Windows Mobile 6.0

The signature shown is incorrect. That was the earlier ROM giving me problems...

Hi Everyone,
I have been writing on this same topic over and over again. Following is my problem:
I bought HTC Prophet/O2 Neo and it works well with Windows Mobile 5. I wanted to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 and other higher versions. I can upgrade to WM 6 as well.
But following are the problems I face with WM6 and higher versions:
1) When I send a short message (SMS) to someone my phone works normally but if someone calls me the phone rings at their end but does not ring at my end. I switch off the phone (put it on standby) and then it works okay.
2) IF the phone loses the signal anywhere it just keeps on hunting for the signal. In the meantime it shows the green light blinking indicating it does have a signal. Now if in the meantime any one calls me up the phone again rings at their end but I do not get any incoming calls. I do not get any missed call alerts either.
I have reverted back to Jester's ROM in WM5.0 it is working fine again with the following problems:
1) The voice quality is not so great and calls regularly get dropped in areas where signal is not too strong
2) The contacts do not have options such as "File As"
3) When you want to dial and you put in the first few numbers for e.g. for dialling SAM you put in 726 it will display all entries related to 726. Though SAM is a part of these entries it should be the first entry as it is someone I call more often.
4) When you are playing music and put the phone on standby the music stops!
I request you to advise me on how should I upgrade to 6.0 or further in the best possible way or help me resolve the problems in WM5 with appropriate apps
Also one thing I wonder is what IPL/SPL/GSM should be there ideally for WM6.
Also FYI my friend has the same phone upgraded to WM 6.5 and it works perfectly for him. I put my SIM card in his phone and it worked fine as well.
Please help.

-this might have to do with correct settings did you check your phone settings or if not did you hard reset after flashing a ROM whether is WM 5 or 6?
2) IF the phone loses the signal anywhere it just keeps on hunting for the signal. In the meantime it shows the green light blinking indicating it does have a signal. Now if in the meantime any one calls me up the phone again rings at their end but I do not get any incoming calls. I do not get any missed call alerts either.
-this doesnt happen to me maybe there is really a network problem or better yet check your phone settings again there might have been an appropriate setting for this situation
I have reverted back to Jester's ROM in WM5.0 it is working fine again with the following problems:
1) The voice quality is not so great and calls regularly get dropped in areas where signal is not too strong -that happens really if signal is not so strong better find a spot where in there is an appropriate signal
2) The contacts do not have options such as "File As" -this is ROM dependent i think... some ROM cookers incorporate these settings in their ROMS
3) When you want to dial and you put in the first few numbers for e.g. for dialling SAM you put in 726 it will display all entries related to 726. Though SAM is a part of these entries it should be the first entry as it is someone I call more often. -you have to live with it i guess since your using WM 5
4) When you are playing music and put the phone on standby the music stops!check your media player settings there is a setting that says play music even on standby mode
I request you to advise me on how should I upgrade to 6.0 or further in the best possible way or help me resolve the problems in WM5 with appropriate apps
Also one thing I wonder is what IPL/SPL/GSM should be there ideally for WM6.nope IPL doesnt matter SPL should be HardSPLed if your G3 you should have 2.G3.4PDA or G4 2.G4.4PDA (read more on how you will know if your device is G3 or G4 on Prophet WIKI THIS IS IMPORTANT BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROM GSM its only for getting phone signals etc etc and sometimes this matter when your battery drains so fast
Also FYI my friend has the same phone upgraded to WM 6.5 and it works perfectly for him. I put my SIM card in his phone and it worked fine as well.
Please help.

[Q] Update – HTC Desire HD Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) update

Your phone will receive a notification of FOTA update when it is made available. Simply press OK to accept the update via a data connection such as Wi-Fi or GPRS/3G. After installing the update, you can confirm a successful update by confirming the Build number (From the Home Screen go to MENU> Settings> About Phone> Software Information> Software number). The new Build number after the update will be 2.36.405.5. Update: Android 2.3 upgrade. Note：Please back up your data first before upgrading your phone. We recommend using a free Wi-Fi hotspot or an unlimited data plan to apply this update. If not, standard data connection charges may apply. For any questions, please contact us at http://www.htc.com/www/CA_Hotline.aspx
http://www.htc.com/uk/support.aspx
I tried but with no luck (
Any ideeas??

so what exactly is your question and what does it have to do with the apps and games thread?

