Couple of Q's With WM5 - Blueangels - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

I've upgraded my dads blueangel to wm5 at his request.
I've noticed now instead of a nice splash screen I get the 3 solid colour bars, and at the bottom it says:
G None
R None
Then the current wm5 version.
It then goes into wm5.
Comparing this to my Wizard, I've got version numbers in all 3 fields.
Help?

Soft reset the device, then the GSM part of the phone will have enough time to boot up.
The coloured bar screen is unnavoidable.

I installed that package 1.15 I think, whichever the latest Radio is, and now it populates the two fields.
Score!

TyTn sticks in flight mode is it a WM 6 ROM bug?

Mod, please move my message to Hermes WIN Mob 6 forum
I upgraded to WM 6 with the repackaged version of the ROM WM6 Dopod WWE 3.54.707.3 yesterday and mighty pleased with it, however I have one problem and I do not know if it is ROM related or just some setting I've screwed up in the process of changing a lot of settings.
When I turn off the phone in Comm manager and turn it on later the phone will not find the network and keeps asking for the phone pin. Entering the PIN you can see it searching on the antenna icon at top of the Today screen but then it just pops up the Phone PIN screen repeatedly.
The only way to get the phone back on is a soft reset. Pretty annoying as I turn off the phone regularly each day
Also I do not have the old flight mode/wifi balloon now when tapping on the antenna/wifi icons in main sceen, I assume this has been dropped from WM5?
Any ideas guys?

Do a Hard Reset then test the ROM out for a few days. If you are not satisfied with it try one of the cooked WM6 versions (since they are superior).
Thanks
I will play with it as you suggest, also forgot to mention the keyboard no longer illuminates :-(
My radio too is an old version 1.03.03.10. Should I upgrade it first before flasing another ROM ( I have Hard Spl loaded OK)
After adding all my email settings for different accounts and loading apps I don't feel like a change of ROM for a few more days ;-)
Thanks,
Al
i think the problem is with your radio, try any radio at least 1.23 and above
I've been on WM6 since the second day I had my hermes, about 3-4 months ago. I've been on 4 or 5 different trips on planes requiring flight mode. Various LSVW and Sleuth ROMs used with various radios from 1.38 and on...
Not once, despite many layovers, have I had an issue with the phone not coming out of flight mode.
So, in my experiance, no, not a WM6 bug.

I have almost the same problem, but in my case it doesn't ask for PIN code. If I disable PIN request, everything is fine. Try to do the same and see if it's OK. This is the first ROM with this behaviour, but I can live with it in exchange of the amazing speed and phone respondivness !
I haven't seen this problem, but I do see a problem with opening a data connection after being in Flight Mode. It tries to connect to the provider 3-4 times (with quick connects), and then fails with an unable to connect message. At that point, I need to reset in order to connect to data again.
seems to be like the same problem that i am having!! i think its linked to the SOD bug, my herm100 continously reboots the 'radio' part of the phone.. when making a call the phone shows full signal however after placing the call the signal drops before connecting and it searches again for network... im sure that the phone is doing this whilst in standby mode too (maybe linking to the SOD problem) and since you've got you pin request on it seems to be cycling and asking for a pin code!! hope we can find a solution i've tried a few things but nothing seems to cure it!
Did anybody find a solution to this? My TyTn does the same

Issues with crashing GSM?

Hi everyone,
This is my first post, I'm an IT consultant, but by no means a phone expert! I have been upgrading my HTC Universal fine over the last year, and would consider myself a beginner (especially in contrast to you guys!)
I upgraded ro Radio 1.18 and the Ultimate WM5 posted a few days ago. Really good results, and great work - however the actual phone component keeps breaking, and I have to HARD reset.
The phone screen opens fine, and when you try to make a call, it freezes that screen, although you can still return to the Today screen. I'm unable to bring back the phone screen until a soft reset - and then it all starts again.... until I finally hard reset and then I can make calls again.
I'm not going to load any software today, to see if it happens again whilst "clean", but all I had put on was voice command, and a few SPB tools and tomtom yesterday.
So I'll let you know if it goes bad again later, but I thought I'd let you know in case this issue is already raised elsewhere and the search didnt bring it up. To be honest, its not an easy problem to hunt an answer for, as the symptoms are quite generic and broad.
Thanks very much for whatever you can suggest in the meantime,
Kind regards,
Mike
Orange M5000 on O2
Hi again, phone still working ok after 9 hours - and have only done the following do far:
Activesync setup to exchange, and push activated
O2 modem gprs connection created
Dare I do anything else, before I bust it!
Cheers,
Mike
1) My opinion, it seams radio ROM 1.18 has some issues
2) Even any other Radio ROM I would suggest you to keep the phone Band in Manual (GSM or 3G). Keeping the Radio Band in "auto" and by low level signal leads that the Device keep surching for better signal and that cause the device to freeze.
The symptoms you describe sound familiair.
Only I have had the same problems with WM6 and any radio rom.
The radio always seems to get stuck, and after a couple of disabling/enabling the phone the radio really gets stuck and I can't connect to the internet anymore.
I then have to soft-reset the device once, but it usually hangs or crashes, a couple of soft-resets are needed to 'reboot' the radio rom or something.
This was with the first build WM6 roms and radio 1.15 Darkforce/Pdaviet
I don't have this problem now using the cooked WM6 roms using the second build WM6 core (new build) and radio 1.15 or 1.18
Having the same issue radio 1.18 and KDS's WM5 ultimate so just gone back to WM6 from PDA viet that I was running with no problems.
Psi
Thanks Mike for bringing up the issue.
My V1640 (Voda Uni) exhibits similar problems: phone dialer freezes & unable to exit the screen. Going back to today screen by pressing hangup button or using today start menu works fine but unable to bring back the dialer screen unless by soft reset.
Unfortunately, I can't isolate the problem yet to either the Radio Version or the OS ROM version or the Device. The freeze/hang problem appeared in WM6: L26 V7 & PDAViet 2.10.11 as well as in WM5: Js 1.90.96 & KDS Ultimate Edition using V 1.15 & 1.18 in all the above. Tried Darkforce WM6 2.10.02 last night with 1.15 radio rom & the freeze issue came up once already.
I think this is a program/app compatibility issue & now trying to find out the culprit but nevertheless would try to downgrade radio down to 1.11 & will report back any progress.
Cheers.
radio downgrade
Hello everybody! I would downgrade my Radio version, where can i find the necessary files? Which one do you suggest me? I have a qtek 9000 running wm6 2Things version.
thank you!
Hi All,
I am also running a Voda Uni upgraded last month to WM6 with Radio 1.18.00. Since then I have a problem -- I do not know if is related to the thread or not but I thought I would describe it since it relates to GSM 1.18 and GSM crashing.
When power gets low (30-50%) and I attempt a to make a call (or, more often, when I use GPRS) I get a pop-up dialog box that says "GSM Radio Crashed. Reboot in 30 seconds." The phone then kills itself and attempts to reboot. It dies completely midway through the boot. All is well again when I switch to a new battery --at least until the power gets low.

