So, it seems to be a good rom
But I get constant hangups...my device freezes (today apps running are spb pocketplus and weather, windows live search and handyswitcher)
Any known problems?
My memory card keeps dissappearing also, I know that has been a reoccurant hermes problem but the xda fix did not help.
ALSO...
IS THERE ANY WAY TO REMAP THE Messages softkey buttons?
The WM5 had "new" on the left rather than delete....I want the "new" to be mapped there...
any way to do that? THANKS!
SPB PocketPlus and/or Weather would be my guess... most likely Plus and Diary if you are using that one. As much as I love my SPB PocketPlus and Diary, they have caused every single ROM to date to freeze at one point or another. They cause the device to slow down noticeably too. But I can't live without either of them now, so I deal.
Since PocketPlus has quite a few hooks into the OS, I would guess that it doesn't play too nicely with WM6 yet.
a few problems
With my 8525 I'm having a problem with the amber notification light not blinking when you have a missed call or new voice/text message. For some reason I can’t get it to turn on.
Also don't know how to activate system sounds in this rom besides just screen taps. i.e. the sound the phone makes when you press the start button or when selecting a program. I see the sound files in the windows directory but they are never played.
Lastly I'm having issues with mms, my cingular 8525 wont let me configure my mms server settings for cingular. It lets me type in the info but it doesn't do anything when I press ok.
If anyone has any fixes for these problems, I would be most greatfull.

My phone also keeps freezing, its only ever done it while in standby not while i'm actually using it. I go to turn the screen on and it just wont turn on and i have to softreset, if i phone the phone it just rings out (down the phone) but the device doesnt turn on or ring or anything.
The only today plugin i have is pocketbreeze, i've installed a couple of apps but sometimes it'll freeze without me opening any of them so i doubt one of those. I also get my mail via directpush.

Me too having the same freezing problem, where the screen is off and never on again, no matter what button I push (except for the 1 mighty reset).
And I am having spb diary running all the time, too useful.
Funny thing is, I never try uninstall the thing to see if it mades the phone more stable. Will try sometime when the next freeze comes.
Freezes and not waking up ...
... several times per day. It looks of this only happens when the phone is on, not when the phone is in flight mode. I installed several programs, but already uninstalled SPB Pocket Plus and SPB Time (but still have SPB Diary, SPB Imageer and SPB Weather installed with their services in the start-up after every reset). I need to soft reset to wake up the phone again
Who is facing the same issues and are there any solutions? Thanx in advance
Maybe a next update will fix the freesing/wake up problems.
For the rest i must say that wm6 is absolutely signifcant faster than the old i-Mate wm5 rom.

No Freezes or instability with Radio 1.34.00.10
Only 2 Freezes directly after ROM-Upgrade, but since then never again, and my device is running 24/7

