freezing and reliability - black

I'm running the latest black. 90% of the time it's fine.
I am getting some occasional freezing however...
If i've left it on charge for the night it's sometimes frozen when I go to it in the morning.
Any tips?
Is there a new black soon? It's bacnk holiday weekend in the UK ! Always a good time for an upgrade ?

I did have a couple of freezing issues, but I deleted some sort of updating thingo in the startup menu and they stopped after that.
It wasn't poutlook, it was something else. Something to do with the JVM? I dunno. I also made sure that I didn't install any constantly-running programs to the SD card.

well if JJ is off maybe i should switch to a new ROM !
any recommendations - stability is No. 1 requirement.

I second that, but the cooks have their reason for posting elsewhere and we must respect that. But it is great to see that they still watch this great forum. It must be because it is still the best, with the biggest viewership numbers.
I have tried most but found the latest LVSW to my liking. Also depends if you use the BT functions or not. But give them all a go. Flashing is really fun and very safe if you follow the correct proceedures.
There is no better tutor than taking time to read all the threads.
Good luck

Just try them all until you find the best one for your needs/ phone. All have good points and bad. Read, Read, and then search the wiki.

I found that JJs Black 2.5 was the best for my Tytn. No freezings what so ever and the SD card problems are gone to. The battery time had increased by 40% when I changed my carrier to swedish Three (3 ) and with my new 3000mha ebay LI-IOn battery I get 72 Hours on 3G (U) constantly on with email cheking every hour and websurfing 2-3 hours on a day.

Well I was having some issues with Black 3 so I waited a while for 3.5, but it seem to take som time for this so now I'm testing the latest from LVSW and it seem very good so far on my Tytn.

i installed lvsw! seems v nice.

WM6 Update conclusion

Hey Guys
i just considered installing the new WM6 Update for my German O2 XDA Orbit...
but as far as I read, I came to a conclusion, its not yet worth installing because of the very poor battery life? Or is this "registry hack" mentioned in another thread really working?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:00000000
Did anybody have a good experience? I am still unsure.
Thx for your hints!
Vic

i have edit, customized and write to XDA Orbit extrom, this is work perfect and i have not problem with battery !!
look this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296276

I'm with you on that nicknicker. It is tempting to do the WWE WM6 but it doesnt seem like it would be as stable as I would need it to be. I travel a lot and relay on the calender/wifi/and email functions of my phone and risking stability is not in my budget. I guess one could ask why I even bother playing with it in the first place...but what I have accomplished thanks to this board has been worth it. I am going to wait for the HTC or O2-UK WM6 release.
I am however very impressed with the fact that these people were able to do this...

i did the WM6 english update as it is described in this forum 5 days ago and the only thing i can say is that its AMAZING !!.. everything works fine , super FAST and i have absolutely no problem..
i havent noticed any battery problem and definetely i will keep this rom.
i recomend it!

My P3300 is running faster than with WM5 before. The battery indeed seems to drain a little faster than in WM5.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002

Not realy working for me.
After one night battery goes down with 20-30% only in standby

Is this not because you're playing with the phone more now that its WM6? I know that when I first got my Artemis the battery life seemed appalling after my previous SE device. After a few days once I'd stopped playing around with it so much the battery life seemed to get better (possibly the battery becoming better conditioned after a few charges?) and even now when I use it more it obviously lasts less time.

Have to say, no issue with battery life since WM6 upgrade here.
I did the OS upgrade only as my device is still CID locked. Perhaps it's something in ther radio flash from the rest of the full package.

I did the upgrade, battery life is worse, but machine is pretty faster than B4.
Another issue is that the call-auto recorder Vitonote software ainta able to record calls anymore. I am waitin for un update.
Each time I did the registery hack my ppc goes bad, with new "extendROM" appears in my storagecard??? wondering why?

