Patch 3 WM2005

Has anyone used this yet? Last time I installed WM2005 I used patch 1 and now there is a Patch 3, whats the difference? Any bug fixes, etc?

It's reported to be faster, especially in certain read/write operations. I'm not sure, but I think it's correct. At least my BA seems a bit more responsive now. Look at the patch thread in the upgrade forum.

I just put this on my XDA2s last night. Here's a list of bugs/problems I've found so far. Perhaps someone could help me sort them out!
Album app doesn't work properly if opened from file explorer
Can't specify incoming files folder for bluetooth (not a bug but a standard feature of any phone and the old ROM)
No MSN messenger
No wifi icon next to bluetooth icon
Activesync takes like 5 minutes!
The keyboard doesnt work properly (ie letters freeze resulting in words like thisssssssssssssssssss)
After pressing 'hang up' in a call it takes about 10 seconds to do so. Even then the connected icon still remains at the top for a further 10 seconds.
Camera button only opens the app but doesn't take pictures
There's probably patches for some of this but I've not found them yet.

Patch 3 on an imate with Tmobile US results
Loaded it this morning on my imate pda2k. MSN works for me. When I tried the camera button it would come up but when I released it it woudl closel. Loaded the Camera 2k5 from 9/8 and now the app opens up and I see the image from the camera but when you press the button it does not take the picture/ start the movie camera (I'd really like to see this fixed) Do NOT load the button fixes from v1 and v2. They re map the buttons in a manner that is not consistent with their legends. If you do load it and want to back it out go to settings, remove programs and back it out. I can now get GPRS working on T-mobile US where on v1 and v2 it didn't like it. Am using Active Sync 4.1 wich is great! (although slow). If you are trying to sync up at all and you are using an exchange server make sure outlook is open and connected or it gets upset the first time. So far I like it. Still a little slower that 2003SE. Will post more as i play with it.
SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THE CAMERA

Camera Still dead after reload
took m5 and started fresh, loaded everythig remcommended but the camera still doesnt work. the button launches the application but when you press it while you are in the appliation it does not take a picture or start the video
Help

Better Discription of camera problem
If I dont load the button fix then the camera operates as in previous post, program launches but cant take picture. If I load the button fix, then when i hit the camera button camera help launches (explorer) instead of the camera App. How do I edit the keys? and how do I get the camera to take pictures. Other wise life is good so far

Camera now works
Go figure, loaded the caller ID cab and dumped the fles usng file dump from buzz and now the camera works. Sorry about all of the useless info

i installed the v3 and for some reason, my other sim card the roaming one is working perfectly, coz im using dual sim card....no problem so far, great work....

It often takes up to an hour to get a text message from the time it was sent. Does anyone else experience this?

I use this rom with 1.51 radio till the rom is issued. I never had to soft reset because the rom crashed. The only really annoying issue i had is the bluetooth's one (Time to time, it is impossible to reactivate bluetooth without SR. This is why i do not desactivate it anymore ). We can always argue on choices, taste and colors but this rom is quite stable and fast enough for what i do.
EDIT: BTW check also which applications you have loaded. Did you reinstall a backup done with SPB after coming from another rom? I experienced many problems with that. Even if not pretty, i always reinstall now all my applications after installing a new rom (and i use pimbackup for calendar, contacts,... infos)

I have same problem too, thx

Post in Schaps 3.60 thread...

Not so as you think
I don't agree with that the ROM issue after call. Your deveice may be has some problem. What about bluetooth yes, there is some interesting moment that you select open bluetooth, it doesn't open, as soon as you mark to open you should restart your deveice, then it starts with opened bluetooth. BUt when you are going to turn the bluetooth off there is no problem.
I'm sure, Schap as a great moderator will solve this problems in next generation of his ROMs. The variation 3.60a (has posted), may be 3.60b, then 3.60c may be. Or he will post something interesting like Iphone platform.(I want him to do it)

I have the same problem too, what I have discover is that during the call and the screen is off (either it off automatically after a time or you press the power button) then anytime you power on the screen again in between the call or after the call in a short time the problem tiggered.
the only way you can 'fix' it is to wait until call end then off and on your screen once then the 'start menu' back or wait for an amount of time until the phone lock tigger (that one with number pad)
I said 'fix' (with quote) because this definitely a temporary solution to deal with this problem
hope schaps can get more idea in how to trigger the problem and can fix this soon
other than this issue, the rom is really very great
cheers.

