WM6 has become a pain - XV6700, PPC-6700 ROM Development

Hi Friends,
I am facing a peculiar problem with my xv6700. When i press the "power on" button to start the handset, it start without a backlight and can be seen only under a light. However it allows me to make calls but cannot hear anything. When there is an incoming call there is no ring only incoming call alert icon flashes.
However, after battrey is discharged and wen keeping it for charging it switches on and get stuck on the white screen showing Radio as "None".
Now my problem is that I am not able to upgrade or downgrade the ROM it gives either of the error messeges like "Connection Error" or "Rom not made for this device".
Is there a way to completely erase everything including the OS and re-load a fresh set up so as to provide stability to the handset.
My current config is
ROM = WM6
Boot Loader : v1.00
Can someone help me to upgrade or downgrade so that my handset works properly.
regards
Raju

Smart1 v2 Bug Collection

OMG, thats really bad news I red today! Smart1 will not release a v3! Your WM6 v2 is close to perfect, just some small bugs left to perfection. Whatever may happen, I wanna thank you for this first: GOOD WORK!!!
I may not have posted alot until now, since I prefer reading first, digging into it, then posting. I´m still pretty new to PPC world (compared to those who live in here..), and I don´t want to spam and pollute.
Now someone asked for list of bugs in smart1 WM6 v2 to fix them / cook a new ROM based on it, so I step in because these bugs are something I know about - sadly.
Maybe you smart1 could give all the files needed to build it to him, to make shure things dont get messed up on rebuilding? Don´t know how this is handled in here.
BUGLIST:
Bugs I have myself & they are confirmed:
- Backlight switches OFF after Softreset (really bad at night..)
- PIN to access device gets corrupted on Softresets (-> cant use device with PIN enabled edit: Installing radio ROM 2.61.29 has been reported to fix this bug, I will NOT test this.)
- Email Password gets lost after SoftReset (reenter on boot)
- IR not working (did not check manual reg fix avail.)
- WLAN in Comm Manager does not always switch ON/OFF propper, does not switch ON after several tries
- Delay of 0.5-1 sec on most Softkeys (1/2, Green, Red) + 1 & 2 cant be reasigned without problems (cab)
- second incoming calls screen never appear + no missed calls record in call history. (never tried, but as workaround I suggest disablin the feature at your cellular provider. edit: Installing radio ROM 2.61.29 has been reported to fix this bug, I will test this.)
- GRPS Connections do not intialize propper after Softreset. After opening Connection Settings once (like editing them, then OK) all works fine until next Softreset.
- Links inside emails produce an error
Bugs I dont have myself but confirmed
- Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume. Mic volume too soft as claimed by other party during conversation. (fine here, maybe depending on G3/4 or model)
- Incoming MMS does not work.Outgoing does work. (Cant confirm, hate $$$ MMS)
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
Bugs I have myself but not shure if confirmed:
- Could not get Internet Telephonie (SIP) working, may be wrong settings
- Sometimes dialing a contact does not work (from some views/windows). Will check the circumstances
Bugs some people have but not confirmed so far:
- MobileCalculator.exe not starting (works fine here)
- Pocket Outlook (Messages) does not start after a while (had this once, guess its some inteference with other soft)
- If you want to mark a task as complete or make a new task, you receive an error "not enough memory to complete the task, etc". If you click on complete (left button below screen), it marks the task as complete, but when you leave the application the task is not gone. When you enter tasks again, the task is still there.This happens too in the pdamobiz v1.00 rom. (I can not confirm this at all.)
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer. (not completly wrong, in general sofkeys lag)
- System sounds (click, msgbox etc) go off sometimes, a soft reset gets them back (had once, someone else confim please)
from 18.04.07:
- Display is not kept opp when pressing the power-button slightly once. Some program forces it to turn on back-light, which makes the touch-screen active again. Active touch-screen in a pocket is a very bad combination (I dont get this. Get opp?? Why not just lock device or use Mortsaver)
- The phone turns itself on frequently throughout the day when you have an Exchange email account. This is confirmed after a hard reset, and doesn't happen until the Exchange account is entered. (Guess Mortsaver could be used as workaround as long as not fixed.)
- BUG: The text or font cannot be changed in Outlook Mobile. Attempting to change the size of the text to bigger or smaller does nothing. (Uhm, does WM 6 support HTML mails at all? I don´t need it, if i need formated text i attach it)
- Ringing disappear from time to time (not sms). Screen still go on from time to time when display off(even on a clean hardreset).
(BTW; Since i have SmartV2, the extended rom does not install automatically.
I Confirm these bugs:
----------------------------------------------------------------
To get a clean & bugfree WM6 on prophet (maybe) I suggest following system:
- Everybody reads the whole tread before he / she starts posting
- Everybody thinks twice before posting if the post matches the topic
(Smart1 v2 Bug Collection - not: How to flash ROM or Please add finnish language.)
- Everybody posts bugs that are not already known .
- Everybody confirms bugs if they where not confirmed once
- Everybody falsifies bugs if they do not appear on their device
- Everybody posts tested solutions to confirmed bugs
- Nobody posts requests or problems with flashing or any other BS
- Nobody quotes complete posts just to add a single line
I will read this tread and update this post to collect all known bugs into this single post. I hope some mods keep an eye on this tread and keep it clean from "I have a problem and I am to lazy to read - PLEEEASE HELP ASAP" posts. Excuse me if this sounds a bit rude, but I just red trough 90 pages of the smart1 tread....
Even if we can`t cook ourselfs we can still judge the taste...
Please keep this post clean!!!
A
bug I find: afetr using some time, the messeage can't be used!
thanks
Problems happened to my prophet
1. Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume. Mic volume too soft as claimed by other party during conversation.
2. second incoming calls screen never appear + no missed calls record in call history.
Bug with tasks?
I have only one complaint and this is about tasks.
If I want to mark a task as complete or make a new task, I receive an error "not enough memory to complete the task, etc". If you click on complete (left button below screen), it marks the task as complete, but when you leave the application the task is not gone. When you enter tasks again, the task is still there.This happens too in the pdamobiz v1.00 rom.
I don't know if this could help others.. I had the same problems as you other guys in this thread with the phone part. (No missed calls list, PIN to access device gets corrupted on Softresets).
If i then flashed firts to NVID of WM5 rom, then to Smart1's WM6 V2 and after that i flashed to the radio rom of version 2.61.29.. Then those problems dissapeared for me.. I have a full call history list, and the phone does ask me for PIN everytime i soft reset! I haven't had these problems at all after i did this.
Bugs I have myself but not shure if confirmed:
- GRPS Connections do not intialize propper after Softreset. After opening Connection Settings once (like editing them, then OK) all works fine until next Softreset.

