Hi,
I am using the 1.11 Rom. Unfortunately, my mdac's audio quality suffers from a kind of distortion. You almost cannot hear it, when somebody speaks soft, but as soon as it gets a little louder it is not very pleasing to the ears.
I tried to have it repaired, but they could not find anything.
So, I had the lady at the T-Mobile shop in my town make a test call.
She immediately noticed the distorted sound. We also changed the SIM to a new one, but it did not help.
So, finally, they would swap the thing toworrow.
But, as I stated....
So, is it possible at the moment to downgrade to a German ROM (T-Mob Germany or even better T-Mob Austria?)
I also want to add that my brother owns the same device, but he still has the German Rom, only the radio update to 1.05 was made...
Thanks for your answers and help, Günter
well, sure you can downgrade... no problem in doing that!
it's the same steps when upgrading but instead of upgrading the new rom use the old one.....!
the only problem is that it seems almost impossible to get an original T-Mobile ROM. But if you have a brother...
@pietrucci:
You mean, I can make an image of my brother's mdac's rom?
And then put it back on my mdac?
Is that possible?

Yes it is! You need ntrw.exe (v 2.0) and a sd-card. With the ntrw tool you can write your brothers ROM onto your computer (if you have a sister with a MDA, you can use that one too! I mean her MDA, not your sister herself ofcourse). And with the same ntrw tool you can make a bootable sd-card with this ROM. And then put it on the other machine. Look in this forum, there are several threads. For example, look at today's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=19500
@pietrucci:
Thank you (concerning my sister, unfortunately I don't have one).
I decided to go with my mda til the T-Mob Update which hopefully should be out in April (they didn't say 2005.)
It got a little better with my new SIM, and the guy in the shop allowed me to use his device, same ****ty audio quality (of course, he had no Radio Update :wink: )
So again, thank you very much
hello guys in the philippines. Where can i buy a replacement battery or even an original battery for my XDA II ? i tried all SM stores and found nothing. my XDA is useless now. battery life only good for 3 hours and it just drains like crazy. please help
don't loose hope yet!
check out JS Service center in Jollibee Plaza, Emerald Avenue, Ortigas Center, its on the 16th floor I think, been there last week. maybe they have one there. BTW, I'm using XDA Exec and they told me they don't support such model here in the Phil's so, if ever my unit's gone bad, its as good as trash for now until they'll finally offer service for such unit.
i see, thanks for that info. you've been there right? do you have any contact numbers of their office so that i can call first and ask if they have ready stocks available so that my trip wont be wasted if ever they dont carry o2 batteries. thanks
battery
hello.. i am also looking for xda2 batteries.. but I am not in a rush to buy so it's not my first priority.. i just post this message because it so happen that i have seen maybe a couple of store here in my place.. i live in Alabang Muntinlupa.. the first store which i hope is still there is the CDR-King i think on the 3rd floor of Alabang Town Center.. though i haven't ask if all CDR King stores were able to stock that thing. the second is from SM Southmall in Las Pinas city.. 3rd floor also... just can't remember the store name but i am sure it's still there.. anyway.. apology if i can't give their contact numbers.. hope it can help u..
BTW, just wanna ask if you know the answer to my BT problem, i can send files via BT but can't receive any though i have checked the "receive all incoming beams" box.. also i have already formatted my phone and tried again but still no luck.. it was OK before but now i don't know what happen... is upgrading ROM really solve this?.. i am using 2003 OS with 1.66 ROM... will u by any chance to send me your upgraded ROM file for me to upgrade mine?.. thanks and have a nice day
thanks for the info. i didnt know that CDR-king is selling replacement batteries, anyway, i'l check if i dropped by any branch.
about your problem, you can send but cant receive.. these sometimes happen but its not the problem of the XDA but the problem of the other side sending. cause it happend to me before, i turned on the bluetooth and the receive all incoming beams, but i cant received the pictures that my friend was sending me.. anyway his phone is a SE K800, i think he got the settings wrong in his phone, but later he changed it and i already can receive the pictures he was sending to me without me altering any settings with my XDAII. so i think it just a configuration problem, anyway im using WM2003SE from buzzdev and have no problems with BT. HTH
hi
thanks for that.. but sad to say... all phones i tried to use to send me files via BT are not successfully done. i have also tried to use another xda2 to send me files but still no luck.. if it is not too much, will u please send me the direct link of the ROM upgrade you had downloaded on buzzdev.. i have already browsed the site but still confuse what to donwload.. and also if i have upgraded my OS, will my installed programs and settings to my phone which has been backup before will still be OK if i have restore it after the upgrade? thanks and hope i didn't give you much burden.. thanks!
Though this looks like a dead thread let me just add that I wasn't aware CD-R King carries replacement batteries for the Xda. I've been buying mine at those cellular phone shops in Quiapo for several years now. Though no luck in finding a replacement for the internal battery Hope someone can direct me to one with fair pricing too.
Helooo!
this is actualy my first post though I have been lurking for ages
proud owner of a HTC Wizard about to upgrade to the XDA orbit but thats not my question
recently came across this
http://cgi.ebay.com/CECT-W800-Touch...ryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Looks like an Artamis but its it, another CECT clone of the orbit with no wifi but with built in GPS running WM5
anyone actualy bought one? I wonder if it could be upgraded in some way with a custom ROM to WM6?
not too botherd as going to get the Artamis anyway but may be intrested in buying it to experiment
same thought...
but still no answer found
Hi All,
This is my first time on here i've just got the CECT W800 as a christmas present and so far very happy with it. The onboard tomtom GPS works very well and it came with complete car kit and two batteries all for £138 inc postage from China. I've recently found out its a clone of the MDA Compact III, does anyone know of any other issues with this phone?
It came sim unlocked for any network and i put my virgin sim card in and it found all the correct setting for GPRS and MMS automatically.
Can anyone tell me if any of the iphone lookalike programs and skins would work with this phone pls?
Thanks Mick.
Have You eny problems with w800:
- with sms receive ?
- gsm module working after softreset ?

