BT freeze problem after update - G4

Hello,
I have an xda prophet for quite some time now, with wm5.
I updated to wm6 and radio rom to the latest one.
After that I had problems with the connection to GPS module. I can see the module, I set paired device, set com port everithing's work fine, I recieve GPS data for a period of time (1min-10min), after that I loose conection.
I get an error that "com6 is stuck in a system call". Tried com7 same thing.
When this happens, I can not turn off bluetooth, whatever I set, led blinks like is on, status remains on, but it is not working.
After reset work's again. Sometime I get also "bluetooth hardware error" (if I keep insisting setting bluetooth after freeze) or "unrecoverable GPS error".
I tried these days changing radio rom to: Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.61.21
and WM6.5, same thing happens.
Anyone had such experiences ? is related to rom updates or is a hardware mallfunction?
thanx,
Nemo

Well i would say try another ROM 6.0 or 6.1 as 6.5 is a beta platform and has many bugs
The good thing with 6.0 or 6.1 is that you can troll through the threads checking for a all working stable build
If the above don't work you could try flashing the nvid ROM this will downgrade back to original wm5 but also put everything back to original working order if not a Hardware issue

Thank you for the reply, I thought to try this and also to downgrade back to wm5. Meanwhile I searched this forum alot, and it seems I found a fix.
I edited the registry:
HKLM\Services\OBEX
(Change the "Keep" setting to "0")
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Obex
(Change "IsEnabled" to "1")
In my case the first entry was set to "1" by default, I changed it to "0"
The problem seems to be gone, I hope I'm not saying that too early, but yesterday I had GPS connected for a long period several times without freeze.
Thank you again, great comunity, great forum, loaded with valuable info.
PS. Admins, if you think this thread is useles please delete. Although I searched the forum alot before I posted, I did not found such problems. The fix I found was on a thread also BT related, but different problem.

So yes, I was too early. Problem still present. I will start downgrading later to see what I can fix. Any other ideeas ?

Trion keeps Crashing/Freezing = Missing Calls & Overslee

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

having problem when trying to enble Wifi and Bluetooth after upgrading to WM 6

I believe most people face this problem. I hv no solution to it, but I personally believe this is not a hardware prob and it can be solved. Hope to start this thread so everyone can discuss this together and come up with something.
got this from other thread...
bull_do3er said:
put registry editor shortcut in \windows\startup
put wififix.reg in \Program Files
all this does is set the HTCPreloadwifi=1 everytime i need to reset my device. i think the problem is the value was resetted to 0 everytime you reset your device. That's why the wifi doesnt work. not sure if this works for everyone. but for me its working nearly everytime.

is this a good idea?
Pehaps it is useful to give some more specific details. Indeed there are several users that run in to these problems, but many more (including myself) never experienced any misbehaviour whatsoever. There must be a difference somewhere.....
i faced the prob which when u set the HTCPreloadwifi to 1, it revert back to 0 after soft reset. then i found that this is actually bcoz of the file "WiFiInit", which is in the startup. so i removed it from the startup, set the HTCPreloadwifi to 1, then power off and on it instead of soft reset (soft reset might work, just play safe.)

rondol1, will you stay here in this thread. who knows, we might spot the difference between your "working" device and our "half-working" device. appreciate that.
The point is, I never changed anything after flashing the ROM and WIFI works right away. I have noticed that with WEP encryption enabled things don't go that smooth. Without security OR with WPA enabled, I don't experience any problems with WIFI. About Bluetooth, I really don't use it, only to connect my TomTom GPS receiver and that give no problem whatsoever. But that comparison isn't fair, cos the TomTom app takes care of it by itself, without the general WM6 settings.
Perhaps it's good to mention that I use the latest WM6 builds, I red your post in some threads from older ROM's too. Could be that those earlier release had more bugs on this point.
i'm using Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b4....actually wanna to load up other new wm6, but instead of avoiding, i think we shd try to solve the problem..
anyway, i am thinking about whether there is anything wrong with the registry that caused the prob, or any 3rd party software that is interrupting the bluetooth's functioning. is there any way to "compare" the registries?
I don't know, but I hardly use any 3d-party software. And about solving the probs on early WM6 builds: isn't that a Microsoft job? If there is a problem in the OS, we don't gonna solve it by changing some regs!

haha...ya...but i meant a cooked version of wm6. the developer might hv added something which works on his but not on others. any assumption hv to take into consideration. i guess that is how most probs are solved.
seems like no one patronize this thread...ahah , anyway i will still try to update what i've discovered until the next version of rom is up. who knows, people might be desperate and found this thread. i just hope someone will join in the discussion or i will look like a bloody fool who participates in my own thread.
right now, i insert btdwake and btlauncher to my startup folder. it works most of the time (not sure it works bcoz of the files that i put in the startup folder).
i still think that it might be a registry problem. will compare the registry with a working set's one of these days.
I've got also a problem when trying to enble Wifi, what you've done exactly? Does it works?

