Aftermath of upgrading from DOPOD 900 to the new 02 EXEC ROM

[ziadasmat77]

Dear All,
First of all i wish to thank everyone here for their posts. After carefully reading what you guys have been discussing, I decided to give it a try and had NO problems at all upgrading the ROM. I do have one question though, do any of you guys here have any idea on how to configure 3G and MMS for Maxis here in malaysia.

regards

Go to connection setting. Add a new modem connection, simply put in anything for name and select Cellular line for GPRS, 3G. Enter 'unet' for Access point, 'maxis' for Username and finally 'wap' for password.

To setup the MMS:-
Go to MMS, then MMS configuration. Select the servers tab. Click new then
key in Maxis for Servername, Gateway is 202.75.133.49, Port no. is 8080, Server address is http://172.16.74.100:10021/mmsc, Select the 3G connection that you just created in the upper step. Select 100K for size and finally WAP2.0. Hope this help.

Dear ziadasmat77,
Was there any particular reason why you upgrade your DOPOD 900 to the new O2 EXEC ROM? Sorry for asking this as I'm quite new to DOPOD 900.
Thanking you in advance your for kind reply.

I am a big fan of o2, i was very disappointed when o2 exec was not going to be released in malaysia, so now at least my device performs better and looks cool with the O2 Active

I don't think upgrading to Exec is a wise choice cause by comparing the Dopod900's rom to exec, the different is so minute, in fact it make me wonder if O2 has realized their own mistake and decides to release the original rom(this new release) instead of their problematic customized version.

Thank you for your reply. I thought it was meant for performance enhancement. In that case I'll stick to the original ROM.

Anyone having problem with their 3G, especially in Penang? I'm using Maxis3G unlimited package. Previous it worked flawlessly but since yesterday, it stop to work with a message like 'cannot locate the site' or 'cannot find the DNS'.
The funny thing is when there is only a GPRS signal, i can surf properly, but once i enter a 3G coverage zone(the icon switch to show 'U'), it stop working and prompt me the above message again.

So are there a lot of people using the dopod 900 in M'sia?

My uncle told me it was about 3888 at the last PC Fair. Don't think too many people will be buying it at that price.

Modem_man,
Im one of those suckers, Could not help it, But i also bought a QTEK 9100 for my wife from singapore, saved 400 RM when compared to DOPOD838

Honestly IHMO, Dopod 900 will get the latest and better rom faster than the rest due to that Dopod is a subsidiary of HTC and as you can see the agressiveness of HTC insisting on Dopod to monopolise Asian market and how O2 loose their market in supplying HTC product in Asia :(

Rm3888 during pc fair? So sad i missed that.. My hubby bought it as a Christmas present for me at Rm4050 from lowyat with 1G SD and Jabra headset.. really enjoying this great invention... just wish it could be a little bit faster.. i havent tried the tweaks yet for fear that i might mess it up.. as the saying goes, if it aint broke, dont fix it

[modem_man]

well....the price of 3888 was without the sd and the headset.

I myself have the Qtek 9000 which I just recently purchased. Both my uncle and I were debating over whether to get the Universal or not and I was finally the one who cave in. I got the Qtek at a pretty good price too. Paid about US$880 for it.

As for the popularity, it seems that a lot of the S'poreans are going towards the route of the O2Exec with Tariffs because it's a lot cheaper than buying it in S'pore. And if Dopod knows wot's good for them, they'll make it look as cool as the O2. Love the black clamshell and blue keyboard.

Concerning the tweaks, I'm slowly beginning to start tweaking the Q to work as best as I can. And maybe even change the ROM to O2's rom at a later time.

After my Xda II died on me, I finally took the plunge and got Dopod 900 as my brithday & Christmas prezzie. :) Managed to beat it down to RM3,700 w/o SD or bluetooth headset.
