Hi guys!
I'm using a Trinity (WM6; Build 17944.0.3.1), everythings is great - except whenever I do a soft reset my messaging accounts are no longer there (Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) default accounts such as Text & MMS are intact but I always end up setting up my Yahoo & Gmail account whenever I do a soft reset.
Any tips?
locate a file called "startclean" in /windows/startup, and delete it, that could be the reason.

I opened my startup folder and there is no reference to "startclean."
I have the following: btdwake, poutlook & VCDaemon. I already did a hard reset & after setting up a new message account (Yahoo & Gmail) after resetting these accounts vanish.
Help!

you can use this to restore them accounts, works great.
I've noticed the same thing happening on my P3600 after installing certain programs (too bad I dont remember which ones) but only on certain ROM's

Got it. Thanks! Will send feedback once I get my device setup.
Thanks again.
Problem Solved - for me anyway
Had the same problem, was driving me crazy untill I found this:
Set up all your settings, email accounts, etc. Make sure your phone is not plugged in to your charger or sync cable, if it is, unplug the cable and wait a few moments. Turn off your phone by holding the power button for 4 seconds,
then restart.
Apparrently this writes the settings to memory so that after a soft reset they won't be lost.
I did this two days ago and the problem has not re-occurred for me.
Here's hoping.
Messaging accounts and passwords disappearing probably solved!
Hi to all!
After a few days with this terrible problem I think I've found a solution!
For me it works for 100% and I really hope that it'll help you too.
So, the theory (you can look immediately to the next chapter if you don't care about details and just want the solution):
Problem with settings (mail accounts, passwords, exchange folders) disappearing and known solution (start IE, disconnect, turn off) telling us that problem is connected with saving settings to the filesystem.
There might be 3 problems:
1. Some huge cache for system setting. Flush operation is not so often, so everything lost during a soft reset.
2. Some error in system databases support.
3. We're closing system application in some wrong way....
So, I started with simple 3rd variant and I've found out that all of us are using HTC X-button application to close running programs instead of minimize them.
Currently I have installed PDAVIET rom with X-Button 1.51 (build 30470).
The Solution:
Open registry editor and remove X-Button daemon "taskserStart.exe" - go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Init and find value "LaunchXX" with data "taskserStart.exe" and delete it!
That's all!
Thank you!
EDIT:
To avoid misunderstanding I'll describe steps:
1. Delete registry value: "Open registry editor and remove X-Button daemon "taskserStart.exe" - go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Init and find value "LaunchXX" with data "taskserStart.exe" and delete it!"
2. SoftReset
3. Enter passwords, restore accounts etc.
4. Completed!
Also I've found previous version of X-Button and with this version accounts and passwords don't disappear: View attachment X-Button1.5.cab

Does this mean, that the Installation of the linked X-Button 1.5 version
would avoid the problem??

In general, yes, but I didn't try to install older version above working newer version.
What I did is:
1. Removed registry key and then soft reset.
2. Install older version.
Thank you!
As to me X-button is not related to this issue. This is a feature of wm6 implemented with bugs by Dopod, who provided a lap with bugs.
This issue and others can affect a lot (if not every) dopod roms, It can be mitigated by disabling file system cache, but require a new lap to be solved.
Have a look here and around for further information:

Hi!
As I said, it might be problem with cache, but nevertheless new version of X-Button closes system applications in different way than old version (probably using KillProcess or something... I didn't study it in details) and with old one system applications have time to save their settings.
It is true that reason is not in X-Button, but using old version I don't have this problem at all.
Solution is not for fixing a bug in OS, but for avoiding the problem.
Thank you!
P.S. Thanks for the link. I'll study it.

Thanks mcnl6754,
However not long after I posted, I lost my settings again. I haven't tried esofts fix yet. I was hoping for some more feedback first.
I did ring HTC (Australia) about this, they denied any fault of the ROM.
I am using the latest official ANZ rom from their website.

