Since a week my s100 freezes on the weirdest moments, like when i want to make a call, it freezes, when i want to open a message it freezes, when i'm in the menu, it freezes.
Now I tried three different upgrades, but the problem keeps coming back :?.. Is there a way to format the whole hard disk and reinstal everything (just like my pc :roll: )
I called with Qtek Netherlands, but they told me this problem is not on the guarantee because i could have used the wrong upgrades.. And its not very cheap to let them make my mda so maybe someone could help me with this so I dont have to send the phone to Qtek for repair, and save a lot of money :wink: :?:

I had the same trouble in my S110 after making bigstorage ROM. I tried different methods to cteate it, but it didn't help. My S110 frose for about 15-30 sec. in different cases, most reciently in different settings and menus. The only way I've found to solve this problem was to upgrade device with native qtek s110 rom.
Are you installing programs after updating the ROM? In that case, you most likely are running some bad software.
After a hard reset/ROM update, try running your device for a few days without installing new programs.
No, i don't install programs. But yesterday i discovered when i dont insert my sim-card, the s100 is working much better, but it still freezes al the time. Like when I insert my simcard it takes about 1 minute before it freezes, when i dont use my simcard, the s100 is faster, but it still freezes after about 5 minutes. But the freezing dont stop until I do a soft reset .. Is there a solution ?
Sounds to me like you have a hardware problem. Reinstall the original ROM and take it in for service.
My xda 2 mini
almost the same problem with my xda ii mini but i noticed a thing my phone works perfectly allright when on an external power supply but as soon as it runs on battery and the battery level drops to about 90 % it keeps on freezing...does this imply that there is a battery problem or something else?... :roll: :?
Well, I have the same problem, here's some helpful info if anyone can track this error:
It freezes from time to time, the screen is still clear, but I cant use it in any way so I have to soft reset.
I do Not use any screenlock apps

Please help us solve this one!!
I don't think 16MB of free program memory is very much...
Whenever I am experiencing any inconsistancy with my PDA, Smartphone or whatever, a hard reset is always one of my first moves. That way I have a rather good chance of finding out, if I have a soft- or hardware problem.
As I said, hard reset and run it for a few days without installing any third party software, then you will know.
Guess I'll have to try that option then, but I was hoping for another solution that didnt include just running with the default programs
So you think that it might be too little memory free? What about if I apply the big storage "tweak" then (it looks like a pain in the arse to do it though) and then allocate more memory to Programs?

Well I took my mini to the local o2 repair center they at first told me a mere software upgrade will solve this thing so I was kind of delighted. But then they called me up and told me its a circuit problem and the circuit needs to be replaced and it will cost me 70%of the phones price. My phone was under warranty still I didnt want to mess around with the circuit thing so I took it to my dealer with a friend of mine created a scene and he had to change it for me.... now my new o2 doesnt have this problem at all....

I'm not getting why they first wanted to charge you, given it is under warranty??
Bastards! :lol:
I'll give Brightpoint a ring today and see what they have to say. And I agree, it should be under warranty.
Yes it was under warranty but my imei no was missing from there records and they were not ready to acknowledge my bill as I didnt buy it from an authorised o2 dealer....
@montana
Doing the big storage tweak won't give you more RAM to run your programs. Instead it gives you more space on /Storage to store your programs, which is an entirely different thing. RAM is what we want, and can't get enough of.
Only way to get more RAM is to make sure you install as many programs as possible on either the internal /Storage (yes, the 'Big Storage' thing) or on your /Storage Card, ie SD Card. If that isn't enough for you, try checking this forum for info on how to stop the Extended ROM from installing after a hard reset, and how to manually install only the parts of it you need.
@sankalp16
Great to hear! Well, as long as you have an official invoice, I don't think it matters where you got it from. Congratulations!
Just a quick Update:
I talked to BP and they finally decided to get me a new one, took a while and a lot of persuation though....
Anyways, a few days before I was supposed to change it, I think I uninstalled QOTD--Qoute of Today and it suddenly ran like a kitten again, Im not sure it was this app that caused it so I still got the new one :lol:

Ever tried to work without an sd-card inserted? I've read several times that bad sd-cards can cause freezes...
Has anyone else tried this?
I wanted to remove the Vodafone customisations from my 750v so I tried the following: a hard reset (reset with power button on > 'yes' to delete all data); as soon as the power and screen comes back immediately remove the battery to interrupt the setup process.
The result? No VF splashscreen and 60MB (was around 48MB previously) of storage memory in addition to the program memory. The 750v seems faster. However, a manual setup of the data connection is required as is a registry edit to change the 121 voicemail button to my providers voicemail number.
I'm sure there are other changes too. I've still to test this properly over the next few days including a trip to a 3G area.
Excuse me if this has been covered elsewhere - I've looked but not seen anything similar.
It is funny, I have just recently heard people mentioning Vodaphone customizations like the splash screen. However, the only customization that I have on my 750v is the Vodaphone Business.tsk.
Yeah, i have a vodaphone and no stuff from them besides the business theme.... which i'm fine that way. That's odd, cuz i've got 66.31MB total storage memory

Does it now include MSN?
>Does it now include MSN?
No it doesn't
The only customization on my Treo 750v is the Email Setup link and the horrible gray theme. I have never seen such a lightly customized phone from a carrier, let along Vodafone. Even Vodafone device I have seen or owned has been branded to the point of instability.
If it wasn't for the Vodafone logo on the phone, you could swear you bought an unbranded device.
Same here guys,
After installing the latest Vodafone UK WM6 ROM, the only customisation I have is the Business theme, other than that, I couldn't find anything else to do with Vodafone which I found odd but believe me I'm not complaining.
Cheers.
German Vodafone - is it the same ?
Is the above mentioned for UK/ireland VOdafone branded Treo, or German as well ? i.e. will the ROM and update to WM 6 work if it is EN version?
thx
Good day all - this is my first posting on this site and I am not overly technical, but..
I have an Orange SPVM1500, which I understand is a HTC and its model name is a PH10D (according to XDA-Wiki - this does not exist!).
Problems are:
1) Battery power - backup battery showing 100%, but when I remove the main battery to change SIM, everything dumped. How do I change the backup battery? (I removed 4 screws on the plate, but plate seems to be held elsewhere).
2) I would like to dump the Orange front end and release more memory for SKYPE, Tom Tom and using the phone without being dumped out of the call. This I believe requires a flash ROM update, but I do not know which to use (as highlighted above)
3) How do I get rid of the camera app. I tried re-assigning the annoying little button on the side to have no action, but this reverts every time the phone resets. Any ideas? I don't use the camera anyway.
Until I get these sorted, I'm having to use my Nokia 6630!

Thanks for that. I figured it was an Alpine, but wasn't sure. Any idea about the other point? (Battery?)

Hello all,
A simple question.
How can one tell what kind of a unit he has, is it WWE or is it ASIA or maybe another, I have bought my unit 2nd hand and since then had problems with the softwares and radio roms.
I have used WWE rom, and I just can not get all my contacts in, I have used ASIA and for a few days all was working fine, till something happens I reset the unit and either data is lost or the radio has no signal etc.
Another question, is it possible to stop the Automatic Customization after a hard reset???
Your help would be much appreciated.
WWE or Asia depends on installed ROM. Type can be Polaris 100 or Polaris 200, AFAIK, and is visible during hard reset.
What ROM are you using now? Looks like trouble with ROM or bad device.
Customization can be stopped, if I remember correctly, but you should check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355277&highlight=Polaris+tips+tricks
Hi,
Many thanks.
For the moment I am using a cooked rom Khanx 1.6 Pro.
I was really fed up with the Original Rom as I said it was fine for a few days, working smoothly, even backups by SPB were fine, and suddenly one day the unit froze and I had to reset after the rest nothing worked, all data lost.
Even after Hardreseting I was having problems with 'VDDemon' each time, only after re-installing the rom for a few times I was able to go back to working with it.
I mainly use the unit for telephone (ofcourse), mail, notes and sms.
By the way when I enter bootloader, I can see POLA100 MFG, and the SPL-2.20.Olinex, CPLD-2.
And what I meant about the Automatic ..., when you hard reset the unit you get a windows saying that in 3 seconds and automatic instal is beginning, how can one stop this instal????????
So really I am not even having fun with it at all.
OK, Pola 100 is here too, but SPL is original HTC.
Could you try device for few days with "bare" ROM, meaning no other software installed? Maybe it's software incompatibility.
For stoping customization check thread I mentioned, think it's described there. But I might be wrong, it could be some another thread. In any case, I remember reading about it here and a way how it can be stopped.
My Polaris is stable as stable Windows device can be...

