Hi All
Whilst browsing this site I decided to do some experimenting with my XDA and can't get it to work properly. Can someone give me some guidance.
I was trying to get all of the o2 goop off so I basically insalled WM2k5 of buzzdev.net and it stopped working, no phone, no camera, no contacts, calendar etc. I hadn't backed up either.
So I installed wm2k3se off buzzdev and everything was working except my camera. When I do a hard reset it starts up and then as its insalling the applications it gives an error saying it can't install application as it is meant for a previous version of windows and then the whole thing freezes. I do a soft reset and it starts up as normal.
I haven't spotted any other things wrong yet but i'm sure there is.
Can anyone help me get the camera back and decent WM?
hi there

Hi guys
I've been facing since I bought my HTC Athena irregular freeze everyday.
I upgraded the Device to WM6 the next day I received it, it went very soomth with my applications installed.
However, the freeze appear very randomly, it could be while launching a new program, or playing backgammon, sometimes after device wake up, also once when received an SMS.
A very weird behavior also, is that sometimes I need to soft-reset 3/4 times in a row to get passed the HTC and the Windows Mobile splash screen.
For info, the soft-reset is not necessarly done after a freeze ....
I decided to start this new topic in order to see if other people are facing same symptoms on their Athena, and to share our experience together.
Cheers
Hope you run Oli's SPL Unlocker/patcher...

Sorry no such problems here, but did you run Olipro's SPL patcher/Unlocker before flashing thee ROM? I know tupsindin released a few WM6 ROMs a while ago that could be flashed without CID unlocking your X7500, but Olipro's Unlocker will make your device unbrickable.
If you have already done this, try flashing the new WM6 Dopod U1000 ROM seems very stable to me with no issues so far and slightly snappier than the other WM6 ROMs.
Thks mackaby for your reply
I did unlock it via the UK website I found on XDA forum, sorry but can't remember the name (soemthing IMEI), so I did that then flashed with the WM6 ROM ver 2.20.405.1
Im doing some more testing
what is really annoying is that I need to do 4/5 soft reset very ofently in order to pass by the HTC/Windows Mobile splash screen
I just bought my HTC Advantage X7500 with WM6 already installed and I have lock up issues if I have auto shutoff enabled it will not start backup after a auto shut off I keep using the reset to get it back up. When it is up I just disabled the auto shut off and now have no problems.
Im not having same pb as you, but I saw on one thread on XDA forums that people having that problem fixed it by assigning a the turn on/off device to a hardware button. and apparently it fixed their problem.
Try that and it must fix it for you

Hi,
I have encountered in the past this problem, and I observed that it was happening after I installed HTC X-Button v1.5, and it was even worse after HTC X-Button v1.51.
Later on, a new version was published, and it works flawlessly since. The exact file is HTC X-Button v1.51 build 30229.
Hope you have same issue. Good luck,
Zohar
Thks zoharbl for you reply
I don't have HTC x-button
For now, I found an alternative with Running Pocket Hack Master at 663 Mhz, and I modified the sequence for startup processes using SKTools putting Pocket Hack Master as #1 in the order, Wisbar Advance 3 as #2, SPB Diary as the last one and Norton Antivirus just before the last one.
I noticed that SPB Diary is slowing down a bit my device, and specially after a reset, this is because I created custom tab adding plugins inside this tab such Phone Alarm, SPB Weather and Resco Explorer Plugin ...
I tried many config, and found out this one works the best for me, the device is resetting with less then 30 sec without any hanging anymore.

Really interesting comment. I have original WM5 configured UK Ameo and have always experienced random crashes. After reading this, I looked again at my settings and found the X-button configured - I don't need it as I use the same functionality from Wisbar. Turned it off and it hasn't crashed since.

