hi all,
the problem is the following: my COM1 port is completely dead. no application can initialize it. no application is running in the backgorund. the other COM ports, USB, IR, etc work fine. i didn't do any updates, it just went dead, one morning i wasn't able to connect to my GPS anymore. i already did a hardreset, it didn't help. anyone any ideas? thx in advance!!
Not sure what to say, sounds like a hardware issue to me. Return it for warranty repairs, I'd say...
Wasn't there a hint to turn of the irda to get the COM-Interfaces working?
Just try it. You can't loose anything....
Start->Settings->networks-irda.....

For some reason my 8525 does not work with any rom with AKU 3.3, when I try to enter the comm manager it gives me that wait sign, and when it goes away nothing happens. Also the phone always says no service, and it does not even recognize when I don't have a sim card in. But the biggest problem is when I downgraded back to my old rom my Wlan does not work. No matter how i try and turn it on it does not start. If I try to start it in comm manager, i get that wait sign, and when it goes away the wlan is still off, the keyboard shortcut doesnt work either. I have reflashed the phone many times, and that hasnt fixed the wlan problem. BTW i flash from an sd micro card because I have windows vista and the regular upgrade method doesnt work on it.
Is there anybody that could please help me, it is out of warranty because I bought it on ebay, and I don't have the money to go about buying another one or repairing it (do they even repair pocket pcs these days?)
I toook the battery out and smelled the inside of the 8525, I think it smelled kinda funny, is it possible for the wlan chip to burn out?
btw, i will be willing to reward the person who helps me fix my pda (don't expect too much, im broke, probably $20 through paypal)
The first thing you need to do is flash to original ROM using XP and a USB cable.

Just asking, but would that be any different from getting the .nbh file from the original rom and flashing from SD, or does something different happen that could be causing my problem?

So just out of curiosity, what made you smell your Hermes? Because I tend to smell things, and I wondered if it was just the urge to smell it, or if you anticipated the burning-electronics smell...

I wouldnt trust flashing in two ways:
1. Retractable usb cable
2. SD card
You never know what can go wrong. Use XP and a REAL USB cable. If you still have a problem, very possibly you still will, but at least we can mark that off the list.

would using Virtual PC to run an image of XP on Vista be adequate?

I never used virtual PC before, I dual boot.
hypothetically, If I flashed to the original rom using XP and the wlan still didn't work what would I do next? Also i just realized that my pda is hotter than normal, and sometimes when i plyg it in the amber light blinks instead of being solid.
LOL. I hope you have a warranty.
I dont know, if your WLAN wont even power on after a SUCCESSFUL flash of a confirmed good ROM (the original ROM) then you sound screwed to me.

That's not good, I don't have a warranty.
Well anyone have any info about the AKU 3.3 and phone module problem? I think it might have something to do with the radio
@cjchriscj
I think you already know you have an issue. Base on this thread and your responses, it sounds like you have a feeling things are not right. Most of the time when you feel that way, you are usually correct.

Maybe but the WLAN is not a Radio ROM issue.

yea, I kinda assumed that, but my 8525 has many problems, I posted about another problem that I have where I can't use the onboard microphone for voice calls, only note recording, and the wired headset's mic doesnt work either. The only way that I can use my 8525 as a phone is with a bluetooth headset which I fortunatley have. But, I'm over that problem. I need help with the AKU 3.3 roms messing up the phone radio

you need to go back the shipped original ROM since we know that ROM works. AKU 3.3 is TEST so it is not good to use it as a hardware diagnostic tool.

whoa, thats news to me, I thought cingular officially released the new rom
Is there any sort of diagnostic tool for the hermes? I remember when i had my Ipaq Hx2415 it had a self diagnostic tool that would check all the functions (wifi, bluetooth, sound, touchscreen, buttons, etc). It would be great to see if something is really wrong with my wifi
OK now i think that the wifi is running but the pda doesnt know it. The battery is draining faster than normal and also it runs very hot. I put it to charge and when i came back it was blinkin amber and almost dead (yes, it was plugged in)
Hi, ervery.

Mine is a 6818 which has no Wifi. I have this error when I tried to use Wifi.
I think it maybe your Atom's wifi is broken.

