HTC-8900 Kaiser stock...any suggestions? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hello everyone
I have a HTC Kaiser with these specs...
WM 6 Professional
CE 5.2.1622 (build18128.0.4.4)
ROM ver 1.62.502.0
ROM date 1/17/08
Radio ver 1.27.14.09
Protocol ver 22.45.88.07H
Whats the latest ver of WM that will be compatible?
Any critical updates for security or make the phone run more efficent?
How can I make my signal for phone stronger?
Thanks,
DamianJP

There are MANY versions of WM 6.5 avaialblehere in the Upgrades/rom section.. look them over.. There may even be a WM 7 rom up by now.. Read about the diffrent roms to see what will work best for you... And you might want to find out what radio is best for your specific carrier, that might improve your signal strength....

Cool I didn't know if I was locked into this version.
I'll have to check the radio thing too.
Also this phone was given to me from a friend. I broke my old nokia but salvaged the SIM out of it. Works fine still have same number but none of the contacts swapped over.
I never really set anything up besides e-mail acct.
And I only access internet stuff with WiFi not media.net.
Do I have to set the SIM and/or phone up too?
Thanks again Teej,
DamianJP

Verizon Blue Angel - Rom Upgrade

hi everyone.
i have the 6600 from verizon. i would like to know where can i upgrade to the rom version that will eliminate the bluetooth headset problem. and possibly open up bluetooth to everything. if there is one out there, is it stable?
thanks
I would think that you need to apply the BT Patchs.
The problem is that I dont think anybody has seen Virizon exteneded rom. so its hard to see what you have and thus what you need.
Your device is has no sim so you will have to keep the Radio version that you have.
Your Device seems to show the same CE (windows version) as the rest of ours so there is not much point in upgrading that.
So the only thing that is left it the exteneded rom.
Can you upload it and one day some body in the rom kitchen can have a look at it.

quick rom question

Hi,
I've been using this forum for a while but think this is my first ever post!
I've been having problems with the search function today so decided its going to be quicker if someone can help me out.
I've never updated the rom on my wizard (which was on o2 but i unlocked and usign t-mobile uk sim now) though as im using push email the not vibrating when on standby thing is starting to piss me off.
Question is which rom do i need to fix that standby problem?
currently mine is on
rom version: 2.21.4.1 WWE
date 3/9/06
radio version 02.07.10
protocol version 413.1.03
extrom version 2.21.4.101
bit of a begginer with this so not sure if its g3 or g4 :S
thanks for any help
You can use my Molski.Biz roms.
Never heard that someone that uses my Rom has the same problem like you.
Regards,
Molski
have you tried going to settings, sounds and notifications, then tick the notifications tab at the bottom, under Event choose Messaging: New Email message then tick the option for vibrate?
dont know if this works while in standby or not, but know the option is there and turned off by default
yeah its set to make a sound and vibrate etc... which it does when its on, just in stand by it doesnt do it.
Heard about the problem before tbh which is how i know its a romproblem.
Just downloaded the t-mobile usa rom which imgonna give a blast, nothing to loose i guess
ahh had a go late last night and learned a few more things which if id spent longer reading the forum id have found out lol.
Right my phones a G4 and was an o2 uk phone.
First problem was it seems impossible to update a rom in vista as when it goes into bootloader mode vista disconnects from the phone. had a go with xp and got further.
Next problem is seems I can only use o2 uk roms presumably due to it being CID locked which am i right in thinking you have to pay to unlock?
Sooo if I want a nice new rom am I right in thinking im buggered? lol

Internal GPS

I have WM 6.1 Pro and tomtom navigator 6. I want to ask that is there any way i can make my built-in gps search faster for the satteline beside using quickgps? thank you
What exact ROM are you using? Early WM6.1 ROMs (those ported form other devices, before the official one came) had very long times to first fix (several minutes).
The current ones have normal times of about 30 seconds.
It's WM 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2 19214
I dont know if it is a current one or the one was ported.How do i know? i bought it as used

