Blue Angel wm5.0 working faster than ever...try this

Since i am relatively new to ppcs, i read almost all the forums to upgrade my BA to wm5.0
the first try, it was so slow, i tried the overclock software, pocket hack master and more, it still had ten second pauses when turning on or waking up. plus the phone was lagging, (slow)
I dont know but i stumbled on this by mistake,
Warning: Backup all data on your device to your computer..
(make a backup compy of all your data on computer)
1) all i did was the following press: (camers + record+ reset "hold untill options appears") then wait until some options appear on the screen, (three options with Yes/No options) I did the same as before, leave the first as No, the last two as Yes, then press the e (internet key), it will reset itself, this takes about 5 secs, this wipe my phone clean, every installed program was gone, brand new....
point1-> do not copy old backup folders to ur device, make only one new directory in my documents (i called mine Files) and place all your files and sub-folders in there.
Note: you will still have the folders, business, personal and my pictures
plus couple others
point2-.just like a PC using MS software, the OS looks for all directories before making next steps.. for example: if you open my documents on the Pc and my documents have a lot of directories/folders and files, the OS will locate all the folders and files before actually shoing a picture in my documents.
The ppc does the same, the less folders you make the better, the faster it runs, the amount of files doesnt matter, the OS keeps special tags on folders and these takes time to read, (NO, the OS doesnt check for sud-folders unless the folder it is contained in is beeing opened)
having less folders increases the speed on the device.
2) then i installed the camera patch, then the album patch to go with it
3) i then installed the keboard patch, you need this..
4) i did not install the fix buttons patch (This is what i think slows down the BA) forgive me if i am wrong, but i leave things as is.
5) i placed all the missing apps in programs, so i can use them just as wn2003
6) i installed all my programs
skyforce 1
spb pocket plus
quickverse bible
adobe reader
photo viewer
7) i then set up my internet connections for att
8) i turn on button lock
9) i turned off all sounds
then i reset...
thats all i did, now my ppc is fast, i am not even using pocket hack master, i didnt even install it (the truth is that i forgot, i didnt see the 10 sec pauses anymore, i power off the device for two hours, power on, no pauses.
a) phone perfect
b) camera perfect
c) backlights perfect
d) keyboard perfect
e) games run fast without a glitch
I dont know what happened, i cant explain it, maybe this is just by luck or by chance, but evrything works well and now for two days works better and faster than ever before.
try, maybe this works for you.
thanks to all the programmers that made this possible, i couldnt have gotten this far without you guys.
let me know what happened or what you think

Hey Mutty...I'm game...will give your method a try and report...you need to make a small edit... "then press the e (internet key), it will reset itself, this takes about 5 secs..." Pressing the e will not do anything, you have to actually press the envolope key.
I have a question do we have to move all the default folders (eg Personal, My Music..etc) in My Documents into one folder or just leave the default folders as is and create a new folder (eg my files) and add all future folders inside this one?

3) i then installed the keboard patch, you need this..
WHAT KEYBOARD PATCH?

Localized Keyboard cabs for different HW-Keyboard Layout...
Here on FTP...

I think it's probably the "Enable KITL = No" option that makes the difference. KITL (Kernel Independent Transport Layer) is a diagnostic mode for developers to debug their drivers and apps, so it's very likely that leaving this enabled will slow things down.
-no1

is it as fast as WM2003se?

i dont know what Kitl is, but one thing i know is that the device worked bettr than before, no pauses, even till now.. I just have to get used to having "ok" and the "windows" key set as soft keys. its kinda good though, i use them as default, for notifications and contacts. pretty cool.
You leave all default folders as is, only create one folder to store all your other files and folders.

where do you find the option to disable KITL
maybe that will ven make my device runs even much faster.
And yes its faster than 2003se... dont take my word for it though..
Try it yourselves, you will see.. even the phone works better.
1) no ten secs pauses on wakup
2) phone works better and responds better
3) I played skyforce without a glitch many times and it is a graphics driven fast pace game.

i have a keyboard patch, i dont remember where i get it from, but i think its used to turn on the backlight on the keyboard, i am not sure, but guess i just installed it

Guys just wanna ask did anyone has problem when recieving sms, backlight didn't on? just vibrate and ring (i set to vibrate and ring) but no light? anyone has the same experience?

