You have right. To send a mail to or customer support is useless. We have to discuss here, find a solution by ourself, hope wm6 will arrive, hope wm6 will solve most of the issues without adding new ones.

Then if we confirm issues in this thread, confirm that is really a limitation for customers we are, perhaps after we could try to send the address of this thread to O2 and Arima.

So now our job: qualify bugs, and vote.

I can confirm bluetooth is not available when the phone is off.

For me the main limitation is not that one but the fact that we can not dial speaking in the headset. If this limifation will be solved by O2 or by a third party application, then not being able to wake up the phone by the headset will be a limitation.

So:

Resolution 1: O2 and Arima have to be compatible with at the minimum with a third party software like Microsoft Voice Command or the one they want to choose, and tell us.

Resolution 2: O2 and Arima have to let the bluetooth radio on and active to wake up the phone if it is on when the phone was asleep.

Votes:

Resolution 1: +1 = 1

Resolution 2: +1 = 1

Now go on, vote !
[General Topics] thierryb:
Yes always. Because I know that no device is perfect, and the Flame have the best specifications for me, and he work most of the time. In addition. I am an advanced user, and phone is important for me for data more than for call. Flame just need to be improved a little bit and will be a wonderful device.

For me the main issue concerning the Flame is O2 support, and xda-developper. They are both deaf.

So we have to be more active and clever than they are. And we can. So go on.
[General Topics] thierryb:
Bug 1: can you confirm the bug by not using phonealarm ? I will try phone alarm. If I understand well, that means that phonealarm shut off the screen when the call start?

Bug2: +1 = 2

please, others, do your job, confirm or deny for your case.

Bug3: micro SD

Sandisk 2gb : 1

Transcend 2gb: +1 = 1

Bad news. I wanted to buy one. Please other, do your job for having a wonderful device.

Bug 4 : 1

- Garmin Que: 1

- Nonigpsplot : 1

- PV player: 1

Please can you download nonigpsplot, it is a small freeware. And try. Thanks in advance.

Bug5: +1 = 2

Bug 6: receive call: 0+ 0 = 0

But now you can vote for resolution 1 and resolution 2

NEW BUG:

Bug 7: Sometimes, the device do no charge even plugged to the charger and start to be very hot. However, the led is red and third party softwares confirm that he is charging. The level of consumption is 280 mA mesured by acbpowerMeter. So there is no reason of that. It is necessary to reset it (Soft reset was not enough, I needed to shut off the flame completely, ie long press on on/off button). And after everything is ok.

It is the second time it happens to me.

Can you confirm ?

Hi all

I just join this O2 XDA Flame club few days back in exchange of my dead Universal.

I have learn a lot from Uiniversal Forum, after the exchange, the only regret is I never tried Linux on Universal.

I am a newbie again with this new device!!!

I have tested one. It was not recognized even after more than one insertion. I do not remember the brand and the size.
[General Topics] thierryb:
Because you have memmaid, can you verify you notification database ?

Concerning your microsd card, is it a special one from Sandisk? Mine was sold with an SD adaptor.

after every reset or wakeup you can access it?

Did you try to make a call longer than the parameter you have in Settings /System/ Power ? Does he switch to stand by mode (black screen)? And when you close the call, does he have the backlight on ?
[General Topics] pierro78:

Missing Files

I have not had a PDA before & I found this excellent forum which I have been following for some time.

1 - I bought my O2 DXA Flame in Australia last week & have sent the following to O2. Support.

“I purchased O2 XDA Flame last Wednesday & the "O2 Exclusive Applications" are missing. These are:

O2 Autoconfig, Autoinstall, Connect, Mediaplus, Menu, Phone Plus, SMS Plus. So far I have noticed

that I do not have Radio ( FMRadio.exe) and NO Remote Control.Others that are also missing are:

Adobe Reader LE, CodeWallet,Self Diagnostics, Video Telephony, Worldmate.”

The Camera gives the following message”Camera.exe – The file [Camera] cannot be opened.Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to re-install or restore this file”.

