ok...called up Singapore O2 service counter (tel: +65 6787 1330) and talked to one nice gentleman about my bluetooth intermittent problems as below:-

1.0 Sometime phone device ring and itech bluetooth no ring tone. There are cases both phone deviced & itech radio bluetooth ring or device keep silent with only bluetooth rings. It made me confuse and I could catch the pattern.

2.0 After sleep mode, when the phone device rings but the bluetooth could not pick up the signal. In actual fact, the bluetooth is matched/connected to flame when you check the setting.

3.0 After the matching and setting of phone and bluetooth, when phone rings, if I pick up call from phone instead of bluetooth, then most of the time, the bluetooth is dead and I have to soft reset to do matching again to use the bluetooth.

These problems are anoying. My final solution to this is to stop from using bluetooth which is painful to me when I am driving.

According to this gentleman, O2 is awared of these problem and looking into this. They will come out new ROM to solve it but don't know when...

Told him the battery life is suck big time as me as heavy user like me could not even last till 3:00pm.

I like the features and functionality of the phone but O2 has to solve the above 2 basic problems. They are also too slow on the WM6.0.

It is like fixing heavy Mercedes S class body with 800cc car engine. Looks and features are good but need to keep on pumping petrol with frequent breakdown.
[General Topics] jags1:
ofcourse they know wats going on around as they are not deaf nor blind,tell you that they read this forum too but sad thing is how could they release a heavy features machine with such serious bugs? they knew what they were doing from the start but still released flame anyway.so we could suffer.

before flame was out in the market,they were testing wm6 on it and had said that to ppl that flame will come out with wm6 ,if not then wm6 rom will be released just after flame is out,just like zinc and life.

i had contacted "organiser world" shop here in melbourne to give me heads-up before flame was released,thats what exactly they told me,they even had shown flame wm6 pro base device on thier site, when i questioned them about flame coming out as wm5 then they told me that flame will be released wm6 but in worst case if not then wm6 will be available soon after its release.

so tell me now where o2 is standing in regards to their wm6 pro based flame and where are we people standing waiting? did they lie to us since day one or they thought they could handle situation in regards to giving ppl new rom or wm6 rom? they knew flame will be a failed device after-sale with coolest use-less features.

Is there any orginal rom for flame? How can i upgrade it?
[General Topics] thierryb:
what we know: our devices have all the same rom, but 2 different radio, ril, and extended rom. These two different packages were released with one month interval, the first one in Singapore, and the second in Australia. But until now, O2 has not released any rom for un upgrade.

I still do not understand why There is not a proper forum for the Flame, the O2 Atom has one and it isn't a HTC Product, so what the hell is going on, is there drug abuse happening here, Drugs can make the simplest chooses seem hard, they can make you feel almighty when really you are just gutter trash.

Wow long thread.

Anyways is the XDA Flame really worth its price? Think performance wise. Compare other HTC phones we have? Is it any good? Its priced at brand new pre-order @ $1100USD?

Someone in my local area is selling the XDA Flame for $700 USD almost brand new. The person has not got any offers or calls. I am really skeptical about buying this thing. And it is quite obious if everyone has not realized it. Its not the mobile device with "ultimate in market performance". If you all want a good phone I suggest O2 XDA Atom LIFE. $800-$900 you can get it. An awesome thing to have.
[General Topics] CWKJ:
Ha ha, $700, how about helping some of us here to get a few for $700? And hey then I got it for Free.

It would be nice if you can keep the unkind comments to yourself.

It is fine for us that you please stick on to your own device.

GPRS Connection problem with flame

I live in Iceland and we have two service providers here. I am having a problem connecting my phone through gprs to either service. I have had extensive service support from the service providers and they are sure thet this is a problem with my phone. I managed to find another "proud" flame owner here who has the same problem. Can anyone help me find a solution to this problem.
[General Topics] igalan:
The Flame is triband (GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900), if you try to connect to GSM 850, it won't work. Just to rule out the obvious.

Thank you, but I can connect to the mobile network and place calls. I even get the little G icon on top of my screen but am not able to connect.

I'm sorry but there is very little to set up to get GPRS working, only the access point and usually your IP and the DNS is automatic. Double check all that anyway. If they're all right try to call when you can get some real tech support, not just first level support.

[General Topics] Menneisyys:
For example, Mundu. See the "File Transfer?" row at http://www.winmobiletech.com/022007Messengers/chart.html (linked from the IM Bible at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=295677 ). It, however, only sends files. There're no clients with file receive capabilities - if the latest versions of mChat / gsICQ don't support it (at the tie of testing, they didn't).
[General Topics] igalan:
Thanks for posting. Then either it's a problem of Movistar in Spain or it's about time to hard-reset my Flame (I should have already done that, but I'm waiting for a new ROM so I don't have to set up everything twice).
[General Topics] kdskamal:
Thanks for the precise 'review'. How is the built quality as compared to unversal? Do you think that it can withstand the day-to-day bashing the universal is able to counter
[General Topics] CWKJ:
Plus.2 says it all, light and compact.

In terms of ruggedness, Universal seems to have more strength of material, maybe due to the metallic paint on the plastic.

Flame's paint uses more plastic like paint and seems more easy to drop off.

Anyway, most of my phone looks new even after 1 to 2 years irregardless of built. :D
[General Topics] swain69:
yeah, I'm due too for a hard reset, also waiting patiently for WM6

anyone has any idea on how to get the o2 xda flame to wake up using the hardware buttons??? currently it can only wake up by pressing the power button... i'm afraid of pressing the power button to many times and damaging it in future... can anyone or any software help wake up the device from standby using the hardware button like the red end call button???
[General Topics] igalan:
Ha! My Flame does actually seem to need it :) .

