Hey
I'm hoping someone out there will be able to help me solve this problem or I may be saying goodbye to my Trion sooner than I would like.
So here's the problem:
While I am sleeping my trion keeps LockingUp!
This has happened a few times and each has been quite costly, either I oversleep and am late for important appoitments or I miss a number of very important phone calls.
I have tried using differnt ROMS but the problem persists. It happened to me a couple times while using the new I-mate rom so I switched to the new Dopod ROM and it happened again! I'm going to try the TYTN rom now... ugh!
Info Regarding my current setup:
Dopod ROM: 1.23.707.4
Programs:
MSN Messenger
MSN PPC 2003
TCPMP
Cyberon
Aidem MP3
Fit4cat Hermes v1.0
Fit4cat Settings changed from default:
Enable wireless plugin + show pluggin = ON
Remove Wireless Manager Icon = ON
Mount Ext. ROM = ON
Improve A2DP "High" = ON
- and that's all I've enabled. A weird thing I notice with the wireless pluggin is that at times on the Today screen it will just show my bluetooth status and neglect to show the WIFI status; at times the BT icon is right aligned as if the WIFI was still there but invisible and at other times the BT icon is left aligned indicating the WIFI icon is not even there.
That's about it for now. Any help resolving the main FREEZING/CRASHING issue would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank You!
I have had the same problem. Hard reset and ran software freefor a few days, and same problem. Flashed to imate, and same problem. Flashed back to original HTC, and problem gone. I don't know what it was/is, but I feel your pain. We have almost no software in common, so whatever it is I think the problem is within the ROM itself or common Ext_Rom files. I never ran without Ext_ROM may start there.
this problem I had for about 3 weeks, I am currently using the new dopod rom and I have had no problems at all. It is a software problem issue and as roms develop issues will go I would flash either the new HTC rom or dopod rom as I had no problem with either of them I installed the dopod as it is quicker for me.
the same to me with imate rom, and some time when i press the center/enter button it show the sound volume panel
must go to Tytn rom tonight
the camera icon is there, but nothing happens when i press it, any suggestions please
Phone?
Original Rom?
New Rom?
You sure don't give folks much to go on.

You try remapping the buttons?
Settings > Buttons
Often after a ROM upgrade, button mapping will be f'd up, try that.
after tinkering with it for a bit, i got the program to load but i come up with an error, 36001:100:3 failed to initialize video output device, suggestions?

I have seen comments about not being able to use the camera in one of the posts relating to the latest Schaps beta release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318589 (take a look) is this the ROM you are using?
In any case I'd suggest that you post this question in the area related to the WM6 ROM that you have changed to then you will most likely be able to get comments from others that have the same ROM (and most likely the very same issue). Such camera issues (hardware fault aside) are most likely to be caused by either the ROM or third party software.
thanks for the reply, im using the black majik rom
Me too
I've got the same problem after flashing to Black Satin (from Shadow) and radio 1.48. (T-Mob UK MDA Vario II)
Have since tried:
Black Satin Medium
Schaps 3.30c
Black Shadow
Radio 1.43
but still no camera The camera button is set to 'Pics and Video' (changing it to 'Camera' doesn't help) and starting camera from Programs just does literally nothing.
I'm checking the Schaps thread again - seems like other have a similar problem which is a little reassuring! Will report back if I get anywhere...
Just seems worrying that flashing back to old ROMs doesn't fix it.
Any other ideas welcome!

