Hi everyone! great info on this site. been lookin around for a few hours now. Ive had my Qtek9090 for almost a year now. Trying to get a grip on this whole UPGRADING the ROMs idea. which brings me to my question.
I am a firm beliver of the whole "if it aint broke, dont fix it" saying... however i would like to upgrade my PDA for legitament reasons...
I am not interested in going to MOBILE 5. from what i have gathered it has conflicts with TOMTOM NAV 5 (which i use everyday) and other conflicts that convince me otherwise.
However, my PDA does hang randomly causing me to "soft reset" and sometimes when i call people they cannot hear me but i can hear them..
I am just curious as to which upgrades specifically i need to rid of said problems.. (If the upgrades fix other "bugs" that doesnt hurt either.. but i dont want to open the door to more problems..)
Thanks in advance everyone.
P.S. - how do i get my profile to allow me to choose qtek9090 and rom dates from the drop down boxes? i added the correct info to signature box, due to the fact that i could not add it initally.
I have to say that running TomTom5 on WM5 i've had no problems since TomTom released a 5.2 patch.
The reason I went for WM5 was very simular to the problems you are having, random lockups and sometimes if I answered a call I could hear someone but they couldnt hear me. Since going to WM5 I haven't had any problems with these two issues. The only thing that WM5 has that bugs me is the slow keyboard, which a simple overclocking can fix (which Blue Angels are designed to do)
Do you know what ROM you are on at the moment? If you goto 'Start -> Settings -> Device Information' then you can get all the versions, copy them here and I guess peeps will be able to tell you what can be upgraded.
Duh! Signature... :roll:
hehe
LOL @ signature! agagag. hmm im actually scared of going to wm5. but huh who knows.. i would really rather avoid it tho... How is that new patch for tomtom? what does it fix? thanks for the quick answer.
radio rom
You might try updating your radio rom to 1.15
Greetings vastloper
Well before the patch I couldn't even install TomTom5! :lol:
The trick is to download the update BEFORE trying to install TomTom5. If you unzip the update package (WinRAR does it) then insert your TomTom installation CD without autorun, then in the folder you unziped run the "setup.exe" program. Hay presto it all works.
It's even simpler then I make it sound.
And yeah, Radio Upgrade if nothing else should fix a couple of problems. I think you have to do a hard reset anyway for the radio update, but if your BA keeps locking up I'd make sure you do one.
thanks for the info
thanks for the info guys... yea i did something stupid last night. i tried to do that VGA hack, and it ended up not working and screwing up my file explorer? any ideas on how to remove it? ive been messin with it and i got tot he point where its "GOOD AS IS" and i deleted the files.. whats teh file called so i can look in the FTP downloads for the 1.15 RADIO UPDATE.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.15_Upgrade
Not only do you get the file, but full instructions on how to install it. :wink:
On the same page is a link to the old versions, so if for somereason you don't like the 1.15 Radio ROM you can just downgrade again. In fact the same goes for WM5.
thanks
hey thanks alot bro. Ill give the upgrade a shot.
I am more interested in vastloper because he has or had the same QTEK 9090 as i did. and im just curious as to how your current ROM is? stable? anything ya dont like about it??
well guys updated to the 1.5 RADIO ROM after reading the whole thread... had some probs with installation but thanks to the INFO on the site i managed to get through it... however i did lose my MP3 sound. and could not find an answer to it so far.. anyone got an idea?
1 person mentioned he had the same problem. but everyone else didnt.
update
did some trouble shooting and narrowed it down to media player i think. If i do a soft reset, and load an MP3 from PDA HD, it works. but when i close media player, all my sound cuts out!! even basic windows tones.
the sound will work while playing the MP3, even when i use the pause button, But its only after i close MEDIA PLAYER all my sound stops working. Any ideas?
found a ref to the exact same problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28534&highlight=mp3+stop+sound
i duno if theres a fix... Thinking about going to Tmobile 1.42 im going to bed ive been reading for 10 hrs straight and its 7 am.
Hey everybody, I have been searching for hours on this problem but have not found an answer. I recently bought a att tilt (waiting to get it unlocked) and tried the camera and it was working, I just now "upgraded" to the HTC rom Sleuth's TyTN II Derivative (which is damn great) but my camera has stop working. Everything works fine but the camera. I havent installed anything on it but gps viewer and the slide to unlock. ANybody with the same problem? or anybody with a fix? thank you,

Is your sound working OK?
If not, then it's definately a wrong RADIO ROM.

