Windows Mobile 6 on O2 XDA Orbit - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hi all,
During the 3GSM congress lots of people tried WM6 and compared it on devices that ran WM5 before. It seems that there's a real global improvement with a noticeable gain of speed.
According to what I've read everywhere, the main weakness of the Orbit is its slow processor, so this upgrade could be very interesting.
I'm a complete beginner in this "all inlcusive-phones" world, so I was wondering, can I upgrade the OS myself (when available) or is it an OEM solution with no possible upgrade?
Thanks and good bye.

ok sorry,
by the way I saw a strange file on eMu*e called :
WM6 Crossbow (WWE) for HTC Wizard v5.2.660
maybe the beginning of a solution ?

no problems - just worth keeping it all together. For instance there is talk on that thread about the wizard ROM and why it won't work on the artemis...

ooh! ooh! I found it.

All the information and files you need can be accessed by reading the threads in the "Artemis mobile 6" area of the bulletin boards here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=362

For those that havent seem - and I only came across it today ...

WM6 installers for UK Orbits.

After installing the WM6 ROM from O2, the only problems I noticed were that 1) once enabled, the WiFi could not be disabled, and 2) the camera zoom did not seem to function, although number 2 may of been due to resolution, instead of a 'bug' of sorts.
Currently I'm using the Artemis_Touch_1.0_Lite_WWE ROM from these forums, and I'm pretty pleased.
You're right, the Orbits shortfall is its slow processor, however it does seem to be able to chug along perfectly fine with this ROM.
edit: note, also that the aforementioned site for downloading the O2 WM6 ROM, I visited this a while ago and the serial number that is present on my device was classed invalid.

I downloaded the updater - my Serial was recognised OK, and everything installed OK. Definately speed increases. I can certainly disable WiFi and the zoom on the camera is OK.
WM6 is certainly cleaner, more stable and I'm a happy bunny now!

I had the same problem, when using Firefox. Worked fine with IE though. One other thing - at first, after having my s/n validated, when I clicked the download link, I was routed to the HTC site instead of to the download dialogue. That turned out to be ZoneAlarm (licensed version) getting in the way. In the end, I temporarily disabled ZA and got the download.

WordNetCE

Hi All,
Well I've kicked off my first windows mobile project with a progam I call "WordNetCE". If anyone is familiar with Princeton University's program called WordNet you will know you can use it as a brilliant dictionary/thesaurus, amongst other things that are beyond a normal human's intelligence.
One thing I've found lacking for Pocket PC is a decent free dictionary/thesaurus, so I've set out to make one based upon WordNet which is free to distribute from Princeton. A person named Malcolm Crowe did the original .NET port for WordNet 1.6, so I modified it to work with the new WordNet 2.0 dictionary, as well as with the Pocket PC platform (it wasn't all copy & paste...).
It's free to download from http://www.ebswift.com/PocketPC/WordNet/.
Note though that I have only just barely kicked this project off, but the dictionary side of things is operating. You will find much of the other functionality isn't working, but will come online soon.
Please check it out and start giving me some feedback. Thanks.
Just fixed up a lot more of the functionality - it's more useable compared to what it was before if anyone had a chance to look. A couple of buttons are still not complete, as with most of the main menu, but it can do about 20 times more than what it could this morning.
Look very promising!
Just one question: Is it mandatory to store the WordNet database onto a storage card, or can I store it on internal RAM too?
the cab installer didnt work on my xda. T-mobile wm2003

At the moment it's mandatory, but there's no reason why I can't add an option. Not many people will be able to use main memory because the database is ~over~ 30 meg!

I wonder why? I'm using the T-Mobile 4.01.16 ROM on an XDA 1 and installed the CAB with no problems. Are you using an XDA 2? I'm not sure if there's any difference with the CAB installers between XDA1/2, or maybe there's corruption in the download file, I'll check tomorrow. VS.NET outputs CAB's for all the difference PPC processors, so I'll put them up ASAP to cover other devices than the XDA1.
Thanks for the feedback
Here's a screenshot that's also on the website :

I'm really sorry about that, my download algorithm had a response.end, so a "Thread Aborted" was being tagged onto any download. Changing that to Response.Flush seems to have fixed it, at least for that cab file.
Please give it another go, I do appologise for coming up with such a thread with a screwed download.

