What Problems you found since undating to GPS ROM ?

So it seems that so many people are enjoying there GPS enabled HTC trinity, there are so many people however (including me) are still afraid to do the move... still waiting for the official HTC ROM (who knows when is it gonna come, if it will come at all)....
My question is for those braves who upgraded already, would you guys please tell us about any problems you have with your devices since you upgraded ? speed, freezing, memory, odd behaviors, just any thing worth mentioning

Couple of minor things really..
Once in a while the start menu pops up without me pressing the corresponding buttons.
Once in a while after soft resetting, it does not start up the phone part. It keeps saying no service, but after a couple of flight mode on/off's it asks for my pin number and it starts up again.
For some reason, if I get a text message, and want to read it, the device shows the bottom part of the message first, most of the time being white and I have to scroll up to read the text.
But again, just minor things, apart from the last one, it might happen once a week or so...

I have none of these problems.
Only small problems I have discovered:
Timezone bug, the timezone switch back to -8 (in stead of +1).
I correct this by putting localtime and visitingtime on +1.
Alarm bug, the alarm only vibrate and rings ones.
It does not wake me up
Camera bug, the camera driver does not close the Ati driver for some reasons.
After I used the Camera I could not use CorePlayer with Ati playback until a softreset.
But I am very happy with the new rom.
It feels more stable to me then ROM 1.15 NLD.

Hi, I've updated my Trinity with this ROM.
All works fine, except that it doesn't work with my SIM card.
When I insert the SIM card, I got a message and the Network Wizard:"Your current operator (23433) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor.
Would you like to select another network provider?
Basically I can't connect to the network and the network wizard gave me only asian and australian operator I can choose from, but I'm on Orange and in UK!!
Please let me know what's wrong!
Cheers

Got this one too, I've read it had something to do with actice sync, but I did the same thing as you and it solved it for me too...

Never noticed, I'm pretty sure it does ring more than once...

No problem on my side (and since you never mailed the ATI driver to me because it might shut the camera off, i've got no problems whatsoever with coreplayer of the camera )

Uhmm... first thing that is wrong is that you posted this in three threads!
From what others have said the network wizard can be removed.
If the phone works with an italian SIM (as you said somewhere else) but not with the Orange SIM then maybe the Orange SIM is very old and doesn't work in a 3G phone? Or was it working before the upgrade?

ok, you're right...sorry about that..
Anyway, my sim card works, I found out that my phone, accept all the cards but Orange!!
Is possible that a device can reject one operator SIM? do you know if exist a SIM lock only for one operator?

So far I have not noticed any negative effect which is said on the above (timezone, start button poping out, etc) thread. However, I found the improvements as per below:
1) Camera Zoom Function now works (was not working before)
2) Better battery life (finish charging in the morning, made one call & by evening still shows 100%)
3) More responsive (AKU3.3)
4) Of course the internal GPS works ;-)

You can possibly solve this by following the next steps.
Do a hard reset.
Follow the first usage screens (Time, alignment etc).
After you click Finish do a softreset.
Normally the device install some Dopod software after you click finish. By doing a softreset the dopod software is not installed. You warning/error is possible caused by Dopod software. It installes some extra not usefull (for European people) network software.

I use the normal Ati drivers at the moment.
With the older Ati drivers the camera did not work anymore.
Try the next steps:
Do a softreset.
-Open CorePlayer or BetaPlayer and play a video (using the Ati video playback)
-Close CorePlayer or BetaPlayer
-Start the camera
-Close the camera
-Open CorePlayer or BetaPlayer again.
-Now I got a green screen and doesn't see any video playback with the Ati drivers.
-Do a softreset
-Open CorePlayer or BetaPlayer and the video is working fine again (using Ati driver)
I am not the only one with this problem.

