I was wondering if anyone has a solution for my strange problem.
When switching on the unit from the power button there is a 20 second delay before the today screen shows up.
The backlight comes on initially and I get a black screen for about 20 seconds then the today screen loads.
If I swithc the unit off and on rapidly then there is no problem , but if I switch it off ( using the power button of course) and leave it for a few minutes I have to wait for the screen to boot.
Wierd eh?
Rom: 1.31.00WWE
Rom Date : 12/13/04
Radio: 1.06.00
Protocol: 1337.38
Ext Rom : 1.31.139WWE
Help please if you can , thanks to all.
I'm guessing it's just the programs you have running on Startup and that's how long it takes to boot.
I'm running PhotoContacts (with 301 contacts/photos), GPS Gate, vCard, Voice Command, MultiIE, GPRS Notify, and some other bits and bobs and I'm lucky if I get into mine in under 45 seconds. I know it's just the software loading that takes a while because if I remove all the startup files it boots up in a matter of seconds.
Take a look in \Windows\Startup there might be things in there you don't need loading on startup, but MOVE them out of there to somewhere else rather than delete incase you have to put them back later!
Oh and "Today plugins" as will also slow you down since it'll have to load each one of those and each plugin will have to "update" itself on the screen as well before the device is fully usable.
Hi , thanks for the reply!,
The device has had a hard reset and is not running anything on startup , I actually did a corporate install so I don't even have the O2 active gubbins going on.
Yet mysteriously the boot up is ages slow!!!!!
Its got me highly baffled and frustrated.... argh
Hmm I'm not really sure what to suggest. I cooked my Extended ROM / Got rid of everything O2 as fast as I can so I can't remember what the times were like on mine for starting up with O2's firmware. Sorry!
Hey Xanth , thanks for trying to help!
Looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and do a reflash of the rom and etc. , hope that cures it or its going to be an interesting phone call to O2.
Unless anyone else has any suggestions it seems that the flashing is my only recourse.
Just wanna start off by saying THANKS to Schaps' effort in the latest ROM, it's great!
I am currently using the 3.30c ROM and replaced the wince.nls and adjusted some font settings for Chinese support. I am also having 2 email accts (imap) setup on it which retrieves email every 15 minutes.
Here comes the problem, once a while the phone will hang, and sometimes it does not wake up from sleep. I tried to take out the storage card to see if it will activate it but it seems like not working.
The main issue I am suspecting is the memory. I think it dies every time I run several programs or have both wifi and bluetooth on, which uses a lot of memory. (oh, also GPRS).
Here are the symptoms:
1. when the GPRS is on but not being used (my emails have finished retrieving from server), I went to comm manager and tried to pair a bluetooth device with serial port, it hung...
2. while the bluetooth is on, I turned on wifi, died......
3. I reset the device, stuck at boot screen.....
4. resetted again, stuck at today screen (but I can see wifi icon is on)
5. took out the battery and stared at it for 5 minutes, put it back in, turn on, working again...
I know there is a program Oxi.. memory release which frees up program memory, but most likely I will not remember to release it once a while. So is there any other solutions? Or is there something to do with the ROM modification (Big Storage)?
Hopefully somebody will come up with a brillian answer. Thanks in advance~~~

I upgraded to WM 6 with the repackaged version of the ROM WM6 Dopod WWE 3.54.707.3 yesterday and mighty pleased with it, however I have one problem and I do not know if it is ROM related or just some setting I've screwed up in the process of changing a lot of settings.
When I turn off the phone in Comm manager and turn it on later the phone will not find the network and keeps asking for the phone pin. Entering the PIN you can see it searching on the antenna icon at top of the Today screen but then it just pops up the Phone PIN screen repeatedly.
The only way to get the phone back on is a soft reset. Pretty annoying as I turn off the phone regularly each day
Also I do not have the old flight mode/wifi balloon now when tapping on the antenna/wifi icons in main sceen, I assume this has been dropped from WM5?
Any ideas guys?

Do a Hard Reset then test the ROM out for a few days. If you are not satisfied with it try one of the cooked WM6 versions (since they are superior).
Thanks
I will play with it as you suggest, also forgot to mention the keyboard no longer illuminates :-(
My radio too is an old version 1.03.03.10. Should I upgrade it first before flasing another ROM ( I have Hard Spl loaded OK)
After adding all my email settings for different accounts and loading apps I don't feel like a change of ROM for a few more days ;-)
Thanks,
Al
i think the problem is with your radio, try any radio at least 1.23 and above
I've been on WM6 since the second day I had my hermes, about 3-4 months ago. I've been on 4 or 5 different trips on planes requiring flight mode. Various LSVW and Sleuth ROMs used with various radios from 1.38 and on...
Not once, despite many layovers, have I had an issue with the phone not coming out of flight mode.
So, in my experiance, no, not a WM6 bug.

