Hi forum!
Before anything, thanks for your invaluable help and support, without it I would feel even more lonly on my PPC life
OK, said so...
I'm having currently some problems with the phone part of this great device. Sometimes when I answer a call (with the hardware key) it takes 2 to 3 seconds before I can hear anything from the person calling me. The same happens when I hang. It takes time to hang the conversation, so I never know if it's really hanged..
Lately I'm having also problems with the "today" app I think. It never shows up and the upper bar (status?) does not change when I receive a call.
I went trhu a hard resseting and restore (Sprite) process 1 week ago, but I had the phone problems before that...
Thanks a lot for your help.
by the sound of it, you have upgraded to the wm5.0 rom, i have these problems also, until there is a known fix for the minor bugs, with the today screen you can just go into settings and today, then come out again, and what wasnt there before should be there now, also , have you tried to upgrade the radio rom too??? 8)
thanks for your answer! But I'm currently using wm2003. Though I'm considering switching to wm5 now we can if I don't get a solution to this
I normally use the phone for work-job and this minor things annoys me big deal!

Ok its fixed now... Dont know what fixed it... maybe the constant upgrade of roms or the ppcreset... or pulling the battery out and leaving it for 10 mins... But finally i dont have to send it in for a refurb... Thanks for anyone who looked and thought of a solution... If anyone else has this again they can try all the things i tried...
1) Upgrade/ Downgrade Radio multiple times.
2) upgrade SPL multiple times.
3) Try all the cooked roms
4) Revert back to ATT wm5 rom.
5) Reset device with Reset PPC
6) SuspendPPC (These i found in the black rom under system Folder)
7) Pull the battery out for 10 Mins.
Hopefully something in this combo works... cant point out which since i did too many things...
This forum is great with info available here Thanks to all the chefs,the guides and WIKI.
Cheers...
Disappearing Camera? Me Too.
My Camera Disappeared a few days ago, the hardware button on the spine does not bring it up and the application does not run, it just brings up the photo viewer. I even run the exe and get nothing. Also note, "Brighter Screen" does not work nor "Bigger Screen". For the record it's a Hermes100 and its running ROM Pro BLACK 3.0.1 and Radio 1.41.00.10.
I am looking all over, but I can't find anyone with the proper solution. May I should take my Cingular 8525 back and see what they say, they are probably going to say it was my fault when they see the new radio and Rom, but the problem happened with the original ROM.

Did you do everything i mentioned above?
try different combinations. I had the exact same rom and radio as you...
when i downgraded the radio it took the camera out for some reason.
If i were you i will try different things before the last option of sending it back for a refurb.
Good luck
did a search and nothing really came up...
My problem is that when i make a phone call i cannot hang up. The system seems to lag. i touch end...nothing happens, i push the red hangup button...nothing happens, then after SEVERAL seconds it finally hangs up.
Did not have the problem with wm5 but every rom for wm6 has had this issue on my phone.
Currently have blackshadow 4.0
radio 1.41
Please help!!! its really annoying when i dont want to leave a voice mail but cant hang up.
I appreciate any help i can get!

i am running black shadow with radio 1.43 and i have the same problem, the response time for hangup on shadow is really long!! i have to press the red cancel button 4-5 times to get a call to end
Try the latest LSVW 0616, it functions well and seems very stable.
Good luck.

Excuse me but was that REALLY helpful? If I was to post "my Chevy truck won't turn off" would you post "get a Ford truck, they do"??
(no, my post wasn't helpful either)
anyone else have this problem or know how to fix??
I had the same problem with the 143 radio.. First I installed the 141 radio and then reinstalled Shadow. works fine now.Try reinstalling Shadow.
could this actually be the radio? only reason i ask is i had just flashed radio 1.43 and shadow at the same time, can someone please tell if it is jus a radio reflash or do i have to go through and reinstall shadow as well?
There is a new 3g dialler made available by Jasjamming at his new home that will now work on the Shadow rom, this will probably help you.

Actually that might be helpful because the Chevy maybe doesn't work. I have had the same problem with Shadow and had to switch. I am using 1.43 and Schap's 3.30b now and it seems to be better. Custel's worked ok too - waiting for his next update.
Mark
Edit - Based on other posts maybe I should switch to 1.41.
Is this what you do just to increase your post count?

