I like my MDAIII after deciding to ditch the smartphone and PPC for an all in one no real bugs except if the unit is in standby for a while the back light stays off and I have to go through settings to turn it back on not easy in the dark....
Does anyone else have this problem - I am awaiting a reply from T-mobile
Well T-Mobile have washed their hands of it -
:evil:
I am now waiting for Microsoft
Men, I had your problem too., you must select one off the boxes in the backlight settings, I had that problem too, and it was due to my problem coz I accidentaly disabled an option.
I cant tell you right now what it was coz my rom is in chinese....hehe...and I can't read it
I have already gone through ticking & de-ticking bits.... Also it does it from a hard reset which has no settings changed from its original start up which means others should have the same problem?????????
I did not like T mobiles response they did not even suggest anything they just said call Microsoft on a premium rate number... I have to spend extra money trying to fix a faulty item they sold me...
sorry a bit off topic
The backlight on or off goes with a app, I assume, something like the TPeneble, and TP disable in the ExtROM I assume, so maybe you can try to find all the files in the windows folder related with backlight (only by name or if you know what files) and copy them from a good working MDAIII, and reeboot.
It is just a thought.
You can't complain with me about their service, cos in my country I have nobody to ask that kind of things, coz they sell the devices but they don't have any service (my operator was bought by tmobile recently)
I will try the copy from another MDAIII soon ... Cheers
same backlight problem with mine mda3 t-mobile
After installing Hard SPL 2.0, ATT radio 1.5.4, and Pays 6.1 i have the following problems, have searched for a few days now and still havent found anything.
I installed a CAB to set up my phone for ATT service, now i can recieve email, get online and Download MMS. SMS is fine. I can even use internet sharing perfectly. (although OUTGOING email also doesnt work when teathered.) Everything else is good besides:
No Camera, No Flashlight, No Superbright. Cannot SEND email via smtp with auth. Tested the smtp from my pc (not teathered) and it works fine.
If anyone even has this problem, make me feel better that im not the only one. I have tried flashing to different ROMs and camera has never worked since 6.1 flash. I also installed radio version 1.4.8 and still coulnt send email. - could this be my internet settings?
Thanks to all who can help!

Did you flash to a stable ROM (eg original WM 6 ROM) before fashing Pay's ROM? My two cents; try flashing your phone again, this time flash to an original wm6 ROM like a AT&T ROM, soft-reset before customizations start, then flash Pay's ROM. Hope this helps.
Soft reset before customizations start?
When the phone turns on for the first time after flash - before the customization screen? Is that what is meant by that?
I would definatly flash to an offical AT&T ROM and then see what happens..
I had installed the official WM6 rom - camera did not work. Did not set up email so i dont know if that worked. I also installed a custom ATT specific rom which camera did not work.
Why would i have all other types of internet access except outgoing email?
Camera problem
I get that from time to time on my 8525 (Hermes). The fix is simple, unplug the phone from any power source, pop out the battery, wait about 20-30 seconds and place the battery back in.
In the old "PDA only" world, this is what we'd call a Battery Reset. More effective than a Soft Reset and not as drastic as a Hard Reset.
When my 8525 (Hermes) Camera stops working, as well as the flashlight and all, I do this little trick and it fixes it every time.
I hope this fixes things for you!
I am having the same problem with my 8525 running pays rom tried everything still can't send email. tried flashing to an official att rom same problem problem started only after i flashed to pays rom....help.
Camera problem
I Flashed my XDA Stellar with supposedly the official wm6.1 rom. Now my TOM TOM takes forever to get a fix and although my camera still takes pictures, there is no view finder image to show me what im looking at. Dissapointing.