"Can anyone tell me if any of the iphone lookalike programs and skins would work with this phone pls?"
those programs and skins are generaly made for windows mobile and will generaly run on all devices which run windows mobile
Does the w800 have EDGE or just GPRS data? I'm looking in to getting one shortly and I won't even bother if it only has a GPRS radio.
How's the build quality and camera? Decent?

It's only gprs. Camera - phone quality
W800 hasn't any manufacturer support and has many bugs

what a shame... i could get past the bugs since SOMEONE's firmware ought to load on it but if the data is GPRS only, forget about it... too bad about it, the only other phone that I've seen that has built in GPS and doesn't cost an arm and a leg is the Pharos PTL600 for USD $469 with a $50 rebate. That's an ETEN rebrand, I believe.
the CECT w800 sounds (in theory) like a great device, is there a support website for it or does it just come out of a warehouse in Taiwan and that's it? I know CECT makes that knockoff iPhone that everyone has up on Ebay so they should be a fairly major company with at least a website.
I found cectelecom.com and qxmc.com as the Chinese and English webpages for CECT. Oddly enough, they don't list either this knockoff or the iPhone knockoff they sell. I'm going to shoot them an email and ask about the W800.
look this thread
Hi,
I have the CECT W800 and i'm very pleased with it. It comes with tomtom satnav which is very good and 1gig memory card. Try these websites www.cectstore.com and www.sourcinggate.com for more info.
Thanks Mick
GPS
Hi All,
Can someone answer does GPS navigation works without connecting external gps antenna.
I'm planning to buy one but i read that you must connect external antenna to have signal in navigation software.
BR
Hi,
Mine works without the external airel but it may take a bit longer to find a signal without it than it does with it, usually a couple of minutes. Where do you live? I'm in the UK and got the phone for xmas and very happy with it, if you need to know anything else about this phone let me know aand i'll try help.
I have this w800 and never used it. It came with its core language in Italian, a language I neither read or understand.
Is there anyone out there with an English rom for this damned thing.
Cheers all.
hi Lekkie,
Where did you get it from? I got mine from china via ebay and came in English, tomtom satnav was in chinese but changed it in the tomtom settings. I don't how you can get the rest of it in English maybe someone on here can help. I'll look through mine see if theres any language settings on it. Did you get a user manual with it? I got English version on CD rom i could send you file if you want, let me know.
Mick.
Hi guys,
Yes, got it through Ebay from some little chinese fella who has no idea about sending a phone with the right language for the country its being used in, its driving me crazy this damned thing.
I did get the manual, yes. That at least is in english, its the phone thats in italian.
Is there a way i could take a copy of the rom off mine and either send it to you by email or post it on here as mine is in English?
help!!
I set a pass code so it would lock and the pass code just quit working one morning anyone know a way to fix this?
it arrived yesterday on a consumer contract £35 a month if anyones interested
Loving the phone been browsing the forums for a while now but first post lots of great work on here much appreciated
last night i decided i didnt like the vodafone rom that was on there it was almost identical to the one listed in the wiki except the protocol was different i had 52.33.25.17U but 52.33.25.17H is listed
but i installed hardSPL and put on a new htc branded rom and love it because its default black
battery life is great had an annoyance with the data connection keep coming on when i wasnt using wifi but if stopped that now so thats great
only thing im not liking right now is when i go to messages on the touchflo bar at the bottom it shows the last message and its contents and i dont think its that private so if anyone knows of a way to change that would be much appreciated
but is there a way i can get it all back to stock and get my warrenty back now after ive installed hardSPL and a new ROM?
yes you can ive posted the rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
i have the same issue with the messages
suppose u do have the option to password your phone tho
At one time I had a working kaiser with a plan from AT&T, and all was good. Then i moved to the mid west and found that there was no 3g, and down right ****ty service everywhere I went. I loved my kaiser and decided to try and stick with it. Then one day god decided to strike down my kaiser and crack its screen. So I switched to Verizon and got a new phone. Just recently i ordered a replacement screen and me and my kaiser have reunited.
So here is the point of my story. I now have a kaiser with no cell phone service. I would like to install a Rom that is focused more on the pda side of the device and possibly disable some of the phone features and maybe stop it from trying to connect to at&t. Any suggestions? Thank you. : )
I did something simular with a Hermes that lost it's radio. All I did was delete the connection settings for GPRS and delete some shortcuts from the Program list. Not sure, but I think it's possible to re-asign the green phone key to something else but you'll need a reg hack or third part program to do it as far as I'm aware.
Other then that, press the little button on the top left hand side of the phone, then turn off "Phone." Hay presto.
Just install any ROM and dont turn the radio on.
well the big thing im looking for is a barebones rom with no extras for this phone running windows mobile 6.1