After trying out your suggestion - I have sucessfully retained my message settings for 3 days without a glitch so far. Have done as much as 10 soft resets just to make sure it was retained. So for me everything has worked out perfectly.
Thanks again.
Hi to all!
I have to tell that disabling X-Button was working for a week or so and then I lost my settings again.
Also I tried to disable file system cache, it was working for a few days and yesterday night I've lost my settings once more.
100% solution doesn't exist yet.
I'll keep trying, but I feel like it would be easier to create small application which will configure everything (network, e-mails) and put it into autostart. :-\ I'll work on this issue next weekend.

Okay, lots of hx2000 users already flashed their roms, now facing the bugs:
# A2DP not working, please try this software. It might work for your IPAQ hx2000 series.
Attached Bluetooth Audio Router. Please give me reports if it works.
# Battery Drained Issue: Have you ever left your Pocket PC in your bag for the night and the next morning discovered that the handheld’s battery was flat?
ActiveSync
1) Go to Start> Program> ActiveSync> Menu> Add Server Source, under Server address put 1.1.1.1.
2) Tap Next (bottom right)
3) You’ll get three boxes to fill in: Username, Password, Domain. Fill in xxx in all, tap Next, Finish, Menu, Schedule
4)Peak times> change to manually
5) Off-peak times> change to manually
6) On top right click Ok
7) On bottom right click Menu> Options, on bottom middle click Delete, when you get the warning, click Yes.
You're all done. If you follow this fix correctly (as was originally stated above, it will almost always (as it would appear by others posts( fix the battery drain issue.
Messaging Accounts (Outlook Mobile)
Open up the messaging application. Tap Menu > Tools > Options > select the email account you wish to change, then tap Next > Next > Next > Options button. Remove the checkmark in the box next to "Connect and check for messages every xxx minutes." Then tap Next > Next > Finish.

Running Applications
Tap the Running Programs tab, select the application you wish to close, and tap the Stop button (or you can tap the Stop All button to close all running applications). Be sure all applications closed before turning off your IPAQ.
Power Setting
Pocket PC devices that are running Windows Mobile turn on at midnight to search for appointments for the coming day. Reminders are set and the Today view is updated with the day's events, thus on Battery power, turn off device if not used for 1 minute, Backlight on battery power: 30 seconds.
You can adjust whatsoever you want, the rule is turn off device > turn off backlight.
TODAY Plug-ins:
Better you uninstalled all today plug-ins thrid party progs.
Installed programs on SD/CF running in memory sometimes not respond after you turn on from automatic battery turn off.
It takes between 3-5 seconds to get response and/or sometimes program automatically closed by itself.
Solution: installed the programs in DEVICE.
Tips: Remove any unnecessary files in memory storage, so you will have more ROM memory storage.
After I turn on the device(2490b) from automatic battery turn off every time the backlight on battery power change to 10 seconds, no matter which setting I was choose. Until the device power off(auto or manually) the setting works, but after power on the setting change to 10 seconds again. Have anyone else this issue? Any solution?

Uhmm strange, try to do clean reset whether the symptom disappear.
BT phone manager that you missed in wm6.0