Hey man, no appologies needed. Great work, thanks for the great freeware. It worked great.
Thanks Iggy. Bear with me for a few minutes if there's any problem with the download, I'm just writing some referrer protection into downloads. It won't take long.
===OK, the referrer protection is finished and it's all working again...
I just uploaded a version I call 0.5 because it's 0.5% finished. Compared to the version since I posted last in this thread there's some major bugfixes; the adjective and adverb menus now correctly show, and there's versions for different processors.

sorry ebswift, the download links don't seem to work, and once you have fixed them what is the difference between arm & arm4 (xda ii maybe). let me know when it is fixed.
The download is now fixed ~again~...
I already responded to Iggy, but just so the group knows, ARMV4 is the one that seems to be uploaded to my device during debug sessions, so I can safely say that ARMV4 is somehow newer than ARM. So I guess anything XDA1 or upwards can use ARMV4. I have had both working on my XDA1 and I can't see any difference in operation, although I haven't tested for performance.
Nice job brother. Now works perfectly
Well I added the little convenience of the keypad popping up automatically, and popping away on lost focus. There's also a couple more menu items in operation. It's really not far away from working completely, most of the technical stuff is out of the way.
Just downloaded and tried, excellent work. Thanks for setting up the keyboard, makes it a lot easier. Looking forward to the final version, but so far excellent.
I just upgraded to 0.53 so the history works (or should work).
I'm really happy the way this project is going.
All features operating
I have just uploaded WordNetCE .99 with ALL features now operating. Please update to that version and let me know if there's any bugs. Thanks!
For those of you who tried that latest download and found it didn't work, it is now patched, you should be able to get it up and running now.

"This device is restricted from downloading this file t

My Qtek 9100 with the latest english generic ROM was working fine for months. This morning, I removed the SIM and put it back in. Since then, it won't activesync, I can't drag n drop files to it through Explorer, and when I try to download a CAB file via IE, I now get this error message:
"This device is restricted from downloading this file type."
Any ideas? I don't understand what happened to it! It's like it moved to a very strict secure mode all by itself. It doesn't make any sense!
It seems that my security policies are all whacked up. The device doesn't even see the installed applications in the "Software uninstaller manager" app anymore. I tried rebooting and soft-resetting, no good.
ok guys, in order to fix my problem, I NEED one of you to send me ALL the keys and data info from this registry folder:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Please export that registry for me as a text file and attach it here (or copy/paste it), so I can retype it manually on my Qtek 9100 phone (I can't import anything on my PDA atm as I can't download anything to it, it won't let me).
If none of you do this small favor to me, I am screwed. I would need to hard reset and lose everything (I can't back up anything).
Here Goes...
Ok, I am running the latest "T-mobile custom" ROM, ROM version 2.24.10.1 WWE. I should have no policies enabled... I have typed out all of the keys and values under this in notepad in the format name-value. all values should be DWORD. Hope this helps....
__________
Edit: My phone is a t-mobile MDa, don't think that should matter...
Thank you very much, much appreciated.
I have this issue but I can't view the txt doc can someone paste it here or email it me in the body so I can add them manually or if ur really kind email me the cab file.

I have not checked if changing these have fixed my issue or not so lets find out I will post back with the result. Should I try removing the additional ones found on my MDA?
Merely changing the security Policies as listed in the .txt did not fix the problem
I have this problem too, I can't even edit the registry so I can't even try to put the policies back again. By the looks of things that won't work anyway.
Anyone got a solution that doesn't involve wiping the phone? Not that I know how to do that anyway. I have an XDA Orbit from O2.
Thanks,
Sapan
Same problem here
I have the same problem (XDA Orbit 2)
Worked fine for the first few days - was able to download CABs etc. Then it just stopped. I've read elsewhere about root certificates. Could this be the problem?
this device is restricted from downloading this file type
I have had this problem on my HTC touch with windows mobile 6.
This microsoft bug can make you loose a lot of work, time and data.
Are the Microsoft programmers drinking while they work?

