Obviuosly I have it!

I am confused, cause I don't know what to do, and time is running out(1 month for refund...), should i keep it, hoping for a new update, or sending it back, and waiting for real and mature super device?^??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mjames_84:
Hmm while you don't specifically state the problem here I think I may have one possible solution...if my hunch is correct.

When you connect a WM5.0 device using ActiveSync 4 Windows creates a Network Port for it.

Now Windows uses a series of Metrics for all networked devices, whichever device has the lowest metric becomes the default. It is possible that Windows is assigning a lower metric to your XDA's network device then your Wireless network, hence it picks that as your default device screwing up your wireless connection.

For more detailed information on metrics see this article

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg0405.mspx

You can however over-ride the default behavior.

Go to Start>Control Panel>Network Connections

Right click your wireless network connection and choose properties. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and then click the Properties button

From the properties window click the Advanced button

In the advanced settings window at the bottom there is a tickbox which says Automatic Metric. Untick this and assign it a number, say 20

Click ok and close all the windows till you get back to the Network Connections Window. Do the same for the network connection assigned to your XDA but assign it a HIGHER number then you did for the wireless connection.

Your wireless connection should now be the default!

If it doesn't work then you can just simply put things back as they were and everything will be ok :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Ohhhhhhhh, I see!

Well, if you return it for a refund you can always pick up a subsidised Exec or Pro later on for much less money, or you could stick with the JasJar and update as you go along.

Either way, you'll be waiting for a more mature device, just a matter of whether you want a less mature device while you wait, or no device at all?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trendystyle:
Well, as you might know, as you purchase a new device, there are always bacos, problem, or maybe bad firmware:

I prefer maybe to see, if in the next 4/6 month they will come out, with an improved Jasjar(at SW or HW level), maybe at a fair price, not at thieves price, that will allow me to do all the things I was doing normally with much cheaper and obsolete devices (like installing 3rd party applications, games, etc.), without rebooting every 20 minutes

I understand the post on the Treo 650, is by far much better delivering its mission, it goes smooth, never reboot, and cost the half!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
I can see where this is going, so lets just agree to disagree now, shall we? :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trendystyle:
Right!

It's a way of fact: TREO 650, at the moment works much better than the Jasjar: let's hope for the future!

1) Or I-mate solve a lot of problem

2) I will buy the new Treo 700, on Windows mobile 5.0

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] superbowl:
Maybe the Treo ist the much better device for you, because you seem to make plenty errors with the jasjar ... i have only one soft-reset in 14 days ... and i really use the jasjar very often.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
trendystyle, I'd try the P990 if I were you.

After all your comments about the JasJar, I'm surprised that you're even considering holding on to it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mosesJJ:
Well done, you summarized it in two simple words trendystyle.

Here is an ex-XDAII owner point for most people thinking of buying the JJ.

It all depends on your requirements,

1)

if you are a happy xda owner and wanting the keyboard so bad but weight matters for you then simply go for the K-Jam it has all of the features of WM2005 + wifi.

I place my bit on it being the next big thing after the original XDA.

2)

if you are like me and wanting all of the above + VGA + 3G/UTMS then you won't find anything better than JJ.

3)

if you are non of the above or maybe a palm or treo owner thinking of switching to PPC your best bit is K-Jam and not Treo700 and please spare me the tech. details. Till this date treo650 supports only 16K color display.

But really [for many reasons, most obvious will be the support being an ex-treo owner myself at least with HTC devices and in this forum. we have no problem with experimenting, upgrading them opposed to the closed "Open" palm platform and windows to be device ?]

But if you are non of the three listed above and just winning, please get used to it. there is no more WM2003 in the future.

For the rest of us early adopters will have to bare the consciences and wait for MS for ROM upgrades.

Thanks to all :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trendystyle:
The hope is the last to die....

Why I shoul try the p990? For its 2 MP camera?

I have 6 MP camera, from Canon, and I never use it...

Symbian(I have Nokia 6680, and Motorola A1000)? Much better Palm, so, I have TReo 650

Look, I have tried almost all the best phone on the market, I really love to have the latest gadget, P990 is nice, but nothing extremely new!

So, why you are telling me I should go on P990?

Because it' Sony, so it's sure that it will work fine, differently from Jasjar?

I am sure that if Sony, would have a Jasjar, or Universal project, they would never send it out at this state of the art...

But Sony has a name.... And a fame to preserve...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trendystyle:
Sigh!

I believe you are right...

But the fact is:

After deciding to send back the Jasjar, should I rely still on I-mate, buying the K-Jam???

UMTS in Italy is getting quite strong, I don't know, for a high end user as I am, if it would make sense, having a GPRS, only...

Maybe a QTEK version of the K-Jam!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trendystyle:
Plenty error?

Please explain how to make an error....

Let's be real, please...

This is unfair for the peopel that reads, to have an idea!

If I was someone else, reading my post, I'd never bought the Jasjar, overall at this price, is price valkue, for how it performs and for what it offers at the moment, is 400/500 U$, at that price, I would have not complained so hard!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Go for whatever you want, it was just a suggestion!