Is it possible to only upgrade my radio and if yes how???
yes it is possible and very simple...Download the file, connect your hermes via activesync and run the file !
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Cooked_ROMs/HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL.rar
===============UPDATE==============
The application was the SPB Fullscreen Keyboard v4.11 that was the culprit, verified over 3 hard resets that this is the offending program.
I hope this saves anyone else from going through the grief I have suffered. I completely forgot to include it on my list below so I am glad I had the patience to test one more time. (I ussualy forget to install it, then go to txt message or something and install it).
==================================
I am pretty much at wits end here and am preparing to return this huge lump of crap to the store. It seems that if I install "pretty much anything" and NOT use the touch-flo garbage... the phone will work great.... until i need or want to soft-reset it....
then the logo comes up, the ROM/RADIO numbers, and then the screen turns black, to never come on again.
Having worked for Sprint for 5 years, and moreover having built my own custom roms at PPCGeeks for 2 years I feel that I have a pretty good grip on the ins & outs of windows mobile.
I have NO clue what is going on with this phone.
I have three of them in my possession. It happens on all three.
I install each application, ONE-AT-A-TIME, soft reset after every single install, its fine. I wait a day or so, soft reset... SURPRISE you gotta redo your phone.
I have narrowed it down to a few programs that *may* be the cause of my irritation...
-Phonealarm (overrides the notifications...???)
-Ptravelalarm (and three other alarm programs) notification flaw???
-Memmaid (deals with notifications...???)
I dont expect anyone to know the answer, maybe someone else is having this issue (i hate Touch-Flo) and is trying to install programs to make the handset usable from the today-screen.
I am going to list my installed programs, and maybe, just maybe, someone smarter than myself can pinpoint the culprit.
-batti 2.4
-calendar plus
-sbp fullscreen keyboard 4.11
-google maps 3.21 (never GPS locks btw)
-iContact 95
-phonealarm 2.30
-pTravelalarm 2.81
-Resco File Explorer 7.05
-rlToday v22b
Thats it, thats all i use on my phone, im a creature of simplicity. On the todayscreen i have phonealarm, rltoday, ptravelalarm, calander+
I went to the forums for both phonealarm & memmaid, and there doesnt seem to be any threads with my issue. ptravelalarm has no support, but I have tried g-alarm, gsalarm & poweralarm, and they all seem to fail as well.
Again I cant narrow it down to a single application because after an install and reset it works fine. Its like "after the program simmers" that it wants to "Black-Screen" the phone.
I am 100% sure that a custom ROM will alleviate all of my issues as I am using all of those programs on a 6800 and a 6900, with WM 6.1 & WM 6.5 respectively.
They even work on the stock roms for both handsets....
Any ideas? How far out is the HARD-SPL? I have about 3 weeks left before I have to return these things.
Thank you for reading, and any help that may be forthcoming.
I'm having the exact same issue, it's very frustrating to pay $400+ for a phone only to have it blackscreen of death you every time you try to boot it up. Touchflo seems nice but it just adds extra button presses to what should be straightforward tasks. I hope things turn around but right now I'm not impressed.
Hi All,
Using official htc sea wm 6.5
1
=================
Anyone encountered this so called memory leak before??
Try this:
Lock screen by going Start (honeycomb) then lock
I noticed if i lock the screen memory uses up ALOT whole faster... within half a day it hits to 78% used... When incoming calls, screen does not show, but phone vibrates, i press the answer and phone picks up ok... other functions like sms and emails works ok, but alot slower too.
2
==============
I'm also using a mp3 ringtone though.. not such if this caused it, i have actually shorten and compressed the file already, was 7mb, drop to 3mb to 1.8mb now to 1mb...
I noticed when calls comes in, the screen does not lag that much (earlier issue does not happen in this assumption)...
3
==============
Camera application if activated in my pocket (Mis-press, i current assume so..) for unknown amount of time, i notice it and close it.. applications fail to launch properly...
Bottom menus (the phone(left), camera(right) on home screen etc) all dont work anymore.. it jus does not display out properly..
Top menus (close button etc) also does not display properly.. say i press start button (top right on home screen), the top menus bar changes to light blue, but honeycomb on main windows does not come out. No close button on top right either, but i can still close it (looks like not rendered properly of sorts)
TouchFlo3d works still though... i can rotate around phone, contact etc etc
4
==============
Memory uses up alot faster... after i soft reset the phone.. memory hovers at 50%, within an hour will go up to 61% odd.. but stabilizes... phone can be used ok..
5
==============
There are occasional random crashing of god knows what.. sometimes during sms i notice theres a popup of errors in some service of sorts... notice happens during sending sms mostly...
6
==============
Screen auto changes between landscape and portrait mode, sometimes it auto recovers, else, i need to slide out keyboard for awhile, wait for it to stablise, then close keyboard. Not sure if this is the result of taking out from the lather pouch??
Anyone noticed or encountered all these before?? HELP!! ; ;
Program installed:
==============
Google Maps (Update)
Batti
Carmin Mobile XT
Windows Live (Update)
NoPushInternet
MarketPlace
Youtube (Update)
WorldMate Live Installer
WorldMate Live
SKTools
MySoftReset
All programs have been there more or less for a few months already... The programs indicated with (update) means i updated further from default.
Is this a software thingy probably that a hard reset could solve it, or this is more like a thingy that needs to go into service center??
1. That sounds normal. I was using the official HTC WinMo 6.5 ROM a while back and I remembered that the RAM usage stabilized at around 75%. This is regardless whether you use the lockscreen or not.
2. Don't know what you mean...
3. Sounds like a one-off thing. Can you replicate the problem consistently?
4. This is normal. Goes for all WinMo devices.
5. Sounds like an issue with your carrier's network.
6. My best guess is that the magnet on the pouch is affecting the screen rotation.

Are u using any mp3 ringtone? Does it have any issues if we use a big mp3 as ringtone??
Noticed if i use a big file, when calls/sms comes in, phone will "lag" and vibrate with no display of incoming call...if you press call(pickup) button, it ok ok..

