On Monday 18.05, I have upgraded to qtek v. 1.66. Since then, these last 2 days, around 8 pm, the BT light start flashing and the qtek does not work any more. Making a soft reset just stop the green light. The only solution I found is a hard reset. Installed programs: SPB 2.0, wimram, ezwap, vito button mapper. Perhaps is one of these program not compatible. I will now wait until tonight 8 pm, withour reinstalling any programs and see if i need to downgrade to older version.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance

i have that issues once in awhile
is use spd but not version 2
my qtek 2020 came with 1.66
this mean i use backup and restore often
suppose i could try to leave it default
and see if it's a program doing the stuff
are u using a SD512 card? if yes try to remove it and see if the forced hard.reset is still needed.
i use a 128MB and a few times removing it helped but in general it dont help
nor does removing the batt or sim
or trying to charge it which it cant when it's frozen
suppose it could be a hardware issue but odd that a hardreset always solve it then
I am getting same problem, but with me , it can happen without warning, i cannot switch on, no response to any soft reset attempt, only solution is to do a forced hard reset. Happened now 5 times in 1 month, (new i-mate v.1.66) programs installed, sprite backup v3. PI v5, spb plus v2, hudsonmobile phone dashboard, spb gprs monitor, resco file explorer, fitaly, phatpad, phat notes and scary bear check notifiaction (usually no more than 11 listed). It is a nuisance, but i no have confidence in hard reset and restore with sprite backup working well, i now keep regular backups. I am very interested to know if there any any potential conflics etc. I have seen in some of the threads oin this forum that soft reset 5 times at the start of hard reset, when the red tect appears bottom right, can work, I will try next time.
For me it's under multie last version.
Sometimes it's freeze 10s.
Before I do hard reset but now I wait and its works.
wonder if it could have anything to do with the strange max process limit bug
or if people who dont install any software themselfs also get it after X time
Exactly the same problem:
Sometime the blue light goes on, don't know if that is the same problem.
But hangs with a black screen, no backlight, no button response and no light after a bat change or softreset.....
Operator version: 3.66.3.171
ROM version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM date: 02/20/04
Radio version: 1.10.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version 1.66.171
SD256 Toshiba-card
Software:
TomTom 3, Spb plus 2.0, Calendar+
I thought the problem was the the option in the today screen; "Display Today screen if device is not used for xxx hours. I set the option off, but i not really tested it.
After much research reading different posts and threads, it seems many of us using ROM version 1.66.00we are getting the same problem. It seems it is something to do with the radio. Owners of earlier versions are not posting these concerns. apparently v1.66 can not be downgraded to the more stable 1.52. According to some posts, a new version 1.72 will be released shortly, which hopefully will solve problem. Check the posts on this site regarding the 1.72 beta release. I am getting fed up with these issues, imate costs a small fortune and its reliablity is a dissappointment to what is otherwise a great device.
what radio does 1.5 and 1.7 use because my 1.66 have 1.10.00
it seems that i-mate devices which came originally with ROM 1.52 had the radio 1.06 and for those who have subsequently upgrade to 1.52 from an earlier ROM 1.03 they get the 1.10 radio stack.
The guys at :
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&id=19287&catid=45
have this file:
http://buzzdev.net/components/com_simpleboard/uploaded/files/Prophet_ext_rom_unlock.rar
- unpack
- copy it over to your device
- run it
This will make your ExtendedROM writable, NOT visible.
Use TotalCommander CE to display content of your ExtendedROM for now (by entering "\Extended_Rom")
Sometimes, files in ExtendedROM are marked as READONLY and you have to clear that bit.
Does anybody has a good description of each file present in the Extended_Rom and if we can delete it or not?????
After readin that whole thread it seems some say it works some say it does not.
Can anyone confirm it works with the latest Submitter Cingular Rom? I do not want to have to reinstall everything again
I just got things perfect from the last Hard Reset I did.