I get the same wording when I try to use the FM Radio.

Question: Will a [Hard Reset] fix all of the above? If not just where can I get the required files from?

2. – The only Free Contacts Backup that I could find is called

NS Contacts Backup 1.2

http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/pocket-pc/download-ns-contacts-backup-1-2.html

I note that it requires .NET Compact Framework 2.0

Question: Is it any good?

CPU Performance location

It seems that the controlling mechanism for CPU performance (in Settings\System\Power\CPU Optimize) is stored in the following location:

LM\Drivers\CPUPower\PowerStateBatt

0 = Automatic

1 = Performance

2 = Power Saving

2 interesting points. 1} It would seem that just changing the value cause the CPU to move. My guess is the device uses the IdleProfInterval value as an interval to check this key and change the CPU, (every 100msec apparently?) So getting an app to change this value every reset should insure that the device is set accordingly. 2} Either TCPMP is showing the value wrong or performance does a little more then lock it in at 520Mhz because going into TCPMP shows values in the range of 508 - 548. Also, Power Saving brings the CPU down to 104Mhz (man thats slow)
[General Topics] JamesManios:
I am not running PhoneAlarm, I will try your test out sometime tomorrow

I'm running iGo GPS right now and its fine, I will find and try nonigpsplot but that might more be a problem with the individual programs then the phone, (if they are not VGA aware apps). Have you had this problem with a VGA specific app?

I have NEVER had that.
[General Topics] thierryb:
Yes this specific app is VGA compatible, WM05 AKU 3.5, because I have already used it in my Acer N311 with the rom 1.24. Sure, this is a problem of the software, but also probably of the Nvidia GPU, and the APIs that have been made available for developers. This software probably use APIs that the NVidia badly interpret. I have found 3 softwares that have this issue. Probably, we all found more, and this will help these deveolpers to do something, or Arima, O2, Microsoft, NVidia do something.
[General Topics] thierryb:
Why do you need an app to change this value. You already have it in the Flame. Goes on : Settings > System > Power > CPU Optimize. Probably I do not understand your remark.

TCPMP does not always give real values. I have never seen that it does with all my pdas I have had.

[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Guys and gals, does anyone know whether ANY OpenGL ES games / apps are supported? Could you, for example, give a try to Call of Duty 2 (even the trial version will suffice)? CoD2 is stated to be compatible with GoForce.

If it IS supported, then, you'll see a high-resolution, (W)VGA image and, still, the animation will be smooth. If it isn't, then, a low-resolution, pixelizated screen will be shown. Two examples:

(OpenGL ES, Dell Axim x51v 2700G)

(NO OpenGL ES, Pocket Loox 720)

Also, you could give a try to other OpenGL ES games / apps too; see their complete list at http://www.aximsite.com/boards/games/98674-x50v-x51v-2700g-accelerated-game-list.html

I'd REALLY welcome any kind of input so that we know whether GoForce is upwards compatible with the Intel 2700G - that is, it supports Open GL ES.
[General Topics] JamesManios:
This may be another BUG on the bug list, but for my Flame, I find that every once in a while it changes the setting BACK to Automatic from Performance. It seems to be rare and somewhat random, (for example doing a Soft-Reset does not guarantee it will happen). I think I'm going to write an app the writes a value to the registry every couple of seconds to make sure this doesn't happen again. I will post it here if anyone else is having the problem and wants it.

Update: one example that always works (for me anyways), set Performance and then switch to the camera and quit out and go back to CPU and it will be back to Automatic
[General Topics] thierryb:
After a hard reset, the Flame proposes to you to install all these applications. The only way to have them is to hard reset it, but you will loose all your data.

Concerning data backup, including pim, mail, files, the simplest and good software is free and available to download on this forum. It's name PimBackup, just do a search.

if you want a more sophisticated one, with fullbackup, you have sktools, sprite backup, spb backup. But you will have to pay.

[General Topics] thierryb:
I am always on automatic. So this is why I have never seen your bug.

