Hi.
My cousin got me a Medion MD PPC 150 (MD95000) from germany.
Its a pocket PC with GPS. It doesnt have a phone. It has Windows mobile version 4.20.0 Build 14053, German Edition..
If someone is familiar with those products, can he pls provide me informations about How to flash it to English? This device has its cradle.
Thanks in advance.
hi!
try to googles the net my friend...maybe you can find some forum site for it...like this one: http://flits.desyde.nl/pls/flits/fl_newforum.messages?p_id=6200269 or this one: http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=106
thanks,

Here it is...

The thing is, I am afraid to try it because I'm not sure if it will install with English, and I don't read any other languages. Supposedly, the 8310 rom from the same site has a number of languages, including English, but I don't even have confirmation of that. Anyone willing to try and let us know?
ok, it works
well, I went ahead and tried it, and fortunately it works. default install is UK english, which I switched to US English so date/time/etc...are displayed in the manner to which I am accustomed.
The rom works beautifully. Reception blows away the SP5M rom, and something that I have never seen before...the EDGE icon works!
Re: ok, it works
I am about to install this ROM in my Qtek 8300, but first I want to know if it will give the choice of the SPANISH language. Can you check if this version has that option ?
Thank you.

spanish...
This ROM does have Spanish, but it is not listed as a 'language'. You have to select US English for language, and then under 'Locale', select spanish, Spanish, and whatever country you want (Argentina, Bolivia, Columbia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Equador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puero Rico, Uruguay, or Venezuela). Because it is not listed as a language, I am not sure if anything besides the date will come up in Spanish. Hope this helps.
Does this ROM have any advantages over the imate SP5m AKU2 rom? I'm currently using that rom but its still not quite "perfect"!

comparison w/ sp5m ROM
I tried the sp5m ROM on my qtek 8300. I didn't like it. I think that it has poor phone reception in weak areas, and the EDGE icon didn't work (not sure about connectivity because I don't actually use it yet). So, I think the qtek aku2 is better. It probably takes up more space because of all of the different languages, though.
I tried running the rom update but it always says "windows has encountered a problem..." and then closes quite quickly after it starts... is this because i have a non-brightpoint device? What should i do?
Aaagggh this is so annoying... can someone help please?
windows encountered problem...
This is not a brightpoint issue, if you used the ROM specified in the link. I installed on a unit purchased from MadMonkeyboys gadgets. Is your device app-unlocked and CID-unlocked?

dm251x, thanks for the ROM upgrade; it is much faster than the original and the SP5m ROM upgrade that I had installed previous to this one. The "E" works also.

Does anyone know if i can flash this firmware directly to my C600 with my JAMF dongle?
Thanks.
To answer my own question .. yes I can.
please help:Qtek8300 after Romupdate only in english,danish.
hello,
i udated my Qtek8300 with the rom from this link:
http://www.smartmobil.no/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=84
with the update i has nothing problems,...but THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS:
i can not working with english or other languages (norsk,france,ned,magyar,slovenish etc...)
i need: GERMAN- LANGUAGE
...please post a link or an uploadlink (i can`t use ftp..!) with the newest " QTEK8300 or iMate SP5m_AKU2-ROM" in german or WWE w. incl.german...
i´m found and downloaded a rom with this text:
200624819AKU2_8310_2090_253221_020900_Ship.exe
...but i dont now, is this rom for 8300 too and i have no language information..
I've updated my I-mate SP5m with Qtek 8300 and the phone is better than ever. I bought my phone second hand and the joystick has always been kinda fuc*ed up. The guy I bought it from did mention it, but it was getting more and more annoying. I had to push it hard especially downwards to get any reaction. And ofcourse I tought this was a hardware problem, I was even planning to have it repaired. But after changing to the Qtek firmware the joystick works just like it's supposed to. So if anyone else has problems with their I-mates, try changing the firmware.

