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!"&%ยง! :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.
During ROM upgrade i accidentally pressed cancel button
after that the BA looks like it's completely dead - it won't power on, can't enter bootloader mode, can't hard/soft reset, no lights
(i thinked that i am quite experienced with all that -- did rom upgrade/downgrade many times but now i'm confused)
what to do?
Why dont you order another BA haha
Well dracula thaty was a nice helpful thing to say wasnt it!!!
d00mer - I have done this a few times (True but sad)
Take the battery off and let it drain over a day or so then try cold booting it - there are also many more helpful resources on here than our friend with the poor sense of humor and I am sure its not bricked yet
Kind regards

hi everyone
ive seen quite a few busted/malfunctioning standby button posts but none have had any proper answer other than to open the device and clear the dust.
ive done exactly that- opened up the device, blew off all the dust. but no help.
on closer inspection i realised that the legs of the standby button had actually come OFF the circuit board.
now..i could probably take it into a mobile shop and have it fixed. but i wonder if there is any software out there that could possibly simulate a Standby Button press?
this would be especially useful for flashing ROMs..
i am sorry but i can't figure out, how it should work. if it was some sort of cab and you "pressed standby" once, how would you wake up the device, you can test that with pshutxp. plus, the program would of course not be accessable when turned of or for reset. when reflashing the device, the prog would be gone anyway. if there was a remote program to control via pc, same thing, when your device is in standby, there is no pc connection, and again, no way to do it, while not being sync with AS. so the only actual access to that function is the hardware button itself, so instead of trying to substitute it, you should probably go get it fixed or order spare parts, or an entirely new device, which is probably the cheapest.

thanks for the reply
well i just need to press it once :S
to flash a new ROM
after that i can then reinstall the app (if it exists) to do any hard resets thereafter i guess......
zes, and that is the problem, in that situation, trying to start the bootloader, and also after flashing for the hard reset, you don't have any external access to the functions or to any programs on your device (since at that moment there are none, quite redundant). the one and only option to give the device the power buttons impulse, is the power button.
also i guess you're aware of the fact that upgrading your rom does not solve nor avoid your problem, you will still have no key lock, drain incredibly much standby time and once the device shuts off, you need to soft reset it to restart. if the button in physically broken, it needs to be physically repaired or your problem will not be solved.
http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Blue Angel Service Manual.pdf
that is the ba's service manual, in which you can find the exact process on how to change the power button, and if you don't have spare parts, you could get inspired on how to substitute one...
also, maybe posting a photo of the damage to your button could make people who went through the same be able to advise you exactly, since all my experience in the hardware section of the ba is purely theretical.

hi tony
thanks.
after the flash i can still access the clear reg hive thing by holding record and cam button..
that should be all i need.
as for waking the phone, i can set it not to disable other buttons while on standby, so i can wake it with Call/End buttons.
and then with that, i can use s2cu to software lock the device to avoid accidental presses.
but you're right, nothing better than getting it fixed physically.
i GUESS itll just require resoldering the little switch back on, as the damage is that 2 of its pins have left the circuitboard. i dont have the tools to do a small and precise soldering job so..
ill try to take a pic too and post one later
well i dug deeper...
seems that there is a 'Enterbl.exe' thats supposed to be related to enterin the bootloader without having to do all the hardware keypresses.
I've not yet had luck with this...dont know which 'version' i need..
so perhaps to rephrase my question:
is there an alternative way to enter the bootloader mode on the blue angel?
similar to the Wizard Service Tool (which i also tried out of desperation, though all it does is blink the BA's screen)
Hi all!
I am thoroughly fed up! My Tytn II picked up so many niggly bugs such as the screen powering up 3 seconds after powering down the screen and it also had a spell of shutting the screen off even when in the car cradle, power lead plugged in, and screen set to stay on when power plugged in to it. But it would still shut down.
Well tonight I am driving for 4hrs and an hour ago my screen switched off. I powered it on again but now I have a Tytn II bug where the screen powers down after around 25 seconds. No matter what the power settings are.
The power settings are
No power lead:
backlight off after 1 min and shut off after 2 mins.
On power:
Screen stay on.
What has happened! What can I do! I have done a back up so will try a reboot to out the box settings but absolutely pig sick of WM p*ssing me about. I really have better things to do than numerous hours of hard resetting and rebuilding the device to how I had it.
Is there anywhere in the registry that might have changed and I can set it back? Though I would also be keen to know why it happened to avoid it happening again.
Thanks for any help folks.
Rich
Same Problem here!
don't know what's happen -
Do you use s2u2?
I was having the same problems but i finally submitted and did a hard reset and it seems to keep the backlight on now when charging (just waiting for it to get to full charge to see if it keeps on then). So just have to install on the apps one by one now and see which one was causing the problem.
@cotc2001 please keep us inform

