Hi after putting the official t mobile upgrade on my english mda compat all was well for about 3 weeks then disaster.
If i hard reset and let it load the tmobile custom then when i go in to contacts and load contacts from sim card tthe phone starts playing up big time
If i highlite 1 contact it will not actualey dial that 1 contact but it highlites as many as the styles is draged across
Also if I go into file explorer and try opening the storage card it will open sd card but when i tap a file it just highlites it and all other files that styles is draged across ... please somebody help ...
any ideas ..
even just abuse about me being a newbie is better than the last post i put with 46 viewings and not 1 reply!!!!!!
thanks in advance
Since you now got all these problems, why not try to upgrade to 1.13 or reinstall the 1.12? It might help you. Guess it won't be a good idea to put a backup back on your mda after reinstalling or upgrading.
M
I have tried putting different roms on it taken from this forum but I either get an id/country code error or it gives me the same problem .
I am only useing the roms that are exe files as I am not brave enough to use all the other programs like maug? or what ever it is ....
If i can wipe my mda clean then try putting one back on I hope this will do the trick
So to anybody out there please can you tell me which roms to use or how I can sort my big problem out, that would be nice ..
Abuse is accepted help would be good thank you for looking and I hope it makes you laugh 8)
billbob, download this 1.13 WWE upgrade from here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/NL_11300_131_11200.exe
When it's downloaded:
1) Using WINZIP, extract the EXE file to any folder you like.
2) Once you have extracted the files into your directory, download the file attached down here and copy it into the same folder as the files.
3) Double click on the ActiveSync icon, then go File -> Connection Settings
4) Untick Allow USB connection
5) Then run this attached file (MaUpgradeUtNoId.exe) from the folder. It may give you a country id error the first time you run it. If it does, just run it again and it will work!
Hope it fixes your problem. If it doesn't at least you would have the latest ROM ;-)
And when you're really really desperate and want a 'clean' device, so the upgrade program doesn't see your versionz: give it a hard-reset and when the first screen shows after the splash or anytime before you finish the init. procedure give a softreset. This way you won't have an OS so the getdevicedata function is NOT working and the upgrade software will report you're upgrading from version 'blanks only'.
I did it myself but won't recommend it.
Hope you don't need this tip.

hmmmmmm
Tried the all new 1.13.00 upgrade and loaded on my contact and hey all was well loaded tomtom on and all still great .finally got to bed at 1.30am
Now to some thats not late but considering i have to be up for work at 5am and then drive a lorry that weighs just under 44tonnes (why do so many people eat heinz soup) this kind of sleep pattern is not a good idea
after weaving my way to the drop off point where i would get some sleep I noticed that the phone had gone in to align screen mode
so phoned t mobile for help .nice person told me "oh your rom is newer than the one on the mda she had and did i do a hard reset after new rom upgrade ?"
anyway did as told and still same problem
sorry for going on
problems are
The contacts cannot be accessed1 at a time
File explorer will not open the file that the stylus is highlighting
the calender hard button puts the phone into align screen mode
this problem happens with diffrent roms on the phone so am thinking WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?????
will be speaking to tmobile tommorow and they may tell me its my fault
so please all you nice kind clever (no we wont put good looking this time )lovely people any help ???????
Sorry billbob i've read this before in a thread, at the time there wasn't a solution provided. Maybe I can find it back.
M
lady I spoke to today sounded impressed that i had 1.13 version on mda will she will be calling me tommorow to advise me what to do
aparently 1 of the engineres was upgradeing his at time of my phone call so that may hav ehelped with my case for them to sort it will tell all tomorrow night
thanks
Cannot find the thread, the guy/girl didn't use correct English (mine isn't perfect too, I know) and I remember that 'stylus' was spelled funny. Searching hasn't provided me with the thread I'm looking for.
By the way, the roms you've tried were they shipped or modified? Or both, otherwise I would have tried a shipped one, guess you've done that by now, don't you?
Hope the lady can help you.