I have just tried: put it in performance, start the camera, close it, go back to cpu, but unfortunately for you, my Flame stays in Performance.

I can't reproduce you bug. However, I will put my Flame on performance during few days and verify sometimes if it stays.

i am using the sandisk 2GB with flame. it works fine.

only problem i am facing is still the bluetooth connection. I have keep trying and trying any other brands but failed. end up alot of bluetooth headset in my drawer.

I finally give up flame at this moment. put it back to the box and waiting for wm6 ( if it solves the problem ) Just bought the o2 atom life and it works fine with everything. Now i am happy .... Wish WM6 will come out soon for flame. otherwise i have to let my flame go :(
[General Topics] swain69:
I've never encountered this problem. Mine is set on Performance and has never changed. Possibly it's an installed application that's causing this behaviour?
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
First, thanks for the tests! One of the major selling points of the Flame is the GoForce CPU; if it turns out to be as good and compatible with the current (!) 2700G / OpenGL ES-enabled games / emulators / demos as the 2700G itself, many previous Axim users may look into purchasing the Flame.

CoD2 already has a demo version, accessible on their homepage. Let me know if you want me to extract the CAB.

Thanks, will test & post the results on my 2700G-based x51v!

If the animation is really smooth, non-pixelizated and high-resolution (!) (see my example screenshots of the accelerated and non-accelerated CoD2 - you should see the same difference in all games), it's accelerated.

Thanks, that's bad news (not that Jackpot Casino would be THAT good, 3D-wise).
[General Topics] rohanmaini:
I think if these problems are solved after doing a Hard reset, these should be in the Extented_Rom folder. You can access the ext rom thru freeware programs like Total Comander. Once you are in the folder you can install the apps from there... no need for Hard reset.

PS: If you need details on how to get to the Extended_Rom folder PM me.

i will re-install mem maid and will be able to tell you the notifications stuff.sorry

my sandisk micro sd came with an adapter ,i had this card for quite sometime actually,used as sd before and when i bought flame then used as micro,had no issues at all,it gave me trouble not even once,did many hard resets/soft resets card always appeared as it should.

i did make a longer calls,looked at my screen during calls,it went off in 3 minutes and i stayed on line for an extra 5 minutes,screen did not go completely blank,i mean backlight was off but in day light i could see call screen in the back ground and when i finished call,touched screen and it became in normal mode with backlight on,did not need to press power button.

did couple more experiments today, as i mentioned earlier i had no problems using bluetooth headset (blue-ant x3 micro) when my phone went in suspend mode and i needed to wake him up by using power button,it did not disconnect from bluetooth,it was always there ready/connected and today i bought icombi stereo headset paired with my flame,it went brilliant,no problems using A2DP voice was clear as and listening music etc was excellent, same thing when it went in sleep mode i woke him up,it did not disconnect,it was paired and connected as usual,i paid AUD162 but it was worth paying that much and getting something very fancy :) then my second battery arrived today thats 2000mAh but using first time i didn't feel any difference compare with my original one,will see after 3/4 charge if 2000mAh has more life or not,size is the same as original one,looks the same.

i think i am going to keep my flame as i am with lesser issues here and now i hv got the second battery,i am quite happy with it,still WM6 is a demand from O2 ,would never give up on this demand :D
[General Topics] igalan:
Yes, this seems to happen here.

I am also having duplicated notifications added to the queue after every soft-rest. MemMaid is set to run after start up and takes care of them, but anyone not doing some clean up will be in trouble.

I'm not sure if the duplicated entries are the one above.

I'm using a Sandisk 1 GB Micro SD. This one works well but sometimes the Flame needs up to 5 mins before it mounts it. I have a spare Micro SD that looks identical, with the spare one it mounted the card always in less than a minute.

This works only sometimes. Tha PDA awakes and rings, and then sometimes the headset is connected, sometimes not. If it's connected I can answer with the headset, if not I have to pick up the PDA and while in call press a couple of times the button of the headset to transfer the call.

