Although the User Interface is not as good as B&B, But I like to keep it simple.
After hard reset:
Storage Total: 54.09 MB, In use: 6.33MB, Free: 47.76 MB
Program Total: 47.90MB, In use: 23.18 MB, Free: 24.72 MB
Pro:
Faster than WM5, programme switch speed, opening Windows folder is much more quicker than WM5. Battery looks last longer than WM5 (or might have a problem with the battery indication software, consumed 6% on standby over 7 hours.)
Con:
1, still has the Wireless connection problem that will not be able to disconnect WIFI throught Today's screen.
2, very irritating that MSN messenger has to download my MSN email contacts to the phone's contacts.
3, X-Button not available, the HTC X-Button 1.5 not working properly with this ROM, causing system crash.
4, First charge stucked at 88% and orange light, soft reset, back to 100% and green light.
Still testing.......
Edit: Pro: I like the new phone "contact" system. a new number can be added to my existing contact more easily. Also, the contact's total call time and number of calls is very impressive!
Edit: Neutral: MSN issue, updated on page 4.
Edit: Pro: you can add an unknow missed number to your existing contact.
Hmm - my experience on installing the new O2 UK WM6 ROM:
Con:
1) Noticeably slower than WM5 to do almost anything
2) Wasted a whole evening reinstalling and reconfiguring all my applications
3) No useful new functionality
Pro:
Nothing yet.
I installed it yesterday evening, after installing it, it seemed a bit slow. Now i got it all set up it is pretty fast and works allright. Only software I installed extra was spb diary.
Only thing i find annoying is that you can't disable wifi from the icon on the today screen. But there is a shortcut to the com manager on the o2 plug in so it makes up for it.
o2 rom has got some nice tools on the today screen like the profiles, meters, you can see the last call on the today screen also there is a today plug-in that shows the applications that are running, you can also end them from there. So its same as x-button. You can find it under the custom 02 today plug-in setting.
But still waiting to try out B&B4.0 with the touch flow.

any workaround for this ?
Can you tell me does your smart dialling work ? i ask because i have flashed this rom twice now and when i get the dialpad up there are no contacts in the top half, so i can't scroll through my contacts ! And all the smart dialling options are enabled by default.
Thanks....
anothe rthought of O2 WM6
Well, I before I went to bed aroudn midnight (UK time) I thought I check the O2 site and bingo the link is back there. 5 minutes download and 10 minutes later WM6 running on my XDA ORbit.
1- much much snappier. Opening folder, program, setting, contact, emails, explorer etc... has a whole lot new feel to it.
2- GPS works faultless with tomtom.
3- got rid of O2 phone skin and restored the OEM phone skin. Prettier and snappier.
4- I dont want the the x button to close application. I do keep few running such as email, explorer, contacts, and calendar. O2 provides a simple application to view/close running applications. I also, use Explorer 2007 which has the same functionality.
5- cannot close wifi from today screen. Minor inconvenience.
6- Office applications updated.
7- Explorer still works (LOL) and believe I tried Opera and other and I always go back to Explorer. It renders the screen better. Sure no tabs but I dont use them on my mobile, on my desktop yes.
8- Emailer you can now see html - a great boost for me as I need it (you can still block images if you wish) and very useful. Previosuly I use Qmail which I think is the best but lets give the emailer a chance.
9- I heavily use msn and voip and they work faultless (even when conncted to Activesync) I can still sue my wifi for voip.
10- battery comsumption seems to be the same. Battery Was 95% when went to bed (tested email,explorer, windows live etc...), 9:30 am it is still 88%.
11- I like the encryption facilities and finally I can encrypt my files on the storage card natively. Previously I used Cryptainer LE (free).
12- Internet sharing works (just make sure your connection is secure).
13- wireless security are all there as before (wpa-wpa2-wpa2-psk etc..).
thats it really. No major new things, just improvements and the OS definitely faster and less memory hungry.
Still testing it of course ...
Where's the terminal services client? Have they removed it? I've seen a seperate install for it somewehere.
Also, I assume I don't need the storage card fix from HTC for this?
Don't have anything new to add that hasn't been said already.........except that i don't like it. Been using B&B3.7 until last night. O2 WM6 seems like a step backwards from this ROM, not sure why.
terminal services
Terminal services gone and rightly so. What is the use of it on a phone without a keyboard and 320x240 screen (YMMV) ? Now, if I am using the king of phones (XDA Exec )with the best keyboard then I will miss it.
Well I have 2 GB sotrage and I am keeping an eye on it. Lets hope we dont need the fix ;-) (Of course I have backed up everyhting three times just in case.

