I'm guessing they dont have a system to block orders, because as they explained to me, people ordered that phone when it was out of stock through the site when it should have been removed in the first place.

I did not know that this K-Jam is a BEAUTY ! I've been reading some posts by Massuer about this . . . an did NOT care to bother at all I like the way the keypad is kept underneath when not in use . . . nice, nice !

@masseur - Bring us some kangaroos on your way back will ya !

Yes Canada & America has had EDGE for over a year now ... long before most brits thought it mattered at all. (Fees & fare rides from EDGE to 3G I'm sure are becoming tier'd in pricing).

@Reo, I've been looking stealthy at the Cingular 8125 for quite some time. The camera quality is nothing on par with the K750, although the DoPod black PPC with 2MP is very comperable. I really like the styling of the 8125 & its a plus for having WiFi but is it 802.11b or g? I've seem conflicting ads from Cingular themselves. Furthermore how is the built-in antenna on that for WiFi?!

I'm just hoping apps for the P990i becomes abundant real FAST.

Got my K-Jam on 30th March. Its certainly better (IMO) than the Atom I had used for a few days. WM2005 and the K-Jam are such great improvements over WM2003 and older devices like the Jam. Thoroughly enjoying my K-Jam.

@ac,

What improvements did you see if you dont mind?

Posted by ac
OS improvements...
1. Permanent storage (contents wont get erased if battery is empty)
2. One handed operation
3. A few tweaks to usability and UI

Hardware improvements...
1. EDGE
2. Slide out keyboard
3. Better camera (though this is not a deal breaker)
4. D-Pad design/usability on the newer devices seem to be better

@ ac,

Fair enough, i will have to look at these things, i had an i-mate jam ages ago and it always used to "jam" (crash) which i eventually got tired of so i got rids of it.

Posted by Lembo
I've got the o2 K-Jam (XDA mini S) which I had a lot of trouble with freezing, slowing down & the alarm not going off.

I over came these problems with installing a different WM5 another forum.

Cleared all the rubbish and fix the bugs.

yeah installing the Qtek rom sorted it for me.

Posted by REO
@Prom1

As I understand from other users in my area either 802.11b or g.

I use b. The reception is awesome and connection is great as well.

I love this device. I can say that my laptop stays on my desk at home, I no longer have the need to lug it around everywhere I go.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a recommended software to minimize apps? I've seen one, however would like a software that some here has actually used.

Another words you have debranded your k-jam?

Posted by Lembo
It's the way to go with branded K-Jams

Posted by amnesia
there isn't that much branding with the K-Jam in the first place. No network locks, no design locks, it basically just has a theme and a few strange processor restrictions and lack of updates.

Installing the Qtek rom makes the start up VEEEERY long, but put it this way "me.. the guy who's device used to freeze 3-4 times a day" doesn't restart at all anymore!

Posted by REO
I have not been able to download the SBP Pocket PC software after I uninstalled it.

Can I get the trial down load anywhere else?

Posted by amnesia
i just got mine from pocketgear

I wouldn't know why you can't download it again though.

Posted by REO
@Amnesia

I've reinstalled active synch more than 12 times. I get an error pop up box indicating to reconnect device. it synchs for 2 seconds and stops followed by the pop up box.

grrrrrrrrrrrr

Posted by below24
I finally have it!

Im impressed! just need to get rid of this t-mobile rubbish!

Posted by amnesia
@REO, have you installed Q-Tek firmware?
If not, I suggest doing that.

Posted by REO
@amnesia

I found the problem. I Inadvertantly deleted a file which works with Microsoft Synch. A hard reboot took care of all the original settings and files.

Qtek firmware...... Would it render my device useless if I am locked to Cingular? I've never done a firmware upgrade. I guess I've never thought I needed to. I want to do this. Where do I go?

Posted by amnesia
first of all I dont think Cingular give you anything except for pre-made settings (so you can do it yourself)

Using the unlocked you can unlock your device and CID code so you can install any rom AND any sim card on the phone.

The QTek rom is basically unbranded. It'll make the phone more stable and run faster, HOWEVER start up time will be longer (if you do a soft-reset alot)

Hope that helps.

Is anyone using a registry cleaner?

I have a program I deleted and registry will not go away.

I'll take a look in pocket gear, although I've not seen anything there yet.
Just want my device running at optimum.



Posted by amnesia
memMaid is nice.
It clears out files and fixes some faults, however I dont know if it'll fix the registry.


Posted by below24
Just watched one of my videos on my phone and its pretty good on full screen amazingly...

go to www.xda-developers.com

Posted by soulframe
Hi guys, I got my O2 XDA mini today and was wondering where and which rom to get so that I can have A2DP on my handset?

Posted by amnesia
you can also get that info from xda-developers. There should be a dedicated section which will give you all the info you need about unlocking the cid, unlocking the phone and flashing to the latest firmware.

Last december when I 1st got my xda mini I was complaining about my videos not beabling to play my videos properly and that the videos stuters and it loses sound. But anyways I recently orderd the flext 35 + web n walk on t-mobile with a k-jam pocket pc thinking that I will use only internet on it only. then I though i'll try the videos that I tried before on the xda mini and to my surprise it works perfectly with know lost of sound, now that I ask my self why didn't the xda mini play any videos? the only think that I can think of is that the xda mini was heavily branded by 02 which may have made the unit run very slow.

so anyone who is thinking of getting the k-jam on 02 think again.

Posted by amnesia
well I wouldnt go as far as saying think again. Because you could always just debrand it.

Posted by upper
yes I guess there is another way of going around it.


Posted by soulframe
Is there anyway to set an mp3 or wav or wma as a message tone?

Posted by upper
yes you can set a mp3 as message tone, but I'm not too sure about the wma but then again it is a windows device so you should be able to.

Posted by upper
at amnesia

lol hey man what's going on? your selling your little baby kjam already? got bored of it?

I agree.. I have tried iMate, O2 and Qtek ROMs.. so far this is the only ROM that feeps my Kjam from freezing.. since i have installed Qtek rom (for 3 months now) I have only encounter 2 or 3 hangs on my device

Posted by amnesia
@upper, need to start saving for the P990

I can't seem to do that. When i go to settings-sounds and notifications-notifications, then i click on event and select messaging: new text message i only have the option of about 18/19 pre set tones and i don't know what format they are in.

Posted by masseur
perhaps my replies in the following topic might help? works for me

Help: Text Message Alert On Windows Mobile

Posted by soulframe
Cool. Thanks Massuer. Now, one last thing, where can i get themes that work on the k-jam in both vertical and horizontal modes. The ones I have downloaded don't fit in horizontal mode.

Posted by masseur
thats a good question. I have found very few so far.

The site I have always used for themes is Pocket PC Themes but I don't recall seeing any there that also support landscape.

I use SPB Plus which supports extended themes but its not really something I have looked into but might be worth your time checking out

let me know if you find any good ones

Posted by soulframe
There are a few on there. Which should I get, VGA or QVGA?

Posted by masseur
QVGA for the KJAM

the JASJAR has a VGA screen

Posted by ericharlz
I have some QVGA pocket PC themes... just simple themes though... if you want you can download @ http://www.airfagev.com/themes.asp?res=QVGA&author=EriCharlz

other authors http://www.airfagev.com/themes.asp?res=QVGA
enjoy

Posted by amnesia
thank you for that

Posted by upper
I remember when Bill Gates announded Win 2005 they said that it can support annimated themes, any such thing?
