Qtek freeze

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.

Phone hangs

Howdy
I use the exec as my phone and have a bit of an issue. I have found that the phone hangs and I don't get calls (go straight to VM ) no rings etc.
when I try to dial out it says service not available
I reset the device ad all is fine.
the only thing I can think on is Magic Button
I have uninstalled it for now to be sure.
is there a better phone to use then the one with the Exec?
I am looking for any assistance with this.
I have all my apps installed on the 1g SD card
including Ewallet, Pocket PC Bible,
I had magic button installed but since have gotten rid of it.
any other info I can provide to help in diagnosis just ask

That's strange because the O2 standard ROM (AKU 2) is usually quite stable and quick. I wonder if the problem may lie in running your apps from SD card (which tends to be slower than the internal memory unless the card is fastand reliable) - maybe this is slowing the phone down and causing it to miss calls.
A number of suggestions - try first uninstalling all your apps and reinstalling them one by one testing the phone as you go. That may show the culprit app. If that doesn't work, try reflashing the ROM (using the software on the O2 xda website). If that doesn't work, try upgrading the radio to 1.14.1. I find this very stable on O2. If that doesn't work, try upgrading the CE ROM (you might like to start with one of the AKU 3.3 or 3.5 ROMs). If that doesn't work, you may be looking at a hardware fault.
If you need to know how to upgrade a ROM - read the wiki (several times if you've not done it before!)

Will try

Will try your suggestions for sure.
Thanks very much for the help...

Help Please - renamed registry folder & can't change it back!

What a numpty!
I was trying to get HTC Home Weather working thru T-Mobile UK using v1.5HTCHomeproxy0409.cab (without success), so went into the registry using Total Commander to check the Proxy settings.
Unfortunately I got as far as \\\Registry\HKLM and was trying to double click the "Software" folder but instead it went into edit folder name mode and whilst distracted by the wife managed to change the folder name to "n"
Whatever I try, I can't rename it "Software". I've tried creating a new "Software" folder and copying the files across, but a few won't copy:
/Apps/Shared/ "\Windows\mscoree.dll" and
/Apps/Shared/ "\Windows\Intellipad.dll" and
plus some .NET Compact Framework files in /Microsoft/ folder - but I'm guessing these are something the prev user had and wont affect the normal functions / programmes I will use
so... is there any way I can put the files I moved from
\\\Registry\HKLM\Software back, do I need to etc ????
Would appreciate a bit of advice from someone less accident prone!!!!
Its a (recently bought off eBay) , ex T Mob (UK I think) unbranded with HTC home etc. Can't work out how to see what version of HTCHome was on, but guess I've written over it with the proxy.cab now - the icons have changes and have lost today screen battery indicator, but that's a problem for another day!
Not sure what the ROM is, if its an original or cooked (OS ID looks normal to me, WM5?), but ExtROM looks like its been hacked by its name - dferriera WM5SE
G4 Wizard
ipl 2.21.0001
spl 2.21.0lip
gsm (radio?) 02.71.11
os 2.26.10.2 WWE

Well, if it wont change back, you can always hard reset or reflash to a new ROM...and if you do the later, all of the prerequisites have been done for you, you have HardSPL allplied already, and the correct radio ROM version for most of the ROMs, so you can flash away!

Thanks Ashasaur.
As you've probably noted from my profile and foolish behaviour, I'm new to this, does anyone mind just explaining the above comments on the ROM flash for me please?
-all of the prerequisites (?) have been done for you
-you have HardSPL (?) applied already: Is this related to the Server Proxy I've been trying to patch to HTC home for the weather fix?
-and the correct radio ROM version for most of the ROMs: does that mean I need to be careful I pick a ROM to match my radio version somehow?
If I can't find a way to rename the registry file, I'll have to go for a hard reboot, ROM flashing will be my next project once I feel I've done enough reading to understand what I'm doing and what not to do!
Thanks.

