Nobody knows. :(

The situation is quite deplorable really. Even non NFC model has got the update in only two markets. So it is anyone's guess when your friend's phone will get JB.

Hi guys, I wanted to know how I could do a port of a app.In this case the app is a system app. Please help me.

Ps: I want to make a theme of Samsung Galaxy S IV with accuweather widget. How can I do it? Please answer.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] skrillex13:
Its more difficult as it seems, cuz as I know the AccuWeather widget from S IV requires the S IVs launcher and some libs + an other apk as I know. For example take a look in the ehndroix s3 zip. Correct me if Im wrong.

Happy Brand New Year Y'all.

Listen. Just browsed the following pages at Expansys.com regarding the above. Can someone tell me what hardware differences there are between the two devices. I'll be damned if the Expansion Pack for I-Mate could not work with the XDAII. Check out the price difference!

BO SELLECTAR!!! :!:

I just rang them and they said they are 2 identical products but with different manufacturies (excuise my spelling) hence the different price, the Cheaper £82 inc VAT should be ready first week in Feb

wooh Bo Selcta got to Jamica great show, they are identical though quite a rip of and I dont belive for one moment they different manufactures just different boxes that HTC packaged them in
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] applecom:
when the rep said to me "different manufactures" i did say "do you mean from different airtime providers" he said "yeh yeh different manufactures" So i take it he had no idea the phone was sold in 2 formats but they are both the same.

So did anyone work out if the I-mate backpack fits & works on the XDAII?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Rudegar:
well since they are both HTC Himalaya

and the only difference between I-mate, xda2 and mda2

is a printet label on the device and custom rom

then unless they made some software block it would work

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] farnold:
Expansys, ey? Fact is that both are not available yet and in good Expansys tradition they list products for pre-order that they cannot deliver on - they just want you to place a pre-order and hope you will stick with it once the product becomes available... OK, prices on this path are just entirely wrong, but who cares about customers at Expansys anyway :lol:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] acurtis007:
Agree Frank

Have to agree, Frank - I notice you're a local ;). They should at least be stating accurately when a product is to be released and what the likely wait times are.

Not to mention the fact that the grey market of these products through Expansys just messes up the support channels here in Australia. We can't compete with a zero warranty, zero support product here!!! We've got to factor replacement, support and warranty costs - Real people, real families and real time...

It's hard enough supporting the issues in the current iMate lines (Like helping customers install Widcomm Bluetooth stacks to get GPS units and Navigation systems like Destinator working) - Now that O2 is looking like it'll pull out of Australia altogether now that the Telstra Australia deal pulled away from O2 to iMate (Carrier devices) ... It's going to be interesting what happens with the grey market for these products...

Carrier Devices won't touch a unit from outside Australia!

Cheers.

Has anyone tried a CF Wi-FI (802.11b) card with the expansion pack?

Do standard CF memory cards stick out a lot or are they flush when installed?

I'm thinking about an i-Mate or XDA-II but I'll need the expansion pack and the ability for Wi-FI (802.11b).

Thank you in advance for the help...

Someone has to actually get the Backpack before we can try it :wink:

I ordered one from a place that it was suggested actually had them in stock. I ordered, knowing full well of course that I'd get the "we apologize, but..." e-mail. And of course, a few hours later, I got that e-mail. They claim they had been told this week they would get them, now they are told next Wed Jan 28th. I'll believe it when I see a shipment tracking number. I think HTC has been saying "next week" for the Backpack since November.

I have a Socket CF WiFi card I've been dying to try. My Sandisk SD card works fine, but its a bit awkward the way it sticks out so far and the Socket CF card, with its small antenna, would not seem to extend beyond the edge of the XDA, according to the pictures I've seen of the CF slot on the Backpack.

HTC has handled their accessories very poorly IMO. I don't understand what the holdup is getting them out. The XDA II has been out for months now, but try and get even something as basic as a spare battery. At this rate, the XDA III will be out just as accessories for the XDA II are hitting stores :lol:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] jmbneaf:
OK - thanks.

I had not realized that the backpacks were not "shipping" yet. :oops:

Please keep us posted. :wink:

CF Backpack delivery date!

