Is anyone else having problems with their Qtek 8500, where SMS and/or email messages are received, but with no notification, regardless of selected profile? If you go to "Messaging", the number of messages are correctly displayed adjacent to the appropriate type(s) of message(s).
Classic example for me: the phone is on the table next to me; a little while later, I open the phone to find that I received subsequent SMS and/or email messages but was not alerted to their arrival.
Usually a set of soft reboots in quick succession will restore the alerting.
To make sure this behavior is not related to the various "unsigned" utilities I choose to run, I hard reset the phone back to the original Qtek settings and used the phone for less than a day before the problems started again.
I read somewhere the older STAR100 models (iMate Smartflip, Qtek 8500) had some bug in the deep-sleep mode, and I'm wondering if the bug has not been completely fixed.
reinstall the ROM instead of hard reset
Or flash with official 3.6.261.0 Qtek ROM

Will this work? Is there a chance that this problem occurs due to an installation fault?

Where can I get it? Here in Greece we are still on 3.6.251.0.
Actualy I am using also 3.6.251.0, which I found on expansys (link in the forums). I tried to google 3.6.261.0, but all the results are some russian forums. So I guess that the ROM will be custom, or it'll be a only Russian language (which is not good for me LOL).
Erofich: can you tell us where did you get it, what are the languages in there, and what are the changes? Perhaps could you post also radio versions,...........?
My_Immortal: if you don't want to flash, get app called DontForget - http://magazin.softimage.cz/?page_id=26
Whenever you miss a call/SMS/email/....., after desired amount of time it lets you know that you are missing something (LOL). Well just try it
It is an official 3.6.261.0 russian qtek rom with also english and other european languages and t9:
http://www.myqtek.ru/downloadRom.as....30_QtekRUS_Ship.exe Russia, 26 February 2007
Sounds good, thanks for the link. However I am not able to download it, as it says "Only Brightpoint authorized original products are supported by this site. Contact your place of purchase for ongoing support of your device" (typical, damn).
Do you know what are the changes, or can you post the changes or updates included in this rom?
You can download it from rapidshare
http://rapidshare.com/files/25977944/817887-ruu_star100_3.6.261.0_02.67.30_qtekrus_ship.exe
LOL Thanks a lot, I found a rapidshare link few minutes before you posted the answer.
However, I think that in this ROM are no changes from 251.
See it yourself:
SK_QtekRUS_3.6.261.0_Ship.nbh - size 42*723*985, creation time 19.10.2006, 21:54
SK_QtekEUR_3.6.251.0_Ship.nbh - size 42*723*985, creation time 19.10.2006, 18:21
So I checked the content.. Well there are some differences (995). But I think that there are probably no changes at all. Maybe language files, dunno..
Does anybody know, what are the changes (if there are any) the 3.6.261 ROM?
edit: I checked just 20 lines, and as it seems now, only dates (time) are different in there.. I didn't check more, though.

I have Don't Forget installed. But since there's no notification on the phone,
there's nothing to notify me about, so it doesn't work.
Thanks for the advice though!

Hm, then try to backup your data (ie with Sprite Backup), hard reset your phone, and instal only few apps a day. Then the problem may be easier to locate..
i had the exact same problem. turns out the culprit IS the program called don't forget. i whipped it out of my startup folder and rebooted, and sent myself a text, and my phone buzzed for the first time in weeks. I had it installed to stop the led from blinking. Guess ill have to find some other solution...
Found Possible Solution!
I had this problem (no SMS notification at all) despite all correct settings.
I had made the following registry tweak, and this was the culprit.
Registry Tweak to Hide "Outlook" in Messaging:
Rename the "ActiveSync" folder.
Example,
Before: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\ActiveSync
After: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\xActiveSync
I reverted the above change (i.e. renamed the folder back to ActiveSync), and lo and behold, it fixed the problem.

Hi,
My Atom Exec is usually freeze and then some icon has changed to window icon when I try to installed application/copied file that have big size (> 5 Mb). Alert not found will show, if I taped it.
So I always do soft reset to get normal, but application/files are failed to get installed/copied. I've tried to upgrade my ROM into new ROM. I've downloaded from http://www.seeo2.com but I think it no signficantly changed. freeze is usually happened. again and again.
Does anyone can help me to fix my gadget problem?
What should I've done?
Should I upgrade my ROM to WM6 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352221 or another way to fix it.
regards.
What software u loaded after flashing the new ROM from O2, name them. Looks to me some third party software is the cause of the problem. Hard reset your phone and then only load O2's software and not any third party software. Observe for a day or two and then load the other software one by one each day and u will get the bugger.

