Ops, I did't remember, in fact I have enabled power management! I've set it into Always Enable and the slider all the way down to Best Battery. That seems to bring the speed down to 2 Mbps when WiFi isn't used, but goes up to 54 Mbps as soon as you transfer lots of data.

I've done a test to verify if it's actually faster. I opened Opera on my Loox N560 and Flame, set both processors on the fastest setting (the N560 is 624 MHz so it has a little advantage), cleaned the Opera cache and opened a few large websites like Guru 3D. The Flame was always faster by between 10% in smaller websites and 20% in the larger websites. It also downloads files as fast as my desktop now, bur I need to do a few more tests in this area.

coming to the UK in 2 months?

I was looking online for insurance for the phone and i came across CUSC Ltd (http://www.cusc.co.uk/phones/why) and they worte back saying

"Thank you for your mobile phone/PDA insurance enquiry. Unfortunately we will not be insuring your particular model for at least another two months this is due to the XDA Flame just coming on to the UK market.

We are sorry we cannot be of service to you on this occasion.

Kind regards

Bug

New bug :

Sometimes the leds stop to function. The battery level stop to change. Even if I plug the Flame to the charger, the led do not change to red. Only one workaround, reset the Flame.

Remarks : Wifi was on.

Questions : Does somebody already have this type of behavior ?
[General Topics] igalan:
The LEDs work well here. But it may stop charging before the battery level shows 100%, however after a minute or so the battery level catches up and jumps to 100%.
[General Topics] leochan2005:
Can you try the following to see whether your Flame has the same behaviour as mine:

Sent some text sms, then do not close the program. Use carmera to take a mms picture and send, then the mms function is freezed and you need to soft reset....

Also, start a clean boot, take mms picture and send, if at the time of you sending mms, you receive a text sms, the Flame is freezed again.....

Is this a bug? Also, the Flame sometimes cannot turn on, but the green light is flashing... reset again :(
[General Topics] djuri:

first of all what version sktools have you got? i have 3.1.6.0 and when i open software i see the list of actions,such as clean up on top then optimize then tune up,i hit tune up,it gives me options going on side way scroll from left to right, first i see system memory and speed then system tweak and i see third one is "network" i hit that,it gives me another page says select an item in the list below then it tells you softreset is required to apply this setting!

then list starts from TCP WINDOW SIZE

then WLAN 802.11G SUPPORT

and thats set on "NO" you click on it and change it to "YES" click DONE and softreset your pda using its reset hole, then if you have opera browser or internet explorer etc open it and start using internet and give maybe 5 to 10 minutes,it should boost up speed.

what about qstarz gps? :)
[General Topics] jags1:
yes QstarZ has good reputation and its BT-Q818 model is a good/impressive new 32CH gps receiver and works well i do agree :) BUT

there is a 42CH very cool looking gps receiver running around in very reasonable price and what it says :

"The JRT 42 Channel series GPS receiver puts all competition behind. The extra 10 channels for higher sensitivity and satellite pickup offers much faster reception and TTFF for even the most metroplitan areas. Indoor Use is never a problem again

JRT 42 CHANNELS GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day"

so,

i have used 3 different latest gps receivers with flame and found "JRT42ch" MOST RELIABLE AND FAST,driving in city was no problem,i was right in the middle of melbourne city under huge buildings and tram lines,JRT had no problems with communications where other two were either very poor reception or completely lost at some parts and once they were lost they lost track in total even after waking up again,tomtom screen was spinning around and it was confused,JRT had enough (strong) reception and got me through with no confusions.and yes cold start is impressive too,just wakes up in very short time,i used eten built gps pdas,asus p535,htc x7500 and more,was never satisfied with built gps receivers,they were all too slow,then i started searching on external bluetooth gps receivers and finally found this one,

i would recommend "JRT" you might be able to pick one for around 60 bucks (AUD) included postage if lucky :)

Keep in mind, however, that

2. you'll want to prefer NetFront TP 3.4 007 as it has no trial restrictions and is vastly superior to 3.3.

See my related articles on both issues - for example, http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...s_new_version_of_opera_m&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 and http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2089&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 .

G900 vs Flame (cont)

Here are pics of the G900 and the Flame both looking at a website. If you hold the phone close to your face, (like the picture) you can see much more on the G900 and read it fine. These are both on HiRes at the smallest font

http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1001510476&size=o

http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1001510368&size=o

But if you hold the phones at arms length, (like how you would normally hold a PDA) you can still just read the Flame, but to get the same reading level on the G900 it has to go to medium, I can just make out out at smaller but have to struggle. So depending on your eyes you might do better, (though I have good eye-sight, no glasses etc)...

If you put the G900 to medium then it displays about 1 line less then the Flame at smallest.

I think you can see it in the pictures as well, but the G900 is a MUCH brighter display.

Hi, can anyone help me with these three problems:

1. I tried CoD2 demo and found that flame produces good graphic which proves that the GPU is really being used. The problem is, I seem to experience low frame rate. Display seems jumpy, etc. Is there any way to fix it?

2. When using the camera on the top of the screen, I also experience jumpy display. Any ideas?

3. When i bought flame, everytime I plug it to my PC, flame will automatically be able to connect to the internet through the PC. However, since I set-up GPRS on the flame, it always try to connect via GPRS. I want my flame to connect through my PC when plugged in. How do i do that?

