Guest batute Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 Now I'm confused....sori po newbie. One question: If I upgrade my SPV which was unlocked before and now on bootloader 0.99 and SAP 1.3.7.8 will I still need my unlocking code after the upgrade? Because if I don't need it anymore, I can go ahead with the upgrade.
Guest spv_dman Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 @batute Just upgrade your SAP to qtek ROM, no need to run the unlock application. This is based on the experience of other users who have successfully upgraded their SAP to qtek ROM.
Guest batute Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 spv-dman Thanks for the info....I'll try this thingy this week end. Pero pag di ako nakatiis mamayang gabi!!
Guest mariolouis Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 mine is still unlocked after the upgrade.
Guest vijay555 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 PhoneBackup is nice, backs up to local storage, useful. However, orange roms have "action engine" backup software, that backs up thru gprs to orange servers, so whenever your phone hard resets (as it does from time to time), just log on and have all calendar and contacts back in a few seconds. I suppose if you keep phone backup on your sd, you can always keep a local backup handy. action engine can be scheduled for daily backups automaticaly tho, and is free, so you always have most recent backup available. I miss it, but phonebackup is very useful now.. And yeah, for me, qtek is lasting at least 1/3 longer then spv e100 1.5 UK V
Guest ejoya Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 imho imate update is better than the qtek update
Guest dinoalbert Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 hmmm... can you post then the url for the iMate softwares (if there is any) ? :)
Guest vijay555 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 imate is on the imate thread - http://www.x-share.com/users/vip4uae/upgradeb.zip I do like it, and they're pretty much the same as far as i'm concerned, i just like the qtek boot up screen more :) can't stand the ugly Imate logo that pops up when dialing, so DIY! Not that "Smartphone 2002" is much better, but nice colouring. Personally, not much in either, pretty much the same. BUT, no usable t9 in either rom, so u might want to wait for the new Orange 1.5. Apart from battery life + ialbum, not much difference functionally, IMHO. Comments? V
Guest dinoalbert Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 I mean the separate software bundles of iMate (not the ROM) like those of Mitac from http://cordo.free.fr/spf/Mitac/

Guest dinoalbert Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 oh... sorry about that.... thanks for the tip :)

V I'm a little lost here, what's PhoneBackup? Is it a separate application or bundled with one of the ROMS? :roll:
Guest spv_dman Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 imho imate update is better than the qtek update Can you give the advantages of imate ROM that made you say it's better than qtek?
Guest happiboy2002 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 hey guys! tried to upgrade my smartphone but there seems to a problem. it keeps posting a 101 error :cry:
Guest dinoalbert Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 turn your phone into the tri-color Canary mode first (turn it off, press and hold record button + press power button) before starting the upgrade.
Guest vijay555 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 PhoneBackup is in Mitac software bundle. allows backup of: 1.Contacts 2.Calendar 3.Tasks 4.Channels (Avantgo!) 5.Notes 6.Voice Notes to local storage. superbly useful, finally! Coupled with an ipsm backup, you'll never be lost. Imate ROM is lean, very little extra gubbins installed, but so little difference as far as i can see. I just prefer the colours of the QTEK bootscreen :wink: Functionally, -both miss t9 (english), -qtek SMS counter is supposed to be better (in that it recognises reply to sms and automatically counts - not sure if imate still requires you to type number into CC:) -i get great battery life with Qtek. can't remember if imate is the same, if you don't use t9 english, i'd recommend the upgrade. if you do use it, stick with what you've got, and just download the mitac software bundle from smartphone france. some useful stuff in there.

Guest dinoalbert Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 What about the option (right softkey) to choose Flash Rom instead of Storage Card....what does it mean? Will it save/backup my IPSM to Flash Rom???
Guest mortenharkett722 Posted August 14, 2003 Report Posted August 14, 2003 i just tried the i-mate update. It's nice but qtek's is better. Cooler bootup screen and has t9 htough weird. I-mate has none only arabic support.

Guest jabonga Posted August 14, 2003 Report Posted August 14, 2003 guys, mawawala ba ang warranty pagnag upgrade to qtek rom? thanks
Guest mortenharkett722 Posted August 14, 2003 Report Posted August 14, 2003 i think yes. pero pwede mo naman i downgrade yun or ibalik sa sap rom kung kinakailangan. :)
Guest dinoalbert Posted August 14, 2003 Report Posted August 14, 2003 I think hindi. My SAP is sim-locked before I upgraded to Qtek...after the upgrade, its still locked with Smart. So if I send it to Brightpoint, they will see that its sim-locked pa rin....the only difference they might notice is the blue Qtek start-up logo. But I can simply tell them that I just customized/changed the startup image, just like customizing my homescreen.... hindi naman nila siguro alam yun kung papaano. :wink: So pwede mong bolahin na hindi mo ginalaw ang rom :) unless alam nila or naiintindihan nila na ang starup logo is the result of a different rom upgrade
Guest mortenharkett722 Posted August 14, 2003 Report Posted August 14, 2003 i forgot to copy the gprs and mms setting. can anyone give the settings? stupid me. :oops:
Guest ejoya Posted August 14, 2003 Report Posted August 14, 2003 Can you give the advantages of imate ROM that made you say it's better than qtek? first... higher build yung sa imate.. a bit faster (para sakin) not sure about others.. hindi na siya sobrang lag kapag nagpapatugtog ako ng mo3 then nagtetxt ako... no hangs yet... battery life (same with qtek lang cguro).. check ko pa
