MDA Pro locks up unexpectadly!! Anyone else had this experience? My wifes MDA Pro for no apparent reason freezes or lock-up 2 - 3 times a day and then requires a soft-reset to be operational again. I every other aspect, it works perfectly, it's just those damn lock-ups. It results in missed calls etc, as the phone is then out of action and one wouldn't be aware of it until you pick it up to use it.
Have exchanged this phone twice in 2 weeks because of it! I believe it's the ROM, even though when not locked-up, it performs extremely well. I am considering flashing the ROM with the Jasjar Rom, as this is now stable.
Anyone tried and had success in doing this, and if so, how do you find it after the upgrade?
Extended rom not installed - no lock up so far
I had the same issue. A couple of lock ups per day. I decided to do a hard reset and when it tried to install the apps of the extended rom after the hard reset, I prevented this by soft resetting the MDA Pro.
Currently only the standard apps of WM5 is installed. So far I have not had any lock ups.

Hi simba:Thanks for the response.
That's great that you no longer suffer these issues of 'lock-ups', but do you know exactly what .cabs are omitted from install? The reason I ask, is that when you do this process on the jasjar ROM, you loose 3G video calling and the dialler skin. Have you noticed anything like that as yet?
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately I can not answer your question. I do not use 3G video calling. Also I did not missed any apps of T-mobile yet. I even noticed that without the extended rom apps, MSN is present on my MDA Pro. Probably when installing the extended rom, it removes MSN.
I have read on the forum that members have succeeded in getting the MDA Pro updated to Jasjar Rom. Be carefull tough, as your are actually 'killing' your MDA Pro and then reviving it.

Please elaborate. 'Killing the MDA Pro'? What just by flashing the ROM? :?
It's important I learn what you mean, because I'm seriously contemplating this exact move, as I'm tired of exchanging my wifes Pro for yet another one!
It's not dangerous. I am a girl and I challenge you to do it.
Anyway, if you need me to send the files that I used for flashing my MDA pro, just tell me, I could send/upload it. I keep it because *someone* (read PM) might need it later.

You're on!! :roll: The fact that you're a 'girl' means nothing to me. You're obviously a techie and that makes you one of the guys as far as I'm concerned! Had to say that....my wifes standing over me with a pick-axe :lol: Thanks for your reply. PM'd you back. About to get cracking!! :wink:
I can live with it!!
And there's me thinking it's a simple procedure like upgrading the ROM on the jasjar! Stupid me!
No way am I chancing a patched version of the ROM update and hoping I don't retire my wifes' Pro. I think we'll wait till November and use the t-mobile ROM when it comes out. Thanks all the same diana_wills. You're obviously more than just a techie....you've got bigger nuts than I'll have left if I get this wrong!

Yes there is at least 40MB storage space, but no 3G video calling! What else is missing from the omitted cab installation? I noticed a performance boost as well when not installing the extRom, but without knowing for sure what is left behind, I've had to revert to the full ROM.
There isn't anything missing apart from the t-mobile ****e!
All programs etc are there
Quick tip... I found that If you let the first two cabs install THEN press reset as the third one is loading, you'll have video calling and intellidialler back, but nothing else from the ExtROM. (This is on my JasJar, can't guarantee this'll work on the MDA Pro)
Hope this helps...
Thanks sub69. From my observations of hard resetting the MDA Pro, there seem to be some vital cabs being installed later on in the install, hence my reason for reverting to the full t-mobile ROM.
One thing i noticed by avoiding the cabs install was that my device had no mms support at all, neither in inbox or programs.
Where can you download the t-mobile roms when they are available, is there a site like my-xda ?
Adam
I just updated mine to the JASJAR rom, works mint now!
Has MSN and skype too!
Also you can select network when u set it up, and it installs all mms settings!
Right,
Firstly do a hard reset, hold the com button and the voice button, soft reset etc..
Let the O2 Extended rom run and install the mms and GPRS settings so your phone will be configured then when it gives you the option as to what type of install you require, Opt for the Corporate install and use the passcode 0506
This has worked on my XDA and is nice and quick without the O2 active Junk
Gav
Anyone else tried this ? Am waiting for my xda mini s and would like to know the best way to install.
Will it already be pre installed and I will have to hard reset to get a different type of install or the first time you boot does it always ask what type of install you want ?
As an added question, how much faster is the device without the O2 stuff ? I mean is it negligable or does it really help the device to whip along ?
Makes a decent paperweight with the O2 stuff installed but that's about it
i'm not sure its that bad. most of the people in this forum are experts. the o2 software might be nice for new users. I ran it for a bit and it was sort of ok, but I got rid of it in the end.
heh I'm lovin the wireless action in my house typin this from the comfort of my bed. well I've been playing round with the different types of install since I got my phone on tuesday. had the o2 software on there for all of about 10 minutes as really its something to be desired. I read about the differen ways to install the phone so firstly I went for the basic install after doing a hard reset. The speed of the phone wasn't too bad and coped with the pre installed apps ok. however I'm sure there was some o2 stuff lurking round somewhere as each time you booted up it would say the o2 apps haven't initilized. so next I followed the advice of a few people doing the hard reset and a soft reset before the o2 extended rom kicked in. this method certainly got rid of the o2 software but also the gprs settings and the mms editer were not installed. I spose you could set up these manually but seeing as I couldt find the settings I was a bit stuck. so finallly I done another hard reset and went for the corporate mode. I tried the same password as to what has been used for the blue angel 0506 as my work collegue did this the other day, And now I'm happy that the phone seems to be quick and will run the prograns easily and the fact that I have kept the settings for it to be used as a phone.
sorry as to your question knowles. yes you do see a good speed increase with getting rid of the o2 software and I would definitely recommend it, just seems they can't program for **** and don't make good use of the proxessor

