Hi all
I upgraded mu phone with the official ROM image from HTC.
It happens that my phones switches off unexpectedly. It happened 5/6 times in the last week.
I have not installed any additional software.
Is anyone experiencing this same behaviour ?
Regards
hawk
hawk,
yes, it was the same problem after B&B, Vanilla and many other binaries from the forum. May be 1-2 times per day. At the moment I have original WM6 from one of the post. It likes me, stable and fast, without any additional useless soft like CUBE and other ****
But it opposite to your situation, you have a problem with original as well
i had the same problem i flashed my rom twice and its working like charm now just try to reflash it again!!! i used an official rom wm6 downloaded from wiki xda developers

the same
I have the same problem, but I have a FULL version of 4.02 ROM (ENG). The problem is exactly the same - after some time (one night for example) the "phone application" stops responding when I want to make a call. I think it's the ROMs fault. I thinking of going back to the original WM5 or original WM6 from HTC.

I think the problem is from the OS ROM. I had same problem with vanilla 4.02.
Just try it another new build ROM.
Cheers
Same problem here

Hi Zecanilis,
I encounter the same problem that is described here by user kosiara an Novy
The GSM signal is excellent, but the phone does not work from time to time and when I try to make a call, I get the message "the operation failed". of course nobody can reach me neither... When I do a soft reset everything is back to normal...
This is very anoying and I do not know what to do.
I bought this PDA second hand, with the upgrades already done for me. Since I do not have any personal data or programs on it yet, I wouldn't mind doing a hard reset and installing everything from scratch.
What would you suggest as a stable system OS and ROM versions?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here are my actual data:
XDA Orbit
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
GSM 03.08.90
OS 3.13.0.0
ROM version : Artemis Touch 4.02 WWE
ROM date 4/08/08
Protocol version 4.1.13.52
Model Nr : ARTE 200
WM 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0)
Regards
But, yet again, I don't understand...
Vanilla 4.01 and 4.02 seem to be very popular and appreciated roms.
How come we are the only ones to complain about phone not working properly?
Is it really the OS build? CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0) I don't think so. I have seen it also a lot in Devices.
What could it be then?
I hope it is not a Gsm radio hardware pb......
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm not "guessing". I had the same problem and i think my problem is solved after this new rom i have.
Just try one recent build of OS. My build is 19591.
Before upgrading, just turning off and on the phone in the "comm manager" whould give me that problem sometimes. Now i've allready tested it and all is ok.

Hi, and thanks for your reply.
I am new to this and althought I read many post, I am not sure.
Can I just upgrade the OS Build without flashing a new ROM.?
If Yes, How do I do it...any tutorial?
Thanks
No.
You have to flash a complete new ROM.
Cheers
OK Thanks
Whish me good luck,,,
Good luck and good choose...

I experienced that problem a few weeks ago and it's happening more often in the last days. My ROM is Artemis Touch 4.02 full.
Some people started complaining that they couldn't phone me while I didn't see any problem with my phone (as long as I didn't try to make a call myself).
Funny addition to that problem: Sometimes I find my phone (usually in the morning) with a blank white screen. I don't know why that keeps happening but I sure would appreciate any hints what's the root of all that evil.
I'm happy with the 4.02 ROM so I'd rather avoid some things if it keeps the ROM stable.

when you installed your new rom did you flash it twice ?
this will make sure that all system files are copied 100%.
its really important to do this on all new roms that you install.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I flashed it twice and I even flashed a factory rom before that. All Artemis Touch roms were fine until 4.01 and 4.02.
So Zecanilis is probably right blaming the OS version for that malfunctions.
New Rom
I have flashed my device using USPL (took me 2 days to setup the program to work with vista drivers). Then I flashed the same ROM I had before (Artemis Touch 4.02 full Red and Black) but with a different OS build. (as Zicanillis advised)
I will use it for a while and let you know if the freezing phone problem has been corrected.
Cheers
One other change that is on my build is page pool.
My page pool is 6 MB, and some Touch and vanilla (included the 4.02 i had) is only 4MB.
In my opinion that could be another issue to test.
My PDA is working just fine now.
Cheers
For me the problem was the OS Build.
I flashed my device with the same 4.02 vanilla but with a different OS buid and the Phoneworks great. Been using for 2 weeks now, never freezes or looses signal.
Cool
Thanks to Zecanillis advice! obrigado !
After trying six or seven WM6.1-based ROMS from three different cookers (19199 and 19209), I'm starting to wonder if there's not something 'seriously' wrong with the WM6.1 base image.
I begins to strike me as some sort of duration-based memory degradation. My experience has been that runtime lasts between 2 and 48 hours before a hard reset is necessary. In my case, I pared my installs down to adding merely my password safe as the only add-on, and still it crashed.
The most interesting pre-crash was going to "Programs" and noticing the number of icon substantially reduced (...and reducing...), and the remaining icons as default program icons.
After about five days of fighting with these and trying different methods of extending runtime, I reloaded an older copy vp3G's 3.0.0 from last summer and haven't had a problem for the past 72 hours. In fact, I had no lock-ups with WM6-based, previously.
I'd be interested in other people's experiences with WM6.1-based ROMs on the Hermes...

i may be wrong, but i think recall reading that flashing back to your stock rom, then flashin to 6.1 may fix some hard reset problems....
as for me, ive used 4 or 5 6.1 roms and havent experienced a hard reset.....my latest and favorite so far is faria's and dr.p's 6.1 rom, been running a week no hard reset...
im usin an at&t branded 8525
i was having a few issues with this but ended up changing radio versions from my standard 1.16 to 1.48.
havent had an issue since doing that.
i had the crash problem also, but after I not install htc cube in any of the wm6.1, everything ok and stable.
problem is with cube in wm6.1 i think.
Faria's is the best so far, but they all have problems to varying extents. Have you tried running Oxios Close apps? That will help you claim back memory and maybe help prevent the need for a hard reset. you can get it here: http://www.oxios.com/memory/

Interesting. I did notice that on some ROM flashes that boot screen retained a previous ROM's splash. That might mean that some ROMs are not including all facets (OS, Radio...Bootloader?) of the complete image. Will give that a shot now that I'm back to a stable WM6.