I tried too! But nothing. No updates...

its UK only...

I am in uk and seems like there is no update yet for us...

I have received this upgrade and have had nothing but trouble since installing it. I was wondering if there was a way I can put my phone back to the way it was?
Basically, since the update, the only difference in my phone that I notice is an app called "Dock" which is basically a new screen for when you are driving. I have had nothing but trouble receiving calls or texts and at worst, I have received texts 26 hours after they were sent. My work depends on my company being able to contact me at any given time which, since the update, they have had a great difficulty doing.
Is there any way I can roll back the phone to the previous software as HTC and my network company are shockingly bad at making any attempt to solve the problem?
Thanks

Homtom HT10 firmware HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170226

Homtom HT10
a new official firmware has been released:
HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170226.zip
http://www.homtom.cc/
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By2t6rTTiNQNcEJ1QkpKQnhzck0/view?usp=sharing
no change log unfortunately
could you please report if those major bugs listed bellow are finally fixed?
is it rootable? if yes, how?
- no OTA update
- losing user language preference (simcard default language is used instead)
- losing connectivity (cannot make/receive calls)
- iris / pattern unlock crash/reboot
- random reboot
- screen calibration issue (not responding sometimes and it cannot be fixed with calibration apps from Google store)
- blurry pictures (slow focus and shutter speed)
- bad audio quality (over saturated)
- clean of malwares and chinese apps
Hardware features that were announced but never won't be available (fake advertising / SCAM):
- 5Ghz Wi-Fi compatibily
- NFC
- OTG
*** UPDATE ***
Ok folks... I removed the simcard and also the battery few seconds and flashed latest firmware with sp_flash_tool (firmware mode not download mode) and lost everything (all apps / data) but there is a good news... smartphone doesn't lose language preference anymore!
unfortunately smartphone is still losing connectivity and network (cannot make/receive calls even if there is network signal !)
(I thought it was solved too because it has worked almost half a day but actually i've still got this issue!)
so HomTom HT10 is still a useless 'smart' brick...
And HomTom is doing the same than UMI: banning from their Facebook page users reporting bugs or false avertising (OTG/NFC/Wi-Fi 5Ghz/full bands support/...).

Got mine 2 weeks ago and have not experinced any of the problem above. I think you have got a bad phone only(fake copy?).
I had a update as soon as I started the phone and it is now HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170225, hmm yours is 0226.
I am no super user of phones but this one is working very good only the sound when doing the iris thing is annoying.

Anyway there is a new official firmware... Anyone tried it already?
@ homtom.cc
HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170510.zip
I'm looking for an English (or global) custom ROM for this device running Android 6.x or 7.x
MoKee, GizROM, LineageOS 13/14/15. Any ROM 100% working.

I bought one of these a while back and using it on the T-Mobile network for over 8 months. I also have not had any trouble that you stated above such as loosing connectivity or the iris scan crashing. I do agree that it would be nice if you could turn off the iris scan noise though. Love this phone and glad I took a chance when ordering it.

I may have found this thread a little late, but here I am. I have the Homtom HT10 running the firmware Android-6.0-V01-20161202 and I was able to root the device using Kingo Root. It's been a while, but I think there were some additional steps to go through before this root worked. My question is if anyone here has had success in rooting one of the newer firmwares, since I'm not sure if this root would survive the firmware update and I wouldn't want to lose root access.
Also, does anyone know how to replace the Kingo Superuser app with Chainfire's version?

mine was working good, i rooted , and install magisk and after a while i loose connectivity when make calls..i flash full firmware..format and all the stuff and still cannot make callss

I've flashed HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170622 and so far all works pretty good (it keeps the language)...
Only audio EQ quality is poor (distorsion) and volume / quality issue in phone calls.
Not sure yet if OS is able to switch properly from a deficient 4G network to 3G/2G (because i'm currently using forced 3G mode in settings) but it seems to work better than previously.

flashing the Rom
Hi guys. I'm having trouble loading the latest firmware thru sp flash tool.
I'm running Windows 10 and I've installed the extra drivers.
Would love some help.
Thanks

I used a different version of flash tool and it started when I put the battery in. There's so many versions of flash tool I guess. But I got it working.
Thanks for the response!