G'day All,

The CF backpack shipment here is due on Feb 21st 2004. ie. Another few weeks... That's the iMate branded one.. It'll be interesting to see if the O2 branded ones turn up first - But I DEFINITELY doubt it!!

Cheers

P.S. If you want one, http://estore.pressd.com in the Pocket PC Section.

Expansion Packs have arrived at expansis UK

I have cantacted Expansis and asked when they will have the expansion packs. They say in 4 working days (Monday in my reconing)

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=109731&asource=106055

They aslo said this is their second shipment as the first lot had run out.

I also noticed that the O2 version has now gone up in price from their previous listing and is very similar to the imate price. But you have to wait 40 days for it.

If anyone has tried it out yet let me know what you think.

Adam
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
Second shipment? I haven't heard of anyone yet who actually has one. Obviously, those people don't post here :wink:

Meanwhile, I (still) anxiously await the one I purchased from Ten n Toys that was supposed to be here this past Monday.

XDA2 Accessories

Check tekntoys.com, they have a full line of XDA2 accessories.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
Re: ordered it on tekntoys

That's what they told me about last Thursday :) I'm not holding my breath. I talked to them on Monday and the best they could tell me was that their shipment of XDA II's and accessories from the warehouse was "somewhere in North America". They couldn't tell me when mine was shipping for sure (though they did manage to charge my charge card several days ago with no problem). Their web site says that the XDA's are "going out (this) Tuesday. I think that means that their warehouse is shipping to them on Tuesday. Assuming that it only takes two days AND assuming they ship same day, it might go out Thursday. I upgraded to overnight, so theoretically it should come Friday, but as I said, I'm not holding my breath.

I don't fault Tek n Toys for the delay - that's HTC's fault. But Tek n Toy's communication sucks, you can't find out for sure what's going on :evil:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] mdkia:
Fico Dale (it's "cool" in Italian)!!! :D

This means that everybody works in the same way ...we cannot trust anybody! :evil:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
I'm an anxious sort who always overnight orders because I can't wait to get my new toys :D It is frustrating though when they keep telling you stuff, you get excited expecting it a certain day and it keeps not showing up.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
This just keeps getting funnier and funnier. I was expecting my backpack for the XDA II today or at the very latest, early next week. Now, Tek n Toys in Canada informs me that their shipment of iMates and accessories had been at JFK in NY earlier in the week and was "sent back" to London by Homeland Security, no explanation given. They are "hoping" to get them back next week - which means, if I'm lucky, I may get it the week after that. I ordered the thing more than three weeks ago under the assumption that it was in stock.

At this point, I am speechless about the multitude of f*ckups that have occurred at just about every level concerning these stupid accessories. If the above story is true, then the backpack must have been released into distribution by now - except that no one on the planet seems to actually have them. The XDA II has been out for months and HTC still can't get the accessories to mark. It's unbelievable :evil:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] mdkia:
DaleReeck I received the same email ...I'm really surprised how *all* these internet shops work! :evil:

ciao

marco
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
I didn't even get an email, I had to call them :evil:

Actually, not all internet shops are bad. When possible, I order stuff through MobilePlanet. They are not the cheapest, but they have huge stock, accurate stock info and ship the same day they get the order. Also, emails with tracking info automatically sent. Once, they sent me the wrong thing, I called them, and they overnighted same day the correct item and paid shipping on the return.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] mdkia:
here's the email i got dale:

____________________________________________________________

This email is to inform you that we do not have any confirmed information on the status of all three shipments coming into our distribution center. We have finally been in contact with www.aramex.com <http://www.aramex.com/> thanks to one of our clients who was able to pull phone numbers that we could not find. We have been attempting to track any confirmed information as to the locations of our shipments for the entire business day. We have heard three different stories regarding our three shipments.

1. On Wednesday we received an email from the Worldwide Distributor that our first shipment was at the JFK Airport in New York and was released from customs as of 10:02 a.m. Eastern time.