Morning / Afternoon / Evening to All,
Not to be critical of this wonderful website which is full of great resources but, I have noticed that the useful info is hard to find.
So I thought it might be a good idea to post all of my items in the one place so here goes.
I will update these as i go.
TIP
If you want the CAB Files in remain in your PPC after install simply change the files preferences to "Read Only"
since i was just upgrade from wallaby to magician, i found all your posting, instructions and cab files very very helpful thanks a lot ampda, you rules :!:
Hello ampda , Great Work Friend . . . many thanx for these cabs and instruction files.
Cheers for taking the time to make them for the rest of us noobs
Glad to Help
verry nice indeed but there are simpler ways of doing the discribed below
(copied this out of pdf file )
3. Copying your “Extended ROM” Files before Big Storage
You need to copy the files from your “Extended ROM” before you go the Big Storage as you will need to install some of them after you’re finished, i.e. MMS etc. They will be deleted after the upgrade (and that’s the whole point).
a. To copy them from your Magician do a hard reset (push the power button and reset button at the same time).
b. Go through the screen alignment, time zone etc and get ready…….. when you reach the “Completed” screen it will ask you to “Tap your screen…. As soon as you tap the screen you get 3 sec to soft reset (push the reset button). If you miss it as I did just do a hard reset and try again.
c. After you do b. above go to the built in file explorer and under “My Device” you will now see the treasured “Extended_ROM” with all its files. Copy the directory straight to your SD Card then to your PC, keep them safe.
its just a bit easyer when you just fill in
go to windows folder on PPC and search loadvdisk.exe
run it and you will see your ext_rom (until you reset )
not to sure the usual file explorer can do this but Resco file explorer will find it
another progie that can find it is total commander :

Hi!!
Thanks for all your help!
Does anyone konw, or is there a way to save to the pc the SMS messages both received and sent??
Cheers!
use jeyo mobile companion. u can backup all of your messages, contacts (phone and sim), etc.
Hi!
Thanks for the tip!
By the way, and i think these questions are more tricky, is there any way NOT to charge the battery while the phone is connected to the USB?
And while using the calling software, when inputing the nunbers, to make the sim card entries dissapear and only have the ones that are in the contacts? Because most of the times i have a double entry and it really makes me mad!
Thanks!
The way to NOT to charge the battarie is to make some changes to your cable - cut +5v from USB (or make a switch).
the tray launch only app.... theres now way to BROWSE for the program you want on the tray?
sucks that you have to type out the entire path just to get it
Any idea whether these (or more specifically the camera speckles change) will work on a Wizard?
Remove Camera
Noob question here.
Once i install the camera & album to Storage how do i delete it from the \windows . Maybe not possible due to it being in ROM. In this case I end up with 2 camera software? So i'm curious what is the idea of installing in storage.
Halo ampda, i tryin to follow your how_to_ppc_upgrade.pdf buat I stuck in the step 4 backing up your existing rom to PC, in romupdate.exe I still confuse about the PORT things. can you help me to, which one to use?
please help...
thanks
Thanks for nice posting AMPDA..
I have a question,
I installed ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
but my camera version was 2.70 (build 18727) and it is still the same. I reset the device but still didnt become build 2026.
Do you have an idea?

Guys,
This sharing is really useful. I just bought mine few days ago from ebay. Mine doesn't come with ANY EXT ROM at all! No software such MMS, smart dial etc.
Can anyone provide a link to get back those basic EXT ROM software so that I can upload it back? ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/ is not working for me. Any help pls?

Pillow write your email address. I'll send you them via email. (Those which are not device spesific).
What is the type of your device and rom versions?