My HT10 (got it a month ago) GPS not working
Hi guys
My HT10 GPS in to working. The phone is new, I just got it, and it literally only has viber and Here maps on.
The GPS tested today, not working.
Under a sky with no clouds in the middle of a field with no obstructing buildings and no signal whatsoever.
custom build version: alps-mp-m0.mp9-v1.33_aeon6797.6c.m_p11

Hello
I am french and I live in Ireland.
I have same problem with my Homtom HT10. My smartphone is still losing connectivity and network (cannot make/receive calls even if there is network signal !). I indicated the problem to Homtom who asked me to update Firmware but it did not improve the problem. Homtom suggests me sending back the smartphone for repair but postal charges are very expensive for China.
No solution... I have to restart my Homtom all days if I want to send a SMS or make a phone call.
Perhaps a problem with the SIM Card ?

I got mine since 4 months ago.
Probably the worst android I ever got.
It is fast ok and charge is really quick but its always losing connection. Its more like a photo camera and mp3 than phone.
The other stupid thing is that can connect Wifi 5Ghz and the 2.4 is really slow.
I have already stock firmarware 20170622

Serious Homtom ??
Hi
My question to Homtom :
When Androïd 7.0 Nougat is going to arrive for my Homtom HT10 ?
Homtom's answer :
Dear customer,
Hello.
Unfortunately, we don't have any available news about update to Android 7.0 on HT10 at present. Please note that the original Android platform could not be upgraded in normal situation.
Best regards!

It's not a joke... An incompetent technical department

Delay when receiving SMS on Mi 5s Plus running LineageOS 14.1

First of all, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so do tell me if it's not.
I switched phones recently from an LG G3 to this one and so I had to ask my provider for a smaller SIM card in order to fit the phone's slot.
After switching phones and using the new card, I noticed that the messages people sent me had a considerable delay in being received, be it 10 minutes, some hours or sometimes even a full day (according to the details displayed by my messaging app)
I tested my SIM card on my old phone to see if the problem was fixed or not and I didn't notice any delay there, so I assumed it was the new phone and flashed LineageOS 14.1 to see if it would fix the problem. I didn't get any delay during the first day.
Today, however, a message got delayed by 10 minutes and so I have no idea if the problem was fixed or not.
Could anyone please help me understand what the issue might be and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I think I fixed it, if anyone's having the same problem.
Disable VoLTE and change the system select in the SIM options to Home only, that's what did it for me.
Please close this thread.

I didn't have the same issue

Maybe in Miui you have misconfigured the option security-permissions-sms-contacts ....

Solution to delayed messages with Miui 10 os.
I see some of you are having problems with delayed sms. What I will recommend to do is not a ?% fix, yet it has worked for me as a user of Miui 10.
1. Go to settings and select system apps under app settings.
2. Select messaging and scroll down to additional settings. You will see 'Short Message Service Center' select it.
3. The number provided in this field is actually your network provider service center number, which is what we will now replace. You put in your area code first with your cell number replacing the default 'service center number' founded. Problem solved.
This was my fix, having to deal with two step verifications being delayed, on my xiaomi redmi plus 5 which was annoying.

LG stylo 5 No service.

Hi there! I've recently had an issue with my phone where i have no service. My bars have a little x next to them, as though i have data turned off.
Here's the info I've gathered:
My preferred network option is stuck on 22.
It tell me to connect to WiFi (despite being connected) when i attempt to send a text, but tells me to turn off airplane mode when trying to make a call
Nothing data related works, but WiFi is fine.
Now, I've found another thread from early 2022 with the same exact issue. Only thing is, they were having the issue after updating to Android 10.
My phone is still on Android 9. Like, I'm pretty sure its not even the most recent version of 9 either. Like, i have build number PKQ1.190302.001, which isn't the latest build for even 9, let alone 10 and onwards. However, i can't update. I've checked in the settings and everything, it keeps telling me there's no update available, which i don't believe.
I get my service through Boost Mobile, so I'm not sure if they didn't get the update, or if something else is going on. Either way, i have no service, which is a serious problem as i have no other phone and can't get a new one until late February.
I'm sorry if making a new thread wasn't a good idea, its just the only other thread I've found was from a year ago, and my issue is technically different.
Thank you in advance for any help!
