BBConnect and ActiveSync

First off, THANK YOU to all who contribute here. This site has been ALOT of help.
Question...
I upgraded to WWE 1.42 Rom to have the blackberry...
Problem is now Activesync will and will not sync calendar.
I've read a few posts on going into bb and checking and unchecking pim calendr sync. but even when it does sync, after taken out of the cradle it will delete all calendar entries on the BA.
I've not read any fixes for this, so I am asking the community for help.
Also since upgrading to 1.42, I've noticed a significant lag..
I have SPB 3.0, Phone Alarm, Screen Lock, and an upgraged calendar. all were on prior to upgrade and BB connect.
I'm on US tmobile if that helps, and am recieveing bb emails straight to my phone. Thanks in advance for any help!

I Have exactly the same problem I am on t mobile uk This problem has also only occured since i used the up grade.

I have found the problem i think but dont know how to solve.
I have down graded the phone to the old rom and in the instant email settings there is no Rim Settings. It looks to me as if the Rim setting and MS Sync are fighting for control of the Calander, Which causes the pairing with the pc to be deleted.
So i will stick with the old rom for now although its not as good ie cant get mail alert sound etc.
Anyone have any other ideas please post.
Also one otherthing i have noticed when the phone is in the cradle it cant collect email via blckberry.
Seems t-mobile are no help at all
Thanks for reading this
Merry festive season to you all

excell99a,
does the old rom that you are using have blackberry instant email? if so which one?

Yes it does have instant email
its MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe
There is a link in the downloads
You also have to add the Camera2K5_v1 to get the camera to work

This fault has been fixed in the new ROM released yesterday by O2. It has an updated version of the blackberry client.

Sorry
This is for Xda II ?
Will it work for t-mobile MDA III ?

Its for Xda IIs which is HTC blueangel.
You may need to get the t-mobile version (if they have it). At least you know there is a fixed version from RIM so its possbile for t-mobile to release it.

I'll confirm this IS a working rom with WORKING BB Connect!! no more Calendar and Activesync issues!! EVEN after soft resets!! I downgraded from 1.42 to this 1.40, love it!!

I have been unable to load the O2 ROM on to t-mobile UK MDA III. Get country error code
Does anyone know if T-mobile are fixing this or is there an easy way to get the o2 Rom to load

GPRS Problems in WM6

Hey guys,
I recently upgraded my T-Mobile UK MDA Compact III to WM6.
I now have an intermittent problem with the GPRS/Internet. Basically, if fails to connect.
From what I've read, I think I need to delete my current connection settings, and then run the CAB from the WM5 Rom.
Has anyone on T-Mobile UK, done this with success? If so, can you point me in the direction of the CAB file you used?
Cheers,
Tim

I just set mine up manually.
Go to T-Mobile Website, click on phone support
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/phone-support/
enter your phone number and follow instructions for setting up MMS and you get a .pdf with instructions to set up both GPRS and MMS.
Delete any current settings and follow the above instructions.

I too am getting these issues. I have recently upgraded to the WWE dopod WM 6 rom (official HTC release) 3.7.707.1. I started to notice that if my phone was out of reception for any amount of time GPRS would fail to reconnect until a soft reset was performed. I have added the radio 02.94.90 to try and resolve this but no joy. I have added the GPRS settings exactly as per the TMob site again no joy. GPRS Auth is set to PAP which I think is correct.
One point to note is that I have not installed any items from the Dopod ext rom.
Once I have soft reset the connection will be fine until I lose reception again.

Hi,
Same issue here with all WM6 ROMs I've tried so far (to at least some extend). Most noticable is irritating behavior in Google Maps with WM6. In WM5 when the connection is unavailable the GPS tracking just continues till data comes in again. In WM6 the result is an error message. It's one of the reasons that makes me consider going back to WM5 for quite a while now. New features are nice but if old ones aren't at least as solid as before it makes no sense when you need them.
Recently I bumped into the every same issue you describe (requiring a soft reset) with B&B 3.7.. Which is a step worse in terms of stability then what I experienced before. At the same time there have been periods that I don't bumb into the issue. So I'm not sure what the cause is. My guess is that it's triggered when you've been in a bad reception area for some time.. But I don't have any hard facts to confirm the exact trigger of the problem.

I thought i'd try hard resetting my phone today to see if it would help but still no joy. the problem appears to affect voice as well as data and only occurs after at least 15 - 20 mins out of reception.
any ideas folks? I would go back to wm5 but the tmobile rom isn't available.