Hi Lupusic,
Thanks a lot for your kind offer. I manage to pull up the files from the FTP using cuteFTP software. Some how my company laptop doesn't allow default browser connection....
My phone is O2 mini and has v.1.13 for both rom & radio. I think it's BigStorage (not sure though).
Any good advice for me? I mean anything at all....
Thx again

Hi AMPDA,
Thanks for all your postings on big storage which gives detailed instructions step-by-step. Very brief and consise. Also now I notice you have put everything into 1 place like a table for pick and choose. Can it get any better ? Can't ask for anything more. You have so many useful cabs and instructions. I have benefitte a great deal. ONCE AGAIN Thank You.
Important:
before i begin let me say this is not my own work i did not wright these apps/files ive simply put them all toghether in order to create an iphone theme for my T-Mobile Wing. if you ever recive a message from me charging you for this theme then ignore it completly.everything i am providing you is entirley freeware. the reason i am telling you this is because there sevral people out there right now selling this files/apps as there own, but there are also people outthere that actualy do make there own and sell them so dont get confused.
zip. files
iphone-0.97
icontact_v0.2
Cab. files:
slide2unlock-wm5
tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1
for thoes of you who dont have t-mobile or dont have myfaves. your gonna have to do some editing in the config file in order to change what it opens.ive also added a couple of icons in the icons folder so you can also change the myfaves icon.
in order for this to work properly with out having to do any editing to the config. everything must go into your storage card
unzip all the zip files attached to this email and then copy them to your windows mobile device.same goes with the cab. files.
once all the files and cabs are installed onto your device then you can run the iphone theme wich should be found in you storage card through file explorer hope this works for you,as it has for me.
sorry if the instalation instructions aren't great but they should be good enough in order to set up the theme for thoes of you who've done this kinda stuff wont even need the instructions
ENJOY!
FOR THOES OF YOU WHO ARE GETTING INK. FILE NOT FOUND WHEN YOU OPEN ICONTACTS
some people have been messaging me that when they try open icontacts from the theme there getting ink. file not found to correct this youll have to do some copy and pasting
you must exit the iphone theme first before doing this and you can restart it once your done
first you have to replace the config file found in the iphone themes folder with the new one i have provided below. everything will be the same i have just done some simple editting wich should get icontacts to work.once this is done then just go to the part of the storage card were you have icontacts and copy it then go to my device and click the windows folder once there just paste the icontacts app and this should get it to work. if not then uninstall icontacts and just reinstall it to your device
for thoes who want to edit the config file themeselves and not download the one i have then simply replace the part in the config file that has this
\Storage Card\Program Files\icontact\icontact.exe
and replace it with this
\Windows\icontact.exe
but you will still need to do the copy and pasting steps above
hopefully this helps let me no if it doesnt
ive tried my best to edit the config just right so you wouldnt have to do any but even tho you more then likely will have to do some editting
for thoes of you using tmobile wing go hear and post some stuff you may have to help others improve there device as well as find stuff to improve your's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1400970#post1400970
sorry if you write me and i never write back im am extremley bussy now most of the time since ive gone back to work it takes up most of the time of my day and by the time i get home im too tired to do anything but ask around and im sure youll be able to figure out how to install the theme
if you want to see the theme working then go to this link for youtube to see my wing running the iphone theme
http://youtube.com/watch?v=cPt-7Au8Fp4
ok a lil something about icontacts this may or may not help some people but im posting it anyways if you start icontacs and it works but none of you name or numbers for your contacts apeer than you may have to transfer your contacts to your simcard or device itself im not sure right now wich one it is but try either one and it may help. im not sure if this goes for the newer versions of icontacs i havent used it yet so yea just a lil tip
