  • Where can i get original battery for my O2 XDA ATOM. O2 company has stopped providing services in India. It is heard that HTC has taken over the O2. Is HTC in a position to help me? I made a big mistake by purchasing O2. God bless O2 company people.

  • Why does my O2 connect doesn't work anymore. Did they shut down the servers now? I can't get updates anymore.

  • where can i buy a battery pack for my o2 atom? tanx

  • O2 never releases WM6.x ... You must find a cooked rom by yourself. The xda-developers.com forum is a good way to start.

  • Since some weeks my O2 Atom Life (Comet) only charges when switched off. When switched on the charging sign appears but the battery does still go down. Hard reset did not help. What can I do?

  • The usual problem is that the memory(processor) is not capable of an up grade. Try down grading it again. If it still shuts down, then try to reformat it so it can have a fresh system!

  • The system must have incurred damage or whatever, try to reformat it. You can download the software through the net!

  • Just go to the file you want to delete then prolong press the item you file you want to delete. You can do this through the computer if you have a usb cable and the installer for the phone.

  • Yes. The O2 Atom came with faulty MS OS platform. All you have to do is get back to the service centre and ask them to reload the latest MS OS Mob Appl. 5.0 it'll work fine. And for additional software download it from any O2 site. Incase the battery life is bad don't dump the phone instead get a new battery of any make other than Taiwan.

  • wre can i get os ver06 for FREE? and how?

  • Yes, it could be upgraded to Windows Mobile 06! n i'm using it right now.

  • Has anyone responded to your concern? Please send me also their response. I have a similar problem with my XDA ATOM. I can't receive any phone signal at all. Please e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks a lot.

  • Another way to 'save' the batt while using it, is ti disable its always on infra red (receive conn only). Start>Settings>Connections>Beam>untick the 'Receive all incoming beams'>OK. On it (tick) only when you wanted to use it. Hope this helps. I'm using iPaq rw6828 which is functionally identical to this.

  • I've found out that the phone still able to receive call/sms even it has been switched off. -set auto switch off if not use after 1 min (battery advanced setting). -At wireless manager, check to ensure wifi-off, bluetooth-off, Phone-On. -Switch off the phone or let it auto swich off after 1 min. This will save battery life.

  • Robin, first of all you need to copy mp3 file that you want to set as ringtone to your device under my document. And then go to start -> setting -> sound and notification -> notification-> choose phone: incoming call in the event -> choose the name of the file that you just save as your ringtone. That's it. Enjoy, Jacky

  • Robert, what you have to do is to press the swich off-on botton on the top right of your Xda and (don't release) while you're keeping your finger on that switch, use your stylus to do soft reset (there's a soft reset hold on the bottom left of the phone). Jacky

  • hello friend. Speaking about warranty. The warranty for the unit will be for 1 whole year from the date of purchase. ( no matter how many replacements happen over a period ) . Post 1 year the replacement will hold 90 days warranty. And for sure 90 days is more than enough to judge if the unit is performing better or its also a problem piece.

  • Step 1 : Go to the folder you have the mp3 songs stored Step 2 : Press and hold the stylus the submenu will appear.and one of the option is Set as Ringtone. try out. cheers, -resh

  • BATTERY PROBLEM RESOLUTION : Its a known fact that this phone has a poor battery life. people on average get about 90-200 minutes talktime. > I've been using pda for ages now and have a better idea. The best option is to try with the settings : Make sure you have the settings right to get the display off after 30seconds to a minute. Alternatively you can buy any third party software like power meter to customize your power consumption settings. ( its available free to download. try googleing it. ) Even if this dont serve your purpose the only option for betterment is to replace the battery. normally the battery of atom last for about 200 cycles and then it start detoriating. Buying a High Capacity battery will solve the problem. ( you may have a question where u can buy high capacity battery for your atom. simple past this link in your browser : and click on any of the links. let me know if i can be of any help cheers, -resh

  • buddy. the battery is not good in Atom. What i advise is to buy a high capacity battery . Example: O2 XDA Atom High Capacity Battery 3200mAh will help you. try googleing it.

  • hello friend. This is not a issue with phone its battery problem. buy a hicapacity replacement battery and that will solve your problem. Ideally the complete charge will take about 1 hour 30 mins. so looks some thing is wrong with battery. try out this will help. cheers, -resh

  • Rokr and Atom are both good phone. The difference is that the sound is louder in Rokr when compared to Atom. But the Sound definition is good in Atom. even thought its not loud its clear and defined. so its your decision if you love loud music or the one that plays clear music. Hope this helps.

  • hello buddy. Im not sure how you are trying this ? What exactly you need to do is to press and hold the menu button for few seconds to get the loudspeaker on( say about 5-7 seconds ). and the same way to get of the loudspeaker.

  • Hello, I've got a XDA Atom & having a problem trying to use speakerphone function. According to the manual if you tap the menu during a call you should be able to select the "Turn hands-free on" menu but it's always greyed out on mine.plese help me.

  • Hello to all I've got a problem Sfeir, a mild voice heard him when continuous operation of the screen and Iestmr even when a call I went to the maintenance and told me that the problem in the screen I have now replaced for the second time because of the sound again after two to three months and the price of replacing the screen sums up to the price of new single Note that I use a very mild and hardly a week passes began to use When a call was forced my desire to use headphones to avoid the sound and the problem is that the voice is weak and headphones if you were speaking of the pack is empty [email protected]

  • hello! can anyone help me on how to set the phone's internet connection? everytime i use internet explorer, its gives me the message "The address is not valid. Check the address and try again".

  • Hi, first, Please find a computer with internet connection. second, type www.google.com third, type anti virus for WM5 fourth, select one of the search result and go to the site... fifth, select the software that makes a lot promises and click download. sixth, once dowloaded, connect your O2 atom to that computer via active sync. seventh, right click that downloaded antivirus and click copy. eighth, right click again in the mobil phone folder which can be found in my computer.. ninth, click explore after right clicking the mobil phone folder, once inside, right click again and click paste ... tenth, disconnect the O2 atom from the computer and open the file explorer in the O2 atom. Eleventh, click on the downloaded application and let it install... Twelveth, once installed, click on the scan the phone and let it be, till the time it's done scanning... I hope this may help you to find the anitivirus and install because if this doesn't help ...nothing ever will. JIGAR

Portable high-energy power bar of mobile phones adopt A-grade polymer solid lithium-ion batteries, and its capacity can reach 3300mAh and it is equivalent to six times of the capacity of an ordinary phone battery. It has dual functions of both backup battery and charger, it can charge for phones, game consoles, MP3/MP4 & IPOD etc digital electronic equipment with 5.5V power supply through matching a discharge output cable, you can carry “Powerbar' for power demand of your mobile electronic devices electricity at anytime, anywhere. i could have long battery life when im surfing the net using my ATOM..

  • can someone please email me on how to use atom's wi-fi feature.i cant use the explorer even if i have free wifi access.mail me at [email protected] thanks...

  • My device has spent weeks away getting repairs for similar problems; It looses audio. Someone will call and they cannot hear me and I cannot hear them. Also there are no beeps when sms come in. The warranty of repairs lasts only 3 months, so you will end up paying for the repairs. The company MWg don't maintain support or updated software. Don't buy it.

Trust me, manual looks big and time consuming but once you start reading it, you will be done within an hour ;) JIGAR

After that it keeps on trying to register in the GSM network, but fails and displays "No Service".

  • Hey Jattin from Pune... The pricing for O2 XDA Atom in Mumbai is around 22K. Meanwhile, if you are not fussy about windows 2005 OS, I would suggest you to go for Sony Eric P990i. It is a Sym 9.1 OS phone but has got more features - 3G, Bluetooth with A2DP etc. Also, the sound quality of SE is something which no one else can beat! And more importantly, its priced much less. Around 16K-17K or even less (dunno the latest prices)

  • Biggest problem is of battery. Solution: carry the charger and plug it in any socket you find when you are not moving.

  • I have had the xda atom since Feb 06. Its crap as a phone, cam, or sms. Good for ppc.. but speakers are lame and batt lifes sux hard. Feel ripped off. now using ericson.

  • I used to own a mini 02 before,it was great,but eversince I upgraded to Atom pure (special edition) I regretted. I encountered many problems from this phone. 1) speakers spoilt - distorted sound 2) unable to send MMS( not only unable to send MMS, it also cost a bomb from my monthly bill, I have to pay for the all the unsuccessful MMS) 3) The screen always goes disappear and blank and I have to do a soft reset. 4) The phone always hanged and also showed no reception. Must do soft reset in order to use again. 5) I downloaded the chinese software, but after 2 months, it will reflect that the program is expired, but mine is an original software and when I checked , it is still a valid and active program. Do anyone face these problems! I have repaired twices but problems still exist. Can anyone help? Last time, my mini 02 is abled to show the photo call in full screen and I am abled to enlarge the font showed for all incoming calls,but now , with this new atom pure, everything is so tiny. Is there a special software to download for this ?

  • Hi mate with reception problem - have you checked out the ROM Upgrade on O2 Website for your Atom . You need to check that you are using latest Rom. I had similar problems but Rom upgrade cleared them. Other than that - Send it back !

  • I bought the Atom some months back and it has been giving me non-stop problems. The reception is really bad and the other party keeps telling me they can't hear me or I am sounding distorted. But worse is it's reception! Once i enter a lift and get off, the phone keeps showing me a no reception sign. Even at other places whereby all my other friends are getting a reception for their phones, my O2 shows no signal! I have tried scanning it manually for a signal but to no avail. Only upon me doing a soft reset does the reception come on! And that comes up to resetting it at least a minimun of 6 times a day! And that is not even counting the times it hangs! And the time I have to await for the phone to turn on is really terrible. If someone has a solution to this, please please please inform me as I am getting pretty desperate cause it is affecting my work! I have tried clearing the memory of my phone but it still doesn't work! Help! Somebody please help!

  • does anyone connect pc through those o2atom.plz give me reply or send the process throuh mail plz

  • Help? The on/off button can;t turn off my ATOM. Is it a ROM problem? Secondly, how to check the hardware address of the WIFI card? I need to define in my router's access list. thanks.

  • Arpan - try switching on the equalizer - that may help

  • I have bought O2 Atom recently. I think I have done mistake. When I listen Mp3 or radio then the volume of a speaker is too too too low. I have to concentrate for hearing even if I have done 100% volume. And to upgrade my handset.

  • it does have speaker phone option - hold down Green 'call' button during a call and it activates speakerphone. I just upgraded to dopod 838 pro - its much better phone in my opinion, much more usable for messaging because of keyboard. But same sort of reliability / resets on wm5 as the O2 atom. O2 Atom is much smaller/neater in your pocket than dopod which is heavier/bigger device.

  • i wanna buy dis gadget. Any advise bout spec n software is much appreciate.email me at [email protected] man

  • Does this phone have speaker phone option.. ?Plz hel.. thanx in advance

  • Is dat phone compatible 4 Sri lanka.....any 1 using dat phone in sri lanka.. rep me soon... sometime mic s not clear.... wen record some video... song s v bad...just a hum.. wen in call sometime mic not clear..after few min it automatically disconnect

  • hi is 02 Atom support push-mail.

  • Hi to all, Pls rememeber that O2 Atom is not just your regular phone but it is a small computer. anyways, here are some tips to solve most of your problems. 1) Upgrade your firmware. 2) DO NOT save many ringing tones. (tones used are being saved in the phone memory. 3) Save / install / store your data in your SD card. Make sure that your Phone memory has big free space. 4) BE CAREFUL with wifi connection and sharing of files. (atom s not your usual computer where there is an anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware etc. Hope you get the picture) 5) You can save battery life by closing applications that are not in use. 6) Download PHONEPAD to save your STYLUS from being SAT DOWN or somethin' =) Hope this helps. Raphael

  • Bought this Atom 1 mth ago. A very good companion since I change from Symbian UIQ smartphone. With 1Gb memory, the device never being hanged, even faster performance than Dopod.

  • I had my O2 Atom for 12mths now. It works fine after the rom upgrade in March last year. Its a good phone. The main reason not to buy it is the text-entry method for SMS /Texting. If I was to buy another phone I'd buy a Dopod wiht a pop-out keyboard- if you SMS a lot you WILL really miss not having keyboard....

  • this phone is like air to me u cant live without it its the best there is no comparison of this phone once ur use to it u cant live without it its the best

  • Its not a built story. Its my true sad story for the had earnt money and my first PDA ` I bought this phone in august 2006 and got problem time and agian. firstly the charger stopped working and now i had a audio problem in jan 3rd week. ( i was not able to hear any sound from my phone( even if someone rings or if i recieve a call). As it was within warrant i took it to service centre in Bangalore ( India ) Firstly they said the technician is left the job and got it delayed for 2 weeks and then the came with a escuse that it has to go to further inspection to chennai and i wll have to product a bill( which i did ) The after a weeks inspection said that it need a mother board replacement and this board as not manufactured in india has to be imported from singapore. ( the mother board cost price is around 12000-15000 INR , so they dont keep in stock. I still wait for my phone to get repaired and its almost 2 months now.I sent n no of mails to O2 support and they revert saying that they will take this further but nothing is been done till date. ALL FALSE PROMISES ` SERVICE FOR O2 IS CRAP IN INDIA. ` The phone is great but from the service point its a crap.

  • I have Pure limited eddition, and facing two major problems: 1) How can I set the MMS settings? 2) The caller can hear his echo. Is there any updates neede?

  • BEWARE! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS HANDSET! I purchased O2 Atom in Feb, 2007 in India and have this constant problem of an immensely irritating constant buzzing sound from the headset. I got my first piece replaced by the retailer, after a long fight. The second piece started buzzing after around 10 days. Now the retailer and O2 support at India expect me to go to hell just because I am stuck with this piece. Now, I am filling a case with the Consumer Court in India to bring O2 and their support staff to accept the problem and stop selling such defective models and thereby harassing the consumers. Just do a google search on "o2 xda atom buzzing sound" and you will realize that the problem exists all over the world! I will never buy any product from O2, the support is disgusting.