I use a 1MB mp3 file. Works fine for me. But I can see that it makes sense for there to be a lag if a large file was used. Lesson here is: try to use small sound files for performance!

one thing..
for issue 3, its happening at random.. happened maybe a total of 3 times... i do not actually see a pattern as or yet..
for issue 5, i get this Microsoft error that says some process has crashed and need ask if i want to send the report to microsoft or not.. dont think this is related to carrier..
My touch pro2 usually works great, but from time to time becomes agonzingly slow loading programs or doing anything. This can last for quite a few minutes and means if I want to quickly use my phone for something, it takes ages or I just give up and try later when all is back to normal.
Task manager showed me when this happened the filesys.exe process was running at 30-50%. Googling this lead me to all the many pages about the compaction process on WM5+ devices. However these almost all relate to dell axims, and no one seems to be having problems with the touch pro 2.
I have searched the rhodium forum on here and can find no mention of this problem - are other TP2 users just not having this problem?
I am running pocket informant 9 and wonder if all the smaller memory writes it does when i'm using it make this problem appear more often. Am also using SPB pocket plus.
Any ideas? There is loads of free memory on the phone.
Jon
Same Here
It makes the phone extremely frustrating to use. I have found that the official TP2 6.5 ROM is woeful with it, while a Windows Mobile Power User ROM that I am running is acceptable so far.
Nice device, pity about the OS
Well, I can't see any reason why it can't be configured so any necessary compacting gets done at night when i'm not using the phone. A similar cab file was made for the dell on WM5, so i'm not sure if such a tweak exists for wm6.
I tried cyanogenmod6, VaniljEclair RLS7c, polyrhythmic 2.1d, myn's warm donut, even the first froyo...
and I run into the same problems.
1. Some games/apps like Shoot U! Lite, Zenonia and AN3D Benchmark, appear with the graphics heavily distorted, like someone changed it to a diamond shape and scaled it to lengthen the aspect ratio. The app, however works, stuff move around when I touch the screen, but the screen remains distorted. (see the attachment)
2. Android is a tad faster than the windows mobile but I would like to make it even faster, any thoughts?
3a. If I call this phone and close immediately as I hear the beep ( sort of under one second ), the android phone either just vibrates and does nothing, either does nothing and doesn't display someone called. It seems that it needs about 1-2 seconds after the beep the caller hears in the phone, to display someone is calling.
3b. When in an app and when you get called, it shows a black screen, vibrates, and after some good 8-10 seconds, it displays the call screen.
4. How do I access the files on it? It won't mount when I connect it to the pc via usb.
5. When I connect it to a pc with windows 7, it randomly repeats the notification tone and displays I connected it via usb with a pc.
1 and 3a/3b are the most important...
Thanks.
1. can't help you with this
2. Try not to use widgets, as much as possible. I found my device to hang alot, especially with the flip clock widget. installing many programs may affect performance too. use only necessary stuff
try installing the latest kernel, this helps a little as well.
3. OK:
A). I have the same issue, but I think most people won't hang on you after two rings
B). Never had this problem. maybe the app you are using requires great amount of memory, and nothing is left for the phone app. I guest guessing though...
4. Best thing is to use memory card reader.. I tried alot to get ADB working on windows 7 with no luck, the drivers are not available. I read somewhere that if you use Ubuntu, things are much easier
I still don't know how to copy files to the system... I wish someone else could help with this.
5. Again, it's the drivers.. I find this notification tone very irritating.. I just put my device on vibrate, and call it even
3b. this happens to me also. you can answer with green button if you dont need to see who is calling. download taskiller to keep unused background stuff closed
4. if you reboot and hold down the dpad, you can select recovery mode and you will be able to connect to pc.
Well, the 5. seems to have gone away in the latest cyanogenmod builds.
On the 2. , the problem seems to be with multitasking , that's what stresses my kaiser. If I run one game, it goes well. If while I have the game launched, I try to switch to desktop or if someone calls me and launches the dialer, thing go slow.
Also for 5: go to Settings>Sound And Display> then un-check "SD Card notification"
1.
which rom are you using? NAND or SD haret.. if NAND change "panel" in your NBH with nbh editor (is somewhere in this forum, just use search)
2.
You can use Roguetools is overclocking CPU.. max set on 520MHz higher is dangerous for your phone. i think only one disadvantage of it is higher consumption and higher temperature but its not anything bad...
3a+b.
point 2 can help to you.
4.
On phone you can use Astro file manager.. it is on Market.. and through PC? you have 2 options.. first you can unplug SD Card and plug it to adapter and to pc.. or second - you can download FTP Server from Market, and you can connecting to it from your computer through ftp client..
5.
Its problem of Kaiser and Vogue.. now it dont working.. maybe later..
I wanna know any possibility to make my android faster too.
It goes really slow. If I do nothing, like switch between desktop. It's as smooth as even G1.
Once I run something.. and try to switch back to
Desktop. Or try to run calender(whatever build. Calender is slow in all of thm.)
I tried latest kernal. Yet still slow.
Is that possible to change cpu or add some more ram?
I really like keyboard with android.

