Apologies to all in advance, who rightly groan when I ask this, but does anyone know if and when an official UK MDA III Rom update will be released by T-Mobile UK?
I am new to the network and have no idea how the support works. I have read through the forums and seen issues with upgrading the MDA III from another ROM (such as QTEK country ID issue for example). For an absolute novice like me (no technical background whatsoever) can anyone assist me.
The issues I have appear to be common ones and they are:
1 The microphone doesn't appear to carry voice effectively (although the speakerphone seems better for some odd reason) and
2 The bluetooth connection is temperamental and battery draining; to say the least.
All help appreciated. Please forgive my naivety as this is my first ever post - so be gentle.
Sorry, I don´t understand you at all, could you tell me if you have got a new T-mobile ROM for the MDA III that has an unlocked-SIM? If so, where could I get it? Thanks.
My post was regarding upgrading my existing ROM.
My MDA is unlocked as I requested a code from T-Mobile who provided it within 1 day.
Sorry I cannot help, as like you I am trying to find out where and how to upgrade.

I have recently bought a MDA Compact II of a mate of mine. It used to be on T-mobile but has been unlocked and currently has an o2 sim. I have had some problems though. I cant seem to use my o2 GPRS settings in the device, or send MMS messages. When i take a picture using the camera, then go to send in a MMS the device freezes and i can not get back to the main screen. Also, when i try to send a file through MMS using the file manager, nothing comes up.
When i go to send a new message, i click on the menu button and the Insert Item field is greyed out. Does anyone know the problems i am having and how to fix them?
Thanks in advance for any help.
PS: Not much of a problem but wonder if it can be fixed anyway. Is there a way i can change the boot screen picture? It has the t-mobile design at the moment.
Hi. First of all, i'm not tiny bit as knowledgeable as the gurus on this board, but this seems to be solvable by my bird brain, so here goes.
First of all, I think you should do a hard reset and before the T-mobile customisations begin, you should soft reset to prevent T-mobile gprs and mms settings etc from getting installed.
Then you can install or configure O2 settings.
For boot screen, you need to CID unlock your device and then splash the required boot screen. There was quite a discussion in the Charmer forum about this. You might want to check the Charmer threads. Loads of information there.
Hope some of this helps. Cheers.

1.- Settings: Delete all the T-Mobile connections, and create your own according to carrier of the SIM you are using. Doesn´t take much to figure out how to I wouldn´t recommend to stop the customisation where the extended ROM is deployed, you may find useful settings in your Ext ROM.
2.- Splash screen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=253308
Good luck!
I have done a soft reset before customization begins, but my o2 details do not seem to want to work when i test them. The splash screen thing looks a little complicated and i will read up on it sometime.
Now for my other problem. Does anyone know why when i click "Send to MMS" after taking a picture the device locks up and i need to soft reset to use the device again. And also why is the "insert item" field greyed out in the menu when creating a new SMS?
By the way thank you for the other advice. I will be reading up on it very soon.
moved to charmer.
since soft and hard resets have proven futile, you may want to try a rom upgrade to see if it makers any difference.

I have an MDA vario III - Tynt II
I did manage to unlock my phone eventually , however since I unlocked it I can't make or receive any calls. Anything that has to do with sound on my phone doesn't work, i.e. it doesn't ring if someone calls me , it only vibrates. I can't accept a call, the green button doesn't work when someone is calling me. also, when i make a call and I get through I can't hear the person on the other line and neither can he hear me.
Any suggestions?? I did try to soft and hard reset it but it doesnt rectify the problem. I've also tried to launch the bootloader.
I am worried that I might have made my warranty void now cos of this.
Is that true?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you !
Hi Andrew,
When you say you unlocked your phone, what exactly did you do? A SIM unlock I presume so you can use any networks SIM? If so how did you do it? (e.g. software, online, code through eBay?)
What ROM are you running? You can find this in Start>Settings>SystemDevice Information
Copy all the info from that screen including the Radio Version.
Cheers

which sim unlocker did you use, and did you reflash your original radio rom after unlocking?
Thank you everyone. problem solved. i had to reflash my rom and the sound got restored.
My phone doesnt allow me to call after I used okiwiz
I used the okiwiz to unlock my phone but now i cant mak any calls
can any one help?
I got an i9305 from Orange, and I was just looking under About Device for some general info and noticed I have no software update options!?
Anyone know if it's located, anywhere else :S or does anyone else have the same issue?
Also does anyone know when we might start seeing some decent ROMS on this device?
Other than that, gorgeous device
Cheers
Orange have more than likely removed it .

Hi, I recently got an S3 LTE from Orange (UK). Mine appears to be unbranded and does have software update in the Settings-->About Phone section (right at the top).
I could be wrong but I think I heard that the first batch of S3 LTEs that Orange sold were like this and that an update was available, if I remember correctly you have to install the PC suite (Kies?) and update through that.
Can you confirm what Android version it is showing? (mine is 4.1.1)
hope that helps,
Grim