  • Does the Atom support miniSD HC cards? Please reply ASAP as I am about to buy one and would like to buy the memory also.

  • Most basic functions of this phone works but there are major points that create much hassle: (1)short battery life (2) the clip holding the adapter to the charger cracks easily, as does the stylus; in 8 months i've gone through 3 pieces of stylus and 2 chargers because without the clip, the adapter isn't attached to the main body of the charger well enough to charge and the clip isn't included in the warranty (3) the device is slowed down and hangs often after just 8 months (4) the wifi can't be made to work (5) the camera is practically useless. the device hangs whenever i try to open the camera despite having enormous memory available, the resolution is really bad, and the zoom option for the video is also useless since the phone can't seem to keep up with movement when the zoom is used and you end up with an indiscernible blur.

  • My ROM version is: 20060426B1WWE. Is this the updated ROM version or do I need to upgrade it? Thanks

  • Hi people who need the ROM upgrades are the one with regular O2 Atom right? not the O2 Atom Pure Limited Edition, since this version is the updated one from the O2 Atom isn't it?

  • hey guys i have been using O2 XDA for about 1 month now and the only problem i have is the speakers...wen turned to full volume there is a lot of distortion and no clear sound othr than that this is the best phone......

  • normally how long does your battery last? mine will only for less than a day(even if it only on standby). That's terrible. Is it the same for every atom owners?

  • What's the max size miniSD memory that atom can support?

  • I bought this phone few months ago and it was great but until few weeks ago its break down.The phone wouldn't charge the battery & I send it for repair since it's still under warranty.Two weeks after repair the phone got the same problem again.The tech told me that motherboard is damaged and they will replace with the new one.Is there anyone face the same problem with me??

  • Hey Marto, you cannot delete in built applications and games!!

  • The phone is amazing for the cost, but some problems - 1) Some people say they can hear their echo while talking to me, 2)The battery is too weak, are suggestions how to save battery life or any new better batteries available?, 3) will java based games/applications work on this phone? Otherwise I was impressed with the phone.

Also, none of the other buttons (camera, voice memo, volume up/down, 02 media plus......) work when the phone is powered off. Does anybody know why it does not work? I just cant use my voice speed dial when the phone if off. I need to power it on, go to programs & then voice speed dial which is NOT user-friendly.

  • I think it's "the most perfect" PDA who I ever had!!!

  • For those who got problems with atom. Please upgrade the ROM. you can feel the different. I got mine for almost a west now. After rom upgrade no more problems.

  • are o2 atom speakers better than o2 mini speakers>??????????????????

  • I like the design and features. it's just, its all in te packaging and not perfectly functioning as it is. I have the worst experience on this PDA, it's always hanging (approx 10x a day), short battery life and so may software bugs.O2 Service centers is dumb to entertain my problem, they said its normal. Better to buy Dopod. The cost is not worth buying for. Not a good option for a PDA or a phone.

  • to switch on speaker phone press and hold the green key

  • I'm looking forward to buy this phone- Kindly advise if I'm making a right choice for a PDA. I'm pretty satisfied with the features however the user experiences count as well.

  • Do anybody know how much internal memory does O2 Atom has..??

  • I bought this great PDA 2 weeks back, please can any one help me out how can i use HANDS FREE, my hands free isnot working, i can not clcik on it, i mean it is not enable, it is these in phone menu, but it is desable, hope u guys understand i maen, if any oen can help me then please e-mail me in sajansan#gmail.com

  • on your o2atom go to PROGRAMS, click on NOTES, hit MENU and tap VIEW RECORDING TOOLBARS, then start recording either your phone conversation or use it as a simple recorder

  • I just bought an O2 atom pure. To my disappointment it didn't have recorder function. I would think recorder should be a basic function for all PDA fons. I need recorder function for meetings and record sensitive phone conversations which my previous motorola E680 can do all these. Can any one let me know if there is a software to get round this? Burt

  • How do I use the xda atom as a modem for my pc? What other unique games or dictionaries can I download for free? just email me, thanks.

  • any new roms for atom????

  • Hi I want to know how to setup an internet connection using Pc and o2 xda atom

  • Can we run 3d java games on the O2? When I try to run java games and I keep getting a 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError'. Does anybody know a fix for this?

  • Before my comments,just like to warn those who are used to the normal cellphone user.Better consider buying other model cause this is a PDA phone NOT a Huge difference compare to other phones in terms of smsing,calling etc. Design- Great! Slim,nice and neat,beat many PDA on the market. Features- 1.Ringing tone is seriously soft wonder why O2 didn't improved on this.As expected you will have problem downloading MP3 to this phones.For those computer Geek you can save the MP3 songs under the file windows/rings to set it. For those who don't know how will try using the notes > record feature.After recording its will be automatically save under ring1.So you can play your fav MP3 song,record and YES !! You get your MP3 ringtone (but the volume is still low compare to other phones) 2.PDA feature is good as this phones is supported by Window Mobile 5.0. 3.Support Wi-fi a MUST have for PDA phone.Yes i mean what's the point in buying a PDA hp without Wi-fi? 4.Support MPS,wmv file so downloading music is possible but i wouldn't use it too much ( wonder why ppl like music phones.Ipod is the way to go.) 5.SMS,MMS,Email-phones support all this but sms is not as easy as it's is on normal cell phone.For freq. PDA user it should be piece of cake but for a newbie good luck mastering the strokes heehee. 6.Camera 2mega pixel(video) is really not that bad.The only problem is after pressing the capture button picture will only be taken after 2-3 secs so you have to hold the phone real still during this.Picture capture looks goods trust me better than some mobile phone!! Performance- Firstly my O2 never hang on me.Not even once.Speed is fast but memory need improvement.Forget MP3.Camera is good.SMS require two hands.Calling and answering can be done by just touching the screen.(well done O2).Recption is great,i am suprise by the super clarity and crispy voice i hear. Battery sucks.If you freq surf battery drop damn fast.Other than that normal usage should last for 2-3 days (Provide you turnoff those backlight,remainders etc) Hope my comments here help.This is the first time i am using a PDA hp and O2 defintely didn't disappoint me all though that is much room for improvement !!

  • Hi Guys, I want to buy a BLUE TOOTH head set that can play mp3 from my Atom. JABRA can only play on Nokia phones =( Kindly reply and thank you in advance =) Raphael

  • I dunno what u guys are talking about as i am quite comfy with the phone i am a advent user of Wmobile phones and have not faced any problems with atom as yet. I read some where in the opinions and i agree this phone is not for geeks no offences but one needs to be aware of in & outs before using a pocket pc especially the normal cell phone users.

  • If really like what you said... I think Eten P300 is better than this lor!!!

  • This trouble making phone got spoiled on the 1st day of purchase.... When i was abt to recharge it after watching a movie, suddenly the phone made a super high pitched sound through such a small speaker and it juz died like that.... so embarrasing....

  • I have been using a Nokia 6600 for the past two years. Dam neat phone. However, now am considering of buying an Atom. Can any one please let me know if i this handset supports Wmv files since the OS is a windows based platform. Also can i surf the net i mean WWW sites as well since the Pocket IE thats is there in this phone is for wap 2.0 i can surf all the sites on my 6600 as i use Opera as well as Netfront. Please mail me at [email protected]

  • Hi...everybody.I like this phone very much and i decided to buy it in this year end.However,i have read many bad things about it.For example,it hangs around 30 times a day.IS IT TRUE?last time i used Eten P300 and that phone always hangs.I thought O2 is different or may be better but many of you said it not worth!IZIT ALL THE PDA PHONE ARE THE SAME(ALWAYS HANGS ONES)?Can someone gives me ideas?

  • how do we hide files in o2 atom? any idea

  • anyone know the websites of wap sites to download application for O2 atom???

  • The phone/PDA has been great for the past 4 months - until I used the FM radio. While the radio worked alright, I can no longer hear any music or ringtones, use the phone without a headset. I have done a hard reset, then did the ROM upgrade, fiddled with the radio settings, to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?

  • Where can I find the latest English ROM update???

  • please update your rom for all problems to be resolved. And geeks switch over to Nokia 1100

  • make sure all your data or msg save!!! after upgrade .everything in ur devices sure empty..

  • Download a loud ringtone - I got CTU_24.WAV. Also - Try Phonealarmlite (google for it) this is a great application to add to you r phone for managing ringing volume, profiles, SMS Alert volumes - its brilliant. Other people have said Turn on the EQualizer - helps with volume.

  • Will, Further to my problem with the Atom unable to start-up, I rang the seller & he suggested removing the battery and putting it back. I tried it and it worked. Just to let you guys know in case you have a similiar problem. I have another problem with the phone. The ringing is so soft that I cannot hear ir unless in the quiet of the night in spite of the highest volume. Any way to solve this pl? Tks. Ebrownlea

  • I can only find the english version of xda, would like traditional chinese. My retailer got it from Taiwan. Does anybody know if users in Hong Kong download the traditional version of Chinese or if it came with traditional chinese language. Anybody please help (traditional chinese only not simplified version)

  • will all my messages disappear after i do a ROM upgrade?

  • I've met with some problems since my last post.. I was charging my o2 pure overnight.. when I woke up, the phone had hung. None of my calls/smses could come in. Tried to do many soft & hard resets over a period of 4 days to no avail, it just wouldn't boot past the o2 screen. Since I was entitled to a 1-for-1 exchange at that point, I went down to my phone provider centre to get a replacement set. The 1st new replacement set (box with o2 seal) had a faulty antenna. The sound was fine. Both myself and the cust svc person tested several SIMcards on it to no avail. So it was marked faulty and brought back in. The 2nd new replacement set (box also with o2 seal) seemed fine, but I didn't get to test the sound as I was running out of time. I'm currently using it. I only found out about the speaker problem when I brought it home. There's a low hissing noise from the speakers, and the phone emits a very high-pitched sound when I turn on the LCD. The speakers sound like they're not plugged in properly .. as in certain audio layers can't be heard, even when the equalizer is turned on. The 1st set I originally had (the one which hung) gave crystal clear, solid sound quality and had no high-pitched sound. I'm going to try a ROM upgrade on this current phone. If that doesn't work, I'll just have to go to the O2 centre. I must say, though, that this has been a very disappointing experience for me. I am not a fussy customer, but 3 faulty phones, all NIB, in a row is abit much. O2 had better buck up or they'll lose their customers fast! =T

  • Will, Just got my Atom last Friday and it has crashed 3 to 4 times. On 2 occasions soft & hard resets did not solve problem. Eventually after charging about 4 hours I managed to restart it. Just crashed again when I was going taking photos and going through the camera features & after being unable to soft & hard reseet I am recharging it now. What could cause the crash & any idea to solve problem? Thanks very much. ebrownlea

  • Hi Ali, Check this site out, If you need anything on Pocket PC in Dubai, you can count on me. Sanjar

  • Just received it 2 days ago -my first pda/phone! After charging it about 2 hours I started testing it and was pleasantly surprised with the many features. However the screen suddenly went dark [hanged? ] and even after charging it for 5 to 6 hours the screen still could not be turned on even while the phone was being charged. Finally managed to get it working by soft resetting it. Can someone advise what caused it to do this and is this going to be a regular feature? Any permanent solutuons please. Thanks very much. Ebrownlea

  • I too am not too happy with my atom. At times the phone just stops working without any indication. The signal would be there and everything would seem to work but when you would call someone, the phone would not connect. Only a reset helps then. At other times it just switches o

  • I luv the PC Part of it, it's soo flexible with the wifi and windows software. The only thing i really hated about it, and this caused me to sell it the first week i got it, was the extremely poor reception. Sometimes for a whole day i would have no reception while on other phones i'd have at least half the reception full. This was very annoying

  • i just bought an O2 XDA Atom. How does it work in the Dubai? How can i download updates? pls advise some useful software update sites.. thanks

  • As per a friend's recommendation, I did a ROM upgrade as soon as I bought my o2 atom pure (white) this week. The o/s has been very stable so far, no issues with calls. However, this classy baby still has 2 major performance issues that prevent it from being a hit. 1 - The speakers fare poorly at slightly louder volumes. Sound quality is very good up till 77% of full base volume (meaning w/o equalizer). But at 78%-100% of full base volume, the sound becomes distorted and the sound "trembles" painfully. The equalizer does a great job of boosting sound quality, but its effects are handicapped by the speakers' limitations. 2 - Slow Wordprocessing speed. There is a slight lag in registering letters. If you're the sort who SMSes often, this will really frustrate you. Using the transcriber is like trying to paint letters with sticky UHU glue. The strokes keep "sticking" and that forces you to write like a primary 1 child. Letter recognition also seems to have deproved slightly since the o2 mini. The keyboard is more bearable, but I still had to slow down my typing (or rather, tapping) speed. Some other stuff that other folks might mind : - The battery life easily depleted, recommended to keep a spare battery closeby. - Phone vibration is not too strong (as compared with o2 mini) - Camera a tad slow to capture pictures, although image quality is good - The O2 earphones look like they're from Mars (a stranger sitting next to me laughed along when she overheard me making that comment. We were both in the middle of purchasing the same phone at the same shop.) I'm still pretty happy with my phone despite the 2 major issues. I hope o2 releases a patch to fix the laggy wordprocessor soon, because that's the biggest sore point for me. I dunno if anything can be done about the speakers, since it appears to be a hardware limitation, but it's something I can tolerate. :D

  • What exactly are u looking for? Maybe one of us here is able to help.

  • o2.com is really crappy. Just can't find any info I need!!

  • Can someone tell me how do I back up every thing from the phone to the memory card?

  • Geek or no geek that is not the issue. The phone stink. Hang as often as anyone care to remember. At times it reset by itself! Is it a problem with Windows or has it to do with Atom's hardware? Either way dont waste your money finding out. This piece is not worth the bread.

