I had used WM 2005 for about one week and after installing on my ppc got many unpleasent problems they are :
MEMORY PROBLEM U GET PROBLEMS OF HAVING TO LOW STORAGE MEMORY INFACT U DONNOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM !!!
1.Skyscape programs donnot work
2.Pocket breeze doesnot work
3.The network connection goes on without asking for pincode
4:memory problem
5:cannot install wm2003 SE programs to wm 2005
6hone gets extremly slow
7:NO THEMES
8:very difficult to downgrad to wm 2003 SE
9: Windows media player comes back every time when a song is changed when u have windows media player runnig at TOGGLE SCREEN mode
10: NO playlist making support
11:difficult to stop the alarm once it begins to ring.
It is nice to try once but still it is in BETA version so be carefull. If u have time i mean (HOLIDAYS) then u should try it once. May be u r the lucky one with no problems... because WM 2005 has a cooool 8) 8) 8) 8) interface and graphics.
THE MOST POSITIVE THING ABOUT IT IS THE PICTURE CALLER THAT U CAN DOWNLOAD CONTACTS WITH PICTURES TROUGH OUTLOOK....[/b]
:idea: :idea: WAIT FOR A BETTER VERSION BUT TRY IF U HAVE THE TIME !!!!
I did not share those problems u had there.
Try downloading newer versions of the programs.
problems with WM 2005!
Hi Skenliv;
Thanks for responding but at first my storage is 11MB but whn i try to open STEDMANS medical dictionary it goes to 0 MB !!!!!! and that is why i downloaded the WM 2003 SE
to Mahmood my friend:
Based to my one week experienced with magneto:
1. First i thought it was slow but extremely faster than wm2k3se.
2. Of course we have 3rd party installer that set to the maximum OS wm2k3se but you can install some programs and runs smoothly.
3. Because the OS wm2k5 used the internal storage as a root directory then configure it to install all additional programs to storage card.
4. The bugs or error are minimal,eg:xback-simply can't detect internal memory if i'm not wrong, and one last thing i noticed that in one week two occurrence happened that the display can't start but the device is on, solution is to press the on/off switch 5secs.
5. NOT DIFFICULT TO DOWNGRADE, simply put the device in Bootloader Mode. I tried it to two times downgrading without problem.
6.Other thing is the camera display,now its half of the screen... i love the full screen in wm2k3se.
7.I don't see any problem with the WMPlayer or playlist from my device.
8. Ahhh...sound notification...hmmm its hang if you got a bulk sms.
BUT nevertheless its a great future OS that runs to our HIMALAYA!
Simply i am downgrading it because, i am making an ExtendedROM upgrade version link http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17410&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Camera Gone...
I tried installing another Camera App that I used on wm2k3SE with no problem, it was lovely.
However it didnt work on 2k5. Now, after uninstalling it I cant get the old camera app back!
I have desperately tried to hard reset but that doesnt work in 2k5 as everything is in flash not ram!
Do I have to re-flash the rom?
Does anybody know where the RAM has gone? It seems that its using the 32meg flash for storage/programs and not the ram. Is windows still using the ram or is my nice 128meg ram wasted totally with 2k5?
UPDATE: ok, i found the camera app is still there as well as solitaire (disapeared too!), but its shortcut is missing. Also, I cant re-assign the button to anything! I set it with the standard button config app in system settings but it doesnt work. I press and nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
the camera and the recorder button doesnt work. dunno if urs to.. the camera can be found in Pictures and Video program in >>start menu>>programs
the 128 ram in 2003 used as storage/program, and using the 32 as flash. and 14+ mb as another storage.
in 2k5 the ram is not wasted but instead swapp to the flash/storage., the 32(flash)and 14+(storage) is now combined and used as the STORAGE/PROGRAM. the 128 less some used storage for Rom Files is now the Flash, now these makes the 2k5 faster than the 2003SE. incridibly fast.. just keep ur running programs stop. since we have limited STORAGE/PROGRAM.
>>correct me guys if am wrong.
Tried many version WM6 - LVSW Edition(2007/04/08), Black Edition 2.0, Dutty's WM 6 P....
Spb shell , spb pocket plus, going connect internet(3G-HSDPA), usb sync.. live messager.. cannot power on after suspend, freeze slide keyboard !!!
So read-up on these issues and fix it. Making a thread about it will only piss people off. These are try-at-your-own-risk. Christ. I'm running Black 1.2 and love it. Yeah, ALL ROMS have some little bugs. Things happen. What did you expect?
try it without spb shell and i'm pretty all your problems will be gone.
I ran spb shell fine on xda live .20 but after a while it starts acting up and freezing, so unintsalled spb shell and everything was back to normal. Now i'm on Black Pro 2.0 and don't have anything installed except batti, resco file explorer and softick card export and no problems at all... I'm too lazy and busy to reinstall all my apps back.
I know all people working hard on the OS. Many many thanks to them. but jz want be less freeze 1-2 times a day. But mine one.. 10 times a day @@" no problem no freeze on the auk3.3.3. I'm still looking more stable wm6 willing flash and flash again.. wm5 >> wm6 >> wm5 >> wm6 >> wm5 >> wm6 >> wm5 >> wm6 >> wm5 >> wm6 >> wm5 >> wm6 ..........
The apps you're using have been known to cause problems. Uninstall all Spb software and try it then. I had a similar problem. Also, make sure if you have a Storage Card that it's not a mess. Mine was and I think some of my SR problems came from there.