I have almost the same problem, but in my case it doesn't ask for PIN code. If I disable PIN request, everything is fine. Try to do the same and see if it's OK. This is the first ROM with this behaviour, but I can live with it in exchange of the amazing speed and phone respondivness !
I haven't seen this problem, but I do see a problem with opening a data connection after being in Flight Mode. It tries to connect to the provider 3-4 times (with quick connects), and then fails with an unable to connect message. At that point, I need to reset in order to connect to data again.
seems to be like the same problem that i am having!! i think its linked to the SOD bug, my herm100 continously reboots the 'radio' part of the phone.. when making a call the phone shows full signal however after placing the call the signal drops before connecting and it searches again for network... im sure that the phone is doing this whilst in standby mode too (maybe linking to the SOD problem) and since you've got you pin request on it seems to be cycling and asking for a pin code!! hope we can find a solution i've tried a few things but nothing seems to cure it!
Did anybody find a solution to this? My TyTn does the same
Hi everyone,
This is my first post, I'm an IT consultant, but by no means a phone expert! I have been upgrading my HTC Universal fine over the last year, and would consider myself a beginner (especially in contrast to you guys!)
I upgraded ro Radio 1.18 and the Ultimate WM5 posted a few days ago. Really good results, and great work - however the actual phone component keeps breaking, and I have to HARD reset.
The phone screen opens fine, and when you try to make a call, it freezes that screen, although you can still return to the Today screen. I'm unable to bring back the phone screen until a soft reset - and then it all starts again.... until I finally hard reset and then I can make calls again.
I'm not going to load any software today, to see if it happens again whilst "clean", but all I had put on was voice command, and a few SPB tools and tomtom yesterday.
So I'll let you know if it goes bad again later, but I thought I'd let you know in case this issue is already raised elsewhere and the search didnt bring it up. To be honest, its not an easy problem to hunt an answer for, as the symptoms are quite generic and broad.
Thanks very much for whatever you can suggest in the meantime,
Kind regards,
Mike
Orange M5000 on O2
Hi again, phone still working ok after 9 hours - and have only done the following do far:
Activesync setup to exchange, and push activated
O2 modem gprs connection created
Dare I do anything else, before I bust it!
Cheers,
Mike
1) My opinion, it seams radio ROM 1.18 has some issues
2) Even any other Radio ROM I would suggest you to keep the phone Band in Manual (GSM or 3G). Keeping the Radio Band in "auto" and by low level signal leads that the Device keep surching for better signal and that cause the device to freeze.
The symptoms you describe sound familiair.
Only I have had the same problems with WM6 and any radio rom.
The radio always seems to get stuck, and after a couple of disabling/enabling the phone the radio really gets stuck and I can't connect to the internet anymore.
I then have to soft-reset the device once, but it usually hangs or crashes, a couple of soft-resets are needed to 'reboot' the radio rom or something.
This was with the first build WM6 roms and radio 1.15 Darkforce/Pdaviet
I don't have this problem now using the cooked WM6 roms using the second build WM6 core (new build) and radio 1.15 or 1.18
Having the same issue radio 1.18 and KDS's WM5 ultimate so just gone back to WM6 from PDA viet that I was running with no problems.
Psi
Thanks Mike for bringing up the issue.
My V1640 (Voda Uni) exhibits similar problems: phone dialer freezes & unable to exit the screen. Going back to today screen by pressing hangup button or using today start menu works fine but unable to bring back the dialer screen unless by soft reset.
Unfortunately, I can't isolate the problem yet to either the Radio Version or the OS ROM version or the Device. The freeze/hang problem appeared in WM6: L26 V7 & PDAViet 2.10.11 as well as in WM5: Js 1.90.96 & KDS Ultimate Edition using V 1.15 & 1.18 in all the above. Tried Darkforce WM6 2.10.02 last night with 1.15 radio rom & the freeze issue came up once already.
I think this is a program/app compatibility issue & now trying to find out the culprit but nevertheless would try to downgrade radio down to 1.11 & will report back any progress.
Cheers.
radio downgrade
Hello everybody! I would downgrade my Radio version, where can i find the necessary files? Which one do you suggest me? I have a qtek 9000 running wm6 2Things version.
thank you!
Hi All,
I am also running a Voda Uni upgraded last month to WM6 with Radio 1.18.00. Since then I have a problem -- I do not know if is related to the thread or not but I thought I would describe it since it relates to GSM 1.18 and GSM crashing.
When power gets low (30-50%) and I attempt a to make a call (or, more often, when I use GPRS) I get a pop-up dialog box that says "GSM Radio Crashed. Reboot in 30 seconds." The phone then kills itself and attempts to reboot. It dies completely midway through the boot. All is well again when I switch to a new battery --at least until the power gets low.

Have the same problem. I have been using thingonasprings WM6 for a month with radio version 1.15. And the last week when I try to make a call I get that dialog box "GSM Radio Crashed etc" I havent noticed if its only when battery is low (think its always low these days thoug I just bought a new one a few month ago)
hi
i have a problem some time my artemis turn off i don't now why
can any body help me please
I have the same problem
For anyone to do a proper problem determination, we need to know what rom you are using, what windows version and pref. also what applications you are running.
tanks for replay
i use mw6 i don't use any rom
but the phone turn off and the battery show 60%
tanks
i have the same problem, i used different windows 6.5 roms and at this moment i use Artemis touch 4.02 full with cube. witch is a stable rom. with this rom i never had that problem but now i have. i also tried different radio roms. anny solution?
Could it be a bad battery? My phone's been charging at 16%. I do a soft reset and suddenly it's up to 70%. Then at 60% it shuts off. I turn it back on again and I get the red flashing light signaling low battery before it shuts off again. I turn it on again later and it shows 40%. I've ordered a new battery for myself. Hasn't arrived yet.
i also ordert a new battery, i hope this is the solution...............
i was having the same troubles with my artemis ,i read some posts about this
problem especially one talking about a cpu issue ,i followed his advice ,i just reflowed the cpu ,and all things became right, but it so early to have
a definitive opinion ,i will use my phone intensivelly for a month and post the results
i'm having same issue also. have try warranty my unit (change system board), but same thing happen again (can;t turn on when press power button). although using the original Dopod wm5 ROM, same thing happen after warranty.
now i'm using WM6.1 V34 by PDAVIET ROM till now it's working fine. if i've update any additional Todays Item (Pointui), same thing will happen again (hang)..
