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..

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.
active sync problems...still
I have upgraded to the official ROM realsed by O2 and most of the problems are solved, and i "love" my atom for now.

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.
As I have it for 2 months now I have decided to sell it anyway. Why you ask?
Because:
I use the phone for business and after that for private use and it is not quite what I have expected.
Sometimes, quite often infect, I can not answer the incoming call, it just freezes so I have to return calls, really stupid.
The MMS function works horrible, only every 3rd mms gets sent, and SMS is even worse, for only every 10th sms I get delivery report and my clients get more, like 3-5 sms from me.
Do not know why this is happening I really fell in love with Hermes, but some things just must work!
I will tray it maybe later, when the device will be faster, more stable, no more every day soft resets and certainly working for the money I paid for!
Hope yours is working right!
Cheers!

Sorry to hear that vid200. I won't be returning to this site for a few days, so can't check back for an answer, but have you tried upgrading/changing your ROM to a better and more stable one? I was quite upset with my TyTN until 2 weeks after I bought it, I decided to change the ROM to one that everyone was saying was good and stable. It's a simple process if u haven't done so, but do a search on it first.
Unless ur unit is faulty (and it just sounds like software issues), probably everything can be put absolutely allright with a little more time.
Best of luck.
How much?
How much of the Hermes you want to sell?
you know.. if you want to donate the phone i am accepting donations

I must say, my stock hermes from polish era mda vario ii is very stable, no bugs eg. SA, i don't have any crash etc. All working 100/100 times.
But of course stock as it from operator.
When i testing some apps etc. i got some problems, eg. 1 sms is 3 sms, got sms but phone inform about it only when i run messagin aps.........
It's like "big" windows, when you have clean system it's working fine.
Now i use hermes as it from operator, only add, black theme tsk, spb+ and navi. All working super fine, stable/fast etc.

Please this is a developer forum, any opinion is valuable, but don't call us stupid!
"We are preparing a space ship to fly to the sun." This, of course was met with much ridicule. They were asked how they planned to deal with the sun's extreme heat. "Simple, we're going at night!"

i can say the same thing about my device.. but want to add that in addition to everything above i do use push mail and it works great, no issues here.. my phone stats are on my sig
I too am having perfect luck with my Hermes - it's been just as reliable as my Wizard was. No wi-fi locking up, no hand-off problems - it's been great!

Edit: I do have one problem... my battery doesn't last a full day with Push email and my IM+ usage. I ordered the 3000mAh battery from Lion... hopefully that fixes that up!

I can also say the same thing. My device works well with the 1.35 SA Rom. Direct push all day about 50 to 75 emails each day, Sony HBH-DS970 bluetooth, 3g on all day..does not switch to gprs. Use bluetooth gps receiver a couple times per week, no problems. Play mp3 via bluetooth everyday from my sdcard, I have never had to delete the msmetadata folder. Receive phone calls 15 to 25 times per day, no issues. I also have spb pocket +, SPB Weather, SPB Diary, TCPMP, TOmTOm 5.21, Pocket Mechanic, SKtools, PpcWEbcam, IM+, Pocket Informant, MS One Note, VxUtils, PHM Regedit, Total Commander, and Sprite Backup without issues. But as for SMS/MMS.. i couldn't say.I don't use either except for about 5 daily alerts for weather and stock quotes. Don't really send any sms or mms, use email instead....

I agree, the only solution is to admit that there are hermes and Hermes, may be here many of us have the hermes release, the poor brother.
I have the same 1.35 SA Rom, no Sbp SW (may be it helps?) and I delete MSMETADATA twice a week.
I had to reset (due to freezing) every day. Seriously speaking, it could be a problem in SD driver. My storage card (and many of us) cards could be the faulty element of the chain
I'm a light user but the phone (Vario II) has been great for me. No problems whatsoever. Worked perfectly out of the box - and still does (two months later).
I switch it off every night (I don't want calls to disturb my sleep and even the guy behind the recent research into mobiles and tumours which said they were harmless said he wouldn't sleep beside his mobile phone!) and I think that this helps the device (i.e. one hard reset every day).
I find that I use my laptop much less these days because for the most common tasks (e-mail, checking presentations, finding information etc.) the Vario is adequate.
Hi,
I haven't seen this posted here and though some of you use it.
Skype just released a new version with 480x800 resolution support and new voice engine.
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windowsmobile/
Regards,
Thanks for the info.
Yeah, thanks for the info. Will try it later.
thanks mate,
this'll be one of my essential apps,
Doesn't seem to fit the screen properly.
Settings menu is bigger than the screen.
Can anybody tell me is this version already fix the loundspeaker issue? Cuz the old version i cant redirect the voice thru headset, it come out at lound speaker only.

