Hi,
I've just upgraded to the 1.40 rom supplied on the O2 website, and now, videos/movies that used to play totally fine before, now stall and jerk and jump all over the place. Not nice!
The problem occurs using Media Player, AND the new version of BetaPlayer - TCPMP - Regardless of the file size/dimensions/format.
Anyone else having this problem?
It also keeps crashing with SPB things on it, so I've removed all exept for the today plugin.
I'm thinking I might call up insurance peeps and try to wangle an O2 XDA Exec cause the screen whistling thing is getting louder!
Thanks guys!

anyone?
Hi everyone! great info on this site. been lookin around for a few hours now. Ive had my Qtek9090 for almost a year now. Trying to get a grip on this whole UPGRADING the ROMs idea. which brings me to my question.
I am a firm beliver of the whole "if it aint broke, dont fix it" saying... however i would like to upgrade my PDA for legitament reasons...
I am not interested in going to MOBILE 5. from what i have gathered it has conflicts with TOMTOM NAV 5 (which i use everyday) and other conflicts that convince me otherwise.
However, my PDA does hang randomly causing me to "soft reset" and sometimes when i call people they cannot hear me but i can hear them..
I am just curious as to which upgrades specifically i need to rid of said problems.. (If the upgrades fix other "bugs" that doesnt hurt either.. but i dont want to open the door to more problems..)
Thanks in advance everyone.
P.S. - how do i get my profile to allow me to choose qtek9090 and rom dates from the drop down boxes? i added the correct info to signature box, due to the fact that i could not add it initally.
I have to say that running TomTom5 on WM5 i've had no problems since TomTom released a 5.2 patch.
The reason I went for WM5 was very simular to the problems you are having, random lockups and sometimes if I answered a call I could hear someone but they couldnt hear me. Since going to WM5 I haven't had any problems with these two issues. The only thing that WM5 has that bugs me is the slow keyboard, which a simple overclocking can fix (which Blue Angels are designed to do)
Do you know what ROM you are on at the moment? If you goto 'Start -> Settings -> Device Information' then you can get all the versions, copy them here and I guess peeps will be able to tell you what can be upgraded.
Duh! Signature... :roll:
hehe
LOL @ signature! agagag. hmm im actually scared of going to wm5. but huh who knows.. i would really rather avoid it tho... How is that new patch for tomtom? what does it fix? thanks for the quick answer.
radio rom
You might try updating your radio rom to 1.15
Greetings vastloper
Well before the patch I couldn't even install TomTom5! :lol:
The trick is to download the update BEFORE trying to install TomTom5. If you unzip the update package (WinRAR does it) then insert your TomTom installation CD without autorun, then in the folder you unziped run the "setup.exe" program. Hay presto it all works.
It's even simpler then I make it sound.
And yeah, Radio Upgrade if nothing else should fix a couple of problems. I think you have to do a hard reset anyway for the radio update, but if your BA keeps locking up I'd make sure you do one.
thanks for the info
thanks for the info guys... yea i did something stupid last night. i tried to do that VGA hack, and it ended up not working and screwing up my file explorer? any ideas on how to remove it? ive been messin with it and i got tot he point where its "GOOD AS IS" and i deleted the files.. whats teh file called so i can look in the FTP downloads for the 1.15 RADIO UPDATE.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.15_Upgrade
Not only do you get the file, but full instructions on how to install it. :wink:
On the same page is a link to the old versions, so if for somereason you don't like the 1.15 Radio ROM you can just downgrade again. In fact the same goes for WM5.
thanks
hey thanks alot bro. Ill give the upgrade a shot.
I am more interested in vastloper because he has or had the same QTEK 9090 as i did. and im just curious as to how your current ROM is? stable? anything ya dont like about it??
well guys updated to the 1.5 RADIO ROM after reading the whole thread... had some probs with installation but thanks to the INFO on the site i managed to get through it... however i did lose my MP3 sound. and could not find an answer to it so far.. anyone got an idea?
1 person mentioned he had the same problem. but everyone else didnt.
update
did some trouble shooting and narrowed it down to media player i think. If i do a soft reset, and load an MP3 from PDA HD, it works. but when i close media player, all my sound cuts out!! even basic windows tones.
the sound will work while playing the MP3, even when i use the pause button, But its only after i close MEDIA PLAYER all my sound stops working. Any ideas?
found a ref to the exact same problem.

