Hi all, Thisisnt a response per sa, its just for ppl in the future who are lucky enoough to find this thread, google sure dosnt find it, but here are some keywords I tried when having this exact same problem, read on for the fix!!

Windows mobile smartphone hardware install problem The name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name hardware network problem - stupid windows xp sp2 broke my ruddy phone and now I'm wasting hours trying to fix the blasted thing



OK, go here and read this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823771/en-us

no, its not nice, but it only take about 30 mins in all, and it will work, so what can i say, BUT

There are TWO 'folders' of registry keys to delete, I'm really sorry, but I cant remember the exact names, but this should help.


Folder one-.

Begins with an R or a U
something like Rndis, or USBRndis
if you look at the keys and values (items on the right hand side of regedit) you will see are reference to a file called usb8023Y.sys (that is exact, you could serach for it if you like). (If you were to have looked at the DRIVERs folder that comes with Activsync 4.1, that is one of the files, so I deleted that whol folder of values)

Folder two, (was below folder one when sorted by name!!)

Cant remember much about this, but in the little 'description' value you seem to get for each of the services, it said something like Win CE 5 link up and make the world right, well no it didnt, but it sure did say WinCE or Win CE (with a space), so delete that too.



Well I hope that helps sobody, its jsut taken me 2 hours to sort this mess out.

What a fantastic and concise reply, Thankyou very much... not a free beer, but some gratitude going your way! Thanks for that

Ok guys, I', feeling realy p*ssed at all this, as I bought an MDA vario around xmass time... so, what are my options here? I'm i stuck with my 40MB limit??

noooooooooooooo

and now I feel if I'm not, I need to upgrade to 3g already!!!!

just register to vote and that will fix credit ratings

I've got a tmobile vario, a friend has the 02 mini s.... and yes, im glad i got the vario! 02 seem to load all sorts of crap on it. after a hard reset, the 02 phone is STILL slower than my vario, after running for days with a 1GB sd - neither of us have changed our extended roms etc.

so, from what i've ready, 02 piles crap on, tmobile dont.... get a tmobile one or go rom editing.... or, this is cool

get the tmobile rom on your 02 phone!

download the software, called lokiewiz or from ebay look for 'best unlock mda vario'

then install whatever rom you like...

be warned though, i installed club imates rom, its pants compared to tmobile, it needed soft reseting each day... not something im used to with tmobile, so back i went to trusty tmobile rom

yes you MUST keep us updated on that one, that sounds amazing

And the chances of staying on the same contract with the same company??? next to nill for me, after switching from orange, I started to wonder why i didnt switch sooner... so I'll be looking around after my 18 months anyway!

well after lots of messing about. denials and emails. it would seem that tmobiles rom udate site is back at full strength here

http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/

so off we all pop.

I don't think we will c our march update though. since at the tim of looking. the mda pro was expecting an update in january. yet the only available rom is dated september 05.



I made this a new thread coz the old one is now very confusing and long.. six pages to try and find one working link!




(typed on my vario. in ikea. warrington)

I got this email from tmobiel support:

Thanks for your email about downloading ROM updates for your MDA Vario.

I've looked into this for you and I'm pleased to say you can download ROM updates from http://www.t-mobile.de/blackberry_solution/support/english. Please choose the UK and enter tmobileuk as your username and tmukbbcorp as your password.



not that I could find updates for the VARIO, but hey , keep an eye out

I bought a 1GB mobymemory miniSD back when mobimemory were the ONLY uk ppl selling them, it was over £100. Its been going for over a year now, and its fantastic, NEVER had a problem.

They have a 5 year warrnty on their own stuff, you cant complain about that.

I will buy a mobymemory card again, even if its an extra £10, I like life to be as trouble free as possible!

Your right, I got the webnwalk 200 (18month) for a hundred poound cheaper than what they are doing now. look

Current deal, 25% off for life: 28.5*18=£513
Old Deal, 12Months at %50, 6 at 100%, then %50 for life: 16.50*12+35*6=£408

I just done the 18months, coz the way HTC are brining out new phones, I'm gonna want one!!

ahh, well I updated my rom a couple of days after I got the phone. current info is:
(start, settings, system - Device Information)
ROM: 1.6.2.4
ROM Date: 11/15/05

ext rom (whatever that is): 1.6.2.105

Still, the page where I got this update from is nolonger avaiable :cry:
im on tmobile

I am miles behind this, where can you download new Tmobile (UK) roms from? am I being thick or what, tmobiles website is fab, but then there is just no support for smartphones, especially no games.

but where are the roms?

Oh, and the link at the top of this thread, thats where I got my first update from months ago, and a new one was then, due out in march, but now the link dosnt work :cry:

well i just use the audio out on the vario.

then using MS voice command seemes to work fine too

its nice just to be able to say PLAY

and calls are picked up on my bluetooth headset fine too:)

for those interested, with the following links to my phone, this happens


Phone-->Headphone socket-->car stereo
Phone<-->bluetooth<-->blueteck G2n bluetooth version 1.1

with ms voice command enabled on the click of the button (which only works the very very first time after a soft reset at the mo) using the following software thingy: http://www.burling.co.nz/Default.aspx?tabid=150

Calls work fine on the BT, and the sound comes out of the car stero, almost perfect, just need to get it working every time.. a hard reset me thinks.

will let you know, surely I'm not the only one who uses my Wizard as an mp3 player?

as an aside, anybody know how long I've gotta wait for 4gb miniSDs?

now thats an idea, i mean, its not like you slid the keyb out to not use the phone hey, im gonna go looking, that would be fab, turns on when you slid it out, what an idea, so simple

well i like the way it renders screens (on my wizard)

BUT, the keyboard is its own, so its not listening to my options, i.e. GO AWAY keyboard.

also, my ebay dosnt work, even though I've enabled all the cookies options, so im not using it for that alone.

shame though,, there is a free trial, but how long does that last hey?

wait, just wai, I've got a vario, but i know what you mean, not exactly the right image when ur on the pull, so the ideal solution would be another smartphone, coz since activesynce 4.1, it can handle multiple devices, so take a look at the FLIP smartphone here

why do you think when you are looking for something, its always in the last place you look?

go on, have a think





coz you stop looking when you have found it!

no alarms? what do u mean? my alarms work fine when its in standby (u know, screen off completely after like 5 mins)

The camera is pants, a cheap samasung e330 is better, HTC are bringing out a phone with a 'strobing flash' soon, so from then on, maybe that will be the end of our lighting woes.

(hmm, Im on an 18month contract, was that such a good idea?)

just for your infomation, about usage, my vario says its downloading aroung 500k for just the My Ebay page, thats half a MB.

Also, I'm on the self service, then just call the INTERNATIONAL number from your phone, bypases the extra cost perfect, I've called a couple of times, just to chnage my number and add a bundle (the website was down)

but after that, u dont need to call them, how good is tmobile's website compared to orange hey? its amazing, you can see your recent calls and everything, its gr8

up there a guy linked to http://zendrui.free.fr I saw the demo and its there, so I've ordered it thru paypal and just waiting... no more missing calls just because I forgot to turn the volume back up!! huray

I use it (MSVC) mainly to play music, while it just sits under my car stero, about 20inches away, it picks up about 80% of my commands when doing 70mpg down the motorway, so it must be your headset.

leave yourself a voice message or something to see what the device is actually hearing from you, test the quality out.
