I read on another post that the qtek 2170702 rom is the most up to date for the wizard.
I previously had the KJAM 216901 rom...
has anyone already made this change and if so seen any additional benefits....
so far i see that i have 43mb of free storage memory - and the menus are quick ( but both of these things will be due to me flashing the phone and everything being wiped)
so the question is - do i keep the qtek rom or revert back to the KJAM one?
well one good thing ive found so far is that it brings back that battery icon in the bottom right.... much better than the one i've seen on the top right of the screen...
so far so good!! :wink:
well i found that i didnt like the "feel" of the QTEK rom after all.. so back i go to the IMATe one... lol

Hi i am new to this site so hello peeps...
Anyway i have had my qtek 2020i for about 3 months now and apart from the odd reset (that i have done) its been a useful tool.
Now the other morning it decided to have a freak out and the start menus locked up. I tried to do another reset but nothinge changed..
Now my dilemma is....i performed a hard reset and now the screen will not align...it asks me to tap to set up my device and i start tapping the little crosses but it will not work..i seem to be tapping the crosses for ever with no luck. Can anybody help?
thanks in advance.
Sounds like "Take it back to the shop" time to me.
Something far wrong mate.

spot on simple logic i suppose cheers geez
hehe, you could try a rom update or reflash, might be a problem with the rom
I got the new unit it was working fine......then i restored the backup that my last phone took before it went away and guess what....the problem returned :evil: .
Anyway i reflashed the rom with the qtek one and its sorted. :lol:
What is the best rom in your eyes for the alpine device?
The last O2 ROM with Pugs adaption, the 1.3 radio included.
Search for Pug it should come up with a link to his rom.
The newest O2 rom has an older radio version(1.0) because it has Blackberry support (which i will never use)
I am hardly recommend 1.04 radio version. It solved 3 issues for me and made my phone recieve signal better! This is "must have" version of radio!
I've seen this in the wiki page..
Q: Whenever I swap my battery, the clock will be reset and become inaccurate. I still haven't found a solution yet.
A: Hardware issue, not related to WM6.

If im going to send this to service center, will they just cost me a big $$$..??
Will they change the whole mother just for the battery??
because my warranty is expired.. and im afraid they cost me too high just for this battery issue..
Any experts idea?..
Hi,
I posted that question. Nevertheless it was due to WM6 ROm. I did not have that problem while using other ROM 2.26.
Is your problem happened after upgrading to WM6?
I didnt check..
because my wizard is a second hand..
after i bought it i rushly go home and upgrade to crossbow.. havent check it before..
but are you sure it is only because of the ROM wm6?
why other users using crossbow doesnt have this problem..

don't they?
i have it!
So i guess we have a wrong information in the wikipage that says its hardware related not in WM6..
Any other users who have this problem in crossbow?
any phone will lose time info after removing the battery.. how do you think it will count time if there is no other battery inside =)
before i have o2 XDA II wich has a backup battery and everytime i remove the batery dates and clocks stay..
Wizard also have a backup battery..
thats why im wondering why the dates and clock reset everytime i remove my batery
indeed.. there is a little battery in wizard.. just found

I am sure about that. I used to run T-Mobile 2.26 ROM and other customised ROM based on WM5 and did not have that problem. It happens only after upgrading to WM6.
i also have this issue...i just dont take the battery out anymore...
I have it also, using wm5 not crossbow
Hi Everyone this is my first post on xda Developers so go easy on me
Ive been reading alot about flashing to upgrade the wizard/K-Jam to use WM6 and thought i quite liked the idea, so decided to investigate further.
Im new to flashing phones/PDA's but not new to the concept of firmware and EEPROM flashing and PC's etc.
I thought as afirst timer i would follow the newbies guide posted in the "best ROM" thread.
It all looked quite straight forward so i proceeded to the first step of unlocking.
My wizard is a G3 so i followed the G3 guide and flashed with the "button ROM" and all seemed fine and the phone booted up fine etc, i then thought id reboot again (for some reason, just to double check all was well) and upon boot up the screen was scrambled i could see colours etc in the scrambled mess as if it was the blue windows splash screen ans then i got the Ping the phone usually makes of first boot that prompts fot the screeen alignment wizard, but the screen was still scrambled.
It looks kinda like when a laptop screen cable is broken so i thought maybe my cable has come loose from the mainboard, i decided to open the phone up and check,
No the cable was fine, i chcked all the connectors inside and put the phone back together.
Booted up, Still scrambled
I then decided to cut my losses and reflash to the standard Imate K-jam Rom, so i went and downloaded that from imates website and reflashed.
booted up, still scrambled
Have i somehow bricked my phone?
Has someone come accross this before, and got any idea of a soloution?
It seems to me like there is something wrong with the screen but why would i go wrong when flashing a ROM ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