The WM6 build from O2 contains the Sd card fix so no need to add this to the build. The issue with not being able to turn wifi off from today screen is in all WM6 builds not just Orbit.

Ok im pleased with this new 02 rom now, but i will have to try the new B&B 4.0 when i comes out. can't wait for that.
I have noticed one very small odd thing though, when you go to select a new text message alert, there are 2 x dogbark, 2 x ding and 2 x alouette ?
otherwise fine....

Yes I am afraid it is not possible to disablethe wifi from the today screen, you will have to use the comm manager.
What problems u have with bluetooth?

I never setup the GPRS, when it asks on first hardset screen, I always unticked the option. Though, I think you can turn it off by:
O2 Operator Settings--> tick the "i want to do auto configuration now", and scroll the underneath menu down, choose "remove all settings".--> click the top right "OK", done.
and to think that no one has mentioned abotu the new looking solitaire? are your priorities not right??? (just kidding )
Phone working great on WM6 for me - some real response improvments in places. TomTom working good from SD card too - new reinstall required there. Hell - I even like the 02 additional software for a change (like I did with WM5 on the orbit - unlike their today screen stuff on XDA2i....)
So that's at least 1 happy customer...
(and in fairness - their billing dept has been very helpful to me since a billing error - I really can't fault them there)

i am a newbie of Vodafone (PH20B2),
Device Version is
Rom Version : 1.31.00 WWE
Rom Date 12/13/04
Radio Version : 1337.42
Extrom Version : 1.31.175 WWE
with Windows mobile 2003 Second Edition
the problem is that sometime i could not receive the call , the message occurs "unable to answer the call".
When i try to tab phone icon the message " The phone is not ready wait 15 seconds and try again" occurs .
anybody could help me what to do.
I am getting the same problem why is this?
I have a o2 xda IIs, i have installed WM6 Pro CE OS 5.2.1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0) Updated [30.11.2007]
i face the same problem, furthermore i realize when the battery is near 30% da phone becomes buggy in the sense dat messages stop getting sent and after soft resets da trouble is the network stops getting detected only after 5 minutes i see network signals,as soon as i hookup the phone with power the sms problem is immediately solved!
It may be helpful to note i have not installed any third party software and the phone has been hard reset only a few days ago!
Does the parite virus affect the phone? i installed parite infected .exe software through AS 4.5 and as a precaution hard resetted the phone following that!!
furthermore tapping answer doesnt work and the call automatically gets disconnected!!!
Try Upadating your ROM to Xplode's one. And yes one important thing , always keep your bluetooth on ( you may uncheck the beam option). This may solve your problem.

NO dont do that. it will drain your battery faster if bluetooth is on.
make sure it is OFF and also check the infrared (Beam).
You're battery might be failing to power up the phone module.
Try a new battery.
I've experienced some used battery.
Below 30% is very critical for ALL PocketPC operations, this is the point where some glitch tends to pop-up because the battery cant support
the power requirement of the hardware in which the software was using
(Ex. Phone, Camera, LCD, Speaker, Mic, Digitizer) thus, it fails bigtime or sometimes crashes.
Except if your battery is newer where the 30% which steadily and accurately give power to our BA.
And make sure you terminate all your programs if you've finished using it, if it is running it might affect the power consumption because it is still present in the memory.
anyone can sync without using original cradle or bluetooth? i m having problems with non-ori cables..on usb port.. help pls!!!

The phone is not ready. Wait 15 secondsd and try again. !!!
And can't open Options for the phone and not able to send SMS.