Have the same problem. I have been using thingonasprings WM6 for a month with radio version 1.15. And the last week when I try to make a call I get that dialog box "GSM Radio Crashed etc" I havent noticed if its only when battery is low (think its always low these days thoug I just bought a new one a few month ago)

Problem with keyboard not working

Hi there !
I got a strange problem on my MDA Vario II, running Schap's latest Rom:
Sometimes suddenly the Keyboard is not working any more. Neither the backlight is coming on, nor the entered keys seem to be recognised - beside the 'dot' button
Restarting my Phone by simply switching it off and on again always fixes it.
Anybody seen something similar ?
Regards

I usually have got it on AT&T's rom or vp3G's rom,
when i go to type a text the little white dot is on, and when i turn it off it reappers and types numbers and other letters, only a soft reset makes it normal again. Anyone know what's up?

Ive had similar issues running vp3g 3.0 rom as well...
Also I am unable to use the keyboard to send a text when I am on a call using the bluetooth.. I have to pull out the stylus and us it that way.. Anyone experiance this?
me too, especially when I`m online I can`t push the red button !
I found out one interesting thing:
Pressing the OK button one or two times normally fixes this for me without any restart .

What can i do with my old Blue Angel =)

Hi, i have a Blue Angel as Siemens SX66 named.
Anyway, 2 years ago i broke my touch screen, 1 year later i changed it, it was barely working, i was have to touch 2-3 pixel up.
Now i have a Toshiba G900 today i remembered i have an old blue angel, its still barely working so i want to use it.
what can i do whit it ? it could be experimental thing such as quake pocket server, file server, home remote control etc.
can anyone suggest something, it could be mod, hack etc..
By the way, Keypad locked and i cant unlock it, hmm is there any other way to unlock it over computer ?
thankss
have you reset the BA - changing the 2/3 options, on the 4 colour screen?
have you reset the BA - changing the 2/3 options, on the 4 colour screen?
this should reset to factory default, (remove sd card if inserted!/?)
have you tried upgrading / installing a rom = ?
can you active sync ?
have you read the WIKI - I assume you know about pre-pay / post/pay !
If It works I have a LCD at home; unused because ordered wrong one. This one is Sony.

Blue Angel crashes

Well my MDAIII turns itself off or crashes. Mostly on the HTC screen from the new 6.5.5 Rom from D-Two. This problem persists since the first WM6 rom I flashed on the system.
Sometimes it crashes on the screen with the four colors. SOmetimes in the touchflo or in settings.
Everytime the screen goes black and you see some stripes. When I put out the battery and stick it back in it runs until the HTC boot logo or one of the other mentioned above.
When I clean the Registry Hive and format the Storage. The BLueAngel runs a bit longer without crashing.
The battery is still at 60 percent.
Is this a known problem?
Also I think that I need a new microphone. The one in the BlueAngel is defect. No one can hear me. When I put a Headset in to socket on top. Everything is fine.
Similar Problems
Hi,
I know, that won´t help U, but my Blue Angel has similar problems.
I´ve tried 6.1 Manila and 6.5.5.
Both run well and then, without any obvious reason I get a black screen.
In 6.5.5 the reset lead to a hang and showed R None G None D 6.5.5
After a further reset it showed R 1.1.5 G 1337.45 D 6.5.5
but it didn´t boot at all.
WLAN didn´t work at all in 6.5.5, so I´ve turned to 6.1 + Manila.
But there my device also hangs up, but I can reboot it.
Sadly the Blue Angel don´t run stable and crashes also, like in 6.5.5 without any obvious reason.
Maybe d-two can help, but I´m a new User and not allowed to post in the rom-developer forum.
Stay tuned
