Good morning to all of you from snowy Germany,
I'd like to introduce myself as former user of a MDA I who upgraded to MDA II in November.
Like many of you I lived through all (officially) published ROM upgrades offered by T-Mobile. Now, after having upgraded the MDA II to 1.6, I finally ask myself one question:
Do you think (as a member of XDA developers), that there is one single person on manufacturers side who is actually testing wether these ROM upgrades work and if yes, to which extend?
Here is my experience with 1.6 ROM:
First I changed my today screen to Windows Standard, but decided to like the T-Mobile screen better in the end. After reactivating T-Mobile screen the dropdown menu appears with white letters on white background. Only fix: cold reset :-(
Worst bit: any calendar or tasks notification is displayed with the known blinking red LED, but no matter what you do the LED goes on blinking forever (even if event is confirmed or deleted). No matter wether preset blinking time is unlimited or 15 minutes, the only way to stop it is again a: reset. If you are using your calendar notifications frequently for business, you end up resetting your device up to 10 times or more every day :-(
Again I have noticed that there are too many applications simultaniously launched and some of them are REALLY useless. Top ranking in wasting resources is CALLER ID. This program is causing so many problems that one have to wonder why there is no option to delete it from the operating system.
I'd like to know what your experiences are with MDA II (or similar) and I would higly appreciate any suggestions how to solve the mentioned bugs.
Beside these bugs, the MDA II is a very nice device with high engineering and build quality.
With kind regards
Joe
I have also the german t-mobile MDA2, i upgraded to t-mobile NL and 2 days later upgraded back to the new t-moble rom release, so everything is back to german, and I have none of your problems as stated above. I suggest you re-load the rom again, my MDA2 is proving itself a very steady work-made, even battery life is good, get a good days work from it,
However to be sure , i orderd an extra battary (just in case)
IA Caller ID
You can delete IA Caller ID, as well as some other programms you do not need from the Extended ROM and it will never bother you again. You have to know that after deletion you will have to do Hard Reset.
Also you can delete FlashMans from the Start Up folder - you will see how faster it will be (requires Soft Reset).
And go to http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html - this will clean duplicate proccesses on your MDA II.
For sure all of this you have to do on your own risk, but there are a lot of instructions how to do that.
Contact me if you need a help with it.
Flashmans... actually I don't know what they do. Any harm removing them from Startup?
:shock:
Flashman
I believe that the flashman processes are related to the 'Permanent Save' feature. If you do not use this, you can remove them from the startup folder.
I have removed (or rather moved) the following entries:
AFlashMan
BTIcon
CFlashMan
IA_Caller_ID
NFlashMan
Orange Support
stk
TFlashMan
This gives me the ability to have Activesync + 3-4 apps running in parallel.

Hi everyone,
I would like to kick start a thread for any application installed in the latest SE rom by mystery man. The rom seem stable nevertheless some apps seem do not really prepared for the changes. (i mean from WM2003 to WM2003SE). Let begins........
1) Battery Pack Pro v1.11-will make your today screen screwed up. How? Go Start-Settings-Today-Items-then click OK and closed it-you will get what i meant here.
Will continue to report.......
Best Rgds... :lol:
Wisbar advance freezes and requires soft reset after telephone has been used/or whilst attempting to dial.
XCPU Skalar - you have to update to version 3.85, lower version keeps system to hang
Tillanosoft Pockettweak - update to 4.2.7, lower version destroys font settings
PocketZenPhone - update to latest beta 11 version, older versions are not able to switch phone on again
Can someone tell me what is the function of "Today timeout" which constantly showed 4hrs at Start-Setings-Today?
Well why must that function included in the today settings? The problem is now and then my today screen showed nothing or clean even though i unchecked the Today timeout box to disable it.
After all i suspect something is not right wif the Today timeout option and nothing to do wif Battery Pack.
Anyone experience the above problem? :roll:
Calligrapher 7.4 (just only 7.4 ,older not has this problem)
after i install and use for 15 sec. ,then screen is locked up cannot tap anymore but Button still work.
I do soft reset and disable it then 15 sec ,screen lock again.
Only one way to solve it by using cradle sync with desktop and select remove calligrapher and then soft reset ,it will work normally again.
It may from defect in version 7.4 or conflict with XDA II.
PLease take care ,if you decide to use this version
Problems with SE (both dcs's & mysteryman)
Hey there guys!
I used this weekend (in fact starting friday evening) to upgrade my T-Mobile MDA2 from ROM 1.72 (radio 1.14) to ROM 2.xx and radio 1.18.
Although I did a lot of reflashing up to now - I want to thank you all guys for this forum, because everything I've learnt about my PPC is from here. It is shame that I cannot contribute via paypal because Bulgaria is not included in their country list.
Now.. Here is what I've experienced with my mda:
I upgraded from 1.72 T-Mobile WWE to 2.02ti... All cool - until I started to load the device with programs. I mean - it is cool and fast and nice and colorful..
A guy mentioned that SE boots faster - I can's say that - the phone would show the first boot picture, then fast will change to 2nd and then (in 2 to 5 seconds) the bluetooth led will flash (if at all) at least 5 times and then it shows the today screen or will stay there forever :-(
I understood that:
* xscallar 2.8x would not work - it freezes the system;
* sbp pocketplus 2.1 would hang the system or/and the today screen;
* sprite backup 3.0 hard-resets the system (3 in 2 times after finishing scheduled/normal backup);
* gprs monitor 2.12 would hang the today screen;
* cleartype is a way worse than in 1.60wwe
* if the system works, compared to 1.72 - it is flying! but :-(....
These problems appeared both in 2.02ti and in 2.06, no matter what extended rom I install (if I install any at all - because thru tears I tried that one too ;-) )
The (X) sign for closing programs disappears constantly and some programs could not be closed or [ok]'d :-(
Bluetooth 1.5x would either not work properly or would not work at all.
about the extended rom - i noticed this:
MMS15024_WWE_Hima_OzUp.sa.CAB, despite the lower version compared to MMS2.0.0.13 incorporates in the outlook folder and doesn't take additional space in the today screen. Also it provides sending restrictions as 100K, 200K, MAX - ;-) which is kewl 'cause I missed the ability of my SonyEricsson P900 to send unlimited in size MMS messages.
CallerIDB10, provided with 2.x SE versions cuts about 4 pixels from the bottom of the CLIP pictures and I don't like it - it has no new features or anything
For conclusion:
I liked the look of SE versions - it is really neat and fast - when it works.
But non of my really needed sofware would work as expected.
I went back to T-Mobile 1.72 (edsub's version) and I will tell you guys - there is nothing as stable and fast as it is.
This is my first post here, and I read this forum for more than 8 months. You guys rock!
Yours,
Dean

