wifi connection

With the new radio 1.13 installed on my pda2k the reconnecting issues seem to have faded. However, sometimes, after using the wifi connection, the gprs seems to have trouble (re)connecting. This is then solved with the ubiquitous soft reset. Nearly there...

PS to Bosjo furtheron: clean install, no restore with Sprite backup or whatsoever...

I upgraded to 1.13.00 and all is really good after 3 days of hard use. I did not do a restore,I went from a fresh PDA2K rom update and added the 1.13.00 to that.

I do have the wifi connect problem after using GPRS, but my signal strength is higher by at least 1 full bar,the bluetooth is clearer and the unit "finds" the bt headset much faster. Battery life is noticeably better,and the wifi works better too.(Except for the occasional failing to start prob) A soft reset fixes that tho.

It also helps if you put your GPRS settings in the default "My ISP" profile instead of creating a new one.

Hi,

I have a Qtek 9090 and found out that it's very anoying when using a bluetooth headset. It's the 3rd model I try and people that call me always complaint that there is an echo on their side (although I'm listening perfectly). The one I have now is the Nokia HS-11W, I like it's design and audio and battery life... but it's (almost) impossible to use.

I'm thinking that the radio upgrade might help. But, when I used the "GetDeviceData" prog, I got the following: "PH20B 0 B WWE E BRIGH001 1.40.00 0 0 1.40.148 1.12.00 12.00" and I can't find any "shipped" version to keep in case something goes wrong.

Can someone help me upgrading this without damaging my phone?

If you cant find a shipped version of your rom you have no backup.

However as you are updating the radio only you can always downgrade to 1.12 if you need to send it back to the shop for fixing.

The old radio versions are also posted in wiki as is the the new 1.13.

Your device has a problem with BT, that a fact, live with it, 1.13 seems to be better for some of us, others don't like it. Your choice.

sorry if this is too noobish of a question but I have been struggling with poor signal strength with my PDA2K on the USA Tmobile network.

When I got my imate, the ROM was the old one and I had to upgrade it to the latest one available on the clubimate site.....however the radio ROM is still at 1.12......if I do upgrade to the new 1.13, will it help alleviate the signal strength problem?(my PDA2K regularly keeps searching for a carrier signal where I usually used to get regular signals.)

The question of if the 1.12 radio is better or worse than the 1.13 has not realy been answered. Some think yes some no.

Hi to all,

A few days ago I bought a new T-Mobile MDA III, here in Zagreb,

Croatia. After unpacking and setting it up, my first step was to explore

the net and find out how strong is non-official support for my

new toy :-)

As I can see here, supporting is exellent, so today I decided to upgrade

my Radio ROM.

Here are all relevant data captured from my MDA III,

before updating Radio ROM:

Model No:	PH20B

Minor version Model No: 0 B

Language code: ENG G

Operator code: T-MOB006 (T-Mobile Croatia)

ROM Version: 1.06.00 ENG

Minor version: 0 0

Extended ROM version: 1.06.158 ENG

Radio Version: 1.00.00

Minor Version: 00.00

Protocol Version: 1.337.30

ROM date: 08/05/04

Updating was without any problem, but I haven't any

positive or negative report for a now.

Looking for suitable ENG ROM for updating,

because of outdated one (v1.06.00) in my MDA III.

Thanks for every hint.

Bye.

My personal experienece with this ROM in the USA on T-Mobile is that you are better off with the 1.13 radio. (I believe that MDAIIUser may have been refering to T-Mobile GER when he mentions the older radio..)

Can you give me some more info on your comment "my PDA2K regularly keeps searching for a carrier signal where I usually used to get regular signals."

Do you mean that it keeps searching for GPRS (the G with the two arrows) or for the actual carrier signal itself (the signal strength bars) This ROM does have some problems connecting with T-Mobile GPRS and Cingular in the USA, that can be overcome by downgrading the CallerID CAB to the oldr version. In general though, I have found the 1.13 radio to provide more stability and better battery life for this ROM

Using 1st WIKI's 1st method 'type_I_Ba_UPgradeUTil', I get "ERROR 103- ROM image not found".

Using 2nd method after downloading the correct SHIP ROM VERSION (ROM 1.40/ radio 1.12), replacing the radio_.nbf and deleting the 2 other .nbf files, I get "ERROR 123- radio image file checksum error".

Seems the 'radio_.nbf' file is corrupt? Whenever I replace the file in the ROM VErsiion file, I get the error.

Pls help
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
Hi Hasanj4

On you second method, are you using the MAUpdate utility¿ Also, you may be runnining into a radio type issue. I am not an expert, but I believe that the radio version is converted so that you can do a Radio only update. When I put the 1.13 radio version I found on wiki into the ROM folder to replace the 1.12radio, the update would not run. What I had to do was to download the Dutch ROM that has the 1.13 radio built in and extract the radio from there. Then I put the radio I extracted in the Asia ROM folder to replace the 1.12 radio and ran MAUdate. Does that make any sense?

Regards

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] dom89:
The checksum error is due to incorect dll version in the Baupgrade set.

Download from Wiki the correct one.

First I used the Baupgrade.exe and RUU.dll from the 1.40 version and I got checksum error. I then downloaded the Wiki RUU.DLL file and I could install the Radio.

Allways keep in mind that we are playing with so many different versions of files that this is one of the first reason of bugs, hangs, soft and hard reset and so on....

Hope this will help everyone having problem to upgrade or soft reset..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
In addition, I have always found the MAUpgrade utility to work well as it gets around the device id and country code issues you may get with installing a different carriers ROM on your device. Exactly as detailed in the wiki instructions, it will usually give you a fail first time, but if you simply leave the device in the cradle and launch MAUpgrade a second time it invariably works (unless you have a wrong file version as I did with the last radio I tried) Hope this helps also.

All the info on upgrading the Blue Angel is on the wiki site given at the top op this page. Here is the specific link to upgrading the Blue Angel:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade

There are currently 8 World Wide English (WWE) ROMS to choose from. Each person has their particular favorite, so try the i-mate, qtek and O2 asia ones and see which you prefer. You will see that there are 2 upgrade tools, BAUpgrade and MAUpgrade. Use the MAUpgrade method if the ROM you select is from a different manufacturer or country than you device is from. This method gets you over the country code and device id issues. Back up your devbice before starting and print put the upgrade instructions. Follow instructions carefully and you can't go wrong!