Is there a way to flash the windows mobile 6 part only and keep the existing radio version 02.67.90 ?
TIA

This WW6 doesn't touch your radio version at all cuz it aint complete ROM, so Don't worry about Radio here.

o2Customer services and WM6
Not sure if this is too relevant to the thread but thought i would share anyway!
I spoke to th lovely people at O2 UK whom suggested the proper release of the WM6 rom for the XDA Orbit (Artemis) will be the back end of the summer!
This being my first XDA, is the the kind of support you get from O2 UK? I mean, Germany have the ROM already available as a download, not only that but their site is far better and far more informative!

Followed this up. Reinstated the original t-mobile ROM then did the OS upgrade keeping my old radio 02.49.90.
Seems to have worked well. There doesn't seem to be any issue with the CPU being ramped up and so far the battery life seems much better.
Maybe the t-mobile devices don't get on with the latest radio version?
ps does anyone which drains the battery faster exchange server or imap checking every 5 min?
Cheers

STABLE Radio ROM for WM6 ???

Hello, I just upgraded to official ROM 3.54.255.3 with Radio 1.48.00.10. It was absolutely useless. Phone was freezing very often, calls were lost in couple of seconds, but the timer continued to count and all looked like the call continues. It was not possible to finish it by red button or “End” button on display, just by Soft Reset.
I upgraded just Radio to 1.51.00.10. It’s better but still bad. I’m loosing calls, sometimes Internet connections falls down stating that modem was disconnected and than phone searches for signal again. Sometimes after reset Phone part doesn’t start and doesn’t require PIN. It’s necessary to reset couple of times or to remove battery and switch it on again.
Could someone please recommend me proved version of Radio ROM? I’m using in Czech Republic for O2 (former Eurotel) network.
Is it possible, that it’s HW problem? My TyNT felt down on the floor couple of times
THANK YOU ALL A LOT IN ADVANCE

TYTN in Serbia - same GSM radio problems!
Please is there any known stable version that works in third world countries?
TYTN is almost completely uselell with 1.41 radio in Serbia!
Even if it is old rom no problem! I'm willing to go back to wm5 if needed just to have good and stable GSM!
Is there any app capable of testing htc radio to see if it is hardware flow?
Please HELP!

i have the oficial rom instaled in english and everything works fine more faster and more stable

Downgraded radio to 1.47.00.10 yesterday evening, looks better, will post results this evening.

1.47.00.10 is what i've downgraded to.
1.50 and 1.48 were absolute crap for me in California.

1.47.00.10 is a great radio! no complaints at all so far

This discussion is useless - best radio depends on local network you are using. For me the best still is 1.38 (Plus GSM in Poland), but I know that in Era GSM people have no problem with 1.51.
So the best is to try all available version and check, which one works best in given country, network and region, not to mention if we are using GSM or 3G.

crap radios
Same problems with these radio and O2 in CZ

So I was testing 1.47.00.10 whole day. Another disaster, on the beginning of the they everything was fine, with every call received the behavior of TyNT was worst and worst. Sometimes SMS were send after second try. On the end of the day I was not able to receive calls not even leave them unanswered – every time TyNT frozes. After Soft Reset the booting white screen was showing NO GSM…
After Hard Reset everything works OK again, but I really do not want HR on daily basis So trying to find another Radio ROM for CZ O2

Same problems with radio 1.51.00.10 - O2 in CZ

ok
1.50.08 work perfect for me.

tested 5-6 radio versions in Serbia NO LUCK
AT the end I hope that unit is bad and that replacement with other one will help
Is it posible to be due to rom since I also am getting message NO GSM during BOOT and before windows. It looks to me that radio on mine device might be in some hardware problem?
Any suggestions?

Just uploaded 1.38.30.10. As always looks and works perfectly on beginning

i put RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe ftom america.htc i think. it is complete rom with radio 1.40.30 and works best so far in seerbia but still with problems. At least it doesn't freez phone like other versions!

