Tester needed - Pandora ROM

I'm testing different page pools on my rom, basically my "Naked" with this being the only change.
I'm most interested in:
Storage / Program numbers after a hard reset and a couple power cycles...
General feel for operation - does the phone work?
Do the applications work?
Just a summary - I just want to be sure the pagepool is getting set properly.
Please IM me and I'll send the link....

hey
decided to post here as your more likely to see it!
been using the pandora 1.05 for a week and a bit and reboot times are really long.were talking up to and over a minute.
I downloaded your latest release thinking it was my customisations tht were causing it to slow down as such,bt its still taking long to boot.it tends to hang at the green splash sreen.
although,earlier today,I received a txt message whilst it was booting.wht I mean is,the phone vibrated but was still on the green boot screen.
wondering if you could help?
thanx.

I'm not sure if I had asked you before, but have you tried flashing an empty extended ROM, or reloading your carriers ROM before flashing a Pandora?
I ask that, becuase I haven't gotten (or experienced) this issue myself. I've heard of this issue causing long bootups, but not seen it personally.
I just flashed a "naked" with an 8 meg pagepool, and it took about 20 seconds.

BIG PROBLEM!! with T-MobileSDA II(US)

I've bought lightly used T-MobileSDA II(US) -HTC Tornado!! It haven't any tracks of taking apart under the cover!! But when I take away battery even for a few seconds my time and date are missed to date of making the phone.....maybe someone knows what to do with my phone??? I think trouble in backup battery!! but what happened with it?

I'm not sure about the SDA, but the Cingular 2125 with WM5 did the same thing and I think that's normal behavior. If you flash up to a WM6 or WM61 that problem goes away as the date and time are set from the carrier.

... not for me! I had this issue with standard WM5 ROM. I then upgraded my ROM to WM6.1, but if I remove the battery, the time and date are still reset to original ROM date. So, no change from original ROM as far as resetting time and date is concerned.
I wouldn't call it a problem though. Sync your phone with your PC and within seconds, the time and date are set to the present, so it's no big issue... just a bit annoying!

I'm thinking your phone doesn't have a backup battery.
I know mine doesn't.
I don't think it has anything to do with the OS.

Thats a known problem with Tornado's. When new, the backup battery keeps time for a few minutes after you remove battery, after some short period of time(in my case about 2 months) it stops doing that. However, its not a dead backup battery. Run Celetask, go to TOOLS... POWER STATUS... and notice that Backup Battery status is HIGH, 255% 0mV.
My personal conclusion is... WM6 on Nitro's ROM has some script that tracks and saves "last known time". When you remove battery and power up again, it reads and displays that "last known time". Notice that if you leave it w/o battery for a 10 minutes, time will be 10min off. However, if you enable the "Automatic Time Zone" under the time settings, it will sync time with service provider(if they have that feature).
Not sure if other 6.0Roms do that to, its why I'm asuming its a tweek or script by Nitro.
Now, going back to that Power Status... Shouldn't HIGH be 100%? 255% would be over charged? 0 mV = 0 power? lol Ok, someone pull out the backup battery and messure voltage on it ) I'm not responsible!

yeah! celeTask show that. if i wouldnt sell my Tornado ill try to upgrade it to WM 6

Replace back up battery
I think your SDA needs a new back up battery. But, you will have to dismantle whole SDA before you can see small, steel color flat battery right behind key pad. I remember seeing somewhere on the net on how to dismantle SDA to replace keypad/broken screen!!

The same thing happened to me. The first few months I had the phone, when I took out the battery, the time didn't reset. But after the few months, it would. I assume it is due to an internal battery gone dead.
There is a solution however, when I upgraded to a wm6 ROM, it fixed itself. It adds a feature where the time is automatically updated from the network, so I no longer have any problem with the time
That being said though, when I posted this before, someone else said it had to do with the tornado radio update, and not installing wm6 specificly. Anyways, if you update your ROM with the IPL, SPL (spelling?) and wm6, it should work beautifully again

I have a T-Mobile SDA too, I think it's name exactly "Tornado Tempo" (it has 3 media buttons and 1 button for Internet)
And I wonder if these buttons will work when I flash the ROM to WM 6.1, what kind of ROM should I use? Can I save the original ROM for backup (tell me what software to do it)? Thanks alot ?