I used a F-S Loox 720 for over two years with a single hard reset last summer after a very bad crash (hopefully I had a backup). My N560 hasn't been hard reseted, and it runs for weeks without having to soft reset it (with the same software, as my Flame). Maybe the bar is a bit too high. I hope O2 pushes a new ROM quickly, one that is far more stable than the current.
[General Topics] swain69:
I had to do a hard reset last night, only to find that Sprite Backup could not do a complete restore, too many errors. I managed to salvage my contacts and PIM data. What backup software are you guys using?
[General Topics] igalan:
I'm using Spb Backup 1.6.2, but I haven't tested if a full restore works as expected. I added a custom registry value to skip a file that the Flame keeps locked during backups, so Spb completes the backup without warnings.
[General Topics] swain69:
that was the main reason I switched to sprite, but if there is tweak for spb backup I will switch back. I prefer spb backup anyway.
[General Topics] igalan:
Add this value:

HKLM\Software\Spb Software House\Spb Backup\IgnoreFiles\"15"="\NVMultiProcessMemMappedFileName"

If there's already a value named "15" use a number not in this branch. This way Spb Backup skips this file and automatically reboots after backup.

As I've said, I've not tested a full restore after a hard reset.
[General Topics] HDJ80:
I am interested but, you do not send it to Spain? :(
[General Topics] swain69:
Thanks igalan, will give it a try.
[General Topics] swain69:
I can confirm that it works perfectly. Just did a full backup and a full restore.

Oh, and remove the "" when adding the registry values.

Thanks again !

LCD Flickering with Backlight switch off

Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem. But I guess all of us should have it, please check.

You cannot see this problem even under the lightings in Indoors, you must be under strong sunlight (plenty here in Singapore) or maybe strong light shine directly on the LCD.

2 ways to see the problem,

1. Go to brightness control and switch the bright to zero, under outdoor bright sunlight, you will see the LCD flickering.

2. WIth brightness on and brightness timeout set to certain time, wait for the brightness to auto switch off, you will see the LCD flickering under outdoor bright sunlight.
[General Topics] swain69:
I've witnessed the same behaviour. Fortunately for me, there's not much sun where I am.
[General Topics] igalan:
Yes, the screen flickers when there's no backlight. Under direct Sun with the backlight even at minimum brightness there is no flicker, only when the backlight is off.

It does bother me because the screen is very readable outdoors without backlight, but because of this flicker you have to keep a minimum backlight, even if not needed :( .
[General Topics] CWKJ:
Now I know why Trinity has no backlight totally off.

For Trinity, there is backlight even you are at the lowest level.
[General Topics] igalan:
Same for the Elf, you can't complety turn off backlight. But this screen is unreadable under the Sun, unlike that of the Flame.
[General Topics] jags1:
my screen : if i bring backlight down to the end i still see my screen and then i wait for screen to go off completely then i take my beloved flame under direct shine (melbourne's sun burns :)

i see NO flickers, in normal circumstances when my backlight goes off itself screen stays visible behind darkness then later it goes to dead/pitch black.

did i make any sense here? its like my flame never ever had problem with reading/writing 2gb sandisk micro sd card but i saw everybody else or most ppl facing this issue?
[General Topics] CWKJ:
There is 3 situation here,

1. Power off (standby), sees nothing on screen.

2. LCD off / Display off, sees nothing on screen.

2. Backlight off / Brightness off / Led off, only the light is off, you can still see the pictures on the LCD.

Did you set Power off/LCD off and Backlight off at the same timing?

Try in the brightness setting mode, just bring the setting cursor to Zero (nothing else) and see it under the sun.
[General Topics] jags1:
yes thats how i did,brought cursor right to the zero did nothing else and looked for flickers saw nothing screen was calmed as usual.i am not trying to show here that my flame is different but i see no flickering at all.
[General Topics] CWKJ:
Has check out on the web with other users, 3 (including me) has problem and 1 (thats you) without problem.

You are the lucky 25%, I guess.

Or your eyes is also flickering at the same frequency, just kidding. Hee Hee :D

Hi,

I have just bought a lovely XDA Flame and everything seems to be working alright. I have been following this forum and was a bit reluctant to buy the flame because of some of the issues but I have taken the plunge, mainly because of the lovey VGA screen.

There surely won't be fixes for TCPMP because it's no longer worked on. For the commercial CorePlayer, there might be, bjut only in the distant future (with version 1.4...1.6): at least half a year, I'd say.

You will pardon me, I simply left there the splash screen I am using. To change back to the original Windows splash screen, follow these steps:

1. Clear the +readonly +hidden +system attributes for "\Windows\welcomehead.96.png" (you may use Total Commander).

2. Download and unpack the "welcomehead.96.zip" file.

3. Copy the unpacked "welcomehead.96.png" file to your \Windows directory. Overwrite the old file.

4. When done copying/overwriting, reset the readonly, hidden and system attributes for the file.

two weeks after Flame was anounced in expansys it disapeared from their list. even in Australia, where it was easy to buy now there are few shops that have it in stock.

After speaking directly with expansys, they don't know if it will even be available. they have lot of units ordered from months ago

with this situation I think two possible resolution:

- O2 is waiting to have the new units with WM6 full working before serving to the shops

- WM6 problems and other bugs not resolved can make them decide not to sell more Flame units

I wait for the first option for two more weeks

after that I will buy a Tytn II as the best option