To the OP,
If you are using a Hermes I suggest you reflash from scratch ie Schaps ver 3.6 rom, then use radio rom version 1.47.10..
Install ALL your applications from scratch, manually. DO NOT restore from a previous backup using, say SPB Backup; that will screw your installation. Make sure all your apps are the latest versions, capable of running under WM6.
Preferably install one app at a time, as you would anyway, then test the phone and make sure it is working before installing another app, and so on.
Don't install a theme changer or other similar software until you are absolutely sure your installation works. Leave the performance parameter settings as they are, ie at default.
If all else fails use the ROM combination in my signature below. Rock solid installation, no problems or crashes.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers
WB

have same problem also has anybody found that if you use internet shearing and recive a call you cant hear anyone and phone searches for network
thankz,
jdc21

no crashing for me..
the rom is really stable.
apart from the bluetooth issue its really good..
really stable and fast enough..
works really great for me..
Thanks Schaps for such a great rom.
waiting for 3.60b

Take care that Phone Dialer Skin could cause this kind of problem

wacky.banana Is maybe right
I have Schap's 3.60a along with my trusty Radio 1.47.10
No BT Issue till now
I use BT also with DrYAR-Bluetooth 1.6 (Whoopy!) No Issues at all either starting or Stopping BT
I'm using It for two days now It's OK
Did I mention that this rom Is even FASTER than the previous 3.5x?

i hav the same problem

When did this problem start?

I didnt have the bluetooth turn on just using it normally.and all application i install is fresh onto the phone memory.never install any program on the SD card.about the dialer skin i use Schen Kaiser 3G dialer.
Anyone got fix yet?

Same issue, not just Schap 3.60a

I've had this same issue for weeks now, ever since the newer ROMs have come out for the official releases (i'll have to track back the build numbers). I had it with Sleuth's last release, the vp3G 3.0 release, and now Schap's 3.60. I've done what other posters have said and hard reset, not loaded any apps, and still have the issue.
I believe I have tracked it down to do with X-button, as that's one of the few apps that is installed without customizations in both Sleuth and vp3G (and I run it in Schap 3.60a). My next step is to run vp3G 3.60 lite, without X-button, and see if that really solves my problem.

As a follow-up, I went to VP3G 3.60.1 install, ran the base install with nothing else installed and still had the problem. Still, the workaround suggested by others (putting the phone in standby and coming out) fixes the issue for me.

(start menu?) Program menu keeps whiting out. help

Need some advice. My program menu on my xda keeps whiting out.
On an initial start (or after editing the program list) the program list (or start menu) displays fine.
On the 2nd click some icons start doubling up at the bottom and fill the screen.
The on the 3rd click it goes off the bottom of the screen and goes completely white!
What gives? I've editing the number of items, looking in the registry at start menu opetions, deleting programs, but nothing solves it.
Performance etc not hampered but its really annoying. It MIGHT have started after installing a c++ cube program launcher (not sure).
if anyone has ideas to fix it please let me know.
TIA Sean

Hey I just had that exact same issue earlier. I was editing my \Windows\start Menu\Programs folder and making some adjustments when i noticed it happening. I kinda narrowed it down to being something to do with HButton. I was fiddling with the Hbutton display options just after modifying the programs folder. After more fiddling with the HButton display (changing colour and position) and a soft reset, my Start menu started working fine again and I havent had any problems with it again so far.
Probably nothing at all to do with it but thats what seems to have fixed mine as i didnt touch anything else but HButton and it is now resolved.
hope this helps in some way
[EDIT] completely ignore what I just put above, its just happeed again. The only thing I have done this time is Activesync and install a game. Kinda thinking it has something to do with Activesync now.......

lol oh well i guess i'll have to put up with it for now then. half a mind to send it back to O2 but its a software bug, I'll get the problem on the next phone as well.

