[Q] G sign bug - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

hi everybody.. after enabling gprs on my SIM I'm having this problem with my phone:
I've uploaded he pic that best describes the problem on it. (as I am a new member the forum do not allow me to attach an outside link so I had to put a link)
ok. I think I have to explain it: whenever I connect to gprs the G sign on top (that is a beautiful tiny one with round corner) change to a ugly big white like G and it reamins so even after disconnecting from gprs! and after passing some minutes or some hours it goes back to the original form. sometimes it happens automatically without conecting to gprs. the big G sign is really bad looking and disturbes all the beauties there.
I don't know if I could describe the problem or not. in the pic it was exactly mentioned but the forum doesn't allow me to upload it. any way that was the problem
any solution?
my phone: HTC pro2 - updated by win6.5 official
thanks all very much

Problem with Skype

Has anyone been using Skype lately on their Qtek 9090? I'm having a problem using it. When I make a Skypeout call it will suddenly hang up the call, and although the Qtek says the Wifi connection is still active I can no longer access the internet on it. If I close down the wifi connection then try to reconnect it can't do it anymore, I get no connection at all unless I soft reset and then it connects fine.
Anyone know if there is any kind of problem with wifi on the qtek 9090?
Thanks,
Dimitri
I have your problem
Yay, finally someone suffering the same issues as I do!! I have this on an XDA IIs which is based on the same HTC Blue Angel as your 9090.
Have you tried skype what stood next to your AP? In my case I dont get the problem with max signal, but with anything less it shows its self.
Not alot of help of course, if you have to stand next to the AP you might as well sit at a PC and use that version!
Have a look at:
http://forum.skype.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=12511&sid=c7678729e0141ce3db97a475731b419a
And please add a 'me too' comment to the end of said message. The skype devs pick up stuff from their forum and 2 people with the same issue might mean they fix it.
To be honest, since skype hangup kills wifi for *any* application (soft reset required), it is likely microsoft's fault - skype is simply uncovering a bug in MS's software. Put simply, no app, no matter how badly behaved should be able to take out your internet connection. I have a suspicion that this problem is initiated by some kind of malformed packet. I have seen the same problem with bluetooth. I think it takes out the IP stack, rather than just yr wifi.
Anyway, here's hoping for a fix...

Hi veletron,
I saw your reply just after writing a post on the Skype forums. I'm sure what you think is wring is pretty right but I'm really hoping that it's a Skype problem as I don't see any fixes for the problems that exists with the Blue Angel being forthcoming.
After reading your post on the Skype forums I realised that I had already had a full conversation using skype when I was sitting at my desk but as soon as I try to get more comfortable futher away they cut out. What's strange is that even when I'm next to my AP, I don't see any difference in the signal bar.
Dimitri
Hi
WiFi reception on the blue angel is known to be sh1te. I wish they had included a dell style bluetooth/wifi antenna on the top!
I played around with some units in PC world, alongside mine. They were getting a much better signal from the BTopenzone AP than my XDA did.
The other HTC devices saw several updates during their lifetimes, hopefully the blue angel will get fixed. I have so far encountered about 25 bugs, some of which are pretty serious ones.

