when i first upgraded to wm6 with LVSW (initial release 19-05-2007) i had no SOD issues.
after long time i heard this http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ht...tc-europe-wm6-rom-upgrade-available-here.html and upgraded without hesitation. Now my phone having SOD.
so, who's not having SOD (sleep of that) with which ROM?
what the hell are you on about man?
excuse me?
I think he meant Sleep Of Death (SOD)
No offence, nolovelust, but if you want to get more help, you should be more elaborate with your post, give more information. You might as well just type "Which ROM doesn't have SOD?". You'll get a lot head scratchings Try to be more informative next time.
ok Which ROM doesn't have SOD
5 8525's running Majik for almost a week, not one SOD. I modified the glychcache, keep my IE temp, cookies and history on the SC along with attachments. Is the only ROM where I couldn't go an entire day without a freaking SOD.
I've never had SOD issues...
Black Dymond
Still haven't flashed to Shadow or Majik because it's been so stable.
I'm afraid to fix what ain't broken at this point.
I did have to do a hard reset and re-install apps about 3 weeks ago.
I found a bunch of memory leaks, and now it's even faster and sturdier...
Heck, I don't even know exactly what SOD looks like (thank goodness), but with a name like that, I'm sure I'd damn well know and be upset about it if it happened.
I've been running vp3G's WM6 v2.0 - RTM for a week now and haven't even had a soft reset, which never happened under WM5. I'm running Pocket Music; Opera; Newsbreak; NoData; DictMgr; Spb Backup and SpbFinance.

I have been running Sleuth's new ROM for about a week and I get at least one SOD a day (sometimes more). However, this is with keeping Mail attachments, IE files, and programs installed on my storage card. Out of all the recent ROMs, I think I had the best luck avoiding the SOD with vp3G's 3-19 ROM.
I just love the speed and stability(besides dang SOD) of Sleuth's ROM so much that I have been willing to deal with the SOD (although a fix would be GREAT)

Would you mind sharing your tweaks?
I'm also running Majik and have not had a Sleep of Death since taking off Mobile Shell and ALL SPB (returned to SBSH and now testing phone alarm).
What are your cache settings and how does it respond?
Thanks.

Im running Sleuth's rom at the moment and i was having quite much SOD issues in the beginning... After i uninstalled all my programs from SD card and installed them back to the Tytn's memory, i didnt get any SOD for a while... But in few days the problem was back..
I figured out the reason for the problem; Im saving my emails to the SD card and if my today screen is having the unread email's message, when my PPC goes to sleep: SOD, not always but had it many times.
Now im just opening all the downloaded emails once, even if I have read it at home...
After figuring that out Tytn hasnt died once, solid as a brick...
And my email send/receive is set to manual...
@ntr - 32768. I left the fs cache to auto.
@sane - what good is email if I can't keep attachments on the SC?
My attachement are saved to the SD, but the point for me was, to read emails when receiving... Not to leave that 5 unread email's notification on my today screen...
Reading the emails seem to have fixed the problem, no SOD's after that. Before, at least once a day...
I am running Black Magic with all of the programs suplied by jj, pimp my black, slide to unlock, and some other programs.
I do not have any SOD, or other problems that are not M$'s creation.
Last time I had that problem was on LVSW 3/26. No issues on LVSW 4/23, LVSW 5/7, VP3G hybrid or latest Sleuths hybrid. ALL ARE GREAT ROMS!!!
I have Sleuth's new ROM installed and no SOD at all. I highly recommend it!
@wpbear which version are you using in this list?

Hi, Ive just upgraded my Orbit from B&B 3.7 to B&B 4. Everything went well, ROM was running like a dream. After a while of tinkering and using it I noticed a few random issues:
1 - Power button: suddenly stops turning screen back on. Screen turns off OK, but will not turn on again. Soft-reset is needed to startup again.
2- Sound disappearing: sound randomly disappeared for no reason. Have removed HTCHome from today (due to known issue) and it wasnt that. I have nothing on today screen, no running programs, nothing loading at startup. All of a sudden after about 5 resets it came back on.
3 - Blue Rollr-ball and scroll wheel: did work when first flashed device, but now no longer respond, in any menu or window the blue light does not even come on (although does come on when first booted and when screen turned off).
4 - Battery life depleted? - seems to drain battery quicker than normal (although this may be due to me having to leave backlight on constantly as explained in point 1)
5 - Wifi : seems to only stay connected for approx 2minutes. Although it will stay connected if constantly being used (ie. if I browse page after page will work, but if I stop to read a page for minute or two I need to disconnect and re-connect)
Thats all I have noticed so far but will post any new issues.
This post is not to put Orbit user's off using B&B 4 or to disrespect Tom or his efforts at all. This is just my findings so far and hope Tom could read and add any thoughts, I do love B&B 4 its a wicked ROM and fully appreciate the work Tom has put inot building it many thanks, keep up the good work man.

