Maybe 1.12 is better

Just got my MDA Compact back from HTC and they put back the Rom from last May.
Funny thing is, I haven't been able to find any advantages to justify me upgrading to 1.13. For a start, rebooting the thing is quicker on 1.12.
Can anyone advise if I am missing something important by not upgrading to 1.13?
Thanks.

Maybe it feels quicker because it is a fresh installation. I doubt there are any speed differences during boot time because the changes since 1.06 are very minor and mostly ExtROM related.

Much quicker boot
I think as part of the "No Bluetooth device found" fix, they added some time to booting. Not sure, can anyone confirm?

Could that be the reason my bluesoleil did NOT found the bluetooth device on the VPA Compact 1.12 rom, and it did find it when i had installed the 1.13 t-mobile rom.
Problem is, all that t-mobile **** is not really helping me out. THe Vodafone PUSH-EMAIL service is not auto connecting etc.
Could I get that bluetooth fixed even when having installed 1.12 in some way?

Rom 1.13 comes with newer battery dll, camera & album. & indeed a BT-fix. Using it for 5 months now & still satisfied with this rom.
@Riel, you can skip all TMO related ext-rom stuff by hard-resetting your device & just before customization (the little pop-up after the message 'now tap the screen
to start using your device') starts you soft-reset again.
Then load the required Orange cabs from your previous rom & you should be fine.
Regards, M

The Hang-up which I experience, could that be a 1.12 problem (when PAN with another s100 with Bluesoleil, it hangs when we start a MP game if pushmanager is installed).
Maybe 1.13 will fix it?

htc magician radio upgradable by Tytn radio 1.16

I just ran the get device data and uprade utility of radio rom tytn 1.16 (downloaded from this site/portal only) on my htc magician ( o2 mini with t mobile nl rom ).it shows all the previous rom, radio and ext rom versions plus and at the lower part the new radio version is 1.16 looks like it is upgradeable because BA 1.15 or other versions never went this far also . I just didn't try got little jittery . as it is day day time here in india and if it works or doesn't means loading programs all over again or getting it in the ok shape again with a possible hard reset and i have to go to work with phone and all the functionality . Somebody try and pm me

following is the direct link to download hermes radio 1.16 and it uses the magcian manual upgrade utility image which is included in this only. so here goes
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Extracted_Radio_ROMs/HERM_1.16.0.0_type2_radio.rar

How did it go, anything seem better/worse?

went till about 2% then incompatibility error . i had to flash my earlier rom radio again. earlier I had radio 1.13 radio on tmobile nl 1.13 rom . seemed it made phone warmer and and drain on the battery too. Now I'm going to go with the shipped radio 1.12 with the shipped uk rom .Any thoughts on radio 1.13 i think it was inconsistent . i mean the voice was sharper when there it was then skipped a beat a little after 10 -15 seconds which doesn't make difference in normal conversations on the phone . but it was more prounounced when it was streaming the pocket resco internet radio which breaks the connection and the buffer starts again which is kind on of annoying in my morning or evening jogs/walks and I don't play pre stored mp3 song from sd card as it wiped everything on the sd card after some song sessions . please share your experiences

I've been running 1.13 for a couple of months, and it seems fine. Bluetooth and phone seem pretty good/consistent.
I only ran 1.12 for a week or so, then I saw 1.13, so I can't really compare battery life of the two, but I know 1.13 is doing better then the original ROM, (I think it was 1.06 or 1.10.0)

Please share the experience and comparisions also . and if there is a experience regarding streaming internet radios between radio 1.12 and 1.13. I have already hard reset my phone and not loaded any much programs .Thre is a possibility of flashing again one more time then I'm going to settle for some time .I triead bluetooth A2dp bchs cab installs fine ,someone somewhere I guess modaco.com was that Stereo bluetooth works with only radio 1.13 . but in in shipped 1.122 it shows all the options .I don't stereo bluetooth headset .Going to buy one will somebody help me in giuiding and by answering these above questions

I honestly must say both are almost the same ...but found 1.13 a bit better

you try soft reset your device.
and if "bad radio" show up the screen, you can try update it again or redown new radio file if your file error. normal bootloader is serial/usb.
you can read guide up rom or radio in this forum for magician

Camera / wifi not working

Hello!
I have an Imate Jamin - it is quite an early model - it has black send/receive keys (bought it on February 2006).
The fact is that the camera and the Wifi do not work. When I start the camera application I see the clock icon for a second and then nothing happens (I remain at the exact screen). The wifi on the othe rhand seems to try to detect networks but never finds anything.
So.. the big question is whether this is software related (I have currently hard resetted and use S200's latest firmware) or hardware related. In other words two could happen:.
a. Either my model uses some older camera / wifi and thus the new firmware does not have proper drivers (has anyone else upgraded his eaelry jamin?)
or
b. Due to the many falls something has broken in my jamin (is this expected).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me with this - I cannot find any solution.. I tried downgrading to see if its firmware related but I got an error message.. (Invalid Command at 95%)
Thanks in advance

Which ROM did you install?
AKU 2.2, 2.3, or 3.2?

You have to download using an official ruu rom upgrade (downgrade), there are better people to tell you which one rather than me, I am quite new to this group. One of the upgrades does break wifi/camera so it is not just your phone, a download will cure it, you have not broken it.

O2 mini restart automatically frequently

Hi all,
After upgrade to "OS 1.12.00 / ExtROM 1.12.920 / Radio 1.12" about 3 months, my PDA restart automatically frequently without any reason. I really don't know why.
Anyone know why? Please help me.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have same problem ...

I would recommend to upgrade to the 1.13 versions. They are very stable for me since 1 year.

Hi,
I updated to 1.13, English version (of t-mobile). But it seem no change. It restarted frequently... Why???

As you might read on other threads, on old and used battery causes the same issue.
Even when it shows that there is enough power, the device might reset.
I changed my battery (it was 1,5 years old) and the problem was solved.

Thank you, esackbauer.

Problem Radio with my Polaris.

Hello,
My configuration :
- ROM : 1.25.406.1 FRE (12/12/07)
- RADIO : 1.58.21.23
- PROTOCOL : 25.65.30.04H
Here as the facts :
- I can't call anymore (or less than 1 for 10 calls).
- I can't connect to internet no more.
- about the GPS, it seems to be very bad too (I can't say if I can connect).
- the battery last less than a short night (yesterday at 10pm = 100%, right now 9am = 24% with no calls, nothing...).
The history :
- I unlocked the Polaris with the soft provided, hard-spl, 1.70.Olinex, ...
- I usually try many ROMs, I was using the BEPE 0.67 and no worry at all.
- I like to try new ROMs because it changes the Polaris a little and it is like having a new phone each time. But I always get back to BEPE 0.67.
- I never flashed the radio "by myself", but perhaps if it was included in the ROM.
- Since my problem I tried almost all the radios rom and I tried many roms too. I stopped at the original HTC ROM to see if the problem was solved... no luck.
With the last thing I did (can't remember what exactly), I had a problem with the battery drain. I read a lot here so I changed the radio to improve that. Result is what I described above.
The real problem is that I can't do anything to solve my problem : no radio, no rom, nothing....
If you can help me with something, thank you very much.

Yes, there is a solution for your problem.
Try to flash Murata Radio.
It will most likely solve your problem.
Olioaglio

I think I tried... I saw the thread about that one.
But I will again and let you know.

Ok I tried the Murata radio.
Just after it worked. But because I was in official HTC, I switched again to BEPE 0.67. Not working anymore... Is there a radio in the BEPE rom?
I am installing Murata again, after the Rom 0.67. Will see.

The response is : it is again not working.
I am sure that I read that you can mix whatever Rom and radio, so why this isn't working?

Again, after trying the Murata as the last action : no luck, not working...

What I did :
- BEPE 0.67 => not working
- Murata => not working
- BEPE 0.65 => not working
- Murata => not very good... and when it crashes, it crashes the calls with a metallic sound very bad. Actually it worked for the first attempts and it doesn't work now...
I don't understand, it differs from time to time...
I hope this is not an hardware problem because I would not understand from when....

Ok, I tested it and it looks like this works, not fine, but it works a little (can't connect in 3G).
I can call (sometimes, it is very long to have a call) and the gps is ok.
But if someone could help... to be at 100%

Ok, because this morning my Polaris was down, totally drain out.
I'm still looking for a solution.
I will try the solution from amzchhabra (in the topic Bad 3G/UMTS....), the O2 ROM (in deutsch). Hope the deutsch will be updatable after....
I will let you know if that works.
If the meanwhile someone think to anything....

3g-H
In 3g-H you can't call an can't make internet connections... I know about what you are speaking. Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391741

Ok, I tried the O2 deutsch solution with the radio 1.58.21.24.
After this I put the 0.67 again.
It worked for the afternoon, no battery drain, everything working, sms, calls, data connections, and suddenly nothing again...
This morning, no more battery and can't do anything....
allanon, I read the topic you talked about, but I can't really understand what to do :
- do I need to use the SAV?
- is it a software I use where is the problem?
Thank you for your help anyway.

I think...
send it back to assistance! I don't know if they change something of hardware, but I think some polaris have different kind of chips inside that could be guilty of malfunctions related to Radio or soft... Ciao

Ok, bad...
Can you help me for some little thing :
- I put the original ROM (SFR, France)
- I need to put the original radio (I'm still looking for it)
- I need to change the splash screen to the original one (I know how to change it)
- do I need to sim lock it?
- I found how to remove the hard-spl (for the end)
Did I forget something?
