I'd like to upgrade my ROM to non-Q version, since I had this problem of stucking on O2 blu screen after soft resets due to hanged Phone function.
I talked to them and need to send my unit to Cirlcle Store for pickup .. takes 5 working days !!!!
Are they good ? I would also like them to changed my screen which has some dust ?
o2 in hk
i sand my xda to riper and they do a good gob so if you whant you can see it in the web in hk
boldi
:roll:
What's a riper ? Which web site I could check out ?
I took my unit at Wanchai Circle store(collection point) and O2 promised me 3 days SW upgrade ..
any comment ?
Thanks
I juat send it to HK for upgrade, the reason are the same as you have(phone hangs and softreset doesn't work), it is really good if they could fix the problem. anyway, my XDAII is from synergy I think
Sent it Saturday PM and got it Tuesday PM...
Talked to Debbie Cheung and she's good !
SW is now 14 from 13... feels faster..
But my unit had been opened ...??? :x
Just wondering why... ? will call them tomorrow..
Anyone try to install the update with XDAII(i-mate one),It make my XDA II not vibrate!!
A bit offtopic for this thread...
Interesting to see quite a few people in HK with XDA. Anyone knows if there's any good shops/places in HK to buy (cheap?) 2nd hand XDAs?

Official UK upgrade is here.
Rom 3.14.13
Radio 4.16
http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgrade/0,,170,00.html
very dissapointed really
No promised MMS, no signal improvements, and although I have yet to install, it looks like there is no fix to the following problems either
1 - SMS name fix, althought the patch on this site does that so feck em!
2 - Switching to phone app after sending sms AFTER a call has been made/received
3 - O2 CS in general, look at all the other international releases, yet O2 are still waaay behind.
4 - Action update is beyond a joke!
Kevin
What? 3.14.13? .... I am expecting a new rom with MMS fuction...
Is it just me or are people not bothering to read the O2 site properly.
They didn't actually promise the MMS update in March. This is due "later in in the year", along with modem capabilities and other stuff.
MMS or sms name fix is not built into any ROM available anywhere. I know somebody who works for O2 and has the next ROM/Radio being tested and apparently this doesn't have this either.
I agree, lets kick their ass on how long it's taken to release this, but lets get our facts straight first.
Lets be realistic. A lot of the stuff we want is not going to be available until PPC 2003, so we will all have to buy new devices by then.
absolute disgust !!!
this is a shambles I wonder how this company continues to exist ?
how can they promise items in an upgrade then basically take 4 months longer than anyone else to put out this "upgrade".
Seems to me like they have the attitude "we have your money so [email protected] you"
I WILL NEVER purchase another XDA from o2.
the idea was fantastic the way they treat people is an absolute disgrace.
could you imagine the rebellion there would be if you bought a telly that kept on losing the channels you had programed when it felt like it.
this was a total waste of money on my behalf.
I will go back to my ipaq and nokia combination.
does anyone want to buy a pretty ppc with a half functioning toy phone built in.
:twisted: :x
THIS IS CRAP!
radio 4.16 still has the unable to re-aquire signal unless plugged into the cradle.
****e ****e ****e I gave O2 the benefit of the doubt for tha last 6 months with the promise that this radio version would fix this problem but it does not. I repeat NOT !
now my blood is boiling time to start a campaign.
The problem with not reaquiring the signal is SIM card related. Get a new SIM card and the problem will disappear.
Atleast this is what I found.
amarko5,
So you have been waiting 6 months for an upgrade to fix your xda not picking up a signal unless in a cradle? And it never occured to you that you have a broken xda or sim?
Well done on winning the completely stupid 2003 award. How do you not fall over more often?????
Unbelieveable.
Now, now, settle down or there'll be tears before bedtime. It is ****e though isn't it? How many people do you think O2 have got working on software? Could it be as many as one? Do you think he(she) works full time, maybe he has a day job as a plumber, very busy time of year this! The nokia/ipaq option is looking good.

Unbelievable you are so wrong
I have contacted o2 on many occasions and it is a "KNOWN BUG" so keep your simple minded comments to yourself.
i have tried 3 sim cards in the phone and all are the same.
I have 2 friends who suffer tha same complaint and there are also many people reporting the same problem on the official source o2 website.
it occurs if the phone loses signal for any extended period of time and if the battery is less than 3/4 charged.
when dropped back in cradle the extra power seems to kick it back up.
if signal is not lost ie local in good area then the phone functions normally
even with low power.
get your facts straight before making childish comments.
P.S. i only ever fall over when i trip over idiots like YOU !

I could not agree more with your comments.
Look i agree O2 has fail on many level but their failure in understanding what we need shouldnt reflect on us... cool down and lets focus on how to get o2 to make the necassary changes
:wink:
Peace...
Yeah!