tested in v4.0 don't have same problem..!
LOL all on front page huh ? I just been reading from last post I last read
Ok the HTC fix is the only thing I can find there, not sure if it has fixed the sound thing yet I will let you know. The Red end call button works also, dont know why that wasnt working earlier. But the other issues remain:
Power button still wont turn screen back on after switched off or locked device using device lock.
Blue Rollr-ball and sroll wheel not working at all
Wifi not lasting very long ( although I think I read posts elsewhere about tht so not too worried )
Any thoughts on the hardware buttons anyone ?
Nope, sound gone again. Installed the HTChome fix (both weather and tab, then tab and weather) still no joy. It was working for a period, now its gone off again. Any time any sort of sound tries to come from the speaker I just recieve a high-pitched "ding" then no more sound until reset.

Sad your having such a rough time but to make sure its not your device, have you reflashed an original ROM and checked your handset to make sure these problems have gone away. Also, how about reflashing the BB v4.0 ROM again and see if it improves, others prior have posted success after a reflash.
I'm happy these BB ROMs have worked flawlessly from first flash (except with known bugs).
Good luck to you on your journey.
Ok got the sound thing sorted myself. Turns out the sound will only work if I boot my Orbit up while plugged into my PC with Activesync running. Its not a USB thing, Ive tried with just my charger plugged in but no sound there. I also tried loading Activesync on my Orbit before touching anything else, still no sound.
The only way I can have working sound on my Orbit is if I boot up while plugged into my PC with Activesync running ??

LOL thanks chum. Im the kind that likes to sit and figure out whats going wrong. Im trying to figure it out n leave posts here incase others have issues and maybe find a fix. Also I just cant be bothered to reflash as it takes too long to reinstall all my apps
I just flash the Artemis VANILLA 4.01 wm6.1 rom. I found it pretty unstable.
Does the software conflict with the rom?
The software I install can be run correctly on the B&B 5.0 WM6.1.
I'm confuse about this.
The problem I have:
Crash when stratting the device (in the third splash screen).
Crash suddely when using.
Once it crash I can no long start the device. Having no choice, I had to hard-reset it and configure all the things again.
It's annoying~~
Anyone have this problem or have solution please help~~~
Thanks a lot!!!
lot of people use it without anyproblem
try to flash once again
I have the same problem...
But I can soft reset it after crash by using the stylus...
And it's not compatible with some chinese software like celedial and QQ2007.
So I decided to flash 3.01 vanilla back and so far it's my best choice
Seems pretty stable on my p3300. No problem at all. It must be something with software installed.
I suggest you to try reflashing.
works great for me...
htc home, battery status, pcm....
Works great for me too, GPS, MMS, SMS, SDHC, BT the works.
all works fine for me
did you flash twice and hard reset ?
A possible programm causing problems is FTouchFlo, even without using BioScroll.
it is stable for me on HTC3300, the same felling with Vanilla 3.01. Great job!
Maybe you have some conflict in your phone. Please try to install you software package one by one for verification.
Works great for me too, all work good no crash no hang up and no BT i will back to Vanilla 3.01
I have noBT version and have noticed some bugs, it froze 2 or 3 times while under heavy load, also few times on homescreen bottom bar disapeared and once softkeys did not work.
All that was fixed with quick soft reset, so not a big issue considering that I did push it to the limit.
I still consider it to be highly usable and better than original roms. Thanks Mark.
Mine sometimes has a problem if i'm listening to music with the screen off it will sometimes just crash. Great rom otherwise though
Adam
I have same problem but it beter than B&B 5.0
I will retern back to B&B 4.2
or Vanilla 3.01
I have a cingular 8525 and now running vp3g's version of WM6. I have tried multiple roms trying to get my camera to work again but none of them seem to do the trick. I had a older version of vp3g's rom from maybe 6 months ago and everything worked fine. If anyone can help me you would make my day. Thanks!
if its a hardware issue (which it most likely is) no amount of rom flashing is gonna miraculously fix it
Well, camera worked fine previous to flash.
i also upgraded my radio... does that have anything to do with it?
try the old rom and you see if its software or hardware related...
mmm... i dont have the old rom
what was the old rom??
it was an ATT rom from vp3g when WM6 just came out.
I also ran Hard SPL v2, would that cause the camera not to work?
What error message are you getting? Old ROM in the sense, the official ROM that came with the phone WM5.0, before you put on WM6.0. Flash back to WM5.0 and see if camera works!
no error message, just... nothing. if i press camera button depending on the rom goes to pics / videos or task manager. Also noticed Flashlight and super bright dont launch. I found my old rom from september and it also did the same thing!
I may resort to WM5 i just installed wm6.1 and i like it alot... same issues still.
I had similar issues.... it's definitely hardware problem
a piece of cable which connected to camera was unplugged
brought to service center and just took about 5 minutes to repair it.
Or you could try to repair it by yourself
I dont know... it worked fine untill i flashed it!
Im running wm 6.1 now, the rom from Pays. Chose to stick with it because its the nicest of all and still has same issues.
1. No camera (loading icon comes up and goes away quickly)
2. Flash light doesnt work
3. Super bright doesnt work
4. MMS Doesnt allow "new" or allow for open settings
5. Crashes when going into any "Video's" in the picture and video viewer.
I tried WM5 from att, htc, and wm6 from att. Tried about 15-20 other popular cooked roms and they all had the same issues.
These issues didnt happen previous to my old flash, which was just a wm6 from att.
Today i did the folllowing before i noticed these issues:
Flashed HardSPL v7 (2.0)
Flashed in radio v 1.5...
Flashed in WM6.1
---then the day began!
I have also tried downloading 3rd party camera applications which also seem to be crashing on load. Im not sure what it all has to do with one another but i'd really like to get this phone back up and running 100%. Im a perfectionist and i will loose sleep over it!! HELP ME!
thanks

