I Guys,
First of all this forum rulessss.....
I've upgraded my Himalaya (QTEK2020) with rom from Buzzdev.net:
http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,100/func,fileinfo/id,4/
After taking care of the initial TT5 problems: Backlight and crashes... It was up to a test drive. Everything works like a charm, but if i want to listen to mp3 while using the TT5, the sound breaks every 5 secs a return... Have you experienced this problem too...
Thanks
RR
Maybe it's a matter of CPU usage? Have you tried overclockingyour device?
I have a favor to ask you: could you send me your welcomehead.96.png located in your \Windows on your device? I'm looking to get the splash screen included in the 1.60c. Drop it here on the forum.

Afternoon all,
This seems an excellent place for a new XDA IIi owner to start things off! Please forgive me if I repeat anything or if I am posting in the wrong place, just let me know and I will gladly fix it.
I'm just at this stage trying to get used to the XDA and add value to it by means of software and customisation to the extent I did with my P900 and P910i which I have been using for the past 2 years. In some ways I'm finding it quite hard to get my head fully around the XDA IIi?! I actually started out with the IIs a couple of weeks ago but found it to be way too unstable and too much of a problem so I jumped over to the IIi. So far things have been better but I have a few "things" I would like to ask in the hope that someone can help me.
Erm.. where to start...
1. Ok, O2 branding, the O2 active stuff and the icon in the title bar. Can it be removed? Currently my O2 icon is just a blank whit square, it never displays properly and just makes the phone look, well, pants!
2. The headset supplied with the phone seems awful! I get lots of complaints about volume fluctuating. Does anyone else find this?
3. Can you actually just turn the phone off?? If so... how?
4. When listening to music, I cant put the phone into "sleep" mode, ie turn off the screen whilst still having the music play. Is there a way around this?
5. I use AAC music files too, I have Betaplayer which obvioulsy plays them but I cant make the phone recognise an AAC file and associate it with betaplayer... is this possible? Currently I have to open the player then open the file.
6. Firmware. Gulp.
I updated my P9xx's regularly, not without issue I suppose though! Do you guys recommend regular firmware updates?
Currently I have:
ROM Version 1.10.00 WWE
ROM date 12/24/04
Radio Version 1.00.00
Protocol Version 1337.39
ExtROM Version 1.10.124 WWE
Any advice on f/ware would be greatly appreciated. It can be such an ordeal but if its recommended I would like to do it really.
There are more things but maybe I should be quiet now and see if anyones got any comments!
Any help would be gratefully received and as soon as I get up to speed I will put back into this forum.
Thanks
Fronty.
1) The o2 branding software can easily be removed. I myself have wrtten a couple of replies to this sort of thing and so have others. If you do a search for "o2" "activeUI" "remove", you'll find the steps needed.
2) I've only used the headphones for using the phone once or twice apart from the first XDA I ever had. If you go to start > settings > system > Microphone AGC and enable the auto volume, this may help. Noone's complained about my voice being too quiet or fluctuations since I got an XDA2, never mind the 2i I have now.
3) If you tap the network signal strength, there is the option to "Turn on flight mode" - this is phone OFF. More indepth explanation of this is included in the manuals you should have with your phone. If not, I believe o2 do a .PDF you can download from www.o2.co.uk/xda
4) If you're using WMP10 then I know what you mean. On the XDA2 I used to be able to select the Contacts button as "screen off", but whenever I try this on WMP10 on the 2i it won't map the button. I prefer to use a third party program called Pocket Player 2 from Conduits (http://www.conduits.com/products/player/). It's fantastic, highly customisable and the only drawback is that it's not free. Well worth the money though. And you can turn off the screen and map other buttons during playback.
5) Can't help you on that one.
6) I always update mine once the official update from o2 comes out, though I must admit I've presently got one from the Australian o2 comparable i-Mate. It's a slightly more stable ROM but is sometimes tricky to install. There are instructions on these forums on doing it - I followed them myself. Currently there are NO official updates for you to upgrade to; you are on the most recent o2 ROM. You'll soon know when one exists, if not already from the http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft.html page.
Hope this helps, please post back if you need further help.
Cheers
Ant
Sorry to ask.
I'm returning from sometime, out of this "hobby" (we will see...)
Tried with search, but didn't get the conclusive answer I'm looking for.
Do you now if the phone 3 ring delay "characteristic" since WM5 is generally fixed in WM6 or if some of the ROMs available fix this by default?
Thanks
there is no 3 ring delay if u put ur ringtone file in windows/rings or my documents folder...if the mp3/ringtone file is present in the sd/mmc, ull get some delay
Ok! but this is an improvement from WM6, right!?
On WM5 you get always the delay either you have it on mp3/ringtone or in the sd/mm?
I know there is a patch for WM5, but it sounds quite complex and didn't work for me when I tried it...
I took the plunch 2 days ago and upgraded to WM6.
I'm so happy the delay is gone (together with many other things).
I also have copied ringtones to 'My Ringtones' on the device.
Also make sure to use WAV-files and not MP3 files.
But, that's the point.
As far as I remenber .WAV files also do not produce delay in WM5.
However I'd like to use some .mp3...
From what you wrote, I assume you still have the delay with .mp3 files on WM6!?
just convert them to .wav
They would become huge...
If you want to get rid of the delay have have to use WAV.
It's this or having delays....

