Problem with Xda_IIi_Upgrade_v111169 ?

Hi all,
I've just downloaded the latest ROM BIOS upgrade for my XDA2i (Xda_IIi_Upgrade_v111169) at the UK's O2 website which includes some Blueberry things I believe - but haven't checked yet. :?:
I think I may have found a small glitch if anyone can help. :?
The glitch is in Windows Media Player 10, as setup by a clean reinstall.
When I click on WMP10, it does not display a 'file open' option.
The 'file open' icon is 'greyed out' and only the icon which connects to Windows Media.com on the Internet works.
As usual I can double click on some media files (eg wmf, AVI) in File Explorer and have them open in WMP10 as expected, - but I wonder does anyone have a fix so I can make it work by opening files in WMP10 in the normal way?
Although I don't use WMP10 a lot, and prefer others, I would like to get it going because I believe it is cludgy or difficult to remove.
But I may be wrong....What do others think ?
Thanks

Open MP10
Goto (from Main Screen)
Menu/Library/Menu/Open File
Works for me

Whahey!!
Works great.
Thanks. Much appreciated!

Does it work when I use in different region (Asia)?
Hi all,
I'd like also to upgrade this rom v1.11.169 from O2 UK.
Does it work when I use in different region (Asia)?
Many thanks

HI Clickhari
I'm not an expert so my reply may not be accurate!
I rang up O2 and asked whether my XDA would work in Asian countries, and they said yes. (after ensuring my contract gave me access to international calls)
I asked whether it would still work with the upgrade, they said yes.
More than that I don't know. My approach would be backup everything, and then be able to install whichever works there.
If that's not what you meant, then maybe someone else can help.

wat is the improvement they provided inside this new ROM? i live in singapore, can somebody tell me is this can be use in asia?

Hi andriangunawan
:idea: On the UK website http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft.html
(quote
The latest XDA IIi System Software is available for you to download.
New and changed in this version of software, v1.11.169 are:
BlackBerry Connect v2.0
This software is for Xda IIi in UK and Ireland.
German customers should visit: www.o2xda.de
Asia customers should visit: www.SeeO2.com
for ROM upgrades for those countries.
I don't use Blackberry but I took some screen dumps of the Blackberry setting if it helps. They are attached.
More than that I can't really say.

Hi!
I have down load this ROM and update to my PPC. But the Radio was v1.00.00 instead of my old version is v1.00.3. Finally I back to old vertion.

The new 02 upgrade only seems to have the Blackberry upgrade? Does anyone know if it contains any further fixes and if it does how can I upgrade the Radio portion to1.03, like the previous cooked 02 ROM?
Thanks

Found one answer, not possible to update to v1.03 radio, doesn't seem to work with new 02 ROM, I wonder if that is why 02 did not update radio themselves?

Why to upgrade to WM6

Hi, ALL
I have G3 T-Mobile MDA (Wizard), running Wm5 custom ROM from Xelencin and latest Radio ROM.
Also I have installed
SPB Diary, Pocket Plus, Weather, Imageer, Backup
Resco File Explorer
PhotoDialer Plug-in
WM5Storage
MemMaid
Some RSS Reader
iGuidance
MS VoiceCommand 1.5
IMPlus, Skype
Yahoo 2 Go, Google Maps, Live Search
TCPMP
etc
most of these on 2GB miniSD. Everything works. I use most of that from time to time.
I saw faria WM6 ROM. I saw MB Rom, I saw Mun's Rom. My question is - do I need to upgrade to WM6 ? Will it add something, which probably I'm missing ?
Or it is just to have latest Windows Mobile OS ?
Second big question - will my apps work with WM6 ?

Also if moderators think this question belongs to Wizard Mobile 6 forum, can you please move it

Do you need to upgrade? Probably not. I will say that most (not all) of the custom roms will give you more space and will run faster than the stock official roms.
Will add something, which you are probably missing? The quick answer is yes. You are missing the frustration that some of us go through with these . Seriously though, its hard to answer it, but for me I find the custom roms more stable than my original Cingular 2.25, faster, gives me more room on the phone itself, and just more fun to play with (but then I'm a geek).
I can't honestly say why the draw to WM6 other than the geek factor involved and the ability to show friends and coworkers that you are running WM6 (and they don't care anyone or don't even know what you are babbling on about).
I would suggest you at least give Faria's or Molksi's 2.3 and 3.3 ROMs a try even if you aren't interested in WM6. They are VERY nice and stable. But also, understand that you will have to fiddle and tweak with your phone for a day or two to get it back to where you want it.
Second big question - will my apps work with WM6 ?