Restricted Download !!!!! Hum
Hello all. I also have a Qtek 9100 for more than 2 years.
Honestly i never had that problem. And i already flashed undreads of ROMs and software to it.
One thing is that i always have Backup Software for any eventuality. Things can always go wrong.
Tips
First - Try to use Resco Registery Editor,its a good Software to make any changes "Delete/Rename/Copy/Add etc,etc.
Second - Look for Its Right,the TNT Master. It will be dificult to find him as he is getting is Engineer Degree. You can also ask Octaivoi,he is a Wizard Master 2.
Third - Keep an exautive search in XDA Devs and eventualy you all will find the answere.
Fourth - Get a Backup Software,get back all the software that cant be recovered. "Eugenia software can always be recovered". And FLASH a new ROM. There are many,many Beautiful and advanced Wizard ROMs arround XDA Dev.
Hope that any of these tips can help
SOLVED!!! ThankS!!!

first had this problem with the empty "remove programs" list 6 months ago, glad to see this whacked-out solution that works!!
Conclusion: Microsoft Windows Mobile messed up the security settings, so let Microsoft Word Mobile put it back automatically, voila!
And ofcourse, I've read about this "fix" soo many times at so many places, and it works for everyone but me >.< I tried all the different ways theres to it, nothing worked. One more thing, shutting it off and THEN pressing soft reset doesn't make sense. Anyway I tried, and it didnt fix. Still got the file deletion/changing restriction. Can't sync, can't get online, download files nothing ... If only Microsoft cared to fix this. Anyone any idea? Dutch phone, Hi provider, rom version: 1.93.404.1 NLD
A Real Fix
Has anyone on this board found A REAL FIX to this problem?
Because I just got my tilt 6 months ago was doing good and now cannot download, cannot stream, cannot play cellular videos, radio.
I have tried the office word solution. That did not work for me!
Is there a Real Solution?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I'm sorry it didn't work on your device. I had the same problem, no sync, no file copy/rename on the device, no cab install, no programs in "add/remove programs" on my Mio A702 thing. The MS Word solution worked smoothely and now I have everything as it should be. So I can confirm the "word thing" actually works . Don't know why it won't do the trick in your case

unable to browse web pages properly ???

Hi
i am having a problem with browing any website on my PPC, the problem is that when i try to open any webpage it stalls on 1kb and it only opens the page partially.
I read another post and they managed to solve this by selecting the correct encoding which was Western European. is there any other possible reasons why this type of behaviour will be experienced on the device?
hope te hear from the superior knowledge of the forum members.

I had that problem when I used one of the custom roms. When I flashed the stock t-mobile ROM, it went away almost completely. Once in a great while it'll happen but I'm talking like twice since going with a stock rom. Couldn't tell you what the difference was as the stock rom performance was fine and I didn't really care enough to look into it further.

I'm pretty sure it's a connection issue (I've had similar problems with, say, non-CrEme 4.1 + Toonel pre .54 combinations - see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/ConfigureToonel45.asp for more info).
BTW, what ROM do you have?
MTU settings could it be the reason ??
Hi
Just to let you no, recently i travelled to another country and i decided to get a sim card and test my device in this country, surprisingly it worked fine i could browse with no problems.
only from in my country on my network do i get this strange behaviour.
Do u think its related to the MTU settings ? if i adjust this then mayb it will allow me to browse, judging from your response i noticed that this option that you suggested is to reduce bandwidth usage therefore allowing to view pages faster.
Thanks kindly
reo
Yeah, this seems to be a problem with your wireless operator. (You could still give a try to it in a, say, inexpensive, GPRS-capable "dumb" phone like the S-E t68i / t610 connected to your PDA / notebook)