Apparently batti is known to cause some issues. I was reading the WM6 forums yesterday and did see this mentioned a few times. So be careful with it too.

beside the problem "cannot power on after suspend", which sometimes happen, I have no other problems at all using black 2.0, I'm very happy with it. You can solve the suspend problem by turning off that option. I know its not the best as it won't save much batter but then everything goes fine, at least for me

So what are you asking or saying here?
Or am I missing something?
This thread does not warrant to continue its existence, Mods please delete it, this is the kind of questions that piss off everybody here, RFF (Read the Fuc..n Forum) before posting. This kind of stupid illiterate questions threatens the future of our beloved ROMs so please Mods vanish this from the forum.

Follow the steps in this guide:
http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/Downgrade/
Before you attempt any downgrade to whatever rom version, I kindly suggest you (if you haven't done yet) to give a try at the latest lvsw rom (3.24.0.4) as, at least for me, it seems more stable than the black 2.0 with all the applications I use and I've installed (and they are a bunch) and most importantly it doesnt give me anymore freezing wireless problems.
And please let know how it goes.
In different threads I see different meaning about SPB software and their performance on WM6 especially about the memory consuming.
I think it a good idea to discuss the sbp software in this thread in stead of the other treads. In the other treads this thread can be referenced when needed.
Can you reply to in this thread which SPB software you are using in WM6 without any troubled?
Thanx!
John

Yes, I use SPB Diary & SPB Backup as well. I used to have problem with the SPB Backup (v1.5) but the latest version 1.6 Built 2753 is ok, I do not have issue with Full Backup. According to the change log, this version is designed to work with WM6. So if you have problem, try using the latest version..
Any success with SPB Time anyone?
Hallo alvinlim28,
i update no the Spb backup..
no works very good.
only one thing.
The comment after the backup is
"i can not backup the file btdisk.tmp in Windows Folder.
Waht do this file? I cant delete this tmp file. Its in use.
But what kind of Programm use this file?
Remo
It's a temporary file, I'm not an expert but I doubt you'd need it.
Mem
I think its not the problem that it don't work well in the front, but the problem is the mem. leak after a couple of hours my mem. schrinks with 10 mb after a soft reset it is ok again.

Have you check the Task Manager to see if there are any 'open' program? By default WM6 does not 'close' the application rather keeps it in the background. If you have a lot of application in the background, of course this will take up memory as well.
So far I do not experience any 'out of memory' problem. To me it doesn't matter if after a few hours of usage I have less memory (it might be WM6's way of keeping some portion of the application cached in the memory for faster recall??). Memory is there to be utilized. As long as WM6 knows how to free them up when I start a big application, then I am fine.
Memory being utilized is good memory, A lot of free memory but not being utilized is not good memory. At the end of the day it's the user experience that matters. If this is WM6's way of making the whole PDA more 'responsive', I'm happy to have this than to have a machine that is sluggish with a lots of free memory.
SPB Mobile Shell leaks memory
I loose memory just when my mobile is turned on.
I give SPB MObile Shell the blame...

