I have honestly never seen a problem like this (and I have been on these forums for a little shy of 5 years). I don't believe it will help, but maybe something that you modified in your phone is messing up with the ability of your phone to "see" the towers. It could also be that your SIM card is messed up. If you have some time to spare, back up your device and try to re-flash your rom. Also, go to your provider and ask them to give you a new SIM card since you think that yours is messed up.

The only other thing that I can think of is physical damage to the antenna (dropping the phone, banging it against a wall, etc).

Hopefully, some of this advice comes in handy...

Ok.. coming soon we will know if any this solutions fix the problem, because I acquired a new BA for my wife, and we are waiting a new LCD arrive. I'm changing my SIM because my actual SIM is old and do not support a easily from my Operator. And finishing, it's not Flash problem, because like i said, after update my BA from WM 2003 to WM 6, with all roms versions this problem occurs. If you didn't saw anything about this problem, i think that you don't search right, because this problem was very noted a bit more than one year ago.

Some links with my problem, and one this have a solution not tested by me, i will try it soon and I will inform here the results.

First of all, I am glad that you may have found a solution. If it does work for you, by all means post it.

I am suggesting things as I see them. I do not search for all issues on this site, but I try to address them as they come along and learn from these solutions, so if anyone else comes along in the future with a similar problem, I will try to help them out. What I am doing is simply trying to give you guidance on an issue that personally I have never seen. I really don't appreciate this kind of attitude. I am the first to tell people to search and read before asking questions in the BA section.

Next time you have questions, either look for an answer yourself or at least be more humble with the people trying to help you.

Dear friends ..

I have installed this new ROM,

But I made some mistake during the EXTROM and during installing some other softwares.

I'd like to make a new fresh ROM installation,

I tried but found out that everytime I go to bootloader and install the ROM again it keeps my softwares and the EXTROM.

Also I tried to downgrade to 6.1 but the same thing!

So how could I format the entire device and install the 6.5.3 ROM in a fresh way ?

Thanks :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] vipperdiver:
LOL, ok my friend, let's forget it.

I'm wainting to arrive the new LCD from my other BA to test this solution to the loss signal problem.

Hey Man,

You have to do a hard reset, on the second post have it, but, press and hold power button and reset with stylus, on the colorbars screen, before you see the version of rom and radio stack, pres record and camera button at same time, will appear some options at top left corner of the screen. With the same buttons (record and camera) select format storage yes and clean register yes, the other option put no, and press the mail button. Ready, your BA is hard reseted and formated.

I hope this help you.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] alqasimk:
Awesome man!

Just done it :)

I though I'd have to re install the ROM,

but I see it preserved the same ROM..

Thanks again :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] vipperdiver:
Yes... it's because the ROM (WM 6.xx) is located on a ROM memory, and you formatted the Storage Memory. This is the Memory were are the programs and other things, including settings.

You're welcome.

beam just offered one checkbox, either to have it switched on the entire time, or to switch it off. the same thing can be done in the comm manager.

SIM Menu

Hi Chef and D-two.

Thanks for this great work. Very fast rom.

There are three issues on my SPVM2000

1. Clicking on Wi-Fi button on comm manager do not immediately work.

Need to go to wireless manager/settings /wireless lan/ then click twice on WLAN in order for the wifi to work. Once than that clicking on WiFi button on Comm manager would function ok. Need to do the mentioned workaround every softreset or after reinstalling battery.

2. Is the any way i could access the SIM Menu of my SIM card?

3. After fresh install Lock icon/word is present, after awhile it disappeared. Same also with the word menu when you/re texting/reading SMS.

Thanks and more power!

Yes, the iMate PDA2K is supported with this Rom.

Please take some time to go through the Wiki's of the "Blue Angel", if you are not sure how to start the procedure.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
1. That is a known issue. When you go into Commmgr, go to Settings>Wireless LAN and try to turn the Wifi on thru there. It will not turn on at that point. However, you will have turned on all the necessary drivers to enable it through Commmgr. once you are done, go back to Commmgr and try again, it should turn on.

2. No. STK has not worked since the dawn of WM5.

3. I don't understand this question. The lock icon is (and always is) present in the Start Menu on the bottom left and looks like a lock. There is not writing on it though.

ICON/Menu missing

hi egzthunder1

cc: d-two, chef

On item 3 of my question (Title: SIM MENU)

Please take a look on the image attached. There's no icon/menu on the boxed location.

Performing a hard reset restores this icon/menu. But as I use the unit, it will exhibit missing icon/menus. What seems to be the problem with this BA? hardware problem?

regards,
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
interesting. could you list, what 3rd party apps you have installed? anything that could possibly influence the messaging or the shell? for instance, i see, that you are not using the standard theme.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] noddls:
Icon/Menu Missing

HI Chef,

These are the installed apps. I see the symptoms already even before installing the SPB mobilse shell 3.5. I like spb mobile shell interface 3d carousel.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
mmh, there is nothing suspicious looking about that list, except maybe inuja blimkeys, what is that, a custom keyboard? just for my own interest.

i am really running out of ideas, i never saw something like that, how long have you been using the rom, before it occured, maybe it is some sort of strange timebomb bug. if it happens rather quickly, you could also try running the device for a certain amount of time close to that without sim card and sd card.

also, did you use a special extrom or made one yourself, because sometimes, apps installed through the extrom are not appearing in the remove programs list. have you had an earlier d-two build with similar symptoms?

that's really all i can think of right now, not that i had any solutions, but you could still test some things stated above.

