Can you enlist the 'strange' things?
I gave up after tuma release
Yes what do you mean by strange things, current WM5 versions are pretty stable and fast, so could you be more specific?
Where to start. Freezing, hardware buttons not working, it dieing in the middle of something even though the battery is fine, the battery meter saying that your brand new genuine 02 battery is ticking down at 3% min but then turn it off and on and it is fine, turning itself on when it is in your pocket even though all the buttons are locked the list just keeps going.
It still works well as long as you keep fixing it. I have 60+ programs on it and when I try and back it up and then when I have to hard reset it and you try and restore it the thing won't do it. Then I spend the next 4 evenings getting it back the way I like it. I even had to reset 20 times once because it wouldn't start properly. I stopped using it for 2 weeks and they were so relaxing not having to keep fixing it I then went back to it and now I am about to get a Jasjam (Tytn) because I would like to get my life back. OK I have had my whinge now.
1. WMP10 is a disaster: crashes phone, shuffles around library items, etc
2. With Power off, keys/LCD become active despite Button Lock ON.
3. sometimes refuses to charge
4. Poor memory management (OOM errors, keeps too many apps open, etc)
5. Occasional hang
and i havent even used bluetooth and Wifi yet - a whole other can of worms, i'm sure. My phone has only 5 apps installed.
solutions:
1. TCMP -- seems ok so far
2. living with it
3. soft reset
4. i think related to WMP10 -- good so far
Well I know that even my Dad's IIs which has the same ROM as mine none of the hard ware buttons work and bluetooth won't turn on and off then to top all that off it won't do a hard reset!!!
Ok you guys stated a lot of issues, you wont believe me that they do not occur in my device(exclude WMP 10 it sucks), i haven't perform hard reset from more than a month and my device works smooth. Of course i had problems with previous releases of WM5, but now it is fine, and a lot more good than 2003se.
@PPCNUT, maybe you have hardware problems with your device
Well both devices have bad problems but it could be possible. It is just it seems ironic that my 6 year old HP Jornada 720 Handheld PC still works fine and never needs a reset and even runs faster and is more reliable than the IIS!! I have had a lot of PPCs and other mobile devices and I find the IIs the worst and it needs the most work just to keep it working. All this is just my observations and I am sure lots of Blueangels run WM5 fine.
First, props to everyone on this project. I upgraded my T-Mo MDA to WM6 yesterday, and what a fun day it was. Thanks to all for the WM6 preview!
Unfortunately, since this is my main phone, and I use it for work, reality forced me to downgrade back to a "stock" WM5 ROM.
I had everything sorted out in WM6- syncing, bluetooth headset, all my software installed, etc. but every time I set the thing down, it would turn itself back on within 5 minutes.
Just for "data collection," if it helps, I used the Orwell ROM, and had SPB Pocket PC Plus, and Voice Command 1.6 installed (since the "built-in" one didn't do BT.)
All the other little weirdness I could I live with (the "turn on wi-fi" never saying "Turn off," no camera flash, etc.) but I can't have the thing turning itself on randomly all day!
Thanks again for the glimpse of the future!
After switching from the stock wm6 (rwell) to the pdaviet3 rom i did notice a lot of bugs gone.
to your stated bugs:
Cam light works
Phone is not waking up by itself
battery doesnt seem to drain as much as with the 3.3 roms
faster even without overclocking than 3.3
if there is anything u would like me to test let me know
cheers
on mine i set battrystatus to lock the phone after i would put it on standby so when i would hit the button it would turn the screen back on. but after it gets locked it would stay off. So i figured if you lock your device the screen will stay off.
im on pv3 and the powerups still occur, i have a feeling its Batterystatus doing it, because my brother also has pv3 in it, but no powerups...

I just recently re-installed PV3 from the 3.3 rom because of battery drain issues and since re-installing I havent noticed anymore powerups. I have the 1.4 beta ext. baterystatus installed.

Do you use push email?
im sad to inform you guys........that i think it is the batterystatus that is causing the power ups. after reading this thread last night i removed batterystatus and i noticed that my phone did not power on after i would put it on stand by. and it really saddened me because i like this program alot. do you guys think there might be a solution out there. what other program can i use to over clock?

