Greetings xda-developers,
I hope you can help me make my SPV work as intended.
Apologies if these questions have been answered elsewhere. If so, please ignore my rant and direct me to the necessary links/sloutions.
My SPV exhibits a number of problems you are all probably already aware of.
I've spent countless (free) minutes to Orange's support line and complained to them in writing but they refuse to support me by email. They insist I continue to call 150 where an operative reads the instructions for a DIFFERENT HANDSET :-( Pointed questioning usually results in the operative admitting they've never seen the SPV M2000 and have no idea what I'm talking about. Meanwhile I pay Orange for the rest of my calls which SHOULD'VE BE FREE ANYWAY! OK rant over...
Firstly I should give you my details. GetDeviceData returns
PH20B 0 B WWE E ORANG001 1.40.00 0 0 1.40.179 1.06.02 06.02
My problems are:
1. Unidirectional voice problem after using bluetooth. I've applied the documented fix at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FAQ_Unidirectional
without success. Did I do something wrong?
2. WIFI - after disconnecting from any wifi network (encrypted or open) the handset needs a soft reset before it will connect to any wifi network again.
3. Screen "skew" - touch sensitive screen needs realigned several times per day. This is particularly annoying when you can't even enter the PIN to get into the sodding thing!
4. Messaging - tapping on messaging highlights it but never does anything. What has happened to all my texts, emails and MMSes?? Is Angelina Jolie texting me for a raunchy evening of passion? I'll never know cos messaging disnae work.
5. Windows Media Player. I upgraded to the latest mobile version and now it doesn't play ANY media files. WMV, MP3 - not recognised! Factory reset - and it works again, but all my data, mods and personalisations have gone! Boo hoo.
6. Voicemail - the voicemail icon I used to get has completely disappeared. Even if there's a voicemail waiting I don't have an icon there to tell me. Result - more free minutes spent "just checking" to see if I have messages. Is this a conspiracy?
7. Camera. My camera never worked - until downloading and installing Camera2K5_v1 from your site. Not that I use it, but it would be nice, when Angelina comes over.
Thanks for reading this far. I appreciate your patience. I'm sick fed up factory resetting this device and having to start from scratch.
Q. Should I upgrade to the latest ROM? 1.42? Radio ver? How do I do this? Will a German T-mobile version work on my UK Orange SPV? Or will I have to learn German?
Q. I can't find my bluetooth version. How do I do this? Would upgrading to the latest one solve my unidirectional voice/BT problem?
Q. Should I unlock the handset and just buy a pay-as-you-go SIM? From Vodafone perhaps (better coverage in Scotland) If so, how?
Q. Should I can this device and buy a proper phone and an iPAQ instead? Two devices into one pocket doesn't go.
The SPV seems like a really smart piece of kit (if a little clunky) but it just doesn't do what it says on the tin. Not from Orange anyway.
Any help or advice you can offer will be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
By the Sounds of it you have a Faulty phone,
Upgrading wont help in my opinion.
hey guttercat,
i flashed to O2 IIs UK version. it work fine expect for the camera. no align problem, window media reads supported format. im not sure about u, but it at least solve some of my problem.
Hello again, I have this big problem with my Kaiser :
since I installed the last HTC 6.1 ROM update, my device randomly freezes for 10-20 seconds.
I also noticed that my devices sometimes slow down ...
Does anyone else have this problem ?
The solution : Downgrade to WM6 !
I think I've found where the problem is :
since I stopped using "Quick Menu", the Kaiser does not freeze anymore ...
That means this is another usefull application I will have to stop using with the HTC 6.1 ROM !!!
Sorry but I don't know what is Quick menu...

If you don't know it, that means you didn't install it on your Kaiser. So your freeze problems were not coming from this application. Sorry ...
The biggest bug i've been with wm6.1 : my kaiser soft reset alone all the time ! Maybe they're drunk when they're built this rom lol ! They should have write : THE MAGIC FUNNY WM6.1 RELEASE WITH GHOST TOUCH !
I disabled Weather tab and contacts tab with HTC home customizer. It seems to work well now. I will see if problem has really gone. Thank you for your help Dizzy. You gave a direction to my searchs
You're welcome ... But I use HTC home mainly for its contact and weather application ... So it's not a solution for me.
I noticed that orange france users had problems. Perhaps it is linked with our SIM CARD...
do you really need to post two threads on this?
I thought about using HTC's rom, but instead, i used dutty's lite rom, and built it up myself with what i wanted. Its a hell of a,lot faster, i wouldnt touch another oem htc rom ever again, they are full of rubbish, and slow as my old wizard
Finally I discovered that the problem didn't come from "Quick Menu", but from "HTC home" !!!!!
HTC home does slown down my Kaiser and is responsible for randoms freezes of it !
If I disable "HTC home" on the today setup screen, then everything is faster (start menu display ...).
I re-installed Quick-menu and now my Kaiser is working fine.
I will have to replace HTC home by a clone application ...
I haven't had any issues with my Kaiser freezing with the 3.28.405.0 WWE ROM, but then I haven't used ROM that was oficially released by HTC. Instead I've been using the one that was leaked out a couple of days before the official release.
Is it possible that the official ROM image is corrupted in some way? I've noticed this post over in the Kaiser ROM Development forum, which was posted today:

Called HTC today.
I'm not the only one having trouble with 6.1. They said in the next two days there will be a "new" version available.
The file we could download now is corrupt and they will upload a non corrupt version. Supposedly the file was corrupt by uploading to ftp server
I think they will release a patched version.

I've installed the official (English) rom I got from someone in the UK (there is none for TYTN II from Hong Kong being used in the USA as of yet ) and loved the idea that all I had to do is just install ( No hard SPL ) and everything seems fine. I have a lot of apps. installed and everything is fine.
I upgraded to the leaked ROM and have had nothing but Freezing problems !!
I turned off HTC home and this seemed to do the job...for about 12 hours and then wouldnt you know it, its slow again.
I did a hard reset and turned everything off, used Kaiser tweaks to change the cache options and its still not right.
I feel badly let down by this product. I upgraded from a blackberry 8800 which ran like a dream, no problems. I've always been alittle sceptical about Windows Mobile Products. I've owned many PDAs in the past and have always felt that they were always compromised. My Dell Axim X51v was a good PDA but too bulky to carry around. I've always been someone who wasnt bothered by Windows Mobile Devices because of their windows hang ups. Seems I was proved right, though I know this isnt necessarily a Windows thing, more likely a HTC thing....it still doesnt help !
I needed a product that offered, office apps, with internet and the ability to FTP easily at high speeds either over WiFi or 3g. The Vario III had the lot including imense flexability which made me give up my Blackberry (which was a big thing, trust me as I adored my blackberry,,,it was just alittle limited).
After having purchased HTC's almost flagship model I've feel totally let down, they knowingly shipped a product that was flawed and then released a dodgy fix that affectively made the device worse (for some of us!). Freezing all the time. When it wasnt freezing it was a pleasure to use...but seriously, i'm 5 weeks into using it and I'm absolutely pee'd off. I seem to be constantly looking for fixes all the time !! my wife thinks I've become bloody addicted to it, she wont listen when i tell her I'm trying to fix it. it always seems to be in my hand !! (the kaiser that is )
That blackberry of mine is going to be taken out of the box and this paper weight will be used as just that.
gutted man
Ste
You need to remove the HardSPL application from your Kaiser in order to stop the freezes ... Take a look at this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394783
It works ... Guaranteed !
Yes, the HardSPL is your problem, not HTC.
I tried the official htc e-club 6.1 and had lots of freezing issues. It would just freez for 20 seconds or so then start working again. Drove me crazy. I off-loaded it and re-loaded dutty's 6.1 hybrid and am very happy with it. Very stable, no more freezes either. I also reloaded mobile shell and found it to work much better than with the old 6.0. The memory issues, leaks etc. I had with shell on 6.0 seem to have become almost non-existant with this rom. And did I say batt life is heaven . I'm stickin' with what works for now.
I have the problem that Activesync is automatically turned on when I start the phone and it makes alot of problems but when I turn it off it usually solves it - anyone know how to fix this?

I have the e-club 6.1 and am experiencing the same freezes. Really annoying. I think there is a pattern that when I turn off the phone, the freezes go away.