Is 'it' a HTC TyTN II, AT&T Tilt, Vodafone v1615, O2 XDA Stellar etc? If you bought it used, the previous owner may have changed the ROM or Radio/SPL through a process known as flashing. Does it all appear the same as whats shown in your manual for the device (or if you don't have the hardcopy, what is shown on the downloadable manual from the device provider)?
Check out the XDA-wiki pages if you're new to your device, it'll answer lots of questions you may otherwise be tempted to ask here needlessly. Newer WM 6.1 versions of HTC TyTN II ROMs (including the very latest UK released World Wide English - WWE one) have terrible GPS times to get a satellite lock when compared to the original WM 6.0 ROMs so if GPS functioning is important, for the mean-time until the ROM is fixed, you may want to have it reverted to an older ROM that works faster.
I never used to have problems then I sent my phone back for repair and they updated me to WM 6.1 which was the start of my GPS problems.
Anyway I've just set the external GPS to 9600 as suggest by CHfish and hey presto back to a fast fix. Don't set anything else on the external GPS as this can really bugger up your internal GPS.

reception lost in my room

Hey...so this is my story. i tried to figuere out if somebody got the same probs but couldnt find it anywhere so i am just asking all of you thanks...
SO here we go...
My Provider is E-plus and i live in Stuttgart (germany)
I got my HTC kaiser about 6 month ago and it always worked well and i didnt have any problems. I had reception everywhere (also in my room). The regular Windows mobil was installed i didnt change anything.neither the rom version nor the radio rom. so everything was how i got it in the beginning.
Then i have flashed the new version of Windows mobile 6.1 (downloaded from the HTC homepage,sorry i dont now the specific name and which radio version it was) but from that moment on my mobile phone didnt reciept in my room anymore. There was always the "!".
Then i have tried:
- to look for reciept manually (it found different providers but couldnt connect with those
- i ve tested my sim card with other phones and it worked
- i have tested different Roms and radio roms such as:
original rom
L26_KaiserDiamond_V9 (englisch)
Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700 (englisch)
German clean WM6.5◄ by ChrBeck (CHome)
- different radios such as:
KAISER Radios These Radios were ripped from Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs.
1.65.14.06
1.65.20.29
1.65.16.25
1.65.17.56
1.70.19.09 -
1.71.09.01 -
lots of 1.58.XXXXX and 1.64.XXXX
and even more
--> they all work while i am not in my room. but non of them worked in my room...and it did before.
then i decided to use the original version again which i did
i ve installed Rom:
CE OS 5.2.1620(Build18125.0.4.2)
1.56.407.3
Radiorom: 1.27.12.32
What happened now is that it shows that it got full reception but the phone still doesnt work in my room. but i can use the UMTS date transmission --> i can use the Internet
as soon as i am outside and soft reset the mobile phone it works perfectly.
i am not shure if i have listed everything that is important but if somebody could help me with that i would be pretty cool because a mobile which is just working half of the time isnt very usefull...
any ideas? thanks
Seems like your phone sees the signal seded by the Mobile Operator to you but it isn't able to send a signal back to tell the operator that it is there. Seems like something causes your internal Antenna of the phone to be not as powerfull as at the beginning. Maybe you installed a Radio that has lowered the power and no Radio will rise it again cause the radio things you are in a power restricted area.
In my Charmer I was able to get the power of the radio unit 10% up but the trick doesn't seem to work for the Kaiser. Maybe an user with more Kaiser knowlege can help you better.
Anything new in your room (or nearby) that might be causing interference?
thats what i thought first too...because i ve installed wireless power point...but i have deinstalled them in my room again and it didnt work neither