  • Atom randomly will not call out, phone regularly hangs - have tos oft reset daily. Motherboard replaced and still not working - has anyone else had similar problems?

  • Geeks are not supposed to buy this phone thats wht i can say if u drive and use phone thats bad if u use any

  • Upgrade or no upgrade the O2 Atom is a pricey toy not worth the money. Camera is hopelessly slow and hard to operate. Replay of photos taken is also not user friendly at all. Speakers stinks - soft and distorted. Windows hang more than I care to remember. The last one during a critical time when I was driving. My biggest mistake by the Atom was like being hit by one.

  • I found a cool PocketPC video player that is freeware that can handle avi, mpg, mov, M4a, aac, wmv, divx. Quite versatile and easy to use. It has it's own equallizer and volume control. I am using it and I never used the built in media players again. Check out the Sompy Player found at this address,

  • akoyitakma For ROM Upgrade go to www.o2.com , register , and you'll be able to download it. Rom Upgrade is a software upgrade for the phone - issued in March this year, it makes the phone faster, better ,more reliable, etc.. very important to do this if you have not already.

  • Hi, Ive been having some problems with my atom similar to thos problems posted here. The most common solution ive read from the forum is to get a rom upgrade? What exactly is a rom update and where/how do i get this update? What does it do to my atom to help solve the problem. Thanks.

  • the atom is a great piece of gadget. but the only problem i'm having is that i cant have it play some video clips, and i cant find the settings for the file association of what it can and cant play (e.g. avi,mpeg etc.)

  • I tried to remove Garmin Que in my 02 Atom but it seems it is not removed properly as it keeps prompting "cannot execute \memory Card\Garmin\GarminQue.exe" which I find already annoying. Thanks in advance for the help.

  • i have looking for PDA phone since a years plus, can someone lets me know that is this the suitable PDA phones for me ?

  • Can we run 3d java games on the O2? When I try to run java games and I keep getting a 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError'. Does anybody know a fix for this?

  • this is the best phone i've ever had and its way ahead of all the other pda phone's i've tried and canvassed. I've been looking for game and application downloads and so glad to have found it here. thanks will and others for making it easier for us. i already downloaded diary2 and fullscreenkeys successfully. However after downloading and installing spb airisland game, it always says install unsuccessful.. can anyone help me?

  • How can I do the rom upgrade from the usa? Thanks

  • How to download arabic software for messages.

  • hello may i know who got the software below Agile messenger ConverterCe pro Lexisgoo Streaming media and the serial number or send it to my email

  • I am unable to run java games and keep getting a 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError'. Does anybody know a fix for this?

  • Haridheren, I do face the same problem like u. However, I do not what is wrong with the phone. Suspected it's the software problem. The trick is to have the chorus, of course a short churos, as a ringtone & set it to ring once. This will definitely save u from some embarrassment moments.

  • This is by far the worst phone I have ever used. When I say that I mean the phone component is not worth squat. Continually drops out, voice breaks up, people cant hear you properly, you cant hear people properly, static over the line. Basically anywhere where it isnt super quiet with maximum signal the phone performs worse than some of the first mobiles ever released. Before you say it, I have done every ROM upgrade possible and made every tweak possible (elec engineering background so I'm no dummy). As a PDA i have to say its great but kinda falls short on the important part and that is making calls. Only had it for 2 months then made a switch to Nokia E60. Lost a lot of features but at least i can hear the other person when speaking on the phone. My opinion, if you want a phone more than a pda then look elsewhere...

  • Hi guys O2 is a great phone... I have not used a phone which is as easy as this.... well i have a small problem when some one calls me and gives me a miss call the phone still rings for a few more secounds and on top of that the MP3 song which i downloaded hangs or it sings like a cheap cd.... please advice me on what shoud i do... I know there is some thing i have not done....... Thanks...

  • Hi... is it ok if i put 2G mini SD?? Can any one share info?? Thanks

  • Its a great phone. I am using this phone ftor last 6 months and it is just fantastic. People who are finding problems probably do not have the brains to use such a device. They should stick to something simlper like a Nokia.

  • The design of atom is great, i like it so much, but there is a problem that made me dissapointed like my LCD, when i take it to outdoor the LCD shaking, it's happen every i took it to outdoor, how can i fix it?

  • yup once you upgraded your atom everything will run smooth,and lemme add one more thing, if you usually use your atom as mp3 player try downloading SCREEN SWITCH so you can turn off your atom even playing music, and save more battery.

  • how about the battery life of this phone? is it true that it only lasts for about 5hrs?

  • No my friend i use to face the problems u have mentioned before the Rom Upgrade But not now. An by the way lemme clarify nothings perfect.

  • Are you saying that Your phone works perfect? People dont complain they cant hear you properly on the other end? Or when you have the headset or even a bluetooth connected it doesnt give a hissing air sound?? thats all i am getting during calls, and ppl complain that its breaking up ...

  • And yaa use a 3.5 mm jack converter and put a ipod headphone believe me you won't believe your ears while playing mp3s. BUt guys please put in the new Rom also while calls check if your speaker volume is set properly.

  • I dunno guys what you are talking about i have this phone for the last 5 months and am not facing any problems whatsoever. Ofcourse without the Rom upgrade this phone sucks, but once you arm it with the latest rom upgrade this baby burns lik,e a sweet kitten. Of course for geeks they have problems everywhere. u can honk me at +919225230475 for clarifications

  • so all you guys would not recommend anybody from buying an xda atom?

  • I have a problem with my Atom, speakers go silent by itself after a while as it I put it on silent myself. I check every thing and look normal. To get the speakers working I have to soft rest, any idea why? or I have something wrong with speakers

  • i dunno about u guys but i think your o2's are messed up!mines workin real great,i know the camera isnt that good but it isnt that bad as other say it is.

  • OMG the PHONE QUALITY SUCKS A$$!!!! Everyone tells me I sound like a Robot on the phone and the sound is Soooooooo Low... I can hardly hear the other person and have to repeat myself constantly to whom ever I am speaking to. I even have the Latest ROM upgrade and it did nothing for sound quality during calls!! Any ideas ???? Are they going to fix this w another ROM upgrade? What a Shame, such a NICE Device, but ruined it with a Poor Phone function.... nevermind the hideous Camera!

  • How good is the Music player.Does it play all formats through Media Player.

  • Yes it comes with MSN and you can write the emails but you need GPRS from your service provider to send and recive the emails

  • I was scared to get the O2 Atom after reading all the horrible things ppl had to say about it, but man lemme tell you, its AWESOME !!! I dunno what ppl r talkin about on here...which is a good thing. I do have the latest ROM update and all, maybe thats why, but its awesome and FASTER than MOST PPCs out there that I have used. However, I have to agree, what the heck were they thinking calling the camera a 2.0 Megapixel??? It looks like a 0.2 Megapixel! Seriously, they shouldnt be able to get away with this!! Its a shame... anyhow, other than that, its a ROCKING MaCHINe!!! I recommend it to Anyone who doesnt want a camera in their phone.

  • just wanted to ask if you can also download yahoo messenger in atom and how? also is it true that its battery life does not really last so long?

  • I got cheated. i was told i could edit my powerpoint slides but in fact it cant be done.only viewable, not edit-able. and the camera quality is so bad...why..why..is it something wrong with the settings or am i dumb? somebody who knows plz help me plz..thanks!!

  • Have you uninstalled , rebooted, and then gone throug a fresh re-install of latest version of Activesync? (Make srue you have latest version or the one tat came in box with Atom). is it connecting to the pocket pc?. then try 1 thing at a time , like syncing To-Do's, then Calendar, then mail.. do it in small steps to prove whats working or not.

  • I am very frustrated. My 02Mini has been replaced with an 02 Atom (black case), and in spite of hours of effort I cannot get activesync to work. The autodiagnostic suggested some changes to Firewall which were made, but even with the firewall off...to no avail. Is this a piece of crap or does it actually sync as Windows4 used to.

  • hi, juz gotten atm exec days ago. 2 main problems: - ability to connect to my wireless router (wifi) intermittent. When I'm lucky it connects. Else, even if I manually connect it is says "Available". Btw, my wireless router supports both 802.11 b and g stds. - ActiveSync never worked till date. The version in companion CD is version 4.0. I downloaded and tried versions 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5 beta. None worked. When trying to connect, it says "Retrieving registering information" and hung there. On the Atom itself, status is: "ActiveSync encountered a problem in the desktop. Support Code: 0x85010014 " Searched for this support code but no avail.

  • hi there! was just wondering if anyone could tell me the answers to these questions: 1.) what's the main difference between 02 xda atom and 02 xda atom executive? and 2.) although it's a given fact that the 02 atom pure is a limited edition, is that enough to get that instead of the black version? or is the white one more prone to dirt? pls reply to me email, i'll appreciate it a lot...thanks! :)

  • I'll try to help some of your problems: - Battery need to be charged on a daily basis Set back up light to lower than 5, it's bright enough, set it to turn off after 30 seconds, power save after 3 minutes, turn off screen when listening to music. This should help it last at least 2 days. - camera is below average,unless bieng is a bright day light. Play around with the settings a bit and make sure you don't move the camera for 2.5 seconds after the shutter sound. - if you use it in the car to call, then you need to be very carefull. Install vjphoneshortcuts, it can help you get a button shortcut to call history. - install the necessory programs only,or it becomes slow. Install on memory card only and always stop all programs you are not using in "memory" then it should be always fast. - it doesnt insert a cantact info into a text message, you have to put it as a vcard in a MMS !!!!! Don't know what you mean....

  • Been using this phone for almost 3-4 mths and it's been doing quite well. But my only main concern is that "IT'S THE VIDEO QUALITY!!". How am I able to "at least" reach 10fps?

I have spoken to O2 and HP support, the only response is to send it back at my expense. Neither recommended.

  • I have two questions. When I soft reset it tells me to do auto configuration but since I live in Canada, none of it makes any sense. Is there a way for it to not ask me anymore? Or is there a way to set it for Canada? Also, when I watch news with journal bar sometimes it tries to connect with GPRS. I don't use GPRS because I don't want to pay for it, is there a way to disable it permanently until I want it on?

  • Daniel, U might wana know that Atom only support Wireless B network standard. I believe that that router u mentioned support B/G.

  • Could anyone post a link for a software that can make the flash light present on atom to be switched on off manually? That wud be a great help. And r there any softwares for the camera that can derive more options out of it.

Thanks in advanced

  • thx again.. how do you erase the music in o2 media plus?

  • The email thing you are talking about is called PUSH email . Only some email providers give you this option. You need to ask your email provider. To do WiFi : Go to Settings/Connections and open the WiFi Utility. Click'menu' and 'turn on wifi' then look in 'site survey'tab. Select the network you want to connect to and it should connect. Then open internet explorer and surf

  • To see your memory card - plug the phone into PC and use the 'EXPLORE' button in the ActiveSync window, drag& drop files onto it. When you install pgms it asks you 'main memory' or 'memory card' if you chose mem card it installs into memory card.

  • Thanks alot i was able to put new message alerts in my atom.CAn you pls help me with more questions...Please! Question: how do i transfer data like programs onto my memory card? Question how do I set my atom to receive email alert once I get an email? even if i am not browsing. Question: How can I access to internet thru WiFi?

  • U need to think about data input -if you're going to do lots of SMS/Work stuff then the input method is important. The full keyboard on the palm will be useful. Atom is a pain in ass to do input on without a t9 keypad hack (see this forum's back pages). Other than that - Palm cmpatibility with word/etc is a problem. I use ATOM for work email, calendar sync, etc. Battery life is 24hrs. no where near my old nokia but hten my old nokia wasnt a PC.... it was a phone.

  • Hi, Just bought this cell phone, works well.. I cant seem to set up a customized mp3 file for text msg notification, I've tried it copying down to the folder where other files are installed (alarm1.. etc) but it wont show up on the list in the phone. Am i missing something? Thanks

  • - Put the .wav file in the same directory as Windows wav files (alarm1 etc) - go into the system/sounds ¬ifications, drop down to 'new text message' and hten chose your special alarm tone from the 2nd drop down. - To get your email settings you need to ask your provider. If you google the question Im sure you'll find the answer on the web.

  • thanks.. What I'm trying to find out is how I can use a tone that I have passed from my N90 as a message alert of ATOM. I checked the settings it has a pre-set choice of notification alerts. I wana use a WAV file as message alert. Is that possible? Can anyone help? pls... How will i get the settings from my email provider? where will i go? can i get it on the internet? and how? pls.

  • Anyone has tried to record phone conversation? I tried to record but the other party's voice is very very faint and barely audible when i play it but was loud and clear over the phone conversation. I have also noticed that I cant use the headset and record phone conversation at the same time. Anyone else has this difficulty?

  • You need to get your email server settings from your email provider - like hotmail or gmail they have specific settings for these bits. You can change alert tones - have a look in settings.

  • Good day all.. I have just bought an ATOM and its ok so far. I was trying to create my email account but i dont know what to put in the Email server specifically the INCOMING MAIL, OUTGOING MAIL and DOMAIN. Pls help me.. One more thing can you change the message tone to something customized? I mean add a new message alert tone? Tnx.. Post it pls or email me.

  • 12lrS12 - You should be able to charge to max on usb. - If you look back a few pages on this forum there area alot of posts for s/w unlock codes for sPBsoftwraehouse stuff - and a t9 phone pad that you will want too - that makes SMS easier.

