No Problems at all

Hi all.

Here are my 2 cts about the installing of this ROM.

First I downloaded the file.

After that I extracted the content with WinRAR.

I used ER2003Edit to call/load the *.nbf - files.

First the ms_.nbf

It asks first for the Password. Use 0x20040305.

ER2003Edit reports: error accessing image files

Never mind.

However, it shows up the details as follows:

Device Type: PH10

Operator: TMOBILE

Language: WWE

a.s.o.

Important (for me) are the a.m. details.

I changed them according to the ROM information I found by calling the

Program "HimaGetDeviceData.exe" which I copied to my XDAII and double-clicked on it.

Within the \Windows folder you find then the file "DeviceData.txt".

Copy it to your PC and open it with an HexEditor.

Then you will have the ROM Informations of your current ROM.

I changed the Operator from TMOBILE to O2 and Language from WWE to GER.

After that I saved the file, disregarding all error messages.

I followed up with the 2 other ROM Files, using 0x20040304 for the NK.nbf and 0x20040306 for the radio_.nbf file (Thanks to the instructions you can find at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/)

Finally I started the upgrade by double clicking HimaUpgradeUT.exe.

After +/- 30 minutes my XDAII was ready.

Now what I found using it after the upgrade.

Everything is working fine, at least for that Programs I used till now.

The speed increased. Especially using the ActiveSync'ing now is fast, I mean, really fast.

No errors found at all. BT working without problems, however I installed the BT tools "BTHTools".

I hope, this instructions will help all others avoiding the problems they had or would have.

If I will find any new informations I will post them here.

Good luck and bye

Chuck

P.S.: I found some postings which really set me up. I can't understand people starting ROM upgrades having no clue about what they do and not reading the forum postings. I upgraded my ROM's not only once and keeping the road map in mind I collected reading carefully this forum (btw: a BIG thank you, fellow Developers !) I never faced any problems.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yourmate:
hi,

I've recently upgraded to qtek 1.66, but as a tech minded could not have a rest since I spotted yesterday that new t-mobile 1.72 available on the forum:)

till read this topic the file downloaded all right. I've made the necessary changes (ID stuff) in er2003edit and started the process...

it started OK, so I went to bed - but get up early (about 5 a.m.) and checked it up: congratulations screen on pc, so happiness all around

since I use my_xda every day heavily, I did a very rude thing: I've restored the backup made previously with "old" 1.66 rom. (I know, I know - I will reinstall stuff tonight:)

from 5 a.m. I've got some time to check around, so a few comments:

after checking the config.txt on ext.rom you can see the command "CAB: \Extended_ROM\GPRSMonitor_WWE.sa.CAB" but sadly the cab is not present on the rom:) beta, right?

the attached truefax is not working, however if you download the very same (but trial) version from kse website, it does work: sends fax (at least to my to symantec winfax v10) I think you need data subscription with your sp to receive faxes. Please verify this info.

cheers,

clear type...

upgraded my mdaII successfully and really love the rom... just one thing... Cleat Type is really really bad :( is there any way to fix this?

Regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shadamehr:
Re: clear type...

As I mention often, the first question I ask of new ROM's and those that have tried them, is "What's the Cleartype like?"

It seems that only the O2 line of ROM's has a good Cleartype implementation, with lettering that is smooth and clear, without blue shadowing on dark text, and yellow shadowing on white text.

The T-Mobile, Q-tek, and Orange line of Cleartype is TERRIBLE and then some.

It's bad enough in normal use, but the lettering on the number keys in the dialler pad is almost unreadable.

So, if anyone else knows ofa way around this, can they let me know.

As clearly, this is a software issue, but is seems though that the coding for it is in the the standard ROM element of new ROMS, and not the extended ROM, which WOULD make it changeable...

Any info anyone?

Clear Type issue

well, not all T-Mobile roms have bad clear type, the previous rom i had was T-Mobile's 1.66.036 rom, and clear type was very good...

i don't quite understand why they released this rom with that terrible error, i know it's a beta version and that my mda2 is faster than ever... but this clear type problem is really pissing me off :x

Regards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gratefuled:
Is everyone having the same problem with the Clear type fonts?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [Krueger]Dr.Stein:
1.72.104

No complaints here. Clear Type rocks with 1.72.104 on my Xda II.

1.72.104 is a dream ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shadamehr:
Re: 1.72.104

How come mate?

As you can see even in this thread, everyone else using 1.72 ROM says Cleartype is the usual washed out, colour shadowed unclear version.

So how is yours different?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [Krueger]Dr.Stein:
Re: 1.72.104

I've been reading so much about Clear Type being screwy I didn't bother to even attempt to check mine.

But the other day a friend who was interested in getting an Xda II for himself test-drived mine.

An iPaq owner he was asked me why I didn't use Clear Type so I told him the whole story - not understanding Xda/HTC's a fussy machine he activated the Clear Type and reset my Xda II anyway.

The result was good so I've been using Clear Type eversince.

