How cheap are you going to let it go?! After all, if you sell it for too much you'll just feel bad over how you ripped the other guy off! LOL :D

Oh, I forgot to add another requirement that I had.

4. I needed to be able to use RFCons' Time Tracker MX QuickBooks Edition. http://www.rfcons.com/

If anyone deals with billing by the hour while out of the office, this software rocks. BIG HOWEVER...Since Microsoft took out Pocket Access in ActiveSync 4.x/WM5, there is a sync'ing issue of the database with which is still being dealt.

At first, I had a flickering problem when I installed this software with the timer running, but after the hard reset I mentioned in an earlier post, everything is perfect.

I rate JJ for 5/10 :(

it's a wonderful piece of H/W and full of features ... but still so far from being practical or even stable ... it lacks many simple features to be used as a phone ... only if it came with external LCD to display the caller and let the

external 2 phone buttons to light :evil:

As for the stability ... I 'm pretty sure of these problems will be solved by coming upgrades ... I can't live long with 2-3 soft resets a day

If u want to buy xda exec

its better to buy Dopod 900.

im using it now i tell meself lucky i didnt buy the exec.

look alike work much more stable then all xda product.

all xda products let me down.

When I had a JJ I gave it a rating of 6/10 overall.

Now I have an XDA Exec, my rating has increased to 8/10 (will never get higher because of the naff battery life).

Why this change? Well I discovered that the JJ and Exec are different.

1. On BT I don't get the problem of missed calls at all as was the case with the JJ and the BT signal is not as weak/directional as it was on the JJ

2. WM5 Media Player sounds better! I know I don't understand, but on the Exec my MP3s & WMAs (DRM) sound so much better and with improved volume

My conclusion is that the h/w and ROM of the Exec and JJ are different. Anyone have any teechnical information on the differences?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
Hi Jah,

HW wise the Universal is absolutely the same irrespective of which carrier you purchase it from. I have my sources (extremely credible)...

Each carrier modifies the ROM according to their needs. I haven't faced any problems similar to what you have mentioned, on my jasjar so i can't identify with them. However, all i can say is that O2 must have made some modifications to the ROM which has solved the problems you faced with the JJ.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
Regarding battery life, have you set your device to shut off after a period off inactivity? I have done this and i get atleast 2 days of battery life easily. I have read where some people mentioned that they are unable to receive calls and that an incoming sms sometimes freezes the device but i haven't experienced anything like that lately ( i did once quite sometime back but it could have been some 3rd party software).

I suggest you give it a go and post your results here :)

Cheers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@universaldoc

thanks for the info on the h/w. It does make sense to have the same h/w to keep the cost of manufacturing down. But I know the screens are different between the JJ and the Exec that I have owned. The JJ screen was "softer" to the touch overall while the touch screen of the Exec seems harder. Also I think the JJ screen was more "glossy" and therefore looked a little better.

Re: the battery. Well friend I use my Exec in the way I use my Nokia 9500 and my old Treo 650. And with my typical usage I struggle to get a days life from the battery. I will try the "suspend" option you suggested tomorrow for comparison. Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mab981:
Of those that are disappointed, how many have a generic JJ and how many have some network's customized device? I have an MDA Compact which was a pig when I bought it - to the extent that I was seriously thinking of getting rid of it. But before I did that, I did a hard reset and crowbarred off all the T-Mobile crud and now it is fantastic - is the JJ also being screwed by too much network customization?

Martin
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
As far as I know the majority of the JJ's are SIM Free (at least in the UK) and therefore don't have customisations.

However, the ROMs for the Qtek, Exec and JJ are different.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] apple_power:
It is rather a pants machine

dont get me wrong, the specs are great. Howver these do not equte into a enjoable user experiance. I am currently on my 3rd m5000 and 2nd o2 exec. As long as I use them as a basic phone no probs. WAnt to do anything much else, oh well forget it. My main issue is software and teh lack of support Orange you are a disgrace. I ahve not been able to sync any contacts on my m5000 what so ever. I ahve on my o2 exec. For my m5000, i have had to infared everything across from my other pdas. Ia m really considering now gettinga dell51v and using my old old buy trusty nokia.

I rate the design as 10/10, hardware 10/10, software 8/10 (due to some bugs), functionality 10/10, and phone features 7/10 (comparing it to a really dedicated phone). But all in all, I love it despite of some short comings. This is my first Pocket PC, I consider the phone feature as a bonus. I just hope that the HTC Universal will have updates and future similar design.

Love it! Internet-to-go with UMTS, phone, wifi, IR, BT, Windows. What else do you want? I only miss the calendar and contact hardware buttons on the screen's side which I got used to at the MDA2.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@universaldoc

friend, you're right. With the "suspend" option battery life has improved and I am now happy about using the Exec as my phone and PDA. Also unlike the JJ I had I have no problems with receiving calls and BT. So my rating goes from 6/10 to 8/10 to 9/10. Not 10/10 as M$ has done its typical trick of releasing faulty and in same cases incomplete s/w (e.g. PowerPoint viewer).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
Jah,

That's really good news.