I just encountered the same problem on Schaps current 3.57a ROM on my HTC Hermes. Whatever I try, the camera won't start up. Help would be appreciated...
www.SCHNEISING.de,
I've also tried schaps 3.57a after my last post and still no good. I wouldn't worry if the camera was just broken in one ROM, but the fact that I can't get it back in any ROM is very worrying
Can you try running the flashlight app in that ROM? (Programs->Accessories) That does nothing either, for me...

camera doesnt work after rom flash - solution?
Possible solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384854
Simply take out battery for at least 15 minutes.
i had that problem when there was a shorted capacitor on my front camera board, removing the dead component solved my problem, but it was getting hot at the front.
Please can you post some photos or schemes?
I had a camera failure on my Hermes too ( I'm sure I posted about it on here somewhere but I can't find it now). The battery was also draining quickly (<7 hours). After much messing about with reflashes etc, I cracked the device open, removed the rear camera module and noticed green oxidisation on the contact. Cleaned this up with contact cleaner, reassembled and the problem was solved!
Referred to the Hermes Service Manual for dissassembly info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340426

No One had met this problem with camera!! my photocamera doesn'work yet.
Can Someone help me?
Seems too common of a problem. I have an 8525 that lost the camera ability when I upgraded to the factory Hermes CINGULAR 6.0 ROM. I tried coolcamera, nuthin. Tried to upload Camera 4.0_28276 and it worked! Once Tried it again 15-20 min's later, stopped working. I'd hit the camera icon, and get a white screen, and the windows logo would start to spin, then it would go back to the home screen. Messed around some more and got a certificate error.
I changed my rom yesterday to V8Beta2 by JossKoss. I love the ROM, but still no Camera. I tried CoolCamera and Camera 4.0_28276, camera shortcut icon does nothing when pressed. In the Windows folder, camera.exe does nothing, camera.exe.0409 states there is no application associated with it.

Tried to find "camera support", not on my phone. The above quote was from the thread regarding my ROM.
I will not give up. Anyone with more idea's to try?
Got it working
This morning I took my phone off the charger and removed the battery as soon as I got up. 45-50 min's later I put the battery back in, and the camera worked! Drove to work, tried it again and the camera is still working. Hopefully stay's working. I'd hate to have to remove the battery for that long any time I want to use it.

nothing also by leaving the battery off . I try a lot of rom but nothing. where can i try original sw with wm5
I am currently using PDAViet 40005 Cross and am finding that occasionally after a soft reset, and always after Sprite Backup has gone through a backup, that my backlight is off and will not come back on until I find my way, with some difficulty in the dark, to settings/backlight where I find the slider is on 0. I drag it to the right and the backlight comes on. From then on it is fine, until the next backup, or reset, or occasionally the next time I press the power button to switch the device off.
It first happened with the Gullum TNT V4 ROM, and now with PDAViet 40005. I am wondering if it has anything to do with PocketEvolution's ScreenLock because that is a common factor and is an app I install last of all. I have removed this app, but am still getting the backlight problems.
My PDA is a Qtek S200. If I am going to need to revert permanently to WM5, is there a ROM available online?
Any advice welcomed. I have rectangular eyes with the number of ROMs I have installed over the past few days. Note I have always followed instructions, including downgrading to the recommended WM5 ROM in between.
If I could map the brightness slider to a hard button it would be useful - if there is no other solution.

did u install SPB Pocket Plus? if yes the problem is because of it !
the best WM5 ROM is Aserg AKU3.13 search it to find !
No, I have installed PocketMax Phone Alarm, PocketEvolution ScreenLock, Innesoft Cash Organiser, eWallet, SPB Backup and the battery status app that seems to crop up everywhere.
I suppose the answer is to reflash, install each app one at a time to see when the problem occurs.
Thanks for your reply, ebaskar.
I went through the time-consuming procedure of re-flashing, adding an application, checking the backlight, adding another and so on. I still couldn't pinpoint the cause of the problem - all seemed to go well, then suddenly the backlight went off and wouldn't come back on until I found my way to the backlight settings and puller the slider over again.
I decided after flashing with goodness knows how many ROMS that I am going back to WM5. I downloaded and installed Aserg AKU3.13 and after several hours all seems well. It even looks like WM6.
The only problem I have now is one I have always had - the default entry method. I'll post a thread about that in the main Prophet forum.
did you find a solution to this problem?

