Hello all,
I changed my OS to 2005, but most of my programs and/or peripherals (WiFi card) would not work; some weird stuff was going on, and the PDA was not working the way it used to...
So, I returned to 2003SE. The problem is that my camera does not work anymore. No icon/program, etc. :shock:
Don't know if my original OS was basic 2003 and not 2003SE... Has anyone ever experienced such a problem? I would like to revert to my original OS, so anyone know where I can get this?
(either 2003 or 2003SE)
I'm a computer technician, but fiddling with PDA Phones is new to me. (feel like a prat!).
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Canuck

hi guys
thanks downloaded active sync 3.7 all sync ok
one other problem
xda seems to just switch off and only way to switch on is to soft reset.
any ideas
any software for formatting sd card for xda.

Please refer to my forum "Avoiding ppc 2003 bugs" and please also confirm whether you have quite the same experience
Dear,
I later on found out that the screen blackouts are not really attributable to using windows 98 version in your pc. Rather, I have experienced several other blackouts (and the only one way to swith it back is to soft reset) right after I made activesync and/or software installation using windows xp pc version. Previously, I had to hardreset the unit to make it all working properly again. Now, I found out that we can softreset the unit after the screenoff and when the screen is reactivated, try uninstall the previous software(s) you just installed before the screenoffs occurred. This helps revitalize the on/off button w/o need to soft reset. Hope this also works for you.
BTW, if you happen to have found out what really causes it and/or have fought your way out of it, please let me know, thanks in advance

Hi. I currently have a Uk O2 xda2 on version 1.72.181. wm2003
I would like to upgrade my device to the best & latest version suited for it.
Whilst experienced with computers in general, the whole area of rom's extended rom's, cooked rom's and radio stacks is new to me.
Can someone make a recommendation as to which rom I need, where I can find it, and exactly how to go about the upgrade. Also I would be very grateful I you could tell me what tools I will need.
Also is it possible to install wm2005?
upgrading
hey ryanxda2,
most people are having this upgrading problem!
but i have windows mobile 2005 and it is a great rom no matter what people say.
if you want to cheak things out the topic that started this wm2005 search is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18584&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
but if you want wm2005 and the latest leaked version of activesync 4.0 i have an upload site: http://www.freewebs.com/doglover7337/wm2005.rar
the file is commpressed in a rar format and you will need "winrar" a great commpression program for free http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
inorder to install wm2005 on to your ppc you need to sync your ppc with your computer and then run the file called:"HimaUpgradeUt.exe"
this program should autodetect your device and upgrade its rom. after the rom upgrade you need to hard reste your device, that is a little diffrent in wm2005:
you need to hold down power+camera+record buttons and press the reset button then let go, a menu should pop up, then go down to the last one and select yes (this can be done using the camera and the record buttons) after that press the scroll button hard and it should reset your device but before you connect your ppc to your computer you need to install activesync 4.0 because it has the driver for the new wm2005, after thats all done you should be set to explore all of the new rom and activesync!
There are some things I have to tell you about first:
this rom is in its alpha stage, but it is the most stable rom in alpha stage i have seen
also i have to tell you that sms ans mms are not there but you can still receive them, we are working on getting the mms and sms functions in the new rom
I recomend that you atleast try this new rom, if you don't like it you can always go back to you old one or 2003se, who knows you might love it and stay with this new rom (i did)
good luck and have fun!
hello,
I have a TSM500 (is the Telefonica name of the HTC, XDAII...)
Do you think that everything it is working now it will work:
TTN 3.07 (with a serial port connected TTN GPS device)
Phone (Movistar provide in Spain the mobile-phone operation)
SMS (I'm not using MMS...)
Microsoft OutLook (Sync with PC and Exchage Server under a VPN)
I have spent a lot of hours configuring and make it all work together and I have read wm2005 is slower and unstable...
Destroyer you have recomended to install it... For me, the only reason is to use in better conditions the BT stack (now, after upgrading ROM, EXT-ROM adn RADIO I got a non usable BT situation, that force me a hard reset and re-install all the programs again to become at the start point situation.
Do I get this improved BT functonallity: BT-Phone and system Audio, BT-Sync, BT-Ethernet access?
Thankyou
Best WM2003SE upgrade for UK 02 xda II
Thanks for that, I appreciate the response, and will download wm2005, i'll try wm2005 once I get a non essential unit to try it on. In the meantime, I'll be looking for advice & instructions on the best wm2003 se upgrade for my unit, what I need to consider etc etc.
Does anyone one have any suggestions on this?
I tried installing wm2003se yesterday. It wasn't too painful, and the UI looked a bit nicer, but there were two problems which I faced. Fisrstly, phone calls would default to the speaker phone whenever you made or answered them. Secondly, when putting it on standby, you couldn't wake the device from standby. A soft reset was required to get the device usable again.
I followed this thread here (gave up after reading about 20 pages of it). But it appears that I wasn't the only one who had those problems. I don't think they got as far as a solution either.