Thanks Caramba,
It's as good as your prvious release, My_rose_wm6.1.
Maybe even better
Caramba you are the best. i have tried the your Previous version on Palm 500v it is excellent, today i will try your new version and update it, thanks

Just wait a bit longer, Caramba is busy cooking a wm6.5.3
If it is just as stable as the current 6.5 I'll go for it.
Thanks a lot for this one! I like this more over your 6.5.3, because it has more features like the weather panel and the better audio player.
Still I have one question. Im using Palringo as IM, which puts a notification Icon in the taskbar. Is there any way to enable this icon also in the taskbar of the homescreen? So you can see when you got new messages right from the homescreen. Would be of course even cooler if it would be possible to include it in the notification panel on the home screen, but i think thats not possible..
Thanks for this one
chillar
I've never used Palringo, and unfortunately I can not help.
thank you! My setup is wonderful to use. There are no what happened. a better version
Hello Caramba.
I appreciate your hard work on this one. I been looking for a solution for my phone for a long time!
I have a problem flashing this rom. When i turn on the device with the bootloader, it does not autoflash.
It shows the PALM logo and in text on top it says:
EBOOT7 Ver:V4.0.0 ExtROM:ESN
My phone is a palm treo 500v from vodafone spain, and its locked, as it comes with the carrier ROM.
I already formatted the 4Gb microSD card and copy the ABI file into it.
Is there any step or application that im missing?
Thanks again for your awesome work.
Ale.

OK. Reading a bit further in another thread, i found another guy with the same problem. The result was that my microSD card was too big for the bootload to run the ABI file (?). Anyway, i bought a smaller 1Gb microSD card and worked fine!!! It started to load the new ROM right away. It was worth it (10€)
BTW thanx again to caramba for the ROM. Now i have a neat UI, and i assume the phone is unlocked! Havent tried with another carrier yet.
Thank you.
Hello all.
I tried the phone with a different (movistar) sim card. it wont work. the phone is still blocked. cant believe it!
The phone shows: the sim card has been blocked from the target network.
is this normal? i mean, i have changed the rom using the caramba .abi file and the phone is still blocked. I already tried the 6.5.2 and 6.5.3.
I was assuming that changing the rom, it should be unlocked.
what else can i do to unlock it?
Thanks in advance.
This ROM has some important issues: 1. Menus like *100# simply does't work. 2. Sim contacts are not displayed even thought are selected. It only appear in SIM manager. I'm also a HTC Snap owner and i know how things should work.
Spanish Keyboard
Hello,
I am Spanish and I do not mind using the software in English, my question is, can you put the Spanish keyboard language in regional settings.
sorry for my English
Well, good job, it seems that 6.5 is somewhat faster than 6.1, however, the reason for which I have updated is because of the USB charger issue (the phone charges only when powered off) and my ISP connection. These problems persist in this version too. USB charging worked flawlessly with its Vodafone ROM, same with the Internet. Is there a fix for this?
At least can you provide a link or point to some direction where I can find what I'm looking for?
LE: I can confirm also that SIM contacts do not show in this version.
Net connections seems to work now, that leaves the sim contacts and usb charging issues.
Word Completion
Hi,
I flashed my Treo 500 with this rom as the 6.1 really didn't work on it.
USB charging does work with a cable from my laptop, but yes charging direct from a socket will only charge when the phone is off.
The biggest thing for me though is that I've got word completion on all the time as I type and I hate using it. There aren't as many options in the settings as normal and I can't find a way to turn it off.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Craig
