MDA Compact from German to English possible? - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

hi guys,
Does anybody know if it is possible to change the language of the MDA Compact from German to English?
because i'd like to order one, but i dont want to be stuck wit this german language on my device.
thanks.

See some of the other forums for more details...But, to answer you question... Yes, you can flash the English ROM which should be available later this week from nowicom (which is where I assume you are buying MDA Compact???

What if I buy a German one from some other place. Can I still flash it with the Nowicom software?

Not sure. Where are you going to buy???

I'm not sure. Does it matter though? It the same hardware isn't it?

No. I'm just curious b/c I had a hard time finding a place to buy. :? nowicom is about the only place where I found it "in stock".

Can I download the german version from somewhere just in case the english upgrade of nowicom won't work?

Hey Katsj I ordered from nowicom based on some of your comments. Anyway, I just took a risk and have no idea how to flash the English ROM. The support at nowicom said it was a simple update and said she didn't know how to do it either :shock: Although, she said that she would find out tomorrow. My device should be shipped tomorrow

Mike believe me flashing a pocket pc its extremely easy! My MDA compact will be shipped tomorrow with UPS Express I asked for the fastest way and I am willing to pay the 92 euros for the next day delivery!
I will let you know as soon as I flash mine and I will give you all the details!

No, that's not what I mean.
I mean, does it matter where you buy it as it's the same hardware?
I'm just thinking that many people will be buying from German websites as that seems to be the only plave it's available in Europe.

I knew what you meant. :wink: But, I'm afraid I don't know the answer. Hopefully, more info on this will be posted by some others that are in the know!!

@katsj: Could you upload the English MDA Compact ROM, or even better:
Intellidialer.cab, Intellipad.cab (in ExtRom) and cprog.exe (in windows) . . . .

If I get the english rom then I will upload all the extended rom files. Nowicom didnt send us a link as they promised today!

Thanks! Looking forward to that! 8)

can someone, who have the compact in german already, post the german ROM files please?

Just had e-mail from nowicom saying that the english rom won't be availble until Monday now.
I'm not sure if I believe them.

I don't understand why you wouldn't believe them. You think they're lying?

Idem for the Nowicom E mail: available Monday

here's the answer from Nowicom to my last email (one hour ago) :
Hello,
we are still working on it. It could be that we have it today or during the weekend. It is not sure that it takes until monday. As soon as it is available, we will send it around.

O2 are really starting to disappoint me with their tardiness. and I work for them.
It has been confirmed as on its way but with no ETA. I hope it has radio rom .9 and the more responsive os build

Today they emailed me a "change" in their terms and conditions, and linked to a lengthy Ts&Cs page. Trouble is, they don't highlight what has changed and I have no patience to re-read the entire thing.
Same here, new contract, don't you hate it when they do that, I always feel like they are trying to hide something by sending the entire contract without pointing out exactly what has been added or changed! Perhaps it's just paranoia on my part <twitch>
I am hoping that the wait for the new O2 rom will mean we will all be pleasantly suprised at it's content, but don't hold your breath. I can just see it now on XDA Developers when it is released... "Why did we have to wait so long for this new ROM, it's crap!"
Oh well, figers crossed
Regards
There is a new build currently in test, based on the 1.30 ROM and 1.09 Radio stack. It will be without A2DP functionality.

o2 atom
when will it be out? i read on ppcsg.com that the latest rom will be out in 2-3 wks time....
i have a wifi problem with atom....hope the new rom will solve it...
If all goes as expected then your timescales are acurate :wink:
Jumped ship to iMate rom for the time being 8)
How is the imate ROM going? Is your Exec fast, more stable etc?

I just e-mailed o2 and was told the following:
the new ROM should be released over the coming weeks and will be posted at www.my-xda.com when available.

Pretty good, screen switching is faster than O2, phone signal seems pretty stable. Can't comment on the memory leak issues, because I'm not sure when the memory is being used for cache or when it is really leaked.
WiFi network finder has some nice changes, LIST of available networks now shows signal strength too, and alarms now have a "dismiss until 5 mins before event" thing - neat!
Thanks Doody, I think I'll give it a go tonight.