  • Hi to all, Pls help me on how to play MPG files. Can someone point me to a free or cracked software that will play mpg. many thanks.. Raphael =)

  • I bought this phone 2 days ago and here is a few comments from me incase anyone is considering this phone: The version I have is a HK-EN version bought with the May ROM update installed. And my previous phone was a SE P800 so there may be some comparisons to symbian. Pro's: -Fast processor -Memory/Running programs option, you can turn off some bacground programs to have it run even faster -Small design, small even with a carrying case -Good resolution screen and can adjust to bright or dark -Very flexible with many programs available since there are many windows mobile devices. -Flawless SNES emulator, you don't need any mobile games when you have a whole SNES available with all the best games, except for sudoku. -Buttons are flexible, you can set three buttons to any shortcuts you want. I have them set as Camera, Voice dial, and Contacts -Sound/Music, very good clarity and sharpness, or bass with sound since there is an equalizer so you can make every ringtone sound the best. The loudest settings show the limited bass and sharpness flaws but it happens to all mobile speakers. -MiniSD, it's cheap, it's small, it's perfect -No Hanging, I haven't had any slowed or hanging problems except for once when I randomly installed some program to it and forced it to run, but this isn't too bad as well since there is a soft reset button, you don't need to take out the battery to reset it. -CE Paint, it's free to download and works just like MS paint, simple program but I can't live without drawing on my mobile -FM radio, I don't listen to radio but I played with it anyways. Automatically scanned for all the channels in my area, most of it had great reception and quality, better than my car's reception. -Call history, shows all calls and what it was such as incoming, outgoing, ignored. -Strong signal strength, haven't had any weakened signals yet compared to the P800 when it was noticeably weak at times. -File Explorer, you won't ever run into those problems in older mobiles where you don't know how to access files in certain non-default folders -ROM updates, they can be done yourself for free -Screen rotation, it�s allowed and what else can I say? -Today, the main screen, most of the main things can be toggled there such as, Time, Date, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, Messages, Tasks, Calender, Email, Phone, Contacts. It�s definitely better than having a wallpaper that says Rogers. Con's: -Camera Delay, when you take a photo you count "3, 2, 1, 0!" but you will find that the photo actually takes a photo of -2 in "3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2". To compensate you must count and click from 2 in "3, 2, 1, 0" -Holding functions, some functions such as calender dates require you to hold on the screen for a second, which is an irritating process. -Battery life is not great, you have to use "turn device off after 3 min" otherwise it won't last over 2 days for sure. -Handsfree/headphones, they are the wierdest headphones ever and they don't fit very well. -Dialing, hard to dial as a normal cellphone especially in the car. This can be compensated by using voice dial which has worked very well so far. -Contacts, it sorts alphabetically by last name. I don't know everyone's last name except for a few ones that are common such as Tony, John, and others but they are all mixed such as you would get the order as "Barbara, Chan Tony, Cherry" and it would be hard to browse. Between Con and Pro: -Typing and recognition, it's not easy to get used to it and I don't see any instructions as well. It would be normal pace to write a paragraph on P800 but this would take significantly longer. I hope it will get better later. With symbian you can just write on the screen but for this one you need to open up the �recognizer� to write so it�s another slower feature. -Calender, the calender works fine but it's slower to use effectively compared to symbian's calender, but I like the reminder at the Today main menu to show what is next in my schedule. -The crystal carrying case fits very well and closely with an opneing screen flap like the Motorola A1200 which helps me retain a high resale value incase I want to change phones later on. -The Think Outside stowaway bluetooth keyboard works perfectly so I can take notes and record meetings with this and microsoft word. It's also very useful when playing the SNES with the keyboard with fullscreen. -Internet browsing, it works, it's not great, and typing is acceptable. Resolution is great though for seeing small words and more in a page. The only thing I would use it for is to check email and emergencies.

  • Lowell, You might want to try using the Auto Configurator before you decide to uninstall anything. This application actually gets the Service Provider's information from your SIM card & set it in your phone automatically.

  • Lowell - on ActiveSync on PC look at add/remove applications and remove O2 Msg Plus that shoulddeactivate .

  • hi guys i have a problem with my atom. other phones cannot send me any file to me but i can. in the other phones says that unable to connect.

  • Hi, I just installed the latest patch. So far, the performance improved but I have a brand new problem with the messaging. Messaging doesnt work anymore. I can receive nor send SMS with that. SMS can only be done using SMS plus which is not user friendly. Although I see a notification that I have unread messages, they are not updated to my O2 SMS plus right away. Not to mention, I can't set any SMS alert for O2 sms plus. Is it possible for me to activate the old messaging and deactivate the O2 SMS plus? cheers lowell

  • This Is with Ref. To O2 XDA Atom ( IMEI No. 357553000119898) brought from ALFA-Mumbai on 17/02/2006. Bill No. B/211. On 13/04/2006 after changing the Sim card the get got hanged and refused to work. On inquiring about it to a local dealer I was directed towards ACCEL FRONTLINE LTD., (Connection Center - Pune) Where Mrs. Prabha V attended me. Who in turn informed me that the set is to be sent at H.O. Chennai and would take at least 20 days Ref. BMW-PUN-P-254 ON 13/05/2006 I was informed by the Pune office that the set has come back without being repaired and that the set is not under warranty on reproducing the XEROX copy of the bill the set was once again sent to Chennai the entire R.F. Board has been changed as a result the IMEI No of the set was changed to 357553000042132 and the set was delivered to me on 20/05/2006. 24 days later on 13/06/2006 I encountered the following problems. � Blue tooth was not being discovered by other Hand sets � Windows Media player the file is getting Open only Once � Handset was getting hanged � The set was connected to P.C. but was not getting synchronized � Camera was not taking the correct picture & clarity is an issue The set was again back with ACCEL FRONTLINE LTD. (Connection Center-Pune) where Mrs. Prabha V had to once again send it to H.O.- Channai (Ref.MBL-PUN-50020) This time the set was delivered to me on 23/06/2006 again with R.F board changed & the new IMEI No was 357553005001331 The first four problems were solved but the Camera Problem Remained as under. The image that is to be captured is focused & after the button is pressed the image is shown on the screen for about 2sec. Approximately after which the click sound accurse at this instance if the physical position of the set is changed it looses the original image captured & the one stored in the memory is different than what was focused Although the clarity was improved but it still not satisfactory as compared to Nokia (N70) or Sony (K750i) As per Talks with MR. UmaShankar at H.O.-Chennai in presence with MRS. Prabha V regarding the Camera Problem I was told that the latest software up gradation (i.e. RADIO: R060428N_MNIARC_RS00049; ROM: 20060426BIWWE) & the change of R.F. Board is the least that can be done from our side with no further improvement. Each time I suffered with the loss of all my contact Nos. as backup could not be taken also some time while using the set the entire screen goes white and the set stops responding only after removing the battery of a master reset will restart the set. And all the setting saved are changed the handwriting file saved in the transcriber cannot be loaded for use I had to call your service center no. daily for the status of the set. Need less to mention the countless trips. I had to make to your service office due to bad service which not only disturb me routine work but also caused frustration. Now the reliability of the set is a Question to be asked. I am not sure weather the set would work properly in future & the 2MP camera is a shame to click with. As it cannot capture even a still picture correctly forget the moving once

  • Hi All, Need advice from you all. O2 released new ROM for Atom Exec "20060721B1WWE" and wonder whether it compatible with the XDA Atom.

  • Jow, I think what u are trying to ask is whether this Atom can be used to surf net. Yes, either by WIFI or GPRS. U have to check for both the services at your local site and service provider, respectively.

  • its this phone can online at anyway ?

  • Guys, I have had my Atom for about 6 months. Had constant problems with crashing, freezing, slowness to begin with. Upgraded with 3 lots of new ROMS losing all data before now being in a position where mostly the product runs o.k. O2 nicely implied they were doing users a favour by providing software upgrades that actually work at no further charge. The only exception to my current acceptance of the product are the phone function, camera, and synching. Outbound call connection only successful about 60% of the time, incoming better. Reception seems to be worse than with my previous basic nokia. Camera has delay of about 2 seconds from push of button to capture of image. Synch is only successful about 50% of the time. This is all with latest ROM upgrade, no memoery card, with no foreigh software and regularly closing of running programs. Have unsuccessfully pursued O2 for refund.

  • Hi Audrey, I dun think we can increase the internal memory. However, the external memeory card comes with 512MB, 1G & 2G storage. Try to store third party applications, softwares, games & songs in the Mini SD instead. Free up as much internal memory as possible so that your system will run faster. To use mp3 file as a ringtone, just store the song in the memory card, not in any folder. U will be able to choose it from the Setting -> Phone -> Ring Type. If u have already done so, then erase it from Windows -> Rings.

  • hi guys have just bough an atom a month ago...the problem is that the battery is lasting me around 12 hours only.is that normal? i have even got the battery changed, my usage is not very high and before this i waz using a nokina n70 and with the same usage it was lasting me two days.HELP neone?

  • Steven, You can put the caller on speaker phone. Just press and hold onto the Call button on your phone.

  • I have an O2 Atom phone but do not know for sure if I can increase the memory of the phone. If this is possible, can someone show me how to do it? My brother got it for me as a present... but I don't know how to play around with it.... Help!!!!!!!!

  • U Can Download T9 s/w in this forum forum.xda-developers.com in windows mobile thread - it's a thread about russian language for t9 - but its english too. Since the MAY ROM Upgrade - this phone has not crashed on me 1 time - it is very solid. Its very fast too and works fine

  • can I place the caller on loudspeaker while im on a call? does this phone support it? if possible then how can i do it. thanx in advance.

  • nas, same goes with my O2. even so for my friends dopod. its because even on off mode, its on standby, your phone is still on... guess that's why its that way. i normally charge early morning before off to work. ciao

  • I am facing a problem, I think I have over charged my O2 Atom and Now it is not starting, but when I connect to the Charger or to the USB. it start what might be the problem. I message which comes when I disconnect the charger cable or USB cable is "Main Battery is Exhausted" Help me please

  • Ben, I hv both installed but the consumption is still high. I think the culprit is my Transcend mini sd 1G 80x. I tried taking it out and after 6 hours the battery bar drop to 96% only. Anyone with the same problem?...buying another mini sd is not an option at the moment as i hv just bought the current mini sd.

  • Nas, U might want to download the O2 Plus application. It helps to reduce the consumation of the battery when the application is installed. Just access it through your Atom when u sync with your computer, ensure internet connection is available. Alternatively, go to www.spbsoftwarehouse.com & download SPB Pocket Plus: 30372645

  • I am very tempted to purchase this XDA Atom but I am seeing reviews and comments everywhere about the many problems and crashing. I want to ask has the crashing problem been fixed with the latest May 2006 ROM update? Because I am currently using a P800 and I am honestly saying that it crashed a million times at first but hasn't crashed once since I updated the firmware almost 2 years ago.

  • my atom is fully charged but when i turn it on in the morning, left only 70% battery. everything was off. is it normal?

  • plz can any1 send me t9 messanging link for o2 atom exec?

  • hello O2 users, i recently got O2 Atom Exec. And I am not liking it. Not at all user friendly. I am having these problems: 1. When I receive call on O2 (i.e without Earphones/Bluetooth Earphone) the other person can't hear me at all. Either I have to shout (if possible) or have to use headset. 2. Can't hear music thru speakers on the phone when playing mediaplayer or O2MediaPlus. Any help will be appreciated. Already done hard reset once.

  • Kat, it is perfectly all right for your battery. It is recommended for initial charging of any new battery to be at least 6 - 8 hrs. A new Lithium-ion battery will benefit from an initial "conditioning" of the battery. For the first 3 charge cycles, fully charge the battery overnight and allow it to fully discharge before recharging.Once conditioned, Lithium-ion batteries will perform best when charged at a rate somewhere between a conventional slow charge and a rapid charge. When rapid charging, Lithium-ion batteries require a charger designed to charge Lithium batteries. To achieve a true full charge when rapid charging, the battery needs to be slow charged the last 10-15% of its charge cycle. A Lithium-ion battery may be damaged by extensive overcharging (continuously on a charger for more than 24 hours).

  • Kat, yup a big investment. feel free to email me at [email protected]

  • i am tempted to get a p990 �... but i should be contented with this fone, as this isa very big investment... haha

  • Kat, :-), nope, still gonna wait for SE P990 review, then i will decide.

  • i just fully charged my atom yesterday, and it says 8 hrs initial charging time. it also says that when charging, the amber light is on. but when i was charging, after 2 hrs, the amber light already went off. did that mean that it was fully charged already? although the light went out,. i did not unplug the charger, i still charged it for 8 hrs. was that normal, the amber light turning off even before i reach the prescribed inital charging time? i'm worried there might be a prob with my batt or something.

  • Does o2 atom has a fax features? How do it use it?

  • kat: removing battery to change sim-card does not effect anything to the things you save to phone memory such as appointments & notes. Tried this several times before. Steve: HPipaq is the same as O2 atom. In fact i was considering buying that HP series u mentioned coz its practically a copy of O2atom with cheaper price, but my friend told me that some O2 software applications cannot be use in HP such as the fax features. That's why i decided to just stick to O2.

  • I have 1gb mini-sd card - it is no problem. Some applications it is better to install in 'main memory' like Today Plugins... for faster access but 1gb SD card is fine for Mp3 / Video/file storage/backup etc.

  • another question... i have visited the O2 website and it says that a 1GB mini SD card can be used in the atom with no problems. has anyone tried this? is this true? i mean, would it not make the device slower, etc.? thanks �

  • thanks for the help! � allan, have you decided what to get? �

  • Kat - It does not lose any data when you take the battery out to swap Sim Cards. You can use the phone without a Sim Card as just a PDA as well .

  • Anybody able to help kat out regarding her question on removing the sim card. tq

  • hi allan! thanks. actually i just got my atom yesterday, although i was also considering the p990 up until the last minute. p990 seems like a good fone, but it is still not a pocket pc. basically, that's it. it's got good reviews though... another question, since atom is a pda, would removing the battery tp change sim cards affect the fone? i mean, would it erase all my files, apps, etc stored in the fone? help...please?

  • Does anyone have problems with Using motorola H700 bluetooth headset with Atom? I'm experiencing poor call quality, coz i can hardly hear wat the other party is saying, but without using blue tooth it is ok, but not great either. it is worst if u install the volume limiter from O2. any solutions? desperate for help.....

