And the answer:
Thank you for your inquiry.
We here at HTC definitely understand your concern about having the latest software available for your device, in this case regarding a Windows Mobile 6.1 update. Currently there is no information available regarding a release date for Windows Mobile 6.1 on the HTC P3600i.
Gal, I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

Hey Gal
I did the same about 4 to 6 weeks ago and got a response from HTC Australia they they would not be supporting the P3600i with regard to any updates at all.
This is why I was so pleased that Olipro was able to come up with his Hard SPL.
At least now we have some opportunity to keep our "Expensive" non supported devices current for a little longer.

but still there is no stable wm6.1 rom for our devices...

in my opinion, there never exist a stable rom for any device.... every day is appering a new problem, a new solution is found.... when it come up a new radio/program version, it comes again new problem....
how to solve this.... make a backup every day, and put it where you can get it anywhere and anytime!!!

This is correct but not in rom that every night does hard reset without know why...
There is stable that you can work with the device but you have some problems... that is usualy
and there is "stable" without any bugs... That doesnt exist in any software in the world

Well so far I am pretty happy with the PDAViet 3.2 ROM. I am not sure if MMS is working properly or not...though that is no big deal for me. BT is working, battery life is really good as is memory...there don't appear to be any large memory leaks. I was concerned that it was switching off the screen on external power even after I set it to stay on but found there is a now a power saving feature for the battery and that needs to be set as well (it overrides the screen setting).
My only real gripe is that it uses Mozilla 4 as the browser and I haven't really figured it out yet. I might look at other browsers but I don't use it much so its no big deal.

An observation about upgrading to Crossbow

Amidst all the furore about the availability of 3 similar crossbow roms for the Universal, I have become increasingly amused by the number of comments from various people in the various threads, complaining about certain things not working, which sometimes work for others and then qualifying their complaints by saying that it is critical that the failing apps work on their devices and are desperate for help....
At the end of the day, if any of your apps are that critical then you shouldn't be upgrading - particularly to Crossbow, as it is very much in its infancy at the moment. I have no doubt that within a short while, the various Rom magicians here will have a number of alternatives available that are 'relatively' stable but anyone who depends on the functions of their Uni to the degree where they cannot survive without them should leave well alone....
Just my opinion
I entirely agree.
Guys, the WM6 roms should not be used.
If you happen to use it, backup first, bolt your windows, and suck it up if you loose your device, your data, or your innocence.
You will of course screw your warranty and a puppy will die. C'est la vie.