Thanks Timmeh, I'll have alook at that thread now.
Just so that I've got it straight what version of each part should I be looking to install,and can I obtain them all in that thread?
I had tried an upgrade about 2 months ago which went onto my device ok, but some auto script in config file, kept popping up a dialog box, which I couldn't close, so I couldn't move to other functions!
Thx
When I tryed the upgrade, I didnt change the extended ROM, so when it went through installing everything, it all came up with "This program may not display properly...", which isn't a problem in itself. The problem comes from not being able to press the button to close the dialog, but you can press on the nav key, which works a treat. (The reason for this is in the config.txt file in the extended ROM, which tells the phone what order to run things, such as installing cab's, after a hard reset. A file called TPdisable.exe is run before installing everying else, which disables the touch pad.)
There are 2 options when upgrading from that link in the forum. One was posted by DC, and all you have to do is unzip it and run the upgrade exec (while ya phone is in the cradle). The other was posted by a mistery person, which is an exe installer.
DC's does not include an extended ROM (all the other apps that get installed with windows, like camera drivers), so using that will just use your existing exteneded ROM. The mistery mans file does have an extended rom included, however, I didnt use it, so I don't know if it's any good.
IMO, I would go with the mystery mans installer. His/hers is a slightly newer build of WM2003SE, and the extended ROM should work.
Before you do that though, it's worth getting hold of the existing ROM for your phone, so you can go back if you decide that you don't like it (as I did). You can download that from here, assuming that you have an XDA II and are on o2 uk, which your details would seem to suggest.
If you do it, let us know how it works out. I wouldn't mind maybe trying again, but as soon as I finish my dissertation, and have time to make a proper effort at my own custom extended ROM.
Thanks Timmeh, I'll give that a try now. I'll let you know how I get on
My WiFi is not working when I turn it on. When I turn it on, it just do nothing. I tried to run WLAN Module Test to check the problem using Self Diagnostics, sometimes it can detect the MAC address, means OK, but sometimes it shows error saying "GetAdapterInfo() return FALSE....".
For your info, I already reflash the updated ROM (0426), but it seems not working. Now, I'm using ATOM EXEC ROM (0721).
Can someone please help me before I send my ATOM to repair center?
You sure this isn't after an ActiveSync session? My device often needs a soft reset after a session.
Yeahhh... I'm very very very sure about this! Eventhough I didn't use Activesync, the same problem still happened.
I tried to downgrade the ROM, the WiFi still not working!
I have the same problem as idzilhafis.
Tried to run Self Diagnostic and got the same two answers, sometimes the module is correctly detected and somtimes not.
When the module is detected during the test, also the Access Point name is detected (I have a wifi AP at home), but the connection doesn't work.
When I use Wireless Manager, the module is not alwais detected and sometimes also the wifi button disappears.
Of course I flashed and re-flashed the firmware, using the original manufacturer's latest ROM and the "not for sale" version. Nothing changes.
May be an hardware failure?
I think, I can answer myself.
Yesterday in the evening I did put the Atom in the fridge for a while, because i noticed that using the pda and then increasing its temperature, the module was never recognized.
Using the pda after an hour of fridge (I did put it in a little bag), the wifi module works like a charm. It is ok until it's temperature raise again, then the module hangs.
Such a behaviour is typical of an hardware fault.
I think that this kind of problem is surely not due to a wrong use, and should be covered by warranty. But I don't know where to send it for service (I'm in Italy).
Any idea?
I had tremendous problems with my O2 Atom WIFI which would not connect to my laptop WIFI LAN Network. I asked O2 Technical People & Lot of people on this and other forum but got no perfect response.
Practically trying many options I by chance put back the old ROM upgrade of O2 2006123-45 and tried switching on the WIFI and lo and behold it worked fine.
Then I reload the new ROM 20060426 again and it works fine.
This proves that if you reload the NEW Upgrade ROM more than once it locks the WIFI.
No, it proves that any ROM upgrade can result in strange things, and reflashing either the same ROM or another ROM can fix it. It's well known with stuff like battery use (some users have had their standby time doubled by just reflashing the same ROM).
I sent to o2 expert and he don't know what to do. Tried to change registry, still not working. Tried to reflash, stillnot working. I think hardware problem. Don't worry, I still got warranty!
Hi All, I'm a newbie.
Pls shows me where can I download this oldrom O2 Atom 2006123 (-45)?
Or Who can give it to me through email: [email protected] ?
Help me pls, tks a lot
Hi everybody:
I installed the udk syrius 7 rom Polaris, when activate my camera
it doesn`t show imagen, it`s black andy show the news
text:
Unable to capture photo. Unable to get frame data from
camera device.
Can you help me??
Thanks a lot ¡¡¡¡
Same here!
Same here!
I tried several roms and I still have the same issue.
Tried downgrading the radio, didn´t work either...
Could it be the SPL?
I have had the same problem. I have resolved with a new one flash of ROM
SPL is OK !
Just go back to a original rom (incl radio) and after that try again.
If that doesn't work just try a other radio rom.
Most of the roms have different radio requirements
Some need 1.58****
Other need 1.59****
Normaly the rom maker gives that info.
Sometimes the camera malfunctioning is a software issue.
As i experienced it is a hardware issue when you still have the troubles when you go back to original rom and radio rom. Although there are tons of users which get the camera to work after installing some package etc, my defect was loose connections on PCB/CPU or something similar. Thats why the problem starts slow, sometimes it works, somethings it doesn't and in the end it doesn't work at all.
The only thing you can do then... is return it for warranty.
Hi guys... try to search and google for an answer to my problems but cant find the solutions..