  • I have had 2 O2 Atoms recently and am just about to recieve my 3rd replacement. The 1st 2 both made a slight hissing sound from speakers when switched on. The 1st one did it straight out of the box where as the 2nd one only started making the sound after the 1st week. I have spoeken to several people about it and have recieved a variety of answers ranging from it is normal to it is a fault that only affects a particular series. Can anyone offer any advice on the problem?

  • Can anyone tell me if the HP ipaq 6828 is different to the O2 Atom? Upon reading opinions, it seems the HP camera has some issues.

  • I'm a new O2 Atom user, i love this pda phone. Can someone please tell me what program i need to install to sync my O2 to an imac laptop? Thanks in advance

  • Kat, yes, basically the same except the processor speed, ROM n casing. I wish i could help u to decide on which phone, BUT i havent gotten it yet. i m looking 4ward to purchase the SE P990 IF it gets a good review, otherwise O2 Atom Exec would be my contingency back-up hp, :-)

  • Hi! Does anyone know how to save offline web pages to my Atom so I can read it even without internet connection? Thanks

  • thanks allan... so basically they're the same? may i ask your opinion of the phone?

  • Kat, almost everything is the same for atom n atom exec except that the latter has more ROM n faster processor n matte-finish. the atom has a glossy casing which attracts fingerprint easily. i believe atom exec comes included a IR keyboard, but u have to check with the dealer/seller on whether it is included with the atom exec in respective country.

  • what is the difference between the xda atom exec and the xda atom? please enlighten me.. thanks...

  • Syed, where did you buy your Atom Exe? I though it has been only out for a month. (but you got it 2 months ago). Or the one you brought is actually the orginal Atom?

  • Please dont waste your money on this product. I bought Atom Exec two months ago and since then I have series of problem. I have send for repairs three times already. The speaker is useless, the system hangs frequently and tI have already have to replace the screen, it cracks easily. It is not worth at all to invest in any Atom product. I am looking for other reliable brand of PDA now.

  • hello everyone... Does any1 knows wheater the XDA IIi supports 1gb SD or not? XDA IIi or O2 atom is better choise to get? Really hope to hear from some1 experienced both the phone or either 1 of it if you're using them. Thanx alot...

  • - Alarm clock , go into Settings/Systems/Clocks & alarms - there are 3 alarms there you can set. (rememebr to turn speaker volume up before you go to bed !! ) - Phone Ring Tone - download a loud ringtone/.sms tone - gpo.wav is very loud - google for it. I use PhoneAlarmLite - try that too its great app for Atom 15$US

  • Can anybody help me with 2 issues - A) can the O2 be configured to alert on receipt of SMS when in battery save mode, B) The alrrm volume is very faint, can it be increased. I used my old mobile as an alarm clock but this just doesnt have it.

  • Hi Ben, Thanks, turning off the firewall worked for using the activesync, although I don't think that's the way it should work.

  • hey im thinking of gettin XDA IIi or O2 Atom.. any opinion? can the XDA II i support 1gb or 2gb SD card ? thanx ...

  • Can anybody please tell me...which software will compatible in this mobile to RECORD CALL i.e (Conversation while we speak). cheers; thanks.

  • Rob, Try to press & hold on the "Call" key.

  • can any body pls tell me how to get the speaker phone to work. i have installed the latest firmware and it still doesn't work.

  • Can someone advise the best settings for Atom for use with MS VoiceCommand program, which I find to be so useful when it works. Previously, I used VoiceCommand on my XDA Mini and it worked perfectly. Now, I can't seem to get the right settings for the Atom to recognise my voice when there is even small amount of background noise present. It is OK when there is no background noise present.

  • Hi Jason, shut down your firewall & try again. It should work.

  • Hi everyone, Does anyone have problems with their active sync? Sometimes when i plug my usb to my computer it does not pick up my atom. The green active sync logo just keeps on spinning and says that it's connecting...but never does! Please help! Thanks,

  • Steve, Yep it's free and it's imperative that you do so. It makes the Atom a whole new machine of sweet goodness.

  • hey can anybody tell me whether it is free to upgrade the rom on the O2 website. thankyou very much in advance.

  • OK my ringer is decent - well at least almost as good as my original Pure. I should note that O2 Support has been quite helpful, but they say they'd need to look at the unit to se if there is aproblem. I am heading home to the US in two weeks, so this is not an option for me. Has anyone retrofitted new speakers to the unit? I've seen people do this on similar products. Of course you'd have to be brave enough to break through the tiny "void" stickers over the screws.

  • i'd like to keep my sms but don't know how, anyone can help?

  • i used mini for abt 6 months n i really liked it a lot.was longing 2 get atom when it was announced but not fully satisfied with it after its purchase.had so many problems, which is being sorted out one by one.now whenever i turn my screen on i hear a high frequencu noise, which is annoying during a call.am highly dissatisfied.it would b of gr8 help if someone could help me in fixing this up.i tried upgrading my ROM n i lost my warranty as well. 10x.

  • Do soft reset (using stylus in hole at bottom) then press the red or green phone key or both maybe - whilst this is happening it will gie you a menu and ask are you sure... doing this puts it back to factory state (apart from ROM upgrade)

  • guys how will i reformat my phone? coz im having a problem on my phone so i wana reformat it completely. tanxs

  • xbackup is a necessity not an option. It is inconsiderate and shameful that O2 did not include it in the Atom.

  • rom is available from O2 website. www.o2.com

  • Where can I get the latest ROM for O2 Atom. Kindly reply and many thanks in advance. Raphael

  • OK I have a complaint. On my Pure the sound out of the speakers was very low and not great, but OK. I was able to get an acceptable ring using MP3s as ring tones. But on this machine the sound from any of the speakers is just TERRIBLE! I am running the latest firmware, though I suspect this is an older machine seeing as how I got it in China. There is significant distortion with any ring, and even in vibrate mode. It is embarrassing. Not that I would do this, but listening to music through the loudspeaker is impossible. So is there a fix to this?

  • Got it working. Sometimes I think it's best to walk away for a while. :) I did not see proxy boxes for GPS, but I changes my authentication method. I think what triggered it was I stumbled upon a connection/network setting that was not defaulted to my Home network. Now all is well. Just have to figure out how to install the T9 .cab. Thanks!

  • You should not have proxy setup if you dont need one on your normal PC on the same wifi network. Make sure that you have the proxy boxes unchecked on the GPRS network settings - for some reason my wifi will try to use my gprs proxy settings if the box is checked.

  • Can someone tell me how to set my network connection to get to the Internet? I have my wifi connected to a wifi router and can ping the machines on my network no problem, but when I try to connect to any Internet service it says "cannot Connect with Yout Current network settings" or something like that. Am I supposed to have a Proxy server set up? Doesn't make sense to me. Thanks, Tim

  • It might be helpful if the people who have problems with the Atom state whether or not they have upgraded the ROM to the latest version (I suspect that they have not). I heard all of this stuff ages ago and nearly didnt buy the atom because of it, but I paid carefull attention to those that did upgrade the ROM and they all seemed positive about the Atom. So I bought it and upgraded straight away. I have upgraded the ROM whenever a new one came out and all is well with mine. It does everything just fine, speedy, camera works (just not useful for action shots). I do agree that the headphones are crap though. Also check out the latest version called the exec if you are buying from new, it is meant to be a slight improvement based on more RAM and faster CPU.

  • i've been using atom for the past 2 weeks and so far i love it.my dealer had already installed most of the applications. but i kinda need t9 phonepad. so can somebody pls send the installer to my email address [email protected]. thanx in advance.

  • Hi All, Can i get a serial number for Spb Finance version: 2.5.0 thanks Cheers

  • i'm still considering to buy this atom still.. well cause i do hav a very bad experience on o2 machines, frm the 1st xda 2 , xda 2 s , now xda 2 mini is the only lucky wan that do not hav any probs like , hang , speaker problem and etc, which i would like ask every1's advice bout this.. i'm not willing to spend on this gadget if there is any prob , thx =)

  • Hi to all the Atom users, I'd just like thank everyone for all their emails about questions or request on the Atom. It was very nice of all of you to come to me for help. I feel so helpful :) I hope everybody got what they needed from me. If anyone of you ever need any advice or help for your Atom, please do not hesitate to email me @ wilson(dot)li(dot)888(at)gmail(dot)com Because of my busy schedule, I don't have as much time to write postings here as I used to. But rest assure that your emails will be replied asap. Thanks for the heart warming email Tim. Best regards, Will

  • hi sia, i shall just check and get back. my email is ilyaselec(at)hotmail.

  • Agree Tim... The O2 Atom before Rom Upgrade = Awful After Rom UPgrade = Very Very good machine. I did have to buy PhoneAlarm Lite to sort out loud ring tone/msg alerts, and I have some trouble hearing calls from speaker but that might be me being a bit deaf. The t9Phonepad hack is a great addition too. The earpiece is a joke its not usable so budget to buy yourself a bluetooth headset and a few bucks for some extra utility s/w.

  • Wow so much negativ comments about the Atom. Almost like some competitor is posting to discredit the product! FYI I bought my first Atom Pure and LOVED it. It had the latest firmware already installed so it was user friendly out of the box. Then i added a bunch of stuff and it was a great tool and entertainment product. Then I lost it! And yesterday I bought ANOTHER one. It was actually a Chinese version but the guy changed it to English. I had to upgrade the ROM though, and now everything is fine. I just need to add all the games and stuff again. The phone takes some work if you are not used to Mindows Mobile or computers in genral - as do all PocketPC machines. This is my first and I give it a 9 out of 10. Tim

  • Do not buy this phone. the first one packed up on arrival. Dropped calls, camera did not work etc. Received a new one after one week. Same problems . No download connect, calls dropped againLCD screen crumbled, camera would not work, battery went out fast. They are currently repairing the second one, its been two months.

  • His elvis thank you for ur help. where do i download the sprite backup software? is it a freeware ? what do u thing of spb backup? someone suggested it to me. thank u Ilyas Sia

  • hi sia, there is a software available called sprite backup. it is amazing. u back up ur phone onto the sd or mini sd card. it takes about 7-10 mind for a full backup. it backs up the whole damn phone including ur msg, wallpaper ect. when u restore, it is exactly how u backed up. also has automatic backup options of time or battery life. i am using it for 2 years and it is great cheers ilyas

  • you all should upgrade the new rom befor complain about the atom. i have the phone for 6 months and never have any problem. Yes, at the start. it were running slow and crab. it fine now after the may rom. For media player. i find the later Beta player (0.71) run very good. Search in google. it's free to download.

  • I bought this o2 phone last month 1.camera is not so fast,the flash light glows and doesnot stop, then I have to remove the battery then switch it on. 2.I copied few video songs & clips few songs hangup & few donot open atall. 3.When I set radio there is lot of disturbances while hearing. 4.I am having an adress software which is 26Mb but when I went to install from my laptop it asked for destination but I didnot find mobile device,then I copied the whole software file & pasted in 02 atom cell it didnot work. dear o2 atom users, if you know how to rectify these problems please e-mail me.

  • You are right ..... the phone when back almost immediately few days after payment and took me almost one month to get it fixed...ultmately new replacement.... now.... after few ROM upgrade (latest).....is like gambling to open a video files that is more than 10M.... sometimes it open but sometimes just failed....

  • pls dont buy this phone. i got this phone and used it for only 3 days and i gave it back. it is very slow, the speaker is crap. it hangs a lot. and the battery drains out very fast. pls dont buy this phone , save some money. and u cant even show off properly with this phone.

  • Hi everyone I just bought the atom, I need to know if,I can use the same ARM cabs ,for my Imate pocketpc, on the atom xda? If not what version of the cabs is used for this device? and how do I backup this phone? there are no options on the phone itself like Imate and none on the activesync so how do I back my phone up? or this phone doesn't need backup even if the battery runs out? I thank u for any suggestions u may have for me.

  • This phone is an ABSOLUTE LEMON! Speakerphone is woeful Program response lags like a fat slug Dodgy rom patch upgrades required Crap after sales service My phone had an ELF malfunction within 30days of purchase and I have had no end of dramas trying to get O2 to accept liability and replace the phone! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!

  • Will the best!!!

  • hi friends i recently transferred series60 games via bluetooth through a sony erricson k750i phone but these games do not work and are stord in JAVA so can anybody let me no how can i play these games

  • Sofia, To install softwares in your Atom. You will need to have your Atom connected via USB on your PC. You can find lots of games and software on the internet. You have to pay for most of the games & softwares. However, I have posted close 20 serial numbers related to the different softwares available. You may find them in this forum if you look at the past month or two's postings. As for pictures. You may open Activesync > explore > my device, then drag and drop and photos you want and Activesync will do the rest. If you or any Atom users have any questions about the Atom, please feel free to email me @ wilson.li.888(at)gmail(dot)com and I'll reply asap. I don't post as much in this forum as I used to because I'm so busy now =) Cheers, Will

  • Although the Atom is an excellant phone/PDA be aware the screen is extremely fragile and a drop from less then a metre will be enough to crack the screen and leave you with a $300+ repair bill. If you are considering buying an Atom either take out insurance or buy a very well padded case. Also - any minor impact to the side of the phone will stress the unprotected LCD glass and may crack it.

  • Hi, Ishyboy I use Atom but not the Executive. I don't know about the others' but my battery would only last for 2 days. I hardly use the Wi-Fi and phone. And when I use it for calls, the unit really gets hot. I don't use the Music Player either coz the audio is very, very soft. I can't even tune in to FM.