Hi All,
I have thesame problem previously with my Wizard. Found out that one my today plug-in is the culprit. The plug-in is "Battery Status Today ......" the one that shows the , Operator's name, speed, temp, V, A etc of your PPC on the today screen.
I dunno whether this is true and working for anyobe but in my case, my GPRS back to normal after after disable the plug-in. You can try the same too.
Other way, is to disable all non-standard today plug-in, test your Egde/GPRS with connect and disconnect(pressing the red button for more than 3seconds).
Activate one plug-in at a time and do the same test. Hopefully, you can indentify the problem and solve it.
regards,
morisa

Downloading the O2 ROM to see if that helps.. I have a feeling it might resolve this issue (fingers crossed!). I will post back here if it does.
Cheers
Alex

Once off the tube this morning my phone connected straight up and downloaded my emails. I hope I'm not speaking too soon but I think the O2 ROM has resolved the issue which would suggest it is a bug in the Dopod SEA ROM.
I will probably get the radio upgraded to 02.94.90 at some today and test that too.
Cheers
Alex

02.95.90 is now available

Artemis P3300 switches off

Hi!
I have the problem, that my HTC P3300 switches off, from self, alone.
Or it crashes since i do settings in tomtom or other programs.
I had the PDA 2 times !!! at my nearest service partner. And they means that the PDA is OK.
Now i have the newest software on the pda, I tried 2 different storagecards, but the problem is not solved.
So what can i do?
When the PDA crashes or switches off alone at standby, i had to give out the battery a few seconds. ONLY after that it´s possible to switch ON the PDA.
can anyone help me?

Flash it with a new rom ?
I had similar probs a while back. Cant remember which rom i had installed. But i have flashed back to vanilla and no issues since.
The cause could be a bad flash....

Hi, thanks for answering.
Where can i download other/older ROMS for the Artemis?

Just to let you know - you are not alone. My P3300 is switching itself off all the time. I tried to re-flash with the same rom, did not help (did not try older ones). But I suspect it is really a hardware issue - because it switches of more often in a hot environment.

Hi!
Oh, that´s nice, that i am not alone ;-)
I am sad that my HTC Service Point means my HTC is OK?!?!
Yesterday i tried an other SIM Card, from an other Mobilephone Provider.
Now the HTC is running since 16 hours without self switch off.
I am inquiring how long this runs OK.
But i also think its a hardware issue.

add me to the list. same phone, same issues. HELP!

Hi!
The last days i tested my phone.
Firs with an other SIM Card, and no Storagecard,.
Then without SIM Card, only with a storagecard
Since yesterday i had an other SIM AND the storagecard on board.
As yet no crash.
Tomorrow i would put my main SIM Card AND my main Storagecard in the HTC.
We´ll see what´s going on...
Very strange...

A suggestion - let us compare the versions of the roms we have. I had this:
Artemis_Touch_4.02_Full_with_4_sided_cube.zip
(I am currently testing with original rom to see if it solves something)

i had the latest ROM from the HTC Homepage

I had the latest dutch version (original) wm6 from the t-mobile website and now the english version (wm6) from the artemis wiki page.
I've noticed that today it crashed only 2 times (before +8). lets see what happens ...

Since the last 3 days my HTC won´t switched off itself.
BUT, when i play as sample with WLAN Settings, or with the "transcribe" settings, the HTC crashed. Black Display, no chance to restart.
After, press softreset, and put out the battery the HTC starts again.
I played again with WLAN Settings an nothings happens, the HTC runs.
It´s very strange, because my HTC runs over 1 Year perfectly.
And now i have such troubles. The question is why...
I also wrote to the HTC support, on the HTC Support page in the internet, but i become NO ANSWER!!!
I think i´d like to buy a Nokia Mobile Phone.

today my phone proved me wrong. it kept crashing and crashing. tomorrow ill go over to the t-mobile store and see what they have to say...
thorx, how is it going over there?
edit/update: i reflashed once more, this time without the storage card in (dunno if it matters) and another sim card. So far (1 hour) i had no crash. ill keep posting with updates.

Hi!
My HTC does NOT crashed the last days itself.
But it crashed often when i change some settings.
As sample: changes in the WLAN Settings, changes in the transcribe setting, and so on.
It´s not really comprehensible.
No one could help... -(

i gave it to t-mobile today. 10 days to get it fixed, im in waranty so its ok

I have the same problem with my Artemis. 2 weeks ago I've put new ROM (Original HTC WM6.0) and the problem occurred so I think maybe solution is downgrade to WM5. This week I'll check it.