I have done the obvious steps of googling and searching the forums so please excuse me if I have missed the answer to this question but here goes....
I bought a T-Mobile branded HTC S620 on ebay, the advert says it has WiFi but the device never showed this ability at all. I followed instructions here to update to the Kavana 6.1 Rom but still no Wi Fi. I was wondering if anyone can tell me should this actually have Wi Fi capability?
The technical details are:
CPU: TI OMAP850
Speed: 201 MHz
RAM: 64 MB
FLASH: 128 MB
Model Name: HTC-S620
Radio Version: 4.1.13.51_03.07.90
Can`t find a way to display further information, if I run the freeware program WifiIO it says "sorry no WLAN hardware found" and I`m thinking it doesn`t have the hardware built in
There is a code underneath the battery that reads EXCA210 if this helps?
Thanks
Dave
Of course it does. Did you check on CommManager? If you flashed the phone to 6.1 then I assume you also followed the steps to allow SMS, MMS and Internet to work? If you haven't, look into that. If you have... then it sounds weird. I am sure I read something similar to your problem around recently.
I just got a Dash from T-Mobile and I do have wifi, so yes you should definately have it also.
That`s what I thought, using a registry editor I can see that under HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN it has two values
one says DEFAULT and in brackets (value not set) and the other is the device name. I have been reading in one post that maybe the T Mobile models don`t have wlan hard ware. I looked at the exact wording on the ebay advert and it says "put wi fi and Bluetooth 2.0 as a extra item" whatever that means
It does not show in the comm manager though
I have just found that in the folder WINDOWS is a file called RemoveWiFi so I would assume there must be a way to make it enabled again?
Busted wifi yet another ebay Dump, Busted wifi S620.
I think there may be a way to re enable it and hopefully someone who knows more than me about the subject can help.
I`m guessing the key is to do with the removewifi file. I opened it in notepad and it contains a load of text including bits saying to enable just 6 items (whereas with wifi enabled there should be seven I think on the manager screen).
Of course it could just be that thats the default setting for the Kavana 6.1 rom however it appears from hours of googling that the 210 (my model) is the Dash from T Mobile and not the hard ware disabled T Mobile mail so I`m hoping
So maybe if someone can tell me how to edit the removewifi file (is it safe to do so?) I may be able to enable the feature

if you loaded kavana's rom the wifi manager should be at the bottem where it says settings under photo and you just scroll left or right and it should say wireless manager : wifi off click the silver button and it will open your comm manager then you can turn it on...if it isn't on there maybe you messed up when you loaded the rom, re-download the rom then re-boot the rom back onto your phone..
Thanks, I know the comms manager but it shows only bluetooth and the phone options, followed the instructions for rom properly and image appears to be fine as everything else works.
Its supposed to be the T-Mobile Dash according to the sellers advert, he refuses to answer my queries, but if it ish that should have had wi fi and when I got it there was no wi fi on the t mobile rom eithr so maybe I just got ripped off by a smeghead on ebay
Still nice phone though
I don't want to look like a cretin, but I have seen on ebay knock off exact copies of phones such as the Nokia N96 and they all lacked wifi. Maybe you got a knock off HTC Dash hence why no wifi? Just a thought.
I'm not aware of any T-Mob Dash that was sold without WiFi.
Here's an idea: Reflash the phone with T-Mob's latest ROM and see if the WiFi gets installed and can be enabled. If it is/can, then you know something fubar'd when you flashed the non-OEM ROM.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that the MDA Mail variant of the Excalibur sold by T-Mobile in Germany & UK did not have onboard Wi-Fi
Not sure if cross-flashing ROM can enable it - or if the hardware is not in there.
yyour wifiinit.lnk mustve gotten deleted, thats exactly what happens if i remove mine from windows/startup folder. im guessing that if u either reflash it, hard reset or idk if someone uploaded it for you tt download that the issue will be fix
The original T Mobile rom didn`t allow wifi either, it had Windows Mobile 5 on then. I will have to see how to create a wifiinit.lnk file and where to place it.
Hi!
I own both a unbranded HTC S620 and the German MDA mail. Im a alert by the fact that u stated that the model name under the battery as EXCA210. Because that is exactly what I have in my German wifi-disabled MDA mail. The wifi-enabled HTC S620 on the other hand reads EXCA200.
However, it is very easy in fact to determine if your Excalibur (whatever the model) is one of those "handicapped" MDA mails.
How does the case look? Is it all black? Not like the new US Dash but a metallic, black paint on the front cover? Plus, a MDA mail only has the "Designed for Windows Mobile" logo on the back and nothing else!
Usually, all the ROMs automatically detect whether WiFi is available or not. If the WiFi option is shaded grey and not applicable in the CommManager then I'm very sorry but to tell u that either the WiFi Module is broken or you've got one of the MDA mails. I can approve of that since I am easily able to check this for both of my phones.
Googling for EXCA210 and finding that it is a T-Mobile Dash doesnt change the fact...that is usually some confusion about that. Even on the Excalibur-Wiki and the smartphone-db, they list the MDA mail as wifi-enabled which it is, obviously not.
EDIT: Oh, and btw. There is no way of enabling the WiFi on a MDA Mail. It simply lacks the WiFi-onboard module!
I have to admit the seller who won`t reply to me at all says its a T Mobile Dash with optional Wi Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 in his advert on ebay, however it seems to me to be an MDA instead.
Its a UK one, jet black as you describe complete with ten silver numeric keys and I`m thinking the seller just is a rip off merchant!
Alright mate, then u got a MDA mail..sorry to hear that. It's not a bad phone though..its a q nice contrast to all the other silver ones...but yet, very disappointing withouth WiFi. To be honest, I reckon the seller didnt even know what he was selling, and just copied the data from the normal HTC S620. Very little people know about this crucial difference between the two..however, he should have been one of those..
Have you got a link to the bespoken product on ebay?
HTC MDA Mail
Is this your phone? http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/03/12/t-mobile_ships_mda_mail/ I got to say that I really like the looks of it, even though it doesn't have wifi, is a nice phone. Is there anything else different from the dash? regarding apps and features.
Yes thats the one roloracer.
Yes the looks are really cool i admit, but its bears the typical HTC problem as other re-branded/re-modelled phones for T-Mobile : the colour wears off very rapidly. I had that problem with my Amadeus (SDA music for T-Mo GER) that the white paint came off really easily. For the MDA Mail u basically end up with the normal HTC S620 cover underneath with still little bits of the original colour scattered on the front cover...makes it look very roughed up..not nice
Apart from that, everything is the same. I cant really remember about the Apps because I unlocked and upgraded the ROM very quickly.. But another advantage is that those MDA mails were manufactured in the HTC plant in Taiwan...so its said that those usually show a better component quality.