Trying reflashing and also with another PV WM6 2000 and trying to send SMS immidiately after reflashing but no luck! Though it worked in the first days of switching to WM6.
Could it be the Radio 1.12 version problem?
Thanks for helping!
Ok see if you SIM is perfectly making contact. I had the same problem. I did put some bit of paper on the over the SIM . So that after closing the back cover it fitted snuglly to its slot.

Which upgrading method of the 2 that are described in the XDA Wiki?
Last time I tried both it seems it didn't work for me.
One says that is just Radio updating and the other the whole WM operating system?
Kind Regards
www.myspace.cn/taijiyoga
Just try the radio updating only. The one in the wiki is good.
or copy the radio.nbf to where nk.nbf is. then flash both only if you want.
if you just want the radio. delete the nk.nbf.
then launch MAUpgradeUT_NoID.exe
I had a very same problem.
The problem was solved by buying a new battery.
At least for me, the only problem was the battery. Now everything is going fine...
Yup. Mostly, but not all, problems are battery related. our BA's really a powermonger when it comes to eating battery mAh
so the most common advice for a hardware failure or such is a change of battery.
note: even our desktop PC's malfunction if it is running undervolt.
I just purchased this phone and after extensive searching was unable to find any information regarding modifying the ROM.
This Quad Band Phone has the following features;
2.8" touchscreen
TI OMAP 1030 (ARM926T)
128 Rom 64 RAM
WM6.0
GPS
WiFi
Bluetooth 2.0
GPRS Edge
2Mp Camera
Microsim slot that supports up to 4GB T flash Card
I was wondering if there were some generic modding tools / instructions to extract and modify the ROM.
I primarily want to do this because the WM6.0 OS does not seem to be complete. e.g. the HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting key is not there and when added with the key ShowTimeZonePage there is no change. (this was done manually and with the HTC Registry wizard
I would also like to trim down unneeded programs to maximize the storage space and perhaps add the TF2D to the ROM.
TF2D installed perfectly on this device however takes the majority of my RAM limiting what I can install in there.
I read somewhere that this was an HTC Diamond Clone. While I do see the simular design I doubt the hardware is the same. Even still I have to ask. would the HTC software and ROM's work with this Phone?
One last question. Would it be possible to upgrade the OS to WM 6.1 using an existing ROM Image? I doubt it but had to ask. I am sure that I will have to dump the ROM from the phone and use that image to edit.
Please let me know your thoughts. Good or bad.
I hope to be able to modify this phone and if not that is ok because it is still a good phone as is. I was just hoping to get more out of it.
i have the same phone
hey, i have the same phone ... did you found anything about modding it ?
I was able to dump the ROM however since part of it is SRPK encoded I was unable to do anything with it.
I Have a more detailed thread on what I was able to accomplish going here

Just reading through the forum here. ggeisler, any luck with that WM6.1 ROM?
HTY/Hantel Q5 - TouchFlo 3d (manilla)
Does anyone know if the new TouchFlo 3D Manilla (as seeon on the HTC Touch Diamond) works on tihs phone? and if so, any particular place I can I can find it to install it on the Hantel Q5 WM6?
Can someone tell me more about this device and it's InfraRed port
I want to know is this the CIR infrared port, so that u can use the device also as a remote controller for your television at about 2 meters distance?
Can someone please try this, I want to know this fact before buying one...
Can you recommend this phone for buying?
Thnx

Your best bet is to pose the question to the vendor on this one. Atleast you'll know for sure, otherwise be refunded if any information on the device that is inaccurate after purchase. Hail to eBay and PayPal protection! Seriously though, if the decision to buy this phone is based on a condition of using it for a remote control for your TV, you're best off not buying this device. Anyhow, I`m still waiting for my order of this device to arrive. I`ll test and let you know, but from the specs I read, it didn`t note a CIR infrared port. Anyone?
There is no infrared on this phone that I am aware of. Perhaps other model variants have one.
I have not had a chance to play with the ROM yet but as soon as I have a chance I will try to load it and post back here with the results.

yes it works but I have only been able to get UPDATE 19 to work and it was verry slow. (ultimately had to remove it) you can install everything into memory fine but you will have very little space left on the device. If you install anything on the SD Card it will be to slow to use.

