For English ROM
ROM version: 1.60.00 WWE
Radio version: 1.08.00
ExtROM version: 1.60.44
MMS Client: 1.6.0.8
Has anyone tried this combination yet? If so, would you recomend it? Currently, I ahve no problems with the existing ROM and RS.
Can anyone advise on this?
I tried the upgrade and it worked. Although I don't like the way it leaves your screen. You have no idea the thing is finished. Just leaves a message saying PLEASE WAIT. I left it overnight doing it's thing so it must have finished.
The BIG problem is that you can't restore your backup files if you used like me Activesync. If anyone can recommend a backup and restore program that I can use. I still would like to get onto the upgrade.
For mms client there arent problems..but this Radio Stack with New Os Rom..Dunno.. Try at your own risk. lol
Upgraded to O2's Asia upgrade release
Ok guys, I took the dive to upgrade before any replies. Was crossing my fingers and hope for it to at least be on par with the older version.
It has been 24 hrs since. Noticed that it performed faster when launching and closing applications. But I pocket ie still could not read certain links from yahoo weather.
MMS sending is very much faster as gprs take a shorter time to loggon. Radio wise, have yet to try out places with bad reception eg 1bar.
Overall, still happy that it has yet to show signs of bugs.
The only question bugging me is why is the ROM date 12/3/03? Way before the machine was released.

Hi,
When you dial anyone and their phone is engaged, does your xda just cut off, with a faint blip? There is no "beep beep beeep" engaged tone.
Im on o2 Uk network. Is this a bug, setting on my phone? Its quite annoying
strange, keeping getting logged off when i post. above is from me.
On posts like the above, it would be really helpful to know the Radio version and ROM version you're using.
Yeah I get that as well
Radio Version: 4.08
ROM Version: 3.14.13
Primed
Perhaps you could look at upgrading to a more recent version of the ROM & Radio.
The current release available on the o2 web site is quite stable, the versions are ROM 3.17.03 & Radio Ver 4.21
Print the instructions and follow them to the letter & all will be fine. I've done this 4 times on various units;

Good luck
RUU 3.17.03
I wonder if that will work with RSU 3.23.01?
And what are the differences compared to RUU 3.16.52?

Thanx!
If only I had an extra Qtek 1010 to test new stuff on... I guess I'd better ask my boss if he feels like buying me one...
:?
Happens on all the US phones with all ROM versions. Just cuts off the connection if the called line is busy.
Hi rom: 3.14.13
radio vers: 4.16
protocol vers: 32s54
This is the April update to the ROM from the o2 Uk website. Havent applied latest ROm update.
However, as others have mentioned the BUSY tone doesnt sound, just cuts off.
Same thing here, when I cal someone that's busy talking on their line, I get this di-di-da sound and the phone hangs up. Also had some funnies when trying to make calls when hearing volume on phone accidentally was set to zero, but that's another story. (don't try that..)

Title says it all. I had tried the HTC South African ROM, and liked it, but I couldnt get the keyboard to correspond with the 8525 symbols. Searched all day and decided that it wasn't worth the minimal speed increase. Instead of going back to the ROM I had, the 1.34...ROM, I decided to go with this one since it has AKU 2.6. I am so glad I did!
I live in Queens, and 3G has NEVER worked in my house. Only certain times throughout my day I would see the U symbol on my phone. And it was in south Middle Village, not near my house. Since I upgraded/downgraded the ROM, not only do I have U in my house, but after 8 dslreports.com tests, I averaged over 800 kbps and peaked at 972Kbps! Perhaps its a coincidence that U is up and running here today, but I seriously doubt it! I also upgraded the radio to 1.20 and noticed a slightly less wait time for 'locating" in PIE. The OS seems faster as well, but not much faster, than the newer Cingular ROM. To any Cingular 8525 owners out there this ROM is definitely worth a look!
There must be a reason that they decided 3 WEEKS LATER to go back to AKU 2.3. Is there a bug in this ROM that I haven't discovered yet?
The radio upgrade is what made UMTS more accessible. The OS portion of the ROM didn't have any effect on your wireless. AKU 2.6 is reported to have problems, but I never personally tried it or tried to track them after I read MS Voice Command wouldn't work with it. There was a lot of discussion about AKU 2.6 in the Wizard forum, you might find some info there.
Did you install the newer radio code independently, or did it come with the South Africa ROM?
I noticed the increase in UMTS accessibility after upgrading the ROM. I upgraded the radio only to minimize the "locating" delay in PIE, activesync, etc. It mihgt be a coincidence, who knows.
Cyberon works fine w/this ROM. I never really cared fpr VC, it uses too much RAM and is a lot slower than cyberon IMO
The reason for the thread was to hopefully find out what the problems are that have been reported. Seemse strange that Cingular made a new ROM a few weeks after and went back to 2.3
I don't know why they went back to aku 2.3, but for the problem you where having with the keyboard, you could have solved it by installing a cab in the cingular's extrom (don't remember now exactly wich one).

