Hi folks,
It seems I have quite a major issue with my device in that I can't type anything without the machine freezing-up... To narrow down the issue I've tried a few different things and it seems to be a software issue rather than hardware issue because it also happens when typing using Cerdisp (this circumventing the physical keyboard/hardware used to type)
Does anyone else know of these issues by chance?
Device Information
ROM version: 3.30.0.1

I'm thinking about rolling-back to my default Orange WM5 OS at the moment as my phone is pretty much useless except for calls
I used to get it sometimes with the custom roms.. When I woudl send a txt message as soon as I hit a letter the backlight would go off along with the keyboard lights and then a couple seconds later it would turn back on.. is this similar to the problem you are having?
No no, I've had the problem you speak of in the past but it's not that... What happens at the moment is a complete system freeze. The text stops being entered and the cursor just sits there blinking and won't let yu enter any more. Then if you close the keyboard it doesn't switch back to landscape. If you then hit "start" the menu comes up but that then doesn't work and it just gets completely tied-up in knots until you have to soft reset it
UPDATE: Vid is available here (very apt music if I do say so myself! )

Hmmm... I've been perusing MrVanx's Downgrade Guide (http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27) but the ROM I'm looking to downgrade to is a pre-packed .exe I've downloaded from my official provider's website...
MrVanx's guide states:-
NOTE: If your radio version is currently HIGHER than 1.27.00.00 then it is very likely the radio bootloader is version 0108, this WILL NOT allow the radio to be downgraded to a radio containing BL 0106 and will result in a "NO GSM" error.
I have Radio Version 1.41.00.10 as mentioned before so that puts me in a bit of a catch 22... How can I find out if the ROM contains BL 0106?
EDIT: I found a thread on here for a new Orange ROM and someone had tested that it was downgradable from WM6 so I ran the installer on that version (up until the version screen appeared) and the same with the downloaded version from Orange website and they were the same version so I've now successfully downgraded using Force SSPL.
did you find a quick fix to the text messaging problem? i noticed the system freezes when i type "w" and "n" also when i type "w" right after the word "it" i cant type "it Was" without the machine freezing...im using funkeys rom and it's great but im concerned now because the only reason i switched from blackmajic was because the same keyboard problem was occuring...what could it be?
Did a resolution ever come out of this? I have the some problem and it is driving me nuts. I can type the alphabet but if I enter a full stop and the type i, my pda changes it to an upper case and it locks up. same if it tries to change it mid sentence from a lower case i to an upper case I. Any ideas?

I have just joined the community and updated my TYTN to 4.31 ROM - look great
I was wondering if anyone is facing my problem:
I have set in the Pwer settings to "turn off the device after XX minutes"
The device does turn itslef off, but it seems that only soft reset can get it back on!
The hard buttons are not responding, the devce cannot even accept calls!
Did anyone face the same problem and manage to resolve it?
As a workaround, I am currenty using, Not to trun off the device, which probably consumes alot of battery!
no i don't have this problem it is working OK with me with same schaps rom 431
did you update your bootloader? I would hard reset again. If that doesn't work then try to reflash. Make sure your bootloader was updated first though.
Lets me see if I got this straight
When I load the RGB screen, I see this information in the RED block:
HREMES200
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro
The Device information shows
ROM Version: Schap's 4.31
ROM date: 10/03/07
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
What is the bootloader exactly?
What should I select when I run the Schap's 4.31 ROM, there are several options there
BTW - the OS is SLOW, is that how it is with every wm 6.1 for Hermes devices?
I got confused when I first flashed a different rom (after installing HardSPL Olipro) - I just choose Safe SSPL as a tutorial recommended I do, and I've flashed three ROMs now without an issue just by using the Safe SSPL option.
After reflashing (and updating to hardSPL) I managed to find out the problem - it was the hebrew language by Orange which has casued this.
After removing it all worked well (almost)
I have a imported DIA100 phone, and trying it on the T-mobile network here in the states. everything was fine up until today when i upgraded my phone to the 1.93 series, now it randomly shuts off, and it cannot connect to the T-mobile network, keeps saying (searching). I don't know what's going on, I reflashed the device and it still does the same thing, infact it might even be worse now. Restarting the phone doesn't work, as it keeps restarting from the boot. Anyone have any idea what to do? I'm going back to 1.35.

i too have many problems with 1.93.456.2 WWE baserom. somehow, it just doesn't seem so stable ... not sure if many others are feeling the same for 1.93 roms. i guess 1.37.456.2 ME WWE is still the most stable at the moment...
if only we can have a review on all official rom consolidated in one thread.
Sprite?
Did you use Sprite to backup your previous rom and store it in 1.93xxx?
This could be the cause.

Yes i had same problems. imo the 1.93 isnt a stable rom(yet) so im back with 1.37.456.2 this one is just perfect,very stable,less memory leakage.
Well, the problem is still on going. I can't flash my phone anymore for some reason, even though I've tried both, unsigned and signed Hard-SPL, which both of them flash fine. However, the phone gives me error [276] update error. So not sure what exactly is going on here.
Also, no, didn't sprite backup, phone's just being retarded, mobilecityonline will repair it, but it will take almost 4-6weeks, I cannot wait that long. What else should i try?
Okay, nope not fixed... Flashed it with 1.37, connected to the network for a few seconds, dialed somebody and no ring or anything, but when i called my phone i could hear my own voice. So I guess i have to send it in for repair. Damn.

