Hi, Could I solicit some advice please?

I have an:

O2 32mb XDA I

with 3.17.03 ENG ROM

4.21.00 Stack.

What Rom & Stack should/could I upgrade to? Can I get one with WM2003 (even with 32MB)? I’m not a total pioneer and would like stability. Also where can I get the ROMs from? I have backed up 3.17.03 using XDA tools and I’m ready to have a go…

P.S. my phone is patched for sim free operation as I use it with a Virgin pay as you go sim (T-Mobile UK)

Regards

Harry.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] bbourke:
Harry,

No problem.

Use one of the rom kitchens, e.g. http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/

WM2003 works better on the XDA1 than the default PPC2002, even on 32 RAM.

There are also some nice features in 2003, like separate phone and pc volume controls, a mute button for the phone, etc.

Regards

Brendan

Thanks Brendan i will give it a go, what Rev of 2003 are you running ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] giliav:
Hi

I have a XDA I (with 64MB RAM) and I upgraded from the same kitchen above to Ver 4.01.16 ENG(lish) and it had been running stable on it since.

Seems to be a good and solid version altough it does have some uneeded (at least for me) T-Mobile additions.

Good luck!

Gilad.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Aegwyn11:
I've been using EE for a long time and decided to give the JB Sense mail app a shot. I tried to set up Gmail as an Exchange service (just as I did with EE) and it won't work. It appears that Google made it so that you can't use the Exchange service with new apps starting Jan 31st (unless you're on Windows Mobile, which is extended to July). Since EE was already set up, it continues to work.

I want to use Gmail as an Exchange service because of three reasons: push email, all email accounts in one app, and the Gmail app sucks.

My phone is rooted, unlocked, and s-off. Since I've got a functional Gmail Exchange connection via EE, is there any way to get it working with the Sense mail app?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Asovse1:
Only new users can't set up Exchange server settings on the JB Sense mail app. This applies to all clients. Existing users, in an effort to reduce inconvenience, will continue to be supported.

If you pay for GApps, this doesn't affect you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Aegwyn11:
I can set up my gmail account exchange style using Enhanced Email without any problem. I'm guessing it's because EE sends some kind of identifier to Google during account configuration that Google okays because I've been using EE for gmail (exchange style) for a long time. I'm assuming the sense mail app gets rejected because it's identifier is different and Google rejects it.

Assuming I'm right about the identifiers, is there any way to trick the sense mail app to use the same identifier as EE so that Google won't reject it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] valenciag:
I need this work around too. I want to use the stock email app not the weak GMAIL one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GroovyGeek:
The stock sense email app works perfectly with exchange, at least on ICS. I am not touching JB unless HTC or Google fixes the navigation crash. And since that will never happen I guess I will be using ICS until my contract runs out and I get a new phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Aegwyn11:
This thread isn't about the sense mail app working or not working. My corporate email (exchange) works just dandy. This thread is about Google disallowing the use of their exchange service for free accounts. If you've had gmail exchange working with the sense mail app in the recent past, it seems that Google will allow you to continue to use it (just as it allows me to use EE with gmail exchange because I've been using it in the recent past).

One way around this is to put up with IMAP.

Another way around this is to use the crap Gmail app.

Another way around this is to pay Google $50/year for Google Apps (that allows gmail echange use).

Another way is to jump ship on Gmail and use a different service that allows exchange (like Outlook.com).

I'm wondering if there is a way to have a fifth option (for me at least): have my sense mail app mimic my EE app to the point that Google will allow me to set up gmail exchange style.

None would work

It just vibrates and brings up the safemode

If you used xparts on locked bootloader then just keep on pressing the volume rockers and touch the Sony logo simultaneously. Then you will be into CWM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prob1em:
hi guys,

i've got a problem with my cam. when i take a photo, cam does take the action and in gallery there is a "photo" but the photo's just all in gray and cant open it. but i can use the camera to scan a barcode, to take videos sometimes... meanwhile the front camera works well

it may be caused by some problems when i flashed a different rom, i guess. but everything else works but camera.

i've tried to flash a lot of different roms, factory reset, wipe anything can be wiped, format internal, install other camera apps and radios.

still cant take photos

anyone can help here. or it 's sure to be a hardware problem?:eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
What roms have you tried. That was an issue with some of the earlier cm 10.1's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RK:
I have the exact same issue. Except in my case I can't take any videos. I asked around and no one was able to provide any insights.

The only thing I would recommend is a complete back to stock using odin. In my case, this did not fix the problem.

