Hi all,
The SPV M1000 from Orange does not support line 2. I was going to buy one today, but when I spoke to Orange business customer services, she said she had just been on a course for the spv and said that it doesn't support picture messaging or line 2. I think this is a disgrace as line 2 is their baby and on Ornage's website it says it supports line 2 on the features. She said whe was going to get it removed from their site. Its price is £450, quite a bit dearer than the O2 XDA. Guess we will have t wait for ROM update from Orange for line 2 and picture messaging.
Oh well, think I will stick with my XDA and wait for the great developers on this site to sort it out for all of us.
Regards Dave
Not sure about the Line 2 issue but I do know that the M1000 does not come with an MMS client like the XDA II does.
I think that if it had the client there would be no problems with MMS.
I use the T-Mobile 1.60 NL ROM version and the Belgian Base network (former Orange).
This ROM version supports dual line, tested it tonight.

T-Mobile 1.60 NL is it in english? and could you give me a link to it

Dave,
Since the SPVM1000 is the same as the MDA II, it should support 2 lines (at least incoming calls).
You can get the T-Mobile ROM @ http://www.xda-developers.com/incoming/rom160wwe/

Sorry guys, OT I know
It's cleaned up, apps removed and siminlocked (thanks guys).
Now it's been sorted I want the looks spruced up a bit and would like to get hold of the default Orange .tsk if possible.
Could anyone who has it please email to cheekymonkey at neowin.net ?
Many thanks guys.
hi Jos
Can you tell me if the t mobile rom rings when you get an incoming call on line 2? I have got the original o2 ram for xda2, however when I get an incoming call on line 2 it doesn't ring or vibrate I just get caller id and the light flashes red, not much use unless you want to keep looking at your phone.
Thanks Dave

I've upgraded from a Nokia 6310i and iPaq 3870 connected by Bluetooth to an unlocked XDA using my orange SIM. With help from this site, particularly Dave4391, I've got GPRS working, but the next problem is that I've got Line 2 on my SIM for friends and family, but I can't find anyway of switching to it on the XDA. On my 6310i it is a long (about 5-7 seconds) press on the # key, which toggles between Line 1 and 2. Using SIM manager I can see both my numbers but I can't find a way of changing lines. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Hi,
not much help but I am looking for an answer to this problem too
Hope someone can do it
Thanks
Michael
You need a phone that has the orange logo "stamped" on it - they preload their software on to the phone... Theres going to be no way to do it, unless one of the lovely XDA developers can program their own software :?:
Hi John
Glad to hear those settings work for you I was just looking through the forum. I have upgraded my xda1 to a xda2 and had line 2 activated recently and I am having the same problems as you, if I discover anything I will drop you a line, lets hope one of the developers from this great forum will help us out and maybe write some software to solve this, I have quite a few beers to give away I don't know whether you know or not but orange are bringing out their own version of the xda,
check it out www.orange.co.uk/cgi-bin/business/phones.pl?context=corporate&phone=spvm1000.
Cheers Dave
Hi everyone,
Here is the email I have received from the O2 Pacific Asia in relation to the WM2003SE upgrade for XDA II:
Thank you for choosing O2!
With regards to your query below, O2 XDAII is using Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC, & the latest rom version available for upgrade is 1.60.00WWE. Currently, there is still no news the next coming upgrade.
*Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC is the Only licensed copy which O2 XDAII will have, O2 will not support Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition in XDAII.
The latest rom upgrade for O2 XDAII, you could login at www.myxda.com with your username & password & click on 'Get the latest software for your device.'
In any case where the XDAII was upgraded to other 'rom' versions. The warranty of the phone will be void.
All future release of new models of O2 phones' details will be made available for viewing on the main page of www.myxda.com , please kindly refer to it for future updates. Thank you.
Warmest Regards,
Willy Ho (Mr)

Even this would be what I excepted, I still feel a bit sad about what O2 decided to do. Hopefully they will change their mind later!
I think it's kinda template answer for anyone who asks for 2K3SE.
Let's wait and see i guess, Asia Pacific normally don't have more details then the one elsewhere.
I agree that this is just a "standard" answer from O2. However, it may be true as well. As I said, hopefully they will change their mind later. By the way, I spoke to imate customer service and they said that the WM2003 SE upgrade should be avaliable by the end of the year. Hopefully they will do it coz upgrading from XDA II to XDA IIi/s....to me it doesn't worth to do it.
Tekguru has alreday hinted strongly that WM2003SE will indeed be released for current owners. An updated ROM is also around the corner.
I wonder if anyone can help, or at least tell me if they have the same problem. My Tytn, which came with the original shipping ROM (1.18.255.3) has the issue with Vodafone voicemail etc of not giving any text message alerts, so I had to use the ringback service. So, I upgraded my vodafone account to the new Vodfone Mail (see www.vodafone.net), and all was solved- got the text messages, as well as the tape symbol.
However, I've now upgraded my ROM to the SA one (1.35.255.2), and all message alerts have now completely disappeared again. This is a bit of a disaster, but i really don't want to downgrade my ROM again if I can avoid it.
Anyone had the same problem in the UK? Any solutions? Pleeeaase??!
I'm having exactly the same problem as you. Before the upgrade, alerts via 242 worked perfectly. Now I get nothing. I've changed it back to 121 and still no alerts in any way shape or form.
Annoying, as this ROM upgrade was worth doing up until this.