Could you please detail? I've flashed 1.93.xxx just in the day it appeared on the site and after flashing, I've restored the backup made with Sprite Backup to preserve the settings and so on. I wasn't worried about the contacts/calendar since I have them in Outlook, but I didn't want to start all over with settings, install programs and so. I've made the restore in "upgrade mode", restoring also the databases. The result was that I got a verry strange TF3D, displaying "Home" between the operator name and date, and strange behaviour. I've seen also that the animations were taken out so I've flashed back 1.37.xxx.3. Could be any problems generated by the restore operation? Should I use a different restore type (eventually not selecting "restore databases")?
I have had no problem with the new 1.93xx rom.
Touch FLO 3d is quicker (probably because the animation is disabled)..
and the battery life is about 20% better
Radio ROM Anyone
Sounds like the Radio...
What version is everyone on? The 1.93 ROM updates the Radio, have you tried downgrading to 03?

I am on 05 and has no problem ( have been using it for a day now)
I don't know, but If i plug the diamond into my adapter, the network suddenly works and I can actually make calls and everything's fine and dandy, but just on the battery, I can't call anyone, and if I pull out the adapter when the phone gets a signal, the signal stays but again, can't call anyone because i can't hear anything.
It's an awkward problem. I'm not sure if it's my battery or something. So I'm getting another battery off ebay since they don't sell HTC Touch Diamonds in the U.S. yet.
I've been having random freezes with the 1.93.xxx
Anybody else experienced that?

THe Problem you've encountered:
1. Random auto reboot
2. Random freeze
3. etc.
It's sounds familiar to me. Well it's maybe have to do with SPL just like the Kaisers do.Well, I said maybe... So, what we did to our Kaiser before is flashing the HardSPL which has the same version number as the ROM flashed. So, if you're using ROM 1.93 then the HardSPL should be flashed is Olinex HardSPL 1.93 or you can try one by one of the developed HardSPL existed in this forum. My saying is, go with HardSPL 1.93 and see what happen. If it's still no go then it must have to do with the ROM itself.
Just my 2cents.
My ATT 8525 is running
ROM version 2.15.502.3
ROM Date 04/09/07
Radio version 1.40.30.00
protocal version 32.73.7020.16H
I've been having problems with my screen fading out to white, physical send and recieve buttons not always working, and alarms that restart after every on/off cycle of my phone. Despite unchecking all the alarm boxes. I've done soft resets, to no avail. Have not done a hard reset yet.
I downloaded the WM 6 file from the ATT site back when it was available, but never installed it.
My question, Is this SW or HW trouble and might an upgrade to WM 6 fix these problems? I'm trying to keep this unit running until I can get hold of the Touch Pro 2, or whatever ATT is going to call it.
hmm.. normally a default rom would fix most software issues.. its unsure if your problem is due to hardware issues..
from my point of view.. it seems like a hardware issue.
flash out the AT&T striped without the radio and try it out.. if its software issues.. most probably its gonna be fixed.
well if it doesnt fix.. tat should mean a hardware issue.
jus keep flashing rom until u find the right one.
Thanks for the reply

So, you flashed the ROM and the device didn't switch on? Then you used mtty and everything went well, but now you don't know what to do? Try another ROM for your device. If your phone has USB at the top and bootloader version numbers at the bottom - you are in bootloader mode, ready to flash.
Tml_wm61_21028_regular_64mb

Perhaps your battery has to be changed
Radio improves signal and also afects on battery, for Tomal ROM´s the most recommended are:
1.18
1.17
1.15
You can find them in the Wiki or in the fttp, or using search button

Radio is your GSM carrier signal picker and cannot be 0.0.0. Different Radio versions allow you to pick up signal better or worse, depending on many factors, such as tower proximity, location, obstructions etc. Higher Radio version number does not necessarily mean better, but in many cases there can be an improvement in reception. Different ROMs work better with particular Radio versions and the ROM creator will generally recommend the Radio to use with his ROM, based on testing. Sometimes you may find other version works better for you than others.
I suggest for you to try and flash your original ROM, the one that was on your device out of the box. The original ROM package comes with everything you need in 3 parts - OS, Radio and ext ROM. Once you have all 3 established and your device working properly, you can eliminate your device as being the culprit, which leaves a battery.
The problem you described might sound like a battery problem, not sure whether you described your Radio problem correctly, but if that's the case you can try flashing Radio only and see if it solves the problem. Although without any Radio (and custom ROMs come without Radio), I don't see how you could use your device as a phone at all.

My guess is your button is jammed or PCB is damaged as the worst case scenario.
Hi there!
I'm new to this whole thing, however I managed, with some help from a friendly guy on the IRC channel to get my device rooted. First thing was to downgrade my firmware as it was too high (1.84) to 1.34, I think. After this downgrade I noticed that the keyboard has become buggy and the WiFi not working.
I then flashed a new ROM (wiping first etc) built on firmware 1.85. The problem with the _Keyboard_ persisted, the WiFi issue was now fixed. Then I installed CM 7.0.3 (wiping first etc) and it works wonderful, however the keyboard issue still persist...
What I mean when I say the keyboard is buggy:
It's only a few letters to the right of the keyboard, and I think the keys are, I, K, M, L, O and P. Sometimes it will not react when pressing the key other times it will print out the letter TWICE. The problem persists in caps lock mode, but IS NOT an issue when being in FN / ALT mode (Special-characters-mode)
I did not drop the phone or anything, and have never-ever experienced it like this before. But I felt this bug like 5 minutes after downgrading...
I really do not hope this is a hardware issue.
Regards