I agree with you, it was the same situation back in the days when WM5 popped out
How true! By upgrading to WM6, you implicitely accept any shortcomings, bugs, missing functionality etc. Period.
(We should stick something along this line in a large fontsize on both the frontpage and the forum frontend. Maybe even in blinking red
Can I downgrade to WinCE 2.11 and get a version of active sync that will work on Windows for Workgroups 3.11 please?
Just want to make sure I am using something well established with all of the fixes, and years of background knowledge available for it
Oh, and I will need a serial to USB adapter so I can sync hehe.
Well, there are a lot of people around who want to upgrade to WM6 despite the fact that they have no idea what they're doing. If the average user sees an upgrade to a "New OS" they're probably more likely to give it a go than they would if it was just an upgrade for a bugfix or a re-arranged contacts database (rightly or wrongly).
The intelligent ones will do a bit of reading before deciding whether to even attempt the upgrade. But there will always be some who get themselves in a mess because they've rushed into it.
Fortunately, everything they need to know to get themselves out of their mess is on this forum somewhere - Unfortunately it seems many can't even be bothered to search - so the same old quetions are bound to be asked a hundred times over the next couple of weeks...Still, we all try to be helpful, don't we? (Even if it does get tedious at times!).
lol, no, it bugs the hell out of me, hence the reason I posted this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290234
I was a n00b once, I don't think I posted any lame questions, maybe some, I can't be bothered to go back and look, but from memory, it was only after I couldn't find it with the search that I asked somewhere.
I don't have anything critical I just have to run. Sure, there's software I have bought, and would be irritated if it didn't work immediately after an upgrade, but I am happy to take the risk, I have a Univeral and a Wizard, so I can always use the other if I have problems on one.
It's like this on anything though, something new comes out, everyone thinks they are an instant expert, messes it all up, and then begs for help because they were too lazy and stupid to read a few pages that would have explained it all to them.
Help, I just flashed my Universal to WM7 (Photon) that I downloaded from your website, and now it does not come past the bootscreen anymore ... I need my machine yesterday because my life depends on it, and I did not make a backup and now Microsoft has caused me to ruin my machine causing me to go out of business and you have to help me since I got the rom update from your website!!
(hehehehehe)
Well if you can get to the boot screen, all is not lost.
Get some superglue, and put a few drops into the USB socket.
Plug it in, and give it at least an hour to dry.
Now carefeully hold your device in one hand, and the cable in the other.
Now pull the cable out as fast as you can.
This shold prevent any further upgrading issues, or problems from ever happening to your device again.
Partially I agree, but i mean normal (lame) user who wants to upgrade only to show his palls couple of different # on boot screen. but i think helmi, ivan, indra or all else would never do good,working rom (like ivans aku 3.2, helmi 3.5), which are stable w/o feedback.
worst is here is helluva lot of people with prob."i tried 2 upgr. 2 wm6 & got COUNTRY ID err)
I love wm6 http email function. And somebody get the wm6 messenging in wm5?any hacks?
My mate sent me this, just some info that most people Know.
Testers of Windows Mobile Codenamed Crossbow (or Windows Mobile 6.0) have leaked at least 2 versions of the pre-release online,
According to our source betacollector the pre-release is incomplete, missing a few functions but working fine.
No Windows start orb here, that seems to be cropping up on everywhere on Microsoft software now, but then again WM6 is not yet final -who knows if that will be included in the final release.
The leaked version specs: WM6PreRelease.rar (54177kb) Build date 1/12/2006 (15341.4.2.0) Rom 2.00.02.pv / External Rom 2.02 PDAVIET
Theres also a second one WM6CB.rar weighing in at 59608kb for the MDA Pro / Universal or qtec 9000 that one is older than the above mentioned leak.

Hahahahaha!!
Don't try this at home!!
I did an upgrade to WM6 on a fairly new 9000. Took me almost 6 hours to complete. The damn thing got stuck in the bootloader, lost my RADIo ROM, got it "bricked", managed to un-brick it again, lost my EXT. ROM, but at the end, it worked out and now the "damn thing" works fine on a brand new WM6 ROM. Exept for video calling and a few minor bugs I have no complains.....
Moral of the story. I am a man. Men like to do technical stuff. If you do not know what you are doing, stay off the damn thing. If you like to inflict pain on your self, but know what you are doing, just do.
Fooling around with some new gagets is cool. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't........
In my case, it worked out. Me is happy.........

Poll: Which WM6 do you prefer?

Alright, I've completly had it with the t-mobile rom on my tytn. Befor this phone I used to have a wizard which I flashed almost the same day that I bought it, but after a while it broke down on me and I didn't get a new one (warenty issues)
Thats the main reason why I havn't flashed my tytn, but the t-mobile software is such a pain in the ass and WM6 is so much better then 5 that I'm just going to do it, screw the warrenty.
The question now is which version of WM6 shouls I flash. Is there a single version that definitivly leaves the rest behind?
Did my Vario2 with Black 2.5 yesterday. TBH, I don't know what the fuss is about. It's not noticably faster, and it was a big pain in the butt reinstalling everything. It also introduced a bunch of new bugs I didn't have before. On the other hand, being able to read HTML email has really changed my life. I'm sure for some people the changes are worthwhile, but for me it was not.
I extracted the TMob UK rom before flashing, so PM me if you need it in future.
I think this is a very important poll at this point.
There're so many WM6's version, and I am still using blackV1.X
Hesitating all days and looking about all the different versions, couldn't make a choice.

