Buzz .. any chance for some dump ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
I presume that updating the ROM means that you lose all your data and basically have to start from scratch??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Moandal:
Updating the ROM would be like a hard reset, so you'd lose anything that wasn't backed up or on the storage card.

1 other difference in the ROM I've noticed it in the couple of hours I've had it: Error reporting and incoming beams are both turned off by default (not exactly a big deal, I know).

I've no idea if it has a blackberry client. How would I tell?

I've no need for bluetooth yet since the wife's got Tom Tom 5 under wraps until Christmas, but I've switched it on and will report back in 24 hours to see if it's switched itself off or not!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] doody:
Start dreaming up your wishlist for this update :D Less memory leaks, less freezes on SMS receipt, less notification queue problems, less SD card problems, push email, blackberry software, stereo bluetooth... anything else?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
LOL, true true - just sold my XDA2s on EBay (sadly for only £165) and I'm missing it already, just the speed, efficiency and streamlined operation is far superior to the Exec AT THE MOMENT.

I also think its ridiculous that you lose EVERYTHING when rom upgrading, imagine if upgrading to Windows Vista mean't you lost your personal data? It simply wouldn't happen so why do they believe PocketPC users should have to?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jeux_1:
Hi Moandal, could you tell me if when you right an email from the keyboard and press the "tab" button, does it actually jump from "from" to the "message" ?

:lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] doody:
jeux have you tried using the DOWN ARROW button?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jeux_1:
yeah, I tried no luck, couple of other guys in another threat got that issue and I did hard reset the phone still no luck.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Widhill:
Back after a while away from XDA's - Anyhow, I've had the XDA exec a week and after many freeeeeeeze ups i decided to change it. Went into O2 in Bristol today and they almost admitted that the exec's had a known issue! The guy told me a 'NEW' batch had arrived today and they had been told that they should be a much more stable unit.

Gone is the personal install option and the battery bar is now on the today screen. The unit has opperated all day with no lock ups and the screen refresh when changing aspect is almost instant!!! (i've got all the same apps running so it is a level playing field)

Not much eles is obvious, but like i said it just runs much better - if any of you out ther are still within O2's exchange period then i would get one from the 'New' batch.

I'll report more when i've had a good play around
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] doody:
Widhill, is the new batch a software/rom update only? Or were there hardware issues with the old batch?

I guess I doubt they would tell you that much detail.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Moandal:
Jeux_1: Sorry I can't answer the e-mail question since I've not got e-mail set up on my Exec yet.

I've had bluetooth switched on for almost 24 hours now and it's still not switched itself off (although I haven't actually used the bluetooth). I'm not sure if this proves the bluetooth problem is fixed or not since I've not experienced the bluetooth-switching-off problem myself.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Widhill:
Hi Doody, It would seem that the issue is with the software not the hardware - however that is only my opinion. The new Exec seems to still be holding up and no problems yet! I give it a good going over later tonight and see if i can get to go wrong (haha). I have noticed that the O2 active program is still there but only if you tap on it in programs. The only way to get rid of it was to choose the install type again (only takes 15 secs to change and its gone) The biggest difference is the screen refresh on changing from landscape to portrait - It's Instant (well almost).

So before everyone panics - i would guess we will see a new update from O2 very soon!!!

hi Moandal,

Jeux_1: I've set up email now and tab does take me from "from" to the message.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] salmon:
Hi Jeux_1,

I don't have an XDA Exec, but i don't think you need the ROM upgrade to solve your problem...

I was having the same problem with my JasJar but it was solved using one of the registry hacks in Tweakz 2k2.Net

It's the hack that relates to smooth scrolling in Pocket Internet Explorer... what you need to do, is to turn it off so that PIE scrolls by link to link instead...

After which you should notice that you can easily swap between To, cc, Subject and message body in your e-mail messages....

I hope you find it useful...

Take it easy...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] buzz_lightyear:
well...

- first you'll need a 128MB SD card.

- then make sure, you've backed up the whole content of SD and the Exec itself.

- start your Exec in bootloader mode.

- in PC ActiveSync Connection Settings, disable "Allow USB connections"

- connect USB cable

- start mtty and connect to \\\WCEUSB01\ or something like that

- press enter in mtty window to get "USB>" prompt

- type "d2s" without "" and press enter

In case, you'll get "Now allow operation" error message, i'll tell you another way.

THANX

I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but that's way above my expertise level. I've had the new Exec and the faulty one less than a week in total and I really don't feel comfortable about trying all that. It's my first XDA and I've no idea how to get into bootloader mode or what mtty is. I think I'd very quickly get into a situation I couldn't get out of and I'd have another dud Exec on my hands!

Please accept my apologies and I hope you understand why I feel unable to help. I'm sure either O2 will put the new ROM on their website soon, or someone else who's used to hacking into an Exec will get a new ROM version and help you all out. If it's any consolation, apart from the very minor differences I've listed, I really can't tell the difference between the new ROM and old. If you're hoping for big changes I think you'll be disappointed and you've probably got workarounds/fixes for most problems anyway.

Calling Buzz_lightyear - PLEASE HELP ME!

I decided to upgrade my exec to the the latest Rom from o2's web site

I followed the instructions carefully.

I ran the upgrade, it fetched the exec's current details, and told me it was going to upgrade to new version, i clicked next.

After a few seconds my exec screen turned off. Then about 1 minute later a pop up box appeared in the taskbar of win XP saying USB device not recognised, it has malfunctioned etc.

the ROM updating software then said the following:

ERROR 101: CONNECTION ERROR

Device software utility is having trouble connecting to your device.