  • Hey guys, I bought my atom on the 27th Jan 2006. Upgraded to the latest software then. It work well initially then annoying problems came up once in a while. But after the recent major upgrade in June, my atom works perfectly! Love it the first time i bought it, had minor arguments with it but after further counselling, our relationship is on a cruise for our second honeymoon! ;) BTW, can we really upgrade to the atom exec specs? Please do tell more.... TQ

  • Please Please HELP HELP hi I M Using Atom Since 4 Month I have No Problem With This BUt i m Finding problem in this time that ATOM is going So Hot When I Use And 2Nd Problem Is That My Left Side Speaker Is Because Of Hot

  • Hammer, Yes there are a lot of suspect places near the Railway station. If you could send me the contact for where you bought yours it would be great. I kinda want an Atom Exec now though, even though I don't "need" that model. I got my I-tech at Metro City in XujiaHui. If you email me I can check the receipt tomorrow from work (I don't bring those home!) and tell you the name of the place and the price. They are everywhere though. Just make sure to get the R-35 model and not the S-38 or any other one. Tim

  • Hammer, I posted a while ago to sing the praises of the I-tech R35. It is a BT clip that lets you plug in your favorite 3.5mm earbuds/headphones. You just clip it to your shirt pocket or whatever. It also controls the music functions on the Atom which is cool. Did you buy your Atom in Shanghai? If so where? I lost mine and need another, but the prices are very high here. I originally got mine in HK

  • why my mp3 sound quality is very very bad there is a lot of distortion noises how to fix it? update the firmware? please help me ... thx

  • There is no Lotus Notes synch platform with WM5 because Microsoft totally re-wrote the ActiveSync base for WM5 - so developers had to re-write all the Lotus s/w to work. You can use Websphere Everyplace Client but it requires server-side installation... your IT team are unlikely to want to play. There is a plug in from MS to let you see Lotus mail /diary through Outlook - maybe you could do that and synch to outlook locally.

  • Pls let me know if any one have link to download software synchronize with Lotus Notes

  • dc18 there is a way, just send me an e-mail to [email protected] ans ill send you the software for the ba tery thing, ive tried to get the wireles icon below, but found that its not that good, takes up a lot of space

  • Hi Big C, How to move the Wireless Manager Icon to the bottom screen? is there anyway to remove the battery indicator on the top? Tks.

  • By the way, does anyone have the serials for the new spb time? thanx

  • Hey guys I have some new cool things. the new rom takes away the clock on the top line and replaces it with a batery check, you can change that, also place on the bottom of your screen the wireless management icon like on minis let me know if ur interested, ill be happy to share!

  • hi will, please lemme know out of jamin and atom which one do you suggest is better, please reply me asap as i av to buy it in a day. regards

  • i am from brunei...i do like O2 atom very2 much..last week i check the price here is ard B$1298...is tat too expensive?i guess is much cheaper in singapore rite? anybody can help me?thanks

  • Annie, It is a little annoying. The "power" button only puts the unit in sleep mode. To completely power it off you have to go to your USB, WiFi, and Phone page. I forget what this is called but if you just click USB or WiFi from your Today screen you will see it. Turn the Phone to Off as well as the other connections. Then when you hit the power button the Atom is truly off Guy in the US looking for an Atom. I'd go eBay or wait for the HP iPaq RW6828 if you need local support. Tim

  • gtr32, Where are you located? If local to Shanghai I'd be happy to take that piece of crap off you r hands. Of course I need to know if you've tried the really annoying and almost impossible firmware update. Tim

  • HI, Please also send me the link for T9 and oblige. My email address is [email protected]. If anyone is aware of some software to sync the SD card of O2 Atom easily please do give me. Also if someone has a solution to use Bluetooth and yet save battery. As, if we use bluetooth headset then the battery wears of totally in 8 hours

  • Hi Will, Kindly provide the link to download the phonepad t9. My Email is [email protected] Tank you very much.

  • This is my first pda type phone and not quite sure if im turning off my xda atom correctly. While the phone is on, and If i press the power button once, should it switch the phone off completely or just in sleep mode?

  • hey WILL, steven here,could u please go ahead and send me the link for T9phone pad if u dont mind PLEASE, THANK YOU very much in advance my email id:[email protected]

  • how can i setup my gprs on my phone here in the usa. i'm using tmobile and i can went to start, then programs, and then to auto config but i don't see any options where i can click on usa as the country

  • This phone sucks, it still does not charge properly using the usb car charger, still you have to rest it when you loose signal. so if you got to make a call when you lost signal prepare to wait 5mins for the phone to reboot before you make a call, thats really stupid. SE p990 is going to be much better than this crap. I am going to sell mine on ebay and get what i can.

  • O2 Atom EXEC is announced...it has the better processor than this one it is 520Mhz instaed of 412 and i think it is equiped the the software that qtek 9600 has. it will be launched at the end of july or maybe inbetween.

  • hi Will, I would love to get a copy of the T9 software too If you don't mind. My email is [email protected] please send asap regards

  • are there any problems in using the o2 atom. does it work properly. someone pls tell me. cheers, yogesh

  • Re: Scratches.. I didnt pay for my phone, its a work phone, so I dont really take care of it... Ive had it 3mths and no scratches on the case. It travels all over place with me all over asia on planes etc chucked into briefcase - its pretty good and looks new still.

  • Hi, has anyone had issues with regards to scratches on the phone due to usage without a proper cover? I reckon the body is made out of plastic...and not metal like the O2 Mini.

  • O2 Atom is super! After receiving the T9 Phonepad from Mr. Will, it's awesome!! Still waiting for the next one and hopes that it will be 3G.. Many thanks to you Will!! =)

  • 3gp conversion Hey guys, you can use a software called imtoo mpeg encoder. it encodes most audio and video formats into 3gp and the other way around too.

  • should i buy 02 atom. are ther any problems in the phone. does it hang or freez. cheers, yogesh

  • is any 1 having any problems with the speaker of the phone or any other kind of problems.

  • HOLD YOUR PURCHASES!! I just brought my O2 Atom, and it is giving out this very high frequency static noise coming out from top part of the phone as soon as the screen is turned on. I later found out that this happens to some of the Atom, and O2 does not consider this is a fault and will not exchange/fix it!! I will escalate this with O2 and see what happen next. Will keep u posted.

  • Hold On for everyone who wants to buy XDA Atom... O2 will launch XDA Atom Exec with Intel Processor 520 MHz and upgrade 192 ROM Hurray.. more faster, more exciting.. more info:

  • Hey guys! does anyone have the key for spb time the new one that came out? thanx

  • hi, you can buy the 2.5mm 3.5 adapter from jaycar electronic. cheers,

  • I bought this phone in Dec 2005 when it was launched. It had a lot of problems in the first but after i updated the latest rom. It works beautifully. This phone has it all, Looks, performance, features. Only be carefull not to install anything on the main memmory but instead install it on the card memory.

  • Hi will will u also send me the link to download the software for t9. My mail id is [email protected]

  • hi will, do you have the serial of spd time? the new version? tanxs

  • Dana: You just need a 2.5MM to 3.5MM adapter. Should be able to find one anywhere they sell headphones. In Shanghai mine cost 5 RMB. About BT: The Atom supports A2DP for stereo sound, as well as AVCRP for remote control and voice. Just make sure you get a headset with both of these features. I personally tried the iPhono (sorry forgot model#) that clips on your ear. I returned them and got the ravely review I-tech R35 clip. With this you can use whatever headphones you like and remotely control your unit. I love it. I MISS MY ATOM!

  • According to O2 wbesite if you have Bluetooth headset with A2DP profile capability it will play music from atom - so that is hte key thing I believe.

  • Ben, I got your SPB GPRS monitor serial: 92735145. It is tested and it works. Cheers, Will

  • Hammer, I'm using the Mot. H3 and it is working fine. To answer your question, yes, you can listen to music with a set of bluetooth earphones but not the bluetooth headset. You basically pair both devices together and it'll do the rest. Cheers, Will

  • hi will, i did figure out already how to use my phonepad i only reboot my phone n its good to go. but i got 1 question wat bluetooth headset is good for our atom? recomended. n can i play my mp3 using my bt headset? n how does it works? tanxs will

  • Very nice Piece... Thanx a lot mates...i read your recomendations and bought this ... Thanx GSMAREANA...

  • Ben, I don't have teh serial for SPB GPRS monitor as it should be factory installed on your Atom. I have no clue why you would need it again. But in any case, if you do, I can always try to find it but it'll take some time for me to crack it. Cheers, Will

  • hi Will, do you have serial no. for spb gprs monitor thanks in advance

  • how to use stereo 3.5" headset??? bacause the original headset is not to good the "BASS" isn't there :( :(

Make sure you open the 'readme' file before you install and read the instructions. Cheers, Will

  • Hi I am planning to buy a pda phone.I was very impressed with the O2 atom except for on concern relating to mms support in india. A friend of mine bought the atom about 6 months ago.He has updated to the latest ROM.But he is not able to send mms.He has an airtel connection and the settings which he received from airtel for his mms doesn't seem to work.he is not able to send mms messages.on enquiry with Airtel he has been told that his phone(o2 atom) supports a different version of mms and due to incompatibility with the mms service provided by airtel, he is not able to send mms or receive mms. please advice.has anyone else faced this problem and solved it ?.can the mms settings be configures manually.(GPRS works on the phone). Regards DR

  • John, Your serial doesn't work. Try another one. Thanks ANUP, There aren't any glitches after you upgraded to the latest software. Enjoy your Atom! Raphael, There is a program that could do what you're looking for. I can't recall the name for it. But some users have spoken about it recently in the posts here. Look it up in the past couple of months. You should be able to find something about it. Good luck! Sammy, I'm very happy to know that you like your Atom. I have posted a lot of software serials for you to install on your Atom for free. Just look it up a couple of previous posts and you'll find them. Enjoy them! TimB, LOL! Kazaam, Hardware speaking, Atom in black or white are identical. But the white one is already loaded w/ the latest ROM. Cheers! And at last but not the least... Hammer, Serials: SPB Full screen keyboard: 45436801 SPB Imageer: 21428451 Any questions? Post it here and I'll try my best to answer them! Best regards, Will

  • Is there anything different between the Black Atom and the White Atom? Any improve hardware or anything? or just black and white? Should I get black or white? After you updated to the latest firmware 20060426BWWE something, doesn it run smoothly now?

  • Raphael, " My wife is having trouble writing/sending SMS messages while driving." Are you serious? Please tell me where you live and describe your wife's vehicle. It is highly important to me that I NOT be on the road with her while she is driving and sending text messages! Please tell her to consider the voice activated BT function for making calls if she must!

  • Hey guys! Can anyone halp me fing a new skin for my phone? not for the outsyde, for the today screen, that also expands to the phone settings and all menus. Ps. other than the cool software Will has halped os with (thanx will) is there anything out there? thanx guys!

  • Greg, I don't have it. The new update was released less than a week ago. Once I get the crack, I'll post it here. Jason, You can edit Excel files on your Atom. I do it everyday for my work. Cheers, Will

  • Hi friends can somebody let me know whether or not we can play the video on windows media on the full screes,so that it covers the whole screen

  • can you edit the excel file on the phone itself?

  • hi Will, do you have serial number for new update for spb time. thanks in advance... greg

  • Hammer, You can save anything onto the memory card. In fact, I saved everything onto it and it is running smoothly. No problems whatsoever. Cheers, Will

  • Hi Has anyone got a solution to sync the SD card data without dragging and dropping everytime. Which is the best software like Worldmate but uses less space is there a crack available for that software anywhere. Thanks in advance for the support.

  • Hi, I find that the Atom is good but not like the Mini. The battery last's lesser time than the mini though I have the same usage and the same application. I also find that the phone hangs a lot and needs to be reset many time. This all after applying the latest update upto May2006. The new Activesync 4.1 is also less user friendly. In 3.8 we could sync selective contacts, and also files to the SD card but this activesync is useless. You have to do it all manually. I have tired contacting O2 Guys but they seem to be helpless with Microsoft not supporting them

  • will, got question can i save all my aplication im my memory card? coz my device memory is low already? thank you will for all the guides..

  • Raman, There's no way to configure your Activesync to sync all your files from your memory card. You gotta drag & drop your files from pc to Atom or the other way around for updates. There's no other way around as far as I know. That's what I've been doing. If anyone has a better way, please share it w/ us. Thanks -Will

  • Hammer, Make sure your Atom is connected to your pc before you do this. Go to this link & click download (not download cab): Then when the download box pops up, you click run. When download is over, you accept the terms & condi... and you click 'Install registered version' & you punch in this serial: 30372645 Then Activesync will do the rest. All you'll have left to do is go through the installation process on your Atom, which is quite simple. Cheers, Will

  • guys i would like to ask how can i download spb pocket plus? coz wat i did is i download it from my desktop n copy paste to my pocket pc? it says "the apilication is not compatible? and one more thing what should i download d CABdownload or the download botton only? hope u guys can help me one this. tankxs

  • Thanks 4mDi for the reply. Also, how can we congigure ActiveSync to sync the folders in the memory cards?

  • i am using this ato from last 5 days , earlier i was using imate jam in , i am not satisfied with the performance of this handset if i compare it with my old phone this is 10 % of the performance camera is slow , processing is slow , voice quality is bad , a humming sound is comming from speaker which irritates a lot , lot of hange problems , i recomend to buy jamin if opetion given to all persons who are plannig to buy

  • I had placed the order for this phone and then just a few hours later stumbled across this news that an upgraded version, the XDA Atom Exec, would be available in July. Luckily I was able to cancel my old order and will be waiting for Atom Exec. It'll have a faster CPU (520 mhz) and more ROM (192 mb). Just wanted to pass on this info to any other potential buyers:

  • gtr32, Buddy, if you still have the ROM patch from January. Then, don't sit on your butt wondering why you got some many problems w/ your Atom. The last update for your phone came out in May, which makes you five months late. Ask any Atom user in this forum that had the latest ROM installed if they are facing any of the problems you're confronting. And since you're too lame to register on O2 to find out about the latest. Then, obviously you wouldn't know about it, would you? All this to say, users like you are pissed off about your phone because you don't seek for any means to make it better and then come to forums like this to b*tch about it and spoil people's fun or potential Atom users. I feel sorry for people like you. Get a life.