In order:
1-Prerequisites)-You have got HardSPL flashed succesfully to your device which leads to;
2-HardSPL)-Since you have a G4 device, in order to flash a non-carrier ROM you have to have HardSPL applied to your device, and you can tell that yours has been done by your IPL and SPL. Your IPL or 2.21.0001 indicates that you have a G4 Wizard, and your SPL or 2.21.Olip means that you have HardSPL applied already, otherwise you would have had to do it in order to be able to flash any ROMs...which leads to;
3-Radio)-What I mean by correct radio for most of the ROMs is that 2.71.11 is regarded as one of the more stable radio ROMs out there, and together with version 2.19.X, they are the preferred versions, though any version will work with any ROM, some work better than others.
Hope that helps!

Yes it does, thanks - especially now it has prompted me to read the wiki on hardSPL.
So maybe flashing a new ROM is not too far away...
Does the ROM contain the Windows operating system, in which case can I upgrade to WM6 / 6.1 (version currently says WM5) on my device, will I find a selection with info on what's in them on the downloads pages? (can't get access right now for some reason)
Cheers

I just did this today with my Touch Pro, it's alarmingly easy to break your device like this.
I think I have it fixed ... after I made the mistaken renaming, the device had locked up (or grown very slow) so I soft reset it. That rebuilt a large portion of the Software folder. After that, I copied the remaining keys in the renamed folder to clipboard and overwrote whatever was in the new Software folder.
Phone seems to be back to normal, but I'll be on the lookout for anything that didn't quite work. If that's the case I may have to hard reset.

@burnsy, yes, most of the download pages contain what the ROMs have in them, but I would look at my review thread in the Wizard Mobile 6 section...its called ROM Features......such such such, its got a list and ratings of the ROMs that you may find interesting.

Nice one ashasaur, sounds like just what I want. Should keep me off he streets...
Dr G, seems you're getting on a bit better than I am - my device won't let me copy all the files into the new folder. Noticed that I can receive but no longer send email, even after deleting and reinstalling my account, but that could equally have been caused by the htc home proxy files I was playing with!
I feel a hard reset coming on...

pre Install Query - Custom ROM

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.

bluetooth disabled in stock rom???

guys i need your help!
ive had my HD2 for 2 weeks now, its perfect! until last night when i tried to set up my bluetooth handsfree headset for work the next morning....
when i go to comm manager and try to turn bluetooth on it hangs for 30-40secs and i get cant turn on bluetooth
none of the other bluetooth related icons/programs/settings seem to work either
i had a look in the windows folder for all the files relating to bluetooth (just incase the links where broken) however, any bluetooth related .exe i click on i get this is not a valid pocketpc application error message.
im really hacked off now...in the wm help files theres a paragraph saying something along the lines of if the wireless carrier enables bluetooth on your phone...blah blah
so has t-mobile UK disabled it?
heres the info i can find:
OS version: 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manilla version: 2.5.19202525.0
ROM version: 1.43.110.2 (70315) WWE
ROM date: 10/28/09
Radio: 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol version: 15.26.50.07U
currently ive got tomtom7 installed and working fine, a handfull of games (Xtract/experiment13 etc etc) other apps like the torch button app all working fine, this is the first problem i've had!
so get your thinking hats on people, i will gather info, try out ideas etc and see what happens

UPDATE: i took a deep breath and did a hard reset....now it works!
so what the hell caused it to stop working?

I have the same problem. I installed a lot of app on my HD2 (TMOBILE UK). I have got tomtom 7 navigator as well installed on my device and the same error when I am trying to turn my Bluetooth on.
Maybe someone have somthing similar or the same and can help? Previously I had Samsung I780 with WM 6.5 and TT7 Navigator and no problems with bluetooth.

i just tried a few apps like HDwall (although it didnt display properly)
bluetooth still working...
just doing another hard rest now then i'll install TOMTOM7

ok.
here it is:
After a hard rest, nice clean phone... ran the TomTom7, installed fine, required a soft reset to complete...
after the soft reset i get "BTTrayCE.exe is not a valid pocketPC application"
so now bluetooth doesn't work
any help? i prefer to use tomtom...

There's a couple of tomtom files that have to be deleted from the windows folder to make it work again. Can't remember the names of them now, but if you google the "bttrayce.exe" error then it's one of the first results.

thanks aterlatus