It is suposed to be that way

oops!... :lol:

The KITL option is the first of the three options in the boot menu list - the one you said you set to "No".

well im giving yr method a go too, do you have the wifi problem?

nope, no wifi issue

Holy sh!"&%§! :shock: Do you mean that if WiFi's on when you turn off the unit (not soft reset, just suspend with the power button) WiFi will still be active when you turn the unit back on again?

wifi caused me a lot of problems. I had it on, and left it on accidentally. it went into sleep or suspend mode of course, but i thought wifi would go off as usual so i didnt check it. Ohh damn, it drained my battery dead. The worst part is that when the battery went dead, i couldnt make or recieve calls for a few minutes, then the whole thing just went dead. on reserve battery. i had to wait till i got home to recharge. half a day of my life was wasted. i depend on my phone very much.

OK, but have you tested if wifi will still be on if you turn suspend with wifi on and then powers on the PPC again? That's what I'm looking for.

holy moly, it only works some times. wifi keeps on only sometimes whaen my devise is suspended. say about 40% of the time. I DONT LIKE THIS....

That's 40 % more than most people get. It's the main problem right now, that BlueTooth and WiFi is turned off when the unit is suspended.

Better make a deep search in the hermes forum, but i think the issue is related to radio.

mmmm, interesting. I've observed the "Wakeup itself" issue with activesync push mode active, so don't think it's concern to mail only. But, as you say, in same configuration related to mail and notification about mail can be the origin.
As i use only activesync with push mail, and i also take care my tytn dosn't wakeup every time notifying me about all, my recomendation is revise the notification configuration, and take care with all the settings there.
Also take care with notifications in the system (you can view with Task Manager 2.7).
Regards.

Is it waking up from a full power down (after pressing the power button for a few seconds) or from standby (where the screen turns off but the phone is still on)?

waking up from standby mode..

I did'n use activesync (only for flashing), email,mms etc..

Hm, radio 1.40 doesn't help
maybe hardware problem ? but when I switch wireless off, all is OK

so ur saying when wireless off do u mean wifi off or phone radio off (flight mode).
i dont have an issue at all with unexpected wakeups.
try...
1 disable all sounds n notifications (not inividually but with the default setting radio box)
2 remove all today items entirely
3 remove all items in the startup (including the hidden files in rom) and put the somewhere such as temp or my docs. dont delete them.
4 turn off all alarms
5 turn off wifi
6 turn off auto beam accept
7 turn off bluetooth
8 turn off error reporting and ms auto updates and customer improvemement
9 did i miss anything if i did turn that of as well
10 turn off push email close all data connections and prevent activesync from running
soft reset the device by pressing the power button for 3 seconds and power down. wait 20 secs and power backup. bet the phone is fast now...
switch off / suspend / power off the device and see if it now wakes up.
tell the phone to turn off display after 1 min. power off after 2 min.
if it wakes up now then we have to keep looking further. it shouldnt tho. we have disabled everything.
if its ok u know it was one of the above. so now work through one after another waiting for a decent period of time after each to test and isolate the issue.
post back n let us know. if its still a problem after this i would guess its ur notifications queue that needs to be fixed... maybe with caution scary bear.

Stop power-on button returning to today screen!?!

Okay this is driving me nuts. Every time I press the power button whether to turn screen back on or to return the device from standby, it always returns to the today screen instead of the screen in which I turned off the device, I have got security on, but the timeout is 24 hours. My exchange server did set some security policy, but I can't remember if the today screen problem was there before it did this. Is this a WM6 thing, I can't remember it doing it in WM5.
Example, if I'm using memory map while I'm out on my MTB, I'll power down the screen with AEButtonPlus and then use the power button to turn it back on, which used to be ideal, but now the Power button always returns me to the today screen forcing me to use the AEBUttonPlus task manager to switch to memory map again. Not easy with gloves on :-(.
I don't think its AEButtonPlus as I used this under WM5 along with everything else.
Anyone else having this problem?