O2 don't develop the O2 Active software, of course, so don't be too hard on them.
My tuppence worth - don't bother with corp mode, just run in "basic" mode which installs most things, but *not* Active. It does pop-up and tell you that you are not running active when you warm boot, but you can soon get rid of that. At least then you don't have to configure the GPRS settings manually...
Corporate mode is what it says - it's for corporates who almost certainly won't be using the mobile web APN. For normal use, I don't really see the benefit of using this over "basic" mode.

Second that, just choose the basic mode then delete the two O2 programs from \windows\startup and you won't even get the Active reminder then. tried all the variation myself and found this to be the best one for me.
hi guys tried doing this afternoon, reset and went through options, after confirming the gprs settings it never asked me for the type of install. Just went straight into the phone again and had all the damn o2 stuff installed, any help?
ooops my bad, seemed the install first few times mucked up. Tried it one last time and worked fine. No o2 rubbish and phone has some more space and memory and running bit faster, thanks guys.
Which way did you do it the corp mode or basic install ?
Corporate is GREAT but Basic is better after the mods
I have seen all 4 installs and despite really liking the corporate one, I have found it to be buggy. MMS doesn't work, the dialer changes on its own, GPRS is not installed (not a big deal) and other minor cosmetic issues. Basic with all the cr4p taken out is best for me and therefore a Tweaked Basic wins the day...
Prehaps I'm missing something but where is the 'send' button?
(this is probably a really stupid question!)
That's the Green phone
how to remove O2 active ui and the O2 logo from the taskbar?
ah yes found it in the end, thought it was but it wasn't working the first few times I tried for some reason. lol, so much faster without O2 bloatware!

