HTC S630 - ROM Upgrade to Dopod or Not?

Hi Guys, I have an HTC Branded S630 with ROM 1.18.405.4. It has some minor issues like freezing, running slow sometimes and I was hoping a ROM upgrade would fix it, however, HTC does not have a support page for it...
Would it be advisable to upgrade to the Dopod 1.16.708.7 ROM? Or would this be like downgrading? Anyone know which ROM is newer/better?
Thanks.

anyone ? ?

Hi, I have the same problem running rom 1.18.707.4 and I installed the 1.16.708.7 but the situation remained the same. Therefore, I recommend to keep yours for now and look for another solution.
For your knowledge, my problem is that, besides freezing sometimes and becomming slow, after the initial sync with Outlook (+600 contacts and 2 weeks agenda only - no favorites, no e-mails, etc) the agenda does not open anymore and the e-mails are not downloaded automaticaly (I sync my IMAP server through GPRS).

I'm interested to know how you actually upgraded to the newer Dopod ROM on your HTC branded device ?
I have the same unit and I have been looking for a way to unlock this device so I can put non-HTC ROM's on but haven't found a way yet.....??

You might want to check Wiki. There's a cab "Oxios memory" which recovers lost memory.
It might help you know!
Cheers

Htc giving me hell
Ok folks i have been trying for at least a month to sort out my S630's wifi problem... it started one day when i was at a friends house trying to connect to their wifi, i was unsuccessful, so when i went in the com manager to connect it was saying that "device driver not loaded", i found that strange, because 2 hours before that i used wifi at a different location then turned off the radio. I soft rest the phone,, and the same thing happened... i then hard reset it and now the wifi option is no longer in commanager, hence no way to connect or turn on the radio... i flashed a number of roms to the phone and currently i have the dopod c730 rom (Chinese and english pack) installed on the phone,,, and still no luck... can someone please point me in the direction to get this fixed??? this phone was bought because it had the wifi and now nothing,,, it is completely functional, just without what is important to me, the wifi... Sorry if i am in the wrong trend but i am new to this and couldn't find much persons with this problem,,, please forgive..

Artemis P3300 switches off

Hi!
I have the problem, that my HTC P3300 switches off, from self, alone.
Or it crashes since i do settings in tomtom or other programs.
I had the PDA 2 times !!! at my nearest service partner. And they means that the PDA is OK.
Now i have the newest software on the pda, I tried 2 different storagecards, but the problem is not solved.
So what can i do?
When the PDA crashes or switches off alone at standby, i had to give out the battery a few seconds. ONLY after that it´s possible to switch ON the PDA.
can anyone help me?

Flash it with a new rom ?
I had similar probs a while back. Cant remember which rom i had installed. But i have flashed back to vanilla and no issues since.
The cause could be a bad flash....

Hi, thanks for answering.
Where can i download other/older ROMS for the Artemis?

Just to let you know - you are not alone. My P3300 is switching itself off all the time. I tried to re-flash with the same rom, did not help (did not try older ones). But I suspect it is really a hardware issue - because it switches of more often in a hot environment.

Hi!
Oh, that´s nice, that i am not alone ;-)
I am sad that my HTC Service Point means my HTC is OK?!?!
Yesterday i tried an other SIM Card, from an other Mobilephone Provider.
Now the HTC is running since 16 hours without self switch off.
I am inquiring how long this runs OK.
But i also think its a hardware issue.

add me to the list. same phone, same issues. HELP!

Hi!
The last days i tested my phone.
Firs with an other SIM Card, and no Storagecard,.
Then without SIM Card, only with a storagecard
Since yesterday i had an other SIM AND the storagecard on board.
As yet no crash.
Tomorrow i would put my main SIM Card AND my main Storagecard in the HTC.
We´ll see what´s going on...
Very strange...

A suggestion - let us compare the versions of the roms we have. I had this:
Artemis_Touch_4.02_Full_with_4_sided_cube.zip
(I am currently testing with original rom to see if it solves something)

i had the latest ROM from the HTC Homepage

I had the latest dutch version (original) wm6 from the t-mobile website and now the english version (wm6) from the artemis wiki page.
I've noticed that today it crashed only 2 times (before +8). lets see what happens ...

Since the last 3 days my HTC won´t switched off itself.
BUT, when i play as sample with WLAN Settings, or with the "transcribe" settings, the HTC crashed. Black Display, no chance to restart.
After, press softreset, and put out the battery the HTC starts again.
I played again with WLAN Settings an nothings happens, the HTC runs.
It´s very strange, because my HTC runs over 1 Year perfectly.
And now i have such troubles. The question is why...
I also wrote to the HTC support, on the HTC Support page in the internet, but i become NO ANSWER!!!
I think i´d like to buy a Nokia Mobile Phone.

today my phone proved me wrong. it kept crashing and crashing. tomorrow ill go over to the t-mobile store and see what they have to say...
thorx, how is it going over there?
edit/update: i reflashed once more, this time without the storage card in (dunno if it matters) and another sim card. So far (1 hour) i had no crash. ill keep posting with updates.