  • IMO Atom sux, i just cam back to see what people are saying about it and guys the ph been out since Jan 06 so 6mths later there are still problems. And if there is a new rom update don't thank O2 you fools they just get it from the same company that makes similar version for other mobile ph companies. Any one seen the new HP yes its the same as Atom. Any way if anyone can prove the new rom charges the Atom while it is turned on with a usb car charger i be more than delighted to know. And if your like me and don't like to register on 02 website to get your latest Rom update check this forum link out or direct link ftp://xda:[email protected]/Atom/Shippe­d_Complete_Updates/Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426.exe

  • hi! may i know where can i get a decent movie converter 4 all my fav vcd n dvd 2 be converted n watched on e atom?

  • hi! i have used the O2 atom for about 3 months now. With the recent ROM upgrade most of the problems ( phone hanging, poor camera, voice drop etc) have been ironed out. The camera is okay, and the phone handles decently. Only problem is the voice quality, which screeches at times. I thought this was a problem only with my phone and checked out new ones at the store and found that all 02 atom phones had the same shrill voice quality. so I wouldnt recommend this for people with sensitive ears. 2) Also if you talk longer than 15 minutes on a call, the phone heats up and u can feel the heat in your cheek for quite some time after that. I also have an Imate pocketpc and by far nothing can beat its voice quality or the fact that it never gets hot. Cheers! rick.

  • Atom is really cool after the ROM upgrade. It's faster, smoother and all the other lackings are gone. But did anyone check the USB modem conectivity issue? Atom didn't come with USBModem_dialer and I have tired all possible ways(that i could think of and searched out) to connect. it just dosen't work. i'm pretty sure that it's not the hardware issue, may be the driver is needed. if anyone has any idea of where i can download is plz lemme know. Enjoy

  • To Raman This means the screen is capable of showing 256k colours but windows mobile restricts it to 65k colours.

  • O2 atom really rocks, luv it, btw thanks will for the cracks, i luv d sowtwares and d games more power to u will!! keep on cracking!! u rock!! More power to O2..

  • and one more thing how can i use mp3 for my ringtone n sms tone? hows d setup for that? because wenever i wana use mp3 from memory card the phone will have to transfer to device memory which is already low. can it be directly to memory card?

  • hi will, is there a way that whenever i recieve, download, or install something it will automaticaly save in my memory card? and how will i do that? because wen ever il send via bluetooth to my phone i have to transfer from device memory to memcard memory tank you

  • i just get it 1 weeks ago... but i find out that while the battery life still 20% remain... when i recieved a call, it wil automatically restart....

  • Easy to use and user friendly softwares. I have been experiencing a problem with the Camera though. I cannot get cam to work. the biggest problem with the PDA is the cam.

  • I love u O2 for this one

  • The Atom screen is defined as '256K colors (65K effective)'. Can anybody explain what this means, is the screen 256ZK or 65K?

  • Hi XDA atom users, could you please let me know how is the audio quality in the device?

  • My O2 had an Audio problem. Mainly the speakers gave up after only 5 weeks of use producing crackling noise. I live in Perth Western Australia and had to call O2 support. I was told it is no longer a DOA and that I have to send it to Queensland (Eastern State) for Repair. It took 4 days to arrive, 3 days for them to open the package, 10 days waiting for parts and another 4 days to be sent back. I am talking working days here people. I have been without my expensive PDA for a Month+. The PDA will be delivered next Monday. If that unit is not fixed correctly I will lose the plot. I have to add that the service company do not answer the phone. They also sent me back very little information via Email after I sent them about 5 of them. Well, all I have to say, O2 should ashamed of this product and service and I will never buy an O2 ever again.

  • i had this atom right from the first ROM and have upgraded to the latest, ive been happy with it esp since dled the latest ROM. im a software freak so until today i have more than 40 softwares installed in my 2gb mini sd, nothing has gone wrong whatsoever. FYI wisbar advance2 is now can be used on Atom!!!! it makes my atom looks hell nicer!!! if ur a type person who like to put everything (i mean EVERYTHING)in one very compact device CHOOSE ATOM!! btw to Z: u dun have to put ur MP3 or wma or wav on ur main memory to be enabled as a ringtone coz too much files in the main memory will slow down ur atom, just save them in ur memory card but DONT save them inside any folder, leave it outside, then when u go to 'Setting - phone' u'll see all ur mp3s under ringtone. or if u want to make it easier just buy Ringo Goodluck dude

  • To the anonymous user, If you experience problems w/ your speakers. Perhaps, you should try using the equalizer in your Atom. Go to program > Equalizer. Turn it on. You can custom it or use one of many preconfigured settings available. Hope this will solve your problem. TC, - Will

  • Regret, I regret to hear that your experience w/ the Atom went sour. I went through the same problems your encountering as we speak. But I firmly believe that you problem can be fixed by upgrading your phone to the latest ROM available @ the O2 software website support. As far as I know, no one has had any problem of your nature ever since the upgrade was properly installed. Perhpas, you should upgrade your phone ASAP to avoid any further frustration w/ the mighty Atom. Here's the link to do your upgrade: P.S. Please back up all your files before you do the upgrade or else you will loose everything. Cheers, -Will

  • Hammer, I think the problem is your actual phone itself. Probably the hole where you insert the stylus is slightly too big. To be perfectly honest w/ you, I would strongly suggest you go back where you bought your phone and see if a technician can fix your problem. I know it may be a hassle, but it is worth a trip. Don't try to fix it yourself 'cause you might make it worse. And FYI, I haven'tencounter that problem yet. But I do have another problem, which is the back cover of my battery that is slightly loose. But I fixed that problem already by inserting a little piece of paper between my battery and the cover and now it is ok. Good luck pal! TC, -Will

  • Hi Will, My atom has bad speaker sound, sounds like cracking alway..any suggestion. Thanks :)

  • It's a proper phone...Pretty fast...User friendly...The Look is Alright!!!Innit? Mp3 CAmera 2mp..Fast Transfer...

  • i regret bought it,often crash ....dead

  • will, thanks for the info i got one little prob now. my stylus is very lose it doesnt lock have u ever experience it? or anyone else? coz everything is doing good already except for the stylus is falling off wen i turn up side down. i wont lock. i dont wna go to the store i baught my XDA atom. like its hassle

  • Pelastic, The WLAN on the Atom is sure good. Of course, if you compare it w/ a laptop... well it's like comparing a Honda Civic w/ a Ferrari. You get the point? The WLAN on the Atom runs very smoothly for a pocket pc. But a laptop will always be on top. I hope I answered your question. TC, -Will

  • Big C, Always a pleasure! Have fun w/ your new games buddy! TC, -Will

  • Hammer, You can verify your ROM version by going into your 'settings' menu, then 'system' and 'system info'. Buttom of the page you should see your ROM version and it should be: 20060105B1WWE or 20060426B1WWE. If you got one of them, you're good to go! TC man, -Will

  • Hi , Will, need your opinion on the WLAN feature of this phone.How is it in comprison with normal laptop. thanks mate.

  • TimB, Thank you for the info. It was helpful. Please note that you could take MP3's from the card and use them as ring tones and not only WAV but MP3 and WMA as well. Best regards, Z

  • Will, thanx buddy, youalways keep ou up-to-date, the codes work great, let me know if you get the one for lemonade tycoon or bejeweled. For those tired of the same old themes on yout pda, take a look at this sight, you might find something you like. have fun!

  • Hi my name is sanjay i am using Atom As Just 3 Month So I Am Find that It Is really Sexiest,Surprising and so Brilliant,Brilliant Pocket Pc In the World Because It My Exprience I M Told U Why Because I m Using All Kind Of Like n90,n70 nokia7710,P910Etc I M also Find That There Is One Brilliant Pda From O2 Which has Winning many Award Which XDA IIs

  • thanks for that will one more thing how will i know if my phone is already updated new version rom? will it apear im my phone? n if ever wer will i go to check if its already updated? tank u guys

  • Z, If you search MP3 and Ringtone you can find your answer. The file needs to be on your machine rather than your memory card. From there in the Playlist you can "right click" (hold the stylus on it) and select Set as Ringtone. Then when you go into System/Notifications you will see it as an option for your incoming calls ringtone. Note that to set music or sounds for other notifications they need to be WAV files. Haven't bothered to try this yet, but you will need a 3rd party software to get it done.

  • Hello, Could anyone help......How to play MP3 music as rings on the atom? Please provide details......Quite appreciated.....Z

  • Anyone having problems switching BT modes? I have the I-tech R35 which allows on-the-fly answering of the phone while listening to music - - it switches back and forth with the push of a button. However, when i receive a call while listening to music, the phone does not go back to music mode. In fact, to use the BT again at all for music I have to do a soft reset. Any ideas for a better solution? Thanks, Tim

  • Kiki, I have taken some viseo to test and the performance is about the same as any other PDA, mobile phone or digital camera. IMO opinion this is an add-on "fun" feature and not suitable for "real" video recording. It will fill up your memory card and the image quality and performance will probably dissapoint. It is better to just use a real dedicated camcorder IMO. I hear a lot of the ones based on flash memory are not only compact, but affordable and perform well My 2 cents. Tim

  • hi! does any1 having problem in recording video fm e fone? i really had a bad day w e video takin. e frame rate is so sluggish... though it's set @ qvga resolution n mp4(best allowed settings) format, e taken movie is not running smoothly. can somebody help me w e problem? tx in advance 4 ur kind help.

  • I have got Atom a week ago.Its a great phonne.Now i want to know from where i can get games and applications for this phone for free.Kindly tell me the site/forum from where i can download softwares. Thanks in Advance..

  • Can any compare the processor speed and loud speakers of Atom and O2 Neo?? is O2 Neo a advanced one of Atom /? it lacks FM and Flash photo.it also uses OMAP processor of 200 Mhz only...where else Atom uses intel 400MHz ...which is better??

  • Ken, FYI you can send an SMS to multiple parties by adding the number of all recipients in the 'to' section. Obviously, you're not smart enough to realize that. Perhaps a Nokia 5190 would be more appropriate for your IQ mobile phone standards.

  • I�ve been using O2 from XDA all the way to Atom. Verdict? Atom is a disappoinment. If you have tried Mini you should know the dialer is so user friendly, when you wanna dial �Ken� you just press �536″ and selections pop-ups. In Atom? You get nothing. You received an sms and you wanna forward them to a Group. Ouch, too bad Atom forgot about this. And say you wanna create new sms to the Group, ouch, you have to select each and every one of them ONE by ONE. Too bad I�ve sold my Mini. But I guess I will not explore any other O2 product anymore, too much disappoinment.

  • San, if you're still experiencing difficulties w/ your Atom, just reinstall the LAST ROM. Do NOT reinstall all the ROM again, just the last is good enough. Good luck pal! -Will

  • Hammer, do upgrade the room, you need to have your Atom connect to your pc then, you go to the o2 website to download the new ROM. No need to go to the store. Good luck! -Will

  • To the unknown user with sync problems, To sync files from your desktop to your memory card (MiniSD). All you need to do is open your Activesync and click on explore. A window will pop up. Then you double click on 'My Windows-mobile based device'. Then look for memory card and click it. Once you're there, you will be in your SD card. All you need to do is to drag and drop any files you want to store on it. To delete any files from the memery card, simply delete the file from that window and it will be removed as well. As you as you drop a file in to your memory card, your activesync will automatically make the conversion to ensure your Atom will be able to open it or view it. Hope this helps. Cheers! -Will

  • i just got my O2 XDA ATOM a week ago..it's very great!..it has a lot of surprising features more than i thought..i'm truly happy..thanks O2!!...if ur lookin' 4d BEST pocket pc mobile phone,come&get ONE!!..

  • To Will! Hi Will... I did nothing with my Atom, but now it works fine, no more freezing, amazingly!! Probably as u said there should be software problem, en it can fix itself (don't know for sure!!??) But, some of my friend suggested that if the problem still running, should re-install its ROM from the 1st till 4th version.Is that so?? Anyway, thanks buddy for ur prayer. Now I can enjoy it again...the mighty Atom!! cheers!!! San

  • I have just bought my Atom 3 weeks ago ..and facing problems like.. can't sync my music/video/pictures files from Desktop to my mini SD card, but it works fine when i sync it to my atom main memory ?!

  • hi everyone, can anybody tell me about the music quality of atom?. i m SE p901i user, i want to upgrade my cell with SE p990i or O2 XDA ATOM. please tell me which is better?, thanks

  • Jason, Shop on eBay. You'll find whatever accessory you're looking for over there. TC man

  • thanks for the info, will and tim. do you guys know any good websites for accessories? aslo, is there any lagging problems with the phone?

  • FYI, dowloaded and running Skype no problem. I downloaded the Skype version for less than 377(?) mhz processors figuring it would be simplified and thus faster, but I really don't know if it matters. I can say that it works fine for me with no tweaking or overclocking of the CPU. I've only made one call so far (using WLAN) from China to the US, but it worked flawlessly - which is a feat considering the DSL connection in my Shanghai apartment. Tim

  • Jason, I was contemplating the N80 as well and went with the Atom. The N80 seems sexy with the 3mp camera and I now forget what else. But the price of the N80 was much higher, and it wasn't very compact - to thick for me. The deciding factor was the OS. To be honest I've tried to stay AWAY from MSFT, going with Palm and Symbian. But my las Symbian phone was so slow I hated it. It also did not have as many add-ons available. And there were no Palm form factors I liked - Treo is big and (yawn) everyone has it. So I got sucked into the machne that is Microsoft. A long diatribe I know, but this PDA phone has been smooth sailing for me thus far. Tim

  • Jason, It supports MS words, Excel, Power Point (view only), Adobe reader. This is truly an amazing device. There shouldn't any hesitation between the N80 or the Atom. Atom all the way baby! TC man

  • i know this phone has windows...does it support word or excel? i'm debating whether or not to get this phone or the nokia n80

  • San, Making a hard reset won't change anything to the ROM. All you need to do is to make another ROM upgrade and pray for it to work this time. If not, I found you the o2 customer service #. Perhaps that will help: 08705 678 678 7:00am - 10:00pm Monday to Friday and 8:00am - 8:00pm at weekends You got my prayers buddy. Keep us updated w/ your issue. TC man

  • To Will, Thanks for ur kind advise!!. Fyi, I haven't yet to do the hard reset to my atom, perhaps Im going to do it later. Going to O2 counter?? That's the problem as I'm staying in Cambodia, no O2 counter available here. Hope that nothing happen to my atom as I love this cute pocket PC. Just pray for me dude!!!