Click to collapse
I've used Spb Backup, Resco Explorer, WM5torage, Memmaid, MS VoiceCommand 1.6 all on Faria's AKU 3.3, WM6 MBE, and Faria's WM6 "the real thing" and they all work.
I'll defer to others on the rest of your list.

I know you didn't list it but, as you are using other spb products,
spb time doesn't fully work

How did you get Yahoo go 2?

double post

I received email with Yahoo go 2 and there was a link. Just went there and install. Dont remember exactly, but something like that

It's only available for smartphones... You don't happen to have a link/file handy? :d

Yahoo Go 2 for smartphones and pocket pc phones:
This is where I got mines from, they had it as an option when it first came out but now it is hidden and they want your phone information to send it to you.
This link will get you the cab. file and the active sync download.
http://sites.mobile.yahoo.com/go/mobile/getstarted

That link is Yahoo Go 1, which I am running right now.

New DIamond - So far so good

Ok. I got mine in the afternoon...from Expansys am sorry to say (price and all).
So far I installed:
Destinator 7 - works if you copy the whole directory in the Interna Storage (It wont recognise the maps if you leave it in the Device memory)
TomTom 6.03 works
Pocket navigator Cyprus - Doesnt work
PPC Toolman - works and therefore I will dare to install IGO8 tomorrow and see if it works.
SlingPlayer for PPC works just fine.
Visual IT Tube2 works fine.
I have the Tytn II and the transition is a bit difficult but I am getting there.
Will let you know more as I intall more programs

Seeing as you bought one from Expansys, could you check to see how much ram it comes with??. Someone over at their forums said his came with 128mb of ram when production/retail units should have 192mb of ram. Also a member here has asked in one of the threads so would be helpful if you could clear that up for us.

It comes with 192 MB . No cd for a GPS software.
Update: Igo8 doesnt work even if I change the SYS.txt line from Storagecard to Internal Storage as suggested in other forums.
Any help would be appreciated

You can use Total Commander for ppc or PHM regeditor (http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/).

I read in some reviews that the device is somewhat "Sluggish"can you give us some details on the general behavior and responses in general

Hi Athosk, you say slingplayer works fine. It is very smooth or jerky but watchable? I have experienced it on the HTC universal, Tytn II and Advantage so far and have to say the performance of it on those phones is in that order i.e. universal is the best one out of the three (but still not brilliant). If you could post the frames per second you are getting on the diamond that will be great.

No, Slingplayer works fine. You can only see a very very thin line of colours but that is not something that would bother u.also in landscape mode u don't see anything so it's ok

Ok, you will be surpised by this...When i run Tube 2 by Visual IT and i perform a simulation from one station to another, the Tytn 2 works a second faster than the Diamond. I still don;t know why, since the Diamond has a faster processor

GPS Software on Diamond

Which GPS software works best?
I am having difficulty installing CoPilot 7 (came with my Cruise but I never used it so I have the license and maps). I'm looking for something that has support for GCC maps because I'm in Dubai

Can I ask what issues you are having with installing Copilot? I was thinking of running Copilot 7 when I get my device and would be interested to hear. Is it because the Diamond doesn't have an MicroSD slot and Copilot only comes on SD? Or is it because it is a Cruise specific version?
Incidently, found this on the Copilot support site ("How do I recreate my V7 PPC SD card ?") which may help...
http://support.alk.eu.com/cgi-bin/alk.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=649&p_created=1194449850&p_sid=v9jItB5j&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0yMDUmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li=&p_topview=1
Looking at the PDF it contains, it theoretically should allow you to install to and run on the Diamond. Don't know until I get my Diamond, but worth a go.
Good luck.

I'd really like to get Copilot working. The one I have is Copilot 7 but the message I get is "you are not authorized to install this version of the software on this device" - although the Copilot Central [PC] software recognises the phone as a compatible device!

Did you register Copilot on your Cruise?
Have you posted a support question to ALK? They may have an answer.
Sounds like its either pre-registered on another device, or more likely, it isn't compatible with WM6.1. Have you downloaded the latest version through Copliot Live. I think they did an update amonth or so ago. Hopefully that may be WM 6.1 compatible.

