Hi Binu,

Some thoughts:

1 - Your battery got completely flat (no charge left on it, at all). Have you left your phone on the charger for a long time? Maybe it gets steady red after a big while. Or, get yourself an external generic battery charger. Or, rather try another battery on your phone.

2 - After you think your battery is fully charged, if it still doesn't turn on, try to hard reset it. There is a key combination for that. Information is on this same thread.

3 - You motherboard got fried. I don't know what to do here.

Hope you can sort your problems out.

Video call problem

Please advise
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] casouzaj:
Viideo calls issues are, in general, caused by telecom carriers.

If a video call button is available in your phone dialer, you can see '3G' or 'H' in your title bar, are trying to call (or be called by) someone who also happens to fulfill these conditions, and, yet, your video call attempts fail, the culprit is, most probably, your carrier. There must be some data, there in your profile, which might be preventing you from accessing this service.

Take your phone to one of your carrier's offices (or shops), and show them what's happening. Try to video-call (or be called by) one of their phones.

Just my 2 cents...

Cheers!

Hi Carlos,

I kept the unit on charge for a full night, but same situation, the unit is getting warmed , but wont turn ON. Hard resetting doesn't work.

I took it to the dealer, there they tried connecting the charger without battery n tried to switch ON. It didn't.

They said they will call me in a week. waiting, keeping the fingers crossed....

Hi Carlos,

The supplier called me (they could not repair my 9502, may be u r right about the mother board) and offered an exchange-another 9502- which I politely refused and went ahead with a Noika N 86.

How could a motherboard go bad in just few weeks, n I was very careful with the phone-- no upgrades, no third party software--only used it for basic telephony..

Any way its good bye to I mate...

Thanks a lot for all your help..

Cheers

Binu
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] casouzaj:
Well, I'm glad that, you, apparently, have selected a phone which seems to fit you needs (the N86). I think your 9502 was faulty from the start. Perhaps, if you had taken another one, you wouldn't face the same problems. Well, it is not exclusive to i-mate. It could happen to any manufacturer and model out there.

You see, I find the 9502, in general, a very tough machine. Its body is almost entirely made of metal. Worldwide 3G compatibility, VGA screen. Good (although really tiny) keyboard, etc, etc. I bought mine back in July '08. Already droped it to the ground a couple of times, and, yet, it's running fine. Well, despite all its virtues, I don't use mine anymore. It is taking a big rest now, waiting for the day something happens to my M900 (hopefully, never). :D

Cheers!

Imate Ultimate 9502 getting out of flash mode

Hi ,

I have only just flashed my Ultimate 9502 with version 6.1 on Vista and got stuck on the flash screen saying "please reconnect to pc and upgrade rom again" or something like that . I tried all the forums and the hard resets with no luck . Then I looked at the flash progrom itself and found at sends a soft reset out after different faults . I got on a XP machine and tried reflashing and found the "XPEUMAppliance" in task manager hanging up and "end task" the process . After this I ran the flash program again and it came up with an error that the decive is not synced . I pressed ok at the end error message and it shut the program and sent out a reset to the decive and booted as normal . I hope this is of some use to people with bricked phones . This only seems to work on XP and I don't advise flashing on Vista only XP .

Bye

Flashing a rom needs to fill up a Rom lockcode first. The first and most important step to do!

And also, cannot buy it anywhere as the rom lockcode is printed in the box + in user-guide document.

Request help in turning sounds back on in 8502

Dear (caro) Carlos and other collegues

I would need some help with my ultimate 8502. It is running wm61 v1.77.

As I was trying to enable/use voip, after a hard reset I installed PortSip. Initially the sound came from the speaker, so I then enabled "use earpiece", and since then the only way to use sound (mic and ear) is with a handset. I tried disabling the "use earpiece" option in portsip, soft reseted and so on, and still am stick with handset.

This happens for absolutely any programme, though my phone does ring (low) when anybody calls me. So any other programme cannot use sound.

I would like, if it possible, to keep Portsip. Perhaps there is any change that I should do in registry (where?) to solve the sound issue.

Thank you guys in advance,

Manuel
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] casouzaj:
Hi Manuel,

As far as I remember, my 9502 showed general problems, where all sounds simply disppeared, after using many Voip applications. I can't tell you if PortSip was one of them, but as you are reporting similar issues with it in your 8502, that's a strong indication, don't you think? However, whenever this problem appeared, a simple soft reset used to solve it.

I think fring does a better job handling sounds on i-mate's devices. Besides, it is able to handle BT headsets too. Give it a try.