Hi!
My HTC does NOT crashed the last days itself.
But it crashed often when i change some settings.
As sample: changes in the WLAN Settings, changes in the transcribe setting, and so on.
It´s not really comprehensible.
No one could help... -(

i gave it to t-mobile today. 10 days to get it fixed, im in waranty so its ok

I have the same problem with my Artemis. 2 weeks ago I've put new ROM (Original HTC WM6.0) and the problem occurred so I think maybe solution is downgrade to WM5. This week I'll check it.

One (maybe unrelated question) - do you have iGO 8 installed? My phone problems started after installing it.

Duplicate post

I do not think that it´s a softwareproblem.
My HTC runs over 1 Year with WinMobile 5.
From one day to the other, i have this curious error.
Then i gave it to my servicepartner. They installed me the newest SW, with WinMobile 6.
The problem isn´t solved.
Now i give my HTC third time to my service partner. :-(
The HTC Support doesn´t respond my emails. :-((
Perhaps i only could sell my phone as damaged on ebay...

My Orbit switched its self off randomly when it was in my pocket so I didn't know it was off! It was completely random and started happening when it was around 8 months old.
My solution was to cut up a credit card and use a strip of that to wedge in between the battery and housing. Previously I noticed the battery was a little loose and this solution has worked so far 5 months down the line it hasn't switched off since...

So, now my problem is solved.
I sended my HTC 3 times to my service partner.
After the third repair attempt, i become a replacement device.
They changed the hole pda, only the HTC case is my old one.
Now my HTC runs perfectly without errors.

Backup from PC & dead Rhodium screen

OK first will start with a complain. Maybe I was unlucky but although I love my Touch Pro 2, I really feel like the Hardware is not that good... Today my screen completeled jamed up (White background with blue/pink/green dots). The phone is still working (I can receive calls, etc...) but cant see a thing
I doubt it's linked to my Windows ROM (Original one) since when I boot up I cannot even see the screen with the ROM/Radio and Booloader version. It's only when I switch the screen on and off that I get the jammed screen (Otherwise it's black). So I can try to Hard reset... but I believe it's rather the video controler that is dead
Anyway... since the phone is still working (Activesync works !) and I stupidly didnt backup my MMS and SMS... I was wondering if someone knew how to back them up from my PC (For contacts and emails they are already backuped through Outlook)
Thanks a lot in adavnce and good luck with your device... (I cnat be 100% negative, I know many freinds who had to return their ipHone... Just pissed off that it happens to me without any particular reason)

Btw anybody got the same problem with their phone and found a way to fix it ? I am just so pissed off to ahve to ship it and wait for weeks without any phone...

Try MyMobiler. I'm in a similar position, my touch screen has stopped working, I can "drive" the phone on my PC using mymobiler.
Good luck!
Gordon

Thanks gonna give it a try to PIM backup before a Hardreset

There are many free to try remote control apps for windows mobile, they work in the same manner as pc remote cotrol apps and allow you to fully control the device from your pc. Google will find them easy.
You can also backup the databases via activesync.
Have you tried a tv out cable, perhaps it's just the device's ribbon cable that is damaged............
Cheers,
Beasty

Looks great
But why the hell my PC is not laucnhing Acivesync when I connect my Touch Pro 2.............. Happened to me in the past with my Hermes and I have no idea why. I am offered to acces to the files or sync my media files but not to sync... Aaahh the worst time for this !!! Gonna google that...
I hope I dont have to enable it on the device... (It reminds me of soemthing on some custom ROMs where you ahve to allow sync through USB... (Though in tis case it's the original ROM and it still proposes to see the device files...)
**** Reinstalled the crappy Activesync (Or Mobile center for the new version) and it worked. Cant believe... the laptop is brand new. Anyway thanks a lot the Software is great and will allow me to save everything

upgrading an unlocked phone to W6.5

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

answer
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

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.

Lesson learned for next time, I hope you fix your phone though. Good luck

MyMobiler works well and costs nothing.

You can also use the (free for personal use) EveryWan Remote Support personal Edition. This is extremely powerful - has many skins and it can install the device agent silently, so no confirmation required.
Get it here: http://www.sparus-software.com/en/download/software/
I use it since I did all my experimenting with the Excalibur "blind" as the LCD is broken (bought it cheap on ebay). Until the LCD comes from HongKong this is a viable path to go.