One (maybe unrelated question) - do you have iGO 8 installed? My phone problems started after installing it.

Duplicate post

I do not think that it´s a softwareproblem.
My HTC runs over 1 Year with WinMobile 5.
From one day to the other, i have this curious error.
Then i gave it to my servicepartner. They installed me the newest SW, with WinMobile 6.
The problem isn´t solved.
Now i give my HTC third time to my service partner. :-(
The HTC Support doesn´t respond my emails. :-((
Perhaps i only could sell my phone as damaged on ebay...

My Orbit switched its self off randomly when it was in my pocket so I didn't know it was off! It was completely random and started happening when it was around 8 months old.
My solution was to cut up a credit card and use a strip of that to wedge in between the battery and housing. Previously I noticed the battery was a little loose and this solution has worked so far 5 months down the line it hasn't switched off since...

So, now my problem is solved.
I sended my HTC 3 times to my service partner.
After the third repair attempt, i become a replacement device.
They changed the hole pda, only the HTC case is my old one.
Now my HTC runs perfectly without errors.

Probelm with WiFi

Hello there,
What I Have: Att 8525 Herm100
Rom: Att's Mobile 6
Everything is stock but the extended life battery
The problem I am having is when ever I try to activate my WiFi the phone doesn't do anything. I am not sure if there is a wifi card or not but that's want I want to know. I have tried everything from activating it in com manager to going into the settings and activating it manually and nothing happens it acts like I didn't even hit the button to activate it. Is there a wifi card in the phone or is it integrated on the motherboard in the phone. Note: I bought this phone off e-bay and the wifi never worked when I received the phone.
I am new here and if there is a post about this already I am sorry.

I hate it when that happens.
To begin, there were two ATT OEM WM6 roms relevant to the 8525 that I noticed deep in the bowels of XGA.
I chose the later file (higher revision numbers) I found it here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
From comm manager when I click the tower button on within a second the spinning windoze icon shows something is happening. It then starts "sniffing" for my preset wifi connection (ATT supplied 2wire portal 802.11g).
Now, if yours does not show the spinning windoze working icon when you turn on wifi? There obviously is a problem. This could be software, or hardware related (duh). If there is no error message related to "wifi is not an option, unavailable, or screwed" then my first guess is there is something missing or damaged in the ROM update that was applied to your device. As far as I know all 8525 (herm100) were shipped with wm5. It had been mentioned in the volumes of xda that the first AT&T WM6 rom was a little buggy. Try the later released AT&T WM6 update.
It was a run file so no muss no fuss. Sync the phone run the update from the pc, three minutes later the phone is flashed to ATT WM6 professional.
You could take it to a ATT shop? But, I think that without a doubt they would hand it back and say you need a new phone with a 20 year contract and 3g data plan even Obama would blush at.
Try the hard reset. take a picture of the startup screens so you have the numbers and see if the wifi startup is working after the reset. If not then compare the numbers to the above mentioned roms. If the indications are you have the first issue of WM6 from ATT try flashing the second release. If that still fails then your device could indeed have a hardware problem.
The wifi is indeed built into the system and if that chip on the board is not working it could be a overly expensive problem. Possibly a shop has a working board they would swap out cheap? Otherwise, it is a fun phone you can keep notes on, run gps software if you have a bluetooth gps receiver and software like tomtom.
To be honest the wifi on my 8525 has been convenient when around the house to check the local weather radar when I hear a thunder outside, or browse headlines from the porcelain room or even leave messenger turned on incase a gamer friend is looking for someone to get shot up in a game.
I have used the live search voice thing to amaze the neighbors once. But, the limited range of wifi is a real drawback to how truly wonderful that addition could be.

HELP Please! Wi-Fi not working!!!
Hi to XDA all users !!!
MY Hermes - HTC TyTN [Herm200]
I bought HTC Hermes myself year ago.
there was flashed a WM5.0, I've just downloaded from here HARD SPL & WM6,1 (Custom) Flashed.
Wi-Fi will works on WM5.0.
Well here I am at 6.1 flashed and now is not working Wi-Fi. When i pressed Power ON - loading long and nothing happens.
Other methods are also tried on Commanager and Settings - but did not help.
What do I need to do my dear.
HELP!
Thank you for your attention!

