Subject: Backlight
From: J L Jones
Date: 18 Jan, 2003 13:46:12
The Toshiba Pocket PC and probably others have three brightness
levels plus off. The XDA I bought a week ago, only allows on
and off.
I don't seem to have the latest ROM version though, so I'm
looking at upgrading it. Are later versions the same? If so,
are there any programs that allow more control of the
backlight?

I am having the same problem. I own a t-mobile XDA (MDA?). Although registry settings seem to solve the problems, my hardware doesn't accept brightness or contrast settings
XDA: PW10B1
Rom version: 3.14
You can change brightness in more steps than on/off by manipulating the registry? I tried it and has no effect on mine It's stil 0 for off and 1+ for on...
T-Mobile MDA
PW10B1, not PW10A1 with Dutch 3.15.15

Subject: AtDbg stuff
From: [email protected]
Date: 03 Jan, 2003 05:56:18
I've started AtDbg (from \Windows directory) - and I've noticed
some interresting stuff...
there is a message being received every few seconds or even more
frequent - it's saying
<Rx:4D8280025CAD> or something like this - does anyone knows
what's that about?
I'm now posting this from work, but when I post from home (half
mile from here) it's actually 0024 instead of 0025 - have to
test it with other areas though...
Is there anyway to use GSM as low-resolution "GPS"? just by
detecting in which cell you are.

it seems something about the battery/power status...
Subject: I don't think it's the battery
From: [email protected]
Date: 03 Jan, 2003 19:47:26
the AtDbg shows the log from the communication between GSM (the
radio) and some of the near cell-towers (excuse my noobie
terminology )
here is last things I'm getting
<Rx:4D0180025626> or let's put it this way
<Rx:4D018002 56 26>, also I'm getting
<Rx:4D018002 57 27>
<Rx:4D018002 63 33>
those seems like coordinates, and I was moving from EAST <->
WEST - I've tried it only along half mile. (I live in Santa
Monica, CA - and I was testing this trhough Ocean Park Blvd.)
Can someone else post his numbers, the easiest way to get only
numbers except anything else - is to start AtDbg, wait a little
till the log fills, and then turn off the phone - It'll be
getting only those <Rx:xxxxxxxxxxxxx> stuff..
Still, I may be wrong - it can be the battery only
Subject: what I found...
From: guest
Date: 04 Jan, 2003 11:04:39
without power connect : <RX:4D01......>
under charging : <RX:4D02......> or <RX:4D04......>
charging full : <RX:4D08......>
:wink:
Subject: I guess you are right
From: [email protected]
Date: 05 Jan, 2003 22:12:51
yep - it's something with the battery! not coordinates or
something like this...
Subject: This logs the AT commands sent
From: FintonK
Date: 06 Jan, 2003 10:53:56
This utility as far as i am aware logs the various AT commands
and signal strength between the local cell and the XDA. For
example, check the logs after attempting a GPRS connection - it
will list the standard at+cgdcont=1,"IP", "APN" command to the
network as part of the communication to establish the GPRS
connection.

havent got a clue what it does.......
Can anybody tell where you can get this program from ?
Thanks
same
check your windows directory
gps
get your xda to show you the releative strenght of 3 cells and you have gps
Sorry but in my installation there is not program under windows
atdbg gone
I think it was only present in the earlier releases.
I believe you could copy it out of an early ROM onto a newer one.
atdbg == rilcomtemp.exe
Hi,
In my 3.15.15 I found that the atdbg program was changed to rilcomtemp.exe in the windows directory. You have to tell explorer to show all files to see it.

Subject: After flash,where did COM1 go?
From: reswobslc
Date: 29 Dec, 2002 03:04:06
Hello,
I have a weird issue that came up on my T-Mobile PPCPE after I
flashed from 3.02 to 3.14. I can no longer open COM1, in
anything!
I can't open COM1 in Pocket Streets (it doesn't even show up in
the COM port list).
If I load a terminal emulation program, it sees COM1, but when
trying to open the port, it fails.
There is no equivalent replacement port for it. Other COM ports
are COM2, COM3, COM8, COM9, but all of these have different
documented purposes and aren't my GPS com port.
Anyone have any ideas?
Mike
Subject: I was able to answer my own
From: reswobslc
Date: 29 Dec, 2002 03:53:55
Just to make sure my own software didn't cause problems, I
backed up my RAM to SD and hard-reset my phone. COM1 still
didn't come back... however...
I was able to answer my own question by finding the following
answer in a newsgroup:
------------
You have to change a registry value:
HKLM\Comm\Irsir1\Parms
change the value "Port" from 1 to 9 and then reset your device.
Now you can use your GPS on com1 without compromising others
phone functions.
-------------
After having done this, COM1 is back, now COM9 is gone. I will
say this solved my problem, though if anyone tries this and
finds unexpected problems resulting from COM9 being gone (and
comes up with a better idea of which number instead of 9 would
be more appropriate), definitely say something!
ADMIN please post this fix somewhere as surely others will have
the same issue!