This is what I am after doing. After doing a basic install this seems to be the only 02 thing present.
Anyone ?
I don't have anything O2 present at all (apart from the startup splash which I can't find anywhere to change!), I didn't get an option for corporate or basic (prehaps I stopped the install a little early) but it all works fine. I had to ring up O2 to get the MMS server settings though, told them what I had done and when they objected just told them they could stick their contract if they didn't give me the settings and that I would return the mini s as unfit for purpose, it seemed to work!
I feel I was justified in this as the O2 active software sometimes prevented the phone display from coming up thus preventing it acting as a phone!
I'm very new to this - got my first Mini S a couple of weeks ago. I want to know how to get the most out of it of course, but I have a question to ask about it.
If I do this hard reset, I understand that it deletes everything on the phone. I use ActiveSync, and this is supposed to back everything up. Does that mean that if I do a hard-reset, I can then restore everything from my PC (including contacts, text messages etc?)
Hey everybody,
I've been looking for a phone to replace my Verizon Centro (I love the phone, but hate the OS), and my decision has come down to the HTC Titan and the Samsung i760 - I'm pretty sure y'all can tell I'm on a budget with this. Anyways, I found a Titan on eBay with the GPS patched, upgraded to WinMo 6.5, and has is set so tethering the phone with a laptop and using it as a modem won't cost extra. I've also found one that's dirt cheap but without any patches.
Now, I've been searching the forums and found out how to do the first two. Those seem easy enough as long as I'm patient. I can not, however, find out how to deal with the tethering issue. I've tried all the search options and I haven't found it. I'm hoping someone can point me to a thread or site that talks about it.
Lastly, I'd also like to ask you all your opinions of the phone itself. It seems to have gotten good reviews, but I'd like to hear from people who actually know what their phone can do.
Thanks for your time and any help you can give me.
i just got the phone...this reply wont be of much help but i really like it...
i like the office programs and the wifi..
bit on the heavy side but quality!
hope someone can be of more use!
I've had mine for about a year and really like it. It has a lot of features that were pretty ahead of its time that are still considered high-end:
stereo bluetooth, gps, touch screen, wi-fi, camera w/ flash
After unlocking it, putting on custom ROMs and enabling aGPS, this phone will make most people happy. The biggest drawback (and this should not be overlooked) is that it only has 64MB of RAM. That's pretty meager for an otherwise very powerful phone, and causes it to lag sometimes. Running multiple programs can sometimes grind your phone to a halt. Even with that said, I love my phone and would recommend it...primarily to someone who is not afraid to be proactive about flashing your phone or being judicious with installed programs.
I would also recommend buying the "unpatched" phone. Learning how to unlock and flash will get you pretty intimate with how you phone works and why. It'll help you out in the long run, especially if something ever goes wrong. Plus, it's not terribly difficult.
And for the tethering issue, try to get your hands on the latest version of WMWifiRouter before it became a paid program. I think it's v 0.92. It turns your phone into a wireless router that shares your data connection over wifi. I use it all the time and it is fantastic.

Couldn't have said it better. I had my Titan for about a year aswell and it finally died when it feel out of my buddies truck. Luckily I had Sprint TEP so I got a Touch Pro for free. I loved my Titan though, even with the lack of ram, I was able to do anything I needed to do. I would also suggest you buy the un-patched one. Learning to do the things yourself will help you alot in the long run.
I have attached a cab of WMWifiRouter that was mentioned in the previous post and the internet sharing fix as well. Also, if you do get it, check out my site http://dwizzy130.webs.com/ to see some of the very lite on ram themes I have made that all work on the Titan.
If you have anymore questions, you can pm me or get my email on the contact me page of my site.
I hope this helps you make a decision,

Thanks for your help guys! I decided to take your advice go with the unpatched one. Believe it or not, I was able to pick it up for $65, and it included the box and everything that came with it. Now I get to spend the next 4 days obsessing over when it will get here.

Great choice! After you have activated and got the phone working on its stock version be sure to copy down all the info in your Start > Settings > System Tab > Device Information. This will be helpful later if you get in a jam, and then start flashing away using the SD-memory card method. It's just faster and easier!
As for ROM choices, you'll get varying opinions but I mostly like my phone as a PHONE first and then as a Contact/Calendar PIM second, and then everything else considered. Which is why the DCD ROM's are my favorite because it's fast and leaves me with plenty of memory to install only apps that I intend to use!
Hey everybody, it's me again. Well, my phone is supposed to arrive tomorrow, and I've got most of the files downloaded and ready to go. All I need now is a ROM to flash it with. I've spent several hours looking around, so my question now is: would flashing to 6.5 be worth it (I've read quite a bit about the memory leaks), or should I go with dcd's titan ROM 3.3.4 for 6.1? Thanks again!

Hi,
I got hooked on the 6700 (Apache) back when Qwerst was had cheapest data plan, $15.
When I had issues with the functionallity of the unit, they sent me the 6800.
I found PPC Kitchen to be the most straight-foreward and fully selectable kitchen.
Just keep in mind that some of the apps that you choose, will cause other apps to become un-available. Like AdvancedConfig, (I select it first, then I can add other apps & it will not become un-selectable, unlike finding it later in the list, after selecting other apps).
There is also a program called "QPST".
This is important to copy the information from the phone while it is stock.
If your unit comes with Windows Mobile 6.1, get it setup with your carrier first, that way CustServ. Can walk you through setting up connections on your phone.
Any way there are very many helpful people using the fourms, with verry useful information, so enjoy your experience with the XDA & PPC Kitchen & don't forget PPC Geeks too.
Feel free to pm me.