i duno if theres a fix... Thinking about going to Tmobile 1.42 im going to bed ive been reading for 10 hrs straight and its 7 am.
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

Then its a problem with crossbow, the phone doesn't turn on by itself when the caller hears it dial.
I received my V1615 the other day and was initially chuffed to bits, the phone looks great, most of the functions you could ever need but my delight was sort lived.
I have loads of issues with the device and have called Vodafone to ask if they had any ROM updates, the man on the end of the phone tells me that the phone comes with WM5 and that no updates were available for the unit!! I said it cam with WM6 and he told me mine must have slipped through somehow.
The problems I have are mainly
Unusable camera
Phone Lockup
Wifi Poor and will not work with any Netgear wifi points
Can not turn on TouchFlo (can’t find how!)
Are these common issues with the Kaiser or should I be looking to get the unit replaced? I don’t mind holding on for a updated ROM
My current Rom version is 1.56.161.4
Any suggestions would be great
Hi,
i have had the V1615 since launch day and have none of the problems you mention.
WIFI connects to just about every make of WIFI i come across, i am computer engineer so use it on may types, so far DLINK, Belkin, Netgear, Zyxel and a few cheapo non name brand ones, with and without security and all work fine.
Camera works brilliant on mine, takes good pictures and unlike my old Vodafone 1605 does it in just about any condition, video is good as well.
Phone had never locked on me, had one problem after doing a Tom Tom install but they was fixed by a reload.
When you say touchflow assume you mean on the contacts and Ie scrolling around page ?.
Sounds like a duff one, have you tried a hard reset and reload ?
I have a 1 week old v1615 and it works fine. recommend you send it back to vodafone and ask for a replacement
mine is also running well...
I've had mine for about 2 weeks and I'm absolutely delighted with it. For a change, I think Vodafone have been thoughtful with the software they bundled onto it (Sprite Backup and TomTom 6 being just two).
Same here. HAd mine for a week or so and it's doing great. And it seems that guy you talked to doesnt know anything. The phone shouldnt come with WM5 but with WM6 as everyone elses.
Hi!

Mine's 1.56.161.4
It's doing fine so i see no reason to change it to another ROM at this point.
edit: By the way i just saw that my phone came unlocked from Vodafone. I just checked with a sim from abroad and it worked fine. Calls and the lot. You guys might want to check yours out too. I didnt have to enter any sim unlock code or anything. Just came unlocked. These guys here got the same thing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1625232
Nothing to do with ROM's but cool isnt it?
Im curious to know if anyone has ever activated the Windows Update on their WM5/6/6.1 phone and something actually downloaded?
Tried a couple times and got nothing
Not sure what it is for? It didn't work with WM5 either.
Same here, tried a few times but no updates came through, strange
Never got anything. 6+ trys over a year or so
there was a similar thread some weeks ago.
i think WM has a windows update function for distributin critical updates if someone writes a wm virus / worm / whatever that uses a bug in Windows Mobile.
Yea ive ben trying since feb this year and have never been able to get any sort of update, try like few times each month.....
so dont really know whats the point of it.
yha i found it funny to i i'm trying to update like for 2 years now but nothing
a while ago my phone went to htc
when i got it back there was a newer version on it with updates so i think that update is useless
Windows update
Updated from
Windows Media 6.0 to 6.1 and worked perfect.
Did for my HTC Touch.

this is not about loading a new rom on your phone. we're talking about the integrated windows update function in windows mobile
it has never provided an update, but all of sudden today, it's not getting a connection to the update server.... instead of saying no updates available...
I am not sure if this is a feature that will ever be enabled. When I worked for Sprint and Verizon there was discussion of FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) updates. The main issue that could cause serious problems if the persons phone should reset or lose power during that update. It would be nice if the mobile device center could keep track of your applications and available updates like the Apple I-Tunes. Has anyone every thought of that? I think it would be fun to hack WMDC.
