This is an old fashioned Problem with the PocketPC 2002 ROMs. There is an fix from Paragon Software. You can get it there for free....
OR it´s fixed in the WM2003 ROMs.
You can cook your own at http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/

Hang on though - you have rom 3.17 which should have that fix built in.
My guess is that your mobile numbers aren't stored in the mobile number field within Contacts. Cut and paste them over and all should be well.

You'll find the fix here:
http://www.yorch.net/apps.htm
Its called Paragon Software SMS Name Fix
Or download the file directly from here:
http://www.yorch.net/downloads/SMS fix.zip

Problem may be that mobile numbers in contacts have to start +44 (in the UK) and drop the leading zero.
May also need to load them into SIM using SIM manager (not sure on this point!).

SMS <To...> not including '+' before number

I've just upgraded my ROM and now when I send a new SMS message the number from my contacts isn't correctly formatted.
When I select the number it removes the preceeding '+' sign before each number. All my contacts have this number as I'm often abroad and saves re-typing each one.
Is this normal (ie is there a workaround), or is this an error (in which case, is there a fix!!!!??)??
O2 XDA on NL Telfort
Rom Version: 4.00.05 ENG
Rom Date: 06/05/03
Radio Version: 4.21.00
Protocol Version: 32S54
(I can simply re-enter the '+' symbol in the <To...> field each time I wish to send an SMS but this defeats the point!)
Thanks for any help!

Yeah, bloody nuisance this :evil: happens if you do "New" and then select a contact. I have found a work around though, works for me If you open contacts and right-click and select "Send SMS" from context menue, it inserts the complete number, including the + sign.
Hope it helps ...

As far as I know it’s a known bug. Hope it will be fixed. But the problem only exists if you send the SMS from Inbox. If you tap and hold a name from Contact list and select “Send SMS” the ‘+’ will be inserted.

MMS Composer working with German T-Mobile MDA1 (with PW2003)

I have upgraded my MDA1 from T-Mobile Germany with the actually
downloadable PW2003 Upgrade.
Unfortunately the MMS-Composer (Arcsoft) isn't integrated.
Who knows where to get it with all necessary components included
an has successfully installed yet.
My first test with a received version "MMS Composer v1.6.0.9" failed.
The installation went well, but the application doesn't start.
I get an error message like "some components or libraries missing"
thanks for any help.

Hi Biso007
I have read this topic carefully an this also th source, where I dowlnloaded the software. but
I didn't work. the programm does not start. there must be something missing (runtime library or so)
The only difference is that you have a german ROM ... mine is 4.01.00 ENG and this s/w works with no problems at all.
What do you mean by the s/w doesn't start ? ... err message ??
Also, can you see the plugin on Today screen ? ... make sure it's checked and do a soft reset.
I get an error-message by trying to launch the mms-composer
It shows am error-message, saying that there are some components or libraries missing an ist not possible to start the programm.
I can see the plugin in the start-screen.
I did also softresets, but no way.
I believe many applications use standard system DLLs which may have different names in each ROM ... unless you have deleted one of those DLLs by mistake, it seems the German ROM requires special version of the MMS composer.
If you really don't have much on your device and ready to the hassle of reinstalling everything, try a hard reset then install the MMS composer.
I had the same trouble, same error. I'm using Australian O2 XDA with a jsummer brewed ROM 4.00.11 (Non Tmobile) Radio 4.21
Is a 3 part install able version on the forum too. It runs but installs "connections". I wasn't able to set it up to send or recieve MMSes tho.
Yeah, it messed up all connections setting ... I had to do the setup from scratch ... you have to get your operators settings for both GPRS and MMS
I am also looking for a working tool, well at least i found a installable (not in rom) version of EzOS 2.5...
MfG, Michael
Finally I got the Arcsoft MMS-Composer working.
It was necessary to install also the camera dll, even if the qtek1010 doesn't have a camera.
(compare topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7466)
Sending MMS runs now very fine, but i still can't receive them.
does anyone know why?

Home-cooked 1.72.902 upgrade package (1.72.00/1.17.00) T-Mob

I just put together the following pieces
OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM 1.72.902
"CountryCode" = TMOBILE
All configured for T-Mobile NL
Plz. Post any comments
(Plz. note this thread replaces http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11781 )
8-11-2004 20:57 GMT: New version V2 uploaded.
I added a small archive containing the changed ExtROM files to solve the earlier reported errors (not updating ExtROM version and not making IIWPO un-installable).
Comment on IIWPO and making it un-installable: After having customized & installed IIWPO, you will have to do one of the following to make it un-installable if youre using the 1.72.902 ExtROM:
a. Another hard-reset
b. Running Version_172_902.cab from the ExtROM
NOTE: This thread is being replaced by
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am d/l'ing right now and will be installing shortly...
One request... You might want to include the cab for setting up IIWPO in case someone is installing it into the phone.
edsub Thanks.
Question tho. Can I use this for T-Mobile USA and does it fix the MMS problem ?
asking because the version says NL, isnt that the Netherlands country code ?
Thanks again
Well from first look everything seemed ok.
THese are a few of the things I have noticed since loading.
1. The ext rom version # doesn't show up in the info
2. If you use the IIWPO then it still shows in the remove list
3. The new apps from the 187 version will not install no matter what you do. (I have tried adding the ver # in the Reg, both 902, and 187 (not at same time)) Niether worked.
These are the few things that I have found since loading. If I find any more I will loet you know. Other than these I think you havea winner here!
I was wondering about the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 packages, and why you didn't include or update to them? Was there some incompatibality issue?
Thanks and great job!