Any ideas
Will it be a hardware issue?? Pls help!!
no one know?
HTC service Center advised the following :
1. Take out sim card and storage card to eliminate the error tht maybe caused by this 2 items... i've done it... and restart... walaaa... like a charm it works...
But on fine fine day i install cab file... then the old problem again haunted my hd2...
tried the above methods.. this its no longer worked..
Fed-up, i just let it be like that... then on one fine day.. I install another cab file... CHT and CHT Editor to be exact... walaaa... the old problem eliminated.. hv install/uninstall few cab file after tht (analog clock cab file).. so far everything still ok..
I would like to refresh this topic.
It started to happen to me like month ago from no special reason. I use SD Android build, so with every restart to go back to WM, time/date changes from couple minutes to couple weeks to both directions.
Hard reset did not help. Another ROM flashed did not help.
It seems to occur only when rebooting Android -> WM. WM -> WM reset direction mostly OK. Battery-out almost always changes time/date.
Just a thought: Is there any kind of "CMOS battery" like in PC motherboards, that can be weak/broken in the HD2?
Any advice appreciated
Thanks

I've got the same problem using Omega rom v30. It's solved easily enough by using sptimesync to get the exact time. What's your rom? I'm gonna flash and see if anything changes
My ROM is:
WM- HD2O
Android - MccM HD V6
This is also happening to me. It's happened before and it somehow corrected itself, but it's really annoying me at the moment. Any ideas as to the cause? Running WM6.5 ROM, stock 3.14. Not running android at all.