I tried it on my 2.08 Qtek rom. Does not work (YET as Buzz is still trying!)
This was merely a test version btw.
I flashed my Qtek s200 with the lastest dopod rom (from the ftp page) then did a soft reset just before customisation begins (preventing the extrom files from loading - I don't use MMS or smartdialing).
Copy buzznet's prophet extrom exe onto your device and run it (You should get a little popup saying "success"). I can't view the extrom files and the memory settings are still the same but my system runs a lot faster and I've gone from having to do a soft reset almost twice a day to once every 5 or 6 days!! (I run a large program thats eats up RAM).
It seems so much more stable, reponsive and quicker
Hope this helps......

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is why this stuff gets dangerous. The s200 is not the same as the Wizard from what I understand. Folks read things like this in what is a Wizard specific forum and think it's really working. On the buzzdev forums they seem to say it works on Prophet based devices and not on wizards.
That is why I asked here on a wizard specific forum about anyone having success.
From Bootloader / ROM structure perpective the Prophet and Wizard are said to be similar.
Buzz has developed his tool without any of these devices so hes still in a test phase.
Worked For me
with the last RRU Qtek IPL 2.15 Radio 2.30

Hi guys
I tried it but it gives me message that it is not a valied Pocket PC application
the ExtROM version is 2.06 from PDAMobiz.com
Hi,
I have searched the forum but havent been able to find anyone else with this same problem.
My call history doesnt seem to automatically clear itself. No matter whether I change the settings to 1 week, 1 month or whatever.
Have any of you had the same problem?
I have cleared it but it seems to not automatically clear itself after that...
Thanks for your help.
Regards.
Hi,
Mine doesnt either.
Did find out that the call history is stored in the pim.vol in the root directory.
Matt
Which version of the ROM are you using?
I have the ORANGE ROM
ROM: 1.30.90 WWE
Radio: 1.09.00
Do other Orage users running this version of the ROM have the same issue too?
Hi,
Still havent plucked up the courage to upgrade the ROM yet, so am still on:
ROM: 1.13.49
RADIO: 1.03.00
Matt
I used to have this same problem. I solved it by backup my device using spb backup, because this problem is because of the pim. Then I hard reset the device. and then just restore all the files but PIM. So do not restore the pim. And the call history will work normally again.
Is there no other way to manually modify or refresh the pim.vol file?
What else is stored in the pim.vol file?
i too have this same prob as i m using imate jasjar and have tried this with three diffrent roms even one from the official imate site but still it does not clears out on its own ne new leads on this coz i think as the list grows up it uses the memory space .
Ne light on this issue ?
With SK Tools you can Purge or Compact the call history.
Sk Tools is not free though
which version of sktools are you running?
version 3.0.60.0
see s-k-tools.com
Phone->Call History->Menu->Call Timers
Delete call history items older than: <<1 Week>>
<<>> is a drop down list and 1 week is the shortest period that you can keep.
Is this what you are talking about?
Yes that's what he is talking about. But when you choose a setting e.g. 1 week it will not clear itself. That is the problem he mentioned.
So is there ne other way out except using SK Tools ?
Hi,
before i take plunge to any customised ROM, i wanted to have backup of my pre-loaded ROM WM6 WWE.
since backup of ROM using aWizard/ itsutils is giving error in itsutils.dll, so i tried finding original ROM (ROM version: 3.7.707.1 WWE , ROM date: 6/21/07 , Radio version: 4.1.13.30 , ExtROM version: 3.6.707.101)
Two places i found the original ROM - from ArmetisWiki page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Upgrades
and another link from google http://bbs.hz-pda.com/thread-5146-1-1.html (this looks more correct though - Mods can update this link in the wiki page)
Question:
- if any issues during upgrade of custom rom or after upgrade, i can reload my original ROM (downloaded from above links) ?
- any suggestions of fast custom ROM taking into account the small memory of HTC3300 Armetis. Lots of cool applications included is ok as i can put them in my 4GB card
Thanks in advance...