RE: ROM

Hi,

First of all thanks alot for this fantastic ROM. Found it is really fast even after installing my typical applications.Great work!

Possible bug would be that, my BA freaks out as soon at the battery gets low - low in the sense of 80% with this rom and near 50% with Sundream's?.

Does anyone know whether it is a WM 6.5 bug?

Cheers.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
The battery meter from WM is badly screwed up. Try charging your BA for a while (and I mean long while) and then hard reset. There are people who claim that if your battery is not fully charged at the time of flashing, your device will recognize the current charge as 100%.

Try that and see if it works.

Can't connect to external BT GPS Receiver

Hi,

I just flashed in this ROM to my BA. I have an external GPS receiver that I use it quite extensively. I tried to connect it to my newly flashed wm6.5.3 ROM BA thro Bluetooth, but it cant seem to connect. I did look thro the possible solutions that other posters suggested, but seems like none of them works.

Any one has any luck connect his/her BA to ext. GPS? Previously, when my BA is running on WM2003, i can connect to the GPS without any issues.

The GPS unit that i have is identified as iBT-GPS. Cant remember what is brand name, as I picked this up from ebay a few years ago.

If you managed to connect to your ext BT GPS, really appreciate if you could provide a step-by-step instruction.

TIA.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:

Hi, in the storage settings for attachments my phone picks up the RAM Disk as the storage card (shows 15.88MB of free memory). Is there any way of setting the SD card as the storage card??..also is there any way of saving files received by Bluetooth directly to the SD card?...the only other issues i had was that unlike the 6.1/6.5 ROMs, theres no way of setting a custom currency (text field replaced with a drop box) and my operator's name isn't listed so it just shows up as numbers. Other than these small issues the ROM is great, the best I've used till now. The battery lasts for two whole days on a single charge and the phone hasn't hung even once since the re-flash.:)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
no, the mail attachments at the moment cannot be stored on the sd card, that is why the next version is not gonna have a ramdisk. and no, bluetooth received files cannot be stored in the sd card directly unless you use bluetooth explorer, and let the other phone push files directly to your shared folder.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Wr4i7h:
I've been using this rom for the past few days and so far, I like it. Great job.

I have a small contribution to make. The default WM6.5 wallpaper is a 24 bit jpeg that doesn't look too good on the BA's 16 bit display. I have dithered the images myself, and it looks much better, the gradients are much smoother. To use this, just copy the images in the attached zip to \windows, replacing the existing images, and soft rest. Also, if anyone wants to use this in their WM build, go right ahead...

For the record, I used Graphest Depthdither, check it out if you want to modify other wallpapers to better suit the BA.

hello

1.if some how i am not able to open task manager to kill the process called wcescomm.exe" and "WCSEMgr.exe" will it affect the flashing a new rom on spv m2000. in this scenario what can be done.

2. is there any other way to kill that above said process please let me know.

3 please suggest some radio version that supports your rom.

additional information

os win xp sp2

microsoft activesync 4.5

windows mobile 6.5

radio version 1.06.02

extrom version black kernel

model number ph20b
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
1. why can't you kill the processes? aren't they running or do you get an error message?

the point of killing the processes is that sometimes, if you don't, in step 6 there is no version number shown and that means the flashing won't start. you can still try to proceed without step 4 and if you are not having trouble with step 6, you are fine.

and for 3. any radio version is fine with any rom, so if you feel like you need to upgrade the radio, just try the newest one, R 1.15.00, which can be downloaded here: http://rapidshare.com/files/341983550/radio_.nbf

just put it in the folder with your rom and your RUU and it will be flashed together with the rom.

trying to flash without that process 'will it lead to unstable performance of pda' i mean is it a risk of any type which may cause any hardware damage?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
1. if we are talking about you private pc, and you are certain, that neither you yourself, nor anyone in your network restricted you to access administrative features like the task manager, it really sounds like a virus, or a trojan, that tries to keep running by disabling you to kill its process. in that case you should really consider re-installing windows, because mostly, after cleaning those nasty things, the system is handicapped and slow, because they leave their garbage deep in the system. but i can hardly tell from here, whether that is the case, just an opinion.

2. i have never heard of that. it might be true for other devices, maybe even by other manufacturers, but that is certainly not true for the blueangel. also by just not killing activesync there can be no hardware damage. in my earlier post i stated, that you should try and go on with the upgrade process, because the only difference between a killed-off activesync and activesync still running is, that

sometimes

, when it is still running, the upgrade would start, but get stuck at 0%, it just does not start, but there is no harm done, you can simply soft reset and continue using the device until you figure out a way to flash the device. other possibility is, that it simply starts upgrading and there is no problem at all. there would be no difference to normal flashing then.

3. the differences in the radio versions is minimal. people speak of better speech quality while phoning. i am pretty satisfied with version 1.15.00. it certainly doesn't hurt, going with the newest version.