Hi Nurk.
Since the wifi worked on wm5 but failed after the 6.1 flash. I would guess the problem is in the 6.1 components. You might start with contacting the kitchen rom you employed for WM6.1 thread and see if this has happened to others. Next step would be to check the radio rom version. I did see on xda an assortment of Radio roms.
If your not totally in love with the current rom you have flashed? Try another 6.1 or even a 6.5 and see whats poppin.

and what you have in HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\DeviceName?

Problem with signal loss and sync.

Hello,
Today I ran into a new problem, that I have been trying to figure out for hours, but couldn't find a solution.
I have a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2, sim unlocked-security unlocked, and hardSPLed.
While device is on, the signal suddenly drops off, like as if it's re-starting the radio, and then gets the signal back in 2-3 seconds.
Whenever this happens the activesync connection also gets interrupted, WMDC says device is disconnected, while the TP2 still thinks it's syncing.
I would appreciate any suggestion, and solution, or at least any idea about why this could be happening.
What I tried so far to solve the problem:
1-I hard-reseted the device. Not even sure how many times.
2-Tried with different stock ROMs, WM 6.5 Europe, WM 6.5 T-Mobile.
3-Tried flashing a few Radio ROMs.
4-Tried setting the device to chose only GSM, and GSM900/1800 manually.
So far, I started focusing on the SIM card. The only thing that changed since Saturday, is the SIM card, as I changed providers, but it's still awkward that the problem started just today.
Thank you.
New Symptom : After losing signal, sometimes it can't connect back to network, and asks for PIN again. happened twice so far.

Update: Ok, the problem is beyond SIM card, since I just removed the SIM card, and decided to see, what happens when I try to Sync.
The device continues to do hiccups, the USB connection drops on computer side, even though device doesn't recognize that, and device asks for a SIM PIN, as if I just booted it.
Any help would really be appreciated at this point, since I'm out of ideas about what to do.
And no, warranty isn't an option for me, since it's a US device, and I'm not living in the US =(

So, I flashed back to 6.1 stock TMOUS ROM, problem still there, went to 6.5 TMOUS, problem is still valid.
Can't seem to figure out any solution for the night, and calling it a day. Suggestions are more then appreciated =) Thank you.

Well, I need to bump this thread, as the problem is still there, with no solution, but it just metamorphed into something else.
I asked for a solution from HTC, but all they said was to try with another operator SIM, which didn't help of course.
But after countless hard-resets and flashing, now the connection can keep up for a few more minutes.(sometimes around an hour, but usually good enough to finish up a 15 min sync)
But, now after coming off the suspend mode, it sometimes give me a "A problem with device.exe occured" error, and after I get that error, I lose voice in calls. (As in, I can recieve calls, or make calls, but in both cases, can't hear the other side, and they can't hear me either)
So, what could possibly be the reason for device.exe error? I heard that some companies, just change devices that gets the error, but it's pretty impossible for my device to changed. (=> TMOUS Rhodium user in Turkey)
So any ideas, or solutions? Or anything you want me to try? I'm pretty open to do anything at this moment, since If I can't solve the problem the device will turn into a 600$ paperweight. And an ugly one too, for the price =p

Just another symptom:
Before all these started in the WMDC, no matter what ROM was on the device, the device picture would be a T-Mobile TP2.
But now, on WMDC, picture of the device is an unbranded HTC TP2.
Today, hoping to be able to turn everything back to the beginning, I flashed WM 6.1 TMOUS ROM, and re-flashed the stock SPL. After connecting the device to WMDC, the picture was still an unbranded TP2 picture.
The problem of hiccups with network signal came back with the stock ROM, and is driving me crazy.
And, I decided to flash the leaked TMOUS 6.5 ROM, which didn't help anything at all. (The picture isn't a TMobile one still)
So, I'm thnking that the flashing progress, at one point just fiddled with a part, that we don't know about yet, which contains device information.
Anyone with any ideas? =I

Try flashing a different radio to the phone. Nearly all cooked roms wont come with a radio. If it is an official stock rom that you are flashing they normally have Rom, Radio and Splash. If you put the rom on your sd card and try to flash from there what does it say when the grey screen comes up and tells you what is in the .nbh file?
Also i hard reset before and after flashing, especially after seems to help.
Could be faulty phone if you have tried other providers sims and its the same.