There is a solution, faria seems to know it but he's not sharing
Shame...
Nope, battery status doesn't seem to be it. I removed it, restarted but it still turns on.
This majorly blows!
Did a hard reset... Now no start-ups, push-email enabled (so it is not the cause).
i have the same problem with pdviet3, i did a hard reset... no powerups until i setup exchange server, its got to be something with push-email, i downgraded to wm5 until theres a fix.
OS itself
Hi guys!
I have such a bug for about 6 months. The same sh** I’m eating just from wm5 AKU3.2, & wm6 didn’t change anything.
I tried it in different ways: several releases of wm5 AKU3.2 and wm6, with and without ExtRom cabs installed, with or without any additional progs, also several versions of radio. Nothing helped!
Some good news: I found out the cause, when it DOES wakeups and when – not.
It very simple to check: just REMOWE password to LOCK your device – it will NOT wake up any more!
Reassign password – and soon it will be awake!
So I had choice: 1. – NOT to assign password for PDA locking, or (as I do so for about 3 months) 2. – to set BatteryStatus option “DeviceLock on Wakeup” on – just like someone wrote above – and switch off device twice.
So, it OS itself brings us this bug!
Is there a doctor in the house?
i stand corrected. i am with you rusigor. i took the password off of my 8125 and to my surprise no more screen power ons. i have battery status set to 299 and ive noticed also that my battery is lasting longer with my password. off. i dont know if its just me. but i've noticed it. so i guess no password for me :-|
HOLLY ****!!! All the hair I've been pulling out!!! I wouldn't never suspected that device lock was causing this. I've started to blame batterystatus.
THANKS! THANKS!
wakeup issue
i had the wakeup issue on the pdaviet3.. i took lock off and it worked... i have the wifi bug..
when wifi is connected i press the icon on taskbar and it dont say turn wifi off.... any ideas?

u rock
btw is the OBEX folder in the registry important
im loving my mda with pdaviet 3, apart from some bugs its fine, anyone foundout how to use the remote desktop coz mines seems not to work... and crashes the device sometimes, anyone know any ideas ???? let me know.
there's a radio v2.61.21 for prophet, is there any 1 for wizard?
i am always ready to test a new radio for the wizard(as long as it doesnt screw anything up ofcourse)
i installed the prophet rom and i think my mda is done
Done as in working
or done as in "My, what a nice shinny brick you have there"
Jules
I would guess the "nice shiny brick" part, but maybe we'll get lucky...not a big fan of my 2.47 radio ROM...
I like to hear more about this new rom, but indeed, i guess he means that he dorked his device.....

It works, but the battery-status doesn't work anymore. It doesn't brick your device, bull....t.
lol hmm interesting, extract the radio for us!

Just go to ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-roms/Radio_ROMs
What I don't understand is why always people come up to this forum claiming the "bricked" their device. I don't know how many times I flashed mine, it's still working.
Also I must say my Wizard is the best, because no matter how hard I try it never acts in the way people write here sometimes, why's that....
WM6 installed with 47.11
* no switching of and/or on
* MMS works
* Camera Works
* No battery drain, it's even better now.
* Wifi works
* No carshes in the last weeks....
* GPRS working
* Phone's not constantly "searching"
* etc.
I'm going to look for a uncontrolled and/or beta release AKU 3.8 and a half HTC Blue angel ROM to flash on my Wizard, maybe that will do the trick.
"edit" there's is one thing though: No matter how often I flash my Wizard, I still have the Molski splash, how to remove this ?
anybody ?

Heeeeeeeeeeelp I used this file, but was unsure so I stopped at 50% now I'm stuck with this coloured screen, did I brick my device.............
Kiddin, thanks Vippie, I know I could have looked for it, but while writing the post I came up with one thing which was bothering me.
It worked, it's gone...
Just flashed this on a CID unlocked G4 wizard with Orwell's Crossbow on. So far so good, full signal strength where I normally get it. Bundled utility works fine with the upgrade. About to test the power up thing by disabling batterystatus.