NO IR at all
I have the device in my hand, nothing on it looks like it has an ir emitter.
I am sure tomtop is confusing this Q5 with another phone
this one has;
GPS
Bluetooth
Quadband (some models have triband so be careful you may need 850Mhz in some locations)
Edge
2MP Camera
WiFi
WM6 (hopefully upgradable to 6.1 still trying)
TF Card slot capable of up to 4GB (tried 8GB and only read 4)
But still no ir port.
Windows mobile has settings for ir but the hardware just is not there.
so one more time, I can confirm that there is no ir on this phone!
Tha last phone I had with ir sucked using as a remote. I ended up replacing the ir emmiter because the one that was in it was just to weak. the new emmiter worked better however the wavelengths transmitted via ir are not used by all remote controls.
If you want a remote go buy a remote. Using you phone is not the best option.
hey, mine has a 8gb microsd ... and it reads it all

Ahh, Sorry to hear about the perfomance, was really looking forward to getting the interface on this device with smooth operation. One thing to note though, and this is something that I inquired about with the Windows ROM versions, is that my device came installed with Windows Mobile 6.1. I wonder if that would make a difference at all. Anyway, No big deal really. Right now my challenge is to get the GPS working. Keep getting the "No Valid GPS signal" etc.. and I've tried it everywhere.. suggestions? (sigh) Anyway, Thanks for providing me the link for U19, I'll give it a go and see what happens.
This message simply means that is has not locked onto a GPS Satellite signal yet. My phone has taken as long as 10 min to lock on (when indoors). It is significantly faster when outdoors.
FYI
COM: 5
Baud: 4800
(If using TomTom choose "Other NMEA GPS reciever")
If your phone came with WM6.1 would it be possible for you to dump an image of it for all of us with 6.0?
I have been trying to get the Image provided by matagatoz with no success.
I believe that na external program was used to first update the bootloader before updating the ROM. since I nether have this program or the updated bootloader all my attempts to upload this image have failed.
I have even attempted a SD card install but have not found an appropriate combination of file name of image, or key press combo for updating
I found that holding down Power and the End Call button resets device to factory defaults. Holding the end call and pressing the reset does the same thing. I have not found any other key press combination's that do anything else.
Update
Did you try to reboot it using Power + circle button, or turning it on with that combination... is supposed to load teh image file into rom from SD card with that

I have tried your key combo (reset while pressing circle) and the device shuts off and is unresponsive (nothing on screen) until it is reset again (will not power back on)

Hello there,
What I Have: Att 8525 Herm100
Rom: Att's Mobile 6
Everything is stock but the extended life battery
The problem I am having is when ever I try to activate my WiFi the phone doesn't do anything. I am not sure if there is a wifi card or not but that's want I want to know. I have tried everything from activating it in com manager to going into the settings and activating it manually and nothing happens it acts like I didn't even hit the button to activate it. Is there a wifi card in the phone or is it integrated on the motherboard in the phone. Note: I bought this phone off e-bay and the wifi never worked when I received the phone.
I am new here and if there is a post about this already I am sorry.
I hate it when that happens.
To begin, there were two ATT OEM WM6 roms relevant to the 8525 that I noticed deep in the bowels of XGA.
I chose the later file (higher revision numbers) I found it here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
From comm manager when I click the tower button on within a second the spinning windoze icon shows something is happening. It then starts "sniffing" for my preset wifi connection (ATT supplied 2wire portal 802.11g).
Now, if yours does not show the spinning windoze working icon when you turn on wifi? There obviously is a problem. This could be software, or hardware related (duh). If there is no error message related to "wifi is not an option, unavailable, or screwed" then my first guess is there is something missing or damaged in the ROM update that was applied to your device. As far as I know all 8525 (herm100) were shipped with wm5. It had been mentioned in the volumes of xda that the first AT&T WM6 rom was a little buggy. Try the later released AT&T WM6 update.
It was a run file so no muss no fuss. Sync the phone run the update from the pc, three minutes later the phone is flashed to ATT WM6 professional.
You could take it to a ATT shop? But, I think that without a doubt they would hand it back and say you need a new phone with a 20 year contract and 3g data plan even Obama would blush at.
Try the hard reset. take a picture of the startup screens so you have the numbers and see if the wifi startup is working after the reset. If not then compare the numbers to the above mentioned roms. If the indications are you have the first issue of WM6 from ATT try flashing the second release. If that still fails then your device could indeed have a hardware problem.
The wifi is indeed built into the system and if that chip on the board is not working it could be a overly expensive problem. Possibly a shop has a working board they would swap out cheap? Otherwise, it is a fun phone you can keep notes on, run gps software if you have a bluetooth gps receiver and software like tomtom.
To be honest the wifi on my 8525 has been convenient when around the house to check the local weather radar when I hear a thunder outside, or browse headlines from the porcelain room or even leave messenger turned on incase a gamer friend is looking for someone to get shot up in a game.
I have used the live search voice thing to amaze the neighbors once. But, the limited range of wifi is a real drawback to how truly wonderful that addition could be.
HELP Please! Wi-Fi not working!!!

