O2 has stopped selling the XDAiis

I have been looking at PDA/Phones and decided on the XDAIIs. I had previously seen it on the O2 web site but when I checked yesterday it has all the adds and specs but when you go to buy online it says" Sorry, this handset is no longer available; You may wish to make a selection from our current range, displayed below" Does anyone know if it has been discontied or if there is a new model in the pipline.

Well, you can still get it from other people! iMate, (expansys.com), etc.

dont know bout being discontinued, but they are making a big deal over the xda exec... nicefone.

It's available from the Orange web site as Orange SPV M2000

yep i got mine form orange

Hi,
I work for a communications company and we've just sold 10 of these to a company, all on O2.
Any probs, let me know.
CHeers,
Bret

i work for o2 and they had to discon it due to system problems
if you want anything get the i or the exec both well better than the s

Thats interesting to know. We are an O2 dealer so shouldn't someone have told us before we bought 12 of them?
How long ago was it discontinued???
Not amused about that at all.

Can you name the exact problems?

Bluetooth is one! Terrible BT hardware. Half a meter away and the cracks make the headset unusable. 22003SE and BT patches / WM5 just equally crappy :evil:
Just waiting for the Atom/Athena :roll:
In the meantime, my 2020 with 2003SE / automated Sin Merge is the best combo I tried. Thinking about moving to WM5 but the issues I had on my BA with ActiveSync/Outlook/Exchange server are making me think twice...
BTW, any news on FCS for Athena?

It's about effing time!! The Blueangel was not ready for sale. Not everyone knows how to hack a ROM and most business users need it to work out of the box which it defo didn't.
I know the problem: 02 didn't release the 1.40 ROM.
AND as I mentioned in another thread I have just broken my handsfree socket by mistake. I could fix it but I don't wanna take it apart and ruin the warranty.
I also don't wanna pay to have it fixed as I don't have ANY money. The down key is getting dodgy as well. I think I will go for a new one on insurance. Do you think they will gimme an Exec no that the 2s has been discontinued?
I only got the 2s as an insurance job for the XDA2 about 5 months ago. Do you think that they will be funny about it in the shop or will they not bother?

the s.... is crap

8GB SDHC on Jasjar???

hi I've had a look on the forum and I think the issue may be new - not discussed before. I seem to have some spare cash and wanted to buy a 8GB SDHC for my XDA Exec/Jasjar . However I haven't found any indication on the feasibility of this . anyone had any experiences positive or even negative ??
I'd be prepared to flash a different firmware to the device if that were to help matters.
thanks

Hmm it would be awesome to get SDHC cards working in Jasjar. Truly i havent tried SDHC cards in the jasjar but i speculate it wont work. Good luck

Someone posted 8GB cards are not working only 4GB so far

true! Transcend 8GB isn't working
i've tried it myself.

I can confirm that SDHC doesn't appear to work (out of the box) in the Universal. It just doesn't recognise there's a card present at all.
I am still investigating formatting the device in a different way (as discussed in other postings on this site) but i'm not terribly hopeful.

Try it on wm6

well , I bought an 8gb a-data v2 sdhc and it currently does not work . thing is , none of my memory card readers read it either . I'll have to get a reader that sees it to be able to say it's "broken" or not .
thanks for your input - if anyone else has anything to add it'd be nice

Well, maybe it is a late answer, but I did buy a 4GB SDHC card, actually I didn't know it is SDHC till I arrived home!).
Anyways, it didn't work on my JasJar nor on my laptop. I solved the issue for the laptop by downloading a fix that will enable WinXP to read SDHC cards (the whole matter is software based by the way, hardware is the same).
As for JasJar, it only recognize the card if you go to the 'About' icon in 'Settings' it will tell you that the expansion slot is in use - other than that the card does not exist!
Anyone got any updates?
cheers ...

hello fahapro ,
since then I have upgraded the firmware on the xda exec to one of the latest winmobile 6 incarnations as they have released various patches for sdhc use.
have a look at the stickies here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=357
usually the first page of each firmware mentions sdhc compatibility.
currently using my 8GB sdhc I was talking about previously

So the SDHC patches don't work on WM5?
I'm waiting for a definitive answer about the patches; and do they work with WM5. Some say they do; some they won't? And from what you described it's a software problem and not hardware issue which has already been discussed. So now I'm more confused than I was before LOL.

My 8gb transcend sdhc class 6 card is seen only as a 4gb with sdhc.cab in wm5.
In wm6 works fine.

Hi again,
Yesterday I found this article http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339526&goto=newpost it is about a newly released WM6 ROM, didn't try it yet, but, from the comments posted I guess it works with SDHC ...
As for WM5 I do not know of any patches for SDHC, I gave up WM5 long time ago

8 G memory card working on JASJAR
I am using Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.04 version on my JASJAR and its working charm for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339526&highlight=jasjar+wm6

Not quite definitive, but getting better...

