Asked QTEK support a couple of weeks ago when they will release an updated ROM..
Their response was quite dissapointing, they claim they don't have any open issues with their current 2.17-2.18 ROMs..
Is there a good list of fixes between 2.17 and 2.26 available somewhere that I could send them, or is there anyone with more positive news about updates for QTEK wizards?
My top concerns with my swedish 2.17 rom
Slow
Bad signal quality
Practically useless wifi, often hangs the phone
Often bad sound quality in regular phone calls
Very bad sound quality using bluetooth headset
Keyboard problems /shift/alt
Regards
I've been hoping for the Qtek update with AKU 3 release...
Now it looks like we all have to wait till WM5 SE release...
So, what's the latest official ROM version anyway, I have 2.17 WWE, is there newer and if so, where can I get it??
It's the same I have...
I think there aren'tany newer - if they were, somebody would post them here.

I have searched the forum for some qualitative information on what the radio upgrade gets you. The masochistic geek in me is dying to upgrade the radio (after the recent SX66 Upgrade from Siemens) just to have the latests but... I have not seen anyrhing other than some conflicting anecdotal remarks on what the 1.06.02 Radio offers. Has anyone done any testing before and after the update? If so please share.
If not - I will probably lose control of my better judgement and do the upgrade. Any advice on what I should expect to see change and what might be measureable (without extra equipment) would be great. In that case I can take measurements before the upgrade and after the upgrade and post results.
BTW: this forum is great!
I am running the 1.33.110WWE Rom on my pda2k and recently was running the 1.06.00 radio, but I have changed to the 1.06.02 radio from the Qtek 1.22.167WWE rom. My b/t is better with a full 25 ft range and my wifi connects much faster and stays connected.People that I talk with say that there is no longer any echoing in my voice.
All in all, I am very happy with my pda2k now. It is an 8 out of 10.(Finally!)
Hope that this helps......

Thanks for the reply. I also saww a post that the BT dropped after the Seimens 1.33.10 update with Radio 1.06.02. Have you noticed anything else like more signal bars in GSM/GPRS?
Thanks

Had my 8125 Wizard now for 2 weeks. Absolutley love it - wish it was a little faster. It frequently hangs up for 1 to 2 seconds when I rapidly switch tasks.
Was looking to update to the BEST most STABLE ROM currently available, and then maybe load OmapClock to bump up to like 228mhz?
WHAT IS THE CURRENT BEST/STABLE ROM?
I did a load of searching on here but the dates are scattered throughout the past year or so... Thought I would start a NEW CURRENT THREAD.
I have seen numerous posts with issues on the new 2.x.x roms so I guess I should stay away from those for a while???
Im just looking to upgrade from my factory Cingular ROM to something better and stable. I am a total PocketPC New.B so any info/links on how to and where to locate and install these roms would also be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance
try the last one... realeased today
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44022
I thought that was for a QTek 9100 ? Will it still work for my 8125? am I correct to understand that all HTC WIZARD roms are compatible with each other???
Cingular, T-Mobile, QTek, iMate, Dopod, O2, etc... they all are HTC Wizard with different badges and covers or shells sharing the same blood.
I upgraded my Dopod 838 with the latest iMate ROM that is the best investment I've done to this device.
There are many happier Cingular 8125 owners with upgraded non-Cingular ROMs. The new ROM certainly makes the device snappier, among other improvements.
Look around this board and read on. Enjoy.

Cingular customers that already have deployed Cingular 8100 Series or Cingular 2125 devices can download the MSFP software update for free from www.cingular.com/microsoft starting on June 19.
Was posted in the Cingular forum by Gadget Ollie.
The cingular reps at the TechEd booth also are stating next Monday as the release date. It is the #1 question they are getting. (besides when will you have the MotoQ).

Still no mention of A2DP? Deception, any clues?
Or better yet any leaks of the new firmware.
A2DP can always be installed later on using the cab file. The real question is whether it is AKU2.2 or AKU 2.3. I'll bet it will be the same version that leaked here (2.25).

OK, then when you release the rom, I'll be sure to drop some feedback as to how well this radio is working. I'll probably give it a go on you "real thing" rom which is what I'm using at the moment. I'm using the 2.61 radio on it for a few weeks and I have not noticed any missed calls or anything, so it might work out.
I just put it on.....let's see how good it is.
does this one have the famous 2.2*+ radio issues.. u kno 2.21 2.25 2.26 2.61 issues as far as missing calls/txts?
Has anyone tried this with faria's wm6 rom? Does it still have the missed call problem?
Great! Thanks Faria,
How was your experience using this radio with your "Real Thing" and "Vanilla" roms?? (since you have been using it for months!!)
Will the upcoming Vanilla and RRT (Revised Real Thing) rom will have this radio?