there was flashed a WM5.0, I've just downloaded from here HARD SPL & WM6,1 (Custom) Flashed.
Wi-Fi will works on WM5.0.
Well here I am at 6.1 flashed and now is not working Wi-Fi. When i pressed Power ON - loading long and nothing happens.
Other methods are also tried on Commanager and Settings - but did not help.
What do I need to do my dear.
HELP!
Thank you for your attention!
Hi Nurk.
Since the wifi worked on wm5 but failed after the 6.1 flash. I would guess the problem is in the 6.1 components. You might start with contacting the kitchen rom you employed for WM6.1 thread and see if this has happened to others. Next step would be to check the radio rom version. I did see on xda an assortment of Radio roms.
If your not totally in love with the current rom you have flashed? Try another 6.1 or even a 6.5 and see whats poppin.
and what you have in HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\DeviceName?

Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before but i HAVE searched for this in the forum but couldn't find anyone with the same question..
i have an unlocked orange HTC Touch Pro 2. There is an official Orange W6.5 ROM upgrade from HTC's website and it is the one that is supported with my serial number..
my question is, will i "lose" the unlocking (and therefore the device will be locked to orange sims again) if i upgrade my rom? or will that not be affected?
thanks

ok so since noone answered and i had downloaded the update and couldnt wait any longer to try it out, i went ahead and did the update..
for anyone who has the same question as i had, i now have wm6.5 all went well, 10min update, no problems at all. sim is also still unlocked and all works well

too late now no slowness at all.. very responsive. i actually had the mobile for just 1 day before this update so i might not be able to tell any difference in speed but it seems to have remained exactly the same in my opinion.. in the 'today items' settings, it says 'HTC Sense' but it seems like a colorfull TouchFlo3D to me XD weather gets your location and shows you the weather on the home screen under the clock. 'start' menu and other menus like settings are now in honeycomb style..
still getting used to it and discovering new stuff but so far so good
Similar issue
Hi
Similar situation but dumb question....
unlocked/unbranded TP2 on 02...i have downloaded the proper 6.5 update from HTC..months ago but wary of installing it.
I have made numerous tweaks (all frome here...thank u very much) and lots of of programs / apps etc...do i lose all of that with the upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5 ?
Tried to search on here...and elsewhere....sorry in advance.

as far as i know you will lose any installed apps, any files, messages, contacts etc that are stored on the phone.. so back-up all you need on the flash card before you do it.. software will probably need to be re-installed afterwards though..
Yes you will lose everything that is stored on main memory
Thanks for that...i guessed as much.
Leadign on from that...I can no longer conect via usb cable....hasnt beening working for about a week....wont activesync either.
Been using the charger that came with the phone...and it started to play up..ie had to fiddle with cable to get the charging light to stay on.
also have two desktop cradles for the TP2 and they work fine charging but no usb...any setting on the phone / tweak that can be done...any reset that may help....have obvuiously switched off and on and even left battery out for 10 mins...help !!!