Yeah, I had searched, and searched, and found one of your posts that spoke about a cab with "keypad.." in the name, but I downloaded TWO Cingular ExtROMS and that file was not in either of them. When I first installed the 1.35 ROM, I replaced its extrom with the newest Cingular extROM, to no avail. I don't mind though, I like this ROM so far and it hasn't caused any issues for me. And its Cingular-issued, so all of the settings were there for me.
hi there, i recently upgraded my rom from the orginal orange one, as my phone was playing up. it was always not wanting to wake up from going in to standby without doing a soft reset. so then i upgraded to the WM6 vinilla rom, the same thing happened then but it was alot worse, then upgraded to the 0.21 rom. and im still getting the problem, without having any new programs installed its still doing it, so im not to sure whats the cause?
heres some info about it. Im in the UK with the network Orange too.
Thanks.
Radio Version: 1.06.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.37.7010.01W
ROM Verion : 3.22.110.1
Hi,
I have also recently upgraded from the original Orange rom etc to XDA Live 0.2.1. I also had occasional (only occassional) failure to wake up issues.
Since upgrading I have not had this, and the ROM is much faster and seems more stable. Today I upgraded my radio to 1.27 as well, but too early to comment on that.
I also use Phone Alarm, SPB Time, SPB Weather, and Pocket Plus. I had an issue with PA not changng profiles automatically but reverted to an slightly earlier version and touch wood it seems to have resolved it.
Can't really advise much theefore, but maybe the fact mine works (so far) could rule out a few things.
its really annoying, i would of thought that flashing a new rom it would be fine. but its still playing up, alot worse, i have to soft rest the phone everytime i want to make a phone call or to check i have a text. cant stand much longer of this. where can i get that radio rom from?
just flashed it with xda live 0.10 this time see if thats any better.
still no luck, fronzen about 4 times since i last posted. just wont wake from sleep, even if i set it to stay on without the backlight it will still freeze, im testing without a sim card in atm to see if that makes a difference,
anyone what can be causing this?
thanks.

Your Problem With The Calls In WMXL Is That If You've Upgraded Straight From The Orange ROM Then You Have An Old Radio Installed. Upgrade You Radio After Installing The WMXL OS And That Should Help Iron Out Your Calling Problems.
Cheers
Are you using a micro sd card?
If so, try starting from scratch WITHOUT putting the card anywhere near the phone. (ie don't use the card at all until you can prove it has nothing to do with it.)
Just a thought. I am sure some cards caused problems. (although I am using one (sandisk).
EDIT: Just seen Mousey's post - definitely a good idea, although I had the same radio as you using WM6 till I upgraded the radio today, with no problems.
where can i get a good radio for the orange network in the uk?
also i tried it without putting the sd card in and it was still the same. one thing i tried was not to put the sim card in and it was much better, dont think it crashed atall, so its down to the phone side of it.
thanks.
oh another thing, when flashing the rom it said it would take 20 mins, it only took about 5-7 mins maybe less :S is that a problem?
No. The XDA Live install is quicker than a normal rom.
"where can i get a good radio for the orange network in the uk?"
I am using 1.27 - check the wiki for radio only upgrades - same process as upgrading rom to XDA live but with a different file.
I understand that 1.34 or 1.35 are supposed to be OK, but anything from 1.27 should be OK - I have been using 1.27 today with no issues yet, but still early.
I am struggling to find any notes etc to specify the differences or specific advantages of the different radios.
Try one and see - DOESN'T NEED A HARD RESET.
installed 1.34 and its worse. losing signal etc. but im still getting crashes. i dont know what the hell is the fault. its so unstable its unbelieveable.
update : the phone doesnt crash or freeze or anything, if there is no sim card in the device. but it will crash when there is one in, i think its due to switching from 3g to gsm. also ive notcied that sometimes when i boot the phone where its supposed to display the radio and protocol info, it says no GSM!
ive now installed radio 1.27
would any software beable to still be in my phone after a rom upgrade?
any help would be great.
Perhaps try with a different SIM? may be a dodgy SIM...
seemed to work fine with my gfs orange pay as you go sim. but crashed once in a few hours. ive now unlocked my phone and CID unlocked it, and it hasnt crashed once. i think the boot number has cahnged from 04 to 06 too, seems to be stable now, (hopefully)
Just wanted to know how often does everyone's Hermes become no response.
I installed minimun apps and kept my memory and flash clean,carefully make them not too narrow.
But,it just becomes frozen anytime.When a call comes,a MMS comes,or I started a program.
Is that because I am using WM6?I also installed Chinese and Japanese support cabs.
Do someone have an idea about this?Or have the same exprerence with me?
This thee should be a poll ...abot once a day...even at the sam time...between 8 and 9 AM...this is about 2 hours set radio ON with PhoneAlarm...and switching from GPRS to EDGE network while going to work...
Regards,
Primoz
I am wondering if using WM5 will help.
I really hated phone going dead when a call comes,that even won't be a usful phone...

