends to your XDA but for some reason the XDA is not storing it and therefore the Blackberry server never gets a handshake to confirm your allocated IP address.
This then stops the service book being sent from blackberry to your XDA, hence no connection and no email.

Looks like the 1.11.170 ROM has been withdrawn by O2. All you can get is 1.11.169. No hardship for most of us as we don't use Blackberry which is the only reason for upgrading to 169 or beyond. My opinion is that the "stability issues" they keep fixing are because of the O2 crap anyway, I've removed it all and have no problems with my 2i.
If you don't use Blackberry, don't upgrade past either of the modified 162 ROM found on this site.
Merry Christmas all,
PUG.

o2 Tech Support just called me to confirm that there is a problem with the Radio Version in 1.11.170 and authetication with the RIM blackberry server. They have now escalated the issue back to HTC and RIM to sort out between themselves.
Happy Xmas.
I am at the point ready to upgrade, but I notice something:
The upgrade software shows that the upgrade will upgrade my XDA from
Device CE image version: 1.11.00
Device Extended image version: 1.11.923
Device Radio image: 1.00.00
to
Device CE image version: 1.11.00
Device Extended image version: 1.11.162
Device Radio image: 1.04.00
It seems that my "Device Extended Image version" is higher than the upgrad software. Does any one know about this?
The version number is lower because you have the aisan rom on your device and the 162 is the O2 version number. They will be as good as each other, they'll just have slightly different software installed. If anything, 162 is the one of newest ROMs available. If you're happy with the current extended ROM, just delete the ms_.nbf and the nk.nbf. This will allow you to update just the radio version to the latest 1.04.
Hope this helps.
Just checked the o2 site and it seems this upgrade is now available, not tried it yet but will tonight
hi, which site are you downloading from?
www.my-xda.com
Any news on whether it is worth upgrading to the .171 ROM? Seems as though the radio is back to 1.00?

Might be an anomoly but I tried the 171 ROM modified and my device has hard reset twice, with the original ROM the phone stopped working and needed a hard reset to sort it out, twice.
Think I'll keep to my 162 ROM. How's everyone else found it?
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft3.html
here's the direct link for 1.11.171 - just downloading and will let you know how I get on after discovering that 1.11.170 (blackberry)didn't work with radio version as supplied.
Hi!
When I have install it. It apeared the radio 1.100
So still old radio, not v1.104

that is correct. Radio 1.104 is not compatible with the Blackberry system. This is the main reason that ROM 1.11.170 was removed from the o2 website as it had upgraded the Radio version from 1.100 to 1.104.
Hi! I've just bought an O2XDAIIi. I just wonder which ROM version I should use to upgrade my XDA. Could anyone give me an advice?

I'm using Blackberry and have upgraded to the latest o2 ROM - 1.11.171. If you aren't using Blackberry, try using Pugs cooked version of 1.11.169.
Is there any change to Blackberry functionality on 71 over 69?
Won't be changing if there isn't.
I belive that if your using the o2email open and not the BES version you won;t lose your Calendar options.
We use BES so no need to change then - thanks
Well ROM version 1.11.171 seems to be as stable as 1.11.169 and I don't have to use the workaround to sync Outlook Calendar.
I wonder if o2 are going to release more XDA phones that can use Blackberry - I quiet fancy the o2 Atom but it doesn't list BB which is a shame.
171 ROM is the BT reliability resolved
Symbasean,
Stating that the 171 ROM is as stable as the 169 ROM is a little bit of a two edged sword for me.
When I applied the O2 ROM last October / November it trashed my bluetooth functionality, effectively making my Jabra 250V a large black ear ring and the XDA 11i an electronic chocolate tea pot, for use in a car.
Can you sense my frustration with O2, who offered me £10 off my next bill as compensation and then didn't give it to me.
I switched to one of PUG's home cooked ROMs and this has been 80% successful, but randomly fails to deliver the sound.
His version has been a saviour, but would the 171 be an improvement for the BT stability and reliability?
Sorry for the incredibly rambling first post. :?: :roll:
I upgraded to the new software last night and have noticed one small annoyance. I used to be able to to deactivate GPRS by clicking the connectivity icon in the title bar and tapping disconnect. Now the disconnect option isn't there for GPRS. Eventually I discovered that I could turn off GPRS by holding the end call button.

two points:-
1. please spell my name correctly.
2. "Well ROM version 1.11.171 seems" - note also the word, "Seems". I make no direct comparison on stablity, only that mine has not crashed - caveat empore......
Apologies
Symbaseian
Sorry for the mistake.
I shall try the ROM and see.
I have to agree caveat emptor is an appropriate warning with this particular device.
If it worked as well as it is should, straoight out of the box, it would be excellent.
But it does have some way to go, and without the likes of these forums, it would not happen.