My Pure has gotten really crappy lately.
Out of nowhere, the phone takes forever to complete tasks. It took 3 minutes to open a contact to dial. It took 2 minutes to get to dial a number completely, and another 45 seconds before pushing the talk would start dialing on the network. It took me 30 seconds to open up SPB Insight. Another minute to open up Opera browser. Took 5 minutes to open up the Messaging app to try and text. Etc...
Also, it seems to not want to show me whose calling half of the time. It just plays my ringtone and the signal meter has the image of a phone on top of the bars.
I have not installed any new applications on the system in over a week. I don't have all that much installed anyway. I try to keep data on the sd card. I emptied out all messages and still no speedier.
What can be done to defrag or something to help this POS work better?
Thanks!
try a hard reset. thats what i would do.

are you using a stock rom or custom rom? i use energy roms and they all have pim backup cooked in. im sure if you just do a little looking around you will find a few different backup apps. ill see if i cant find the cab on my comp for sprite.
check this out. it will even re-install your apps for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582421&highlight=backup+app
stock rom is in use.
Yeah that application for backing up didn't work whatsoever. When it started up it went ape-crap with errors. Downloaded an update, same thing.
Any other ideas to keep from losing all of the settings, programs, etc, before hard-resetting?
yeah, lookup pim backup or sprite backup. some ppl like spb backup but i think it might cost a few bucks. im sure there are some around xda if you look, or just google those i just told you about.
Silly Question
Did you try a soft reset first before you leap to a hard reset? Just wanted to make sure as I saw no mention of simply soft reseting...

i was asuming he has already done that.
About 15 soft-resets a day with the occasional forced pulling out of the battery because it literally hangs for 5 minutes with the screen seemingly locked up waiting on something to open or close...
Just hard-reset the dang thing. Still as slow as ever. HTC has let me down for the second time.
You need to install a good task manager and find out what is running in the background.
what would be a good, free task manager to try?
Try sashimi for restorals. PIM back up is not for programs.
Well I did a hard-reset and it didn't resolve anything whatsoever. Must be device related.
But since it's bricked sort of, anyone have advice on a good, liteweight ROM to use on HTC Pure? May as well try to do that for the first time, since I'll have a replacement in a few days.
I like very little about ATT's ROM. Slim would be great.

if you are getting a warranty replacement i wouldnt flash a rom unless you want to flash it back to all stock b4 you send it in. if its insurance go ahead and flash away.
Guess I'll wait. Out of all the threads here on the matter, can anyone recommend a good thread for how to go through the steps required to get a Stock PURE flashed to another ROM?
Want to do it the easiest and best way possible.

