Hi, We are a taxi company in Dublin, Ireland that use O2 XDA to communicate with our dispatch servers using GPRS. We run a windows mobile 5 approved application on the XDAs. We currently have our software running on XDA 2is and Mini S and it runs without any issues.
We are trying to mirgate to XDA Orbits as they have built in GPS receiver. There is one problem - After about 7 days of the XDA Orbit running our application it suddenly just stalls. The OS goes into a stalled state and it could take 3 minutes toget into the setting tab. Doing soft reset will not fix this problem. When device restarts after a soft reset it still runs very slow.
When you access the Settings Tab after some time if you change the GPS Port to "None" the device all of a sudden returns back to normal operating fast!
Our software developers our using the same software on the HTC Artemis and they say they do not have this problem. Can anyone suggest what might be the issue as we have reported this to O2 and they have never heard of something like this issue before.
Thanks

Hi again all. today I got my M2000 (BA) for my M1000 (Himalaya) which broke last week. When I installed the TomTom software from the CD - I got a message on screen advising that the software was written for a previous version of Windows Media and there may be trouble displaying. Nice to get a warning of a problem instead of it just happening, and in this case they were right. After between 5 and 10 mins of navigation TomTom software just shuts itself down.
So can anyone help me get this stable or should I just cut my losses now and send it back to the dealer - I have 7 days to return with no obligation.
Seriously thinking of giving up on HTC technologies - If anyone can restore my faith, it would be appreciated.
Should run fine I got the same message, ignored it and had no problems. Now my Wizard that was another matter :shock:
That's what I hoped would happen - but a dozen times now TomTom has closed itself down after 5-10 mins navigation. Never had this problem on the M1000.
Progress Through Technology - excellent
Have you got the 5.21 update from the TomTom website (http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?Language=1&FID=3361)?
I've got a M2000 with TomTom and it works perfectly - never had a problem with it (other than when I was running WM5, now back on WM2003).
What speed card you using sometimes that can be a problem. If it runs for 10 Mins sounds like a card issue
First of all download the upgrade to TTN5,21 if this has no change to the problems have a look at what is causing this, it could be the Orange customer interface (all the crap software the suppliers think you need), have a dig around on this site as to how to get rid of it, O2 is just as bad! - I found ditching the customisation (O2 in my case) turned an expensive paperweight into a very good usable phone including sat nav, you need TT5,1 or higher to use with this device - otherwise you can't enter postcodes without using the inbuilt slide out unit - Mike

Hi Experts, can you kindly help me out with the following problem :
I have an o2 sim in the orbit phone & the signal seems to be lost very frequently.. I am not sure why.. Having tried to switch on between the flight mode & phone mode, it does get the signal back but not very often though .
Also tried to swith off / on the phone but still the same result.
Any ideas why the signal seems to get lost ?
Thanks in advance for your help guys
Intereference XDA Orbit
I'm having a problem with my Orbit also which sounds similar to your problem. The device works fine then it goes through a cycle of 'no signal' then 'flight mode' and occasionally there is a signal. The problem renders the phone aspect of the device useless and seems to be caused by interference of some kind (Electrical devices such as transceivers and power tools to name a few). I have tried numerous hard resets to resolve the problem but that did not work. It only starts to work properly at unexplainable intervals.
Sometimes a soft reset will temporarily resolve the problem but not for long. O2 UK have not responded to my query so make of it as you will.
I originaly had WM5 which was had the problems i've described and when i upgraded to WM6 the problems went for about 6 weeks but they have returned with the newer OS.
Any ideas anyone???
Cheers, M
O2 XDA Orbit, WM6
Hi,
after the latest hard reset I decided I could also just try out the latest M2D build 20 and found that the boot time of the device changed from roughly 1min to over 4mins even after deinstallation of M2D. Also the performance behaviour of the device after the deinstallation was quite unacceptable. Does anybody else has experienced similar?
ROM is original WM6 o2 ROM (GER).
Yes I have a similar problem, with several Orbits...