I had a similar issue where Activesync would start running on my phone every so many minutes, when looking in the task manager it would be running. I fixed that by running task manager v2.8 from Fdcsoft you can download it from here http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm with that go to notification and disable replog.exe (AppRunAfterTimeChange). This does not affect active sync working when connecting to a pc or with push email.
Hi guys, thanks for looking in at my problem.
I decided to move away from N95 for the greener pastures of an MDA, of which i had previously had a Vario, and liked the basics of it, anyway,
I have a T-Mobile Compact IV (Diamond -Diam200) with original shipped ROM
ROM: 1.37.110.3
Radio 1.00.25.03
I was wanting to increase battery time (cute coming from an N95 i know), reduce battery heating prob, speed up and 'fix' some of the little bugs on it.
So i followed guides and instruction from the guys on here and things were going so well.
First off i used the unsigned HardSPL, which worked as instructed.
Then i flashed it to RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
This worked, but had an issue such that I could receive messages, but got the dreaded "Your text message cannot be sent."
And when i tried to check settings for text/voice messages it constantly said 'cant connect try later.'
So, hope your still with me here and havent dropped off,
I tried, in this order, but still the same error.
Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.08
SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-v7-0-Full-12MbPP -good rom btw
RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
Neither solved my problem, so i re-flashed back to original ROM, found on here also. Now I can text happily again, no error.
What am i doing wrong?
UPDATE:
it would seem as though only Radio 25.03 works for me with any of the excellent cooked ROMs.
Anyone shed any light on why? and has this any known major deficits ie battery power, etc?
Thanks
I got my mdac4 on Thursday and found that the stock rom was quite slow and pug ugly! So rather than rebrand the touch pro I installed the Swiftblade rom and ended up with a nice fast device but no sound at all and I had problems sending texts. So I then installed the panosha rom and 08 radio and very nice it is!
thanks Stunno, found the fault, it was my dated SIM, got a new one today and dutifully upgraded to 25.05.
Job done. Good times
Hi everyone, I am new to this topic and have only spent more time reading some of the topics relating to Hard-SPL, Roms etc since I have a had an issue with a recent upgrade of ROM supplied via Vodafone.
I have upgraded from the shipped ROM version 1.37 to 1.97, since the upgrade i was impressed with the slight changes that Vodafone had made to the screen response, and dialer slider ... BUT... wasn't impressed with the fact I am now being charged to access Windows Live, and Hotmail.
I used to be able to sit at home and access my wireless and just check my mail, since the upgrade being connected to my wireless it still connects via GPRS.
I have spoken to Vodafone and expressed my dissappointment, and they did lower my Data plan, but still it doesn't resolve the issue that i had a service which changed without notification.
They asked me to just go by my usual usage under the GPRS for the next five days just to review my usage and see how much of an impact this would make, works fine under GPRS, just a bit miffed now I can't use a feature on my phone, anyway, I went back to vodafone after 5 days and told them that I hadn't been able to download anything through my GPRS i.e attachments on emails.
I am looking to try and get this back to normal with my connections, Vodafone told me to think about doing a HARD-SPL on my phone, to check the version and to upgrade it to my phone... I have read and read and read... Now I have guides on how to do it and understood what it is for I am now confused which version I should be going for and Which ROM, I'm very worried to 'brick' my Diamond, it's the best device I have had.
BTW... Vodafone said doing this wouldn't void my warranty... that has to be a lie!!?
So I was wondering if anybody could help me to find a Hard-SPL version, ROM, Radio version that I require to upgrade my Handset I would be most greatful.
I checked the information from re-booting my phone with the down volume button pressed and dispalys the following:
DIAM100 64M
SPL-1.97.0000
Many Thanks
Hello everyone,
I have done a ton of google searches and spent about an hour reading through threads of people with similar problems. I have flashed a few roms and different spl/radios etc. Nothing seems to fix the problem.. Nor have I seen anyone in a post had their problem fixed either - they were just criticized and told to search the forums or read a generic faq on flashing radios..
Anyways, after reading all that and trying a few different radios nothing seems to help.
My device, while connected to 3G, can usually make 1 call when it first connects, then each call thereafter will fail with a beep beep beep.
I am running 3.29.Hard spl
Rom Version TPC_V10_MEGA WWE
Radio Version 1.70.18.02
Protocol Version 25.83.40.02W
Has anyone found a successful combination to correct their issues with the 3g network and their tilt? If you have no issues and have the same phone please post your build.
I have flashed from original roms and a few diff radios to no avail .
I really want my damned 3g to work.. and no I dont want to just manually switch to EDGE (which is what I have my phone forced on now).
Thanks in advance.
same here
I have had the same issue. The phone will show H or 3G and you cannot make a call. I have just accepted using the edge system to keep the phone working fine. The only thing you loose is the faster internet speed the phone otherwise works fine. I have assumed that I dropped the phone and something happened to the antenna. I contacted HTC about the issue and they say it is a hardware issue even though I have seen many speak of the same issue. I have the tilt.
I thought I did the same thing until I started searching and see that there are numerous people with the same issue.
I will just be patient and wait until a new winmobile phone comes out with a oversized screen! Hope the next xperia is that
Radio Issue
I had the same problem with that radio. I changed back to the 1.65 radio and everything worked properly again. I hope this helps.
See my sig for what I am running. I have run TPC's roms as well as others and almost every 6.1 compatible radio there is and have never encountered that problem.
Have you tried to go back to stock everything, rom radio and spl to see if that makes the difference ?