the maximum time any network supports ringing for is 30 seconds, and for many the default is 15 seconds, just cut the wav file down to the first 15-30 seconds
I am not sure, if this will help you, dude, but tweaks2k2net has a built-in tweak that "disables 3s delay in Ringtone"...
since you can use the software as trial give it a try...

I confirm the delay still there in WM6.
Ive tried every possible solution from different forums on my HTC Athena without success
I didn't have the chance yet to try on my HTC Kaiser
Will update once done
Hello out there,
since WM6 is available for my Qtek 8310 I would like to update to WM6.
After a short look here in the board, I see a couple of threads "Release WM6 .... "...
My question now is; Which release I should take? In other words, which one is the "best" ?
Thanks in advance,
Kesa
You should consider these 2
Andot PEE or HTC Edition
Basically HTC Edition is based on Andot PEE with some HTC themes and stuffs only
please apologize my bad english
So the HTC Edition has more stuff ? this one ?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321408
If yes... there's written under "removed" "office mobile" and so on... but what if I want office mobile or for instance the windows wireless manager ?
office mobile is removed coz you can install it yourself via the cab file into the storage card, saving up space on your main memory, same applies to the remove stuffs
okey understood
Well... If I take the Andot PEE version, I can install by myself the apps I want? - and install the HTC Version's apps too ?
[GUIDE] Upgrading HTC Tornado to Windows Mobile 6
Karhoe's guide to convert a Tornado to WM6 can be found at :
http://karhoe.byethost33.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21
I used this wonderful guide to convert my T-Mobile SDA to WM6 last week and it worked like a champ. Everything went well. I had two minor hick-ups that I was able to resolve with research on this web site. As Karhoe pointed out the Office cab files are included in the "Extras" donwloaded and used at the end of the upgrade process. I'm very pleased with the WM6 upgrade.
Everything seemed to have gone well using andot's WM6 PEE, but after a few hours, my backlight on my phone starts behaving badly. I set the backlight to turn off after 30 seconds, but it will just basically turn itself off after about 5-6 seconds without any type of dimming before turning off.
If I go back to power management and set the backlight time to something else, that setting will stick for about a few hours, and back to the same backlight problems mentioned above.
Anyone else have this? I followed karhoe's tutorial exactly, and everything works well besides the backlight issue.
Thanks.