Dear All,
Please pay attention that after making changes, installing new software or doing your usual software settings it is advisable to power off your device before soft-resetting.
Example, I recently setup my Inbox mail accounts and soft resetted my device in a usual way. After a soft reset I found out that none of my accounts was actually kept. So, I did setup again, powered off my device and soft-resetted it. After soft-reset all mail accounts were saved and were workable
To limit CPU Usage
1.Do the Activesync Fake server trick then turn all schedule to manual
To prevent Compaction
1.As much as possible free your program memory and install all programs in the SD of CF (if possible)
2.Move all cache to SD or CF (memmaid or SKtools can do this)
Registry: ActiveSync Manually
The above Activesync fix will also fix the problem many are having with not being able to turn on their WM6 unit.
JUST TO MAKE SURE ACTIVESYNC IS MANUALLY ACTIVATED:
You can also check the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ActiveSync\Engines\{176F 4FFD-F20C-4bd4-BDD7-01D0726C567B}\Settings] SyncAfterTimeWhenCradled (x)
Where x is one of the following:
0=Manually synchronize
5=5 minutes. Default value.
15=15 minutes
30=30 minutes
60=60 minutes
120=2 hours
240=4 hours
Here is real fix for A2DP problem on any custom hx2000 firmwares (e.g. 3.50, 3.52, WM6).
Download this cab file: Udillak_A2DP_Fix_for_hx2000_custom_firmwares.cab
Install it, make softreset and relax with working sound and controls of your bluetooth headphones.
Hello,
Since I've installed WM6 on my hx2790b it's great for everything but the PIM...
It's impossible to add a contact, an appointment, etc... It tells me "An unexpected error has occurred in this program." And it's impossible to synchronize the PIM with my PC
Any idea ?
Try to flash rom again, but you must do clean reset before (holding 1+power+3+ and stylus-reset). After successful update, u must do a clean reser again (on screen "formatting ps").
Synchronizing with PC, you must use the latest ActiveSync 4.5.

Calibrating your Battery
Read this:
http://h41206.www4.hp.com/webapps/IV3/adddoc.iv?locale=en_us&type=rep&prodSeriesId=349051&target=/NL_HW_IPG_iPAQ_common_EN_01_E/Resets/AllipaqsPoweIssuesBatteryCalibration.html&node=prodITRC/NL_HW_IPG_iPAQ_common_EN_01_E/N1|4|2|3&prodTypeId=215348&serverId=1
Calibrating your Battery
Power issues you may experience with your iPAQ over time:
* Unit fails to Power On
* Unit fails to charge 100% only holding 50% of the charge
Important: If you experience problems with power on your unit the fault may not be with the main battery. Swap testing the battery with a known good working battery may show the same fault. Calibrating your unit by running the 'Battery Calibration' test may resolve 'Power Related Issues'. You must follow the tests below exactly for good results.
1. Charge the unit for 30 minutes (No More, No Less) only powered by AC Adapter and 22-pin connector and not connected to the PC/Cradle (make sure the unit is switched/powered off).
2. Remove the power and full 'Hardware Reset' and then 'Soft Reset'.
3. Charge the unit again for 4 hours connected to ac power only. By following the procedure exactly as outlined in the steps above this will enable full calibration of the battery with the unit (make sure the unit remains switched/powered off during this charge period).
Note: After a software reset the power Leds (Light Emitting Diodes) should now be on and the battery should be showing 100%. If the unit still fails on power do the following checks:
*Test the AC Adapter at another location/power source.
*Swap test The AC Adapter if possible.
THIS WILL HELP BATTERY DRAINED ISSUE of WM6.0 in some HX2000 series; USING SKTOOL or MEMMAID:
1. KILL BioDtect in Windows Startup
2. Set Credant Manager in StartupService as MANUAL and STOP.
3. Set Standby into 24 Hr in Power Setting
4. Soft reset
5. DO NOT EVER EVER RECHARGE YOUR IPAQ USING USB in the CRADLE!!! RECHARGE YOUR IPAQ USING CABLE POWER SUPPLY ADAPTOR!!!
Bricked My Ipaq! hx2795... HELP!!
Hi,
I just got an Ipaq hx2795 and I upgraded to WM6, and it worked perfectly!. However, I saw a supposedly upgraded version of WM6 and i tried to install it, and too hastily I think. I did it without first removing my SD and CF cards. the upgrade said it went through ok on the PC, but it froze on the PPC, about halfway. ever since then, I've only been able to bring up the pda in pre-BL mode. Whenever I attempt to re-load any ROM (WM5 or WM6), I get the error message that the language of my current ROM is unknown and hence, the upgrade cannot go through. To further complicate my problem, I was trying to recover it about 3 nights ago and accidentally left the pda on all night in pre-BL mode. Now I think the battery is dead and I do not know how to charge it. Is there any resource or anyone that can help me with this problem? Is there a way to load the rom and Ignore the language setting on the Ipaq? What should I do now? HELP!!
Please let me know ASAP and Thanks!!