Well I found out what caused it. I bought a new HTC Touch and was very disappointed to find I had the same problem. It was PocketMax PhoneAlarm. As soon as that app was installed on WM6 I had the backlight problem. Even uninstalling it did not resolve the issue - I had to do a full reset and reinstall everything apart from PhoneAlarm.
It then tried PocketZen, a free alternative to PhoneAlarm. The same thing also happened with this app.
It appears that any utility which messes with backlight settings will cause the problem on WM6 - I have no idea whether it affects all phones, but it certainly affected my Qtek S200 when flashed with several different WM6 ROMS and my HTC Touch with an official out-of-the-box WM6 ROM.
I've been trying various versions of dcd's mods hoping to remedy a problem with my mogul. It seems that my unit locks-up/freezes when all of the following are true:
1. Bluetooth is on
2. Phone is locked
3. Goes into sleep mode
When i try to awake phone; none of the buttons work; simply black screen and needs a soft reset. This does not happen all the time, just enough to be annoying.
Any thoughts? Is this a radio 1.47 problem??
Thanks guys.
bump. i have the same problem with DCD 1.6.8 Rom. i thought it was codyppc battery/performance hack so I uninstalled that(still happened), then i thought it was s2u2 so i uninstalled that( still happened today).... so any ideas?
can we verify whether this happens on dcd_titan_1.6.10 rom with NO software, tweaks, etc etc installed? it does not happen for me (i have been using BT lately) but that doesnt mean it wont happen for you guys.
Are you by anychance using S2U2 with the Power Off setting?
I was having this problem, and since I've set S2U2 not to Power off the phone, I have not had this problem. Being going well over 24 hours now.
Mine also freezes/locks up from time to time. I'll make the changes in S2U and see what happens.
Sorry for the newb question, but what is S2U?
got it; slide to unlock.
Is this app worthwhile?
I'm running 2.17 ROM and I get this error, although I'm NOT running S2U2
I have got the same problem. I just flashed to custel 1.1 6mb pagepool (awesome rom for alltel users) had no time to install anything extra paired bt locked phone about 10 mins later tried to make call and it was froze. i did however find out if you constantly use the bt it dont freeze (I finaylly installed ms voice command and if i constantly ask for date or time it stays unfroze.).
edit: I just upgraded to radio v2.13 ( ftp://xda:[email protected]/Titan/Radio_Roms/titan_2.13_CDMA.rar ) totally cured bt reception problem on both ends but once again same problem phone freezes. helppppp!!!!!!
I just thought that amidst all the abusing by various people, and asking and begging etc, the people who actually have the rom should post their findings on it so far. Maybe say what os u used to flash, and then any problems you have had with it.
I used XP SP2 32 bit, and these are the bugs ive found:
1)I have this weird thing with the battery where even after being on 80% at night, then charging overnight, both pocketplus4 and resco today say its on 95%. The light is also green before i pull the charger out.
2)I had a problem with wisbar not showing the full start menu, in that some parts only had icons and no text, but a reinstall fixed this.
3)Opera also doesnt load my homepage properly. I have set it to the athena mobile 6 forum, and whenever i load it, it goes to www.htc.com. But when i click settings, it userdefined is selected and its the right URL.
4)Theres no top line on the tabs at the bottom in settings just the lines between "personal" "system" and "connections", ill post a screen shot if needed...
5)finally, audio sometimes doesnt resume when i pause a video and resume it.. but the video does..
Im not trying to complain here, just thought it would be good for the team to ahve somewhere to look to see the bugs people have, and maybe you can try and iron them out for the full release. that is why there was a prerelease after all.
Fianlly, please REFRAIN FROM POSTING unless you have the rom.
If your device has been "bricked" by the prerelease spl, please post in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385148 not here.
Solutions to bugs:
The battery bug: no soultion yet
Opera Homepage bug: instead of going to a page, then settings and clicking use current page, copy the url, and click user defined and paste the link there
The settings tabs graphic problem: Solved by a hard reset. a hard reset may also solve all graphics problems