Next, I re flashed the camera firmware using a dial code in stock jb ROM. This did not fix my issue either.

So I concluded hardware problem.

Next, I ordered a replacement rear camera module. Took my phone apart and replaced the camera. This did not fix the problem either. So whatever hardware it is, it is outside the camera module.

At this point I have given up and am just gonna wait till my contract runs out..

If you find a fix, please let me know.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaemonAshra:
I'm asking because I've tried everything. The only Rom that has working GPS for me was Jelly Beans 12. And yes, I've tried flashing back to that room then flashing to the newest build. Doesn't work. I tried using apps like GPS status. That also doesn't work.

I'm at a complete loss at the moment. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
Silly question.... But are you using a case that may be the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaemonAshra:
Nope. Just plastic and TPU cases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
Any chance of flashing back to Stock to see if its a ROM issue or an internal antenna ? If you can determine if its hardware then Samsung Warranty / Verizon Extended Warranty will replace it w/o any money out of pocket.

That's the next step at this point. I'll try it tonight and see if it works

So I got this phone with a warrenty. the at&t Rep took my old phomlne rooted and flashed. he said they didnt care. So with that said if I rooted my s3 do I really need to worry about the warrent? Or should I just root it anyways? I really want to root because I want to tether.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
its surprising (and can i say unheard of?) that a carrier rep would take rooted device seeings how rooting voids the warranty. understand that you may possibly hear more back from your carrier about your device. also, i wouldn't expect this type of thing to happen again.

with that being said, i would root away ;)

in the event you begin having hardware issues and need to return the device, it is easy to unroot and return to stock. there are a lot of great ROMs on XDA that offer tethering. Cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayjayjoker2:
Yeah thats what I thought it was weird they wpuld just take it. But yeah I'm just going to root it thanks.

Also how do you root on stock?

And I have battery issues any help on that?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
there's a link in my signature that you can check out. it gets you setup from start to finish.

as far as your battery life goes, there are many variables involved that determine how long it lasts. if you many or all of the packaged samsung apps turned on as well as the gps, wifi, etc, you will see less battery. adjust screen brightness and app sync times. i'm sure you know all this. have you checked out better battery stats to see what all is absorbing juice?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayjayjoker2:
Well about Samsung stock apps. Your right they do take up most the battery...but since im rooting I will probably remove most of them. But the weird problem im having is when I unplug my phone after its been fully charged it drops to 98% and it just bugs me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
other stock features to disable are the motion and eye-tracking ones.

here's a link to an old i9300 thread by some dudes with the same issue. apparently its known and perhaps even intentional by samsung. i wouldnt know. i was only stock for the 5 minutes it took to root and flash a ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1724489
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
It's just reading battery level more accurately than you're used to. It doesn't charge to 100 and stay there. It gets there and lets it discharge to 95 or so and then charges it back up (if it's left on the charger after fully charging). Still says it's fully charged when you take it off and drops somewhat quickly to what it actually is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayjayjoker2:
I wanted to say that this was my previous phpne they took for in store credit
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
If you got store credit then this was not a warranty or insurance replacement. So I am guessing the phone you traded was out of warranty then. In this case, they are probably just going to flash to stock anyway to ensure everything is erased and it starts fresh as refurbished. Or they will recycle it so rooted is no big deal.

Sorry for repeated threads but i am stuck on this.

The procedure is -

Installing mySENSE-dx boot.img

Download the attached Boot.img_Installer_RC3.5.zip and extract it to your desktop

Boot into bootloader/fastboot mode

Connect your DX to PC

Open the Boot.img_Installer_RC3.5 folder and run the Install Boot.img.bat

If you can't understand the basic instructions, you may end up with a non-working DX ;)

The instructions are for installing/flashing boot.img to your device. For experience users they just do fastboot command but as I know there are a lot of new users like you... I made that instructions to help newbies.

Before you proceed, do you know what is bootloader and how to get there ?

If you did unlock your device, you should know.
[HTC Desire X] ShivaPower:
Yes, I unlocked it yesterday and also installed a custom recovery( cmw 6.15). Now i just need to flash a good ROM and i found this great because of full sense. I have downloaded both Mysense ROM and boot.IMG installer and extrated both of them on desktop as folders.

What should be the next steps to take. Please explain.
[HTC Desire X] mindlesSheep:
or try hansoons kit (its somewhere in original android development), it has nice gui and its working (especialy helpfull when your not experienced user)
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
I won't be responsible for something goes wrong ;)

Basic things in flashing ROMs

1. Put the downloaded ROM on your sdcard

2. Put your device is fastboot mode/bootloader where you see the word Fastboot USB in red when you connect your device to PC.