We have developed our own app for these, but after sometime - could be days or weeks, the PDA will just go so slow within Windows, even when our software isn't running.
Theres nothing I can see thats obviously wrong, and I know that a hard reset will fix this.
Are there any diagnostic tools out there for PPC, or something that could help us get to the bottom of this?
Thanks.
Using WM5.0 O2 rom - I think there are other Orbits with the same problem that are using WM6/wm6.1 - still the O2 rom though..
Hello there,
What I Have: Att 8525 Herm100
Rom: Att's Mobile 6
Everything is stock but the extended life battery
The problem I am having is when ever I try to activate my WiFi the phone doesn't do anything. I am not sure if there is a wifi card or not but that's want I want to know. I have tried everything from activating it in com manager to going into the settings and activating it manually and nothing happens it acts like I didn't even hit the button to activate it. Is there a wifi card in the phone or is it integrated on the motherboard in the phone. Note: I bought this phone off e-bay and the wifi never worked when I received the phone.
I am new here and if there is a post about this already I am sorry.
I hate it when that happens.
To begin, there were two ATT OEM WM6 roms relevant to the 8525 that I noticed deep in the bowels of XGA.
I chose the later file (higher revision numbers) I found it here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
From comm manager when I click the tower button on within a second the spinning windoze icon shows something is happening. It then starts "sniffing" for my preset wifi connection (ATT supplied 2wire portal 802.11g).
Now, if yours does not show the spinning windoze working icon when you turn on wifi? There obviously is a problem. This could be software, or hardware related (duh). If there is no error message related to "wifi is not an option, unavailable, or screwed" then my first guess is there is something missing or damaged in the ROM update that was applied to your device. As far as I know all 8525 (herm100) were shipped with wm5. It had been mentioned in the volumes of xda that the first AT&T WM6 rom was a little buggy. Try the later released AT&T WM6 update.
It was a run file so no muss no fuss. Sync the phone run the update from the pc, three minutes later the phone is flashed to ATT WM6 professional.
You could take it to a ATT shop? But, I think that without a doubt they would hand it back and say you need a new phone with a 20 year contract and 3g data plan even Obama would blush at.
Try the hard reset. take a picture of the startup screens so you have the numbers and see if the wifi startup is working after the reset. If not then compare the numbers to the above mentioned roms. If the indications are you have the first issue of WM6 from ATT try flashing the second release. If that still fails then your device could indeed have a hardware problem.
The wifi is indeed built into the system and if that chip on the board is not working it could be a overly expensive problem. Possibly a shop has a working board they would swap out cheap? Otherwise, it is a fun phone you can keep notes on, run gps software if you have a bluetooth gps receiver and software like tomtom.
To be honest the wifi on my 8525 has been convenient when around the house to check the local weather radar when I hear a thunder outside, or browse headlines from the porcelain room or even leave messenger turned on incase a gamer friend is looking for someone to get shot up in a game.
I have used the live search voice thing to amaze the neighbors once. But, the limited range of wifi is a real drawback to how truly wonderful that addition could be.
HELP Please! Wi-Fi not working!!!
Hi to XDA all users !!!
MY Hermes - HTC TyTN [Herm200]
I bought HTC Hermes myself year ago.
there was flashed a WM5.0, I've just downloaded from here HARD SPL & WM6,1 (Custom) Flashed.
Wi-Fi will works on WM5.0.
Well here I am at 6.1 flashed and now is not working Wi-Fi. When i pressed Power ON - loading long and nothing happens.
Other methods are also tried on Commanager and Settings - but did not help.
What do I need to do my dear.
HELP!
Thank you for your attention!
Hi Nurk.
Since the wifi worked on wm5 but failed after the 6.1 flash. I would guess the problem is in the 6.1 components. You might start with contacting the kitchen rom you employed for WM6.1 thread and see if this has happened to others. Next step would be to check the radio rom version. I did see on xda an assortment of Radio roms.
If your not totally in love with the current rom you have flashed? Try another 6.1 or even a 6.5 and see whats poppin.
and what you have in HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\DeviceName?