Subject: Same problem
From: Jeffrey
Date: 06 Jan, 2003 21:52:51
I have (almost) the same problem. When I start TomTom Navigator
I get the fault: Cannot open COM1: Port does not exist. When I
alter the value from 1 to 9 all goes well with TTN. However I
then will be not able to make a GPRS connection (when the value
is 1 then I can).
Please help.
TIA,

Subject: Com1 unusable
From: Alan T
Date: 07 Jan, 2003 00:09:31
I had exactly the same problem with TomTom routeplanner but if
you turn off the Infra Red Receiving option under
Start/settings/connections/beam I think you will find that com1
then becomes available. I also turned of the 'Enable
synchronisation when cradled using:' in the Active Sync options
as I had a feeling that the XDA detected the seial connection
and was trying to sync. with my GPS. I alson found that if you
disconnect the cable when navigating that it locks the XDA up
which then has to be reset.
Subject: Yes, it works
From: Jeffrey
Date: 07 Jan, 2003 07:37:47
Thanks for your answer, works also fine with me.
yep
had the same problem cannot open com1: on my xda and my xda ii tom tom 2
turned the default receive all beans to OFF and it found my rikaline 6010 gps on com1 right away.
it had me foxed for ages, thanks for the help peeps!!!
How can I change the registery as described here?
Thanks for helping

Thanks,
Sorry for being so fool but, I instaled the regedit but can not find it in the XDA. How do I operate the program?

something like that using a filemanager like explore or

Hi
Would anyone know if there is a Nokia type of engineering
software which could be installed onto the XDA.
The Nokia software displays LAC CIDs time slots, power level
etc.
Thanks

Date: 15 Jan, 2003 10:52:53
Finding any and all network parameters in the RAM of the phone
is most definitely on the XDA-developers roadmap. Forget the
Nokia monitor mode. We'd like to go even further, and turn this
platform into a versatile client-side GSM protocol analyser.
Stay tuned. (But don't hold your breath...)

Subject: alarms on xda
From: jackowacko
Date: 09 Jan, 2003 00:37:24
when in standby mode the alarms dont work (the alarm doesnt wake
up the xda) they r only active when the pda is on - does anybody
else have the same prob or know a fix..because its peeeing me
off.
thanks :x
Subject: alarms on xda
From: ansaar
Date: 16 Jan, 2003 20:41:23
Ive heard on some other reviews also that the alarms do not WAKE
the xda from standby mode. However, this must have been a
previous ROM. I bought the xda in dec 2000 on UK o2, rom version
3.12.07 ENG. For sure the alarm switches on when xda is in
standby, wakes me up every morning.
Subject: Not sure
From: MADmanFREE
Date: 16 Jan, 2003 21:32:49
I don't use the alarm myself..
The remeinder thing works though. Switches itslelf on fine and
makes some noise. Although it depends what the main volume is
set at....
Subject: Master volume
From: XDA developers
Date: 16 Jan, 2003 23:02:20
Whoever thought this 'master volume' thing would work in a phone
environment needs to be fired. If you turn the speech volume
down on the phone you suddenly don't hear the phone ringing
outside anymore.
Duh, Duh, Triple Duh!
alarm fix
I have tryed Ptalarm and superalert they have managed to fix the alarm it now wakes up the xda. I got them from a geezer called :lol: grabit.
Hopefully the o2 uk update will have this fixed that is if they read these and other posts :idea:
Once again xda developers thanks for this site and I suggest when people find fixes they post them here give everybody alse a helping hand.
ta ra then!

Will there in the future an sd card with bluethooth????? with a
possibility to connect to a bluethooth carkit??
Max
Bluetooth on an SD card comes only as an SD-io card, and those are not supported by the XDA. So for sophisticated connectivity to anything fancy CF-cards/microdrives, WaveLAN, bluetooth, etc., we're all sort of stuck right now.
Life is like that sometimes.