You have to commit to the flash! If you start it, let it finish or don't start at all!
Take out your battery, put back in your battery, turn on your device, connect to your pc and reflash the SAME radio rom!!
This will atleast get you out of the bootloader cycle.

I think he was just joking...
installed the radio. works but no battery indicator anymore. battery status won't overclock either.
The strange thing that i encounter with this rom is also no battery indicator and no battery status, but most important, when i call to a voiceresponse system and i have to make a choice in a menu, let's say the voice says choose 1 to bla bla bla, then i press one but nothing happens. So i went back to radio 2.47.11 but the problem remains. How could this be? Could this have something to to with sending dtmf signals? Anyone knows how to make this work again?
Also with that new radio the battery isn't charged anymore.....
Downgrade to radio 2.19
the reason i thought my device was done because I was unable to charge the phone, I was unable to communicate the phone to active sync. But anyway worked things through and out and went back to 2.47. At least i took the plunge and installed it.
Anyone got from MyQtek new 2.61 radio ?
do the prophet radio roms work on the wizard?
Hi,
I have update my blueangel from W2003 to WM6.
The first day, i have a phone probleme (R and G : NONE and an error in the phone : No service). After a soft reset, the problem disappeared.
But now, i always have the R and G at none and i have 'No service' in the phone function. the soft reset didn't change the config . So I cant' use my phone on the blueangel
My OS is 5.60 (5.2.1620 from Helmi) and the radio is 1.15.
Thanks for you help

xda iis upgrade to wm 6.1 explode
after upgrading to wm6.1 explode my xda iis has problem with the video cam...can't play after taking the video in the preview...help me....and the wlan is bad
it´s a problem with the camera app.
it crashed when you record movies in a special format. (i think it was .mpeg)
OK, having the same issue from time to time, and had it on other devices too...
Anyone any idea why it behaves like that?
I think (but not sure) it only happens when not using the 'normal' rom/boot loader... As far as I know (but that only stayed for an hour or so, just checking the basic functions) it didn't happen on the original rom...
Alright guys got my Diamond this morning - just flashed TLR 2 Olinex Hard SPL Signed - The screen on my device has a slight fuzziness to it sometimes almost like its radio interference its very subtle but not right nevertheless sometimes it seems to get worse. Anyone else experienced this - pls don't tell me I have a dodgy one !!!
Hi. I had the same experience last week just after flashing with hard SPL v 0.40. I found a solution : after flashing the rom, I downgrade the phone with a stock SPL. Work fine for me. Try it.
Thanks for the reply - phewwww
Where would I get the stock SPL - never actually flashed back to stock before...
Many many thanks

Have a look to this post (#39) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950&page=4
Yes, you should read this post (#39) !
I'm sure that you have the same issu like I had.
Some (few) people report this issue in this thread (mine) and in french forums : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2391402#post2391402
i had the same issue with my diamond as i flashed Hard SPL 1.24 prior to upgrading the radio..
i didn't think it'd be ROM related, and thought perhaps it's just plain bad luck!
flashed back the stock HTC rom (didn't change SPL though) and took it back to the vendor who swapped it with a new phone..
Guys,
i had many time this issue. Tryed with new SPL/ROM/Hard-Reset
sometimes works somethimes not...
What seems to help, or my impression:
Battery out for more than 10 sec, and plug/unplug charger. Tryed this
randomly, in most of case it work, no idea how.
Hi, I experience the same, but have a solution that works for me - dont have anything plugged into the phone (not even the plain cable) then suspend the phone(short click the power button) and start it again. Voila! At least for me it does the trick.

1. Softreset device, without cables in.
2. Somethimes is still flickering while booting
3. After boot, suspend Device. Turn on again.
Voila, flickerless screen!
Worked 4me
Thx Laser 4 confirmation
The suspend trick solve for me too....
Using Unsigned HSPL
I noticed this too after flashing a new rom. But it just happend after a soft reset and the suspend trck does the work ...