I had a big problem with 2.06-mystery man . Stuck on the every second
boot . So I had to do Hard Reset all the time.
After that I switched to 2.02 and all I can say its the most stable ROM
I know from 1.60 .
The reason I am posting here is :
NO PROBLEM WITH Battery Pack Pro v1.11 on the ROM 2.02.t1WWE .

I've notices that 2.06 sometimes freeses during boot when SD-card is inserted. It boots normally when SD-card is out and inserted when device finishes booting.
Cleartype in 2.06 can be tuned to look fine with cleartype tuning tool from Microsoft. I can upload it if needed.
Probably
Probably , probably , probably
Spb PocletPlus 2.1 is stable in my 2.06SE. The problem i encountered is the unstable widcomm bluetooth stack ( 1.5.0.801 ) which always "could not correctly initialized - BTTrayCE.exe) . can some one post some registry tweak for this?
@ mamaich
can you post the MS cleartype tuning tool please? thanks! :lol:
Phone Profiles is another one....
Using Phone Profiles 7.5 or 8.0, there is a dialog on reboot, 'Can't Find Window", (something like that), and it will not continue booting, only solution is a hard reset...
I can confirm the Calligrapher 7.4... will lock during boot, hard reset

Mine is working fairly well... I did notice the same problem you have, but I got around it by holding in the reset button until it reset itself (normally 5 secs or so). It resets fine every time. This is a pain compared to 1.66.00WWE. I haven't tried 1.72 yet. I would like to persist with the 2.06 version to see what bugs it has.
Recrem...
UPDATE:- Installing XCPUScalar Version 2.85 has completely cleared up the reset hang problem. I have configured it to auto start on soft reset, and minnimise on start. I have now reset well over 10 times and it resets as it should. I have XCPUScalar set to a min speed of 400MHz though...
I have only one problem with wm2003se 2.06 - at every call speaker mode turns on automaticly

4. Still have to use EzWAP for MMS
5. Camera switch screen back to Portrait.
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
Hello,
I have annoying problem:
When I turn on screen automatically opens Manila Home-Tab.
But I need to return to previous running application, instead of opening home-tab.
I did some tests:
If I turn off HTC Sense, then everything works OK and when I turn on my screen I return to the previous app. So I guess it's some kind of Manila problem. Maybe settings or registry tweaks?
Please, help I don't know where to ask this. I have searched lots of forums but couldn't find any solution.
My phone is: HTC HD2
Manila version: 2.5.2018
ROM: AxLor DF2 WWE
Moved to HD2 General as not a cooking question.
Hello guys i need your help.
I used my phone for i while HTC HD2 and suddenly after i goed from Android 3.5 to Windows mobile 6.5 touch wont work.
All keys working display working perfectly no crashes on screen but touch wont work ? ?
Anybody can help me my dad will kill me . Please help ?
Assume the very common digitizer issue, try pressing screen near edges around end button & see if get some screen response.
Also try a hard reset or original wm6.5 inc spl & radio to help eliminate software glitch .