I got my Cruise in April and never registered or even installed Copilot so it's definitely not been used. Still fiddling around with it before I post a support question as I've only had the phone a few hours. Thanks for the tip- checking now for an update

I haven't got my diamond ... yet.
But with Co-pilot 6 I had a similar error, and needed to "uninstall" the license via the web just to upgrade 6.0.1 to 6.0.4. In CP6 this was a bit of a pain, according to the documentation it should be easier with CP7??

CoPilot Live 7 : Fixed

CoPilot is pretty good. To be honet I hadn't heard of it until I got it with my Cruise but the maps look great!

i am using Garmin Mobile xt on my Diamond with canada-Us maps and it work perfectly

Does anyone knows an application that shows me the current speed and the geographical height?

Hi there,
i have been having the same sort of problems as you did, i ca't figure out which GPS program to use with my HTC Diamond, and it's a hassle finding maps for Egypt and that are also compatible with the program.
Can you help out in any of these points, i'd apreciate it.

Where did you get the upgrade from if you don't mind me asking.
I used to have a Cruse (with TT), then I lost it just as the MWg Atom V came out So I purchased CoPilot 7 at the same time but never installed it when I realised the MWg was a load of C*********. Now I have a Diamond and an unused CoPilot 7 that I would like to use. I have used the update in the CoPilot Central program. but still no joy.

Possible upgrade to Copilot Central required - I had a similar problem
This was the instruction I was sent by ALK...
1. Please ensure you have exited CoPilot Central on your PC
2. Download the Central Update by going to http://www.alk.eu.com/files/v7/Central_v0.5.52.4_patch.exe and click OPEN / RUN when asked to in your web browser.
3. You should see a message saying "This patch will update CoPilot Central to the latest version". Click OK to proceed
4. Click START and the update will start extracting files to the default location where CoPilot Central is installed to - this should be C:\Program Files\CoPilot\Central - if you have installed CoPilot Central to a different location, please ensure that the patch is installed to the appropriate location.
5. Once complete, start CoPilot Central and go into HELP | ABOUT and you should now see 0.5.108.0​
Also to download the latest version of the mobile app manually try here...

I think most of the GPS programs do, but you could try out GPS tuner, which turns your phone into a gps (not turn by turn navigation).

Availible ROM

I'm trying to find a WM6 ROM for a Tre 750 (with Telstra in Australia).
I only need it for one specific thing, so I'd prefer a copy of the palm official wm6 ROM- where can I get it?

here's an att offical wm6 rom sdupdater version....
http://750.teamus.us/wm6/
what specific thing are you looking for?

the ability to have a domain\username that is more then 20 charecters for exchange activesync
cheers for that- will that at&t version go onto a telstra one fine? they both use umts 850mhz, so thats fine at least.

Ok, tried the AT&T one- no dice, won't update.
Does anyone have a copy of the Telstra ROM?

I haveit for the Palm Treo 750, is that what you want?

Yep - official wm6 Ron for telstra treo 750?

How do I get this 61,596 Kb file to you?

TREO750-2.26-ROW for Telstra WM6
Check your PM

Can I have TREO750-2.26-ROW for Telstra WM6 too.
I just bought Palm Treo 750 from eBay Australia, I live in Sydney. I would like to update from WM5 to WM6. Can you help send me some files? The previous owner bought it from Telstra.

Do you have the file TREO750-2.26-ROW for Telstra WM6 still available
I have a Palm Treo 750 from eBay Australia, I live in Brisbane. I would like to update from WM5 to WM6. Can you help send me some files? The previous owner bought it from Telstra.

I have the WM6 for AT&T and the exchange server function works fine, provided you leave th "Force A&T& Proxity' checked/on. The only thing my AT&T version of WM6 won't do (yet) is let me watch Foxtel on the mobile. So, I'm trying to work out how to flash the Tesltra version of WM6 onto my AT&T Treo 750, which I think can be done via the SD Card method.

Check you PM for my mailing address. If you mail to me a memory stick (min 100MB) with a few stamps, I'll copy my version and mail it back to you (on your memory stick).

Check you PMs for my mailing address, where you can mail me a memory stick etc. (see below).

Check you PMs for my mailing address, where you can send a 100MB (min) memory stick and I'll copy the download. Include $1.10 in stamps and your return address.

Would you mind sending to me as well? Assume it'll work if I'm on an ex-Telstra but now unlocked Treo 750?