The audio not resuming problem: disable wow hd [ people said this, i tried it, didnt work for me]
Thanks to the team for all their hard work!
Rory
3) Opera homepage was wierd for me in not working initially when I set it but ok now.
Think what I did different was to set it in "User Defined"
Its not obvious but you can finger scroll the opera settings pages down to show more options
4) Line is ok for me, running RealVGA 96dpi
5) try turning off WOW HD Settings
AP4 works great for me. Other than a few missing icons I have zero problems. The battery (new) shows 100% when fully charged.
Agile Messenger
http://www.agilemobile.com/
is an example of several applications that appear to install fine, but when you try and run them, don't start. Maybe a WM6.1 problem rather than AP4.0 ?
I REALLY do not like Agile anymore. First, they charge. Second they send your password as plaintext! How stupid is that???
And yes I do have the 95-96% battery bug.
Flashed using XPSP2 - followed the PDF exactly by updating radio to 1.57 first and then installing enableRAPI.cab before starting the update process. Have flashed before so did not need to install the drivers from boot loader mode, they were already there.
1: Task Manager icon missing at 96dpi
2: logmein seems to be an issue with WM6.1
3: camera album hangs when opening a video, needing a soft reset
4: WMP will not open in Portrait orientation in 96dpi.
5: The comm manager is still only filling a quarter of the screen in 96dpi mode.
6: Device hangs when trying to open BT SAP settings in 96dpi.
I know some people have mentioned issues with the USB to PC storage mode, but i have not tried this yet, but will report back when i do.
gonna keep testing to see what i can find and update this as i find them.
EDIT:
Fixed no. 4. - Whenever i tried to open WMP in 96dpi portrait it simply crashed and closed again. fixed in the following steps.
set real VGA back to 192 and reboot device
open WMP in portrait.
Got to menu/options and select the skins tab.
Wait for the skin to appear (this will take several seconds)
Once it has appeared on the screen, tap OK and then close WMP.
reset VGA to 96dpi and you're good to go.
This was exactly the same way i used on the WMP bug in AP2/3.
USB to PC storage actually worked VERY well for me Saved me from having to download WM5torage.
I haven't had any of thoose problems. I flashed it via xp and just clicked on the athena wrapper. my thoughts so far is that its a nice rom some annoying problems I had were the screen oriention changing when ever I soft reset. soultion was to copy the toggle to windows\startup and reset and it won't change by itself. as for opera I hated the 9.5 so I uninstalled and installed 8.65 I cant get tomtom to install on this rom. but was able to run route 66. had problems with palringo(im client) and it upgrades itself. I installed schaps configurator and maxed at all the settings. runs super fast now! questions I have for the team is why do they recommend upgrading to 1.57 radio? im using 1.38 with out any problems. another is does the new home screen require net frame 3.0 to run? or why include it in the rom. if im wrong correct me but isn't it a beta?
overall good jobs guys
tomtom 6.03 installed and running fine for me.
Only odd thing is that as you drive screen keeps swapping between landscape and portrait, so just used the icon to disable auto rotate.
What about a option for no bugs?
another thing i just noticed is that the device runs much qiucker using the netcf 2 rather than the 3 thats installed on it. another thing i noticed is that if your sending a message using the attached keyboard when your typing the sender it wont pre guess it. but if i use the sip it works fine
still existing the problem with the watch, as for AP 3. The phone each time you reset moves the zone to GMT +2
I don't understand the brick advice. It is a regular update of rom.
There too much programs no needed, still waiting for a vainilla version.
Now i see what you mean by the battery bug. I had not noticed it previously.
If i charge the device to 100%, showing in the settings menu, DCI battery bar, and also green light, as soon as i unplug the device, it drops to 96% almost immediately. I can actually watch the battery bar clicking down each percent over around 15 seconds!!
Windows media player not opening in portrait at 96dpi has been solved, simply go back to 192 and open WMP in portrait. Got to menu/options and select the skins tab.
Wait for the skin to appear (this will take several seconds)
Once it has appeared on the screen, tap ok and then close WMP.
reset VGA to 96dpi and you're good to go.