Wow, that was helpful...NOT!
I'd try a second HR to see if that cures it. I try to make sure that I always do a HR after installing the ROM, don't know why but it does seem to help.
i had that problem with a tilt that was flashed to a kaiser rom. camera wouldn't start...just lagged and no feed came through using dutty's No5 rom. his No5 version for the tilt(or whatever number it was) got the camera to work but no gprs connection. his No6 rom has all things go.
only a few had the same problem so it went unexplained, so just flash around. good luck, as i don't really have a better answer as i was in the same boat
Same problem here camera is just black and laggs like heck
I havent checked my sound yet because as I said I havent unlocked the SIM yet, still waiting on the code but everything else works great. I dont really need the cam buti have it there so its hard to ignore it. Ill try what you guys recomment and will post back. thanks guys

What's wrong with my post?
When you have a Kaiser with the latest ROM and latest RADIO ROM, your camera and sound will work. However, when you flash a (cooked) HTC ROM you have to downgrade your RADIO ROM. If you don't, your sound and CAMERA will not work!
hmm interesting, i have to wait till i get it unlocked to test the sound (you are talking about calling sound and not just keyboard/ ringtones, etc right? how do i downgrade my radio rom? can you please point me out to a link and to which one i should be downgrade it to.
hmmm, i just checked and i do not have sound so i think that its the radio rom. dammit, i knew it wasnt going to be that easy. Gotta find a way to downgrade my radio rom now, any help is appreciated
johan had the right answer, it was indeed the radio rom, changed my radio rom and it is working flawlessly. thank you guys alot for your help! Love the damn phone
It's the radio
you need to tune in the right station with the right radio j/k... just download other or posibly NIKI radios works great!
Hi everyone I'm new with WM, before I had only Symbian. I have ATT Tilt which I've unlocked and updated to Kaiser firmware, with help of this forum. Before Skype worked perfect for me, I had WM6 pro, but now when I've upgraded to WM6.1 it wont work, during loading message appears: Failed to load file. I've tried to reinstall it for few times... no help. Maybe somebody knows any solution for that problem. Thanks.

Seriously, does ANYONE read anything around here before they jump into a new ROM? Would you jump into a pool BEFORE looking to see if any water was in it? How many threads have people already posted and said "NOT ALL APPLICATIONS ARE WORKING ON 6.1" Start reading, read some more, THEN post a relevant question.

Downgrade back to WM6? Though I think I read somewhere that once you upgrade, you can't go back. There was a thread where people were finding problems with their phones after they went back to 6 that going back to 6.1 again didn't solve.
I remember when Vista first came out and the reports of programs failing left, right and centre. That's one of the main reasons I'm not bothering to upgrade until the compatability issues are resolved...
Is there any alternative program, that is also works with Skype network? I know Fring, but it's not so good. Maybe there are others?
hi, im new to these forums but i can allready see that most people are helpful and i was wondering if you could help me with a few problems.
i have recently tried to use my tytn 2 (o2 stella) as a makeshift mp3 player since mines broke and iv came across a few problems, the first being that i cant get the wired remote to work, iv looked in the users manual and it says "install the driver" but not were from, can anyone link me to the driver?
secondly this may simply be a n00bish mistake but im fairly new to pocket p.cs, i cannot lock the phone while the windows player is up simply because i cannot get back the the "desktop" where the lock icon is
any help would be greatly appreicated
thanks

As a fellow Stellar user I just plugged in my Wired headset and went. Pressing "Play" Launches HTC Media Player (Don't know if that is in the standard ROM, but works in all the cooked ones).
Also, look for S2U2 and S2P in the "Development and Hacking Forum", a great locking program and MP3 player.