Mine screen OK.
Just the settings screen seems bigger.
Will have to play with it.
Didn't work on my HD. Two seconds after calling the Echo-Server the program crashed.
- Dromaius
Works well on my HD.
@madraven - Thanks for the tip!
the new skype does not work on my HD too
can you please post your rom version
Also did not work for me on ROM 1.14.405.3 - it got stuck on the logon screen and I gave up waiting. Worked fine on the PC so not a problem with the account.
Works Fine ..... :::After Restart Device::: .....
Works here too, I noticed some lag but nothing more than I would have on my Desktop PC.
Very handy to be walking around with my correspondend instead of being tied up behind the PC. ...Happy...
I'm still only getting sound through the external speaker and not the phone earpiece/bluetooth headset. Anyone else still having this happen?
Works fine on my HD, though you still have to use a headset if you don't want it on speaker.
Does not work on mine
The program does not start on my phone. I get the following error
"Couldn't find all the necessary resource files to start Skype. Please try to install Skype Again.
Skype will now quit"
I tried to resintall it, but it did not help.
I installed it on the internal memory..
Anyone else with the same problem?
Doesn't work on my HD either.
As soon as I call someone and the connection is established, Skype crashes.
It doesn't matter if I'm connected via WLAN, 3G or ActiveSync.
One thing I noticed though, when I'm connected via WLAN, Skype disconnects the network as soon as it crashes.
Soft resets and multiple reinstallations have not solved the problem.
Any ideas? (And no, I do not want to hard-reset my device.)
EDIT: Skype 2.2.0.38 works fine
works fine on mine but i was hopping Skype to start data connection by himself when i want to start Skype or when i select in Contact options "call with Skype" ...i always have to start data connection before starting Skype ...bouuhhh

Yes, it would be very nice if you could tell Skype to automatically connect to your WLAN or 3G when you make a call.
I downloaded skype 2.5 beta today and it works great on my Verizon 6800 DCD 3.22. I can make calls and receive with no issues. Only things I would like to see are my contacts. Is there a way to get it to import my contacts for fast dialing?
Thx
i also have it on my titan, but all my contacts got imported automatically. weird

lepapirriky, if you modify a contact will you see the change in skype?
Yes, well about that it really didnt change my contact..i wait for a day and still nothing, but if i add contacts from my comp, they will add automatically on my phone.
Skype and wifi disconnection when screen goes off: registry tweaks please?
I have Skype beta 2.5 on my Sprint Mogul (PPC6800) running on wm6.1. Skype, however, requires the wifi to remain on if you want to receive calls. But when my phone's screen goes off the wifi gets disconnected so skype goes offline and now one can call me if I want them to call me from wifi using skype.
Also, when I am making a call, I want to be able to turn off the screen (or the phone will turn it off after a minute) to save battery, but then the wifi goes off and skype call gets disconnected.
I have tried skype's settings to tell it not to let system go into standby mode and I have tried to change my wifi settings by selecting the non-battery saver mode called "performance." None of these works. When the screen goes off, so does the wifi, and skype becomes unavailable for use.
Can some one tell me a registry tweak to disable the phone from turning off the wifi when the screen turns off? Thank you.
I will have to look for the wifi...for the screen off I use the tool in Pocket Toolman which is a free download. I use it a lot for the "screen off" function so the device stays on but with a blank screen.
Just looked and in the OS tweaks section there is an option I am not using called "keep wifi connection active when sleep" in side Pocket Toolman v2...it's free just google it...
I have a problem with my HD2.
When trying to use internet, connection is very unstable. Lets say in every 10 minutes, 6 is working great and another 4 there is no internet whatsoever.
Also I noticed that calls are interrupted, sometimes during a call it disconects me few times and also sometimes I need to try to make a call few times as it looks like there was no signal(?).
My old tytnII never had such a problems at the same place (same sim, same network - t-mobile.uk).
Any help would be very appreciated.
ps1. Im using the new 1.61 (Turkish) rom at the moment and the problem still exists.
ps2. Its a bit better when I switch off HSDPA connection.