Several bugs
I have installed AP4 according to the manual and it went like clockwork.
After four days of havy use I have noticed some problems:
1. On sunday and monday I had several problems with the microdrive. Several times the drive vanished in Resco Explorer or there were strange files, or complete directories were read only. Everytime a softreset solved it. I decided to flash my device again and now everything works fine.
2. I use TomTom very often. Installing works fine but with the latest versions 6.032 build 8351 and build 8355 I have problems. It happens very often when I am navigating and I change te route, that when TomTom is recalculating, the program gives a error saying that because of an error it can not calculate the route. Only a softreset solves the problem. Tomorrow I will test the wm2003 version 6.03 on AP4 to find out if WM6.1 is the problem.
3. Today I had several problems with the radio version 1.57. It was already installed when I used AP3. After entering my pin the device connected to the intenet but there was no trafic possible. A softreset solved it. But this happened several times today while driving on the road. I also noticed a problem I had in the past with my universal. While I had te problem I disabled the phone, but the connection stayed. There was also trafic. Very strange.
4. Another thing that bothers me is TouchFlo itself. Sometimes it makes it impossible to select text. Within TomTom the screen does not respond as it did in AP3. You have to press hard and for a longer time before TomTom noticed that you pushed the screen. The same TomTom has no problem on my HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris).
5. I used F-Secure for months now but now it will not install. I had to install compact framework 2 first.
6. I noticed another thing this aftenoon. When I was in TomTom te diable call button will minimize TomTom and you cannot see it anymore with WkTASK. First I thought it hd crashed but after starting it again I noticed that the program was running in the background.
7. This evening I was browsing with RSS hub and Opera. I was hitting a link and on te page was a flashvideo. After Opera had started the page was loaded but just before it was finished Opera shutdown completely.
8. I want to end this review with saying that I also have the probem with the battery indicator not showing the 100% energie level, the htc album freezing my device, iGO8 not wanting to start, Opera not wanting to start mediaplayer after hitting an mms link. Internet Explorer does, and several websites use a specific fonts which result in a webpage with very large text. E.g. http://mobiel.nu.nl/pda which normaly shows small fonts. I have no probem with it on AP3.
Beside all these problems I like the rom. Route66 workeds perfectly on AP4 so I can live with the TomTom problem. A few weeks ago my plus account ended and I did not renew it yet.
QAN
OK, battery bug seems to be getting worse, charges fully and light goes green, all battery meters read 93%, even when still plugged in!
I am also experiencing problems with the internet as detailed by Qan. It works fine for a while and then it stops and i have to soft reset. Am going to flash back to 1.50 radio as i never had a problem with that - although i am a bit worried about flashing a radio on the pre-release as it does not have the locked SPL that would be in the final release, but i suppose if i use an updater that only contains the radio, it shouldn't be a problem (famous last words!!).
I have noticed that my touch screen seems to be much less sensitive. This I am guessing is down to touchflo waiting to see if you are going to scroll and therefore it is not picking up the quick taps. Annoying, and possibly the one thing that will send me back to AP3 dual. The touch itself bugged the hell out of me for being so unresponsive on the touch screen, but the touch dual was much better. This seems to be at the level of the original touch and not sure it is something i can live with.
This is not to detract for the rest of the ROM. It is superb, and the current bugs are minor, and no doubt the guys and gals of the AP team will fix them all in no time. I just am not a big fan of touchflo and would rather it was not there. but hey, we all have our own personal tastes.
I am unhappy with the autorotation of the screen (you can imagine while you are driving).
The device is times no responding because maybe touchflo way of work.
I don't see special speed or capacity improvement from ap 3 and times speed is lower than generic 6.1
Bluetooth disconnect more often, but not sure if it is because I moved radio 1.53
The other point I see is that there are too much stuff programs for me. I use other ones and the problem is memory...
still waiting a vainilla version, if it is possible.
I would like to be a technician in order to understand the memory improvement this rom has meaning, may I ask somebody to explain please?
