ATOM Issues...

Does anyone know how to stop the ATOM from changing the view to landscape each time the camera button is selected?... been the same on all roms and the button is assigned to the camera only yet when pushed it flicks the screen sideways, then when exiting it goes back portrait - its annoying and i'd like to stop it...
Also with the *leaked* rom anyone know how to get the clock back up the top instead of the battery indicator which doesnt change no matter how charged the phone is?..
FTR... the 3second delay patch works on *Leaked* rom with MP3's as well as other formats..
Cheers

XDA Atom - Issues with new rom
I've just switched from the XDA2i to the Atom and am starting to wish I didn't. I bought this phone on ebay.com/au and it was only 2 wks old, the chap said he no longer needed it for work....probably got hacked off with it being so buggy.
I'm running the new 20060217b1wwe rom with the radio r060221n_mn1arc_rs00045 as the old rom (one which came pre loaded) constantly froze and needed soft re-setting.
The issues I'm having are as follows:
1. When phone is in standby after a few mins the green led stops flashing and it no longer accepts incoming calls and goes straight to voicemail until I press the power button, it then searches for a network and the green light flashes again.
2. When listening to the radio there is a constant buzz in the background.
3. Sound only comes out of the right headphone ( I've seen in another post that this has happened to others, a suggested 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter was the fix. Surley the headphone which comes with it should work properly!!)
Also are there any updates which sets the phone up with UK settings and not Australian defaults
Why do O2 release phones without fully testing it....it hacks me off.......Anyway if someone could help me out with my above problems before I launch it from the 15th floor of my office building that'll be great

Me too. I've got an Atom few days ago and using same rom and radio as yours. I find 3 problem with it:
1. Green led stops flashing
2. Battery lasted so quick, usually have to re-charge after 10 hours (with only 1 hours talk time, no bluetooth, infrared and wifi.
3. Wi-fi is buggy. After connected, it auto disconnected .
I'll try to re-flash ROM.
Does anyone can help.

I hope you have seen the new ROM (test only) on ftp? Follow the link in the Atom Upgrading section

Did you try "not for sale" version? I'm downloading...

my issues with the Atom
Hi all
I have been using the XDA IIi for the last 1 and 1/2 years, and got this present from myboss...an ATOM. I dont have the same problems, but some are similar I guess.
1.After I receive an MMS, the phone stays connected to the Internet, or rather connected to GPRS/EDGE. After successful downloading, it remains connected. Any ideas why? in the IIi it disconnects after downloading, and also if my browser remains inactive for some time.
2.Synchronization is terrible. Most of the time, when i plug in to sync, there will be an error, then i unplug and plug it back, it may sync. this is terrible. Im using active sync 4.1
3. This terrible phone needs awful lot of reseting. Even to check the System info, i needed to reset the bugger.
4. This is very very slow.. and battery power drains so much. Im only using SPB pocket plus 3.1.1 the oly external software running on the Atom.
My Rom version
20060123B1WWE
Radio version
R060221N_MN1ARC_ RS00045
Aprrecite if any one could advise.
cheers

SPB pocket plus is known to conflict with atom performance.
By the way why have you not updated your ROM to any of the non-official ones floating around? First was the Leaked ROM, and just 2 days ago came the Test ROM, which, in my personal opinion, is tops so far.

Thanks victoradjei for the update.
So guess ill have to remove the SPB for now.
Actually i havn't been around the forum, so have not got real updates from here. Will follow it up.
By the way, is the performance better with the new ROMs.
cheers

the not for sale rom is the best so far!!!try it!

No Sound coming from left earphone.....
Since I posted my issues above i've found that most of my issues were to do with my virgin payg sim. When I inserted my works vodaphone sim I had no connection issues at all. All other quirks seem to have disappeared too....with the exception of the headset problem. I only get sound from the right headset and also I can not use with microphone on the headset either.....I purchased the 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter and bought some new headphones but to no avail.....Does anyone else have this problem if so how was it resolved??

My Atom green led stop flashing after few minute - always ON (offcouse it is network registered). Is it normal ? Like other HTC green led must flashing when registered to network.

Er, did u upgrade from a previous ActiveSync? Remove the ActiveSync installation totally (Even the residual files), and perform a clean install of ActiveSync 4.1.
I find that the old files of ActiveSync sometimes conflict with ATOM synchronization...dunno why.
Hope this helps.

wifi performance vs kaiser/tilt

Hey guys and gals,
I have used a tilt for the past week or so, and I'm realizing that my 8525 may have issues. I am on campus with lots of access points that are hidden for the most part with WEP security, and while the tilt never had any issues, my 8525 likes to drop the profile. While it's trying to connect, it will ask me for the WEP key again saying that it's incorrect, and if I dismiss that notification, it deletes the profile.
Am I the only one with this issue?
Thanks,
Joel

probably the ROM version...
what ROM are you using?