[General Topics] CWKJ:
Mine is not using SKTool yet. It does not even have "TNETWLN1" in the "HKLM\Comm" directory. :D

Doing hard reset is not that difficult. Just backup all your stuff with,

1. Sprite Backup or other backups for the Registry (non readable), ROM & Apps.

2. Use Dotfred's PpcPimBackup to back all items in the Inboxes (SMS, POP3, MMS, etc), Contacts, Appointments, Speedial, etc

3. Use Totalcommander to backup Registry (readable)

4. Only problem is you have to setup all your emails manually (but write all the configuration down before Hard Reset).

5. And for people who use CeStar, restore from Sprite makes it still usable but in not so friendly way, so just uninstall CeStar and re-install.

Above may sounds difficult, but once backup done, can be restore within minutes. :D

Trend Micro Mobile Security

I asked Trend Micro if the O2 DXA Flame is supported by their Mobile

Security as it is not listed on their website. Also the Virus Signatures size.

Their reply.

"We cannot promise you a release date of the program version that will be compatible for your phone because this is a continuous update process. What you can just do is to check the list of supported phones on our website for more updates.

See the link below:

http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/security_solutions/cellphone_security.php?WT.cg_n=home_qa_MS

Some of the XDA 02 phones are already supported. This is a wild guess but the program may already support your phone model by the end of the year but we still do not guaranty this because this depends on the program builders.

Pattern size is around 620 kb."

hard reset

Hi Folks,

I pirchased my flame about 3 weeks ago and have played non stop getting it tweaked just the way I like, upgraded versions of all the software I had on my last ppc and so on. Loaded a hundred trials and chose the best match out of each, tweaked the registry.... and so on.

Well over all I was getting a little dissapointed, not quite as fast as I had hoped, took too long to turn on, lockups etc.

I decided to bite the bullet and lined up the installs of all the programs that I used along with their respective codes, backup done just in case but I was not going to do a restore, just a precaution.

Then with a deep breath I performed a hard reset and started installing, skinning and configuring just the way I liked it.

I am afraid that it made a HUGE difference. The flame now flies, power on takes milli-seconds rather than a second, screens fly open. I did do the tweaks as suggest by SKtoools (menu animation off etc) for performance as well as increasing the file system cache to 8M.

Looks like once you get a config you like it might be a worthwhile exercise to hard reset particularly if you have loaded and unloaded a heap of trial programs.

Terry.

P.S. does any flame owner use phonealarm from pocketmax, I can't get it to control the WIFI to save my life :-(

Would you comment if xda flame performs good, as it seems there is a lot of drawback discussed before. I am going to have one in Hong Kong. My requirements are just video, MP3, photos, pdf, word and few games. I won't use the bluetooth headset. It serves like a notebook, especially the plug-in usb keyboard.

Do you recommend xda flame? Thanks a lot!

:confused:
[General Topics] thierryb:
We all recommend the Flame for your usage. And in addition you will have a phone.

Concerning making photos, take d real camera. But sometimes photos are good with the Flame.
[General Topics] JamesManios:
I was running/trying both PhoneAlarm and PhoneSuite. Neither program can not turn on wifi (or bluetooth) on their own. You have to go into Wireless Manager and turn them on initially, from that point PhoneAlarm and PhoneSuite can turn them on and off. Problem is the phone turns off wifi everytime you reset, so you can use a mortscript (about 100 pages back there was one) that can turn both bluetooth and wifi on in the startup directory, but this might lead to other problems as it did for me.

It could be a combination of factors but I do a backup at 5:00am every night and a reset, I would then have the Flame turn on both bluetooth and wifi, and then phonealarm would change the profile to HOME and have wifi ON, and invariably about 50% of the time the phone would be locked up when I got up in the morning. Just removing the wifi auto-start fixed that and I never had a lockup (in the morning) again, but lost the wifi profiles ability :-(
[General Topics] djuri:
Photos are quite good but the flash LED should be stronger, I like that one on my girlfriend's SE W850i
[General Topics] terrym123:
Hi,

I did try turning bluetooth and WIfI on in wireless manager first, this helped phone weaver but did nothing for phonealarm.

A lot of people in the pda market are techies, and from this we tend to do a lot of research before we plop down the cash for a device. Conversly we are also early adopters, the Falme is a wonderfull device, but it does have some limitations at the moment and more than a couple of software bugs.

Given time all these should be resolved (where is our control panel for the graphics accelerator, I want to overclock :-))

Video is interesting at the moment, I am not sure that any program (including the built in windows media player) actually accsses the 5500. If they did then the video should play back at a much higher frame rate than it currently does. The 0.81 beta of tcpmp has an option to use GAPI to render but (I am still looking at this one) I think the video quality is not as good as when you use direct draw, which is much slower. Though this might be an artifact of the smoothing when zooming.

If the promised games eventuate (See list on nividia's website) and we start to see full use of the 5500 being made (And the current drivers rewritten, too slow at the moment) then the Flame will be very close to the top of the heap..

Probably most of the above depends on how many other manafacturuers chose the 5500, market = product.

Has anyone evaluated the ROM update on the Australian site yet? What do they mean by improved video quality for streaming????