It's not possible to change the CPU or RAM, since these are not computers with changeable components, however there are a few things you can do to make things run a little smoother, cut down on the work the processor does by disabling a lot of the eye candy in settings/spare parts, use the 'keep launcher in memory' option, try swapper2, to set up a swap file or even swap partition, cut down on widgets, if you don't use it it will still take up memory and cpu cycles.
I have also noticed that 2.2 eats available memory for breakfast, even on my G1 it will start to get really slow after a while, and is often as low as 5-7Mb free ram, and I've noticed kaiser versions do much the same.
Lets face it, at 400MHz the kaiser is about the same as a stock G1, which is fine on donut, or eclair, but really struggles with froyo, and it has the advantage of a little extra memory and scalable clock.
The fastest setup I have found is nand flashed with Polymod 2.1D, or Myn's Warm Donut, every froyo build I have tried gets too slow, even on my G1.

I am using only SD, too chicken to try NAND yet... Maybe when I get a desire or galaxy S...
It seems on Froyo, It rings from the first beep, it launches almost all games, no more tearing and goes well. It's a bit slower than eclair, but hell, it's getting there alright!
So the remaining are 2, 3b, 4 and 5. I am glad I can play zanonia .
I am AMAZED by the power of this forum, I never thought android can run on a 3 year old phone that has absolutely no connection to android.
@hitakeane
Disable all animations and all transition efects, fades, etc.
Disable all wireless data connections
Enable 2g only
Use Launcher Pro with as less widgets and home screens as possible ( I use only 2 home screens)
Use Advanced Task Manager ( blue icon ) and close all.
Disable all synchronizations, data transfers, etc
Uninstall what you do not use.
Reboot OS
Wait till it's warming up (the os), it goes terrible when it's cold.
Use this froyo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715402
It's the fastest for me.
And just wait... It takes alot of hard work to optimize it. A few weeks ago, it didn't even have a camera And now, even youtube plays fluidly ( not on hq ). And the only problems are the performance, battery life and usb connectivity.
Good luck!

Hmm, I've been running Incubus26Jc's Froyo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712310) for some time now, and for me it's equally fast as the 2.1 VaniljEclair I ran before. You might want to try that one, I'm pretty satisfied. Still not as fast as a phone should work though, but it's better than WiMo.
How does it run after installing a few games and apps and you start putting some widgets?
What radio version do you have? Super froyo lags alot on my kaiser...
I'm using radio 1.71.09.01 if I remember correctly. I don't have a lot of applications installed on Android indeed, nor do I have any games. So maybe it'll get slower if I install more stuff, but so far so good for me.
I had 1.71 and I had some problems with it.
1.65.21.18 is what I use now, and It's better imho: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2210513&postcount=3
But be careful, they say radio is dependent on your location and network .
I know exactly what number 1 is. I've been experimenting and I found out some games don't support QVGA (240×320) and they show up distorted like that. So I tried 320×420 and 320×480 AND they show up normal. So basically the app you got wasn't compatible with QVGA resolution.
Sent from my HTC Kaiser using XDA App
Maybe that's the problem, however, even if froyo isn't still quite optimized for my kaiser, yet, all the games I had a problem with, now run like a charm in froyo.
One more update, do you know why I can't get more than 11 mb of ram free when I close all apps? Maybe that's why it runs so slow...
I have a Kaiser 130 and i have a display issue i tried changing 3-4 androids - 2.2 Froyo, 2.1 Enclair but nothing changed ... My screen still looks like crap
PLEASE HELP ME
Way to necropost?
Could you help me ,please or not?
If you create a thread with more description of your problem then yes. Include what kernel you are using, what panel type, any other pertinent settings and what build. Also does the screen work fine in WM. Those are good details to include rather then going to a almost 6 month old thread and saying I have this issue to!
