radio on xdaIIs help please - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi guys, i have a xdaIIs and want to listen to radio on it if this is possible, i have wm3k 2nd edition,
do i have to install a program or flash it?
Any help appreciated guys.
Thanks
Alan

Yes it is possible there are plenty of programs - BUT we're speaking about the INTERNET RADIOs.
You can not listen to "FM" radio channels since your device did not have necessary hardware.
You can use Windows media player for streaming radio or just use google to find some programs.

thanks for the reply, i was hoping to get fm as i wanted to listen to the soccer,
Cheers

Hi, are you in USA?
I am in England, and our radio 5 live is available on the internet

hi,i am not in usa i am in england too.

then you will find that radio 5 live is available over the internet - problem solved!
I suggest resco pocket radio

i would imagine internet radio requires you have a internet connection setup. and if you are on the road then you would need a GPRS connection which is quite expensive to have.

Yes it does, but unfortunately this is the only way... the BA just doesn't have the hardware.
You could investigate a contract that comes with unlimited data - I know t mobile offers one.

T-Mobile vario upgrade

Im new to the MDA vario. Just swapped it with another phone...
So far i've removed the sim lock with the help of unlockitnow and thats all thats been done to it.
I would like to use my bluetooth stereo Sony Ericsson headset for listening to music on the Vario but it doesnt support the specific protocol. Am I right in thinking that I can perform a rom update on this device so that it would support the bluetooth stereo protocol.
I use the device for exchange push email, surfing and hopefully wireless music. Is there a rom you guys can point me to that will allow me to do what I want? I believe there is another lock (CID)?? I need to remove to use other roms on the device.
if you are not sure of what you are doing it's better off that you use the official ROM update... go to your T-Mobile's website to check for it...

After doing the above its well worth reading through the wizard forums as all the info you need is there.
Think I have the current version already. I've got push email but I dont think it supports the stereo bluetooth protocol which is what I want....

Question on GPA/Data usage on Kaiser

Hi, when I get my Kaiser it will be my first jump into the world of GPS. I have a simple question.
Do I need an internet connection while I'm using the GPS Software, or does it work offline?

GPS uses satellites so the answer to your question is "No"; however, if you want live traffic updates then that might require an internet connection.
Thanks
Thank you very much for the info.
Also, it depends on what navigation software you choose. Software like Tomtom, Route66 etc... install the maps to your memory card so no internet connection is needed (except as mentioned above for traffic information etc..)
However, it is worth noting that some GPS software doesn't actually install all the map information, it actually downloads it as you go along and this is via your GPRS/3G connection so these can be pretty costly if you don't have a tarriff which is good for data.
I use Tomtom on my Vario 2 (hermes) and have found it is an excellent program.

Kaiser - Built In VOIP client?

I recently had the chance to play with the Nokia E61i and the built in VOIP client is brilliant. It allows you to use internal speaker, speaker phone and bluetooth with VOIP calls.
I had a Pocket PC before HTC Titan, but unfortunately had to sell it because I am traveling a lot now. I will primarly use my device in South America where the WCDMA band is different. I am thinking about getting the Nokia E90 or the HTC Kaiser, but must make sure the Kaiser will have built in VOIP client. Can someone confirm? Thanks
Even knowing there are many VOIP applications for Windows Mobile, I tried many with the HTC Titan and only ONE worked ok, but the problem was it only worked trough the speaker phone which was very annoying and not convenient.
I understand voip should be included in WM6.
IE : the integrated phone application can do voip.
Tried it with WM6 and voipbuster on my HTC Wizard and it's working although the sound is not so good sometimes because of the Wizard weak processor (I think).

I have already asked that question some time ago - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322377 - and it turned out there is no VoIP support in Kaiser by default. I haven't seen any traces of VoIP in Kaiser I've played with two days ago. And finally, take a look into official Kaiser product sheets - they don't mention VoIP at all, while it's a good feature to shout about.
So basically, there is no VoIP support in Kaiser. However, installing it as an add-on from cab files might have a chance to work, but someone with real Kaiser with hands would need to test it and let us know.
That is really sad. I guess I am going to have to go with the Nokia E90 until a Windows Mobile device has a built in VOIP client.