My problems with that rom:
1.
Your current operator (23433) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor.
Seems to be a "fake error msg".
2.
Tomtom 5.1 is starting very slowly and Gps signal isn't found immediately. Takes up to 5 minutes!!!
3.
Sometimes Active Sync starts invisible without plugging my trinity onto my pc.
4.
sometimes my contact list is invisible, pressing on start solves that problem.
5.
my clock does the +1 to -8 switch....
6. my transcend 4gb mini-sdhc card is sometimes there, sometimes not.... holy ****!
---------------------
good things:
no camera bug
gps working
i hope that a original htc update is being released very soon....

1.
Your current operator (23433) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor.

What you mean by that?

"current operator not supported"
I think this message is occuring because the ROM is expecting a set of suppliers from the original region for the ROM. When you use it in other regions, it's not finding these providers, but it sucessfully connects to your local provider instead. I've had this error message, and when it appears, there's an option to say "don't display this again". Once I did this, I've never seen it appears again, and my phone is working well with no problems.
Lee.

my problem with the gps rom is these
1) voice calls go to voicemail automatically, seems to happen after a sequence of programs that i use, cannot identify at the moment possibility, gps or wifi program, a soft reset fixs this , but it will come back again
2) gps fix sometimes can take quite some time about 5 minutes b4 getting a fix

Use PIE to go to https://pda.hkjc.com/pda/MainMenu.aspx and click any of the link (e.g. Horse Racing), you'll get "The link is improperly formatted" error. Seems like this is a bug in IE handling Javascript.
I've tried hard-resetting the machine (i.e. no additional application installed) and the same error happens.
I also used another D810 with an old ROM (1.17) and this problem couldn't be reproduced.
This is frustrating ....

Do you mean you can click further into one of the links (e.g. Football, HorseRacing) on the page without error?

I swear that my MP3 quality is GREATLY degraded after upgrading to the test rom. Used to be rich with plenty of bass when plugged into my car aux input when I was using HTC rom, now it sounds like I am listening through a tin can!!! Sounds like most of the lower frequencies are not being sent out of the audio output. Could this just be a connection problem in the jack and just coincidence that I had just put on the new rom?
Anyone else with the same experience?

1. No bass
2. Slow screen response when stylus is constantly on it. ie play games like skyforce.
3. When bluetooth is on, unit randomly turns on and stays on.
Eagerly awaiting a rom upgrade.

Good for most part
Occasionally takes long time to find gps.
Once connected works great.
Sometimes have to soft reset after using gps software.
I use my external Bluetooth when I use TOM TOM. Its a hell of a lot quicker and easier.

This does not show up on the updates for my TyTynII (downloads are serial number specific) only in the generic downloads.
I think its best if you only apply this IF you suffer with any Bluetooth problem.

Re: does this work on AT&T Tilt?
In the HTC 1.56 ROM, this file is a replacement for \Windows\TIInit_4_2_38.bts a.k.a. (OEM\OEMDrivers\TIInit_4_2_38.bts for chefs). There is nothing else in that cab (see upgrading forums thread for better description)
Edit: I was wondering if I kept quiet, how many people would have experienced a placebo effect and said that it works great and makes bluetooth 10x better on AT&T...
Summary
If you happen to be an AT&T Tilt user that has flashed to an HTC ROM, this fix will work for you. If you're running an AT&T ROM, or you have no idea what a ROM is, but you know your phone says AT&T on it, it does nothing.

Does this fix the issue were bluetooth is dropped after finishing a call ?

Thanks for letting us ATT users know that it doesn't do anything. Guess we don't have this issue But on a serious note does this actually fix anything besides a supposed call dropping? I don't have that issue but of course we all have tons of issues with BT quality.

I have install the update listed above on a Tilt running the RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship Rom and the Bluetooth quality has jumped 100%. My Bluetooth stereo headphones sound great.
Thanks for starting this thread.

Awesome, thanks! I was going to ask if anyone had drop call problems as it happened to me twice last night and I happened to have my BT headset on

I have a lot of crackling background on my BT headset. Did not have that on the 8525. Also, there seems to be less functionality supported in the Tilt implementations, regarding the BT, vs the 8525 (I was running a cooked ROM though on my 8525). What i mean by that, is that I was able to use the BT buton to activate the voice dial using the MS VM. In addition, hitting the BT button twice was getting me a redial. Not anymore. I wonder is this has to do with the AT&T ROM or not? Is this a genuine HTC issue?