So unless you absolutely need the wifi , then you're not missing anything by having an mda mail instead of a dash/excalibur.
I might have to exchange my tilt 2 because the BT doesn't seem to be working properly. Anyone know where to find the oem att tilt to rom installer? all i've been able to find is a "untested" version, and i want to make sure its the same ROM that it was shipped with if i have to return it.
The stock SHIPPED rom isn't available anywhere yet, the cooked stock from herg is the only option right now.
ugh...no wonder i couldn't find it. Well, i download the herg dump that was posted. Anyone think i'll be able to get away w/ using that ROM for a return, or should i just wait until there's an actual leaked/released ATT package available.
The ROM was cooked for warranty return purposes, read the first few pages of the thread, there are a few steps required to take the phone back to stock (ROM, RADIO, SPL).
Whats up with the BT? There may be a fix for it.

i tried a few different ROMs which led me to think it was a problem w/ the phone itself and not one of the roms. I tried the 10.28 EnergyROMs 6.5.1 and 6.5, TPC 6.5 rom, and an earlier release of the 6.5 EnergyROM as well. All of them had the problems with bluetooth. Basically the phone would sync to a headset, and work just find (playing stereo bluetooth), but after a softreset it would loose the Stereo Audio connection, and i wouldn't be able to playing audio through my headphones anymore. That, and for some reason the tilt 2 keyboard fix wouldn't work with any of the ROMs.
Did you install tomtom nav 7? I installed TT7, the newest version, the one that doesn't mess with the BT and had problems. I uninstalled TT7, went into the registry and deleted anything associated with TT7, soft reset, and my BT works much better now. Aside from that, I wish I could be of more help.
As you can see from my sig this is my third AT&T/HTC phone, and as I recall they all had some initial problems with BT stereo headphones. The problems were in the A2DP software and registry settings.
no TT here. actually, i just noticed that it looks like the phone doesn't recognized any of the AVCTP commands from my headset. i just tried the nov 2 NRG ROM right now, and it was able to play the music over the headphones right after i flashed, but before i installed my sim. It seems that, whenever i update the phones settings (and choose ATT) if then breaks the connection and refuses to reconnect. But either way, even when it was connected its still not able to do any of the AVCTP commands (skip, play, resume, etc).
May be something about your SIM card, AT&T will give you a new sim, no charge. I had them give me one when got my T2.

i doubt thats it, im using my fuze now...but when i tried uaing my headset on my phone this morning, it kept sayinng bluetooth cannot be turned on.
go ahead and exchange away!
the more tilt 2 exchange requests, the quicker the (re)stocking @ the warranty dept
I really need to get rid of my fuze and have it warranty exchanged!

maybe i'm too tired, or i skimmed across the pages too quickly, but as far as bringing it back to stop Rom, radio and spl...well, the rom is the herg dump, radio (theres only one for att) so thats pretty much set. i'm assuming all i would have to do is relock it through hardspl. The only thing that has me somewhat worried is the startup screen which has the "test rom" information on it, anyone know if there's an official animation screen....or one that doesn't have that on it.
pls i need the above phone schematics.my phone is saying missing sim card and i have updated it but still the same problem.i think it is hardware.any place to download the above schematics.
...
trust me, just keep taking sim out, putting it back in, switching on..
yes/no
if no.. repeat..
its happened to me, but now its ok
you could try scratching the contacts/pins making a clean clean connection from device to sim.. dirty contact maybe??
i do have some type of schematics, dont know if they are the ones your looking for but cant upload because im currently using artemis..
i can email though, if you email me, ill email you the pics but like i said, dont know if they the ones you need dude..
...
sorry for delay.. (forgot.lol)
this is what i have.. here..
(looks like thes are not the ones you need but always handy to have)