i think k-jam is g4 atleast mine is g4. this is only the hint that u might hav flashed wrong rom.
mine is G3 as it doesnt have the trailing numbers after the spl it just says 216 not 216.00.00 ...etc ....etc so i think im correct in saying mine is a G3 and i flashed with a G3 ROM.
And when i flashed the Button ROM it was OK untill i restarted because i saw the splash screen and the screen alignment wizard.
Once the screen went bad i reflashed it with the genuine Imate Kjam rom and its still bad.
Hello people,
I'm new to posting on this forum so please go ease on me I've been reading the forums for quite some time now, since i have my wizard (back in June i think). That is when i unlocked and flashed my Wizard with a WM6.1 rom. And this was succesfully, i'm very happy with it and never had any problems, hooray!
So far so good, but this all changed untill recently. Some weeks ago, my Wizard started acting funny, it kept rebooting at random moments. It's not in a loop or something, it just reboots on random moments. In calls, in games, in the menu, just random.
Now i know this is not a software problem, since i never changed any software after flashing and i also have these random reboots when in bootloader....
Can anybody help me with this?
I should also note that i suspect my battery, since it looks old, slightly bulged out but most importantly, my battery life is normal when not calling, but after a call the battery can be drained from 100% to 30% with just one short phone cal..
/edit: Just had another reboot, this time i looked at the battery meter....It was full when i turned on the phone, and now it says my battery is empty...Now i really suspect the battery Just want to rule out anything else
I had similar issues - and the battery was the culprit. Get a new battery, your troubles should go away
Did you also happen to have other problems, regarding calling itself? My friends complain a lot about my not picking up my phone or reading text messages, and when i check my Wizard the calls are not there.....and a lot of people calling me get my voicemail directly when calling me, that shouldn't happen :/ All this when i have full reception :S Could this also have something to do with the battery? My guess is not but i sure hope so, that would solve two problems at once

Those are more than likely software related issues. Can be the rom itself, or the radio version you are using.
Which WM 6.1 did you flash, can you provide some details as to IPL/SPL - radio version, etc ??
For instance, my IPL / SPL is 2.26
My radio version is 2.26 also
Had a very similar experience to yours myself. A new battery fixed the problem. I dunno about that bulging battery of yours... sounds a bit ominous.

Erm let's see, i also flashed the IPL/SPL and radio software after the romflash, IPL/SPL is now 3.08 and GSM (radio?) is now 02.25.11. I think it used ti be 2.26 before flashing. As for the rom, i can't remember. I did some searching on the forum and i think it's [02 Jul] Wm.6.1 Os.19588 - Dutch - Beta! wich can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393841&highlight=dutch

I took some time and went through the threads for the Dutch Beta, but am limited by my language. I flash english versions only - so not much help I am afraid.
I would recommend you post your dropped and missed call issue directly into the rom you identified above - others may be having - or had similar issues and a quick easy fix is available.
But in the end - you need a battery for sure
Good luck
Okay, just ordered a brand new battery today wich should arrive tomorrow by mail When my Wizard proves to be stable i will flash a new ROM and see if that fixes that problem as well Many thanks for your help
P.S: I'm looking for a battery cover and a stylus, since my battery cover is missing one hook (so it won't close perfectly) and i never had a stylus since i bought my Wizard from a friend, who lost it
Hey Johrizz,
You should be able to find a stylus and battery door on google shopping and / or ebay. I just ordered a pack of stylus's for a couple bucks and a dollar for shipping. I've seen battery door's for sale for about 8-10 dollars... Just make sure to notice the shipping charges LOL.
I don't know if it's really required but here's what I tend to do with a new battery and have had good success.
1) for the first charge (and anytime I'm going to flash a new ROM) charge it fully (till the light is green and not orange) with the AC charger and not the USB / computer cable.
2) flash a stock operator rom and test it for a day or so to make sure the Wizard doesn't have some other hardware problem, weird battery drainage, etc.
3) Once you're sure that your Wizard is stable and FULLY CHARGED Flash your favorite ROM
Good luck with it!
just thought i'd post to explain the problems i had and what solved it.
Bought phone on ebay with
radio 1.58.25.17
and WM 6.5 can't remember which version but definaley cooked
Phone kept showing bizarre battery readings and would shut down after taking a few photos or occasionally when reciveing calls and making calls
installed new rom but still no joy, so decided to install a the shipped orange 6.1 rom and radio and now works fine. This obviously won't go down to well with you guys and after reading someone's post a changed radio might have done the job just as well. Have to say thou even thou the orange version is a bit bloated it does the job and solved the problem
hope this helps someone and thanks for all the info and time from everyone on this forum.
