My SPV3100 had the No GSM message and got stuck on the Windows Mobile screen a few weeks ago. Tried HR, levaing the battery out etc etc etc but nothing worked.

I was ready to chuck it away, but after about a month of reading as much as I could about the Hermes on this forum I managed to get the phone working again by loading a different radio.

I then loaded HardSPL v7, and flashed the rom/radio using the current version on the Orange UK website.

It worked fine for a while, but now some strange things are happening;

- Call doesn't appear to end when I press the red hang-up button (although the call is actually disconnected)

- Phone freezes and buttons/touch screen will not respond

- Occasionally hangs on the Windows Mobile screen

- Occasionally get No GSM message

- Occasionally get Radio: None, GSM: None messages

- Outgoing call fails on first attempt, then phone loses network, searches, finds it and then call connects (in an area where I know reception is usually great)

- Battery dies in about 12hrs, even when sitting in standy and not being used.

These things happen at different times and independently of each other

Current stats of the phone:

IPL-1.04

SPL-2.10.Olipro

ROM version 2.11.61.3

Radio Version 1.38.00.01

Protocol version 32.71.7020.12H

Apart from updating the rom, I have also tried HR and the Activesync tip

Is there a better rom/radio version that I could try (I'm on Orange UK) or is this sounding more like a hardware issue?

Thanks in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] simondo:
If no-one can help with the problems i have listed, then could someone point me in the right direction of a decent radio/rom version?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] scousemartin:
update with an official orange rom, then flash any cooked rom. I had a similar problem on one of my hermes and found if you use the official upgrade to flash first it solves the problem also state what the rom was that you flashed
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] simondo:
Hi,

I did flash the official Orange rom already (downloaded it from the Orange website), and am having the problems listed

Current stats of the phone:

IPL-1.04

SPL-2.10.Olipro

ROM version 2.11.61.3

Radio Version 1.38.00.01

Protocol version 32.71.7020.12H

Do you think it didn't flash properly (bad sectors etc)?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Only way to find out is to check.....

If you're not sure, re-install the ROM.

I'm trying to set HTCAlbum as standard video file viewer (at least for mp4 files) in order to get its acceleration features and view files from any location.

I changed HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mp4file\Shell\Open\Command

to

\Windows\HTCAlbum.exe -mode:gizmo "%1"

But the parameter "-mode:gizmo" is not passed to HTCAlbum... :mad:

Anyone has an idea on how to pass a parameter via registry file association? The parameter is correct, tried with a link like this:

"\Windows\HTCAlbum.exe -mode:gizmo [fullpathtomp4file]" and it worked...

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ravest:
try \Windows\HTCAlbum.exe "%1"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nestore5:
ravest, thaks for the reply!

Unfortunately I need to pass the "-mode:gizmo" parameter otherwise HTCAlbum only starts in thumbnail mode... and I cannot open files outside its default dir...

Also this parameter starts immediately the video playback in fullscreen....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] schmierlappe:
hey guys,

I hope anyone of you can help me. While I have ran Hard SPL I put out my USB cabel from the phone, after this my monitor of my phone run into black. I have tried to get into the Bootloader nothing happens, then i took out the battery for one night and nothing happens, I can't start my phone. Have anybody an idea or is my Handy defect?

thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
Pulling out the USB cable during a flash is a NO, NO !

So there is No power to the device and thus you can't get to bootloader.

Sounds like a goner to me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mjaxa:
Yep, send it to service, and probably they will swap the mainboard...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] schmierlappe:
no chance, have no guarantee on it... damn s***, so i have to sell it on defect status.

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vale|46:
I'm currently using the official ROM 2.03.831.2, there is no problem with incoming calls, Caller ID works fine with Outlook contacts. However, I noticed this little bug, whenever the call ends, the phone will display a short message saying last caller as unknown caller. But when you go check the call history, it displays the last caller's name properly. So the error is just displayed during that few seconds when the call ends.

Anyone else noticed this bug?

Thanks.

Using it on both depending where i am at the time.

Personally the best app for the PPC i have found is PockeTwit. It works and is being updated regularly. The updating is built into the app as well.

I was wondering if anyone can explain the usefulness of twitter. I know what it is, and how it works, but for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would want to "tweet."

Basically why would you use this over a normal webpage, facebook, myspace, standard blog, or anything else. If anyone can rationalize this to me I would be curious.

I am not trying to be rude or anything I really just don't understand.
[Off-topic] boog:
I just got on twitter. So, sorry if I brought up an old thread.

There really is no reason to use it over anything else. They do have some interesting features, and it can be amusing at times. It's more simple than facebook, without all the extra bells and whistles of things like games and such.

btw if anyone is interested http://twitter.com/kd8gxd

I don't want to follow just random people, nor would I expect just random people to follow me.

So... given people on this forum are already into gadgets, if there is anyone that follows NFL (even now we're into the off season :( ) and maybe rides a motorbike, then add me and send me a tweet and I will follow back :)

I prefer Twitter over Facebook because I can very easily get news 'from the horses mouth' for example. Through the same medium I can also see what my mates are up to.

For example, I follow Josh Cribbs (NFL player) and I think the first place the news he would be changing teams came from, was when he tweeted it...
