I started using XDA IIs since Nov 04. Still like it a lot.

However, don't think the device is built to last for more than 2 years (just my opinion).

Might have to buy or upgrade to another device this year.

dunno.. after spending RM3.5K on it last May... I really hope it would last me 3 years at least. Not sure if I can live without that keyboard...

So far i faced these few problems:

- The incomming calls (the caller's voice) cant listen. But the caller could listen my voice. This is weird.
- The QWERTY keyboard starting to lose (the slider).
- The clock showing the wrong time (after hard reset).

i've been using it almost 1 year, so far so good.
its basically my workhorse for my daily work and calls.
It has everything i could ask for.......... except for the stoopid 0.3M camera.

Then of course is the size.........

I will still hang on to it for another year or so.
the new O2 mini seems like a good upgrade path.

hmm.. I used to have a IIs, but sold it off.. now using O2 Mini..

- You can't hear the caller's voice -
Sent it back to O2 SC. Probably it need to get the speaker/earpiece change. Try connecting to a BT handsfree.. If you can hear the caller, then the earpiece need to be change.. I had mine change b4 selling it off..

QWERTY keyboard lose.. Probably the mechanism is loose.. you can have it fixed at the O2 SC..

Try setting the clock back and do a soft reset.. If it still shows the wrong time, probably it is time to visit the O2 SC.. Do some minor service, they'll upgrade the ROM and stuff for free if warranty still there..

Been using the IIs since November also. So far, one of the best handset I ever used, which replaced my previous workhorse N7650.

Keyboard loose seems to be a problem for quite a few people although I found my keyboard to be relatively tight even till today and I use it a lot with constant open/close. Perhaps putting it into a case like the Krussel case will help reduce the loose feeling..

I faced the problem of not being able to hear the B-party's voice too...most of the time..not a big issue, just a quick soft reset will solve it. I rarely face this problem coz I reset my device almost every night. My clock is still consistently accurate after each soft reset. Although I only performed a hard reset once, it should be normal for it to fall back to a default date. I do believe there should be an option to sync your PC time with the XDA.

I just found this site (thanx to benyeap, mypdacafe.com) that fix the sound problem. Here

everyone upgraded their firmware?

Saw that thread in MyPDACafe before.

I am not doing that, I just need to reset the phone. It is working then, of which I could hear the other parties.

The new upgrade that I am eyeing on the Dopod 900 replacement or upgrade, perhaps thinner version.

I really hope Motorola could come out with something like Raz but running on WM5.0.

All right, back to XDA IIs.

With it, think can go out of office and get thinsg done still.

Internet, can be done through GPRS or wifi.

Pretty good device, probably better than Blackberry.

any recomended software for the camera?
not too happy with the picture quality

Don't think there is way to upgrade it except through the ROM update.

i think there are camera softwares like handphones if not wrong...

I doubt there will be.

The camera is 0.3M pixel.

ahhh the XDA IIs' 0.3M pixel camera... I was conned. The fricking salesman told me it was 1.3M pixel.. if not I wouldn't have bought it. RM3K for a 0.3Mpixel is a con job...

For service (after warranty), other than Berjaya Times Square, where else?

Is there an authorized service centre in BTS?

I a bit blur on this matter cos I only know of the SIS SC in section 13, PJ.

Would servicing cost be cheaper in BTS? My warranty is ending soon and would have to worry abt it sooner or later.........

Hi Guys,

I just bought a 2nd hand XDA IIs, and still learning. Is it possible to install PocketPC 2002 softwares? it is installed with window CE 2003 2nd edition. I download some softwares from PDAGOLD but most of them can't be installed. Any tips sifu?

Thanks guys

Hi,
So far so good after i bought a xda 2s with latest rOM upgrade.the sound problem,just soft reset and it's ok.

Seldom use the KB as i prefer to use stylus pen for text input.

I'm using krussel case now but it block the few function keys.

Any silicon case for xda 2s?

Tks.

crap... my IIs hung yesterday, I removed the battery (lost my stylus) and it got hard reset...

Once battery removed, it will be reset.

No need to hard-reset. Unless the unit internal battery is kosong.

what is the battery capacity are you using in the XDA 2s?i saw battery with 2400mah capacity,good and last longer?

Tks.

can u guys set mp3 or wav file as ringtone?

Can.

Just click and hold on the MP3 or WAV or Windows Player, set as default ringtone.

Try and see.

Have not tried the 2400mah battery.

Based on the default (comes with the phone), could last for 3 days with normal usage of calls, wifi, bluetooth & pda function.