IMHO. I use a constant set of several applications, most of them are from SPB Softwarehouse plus some other. I use mostly for business, have MS exchange account, personal mail, 500+ contacts, use Pocket Excel/Words and my expereince is:
1. WM5 AKU2 Rus orig. shipped (Jun'06) - reboot every 2nd day or once a day, exteremely slow = the worst version in all respects.
2. WM5 AKU3 Rus Test 2.05 (Feb'07) - reboot every 2-3 days, much faster than AKU2 and (!) WM6 WMXL 0.2, but no WPA2 = the fastest version, but...
3. WM6 WMXL 0.2 (Mar'07) - reboot at least once a day or 2 times a day, a bit more convenient than AKU3, but (!) slower than AKU3, and faster than AKU2 = the most interesting, but not so stable as AKU3 one...
I also epxerience freezes during call accept sometime, but not more so often, maybe once in two days. And i have let's say 10 incoming calls/day. That's my experience...
My jasjam has been "live" since i flashed this ROM on Friday arvo (now Tuesday evening). OS and radio rom as per signature. Very few applications installed tho, i only really use the core apps of WM.
I have been experiencing problems with hand-overs whilst in the 3G mode.
This started about 4 weeks ago and affects all Radio ROM's on WM5 and WM6.
What happens is that when moving from one cell area to the next, the signal is lost and the phone disconnects. One has to then force a connection again. This does not happen if the phone is set in the GSM mode.
The problem is network related and well known to Leaf Wireless.
They informed me that a WM5 upgrade would be posted at the end of this week which included the fixed Radio ROM.
They will however not be including this Radio in their WM6 upgrade to be issued at a later stage. ( To protect the sales of the comming Kaiser?)
Is this fair treatment to hand out to their loyal customers?
So your phones that were purchased from January on, will not benefit from the ugraded OEM's and fixes on the WM6 release.
I was planning on upgrading to a Kaiser, but after waiting patiently for a better ROM for sooooo long, and now this news - no chance!!
I expected better for a device costing +/- R8000 ($1,100)
As far as I know, radio firmware do not depend on the OS. You would normaly be able to extract the radio version from the WM5 rom and flash it on your WM6 device.
If they really change the way the OS interact with the radio, it is really screwed; but I am very doubtfull about it
basilrsa, are you currently on WM5 or a cooked WM6 (or maybe the official Asia one)?
I have never really experienced a disconnect problem when switching cells, but more of a "data hanging" issue, ie. it will show it is still connected, but no data is flowing. This has been on WM5 (Pre-AKU3 radio and AKU3 radio). I am currently on 1.48, and it seems much better. I see you are on Vodacom ... they have been having problems with that for a long time now

Thanks for your view, it is appreciated.
Yes, I will be able to extract the Radio from the WM5 release and flash it to my device.
The problem is that many users in SA want their warranty intact. By altering the standard ROM's they void their cover.
The point is how can they provide the new Radio with WM5 and not WM6 which they intend to release, but with a buggy Radio!

Thanks,
See my signature for my current setup (WM6 - Sleuth and Radio1.48)
The problem does exist as a new Radio attached to WM5 will be released at the end of this week.
The post above will explain why I am pi**ed off.
Regards
please post it if you manage to extract it !!!