I totally agree. When I first got one of these I couldn't use TT3 let alone TT5 without it locking up all the time if I used anything other than my old 128mb Compaq SD card, but having listened and learned on this forum and also on pocketgpsworld I now have a stable XDAIIi with blackberry.
It's taken a long time to get to where I'm fully happy with the device (except camera performance - but I very rarely use that anyway) often involving Tomtom tech support, o2 tech support and these forums. If you feel happy using Pugs ROM version without blackberry please go ahead, but for me that's not an option.
It's just a shame that we have had to co-develope to get a product that is finally starting to show everything that it first promised.....

I haven't tried it yet, still running 2.17 Summiter Custom ROM.
Please post your experience using this ROM.
i can't update yet since i'm at work
My "quick" experience thusfar:
OS Build 14928.2.2.0
IPL/SPL: 2.25
ROM 2.25.11.1 WWE
Radio/GSM 2.25.11
Ext. ROM 2.25.11.102
I haven't noticed much different with this build versus the 2.23 that summiter released late last week.
Note that it still has that USBSwitch program installed by default, so you will need to change it from Serial to RNDIS to have a reliable ActiveSync. Note that I think this is in one of the CAB files due to the fact that my phone synced before customization using RNDIS by default, but after customizations, I had to go to USBSwitch to revert back to RNDIS.
It is an AKU2.2 device and has the GetGood, Clearview PDF, and ExpressMail installed by default.
I can't tell whether or not it has A2DP as I don't use Bluetooth devices. Push Mail works well with my Exchange 2003 SP2 server.
(Summiter: If you read this, consider including the "Device Lock" application found in the development section of this forum)
*Email vibrate while sleeping bug is fixed...
*If you put the device to sleep, while plugged in through the USB cable, Windows drops the connection. Still Power Charges though.
*MediaNET connection not there. Has a generic connection with Cingular GPRS connection strings.
*WIFI cert enroller not working for personal certs. You can still do manually using PFX import utils
*Seems about as speedy as Summiter's 2.17 release.
Will report as more things come up.
WAP pages load quickly and the default settings for GPRS allow connection to GMAIL etc without any alterations.
Appears to be solid at this point.

It appears to, I know that I had used AWizard to Sim unlock my phone but now I tried a T-Mo sim and it didn't work! Just asked for the unlock code.
Thanks for upping this icema!
At first glance it appears to be the same as the aku2.2 (ROM ver 2.17.11.1) ROM, excpet that the radio stack is slightly different. The core OS and extended ROM are the same code-wise (only versioning numbers are changed). The bootloader code appears the same as well.
But, at least we have a full build with a more appropriately incremented build number.
I'll get crackin' on some stuff tonight.
I have intalled this but I can not find the cabs to add A2DP to it. Summiter what cab do you use in your builds? I looked on the FTP site and I can not find it. Want to use my headphones again.

Here you go,
I always unlock the Extended ROM and copy out every last file. Then I empty it. I figure if I can't build custom content then at least I can clean it out and prevent it from even trying to customize on hard reset.
is it worth going from summiters to this?
Hmmm, really want to upgrade. Only question is - how likely do you think it is that this will be the official Cingular release? Would hate to upgrade and then see official Cingular release in 2 weeks is slightly different.

Yeah, if vibe-on-email is important to you at this very moment. =)
There will be some customizations done shortly. (a2dp, cf2, themes, ringers, etc).
Speaking of themes, now that the date is back to being a single line, the themes included in previous ROMs look bad. (They had a darker background behind the 2-line date/time). Anyone have some suggestions for themes to add? Ideally, I'm looking for themes that will appeal to the widest audience.

I'm guessing, and only guessing, that since they've tightened this thing down with the connection settings change (got rid of the whole MediNET connection w/ proxy disaster) and removed the stray settings that are typically present on bare OEM devices (phone net select, phone TZ autoselect), it's pretty close to being a final release. Icema said that if this one passes regression testing it will be final, although I don't know his source for that info.
This ROM was built on 5/11, so I suspect it's been through testing since that time.
I did a windows update and now my wizard wont pair any bt devices and alot of crazy stuff is hapenning. I cant change my Today screen sometimes i get calls and sometimes i dont. I dont get any messages now.
that sounds like a classic M$ windows update to me.. i would say everything is working fine
If its true what you say about the update why did you even try it or it did it automaticaly. but shogunmark is right sound like microsoft. LOL
Update: Sorry i thought that it was a wm6 update but still thats m$ doing
Windows Update Concern
I connected to windowsupdate while I had WM6 installed. Was I the only one who worried that M$ would come and get me because I was connecting to the site with a not yet released rom?
im just trying things out
did u actually install an update from windows update or just did a check
people tried calling me today and the phone didn't even ring.
I tested this once by calling myself, I had to turn the phone from standby for it to ring. Very wierd.. I am confused because I really like crossbow but the radio on it sucks right now.
Not sure which version I should rollback to