X7510 Keeps Locking Up

Hey folks,
I have been having a lot of problems with my X7510 lately. The screen keeps locking up in standby mode. When the device is in standby I turn it on and it prompts me for my password. After putting in my password I just get a black screen with the word "password" at the top. While the device is in this state I can still sync (and see all of the files on it) when I connect to my computer. The screen on the device, however, is locked up. This problem has been happening several times a day lately and I cannot receive calls when it happens (nor do I get any indication of missed calls). The only way to get the X7510 to work is to do a soft reset.
At first I thought it might have something to do with the password manager, so I turned the password off today. A couple of hours later I found it locked up anyway. When I pressed the power button it did not come on at all, though the GSM and BT/WIFI lights continued to flash.
Is anyone having this issue? Were you able to figure out what was causing the problem? I am very frustrated right now. My device locks up so much that it is practically unusable since I have to do a reset 2-4 times a day.

Yes- I'm seeing the same issue from time to time. Haven't had time to investigate yet.
Last time it happened was yesterday- Green and Amber lights were flashing, but all buttons unresponsive, and had to do a soft reset.
Running PocketPlus 4.03 as a front end.

That is probably a software issue. Better enumerate your softwares and find out the common one causing it. Usually start with the last one you installed prior to having the problem.

I agree it's definitely a software issue. The only recent addition for me has been Spb Keyboard. PP4.03 has been on since day one, and did not initially seem to be associated with lockups.
When I have time, I'll try and narrow it down a bit.

I have not installed any new software in over six weeks. The only thing that has changed in the last week is an update to IM+. I have uninstalled it completely and will see what happens. If this fails I am not sure what to do.

Just for the record, I don't use any sort of Instant Messaging!

With my Advantage on the ultra-extreme blinks I suffered the tortures of the damned, tortures of the damned. No less than once every couple of hours I'd find my device locked up. Upon direction from my kind forum mates, I decided to uninstall the last software change on the not-so trusty X7510. After removing the IM+ software the PDA still locked up two more times that day. I gave up hope and decided to do an hard reset.
The next day, however, it did not hang up at all. The same goes for today, so after locking up five times a day for a week I have not locked up once in the last 48 hours. No hard reset and all is viddy well, little brother, Viddy well.
Unsure if it was the IM+ update or not, since it locked up twice after the uninstall, but I will not be reinstalling the IM+ update. In the name of science, I will install the original version this afternoon and see what happens.
Most gracious thanks to all those who took time out to reply to this thread.

I can concur that 3rd party software running in the background is usually the culprit.
In my case, I'm having an on-going saga with Hebrew localization bought from P.D.A.C. If I put the device to "sleep", with the email program set to download every 15 minutes (via wifi - no SIM installed), I come back to find a device that will turn on when the power button is pressed (a bit longer than usual), but then no response from any hardware button or screen - a soft reset via the hole in the back is the only way out.
I can in general say that the localization has other problems, like slowing the device down, and generally causing unpredictable hangs, but I'll save that for another thread.
To their credit, PDAC have taken a stab at trying to fix it, but since they don't have (and apparently don't intend to purchase) an HTC 7510 for testing, it's become a slow, hit-or-miss proposition.
One of the problems for gadget fiends like me who are not programmers is choosing a device that isn't massively popular - the support by third-party developers is not adequate. So here I find myself trying to learn how to fix what should work properly out-of-the-box.....and being frustrated by lack of background/knowledge.

Had this lockup problem since i received the device.
The other week in an attempt to fix this i have flashed to the latest 3.29 Rom from cmonex (thanks!) with ExtRom 3.29. As i have a Chinese x7510 version this ExtRom has fixed Opera text block problem, but still had constant lockup after putting unit into sleep mode.
Yesterday, i tried option 'Do not lock buttons' in Key Lock under Settings. Since I have not had one single lockup! Even having in sleep overnight, hit power button and up pops today screen. Normally i would have to soft reset.
This is what i have done so far. I'll have to start installing apps and see how it goes...

G'day from LA
Hi AvantX,
Another Aussie here, but living in LA for the last 7 years.
I loaded cmonex's hard SPL on to my x7510 some time ago, but so far I've been loathe to load an other ROM on to my x7510 as I have been unclear on the return path to the stock rom in the evet of a mishap. I've been hoping to see some ROM development on this forum similar to Kaiser & TyTN but so far we have not seen too much, other than the promise of AP4 amd MichyPrima's ROM somewhen.
Can you show here some screen shots of the 3.29 ROM? Does it look the same as the stock ROM and how does it run compared to the stock ROM? The stock ROM is 3.27.405.3 - is 3.29 an improvement? Does loading 3.29 affect the radio - mine is 1.58.
Thanks mate in advance.