You could also try the embedded Voip feature (the one which goes intergrated in the same phone dialer). You can find it in this thread (credits to destr0). In my 9502 it was not as smooth as in my present phone, the M900, but it worked.

Hope you are able to sort your problems out soon.

Can anyone give me the stock 6.0 9502 ROM?? I wan't to upgrade my dad's 9502 but he wouldn't wan't to do it unles there is a way to come back to 6.0
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] casouzaj:
I happen to have some files on my laptop. This ROM is WM6.0, but, unfortunately, in Italian. This one, on the other hand, is an old English ROM, but I'm not quite sure if is WM6.0. Go to 'Start > Settings > System Information > Version tab', and check if the beginning of the big number shown on 'OS Version' is '1.41'. If so, I believe this ROM would suit your needs.

You see, my old 9502 came with WM6.0 pre-installed, but, at the time I bought it, I recall having read many negative posts about it, and, as the leaked Telstra WM6.1 ROM was just made available, I decided to flash it with it on day 1. So, I never really used WM6.0 on my device. :)

Cheers!

Carlos
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mtiago:
Thanks (obrigado) Carlos

Thanks Carlos for the info on SIP on ultimate 8502. I had tried the destro0 pack before without success.

What happened with this PortSip was un unfortunate coincidence, that seems to affect some ultimates, that the ear jack got stuck. I noticed this after for another motive having to take the battery and SD card out, and after putting them back, without touching anything else, the earphone and speaker started working again.

Now I use PortSip, normally sound comes from the speaker, but if I plug the headset it comes out through there, so it's ok.

A colleague posted this solution in another forum:

http://www.expansys.es/ft.aspx?k=123036

"I just done a search on a similar problem. apparently there is a sticking issue with headphone socket once used. A solution was to remove the battery first, then with a paperclip try and reseat the socket connector. The headphone plug once used, keeps the system live on headphone use only. Sometimes the micro sd card can jam as well and the only tool is a paperclip."

Hi,

Hey guys, Long time member, but first time poster . I got some good news for you iMate users out there. I was able to get the new WM 6.1 ROMs for both the iMate Ultimate 8502 and 9502, though I was told these were still considered beta ROMs. They are for the Australian market I assume as the Telstra logo displays on the boot up.

Thanks

If I remember right, this Telstra ROM is v1.73, and came up back in July '08. In Novermber of that same year, i-mate release v1.77. Anyway, If anyone is interested, I have uploaded v1.77, for the i-mate 9502 phone, to this location. Unfortunately I don't have any ROMs for the 8502, though.

8502, expansys-usa, 6.1

I just bought the 8502 with 6.1 a few weeks ago off expansys-usa. First, great service from them.

Awesome phone for a 2-year old I must say, but recently my Windows key stopped functioning. I uninstalled all new apps, deleted my ActiveSync partnerships, deleted my gmail accounts... everything I could do to get it back to Day 0. Still no luck with the Win-key.

Any suggestions? Even where I can find the line in the registry would help, or a free app where I can assign a function to this win-key, i.e. not just the soft keys. Also, is there any other way other than a Hard Reset to remove a folder from the phone that I am trying to delete but gives a msg reading "unable to completely remove from device" --- ugh, this might have to do something with that Win-key =(

Thanks in advance - glad there are some active 8502 folks out there!

Flash from SD

Greetings fellow earthlings:cowboy:

I've acquired a 8502 and try as I might (reading through all 63 pages) on how to enter bootlaoder and hardware resetting, using all manner of timings holding keys, reset button etc can't get it to do either. Reason? Keep getting prompted to enter a PIN. Over the years I've owned just about every I-mate ever produced and experience has shown if the device has a PIN lock then Active Sync requires this to be entered before accessing the goodies on it. Funny thing is I can view all the files on the phone.

Tried to reflash via Active Sync but get the Error 203 - Connect fail message. I note that pressing the FN, Red phone button and resetting takes you into the "Easy Upgrade" menu which I assume is a way of reflashing the device via SD card. Pressing 'YES' reveals it's looking for a bunch of .mbn and .bin files. Anyone know where to find them? Thanks :)

a couple of niggly bugs in this ROM that I have:

2. when screen goes to sleep, it is in fact awake, just on very low brightness (and in low light you can see it flickering)

Otherwise its [finally] a very stable ROM for what is probably one of the most highly specified devices currently available.

I wouldnt however EVER buy an imate again after their totally useless after sales service, censoring of forums (but no surprise given where they are based) and the fact that they released a device with a ROM that basically didnt work.