Hi,
-You can return to original PDA conditions at any time, unless you brick it , if you have the correct original ROM.
-Most of the available ROMs for Artemis are here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_DumpedRoms. My advice is to choose an updated build as light as possible, no "cubes" and heavy graphics..if you like you can "animate" your device afterwards by installing SPB Mobile Shell for example. "Lots of cool applications" are not included in the ROM,some little freeware apps may be..but they would still reside in your pda (because it is a ROM) and not in your memory card.
I think you mixed up the radio version number with the protocol's, a such radio version doesn't exist, just to make things clear. By the way,usually radio ugrades are not included in ROM, they can be flashed separately: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_RadioUpgrades
And,of course, DO NOT FORGET TO UNLOCK your device first if you intend to flash a cooked ROM or radio (read and execute super-carefully the related threads) or you could get into serious trouble.
Good Luck!
Hi,
Thats what i wanted to know, does the 2nd link ( http://bbs.hz-pda.com/thread-5146-1-1.html ) seems to have the correct ROM which can bring back to life my ARTE100 (if bricked or stoned by chance)
Yeah u're right - Radio version got mixed with protocol (radio interference )
Radio version: 02.69.90 - i think i'll update the Radio though i hardly listen...
SPB Mobile shell i have already installed - its cool...
I couldn't understand - "freeware apps may be..but they would still reside in your pda (because it is a ROM) and not in your memory card." as i installed few games/ applications like Total Commander, they gave an option to install in storage card and i clicked that. i checked also if i remove memory card, the links of Total Commander or other games don't work.
though i understand that SPB Mobile shell takes up memory as it loads in memory on startup and stays alive...
thanks
cool.. just now i found upgraded Original ROM from another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320419
downloaded and kept safe...
Ok, original ROM for your device (MUST be the one you had when you bought you Artemis)) taken from xda is a more secure choice.
The "radio" we are talking about is the GSM module, not the FM radio and its upgrade can greatly improve phone reception and battery consumption.
Maybe I was the first between us not to understand what you were meaning by "cool applications".I wanted to say that they are not included in a ROM, you have to install them separately, if you have them..or buy them .
Mobile Shell takes up RAM,of course, but our device can support it well, especially version 2.0..in my opinion it'more handy for Artemis but it's up to you to test which version you are more confortable with. Moblie Shell MUST be installed on phone memory, not memory card..other applications can be put in the memcard.
Hi all,
I am not sure if here is the right place where to place my question, but I try...
After I buyed a Blackstone with:
ROM Version 1.13.401.0 (20428)ITA
ROM Date 10/25/08
Radio Version 1.09.25.14
Protocol Version: 52.49a.25.26W
I installed a navigation software (OziExplorerCE), and with my great pleasant surprise I noted that after I launched it, even if I place the device in Stand-by mode (brief push on Power button), the program was continuing to work regularily (included gps connection of course).
So, when I was pushing again the power button to power-on the device, I was founding that while in the Stand-by status, OziExplorer have continued to work exactely as the normal (display-on) status, also writing road-track in the file.
I found this behaviour very useful in some case.
After I Updated the Rom (official) with :
ROM Version 1.56.401.0 (43972) WWE
ROM Date 03/06/09
Radio Version 1.13.25.24
Protocol Version 52.62,25.34U
I re-installed again the same program, but I noted that when I place the device in stand-by status, it stop to work (may be it lose gps connection??).
I am very sorry for this behaviour, and I hope that someone can help me on how to come-back to the previous behaviour.
Of course, I don't know if the different behaviour is caused by some change in the ROM or something that must be modified in the registry (I hope so).
I must also add that I noted another difference:
With the previous Rom, when I was launching OziExplorer, I was noting that also ActiveSync was present in the "active processes" list.
While with the new Rom, when I launch OziExplorer, I not find ActiveSync to be active.
Thanks