hi Gaexu. well...it is easy to make things work, but problem lies on the steps that make them work. enabling my wifi is fine, but not perfect.
I suppose your prob is when u go to comm manager, click on the "Wlan", then u see the radar (loading), after that, nothing happened, the icon still show the grey icon with the cross.
steps:
1.)first you gotta remove a file called "WiFiInit" from \windows\startup\ folder.
2.)next, go to the registry using PHM Registry Editor. go to HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms, there are 2 reg dwords - "HTCPreloadStatus" and 'HTCPreloadWifi". change their value to "1".
3.)power off the device and on it back.
the reason to remove "WiFiInit" from startup is bcoz it seems to cause "HTCPreloadStatus" value to revert back to "0" after a soft reset. actually i've remove a few more things from startup, but i dun think there is any "linkage".
sorry about this, but don't expect the wifi to be enabled as easy before upgrading (at least not for me). to enable the wifi for the first time (after you soft reset everytime), go to comm manager, click on WLAN. then the radar thingy comes out, rotate a few round and disappear. while it is rotating, observe the "G" on top, it changes to the wifi icon and revert back to the "G". that means wifi is detected. click on WLAN again, and same thing will happen. now, push the on/off button to black out the screen(standby mode) and turn on again. wifi comes alive.
i am too long winded. this is my first time in my life typing more than 6 lines in a forum. do let me know if it doesn't work. good luck.
Thanks for your help
The Wifi works, but just for about 30seconds or 1minute... then it turns off
does anyone know this problem?
I will try it again and again,
thanks

hv u change the value in the registry?
Yes, "HTCPreloadStatus" and 'HTCPreloadWifi" have the decimal value 1.
HTCResumeWifi = 0
I will retry it with another network (not the one from my University) maybe it works...
Gaexu, so how's your bluetooth? working perfectly?
i looked through the registry and found that many of the bluetooth keys are incomplete after comparing with other devices...but i need to extract more info from a workin prophet...
Hi scarymoviesg
Now my Wifi works perfekt (not with the one from the University but with all the others)
Thanks a lot!!!!!

Mogul Freeze/Lockup

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!!!!!!

Fix of TomTom 7 auto-power off problem with latest builds...

I had some problems with some of the latest (>20000) builds of Prophet roms when using together with TOMTOM 7.450 and an external bluetooth GPS antenna. It happened that, while running TomTom7 WITHOUT connecting my Prophet to a power source (i.e. my car's cigarette lighter plug) after 2-3 minutes the PDA auto-powered off. You can imagine the stress...
TomTom programmers managed to bypass the power management in order to prevent this annoying (and also very dangerous while driving) feature.
Unfortunately seems that latest builds' power management settings are completely ineffective at least with TomTom7. You can set the battery power management to NEVER OFF but it still will go down after a couple of minutes when running TOMTOM. All the latest roms that I've tried seem to be affected by this bug...
But maybe I've found a solution...
Use your favourite Registry Editor and check this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\DisableGwesPowerOff
In my case it was set to 0.
I've changed it to 1 and voilà!!!
Seems that now everything works correctly:
1) TomTom Anti-AutoPowerOff is OK
2) OS's Battery power settings are OK
Hope I helped everyone who faced this annoying problem and I also kindly ask all the cookers to check this registry setting before releasing a new one.

Bodhi3 many thanks for your information, I was having this problem and the only way that I found to solve it was to increase the sound in periods of time.
I will try it soon.

It must depend on the build i am playing with a ROM build 21015 and this reg key doesn't exist but it uses Gwes i will look into this on my version thanks
curious did this work for anyone?
i tried it and no luck on build 7.915.9196
am starting to think its my ROM if more people are not having ths problem. i'll report back after i flash.
after trying everything possible and nothing working having blammed problems on bug in TomTom, it seems the problem was the ROM.
so i flashed a different ROM and can confirm TomTom is working fine and stays on regardless of power settings in OS

Wi-Fi wont start

Hi guys, I have the following problem with a tg01.
The Wi-Fi don`t want to turn on at all. When I try to start it, I got that loading wheel for a few seconds, then it is gone and the Wi-Fi is not turned on. Is it look like a hardware issue and can I confirm that it is a hardware failure? The phone belong to a friend of mine. At first it was running some French version of WM, dont know which one exactly. He says at this point everything was working fine. Then some "gsm guru" hold the phone for a month trying to flash it with WWE version and he got it back with WWE WM 6.1 but the Wi-FI and the GPS was not working. I took the phone trying to help. I flash it with ROM_TG01_29017_Shell_WWE - WM6.5
The OS is working nice and smooth, the GPS is back and working fine, but the Wi-Fi is still gone... so any sugestions how can I 100% confirm that it is a hardware issue?
Thanks in advance.