  • San, First, don't panic! :) This is probably a software clitch. I think that it wouldn't be a bad idea to upgrade the ROM again. However, I'm not sure if the Atom will allow you to do an upgrade again since the lastest patch is already installed onto your device. But at this point, do you really have any other choice? Take a chance and do it again & hopefully you will have better results. If it doesn't solve the issue, I suggest you come in contact w/ O2 for some technical assistance. As far as I know, I haven't encounter this problem yet. Probably an isolated issue. Good luck pal. Cheers!

  • Hi to all Atom user... Need urgent help! I got my atom a month ago from Spore and I did upgrade 4th version ROM few days ago. After upgrading my atom works so great than before (camera, call). But, now I got another problem with my atom. The screen often become freeze after few minutes whenever I turn the device on. When I tap the screen, nothing happen, just freeze!!Need to perform soft resert on and on. So make me crazy!!! Is it OK if I upgrade the 4th version ROM on to my atom one more time to resolve this problem?? Will there be something happen to my atom in later?? Any good advise please??!!! Thanks for helping me!!!

  • Greg, the serial I post for SPB Arkaball only works for the 1.1 version. For Arkaball 2, I'm afraid you'll have to be patient a little before I get the crack code for it. This game was released within the last 2 months and I haven't received the serial yet. But rest assured that I'll post it asap when I get it. In the meanwhile, you can always download version 1.1 at: Have fun! Tc man

  • Kiki, I don't have the serial for SPB Bubbles for the moment because the game was released only recently and I didn't get the serial yet. But stay tuned, I will post the serial as soon as I get a hold of it. As for SPB Pocket Plus, here's the serial: 30372645. TC

  • hi WILL thanks for all the serial number you post my pda looks great but one thing did not work the serial number of arkaball II. thanks in advance.

  • hi, will! tx 4 ur great help. i mgt 2 install some free games n utilities in2 my atom pure (juz bought 5 days ago). now i'm takin serious int in 2 things: e sbp bubbles n pocket plus (mainly on e 'close all' function. pardon my abruptness if i ask do u ve serial #s 4 both of them? tx in advance 2 ur kind reply.

  • Big C, No problem man. Always happy to know that I helped another Atom user. As for themes, you can always use SPB unithemes that you can download for free at www.spbsoftwarehouse.com They've got about 10 themes that looks pretty decent. Or you can always randomly download themes of the net by searching on Google. If you find something interesting, please feel free to share w/ all of us. Tc man

  • Hey guys, i dont know about you, but ive learned a lot from Will... Will, dude, thanx 4 all the cool info on the device, its good to know that there is someone out there who knows and shares info with us! BTW: other than SPB and the games, is there any way to change the themes on the Mighty one? i cant seem to find anything fit for it or for win. 5.0. Thanx again will

  • Hi guys, still confuse to choose between XDA Atom or HP Ipaq rw 6828. In fact that i still a little bit doubt that of Atom's troubles. I heard that HP Ipaq rw 6828 is the same specification with XDA Atom with different cover and color of course.

  • Sorry, I meant the Dopod not DOP. My bad

  • As for the unknown person who asked the question about the DOP or Atom... ATOM BABY! With the lastest ROM (04.05.06) you will see a significan improvement! I couldn't possibly live w/out my Atom now! Happy shopping!

  • Angelo, Yahoo msger is not preinstall on the Atom. However you may download it here: You can also download ICQ for your Atom at: Have fun pal! A little advice, make sure you don't chat too long on your GPRS/EDGE plan or you'll have a MIGHTY surprise on your phone bill for data. :) TC man

  • Hi Will, Thanks a million...:)

  • Joe, For your problem w/ SPB Weather, you gotta make sure in your settings you set your weather source from 'GisMeteo.ru'. It will upgrade every time you sync w/ your pc automatically. If problem persist, uninstall and reinstall it. You won't need the serial # again because it will be registered already. As for checkers, yes, I do have it and I also mentioned it b4. What you need to do is to download the 'Tetris Classic Game Pack', which includes Tetris, chess, checkers... etc. You install whatever you want and to register for any of the games in the classic pack is the same serial number (36529843). Have a mighty Atom blast w/ your games! :) Tc man

  • trying to decide between the atom or the dopod 818 pro. The dopod is cheaper and I heard it was faster, but this was before the atom rom update. Anyone know which is faster and better now?

  • Hi Will, those softwares & games serial u provided were good. But the SPB Weather only works once then having problems refreshing data. U have the serial for Checkers from www.handmark.com? Appreciate your help.

  • does anyone know how to install yahoo messenger to the O2 atom...or is it installed?

  • Kiki, read the previous postings. I have posted serial # for registration for your games for free. Just browse through the postings and you'll find it. :)

  • hi! i've juz got my atom pure 2 days ago fm s'pore. is eager 2 fill up more fun features 2 my new babe! may i know besides e fav utilities, where can i get games like previous mentioned monopoly, golf, tetris, bubble puzzle (if any) etc 4 my babe? tx in advance 4 ur kind reply.

  • OK. I fixed the sound quality a bit by turning down the first three bars of the EQ a bit. HOWEVER, the noise problem must have been coming from the 2.5 - 3.5 adapter. I paired the Itech R35 and it is fairly AWESOME. Sound quality is MUCH improved with less background noise (I have to make an effort to hear it), barely audible clicking between tracks, and the beeps when you navigate the Atom are just audible enough. This was a problem with the iPhonos, which had a beep so loud that it hurt my ears. And there is less stalls in the music. Overall I'd say the Itech BT solution with your favorite headphones is the way to go. (maybe that's why there are whole threads about it on PPCSG). You don't notice the wires so much if you stuff em down your shirt, and the unit can be tucked away safely somwhere. All the controls (volume, FF, RW, phone, Play) work fine except Pause. I can live with that though. Now if anyone has tips on that golf game it'd be great!

  • Thanks guys. So today I listened to music on my player at work. I typically listen to fast/hard music at the gym or while biking to work. So I changed it up and was listening to quieter music in a quieter environment, and heard a terrible static/wind noise. It kind of sounds like someone is blowing in your ears or something. Anyone encounter this? If I'm rockin' or rappin' out, it is not an issue, but for general listening - and now because I know it's there - it is bothersome. I should also note that this is with a set of Sure E3C and a set of Audio Technica canals, so maybe they are just more sensitive than the original cheapie headphones??. Can I adjust the EQ or something to limit this noise? I've tried that and even a soft reset to kill any programs that may be interfering. Thanks

  • BTW, you should try to download O2 Plus. Great stuff & besides, it's free! You'll have to download it with your device though. I suggest you download it with WiFi 'cause if you use GPRS or EDGE, it'll cost you a fortune! ;)

  • TimB, glad you're having a great time w/ your atom and the serials i provided. ;) You should download Monopoly. It's really fun (S.: 52142652). TC Bro

  • To map BlueTooth to a hardware button look here I describe how to do it www.wormholecreations.com.au then forums, o2xda forum you will see it.

  • I should clariy, the headphones included with the unit are terrible sounding and don't fit anyone's ear well from what I read - at least not mine. The thing to do is get a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter for 5RMB (In Shanghai) anduse your favorite high quality headphones for music. Of course this means no talking, so you may want to look into other units people have recommended like the Sennheiser with built in mic. I'm hoping the BT S38 or R35 will solve this issue for me.

  • I have had my unit for about 3 weeks now and have no issues with the call quality, reception, etc. The volume on the rings is a bit low even with .mp3 ringtones, but it is OK. Camera is much better than any 1.3 megapixel and good for what it is - you need a steady hand and target because it is a bit slow. Music sound quality is pretty good with decent headphones, though not as good as my old ipod or my Archos AV500 - - there is an audible click between songs and some background noise, but it is quite fine. I bought a pair of Bluetake iPhono Mini BT headsets. Turns out I only like canal headsets because of comfort and sound quality. Overall the BT performance was OK but not great. Some skipping and I had trouble getting the music back after taking a call. ??? AND THIS IS HUGE FOR ME - Is there a way to create a shortcut to connect to the BT device automatically? As is I have to manually connect with no less than 4 taps! ??? Downloaded SBP weather which is great (thanks Will). I did not like the Diary, as it makes the Today screen look cluttered IMO and you have to use the stylus rather than the clickwheel to select stuff - meaning two hands needed. I prefer a combination of original and O2 Today setup Downloaded Tetris, Scrabble, Battleship, and Chess (thanks again Will) and they work great. Handmark Links golf game looks AWEOME and I will buy it if I can figure out how to hit the ball straight (kinda like my real golf game!). ??? Does anyone know how to control the aim/hit straight in this game? ??? OK I am off to return my iPhono BT headsets and hopefuly try the S38 or R35. Honestly i don't know if the convenience of wireless is worth giving up the sound quality and radio, but at this point I've shelled out 800RMB so oh well!

  • have huge problems with phone reception quality particuarly when I travel. > Also camera very slow. < ROM UPgrade fixes this>> Also only one ring tone on phone. > >

  • You need to upgrade the ROM. I had the same problems. But after the ROM is upgraded, all these problems are solved.

  • I need some asssitance. Have had this phone since Jan 2006. have huge problems with phone reception quality particuarly when I travel. Also camera very slow. Also only one ring tone on phone. Can one of you bright sparks tell me how to fix all of these pls....

  • Can anyone tell me how I can assign power on to another button. everytime my atom pure goes to standby mode I have to press 'power' to wake it. My mini 2 was able to wake up by assigning the 'power' for wake up by pressing 'call" button. Any help in this is appreciated. - NAD

  • Dear Kazaam Need your advise. If I use the ringtone for SMS, will the music stop if I read the message? Thanks...

  • If you want to use your own tones as a SMS tones, you have to convert it to .WAV and put it in WINDOWS folders. Or buy a program that do ringtones...

  • Yes, you can use this phone in the US, also in Venezuela, and Yes there is a 2 Giga miniSD card, and it works fine in this phone, I have one (Top Ram) bought from Amazon

  • Are O2 phones compatible in the United States?

  • does anyone encountered any problem syn from Window media (musics/video) to Memory Card ? I have tried and received error message like " window media player unable to play the files..." But if I syn it to my O2 device under Music or Video it's seems fine ?? Any suggestions ? other then changing Memory Card :) ? Thanks

  • One more question - I promise to reciprocate as I become more learned! On O2 Media Plus, "My Pictures" and "My Videos" show files like Application Data, Documents and Settings, etc. All my media is stored on the memory card. Is there a way to get rid of all these misplaced files (though it seems deleting would not be a good idea) and mapping the correct media to O2? The My Music works fine for some reason. Thanks

  • OK a few questions. I am now starting to USE my phone. 1. Memory is getting low. How do I move rarely used things like Powerpoint and such to the card and off the main memory? 2. Related - I put too many MP3 ringtones in thinking I could use them for Instant Messages, Voice mail, etc but I can't. (Kinda sucks). How do I remove the ones I don't want? Note all my music is on the memory card. 3. I will do a search, but isn't there a certain 2Gig card people are using? If not will pretty much any 1 gig card work? Note: For those who haven't tried O2 Connect from their phone check it out. There is great info and the O2 tool is cool. For some reason I can't access the recommended links from my Atom though.

  • haha... wif the latest rom.. tis phone is superior... its camera improve a lot.. damn nice now.. wont regret to hav tis atom~

  • DO INSTALL O2 PLUS. This app from O2 has nearly covered all the missing points to really make this a great phone. You will get shortcuts, view running apps, a CLOSE ALL button and much more!!! Download from O2 Connect.

  • To Raman: I believe the 'X' and 'OK' to be the same. Normally one would expect 'OK' means to confirm and 'X' means to close, however, I have found that when changes are made in applications that display the 'X', the changes take effect even when closing the applications by clicking on the 'X' Hope this helps

  • Great phone. Just love it. Question: When launched, some app's show a 'ok' on the top right corner and some show a 'X'. What's is the difference between hitting 'ok' or 'x'?

  • Hi all, i got 2 questions. with the new rom update can you recharge your atom in the car using the car charger so it actually charges and battery back to full. Second question when you walk into no signal areas for 10 mins and then walk out side to signal areas does it pick up signal and can you recieve and make a call without reseting the atom. The reason i ask is i use to have an atom and there where countless problems and these two where a major problem for me to drop it and buy a new phone (samsung z510) and i still got the atom but if these two problem still exist i am going to give it away. you see i use the atom with tomtom and i could not charge it in the car it just would not accept the charge while on how stupid is that. and i work in a building so when i walk out i can't make calls unless i reset it with the stylus. Those two issues drived me nuts. thanks if you got the time to answer me back.

  • to timb, The radio does not work with bluetooth. You can only use the bluetooth with mp3 or other media file. You can get stereo bluetooth headset. it sound great. Don't forget to upgrade to the lates rom (4th may. the new rom is good. cheers,

  • Finally got myself an O2 Atom last 25th May & I'm loving it. My only concern is the SMS alert tone which comes too soft. And I could use mp3 songs as my ringing tone but not for sms. Could you guys, please advise on this? Thanks! One more thing, the camera.. coz the pic resolution isn't that clear.