3. Flash the boot.img (follow the earlier written instruction)

4. Press power once, you'll be on hboot screen, select recovery

5. In recovery, install the ROM
[HTC Desire X] ShivaPower:
Yes i have hasoons kit. I flash the recovery through it. How to install above mentioned ROM through kit.
[HTC Desire X] mindlesSheep:
put rom.zip on sdcard (doesnt matter when, but at some stages on flashing rom, you wont be able to acces card via phone, so you would have to use some sdcard reader)

use "flash kernel" option in kit to flash boot.img

then boot into recovery (manualy, or via command in kit), make a backup (more important than it sounds), then wipe system and cache, then install zip which you put on sd card
[HTC Desire X] ShivaPower:
Sorry i dont have sdcard, any other way
[HTC Desire X] mindlesSheep:
Put it in phone internal memory then. Or use adb sideload in recovery as final step, but thats the harder option :)
[HTC Desire X] ShivaPower:
Thank You it was successfully done.

cheers.

Any help would be greatly recieved!!

Cheers Guys
[Networking] Rob_B:
Works fine for me mate..

Things to check.

1) XDAII Has an ip address assigned to it within the correct subnet for your home wifi.

2) XDAII Has the correct default gateway configured which will either be your wireless access router, or another type of router you have that provides internet access.

3) That your XDAII can see the network available to it through the start, setting, connections, connections, advanced, network card bit. Make sure that you actually tell it to connect to your network too. If you can't see it and you are sure the wifi card is installed ok, make sure that you have enabled SSID broadcast on your WAP.

Let us know how you get on.

Rgds,

Rob.

[Networking] joohan:
He means..

He means that your Wireless accesspoint should have broadcast SSID enabled. If you have not intentionaly disabled it, it is most likely that it is enabled and thus not the issue. Is your wireless WEP encrypted? If it is, did the Pocketpc ask you specifically for the WEP encryption key when it found your network?

----------------------------------

I am using a XDA II. Having received a faulty 'backpack', now replaced, I am still trying to get it to connect through a Sandisk CF Wi-Fi card to a D-Link 900+ AP hanging off an Intel router and my Linux server. In desperation I connected the CF card through a PCMICA adaptor into my notebook. After tweaking the 900+ AP (using v. 2.61 firmware), I found that it liked 64kb WEP, SSID on, Channel 11, Infrastructure (not Ad Hoc), and left on fully automatic so D-Link 650 Wi-Fi card in my notebook runs at 22 Mbps, and the Sandisk card at 11 Mbps.

But does it run in the XDA II you ask? Nope! I think that Sandisk's software leaves a lot to be desired. I am using vxIPConfig and vxUtil tools to see what is what ... but to no effect. I would gladly flick the Sandisk card now I know their software is lacking.

Any clues from other users?

Driving me nuts

Sorry not to actually come up with answers, but I thought you might gather some comfort from the fact that my XDA II/Sandisk combo is driving me nuts too. You are not alone....!

First thing I did was remove the pre-installed Socket wifi s/w and install the Sandisk stuff, but although my XDA can happily see my network, it will not log on no matter what I seem to do. :(

Am going to review some of the other helpful posts here and try the tips and will report back......!

Re: Driving me nuts

The CD-ROM that came with mine seems to have been designed for WinCE, and not Mobile Windows 2003 for the PPC. As a result I cannot get rid of the Sandisk 128M+WiFi CompactFlash Card settings from the 'Configure Network Adaptors' area. I have to go in via my PC and ActiveSync (3.7) and rename the two offending .dll files before the CD-ROM software removes the drivers. I manually delete the renamed .dll.old files from the XDA II.

Sandisk seem pretty useless. I let them know of these problems and the link they gave me was to the straight wireless LAN card ... That didn't work, so go figure!

I am told the Sockets drivers out of the UK are better (for basically the same card), however, their FTP site does not work .. some say it hasn't worked since April 2004. More useless information, except that their docs. leave Sandisk for dead!

I keep wondering what the so-called 'Zero Configuration' tools that are supposed to be part of Mobile Windows 2003 actually do? I just can't see why the Sandisk card works with my D-Link DWL-900AP+ (802.11b/g) and with my ancient Airport access points on my notebook, but not on the XDA II on the rare occasions that I get the blinking green light (very rare and I don't know why???). <sigh!>