I posted the upgrade from South Africa.
I am sure that the Service Provider plays a big role in the messaging displays. I am on the Vodacom network here which is 50% owned by Vodafone and this upgrade works perfectly here. I further believe that this upgrade was tweaked by HTC to match our requirements and solve the issues we had with the TyTN units on our local networks.
I do beleive that Vodacom is far bolder than Vodafone as I think we had HSDPA running here before the UK. The only problem here is the high costs of our mobile services. Vodacom in SA has about 20 million users.
I hope this give an insight on the problem as posted.
Good luck!
Thanks- helps us understand the thinking behind the new ROM upgrade. I only wish that HTC UK were not completely useless, then we migt have a localised ROM which works with Voda.
In the meantime, I've had to go back to "alert and deliver" which means the phone rings incessantly until you answer it to listen to messages. Otherwise the new ROM is great.
I even spoke to HTC UK to ask where to get the new ROM from. They said "our distributers", which is about as helpful as a chocolate fireguard as the only *big* seller of HTC branded products in the UK is expansys.... who told me to go to HTC. Oh the joys of using cutting-edge equipment!

Yes I must say we have a very on the ball distributor in Leaf Wireless. They have managed to fine tune the product to work correctly on our networks.
Good luck with Vodafone!
I had to do a full reset because of unstability, but when I fired up O2 Connect to get O2 Plus, it wasn't there! Does anybody have a copy, or can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Last time I set up the phone it was there without any hesitation. I'm dependant on that thing!

hmmm... I hear that MWG group is taking over O2 Asia and that all downloads and support has been moved to mwg website. This might explain it:
Code:
It has been announced on 1st of November 2007 with immediate effect, Mobile and Wireless Group (MWG) will be taking over O2 Asia's assets in an agreement between MWG and Telefónica O2.
MWG is a company established by the current management team of O2 Asia to take on O2's existing PDA/Smartphone business in Asia and to continue to serve this high-growth sector.
To be kept up to date on the latest software applications, ROM upgrades and user tips for your current O2 device, please click here to be a part of MWG Connect on or before 15 Jan 2008. This will also ensure you are the first to hear about MWG's products, services and special offers.
Profiles of customers who have yet to opt in to MWG Connect will continue to be stored in O2's databases and may be dealt with in accordance with O2's data policy.
MWG will be responsible for warranty and after-sales support for all O2 Xda devices in the region. For up to date information on our service, please check support page before visiting the service centers.
We thank you for your continued support.
Yours truly,
O2 Asia
Thanks, but I don't think so, I have been there. It doesn't mention O2 Plus at all, only the totally useless SMS Plus, Media Plus and a few other silly things. Also I tried to download with the O2 Connect, and it had all those other programs in there, but not the O2 plus. And I'm also missing O2 Menu, which I have also been using since I got the Atom Life. Fishy stuff...
nice title W..T...F LOL hehehe
What's even nicer is that I finally found it. It's hidden within O2 Themes in the auto installer! Silly place to put it, but at least I found it. So now I have the % battery strength on the Today screen, and I can close programs totally with the long tap.
O2 plus is unstable
I missed ik as much after re set whan i did not find on O2 connect. then MGM people sent to me and moment i install it works fine but once one sets the current date it hangs and has to be hard reset and the same spiral is repeated...i stii miss % battery and close program menu but have come to live without.
Does anyone know if they're going to release an official Vodafone ROM upgrade? I've contacted Vodafone and they sent me a text with a link for the orange ROM upgrade??? I was also told around mid-October that it would be released in a week??
are you sure they didnt send you to THIS page for all downloads, , , on which currently the top entry is the orange 3.14 rom? (and is also the page that any carrier 3.14 roms will appear)

Yes samsamuel, it was. I would have preferred it if they'd just said keep and eye on the hTc website, as that's what I've been doing for about 2 months anywez! Thanks for the reply m8. They sent me the following email:
Hello Paul,
Just to let you know that prior to releasing or approving any software update for our Vodafone customers who have bought a handset through Vodafone, we test it thoroughly to ensure it provides customers the best possible experience on our network.
Our testing process begins as soon as we receive the software, which often happens once the manufacturer has already released the open market version of the software.
During the review process, we report any issues with the software back to the manufacturer for them to address. Once the firmware is approved by Vodafone, we return it to the manufacturer and they will then distribute the software to customers through the appropriate channels.
We undertake this process with every device that we sell to customers, regardless of whether or not the handset contains Vodafone branded software.
If you have purchased the device from another company (Phones 4U, Carphone Warehouse etc) it is possible that the device may not be on the Vodafone version of software. In this case the manufacturer would be in control of releasing any future updates.
I trust the above information helps.
Kind regards,
Pravin Raut

Vodafone is so bloody annoying. I remeber it was released first on vodafone rather than orange, so how come orange got update before them. They had released ROM for HD mini, HD2 might be on the way....... no good vodafone !

I agree. I can't understand how orange got their update out before voda? Not only that, they then go and release a ROM upgrade for the hd mini? I just hope it comes out before year end?