I had the same problem on my QTEK 8300 with the Imate SP5M ROM update (from this site); joystick would "stick" on down push, had to push several times to get it to finally work; the latest QTEK ROM seems to fix that problem; it is faster overall; radio reception is better; and WiFi seems to connect faster also.
aku2 rom swedish
does anyone know of an aku2 rom in swedish?
mraxe, I installed this Qtek AKU2 ROM, and under Regional Settings, it has an option for Svenska (That is Swedish, isn't it?).
aku swedish
yes thats swedish
i wonder if just changing regional will make T9 work.
anyone know?
I changed the regional to Swedish, but T9 is still in English.
I upgrade for 8310. It works quite well but the shortcut hard button for contact and message change to IE and WM player. Any one help me to change to orignal. Thanks
Hello, I am have upgraded my imate SP5m device to WM6.
I have also upgrade the radio to WM6GSMUPDATE.zip.
My country is Costa Rica (code +506).
I think there is a bug in the GSM radio or WM6.
All my contacts have the +506 prefix in their number, when somebody with number +506XXXXXXX call me the phone detects the phone number as XXXXXXX and then the contact information cannot be found.
Is there something that I can tweak to fix this?
I didn't have this problem on WM5.
Regards,
Oscar
Try to see your regional settings
Another one from CR
Ocalvo, I'm in Costa Rica too, I sell and distribute HTC in CR. I have several customers that have the exact same problem, some of them have the +506 so when they are out of the country they can use international roaming or a sim from another carrier. People in other countries are also suffering from this, but if they never travel internationally, probably they won't even notice.
I haven't been able to fix the problem for months, been posting on every forum I can find, still no results.
Here is what I can contribute, the problem never happens on WM5, but it is not always present on WM6. We have a couple of models that have WM6 and dont have this problem, like the P3600 and the S630.
Our best selling phone has this problem and we haven't been able to solve it. All SMS come with the +506 attached to the beginning so it does not ID any messages, same happens with calls.
I have even flashed a P4350 that worked fine with WM5 and does not work with WM6, but I have an HTC S630 with WM6 that works perfectly. Barajeme eso!!!!
Well, I will continue to research this problem...
Regards,
Beeche
SOLVED
Ocalvo,
Modify the registry like this:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch and
hklm\security\phone\PBLookupMinPhoneNumberLength
change the value from 8 to 7 for Costa Rica
See, we have seven numbers to match before the International dailing code.
That will solve the problem, if you have any questions call me at the # that you have in your PM.

Beeche
Thanks Beeche

Thanks Beeche,
It worked for me.
I didn't know there was an HTC distributor in CR, way cool!!!!
Do you give support? I am getting tired of giving support for free for all my friends in with HTC phones/pocketPCs.
Do you have a store?
Do you have a store?
Store
Ocalvo,
Yes, we give support, we are located in Escazu, if you need anything you can call my office at 228-9800, I left my cell in a private message for you.
We carry all of HTC models and some E-Ten's. We give full support and warranty.

On the Australian/NZ page of TomTom's website I can find Australian maps but not the actual pocket pc software.
Am I missing something ?
Can any Aussie out there who has pruchased said software and maps please point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Dean
ps I'm using a dopod d810 and thinking of flashing to wm6 to use the gps

I believe you can purchase the software and maps from Organiser World in melbourne, check their website.
The official WM6 Rom from the HTC Members club works really well. A big improvement over WM5.
Hi,
I am a recent owner of a Touch Cruise, to replace my too big Athena.
On my X7500 I was using TomTom navigator 6 brought by HTC with a one-town demo map, that's why I bought France map on TomTom site.
So, yesterday I bought my Cruise in one of my phone operator's store, which is SFR in France. And my **#[email protected]* operator removed tomtom software because it has its own gps software (monthly costing about 15$).
I would like to find / download / buy only TomTom software, because I already have the map for it, but I don't find anyway o get it !
Even the TomTom software setup cab of my Athena's programs disc does not want to be installed on my Polaris...
May someone tell me how I could get a copy of TomTom executable only ?? (if possible in french)
Thanks by advance,
Waici.
(sorry for my bad english
I´m sorry, but you can´t buy the TomTom Navigator stand alone version. TomTom only sells it with a map package.
But you can install your for your old PDA activated TomTom version on your new Polaris, if half a year has gone after the activation on your old PDA.
Best reagrds
Lars
Seconded..
Thanks for your response, but as I said my Athena's version of TomTom does not want to be installed on the Polaris, saying that my ROM is in a wrong version : I suppose that the HTC TomTom exe installer is restricted to Athena ROMs

Well, yes and no.
If the operator removed the the software from the TC, the answer is no.
If the operator removed the CD as well, he removed some dedicated HTC software like backup and GRPS monitor which is on the Tomtom CD, the answer is yes
The good answer is Yes : the operator removed the CD containing TomTom software and Spb software... I only have the ActiveSync CD
Did you see my PM ?
I would like to see this PM also
can you send me too the TomTom Application for the Cruise?
it would be nice to get the pm as well cause im currently looking for it, thanks in advance.
