I got my orbit last friday and apart from having a quick mess around with a few apps like iFonz and others i have not really touched on anything.
But i have noticed that the phone seems to be quite sluggish and would like to know if its possible to strip it right down to the core and then enabled features one by one to speed it up?
If i dont get this thing running a bit more snappy i may not be keeping it for long!
It's just generally a crap device...
I'm seriously thinking of getting rid...

It depends,
If you have HARD SPL so you can upgrade easily by copying the rom (.nbh) file to mem card and it installs by itself (there is thread in "polaris upgrading" forum explains exactly how 2do it).
If you don't have HARD SPL look for guides how to make it cause without it your cruise is "locked" for installing new roms.
I bought mine with HARD SPL installed so i donno how 2do it..

Hey,
I have had a vox for over half a year now and I was using the new OS from HTC.
Recently I had to reflash my phone because it was having a number of issues. The enter key on the front keypad would not work. It would handomly turn the bluetooth on. The screen would not be bright while I was using it (the standy dim lighting).
The enter key on the slide out keyboard does work.
After the reflash everything worked great. Now I have used the phone for a week and this starts happening again. Sometimes restarting will get rid of these problems, but it still seems to be there.
I tried to update to Dr. Gonzo's 6.1 ROM, but I was unable to flash that one, I got an error saying the ROM is corrupt.
Do you think this may be a hardware problem?
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks,
GRoder
which ROM are you currently using?
Did you USPL the device before flashing WM6.1 ROM?
that is a necessary step.
Let us know after you flash doc's ROM.

hey hey, I did read both of the supplied read me files, however I'm sure sure that the updates UPL/SPL updates worked correctly. There is one step that I am unsure about.

yea I always use the search function in forums, why ask what 10 others have asked before.
I'm just curious if anyone has experienced a similar problem with their phone. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue...
Nope, this is something for which people are opening a new threat every day, so I hope you can understand that I am a bit grumpy sometimes!

I will try it again tonight when I get home. I think it was the step where I had to run the *.bat file with all the promts...at the end the phone did not behave like it said in the read me so I think something may have gone wrong at that point.
Would this be of any use to you smarter guys? I use a tilt, a coworker picked up this Touch Diamond on Sprint. Is there anything i can yank off for you guys before i set it up and hand it over?

Whoa there killer, slow down. I dont even have a clue on how to do that. I have a windows XP box here, and then a linux box that i have successfully setup with HTCFlasher or whatever. How do i dump the ROM? The interface is slick, just like Hyperdragon's, but nice since it's the better screen.

I've successfully flashed Hyperdragon III Pro onto my Kaiser using Ubuntu. I can assist with that if you need me to. I found a method of extracting the rom off of the Kaiser, and it doesn't seem to work on this diamond. Says it's application locked. Unfortunately, it's not possible for me to do anything on this phone outside of its stock form since it's not mine. I tried

Killed my Wizard
O MY GOD I killed my wizard
My htc wizard is not booting!
Black screen when I press on the power button. No response.......
I was flashing my ROM for testing. It hanged at 30% ( I waited for 30 min ).
When I pressed on the power button, there was no response or no 3 color display.
I killed my wizard.....
Please close this thread
Hello,
Kindly please close this thread.....................
I cannot upload the file. Due to killing my wizard
I am very sorry guys....
I had the same thing happen to me when i flashed to the 3.1 Diamond Rom, it hung at 88% for an hour. so i unplugged the phone, booted into bootloader, and then loaded the TMo stock rom and then tried diamond again and it worked fine.
have you tried going directly into bootloader mode and then flashing from there? It should work no problems...

Does this mean the Thread's title can be changed again?
And did you find out which part of the Sys port you tried caused the Memory issue
Or was it XIP.
I personally believe there is no shame in mistakes.
If there's one thing that XDA has stood for from day one.
It is to take stuff apart and see how it works.
Then adding and taking out stuff that can prove or disprove a theory.
Eventually it's mistakes that we're looking for.
If you find out what caused this behavior it could be of great benefit to others trying to cook their own rom.
I am build a new ROM plz help.
It is hanging at 3rd splash screen.

Anyone?
The speaker sounds weird and very softly (yes, i tried to raise the volume), so I want to bring it back for warranty...
I guess this time I was a bit to fast with flashing my device...

WIKI is always your friend Raphael owners are pretty much smaller so much of the information you need can find it in the wiki. Good luck!

I wouldn't know why you'd want to use the stoch Dutch T-mobile rom. It sucks bigtime. I have an unbranded Dutch TP and 2 of my friends got themselves a Dutch T-Mobile TP (Vario IV) and the Vario IV rom is very buggy. It has major slowdowns, hangs en it's causing a mayham in the contacts list every time.
T-Mobile is completely unwilling to do anything about it so they returned their phones.
Crap like this is the main reason why I wanted an unbranded TP
Simple!
You can easily download the original rom from T-Mobile.nl

This link is still working, but the file appears to be corrupted. Can anybody upload it and post link?
Morning All,
Just a quick question to those who recently upgraded to the new O2 Rom....
The Manila version is 2012, but I can't for the life of me see any of the talked about differences (extra tabs, ability to reposition contacts etc...) At present I looks and feels like o2 / HTC have just renames 1920 to 2012.... Can someone prove me wrong?
Also whilst I'm on the line.... I've lost the home screen icon for the taskmanager and can't find (and believe me I've searched) for the right cab / tweak to get it back....
Finally, (sorry) way before o2 got their act into gear there were masses of modifications to the 2012 version of Manila.... Have these all died out?
Thanks for your pearls!!!
Interesting...
I've just sent my HD2 back to O2 for repairs (batt/charging problem)
Wanted to know, will they update it to the latest Rom/Radio/Manila?
Not sure if I want them to now....
Going to mess up my ready to go back up.... sigh... I feel a new build coming on...
I believe that they will - happened to me previously....
Does Manila 2012 support landscape? All I get a blank screen.....
I've never been so confused... thought I knew the phone well........

Very good upgrade.
Phone is faster now and the battery keeps longer.
Installed all applicactions, everything works fine
+1
Since ive had it, it hasnt slowed down at all or needed a soft reset. Noticably faster.
Can anyone tell me how to find out what hotfixes are included in the Rom so I know what I still have to install?
Thanks
