QTEK 2020i and TomTom

Hi,
Last days I posted a similar message in Himalaya forum, but I think is better to make the question here.
First of all, sorry for my very bad English.
I am trying to find a good navigator. I saw a that TT5.1 hangs my QTEK 2020i frequently and I need a softreset. I am testing a patched version from emule of TomTom 5.1 before buying due to some comments about its frequent hangs up with XDA 2. I don't know if the problem could be the GPS, the SD card, the QTEK...
Could any of TT5 users confirm:
1. If his TT5 runs correctly in their QTEK 2020i or XDA 2i?
2. If is a patched or oficial (buyed) version?
I am Spanish and I use Telefonica Movistar as provider, no O2 as the majority, then I can not upgrade my rom.
Could anyone explain what Radio version does and if is it possible to improve from 1.02 to 1.03 only, with no changes in protocol version, ext rom...
Hardware data:
Version ROM: 1.11.03 ESN
Date ROM: 31/01/05
Version radio: 1.02.00
Version protocol: 1337.41
Version ExtROM: 1.11.117 ESN
San Disk SD card 1gb
Haicom GPS HI-303E with bluetooth slipper HI-401 BT
Any help will be good
Thanks
Bye

I have a Qtek 2020i and TT5.1 runs fine for me, but I have changed my firmware.
Either get the O2 mod'ed firmware with the 1.03 radio from this site or the latest i-mate PDA2.
Both of these have fixed bugs which made TT and other apps crash.

Neither of the above helped me though, there seems to also be an issue with SD card access speed too.

Thanks,
Today I tested a Sd card San Disk Ultra II 512 mb (reading 10mb/s and writing 9mb/s) wit anything in the SD card and again hangs up and a softreset needed...
Only some questions from a desperated novice:
1. Is there any problem if I put this O2 moded firmware with the 1.03 radio from this site and my operating telephone company is Telefonica Movitar from Spain?
2. Where can I find this O2 moded firmware with the 1.03 radio from this site?
3. Is it possible to return to my actual firmware if there is some major problems? How? with a new hard reset?
Sorry for a lot of questions
Bye

It seems as if the 2020 has problems with "large" SD cards - my "cheap" 1GB cards hang TT5 on a regular basis, I have some better 1GB cards that work perfectly but will not allow me to pick up traffic updates. I also have a Panasonic 128MB card which usually works perfectly (once I can get the 2020 to see it which might mean sticking it in and out a few times), the 128 card will pick up traffic updates and everything else with no problems whatsoever - maybe try a smaller card.

I use the cheap 32x LEXAR 1GB SD card on my 2020i. The only problem I encountered were all the files were read only when it installed.

Unable to see or access \Storage folder

I'm currently running WM5 patch 2 but I've now started havings problems unhiding and unlocking Ext ROM on my Device. I keep getting the following error message:
"FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - The parameter is incorrect"
Athough when I click ok I still get a debug message saying "extrom unlocked" but when I browse my BA, I am unable to locate \Storage folder. Somebody please help!. :shock:

Hi
This is simple.
When you installed WM2005, you re-formatted the ROM.
WM2005 uses 'persistent storage' automatically.
This means that all volatile data is kept in ROM (not RAM).
You can't interfere with that.
To put it simply. There's no extrom or 'storage' in WM2005.

Thank you for the information Robal. Does this mean I can nolonger install programs into the ROM i.e IIWPO (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=IIWPO)?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You cannot. Even if you place a file to extended ROM it would not be instaled after hardreset. WM5 on BA knows nothing about extrom.

Thank you Mamaich!
There another thing bugging me. When I check my Memory Usage, it displays something like this:
Storage
Total: 60.78 MB
In use: 44.21 MB
Free: 17.45 MB
Program
Total: 123.15 MB
In use: 29.77 MB
Free: 93.36 MB
It seems to me that there's no way of me manipulating memory usage i.e. allocate some memory from Program to Storage. Can this be achieved?[/b]

help my imate pda2... my rom is 64... why?

I have bought a pda2 but there is a problem with flashRom size....In device information------>Hardware the flashRom size is 64Mb.....I don't know how it's possible...thanks for your help.
ps. I have read after the Italian version of imate website and i have uncovered that the Italian version has only 64 mb of rom. how it is possible?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you Iranian?.....

The Alpine has 64MB reserved for the OS, Extended rom, radio stack, splash screen and so on which is updated using a PC.
64MB reserved for Storage which you can use to store data.
128MB split between program memory and memory storage, user adjustable.
What you are describing is the official size of the Storage which as standard shows up as less than 60MB by the time it is formatted.

Increase OS ROM and reduce EXTROM/STORAGE possible?

Hey, I have just had this idea.
We actually have a single ROM, which is segmented in 3 parts: ROM, EXTROM and STORAGE right?
originally we have 43MB for storage, 26MB for EXTROM and the rest (32MB? not sure) for the OS ROM.
originally, a way has been found out to reduce EXTROM to the minimum of 128KB and add it to storage, giving is a 60MB goodness of space.
The thing is, over time compaction can cause slowness, so it's preferred to use a storage card to manage data and keep internal storage empty, as BAs haev not been designed for WM5 (nor vs. nand and stuff, we know about that).
BUT compaction never messes with our IMGFS in the OS ROM right?
What if instead of adding the EXTROM space to torage we added it to OS ROM?
That would give us +16MB (more, since IMGFS is compressed) of OS ROM to play with.
That's an upgrade from a bacon-and-eggs kitchen to a Cordon Bleu Chef kitchen
Maybe even storage could be reduced to add even more OS ROM space...
OK, I have had the idea, what the ones which actually get their fingers greasy (Tuatara, mamaich, Bepe, Midget, Helmi & co.) have to say? Is it possible?

How much RAM is in your diamond??

Hi guys,
I have a Diamond from Orange UK.
As i was looking at the "Device information" I noticed that is showing only
128MB RAM - I was aware this device had 192MB of RAM
Flash Size: 256MB
Internal storage: 382.48MB
So why is the ram 128MB, its just mine or is it a orange thing..
Please comment you ram size Orange or NOT.
I have 1.93.831.1 HK WWE ROM
Radio and protocal from ROM
HardSPL 1.24 by jocky
Security and SIM and CID unlocked.
Could it be the HardSPL or ROM is causeing the RAM sortage.
Thanks for you time..
EDIT: just done a hard reset and still the same 128MB RAM - i will flash it to 1.93 eruo see if that helps, will update post.
EDIT 2: Updated the ROM to 1.93 EU Sitll showed 128MB RAM...
However issue was resolved when i flashed jockys 1.34 HardSPL now shows 192MB.
So anyone using Jockeys 1.24 HardSpl, Check you have the correct amount of ram ( its a real shame because i otherwise liked the 1.24 HSPL)
Anyway please comment on your device:

its not missing,
I got t mobile version
with stock spl its 192mb
HardSPL 1.24 by jocky its 128mb
OliNex hard spl its back to 192mb
just not being reported correctly

but is it only a mistake when is read from device or there is a 128 MB only?

I'm at stock ROM and it shows 192mb for me, tho the Internal storage shows only 3775.05mb but I guess that's pretty normal, it was not totally accurate on my previous phone's SD card.

Yes, should be normally 3.815 MB. Mine only shows 3.768 MB but maybe the rest is for the file system?!
@ stan40: see also this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402747 that might be an explanation why only 128mb are shown.