Thanks for the assistance, however the flash keeps on saying that my pda's language is "unknown" and hence stops the upgrade as a result. What do i do about this?

WM6 hx2795 and WiFi
Hello everyone,
I just came across this forum today, and was very happy to. I flashed my rom from wm5 to wm6 and definitely like wm6 more.
Now for my bug. I'm using an hx2795. Wi-Fi worked in wm5, now after I flashed the WiFi manager will connect to a AP then says 'Driver not loaded.' and disconnect. I saw Anavas' post in the "i will pay..." thread and said that wifi was working on his. So, I'm guessing it's possible to have wifi on this model. I'm hoping he/she or someone else can help me out? It's just strange that it seems to start working (can shortly do SiteSurvey as well sometimes)...
As can be guessed the driver update from HP doesn't work (incorrect revision error).
Resetting makes it works for a short time, but then I get the 'Driver not loaded' thing.
/* EDIT
* This only appears to happen when in the cradle. I took it out and it didn't give me anymore problems...weird, maybe something to do with connecting through usb vs wi-fi conflict?
*/
Thanks a bunch.
CE OS 5.2.1437 (Build 17944.0.3.1)
hi,
I checked with my hx2795 and I don't have any problem connecting WiFi so far,
I can able to connect it from my home and the office.
I even checked with the cradle, I have no problem,
Have you done a hard reset once you flashed the ROM, or did you install any other driver / software ?
I used my ppc at school all day today, and plugged it in cradle just now. I can't repeat the error, so I have no idea how, but it's working just fine. So....solution was to do nothing and let it go away, haha.

Great Job. Thanks From Portugal.
when i power on my hermes or just do a soft boot, bluetooth powers on by itself everytime.
I have made no changes in the last 4 weeks to change things, but it started this last week.
I can not find anything that will allow me to correct it. I go in and uncheck the activate bluetooth box in comm manager after it boots up but it will recheck it when i reboot.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
get a reg editor and look up
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\pan]
"ActivateOnBoot"=dword:0
see if activate on boot is set to 1, if yes, change it to 0 and do a reboot. this might be the problem...
I've recently flashed my Orange UK diamond from the original Orange ROM to a cooked ROM, and since the update I've been unable to Lock Device... a long end key press makes the screen flash and return to the Touch Flo home page, but the device remains on, without keys locked. If I change the Long Press End Key option to display Quick List, then tap Lock Device the same thing happens. I've seen a couple of posts with the same issue, but no resolution.
My upgrade path was as follows:
Original Orange UK stock ROM
Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex
Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05
SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-ROM-v6.2-Full
Duttys_Diamond_5.2.20748_V1_9_Radio_1.00.25.07_Full
SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-v6-5-Full-16MbPP
I tried Key Lock on the last 3 ROMs none of them worked (one of the reasons I tried the other two ROMS after 1st flash). I didn't try key lock after the Hard-SPL flash, so maybe an issue with Hard-SPL?
Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone got any suggestions on what might be the problem? Any other information I could supply to make this easier to diagnose?
Sorry if I've posted this incorrectly, but I'm a newbie to these forums!
Cooks can change settings. Maybe the set locking off. Download advance config and enable locking. It can be found here: http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool.html. Look under section "screen".
I've had a look at the Advanced Config program. I enabled the "Auto Device Lock" option. This password locks the device when it's turned off for more than 5 seconds, but I only really wanted the key lock option (where a password is not required). Any other ideas?
After having thoroughly read the 280 pages of the UM of my Rhodium, I've tried several times (three digits number !) to hard-reset my machine, but alas, without success.
I've tried every possible combination of ON/START/STOP buttons but none works.
I either happen to make the message "do you want to switch off your mobile" (in french, as French am I) or the menu to activate ringer/vibrator etc to appear, but never ever got the ability to hard-reset my unit.
What's wrong with me/my Rhodium ?
Thx in advance mates !
Instructions on how to hard reset are in the wiki. Don't know what these "ON/START/STOP" buttons you mentioned are. The buttons involved in making a hard reset are the Power, Call Send, and Call End keys.
Alternatively, you can go to "Clear Storage" in your settings and follow the directions on screen.