Exitao, thank you very much. That was exactly the problem I was having and the registry edit seemed to have fixed it.
i posted this over in the excalibur forum (i'm using an s620) but haven't gotten any response so i thought i'd post here as well as i'd really like to resolve this and i can't find any thread indicating similar problems.
i'm using an s620 smartphone (not pocket pc) and i get a stutter in my audio once every song (at a random point during playback). it's just a short stutter but it happens every song.
i've tried the latest htc rom and the lates rogers rom thinking it might have something to with that... but it's not as it happens with both roms.
i've also tried playing back from both the mem stick and the phone itself and it's the same either way.
i've also tried playing back with both wmp and tcpmp (or whatever that other one is called). same in either program.
i also tried loading some 128k files on there and get the same results. i was running 320k files before so thought maybe that was the problem. unfortunately not.
would really appreciate some help in this one.
thanks!
anyone? please?
On my samsung i600 the same thing happens when the display is set to timeout in Settings>Display>Homescreen>Timeout.
Set this to Never and try again
By not with every song.

No lag here - I tried WMP, CorePlayer and even the HTC stock player.
I tried it while browsing in Opera, File explorer and other applications.
I'm on 1.90.401.1 WWE
No mp3 lag here....
Yup!
Experienced this with both the Diamond and the Touch Pro while using CorePlayer and Wmplayer for mp3 playback...
It's not bad enough to be annoying tho!
Occurs very intermittenly!
many users noticed that it occurs every 5 minutes EXACTLY!!! very strange... pls keep posted your experiences..
I use the HTC today player during long times while jogging and I can confirm I havent had music lag....
What you talk about seems a background process/thread/service that execute some heavy but short task each 5 minutes. Maybe a cpu monitor can help you....
I had a lag on pocket tunes and now have switched to pocket player and now no lag.
I had no lag with the standard windows media player (just hate it)
By the way, I had a Omnia for a short time and that had terrible lag but great quality when it played !!
Ciao, D.
I have a lag problem on my TP.
I'll check if the problem is repetitive (every 5min you said? strange!) and let you know.
I've observed that if I'm listening CorePlayer Mp3 (128-256 doesn't matter) then any action required more time to be acomplished - generally TP performance are below level and starting to be annoing. But this is normal situation I suppose because mp3 decompression required processing time. The same when I'm starting additional application, sometimes music has a one sec lag. The same when I'm estabilishig connection for 3G or Edge.
Regards
B.
the lag is present without obvious performance load except MP3 playing which is in normal, doesnt matter what player you are using, advance task manager doesnt show any process which could make this laggy situation everything looks just fine and then after 5minutes skip and no special processor load at all...maybe you could provide any suggestion which process tracker could I use??? it should be process or just service...
I've had some annoying lafg on mp3 playback both with Mortplayer, TF3D player and coreplayer.
I've nevertheless noticed that the lag tends (often) to disapear when you turn on the TP and then back off (I repeat, most of the time, not 100% of the time).

Yeap, the small break issue is present on TP too, unfortunately. The break is about <=1/2sec. It happen even if I'm not using any application.
Using Lyrics Magic.
Same problem here with my TP, regardless which player i use. A small break every 4-5 minutes.
rom?
what roms are tp users using that are experiancing this problem? i have the same issue using the shipped rom on my htc fuze. im getting ready to flah a new rom, so im praying that somehow att bloatware is the culprit although unlikely.
Stock Sprint ROM here, sorry.
Some quick testing seems to indicate that Kinoma (Free)Play greatly reduces the incidence and severity of the glitches, can anyone else confirm?
From my experience it seems to happen when my reception isn't too great and the phone switches between HSDPA > E > G. Not only music but sometimes the entire OS starts to lag when it switches between the different signals.
H (3G) <---> E causes music to stop !
As behrouz sated, I also noticed the problem in low signal areas exactly when the phone switches from H (3G) <---> E and viceversa. Could it be a service that starts or turns off when this switch occurs? Anyways, I tried forcing WCDMA as the only network type under Band tab in Phone settings but then when Im in low signal areas I get no connection at all. Does someone knows a workarround? Any ideas?
glitch in airplane mode
I have the stock Sprint ROM and get a glitch (don't know how often) using TF3d player even on airplane mode.
i get huge lag but thats when im using bluetooth stereo