I felt a little bit frustrated that you, as an 9500 owner, were not happy with this tool.

I personally think we need a second generation Jasjar ( somewhat lighter, faster, less battery consumption and with more stability.

I am surpirsed however. Having bought a new OS and a new hardware concept I was prepared on more problems than I actually have.

The most happy I am with the performing Word and Excel tools.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
My rating has to down again - I've had so many problems with memory management. Low RAM and memory leakage - this is not what you expect in a flagship device
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gaspx:
I am 8/10 happy with my XDA Exec.

If you're in two minds as to whether you should get one, then I say *don't*. You're only going to be disappointed. Wait another year or two for WM5 to mature, the software developers to produce all the cool and groovy software you want and for it to make the tea in the morning. (I can't be the only one waiting for a USB teasmaid ?!)

The apps I use on a day-to-day basis are now fully WM5 compatible, (Pocket Breeze/Magic Button/Resco Today Plugin & Explorer) coupled with Spb Time for Alarm notifications and apReminder+ to make reminders actually remind you, I have overcome all the problems I initially had and have a device that does everything I want and considerably more.

<Touching giant plank of wood>

It hasn't required a soft reset from a hung state for as long as I care to remember, never missed a call or SMS, ActiveSync worked first time and every time, and overall it has been solid as a rock since the day I took it out of that funky box.

The battery life has well exceeded my expectations and goes for 2 or 3 days without needing to be hooked up to a charger; although I'll be the first to admit that i'm not a power user trying to stream SkyTV off a hooky connection to Vodafone whilst travelling on a bus, but for every day calls, appointments/diary and an hour or two of Solitaire, the battery holds out very nicely indeed.

My only gripe is that my aging Bluetooth headset has a habit of unpairing, which although is a pain, compared to all the GOOD things this can do, I'm not complaining. Really. I'm not. I know its going to be fixed eventually, and the day it does, i'll be even happier with this device.

From the initial wow factor of seeing that blue keyboard light up when I first got it (11/10), to a low of finding out simple alarms/reminders were useless and the (understandably) general lack of WM5 aware software (4/10), back to my current high of 8/10 as developers start bringing out their wares for WM5 and workarounds (read: reg/rom hacks) are discovered by the gifted in these forums.

I'll rate it 9/10 when I buy a shiny Jabra BT800 headset and it pairs for as long as I want it to. And 10/10 when someone works out how to show Caller ID name on said headset! ;)

Just my two penneth.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gavinfabl:
Hmmm..

I give my Exec 8/10.

Loses 1 mark for not having a display on outside to see number , however I can open device and check, close and take call. I rang o2 and asked them to increase the time on the network the phone rings before cutting into voicemail etc.. That was the best thing I did.

Loses another 1 mark - need to soft reset twice a day to ensure sweet performance.

I have no other issues. Look forward to stereo bluetooth. I use the Exec as a real workhorse.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] alese:
I only have my Qtek 9000 for a week, but based on my still very early impressions I would give it 8/10.

It's not really usable as a phone - too big and heavy, no external display and missing real caller ID over bluetooth

But it can pass as a micro notebook, with real VGA enabled and some additional SW installed.

I still need to work out some kinks, like unmounting the storage card while in suspend - you just can't leave anything open that is on Storage card...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Er.. what do mean by this? This may be why I have so many problems with MS Reader with eBooks on my SD card. Never never had such problems with Symbian Smartphones. Surely this is basic technology and therefore M$ should know how to make it work. Really annoyed now!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] alese:
Well I never had a problem with this before too on my WM 2003 Himalaya (Qtek 2020), but it looks that WM 5 is somehow unmounting Storage Card while the unit is suspended (to save power?), which causes problems if you have program or file open on your Storage Card.

There is a Registry setting "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\PNPUnloadDelay" and "PNPWaitDelay" that could help with this but for now it does not work for me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Okay rating back to 6/10:

- using "suspend" to save battery life I have found I am missing calls!

- the "suspend" option also seems to cause a problem if you leave files on the SD card open, eg eBooks

- WM5 memory management is inconsistent. When I have 20MB free it tells me it can't load MS Reader!

(Pulls out hair)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] doody:
What happens when the SD card unmounts during suspend? Does the device hang when you turn it back on? Or does the file just get corrupted?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
I find that if I leave MS Reader running while I was reading an eBook stored onthe SD card when I re-start the device after about another 20 pages MS Reader is not able to access the eBook and I need to exit and sometimes reset to able to read the eBook. I assume WM5 is not handling SD memory "pointers" properly before and after suspend. I don't use suspend mode now and I have found a source for spare batteries so I wont feel too exposed when "on the road" on business.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] alese:
It does not hang, for me what happens is that if I have a Word file open in Text Maker (both the application and file are on storage card) application simply exists and I have to reopen the file - fortunatelly it never happened that file would be corrupted. Also if you have file explorer showing content on the storage card it reverts to the root.

I haven't tried the Reader yet, but Media Player behaves simillary as jah described - it resumes the paused track and after a a second or two gives an error.