ask around and im sure youll be able to get this theme running on your wing
10/19/09
just an update
i no longer own the wing and am now a proud owner of the mytouch 3g but there are still plenty of other tmobile wing users out there that would most likely be willing to lend a helping hand. just be sure to always do some reading and searching first.
TmobileWingUser
mod edit: Link to Slide2Unlock removed.
awesome
if you own a wing you should definetely do this to your phone, and also thank tmobileuser for giving us this chance to do the same to our phones
haha I Love how my video is the first one that shows up on the suggestion list
i might try this out later today or tonight, looks pretty nice and fits tmobile perfect. always wanted to try that ipod thing out
for anyone who trys this let me no if everything opens smoothly so i no wether ill have to edit the config or not thanx for you help
is that ipod program in it? i never installed uPod but I did download it awhile ago. do we have to install that ourselves too?
the ipod that i had in my video was a trial version so i replaced that button to start slide2unlock instead
Oh, well I found the pPod and change that link to actually start the pPod program. Works great, love the icons!
thats cool is the pPod version you got a trail verson or no if its not can you send me the link were you got it from so i can put it back on my phone thanx
Installation
Can someone post a word document on how to install these file on my wing? Also, would it be best to wait until myFav is turned on. I just purchased my wing and myFav isn't on yet.
Thank you tmobilwinguser for posting these files and anyone else who can help me get my phone like the video on youtube.
Installation
Disgard my first request for instruction. I justice two things one tmobilwinguser has listed instructions and on his youtube post he will be adding a short video to show how to install it on the wing.
Thank again tmobilwinguser
where do you place the batterstatus folder at on your phone, and open it to?
Does this work on HTC Touch? the themes look nice and i wish to install it on my touch. thanks guys
does this work in Htc Touch? thanks
does any body have the same problem
when i click on the contacts icon it says .Ink file not found, if anybody else has the same problem, please reply. or if they can tell me where they put the icontact folder at.
i just finished putting it on and it is sweet hey thanx for the post im going to use this for sure, i think it runs better than when your useing wm6. Well any i do have one question were do you put the icontacts it said it cant find it when i click on the icon? But other than that like i said its cool lol
Optional Battery Status
Optional
for this program at least for me anyways it doesnt matter were you put it i have mines on device and once installed you can open it from your programs
for thoes of you who may be using the t-mobile wing and find it kinda slow or slugish then i recomend using a program called battery status it overclocks your cpu in order to run faster i currently have mines clocked to 286 but i recommend you start at 247 first and then go from there like i said this is optional you dont need this in order for the iphone theme to work i just though id add it for thoes who may want it
how do you change the icons for it and how can you change the front picture of the lock screen?
for those having the problem with the icontacts , i figured out what the problem is. open the iphone folder and look for a document called "config". scroll about half way down to where it says \Storage Card\Program Files\icontact\icontact.exe.you have to capitalize the "c" in icontact. it should look like this .....\iContact\iContact.exe. i hope this helps. NOTE o not play arund with anything else in this document if you don't know what your doing.also i havethe file located in my storage card.
how can i get those programz i am tryin 2 download it it wont let me
help with iphone theme
I can't download the zip files, and when is the slide2unlock going to be back for download. I just ordered my wing and should be getting it on friday so i wanted to know if anyone could help me with downlaoding the files
Hello. I managed to mess up the power settings of my device with Battery Guard and was stupid enough to not make a backup of the initial settings. Could someone PLEASE post the defaults xml? Thanks
Have you tried searching that thread for the defualts?
This question belongs in that thread anyways.
Thank you for your reply.
I searched that thread and even posted a request there... No responses there. And the subdevice power configurations are device specific and probably can be modified without that tool in the registry manually. That is why I tried asking here