Is SRS included?
SRS is not included due to the fact that I don't see any use for it personally. Since it is an ExtROM installer, you could add it yourself.
The NL is only there because some sdetting are more or less specific to the Netherlands. I had feedback on my earlier 1.72.901 package that it worked for other countries (incl USA) as well. Be prepared that the date format will be dutch by default (easy to change via settings though).
Also MMS is suposed to be working (but I have not tried it due to lack of interest in MMS)
The ExtRom# is not showing because some bug in the Version_172_902.cab. Working on that now.
IIWPO not showing in the remove programs list is a bit more difficult than it seems if you install for the first time. Normally you would boot up the device with new rom. IIWPO is NOT installed at this point. Once you have customised & installed IIWPO, you will have to do ANOTHER hard-reset (ie run the ExtRom contents again) to disable the uninstall. You could force this by hand first time to re-run Version_172_902.cab after installing the customised IIWPO. BUT as this cab is not OK, it wont work anyway. Working on that now.
I did not find the time to look into the new O2 apps. If someone finds a solutiuon here, I am more than happy to includew it in a new version.
For the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 the basic reason is lack of time. I dont know what 'extra' new there is on bluetooth in the O2 builds? OS Rom 1.72 allready has an updated BT stack that fixes most open issues. I have no experience (& interest) in MMS / streaming MMS . . .
I suppose the issue with TomTom locking up without GPS enabled is not solved with this rom ?
I know: wishful thinking..........
@Pleun: Nope. I WISH I would have solved that one!!! FYI: I tested he new TomTom GPS 3.07. It doesnt solve any locking issue and next to that makes my Headset react very slow. Also the 'Bluetooth GPS' option that is supposed to solve the locking has gone, at least with my installation. Not advisable. I reverted back to TomTom GPS 3.03.
@all: I solved the issue of not setting the Ext Rom version and making IIWPO non-uninstallable. New version V2 will be up in 10mins (incl. incremental fix for all that downloaded the version from yesterday).
New V2 is up now. See first post in thread.
Plz keep posting comments to make this upgade better

I feel like my MDA2 is a little bit slower to respond not sure why! I added PocketMVP, Belkin Bluetooth GPS, Resco Explorer 2003 V5.0 and .NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP2 for Pocket PC 2003.
I am having problem with Belkin BT GPS; I got it to bond, detect the COM port (COM5) and baud rate(4800) to use but my MDA2 hangs up and had to soft reset. Any idea why?
I will try to install one by one and see what's causing it and report here.
edsub thanx for me it works great its a great improvement!
machine seems faster and no more lock-ups.
Keep up the good work (ill be following you)
p.s only one thing my battery seems to give me no more than 4 hours of on-time
4 hours is very different from my (and others!) experience. The 1.72 rom should even improve battery life.
My battery lasts for about 1,5 days (not measured but recalled from my memory) with approx 1-1.5 hours on the phone and bluetooth permanently switched on . . .
were can I download this rom from?
from the first msg in this thread : RUU172902WWE_eDsuBsofT V2.exe
Hi me again, dont want to sound stupid but I've tried both Opera and Explorer and cannot find any executable file in the first post. Normally it appear in some sort of info box but none to be seen on this thread and the link to the previous one!?!?! Is this something to do with XP SP2?

You cannot download it as a guest! If you are a member of this forum you have to log-in before you can see the file you want to download. That's what I encountered before so just try logging in first.
Good luck!
THank you very much superperry. Should have registered before but was always too lazy.
I have put together rom upgrade 1.72.903
This thread can be closed. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652 for the new one
Edit: The new upgrade files are now available (see refered post)
An error need help please
I downloaded the files then followed the instruction below but now I get error
the flashing process
first the devicedata is obtained from the device, with HimaGetDeviceData.exe, this gets the operatorname, and language/country code from the extended rom, sector 2 of the BDK.
Then a tool 'HimaClearJumpCode' is executed, which erases the jump at the start of the kernel. causing the bootloader to start at next reboot.
the upgrade tool then connects to the bootloader of the xda, via serial over usb. ( port \\.\WCEUSBSH001 )
warning do not just run the 'HimaClearJumpCode' program, it will erase part of your OS rom, after which you will have to repair your device by running an entire upgrade again.

Dopod 838 Pro - Telstra

Need some advice folks. Currently on an assignment in Australia and have just upgraded my Cingular 8125 to a Dopod 838 Pro. I'm with Telstra. Problem is any time I reboot the phone, the Network Wizard executes and errors out. Fine. I manually load Network settings but then i find out a couple of hours later that my manual settings have just disappeared.
I've scoured this site and see that I can do a variety of things, including loading the latest JasJam ROM. Regardless, whats the issue and short of doing a ROM upgrade (did plenty on my 8125, so it doesnt frighten me) what can i do?
Please advise.

