Dear all, i wanted to buy this phone from vodafone and i notice that they are having only qtek 2020i. I was wondering what is the difference between the 2020i and IIi? is it the same in terms of hardware features? Also, Why is this forum having Alpine, Himalaya & Andes?
Which is qtek 2020i categories under? Also can the qtek 2020i by vodafone be upgraded to WM5 since there are still alots of unsolved bugs?
Please guide, thanks.
The 2020i is the same as the XDA IIi and the Alpine.
As yet WM2005 is not available for the device, but we all hope it will be sometime.
so what bugs does this phone having? is it a big issue? can it be solved when upgrading the rom?
The only real bug with the xda IIi is the SD card issue with most SD cards, Only the faster cards ( Such as the transcend 80X card ) work fine with the device.
The phone does accept other SD cards but tends to freeze on a regular basis with any slowSD card.
Some say its has to be a single layer SD card, so basicly ... make sure you buy the right SD card and all is fine.
Hi,
Could everyone post their experiences of using different SD cards, please include any problems experienced and anythingelse that might be useful for a buyer, e.g. what you use the card for, as certain cards work fine but cause problems with some applications e.g. Tom Tom 5 and the fone dialer. Also please include the make, model, price, the where you bought the card and what you use the card for.
The reason for this topic is that, I read in the forums people have had problems with different cards and applications. All this information is spread across the forum. It would be really handy for a buyer (like me) to have a thread like this...
Many Thanks!
At the moment I use an "ADTEC" 256mb card, it works fine with TT3 and does not seem to crash my xda2i, But it is a couple of years old and i am about to get a 512mb card, So it will be interesting for me to see how this thread develops.
Transcend 80x 512MB.
Works perfectly with everything including TomTom.
yeah transend 80x ,but i do think any 80x will work ,but 1 person found the transend 80x worked so i think we all bought them as we were just glad we finally found a working sd card ,well i know i was
but it would be interesting to see what other can be used succesfully
I recently bought an Ebuyer own brand 1GB SD card for £32
When it arrived it was actually a Kingston branded card!
I'm not the only person this has happened to...check out the reviews on Ebuyer.
Anyway, I've only had it for about a week but I've had no problems with it so far.
Not really used it exstensively but I've currently got about 300MB worth of music on it.
Good price, Good product I think.
Cheers

I have a Corsair 1GB 40x card. I haven't used it much, and I know virtually nothing about these things... But it works. ~£40 from dabs.com.
i dont have money to buy a new SD Card, so I take my brother camera SD Card. mine one just 256mb and the brand is NCP.
work fine for me.....lagging for 2 seconds when incoming call...after that its ok.....but i dont recommended to others!
Have A-Data 150x SD 2Gb card. Works fine. No delays or such, even on moves, even on incoming calls.
Transcend 80x 1GB........... No problem whatsoever... even when running TomTom Navigator 5
Take back what I previously said. I can't access the card on my PDA now - it simply doesn't show up
Not sure if it's the PDA or the card because I've only just realised and I don't have a card reader at work...will have to try when I get home and update then.
Cheers
Wayne
I'm sending the card back under warranty.
Also, it wasn't a Kingston...it was Viking branded card (not sure where I got the Kingston from )
Cheers

what about pretec 133x 1gb? anyone tried it b4? Do we just judge the speed? if it is above 80x it would work fine?
thanks everyone for youre input. ive ordered a ridata 1GB SD card. its a 66x speed card. i read somewhere cant remember where now that tomtom needs a 10mbs card which is 66x speed which my main reason for buying the card will let you know how it goes when i receive the card.
Negative experience
Hi,
I bought a 1GB 66x BRAVO SD Card at Ebay.
Since then, my Alpine crashes over and over again.
I Soft reset it 5-10 times a day!
I guess it's the SD Card's fault as the device never crashes without the card.
Hi!
I have my XDA IIi for about 2 weeks now. So far I didn't have any problems with my SD-Cards.
I have a 256MB SD Card extrememory (no fancy speed...) that works quite well. I used it several days without problems and now have placed my rom backup on it.
The other SD Card I now use mainly for my XDA IIi is a 2GB Card from Transcent (150x). Until now I didn't had any strange problems with it (used it for about one and a half week).
I've finally found an SD card that works with Tomtom5 without crashing - it the Transcend 80x SD Card.
I've tried loads of others some better than others, but all crashed within minutes of starting TT5 except the Transcend.
Some other SD Cards were fine running Tomtom 3, but would not run Tomtom5 as all.
I've had the following cards that cause TT5 to crash:-
Kingston Ultimate 133x 512Mb
Kingston Elite 80x 512Mb
Scandisk 512Mb
The only other card that I've had that didn't cause TT5 to crash was :-
Compaq 128Mb (speed unknown as it came with an iPaq) but not big enough.