I've never really got on with Palm devices. Preferred Symbian myself, but I haven't seen any 3G Palm devices yet so I was suggesting what I thought was a fair substitute for your JasJar?

It's the only other smartphone I've seen that has the same sort of connectivity features as the Universal (WiFi, BT, 3G, etc) and as you clearly want to get away from HTC and Microsoft, I thought it may suit your needs?

I think I'll leave this topic to you. Again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mig31:
Sub69,

You're perfectly right, I wasn't really happy to return my Exec, but I spent the last 4 days on it and I basically sorted out very little.

I'm very happy you guys are not having very many problems with it, but I did. The 2 pieces of software I use the most are the tomtom 5 and my flight planning software. Without them I don't think it's worth changing my existing XDA.

I just wish as you said, that I discovered the xda-developers web site before I bought my Exec, instead of finding it only once I had problems with it.

I really love the machine and I'll try to keep up with reading this site, hoping for new ROM upgrades to become available ASAP.

But for the moment it was the best option for me.

I lost 4 days of my life on it and I wan't about to loose the remaining 10 before getting rid of it.

Thanks again for the comments and your help, I just wish I had asked for it before
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mig31:
Thanks for the comment Superbowl,

I'm very happy that your MDA is what you were looking for, but all I was trying to say is that this is not a "plug and play" piece of kit.

Easy to say that the tomtom 5 or my flight plannig software are not designed for this new window, but I still have on my laptop some program that were designed for Win 95 and 98 and they're running just fine.

I am using both of them programs on a daily basis and I don't think I can justify loosing them.

You said that you downloaded the WMP beta version and it works fine, I did download Core media player and it was fantastic, buy why the hell should I download these kind of upgrades when WM should work just fine?

It took the people on this forum 5 minutes to find out about the full screen fault on WMP. Why couldn't Microsoft find it before releasing the software?

I just think Microsoft is getting worst with time and it relies on people like you and me to test their programs more and more.

Anyway, happy your MDA is working fine, I'll just wait another 3-6 months to get my XDA-Exec, hoping for few more Rom upgrades to correct some of these problems.

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trendystyle:
I totally agree with you!

Some people comments, seems like we are cheating, or telling lies!

Sub or superbowl, why should I complain, if my Jasjar would work fine???

Do you think I like to have spent more than 1.000 euro, and feeling cheated?

Do you think that I love just to shoot at i-mate, or maybe I was expecting Jasjar, to be the ultimate ppc, as they promised with the announcement?

Don't you think, after such investment, I wish I could scream how good I was in choosing such a great device?

I am only objective, and upsetted by the underperforming Jasjar
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
From what I remember you're the only one who throws around accusations like that. All I've done is posted my experiences and suggested an alternative purchase for you.

I was happy to leave you to it in this thread, but then you go and accuse us (me?) of implying that you're a liar :evil:

For the record, I don't think there's any doubt that you've had a bad experience with your JasJar (after all, you've been going on about it for weeks), and I have never implied that you're a liar.

Bye bye
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] page3:
There are lots of things I am not happy about with the Exec, even compared to the iMate Jam which I had been using for the last year.

However, once I stop messing about with 'stuff' and actually use it for work I think it will fit in with what I need very well. I had to get a reply off to a client at short notice before 8am today - I sat on the train and wrote the document using Word and then emailed it off. The excellent keyboard and screen made this possible and for that reason alone I will be keeping the Exec. It has already got me out of a hole - and it wouldn't have been (easily) possible if I had only had the Jam with me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hrb:
You are right on this one. Even when installing ALL Programs on the SD Card, you just get about 23 Meg of Program Memory (but 37 Meg of Storage).

I hope sb comes up with a fix that this ratio can be changed, as it was possible with WM2K3se.

Besides that, I love my JJ very much

Cheers

My XDA Exec is going back too

Well my Exec is going back to the shop, after being told by O2 data support the unit had usb support i thought fantastic! I'll be able to use a usb ethernet connection to set up IP cameras and IP interface units connect a usb printer, external HDD etc. etc.

Actually after managing to locate the info on this site I found out this wasnt the case. The only thing the USB is for is for charging the unit and to synchronise...... thats useful then!!

This baby could have been so much more, the keyboard wasnt bad, not as good as the old Psion 5mx though now that was a very nice keyboard. Very nice VGA screen. Pretty fast processing as long as you ditched the O2 plug ins and ran it in corporate mode. But not a huge benefit from the XDA IIi which I have.

If you use a phone a lot as I do then I wouldnt recommend this unit unless you use it hands free. I have a sim in my XDA IIi just for GPRS and I use a seperate phone for calls.

But I wanted this unit with USB hosting I cannot believe HTC have manufactured this unit with no USB hosting, major mistake in my view the USB thread on this site is evidence of this.