Maybe it DOES work, just not for you. Be careful when you dis a ROM here my friend, especially when you're using the latest GSM.
I had the same problem with Black Shadow IV using Radio 1.43 and 1.41, Now i use 1.40 and it is working fine.
i have tried 1.43 and 1.41 and neither fix this, ill revert to 1.40 and see if that fixes it.

1.40 doesnt work either...
Hi jwagman1,
Dont have such a problem. When testing black shadow with 1.43 with different software, there was a lot of issues - in general the rom was very unstable etc. - almost permanently freezing. The test (not very scientific) showed that all kind of battery status software are causing problems - My solution was to reinstal the shadow only, not using any battery status packages, and the rom is performing really well now.
The problem might come also from some kind of incompatibility with the network of your carrier - as I got the 1.43 is not Hermes radio. Pumpiron579, who had the same problem also seems to be on Cingular
In such a situation I wll install new radio (e.g. 1.40), and new Rom (not shadow) too, and see.
Same problem with me on Shadow. Let's try Shadow lite or dymond 3.5 BS, it's work fine for me.
(radio 1.43)
dont mean to sound funny guys, bet everyone is trying radios and no-one is getting the right effect, might i suggest that it is a common problem within shadow.
I have tryed backdating 1.43 -> 1.41 -> 1.40 -> flashing to 1.38
this is getting silly now, 20 mins per flash lol i have been flashing for nearly 80 mins (if i was on a street i would have been arrested by now lol)
Same problem here Custel v2.5, Radio 1.40.30.00.
Hang up button (hard and soft) will not work 25%+ of the time.
There is a peculiar problem in hermes(the best device ever made). Some times the phone led (green) blinks where as the display is off and it fails to start up even if u soft reset.
in the meanwhile if some one calls u he will get a ring but u wont be notified by ur device
this will make the person calling think u r avoiding him
this is the perfect solution tried on atlest 50 hermes
Plz install the following cab then switch off ur device then switch it on again and wolla the sleep to death problem is gone
Take care
HTC zindabad (i.e. long live HTC)
Guess you forgot the cab?
Edit: Ok, here it is now ;-)
Anyone tried this???
To be honest: I find it a little hard to believe: threads all over the place about this SOD. All chiefs searching and searching for the solution.
And now in your first post you have the solution?
Hope it's its true...
Could you please give us some more information than "this is the perfect solution..."?
How does this patch work? any technical detail as to how this fixes the issue?
Great if it does but a little skeptical without any detail?
Cheers

I agree with pietrucci,
please ... Anyone tried this CAB? we need our forum seniors & moderators answering us.
Thanx for your efforts nittin_sp, and hope it's truly works.

To tell you the truth I have never been able to reproduce the SOD problem whatsoever. I still can't figure out what the heck is causing it.
Anyway, if you doubt nittin_sp, maybe you should tr it yourself and see if it solves the problem.
This was rather uncourteous...

SOD
IN my whole 6 months having my hermes i had never had SOD until i flashed the official dopod rom with matt kitchen. when I traced the source that SOD had came from it was a bad extended rom flash i done. This cause the device to go sleep after the screen time out, and also if i put the phone in idle mode i had to soft reset everytime.
i flashed an original operator t-mobile rom with the extended rom and all my problems went away.
My device has never been quicker no more SOD and battery life is superb with the new radio 1.47 after one whole day with normal use with 3g internet I am still on 70% battery life.
Now I have the perfect device and i think hermes WM6 crave and addiction will be thinned out as there is not much you can do now with the hermes as to wait for PROTON or fully integrated touchflo working ROM.
p.s
TRY FLASHED A AN ORIGINAL OPERATOR ROM WITH THE EXTENDED ROM YOU CAN USE ROMKOCH TO EXTRACT THOSE TWO AND FLASHED YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING WM6 AND GUANRANTEE YOU WILL SEE AND FEEL A MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE HERMES. THATS MY 2 cents
Running new official wm6 no more sod here so cannot verify that it works, but I had alot of sod in various other roms and if this is a solution the senior members/cooks should disect it and figure out what is the real cause of them and what exactly this fixes since they are not so forthcoming.
edit, wait reading it again it says that even soft reset fails to start up, if that is true they are not talking about any sod I have ever had soft reset does what it does resets the device and boots up.
There were many quick fixes trying to figure out the sod problem, sd card issues, active sync turning on etc, maybe this is a cab that does that.
Psiodon
I will try this
I have had SOD's several times a week.
Will try this and get back to you in a couple of days
I find that I have to SRS every morning after not touching the device all night. I have installed this cab and will report back tomorrow about the behavior of the device. It would be wonderful if this actually works. I am keeping an open mind about it.
I don't understand why you're being so mysterious about this nittin_sp. From what I can tell using IDA Pro (sorry, but I am reluctant to simply load something on faith based on "100% fix" claims alone), your patch simply sets the DWORD value "DisableAutoSuspend" in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\sys to a 1. Interestingly, on my TyTN running WM6 this is already set to a 1.
Sometimes its easier to just say this rather then create a cab. That way the rest of the community can work off your findings and perhaps explore this SOD issue better.
If your cab does more than this then please share your knowledge so we can further explore this hermes issue.
ok so I installed this. I've not had any BSOD's since doing so in a 24 hour period, when normally I'm getting them alteast every hour, sometimes more than 1 in an hour. Will report more soon. Would be good if you can post what this does though as I'd like the ROM cooks to build it in.