Lets get a head start on B&B 4.0 release issues

I have been thinking about this for a while so I will go ahead and get it started. We all know that Tom_Codon is currently working on V 4.0, and as always he will thoroughly test it before release. I thought maybe we could, as a community, come to a conclusion on the fixes for the upcoming rom.
We all know the problems such as
1. Dialerpad not working for redial( green button) different dialerpad fixed
2. Flashing issue that was resolved.
3 HTC plugin going to vibrate during appointments- not a rom problem but an issue
4. Weather for "your town"- not a rom problem but an htc server issue.
We need to get together a complete set list,if you will, of known issues so that these bugs can be worked out before the Rom hits "production".
PLEASE, dont turn this into a request thread. Lets make an effort as a community to help Tom, put out the best Rom of his ability.
I have talked with him recently and he feels that the Touchflo is working flawlessly, but this is going to be a completely new build, from a new version of windows 6. So there MUST be some test time
I think as a group we can pitch in and give some targets to look at, via our experiences with 3.7
On another note, many people have donated to Tom, but the truth of the matter is more have not. I understand that times are hard, for some, harder for others, but we should look at it like this, If Tom wasnt doing what he was doing, along with others like him(none have released anything as complex and mature as Toms) werent doing what they are doing, you would already be in the market for another ppc, some, like here in America, having to pay upwards of $550.00 like myself.
Some of us appreciate the hard work of others and are willing to cough up $ without much proding, while others just download and go. I myself am guilty of such actions, I mean I do have and have had a usenet account for about 3 years, and have used bit torrent since it was in command prompt days(bit commet anyone) but I do recognize hard work and a love for what one is doing, so please make Tom feel your appreciation, this guy is having to go way out of his way to do research for us, due to internet issues, so please donate to Tom's work. Drink one less caramel mociado,beer or coke for that matter and send some $.
Back on topic.
Please help by posting any known issues with 3.7 so 4.0 can be tested properly, Thanks.
I agree with 1 to 4 in the previous post, also, the dialer writes text in green, this is very hard to see and suggest changing to white text.
5. Dialer text changed to WHITE for easier reading
Another Issue
First of all Congrats to Tom for making the bes PPC a million times better.
I had some issues, besides the redial button some programs crash my machine, for example yahoo go 2 and others.
Also the machine sometimes restarts itself with programs like tomtom and google.
Thanks for all your hard work!!!!!
5 good point, I am sure that will or has been changed already
yahoo go... what others, lets try to make a thorough list
6. Inclusion of TouchFlo cab
(The dialpad was really a big issue in my friend's phone i upgraded, so had to go back to B&B 3.0)
Thanks for all ur great efforts Tom!
I fully agree with post 1.
The only thing that is not working for me is the camera.
Gpsphoto is not working for me. Gps is not turning on.
And the colors of dailpad. They are now green but difficult to read.
White is much better.
For the rest it runs perfect.
But please Tom take your time.
And guys the rom is for free so donate to Tom. Mobile Telco's have to pay Microsoft for this update. And we get this for free.
I haven't donated as well but i will this week.
There is a workaround for GPS Photo. Just change to main memory as storage. Then restart the camera and off you go Nasty thing is that you have to do this every time you want GPS photo. It's a ROM issue and has nothing to do with Tom

Hi all,
my only (not so big) problem in B&B 3.7 that I wonder to be solved in the new version is the camera delay problem, when I push the button it takes about 3-4s for the camera to take te photo.
The other issue is pics destination folder. My old ROM saves the photos to \storage card\my docs\my picture, that was very nice, this new camera saves the photos to a specific folder, it's not a big problem, just annoying...
By the way the B&B 3.7 is the best rom what I've ever tried, so Tom, appreciate your work...
Hi!
I don't know if I'm the only one, but when I desactivate the WM5storage apps by clicking on "desactivate", it runs TOMTOM automaticaly!
It can be a bug...
@++
TraXer.
Taking a picture in 3.7 takes about 3 seconds.. Still can't fix that..
Wi-Fi issue
Hi @all,
the B&B 3.7 is the best ROM i ever had. Thanks to Tom.
I've an issue with the Wi-Fi start/stop.
I can start and stop Wi-Fi with the comm Manager but if I start Wi-Fi I could not stop Wi-Fi over the Wi-Fi icon on the Headerbar.
Normaly there is a link if you click on the icon [Turn on Wi-Fi] if its off and [Turn off Wi-Fi] if its on.
I have always [Turn on Wi-Fi]... also if its on and if i click, nothing effects.
I don't know if someone else solve this problem and if its a bug.
Cheers
[email protected],
First of all, i would like to express my eternal gratitude for tom who is doing a great work. People like you makes the community better and better.
I have another issue:
when using de X-Button, the rest of icons of the heather bar doesn't show properly. The signal power of the operator displays only left half and he volume icon doesn't show.
make a contact picture also does not work: not file is saved after shotting
Agree
I agree with you and i would like to donate to tom. But i need account information, i don´t use paypal.
However i have not been abel to use Tom´s 3.7 ROM at all. No problem flashing it but my sound on bouth, my HTC P3300 goes balistic (like if my botton was stock)..
This has happend everytime i tryid this ROM and i tryid it on my too. P3300 and my body´s too..
So i haven´t realy enjoyed the ROM at all.. just tryid it and shiftet to the new WW3.7 Original (which works flawless on my phones)
.... but still i would like to support the great work and research Tom is doing.. Please make it possible by posting som account information so i can transfer a donation to you Tom
i only tried 3.7 for a short time because i had the battery drain problem, and the redialing problem was getting on my nerves.
however, there were 2 problems (or 2 times the same) that i also have in v3.0 (german version):
wlan and gps connections cant be deactivated using the taskbar icon. the "bubble" always says "no connection".
for wlan, i use connection manager to disconnect. that works perfectly. to stop a gprs connection however, i have to switch to flight mode and back...so:
7. (or whatever) would be nice to have a more confortable way of disconnecting gprs than using flight mode...
to stop a gprs connection however, i have to switch to flight mode and back...so:

I haved the same problem but after looking close all the app (like msn messenger) who use Gprs Data and with com manager you can stop it ^^
More problems, possibly unreported?
I have a couple of issues with 3.7, and I don't think I have read about them anywhere else.
Firstly, this may be a problem with the Comm manager. Sometimes I turn the phone to "off" in Comm. Manager, and then when I click again to turn it "On", nothing happens - the code lock keypad is supposed to show but nothing happens at all and I have to soft reset.
Secondly, after a soft reset, MSN contacts do not appear in the list when you login, and you must chage accounts to see them again
I also had the more common problems with green button and HTC home screen vibrate mode.
Also would it be possible for us to have Windows Update inlcuded in the ROM?
Excellent ROM though by the way! Will be donating very soon!!!

yeah, you are right. i just tested what you said, and indeed: the "Datenverbindung" button in comm manager (i got german version) will eventually light up when i switch to conn manager and a gprs connection is active. but it takes something between 3 and 10 seconds for that button to light up. that's why i never saw it.
but waiting for the button to light up then clicking it will indeed cancel the gprs connection. i am cool with that. thx for the hint.
Actually this started as a B&B 4.0 issues thread...
but i really would like to thank the person who open it because i had the opportunity to see all the bugs of previous versions in one place....
Thanks again...
Many thanks to Tom as well for his effort..
Looking forward for v 4.0
I believe we are on the right track, but I feel some of theres issues are problems do to the base OS..I will later update my most and include a pool to see where we stand as far as how may people are experiening these situation.

No more weather updates, and no idea why.

Hi everyone,
now here's a strange one (well, honestly every problem I encounter without understanding it, appears strange to me )
I have an HTC P3300 with the official WM6 from the HTC Site. I also installed the HTC.Kaiser.Home..with the 6 buttons.
My Problem concers the Weather Updates. At the beginning everything went fine. I connected myself at home to my wireless router, and downloaded the newest weather informations. (At the beginning I had some trouble to add cities that were not on the preinstalled list, but in the end I resolved this problem too.)
Yesterday, after more than a month where nothing went wrong, I suddenly had to re-enter my WPA-Code to access the router (no idea why). And from that moment on, I can not download any weather data. It doesn't matter if it is a city that I added or a city from the original list. On the other side, I still can download the QuickGPS data, and surf on the net. So the connection should work properly,...
Any ideas?
I already thank you in advance. I always could rely on the perfect solutions on this site.
have the same problem.
all was working before but now since one week, i can´t download weather data.
Try looking @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
I was in the same boat as you ... have just downloaded and installed the updated cab .. all is well now
Cheers
Mark
Okay, but do you know, why this suddenly appears? I mean is it only a program error, or has it something to do with the fact that it happened simultaneously with the need to re-enter the WPA-code?
I just want to know the reason, before reinstalling everything, or before following the recommandations of the above posted link,...
Do I have to presume that the fact that I can no longer download weather data and the fact that all of a sudden I had to re-enter my WPA-code, are not related? No dark connection settings ruling the special weather data download, while all the other downloads are running normaly?
And does the link posted before, with the updated HTC Homeplugin with the working weather tab, works for everyone? Not that I don't believe Mark, just wanted to check? No bad feelings Mark! ;-)
Thanks for the help.
Here I am again. I have just re-installed my Homeplugin and now the weather tab is completly empy! The first line with the city name is empty, I still can click on it to access the city list, but there will be nothing displayed in the tab. Also the big field where the weather forecast should be, is empty, even no "could not download data", nothing, just a big black empty tab. :-(
Now I presume I have to download the patched cab file at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Somebody can help me which file/files I have to download, because I do not really have a clear view on the hole thing anymore? I have P3300 wit WM6 (official HTC WM6). :-S
Thanks a lot.