Sorry for double post (also in Tips & Tricks) but:
With regard to SpB Mobile Shell, it may be worth leaving it to settle down a little.
I use SpB Diary, Phone Suite and Mobile Shell.
Due to the possible memory leak, I removed Mobile Shell for 3 days, but couldn't live without its functionality.
I reinstalled it on Monday evening, at which point, Memory was 22MB. By 8am it was down to 17.5MB, so I thought 'here we go again'; however, by 11am it was back to 18.5MB, and has stayed pretty much the same since, so I'm happy!
SpB Time still wont work- seems to create 2 alarms for the same time, so one activated with no sound; shutting that activates the 2nd with sound.
Chronos works fine (and much smaller footprint, if not so nice interface)
mobile shell = working
phone suite = working
weather = working
time = working
imageer = working

Without the infamous memory-leak you mean ?
Cause i've found the leak to be not that annoying, apart from one thing i experienced yesterday: the Bluetooth of Trinity simply doesn't want to turn on if memory is below 20 Megs....

can't say i've noticed any problems with memory showing 16 meg free for programes and 36 meg free in storage' and everthing seems to be working ok maybee i don't use it with that many apps running as some of you guys but i do love this rom so if their are any quirks i'll put up with them for now..
anyone get the gprs monitor today plugin to work?
I use SPB Shell, phone, time, GPRS monitor and phone, and I didn't notice any leak... All of them are inserted into SPB Shell, and everything work fine.
ROM Aus
Mobile Shell is known to kill battery and memory, but I know they released a newer version and I haven't heard any reviews on it and if they fixed those issues.
I use SPB Weather & Full Keyboard with no issues on WM6.
I also use spb mobile shell and I usually have 21 - 22 free memory, so I don't see any leak at all
Can someone please post their registry entry for the GPRS Monitor Today plugin? I have installed GPRS Monitor, and only the actual application is working. The Today plugin is not anywhere to be seen, not even in the today item settings. I have checked the registry and there is an entry there but it doesnt seem complete.
Thanks guys.
I use spb weather myself with no probs at all. Using AX3L's rom 2.0.7
Ive had my Touch HD for about 4 months now and its starting to loose its mind. The vibration only works sometimes for a few mins and then it stops, its gone really slow and freezes aswell. I am on the verge of selling it and gettin a Blackberry or the nokia e71. Is there anyone who can change my mind and help me with the problems? It would be greatly appreciated as the first few months i thought it was the best phone i ever had!

Will this fix the vibration problem as well because I dont really wanna spend alot of time changing the rom and then I either end up with a bricked device or still have the same issue. Just on the phone to orange now see if they can exchange my handset even though i have had it for 4 months now. wish me luck...
Orange is sending me a new handset tomorrow so hopefully that will fix the problem. They have advised me not to install any 3rd party software for a few days which should not be a big problem. But i was also told that if i experience any other problems on 2 more occasions that I would be able to change my handset for another model which is good customer service
Anyway now that i AM gettin a new touch hd, can anyone of the "senior" members of this forum give me their list of programs installed which have not caused the phone to slow down? I already know of fingerkeyboard, smschat (or smiley sms) and coreplayer. But I still am in need of a good gps software and the upgrade to TF3D v2 or v3 and a gd application to tilt the screen into landscape mode. Any help is much appreciated!
I have been using my HD for a while have not flashed any new ROM's but do have quite a list of 3rd party Windows Mobile software I use on it all working nicely.
Many of my applications are not freeware though, bought over the years as I'm a long time Windows Mobile user.
In my opinion you do not need to flash the ROM to still take advantage of your great HD
My applications include:
Pocket Informant
Resco Utility Pack
Softmaker Office Suite
SPB time
SPB Traveller
SPB Mobile Shell (plus the omnia SPB Skins skinning tool)
SPB Brain Evolution
SPB Finance
SPB Wallet
SPB weather
Pocket Investor
GarminXT GPS
MSS Converter
Phatnotes for MS Outlook
Skype
GSen
LockmeLite
SKTools
Sprite Backup
Finger Keyboard
Google Maps
HD Tweak

