Will there be a Pocket PC SE Upgrade ?

I really am a little confused as to whether 02 will be releasing an upgrade (Pocket PC SE) for the XDA II ?
There is lots of good information around regarding the IIs and IIb, but there is conflicting reports about whether 02 will realease an upgrade for all existing XDA II users.
Does anyone actually know?

October 2004, official rom 1.72 from O2, but still not sure...!!!
and i hope contain WM2003SE.
sorry,...

Even if o2 do not provide an upgrade, I've checked with Imate this week and they have confirmed that they are still planning an upgrade.
I'm also expecting that the new XDA II's will be so similar in terms of hardware that their ROM images will work on the original XDA II

i'm pretty sure that o2's 1.72 is not 2003SE at leas the 1.72 from imate and qtek are not

newbie ere.

hi all
im getting a new handset this week and dont know if to get the xda11i or the xda11s.

Just a Re
Hello bodge, maybe i'm not a master but i'll try to help you.
Actually IIi and IIs not same.... not only the keyboar but also the other hardware.
IIs : Camera (noy mega pixel yet, but pic quality better than IIi), the processor of IIs is similiar with II (Intel PXA 263 400MHz), quad band ROM 96Mb. SDRAM 128Mb, ofcourse keyboard, bloetooth v1.1
IIi : 1,3 Mpix camera 9but as i said the quality worst than all XDA), Processor Intel PXA 272 520MHz, tri band, ROM 128Mb, SDRAM 128Mb, no keyboard, bluetoth v1.2
I think IIi still better choise, but there will be a new gadget from XDA run with WM5... whoa.... now the question is: Buy IIi or wait.... XDA IV??? :?:

Hi cornelius
Thanks for the reply.
im due my upgrade end of this week so not sure if to wait for the new xda to come out in the uk? could be months or is it due to be soon?
If not looks like the xda11i is the one then.

It's Your Choise
I think XDA IV need more than a month to be released, right now the i think the best choise is IIi, don't worry about pic qualiy just waith for ROM update.... Anyway if you buy a new IIi, would you like to send o2 email (from their email contac) to ask about upgrade WM5 for IIi, because they need sufficient request for releasing that WM5.
Ok, have nice experience with your new gadget...

XDA Photo quality

i am running 2 different XDA's, IIs and IIi. The camera software on the IIi's is 2.70 and 2.21 on the IIs. The quality howver is much better on version 2.21. Does anyone know the reason for this?

Thanks for your reply...but to how much extent..do you see performance degradation ? Is it quite visible with normal operations...?

its not too bad, main problem is the lack of ram....but i think some newer tweaked roms solve that problem. i upgraded my housemates xda II for him and hes had no complaints-he's not a power user....however i am, and when i used it i dint really have any complaints either other than the RAM thing

Built-in camera app

Is there any camera application which can enable (auto or manual) focus settings? Anybody knows something about it?

The focus function is a hardware function, so its not limited by missing drivers/software.
That function is not available on the Mega and cannot be enabled.
Thank you

I too would like this and the ability to map the button to one of the volume keys. seriously i love my Touch 2 but even cheap phones have a better camera...

Am afraid you have to live with it....search XDA for "camera settings" and than you will see a fair number of articles which give some improvements (have read most of them) but in general HTC is not strong with camera's.......

I found an app called +Que Camera 4.0 for HTC phones but it wont install on the touch2, oh well. I can cope with a crappy camera, i guess....

Where did you find? Can you share?
Thanks

Thanks...., did not test the application (yet)....is kinda big. But from reading I learn that this does not improve the camera itself but you can more easily change settings and add some options like sports mode etc.....these can be changed aswell with "diamond tweak" , "advanced configuration tools" or "SK tools" etc.

Built in Camera
You can the magnifier button to zoom in & out while using the camera. It is not very useful, doesn't give much zoom but works.

Yes, Camera App 4.0 QVGA can not be installed in hTC Touch2. I tried it in several times and failed. I also looking for other way to improve camera because I am using "Penpower WorldCard Mobile". Touch2 Camera could not provide clear picture for recognition. Does anyone have improvement?

On XDA there are several threads on getting the max out of your camera by changing settings....search and try..but much improvement you will not get...

yes i do want to buy a device with a good flash and autofocus ... Mega is super nice and fast with programs but lacks on camera ... i'm on a crossway between ""Mind the gap !-> ht tp://www.gsmarena.com/lg_kc780-2542.php
and the ""Mind the gap !-> ht tp://www.gsmarena.com/lg_ku990_viewty-2070.php the price isnt that different
and umm about the HTC Mega cam ... anything new ?!

Ok mate, have fun and sent me a PM about your camera experiences.....

Camera App doesn't work

for better photos the best way is editing them with resco photo viewer or(and) spb imageer. don't try the impossible to take better photos with low quality cameras instead editing with propper tools. this is the best way.

no use even if u got focus cam is too ****ty to use , just buy a propa , panasonic or sony camm and enjoy ...
