I unlocked mine last night and had the same problem, although the re-enter timer was only 30secs not 960.
I hadn't touched anything, just pressed the power button to turn it on! :?
But if you leave it, then after 30 secs, (or 960 on yours) you can re-enter the code no probs.

ordered mine monday too, still haven't had my phonecall :cry:

Haven't got a clue why it would be saying you haven't got persmissions to install it, I copied it to my SPV yesterday and ran the cab's it installed like any other app, with 1.3.5.6 UK Rom :?: :?

there is a version for smartphone, its on the Mitac cd.
Search for Mitac Java there is a link in one of the threads follow it and download a file called Mitac.zip inside that there are some cab's Metal Strike are called game.cab and game2.cab

Ahhh right I get ya, its listed as PAYG but because you don't actually buy credit, they just take money by direct debit its considered contract :?

Just notice this in the Info4U section of the site though:

Pay As You Go

All Pay As You Go mobile phones shown on this website are subject to connection to the relevant network within 10 days of purchase. Should your pay as you go mobile phone not be registered with the network within 10 days, the sum of £60.00 (Sixty Pound) will be charged to your credit/debit card to cover our loss of commission and claw back form networks

So MAKE SURE you register the phone, don't just chuck the SIM away

Right ladies and gentlemen, your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get this little (well quite large) puppy network unlocked preferably using the USB cable that comes with it.
Then we can go round being proud that we got a 3G Videophone, which is network unlocked with no contract, all for £9.99!!
Now that WOULD be something :shock:

there you go I edited it for you

Just ordered mine using the link posted by Mono (found by Brody) on page 1
Now to wait and see if it ever turns up.... :!:

Right I have downloaded a zip file with 3 bootloaders in it, one is 0.93 (BOOT-093.whx) I presume thats a winhex file?
What do I have to do with this to get it onto my phone so I can load it and install the UK rom if things go wrong?
I have tried using USBTerm but it says "Cannot open terminal handle!"

Please help I really wanna try out this update.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of putting the new Qtek update on my SPV but can't do a full backup as I only have an 8mb card, if it was to go tits up would Orange be able to tell what firmware I was trying to install, then they might refuse to sort it with one of their backup things ?!?

:oops:
First time i have actually noticed that profile
I just tried it by setting and appoinment to start in 5 minutes, mark me as being busy, and then after 5 minute finish the appointment.
Set the profile to automatic and phone myself from a landline, it rang, waited for the appointment to start, phoned myself again, it rang...., rebooted the phone, appointment was still in progress phoned myself again, it rang....
So it didn't appear to work :evil:
It would be nice to have the program anyway, because then you could have it change to multiple profiles depending on what your preference is, instead of just "meeting" (oh, and I checked the ring was turned off in the meeting profile :wink: ) also you wouldn't need to clutter up the appointments screen with stuff to change the profile then

Would it be possible to create a program that automatically selects a certain profile based on the current time, and the day of the week ?
I would image it would be possible to access the time/date lookup functions the same way as the appoinment sheduler/calender does.
This would be an absolute godsend of a program, because you could set it up to select a silent/discreet profile between 9-5:30 Mon-Fri (eg. when your @ work) then at other times have it set to Normal of whatever is normally used.
I always forget to silence my phone before I get to work and its a pain when you get a bollocking for having your phone on...
Unfourtunatly I have only BASIC VB experience so if someone want's to have a go it would be much appreciated

-=Edit=- Also if someone knows a list of the API functions that can be used on the smartphone I would appreciate a link, then I can have a go at doing something myself

Download and install SmartExplorer from Monolithix.org then you can browse to the file you want to send, and beam it across!

I would LOVE to see something like that, like with my old Samsung T100 just before I got rid of it to get my SPV there was a surge of customised ROM's adding neat little features and altered menus.
C'mon people!

Right cheers for that, last question I PROMISE
When you say do a full backup, that is backing up all folders on the smartphone, the rom, and the boot loader yeh ?
So if I copy all folders from the smartphone to my PC (because not enough space on SD) then backup my bootloader to SD, and finally download the UK Update, then I would effectivley have everything for a full backup correct ?
Ps, I think my bootloader is 0.98 how can I get 0.93 ?

Cheers for the help :wink:

Cheers for clearing up the T9 stuff, I must have skimped over that bit of the post :oops:
So, if we took the dll for english T9 from the phone with for example the Orange UK update, then dumped it on the phone after the upgrade it should work ?!?
Or is it one of those files that is re-written everytime the phone is turned on ??

Is there anyway of doin a FULL backup with only an 8mb card ? as I can't afford to get a bigger one until I start my new job next week... and I was reading somewhere earlier that a full backup is approx 61mb!!!! and that you could only backup the IPSM folder with an 8mb card?

This update sounds nice, i'm gonna go for it once the backup situation is confirmed.

-=Edit=-
I have just been doing a bit more reading and it seems that people are only downgrading the bootloader so that they can SimUnlock, I don't need to do this as apparently the QTek firmware is SimUnlocked by default.. So can I get away without backing that up and the 1.3.5.6 rom, and just backing up my IPSM so I have my settings saved, then if anything goes wrong I can download the UK 1.3.5.6 update from the web and install that??
Would it load with whatever bootloader is installed with the QTek update ?
Sorry about all the questions, I just wanna make sure

Cheers 8)

Whats the deal with english t9 "not strictly working" then ?
I can't decide whether to install this or not.
Is there any way of backing up all of the current stuff on the phone so I can go back to that if it doesn't work properly?

Right this ROM sounds pretty cool, at the moment I have an SPV with UK update 1.3.5.6 and my boot loader is canary 0.98 i think.
Will this QTEK rom work ok?
How do I backup my current rom, bootloader etc.. so if it goes wrong I can go back to the UK one?

If someone can answers these Q's I'm gonna give it a try, I'm sick of waiting for the next UK update now! :evil:

Cheers 8)

Cheers guys 8)

Argh godammit!
Well if anyone wants to send the files needed to swift_gti@msn.com I won't say a word! :wink:

Cheers

This may just be me be dumb, but from what I can understand this is a java rumtime program from a Mitac that we can install on our SPV's to run java applets, correct ?
Where can I find the mitac files needed, I have look and search the site and can't find anything :cry:

Cheers 8)

BE CAREFULL!!

I done a hard reset earlier on, because my phone is going in for repair so I thought I'd clear everything off for them, anyway: When you add contacts into the phone book they are saved to the phone not the sim, which i didn't realise hence now I have to re-enter all my contacts again.
This time I'm entering them through SIM Manager so they are saved to the sim not the phone.

mine drops out of calls even when its showing good reception. Done it 3 times the other day, ironic thing was, I was on the phone to Orange tech support at the time

i thought that was just the norm for an spv... the power button on mine needs to be pressed at just the right and to get it to turn on, it's been like that from day 1
