Not, but even O2 Atom is not made by HTC?

You mean, flame thread as in, people flaming people, or the Xda Flame thread?
Another indicator of if it gets a forum here is "will it ever see thelight of day?" I-Mate's almost as dead as a door nail.
I'm bringing this thread back to push for an I-mate 9502 forums on here. This is honestly one of the main factors on wether or not I will buy this device (if/when it's released). I love this forum and it has helped me so much with my Vox and my Feeler, I would love to have the same support if I were to buy a 9502.
actually, that's a bit unlikely, as it's not HTC-made. The forum has specialized in HTC only so far, save for a few **ahem** Atom**ahem**
I would also love it if XDA-Dev got a 9502 forum.
The phone looks perfect! I actually sold my bnib Voda V1615 / tytn II upgrade to get some cash for it!
However, being Windows Mobile it will doubtlessly be utterly useless without the XDA-Dev geniuses to iron out all the creases.
I don't see why it can't go in here. It's replaced HTC as the XDAs in the southern hemisphere (i-mate's smartphone range).
I don't see why people are so keen to keep the forum exclusively for High Tech Crap anyway. Until the Wizards they've always been terrible (of course I still loved tweaking with them with the help of XDA-Dev).
Actually, not all Southern hemisphere. In Asia, even Southern and Southeastern, HTC still dominates the WM market. Sorry to burst your bubble mate. But the final decision really would be up to the mods, wouldn't it?

Nope, it isn't dead - and, fortunately, they don't return to HTC, as opposed to what the rumors said before MWC.

I'll mention this question too in the Mod forum, albeit, I'm afraid, the answer will be no.
it doesnt matter if there' a imate 9502 forum or not. just use the cab files from this site and put it in Ultimate! i just put PIE 6.1 on Imate 6150!

Some of them will work, but I think a lot of the things that need fiddling with in the registry and I-mate's own bits of software will need device-specific tweaks.
Either way, I can have a tinker, but lack the technical know-how to do anything major. I guess if the device become popular enough we might end up with a forum for it.
Guys and gals, I’ve just posted a HUGE roundup & quick review of i-mate’s all four new devices to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1967268
I read on Whirlpool forums that Telstra Australia will be the first to get the 9502, but someone just posted this:
"Just spoke to my telstra contact and he confirmed the 9502 failed testing was due for release on the 10th of march he said it is likelty to be released on the 24th but that isn't confirmed yet."
Lame. I want it now.
Ultimate 9502 Thread
Surely we shouldn't discount the Ultimate 9502 just because it's not made by HTC.
The 'Welcome' message admits that the name XDA-Developers is pretty arbitrary, it just so happened that an O2 XDA of some model was the first that they happened to have, and that would make it more O2 than HTC.
I would say that what is much more important is that the 9502 is a WindowsMobile Pocket PC, and it will have the same kind of issues as the other Windows Mobile Pocket PCs discussed here, including other I-Mate devices, and especially the Kaiser which has (from what I understand) the same chipset.
So can we have a forum for the 9502 (and I guess the other Ultimates as well)?
Ultimate 9502 Availability
As far as when the 9502 will be available from Telstra, they were able to take my order as of last Thursday. I'd say they would only do that if the issues had been sorted.
Imate 9502 is IN STOCK from here but i not sure how accurate is that!

I hope so!, I see the standard version of WM6.1 for Smartphone and the interface improvements are amazing! in other hand the profesional version we had seen until now has only cosmetic improvements in its interface.
Here's the video of the WM6.1 standard
when will this become available for official upgrade?
Officialy out but not available!!!! "Yet"

Inquiry About Windows Mobile 6.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sent HTC an e-mail inquiring about the ROM release of Windows Mobile 6.1 for the AT&T Tilt and this was there response.
Quote:
Hello Matthew,
Thank you for your inquiry
We know it is very important to have all the information on our devices. We will do our best to assist you with this information right away. HTC has no official documentation or details about the use or release of Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1. As you may be aware, all updates for our devices can be located at their respective regional web sites. If any future updates will be available for the AT&T Tilt , you will undoubtedly find it on our support web pages listed below:
http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=67
I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.
HTC Technical Support
http://www.america.htc.com
Also the e-mail I sent to AT&T asking the same question, was told that the manufacturer (HTC) would be providing a ROM update if there was one... So apparently it's still a mystery!

I have been using this since April 2, and my Kaiser has been in my drawer ever since (sorry HTC)
Which one, the 8502 or 9502. I have an 8502 and I've gotta tell you, it is by FAR the best PDA phone I have ever used. Not only is it VERY small in size which is GREAT, but the battery life is good too. If it had a VGA screen, and maybe a front facing camera, it would be the best phone ever. My buddies 9502 is also a very solid phone. Abit bulky but not too bad. Thinner than the tytn II but longer.
again, this forum is called XDA-devs. I find it somewhat hypocritical that it encompasses only HTC made devices. But a rule of thumb is that if its not available via XDA, it's not getting a forum.
Weird, but thats how it works

As the portal (the main page...) says, it's devoted to HTC devices.
I'm in too! I owning one 8502 and generally satisfied. Of course, it could be better with new ROM supporting SDHC!