2. A plane carrying a shipment was diverted by Homeland Security and was forced to land at Heathrow Airport in England.

3. A shipment was never sent from Dubai due to weight restrictions.

All three sound beyond belief and we acknowledge this. Our information out to you is only as good as the information coming into us. We feel all your frustration and please understand having 400 units plus accessories lost in transit is a huge financial and emotional strain on our entire team. At this time we promised an email but we have still not received confirmation from Aramex. We are expecting an update tomorrow and hope to have further information for you at that time. As we are all gadget lovers ourselves we would love nothing more to have these devices shipped out to our clients immediately. Once again we apologize for this inconvenience and we appreciate your patience. Thank you.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
Thanks Marco. Hmmm. I'm not sure why #1 sounds unbelievable to them, that's what we would want. But those other two, I can't believe no one can tell them where their shipment is - something is strange there. All shipments have tracking numbers. Either there is one or there isn't.

If you get any more emails, please post them as I don't seem to be getting any information from them directly...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] mdkia:
Ok Dale, I will post any other mail (from them) here if/when I get them

ciao

marco

ps: I think btw that all the 3 answers are stupid ...you're right, they cannot not to know where their 400 units are ... :shock:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
Your email gave you those three possibilities, but they only told me about the shipment being sent back to London. I called them late that Friday, I wonder if they found out for sure that it was the London thing after they sent out your email.

If it's the London thing, actually I can believe it. Don't forget, we are in a place where flight attendants don't know the difference between a PDA phone being on or off and the PDA part only being on or off, not exactly a mind-blowing concept. I can imagine that some mid-level bureaucrat at Homeland Security in New York didn't kinow the difference between PDA parts and bomb parts. Terrorists slip through our borders every day, but at least they are keeping out those evil PDA's :evil:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
Interesting news. It seems that Tek n Toys first shipment of i-Mate PDA's and accessroies, $230,000 worth, was stolen during shipping. The carrier's insurance paid for it and two seperate shipments were due to arrive this week. The first 30 units of everything (PDA and accessory) is in the air from London was supposed to arrive this Tuesday or Wednesday, I forget which he said. The second shipment of 50 each would arrive at Tek n Toys on Thursday.

I got overnight shipping, so I'm hoping to get my Backpack by Friday this week :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] cmccarter:
But wait there's more!

In addition to all the above problems. My CC was charged over 2 weeks ago for my spare battery which apparently still hasn't shipped. They are pushing the limits of Fraud here.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
I mentioned to the guy I spoke to that my card was charged a week or more ago. He said that the credit card processing company was supposed to hold the charges, but processed them instead. Apparently, they aren't in a rush to fix that problem.

Other people have mentioned that Tek n Toys has been of decent reliability in the past so I'm not really worried about the early charge. But it's normally good form for companies to wait to charge until after they ship. I mean, what if I found another place that had the product sooner? Then we have to go through the pain of a return because of the early charge.

Hi

I have orded 5 backpacks fromO2 in the UK an di have been told that they are getting them in stock by 25th of Feb

So i will let you all know if they turn up

i've ordered an mda2 months ago with tek n toys when it was released.they charged my CC after 2 days and 2 weeks have past, no mda 2. i called them up and cancelled my order. what pisses me off is when they credited back the amount to my CC, its almost $50 less.i never argued about that since at that time, they still charge in canadian $ but their service sucks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] werb:
We have been hit hard with emails and phone calls of our valued customers who have been waiting patiently. There is nothing that would make our sales team happier than to have the devices shipped to you the end customer. This entire process has been hard on us all, both customer waiting patiently and our team.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
Yes, I'm getting the emails now :) I hadn't originally. Four times now in three weeks I've been told directly or indirectly that they were shipping. I don't care about the money or the credit card being charged early. I just want my damn backpack. It shouldn't be this hard and I really don't know what to say anymore.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] mdkia:
hey Dale ...i got this email today that reminds me about the backpack ...to tell you the truth i did forgot that i ordered it ... :shock:

He he :lol: I assure you I won't forget ;)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
Actually, I'm beginning to wonder, even if the stock for TnT comes in, whether the backpack will be part of it. I've been scouring the net and I cannot find a single shop or web site that has the backpack. Expansys is one of the larger places and they say multiple weeks yet waiting for stock. Nor has anyone on any forum said anything about them having a backpack, no online reviews, nothing.

I fear that next week I am going to get an email from TnT saying that they got their accessories in, but the backpack wasn't part of it. If the only reason that TnT has not delivered was because of massive shipping delays (starting three weeks ago), I would assume that other shops, who would have ordered at the same time as TnT did, would have gotten theirs on time, meaning they had them in stock two to three weeks already. But not a sign of the backpack anywhere. Nowhere to buy it, no one who says they have it. That makes me think they maybe HTC hasn't released it yet. Which would be inexcusable this level of incompetence from HTC in getting out these accessories. I can't imagine that HP would have put up with these kinds of manufacturing problems.

I was told a week or so ago by TnT that they had 30 backpacks coming in one shipment and had 31 backorders. Another 50 would follow a day or two later. I assume those are the shipments sitting in customs in New York. But TnT has had trouble lately getting out the correct information, so I am not holding my breath waiting for my shipment.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not really encouraged by the situation :(

Sorry to the rest of the forum for having to put up with my whining :) At first, getting the backpack wasn't a big deal, a nice accessory to have. But now, it's become a quest almost to get this stupid thing just for the principle of the matter :D
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] latitude:
HELLO...people HELLO....

Im laughing at the email that shipment has been in customs since October 9???? WHAT? 5 MONTHS?

Do yourself a favour order from another source or better yet wait another week get the same line, "oh next week, just shipping more to follow in a few days...sorry all sold out but more on the way"...then be convinced and cancel. Try and get your money back.

A suggestion is to launch a chargeback on your credit card before the time limit runs out or do it now to put some pressure on them.

Hello...really small guy in Calgary running this out of his home with no cash flow (thats why they charged right away to get the money to buy the goods) Got some sucess with his friendship with pocketpcthoughts but WAY OVER HIS HEAD.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
Since no one else has the backpack yet either (at least that I can find), I don't really lose anything to wait and see. Of course, if I can confirm stock somewhere else and TnT still hasn't shipped, I'm grabbing it. But, as I said, I've come up with zero everywhere else so far. Believe it or not, despite all the problems, TnT is still the closest I've come to getting that elusive backpack.

From those shipping numbers TnT posted earlier, two shipments from Dubai to TnT did exist, so there was a shipment, they aren't lying about that. What is happening with those mystery shipments at JFK and whatever that October thing is, I can't say. All I can do is wait until next week to see what happens.

Just got a call from Todd at Tek n Toys

FYI, I just got a call from Todd and he said the i-Mate XDA II's are in, but they came in with the European Plug. He gave me the choice to take this one today, or wait until the others arrive that are still in customs. So I'm just going to use an US/Euro Plug adaptor and they are going to ship it out TODAY !!! This has been a long wait for those of us who stuck it through with TnT ... He also said they upgraded all the shipments to next day air, since we've waited so long. It also sounds like they're not going to make any money on this deal.

Also, he said the Accessories are not in yet.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
Re: Just got a call from Todd at Tek n Toys

Of course not :) No big shock there. I paid extra for overnight shipping too. Glad to see that even though I waited as long as anyone, I had to pay extra for what everyone else is getting for free :evil:

FYI, I had gotten my XDA II from phones4dev.com about a month or so ago. They provided the Euro to North American plug for free.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] henny:
so has any one atchulley got their hands on a backpack yet?????
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] DaleReeck:
I've looked on several forums about the XDA II and I haven't seen a single example of anyone claiming they had a backpack or found a single place that had guaranteed stock of it or ever had stock of it. Right now, I really don't believe its out yet. Which makes me wonder about specifics that I was told about the shipments that TnT was expecting (they said they had backpacks in those shipments). I hope I'm wrong, but it just seems strange that the backpack seems invisible at this point. Usually, you would think that there would be some chatter about it somewhere.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] sublimatica:
Face it, Dale, you've been sold a pup. Just chill out and relax and wait for it to arrive. You seem real anxious about this damn backpack, like your life depended on it.