Touch Pro Hard Reset While Charging

Hello,
Here is my issue, i have the latest TAEL Sense ROM from December. My phone just hard reset when i put it on charge while it's powered ON. This has happen on 3 occasions and does not occur when the phone is OFF and charging.
Here is what happenned the last time. Battery was low, just plugged the phone in for charging, came by after 1 hour and saw a miss called, tried to get to the call history screen, but impossible, HTC Touch Sense was not responding.
I was able to get to the windows 6.5 application menu while using the HOME button. Then I used the reset shortcut to reboot the mobile.
Took a long time to reboot(Normal boot screen) and then gave me the Stylus configuration screen, and booted up again to configure TAEL sense rom.
Then everyting gone, contacts messages,... like a fresh HARD RESET...
Does anybody have a clue why this happen ?
Could there be some issue with my battery charger ? or USB Cable ?
Or is this a ROM related issue.
Thanks for your feedback on this one.

thanks for the heads up, man. pretty much the same as in my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613653
and i did forget to mention that both times it hard-resat itself, it was charging as well.

update: it resat itself when i got to work this morning, after being on charge all night.

same here 2 month ago with new Romeos: HR while charging...

did you solve it? any patterns?

Charging successful when mobile is OFF
Last night, i put my mobile on charge all night while it was switched off. when i booted it this morning, everything seems working fine... no resets...
There might be something going on with some applications that are installed on the mobile ?

all i had: calendar and contacts backup. t-mobile mms size fix cab, fuze keyboard fix cab. try leaving it on while charging!
disabled touch flo, put it on charge - nothing so far.

no resets so far - disabled the touch flo. any other feedback?

never mind: put it on charge earlier today and once i opened the keyboard the theme layout changed to stock, so i assume it's going to hard-reset once again

2 resets in one day
There has been 2 resets, yesterday night... i have tried to disabled HTC Sense and install Mobile Shell. but the OS was really unstable and when i rebooted was already hard reset... i wasn't charging the phone... seem to me, that this is an issue at the windows mobile 6.5 level... i'll post a link on Tael Roms page, maybe other persons have the same issue.

flashed back to stock 6.1 - no problems so far.

I've had the exact same problem, but with my Touch Pro 2. I started a thread here, but got no replies so far. I'm wondering if something in custom ROMs is causing this.

that's what it looks like. since reverting back to stock 6.1 no resets whatsoever. knock.knock.knock.

Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help

I Have a Sprint TP2.
I delved into Roms last week when i got my TP2. I tried the r13 rom first and liked it, but at some point when I tried to turn my phone back on it wouldn't. I tried everything, even restarting the phone. It just didn't respond any more so I had to hard format. Then i tried installing Mighty Rom.
I got it customized and everything. It worked nearly perfectly. The only problem I had was that it drained the battery REALLY quickly (like 1 percent per minute) sometimes and i figured something might be running in the background. But today, it's doing the same thing as the r13 rom.
Some programs I have installed are:
Cookie's home tab editor
Skyscape medical programs
Batti
1% battery cab
No-push internet
tree size pro
pandora
slacker radio
clean rom
and some more i can't remember at the moment.
Does anyone have any tips on how i can fix this for good? Or should I just keep trying roms and hope that it will fix it.
Is this a known problem?
Thanks.

It is something you have installed. hard reset and try the rom without anything installed. Then slowly install until you find he bad program.

thanks for the reply.
i used task 29. reinsralled mighty rom then did a hard reset last night. all is well so far. im adding stuff back very slowly to see how it goes.

Did you run task 29 before those two first installs?? A lot of times those hangs can be from not cleaning out the old flash fully. I run task 29 and then clear storage anytime I install a new ROM.
Here is a great thread about batterylife in general:

Just a question, is your error similar to the Sleep of Death, where the phone will not wake when you sleep the phone?

yes it is similar to the sof but worse. in sod a restart fixes it. for mine i couldnt do anything until i did a hard reset. i should say that i was also getting sod before this but i could deal with that by opening the keyboard or restarting at times.
