A quote from o2 support UK 28/03/03
"Thank you for your email. We still have no set release date but we are very, very close to launching the download on the site. I have recorded your email address and will contact you when the download is available.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Kind Regards,
O2 Data Support."
I replied
"Thank you for your reply at least i got one. (however no release date sounds bad news)"
Which Prompted this
"Unfortunately I'm not at liberty to set a date for the release. I can only say that we are very close to the release, and the final details are being ironed out.
I guarantee that when the release date is set, I will email you with the link to the update.
Regards
O2 Data Support"
Looks unlikely for a March Release chaps
XDA Upgrade
May not be too bad guys - got this from 02 on 278h March!
"We are expecting the upgrade to be posted on the O2 Uk website within the next 1-2 weeks."
We shall see...
OK, there has been a lot said about O2 UK and their lack of an official upgrade rom, unlike O2 Holland, Germany and Ireland.
To be fair to them, they have promised March and we have not yet reached the deadline so its unfair to slag them off about broken promises until they actually break them.
So, on Tuesday 1 April, if there is still no upgrade on their site, I suggest we ALL start emailing them (or ring them), and DEMAND to know why they have not released it as promised IN WRITING on their own website.
The email address for O2 UK xda support is [email protected]
I have just been in contact with O2 UK. The good news is they still intend to go ahead with the update today. The bad news is:
ROM - Version 3.14
Radio - Version 4.08
They are working towards 3.16 / 4.20, however this is a few (4 - 6) weeks away, as they are not yet happy that it is stable. They cannot yet guarantee a date for this.
For anyone with higher numbers than the ones to be release today, it is recomended that you downgrade, as 3.14 and 4.08, whilst not perfect, is the most stable build yet - hence their release today.
The only problem is, that the last connection used becomes the default. Therefore if you dial WAP, then later open IE, it will automatically dial WAP and hence there will be no content available.
There are also plans to provide long awaited documentation for the radio stack (probably 4.20 when it is released). O2 believe this is important, and are pushing heavily to release this information.
I'll keep you updated.
Hmm, German O2 already released version with REAL WAP & MMS EzOS client embedded. Shame on you, english suckers...
Good news. Radio stack is 4.16!
...and?? I had 4.16 for over two months
ROM Upgrade live
The upgrade is now live. 3.14.13 ROM, 4.16 Radio
Radio upgrade
I have ROM V3.14.13 already (dated 10/09/02) but Radio is V4.08. Can I upgrade only the Radio Stack on its own to V4.16 and is there any point? What improvements does the new Radio Stack make?
Thanks for any advice.
Paul
UK ROM update now available at http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgrade/0,,170,00.html
if it wasnt clear from the above thread.
Rom upgrade
I've upgraded my RMm & Radio Stack and all is fine except that it's wiped O2 specific software such as Action Backup and Action Update as well as MyO2. At the risk of asking a dumb question, where can I download these. Asking O2 technical support is like speaking to a politician: the question is simple but the answer is irrelevant.
Will those upgrade work on the Qtek 1010 without problems?
ARZLEB: yes, but I thought you have 3.15.15 which is WAY BETTER
I still can't understand why they release a 9/2002 dated update NOW??? I have update dated March 4th 2003 from T-M Czech, that's what I call SUPPORT!
bearing in mind the new O2 update only updates the radio if you already have 3.14.13 eng , if you use the XDA not on O2 network ie unlocked would it make more sense to update to a newer releash combination such as IRE version?
Zviratko, Thanks for your help yes i should have upgraded it to the version you have provided me with but i wasnt seccessful at all with serious of errors specialy with errors for replacing old files with older files any advice?

As expected the new rom was not on the o2 site, So i rang Data Support and was told the rom is ready and has been for a while, The problem is the people who update the o2 Site are now saying another week befor they can add the downloadable upgraded rom file.
I tried every option including begging for the upgrade but to no avail
We also larphed about a week to update a web site, so i think this means there is no real idea of when we will see th latest rom

Well thats excellent new, Thanks doing the updates now
John
The o2 XDAII website also has the update now...I've downloaded it this evening.
Anthony
So does the update fix the Bluetooth issues of not being able to send files and phonebook contacts ?
So Who produces the Updates etc
So who produces the images? I thought the ones on the i-mate site were well ahead of the rest (currently 1.52.00wwe), but now O2 have 1.6.
Yes the extended rom is different and not comarable, but are the main ROM versions - are they all the same??
And not to hijack the origional questions.. Does anyone know what (if any) bluetooth issues are fixed in the O2 release??
Thanks,
Ian

