Guest nytehawk2002 Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 I have had nothing but grief with the WM2003 rom.. Yet one of my friends swears by it and how "stable" it is. I think it's a problem with T-Mobile. He is on AT&T and doesn't have 1/2 of the issues I have during calls. I have problems with the other party not hearing me, the volume on the call just getting softer as the conversation goes on, other weird stuff. So I'm switching back to 2002. But I do have something interesting to report. It seems that for some unknown reason with this rom T-Mobile's port blocking on their data services gets avoided. I end up being able to use Agile Messenger w/ T-Mobile's service only on WM2003. If I try it under WM2002 it fails to connect. T-Mobile states it's because they only allow ports 80, 25,110. I'm just curious if anyone else is running this rom on T-Mobile USA and having any other issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danbear Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, however, I've had 03 on my phone for a few days now and I can not get my GPRS settings right, ATT wireless. I mean I found them, but can't figure out how to edit them. any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tehdarkstar Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 What extra software is there there that 2002 cannot use? there are not that many .net apps at the moment. Shame you had to support the old ebay scum seller to get 2003 :lol: First, I agree with you that it is a shame that I had to support the scum seller at eBay, but it was the only place to get the upgrade... I haven't purchased any .NET software for my smartphone and all the software I have purchased so far is also compatible with SP2002, but I had a few reasons to want to upgrade the phone: 1 - With WM2003 it runs faster, it identifies callers faster and it performs better overall. 2 - I'm a .NET developer and even if I have emulators provided by Microsoft for WM2003 and WM2003 SE, it is still not the same as being able to test your software in a real device connected to a real radio network. I can actually call web services from this device and it helps a lot while developing. 3 - I'm a update freak. I MUST have the most updated version of everything or I start scratching the walls, beating my head on the table and salivating on my computer.... I just can't work it out. :shock: :) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I agree with 2 and especially 3 :) As for Q1 that's debatable, I never noticed a great improvement. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danbear Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I agree. It was fun to have something new, but it doesn't seem any faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Noose Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 So I didn't exactly upgrade my machine to XP so that I could upgrade my phone's ROM to 2003 ... and I didn't want to upgrade to 2003 just so I could have the same OS on my phone as I have on my Axim ... but it all works so nicely togther. I haven't done the GPRS stack thing, but maybe I should. Bravo to @non for doing the work, and snooks to anyone who has been whining about deficiencies in an upgrade given out for free. Considering the fact that Microsoft gave the 2003 software out to the phone companies, I'm not losing any sleep over the intellectual property aspects either.

Guest otacon Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I have a question to ask. I bought an mpx200 preloaded with WM2003. When I go to band select, I only get 1800 and 1900. I read somewhere that WM2003 has two versions. One is tri-band and another is tri-band. My WM2003 build is as follows: MICROSOFT: 4.20.13349.0 MANUFACTURER: 3.70.23.0 Can someone please tell me whether this is the dual band build or the tri band build? Thanks in advance.

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 There is not a dual-band or tri-band version, the hacked 2003 is just that, a hacked 2003 and has nothing to do with being tri-band. If you have an AT&T phone it will be dual-band if you hve an Orange phone it will be tri-band. Just because it is or is not displayed does not affect the use of the 900band. The 2003 OS will not show the 900band, if you read back in this thread and many others it's one of the most asked questions. t's only the rip off scum that try and trick people into buying 2003 by claiming that the update will give you triband. It's a hardware configuration and no ammount of flashing will change this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danbear Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 can anyone tell me how to get the original OS back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 You will have to download the 2002 version. The only problem is that there is not a legal version of 2002 avalable for download either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