Yup that is exactly same symptoms like my hermes.... it happened after i flashed with wm6.1 rom, first i thought it was because of the rom.....apparently it wasn't
there was camera connector cable unattached with the mainboard
Still confuse though why it began after i flashed WM6.1 rom.
But now my camera & flashlight working perfectly fine
what about MMS?
same issue
my camara also stop functioning when I upgraded to wm6, the HTC realease for ATT 8525, when I go to the camara function it goes right to the pictures and video viewer

Have you made sure the keys are mapped correctly? if the camera button is bringing up task manager, REMAP your keys.
I have the same problem with camera. But it does not work without any reason. Additionally battery discharges very fast (from 80% to 20% during night). Flashing several roms including win 6.1 has not solved the problem. I am going to service center.
Hello all
I just installed the lastest Artemis Touch 4.01 full from meschle, and I think it^s the best ROM I've had so far.
But:
It worked like a charm for about 2 days, but then it started crashing randomly. I installed Mortplayer and TomTom right at the beginning, so that's not the reason. Sometimes it even freezes during startup, mostly the screen just won't turn on after being idle...
Is that a common problem? What might be causing this?
thanx for helping
RizzzO
i think the best solution is flashing again!i had the same and that helped in somethings.
yeah bro
it happens with me too
any solutions
pls revert
thanks
HI
It is happening to me as well.
And i realised when i select lock from today screen, it is locking. But when i do unlock it is asking password.
Any body have this problem. I am not locking anymore with main screen.
I think I found the solution: Just don't lock the device. It's working just find, as long as I don't lock the screen...what reason might that have?

I have met the same problem, please help me, thanks.
Maybe this ROM is unstable sometime, or there are some bugs that is not found so far.
Yeah, I found it to be somewhat unstable as well.
The crashing during the idle time can be prevented by not using the screen lock. But still, yesterday it crashed twice on me during a phone call...I can still hear the person, but the screen freezes.
Hoping for some bugfixes here...otherwise the ROM is really good, and fast.

I crash often too both with Touch Lite 4.01 no cube and cube version.
Now I using Artemis 4.01 Vanilla ( no touch ) very stable.
Mine works fine
Hi,
I am using O2 Xda Orbit. Touch 4.01 works great without problems. By the way :
I am not using key lock option.
The battery drains very quick and gets hot. How is yours in battery performance ? Maybe my battery is dying....
It used to work very well for me but over the last two days I experienced crashes over and over again.
I had the same problem couple days after upgrading my HTC P3300 to WM6 downloaded from the HTC site. Tried anything I could think of - all the same. At the end I flashed back to WM5 (HTC_1[1].12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP) and all problems disappeared.
Apparently WM6 isn't tested good enough.
if u r having battery problems try flashing new radio ROM 03.08.90

Same here. Sometimes I cannot turn on the screen after a phone call. But if I wait cca. 30 seconds, the screen turns on and the phone performs all actions for the key presses I made during the screen "freeze".