You can surely give a try to Toonel (I've BTW linked in Toonel because, under WM5, the (old) Java version has exactly the same problems with old(er) Java environments - I've elaborated on this problem a lot in my articles. That is, the problem was similar to that of yours).
thanks for your help it is most informative, i am currently loading the toonel to test and i will post my results here.
thanks again

setup using newer versions of the program, i hope it does not create an incorrect behviour.
setup toonel have just a quick query
Hi
i have managed to setup toonel version .50, using creme 4.21. i have pIE and this all on a WM5 OS.
i did not utilise the link i just executed directly from the toonel.jar file.
now it is running but i would like to just clearify that i done it correctly.
about the connections i used the method u suggested and created a new connection under the top selection which is used for programs to connect directly to the internet and named it toonel, and made all the adjustments on proxy, i also put the details of the modem which is the GPRS connection for my country.
now i am ready to use.
i have a question about the tab in Toonel called WEB, is there any setting that i should have setup in here, it has a an option called Parent Proxy address.
Regards
reo
HI
ok, i had to reset the device for things to start working properly.
now i hve to use the link, it doesnt set creme as the default JVM. so after i execute i get an error saying **cant find class client.WebUI
im sure there it is a path issue, but not sure about where is the web.ui
reo
Don't struggle with the Java version - use the new PPC-based one. See http://pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/ConfigureToonel54.asp .
(Sorry, I've linked in the older Java version because it produced exactly the same symptomps under WM5 as yoour case, not because it's the Toonel version I recommend for you.)
hi
ok, i see. the behaviour i am experincing you noticed it using Toonel java version.
have you get any ideas what could be causing my problem ?
Now we no that it is probably a problem at my network, however is there any way to over come this ?
i actually noticed 1 thing, Magician S100 QTEK works on my network properly!!
any ideas what could be the difference ?
what are the chances that it is related to the UAProfile ? if so how could it effect the browsing ?

no luck with toonnel with "unlimited internet tzones"
now that tzones offers "unlimited internet" ( http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2006/12/got_tmobile_tzo.html ) I tried to use toonel with my wizard to speed up the connexion but didn't have any chance ... I tried the 3 versions on http://toonel.net/downloads.html (I even installed the Creme JVM) though ... some ports must still be closed ...
any idea/comment anybody ?
PS :
the good thing with "tzones unlimited internet" is that I can now use opera mini, gmail java, google maps java, etc ...
i had the same problem with uk tmobile. i called them and they said it would be fixed soon-and a few days later it was!!
maybe call your network provider before messing with your phone settings

Has Anyone Tried the new Update from SEUS?

As some of you may know, SEUS has finally put up the R2A firmware for the X1. Someone from another forums said that the new official firmware is newer and has more features than the one that we can find in the ROM development section for R2A UK. Does anyone know the actual differences and whether or not it's worth the time to update?
its in the rom development section!
Norti has even has a list of what files have changed..
However I've been having a look and there's a huge amount of new files in the SYS that weren't in the last build.. (it looks like the "OS" folder wasn't populated in the "08" build).
Ive not flashed yet.
I'm sorry, but after looking for a few hours, I still cannot find the actual post. Is it possible that you can link me?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3357724&postcount=721
If you're referring to that post, I have no idea what it means really.
I have NO idea how much or how little has changed but I have to give the new software a resounding HELL YEAH!
I don't see any different functionality yet. BUT........ my Xperia is AS fast after 4 hours on the Sony download as it was after a week WITH the R2A_UK and Xperiatweak memory tweak. The panel selection is super fast and access to menus as well as their selection is INSTANT!
It ran great on the R2A_UK downloaded off the boards but my Xperia is running like I expected it to run out of the box. I have loaded gtrags icons/taskabar, youtube+panel, facebook,advanced config, Tom Tom7.9 and run the hell out of all the programs. I have intentionally left all programs running in the background instead of closing and installed no memory tweaks at all.
With EVERYTHING I can run at one time going (including blue tooth and wifi AND enterprise push) I have had no lock ups. It slows down on video playback of course but this is the first load where I haven't had to poke the little stylus in it's favorite hole for a soft reset as soon as I start flogging it so soon after a fresh rom.
Be warned that the reload took 30 min for my Xperia to load from sony. I don't know why it took so long but it did.
Bottom line, what ever changes were made were surely small, but it really helped my unit run well. I may be only do to cache not having to catch up as much as with the previous two revs I have had.
So it is worth the trouble of updating?
Edit: Or should I wait for DuttyThroy's ROM.. hm...
I tried the SE-US for me swedish X1 and it told me I already had the latest FW. Is this new edition only for english devices?
Someone has posted an alarming thread, they said they updated to Rom2, through SE Update service, and the new ROM has no mobile office.
Please tell me they are wrong and mistaken
Is this the same update that was on emma a couple weeks ago?
About this mobile office thing:
it should be under START Menu, right after Today! Another way to test if office if there, open a doc in the phone...duh!