You do know that you need to turn off the device first? Alternatively, do a "clear storage" as mentioned above, if you still have access to your device.

Yes, I do know, thank you for your response, and I tried either way unsuccessfully !
I do have access to my machine but needed it to be fully reset.
"clear storage" works fine, but that does not explain me why the "three finger salute" fails...
You are keeping the SEND and END keys down whilst you turn the POWER on aren't you? then releasing only when you see the tricolour screen
I updated the wiki page the other day to make the steps a bit clearer.
Give it antoher go .

Problems with Hard Reset on a Verizon Touch Pro 2
Hi Guys,
I've had my Verizon version of the phone since the beggining of the week and I cannot make a Hard Reset work either. The combination of Send/End/Power buttons do not work, and on my Verizon version there is no "Clear Storage" item under the system tab in settings. I've watched the U-Tube clip in the Wiki, and I note that HTC's site for the Verizon variant refers to using "Clear Storage".
Looking in the Windows directory there is a Clear Storage html file but there is no ClearStorage.exe. I have extracted a ClearStorage.exe from my Tilt and inserted it into the Windows directory of the Touch but to no avail.
Does anybody have a fix for this? Could this be another "exclusion" by Verizon to stop us working with our phones?
Sorry to insist, but you have turned the device completely OFF, right? So it's not just in "stand by/screen off" power saving mode, but completely off? So that when you press the power button, the phone starts loading WM etc.
Again, sorry to insist, but I couldn't figure out any other reason for the hard reset not to work.
Don't mind you insisting because this issue is stupid. Yes I have turned the phone completely off by pressing the End button until the phone states "Your phone will be turned off. Press No to cancel.
When I attempt the Hard reset it the phone merely restarts regardless of how long I press the buttons.
All this would not be so much of an issue if "Clear Storage" was available. Short of waiting for the first cooked ROM (and therefore Hard SPL) to appear for the CDMA phones, is there any way to put that back? Obviously it requires more than copying the .exe to the windows directory. My Tilt has a 6.5 cooked ROM. Is is possible that the .exe is slightly changed in that one vs 6.1?
Other Verizon phone owners - can you confirm that the "Clear Storage" is missing?
Edited:
On my Verizon, the Clear Storage is on the System tab, under 'Memory'. Select 'Memory' and select the Clear Storage sub tab.

I just confirmed that this works on a Verizon phone. I got the hard reset prompt with this key sequence.
For Verizon users that want to do the clear storage through the OS, it's located under Memory in Settings on the Clear Storage Tab.
Settings -> All Settings -> Memory -> Clear Storage
Happy formatting :-D
Thanks everyone
Thanks everyone for resolving this.
This is what HTC Touch Pro2 (Verizon) site says under FAQ "General & Others":
"Q. What does a Hard Reset do and how is it performed?
A hard reset removes all information from your device and returns it to a state just like it has never been used before. All contacts, messages, emails, 3rd party applications, etc. will need to be reinstalled after performing a hard reset. To perform a hard reset, navigate to Start > Settings > All Settings > System (tab) > Clear Storage. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete. This process will take 5-10 minutes".
Clearly no reference to being under the Memory Icon. The link is:

Could we ask the moderator to arrange for the Wiki to be updated for the CDMA vcersions?
I have a Verizon TP2. Clear Storage on my phone is located at Settings/Memory and then the Clear Storage Tab. It asks you to enter a number to reset your phone and restore Verizon default settings.
Edit: Bah, guess I didnt see the second page )