Just curious, but what file did you download? I've read this link before and today I've been reading the instructions he gave in that link to a separate page, and I'm totally confused as to what the H*ll I'm supposed to do! There are so many options and files. I thought I knew a little about this stuff but, right now, I'm just take his advice to just leave you phone alone if you don't know what you're doing. I've been contempating this for over a month now.
Everything just works fine again. Thanks for all your help.
Here's the detail what I've made, perhaps it will help you shawndh, but I have also seen that N2A has now transferred everything to a new page http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/
- I uninstalled my Plugin
- I downloaded and installed the SdkCerts.cab
- I downloaded and installed the Shen-6tab-cab v2.1 with the N2A weatherpatch. On the new page, it is the second link under "Released patched versions of HTC Home" (if you too have a P3300 this is your plugin).
Hope I could help you. I know the old page was not very easy to understand, N2A helped me, thanks again. The new page seems a lot easier for newbies like me.

A question for xda gurus

Hi,
About two months ago during one of the numerous rom flashings on my SPVM3100 , I came across a strange issue. I called Orange many times and they changed my SIM card twice but finally said they don't understand this and gave it up. My SPVM3100 is over two years old - so they're not gonna replace the device.
Here's the issue:
whenever someone leaves me a voice mail, instead of receiving the normal "voice mail" notification and it's icon in Today screen, I receive a text message! These texts are unreadable (consisting of only 2 signs, like a triangle sign and an @ sign. Or an @ sign with an underline sign _).
Whenever I receive such texts , I know that I have a voice mail ! I dial the voice mail service, listen to the voice message and delete it. But each time my voice mail box becomes empty another annoying text is sent to me - perhaps cofirming that the mail box is now empty (I wish I could read this new sign language )
The phone shows that the texts are coming from the SIM Card !! (so we thought that perhaps the SIM has problems and that's why Orange changed my SIM Card twice).
This is really annoying.
The Orange tech people exhausted their knowledge for the past 2 months but couldn't solve this problem , gave it up altogether , and are now asking me to contact HTC ! (which I'm sure would be useless).
That's why I'm asking this from xda developers and gurus to see if they have any explanation for this bizarre behavior of my device.
Thanks for any insight and sorry to make a thread for this annoying issue.
have you tried flashing with a different rom? i know similar things would happen on motorola phones, and required hex editing of certain files to turn that feature off.

Fallen,
A six-month-old critically annoying problem was solved in 30 seconds
I am sure we all know xda developers and gurus are genius.
As I said in the post, almost all technical guys & gals in Orange did literally exhaust all their knowledge & experience in the past six months to solve this issue but it was obvious that they didn't absolutely have any clue what the cause of the problem was; whereas Olipro had found the cause and the remedy very quickly.
This is really serious because Orange is a huge multi-billion corporation and they claim to have their own top developers/programmers/technicians and yet they shamelessly suck !
Now on to my second question :
On almost all original (HTC and AT&T) ROMs , the HTC Home Plugin shows the network as "Orange". But on some of the cooked ROMs the network is shown as "UMTS Orange". I know the meaning of UMTS and I understand that whether the network is shown as "Orange" or "UMTS Orange" the phone appears to function the same.
I just want to know what happens in some cooked ROMs that the phone recognizes the network of the SIM card as "UMTS Orange" and not the usual "Orange" ? I talked to some Orange technicians, their replies are really rediculous - one of them kept saying: "you must change your mobile settings" ! But she didn't have a clue what she was talking about as she didn't know where those damn "mobile settings" were and how they could be changed! I can swear she had never held an SPVM3100 or a Kaiser in her hand.
I've searched the forum but haven't been able to find a clear answer yet. I am asking this question just to improve my personal knowlege on this issue.
Thank you for your guidance and insight.
hey,
I get the same problem too when installing new Cooked ROMs.
In order to get rid of the 'UMTS' in front of the Operator name you have to edit a registry entry.
Use a registry editor and navigate to: HKLM---> Software---->OEM---->Phone Setting
In there find an entry labelled 'Enable3GLongName' And change it from 1 to 0.
Restart you're device and it should just say 'Orange'
Hope that works

Thanks bro. Yesterday, before reading your reply I reflashed my device and
this nwe Binky11's V3.8 ROM got it right. So for now, I don't need to do the registery; however, I made a note of your advice for future reference.
I should keep reading to see what happens in most cooked WM6.1 ROMs that they get the network name as such and why the original ROMs get it right.
Thank you very much for your reply.

Should this model S620 have Wi Fi?

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.

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.
