Latest release v2.91 supports WM5, here:-
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=7325
But the compatibility does not show the Universal.
Anybody tested it?
Thanks
I think they did
"NEW: Support for Windows Mobile 5 XSCALE PDA's:
Support for HP iPAQ hx24xx, hx27xx, Dell Axim x51v, x50v, o2 XDA II executive WM5 PDA's. Other generic WM5 XScale PDA's should most likely work too."
but the wrong description fro XDA Exec :lol:
RE
Yes, you're right!
Now, whats the best setting without going into a soft/hard reset?
I've just tried it - it doesn't work!
It goes into a flickering black or white screen (even with the flicker preventation option on) and only a soft resets solves the problem.
Are you sure? I installed the latest version (2.91) in my Qtek 9000 and it works great. I even overclocked it to 624MHz with no problems so far...
I haven't used the auto function yet, cause I haven't bought it.
anyone else tried this? essential for reading an ebook and getting extended battery life
I'm certain. I downloaded the trial version of 2.91 from PocketGear and it didn't work - flickering white or black screens and no response from the buttons or screen taps.
I have a 2 week old XDA Exec. PHM works fine.
Did not work
It did not work for me either. Screen just flickered with alternating black and white bars.

Mine worked fine a few times, even TCPMP said my JasJar was running at 628Mhz, then I soft reset my device, started it up again, and I'm getting lots of pretty black scrolling lines whenever I use it again to increase the speed.
Looks nice, but does hamper my use of the JJ ever so slightly :!:
Tried it, was ok until I put the speed up, putting it down to 200mhz was ok though
Not working
As soon as I apply any higher speed (than 520), the screen starts flickering or goes blank (whether I check the screen flicker filter or not), and the device freezes
(I have the full registered version)
From what I see I'm the only one with Qtek 9000 Rom installed who used it with no problems. Perhaps the problem has something to do with the jasjar rom? :?:
Working perfectly on my XDA Exec @624, with a very appreciable speed increase - a large excel file I use frequently opened 3 seconds faster than at the base speed.
Just-bearable flicker @663, grey screen and soft reset @7xx.
Ditto on the funny lines on the screen on my MDA pro. Does it within 3 seconds of being started up. No speed changes are nessesary. Soft reset required to fix it.
I'm a registered user so its not just the trial version that fails. I shall email developer see if he has any ideas.
Uninstalled!!

@RobT: I'm thinking of using it for the same thing - have you done a soak test (as it were) to see what kind of difference to battery life it makes? I'm thinking leave the backlight on and see what the tail off is over, say, an hour.
My Uni doesn't get opened until the 25th so I can't test it myself yet...
On the up-side, I'm looking forward to Christmas as if I were a kid again
I got a fail here using O2 Exec ~~ Screen turn either flicker or white and the only thing I can do is soft reset as well
RE
WOW!
I'm running 624 MHz on my QTEK 9000 and watching full screen movie using TCPMP
So far I'm not experiencing problems llike those reported
Have to use it for a couple more days to verify its stability
:lol:
I have the same flicker problem, try Pocket Hack Master Instead.
RE
Ok guys,
Detected problems now
My QTEK 9000 refused to power on. Took out and re-insert the battery and then it can be powred on.
Next, upon startup flickering occurs and the unit hang. Had to soft reset and stop XCPUScalar running before unit flickers and hang.
Uninstalled XCPUScalar finally.
Well, XPUScalar works perfectly at 624Mhz as long as I plug my JJ into a power source, which leads me to the (probably incorrect) conclusion, that the JJ speed settings are set to "Auto" by default, and switch to "Full speed" when you stick a power source into it.
(That would explain the performance increase that people noticed in a thread a couple of months back, when they had their JJ's plugged in...)
Now I'm off to learn how to hack the kernel of a PPC so that I can change the default power setting to full speed.....see you all in a couple of years or so (!)
EDIT: Yep, after a bit more playing around, XPUScalar causes a crash soon as you unplug the power source, but it will run perfectly as long as you have a LOT of programs open before you start it. So if the internal cpu management is telling the JJ to run at full speed then everything's hunky-dory, but as soon as it starts trying to 'manage' the CPU itself, everything goes the way of the pear.
I just played with my old Wizard (now my wife's) and I just realised it comes on much faster from standby than my Hermes.
The Wizard's screen illuminates instantly (or near enough) when the Power button is pressed whereas my Hermes takes up to two seconds.
Anyone else notice this? Can it be fixed?
The wifi may explain this; when it is activated the tytn take a little longer to wake up. As I dont have any wizard I cannot speak about that kind of device.
The Hermes powersave mode is a strange beast. They've always been this way. I noticed it immediately too when I switched from my 8125. Also, A2DP shuts down in powersave mode and return from powersave always forces portrait mode.

