Hey all,
This is a great forum, plenty to read and I've done a search but been unable to find an exact answer.
I installed Black about a week ago on my T-Mobile MDAII and for the most part it rocks like a motherhubbard. There is one annoying thing though - it often won't come out of standby.
The light will be flashing on the top, but pushing the power buttond does nothing and if you call the phone, nothign happens (you can hear ringing, but my hermes doesn't actually ring).
I had SPB mobile shell installed, but I read some posts saying this might be the problem, so I uninstalled it. I also installed the t-mobile .cab so i could get my web'n'walk stuff back.
I also have OggSync to sync my phone to my google calendar, but I've switched off the auto update feature, which means it only runs when I tell it.
I also installed SPB finance, but haven't even run that once yet.
The only thing I can do, is a soft reset to get it working again.
I installed the VOIP, VJ555 Utils and Windows Live & Messenger optional extras, although I uninstalled VJ555 Utils.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Why don't you give Black 3.5 (aka Black Dymond) a shot?

Agile crashes on my blue angel anybody know were to get a cab with OZ im in it?
Yea, there ya go: http://seamonkey420.tech-recipes.com/mda_wm5/zips/My_TMO_cabs.zip
sort of related question, are these the files which would customise the phone for T-Mo? I just saw a friends older HP phone from TMo and the Today screen had a bunch of stuff which was T-Mo specific - battery meter,call log, etc....I would like that!!!! :roll:
any idea if this would do? and is OZ IM better than Agile? I just installed that last night... :?
many thanks for any answers!

are you talking about the Win32 API error when trying to run it on WM5? I somehow managed to make it work on the latest logout rom but when I reflashed it and tried installing it a second time it gave the error again.. so far nothing I've seen is as good as agile..
Another Option...
Why not use IM+?
I have used it on both WM2K3 and WM5 flawlessly... built in support for Yahoo, AOL, MSN, ICQ, Jabber and GoogleTalk... and configurable for any other if you know the settings...
I've never tried IM+.
Have you ever though of using regular AIM? I wish there was an update to AIM 2.0 though, I love being able to custmomize my away messages. Its just that the vibrate feature does not work.
I've installed bepe's WWE WM6 ROM for a while now. I'm have a lot of troubles with the pre-installed live messenger. I can't change my name, can't change screen image, the program freezes when i try to log in, online users are shown as offline, my email doesn't arrive (with push email), in short: looks like a crappy program to me. But i don't hear much complaints in the forum here. Are some of you experiencing this problems also with B&B ROM?
Btw: i've tried all basic advices: turning shared screen-image in the desktop messenger, clearing the password, switching users...no results...
Hi,
Some people seem to suggest this comes from an incompatibility issue between the thumbnail (user image) format on Windows and Windows Mobile. I'm however not so sure about this. I've bumbed into this issue several times and the only way to work around is by switching 'accounts' and just logging in to the same account again after picking this option.
The problem happens on all WM6 ROMs I tried so don't even bother trying different versions, unless perhaps an official WWE ROM is released.
Grtzzzzz Roel..

i seem to have found a solution
I have a dutch version of Live Messenger installed on my computer, (because i come from holland ), so i can't give you the exact option names. But i'll try to explain:
In Live Messenger (on your desktop) there are two options:
- showing screen image to other users (your msn contacts)
- keeping screen image and personal message always the same, wherever you login
the last option seems to do the trick: put it OFF on your desktop Messenger. Now i can sync, change nickname, screen image, personal message and see all online users on my P3300!
EDIT:
CRAP! Yesterday no troubles, now i'm not able to see any online users this program is driving me mad! I ll wait for a newer version before wasting any time on it...good job microsoft
i have tried several versions of Messenger, none of which work properly. looked though other forums, none had an answer, that i could see. i have been using Shapesoft IM+, it works, but nowhere near as nice as Messenger used too.
I hope the new HTC ROM will bring the solution...
I'm using WM6 (the O2 upgrade) on my Orbit and when I receive and incoming call the caller ID isn't displayed until I answer - normally where a notification would pop up showing who it is there is nothing but 'answer'.
I did have S2U2 0.80 for a couple of hours but I didn't like it (slowed my device down too much) so I uninstalled it. It seems like this problem has been occurring since I first installed it, but I thought uninstalling it would have fixed it.
Does anyone know how I can make the caller ID show up again?
Thanks.
do you have spb phone suite installed? please try to uninstall that, it may cause this problem.
if that dont work then i recomend a hard reset.
I have SPB PocketPlus and SPB Time installed, as I have had for years without this problem.
I do not have time to hard reset yet again right now, so I'm still searching for alternatives. Thanks for the response.
Hello I have a M3100 (HTC HERMES) running Windows Mobile 6 Pro
Specs:
CE OS 5.2.1413 (Build 17913.0.3.0)
I really can't understand why every 4/5 days or after having installed some program (like spb shell) my notifications for SMS and e-mails disappears.
I tried to look in Settings/Sounds but everything looks fine.
In the registry under the ControlPanel folder the keys look to be ok.
When I receive and SMS or an e-mail I only get the writing "1 Message to read" (or similar) with no sound nor popup nor vibration....
Is there a way to control this notification system? How does it work?
It's really frustrating because I continuosly have to look at the today tab to see if I got a message... grrrr.
Thanks
Just dont install those programs...that might fix the problem
I'm having the same problem without any installed apps.
Sometime, soft-reset does the trick and sometimes not.
However, I did not let the device continue to install everything after my hard-reset, what is in the extended ROM in Schaps 4.01?
Did I miss some critical update?
Have you 'TICKED' the box in Settings/Sounds&Notifications/Programs ?
Otherwise it has to be one of your installed programs.