Yup, your wifi isn't broken, just resolder the wifi circuit in your motherboard.
It solve the problem!!
Can you please inform me where is the wifi circuit on the motherboard

then how to do that. coz im having the same problem. sometimes wifi working and then its just not
I'm thinking this is impossible, but thought someone may know a solution.
I dropped my hd2 a few mths back and the screen cracked. It was fully functional up until this morning when a piece of glass was hanging out, so I pulled it off, now the touch screen wont respond, only the physical buttons.
I am looking for a way to be able to use the handset with a pc so I can do back ups of data etc..
Anyone got any ideas?
My first thought was the wifi access tool which lets you get full control of the unti via wifi, but I cannot run it.
Catch 22 situation.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
i think its possible with mymobiler.
connect your phone via usb (active sync) and it should work...
but i'm not sure if you have to accept the installation on your phone..wouldn't be nice to you

I'll give that a go later (cant download it in work ), hopefully no acceptance is required on the handset.

I'm having Bluetooth connectivity issues, specifically with my car (Volvo XC60, Bluetooth 04.23_R). For the last 2 or 3 weeks I've been using MegaFireMj2V6. Bluetooth was fine with other devices but the car wouldn't connect, always bringing up the "Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped" error. Yesterday I upgraded to MegaFireMj2V7X, and now I'm having issues with connecting other devices as well, in other words the problem is now even worse.
I'm new to ROMs and flashing. Is it possible to replace and audition alternative Bluetooth elements in the hope of fixing the problem? Failing that I'll have no choice but to try another ROM entirely. That would be a shame because I'm enjoying MegaFire. But Bluetooth connection between my phone and car is essential. I'm not a power user, I just need a simple ROM, preferably no bloatware but definitely good, reliable bluetooth. Any recomendations, please?
You can replace your Bluetooth now..

Could you be more specific?
I've researched and have found that the Bluetooth stack, "Bluetooth Share", can be replaced. I've tried out three backups of my own, created by Titanium Backup in recent weeks, but unfortunately, this hasn't solved my Bluetooth issue. I have Bluetooth Share v 4.2.2. Is that the only version available, or can anyone let me know where I can find and audition alternatives? Failing that, I'll be re-flashing MegaFireMj2V7X later today and keeping my fingers crossed that that does the trick (although I don't think it will!).

Yes. I can..
Thanks, Turl3. Reinstalling MegaFireMj2V7X repaired Bluetooth, but I'm left with the issue that I can't run two devices at once. I want to connect to both my Sony Smartwatch2 and my car at the same time. I've posted in the Q&A forum to see if anyone can help.

Bluetooth is weird! It wouldn't connect ... it wouldn't connect ... But then today, without my doing anything at all, I got into the car and all of a sudden both devices are connecting perfectly!! And it's been like that all afternoon. I'm not going to touch any settings on any device, and hopefully things will stay as they are

Hi user.
I hope someone can help me. When I pick up a call I can't hear any voice when the phone is close to my ear. Only after switching to speaker or headphone. What is wrong? Please help...
Your not alone this happened to me this morning. Factory reset. Flashed AEROM still not fixed. Am thinking of flashing original factory image to see if it's Def. Hardware.
Please if you find a solution let us know.
Sent from my P9000 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Have found that my Bluetooth is also not receiving sound also... Only sound is via jack headset... I'm now thinking gotta be ROM. So will now factory reset again re-flash original ROM but may try flashing preloader on its on first then the rom separately as if bricked. See if this recovers my sound
Please let me know if it works... Is, this issue not known by elephone?
Didn't work have tried every option and ROM I can find. All same.
Has to be hardware based. I've not see this mentioned in the BBS.telephone website.
Found tomrepair are available in UK who do telephone warranty repairs. The German one has some good reviews so am going to give them a try.
Good luck with yours.

think the same thing happened to my p9000 .. (two days after receiving it) .. the speaker went dead while talking ... gone try to reset it later, and see if that works..
did you get yours repaired?
Good luck! I jumped through hoops with tom repair UK but they turned out to be a complete waste of time.
DO NOT GO NEAR THEM!.
Couldn't find anyone else that even knew what the phone was locally so My phone is still broken. Bluetooth works so ATM I use a headset or speaker.
Shame as its a great phone. But as they say "you get what you pay for"
Good luck.