Theres a file on DopodAsia's wedsite for Tesltra users, it enables newer settings. You put it in your MyDocs folder on the Dopod, and basically boot up. It uses the file, updates Network Wizard and will work properly. Its due to Tesltra's codes changing and the launch of NextG.

You wont be able to get these files unless you have a dopod serial to register with. I would suggest maybe you flash the newest telstra rom instead of the 838

hmmm weird. try again with attachment for cab file for telstra.
installs other stuff so beware like a proxy changes ie default and wap. all can be undone but gives u ur settings.
just saw this...
after my last post maybe helps u
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284812
it is ur device and australia specific.
Thanks folks for so many rapid responses... I was able to get the Network Wizard "fix" from Dopod's Australian service center yesterday. Unfortunately, I purchased the phone from ebay and the previous owner had already registered the serial number, so it's not letting me re-register. I've called Dopod directly to proces my registration, but they've not called me back yet.
simon_darley: will that .cab file set all the required settings on WM6? (I am considering upgrading to WM6, and a Cab file with all the Telstra settings would be nice and easy)
Does it add any of the Telstra software?
telstra aust cabs
the previous cab was the old one from the original rom released when the phone was sold and was incomplete so far as mms and other settings.
attached here is the latest from a new imate rom compulsory for telstra users and in conjunction with telstra proposed phone/data upgrade of their system should work more effectively.
i also use the telstra recommended imate radio upgrade 1.38.30.1 i think it is.
all of which runs perfectly now on wm6 including the wm6 media streaming which imate wm5 requires pvplayer as ms didnt release media streaming until wmK.
so now it works perfectly with foxtel video streaming and in 2 wks should allow simultaneous voice data connectivity which the telstra hw upgrade shouldfix for us.
i also include the my place cab which allows foxtel and videos to stream without using the download mb limits. so if u access foxtel via my place over next g it doesnt count towards the mb usage.
i have all the cabs from the upgrade and post them here for what i used only but in reality u may only need 1 or 2. i have all but installed only 5.
the ext rom in full is on xda dev if u want to download. i dont really know wot the other 3 do so installed and didnt cause any harm.
hmmm something odd nxt post should contain attachments... lost wifi...! bak soon
hmmm truble upload from pda apologies... wifi ... trying again

Reaper OS v6.66 Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro ROM - TNZ

I thought if i built it, why not share it.
This is a fully working Windows Mobile 6.5 Rom for the HTC Titan / Mogul 6800 .
Youll probably need to update your SPL (unlock) with a bootloader like nueSPL v2.4 and most likely need to flash a newer radio i.e. 3.27+
The windows mobile build is 28232 (The Latest)
Carrier is only Telecom NZ however i may build other carriers at later stages.
(To get the camera to work, rename HTCCamera.exe to Camera.exe in \windows\ folder overwriting the orginal)

Hi, thanks a lot for this ROM.
I have a HTC Mogul Titan V6800
My company is Iusacell (in this moments is a problem it's bad, broad band is limited to 128Kb if you download o use 3Gb of data, etc)
I can´t activate the camera (copy HTCCamera is not functionality) when execute camera.exe then launch camera but black screen show me, then I need reset my HTC.
My txt msg is preserve after the reset.
Memory is good (with activesync 25.41MB, without 25.77MB), the IE is good , no problems at the moment with the memory (memory low, of course "at the moment" jejeje)
Active sync is launch automatic when I don't connect to my pc, it is not good because consume battery and memory
I can´t execute ##778# (qepst) to access to my configuration
No games
Is general stable, data and voice is ok
Attach some screen shots
see you
Txt msg issue
this is one of the best roms i've used but i'm still having txt msg issues. i've done a hard reset few times and it does not resolve it, everything else works fine...pls can you assist
This does work for verizon - install attached file.
By default, it is setup for Telecom NZ, but it you run the attached DCD Verizon carrier.cab file and reboot your phone, it will work for Verizon.
Bigger Dialer
Also, I found a large button dialer for WM6.5 Here it is:
In regards to faults
I've given up my binge on pocket pcs for a while... but here is to my knowledge of the faults that have been discussed.
*please note* i'm unsure about any of the txting issues as i didn't have mine connected to a network (though this rom was built with Telecom NZ Carrier, I never used it)
_______________________________________________________________________
To the person who upped the screenshots thanks!
In regards to the camera. To my memory, yes, i don't think you can just copy this file. I think i either just renamed it in \windows\ to camera.exe overwriting the original, or copied it out to my desktop, renamed it, then copied it back.
If all else fails use a program like 'Total Commander' to force overwrite it.
Once you do get HTCCamera.exe replacing the original camera.exe it will work.
""Active sync is launch automatic when I don't connect to my pc, it is not good because consume battery and memory""
This never happened for me...
""I can´t execute ##778# (qepst) to access to my configuration""
Sorry, i never tested the codes.