I agree with you completely here. The standard T-Mobile rom is sh*te to say the least. Many instability probs. The wizard was a much more stable device IMHO.
I flashed Custel WM6 Pro V1.2 a couple of days ago and it has given my phone a new lease of life. Highly recommend it apart from warranty issues. This seems to be the most recent rom revision out of the the cooked rooms available. The support from Custel is excellent and it is still being developed, 1.3 will be out soon.
Hope this helps.
Jeez - Another Poll !!!

WM6 Update conclusion

Hey Guys
i just considered installing the new WM6 Update for my German O2 XDA Orbit...
but as far as I read, I came to a conclusion, its not yet worth installing because of the very poor battery life? Or is this "registry hack" mentioned in another thread really working?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:00000000
Did anybody have a good experience? I am still unsure.
Thx for your hints!
Vic
i have edit, customized and write to XDA Orbit extrom, this is work perfect and i have not problem with battery !!
look this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296276
I'm with you on that nicknicker. It is tempting to do the WWE WM6 but it doesnt seem like it would be as stable as I would need it to be. I travel a lot and relay on the calender/wifi/and email functions of my phone and risking stability is not in my budget. I guess one could ask why I even bother playing with it in the first place...but what I have accomplished thanks to this board has been worth it. I am going to wait for the HTC or O2-UK WM6 release.
I am however very impressed with the fact that these people were able to do this...
i did the WM6 english update as it is described in this forum 5 days ago and the only thing i can say is that its AMAZING !!.. everything works fine , super FAST and i have absolutely no problem..
i havent noticed any battery problem and definetely i will keep this rom.
i recomend it!
My P3300 is running faster than with WM5 before. The battery indeed seems to drain a little faster than in WM5.

Not realy working for me.

Is this not because you're playing with the phone more now that its WM6? I know that when I first got my Artemis the battery life seemed appalling after my previous SE device. After a few days once I'd stopped playing around with it so much the battery life seemed to get better (possibly the battery becoming better conditioned after a few charges?) and even now when I use it more it obviously lasts less time.
Have to say, no issue with battery life since WM6 upgrade here.
I did the OS upgrade only as my device is still CID locked. Perhaps it's something in ther radio flash from the rest of the full package.
I did the upgrade, battery life is worse, but machine is pretty faster than B4.
Another issue is that the call-auto recorder Vitonote software ainta able to record calls anymore. I am waitin for un update.
Each time I did the registery hack my ppc goes bad, with new "extendROM" appears in my storagecard??? wondering why?
Is there a way to flash the windows mobile 6 part only and keep the existing radio version 02.67.90 ?
TIA

This WW6 doesn't touch your radio version at all cuz it aint complete ROM, so Don't worry about Radio here.

o2Customer services and WM6
Not sure if this is too relevant to the thread but thought i would share anyway!
I spoke to th lovely people at O2 UK whom suggested the proper release of the WM6 rom for the XDA Orbit (Artemis) will be the back end of the summer!
This being my first XDA, is the the kind of support you get from O2 UK? I mean, Germany have the ROM already available as a download, not only that but their site is far better and far more informative!

Followed this up. Reinstated the original t-mobile ROM then did the OS upgrade keeping my old radio 02.49.90.
Seems to have worked well. There doesn't seem to be any issue with the CPU being ramped up and so far the battery life seems much better.
Maybe the t-mobile devices don't get on with the latest radio version?
ps does anyone which drains the battery faster exchange server or imap checking every 5 min?

Samsung i780 - Is it possible to run Hard SPL and other ROMs?