Before I switched to Dutty's ROMs, I was running the stock Tilt Rom for a few days, and then the newer Tilt ROM for a week. Both of those AT&T Tilt Stock roms gave me no issues like you mentioned. I heavily use my BT headset (Jawbone), and use Microsoft Voice Command (I very seldom use the dialer as its easier to just speak and have the phone dial for me). Pressing once on my headset would always bring up MS VC so I could issue it commands, and pressing twice on my headset always did a redial.
Now that I'm on Dutty's 7b, I have the same behaviors there too. Not sure what to tell you (other than some BT headsets don't work well with WM6, but if you were using the same headset on your 8525 then thats probably not the case).
As always... YMMV

I checked the AT&T's 1.60.502.3 rom and it does exist. I didn't check the stock AT&T rom so I don't know if it wasn't there. I did a file comparison with ExamDiff between HTC's fix (22,490 bytes), AT&T's 1.60.502.3 version (22,490 bytes) and HTC's 1.56.405.5 version (23,899 bytes). It appears AT&T's newest rom already has the fix so anyone using the following roms should not have to apply the fix:
AT&T stock 1.60.502.3
Kyphur's XDA Live
Dutty's AT&T Variants
Custel's Series
_Alex_'s 1.60
any of DK's roms (shameless plug)

Is rapidshare the only place to get this? I am behind a firewall.

Give this a read. I have MS VC 1.6 working just fine on my Jabra BT250 after following the instructions.
you can ignore the first part about removeing the cybertron dialer or whatever.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=998205&postcount=9

I'll try it. Thx for the tip. I am not sure if this only works for 8525/TyTn (I do have the TyTn II/Kaiser)
Edit:
Tried. Sorry, did not work. Oh well. will see, but for now I wil stick with the AT&T ROM.

Hi,
there is something weird about that fix:
when the cab is on the kaiser, you tap on the file to install it.
you believe it's installed but in program files , you may find
a "kai6492_hotfix" shortcut, you tap on it and the choices are install or exit
it's seems there an identity check to be sure it's on a kaiser
"module id is kais(required kais)"
then if "equal" "ok" then install
and soft reset needed
why two install required ?
the kai6492_hotfix is still in program files after that
and last VC1.6 was working on my bt headset(but the voice recognition succeded about only 10%,i think because of audio quality when i am speaking) but i could ear vc1.6 replies ou questions)
now it is not working anymore.
when i click on the button(headset) before it was launching voice command as the harware button (assigned to it) could do it
now the same button launches the phone dialer(as i was tapping on "call"(green phone)).
ps; since that hotfix, i haven't been able, any more, to install btIO-0.6-wm5 cab

Deleted cause not worth it....

Fring - How did you install it?

Hi,
I am having trouble installing Fring on the latest Dutty Rom. Has anybody else experienced this problem?
I install the cab to either memory or storage and it still does the same thing... It just loads the splash screen up and hangs there?
I contacted fring about this problem and they replied with the following:
"Hello Colin,
Thank you for contacting our support team.
We are aware of the issue and working to solve it in the near future.
Make sure to check our blog for version updates http://www.fring.com/blog

Thank you,

I see alot of people on this forum using Fring and I was just wondering how they went around installing it?
Thanks,
Colin Jensen

Worked fine for me on Dutty's V3 - I installed it and ran it with wi-fi turned off and was surprised that it automatically turned wi-fi on to connect.

Same here
Yeah, I got the same problem on my phone. I have had Fring on my before but it was acting buggy so I uninstalled it and looked for the newer version of it and tried installing it but I install it and like you said the splash screen comes up and just hangs.
Did you ever get it to work? I see that this is an old thread.