Being in the UK never helps
Why is it that we in the UK have some of the best engineers in the world. But we can't get a simple thing like a bleedin phone to work!
People come from all over the world to get education in the UK. We are a great nation. So O2 UK get yer arse into gear FFS ! ! !

Hi,.
I'm the first Guest who replied about it being the SIM card. I had the problem and I found that my friends O2 SIM fixed the problem. I ordered a new SIM card and it did the trick. If anyone else has the problem and their friends "NEW" SIM card don't fix it, then I too would suggest that it is your XDA that is at fault.
O2 say that it is a known bug which is true - but a bug that can be fixed with a new SIM.
Trust me or not, I was only trying to fix your problem.
@amarko 5
i have problem that may be same as you reported. phone frozen and does not load the radio on a soft reset ? impossibe to use, turn off radio etc. didn't think the power was low to be exactly the same as your problem tried putting back in cradle and on usb hot sync cable - nothing was running radio 408 and 3.14.13. only possible was a full hard reset reset which cured and reloaded radio. have now upgraded to radio 416 as per new o2 update. is this ongoing problem from your knowledge?? will an upgrade to 3.15.xx eng (dutch o2 i think ??) fix it as mentioned in earlier posts??
The Problem still existed after the upgrade (well several re upgrades as well)
I appreciated Guests suggestion of sim card but I have tried 3 simms now 2 of which are just a few weeks old.
It didn't solve my issues.
At present O2 support seem to admit they knew about it and have agreed to take my XDA back to fix (I really hope they do)
so at present i am without my XDA as it's in the post back to O2.
I really didn't want to mess with any unofficial upgrades as you suggest as it may have invalidated warranty.
I may have been a bit slow in getting this sorted but at first O2 just denied a problem it is only recently they seem to acknowledge it.
BTW this BUG seems to affect a lot of people of you read the newsgroups on O2 source newsgroups.
I hope you have better luck with the upgrade if not then i suggest a visit to an O2 shop or call the support line to return it.
dont suffer like i did.
I also hope they compensate me for the useless functionallity of the sp called phone but i have my doubts maybe i will have to consult trading standards or watchdog :wink:
time will tell and i will keep you informed of progress.
Is there some kind of matrix available showing which country is at what ROM/Radio thing? All very confusing for amateurs like me.
Also, would it not be more productive for HTC to do the updating, make it a universal download, but with localised add-ons available
If I'm hopelessly out of my depth here, throw me a lifebelt...
soft reset
Hi,
My xda have the same problem but after a few
soft reset or adjusting the power settings
it now works fine.
same problem

I had exactly the same problem. They suggested that i get a new sim card because the sim is 2 years old but i couldnt be arsed with that. i phoned XDA fault centre and they said i could send it back for repair. 3 days later, i got it back, and it was working normally again, with a couple of hickups.
hey, how is every one, its been i while since i posted, since everyone on here has a xdaII now :twisted:
any way...i freakin dropped my xda last night, in a druken stuper....the screen is all messed up...ill post a pic later, cuz it looks interesting.
any way, ...Has any one recently fixed their screen, ???
i want to get mine fixed as soon as possible, in the USA
well if thats not available, ill sent it abroad, what ever, I just cant see my self going bak to a reg phone
im sure every one understands :wink:
replace screen in XDA
I ordered a new screen for my XDA from these guys in the States... Shipped to England in about 3 days!
Price was fair too - as exchange rate favourable!
Quite easy to fit - if you're a patient person...?
End result isn't as "nice" as original - but for the price not bad. Screen feels kinda 'soft' under stylus... Not unpleaseant - but different.