Hello Everyone!
I want to thank you all for making this site so informative and to the point - as I have been a frequent visitor since the days of my first (original) SPV. I have finally decided to try a different phone to my usual HTC choice and have just got the Orange i780 (which is a great phone! )
I was wondering if it might be possible to run something like HARD SPL on it and then put on a cooked ROM as the supplied Orange ROM is, as ever, far from thrilling. I would appreciate any help and if anyone wants some more information about the phone (as so little is currently available at the moment) ask away - and I will reply as soon as I get the chance.
Thank you!
I was going to get one of these, is it worth having? Have orange removed all the samsung stuff and put on their own stupid menu?
yup- they have. But its a gorgeous phone so as soon as it becomes possible to put new ROMs on it, it will be one of the best ones around in its form factor. Its nice to have something that feels half the weight of the TYTN2 and more than half as thin
Has anyone got an english rom working on the German Version of the i780? I see it is availiable on www.handit.de at a much cheaper price.
Has anyone tried the SDHC compatibility yet, I want to order a MicroSD card and will get the 8GB if it supports it?

Definetely. It's the fastest WM device ever. The mousepad is really cool. Better resolution (also yet, many programms have problems with it, not correct displaying etc.). Amazing build quality.
One thing that's missing is a cooked rom. The Software has bugs over bugs. a developer customized rom would be amazing.
But the device itself and esp. it's performance (processor) is the best ever!

As a favor to the community would you be so kind as to upload the SDHC drivers from the i780 to the FTP section of the site? That way people with other Samsung devices (SCH-i760, SGH-i760, SCH-i730 etc) could perhaps get full usage out of their SD Cards? The SGH-i780 itself looks pretty cool. Did it come unlocked?
Re: drivers
Hi Dominick,
I would e happy to help but have no idea what thedrivers you are talking about are or how I could get them off the phone - so if you can give me step by step instructions, I will happily do so. No, the phone is locked - and I can't wait to be able to put on cooked ROMs and use another SIM with it. Apart from the ROM gripes, loving the phone!
So in the i780's current state is it full of bugs?...generic and orange branded?
Also,would it not be possible to dump the rom from the generic and then flash to the orange branded device.
Thanks
J273
You make it sound like putting on a diff ROM would be very easy - please let me know how! I have always had to use HardSPL and other methods prior to that... Itsnot really full of bugs, its just the annoying ROM orange with useless things there and ... well I just want to run Schap's ROM for example or any other I choose
Sorry i got no idea im afraid....But i thought thats the way it works.....Use a rom dumper which will dump the rom to a memory card and then build a installable ROM from the dump of the generic handset.
Might be wrong though.
I don't think the i780 is full of bugs, more a couple of glitches which aren't too annoying.
There is no vital bug and there is nothing which can't be fixed with the next OS update.
The most annoying thing was actually that the i780 didn't come with any navigation/GPS software and apparently only Google Maps and Garmin XT mobile seem to work fine, the others(like Tom Tom 6 for example) require the tool GpsGate to work with the i780.
The i780 is VERY fast, not only the CPU but also the GPU. I actually started to love this little thing, it really is a stylish and pretty light powerhouse.
Right now, I think the i780 is the most powerful Windows Mobile 6 Professional smartphone on the market(considering CPU & GPU performance) and also the most underestimated device too. Battery life is decent too, build quality is impaccable. I just wish Samsung would have provided a 5MP camera and a quadband GSM/Triband UMTS functionality, especially since the new Marvell CPU seems to provide hardware support for both.
I have managed to get hold of an Italian version but need a UK ROM .... anyone managed to get hold of one?
Is there any other way to change the ROM to English?
Is this the one from ebay?
I should be getting mine in the next few days
Cant you like hard reset it same with HTC's and then select the language at the start?
Have you tried holding down 6 and the # key when you power the phone up..this should hard reset it....if its like other samsung win mobiles.
Yes from Ebay ... arrived next day .....
Have done a hard reset ... no joy.
Ahh thought so.....I was going to bid and then it ended.
Hmmm.....i would of thought all the roms are the same
Really lovely piece of kit though .... using it anyway .... crash course in Italian ! LOL
ha ha ha....
Theres gotta be a way to change the language ...hopefully someone will know.

