Hi,
I just got my XDA IIi and have no idea what I am doing re: updating it.
Basically, I am happy with everything currently with the phone except the bluetooth stuff.
My bluetooth headset picks up a lot of static and there is no way that it has a 30 foot range. I have the Plantonics 640 (if that makes any difference)
I have read that I can update my ROM on my phone which will help the bluetooth reception. I can't figure out which on to download, and how to install. I downloaded an update from O2 but I get this country error code.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks, I saw that post already. Which one should I download? Will it help with my bluetooth reception or is it just my headset
thanks

HI All,
I've had my O2 XDA iis now for about 2 months and i'm having a few problems with the Bluetooth on the device.
I'm currently running 1.12.62.wwe
and version 1.0.0 Build 1900 of Bt-PPC/PE
Does anyone know if there is software upgrade to fix the Bluetooth connectivity problems, and when bluetooth is activited it kees turning my screen on and scanning.
Any help would be appreciated.
Software Ugrade
By the way does anyone know if O2 Uk have a site where updates can get downloaded or if there is a telephone number i can contact to receive software udates - regular support don't seem to be very helpful.
Cheers
XDA2s BT Connectivity issues (Launch build) how to upgrade
Like another post today, I too have bluetooth connectivity issues with initial build rom 1.12.62.wwe extROM 1.12.178 WWE Radio 1.02.00
I can only get headset profile to connect 1st time after HARD reboot, NMEA GPS bluetooth is not a problem (Both from Parrot CK3300 car kit)
Ideally I would also like to pipe the XDA audio from SATNAV app (tomtom) to the CK3300 over the car speakers too (Like headset profile) ???
Anybody able to point me in the right direction please?
I see other posts giving BT updates, which I have downloaded, but am unsure how to apply these... Is there a "noddy" guide to upgrading the XDA2s (This example is unlocked running on T-Mobile ond Orange without GPRS access), and how do I get later ROM versions etc.
Thanks, BID

Do a search for O2 Asia XDAIIs Bluetooth patch - there's one there that might help you.
As far as O2 support goes - www.02.co.uk/xda - however there is NOTHING in the way of updated files for the XDA IIs, there are some for the XDA II but please be aware that these are NOT compatible.
See the thread in the Blue Angel forum regarding Finally getting a response from O2.

Hi
I Have had my PDA2K for nearly a year and I have to say it has been the most unreliable phone I have ever owned.
I have updated it with all the latest ROMs and STILL I get calls where th e other end cannot hear me, where I have to reboot because it runs out of some memory area and cannot enable Bluetooth, it crashes.
It won't reconnect to GPRS after a voice call, poor bluetooth reception, people complaining they can hear funny noises when I am on bluetooth need I go on?
I was thinking of getting the XDAIIi and using it on the Vodafone network but what I need to know is am I trading one problematic phone for another?
Once I am off the O2 network how do I get ROM upgrades what are the gotcha's that are going to get me?
THis may have been asked before but I could not see and any help would be gratefully accepted.
Robin
Robin,
XDA 2i is not much different than what you have, it just has an enhanced processor and is WIFI enabled, Thats all. It also depends upon the hardware, most of the people get lucky with good ones and few of them unlucky. but in the end of the day, the Key to keep these kind of phones clean and dont stuff too many softwares into it, if kept in original form they could do wonders too.
All the best
Regards
Kunal
Re: Is the XDA IIi really any more reliable than the PDA2K??

These are known issues with the Blue Angel. Carrier Devices is working on these issues now. I have no idea when they will be issuing an update. I can try my CD Contacts, but they are notorious for not answering e-mail...
Hi Chris thanks for the response.
So no real difference between IIs and IIi in reliability terms?
I don't suppose you know if the dock and USB cables are interchangeable between the IIs and IIi?
Robin
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.
I have tried searching everywhere but i cannot find anyone with a similar problem.
I have an o2 XDA 2s which so far has been the best phone PDA i have used.
However, I have one small problem sometimes which happens about once in every ten calls i answer or dial, I cant hear anything the person on the other end is saying and they cant hear me too. However, I am able to make/recieve calls as normal if i do a soft reset which takes about 2 mins, rather irritating. Has anyone had a similar experience? Its just so fustrating when the phone is such a superb phone that this rather small problem happens.
Please can someone advise me on what the best thing to do is, I have tried a hard reset but this has not solved anythinga and the problem remains.
Should i try upgrade using the upgrades provided for the XDA 2S on the o2 site? i understand this flashes the ROM or something. Is this easy to do and is there a chance of doing worse damage when flashing? also my XDA which is an O2 phone is unlocked onto all networks, i.e. orange, tmobile, vodafone, does this mean if i flash the rom that i will lose the unlocked networks and be stuck on O2? I would be very grateful if someone could advise a newby as to how i could rectify this problem on what otherwise is a superb phone.
Thanks
riaz
I use 2 Blue Angels with 2 ROMs 2 versions at the same time,one is WM2003 radio 1.13 and the other is WM5 radio 1.15.Both face the same problems as yours.
After I uninstalled O2 Active user interface from both Blue Angels,that problem was fixed.
If you have O2 Active user interface installed,remove it and see if it is fixed or not.
:wink:
I've had the same issue on my Orange M2000. Apparently it's bluetooth related and a couple of ROM updates do actually improve it.
Re: XDA 2s
thanks for your response, how do i find if i have O2 Active user interface on my phone? or whether it is installed on my phone? and how do i remove it?
Im sorry i am a newbie so all this is new to me, but where theres a will theres a way!
Thanks
I don't think it's anything to do with the O2 software; the same problem affects Orange devices. Try updating with the official updates, if that doesn't work search the forum for "silent call" and you will hopefully find someone discussing which ROMs are the best for this issue.

1) What firmware are you using.
2) Do you use bluetooth or wired headset
2) Why is this so URGENT sounds like you've had the problem for a while.
mic/speaker
I permanently keep my bluetooth on which so far is working...
I have an XDA 2s
rom version 1.40.00WWe
Radio Version 1.15.00
I have not flashed or hard reset my phone asi thought it may make things worse!
Update with the O2 D/L...
As you have XDA IIs, and are on O2 why not update with the official update from O2? It'll upgrade your ROM and fix a couple of known issues with the PDA... I used this 'new' ROM for some time before flashing to WM5, and it worked flawlessy. even with the O2 Active installed (which is bloatware anyway!)...
You can find it here
Or you could flash with a base ROM and use a Cooked Ext ROM to get the apps you want, or take the plunge and get WM5!! It's all in the Wiki, and quite simple if you read a little
