To all you WM2003 Users out there

Hi,

Can anyone using WM2003 check to see if they have a "MORE" tab under Phone>Tools>Options and let me know the version.

The 4.00.11 version of WM2003 I got from Jeff's Kitchen does not have the "MORE" tab dispite the Microsoft Mobile site saying it should have!!! :?

[lgingell]

Mine does. Its a USA 900/1900 T-Mobile device with 4.0.16 OS, 6.24 radio.

BTW: The radio version alters whats in Tools-options. e.g. the USA devices have a 'band' tab.

cheers,

Mine does not. T-Mobile device, 4.00.16, radio 6.24.00. Another device here with the same versions also does not.

Maybe this is related to a SIM feature?

[siliconaddict]

Mine does not. PPC 2002 on my XDA had it.

[Aurora13]

I've got an O2 XDA with 4.00.16 and Radio 4.21

I have got both the More and the Band tab.

Dear,
If all ROMs of yours are from Jeff's Kitchen, I think the presence of "More" option is optional when you cook your own ROM.

[angusmcintyre]

Thanks for the info guys,

I think it's a "feature" of 4.00.11, but I will check on Jeff's Kitchen for Ken_xda's suggestion when it comes back online. As Aurora13 has the same Radio as me but a different ROM, I will try an upgrade although I would rather have a UK ROM than a US one.

Mine does and I'm running a T-Mobile device, ROM 4.00.16 and AT&T radio stack A.20.10.

BTW my ROM came from a bin file install that I downloaded
from Aurora13's FTP site when it was active.

I too have just upgraded to ROM 4.00.16 and radio v6.24 (thanks Qman)...I do not have the "More" and "Band" options either - I remember having them under 2k2. Are these features important enough to request Aurora13 to repost the bin file? Should I revert to 2k2?

[Qman]

Good question!
As far as the "Band" option goings I'm sure you're safe if you plan only to use the phone in the Country/Region that your SIM card is set to. If not you
can always change if from the bootloader.

Now as for the "More" option goes it has the following Options:
Automatic pickup
Answer incoming calls without pressing Talk after xxx rings

Hardware button lock
Lock all buttons except Power button
Do not lock buttons

Broadcast Channels
Enable

Can this More" option" be retrieve any way on WM2003 4.00.11 i.e setting :idea: :?:

Hi All,

I've done a bit of fiddling. I downloaded ROMs for 3.17.00, 4.00.05, 4.00.11 and 4.00.16 from Jeff's Kitchen and tried all of them with Radio 4.21 from UK O2. The only one that gave me the MORE tab was 3.17.00. none of the 4.00.xx versions did.

I would like to try with a different Radio ROM but I don't have the previous version prior to te upgrade to 4.21. Can anyone tell me where to get an earlier version.

[Aurora13]

Hmmz strange I have the O2 Radio 4.21 and the 4.00.16 (kitchen) ROM, but I DO have the More tab!

[socheat]

Hello, Posible to download O2 XDA with 4.00.16 or 4.00.11 (not ROM Kitchen), where ftp? or site download?

Thanks

[Aurora13]

Wow you can download a XDA? I had to buy mine in a shop! :)
Maybe we can download the O2 XDA II already somewhere? :) :D

But seriously: if you don't select the extra options on the kitchen page, you get a 'standard' 2003 ROM.

The band-switching feature is particularly important. Any time I've ever switched bands using the bootloader method (using bootloader 5.15, ROM 4.00.05, Radio RA.20.10) I always seem to end up accidentally doing a hard reset. Very frustrating. I've learned to always backup to SD first, but what a pain. I travel to Europe reasonably often (just got back from T-Mobile country (DE) yesterday) and would love to have the tab back. I just looked at Jeff's kitchen again, and I can confirm that there's no option there to add the More and Band tabs (there's an option to add the BandSwitch program, but as the page says, and I can confirm, it doesn't work with the 4.xx.xx ROMs).

I'll try 4.00.16 to see if the Tabs come back.

PS - That config (ROM 4.00.05, RA.20.10) has worked great in UK and Germany for me... I've roamed all over and get as good as I can get considering I'm running at 900 while I'm there.

PPS - Maybe this has something to do with stk.lnk or HTC SAT (/windows/stk.exe) which seems to always hang at startup on my system?

[spydec]

I've upgraded to ROM 4.00.11, Radio 4.17.00. I do not have the More or Band Tabs.

I also suffer from HTC SAT hanging at bootup.

Otherwise everything good.

I have an O2 XDA and in Australia