Btw: 1GB extrememory won`t work neither :evil: big ****e

RE: SD Card with Alpine
Hi All,
I use a Zynet 1Gb 68x and my TomTom only has a problem with incoming calls. freezing to solve it, I turn my BT GPS on and off and this fixes it.
My friend is using a Qtek 2020i with Tomtom and a Transcend 1Gb 80x,
he has the same problem as me.
I don't know if the new 1.04 Radio version would help or not, when I get the energy I will upgrade my XDA IIi to this and test.
My opinion is that the Alpine has an internal power problem, as it only occurs with Bluetooth on, causing a power drain when a call is received thus your SD card briefly loses power. Its only a theory, the weight is towards some sort of design fault with the Alpine, otherwise one of the Carries etc would have sourced an answer by now, as the Alpine has been out long enough now. We cannot blame SD cards which work perfectly well with the majority of other electrical devices on the market.
hello..i got a 1 gb sandisk sd card which works fine in my qtek 2020i and i also use tom tom 5 with this and a 1gb pny sd card as well.
i never new there was all these problems with sd cards :shock:, saying that i always bought sandisk and they have not let me down before with this ppc phone or my past ppc phone like the spv m1000.
Hi Im new user to ORANGE SPV M2000 in Lima Peru (south america), the M2000 is a great pdaphone, but i want other camera in M2000.
For example in market have:
SD CAMERA PHOTO TRAVELER 130S VEO (1.3 MEGAPIXELS)
FLY CAM SD LIFEVIEW (1.3 MEGAPIXELS)
is possible use both or one SD Camera in IMATE PDA2K or SPV M2000
Best regards
Jcpockettperu
Hi, yes it possible. I tried using the 1,3mpixel hp sdio camera attachment in my pda2k and it worked like a charm. only problem is that it protrudes out the top of the phone making it impossible to fit into pouch or pocket. still cool to have tried it though.
Regards, Wayne :wink:
Hi
Since i got my new xda2i i have problems using sd/mmc cards in this ppc. Sometimes it seems that the card controller in the ppc locks up for example while hearin mp3s wich are stored on the card. I have two 1gb sd cards a "ExtreMEmory" and a "TakeMS" furthermore i tried a 64MB "Sandisk" mmc. All cards work fine in my old yakumo delta. Even a reset (soft) does not help.
After 1 or 2 hours the cards are suddenly reappears in the file explorer. Meanwhile i can use the pda normal except for the sd-card. :wink:
Does anybody got a similar behavior of its xda2i. I tried also the english update but no luck (now i using german orginal angain).
Thanks in advance . . .

Hi
Thankyou i'll try it. But i have formated the sd card once direct on the pda. Do i need a hp cardreader?
cu
Groovie

HI,
I tried that tool, but no luck.
I have send the device back to o2. This can only be a defect.
Bye
mmm i dont knot ...howewer when it go back please give me a feedback about o2's response thanks
bye
hm.... does it means that the MMC / SD-Card over 512 MB is prone to error in XDA IIi ?
that's so annoying :-(
now I'm in doubt to buy Kingston Elite Pro 1 GB SD-Card. Should I take Kingston or Transcend ?
any response would be very helpful.
Hi,
I have got another device back from O2. This one works fine for about three weeks now . . .
cu
I've used Transcend 80x 1 GB SD-Card SLC till now and it works smoothly no problem at all.
Hi All,
I have used Imate PDA2 for around 2 years never got any issue, recently (2 month ago) I found the issue that i can't write anything to SD Memory Card, Reading from the SD memory Card in Alpine is fine, the Card itself is fine (tested in PC).
Looks like to be an issue with it's pin's not getting connected while card is inserted in unlock state.
Does anyone know which pins on board can be solded togather to permanenlty make the Card Reader into write mode ? or any other hints ?
Regards,
Tipu