Sort of solution
After installing Zenyee.com_Stay_Unlock.zip, I was able to uncheck the previously greyed out "Prompt if device unused for" button, this has stopped it returning to the today screen, but obviously my phone is now insecure. So it would seem even if you have a 24hr timeout, the OS still goes back to the today screen, but if you disable the password completely it doesn't. Result - sort of anyway!

Maybe a silly question, but in Settings/Today, Theme tab, have you unchecked the 'Return to Today Screen after....' item?

Yeah - that was the first thing I verified - and it was already unchecked, but it looks like its down to how the password applet works rather than any kind of timeout, you can basically put it in standby and then press power on and it will return to the today screen immediately.
Thanks for the input though

Good luck!

I'm having the same issue here with WindowsMediaPlayer; when i arrive at work and toggle the screen back on (i've mapped the enter-button to screen toggle in WMP), i always have to go into taskmanager to switch back to WMP to turn the darn thing off.... really annoys the heck out of me as well....
I hope someone will find a fix for it. It seems to be a typical WM6 problem, cause this never occured on WM5, and it does occur under every WM6 version i've tried so far...
The Today applet is set to 2 hours to return to todayscreen (and it certainly ain't no 2 hour ride to my work), and security set to prompt for password after 30 mins. (The ride to work is only 15 mins)...

I got the same problem. Would you mind to tell me where can I download Zenyee.com_Stay_Unlock.zip? Thanks.

Official WM6 also suffers from this 'bug'....seems to be a WM6 'feature'....
Anyone know any registry hacks to fix this ?

My .02.
I recently hard-reset my Schap's 3.57 ROM and have installed minimal software that interact with the Today screen. Before hard-resetting the device, my system would also go to the Today screen whenever my device came out of standby. After the hard-reset, it no longer goes to the Today screen until after the timeout period defined in the Today Settings.
Before Hard-Reset on Today Screen:
Office Communicator
Windows Live Search
Activesync Exchange Server Direct Push
Palm Messaging
After Hard-Reset on Today Screen:
Palm Messaging
No Data Connection or Direct Push
Hope this helps.
Edit:
Also, make sure you remove everything from the Today screen to see if that's the issue. Then, slowly add back items.

Same problem on hx4700
Hello from the hx4700 kozhura ROM forum. Have the same problem with returning to the today screen on my 4700. Love WM6 otherwise, but this is really annoying. Hope someone finds a patch.

Try installing battery status. In the options menu, you can turmn that option "ON" or "OFF"
Bye

Thanks but that didn't work. Seems to be ok for WM5, but under WM6, nothing seems to keep it from going straight to the today screen when the power button is pressed or when the screen is toggled.

The return to the today screen after power-on the device is a known problem of Windows Mobile 6 and the password protection system.
If you want that your device doesn't returns to the today screen you should deactivate the password. Try it and tell us

i have the wm6 rom for my hx4700 and i dont have this problem. but also my device isn't password protected. funny though, the today time-out is set to 4 hours and when i turned on my device this morning from last night, it didn't return to the today screen

Thank you VivaErBetis, yes that did the trick. It works fine without password protection. It's not ideal, but I can put application passwords on my sensitive data like PocketQuicken so this is a good enough workaround until someone comes up with a patch.
Thanks for your help.
Regards.

this problem started suddenly for me when I installed FUI .. the flash user interface that makes your wm6 device like and iphone. To fix it, I had to enable the password first, then disable it. all fixed. thanks guys ... as usual.

Zenyee.com_Stay_Unlock.zip does not fix the issue. This is a password protection bug. Disable password protection and the problem goes away.

"I think he bricked his freekin' Dash!"