Not for me! What did I wrong?
I agree. There was an earlier post on that. My Wizard was switching on much faster. The Hermes takes a while to switch on. On the today screen I only have the phonealarm. Frankly wizard felt much faster than hermes.
Yes, the Wizard powers on the screen faster, but I find that it's slow for a second or two. My Hermes takes a second, but I've never seen it anything other than ready to go at that point. Of course, it could be differences in loaded software, etc.
Still, any difference there pales in comparison to the speed in general use. Rotating the screen is a 1 second thing instead of 5.
Is the speed issue due to WM5's spec requiring the use of flash RAM rather than standard RAM to save data loss on a flat battery?

Both the Wizard and Hermes run WM5.
In addition to these theories I've noted in a previous post that having either of the lock/password protection options enabled gives you a second or so of white screen when bringing out of standby.

Ok... cough up the reghack plz.....
This one's been aggravating me for some time now! It's especially annoying when I'm using my BT keyboard since I always place my TyTN onto the stand landscape oriented.
Hello,
As the way things are going it seems that T-Mobile USA might be using this phone as the successor to the MDA (HTC Wizard).
Any one with this phone can comment on the performance ? ALso are there any WM6 roms for this phone ? Any one knows about the plans for WM6 on this phone. Or anything else that any one can comment on this phone. Perhaps some one had a Wizard and now using the Herald and can compare both now ? Thank you in advance.
I really enjoy my phone. It works perfectly for everything that I need it to work for.
As far as WM6 there is no ROM that I am aware of yet. But O2 is releasing this phone with WM6 on it so it will only be a matter of time.
What about e-book reading? I've heard that there is a problem with back-light levels. First, that it is not possible to turn it off completely and then that the first level is far too dark and the second far too bright.
I haven't used it for ebooks yet.
Thats true that you are not able to completly turn off the backlight, but I don't see why you would even need to do this?
In a dark room at the lowest level I can see screen just fine, the next level is a little brighter. To some people this might matter quite a bit but to me so far I havn't been bothered by it.
One thing that bugs me sometimes is the blue LED that flashes when Bluetooth is turned on, it's really really bright. If I am in a room with no lights and look directly at it when it flashes it hurts.
I am thinking about putting together a video of this phone. Might take me a couple days but do you guys think that it would be beneficial to the community?
It would be, yes. But yu can also have a look at youtube.com. There are some Reviews already...

Yes please and thanks for the reply.
Also how is internet browsing ? Is it fast using the wifi ? or edge ?
The wifi works just fine. I can't test the EDGE for you cause we do not have edge coverage here in holland. I'm using my wifi in combination with the opera browser, works smooth, this page was loaded in 5 seconds.
Performance is very good! I had a Magician with 400Mhz CPU, but the Herald responds much faster. All my programs works at the same speed, no problems. TomTom works great. Wonderful device, best buy ever! It works very comfortable!

Hey mackaby007,
How could you move from Universal Crossbow to Athena at the moment? I find that for a few days of using crossbow, it's exceptionally responsive, also it's a better and more stable ROM compared to WM5. I noticed right away the extra performance and fast synchronization, Better multiple SMS features, No Longer memory Leak problem(So I don't have to keep soft resetting), Reliable Installing/Uninstalling software, Elimination of occasional pauses problem.
Just the mean of justifying Athena purchase now.