Why don't you upgrade the stock firmware first to the new 1.56 and new 1.13 radio, supposed to fix a lot of issues and give better battery life / gps signal.
Is that the 1 from the HTC website? cos when i entered my serial number last time it said that the upgrade was not available for me so i assume that i already had the latest version...
EDIT: Dont you just love orange? I have just received my replacement and it is a generic handset. hehehe
Hello omz
To check your rom version start/settings/system/device information with the phone being 4 months old it will more than likely have version 1.14, the latest version 1.56 from htc.com is only available for sim free phones i.e. it was purchased with out a contract. As mentioned else where on this forum, providers like Orange etc will take a few months with there update if they bother at all. If they don’t your other option will be to either flash with a custom rom loads on this site or see if some one will send you there official rom. Software, video convertor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474955 this is excellent, screen rotation I like this one http://idevelopstuff.com/dev/WM/Fuze...creen_inst.cab but there is also gyrator, satnav TomTom 7.915 works a treat on these phones.

Hi Guys ...
This is my first post ever, aldo I'm allready a member for 3 years
Where to start .. I have an Artemis P3300 and I'm very happy with it ! My wife has a ELF with more memory, but I'll prefer My Artemis Anyway !!
I have a problem since a month that I can not solve because I dont find someone with the same problem !
I have windows mobile 6 Professional (CE OS 5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2
over there is the Spb mobile Shell version 3.5.0 build 9593
I have the SDHC drivers for my mem card of 8 gig
I turn also Iconsoft Phone Extension 2.2 (the best there is !!!)
and to speed things op a 247 Mhz I use Chi-Tai Dang Homescreen Plus Plus
To know where I am I use Tom Tom Navigator 7.910 (9185)
I have chosen very wisely what To put on it because with this I have still 11,44Mb Storage and 11,51Mb Program left !! So everything turned super smoothly and nice !!!
Untill a month ago where I constantly have the "cannot execute \windows\pcm.exe" When i see the message, then everything becomes incredibly slow and it doesnt even go to Call me anymore . The Call sound is also gone ...
Strange ...
Is there one person on earth who had the same problem like me, or who can help me out ???
That would B amazing !!!

Really... Not a single person ???
Grtz [email protected]
hey, think your problem lies within the regestry.
not too sure but i think its a contact manager trying to launch, and cant..
try uninstalling the contact manager..(pcm.exe)
or...
even though you have spent time choosing which programs to install, i suggest you upgrade from wm6 to wm6.1, you will have more storage memory and more free ram! currently i have 38mb free storage and 25mb ram free and i have all the goodies i need installed..
(uspl cmon - first to flash any rom for artemis)
or hard rest..
(you will loose anything on device so back up all data..if you do..)
Incredible
Hey man,
I've exactly the same issue! And I have almost the same configuration with same applications...
Actually, I have an Samsung Omnia with Windows Mobile 6.1, I've also installed spb mobile shell 3 and PhonEx 2.2 (and I totally agree with you, it's the best!), and I've also a lack of memory (I mean main memory, not storage mem because I have 2x8Gb) with 10Mb left (but it's not really constant, it vary from +-1 or 2Mb without removing or adding application) and 40Mb for program, and after something like 1 hour using my phone, the "cannot execute windows/pcm.exe" appears and then, I can't launch no more application, and the opened applications crashed and I have to restart the device to refind a normal behaviour for 1 hour more...
So , I looked for this pcm.exe in my device and its attached logo is the Phonex logo and I tried to cut it from the windows folder to put it somewhere else and all applications worked except Phonex, so I think it's a part of Phonex, may be pcm means Phonex Contact Manager... I don't know, may be we should remove Phonex and reinstall it after???
I look forward to reading some smart idea... if someone gets some ;-)
Thanks
PS: I use iGo instead of Tom Tom and I think it is overwhelmingly better than the latter... with 3D building and above all the 3D landscape.
PS: if someone has a tip to avoid the lack of memory, I want well... Because despite I install all my application on the storage card, the main memory is always decreasing...
weird
It's weird, the problem looks to be fixed! But I've done nothing to fix it... weird