Please Check.

1. Your device is properly connected to the USB cable or cradle.

2. Your USB cradle or cable is properly connected to your PC

3. Your device is turned on

Once you have done these, run this device software update utility again

well I cant turn my device on anymore, it seems this update utility has killed my exec.

The only thing I can do is a hard reset but if i press 0 or x it turns off again.

PLEASE HELP ME BUZZ, YOURE MY ONLY HOPE

ran software utility (rom upgrade) again

Try pressing the power button OFF. Wait a few seconds then press the power button to turn it ON. You need to run the install application again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Sirius-C:
One of the 1st things Ive noticed with this rom upgrade, is when auto installing from extended rom is finished (after a hard reset), one of the options has gone, now you are only presented with Basic & corporate

Im still checking the rest out, oh and start>settings>system>error reporting is disabled by default.

I dont install the o2 UI so i couldnt comment on any changes here

Not really worthy of updating in my opinion so far
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] modem_man:
Quick question:

Can anybody install the O2 Exec new Rom into a different branded Universal?

From what I've read, the O2 Exec, Jasjar, Qtek 9000 are all HTC Universal units. Would that mean that anybody should be able to install the O2 new Rom.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mydan:
I'm just at a loss as to why you'd be putting on O2 branded firmware anyway....

Sure it's a newer firmware, but any advantages you get are surely outweighed by the sheer nastiness of O2 everywhere.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] modem_man:
So O2s are nasty?

I thought that JasJars were the worse of all?

At least O2s get support in English.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Sirius-C:
with the o2 rom you can select "corporate" install and the bloatware isnt installed just the mms, sms, gprs connection settings etc, which can easily be changed.

BTW corporate password = 0506

From trawling the net this last week, im coming to the conslusion that o2 execs are the most stable and quickest of them all.

After upgrading the rom I can confirm that screen switching from/to landscape/portrait is a hell of a lot quicker
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tenzin:
Hello you all :D

Please can you tell me if the ROM v.113188 , on the FTP is the newer ROM, and what about the v. 1.13.82 WWE , at the head of this thread ????

Thanks, I would like to know before upgrading my O2 XDA Executive, actual ROM v. 1.13.48 WWE .
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Sirius-C:
The new ROM on the FTP will upgrade your exec to the following

ROM: 1.13.82 WWE

ROM date: 30/11/05

Radio: 1.04.02

Protocol: 42.37.P8

ExtROM version: 1.13.188 WWE

The actual ROM is 1.13.82 & the Extended ROM is 1.13.188, these are not different ROM upgrades, Its all part of the same package/update utility program, that will update your ROM & Extended ROM at the same time

Hi guys

Iv had an issue with my ROM upgrade,

With the new upgrade I can not now recive bluetooth files, I can send fine, when the device trying to send to me finds me and then tries to send we get the error message either bluetooth not supported or not allowed or failed to send, have tried with differnt handsets, i.e V3, sonnyericV800,

P910i, nokia 6230i,nokia 6680,nokia N70, W900I etc etc etc and a few others,

For some reason the ROM update has messed up incoming bluetooth feature,

and i know someone is going to try and suggest that I deactivate "authentication required and try again (have done that no joy) also Iv bonded the exec with other devices first and tested again, also failed,

I guess il have to downgrade back to the old ROM, O2 advised me that this ROM would fix the crackling issue I had with my BT800 headset, but instead its buggerd something else up,

If anyone has any suggestions Il be more then happy to give them a try.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with incoming Bluetooth files on the Xda Exec?

Il update you with what O2 tell me when they get back to me.

N2h

p.s its x-mas today and im working- BUT HEY im getting paid triple pay!! So cant complain;) lol

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Sirius-C:
I had this problem.

The new ROM turns off incoming beam, re-enable this and you shall receive files over bluetooth just fine

(its under start>settings>connections>beam), no need to pair or set up incoming com ports, just enable bluetooth on your exec, and "make my device discoverable" and also "accept all incoming beam requests"

Took me ages to figure this one out after pissing about with no end of coms ports :/

REMOVE THE STORAGE CARD BEFORE YOU UPGRADE!!

as previously posted my upgrade went a little pete tong!

after my exec's screen went off and the upgrade failed, apparently you can hard reset the exec, press 0 or x then plug back in the usb cable and run the upgrade again

but.....

I found that windows wouldnt recognize the exec when attached to usb cable, just said "found new hardware" then "unknown device" then "usb device not recognized/failure."

removing the storage card first before connecting with usb cable allowed windows to find the device without any usb failures then i ran the upgrade utility to a succesful completion.

Thought I'd share this one, after spending 3 hours panicking, trying to get my exec working again.

Hi,

I installed the new O2 ROM onto my Dopod 900 (have been on the lookout for a good english ROM - have not yet got my hands on an English Dopod ROM - any offers out there?) and this being the first O2 ROM I've tried found the O2 extras ugly.

However the first time I booted and saw the 3 sec warning that the device will be customised I did a soft boot which seem to bypass all this and gave a plain look, however I found that the dialer had no video call functionality.

When I installed the basic mode it did give me the video phone, but a whole heap of other junk.

I guess the question is, what is the process to have a plain setup with video phone. Is there a way I can just execute a .cab somewhere in the filepath?

Or do I need to extract the video cab from some nether region via a hack and run it?

Regards

Michael