So are you saying O2 is not going to release an update with A2DP support?
if they dont and there are a number of us on the forum with mails from O2 to the contrary then we can roast them for misleading us.

I did not man to cause any confusion.
I have been lead to belive by a "friend" that a2dp will be supported. I will say no more about my friend.

what is there to be confused about ?

IMHO HTC messed up with the qtek s200

Hi all,
I was really happy to recieve my qtek s200 about a month ago.
I don't wan't to ***** and complain a whole lot about the s200, as it generally is a nice phone and overall good improvement over my previous qtek 2020 from some years ago. A few minor querks could be the low volume and placement of the power on/off button, but nothing I can't live with.
This post, however, is just to hear if anyone else feels, as I do, disappointed due to the fact that you are not able to change the roms, as easily, as you might have come to expect from HTC devices.
Come on! I buy a WM5 device for well over £350, and then I DO EXPECT that things will run smoothly, including rom upgrades. But, no! I for one am really dissappointed. I cannot flash any roms, that are available, outside those "soon to be comming" from the place I purchased. I am still waitning.
I-mate seems, however, to support their customers well, but qtek will not even recognise my IMIE number from the reseller where I bought my phone.
So now I have the option to either wait or pay extra to get a danish rom on my qtek s200! What will they think of next?! I can only say that I am beginning to loose faith in qtek and HTC for that matter.
Please prove me wrong :roll:
Kind regards,
Gnuig

You bought a Qtek! What did you expect? Didn't you do any research before purchase? We *always* have had to jump through vendor id hoops with HTC devices to load different vendor roms, just because someone writes a tool to get around this easily doesn't mean it actually is easy! and Qtek are *well known* for their lack of support - it's a reason often given why their devices are cheaper to purchase than i-mate. Moan about Qtek, not about HTC - they didn't make you buy a Qtek product.....and in future buy an i-mate, or JAFWM to load roms more easily or search for the leaked roms when they become available from Qtek.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for you post. I do see your point... I guess a more correct title for this topic could have been:
IMHO HTC messed up the qtek s200 -> IMHO QTEK messed up the prophet!
I do however, compared to my previously good experience with the qtek 2020, feel that HTC still made the device... so as to allow QTEK to lock it "more" from the other brand names i.e. i-mate, jafwm etc.
I do agree, I should have read more on the Qtek s200 before buying and xda-dev does a good job informing and all, yet it is difficult for anyone (especially a nob) to find just the right post... telling you NOT TO BUY the QTEK S200, if you hope for good support on a prophet.
Living in Denmark, I actually believe that Dangaard Data (qtek distributer) does give good support, just not on qtek's purchased abroad. I have learned from my mistakes, and still would say, IF EVER, I was to buy another WM5 device, I will only buy from a shop in Denmark... we also get 2 years service, which don't think you get abroad as a standard.
Anyway, you could be right about qtek on the average. I just whish I had purchased mine 1) either in Denmark og 2) NOT AT ALL.
Back to my Nokia 9500 for now.
Cheers,
Gnuig
I don't get it. Why do you want to change ROMs all the time? -- And why would that be such a strong determining factor in you choosing not to use the device, especially since, as you say, it's actually an improvement over your 2020?
Personally, I'm waiting patiently for the next official S200 ROM update from Qtek. I love my S200!

Hi to Ricardo and all.
It works !!
I could now make the shift from Qtek s200 English to Danish.
This is what I have been looking for in 3 weeks, because the Qtek-service in Denmark is not working until (last time I looked at www.qtek.dk ) the 18th of april.
Thanks very much !