I am using the latest VP3G, 3.62.3, but if I remember correctly, the problem occurred in the WM5 rom from AT&T as well as the cooked WM6 I'm using now.
The radio version has not been touched that I know of -- it's still 1.16.

Anyone? Advice on what radio ROM to use, or would that fix the issue?

If your asking to upgrade the radio version for wifi performance, then don't because the radio has nothing to do with hermes wifi... Maybe a new os rom as mentioned will help...

I have the same exact problems with my 8525. My 8525 drops networks while my Tilt doesn't.

Mine had the same issue, i just upgraded to a different rom and it's fixed.

i had a similar issue but only when bluetooth was turned on as well. So when i want to use wifi i have to turn bluetooth off.
It didnt matter what ROM I was using.

Can anyone that switched roms confirm that they weren't using bluetooth all the time?
Turning on and off bluetooth is a major pain, but not as bad as having to drop another ROM on my phone
Thanks guys!

titan bluetooth issues?

i know certain htc phones have had issued with bluetooth, and was wondering if the titan is/was effected by this.
i have an htc p4000(telus) and when i try sending pics and such via bluetooth it says sending, then even if the person agrees to receive, mine says failed.. and they stop getting the file, tried this with 3 different phones, same thing everytime.
im using nueROM v2 build 5022. wm 6.1

a simple yes or no would be nice..

http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1052622/P4000+Bluetooth+issues%3B+Mogul+got+their+fix...what+about+Telus%3F?t=anon
hmmmm...
so i guess there is no fix right now?
or is there?

anyone?

Yeah a fix would be very important for me as I have the Jabra BT620S's and they sound great on other devices. However, the main device I use it for is for my phone. I actually had another phone that is for sale, and it worked perfectly on it, but this phone sucks with it. It skips every couple of seconds.

well, i was able to beam a couple pics today, but its seems like 3/5 or higher just drops the file and says failed.
ive heard that for the headsets you can get working by making your phone detect as a smartphone instead of a pda.

Using no2chem's nueROM build 5042 (as of last night). I have my Jabra JX-10 bluetooth headset working so far...I'll test the send file thing later with my other PDA's when I get home later.
<EDIT> Incidentally...did you manage to do a OTA PRL update on your p4000? (i.e. *22803, PRL update) I wasn't actually able to do that until I manually loaded another PRL... </EDIT>
verkion

yes, I was able to do the *22803 then press #1.
Oh by the way I'm using the custom Telus rom by a1jatt at the moment with the latest radio. 3.27.00 etc.

prl?
w/e it is im guessing i havnt done it

im using the newest build of nuerom now (5042) so im not sure if the bluetooth issue is fixed yet, im ordering a bluetooth adapter and well see if it works :S

Hi, thanks for response

question...do you have the problem that the x1's bluetooth is turning off randomly?

yes I have had the bluetooth problem and also my email signature keeps going back to the default one which is annoying.

Same problem
I have exactly the same problem. The bluetooth connection gets lost. And sometimes my phone has according to the HCB-700 an empty callers list.

This problem seems to have gone away since the rom update that is floating around as I had it until I put on Jack's 2.4 rom easily available on this forum.

problem with HCB 700 and X1
I have same problem of bluetooth turning off randomly and disconnecting from the HCB 700. This is so annoying.. what should I install? Please advise.

The rom update!!!!!!!!

Could you please tell me how to do it and which one to use and where can i find it? Do i need to backup all the data on the device?

Switch to the rom development forum and choose a rom. Follow the instructions to install for one of the unofficial (but better) roms.
In certain countries you can get official updates from SE too.
Yes you will need to backup your data unless you keep it on a storage card as I do.

Hd2 Telstra ROM 1.72.841.0 (82124)

Hi All
I need some help with my HD2.
Today I upgraded from stock rom to latest as version as on HTC website
I can't recall old version, anyway I am having an issue with this radio version which is 2.07.51.22_2
My exchange activesync keeps disconnecting, so my emails are arriving 3-4 minutes later.
I guess my question is?
Can i go back to older radio version without flashing, or worse case scenario could i downgrade to older rom?
I need some help guys.
Thanks

I am downloading now... Will try when down.

I cannot help you there, but have you tried sending a SMS? did you get a stupid notification of message being sent? I am trying to figure out a way to deactive.... No luck yet, waiting for HTC response

As for the Data sync I have had no issue as yet. I have found it a tad more reliable than 1.49. But I have only done a whole 2 hrs of testing

What a pain, so yours work ok, do you use activesync with an exchange server?
That's where my problem is.
It disconnects every few minutes, which obviouslyconsumes more battery power.
As for the sms sent notification I dont mid it.
I may downgrade to original rom, is it safe?
Thanks

Sorry I should have clarified. I link mine with my Exchange 2010 Server. I am getting emails as wanted.
That said I still can't sync SMS. Which is soemthing HTC is looking at and I haven't heard back in a while. I should email them to chase them up.