Try to see in Memory the program values.
In my experience when tou have few program memory, start and today redrow is very difficult.
It happened me some times ago when i tryed a rom with problems of memory allocation.
You can try another rom (today you have many chose )

Well considering my phone is one a month old I dont think I'll be flashing the rom JUST yet.
And update: for some reason the start menu is back to normal behavior! Absolutely no idea why. Just when i was getting used to it as well.

Touch Pro 2 - Needs Hard reset everytime it needs to be soft-reset

===============UPDATE==============
The application was the SPB Fullscreen Keyboard v4.11 that was the culprit, verified over 3 hard resets that this is the offending program.
I hope this saves anyone else from going through the grief I have suffered. I completely forgot to include it on my list below so I am glad I had the patience to test one more time. (I ussualy forget to install it, then go to txt message or something and install it).
==================================
I am pretty much at wits end here and am preparing to return this huge lump of crap to the store. It seems that if I install "pretty much anything" and NOT use the touch-flo garbage... the phone will work great.... until i need or want to soft-reset it....
then the logo comes up, the ROM/RADIO numbers, and then the screen turns black, to never come on again.
Having worked for Sprint for 5 years, and moreover having built my own custom roms at PPCGeeks for 2 years I feel that I have a pretty good grip on the ins & outs of windows mobile.
I have NO clue what is going on with this phone.
I have three of them in my possession. It happens on all three.
I install each application, ONE-AT-A-TIME, soft reset after every single install, its fine. I wait a day or so, soft reset... SURPRISE you gotta redo your phone.
I have narrowed it down to a few programs that *may* be the cause of my irritation...
-Phonealarm (overrides the notifications...???)
-Ptravelalarm (and three other alarm programs) notification flaw???
-Memmaid (deals with notifications...???)
I dont expect anyone to know the answer, maybe someone else is having this issue (i hate Touch-Flo) and is trying to install programs to make the handset usable from the today-screen.
I am going to list my installed programs, and maybe, just maybe, someone smarter than myself can pinpoint the culprit.
-batti 2.4
-calendar plus
-sbp fullscreen keyboard 4.11
-google maps 3.21 (never GPS locks btw)
-iContact 95
-phonealarm 2.30
-pTravelalarm 2.81
-Resco File Explorer 7.05
-rlToday v22b
Thats it, thats all i use on my phone, im a creature of simplicity. On the todayscreen i have phonealarm, rltoday, ptravelalarm, calander+
I went to the forums for both phonealarm & memmaid, and there doesnt seem to be any threads with my issue. ptravelalarm has no support, but I have tried g-alarm, gsalarm & poweralarm, and they all seem to fail as well.
Again I cant narrow it down to a single application because after an install and reset it works fine. Its like "after the program simmers" that it wants to "Black-Screen" the phone.
I am 100% sure that a custom ROM will alleviate all of my issues as I am using all of those programs on a 6800 and a 6900, with WM 6.1 & WM 6.5 respectively.
They even work on the stock roms for both handsets....
Any ideas? How far out is the HARD-SPL? I have about 3 weeks left before I have to return these things.
Thank you for reading, and any help that may be forthcoming.

I'm having the exact same issue, it's very frustrating to pay $400+ for a phone only to have it blackscreen of death you every time you try to boot it up. Touchflo seems nice but it just adds extra button presses to what should be straightforward tasks. I hope things turn around but right now I'm not impressed.

GPS apps stop

Hello
I tried TomTom and Waze, but those apps are having the same issue.
So i guess it's more a system issue, than software.
I launch one or other, set my travel, then go (or stay idle for test).
After some times (less than 5 minutes i guess) the app close.
I don't use task killer, i use stock sony rom, latest version.
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks

i've done more tests with WAZE:
when it is active, it does not vanish.
when it is sent in background, (only the icone in the status bar is present to say that waze is active but backgrounded) then after some minutes it stops. (no need to set a trave, just launch and go to the map, then hit home button and wait into the desktop).
Can someone do the same testing at least to tell me if you got the same issue??
Thanks .