Tytn II on three network

I have just purchased off ebay this extreemly good phone, I was sick of my nokia e71 and fancied a change, I missed the touch screen of phones ive had in the past.
Question for everyone the firmware seems a little buggy and ive checked on htc;s website but any upgrades wont work with my serial number (the phone is original htc but with 3 software on it)
Does anyone else have this problem with their 3 mobile and has anyone on 3 upgraded the firmware to one of the 6.5 versions available and if so does all the settings still work after the upgrade.
Ive upgraded my last wm phone so im ok at doing it but what I dont want is to lose all settings and not be able to access the internet etc ..
cheers in advance - good to be back on xda site ... never again will I buy a nokia !!!
chris
All custom ROMs come with connection setup to which will setup 3 as carrier

cheers and thanks for the swift response
chris
You may be able to find an original 3 rom someplace ( there isn't one in the wiki ) or you can dump your own rom

But once you hardspl your phone to flash a custom rom, you will be able to flash anyone's stock rom, Vodaphone,Orange, T-Mobile...........

The Radio effects signal/gps fix/battery life and the outcome of which is best is very much varied by location.
The STICKY in ROM Development holds alot of valuable info from how to flash to Radios etc.
I have the Kaiser on 3. I have changed the ROM several times and the radio once. I have found that the signal is better on the radio I am using and the ROM's are brilliant. WM6.5 is great, just waiting for a stable wm6.5 with the new m2d v2 installed.
Wack one on and have some fun, just hardspl it first.

Yes will hard spl it ..... which radio did you put on ?
I did on my original tytn without the keyboard (cant remember the name of it) some of the roms I didnt like but always was rest assured that I could change the rom without risk cos of hard spl ...
which rom would you suggest ? do they have the connections setup on it so that I can set up sm/mms/internet access im not that bothered about planet 3 but need internet ...
im gonna risk rom upgrade cos the one ive got is horrendous , ive reset it several times ......
just wanna know which one you suggest ,....
Kaiser / Tytn II on Three
Hi
I picked up an Orange TytnII off ebay and after putting hard SPL on I have been using many roms fine on three UK
My favourite is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
although be sure to check out many of the other excellent roms on here, there is some real talented chef's, I also like the PDA corner roms
Regarding stock I used an orange UK stock rom that also changed the radio, read the instructions well on here as you'll want to make sure you hard reset, stock rom, stock radio, hard reset then 6.5 then radio then another hard reset just to make sure you clear everything.
Regarding radio you can try many different ones, again read the posts you'll find some just don't allow you to make / receive calls if they're not in line with the rom.
I think I have my current setup in my signature.
Also be sure to check out the posts with the iskoot client configured for three's free skype access, getting free MSN is a bit trickier and to be honest the java client is a bit flaky for my liking so I just use it out of my allowance !
pm me if you get stuck
Damian
I have been using this rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507281, found it to be very good.
The radio I have been using is 1710901 but you will have to try a few and see which one is the best for you.
Blinky
just to clarify
so the radio doesnt matter to the mobile phone supplier ..... as long as the radio and new firmware works together it will work on 3 .... ?
ive found a possible firmware but the radio has to be different so its gonna be both upgraded ... im just concerned as 3 software is so tied down that i dont wanna have a non working phone
ive upgraded before on a previous htc phone but didnt have to do radio upgrades .....

I too have an unlocked Orange Tytn II I got on orange contract and unlocked on day 1. Gave Orange sim to the missus and jumped over to three.
I have used a numbe of roms and radios, but currently use Shifu 19 WWE with radio 1.70.19.09. Works perfectly.
I reckon 3 is the perfect network in the UK for Tytn II as PAYG internet allowances are very good.
Its not as tied down as you think. I have the ISkoot WM client running using 3 connections for free calls etc and also SkypeManager running on home PC to get 100% free calls to all uk landlines too. Google SkypeManager.
Have fun!
success
well took the plunge this afternoon and hard spl'd, upgraded rom and radio how easy was that ... finally got a phone that doesnt crash and everything works superb ... settled for stylez black wwe with radio 1.70.19.09
superb thanks for all your help - very happy kaiser owner !!! ....
now I know how easy the process is im sure my firmware will change regularly all you rom makers superb keep up the good work
Dont forget to do the N95 spoof to get free MSN live usage on 3 network.
Ive been on 3 for a while now and think its great, signal isnt allways good where i live though, but what can you expect living at the bottom of the uk.