Imate 9502: Dont Buy This Device. Till They Come Out With A Stable Rom

I have been wrestling with a 9502 for a 5 months now, and losing. There are many issues with the software that drive me nuts and which I'd love to fix:
1. The phone turns itself off from time to time. I know others have had this problem, but what is the fix?
2. The battery dies without warning, without beeping, after just a couple of days and little use. Naturally, I think it has turned itself off, but it's so flat that it won't turn on at all until at least a few minutes connected to the wall charger. How and where do I set battery status alarms?
3. Radio still loses signal and remains disconnected until device is 'woken up'.
4. Keyboard is still unresponsive, missing letters regularly making it almost unusable.
5. Graphics drivers would be appreciated.
6. Time in taskbar does not match system time.
Besides the very very bad customer support, they never ever answer you on any question neither by email or on the live support
everyone have to think twice before buying an expensive PPC from this company till they change thier policy and provide better support to thier products
now we are begging them daily on thier web site to provide a new release for the rom with fixed troubles with old one OR at least to provide the base rom to allow people to repair it AND ALWAYS NO ANSWER
WHAT CAN WE DO WITH THEM ????
Sounds to me more hardware issues than software. I have had the same device for four to five months and I have not had any of the issues you mentioned. And, I found the ROM very very stable.
I have owned more than 15 devices in the past 2 years, including the latest Samsung i900 Omnia, HTC TyTN II, Dopod 838pro, Dopod m700, O2 Graphite ... etc. so I have fair comparisons.

15 devices? wow. that made me feel good to read this that im not alone, although I have only owned 5 devices in the last 12 months, so i feel like an amateur compared to you.... and NONE of them are really what I want, which is a device that is as responsive and easy to use as my treo 650 which 9after a hacked rom) was the best device in its day.
I find the ROM stable (in that it doesn't crash) but these are all very common issues with the handset, most of which you do have, you just probably have put down to no network coverage or user errors. I have owned many, many WM devices and aside from the Blue Angel, this is the least usable one so far.
Radio is unacceptable. Signal is weak, and there is a universal bug in the ROM where it won't search for signal until awoken so if you lose it, you're not connected all day. 50% of the time I am uncontactable because of the poor radio. This makes the device unusable. Wifi signal strength on full power is also lower than any HTC device on power saver mode. This could be down to the positioning of the antenna.
Keyboard is also a ROM bug. Everyone has it, but it's only noticable if you type at a reasonable speed.
Graphics drivers are terrible.
System time is a universal bug. I only notice because I have a large today time plugin that shows the correct time and it often differs. Bug isn't the end of the world, but sometimes messes up text message orders.
Turning off is a software issue. I know because I had the problem and I-Mate fixed it by updating the firmware. I think it depended on which version your 9502 was shipped with. Mine was an early one.
Battery sounds like a hardware issue. Have you been charging using a Motorola or Sat-Nav charger or something? I know these often destroy batteries.

Hi Mark,
As far as I know, all 9502 devices are released unlocked by i-mate. You see, the ROM you dowload from i-mate.com is not related to Telstra at all.
Well, I live in Brazil, and although I'm not quite sure where my 9502 came from, it is flashed with their ROM, and it works fine with my local carrier.
As always, I might be wrong, though...
Cheers!

9502 in aussie
i have downloaded the new rom, it has no telstra screen, works fine.you need to ceate account with imate, download rom for 9502, active sync with pc, run update, within 10 min up & running. as always backup info first.
Ohh excellent - i ran the update from the most recent rapidshare on this website.
Worked a treat - now accepts all sim cards. Would not show my Vodafone card before.
Any chance someone can upload the LATEST firmware on rapidshare ??
im not signing up to anything with imate - or registering my product. id prefer my help from forums.
You'll miss Secure i-Q !

If you decide not to sign up & register your device, you won't be able to use i-mate's Secure i-Q, a very useful feature, IMHO.
Through it you would be able to lock your device up, make it start a potent audible alarm, or even wipe all your PIM data off from it, either from your PC or any other internet enabled device, in case it is lost or stolen. I have already given it a try, and it works a treat.
It's your decision, though...
Cheers!
Carlos