Its a strange thing that O2 or Arima does not provides the ROM of their latest Shipped ROM on the website as what HTC / Dopod does.

By the way, what is the latest news of the WM6 ROM from O2?
[General Topics] igalan:
An earlier post explains this, when you run O2 Autoinstall you're give a list of programs that you can install. If memory serves, O2 Menu is part of O2 Themes. But be warned, installing O2 Themes will install a lot of plugins and customizations that will completely change your Today Screen. I didn't like many of the Today Plugins installed, so I've disabled all but the O2 Wireless (and O2 Menu, but this one isn't a Plugin).
[General Topics] CWKJ:
Does anyone also finds that some of the games which works on wm2003, wm5 and also Cooked WM6 for Dopod models does not work on Flame.

[General Topics] CWKJ:
Thanks.

Disabling is one way.

You can delete today plugins by delete the respective DLLs in the Windows directory and also the respective registries.

Is the O2 Menu and shortcut *.lnk file? Can you check which *.exe it is linked to?

What does autoconfigure does?

What does O2 Connects downloads?

Disabling is enough for me :) .

O2 Menu is part of O2 Themes, I've just verified this. The link points to O2+.exe, but there is an O2Menu.exe, as well as other files that are part of this package (although they don't seem related to O2 Menu, they are the other plugins -dlls-, and themes).

COD2 demo does not work on the Flame, I also got hold of the full program and again no joy. Very frustrating! I also tried the accelerated version of virtual pool and it does not work either so you have to stick with the software version. So far there does not appear to be any accelerated game that runs on the Flame's GPU! I am starting to believe that the nvidia chip is a waste of time and just causes excessive battery drainage with no upside.

I also found another bug. If you try to record video directly onto the SD card, the image freezes although the sound continues. It works fine if you record onto the internal memory.

Missing Programs

Missing Programs - Reply info from: - thierrys & rohanmaini & igalan.

I did a Hard reset – boy was that hard; I almost gave up. I found that I had to press both buttons at EXACTLY the same time to make it work. I am pretty sure I was not given a List of Programs to Select, it just started Automatically and showed a percentage progress loading bar. All the missing programs loaded OK. However, how did my Flame get out of the factory in that condition? My Flame Details : O2 Product No 9-3600-B0AU1-0

Made in Taiwan – Purchased in Australia.

Thanks for the PimBackup – it worked OK & really saved me a lot of work

I found Total Commander.

You shouldn't have to, while the device is on, hold both buttons and hit reset and continue to hold them until you see the "Are you sure" type prompt.
[General Topics] JamesManios:
Overclocking some interesting observations

Running the device naturally at 520Mhz, (using Performance) and letting the machine idle takes around 390-440mA, (these number would of course vary from machine to machine depending on how many apps you have running in the background and what they are doing... but using my machine as the baseline these numbers are significant.

Running XCPUScalar at 520MHz takes 524-539mA

Running PocketHackMaster at 520 takes 514mA-519mA

So, for whatever reason the phone runs 520 much better then the apps. It might be the apps are using a higher bus speed or something that we can't see but performance-wise "520" seems pretty equal across the board.

But here is the weird part , if you drop the CPU to 385MHz using XScale or PHM it will be about 440mA so if you try to use these apps for battery savings, it doesn't seem to do much/hurt. Normally I would not care about battery savings and push the CPU to the highest stable point and power be damned, but as we know, power is not something to squander with this device :-(

That Performance writing app

Given no one seems to have the problem I'm not sure how interested anyone is going to be, but here is a quick app that just writes the value "1" to the PowerStateBatt reg every 1000msec to force the phone to be in Performance CPU mode

Its just an exe so you can copy it to \Windows\Startup for example, but there is no gui, ie you can't really kill it without a task-manager of sorts, but thats kinda the point...

Thanks Jamesmanios.

Even if if is not the case for us, it could be useful for others.

I have put my Flame during two days with the perfomanie option and the option is always here.

It could be interesting for you If you do a hard reset and verify if the bug is always here. Obviously you need a backup.