Dopod U1000 now available in Singapore

I just called Hardware House this morning and they confirmed its available at S$1998...
BTW, the store is in Sim Lim Square, #05-66...
I hope I can drop by today...
I already got my on the last Saturday, RM4150. By the way i'm from Malaysia. I thought Singapore should be faster?
Hi chtan,
That's Great!
Some say it is already available in HWH since March 24 (Saturday), but I was busy over the weekend, so I was not able to go to SLS...
Hi Chtn
Can u pls let know the source from where u hv got the U1000..it seems much cheaper..pls inform the source.
WWE ROM?
Hi guys!
I just wanted to know if the devices in Singapore are coming out with a World Wide English ROM?
If so, could you be so kind to Extract it and share it with us?
If someone is interested, the steps are very simple, just follow the instructions that Buzz made for us:

Thanks for the input. Do we know if Dopod will issue a WM6 upgrade to its early adopters or will the U1000 be yet another device that gets stuck with the OS version that it is delivered with?
In HTC/Dopod's history and attitude towards its loyal early adaptor....
It is very likely we need to get WM6 via unoffical channel. (Like Hermes)
Especially, the model# change from 7500/ 7501...

Hah. www.dopodasia.com says new products from April 07 will come with WM6... Might as well wait a few more weeks before making a decision. Thanks for the pointer.

Well it's the french speaking part of Belgium
Darn, FNAC has already listed that device in their database, but at tremendous prices !!!
699€ bulk
499€ with an Orange Origami Star 3h contract
399€ with an Bouygues Neo.2 3h contract
they don't have it in stock. They hope to have the 9 in stock tomorow
**** man.. its too costly.. and I wonder if i can get engish version!!
The WWE model I ordered got delivered today (in Belgium) while the NL and FR version should arive at the distributor on friday, arive here on monday/thuesday.
They only initially stocked 5 of each but the WWE's were out of stock as soon as they got in stock
are you talking about btrade.be because it seems that they don't sale NL or WWE version ???
Sorry for my noob question, but I am new in the WM-Phone sector.
I want to know if it is possible to put a WWE ROM(so far I understand this is the english version) on my ordered HTC TOuch HD (which has a german ROM on it)?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the somehow stupid question.
Ascenca
With my collegues TTYNII I accidentaly flashed the WWE Windows Mobile 6.1 version on his without knowing it originaly was an NL version and it had no problem with that.
I wouldn't take my word for it though, there are many more knowledgeable people on the WM device subject on these boards.

As long as the ROM is for Touch HD you should have no problem flashing other language ROMs. If your device is branded you might need Hard-SPL though, read the XDA wikis for info (or stickies in Diamond section, it works the same way)
Thats good news! So beeing a fact that my HD wont be branded I wont have any problems to flash new HT ROMS on it. Excellent!
Does somebody know if there are improoved ROM's out there for the HD?
Thanks for the infos! Ur great, this forum is great!
how can you tell if the phone comes in wwe.
most of french mobile shop located on paris say that it's going to be officially release for 1st week of december..
what a joke..
I have waited for diamond for being release, and then the touch pro and now the HD..
almost 6 month of waiting...
and in december htc gonna release something better and tasty than the HD..

LOL... You don't understand my "Be carreful".... I am not sure that they have stock. Why ? Because this morning (at 10) they didn't have stock.....
What still worries me is that in the Netherlands, you can get the phone for free if you take a 35€ contract for 24 months, and in France I couldn't find it for less than 399€ with a at least 45€ contract for 24 months...
it's so rubbish !!!

Are you talking about the Toshiba Dynapocket T-01B for Docomo and/or the IS02 for AU KDDI in Japan? I believe it's also known as the KG01. I tried to get one here in Japan but they don't have it in English and the store said Toshiba won't be making it in English. Sounds fishy to me! Also looked at the new Android phone -- it's twice the size of an iPhone.
Anyone have an English ROM for the Dynapocket?

Yes, looks to be the same (K01). Don't know where else it will be shipped.

Yeah, its K01, in Japan it has sold ~400$ with name Docomo T-01b , anyone know link to download rom of it?

AU employee told me yesterday that Toshiba said they weren't going to make it in English. AU themselves were going to try and find the "program fix" for it instead of going through Toshiba.