It will never support SDHC. It is a hardware issue, in that the Wifi card uses some parts of the SD card reader.

that sucks! i hope the WM 6.1 will have an update for it.
No, it will support it.... Its not a hardware issue.... You will see!
Never gonna get tired of this phone. It's the best and only QWERTY phone I will ever use.
Best I have ever had
I have had my 8502 for about 11 weeks and it is by far the best unit I have ever owned.
This is at least my 8th PDA and I migrated from a JasJam and in every aspect the 8502 is far superior even with WM 6.0.
I use it quite heavily with lots of software installed and certainly have not had the issues that some of you are talking about.
All I am waiting for is WM 6.1 and some Rom cookers and the 8502 will be even better.
i'm suprise that my Imate 9502 is very stable and everything just works!
i have a tytn 1 upgraded to WM6.1, and usb tethering keep disconnecting!
8502 user here........ must agree this is the best windows mobile i have used.....just check out my signature, been through a lot of pdas in the last couple of years....

For me too
Hi Reader,
As a request, Id like to ask for a favour in helping me get a new phone.
Been using a HP IPAQ rw6828 for a yr now, and quite frankly didnt disliked it much.Need to change to a WM6.. have had a enough of all the Nokias.
Used the Black N95 for abt a day and got rid of it.
Kaiser TYTN II/ Blackberry Curve or anyone you guys could suggest.
Apologies if this is the wrong forum but didnt found any other forum best suited for this.
Cheerz
I suggest the Tilt....
Thx
Hi Bruv!
1st up thx for the reply!!...I kinda like the black one too... I guess tilt and Tytn II are same... js the weight thing kinda puit me off....
i noe this is XDA PDA forum, but Blackberries are outta liking??
Anyhow... I see you guys breaking a lotta code n making new ROMS... id suppose HTC TYTNII can be tested for a lot of ROMS and softwares.. can it?
tytnII and tilt are identical except for the difference that the tytnII has the front camera while att has cleverly removed that from the tilt.
As far as upgrades go there are a ton of options available here. All depends on what you want and which route you want to go on. Before doing any upgrades though i highly recommend that your read the kaiser wiki.
If you are going to be flashing new roms than don't forget to flash hardspl first to your device; again this is all explained in kaiser wiki so please do read it if you plan on going that far with device.
As far as suggestion i definitely recommend the tilt. It is a great phone/pda/micro laptop and has the capabilities to do alot of wonderful things.
enjoy,
peace
sire
Cheerz bro!...
Will go on wid TyTN II
XDA fo sure roks!
Sorry for posting here rather than in one of the other boards - I just couldn't find a board where the MWg Zinc II would fit in - maybe it's time for a new category?
Just got me the Zinc II - great phone! Works better than the HTC Kaizer which I had as a AT&T / HTC Hybrid.
Screen is only QVGA but very bright, sharp and easy on your eyes, fully glass covered (not that plastic digitizer stuff) - reacts perfectly to finger touch. Besides that, it is a very speedy device! - well, this is not a review - just have a quick question!
I tried to enable the AUTO TIME ZONE page on the device. I am sure that it is in there, it was already pre-enabled on the HTC Kaiser (which I returned for this one because it had a bad general performance + the well known video issues).
The MWg Zinc II seems to be related to the ETEN series, at least the REGISTRY contains lots of ETEN entries.
Back to my question:
I could not find any OEM entries in the registry (as described for the HERMES), so, where (and what) would I have to add a registry entry in order to get the AUTO TIME ZONE page shown under WM 6.1? Help is pretty much appreciated - thanks in advance!
Yep,
seems like I was correct! The MWg Zinc II is a rebaged ETEN GLOFISH M750 or M810:

Still having the same question (see first post).
MWg Zinc II - disable AUTO NETWORK TIME - solution found
After hours 'reading' the registry in my MWg Zinc II, I finally found a way to turn off the AUTO NETWORK TIME UPDATE. Unfortunately, the NITZ Page in the Zinc II is disabled by default, adding the OEM/SHOWNITZPAGE Registry entry won't bring it back on WM6.1 - at least not on the MWg!
The registry key you have to change is the following:
To turn NETWORK TIME OFF:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock]
"NetworkTimeSync"=dword:00000000
To turn NETWORK TIME ON:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock]
"NetworkTimeSync"=dword:00000001
My MWg was always 1 hour behind the regular time, so, this caused a lot of trouble, especially if you use your device as well as alarm clock! Hope, this will help somebody!

Have a great time with your MWg Zinc II. You seem to be a expert with your Zinc II. I am buying it within this few days. If I have any problems, can I look for you?
Well, not an expert but have some experiences with Windows Mobile. Sure, you can contact me at any time - no problem at all!
I've got the Zinc II and wondering
I'm looking to get a registry hack similar to the kaiser to speed up keyboard response, and to shut off LED coverage indicator.?
Thanks

There's no MWg Zinc II discussion thread here at xda. There's no way to cook a ROM for MWg Zinc II currently.
I wish the ZINC II WAS MORE MAIN STREAM, and had more supporters its a good piece

I wish for that too. It's indeed the MWg ZinC II is a very good device. I do not have any problem with it at all. However, there will be no more up coming MWg devices in future. MWg has already closed down.

Yah. We need help from ROM master. But I do not know who to look for. Will you go ask a ROM master for help? I know of a chinese forum which discuss about Zinc II. They do not have any idea how to cook a ROM for Zinc II either. You can use google to translate it:
