Hi, I've recently upgraded my T-mobile MDA Compact to the Qtek 1.11. Everything works great. Better that with 1.06, but there is one problem.
When i receive a phone call, it doesn't show the name of my contact. MS Voice Command says the name but only the number is displayed, I tried extracting the 1.11 rom but i can't get the .cab for the contacts to re-install it.
Anyone having the same problem and found a sollution or has the .cab from 1.11? I think it's probably photo contacts program that's not working properly
Thanx
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think i solved it.
I got the "Caller_ID_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.CAB" form the latest QTek1.11 Rom. Copied it to my MDA
When you try to install it, you get an error about locked files.
Rename or Delete the following files.
/Windows/Startup/IA_CID_StartUp.Ink (do a reset)
/Windows/CallerID.dll
/Windows/ContactsSDK.dll
/Windows/DisplayCID.dll
/Windows/iacontacts.dll
Install "Caller_ID_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.CAB" again, Reset and voila.
I called my self from my home phone and it worked!
Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you too.
Thanx a Bunch

Got the exact same problem after upgrading my qtek s100 to version 1.11. Quite annoying - hopefully someone can help us! Pleeaaase...
I got the same problem also. No pictures come up after the upgrade. I did not really notice it until reading this post.
I'm not quite sure how to get the .cab-file. Please tell me and I will definitely give it a try.
Can try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17510&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=125
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3\
(Default) MP3File
to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3\
(Default) WMAFile
-------------
It seems that some of us encounter problems with 1.06 Upgrade...
The Caller ID and MMS issue are only related to a file association problem.
Programs like Betaplayer or the like can manage audio and video file that are by default managed by windows media player.
The trick is to make Windows Media Player the default player for all media type especially the ones that are managed by the built in Applications like Caller ID, MMS, Album.
Unfortunately, once you have let a third party program to manage audio and video file managed by W M P there are no solution other than playing with the registry and unchecking any file association in third party programs (unless you want to do it again from the start) than soft reset to make the changes effective.
About the trick with Pocket Tweak, first verify that third party programs no longer associate with W M P files than do the trick you shoud read in Pocket tweak Control Panel "Extension mp3 File Type Windows Media File" exit then soft reset.
I tried the suggestion posted by the original thread owner ... didn't work for me.
So my callerID still misbehaves :-(
I have the same problem!!
Has anyone got a working solution for this??
Please let me know
Thanks
Where can I found "Caller_ID_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.CAB", please send it to me or send the link to me?

My readers (see for example this post) probably already know about two Pocket PC Phone Edition-specific SMS export utilities, Jeyo Mobile Extender (which, unfortunately, has severe problems with more than a few hundred SMS messages stored on a given PPC PE device) and Dopod SMS Backup, which is pretty simple and only supports exporting. There has always been a third alternative, zedsoft.net's smsOrganizer, but, up to now, it wasn't WM5-compliant and, therefore, I haven't reviewed it.
The author of the latter, zedsoft.net, has just announced the WM5 version to be out.
Give it a try - it's by far the most powerful SMS organizer I know and is really worth giving it a try. It's available here.
How do you completely uninstall this program?
I get a dialog box that says: _wfopen failed. MycreateFile TimeOut!
and then the program crashes. Was working fine for a while. Tried uinstall/reinstall.
I think what happened was i deleted the file(s) in the "settings" directory.
Should there be something there?
Thanks!
SmsOrganizer Uninstall/Reinstall problems
I had the same problem. Only installed to test it, but when uninstalled, it just does not either reinstall, if does install cannot run it. I get the same message, something "_wfopen failed. MycreateFile" . I also made the same mistake of removing the files from the settings. Although I tried to create the same name directory, but has not worked. It seems to be a nice application, something that I searched for monthssssssss, now that I found one, it has problems!!!! Also, when you install and run it the application icon "O" keeps on moving one space to the left every time you start it. Cannot wait to get it working again cuz it seems to be such a handy tool the way its laid out. You can backup all the sms or specify your own created directories. I have not tried to restore the backedup sms's though as I don’t have a second WM5 device. Would like to backup my sms's and everything else first before I flash the ROM.
Would someone with a pristine installation be so kind as to zip up and post the "Settings" folder?
I believe this will alleviate the situation.
I tried copying the "settings" folder included in the cab file, believe it or not, it almost worked i got a lot closer to loading the app, but am still getting an error.
Anyone?
So.. this prog is the culprit....

I installed this program sometime ago, but did not realize this is causing the _wfopen failed. MycreateFile TimeOut! dialogs... If you guys get this, it means you are unable to receive new SMSes. I experienced this for several days before realizing that this error occurs everytime someone sends me a new SMS. The sender may receive a delivery report, but the SMS didn't show up in the inbox, but gave the 2 error instead. Had to hard-reset as I didn't know this prog was the culprit....
smsCreative has been released!
Our new program - smsCreative v0.93 - has been released. This is an all-in-one SMS application for Windows Mobil PDAs.
We have put all our famous program (smsOrganizer, smsBackup, AllCleanup, smsRunner, StealSafe) together and rewrite almost all of the program code.
smsCreative has all the knowledge and features like smsOrganizer, but it works as fine as you wished to have by the first version already.
The full price will be 19.99 USD, but now you can buy the product only 9.99 USD during the beta period. Of course you will get all the updates later.
You can download, try or buy the product on our webpage (evolens.net) and you can follow all the changes we made in our product blog (smscreative.net).
Does it support Sheduled SMS sending?
Just curious what peoples essentials are on this unit?
I have been having problems with my handset for some time now, and the memory card *appears* to be corrupt.
So doing a back up of all call logs, messages etc, and going to hard reset.
I will then attempt to update it to 6.1 *wasnt working before*
My Requirements?
Internet
Sat Nav
Games
Clean Theme (like a nice subtle black)
Alarm
Back Up Utility
So What would you guys recomend for the above and what cool features/tweaks can I do with this phone?
Just read my signature.
I think most members here would agree with my choice...
excuse my ignorance, but i see WWE is just the same as an HTC rom with the latest software, is this correct, no other changes?
Secondly, I currently run an 02 ROM, would i notice many differences and how would i go about getting my internet settings (Currently there is an application that retrieves these for me)
Hope you don't mind the silly question - I did read the info but couldn't be sure.
hello
i would say 2 apps i couldnt do without are no longer hosted on here but are g-alarm and g-profile found at www.ageye.de
Also if you want to 'risk' flash (read this) 3LIT3 as i was running the o2 6.1 rom since release till about a month ago and although it is better than the 6.0 rom it is much faster the 3LIT3 rom is superior to the official releases that have been made. Also on the settings front i was afraid of this and made sure i had them before i flashed but then they are installed automatically in customisation (with either officail or 3LIT3).
Sat nav i am guessing that you are using copilot in which case there is a releated piece on how to do this when you download the o2 rom from their site.
Back-up utility i would say either spb backup - but i have heard of problems going over from 6 -> 6.1 roms with using backup software so i say sync up before and copy any import docs that you have on their before you go to flash.
Hope that answers the questions
Well i managed to flash the unit with some interesting measures.
Long story short, I couldn't get into boot loader (Still can't) but when i ran 02 6.1 rom RUU it took it to the bootloader (just vista wouldn't work) so after some hunting i found a driver which worked, well sort of lol.
And then it worked, well for the 02 6.1 release any way.
Tried Co-pilot still having issues,
Tried memory card files, still problems - i think my memory card is knackered and some of copilot is configured there so will explain why this is failing!
Co-pilot was on the rom, presume that if it did load i would have to re-register but think i might opt for tomtom now, was never a fan of copilot.
Other than that i ran PPCPim backup which works really well for calls logs, messages etc. had no critical documents on there but did forget to back up my pictures - oh well no real loss!
Is there a way to format an SD from the device its self?
I have got to say i am NOT impressed with 6.1 from 02 its so slow! my ringtone doesn't even play properly.
Edit jesus this is rubbish, i mean seriuosly really buggy have i done something wrong because they couldnt have put this out as RTM surely?! please some one tell me i am wrong.
My ringtone stutters for goodness sake, i clicked data connection and the connection tab is now overlaying everything and won't go away!?

Hi there, Do a Hard Reset and start over again installing your PIM backup, GPS, any other things you normally use. Your GPS setup files are on the SD card in '2577' folder. Unless you have the CD media do not format your SD card, you will lose your GPS setup files.
The problem is I cannot transfer anything else to the memory card, I cannot install apps to the memory card.
Sometimes it looks like they have transferred but when i open storage card up on the device it's just the normal settings and nothing that I have transferred.
This is limiting me hugely, I cannot put mp3's, mp4's on my phone, I
cannot install games, I am left with just the basics.
Im going to buy an 4GB card today and see if that resolves things
I tried all the version found at official site
All can't be installed
any other suitable version for Topaz?
or other similar software?
Thank you
I used the one I got with my Diamond 1, it installs without problems and runs smooth.
Send me a PM if you want it, but of course I cannot give you my serial number.
After all, the web site does not really state that the software is compatible with the Topaz.
Version 1.0f.080514b is running without problems on my Topaz.
But actually I think I did not install it, but instead copied the Internal Storage from my Diamond and copied it on a SD card that I use now in my Diamond 2. I just had to get a new registration code from PenPower.
Dear all,
I have had the T-Mobile MDA Vario IV for about 6 weeks (I'm in the UK and it's running Windows Mobile 6.1). It is so slow out of the box. I immediatley turned off the touch flo thing which improved it a little.
I have a number of specific problems which I cannot seem to find answers for on the site and I'm thinking of installing the original HTC Software if that is possible.
I'd like to get help for each of the issues but if I can't, then I'd like help on how to flash my device. Here goes:
1. Text messages come in with +44 at the front. Phone calls come in without +44 and start 07. This means that people's names who are stored in my phone either show up in texts or calls, not both. T-Mobile's customer support answer: Store everyone in your phone twice, one with and one without +44. Thanks T-Mobile. I cannot imagine anyone ever creating a Phone where this is a feature, however, I seem to own one.
2. When composing a new text you have to got menu > new > sms instead of just new as you did with the Vario III. Infuriating. I'm sending texts, I only want to do two things! Reply or New. Grr.
3. If someone texts you who isn't in your phone book you have to add them before calling. All I want to do is click it and maybe answer a 'are you sure you want to call?' dialog box as with the Vario III
I am making the assumption that HTC didn't design a phone where point 1 is a feature and that T-Mobile messed this up.
How would I go about flashing my device with the base software? Do I have to set up the device to work with T-Mobile or will my settings be retained somewhere? I know that in doing this reset, my warranty becomes void.
How do I find out the exact model of my phone in order to select which download to use?
Thanks in advance,
Deve
I too have a Vario IV. In terms of your questions, it's been a while since I ran the TMob rom having flashed first to an HTC Rom and then to Tael's cooked 6.5 rom, so cannot actually remember the problems with the rom. In terms of phone number recognition, I do seem to remember that using a tool call Advanced Config which allows you do so - see last post in this thread (there will be other threads though so have a search using google):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-420076.html
First things first though, T Mobile did release an updated rom (on their site under support -> downloads). I do not know if your phone came preloaded with this update or not or indeed if it would cure any of your problems, but it might be worth a try.
If you want to flash another rom and I would recommend it (I found even the HTC rom to be way better than the T-Mobile one, and not just for a better colour scheme), then the method of flashing is well explained in the HTC Wiki (see top of page). Essentially you will need to "Hard SPL" the phone - simple enough procedure - which will allow you to flash another rom. I believe there is a method to revert to your stock settings for warranty purposes.
Read through the wiki, but the best instructions are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Before flashing, you will need to find another rom. To begin with, you might want to try one of the HTC WWE (ie English) roms. Have a look in the Wiki again for "Available Shipped Wm6.1 roms) and the links there will take you to the threads where you should find them available for download.
The HTC roms (and most cooked roms) have the advantage of setting up your phone connections automatically (I would think an O2 rom would install O2 settings only)
In terms of backing up, your outlook data will remain on your PC, but for other files not on your storage card, you could try installing Microsoft MyPhone (texts, photos and other things I can't remember). Once you have flashed your chosen rom, you can reinstall myphone and your data should sync back to your device.
The Hard SPL thread referred to above mentions PIMbackup as an alternative for backing up.
In terms of models, there are only two distinctions as far as I am aware - GSM and CDMA but I think the majority of the posts here are for the GSM system, CDMA has its own subforum and it always seems pretty clear from the threads if you need to be aware if what you are downloading is specifically for one or the other.
Good luck
All out of order, but hey!
As Jock said, there are 2 main "flavours" GSM & CDMA - you have a GSM one (it has a sim card). Specifically, you (almost certainly) have a Raph300 (its on the label behind the battery) although this extra information isnt much use to you!
Number ID's - Again, its been a loooong time since i ran the stock rom (i think it lasted less than a day before i changed it), but from memory of serveral problems, make sure you only have the numbers stored on the phone (not the sim card). I cant remember if thats a fix for the +44 /07 problems, but it does frequently crop up in similar cases. And the "advice" from t-mobile is utter [email protected]!
Flashing:
Yes - you will void your warrenty
However, you can usually restore the phone to stock, so should you need to return it, T-Mobile wont know.
For how to flash, see the guide here. -- For what to flash, please read (and then re-read) the rom forum.
The txt thing annoyed me so much i created a shortcut on the today screen to start a new txt, and also assigned the envelope key (slide out k/b) to start a new txt. Google AEButton for the mapping and use the syntax:
Code:
"tmail -service "SMS" -To """
For a shortcut - same idea, & it depends on what you use to display the links.
I have a vario IV too, and, altough I'm still a noob (I've got it from just a couple of weeks!) I'm running energy genesis rom and it's superb (even if it runs out of battery pretty fast).
Actually I haven't seen the original t-mobile rom (bought it used you see...) but with win 6.5 and manila 2.1 everything is very smooth!