I had the same problem on my phone when I installed for a brief period of time last week. I ended up uninstalling......

i have installed the cab on a number of ROMS, never had any issue..

official tilt 6.0 rom didn't work, q mobile 1.2 rom didn't work...official tilt 6.1 rom, @ least it actually opens now (no more error screen) but doesn't get past loading. 3 roms, still haven't been able to get it working over here.

yep, confirmed, same problem, multiple roms, multiple ways of installing, multiple connections when opening program, Fring is still just stuck on the splash screen that says "Fring is loading" I had it working at one point in my Kaiser's life but nothing now seems to revive it, been trying for months, there are no fixes that I have seen online. Any good alternatives?

No problem so far.....
been using it for over 1month now....
installing and uninstalling for more than 8times
i justgot my kaiser....thats why with all thecustomization....
am using a russian Wm6.1 rom

I have the same issue
I tried every known fix that can be googled... I also contacted Fring... no help. It seems to be a huge problem with the 6.1 Roms. Someone here should have a fix...

Nope, it's fring's job to get it right, not much we can do... and they unfortunately dont seem to care much about WM6.1 users given the number of reports they've had for weeks/months about the problem and their everlasting "we're gonna investigate it" answer.

Language settings
I've the same problem with Fring that I've with google map.
My PPC regional settings are set to China, since it's the olny way to display chinese caracters everywhere in the OS (notice the OS is in English).
But, fring's language (like google map) is choosen according to those settings... it's very annoying.
Does anybody if there is a way to disable this feature (registry hack...) ?
Thanks,

Fring on kaiser
i just installed fring on my kaiser im using duttys_wm6.1 hybrid v2 and dont have a problem with it. it loaded up properly and everything seems to be working. my only thought is maybe a high amount of cpu usage, (programs that are running from start-up?) that is slowing everything down and causing the app to hang of freeze. thats just my thought. im probably wrong. anytime i have an issue with any kind of app freezing of not starting up thats usually were i look first. i hope that this helps. if not im sorry and at least i tried.

Problems so far .....

Having used the phone for x2 days here are a list of the problems I have noticed so far ...
1) Battery life sucks. After a full recharge overnight the phone lasts from about 8am to 5pm, and that is without using it too much. I have pushmail activated so GPRS is always on.
2) The reception is definitely not as good (c/w trinity and tytnII). I am on T-mobile in the UK. My reception at work is not usually that good, but now it is non existant.
3) At times the Touchflo 3D menu can be quick jerky/sluggish taking more than a few seconds to refresh which makes selecting the correct menu item difficult. Other times it is smooth and works well.
4) Very tempermental when answering a call. Often cuts off after a few rings or when the green button is pressed. My wav ring tone file doesn't start properly and is distorted intially, then begins to work.
5) Despite having a gprs connection the weather doesn't always update.
6) On the browser tab of the TouchFlo, it can be difficult to select one of your favorite links, it doesn't always select.

Agree with above. In addition:
1. Does not remember backlight settings in battery e.g. I would like the backlight to remain for 1 min, but it always defaults to 10 sec (I have unchecked auto light adjustment)
2. Does not remember phone view settings under MENU\VIEW. I would like it to display ALL CALLS, but it defaults to CALLS AND CONTACTS even without a reset i.e. if I exit the phone screen and return after a few minutes, it shows this behavior.
3. ROM definately slower than Athena AP4 (6.1 base) by PK.
4. I thought it had 256 ROM and 192 RAM (thats what the box says), but the memory app reports 82.81 and 133.08M respectively (waiting for Comnex, PK team to see if they can come up with a similar cracker that they did for Athena)

I definately agree with the signal strength, my touch cruise had stellar signal strength in my house, the diamond is poor.
not had chance to fully test battery.
My weather has always updated regularly and phone calls have been great on 3uk, no dropped calls at all.
Touch flow 3d is taking some getting used to but i definately think its an improvement.
All in all my moans are:
1. Signal not as good as cruise.
2. It was nice to have memory card in touch cruise (8gig) for dam fast file transfer (when taken out and used as usb drive) the 4 gig in the diamond is quite sluggish if your moving a lot of files.

