Got My New MDA Vario (TMO) - Now to Upgrade, Have Questions

My K-Jam / MDA Vario is two hours old but damn, she's fine ! I see about the speed thing but it's not that obtrusive. I understand the WM 5 thing about loading the programs from ROM into RAM to execute but I have questions later.Given the other integrated features I like, fine compromise. Now on to the topic at hand:
Bought this unit from importgsm.com for US$589.99 (sweet). It's T-Mobile MDA Vario from Germany so all manuals, CDs, etc are in German. Not too worry, lot's of English PDF manuals, start up docs on the web. Have done my first AS 4.1 sync, no problems. Installed a few programs so far, no problems.
Had to checked for EDGE in Austin, TX so set up an APN connection of internet3.voicestream.com and times connect speeds at 81.6Kbps (10KBps) using www.texan.com/speed.htm. This seems higher than my GPRS connect specs I had recorded on my XDA II at 45Kbps - 52Kbps.
Questions:
A Qtek ROM/Radio was loaded on this unit even though it's TMO. ImportGSM customer service says it's a better ROM at the moment for Wizard units that they stock. The i-mates are hard to come by he said.
1) How do I check that the speed slow down items, I've read about (virus scanner, etc) are installed and/or running? Then, naturally, how to eliminate them.
2) Here's my ROM/Radio specs for Qtek:
ROM: 1.1.7.5 dated 9/22/05
Radio: 1.1.10.0
Protocol: 4.0.13.16
ExtROM: 1.1.7.105
Given that, what's the XDA communities recommedation on upgrading ROM/Radio? Is this an "old" ROM/Radio"? Should I wait longer to upgrade? Should I go with i-mate's latest, do a Qtek upgrade, use TMO ... ??? Thoughts gentlemen?
I'm comfortable with EXE upgrades but not RAR upgrades but could, in a pinch, do it.

i don´t have a MDA Vario, so i can´t try out.

I have the German MDA Vario but running QTEK 9100 Firmware on it .... seems it really needs the german rom to work/install properly. can anyone extract the cab file from the pocketpc client ? seems it cant launch the installer or setup program .... perhaps anyone has an idea on how to fix this ??

I too would really love info on this. We use a Blackberry Enterprise Server at work and I would be in heaven if I could use my HTC Wizard with it. Anyone??

I don't want this fu**ing Berry Bull****, they should release a new AKU2 Rom!!!

The Vario BB client that you can download from T-Mobile Germany :
- Has a German installer
- but is English software
- Works on HTC Wizard and Universal devices, regardless of OEM (IMate, TMO, Qtek)
- But only on AKU1, not on AKU2
- and requires radio 1.12 (Wizard) or 1.06 (Universal)
- has T-Mobile settings coded into DLL files so cannot be used with other providers
(I have tested all variations)

I've installed this, I have VF account, it installs ok gets a PIN briefly gets IP address then disconnects, I have pushed the policies from our corporate BES Server, all downloaded ok, just need to check with our BES Manager to see if all setup on their end correctly, it WONT connect and stay connected, I can only assume this is a policy/encryption key issue.

What would be the best ROM for me to try this with VodaPhone BB Service...?
My actual Version is:
1.5.4.2 WWE
11/8/05
Radio 01.12.10
4.0.13.23
It connects quickly to the Blackberry Server but then disconnects.
I also am missing one of the Services (I have ALP,CHIME)
A colleague with a XDA 2 goy his working and he has 3 Services.

I have exactly the same question - which ROM would give us the #'s listed in the previous post?

The issue is the base ROM, I had to flash to a Tmobile Rom for the Tmobile Blackberry to work properly, I use Vodafone as the carrier but the corporate BES server as the Policy Push service. Vodafone will not let you set up a non VF device on their service hence having to use the Corporate BES server for email etc.. I dont need the VF service anyway

I tried the German Blackberry Connect software on both of my devices. One of them is a Qtek 9100 and the other is a Qtek 9090 (WM2003). I have a BES and a Blackberry 8700 for work.
I saw the same problem everyone else is seeing, in which the client will try to connect and then will disconnect and stay disconnected. I checked out the BES administrator and I confirmed that both clients have communicated with the BES because I was able to see each PIN associated with the Blackberry user in the admin tool.
I concur that the network settings for the client are hardcoded with Tmobile and probably will not work with any other carrier.
Anyone figure out a way to hack the client to set the network settings? Has anyone successfully registered their Blackberry Connect client using Cingular?

MDA VARIO III and Mobile TV

Hi Guys,
I've just recieved my T-mobile MDA Vario III in the UK and I'm trying to access/subscribe to the Sky Mobile TV. The option/URL is there in the preloaded favourites to access mobile TV, but I get a 404 error, I've got 3G & HSDPA access and I can browse the Internet. Anyone else had any luck?
I called T-mobile they said Mobile TV wasn't compaitable with the Vario III, but is with the VARIO II which seems strange.
Anyone help?
Cheers

I had the same problem, it seems that its locked to more than just the carrier/host ip maybe there is a browser tag and the vario 3 is giving the wrong tag?
Russ

Thanks DeathAce, do you still have the problem? I tried using Opera to avail anymore ideas?
Cheers.

UK T-mobile MDA Vario 3 questions

I may have to switch networks be cause of poor coverage so am considering the MDA Vario 3 from T-Mobile, I have also briefly tried the Trinity (HTC P3600 Vodafone) using a 3 Sim.
I have had a quick search but cant find the answers and time is running short to make the switch so please forgive me if I have not spent enough time looking.
The Questions are on T-Mobile it has no mention of Tomtom/Co-pilot satnav as being supplied built into Rom or otherwise on a card. Have looked at the HTC website manual and it appears that it can be used on internal Gps receiver and is installed via a Cab file.
The very poor T-Mobile manual only viewable on line seems awful.
So can someone confirm the UK T-Mobile version can be used either with software internally or from SD card and is not a cut down version with no Hardware Gps receiver built in
Have UK T-mobile slowed down and restricted its performance by there own additions requirements. Can this be overcome by flashing Rom etc.

The Vario III has the GPS receiver onboard but does not come with the TomTom trial (which the HTC Kaiser does).
The ROM itself is very close to the original HTC rom and there is not really anything taken out / added.

I can confirm that Tomtom works fully with the internal GPS on the Vario 3. Set tomtom to 'other NMEA GPS', rate to 4800 and COM4, and it works great!

MDA Vario III i am desperade

Hi all
I flashed to my kaiser Witschey 23071 and the fn+ buttons are on wrong places. I tryed Advanced Config, _Alex_ TyTN II Keyboard Fix.cab, Tilt keyboard fix.cab and still not working properly. Please give me a hint.
BTW its a very nice ROM

Hmm nobody?

Try the ROM specific thread
Try searching/posting in the thread where you found the ROM as it may be ROM (or MDA Vario III if the key arrangements are different to the standard TyTN II) specific.