Radio is 1.45 with vp3G 3.0.0. Will check again after a Faria re-flash and upgrade to 1.48 if it isn't included.

I had that thought too, but my last ROM didn't include any of the HTC apps, at all, so I think it's some conflict or something lower level. The cube 'is' a resource hog, however...

The resets are always due to hard lockups, and they can be with only Activesync running as an application. I try to keep the number of running apps at a minimum for reasons that are probably fairly obvious to all here...
you are not alone...

Im also having the same problem .. all sorts of experiments has been done to test on why WM6.1 crash when I install them .. but 1 thing i noticed that it always hang before softreset that eventually lead to hardreset .. i thought hardware accelerations problem ... so what i do is .. every WM6.1 i changed to 8mbpp .. until now my machine ok.

Flash to stock rom then to wm 6.1... Apparently there is a problem if you flash from big storage rom to wm 6.1(not sure why this is so) but there have been a huge number of people who say this works for them, myself included.... I tried every wm6.1 rom that came out then doing something stupid eflashe stock os. No problems with wm 6.1 since. Also I believe that 19209 is somewhat more stable than versions 19199 or 19202... I'm using PDAViets 19209 rom,just changed to black edition, and have had NO trouble EVER since installing it when it first came out, no soft resets and more importantly, no hard resets... Cheers

After trying almost everything to get more than a few hours of runtime out of WM6.1, I followed the above instructions to the letter and WM6.1 has worked for 24 hours now (yes...a new record). I will update in a few days if the Hermes/Faria 6.1 combo continues to function.
One note: I was not able to use Vista to update to Hard-SPL after the Stock AT&T 6.0 ROM re-flash. Each attempt resulted in an updater error on the PC after the handheld entered bootloader mode. Did the same procedure on XP and it worked flawlessly.
Hey. Had the same problems but i solved it with flashing a AT&T Stock Rom first.
Now my Hermes with PDAVIET B&C WM6.1 Rom running like a flash
Without any freezes.

Sorry, but following those instructions does NOT solve my problem. It does for some, but not all.
What works for ME, is to turn off the Storage Card power saving.

Hi there,
after using my o2 Xda Diamond for over a month now on the original ROM, today I finally installed my first custom ROM. After reading through many of the cooked ROM threads, I decided to use the "SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-v7-0-Lite-12MbPP", which i got here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408109.
After downloading the ROM, I also got the HardSPL "Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex" from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2312249#post2312249
which allows you to install the custom ROM.
After connecting my Diamond through Active Sync and the Mobility Center from my Windows Vista, I started the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" found in the unpacked SPL folder, and pressed the "ok" button on the Diamond Screen to start the installation. After that the Xda Screen turned black, while the progress bar on the Windows update setup, not on the Phone showed 0%, directly after that it finished saying the connection was broken. I just started the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" again and everything went the way it should.
After the restart I went to the unpacked "SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-v7-0-Lite-12MbPP" folder to start the "ROM.exe" there, which starts the actual ROM installation.
After like 5min or something the Phone reboots, progs getting installed ect. and I was ready to use it.
Furthermore I installed a few custom applications and in two of them you might be interested in. Or lets say you should be, because they rock =)
1. A simple battery display tool "ArielBattery2" which can be found here:
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364278"
and after changing the background color to black and the battery bar to white,
you get a perfect match with the TouchFlo3D theme used in the SwiftBL ROM.
2. A great config tool for TouchFlo3D "Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7" which can be found here:
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749".
So far I am very pleased with my phone. Its fast, stable and everything goes the way it should. Im really glad I switched to the SwiftBL ROM, for me it´s a huge upgrade in every way to the default ROM provided by o2.
I also wanted to thank you guys for the hard work and the time you spend creating custom Software for our phones, I really appreciate it.

Hi There.
I think this should be in his thread.
/HallengreeN
Just switch over to SwiftBL rom from panosha's.
i had been a fan of swift rom since v2.0 ... can only say that he had the fastest and most stable ones around.
And why are this posts not is SwiftBL ROM thread?
yer init....
GLad to see you managed to get away from you O2 mould though
Hello. I have a G3 (Bootloader version: 1.01) Universal (Vodafone VPA IV). Until last week I was using the Tomal 8.5 standart edition ROM, and then I decided that I need something different - faster and new I upgraded to Vanilla's VNInt latest ROM and it was good until I installed some apps and then the uni started to freeze and needed a soft reset. The situation was awful and I decided to return the 8.5 Tomal ROM and everything was fine for a couple of days - no need to soft reset. Last night Win_XP advised me to flash with Mo3ulla's latest ROM and so I did. Very fast but the Uni again started to freeze and needs soft reset. Not so often as with the VNInt ROM but still it's annoying
So if anyone has an idea how to fix this problem - please share, I would be very thankful!
P.S. My english is not very good, so if you do not understand something - ask me and I will try to explain it in better way .
I had the same freezing problem with VNint's ROM as well. What I saw was it freezed for about 10-15 seconds, then it came back to life again (so without a reset). I switched to Tomal's 8.5 ROM which has this problem too, but less than VNint's ROM. I think it's a kernel problem, both ROMs use the same kernel version.