You have just joined the forum and this is your first question. AtomExec has been out for a long time. Do you get a used machine or new one.
Yes, AtomExec does freeze quite a bit but not as much as you describe. In fact all WinCE machine freezes once a while even its big brother WinXP.
Make sure you are not suffer from hardware problem first and read this forum very carefully. It will save you a lot of time and money. Because no one in this forum charge you money and give you guarantee for what you did. If that is the only phone that you have, be extra careful.
First do a hard reset of your machine. Install very few and simple things in it. If it still freezes often then you may have a bad phone unless your Mobile 5 ROM was modified by somebody.
software
thanks for suggestions,
This is my new atome exec. After I flush my ROM, I've installed O2 softwares like O2 wallet, O2 plus, O2 and no 3rd party but sometime window icon still show when I'm try to install application which >2Mb of size.
what should I do to fix it?
Sometimes the installation of large progs take little more time, suggest wait and see how much time it take to install and disappearance of Window Icon. Also check that if u install the program in the built in memor is it faster or not. If that is faster then it means ur memory card is of the slow type.

No, I try to install all application into internal memory
ok, since this problem is getting seriously troubling, i decided to open up a new thread for it.
i have tried two different wm5 roms, three different wm6 roms, three different sd cards, four different radio roms, two different ipl and two different spl versions. no luck so far. and this is the story in detail:
EVERY program icon in the pull down start menu referring to prgrams installed to the memory card disappears/turns into a white box after EVERY soft reset. if i then switch off phone fuctionality through the commanager, they SUDDENLY re-appear correctly. when i activate the phone again, they STAY THAT WAY! but after the next soft reset, they are all white again.
the funny thing is that it really only concerns icons with reference to the storage card and ONLY the start menu section, NOT(!) the "recent programs" section. there they remain in tact after soft reset.
so it looks as if this is some problem between the radio and the storage card slot (or drivers) during the boot phase.
has anybody encountered this problem, too? is there any solution? i also contacted o2 customer service which told me they would try to reproduce this issue on their machines, and if they could not confirm it, they would deal with it as technical flaw - hopefully meaning that they would replace my device.
so, any suggestions, mates??
The solutions below work fine in my case. You might like to give it a try if it is a real problem for you.
My earlier solution:
1. run clauncher (you can download it practically everywhere)
2. only activate clauncher (edited: tray launcher) and (optional) type in NO path for any application
3. find and run any software such as SKTools enable to set the order of applications in the StartUp folder
4. set clauncher.lnk(edited: tray launcher) as the first in order
5. soft-reset
Or, try the alternative to solve icon-missing problem
My present solution:
simply using quickmenu in lieu of WM menu (again, it's available everywhere)
Good luck!

isn't it a common issue....,a nuisance ^^?? it happens all over wm2003, wm5, wm6....
actually you don't need to do anything except to "re-click" any item of menu on the setting page to get the icons back, if you decide not to rely on the third party applications.
BTW, if you don't really appreciate Quickmenu, an additional exe, you might like to wait for this >>> http://www.dotfred.net/FdcStartMenu.htm. However, my wild guess is this one might have the very same problem since it doesn't change the order of all the services....

wow! is it really that common?? i haven't noticed that? never ran into this problem before. but good to know. so i won't need to tease my service provider...
LOVE this upgrade to my Athena
couple things I'd like to tweak and searches so far havent helped. I'll use this thread as these items come up
1) Voice Command. It doesnt seem to kick in when pushing my BT earpiece button (like voice dial did). I rely on voice dial, any way to turn off voice command and go back to voice dial?
2) Today screen. Any way to add a big clear battery life indicator. I use my Athena so much that i may go to an external battery pack velcroed to the back. For now, I'd like a big precise batt indicator though.
3) Youtube viewer security cookie error. It finds videos and makes thiumbs, but when I go to play one, the security cookie error appears.
4) Message count icons, would like them to be bigger!
5) When pressing on any SMS message from the list, I get bounced back to the today screen (!) and cant read it. Live messages are fine, just sms do this.
6) Can I add more rows of program Icons on the today screen. two just isnt enough!
7) How do I exit from icontacts (which I think is awesome!) but there is no red x to end it.
8) Favorite Today Contacts - how do I set which number it dials for that contact. Most contacts have more than one number and it doesnt sem to allow me to pick which phone number gets dialed for that contact.
Anyway, the GPS seems to lock WAY faster with this rom and 1.58 radio. have others seen this? Very happy as GPS used to take up to TEN MINS to lock at times which made it kinda useless.
Thanks all