I can confirm that! I have the same problem!
Grt Rom, just a few glitches.
1) the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
2) System sounds (click, msgbox etc) go off sometimes, a soft reset gets them back
Can live with the above 2 problems, other than that i think its a fabulous rom, quite slick and quick. Hope someone can pick up where Smart1 left off.
Turns itself on with an Exchange email account
OK. Scratch the title of this post.
The problem exists when a PIN is used with the 'Lock' applet in Settings -> Personal -> Lock. When you have a PIN set to be required at startup, the phone will at times turn on by itself. Also, if you let the phone sit by itself for a few minutes, you will be able to turn it on with the 'end call' button! I have repeated this after several hard resets with no apps installed.
I originally thought an Exchange account created this problem because my hosted Exchange provider requires a PIN to be setup for the phone to communicate with the Exchange server. But, I know the Exchange account has nothing to do with the problem.
BUGS
BUGS
RINGING
Sometimes the phone does not ring as normal (sms do notify!), it displays only on screen without making any sound, not even vibration.
Happened once after weeks of usage:
SYNCRONIZING
Syncing with laptop not successfull. After all my calendar, contacts, to-do and task were deleted on unit. After that ActiveSync does not want to syncronize with phone anymore. Not even after deleting and creating a new partnership. The unit keep changing its ID; WM_Administrator1, 4, 6 etc.
Hardreset and reinstall of AS4.5 so far works.
GENERAL
*Display is not kept off when pressing the power-button slightly once. Some program forces it to turn on back-light, which makes the touch-screen active again. Active touch-screen in a pocket is a very bad combination. I dont use any exchange-account.
*Fast battery draining (tried every radio-rom, now running 2.07.20)
More bugs
And ofcourse;
Incoming MMS does not work. (outgoing does work!)

For me, this is the biggest drawback. Which apps do have installed, and have you tested them to determine which app might be involved in turning the device on by itself?
I have also noticed that I can even get the device to turn on with the end call button at times...
Do you have an Exchange email account?
EDIT18th Apr-07 08:48 (GMT+1):
BUGS
Still no incoming MMS, Ringing disappear from time to time (not sms). Screen still go on from time to time when display off(even on a clean hardreset).
Have not been able to reproduce contacts/calendar deletion via sync yet (it appeared after some weeks last time, fresh install now only 3 days)
(BTW; Since i have SmartV2, the extended rom does not install automatically. I therefore have installed the cab-files in folder "\extended_rom\" manually via total commander. If that has something to do with it)
I Confirm these bugs:
Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume.
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
Wow, amazing how fast this gets confusing. People please try to keep it clean!!!
If you find out something is not caused by the ROM itself (like Bongachalla just did), please edit your previous posts and delete these Bug reports.
As far as I understand Bongachalla had 4 Bugs (no MMS receiving, No Ringing from time to time, Sync deleted all contacts on PPC and Touchscreen activating by programs (check our Mortsaver for this btw.)).
Did all of these bugs disappear after your reinstall or what?
Please try to be exact with your bug reports and check if they appear with a clean installed ROM before you post them. Please search on board if there is a fix for them and post solution together with report if you find some. If you get any error message google it to find out what causes it.
This helps us all and raises the chances that someone will take the time to build a rom with bugs fixed. Thx.
BUG: The text or font cannot be changed in Outlook Mobile. Attempting to change the size of the text to bigger or smaller does nothing.
No more bugs?
Maybe you did read the original Smart1 tread, so you know he revived his S200 and announced release of v3 in the next weeks. So I guess its time to post any unknown bugs and confirm the known ones, so they can be fixed in this (I guess final)release.
Thank you for your help.