Check my Signature. Runs at 53% mem usage all day long.
I was on the phone with T-Mobile Support (611), regarding my HD2 and the issues that I am still having with this device. The rep. stated that T-Mobile is aware of the issues on the phone and that the 1st ROM update did not resolve them all and caused some new ones.
She stated specifically this new update would resolve the issue of the device hanging after you try to wake up the phone...also, the "unreliable data connection" issue is still prevalent (I still have this problem - and I have tried everything I can think of or read about). She stated that there are other fixes that they are working on to resolve with this new update.
I could not get a solid time frame, but she stated that it should be pretty quick, given that they issued the first one within a short time frame after the HD2 release.
Now, I'm not sure if this means an upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.3, but I wouldn't count on it. I just hope it is released soon. This device is so nice and so awful at the same time. Constantly I experience little nagging issues that make using this device such a hassle.
Have you tried just flashing it to one of these custom ROMs?
No I have not yet tried the custom ROM yet on the HD2. I like the way the T-Mobile ROM are, I just am getting fed up with the "unreliable data connection" BS. Also, the phone (since the ROM update) has been running slow and I don't think that is acceptable with the 1GHz snapdragon on this device. My only other issue is that the speaker phone stops working because T-Mobile added some stupid software to the device. If you dial 611, the software pops up and tries to solve your problem via webpage and stops the speaker phone from working till you restart the device.
While that is a short list of issues, they are major issues in using the device. But I think i will wait till this 2nd update comes out...if it does not resolve my issues, custom ROM here I come!
I belive flashing NRG will solve your issues It did mine.
Which issue did it solve? The data connection issue?
Data and freezing as well not to mention the phone just flies now. flashing a new radio fixed reception issue
well I will give it a try and see if it resolves my issues as well. I figure we have about a month or so before T-mobile releases the 2nd update. I know I will not be able to last that long with these issues. It is just a pain in the a-- to flash ROMs every day...I'm not into doing it all the time. I would like to find a good stable ROM and run with it. It just takes too much time flashing and reinstalling all those programs and changing the settings to where I like them all (too much work).
Like I said it is a shame, i really like this device on paper, but in the real world is just has some serious issues. I thought i would get a year or two out of this device when i bought it, now I am already looking to swap this puppy out. I'm looking to see what is coming down the pipeline. I refuse to go with WP7 (feels like the step backwards with it limitations as compared to WM6.5 - and i don't want a device that clones the iPhone of 4 years ago)
Anyone other suggestion on custom ROMs?
NRG 21911 is very solid and you don't have to flash everyday it has xda uc and pim backup witch will back up and reinstall all your software I did it yesterday in about 20 min. I refrain from flashing during the week. the the first time it will take about an hour just read all you can on it. 670megs free space on device 13gigs on sd and 300 megs of free RAM
I'm downloading the 23121 Cookie Dinik Glass version right now...I'll let you know how it works on my device. thanks for pointing me in this direction, appreciate it!
tmobile rep told me the same thing after I had a warranty exchange, she said to expect the update soon as there are alot of people experiencing problems with the current software. Although to be honest after running Android on my HD2 I dont think I ever want to use winmo again.
are you getting everything to work with Android? i did not think they have a fully functional Android ROM for the HD2 yet
They're all the same...
My biggest complaint is the bad data connection. Paying too much money for crappy connection. I can't even get connection in my lower level of my house. I think every carrier and cell phones all have their own problems. My two co-workers, one with Droid and the other iPhone have similar problems. Droid keeps freezing 2 warranty phone exchanges so far and iPhone looses connection frequently. iPhone guy wishes his would freeze so he could get a replacement. So it's not just me.
Help me please
So i tried to install android, and on gthe web it said i needed to install hpsl well my phone had it set to 2.10 they stated i needed 2.08 or earlier so i did it but the install still didn't work !!! How can i return my phone back to 2.10 and still get my warranty back

tmobile rep told me the same thing after I had a warranty exchange, she said to expect the update soon as there are alot of people experiencing problems with the current software. Although to be honest after running Android on my HD2 I dont think I ever want to use winmo again.

i read on pocetnow that android is being worked on on xda. seen a couple of post too, but there is always some component not really working. is there an official android post where all the kinks are worked out? i would like to switch if thats the case. thanks.
Wow is all I can say about that NRG ROM....it is great! does everything I have been looking for, no data connection issues since last night (I'll report back on this issue as time goes by). It's fast and very stable (so far, but hell I'm impressed), and I did not even use most stable version the 21911.
The UI is great, I love the three pages of app slot, everything is within one or two finger stokes this way. It also gets rid of the apps that I don't want (ie TelNav, etc...) but keeps most of the apps that I do want...I can always install cabs for the programs I want from the official ROM. Plus it has cooked into it all those sweet tweaks and settings. Great work, I'm not even waiting for T-mobile to release the 2nd update any longer.
Thanks gtrplr71 again for suggesting this custom ROM, it's so nice, I don’t even think I will be trying out any other ROMs.
I would not get hopes up of a 6.5.3 upgrade. Could you imagine the Technical support nightmare if they had to troubleshoot 2 different OS versions?
This is one reason I think Android and Linux will really take off in the future.

There's a HD2 Android section in the original HD2 area (euro hd2 section).... but it is a work in progress. There are still a lot of issues and kinks. It will be a while before it works as well as a native android phone. But the progress they've made is unbelievable. It's great having both winmo and android on my phone.

your welcome don't forget to make a backup with pim backup to your sd card and use xda uc once you get things settled. Have fun!
how does the xda uc work? i could not figure that out, when I ran the app it stated that i did not have that file on my storage card...but it appeared there somehow.
Also, the incall record does not seem to work at all. when i lauch it (after I connect or before I connect a call) all I get is a blank lined page (note pad page).
And, is there a list of the added and removed apps somewhere? I could not find it in the ROM thread.
As for the 6.5.3 upgrade from T-Mobile, i don't think it will happen either and right now, after trying the NRG ROM...I don't care. I'm not even going to try the T-mobile 2nd ROM upgrade. Now with Android comes along on the HD2 (fully functional) then i will surely set up a dual boot situation on my HD2. That is like the best of both world.
(xda uc)-you wont notice anything different It will run and monitor the phone for new settings when you decide to flash a new build it will auto run and import settings and apps.