I apologize. The emphasis should have been on the first question.
How was Farias experience in using this radio rom? would it always be better than 2.19 with the reg tweak?
seems to work good.. good signal strength

I can't believe that, especially fishy as it appears at the same time as the German ROM. You've had no problem releasing AKU3 ROMs before they appear so why is radio different?
ANyway, seems to be good so far, no problems with the ROM, using one extracted from German AKU3.3.
Another crap radio rom. Takes too long to recover from lost signal. Only getting 2 bars. Calls sound mumbled.
Well after a day of using it on faria's "real thing" I've had no problems. No missed calls, BT working fine, GPRS working fine, my bars have been full all the time (I haven't really left the area around my house yet so that might change). I didn't ever have the problems associated with the other roms either, so your mileage may vary.
I'm using this ROM with Faria's WM6 Real,
I've had numerous missed calls and SMSs. I'm going to flash 2.19.
I've missed 3 phone calls today (phone never rang) and didn't get notified of voice mail until 2 hours later. Also missed an SMS message. This is on the X-Plore 1.1 ROM.
Back to T-Mo UK 2.19 I go...

Works well thus far on Faria's WM6.
--M
I assume all of you know that the missed call problem is provider specific!? Most of people (me too - I am on T-Mobile Germany) will probably never experience this problem while others will probably have it with all newer versions (later than version 2.19) and maybe all upcoming versions...
I emailed O2 about a ROM update for the stellar, as my Device Information currently states:
ROM version: 1.82.206.1 WWE
ROM date: 10/04/07
Radio Version 1.27.12.32
They replied with:
Good Morning Dave,
Thank you for your email
O2 are currently in test with the new ROM for the Stellar which will be WM 6.1. This should be released in the next month or so. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with a specific date for when it will be placed on your website for download due to confidentiality.
Kind Regards

Is it worth upgrading for WM6.1? There seem to be differing opinions on the HTC ROM upgrade.
The O2 ROMs seem to be quite good and most complaints are due to the disappointment of the updates not including decent graphics drivers.
I will most likely upgrade mine.

oh! next month or so..this is great news! finally 6.1 for my bottle of ...ehem, for my o2 stella.
This is great, I've been on their site at least 2 times a week for the past month searching to see if they have brought out an update.
Well it's now July...anyone got any more news on this? I too keep checking the O2 software updates website. I have also tried emailing them but they didn't respond to me.
Just last week there was a flurry of Vodafone and T-Mobile updates for their branded kaisers, so I'd expect something v. soon.
As far as 6.1 goes, it's very good IMO, although some of us have experienced poor GPS performance on first fix.
Just had a look on their site and it's available to download.
Downloading now and will update later. Hopefully it'll work ok.

Alas, it doesn't make the camera any better..
Everything else seems fine so far.
Can anyone point me in the direction of the O2 site for the upgrade?

But I thought I would point out that I have improved the performance of my camera using KaiserTweak which has a setting regarding the camera that can change to make the camera respond in a quicker time (assuming that is your complaint!)
hi Guys
any chance to upload this rom somewhere like rapidshare.com as I am a Vario III user on o2 and I think my imei won't pass the check.

I'll try this later tonight - I presume that with a rom upgrade all installed programs will be wiped. Whats the best way to save the programs so that I don't have to go through installing them again (if thats possible)

Indeed...everything is wiped and all the data too.
I used SPB Backup which worked well in the end. I made a few mistakes during the restore process that made it much more of a time consuming headache than it should have been but I think I got back to where I want to be. Ringtone assignments and contact picture assignments were not restored but that may have been my error rather than the fault of the software.
I have a question though...next to the O2 task manager bubble at the bottom of the today screen is a new flashing icon that looks a bit like a Bluetooth symbol...anyone have any ideas what this is? I have tried clicking on it but nothing happens.
Also, apart from the threaded SMS (which I am excited about having gone from a Treo 650 to the Stellar), what other delights does WM 6.1 provide?!

I like the zooming in Internet Explorer but have you tried the GPS since 'upgrading'. What radio code does O2 offer with the update - is it the same radio as mine (in my sig)?