Yes, it is ticked. The problem is that most of the time, just as mattjakob described it, there is no notification and the messeging today plugin shows unread mail. While in other times (after SR?) everything works good.
Coming to think of it, it may have started around the time I assigned a sound to incoming mail... I'll try and remove it and see what happens.
I'd personally reflash the ROM for something this odd...
Hi All,
I'm a long time lurker and first poster - just want to say initially thanks for all the helpful hints, tips, software etc I've picked up from the forum.
However, I've recently got a problem that I can't seem to crack and wondered if anyone has any ideas. I've tried searching but to no avail.
Randomly (and often when browsing) 'Messaging' appears on the top bar (with 'Delete' and 'Menu' on the softkey bar (as if it had suddenly shifted to an email page) but the main portion of the screen remains frozen with whatever was going on before (i.e. the webpage, today screen or whatever). It'll happen a few times then Opera crashes, but it also happens with the phone on standby (not sure if Opera was still running).
If I hit 'Menu' then 'Reply' it comes up with the latest message from my Hotmail account. I'm running Windows Live as a push account I think it may be that triggering it when it starts to sync. Perhaps some sort of problem with Opera and Windows Live when they're both running?
I've not got any serious mods installed and didn't have this problem until recently. I've got the latest versions of Opera, Windows Live and have recently reflashed the ROM in case that was the problem but no such luck.
I'm going to disable the push email and see if it still happens then try uninstalling things to see if that stops it but any suggestions gratefully received if you've had a similar problem and have managed to solve it.
Brief spec:
WinMo 6.5 (latest official HTC ROM)
UK O2 network
Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2u (Ninja Duck enhanced, but it happened with the Opera official version too)
1% Battery mod
FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly battery icon mod
sdkcerts for above
SmartPhone tracker (disabled - going to uninstall to check)
ive got the same issue with my stock att branded tilt2
hope someone knows whats causing this...
I'm now thinking it may be a memory shortage issue - last time it did it I checked on task manager and it said memory usage was 95%
It's only about 59% when I reboot so I can only assume that Opera or something is using an inordinate amount of system memory. No idea if that's it, though
HTC Imagio Too
Same problem with my HTC Imagio. Messaging just pops up randomly and for no reason. I believe, too, that it has something to do with the Hotmail push email, but it has not always done this, which is the real mystery.
I'm having the same thing happen. But when I hit the reply button, it just brings up a blank email with my address in the From line. I haven't noticed any increase in RAM though. To me, it's nothing more than a nuisance.
Same here, tmobile stock rom wm6.5.
But when I touch the center area the message tool bar goes away and I resumewhatever I was doing just fine, so I normally ignore this.
May have something to do with checking email. I don't have push (push for gmail still not good IMHO), but the phone is checking my two gmail accounts every 15 minutes.
I have this problem too, and can't stand it. Have push Hotmail via Windows Live, Sync "as items arrive" from 7am to 11pm.
I've also downloaded the HTC hotfix for SMS freezing (in case this is related somehow).
I searched for it and can't believe this hasn't been solved yet.
Same here.
I have had this problem since day one, about 5 months ago on my Tilt2. Grrr.
Same issue here.
I also have this issue.
I have observed this occur with 65% memory usage.
I can also confirm this occurs with POP3 email. I have 2 POP3 accounts and no push accounts.
It does not seem connection related, happens when connected via EDGE, 3G, & Wifi.
I am running an NRG wm6.5 ROM.
same problem here. was hoping to find a fix on here.
Same here, Verizon TP2 when I hit the messaging image, it just goes away. Using stock WinMo 6.5 rom with about 8 apps from OpenMkt. Device is pretty stable and other than above and very slow opening mail sometimes.
everyone has thais problem and no replies :-( I also have this problem
my phone freezes a lot when opening a new txt. I downloaded the hotfix sms fix from htc and when i go to install it it just says the hotfix is not compatible
I have a problem with mine regarding opening TXT messages in windows messaging app, not in the HTC txt app. When I close it, it just freezes then I have to hit the side button to reset....Anyone have a fix for this? Im running TMOUS windows 6.5
Same problem here. Although mine happens on both emails (pop and windows live) and text. Whenever I close any of them the messaging will pop up 5-30 seconds later.
Hopefully if we get enough people with the same problem someone will eventually find a solution!
EDIT: I'm running stock Verizon ROM with a couple minor mods (nothing that screws with messaging, other than the disable SMS sent popup)
Me 2
I too have the same issue with stock tmo 6.5 rom. I never noticed it with energy roms. I wonder if maybe he knows what could be causing this issue? Just an idea.