Hmm, I may try a hard reset tomorrow then.
Thanks

Hi there, having exactly the same issue, did you find a solution to this other than changing out the ROM? Greatly appreciate your posts.

Telstra ROMS on HD2 are stuffed!
I've heard from a mate who works in Telstra ROM development that the HD2 images are not fully tested.. and therefore go to market with communications flaws.. eg every time you try and sync your mail or use as a shared internet device it struggles as the radio version is substandard to the rest of the Image.
Do yourselves a favour.. HSPL it... Find one of the wonderful roms that the guys/gals on here do.. and you will love using the hardware you have purchased. The HD2 is so powerful and should not be ruined by Telstra's lame attempt at a ROM.
Seems they have put way more effort into the Android ( desire ) but its still no HD2.

Yep fixed it, apologies forgot to post solution for my issue.
After trying reflashing with new ROM, downgrading to old ROM and still having same issue, that's right after downgrading...
It clicked, see I bought device and started using activesync after about 2 months.
Before that, I had an issue with my 3G internet connection not working at all.
Weather updates, internet access, hotmail emails etc.
To fix that other issue I had to create a new internet connection.
By the time I got to use activesync I had a new internet connection, I was not using stock telstra connection.
Therefore to fix on new ROM version I created a new connection, and magically started working up to now with no issues.
And it is true telstra are bloody hopeless at testing pre-releasing ROMs.
If you need more information let me know.
Thanks

Would greatly appreciate any help in two areas:
- firstly my HD2 internet stuff is nor working at present. Clicking many of the BigPond links just brings up IE with wap.telstra.com/wap?..... and ends up just sitting there until timeout. Can you post details for setting up new internet connection that fixed this.
- which ROM did you go to. Hw did you load this. I cannot get my HD2 to connetc to Win7 x64 WMDC. Can't even see any mention of the device in the device mgr, though it did say it saw it at ones stage. Reading numerous posts - seems to be a lot of people having issues in this space..

Ok.. have to say, the wap.telstra addresses are all old and many are discontinued. All those apps are simply web shortcuts that should point to a m.bigpond address.
Firstly.. you need to do a few things..
1) You will need to HSPL your phone- ( like flashing a bios ) I just used the hspl.zip.. Instructions are easy and straight forward, make sure you follow them perfectly.
2) Flash your radio to something better i did the 2.10 ( Again.. instructions need to be followed.)
3) I then had a look and found a rom on the forum ( energy GTX ) which seems to have all i want and is fast.. after you flash it.. reboot it.. and it will autoconfigure to the Telstra network.. and BINGO.. FAST Phone!!

Hey there, thanks for this. With the new 1.72 ROM the Telstra inbuild connection set ups seem to work, can browse internet and activesync will connect when I prompt it OK (with 1.49 I had to setup a new connection with Phone line (GPRS) and telstra.wap manually (via the Telstra tech's)). I have two HD2's one running 1.49 (with this manual config) and the other 1.72 with inbuilt Telstra config's - the delay problem u described with email arriving 3 or 4mins later is still happening on 1.72 despite it appearing to connect fine, almost like the message from the exchange server is being ignored. Watching Activesync on the 1.72 when I know there is new email and there is this odd sequence, seems to check and recheck emails 2 or 3 times when just one new email has arrived but doesn't seem to pick up the trigger from the Exchange Server that new email has arrived? Does this delay still happen for you, what connection configuration did you select? Thanks v.much.

I want to know what are the real benefits or improvements on upgrading the ROM on Telstra branded HD2? Because I bought an new, unlocked HD2 from a clearance shop in Melbourne and had been into it for just 2 days. Bening a long time WM user, I got used to it and it really seems to work without any problems at the moment, so does the new ROM brings some dramatic improvements, new and fanastic functions or what? I am not after cosmetic things at all, need to know real benefits comared to old ROM.

Thanks, almost sold on this path at this point given the headaches, was reluctant to head down this HSPL path, is there a good reference for setting up a custom ROM specifically for Telstra's network?

Activesync usually never works with the standard Telstra connection in the HD2 Telstra ROM.
As far as im aware, it is set up to go through a Telstra proxy server, which doesn't allow the Activesync traffic.
You must set up your own stock standard connection to telstra.internet APN. Which bypasses the proxy that they have on their preloaded connection. You will however not be able to use the Telstra internet shortcuts to My Account, BigPond etc, as they require authentication with their proxy server.
So as far as I have found, with the stock Telstra HD2 ROM its a case of either one or the other: your activesync working, or your Telstra links working.

I'd like a response to this too as I'm looking at HD2 Android and need a radio upgrade from for it to run, but don't want to lose Telstra Rural coverage. The HD2 is a great device, but few Winmo6.5 app developments compared to Android or iphone.