So you would suggest flashing to R2A010 from R2A008 then?
I would say yes, as I have seen a nice improvement over 8.
It has been suggested that maybe my 8 load wasn't a clean load and the 10 loaded directly from Sony was. I don't know, but I have seen a very nice improvement in the overall speed of function and video.
One funny thing is that when I tried the xperiatweak memory tweak, my phone actually slowed down a bit. Huh? I wonder why this is.

The response here for the new firmware over SEUS seems good, will update mine after I get back my phone for the casing replacement.
I have tried the SEUS and it tells me no update is available, this is for a UK O2 phone. Should I be able to update this?
Thanks
Ant
The one on SEUS for UK just now is for generic/not network locked phones. I'd imagine the O2 version will be online later this week or next at the latest.

Ah that would explain it, thanks So if I wanted to update I assume find the generic ROM in here? I cant think of anything I need from the O2 stuff.
Thanks

Yup, go into the Xperia Rom forum and you'll find it there. It's very simple to do - dl the .exe file, extract it to get the image file, rename the file (details are in the forum, I forget), stick it on your micro SD card, restart the phone whilst holding volume down and power. It should then kick in automagically!

Someone has posted an alarming thread, they said they updated to Rom2, through SE Update service, and the new ROM has no mobile office.
Please tell me they are wrong and mistaken

Trouble after the update!
I don't know if anyone is experiencing this problem but after the update i can not connect to the internet. I can connect to windows messenger and AIM. If i connect using Wi-Fi i have no problem using the internet but when i'm out and about i want to be able to access my internet. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or know how to downgrade the firmware?

New Offical ROM 2.07.51.22 (UK) ??

There was a new ROM listed on the HTC (UK) site earlier and now it has disappeared. (Release Date: 2010-06-17)
If you goto http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=2 you will notice that it isn't listed there.
If you goto http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=960 you will see the details of the ROM (2.07.51.22)
I have tried to download this but it rejects my serial number. Anyone else have any luck trynig this?
I tried searching the forum but couldn't see any posts on this yet.
For me it is there.

Can you download it? When i goto the main list of ROMS it doesn't show up. If i goto the direct link i can see it, but can't download as it rejects my serial even tho i have a WWE unbranded handset. I'm currently on ROM 1.66.
I can't load it, because I've a German device. But it is for me in the list and it is marked " Date: 2010-06-17".

This is weird! It did show up for me as in your pic but it has now disappeared for the list. This is what i have in my list :
odd, that looks more like a radio version than a rom version. can't try the download though, not on pc. hmmm.
I have now tried another WWE Serial that was posted elsewhere in the forums and this also doesn't work.
Has anyone had any luck downloading this?

Yeah, but there is quite an "extended" changelog provided by HTC - I didn't know sth. like this from HTC until now...
I've just entered the serial from under the battery as well as the serial from my current ROM (energy june 11th) no luck with either
Don't see it anymore...

o2 uk serial works.
edit - oh you beat me to it, hehe.
Looks like the version number is a radio version after all.

seems to be last O2 released rom, as well?
So - this is nothing new then.......................
I have emailed HTC to see what they are say.
I hate HTC for that. Why do they always release something and name it after sth. completely different. After a couple of customer-complaints and corrections they will change the information... Are there only idiots at work?
It was the same with ALL branded ROMs here in GER, and the famous SMS-Hotfix is still a RADIO...
HTC, you should rather care for your customers than going to court vs. Conflipper... and your E-Mail-support - it seems that the only condition to get an engagement in your customer support is being able to breathe autonomously... when I came from SE to HTC, I thought customer care could only become better - but HTC is just a whole freakin' mess...
BTW: a 2.07-ROM for EUR woud have been strange anyway...
Sorry, for getting OT...
lol, maybe it's a response test on us lot, , see how quickly it gets found when they put something on the server,
So is this really just a Radio upgrade? Because I'm currently on Stock 1.66 WWE Rom with Radio 2.10.50.07 from Middle East & Africa HTC site.