Another bug not yeat reported
I've looked every where and didn't found anything related with this bug.
My sms just get erased from the Text Messages folder each time I do a soft reset.
using smart1_wm6_pp8mb_NEW.v2 and the Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.61.21, followed the instructions and runned all the cabs in the extended_rom.
Did i do anything wrong or is this really a bug
No bug ... its a config of the SMS store!
I dont want to spamn this post, so can you just redirect me to the instructions on how to change that? so when i do a reboot, the sms dont get lost? sorry for the off topic([email protected])
You can't change it! If you reset with your stylus you will probably loose messages.
Use pxshut or similar or turn off (hold power for three seconds)
The reset hole is for emergencies only. This is discussed in great detail in the Fantastic 1.1 thread and the Smartv2 thread.

'standby' problem

I am discovering a problem with my o2 Orbit2 (HTC Touch Cruise / Polaris) which I couldn't find here in the forum:
Aprox. every 5 days my Orbit 2 hangs up, when its in standby mode. It doesn't matter if it goes to standby by itself or if I push the power button to do so. When i want to turn it back on again it doesn't respond and the screen stays black, but I still can see the LED on top flashing. If I call my own number from another phone, I can here that there's a line put the orbit doesn't do anything. So I'm missing all calls and am not getting a missed call information after the softreset I will have to do to get it back to life.
This problem is not depending on the battery status and I usually don't have any progs running in backround.
After the softrest everything is fine for the next days, but I still don't know since when it hang and what I've missed during that time.
Does anybody know this problem or may even have a solution?
Many thanks
MSG
Ohh my GOD !
I was hoping these kinds of problem to be fixed by MS on 6.0 version . . .
Because i have had your identical problem on a Win Mobile 5.0 MIO A501 that has been sold and i am happy with my new HTC POLARIS wich hasn't at the moment this kind of problem . . . at the moment

If I were you I'd uninstall one-by-one each piece of third party software you've put on there until it stops doing it, then you'll know the culprit.

Hi, you may join this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366558
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.

Other problems found in 3.04WWE

Not just "short battery life" ,that found in 3.04WWE , but also has others ...
Last week , I installed - reinstalled - uninstalled ROM ( WWE3.03 and 3.04 ) about 5-6 times, and I has experienced other problems in the following list.
1. Sometimes , Someone call me and thay said the signal cut automatically.
I felt this was unusual , so I started to examine .I told my friend to call to my phone number , they said the signal cut after call out to my number. while my phone show up Light , like it is going to show "In Coming Call" , but no ringtone , no in coming call shown up...
2. I usually set to loudest sound . But with WWE3.04 , I need to turn of sound and Turn it on again to get loudest ringtone , everytime after restart ( soft-reset ) the phone.
3.Contacts list didn't show up until I touch some alphabet order to search.
... that is what I found in WWE3.04 ...
-Thank You-
Mine is freezing sometimes when I receive a call and also the phone restarted sometimes when I'am browsing some files....
No unlock keys in rom 3.04
The only working key is the power on/off key.. You can not turn on the screen after the phone is turned off by pressing any key other than the power on/off key.. And the icon in setting " unlock keys " is no longer present in rom wwe 3.04...
yes, Generation 9 doesn't support NoKeyLock, I hope G9.5 will support it...
I think the use "unlock keys" will automatically call so few people prefer to use . you should press power after the call ifwant.
I never use lock keypad when my pda's screen is off
--------
Hope to soon have the G9.5, the G9 is complete early to continue with the G9.5 soon

Hi, I had the same problem but this happens mainly because of the SD problem for 04 roms. Please see if you have ringtones, pictures or UI like pointui or SPB installed in SD memory. You have to install all these in main memory and Point 1 is solved. Not sure about the point 2 and 3.

XDA Orbit 2 calls by itself

Am using an unmodified Win 6.1 rom and whenever I have my USB headset connected I run the risk of the phone calling the last number I dialled by itself.
Also sometimes Cyberon's Voice Speed Dial settings window comes up and since the screen's active at this point it could be doing any number of things while it's in my pocket.
How do I disable this?
I found that ssdaemon was a contributing factor so i've removed it from my startup list and ended the process.
Annoyingly I have to keep ending the process, since it keeps starting up whenever a sound comes through.
And it still dials by itself when I put it in my pocket or any similar space. Keylock doesn't make a difference and i've taken it out and pressed all the button combos i can find to emulate it but that doesn't work.
Try flashing a new ROM
3lit3is a good one!
I'm using 3lit3 with RESCO 2010 Today plugin, it have the screen lock option.
Have a try

[Q] Phone turns silent when called

Hi, so i have the wierdest issue with my Xperia z3.
When i have it on vibrate and get a call, it will vibrate for about a second, then turn on silent mode (you can even observe the icon changing in the status bar), therefore stop vibrating. If i answer the call, block it, or the caller hangs up, it goes back to vibrate mode (again, observable in status bar). Has anyone had a similar experience and maybe found a solution for it?

Anyways, thank you!