My Dash started acting up the other day and I am hoping someone here can help.
It is responding very slowly to most key presses, sometimes taking 5-10 minutes to, say, open a folder or bring up a settings screen. Sometimes they don't come up at all and it appears frozen, requiring a "yank the battery" reset procedure.
ActiveSync on both home and work PC's detects the device but cannot connect to it.
On bootup, the Windows Mobile splash will be displayed much longer than it used to (3 - 4 minutes) before I finally get a desktop.
The time on the main (top) sliding panel is often the last to (slowly) appear on the display when "waking up".
Email has stopped working in and out. I can receive calls, and Bluetooth is working, but often the ringer will continue for 5 -10 seconds after I answer, and transferring calls to my headset takes about 5 - 10 seconds after that.
Sometimes, settings changes won't "take" and will reset themselves back to their previous values.
Hard resets haven't helped, and nothing seems changed after them, which is odd.
The only thing I have changed recently is I installed the ODSHOW weather thing a few weeks ago (which seriously fubar'd my phone and it was all I could do to get the "normal" top panel back) as far as I know it's uninstalled now.
And all of this started happening after the battery had run completely down and the phone shut itself off. I have already tried another battery and the behavior hasn't changed.
I would love to flash it as I think the problem is the O/S is hosed, but is that possible without being able to connect to a PC through ActiveSync? Say, by copying the ROM package to the SD card and running it from there?
I am running RickyWatts/Kavana's WM 6.1 ROM, btw.
Many thanks if you have any suggestions.

Here's what you do.Turn the phone off, holding the camera button down for about 10 seconds , plug the usb cable that should give you the bootloader screen,you can get the official tmo 6.0 on there, it has to be an official rom. Once you got the phone with the 6.0 running, set up active sync and then flash which ever 6.1 rom you want. Good luck.
Here's the link for the official 6.0 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726&highlight=official+roms
Her's the 6.1 rom link. I recomend V24 w/opera http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3315417&postcount=1

Thanks rolo. Let me make sure I have this:
1) Turn off the phone while holding down the camera button for about ten seconds.
2)Release the camera button and plug in the USB cable. Bootloader screen will appear.
3) From the bootloader screen I can put the TMO ROM on.
Is that correct?
Thanks again!

No!
1. Turn off phone
2. after phone's off, press and hold the camera button.
3. after holding it for about 10 seconds, plug the usb like you're gonna use active sync.
4.That will give you the bootloader screen, and you can now install official 6.0.
5. after you got 6.0 set. set up active sync.
6. I would wait about 10 or 15 minutes, then flash 6.1

the phone should recognize the 6.0 rom update. If it doesn't, unpack it again, wait until the screen ask you if you did everything to establish connection, click next and attempt the bootloader sequence again.

ActiveSync now works, I can receive Outlook email, and have even paired up my Aliph Jawbone via Bluetooth! Thanks so much Rolo!! You rock, dude!

Yep, you need the official rom that the phone used from factory. Check for your rom on the official rom thread on the sticky. You might want to pm profezza and ask him if the O2 XDA Cosmo, Orange SPV E600 and the Rogers HTC S621 use the same rom. If they do, he has your official rom there.

as it is draining my battery life

How do your messages come through? Are they via sms? If so you can use an app called HD Tweak to wake device on new message. As for TT, perhaos invest in a car charger and then you don't have to worry about the battery.

anyone got any update on this? i believe tomtom stops working also when this screen saver kicks in please help me out
as it is draining my battery life
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I know this is not much of a solution but if you go to settings tab -- all settings (bottom left corner) and then in the middle tab (cant remember the name) --- power.
in here, go to the 3rd (last tab) and there you can disable the screen dimming and and sleep mode (first 2 options) by unchecking them

I am also using TomTom in the car at the moment and yes it does drain the battery...i think that asides from getting a car charger (they're cheap - just look for a in-car USB charger and use your USB cable), the best alternative is to let the screen dim, but NOT switch off. So let your screen turn off its backlight, and that should extend your battery life considerably.
Also, maybe try some of the solutions listed in this thread:

(i got that from a forum-wide search)
Good luck

ok guys bit more info
not worried about tomtom working whilst screen off that was just a example i gave, however my chaeffer work software does not ring/alert me when the screen is locked
now the software works via gprs and log's into my office server when they get the booking it gets logged into there system and routinly passed down to the drivers
i have a car charger but the problem is i am not in the car all the time, or near a mains supply only go to the car when booking come through
now is this a programming issue by the company i work for? if so, what could be done to correct this?
i am looking at some after market apps play around with them and see how i get on.
thanks you for all your help so far