So tried 1.38.30.10, doesn‘t work as well. I changed ROM to Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_3.57a_Lite_28-07.exe. Looks fine, but together with 1.38.30.10 doesn’t work. Upgraded Radio ROM to 1.50.00.00 which looks fine together, but still sometimes phone indicates “NO GSM”. Will test again during the day. If it will not work, it’s time to send it to service.
I’m already starting to looking forward to Nokia N95 that I will bought after loosing patience with TyNT.

tytn damaged
I would like to conclude that in my own opinion we are both stuc with bad units. Today i took another tytn and tested it with network in serbia and it worked fine. So changing rom doesn't help me. I have no option but to give it to be repaired.
Nokia is nice but it is different story if you ask me
HTC and windows is my choice!
Do yu thinking about changing radio on it (hardware)
All the best!

Ok
1.50.008 work excellent in my AT&T 8525 Hermes!!

IT LOOKS LIKE MY STORY HAS UNBELIAVEBLE HAPPY END which makes it may be most stupid story on this web. After trying 2 different ROMs and 6 different Radio ROMs I lost my patience and decided to go to service of HTC. So I exported most important contacts and uploaded them to my old Nokia 6280. In the morning I needed to send 2 SMSes and make one call. During this my NOKIA without any „smart“ OS restarted 2 times searching for signal. This phone was never problematic a never did that. So it indicated possible problem with SIM card. I went to O2 store and asked for new SIM. I got it in 5 minutes for free including switching all systems to new one. From this moment TyTN flashed to Official WM6 ROM 3.54 with radio 1.48.00.10 works without any problem and any single soft reset. I’m connected on 3G (UMTS/HSDPA) whole day and I lost connection only three times, but without problem to establish it again. I still expect, that the problem will come, but more it’s seems like that only problem was SIM card. The phone is more stable then ever before, so probably I had in some way corrupted SIM from beginning with O2… I will inform, if it keeps working.

Good for you
Me unfortunately, i wasn't that lucky. I replaced sim with new one 7 days ago and it didn't help
Enyoy your HTC!

150.00.00 and 148.00.00 works great in around Phoenix area AT&T

Phone freezes every 20 minutes. Faulty device?

Hey Everyone
Ive been quite awhile on this board but I am usually more the quiet guy who observes and enjoys this great board. About a year ago I started to become interested in WM and Rom development and have since flashed several roms on several devices.
Yesterday I got my Swiss HTC Diamond and I have to say there are a few things that are bugging me. The phone crashes about every 20 minutes. So I thought I'd install the signed SPL and then the Elite 2 rom. However this didn't solve my problem and I installed the developers SPL and bepes 0.51 Rom. The phone crashed regurarly and I can't use it as a working phone/communicator/organizer. As a last try I installed an hour ago the TRL Diamond 2 rom.
Don't get me wrong. All the roms are working quickly and I would love the device. It's just that the phone freezes badly quite often and I have to softreset.
So my question is: Am I the only one experiencing this? Are there registry hacks to make the device more reliable?
Greetings from Switzerland and keep up the good work

Edit: I'm not sure if this is in the right forum as mentioned by Spawn12. If so Admins, feel free to move into the other folder.

Looks like it might be a faulty device so needs to be sent back but because you have flashed the rom...it may be that your warranty is void now. But im not 110% sure though so dont quote me on that.
By the way this part of the forum is for ROM DEVELOPMENT....you might want to try posting next time in the Diamond forum.

For warranty reasons (I thought the device was broken) I reflashed the original SPL and the 1.37 rom.
So far (40 minutes) the phone was very stable. This led me to believe that somehow my device doesn't work fine together with cooked and tweaked roms that are out just now. I think I will wait a few weeks before I reflash some of the great roms that are being developed right now.

edit: just a few seconds after I posted, the touch flow 3d restarted itself randomly... Whats wrong with my device?

Like i said mate, it seems like your phone might be faulty...why not just return it and get a new working one. If it was me thats what i would be doing straight away...wouldnt put up with a faulty device to be honest.