Hi there BigDede
Don't know if this will help...
Even since before I have upgraded to WM6 I have had problems similar to yours. At the time I had WA3 and WAD installed as well as Spb Weather, Spb Diary and certain parts of Pocketplus. I did a trail and removed all software from Spb and Wisbar and everything worked perfectly. In the meantime I have now only added Spb Mobile Suite and use iLauncher on my today screen together with the plugin from Resco Explorer - no more problems!
It seems to me that some of the above software have compatibilty issues with the U1000/Athena/Ameo (whether wm2005 or wm6 makes a difference I don't know).
Cheers
Thks Superdawie for your reply, you are right, I was suspecting Wisbar, SPB Diary abd phoneAlarm to be the origin of my problems.
But as I said previously, I found a workaround to make the Athena runs ok by playing with the order of startup programs. It's been more then one week without any freeze

Same for me, working well on WM6 since I turned X-Button 1.51 off.
In WM5 I had this problem all the time as WM5 totally sucks!
In WM6 I only experienced this problem when programs "collided" due to timing issues as you've found out. By changing the load order or timing of some applications (some programs have it built right in like SmallMenu....it's resolved all of my lock up issues, etc. Most of the problems can be resolved by playing around with the software you have loaded, as you found out. Not sure if it's because of a crappy OS or because of crappy coding by the developers of the software we're installing...maybe both.
Hi
I am having issues with WLM each time i sign in i get a connectivty error, then try and sign in again it signs in but all my contacts are offline, someone can message me and talk to me if they talk first but i can't start any convos as my messenger says everyone is offline, (on my desktop it isn't the case)
Has anyone else had any issues with WLM or any ideas how to get it to work correcly?
Have already done a hard reset and it is still the same.
I had the same issue... never did solve it, although i didn't try very hard.
Since upgrading to the Athena Project Black Touch Edition WM6 Rom, WLM works perfectly.
You could try installing the version here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302152
Yes after upgrading to the Athena Project Black ROM by PK, it does work better but it still sucks. Microsoft has a lot of work to do on this IM program. Has way too many communication problems and is very inconsistent. I also noticed issues with the desktop version.
Hi,
I am having massive problems sync'ing my new Athena. I have Michy's 6.1 installed and after a hardreset, sync is possible on the first PC. When I try to sync with the next one (I use a home PC and my laptop), sync will fail and I get an error.
I am using Vista on both PC's and I searched the internet: seems to be a frequent issue. Last night I hard-resetted my Athena twice. It will fix it, but only on the first one or two sync's, then the errors are back.
I did run PSTscan.exe in the Office folder and I did delete the existing partnerships.
I tried Windows Mobile Device Center v6.0 and v6.1.
Can it be that hard for Microsoft to get their act together?
Does anyone have a suggestion that doesn't come with the usual hardreset?
Thanks,
vma
Spent the night around this and did the thing I didn't want to do... yet another hardreset.
Sync is working now and I believe the problem comes when one starts sync'ing with more than two PC's and eventually if one starts to give different names to the device.
The problem are the *.vol files in the root of the Athena, which you can't delete and somehow get messed up.
Better than a hardreset would be a way to delete those files, but I haven't found a way, as they are locked. I even tried to kill all running processes, but without any luck.
Cheers,
vma
Hey guys,
I have the problem, that Facebook-Places is not working. Maybe someone can help me to solve it:
I loaded the XDAFacebook 4.5 and updatet it to 4.5.1, because it's said that it's the only app which works with Facebook-Places. And it's a quite nice App for Facebook.
Like Deu5Vult wrote I installed the Bing-App again, and reinstalled XDAFacebook. (I have to say that I like the Bing-App very much, cause it's much faster than GoogleMaps - it locates me, an eg finds Cafes nearby).
But when I now go back to XDAFacebook --> Places --> Checkin it tries to locate my GPS data for about 5 seconds and then the windows is still empty.
I'm using the HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 professional (5.2.21913), ROM 3.14.407.2 GER.
Has anybody some suggestions what I could do, to get Facebook-Places working?