I just upgraded mine, it took about 90 minutes to do, and the bluetooth appears to be exactly the same. I can send files to and from my pc, but not to my mobile phone. However it would seem my T610 isnt compatible with the XDA2, but other phones are ( and hopefully all future mobile phones and Bluetooth devices ).
Theres still no proper profiles such as OBEX to allow it to be compatible with all devices.
Don't bother with this ROM upgrade if you are seeking a solution to the headset/handsfree issue.
It doesn't fix anything. It makes it worse.
Bad piece of code - keep away - save your energy.
Can someone tell me what the Qtek V1640 is?
I have been looking on the web and can't really find any information about it in English.
I've been looking to upgrade my O2 XDA II to an HTC Universal and have found that Vodafone are able to supply the V1640 which they believe to be the same as the Qtek 9000 which I can see from trawling through loads of info is the same as the XDA Exec (or almost).
Does this mean the V1640 is the same device?
Is it the same spec or is it a cut down version?
Does someone have a comparison sheet available for all the different versions of the HTC Universal?
Hi there,
I left Vodafone recently to get an O2 Exec. Their retentions team promised me they could get me a Qtek 1640V which they repeatedly promised was their name for a Qtek 9000, ie an HTC Universal. I spoke to loads of different people and they all promised the same thing.
So, I waited (lots of mistakes over delivery) and waited and eventually I received a Qtek 16*20* V... which is an HTC Blue Angel. Furious, I called up... everyone now insistent that the 1640 is unavailable from Vodafone.
Got my Exec now and it's beautiful, just beautiful.
My advice? Avoid vodafone if you want to ever get your hands on a Universal.
Matt S.
Hi Matt
Yeah I read your post before posting this one.
I orginally was with O2 but there service was appalling so I moved across to Vodafone I've had some serious difficulties with Vodafone in the past but persistence paid off and they are now very VERY helpful... In fact much more so than O2 every were so doubt I will ever go back to O2.
I know Vodafone are preparing the full launch of the product so they are likely to be suffering supply problems just now before they do.
Before they do and before I spend my free upgrade on the VP1640 I want to make sure it is up to spec.
Do you or does anyone else have any more information that can shed light on the VP1640 please?
Anyone can help out on this?
Received the V1640. Nice looking device.
Photo's to follow shortly.
In fact received 2 One for myself and another for my partner.
I can confirm I have a V1640, took me telling me they did them before i got one, but it is definatelty a Universal!
What is your device info tiger zero? i.e. Rom version, radio etc

This is O2's current response on AKU2 for the Mini S:
"We will be launching a new ROM for the Mini S, unfortunately we
cannot state when this will be. We are planning to launch the next
service pack for windows mobile 5 called AKU 2, which I assume will be
the same as i-mate."
Trying to poke for more specific...
Dip
that would be nice, lookin forward to this update!
O2
At least something is on the way, but how does O2 announce when updates become available?
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaminis_soft.html when the update is released it will be here
I have been on O2's case for ages regarding this, this is the response i got today;
Thank you for contacting O2 Customer Service.
I am sorry for any inconvenience that may have been caused.
However, we have not yet received any updates when the next software update is due to be released on our website for the O2 XDA® MINI S, which will include the 'push email' feature. This is the reason that we are unable to help you directly with your query.
Please keep on checking our website for further software updates for your phone. To check the updates, please click on the link below:

They said they're currently doing 'internal testing' and still don't know when they'll be realeasing it...and no, they are no excepting external beta testers

Got a unit the other day that was used, so they sent me out a replacement, and it has WM6 installed - YAY!
Just waiting for my Micro SD card to arrive to see if I can load TT6 onto it (whihc could be a problem!)
I guess ROM updates must be due shortly for the rest?

ignore, its for the orbit not the hermes
tonyflow, that's interesting! I ordered an XDA Trion from O2 UK today. They were out of stock for a little while, so this must be a new batch. I wonder what OS they'll have installed...
Will report back!
The first unit I got (which was already used - which I was not happy about) was WM5, called their customer services, and they got a replacement out to me the next day - the box had a manual addition for WM6 - and when I powered the device on it was confirmed
I knew that O2 Germany had a ROM update for WM6, but wasnt aware of O2 UK having it! Saves me the hassle of upgrading and then trying to relicense tomtom in the future anyways
I got mine at the beginning of July and it has WM5 on it
I wonder if it would be easy to upgrade and if all the programs I have on it would still work.....
Anyway, I have sent them an email as to why the Trion is mot mentioned on the my-xda site (I became aware of it a while back when someone posted the seeo2.com for malaysian customers and I looked for the english version and re-visited it when it was mentioned on el-reg). Just hope a WM6 update is forthcoming....
Well, just called O2 as I saw the order had "Provisioning Failed" by it on their website. Turns out that they're out of stock - why they couldn't of told me this when I bought it I don't know - and it's contrary to what it says on their online store. So maybe, if I get a unit from yet another new batch, the chance of having WM6 increases?