Which .XML contains the default power settings?
The one that you save before making any tweaks.... don't tell me that you did the same mistake. IF you haven't changed anything it goes like this: Open the APP, click on the 4th icon below (the green circle with battery drawing on it) then on the upcoming page DRAG the low icons stripe as left as possible, there you'll see a cylinder drawing with a floppy disc and a pen. Pushing it'll take you to the file save dialogue. You can save it there as a *.bck file (batteryguards own format?) or as an provisional xml. That is the way you'll output the file.
BTW it is great but dangerous app. I managed to tweak the standby time to approximately 22days based on calculation of 2*24 hours drain when the phone was laying still on a normal coverage. After that I wanted more but that was the point where I messed up something

Sorry, I don't use this program, I thought that there was an XML I could extract from a ROM that would have the stock power settings.
Sounds like you'll probably have to hard reset to get them back.
No, I just need a backup file from someone who did that clever move at start or a person who would install this program to raphael, save the xml/bck file, uninstall the app (if he wants) and send me the xml/bck

I posted it to the other thread. Good luck.
I'll have to check that program out before I uninstall it.
Thanks.
Thank you again! I think this program is the best battery drain minimizer if you know that your device is changing the power states correctly. Now that you have the backup file try the settings there. I think the worst thing that can happen is that your device wont wake up from standby. But you'll surely get it running with soft reset and then can load the initial bck/xml file
Today a friend of mine wanted to install a .apk file on his Android phone and he did not have a clue on how to do this.
So.. After some hours PHP coding here I created an online tool for him (and other newbies).
Basically the users selects the .apk he wants to install, and points his Android camera to the given QR code.
Please have a look at http://bit.ly/e4mLXu , and let me know what you think.
Some things like About and FAQ are still missing, but will be added later this week.
Thank you.
It's a good concept but the site layout is so unnecessary, you don't need all those unneeded images and links in the website that has nothing to do with its function.

Thank you for your input.. I guess that I did go over the top a bit on the design.... But I was really in my zone when doing the page layout
I'm re-doing it at the moment, and I will try to keep it as KISS as possible.
Once again thank you for your input.
Awesome idea. A friend of mine just got her first Android phone, and is pretty clueless about installing APKs, even though I rooted her phone and walked her through it with Root Explorer. This will make it much simpler for her.
Good idea! Can save some time. It`s already saved in my favorites!
file manager, astro..
this is for first class rookies
Sorry but have I missed something here??
Why on earth would ANYBODY really actually need to use this? (no offence) Has your friend lost the plot?
Why would you go through all this instead of simply installing a file manager liek ASTRO via the market?
a) Copy apk to sd card/phone
b) install ASTRO File Manager from market.
c) Install apk
How difficult is that?
If I have missed something here please explain because I cant think of any scenario where this would be an advantage.

I have not looked at it yet, but this allows you to do it without connecting the phone to the pc right?
Logical order for your instructions
a) Install ASTRO File Manager from market.
b) Copy apk to sd card/phone
c) Install apk
repeat steps b and c for other .apks
It is a great idea,and nicely done. but i will stay with the other method.
i think its great especially when you forget your usb cable, i never leave home with out but i forgot it, surfing thru xda and didnt feel like opening xda app on phone just download upload install, also, when paw server is down i guess, nice work.
Oops... The site is getting a lot of attention at the moment as it made the XDA's frontpage!
I guess that it's time to start putting together a FAQ for the site.

It doesn't make a difference which way around you do a&b so one order isnt any more or less logical then the other.

Ok so if you where not at home and didnt have a USB cable, you could simply email the apk to yourself or use your friends card reader/card slot/dongle etc. There are a million different ways that are much quicker then this. Not trying to dis OP/site etc just suprised that this has been made front page news?
I love how quickly people try to smash an idea just cause it's not their way...what if the user doesn't have a file manager installed? Left their USB cable? Doesn't want to login to a webmail account for security reasons? There are tons of reasons to use this...I say scale it up, and somehow work out longer time periods for the QR codes (Maybe only for registered users?)...besides, it's always nice to have some functional PHP code that could be used in other projects.
I just used this and it is awesome! thank you thank you thank you!
sorry, but its useless. also harder and takes longer time than just copying to sd.
not everybody gets the idea of Astro/File manager.
this is just another way to get to the goal.
sometimes, even if you try to show them a better way of doing things, they still prefer another way which may seem not logical/takes a longer time.
This is a neat idea. it might not appeal to everybody, but it may help somebody.
I don't get this either. I email the apk to my gmail and there's an option in Gmail on your phone for you to install the app.
Hey, i found great use for this. I downloaded a couple of APKs and needed to quickly dl them, and install them. Too lazy to connect to my computer or email it. So much faster.
One cosmetic issue: when I upload an apk the name changes to a crazy long string. Any way to shorten that? I realize you can't keep the original apk name but a simple numbering system (each new upload +1 id kind of a thing) or whatever else might work better. It's not required, but just my input love it!
niceeee!!! this is exactly what i wanted!