A friend of mine had the same issue. He had to do a Hard Reset as well . Never had the problem again, even when he installed all of his stuff back.
No other soloution? don't like to reinstall all programs
i have to ask.. just to clarify. Is this an issue with your TyntII or Touch Pro 2?
This is an issue with my TP2
no chance to repair the buck without an hardreset?
No idea, all i know a hard reset cured it so im guessing it was a application conflicting somewhere. I've only installed stuff that I really need now like IGO8, and a couple of small apps so don't know which one it was.
Solution - without Hardreset
i got it
I Find the right entry in the registry
HCU - ControlPanel - Power - Display
change the value u like
Edit: Solutions works also after Softreset!
have fun

It's a general HTC issue. Or maybe even Windows Mobile. My Xperia has that issue except the settings always reset to 25 seconds. It's basically software conflicts. I hate that most!

I don't have a "Power" folder in the HKCU\ControlPanel\ section, do you mean the HKLM section? This does have a "Power" key, but no Display entry. Should I add a DWORD value "Display" and then enter a value representing what?
There are also a lot of keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power but I have no Idea which one to edit...
Anybody determine the registry key that controls the backlight settings? even if it get's lost on soft reset, I'd like to know. maybe execute the change on startup of the handset.
A few hours ago i was browsing the xda portal when i found a thread about someone booting win 95 on his HTC Himalaya.... so i found it a little bit interesting so i want to try it out myself..... just few minutes later i googled some info and find out that need to increase my screen resolution by nyditot virtual display software....then i just download the trial version of it and try it on my BA.....however, my device wont pass the tricolor bootscreen(first one that is) and it just freeze there.....so i tried to remove the battery and luckily my device boot normally afterwards...dammit that app...so i go to settings and remove that sh**ty app..after that, i power off my device and put it into the cradle to charge it..my ba lights up as it detect the charging...but i just saw a white screen instead of a display...it shocked me and the first thing that i do was to soft reset it...however, after soft reset,i tried to power off and power on my phone..then the same as before a white screen,,,i also tried setting the screen to blank by using core player options... the screen didn't went blank as if it was powered off...but it seems that i can still see the display like just the backlight is turned out...however touching the screen wont do anyting....i need help asap as i need to use my device to finish my assignments...well the only possible solution that i'm seeing right now is just a hard reset...but i dont want that..recently just got everything working on my BA(wi-fi, mms, psx games,etc that i dont want to lose)help me , please.....

Well, uninstalling nydiots might have messed some drivers up. Sorry to tell you this, but I think that your only option will be hard reset. BTW, I edited your post a bit... watch the language we have kids around the site, you know?
yeah, sorry bout that....i was really upset that time....but now i've found a solution....luckily i dont need to do a hard reset...i reinstall the application again(nothing much to lose...)and realised that in the application folder there was a shortcut named "vd restore"(what else should that mean...)used that and viola, everything was back to normal...then, later, i downloaded nyditot vd the latest version and it worked....just that it was too slow maybe because of the scaling...and titanium wont work...maybe it need it's own cpr....so i want to request anyone here who have it, vga titanium .cpr file please post it for me....will continue to explore what i can do with this application...and btw, thanks mr.egzthunder1 for replying....
Glad everything worked out