VOIP is easily installed by YOU.
There's no reason to not get a kaiser because it doesn't have this if you are a member of these forums.

Amen !
I installed the voip cab from this forum, that I was using on my tytn, and it works fine on the kaiser. Hope this helps.

Well, this is great news! I hope I could confirm it as soon as my Kaiser come - I couldn't resist and pre-ordered one in Handtec.co.uk. ))
Installed the .cab as well and works like a charm.

I have Kaiser now, I've installed VOIP Drivers.cab and MajikVOIP.cab. Installs all components correctly, logs into SIP account, makes a call, but... sound comes out of external speaker, instead of internal earpiece!
Did you manage to make it work properly and if yes - which cabs exactly did you install? Thanks.
im keen to find out also! I thought that you could only access voip using cooked roms.
There are a number of WM5 VoIP endpoints available.... however I'm not entirely sure about WM6 yet. I work in VoIP, and its on my list of things the check now that i have my shiny new TyTN II sat infront of me!
I'll keep you all updated with my findings.
Mind you.. i must check tmobiles policy on VoIP, I had a sneaky feeling they are blocking necessary ports...
managing your voip client?
for those with Voip enabled and working, can you tell me how the voip client determines which connection to use, ie wifi or using the data plan?
I have installed Fring and it works well. Is this different than the other voip programs discussed above?
from what i understand, Fring is a stand alone app, where as the voip i am looking at is fully integrated into the phone and uses the standard dialer, hence my previous question about how the Voip determines which connection to use? And if that is automatic? ie. if wifi is available will it just connect via wifi and if wifi isnt available will it then revert automatically to using the data plan to make the voip call.
Not that this helps with the Kaiser, but according to HP, the new iPaq BM series should have the VoIP client enabled by default; in fact, as far as I'm aware, it's the only device announced with it enabled.
Hi,
I'm new to the PDA and WM phone world, and i have a quick question. If there was a voip program of sorts for a phone like this, would that mean you could just pay for a data plan and not have to pay for a voice plan from a company like AT&T? And then u could still text message, e-mail, internet and the sorts, but also be able to make calls through your program?
Hi
Most providers (certainly here in the UK) flag data used for Messenging and/or VoIP so they are charge at a higher rate or excluded from your inclusive allowance so you pay extra or not blocked completely.
VoIP on a mobile device is only really of benefit when you are in range of a wireless connection.
Regards
Phil
Hey, thanks for the reply. Does anyone know if AT&T restrict data like he said? That's gonna be the main service i will be using, and want to know if they do or not.

Problems with AT&T 1.62 ROM

Hi, I have a AT&T Tilt HTC 8925 1.27.14.09, I did tested this version of radio 1.27.14.09 I was very disapointed! I could not unlock the CID I could not even use the wifi to conect to a open network here in Italy, I am using "WIND", (mobile provider of ITALY), I spent like 4 days only in this issue finding how to unlock that mfk connection!, all the configurations are perfect, it does conect ... but when I open the browser it is dead, the same issue happens if I try to connet to an open network, it conects perfect! but when I try to open the navigator to enter gmail it sucks and die!
What Radio and Rom do this forum recommend me to install into my mobile, as I need to use the following programs:
MSN Messenger
Skype
VOIP
Tomtom 6.3 (is there a better tomtom than this one that supports integrated GPS? where can I download it?)
I need the maps italy 6.75, how can I install Autovelox?
I bought this mobile because I like tecnology, it is a very crook and desonest way to sell this mobile locked to a network also with software in developing state that doesnot work properly ... I see that the companies are getting more and more greedy, forcing us to remain into their services, buying tecnologies that doesnot work or ... are in development state! I fell very sad for the people that dont have a good experience in this reflashing issues, even I am a tecnician 12 years and I am having some difficulties!
I hope to find a place to fix and use this mobile as it were sold to me ...

world radio

Just wondering if I can listen to radio stations around the world on my kaiser? Im in australia and want to listen to stations from latin america. Tried a few of the ones that stream over the net but they don't seem to work (eg. batanga)
Resco radio is good for me, but i'm not sure about latin american radio channels...you could check it out though...
Also Mobile Satellite Radio looks good, but haven't tried it myself...
you might want to search on the forums for other interesting stuff...