FYI :

My Xda II came with a yellow screen and I had it changed to a white one -I don't think it's a SONY as I've compared with other local owners who have even whiter and brighter ones.

Would a screenshot tell the difference Bro? I would gladly attached one if it does. Would you mind attaching yours for comparison please.

Re: No Problems at all

Hi

I also upgraded my MDA2 to this new ROM-> the device works pretty fine, it is faster than before and also the fax app is working for *sending* messages - I did not get it working also receiving fax messages on the MDA - BUT:

why did you change the language to GER? What was the effect after upgrading it???

Greetings from Austria

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shadamehr:
Re: 1.72.104

Not really, as the screen grab to pc would most likely look fine.

Only a REAL photo, with a macro mode, of the screen, would show this as it really is on the XDA2.

I can do exactly that with my 'good' cleartype, but there's no way I'd do a ROM upgrade to the poor version, just to show what I mean.

So I guess, reading your post, that the worry is, with you not having really used Cleartype before, you are not aware how to compare one with another.

Even a poor version of Cleartype might look 'good' to someone who had never tried Cleartype before.

And as panja and others who use Cleartype have confirmed along with mine, the 1.72 ROM is bad for Cleartype.

As much as the letters might seems smoother, with that version, black letters seem to exhibit a blue fringing to them, and white letters get a yellow cast or fringing to them.

On other ROM's, Cleartype is smooth, sharp, and doesn't suffer from hardly any 'colour fringing' etc.

Problems with this beta rom

Well here are a few problems I have found with this beta rom so far. The MMS does not funtion right. It will not let you download a MMS as it comes up with this message. "The message could not be downloaded because you are not on your home network. Check your preferences to allow message dowloading while roaming. :P Haha yeah right! This is a XDA II is unlocked. Blah! And, no the checkbox under options does not work!!! Second is the start menu items. You have to do a soft boot to see any changes you have made in there, either adding or deleting shortcuts. I am going back to the old xda II rom. As for it being faster, I would say negative. If people's older roms where slower it may just be the loaded up programs in the device itself. One thing that was nice the microphone AGC stays enabled after you set it and do a softboot! Try removing different programs under startup under the old rom, it runs nice! Halla back if you want any feedback! :D

1.72 going dead

I have also had serious problems with 1.72...specifically it has gone dead on me 3 times. I would like to download but am not sure how to do so. Can you suggest a link to good download advice within the forum? Thanks, A.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeoCole:
MMS Problem Solved

Yeah, I had the same problem, you need to go into the registry and change the entry (can't remember the entry exactly has to do with roaming) under Applications ArcSoft. I used resco's registry editor. This bug isn't with the rom, but it is with the application, because the checkbox for roaming doesn't work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] apap:
This sounds promising but can someone tell me specifically what to edit in the registry to overcome the problem.

Thanks, A.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LaserProUSA:
Hmmm, interesting so many people with so many problems. I myself have the TMobile MDA II device, based in the US, use TMobile as my provider, have the unlimited internet access plan and decided to do this upgrade. Not a single problem. Of interest is the following listing in my device information:

ROM version: 7.72.00WWE

ROM date: 03/15/04

Radio version: 1.12.00

Protocol version: 1337.21

ExtROM version: (this is blank for whatever reason)

So all went well, seems faster and more stable but the ExtROM is blank. Not a concern since I unhid the ExtROM, removed all entries and use it for data storage now. Since it is working flawlessly I don't worry about it.

I will also report that the Fax doesn't work and never got the MMS to work on the original 1.60 ROM version so don't know if my setup is wrong or just can't get it with my particular plan. I use the email extensively so I don't worry about it as I can do most via email that MMS provides.

I sold my Jabra BT200 bluetooth headset and want to get the newer BT250 or the not yet released BT500 and just want to know if anyone has had much success with the reliable bonding on this device with the Jabra headsets?

So other than the question above and odd blank entry of the ExtROM version all seems to be well. Still waiting for the Windows Mobile 2003 SE and my Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard then I will be set :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gratefuled:
I have the Jabra BT250, which works well with my T-Mobile MDA II. The 250 makes a big difference in the battery department (talk time and stand by). I use the BT Fix Utility, the most recent one out and it works great.

Have you seen BT improvement with the 1.72 ROM? I still have the 1.60.36 and with this ROM or previous ROMs I have always needed an add-on tool for use of proper BT.

What do you mean by the Ext. Rom being blank? If I'm not mistaken this has been the case with all previous ROM versions, and one must employ a tool to view the Ext. ROM Files. Is this the issue you wrote about?

Finally, I'm very pleased to here all went well for you with the upgrade. I do not like the 1.60.36 ROM. I have been waiting for T-Mobile Netherlands to come out with the 1.72 officially, but this does not seem to be happening.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LaserProUSA:
I am about to go pick up a BT250 and test the results with the new ROM installed. I also have the BT Tools installed as I don't know if this will be necessary or not. Will post the results later.