I agree too WM6 on UNIVERSAL is really good, but there are things Universal can't do, but Athena could! e.g. GPS, extra Rom, Micro Drive, bigger screen.
Personally, i really thing the 5 inch screen is a plus, you can fit so much more info on one screen, i used to think Universal screen is big enough, but after using Athena for almost a month, Universal's screen look really quite small to me.
And also i think the design and built quality of Athena is better then Universal as well.

Perfectly said Wu. Just to add to that.....WM6 is a great O/S, which makes the Universal great for a while longer.....but Athena blows it clean out of the water in every way!! Therefore Athena (best device IMHO) coupled with WM6.....= cutting edge mobile technology with the richest hardware feature....simply no competition IMHO.
It's like comparing the Wizard with the Hermes....same form factor...different device/technology alltogether.

Hi Wu,
May I know how can you fit more information in one screen compared to Universal? Isn't Universal and Athena essentially the same resolution 640x480, therefore technically you see the same amount of information only bigger size?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks,

yes that is basically right, but don't forget because Athena has bigger screen, you can really change the font size to smallest and is still visible, (so small font in Athena = Medium font in Universal). This way you can fit more info on one screen, you can also change the icon and everything to smaller one.
For opera it's the same, browsing through internet is so much better now.

The next of my concern would be the battery life. How much better is the battery life in Athena compared to Universal? Let say if you work on documents with lowest backlight on continuously in universal would last you for 5 hours but perhaps 8hours in Athena?
Thank you guys for the encouragement.

i would say Athena's battery is truly amazing, personally i think it's much better then Universal. I have not work on documents that much on my Athena, but for day to day normal usage (read news, make calls, send message, play games, GPS), with Bluetooth and 3G always on, with backlight set to highest, it can easily last for 1 day.
Stand by time is good too, i have my athena beside me when i go to bed (battery level is 70%) . Wake up in the morning and is still 70% !
I have virtually every device that HTC have made; So far the Athena (My one is a dopod U1000) is the best so far. It is by far the most usable that i have come across. The screen is Wow and best of all the phone is so dam stable. BT works across all profiles, all my software works, I am a heavy user of the phone both voice and data, I must admit as a very heavy user by the time i get home my battery is like around 40-50%, possibly also because all my apps are on the microdrive. (TomTom runs so fast installed on the MD that when i installed the Maps on the SD card the difference was unacceptable compared to the MD) TBH when i got my Universal it was a little disappointing (way too slow did not support HSDPA), and no soon as the TYtn was released i upgraded. The tytn is also a great phone but the screen size is too small compared to the Universal. The Athena Rocks! best HTC device I have had so far..
i agree with you faisal. I do a lot of remote oncall support for my office and my athena has now completey replaced my bulky laptop, allowing me to connect to my office whenever, wherever I am.
The athena offers a much better and user friendly screen size, although much bigger than the tytn, its size certainly outweighs the annoyance of having to scroll all the time.
To most people the athena is massive but after using it for a week i find myself liking it more and more, as I have said it has now more or less reduced my on call laptop to a brick in the corner gathering dust.

Hey faisal, nice to hear you enjoy your device so much, me too here ! just wonder when you say you install all app on Micro drive, do you come across any problem at all? any more battery drain? And also when you say TomTom on MD is much faster, how much faster is it? I have install mine on SD and it seems really fast as well. (e.g. Load up TomTom in 5 sec, GPS signal in 10 sec, route planning in 7 sec).
After all, will you suggest me to move all my app to MD?

Wu5262 (got it right this time.) I have not had any issues yet running software from MD, even spb shell, which should be installed on main memory works perfectly installed to MD. In regards to TT6, you will notice the difference when switch to browsing the map, play about with the zoom and pull the map up and down, you will notice it redraws much quicker when run from MD compared to SD. As virtually everything runs from MD there is more drain. Average usage (I use HSDPA a lot, do a lot of browsing with opera and use Sling box viewer an average of 2 hours a day so thats streaming TV via HSDPA, an average of around 10-15 txt and at least a total of 45min worth of calls (not all at once)) with 100% charge at the start of the day by the time I get back from work around 6.30 7.00 pm, my battery indicator is between 50-60%. I have not found it an issue yet where I get worried that i may not have enough charge to last till the end of the day. For back up I use WM5storrage to mount the drive and then run a Robocopy script which does differential copies, so I do a backup every day of my MD which takes on average less than 2 minutes every day.

thanks for the info, i will keep that in mind, maybe next time when i upgrade i will install everything to MD.
One more question, do you have any issue with spb mobile shell? does your spb menu load up correctly? mine one don't load up straight away, i need to point here and there to get it to work. when it finally loads up, all my sound is gone.
I have heard other people having the same issue as well, might to do with landscape VGA. Anyway, i have disable the spb Menu to load up from startup folder and only use the mobile shell plugin.
Your one working with spb menu?