Earlier this week I could have sworn you all would think I am nuts when I did my review.. I guess you are all experiencing the same problems I had!! HTC needs to fix!

The ringer is also quite soft !!!!

I'm sure a radio update, albeit not for USA, will be out and will improve reception!

If there really is a software issue thats holding back the UK release i'm sure you can expect a new rom in a matter of days.
But since all current diamonds are grey, where would you get that rom from?
Also if they are branded for a HK operator will you even be able to install the HTC rom without hard/soft spl.
Is anyone with a diamond able to register to any HTC site? UK, USA or HK?

Why are they saying they are grey?? All Diamonds are made in HongKong anyway!

Physically there's no difference of course, its just the serial number - which means HTC may not honour waranty in a different country, and possibly CID lock if its made for an operator - which means generic roms may not work.
In this case i think its just about the waranty and not being able to register to the HTC website to get ROMs.

the HTC site isnt accepting ANY diamond serial numbers yet as it has not been updated...
An update on the ROM though, HTC have identified some "undocumented features" and promise an update but will take a few months...

lol if all else fails its the 'i just know trust me'
From what i've seen this is based on ONE guy who called HTC and says he was told that. That then got posted in various forums slightly modified, and now it seems it has turned into 'i have my sources...'
I'll wait for official confirmation thanks

then pull up a chair and get in line with everyone else, because we all know HTC are hopless when it comes to "official" confirmation.
As if ANY company will own up to "undocumented features" in ANY product.

More creditable sources are claiming that HTC are not happy at all about what expansys are upto.

What about the camera on the diamond ?
Is it the same as on the tytn2 and touch cruise (meaning dropping fps and lagging as hell in darker places) ?

the camera seems quicker in darker conditions, on other thing i need help on, how do you delete files in the windows folder, i need to free up some space as these vga apps kill the free storage space and i like to keep most progs installed to the main mem. The reason i ask is because there is alot of wasted space ie the opera cab file is in the windows folder at 4meg. i have resco explorer but cant unchecck "rom file". This opera browser is amazingly fast btw!

afaik you cant delete those files. to get rid of those you need your own cooked rom, where you exclude those files, before uploading the rom to your device.
there is a lot of information about rom cooking in the hermes thread and in the wiki, if you are interested.
hope that helps,

SMS not sounding

Hi everyone I just bought my TD2 and the sms doesn't sound until I press the button to take it off stand by!
I already downloaded the hotfix from HTC but it still didn't solve it! Sometimes it sounds and sometimes it doesn't!
I always have to be pressing the button so that I know if I have any new sms!
Thanks for any help

sms sound
i think a i the same problem, not sure !!!

I think HTC have just released a hotfix for this issue. Try look in the support section from the official website

check here.
http://www.htc.com/asia/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=592

The hotfix doesn't work for me
I have sent HTC a support mail

What ROM version/Radio verison do you have?
I have the same issue but I am putting it down to the hotfix which I have not installed as of yet as I am potentially thinking of putting on the 6.5 flash that is available on here.

Hotfix doesn't work properly
I've installed the hotfix but it doesn't always work!
Although sometimes the sms sounds now, still most of the times it doesn't!
I've sent an email to HTC explaining the problem!
Maybe everyone who has the same issue should email HTC so that they know their hotfix isn't working right!
My Rom version is 1.39.410.0(47382)PTG
Radio 3.43.25.19

I've just got diamond2 and had the sms problem tonight. I've installed the hotfix and hopefully it will fix it. We will see!

I did, the told me if the hotfix didn't work, I had to send it in for repair ??

I'd rather not send mine off for repair :/ The hotfix doesnt work for me either. How do I send a support email to them?

tried this?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
Locate DisableSMSWakeUpEvent entry, and change its value to 0 (the value is 1 by default).

trying it now, dnmo. The problem is that the sms not sounding is very unpredictable and completely random. Sometimes it will, others time it wont. There's no sequence to it at all! It could be half way through a texting conversation too which is very annoying.

It isn't really the best work around. It brings the screen out of stand-by which I don't want. Any other ideas?