Threre is no radio on the WWE crossbow that you installed. It still has the old radio that you had before the WM6 ROM install.
As far as I know, there isn't any updates available to WM6 at this time.
I have tried to check for updates a couple of times, but no available updates.
ABOUT THE WINDOWS MARKETPLACE: I mailed and asked for an demo-account.
I then got an answer (froma nice lady) that said that access to this demo account was strictly for the MS developmenet team. And she asked me to accept her appologies.
I then replied that i fully understood this, bearing in mind that thie WM6 ROM isn't released yet, and that im in possesion of a pirated WM6 ROM.
That didnt conscern her at all. She asked me what I thought of the ROM, and if I had any pro's and con's.
So were not able to use marketplace as of now. :-(

Do you know why she did not care, cus windows does not have a WM6 beta testing so the only way that it can work correct it to 'leak' it and let poeple like faria sort it out for them!!! Show where it can be made better! With out them windows would not be able to do anything!
Lol... ive thought the same thing for years now. Its funny how we all want windows products, but the first thing we do is tear them apart and tweak them. I think microsoft might let it leak out on purpose. This makes most of the blame not thier fault (the leak is like an alpha) and it lets ppl find bugs and fix problems in thier software that they can easily fix later. Faria and molski and the others are nothing more then unpaid microsoft employees (we should do something about the unpaid part )

I think its more like this.. We are able to see the potential in a decent product and work in our spare times to make it more functional despite some of the M$ bugs found along the way.. But we all work together as a community. If you want to donate i would consider donating to the board first, this is where we all come together to make things happen, there is alot of work that goes in to them besides the person who puts it out there
Update
It is microsofts policy not to collect any personal information when your device connects to windows update. You won't be caught but who knows.... They might launch an update to mess your phone up before release... As for the updates there arn't any it's still in development. I would tend to agree about the radio rom

Threre is no radio on the WWE crossbow that you installed. It still has the old radio that you had before the WM6 ROM install.

Then its a problem with crossbow, the phone doesn't turn on by itself when the caller hears it dial.
Can someone please help me? I am a total noob right now, I just got a Treo 750 which was supposed to be unlocked (i got that taken care of) but I want to update to WM6. my version is
treo750-1.13-cng
but I dont use cingular, I am currently on T-mobile. I dont want the lame xpress mail and crap from cingular or att, so which update should I use? I was wondering about the generic one, will that have everything i need to use it on a different carrier but just not have the cigular stuff? (instead of getting the att update). I see ROW, RWE, ect and I dont know what any of these versions mean or the differences. Can people help, thanks much appreciated.
come on, people are reading this so give me some thoughts. i was thinking of using the official ATT release, but would the ROW 2.23 release be better for me? or am i missing out on stuff by not using the ATT one. I just want unbranded crap basically.
I just got a 750 about two weeks ago. When I received it, it had the same firmware you've got now (1.13-CNG) and I am also on T-Mobile. I updated to the unbranded 2.23, see this link for instructions on 'tricking' the updater to work with your CNG phone:

You can also update from a MiniSD card; it is a bit less hassle but it won't show the new version number on your phone. (Plus I didn't have a MiniSD card )
Unbranded is definitely the way to go. No AT&T logos anywhere and no AT&T internet proxy. Also, the unbranded firmware includes the Windows Live app while AT&T has chosen to remove it. So far I really have no complaints with WM6 and this firmware version. I've been using the phone full time for a couple weeks and the only glitch I've hit was today I was in a building with no signal and the phone wouldn't re-acquire a signal when I left. I quick soft reset fixed it though.
There are a couple newer releases out, someone just posted the unbranded 2.27 release, but it has some bugs that were fixed in 2.23 and supposedly the radio version was older.
Also, I've seen some mention of a 2.30 release, but I haven't found it unbranded yet.
If you have any problems getting your T-Mobile internet or MMS settings done, shoot me a PM -- I spent a bit of time finding the proper settings already!
nope, didnt work, I dunno why. I still get the same error. Im not sure if its something wrong Im doing or just some registration error or whatever. I dont get why it fails everytime and tells me "I should be an administrator to run the update" pissing me off I WANT WM6 ALREADY.
You didn't mention any error in your original post(s)... I answered the questions you asked.
Are you running WinXP or Vista?
sorry yea i made 2 threads and did in the other. it wouldnt let me install, kept saying you should be the admin to update, even though i am the only user! but then i installed on vista and it works great =)