I've been reading , and many ppl are having the screen alignment issues with the hermes, it seems the older version have been the one which are majorly affected the by screen alignment bug ,
I read the wiki , can anyone tell me how do I first check the serial no. of the device without purchasing it ? I mean is it on the box itself ?
as of now which is a safer version to go for considering I am going to use dopop838 pro
you can find it on the box.
ori
thanx u
now can anyone tellme which series in 838pro dopod is safe to buy ?
I have an early HTC Tytn and have not had any problems. Contrary to many people saying don't buy anything earlier than 63x. My serial number begins with HT628Fxxxxxx and it works great. The 28 represents that the unit was manufactured the 28th week of the year I believe.
now I am confused ,it seems like luck now , that someppl got issues , some ppl just dont
my problem is going to be that I won't be able to give the device back ,since in India there are no service centres , and I am asking my brother to get it for me from hongkong
so now 628 also works , anything i should I ask my brother to look out for ?
and lucky you eagle1 , your ppc working out smooth ,it feels good doesn't it , all that hard earned cash , finally spent nicely !!
Try to stay away from HT62XXXX and HT63[1-5]XXX series ... Some of them have shown SA issues if you are unlucky ..
I bought a dopod 838pro HT636XXX last month and it's NO SA but the keyboard letter not so sensitive....
for SA free --- look for HT638XXXX up for sure, but also look for keyboard issue...
Seems to be HTC hired a lot of dumb service/QA people this time..
368xxx up it is , now let's pray for my luck , my brother will go and check it out 2morrow ,i hope they will have 368xx or above in stock !!
fnger crossed
ok pppl finger crossed , in 2 hours bro will be at the airport ,finger crossed
Seems like it is now out ... :
http://www.expansys.fr/p.aspx?i=154231
They are clear ... they are available and already in stock !
I don't want to wait .. but it's not that cheap there ... 1344€ instead of the 1199€ on other site ... still waiting !
In germany also:
http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=154234
hehe, we will see
Germany, delayed
I don´t believe this:
fällig ab Montag 3.März
http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=154234
I see some shift on e-bay.
Hmm, I don't speak German or French (can't read them either) but both Expansys links had what looked like some clarification making me think Expansys changed their website since you posted the links:
Verfügbarkeit: fällig ab Montag 3.März
Disponibilité: Arrivage prévu Lundi 3 Mars
Could that mean something along the lines of Arriving Monday, March 3...?
This is getting even more ridiculous than it has been.
Expansys.nl says feb 29th...
i think there have been some HTC Shift arrived.. but they are all sold .. and now they are waiting for the next shifts to come ...
I'm not sure about it... but I don't see any other possibility
Any word on whether these have voice capabilities?
well some fresh news....
I have been to a store (in Belgium) and ask them if the shift was arrived .. and guess what ? The answer was not the same as usual .. here what he have said : "there are 3 orders and 1 for a client, 2 for the stock" ... WELL WELL WELL.... and for when ? ... "during january but we have no precise date" .... mmh.... I could order one but it's a little too early.
the offical distributor of htc germany tells me, in the begining of march. so I think the forecast of expansys (what is not the offical distri) is right... Some countries in Europe (not germany) starts a few days before with selling the shift.
so we waiting. I hope we can enable phone capatibilities and GPS features.
BG
Pre-Prod model of shift is very unstable and not well built. Booting takes ages...
Hope they will fix that!
booting takes 2-3 minutes I have read on a nice review... but the issue is resuming .. resuming takes about 5 minutes or even more ... I'm not completely sure about the exact time of both .. but if I remember well it was something like that.
The review was written by Hugo Ortega from GottaBeMobile.com and he has said something like "booting time is good but resuming time is horrible".
Some testers have had issue with the SnapVue .. but everything was a year ago .. so be sure that HTC has fixed everything, the Shift @ CES2008 was excessively well working .. so you don't need to worry too much
HTC Shift on eBay
Hi, I had bid on a HTC Shift on eBay but it has only 20G HDD instead of 40G/60G. Is it possible since all website said it has 40G or 60G HDD. Did they change the spec? OR the guy on eBay is scamming people.

Ok, so, today is THAT day.
You had to wait 15 business days or more (fuc***g damn slow SE repair service!), but tonight you camped in front of your SE dealer to get back your X1 as soon as possible.
But, since you have read xda (every day, with a page refresh every 3 minutes, because you love xda ), you know that some X1 are not really new or repaired, but SE had that great idea of giving you a refurbished one (please, read Mein Kampf if you have Vodafone and leave every hope to get a new X1 ).
So,what do you have to check on your repaired X1 to be sure that it has really been repaired:
1 - no more cracks (that may sound stupid, but... it's definitively not!)
2 - tricolour screen shows original HardSPL (so, it doesn't show "Olinex")
3 - There is no cooked ROM
4 - Touchscreen and buttons works
Any other ideas?
I'll get my X1 back in 10 days, but hope this will help other people avoiding them other costs and surprises!

True .
Check for scratches on the battery cover. Especially near the USB port. Check the camera for scratches as well. It sounds obvious, but many people don't do it!
Nice idea btw.
when u get the phone back from sony repair centre they always wipe it clean (like when u get a new phone).
i was lucky to get a new handset replacement but now there is a crack on this one too. i hope they give me another new one as i dont want a battered one that someone else has sent back (or my one back as it has been treated well)
I waited 15 days i got my phone worse than before i sent to service.There was no crack on my phone but after repair i got 3 different cracks and they changed my navigation pad and button.And they were not working correctly as well.I called se south africa they apologised and they said please re-book for repair and i did.I am waiting new results.I hope i am gonna gel my phone 1 piece.Lol.Lets hope.Cheers.
15 days and a cracked phone... what the hell, why X1 support sucks in that way? and, it's not SE, since I never heard someone complaining on other SE model support.
Will let you know as far as I get my X1 back... witha 3,5% probability that it will be *really* repaired (really sad about this point...)