If your not using a New ROM, read-up and flash one.
Never had to play with the drivers at all.

read the wiki on roms and rom flashing.
tried and failed, got to the "red green white and blue" screen and it just stays like that :/
I did a search under "audio" and "search", and couldn't find anything or suck at searching.
I'm using the AT&T Tilt which I did the WM 6.1 upgrade minus bloatware and am running KaiserTweak. Other than that, everything is factory.
I can talk on my phone just fine and it rings without issue, but all other sounds are muted. The alarm only vibrates even though sound is also selected, no sound for music, no ques on my bluetooth (ie, "Say a command"). I'm sure it's something easy and I'll feel stupid, but can anyone help me out?
In addition, my display will dim and the only way to brighten it again is to blank the screen and then turn it back on (I haven't searched this yet).
Thank you very much, Peter.

What Radio version are you using?
Try upgrading to a WM6.1 Radio (or a different version).

Now for my next trick an even stupider (is that a word) question --- How do I tell what redio I'm using?
I'm reading threads about Radios and the different versions available, but I still haven't found how to determine which one I'm using.
Thanks
**** Edit, never mind, I found it. I'm using 1.65.21.18 on ROM versin 3.57.502.2 WWE

That should be OK.
Have you done Hard SPL, if so try some of the other Radios, they might work

I'm not sure what HardSPL is ... Noob.
I'm also searching to see how you install a new radio. There are just so many posts here that you have to search through pages of search result after search result to find this stuff.
I'm looking at going to the 1.65.24.36 radio, but I've read that you have to have HardSPL, which I still don't know what that is, and it says its the NIKI network, and I don't know if that means I can't run it on the AT&T network.
Confusing and overloading at the same time.

Hehe
Hard SPL allows you to flash you phones ROM with Images other than the ones provided by your carrier.
Installation instructions in Post #2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922 You will probably be best with 3.56 version.

If the Radio is listed in this thread and is for the same WM version it should work. All the other info is where it was ripped from, it only goes in the thread if it works.
However, all that aside, if you have just upgraded the ATT stock ROM, none of that should be needed. Can you re-check all of the Sound and Volume options in Start>Settings and the Drop down from the volume option on the today screen.
Thanks
Dave

Yes, it's just the stock WM 6.1 ROM. I'm not interested in being a power user, I just want the very basic improvements. This may change down the road, but everything with the exception of sound works great.
In the Sounds & Notifications settings. Events, Programs and Notifications are checked but not Screen Taps or Hardware Buttons. When I click on the "Speaker" icon, both the device and phone settings are at max and on.
I dunno then, maybe another ATT user will come along and have some more help, sorry
Dave
Thanks Dave, I appreciate your help. I'll probably just hard reset it and see what happens. Thanks again.
Maybe the bloatware install was interrupted to early?

Absolutely a good idea, especially if you've just upgraded ROMs (always a good idea to do a hard reset after a ROM upgrade anyway as a matter of course). If you interrupted the configuration/bloatware install at the wrong place, that may explain why some of your sounds aren't working also. Try the full uninterrupted install, test the sound in all the areas where it currently doesn't work properly, then work backwards doing another hard reset and interrupting it at the 'right point' until your sounds are there but not the things you don't want.
The OP was 100% correct. He sucks at searching.
Hey m8 i have a same problem as U! I tryed everything but nothing. I dont know how to solve this one. I also tryed every fck version of radio and even original htc OS. I also tryed with hard reset but didn't help. I also have topic in General area - Sound problem - DEATH! so...u are not alone

Yeah, but at least I'm not posting stupid comments just to try to boost my post count.

Hard reset worked, so I'll just hope it's not reoccurring.