Hi,
Sorry if this is a dumb question - why do you need to extract the ROM and EXTENDED ROM after flashing the original operator ROM and then flash WM6?
Would it be the same if I just flash the official WM6 and reflash with the cooked WM6?
Thanks!
As promised, I am reporting my results. While I have no idea what this patch is doing, for the first time since I have had this device, I have not had a single failure. Coincidence? We will see in 24 hour.

I have not noticed any increase in battery drain, but I did not use the phone much on the weekend. The reality is, the only time I have the problem is when I do not touch the phone and it goes to sleep. When it wakes up, there is an apparent memory issue that SRS easily resolves. But, since I have installed this cab, the issue has not reappeared - yet.
yup over 24 hours and no issue... Its looking good.
spoke too soon - still sod... reduced but still present - what does this hack do exactly?

Hello,
I have been using Touch Pro 2 from last 7 months. Around 4 moths back i upgraded to Win 6.5. After that i am facing a particular problem. Sometimes i get an error of "Device.exe" and then all the sound from the phone is mute.It doesnt play any sound and even if i answer/make a call, i cannot hear the other party's sound or even when their phone is ringing. There is only vibration. I tried using it with headset, and there is absolutely no sound. After resarting the phone everything is fine. But the error appears the very next day or the day after that, and i just restart the phone. I tried Hard Reset and installing the official ROM from HTC website, still the problem persists. The only software i installed after replacing the ROM were NetCF3.5 & Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 only. I highly doubt if it causes this problem as i was using it in Win6.1 when i bought the device.
The people at HTC downgraded my device to Win 6.1 and asked me to use it for a week and see if the error comes. I am using it for almost week, and the problem is not there.
Can someone suggest what the problem could be, as i dont like 6.1 as i am now used to 6.5. I dont think HTC will be able to help me soon. Someone please help me in this case.
REGARDS.
Hi, I had a similiar issue with my tilt 2 that I finally figured out was linked to advanced config tools. Specifically the changes I made in the sounds settings. For some reason this muted my microphone and speaker. After changing back those settings to default the problem was resolved. I am running 6.5 on my phone. Hopefully this helps you out.

YOU ARE RIGHT buddy... i was doubting on Advanced Config only..... but i did not made any changes to he sound, i use it for unthreaded messages only...but this time i did not install it, i got the unthreaded sms patch from HTC and installed it, and till now i did not face the same problem, it almost 3 complete days of my usage.....
now i am sure Advnced config is the culprit....
Few more people are having the same problem in my country(UAE) and have complained at HTC, i shall inform them about this...or lets wait for another 3 days to make sure that this problem does not occour.
THANKS A LOT
I had some similar problems with the advanced config running the stock rom with the att tilt2. I've since banished that program from my phone.
Sleep mode issues
I have discovered that if I let my Artemis go into sleep mode it doesn't "take calls". Doesnt even register a call came in.
It does let me know I had a voicemail
it does pick up on text messages.
Just not incoming calls.
When I try to call out after I wake it up from sleep mode, it tries, but just does not want to connect. Phone doesn't freeze, just never makes the call. when I try to hang up, the "hanging up" screen stays forever, but I can go back to home screen. The phone icon in the top left taskbar never goes away, either. ( happens only sometimes otherwise outgoing works fine)
I am fairly certain this is a known issue, but is there any workaround for this? Perhaps command in startup txt regarding sleep mode?
Its sad..its just like a brick in Sleep mode and u cod end up making many enemies in ur freinds circle when you are not calling back...
Please help me
I am using Mischel Rom touch 4.02 6.1
