Develop Bugs

Phone dial, ending call, etc.. problems.. Am I the only one?

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!

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.

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.

HERMES Auto suspend fix

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
Lee

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.

Well unfortunately I have had the problem happen to me once, and I have larger batter drain than before.

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?

Fm radio does not work at all , only static

My problem is , that my FM Radio doesn't work....I GET ONLY STATIC i discovered that after few months, cause i never used, and without beingn a big issue is like a splinter in my mind, that is somethig on my phone that doesn't work
i've tried reverting phone to stock, 1.32, 1.72....almost every custom rom, Lee, Miui , Cyanogen..etc, changed RADIOS and headsets...but nothing seemed to work
well the next step is to revert-it to stock and send it to waranty...but from various reasons i'm very reluctant in doing that
so is there anyone who encountered the same problem ????

Do you have head phones plugged in? Sometimes they are used for antennas

I've just remembered I've got some headphones in the drawer here at work, so I thought I'd give it a test for you - worked straight away mate!
First time I've even tried the radio, had to search for the app to turn it on Running ARHD 5.1.3 (until 5.1.4 gets released hopefully soon!)

thats exact how it hapends...i didnt evere tried ...but when i tried ups...ands its do no,, some how, annoyin, to know that i have a BUG

I'm sorry I can't remember the specifics of it, but I had this problem. It turned out it was a quirky fix. I think I had to plug in the headset, start the radio, then click menu > speaker, then menu > headset & it worked. I only had to do that the first time I used the radio in a particular ROM. That sequence has been talked about in another thread here. That's where I found it originally.

Hi,
Yes I have the same issue mate,
just got the new HD (on net) and didn't test the radio prior to rooting and applying custom rom (coredroid).
did note the wireless was hopeless on the original rom prior to upgrade.
I opened Fm radio and scanned (as i have on my 3 other htcs in the family) and no channels are being picked up, changing locations, headsets etc no difference.
I have reflashed different radios, no diff
reflashed stock 2.2 flashed several radios and kernals, no diff
restored my custom image with recommended radio versions, no diff.
I have given up, it looks like its possibly a warranty issue, but i am reluctant to go through the BS just for the radio
Any fixes?
Col

any developers thoughts on this?

how mines worked...use headphone as an antenna
Static reduction methods
did you try to use the headphone as an antenna? Raise the headphone higher make it act like an antenna, and put device/phone on speaker.
edit: and sometimes leave fm radio on and minimize it/push home button
It reduces the static for me.

[Q] Colored snow, screen distortion, earphone speaker not working on Tilt2

Hey everyone,
I'm currently running the latest Jackos and I believe everyone was fine with the speaker you hold to your ear in conversation until about 2 weeks ago. Maybe a week or so after I installed the newest Jackos. Now I can't hear anything on it, but the microphone works fine. Speakerphone works fine, and my bluetooth earpiece works fine. I've searched for help on this and can't find anything to fix this problem.
The other problem is right when I boot the phone, instead of getting the black screen with the red diagnostic text, I get a white screen with colored speckles all over the screen. The speckles don't move at all and if I let it sit for 20 seconds or so, it will then show the HTC logo on black and continue booting. I can't get into the bootloader, I can't hard reset the phone, etc. Any ideas how to fix this? I haven't tried flashing the same/another ROM yet, but I don't know if that's even possible with this snow screen problem.
I've run Task29 and all the usual stuff every time I've flashed and I have never seen this happen until a couple of weeks ago. It does it NEARLY every time I soft reset or shutdown and boot or pull the battery and boot. The battery charges fine and it runs fine otherwise.
The screen will get random glitches in it, even when the battery is full and it makes me suspect maybe the battery's going bad but it'll run all day without problems and it doesn't get warmer than usual or anything like that.
Also, sometimes it says there's no SIM inserted and I've pulled it out, the contacts are nice and gold and nothing seems wrong.
Any ideas?
My sig is out of date but I have to head out right now and can't switch it yet, but it's the latest Jackos with 6.5.
Thanks,
Eric

I would flash a different/stock ROM and see if anything changes.
If no, hardware problem. If yes, software problem .
You seem to think you cannot, but AFAIK if you can task29, you can flash a ROM. Either way, putting an nbh on the SD card and doing power+vol up+reset should work regardless, unless the device is really bricked - in which case it wouldn't be booting.

Okay thanks, I'll see what I can do with it.. It does boot fine, though for a week I thought it was bricked because of the snow, but I decided to just let it sit for a week and gave it a shot, and poof! no snow on the first boot. It had the regular red text on black. Then I reset it from the slide to reset menu item and it went to snow again. I let it sit there and about the duration that it would be on the diagnostic screen, it was snow, then magically showed me the HTC logo and booted normally.
So it seems to me that it somehow doesn't want to show diagnostic info but does everything else.. So maybe the bootloader mode IS working, I just can't view that. I'll see what I can do.
Does the screen corruption/no sound in earpiece seem like a ROM issue, or battery related, or phone going bad problem to you?
And I've been looking for a while trying to find a suitable replacement, but haven't seen anything that I really find appealing (either in Android or WP7).. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks again,
Eric

Flash stock, it re-flashes everything... Make sure it works, then flash back to Jacko's.

Talk about loaded questions! I haven't found anything that's appealing with a hardware keyboard yet... The supposed TP3 (on Sprint it's the "Arrive"...) was a real disappointment.
MT4GS looks decent, if you can live with tmo...

Thanks for your replies, I'm going to try to flash to stock in a little while and see how that goes.
The new Glide phone that AT&T has sounded promising until I read a review of it. Slow camera, 480x800 on a larger screen, etc. It didn't seem as cool as I had hoped it would be after that.
I'll write back with my progress or lack thereof with this TP2.
Eric

I installed HTC's official AT&T ROM and the screen corruption seems to be less extensive but looks different too. The snow at startup is still present though.
There was a radio that came with Jackos ROM, is there any chance that's to blame? Though it worked fine for a couple weeks before these weird screen things started happening.
I haven't tried making a voice call yet to test the earpiece/earphone/loudspeaker or whatever the proper name is for it but since nothing else is really 'fixed' I'm not sure it will work either.
Thanks,
Eric

The stock ROM should've come with a radio as well...
task29 & flash stock? Otherwise perhaps you have a hardware problem... I don't know what to make of this snow .

The earpiece/loudspeaker thing isn't fixed either. I'll try a Task29 tomorrow or tonight if I can't sleep (thinking about this stupid phone! ) and then flash this ROM again and see what happens and let you know.
Thanks again