However, I have tried yesterday something different. I have set the registry like this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\PNPUnloadDelay -> to 8192 (default is 4092)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\PNPWaitIODelay -> to 1 (default is 4092)

For me this setting works - try it if it works for you too.

bluetooth stereo and screen

everyone, i have got my dopod playing all sorts fof things successful. i.e., the bluetooth stereo headset. wow wonderful. it lasts hours (5 hours) playing music on it.

I have the web surfing, listening to music/radio, typing notes, drawing charts, playing AOE, star alliance etc on it. what more can you say with such nice screen.. Yes one thing, that is the ram and the speed. It's much slower than XDA II though. But I can live with it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] alese:
Re: bluetooth stereo and screen

How did you get the Bluetooth Stereo Headset to work? Do you have a new ACU2 ROM update with A2DP BT profile or is there a hack/trick that you can share?

I have Motorola HT820 BT headset and I was unsucessul in getting it to work.

About speed and RAM. I don't find them a problem, usually I don't even close applications with Magic Button and still don't have problems with memory and speed is anyway more perception than anything. Maybe it's a bit slower than my Qtek 2020, but it really depends on the situation and I don't use my Universal as a phone but as a notebook and for that is plenty fast.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] belfast-biker:
Re: bluetooth stereo and screen

Rated 10. Only had it a day though, will be interesting to compare with next week, next month....

Fabulous device - installed in Basic mode, as I wanted speed but am an O2 user, and didn't want to muck around with CAB files and ROMs just yet. Speed of screen rotation is nice, I'd heard scare stories of 6 seconds.... this is what pocket PC devices should have been like from the start.

Camera is most definitely better than my last device, an imate JAM. That was a nice surprise, but not as good as my K70i obviously. No matter, an Ixus40 is small enough to go everywhere with me.

So far, so good, an incredible device - Pairing with headset was flawless, even the voice-control app has worked 100% so far, may not need to instal the MS package at all. Wifi works, BT works, 3G works, GPRS works, email works, hotmail works, messenger works, MMS messaging works, it's rare for me to see so much work out of the box!

Update - also got streaming radio over wifi, full wifi/gprs terminal services remote pc access, video streaming over wifi on classic fm web page (!), net access/streaming of my pc video files... I'm gloriously happy!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Moandal:
Rating: 8/10. Not the best phone in the world, but definitely the best all-in-one gadget! Also works pretty well considering it's so new and running a new OS - not flawless but very good.

It's also encouraging to see O2 are updating and tweaking the ROM already and providing downloads on the web.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hazymat:
Functionality: 10/10

Ok admittedly I'm rating the whole experience on that last one - not just the Exec but the combination of WM5, the case design, and the general comparison to trusty old nokia phone.... but there it is!

SD card unmounting problem

on my jasjar i tried to do all registry settings last 2 weeks. Still it's terminating softwares after suspend. I red many things about it. I did every registry changes on it. But it's still same. Jasjar is not reliable for suspend with SD card.

Still i'm trying to correct this problem. It means -->

I am not using jasjar --> Jasjar is using me !!!

I have 4 gb sd card for nothing !!!

I am sorry I voted 1/10 because i couldn't find 0/10.

For me Jasjar is 800 usd trash can.

Still i am using my old i-mate xda-II. It doesn't unmount sdcard. It works great. But i need to transplant VGA screen to it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] matt1971:
Whilst I agree with you regarding the unmounting of SD cards. I have still used up 1.5gig of my 2gig card with music, navigation maps and other applications. The only restriction is not to leave any apps open that have been installed on or are using the SD card.

The Exec is an excellent device and thanks to these forums we work around little foibles/bugs/problems whatever.

You sure you need to keep open those apps installed on the SD card and if they are so important perhaps installing to main memory is better.

Hope this helps.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Hmm.. I rated 6/10. I would have rated 1/10 or 5/10 because its hardware is not good enough and its too bulky. But its hardware is good enough to support applications/games and run m$ windows and m$ office stably therefore i gave it a 6/10.

1 extra point for that. Whoever gave it 10/10 is pretty impressed of garbage.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pasan:
A solid 8/10

I like the device a lot. Considering the fact that it's foldable/rotatable and that it has a qwerty keyboard obviously means that some bulk is added to it. I like the hardware, although 128mb ram would've been nice, thats where one mark gets deducted. The other is the overall sluggishness. To me it's just a minor annoyance now as I've gotten used to it. But pure advantages it has over the competition is amazing. The keyboard is the most notable feature, texting is such a breeze and I rarely use the stylus now as I've gotten all the keyboard shortcuts down pat. And that VGA screen, it's nothing short of brilliant. I love how I can use Skype over wifi hotspots in the city while driving (audio routed to BT of course), not to mention check my email. There is one another gripe; the fact that I can no longer use activesync over wifi, but that is hardly a limitation of the device, thats M$'s own evil doing.

Is this an issue or is it normal? If its an issue, I just got the phone today, would this be covered under a warranty of some sort? (Its the blue variant)