So then it might be worth it to buy the 8GIG and either wait for a specific patch for WM5 or just go ahead and upgrade to WM6.

I suggest that you go for WM6.
Unless u use Video Calling, everything is better with WM6 ...

Install Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.08 WWE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352203).
It has many better features. AND, the SDHC fix works well with it ...

SD Card size

Hi Guys,
I've read through the forum and looked at the wiki, but I've not seen any mention of what the largest size SD card supported.
I've got an o2 XDA Orbit, and I was thinking about getting one of the new 4GB micro SD Cards, but I'm not sure if it would be supported.
anyone know? TIA

If the card you are looking at is sdhc it will not work in the artemis.
There are some (reportedly) non-sdhc 4gb cards out soon and in theory they should as do 4gb non-sdhc minisd cards in the wizard.
So at the moment 2gb is the max - i would choose a fast one like the sandisk ultra.

The card I was looking at was a standard SD card not SDHC, I found it on Play
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/3359487/Sandisk-Micro-SD-4GB/Product.html
Interestingly when I was looking at it this afternoon it was in-stock, now its marked as Pre-order...

I saw that too but i dont have the link - 50 odd pounds i believe - but i think its not out till june - try it out, if it does not work send it back.

I found it http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/3359487/Sandisk-4GB-Micro-SD-Card/Product.html
from the image it looks like its non-sdhc but ???
time will tell

meschle,
Do you happen to know if Artemis is able to work with microSDHC cards provided its firmware has been changed to the new one containing WM6 OS. (You might have heard O2 Germany has already issued WM6 ROM for Orbit).

That needs to be verified but i doubt if it will work as it has not on say the hermes with wm6 - but your right needs to be tested.

I asked because I 'd been informed that new customized hand made firmwares for Trinity issued by lvsw and mun. The authors stated the support of mini SDHC, and some users have already confirmed that. I am not sure whether drivers came together with WM6 or were extracted manually from other devices.

Orbit WM6
My Orbit is updated to o2's WM6 version and "will not" recognise a 4GB SDHC card ;-(

SDHC Driver already in XDA Orbit?

It seems there is some understanding out there that a couple of ROM cookers have made WM6 roms compatible with SDHC cards. However, with my stock O2 XDA Orbit, I found under the registry, HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\SDHC. The entry refers OMPA850_SDHC.dll and other settings such as ControllerIRQ, SDIOPriority and the dll file actually exists under the windows dir (43472 bytes)!
Does that mean O2's ROM has already got the driver? Or is that common to all P3300? And most importantly, has Orbit owner actually tried a SDHC card to prove it does or doesn't work? so if anyone can borrow a 4Gb card, probably from a Nokia N95 owner, and give it a go, that'll be great, I'm searching for a card too.

Amazon offers 4GB Cards

But I have to wait till next month cause I am a poor student

I believe that "SDHC" means in this context "Secure Digital Host Controller", and not "Secure Digital High Capacity". As far as I Know every P3300 has that entry in the registry and the library OMAP850_SDHC.dll...
It doesn't mean that 4 GB SDHC don't work in our device, and in fact I'm interested also in knowing experiences of users with that kind of memory cards
Sorry for my horrible english

Oh yes, this makes sense. I may have to switch to a WM6 rom for it. But when my gf gets the HTC Touch, I'll see if I can copy the SD driver from there
BTW, your english is pretty good too!

I-mate pda2k and O2 XDAIII parts

I would like to know whether the parts of my i-mate pda2k are the same with O2 XDAIII parts.. I want to replace the casing of my imate pda2k as well as the keyboard.. I am just planning to buy defective O2 XDA III to replace some parts on my imatepda2k.
Do all the screws, fittings, external and internal parts of imate pda2k same with O2 XDA III?
and the O2 XDAIII the same with O2 XDAIIs? they do look the same..

You should look in the wiki, you will see all the possible name variations for the BA. If I am not mistaken, the only thing that may change between models is having a camera (or not like the SX66). The only BA-type device that will have a difference is the Harrier (CDMA version of the BA) which has a few more important differences.

i believe there are actually more differences in the hardware specs, like two different displays or something and i do remember there was a table on the wiki and i know, whenever i look for it, i spend ages searching, i wanted to provide the link here, but actually, i cannot find it right now... again.

True, but if he is only looking at the casing, he should not be concerned with anything "under the hood". As long as the case is the same, he will satisfy his needs.

actually i am planning for to get the casing of a defective O2 xdaIIs, which similarly looks the same with the imate pda2k.. will i succeed with this one?