Mate b4 u take ur fone back to ur dealer...I remember reading it sumwhere that HTC did rush the release of Diamond but moslty al of thier fones are working fine. I got mine in Sydney from ebay and it turned out to be from Russia...
If i install any other roms either then the Rusian rom...the fone crashes as u mentioned urs does..there is sumthing as a region lock or sumthing...thats why i can only run the Russian rom without any problems..(M tryn to cook my own rom) My advice would be get back to ur stock rom and see how things go from there..there might be afew resets but it'l work fine after that..
If that doesnt work then u have a faulty fone...This saves u time and money i guess...
hope this helps
Cheers from OZ

Hey Lordaris and Spawn12
I returned my Diamond and got a new one. As mentioned in the posts above I did reflash the wwe original 1.37 rom but it didn't help. Now everything works fine (no crashes) but the phone without a cooked rom from this forum is just slower :-( Does anyone besides Lordaris have the problem with the roms? I am concerned now to flash new roms if this is a common problem?
geele - happy with a new diamond

I am really dissapointed! Mine also start restarting after missed call!
I cant understand how HTC put this device in sales - and it IS NOT SOME INEXPENSIVE toy - it is one of the most expensive phones!!!
I hope HTC will issue a solution for all their pissed-off users, otherwise - it is very bad for the company image!

... and i hope thay will also fix the issue with the alarm (which can not bew stoped without restarting the phone!).

Anybody have a backup of the orange uk rom?

In my haste to crack on with playing with my diamond - i flashed my diamond with a multitude of roms, before backing up my original! I think that my diamond is faulty - so i want to exchange it back at phones4u - i cant give them a phone with Dutty's rom on it - they might actually know what they are doing!
So has anyone got a backup of the rom that comes stock on the htc diamond from orange they can upload for me - i have searched - cant find anything, other than a french one! Or do you guys reckon it would be fine to pack it off with a stock htc rom?

what is the fault??????
if you install back the same stock rom you "should" be ok

everyone agree with this? well i know that these are common problems - but my reception is UBER pants and my battery is UBER UBER pants. to the point that its unusable almost - i just wanna swap over the unit see if its any better - you cant blame me - i'm charging the damn from from empty to full twice a day - im not a massively heavy user! and when im in my bedroom - i cant receive calls at times - and it says i have reception - so im just gonna play the faulty handset card and get a new one?

what rom and radio are you using?
mine last about 3 days now
im like you...i don't bash the phone
try what i am using, look below and see how you get on.

im using duttys 1.5 rom - 3 days is a dream for me. 1.00.25.05 is my radio. literally - its on charge at work - i finish at say 7.30 sometimes- if i go to bed at 11 - it needs charging otherwise i will have a dead battery in the morning - it would be more practical to carry a petrol generator around with me at all times charging my phone!

Do you have 3G enabled? If I keep that on "auto" my battery runs out v quickly, if I disbale it I can go 3 days + with moderate usage

yea - That is my only real power drain - push email, but i do need that, and the thing is, i have had my email and 3g turned completely off for a few days and it doesnt effect the battery life at all.

I dont currently have a backup of it, but I do still have a 'virgin' phone.. I've not yet flashed it. Not sure if I am going to until the warranty runs out.
Let me know if you need it, and I will send it over

i appreciate it - but i dunno if a virgin rom on an orange phone thats faulty will sit quite right with them . lol still appreciate though. Anyone think i shouldnt be taking it back though? atm im just gonna put the stock rom on!

By virgin I meant it had never been touched, not from the virgin network lol
It is an orange rom. It's stock, as you call it..

ahhhhh - oops .my bad, in that case - if you wouldnt mind - it wouldnt hurt to have the rom that was on the phone on there? what rom is it?

I had problems with my speaker. Phoned up orange got a fault code took it back to phones4u they gave me a new diamond and didnt even look in the box. Good job to i forgot the mains charger lol.

orange rom
I have the original orange UK rom on my phone
How do I backit up?

If this is a new contract and as long as you are within the 14 days phones4u will replace it even without looking at the software of the phone (in my experiance) all they will check is the contents are correct. I dont think they do this for upgrades.
if you using Push mail you really dont need 3g on all the time. with just (G) my push mail is active 18 hours a day and the battery goes for at 36-48 hours - fine for my use.