Hi faisal, when you installed your Tomtom did you let it auto start from the SD card and then copy everything over to your MD or did you use Activesync to move all the setup files to your MD first?
Yes, I have to agree U1000 is so damn stable. It's probably the most stable and the most problem free out of many PDA's that I have used before. It's much more stable than Universal. And that's for sure. All my softwares are indeed working flawlessly. Bugs problems that I used to experience under Universal WM5 seemed to have already been ironed out completely. It's the most mature WM5, which is very impressive IMO.
At the moment, I'm reluctant to upgrade to WM6 in June unless they offer similar stability which I doubt it after knowing Microsoft for a long time.
Well I was having a lot of problems with Universal WM6 and Vista, Office 2007, WDMC. Synchronization problems, Slow Word processing problems, partnership problems, Contact notes disappearance and many others...
I'm so happy that I bought U1000 after so many considerations.

I want to overclock my 8525 as it's really been slow lately, and I've read a lot of threads about PocketHackmaster not working correctly and xcpu scaler not being correct for our CPU, etc, etc.
But I came across some good feedback on the HTC Performance cab working very well on Apache and some other HTC phones to make them work a lot faster with little noticable drop off on battery life, and I wanted to see if anyone knows if this overclocking cab will work safely on our 8525's before I tinker with it (I don't want to risk a hard reset).

If you search on google, you can find there are a few posts saying you shouldn't be doing this, if you want to have a longer battery and a longer life of your device. If you want to upgrade in the next 3 to 6 months why not, try it out. Here is the file, ... I would not go near it, happy enough to use my current ROM the way it is.
Check this post what it did to the kaiser.
Here is the cab for those who's willing to try.

I did a Google search on overclocking after going thru XDA first, and came across this thread on PPC Geeks: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=11573
I've tried xpu scaler before and didn't see any difference (and subsequently read a couple threads saying it wasn't made for the Samsung CPU in our 8525's), so I wanted to see if there was another one out there that could reliably upgrade the speed of the 8525.
I may give this one a whirl and let you know unless anyone has any other suggestions on one I should try instead...
Ok, so I've been running this HTC Performance cab for a few days now on my 8525, and I definitely think it's running smoother with it on (I was just messing around turning it on and off and went to the same programs, etc, and I see a noticable difference in how fast things are opening and closing)
I have it set on 520 mhz 'maximal cpu speed', with 'enable dynamic cpu frequence changing' checked
I haven't had a chance to check battery life as I was playing around most of yesterday installing a new spb pocket plus program and messing with adding icons, etc, but I'll report back and let you know if I notice anything different with battery life as well.

forgive me but how do you install this cab or how do you work it just to try it you know please get back to me
I installed it on my Dopod 838pro running Schaps 4.30 yesterday.
Nothing happened for a while.
No menu or shortcut to activate the speed up either.
When I got home last night, the Dopod is practically dead!
It would power on & flicker out before it completely boots up.
Luckily, I had my firiend's old Dopod in my drawer.
Took a charged battery from the spare and my 'bricked' Dopod came to life.
But died again later that night.
Hard resting it did no good either.
Looks like it flattens the battery & then refuses to charge it!
Today, I put another freshly charged battery, booted it and flashed in Satin Normal.
Right now, it is connected to my notebook and when turned on shows the battery as slowly charging. Hope it stays fixed!
I recommend all folks avoid this patch!
Stay tuned!
Phew!
After waiting anxiously overnight, it appears that re-flashing my ROM (from Schaps 4.30 to Black Satin Normal) seems to have fixed my problem.
Battery is still at 90%!