When going to Settings|System|Device Information the Item and Description are as I stated in the above posting:

Item Description

ROM version: 7.72.00WWE

ROM date: 03/15/04

Radio version: 1.12.00

Protocol version: 1337.21

ExtROM version:

Why the Item: Ext ROM version: has a Description: of absolutely nothing is what concerned me. I do have the Extended_ROM installed and use that space for applications after removing all the original entries. So since I don't have any issues at this time having that display a blank description I have chosen to ignore it for now.

BTW Overall I haven't seen any improvements in the Bluetooth stack and other than speed an stability everything seems to be the same.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordValen:
hi

Is there a way to create normal phone contacts that are not "google contacts" ?

It seems that in 4.2.2 you always have to have contacts linked to accounts, and therefore either create a google account or exchange email account...

And I also searched some time, but did not find a satisfying application that can backup contacts to excel and reinsert them... why always passing by google or sending it by email?

Is there maybe also an alternative contact application (compared to the standard android one)?

any help would be appreciated
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
Because syncing it with Google is the easier way including backup.

You can still save contacts on your phone or sim though and export to csv or whatever should be there no?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Striatum_bdr:
Go contacts can do this. Use local phone to store contacts only, export to csv format..

I recently purchased a lapdock 100 with the intention of using it as a monitor. I bought the female micro hdmi to hdmi adapter and the female to female hdmi adapter. From what I understand after this it should be plug and play, but it's not getting detected by any devices. Any help? Did I overlook a power button or something?
[General Accessories] crayz9000:
I believe there's some power logic inside the Lapdock that might be getting in the way. I'm not sure what you're trying to hook it up to, but this article on hooking a Raspberry Pi to a Lapdock 100 might help: http://rpidock.blogspot.com/2012/05/raspberry-pi-and-motorola-lapdock.html
[General Accessories] hajalie24:
Thanks for replying.

I got some more symptoms of my issue. I plugged it into my hdmi port on my desktop (Before I used my tablet and it didn't detect it) and my computer detects it, it's just the lapdock that doesn't want to turn on. However, occasionally I might see a red flash on the led, when this happens and I press the button, the display turns on! Unfortunately it only lasts for about 10 seconds before shutting off again, and from there I have to wait until the led decides to flash red once again to get 10 seconds more of screentime.

I decided to try something else. I got my micro hdmi female to micro hdmi male cable in the mail today. When I plug my phone into the usb port, the laptop automatically turns on. Unfortunately the display turns off still after about 10 seconds. If I close the lapdock and reopen it the screen will come on once again. So now I can actually decide when I can turn it on, but it's useless due to how long it lasts.

Do you think I just happened to get a bad laptop? I ordered it online at AT&T, I'm not sure if they even have an extra to replace for me, and I don't think Motorola does either.
[General Accessories] barminio:
The prevailing conclusion seems to be that Motorola has included some authentication logic in the newer Lapdocks to prevent exactly this. The old Atrix Lapdocks seem to work just fine as dumb HDMI displays, though. Rather a **** move from them, seeing as how they discontinued the program and my expensive Lapdock is currently a paperweight.
[General Accessories] Utamaru_Monster:
Try this one. Might answer your question http://www.robpol86.com/index.php/Atrix_Lapdock_Other_Uses
[General Accessories] hajalie24:
Seems like you're right. Since I missed my AT&T return window by one day I had to send it to Motorola because I thought there was an issue with it. Well I finally got it back today and it's the same lapdock, apparently nothing was wrong with it. Seems like I wasted $50
[General Accessories] hajalie24:
I got it working!

Looks like you need the usb part connected too. I had a female micro usb to male usb plugged into my phone from the start of all this but it didn't work, but I decided to spend $2 on a micro usb to usb converter and plugged it into my computer. The trackpad and keyboard works on my computer and the screen doesn't shut off after a couple of seconds!

Here's what I ordered (Mine came with a chunk of the plastic melted and scratched, so I'd recommend avoiding the retailer "likeelectronic Ship FM Hongkong")

I have been really wanting to try out a smart watch lately, they just seem so useful and fun. However there seems to be a big lack of support for Windows Phone 8. Has anyone been able to find one that works with our WP8? Below are some of the watches that I have checked out so far. Let me know if any have worked for you, or if you know of any others that claim to work with WP8.

Pebble

CooKoo

MetaWatch

Here are a couple others I have looked at...

Sony Smartwatch

I also know that there have been claims that Microsoft is looking into making a watch device. But hoping to get my hand on something a little sooner, cause that will be months and months from now. :p

SPP can be done by Devs themselves (the OS has no Support for it built in). But that isn't the big Problem. Third Party Apps can't access a lot of the Information that Smartwatches want to Display. They can't access e-mails or texts. They can't access phone calls.

So what Data exactlly would they transmit to the watch? Aside from that I'm currently hard pressed to see the Advantages of those watches, given that they can only work as a "slave" to a Smartphone with almost no functionality that they could provide on their own.