Wasnt sure whether to go for the Asus 730 (with USB host) or go all the way and get a Tablet PC.

comments on the Universal

i'm noticing a trend here ...

a lot of people are getting the Universal but a lot of the users do not realize that the universal is really for a power user ... someone who would like something more than a camera phone but who don't want to lug around a laptop which as for me a great reason to buy this phone ...

i have been using both the sonyericsson p910i and the o2 xda 2s ... both are great smartphones but i like the xda 2s just for the mere reason i can use it for work more, i've been using it to connect with my exchange server and it works great .... the blackberry connect application runs great on both my p910 and xda 2s but it would be cool to get the XDA exec with blackberry connect ....

i think the universal is really designed for users on the go and have a good network infastructure which support the XDA Exec... ie Exchange Server SP2 ... or some system where the user utilizies wireless synchronization ...

i would stick to older models if they just want the usual PDA and phone functions ... i don't see the point someone upgrading to the Exec if they don't use the wireless synchronization and wireless connectivity at all ....

as for the treo 650, so many people praise this fone ... why so? .... i've set it up with so many clients of mine ... all with exchange server connectivity some with verizon's crappy system (i don't know why vodafone let make really weird add on apps) and using Palm's native connectivity to Exchange .... i still like the performance of my XDA 2s over the TREO 650 in terms of Exchange connectivity, speed ... and even just user experience .....

i think the best way to describe the XDA Exec, it has really been designed for the power user / business user ... if you are not either of these users, it would be better to stay with the higher end camera phones or the treo 650 ....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Can we just clear this up once and for all...

This can never happen, because the storage memory is now "persistant" and entirely in the ROM, and the program memory is now the only thing that uses the RAM.

Previously (WM2003SE and earlier) both storage and program memory used the RAM so you could alter the allocation depending on how you wanted to use your device but all your stored stuff was lost when the battery died.

Edit: just realised this is quite an old post, so you may have realised this by now...:oops:

Re: comments on the Universal

A few observations:

- M$ would not licence their Exchange connectivity to Palm, funny that

- The Universal is very difficult to use as a phone, that is why use my Treo 650 and XDA Exec together. The BT on the Universal needs to be improved before it can be used like the P9xx or even the Treo 650

- Have you seen PowerPoint on the Universal, its pretty unusable, so much for mini laptop

Don't get me wrong, I like my XDA Exec but having used a Palm LifeDrive, Nokia 9500, Treo 650, P9xx (both), PSP, etc I can see what HTC/M$ have done and where they still have a lot to learn from the best Smartphones

Exec Returned !!!

Hi Guys

I think to many of you are quick to condemn the bloke for returning his exec.

I personally think most of his comments are accurate given the MAJOR step up from any xda to the exec. WM5 is hardly easy for newbies to the PPC platform. I have owned most of the devices since the Xda 1 and whilst the universal is a terrific piece of kit the problems have been immense.

Before you all shout FOUL I am a convert to the new kid on the block but blimey what a journey.

Yes, it is a far superior device but come on chaps look at the forums(this one in particular) and you can hardly say owning the universal is a piece of cake. In fact if it wasnt for this forum I would have probably chucked mine out the window months ago.

I have finally conquered my MDA Pro(well almost) but not before time and yes I wouldn't swap it for any other pda phone which is currently available.

Size is obviously a problem but I guess the vast majority of this increase is down to the keyboard which I hardly use because I prefer the handwriting option. Maybe they could bring out another version minus the keyboard like the old treo 180 which had both keyboard and graffiti versions. Some of these new devices use a thumb pad keyboard which in my opinion is useless unless you want to type a limited amount of letters.

One thing that baffles me is the differences in the various roms available(tried all of them). Some seem slower in different areas but faster in others. I notice from another thread that our man Buzz is now testing a rom which now appears to have ironed out most the problems once and for all.

More software is becoming available so I guess this will make owning a WM 2003 version less desirable anyway.

Well thats my experience so long live the UNIVERSAL
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] megman:
there are some points here about the exec's limitations, but none of them would bring me to return mine. Yes it is big and heavy, I used to have an IIi and it is much bigger than that, but it still fits in my jeans pocket (maybe I have big pockets) and I don't notice the weight in a jacket.

Yes software does seem a bit limited, but there is not much for WM5 generally as it is fairly new and this is only a limited platform as almost every app works differently on different hardware.

It is not the greatest phone and the phone software is the only piece of software that regularly plays up on mine. Not sure how much is related to the phone and how much is O2 though. I know people who have similar problems with O2 and they do not have an exec.

great pluses for me are

the keyboard - I love it, so convienient for txt and email.

battery life - not like a mobile phone, but much better my old IIi

reliability - again much, much better than the IIi which I had to soft reset all the time. I have had my exec since November and I have probably only reset it a half dozen times and most of those were because I had been messing with it. Lastest O2 ROM where they have changed all their apps is finally worth having.

it does everything - I use mine for as a phone obviously, as an mp3 player when I am training, browsing the web and keeping upto date when out and about. I work as a consultant and being able to get my personal and work email when on a client site where it is often blocked is great. Plus all the other stuff that I don't use it for as I don't have the need at the moment.

Best device I have ever owned.