1) I have the opposite problems, I cant shut the dam thing up.
2)there is a cab file called qwertymemory & dcibattery that puts two coloured lines each side the task bar.
3)Don't know, mine does it though
4)try using michy large today plugin cab file
5)Don't know
6)there is a program in the rom called tray icons that does this
7)try the settings in WKtasks
8)don't know
Update - little progess
Okay, I reflashed the rom. No change in SMS closing behavior. The screen shows SMS messages, I can go see the list, but when I tap one to read it get thrown right back to the Today screen.
Also, no change in YouTube, when I try to see a yoityube video it says "failed to get you tube security cookie". I wonder if AT&T blocks it somehow.
I tried the Michy big today screen and it was nice, but too much clock and I wonder if other today screens exist to try, and if so, where are they?
I could not find the "tray icons" program and still need to add a third row of program shortcuts.
Observation: the system=>memory program doesnt show "running programs" anymore. I guess Michy wants to go to task manager for those perhaps?
Update - You Tube fix found
Okay, the rom comes with YouTubePlay v1.0.0.7
the latest one is 1.0.0.11 and that FIXED the issue. In fact the rlease nots shows the fix for that exact error. But funny thing, even though the install of v11 said it would remove the old one, it didnt. Now I have two and one is useless I'd like to remove it but must be part of the rom. Oh well, youtube works *finally* on my device for the first time ever.
Thanks XDA forum !
of course. the 4.1 one is a lot old...it's normal
to michy
Hi Michele,
I was advised here that 4.1 is the most stable. One big issue is that it cannot display SMS messages. The SMS message list shows up but when click a single message to rwead it, the today screen comes right back.
Is this a known issue to you?
Would you suggest a newer ROM even though I need stable as possible?
Thanks for all you do!
Oh question too, what is the difference between 6.1 'diamond' and 6.1 'Full' rom?
thank you!
where can i find a copy of michy's 4.1 rom?
hello there. I tried everywhere to find a copy of the 4.1 ROM by michyprima.. I can't find it anywhere.. all the links seem to be DEAD.. can anyone REUPLOAD it for me? OR send me a working LINK? thank you very much..
Hi,
This is my first time specifically posting a question as a Q&A style thread so I hope I'm doing this right.
I have been using the Redmi Note 2 for about a month now. Overall, it's been a great phone (especially considering the price). However, I've been experiencing a couple of issues and I am hoping that some of you may be able to help.
I have rooted the phone but have not installed a ROM/kernel.
I have been using Wakelock Detector to track my battery life. Of most significance is com.baidu.map.location (NetworkLocation). I have attached the two screenshots showing the frequency of how often it wakes up my device. I tried to greenify it but it wouldn't allow me - it says "Sorry, "NetworkLocation" is ingreenifiable". Does anyone have any idea for me?
I have also been trying to use Amplify as another means to try and improve battery life. As mentioned, my phone is rooted, and the app prompted me to install the Xposed app which I did. However, after installing the app, it wants me to install the framework but it does not allow me to. I have attached the screenshot of this too.
Nova Launcher - Sometimes when I open the app drawer, the resolution of the app launcher appears funny. To fix it, I normally just press back and go back into the app drawer and it goes back to normal. I have attached a screenshot of what this roughly looks like. This is not a big deal but can be a little annoying. Has anyone experienced this?
SD Maid - I used to use this app on my old Galaxy S3 i9305 to clear out storage space taken up by unnecessary stuff. This app no longer works on this phone. I have attached a screenshot of the issue that I am having.
I have downloaded Auto Call Recorder from the app store with the intention of having it automatically record my phone conversations. It does not work but I am unable to figure out why. I have checked the settings and I cannot identify any obvious setting that is incorrectly configured.
Flynx - I have been trying to use Flynx as it appears to be an incredibly useful app, but it seems something is not working correctly. In the screenshot that I have attached, where it says "Tap on the bubble to open it!" I am assuming there is a bubble that is supposed to appear for me to tap, but it does not appear.
APUS Launcher/Clean Master - finally and maybe most worryingly, I sometimes get 2 or 3 apps "pushed" to my device prompting me to install it. I can only remember 2 at the moment; APUS Launcher and Clean Master. Fortunately, I am asked to give the app permission for installation but it worries me because it has occurred a few times and I did not download it at all. I do not have a screenshot of this at the moment, but I will do it next time it occurs.
I have been told that my provider (Vaya in Australia) sends out a SMS for "automatic update" purposes. I only spotted this because I have noticed that I was charged for 2 separate international SMS on 2 occasions when I did not send them (to a UK number, +44 7786209730). I am not sure whether this one is a phone problem or something else.
I appreciate any of your assistance in advance and I am sorry if I have not provided enough information. I am also not sure as to which issues may simply be app problems as opposed to a problem with MIUI software or Xiaomi.
Hope I will be able to get some assistance!

Does the crash happen when the dialog opens, or when you click the orange entry?
Try giving your sdcard a name, possibly doing it from a desktop computer.
Hi, the crash happens when I click on "Overview" then click on "To start press [refresh icon]" and then you just press there - what normally happens is it will give a overall summary of the phone.
However, I have just tried it again. When that error message comes up, instead of tapping on the listed entry (as is instructed), I press "Done" and it is able to give me a summary!
So for some reason it appears as though it doesn't work (at least from the error message), and I just press done and it still works.
Thanks for your reply nevertheless! Would not have figured that out had you not replied hahaha.
If you just press "done", SD Maid won't have access to your external sdcard.
Did you try installing the Xiaomi EU rom, since it's supposed to be cleaned from chinese apps (Like the baidu one).
Hi all,
Sorry it seems like I never came back to expand what I have done to try and fix these problems.
I ended up changing to Hermes ROM here http://www.smiui.net/redminote2_hermes.php
Most of the issues above are now solved, but there are some that are still present such as #2 and #5. So Amplify still doesn't work, but I think this is a hardware limitation and Auto Call Recorder still doesn't work. As for why Auto Call Recorder doesn't work, I don't know why, but I am not greatly bothered by it so I have not attempted to do anything to resolve that problem.
