[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aubreykloppers:
6.5 WOWS

Hi everone - I have started with some testing and am posting my steps/findings as I went along. It is not complete, yet, as I am still getting the HANG problem.

Prior to the following steps, I installed the ROM from HTC for my TYTNII Release 6.1

Steps followed:

(First Backed the TYTNII up using PIM BACKUP 2.8)

(Removed MEMORY and SIM)

a.1. Copied JUMPSPL1.56 to DEVICE.

a.2. RAN 3.34 SPL installer.

a.3. REBOOT OK.

b.1. ENABLED ACTIVE SYNC USB.

b.2. RAN 1.70.19.09 RADIO installer.

b.3. REBOOT OK (R: 1.70.19.09)

c.1. RAN "ahmedfikry wm6.5 23549 Tilt UC light rom" installer.

c.2. REBOOT OK. (WM6.5 loaded)

(AT THIS STAGE: SIM and MEMORY still removed.)

d.1. Aligned the SCREEN.

d.2. SET TIME/DATE (GMT+2 Pretoria)

d.3. Skipped Protection.

d.4. Ran auto MORTSCRIPT and RESET the device once finished.

e.1. Set partnership with ActiveSync. (nothing to sync/allow wireless data connection)

e.2. Inserted MEMORY CARD and restored device using PIMBACKUP.

Running Task Manager (Still no SIMM, but with MEM):

1. I found CPROG.EXE using (for a while) very high CPU usage. This did, however come right after a while.

2. Installed RESCO REGISTRY (AND FILE MANAGER) EDITOR and changed the following keys:

2.a. HKLM/Software/HTC/Deblogger - deleted.

2.b. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ FLASHDRV\IMGFS and change xip=0 to 1

2.c. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ Relfsd and put paging=0 to 1

3. Installed your QUICKGPSFIX and rebooted.

At this stage the system is still running at about 85-87% idle. No problems so-far.

(SIMM is still NOT PLUGGED IN!)

4. Installed HTC PHONE Canvas DIALER.

5. Shut HTC down and inserted SIMM...

AFTER SIMM INSERT:

1. Booted Device OK.

2. Activated SIM with ISP. (HSDPA comming up 100% OK and downloaded ISP info ok.)

3. Started TASK MANAGER. (System still running 84% Idle TIME!!!)

At this stage I also have to mention that TASK MANAGER takes about 15%! VERY SMOOVE!!!

Waited about 10min (I went for a smoke), tried to dial my number and the system was unresponsive.

(Telephone number not available!)

Problem:

1. Rebooted the system, went into phone settings and changed band from auto to GSM.

2. After about 10 min the system became unresponsive again. Rebooted and,

3. Changed BAND SETTINGS from (auto) to (UMTS(2100)+GMS(900+1800)) as I recall on my previous release (6.0 and 6.1) this seemed to be a problem...

4. System still unresponsive after 10MIN.

5. The system is very slow, but getting to start TASK MANAGER it still shows CPU USAGE as 84%???

I then decided to re-install RADIO 1.70.19.09:

1. Updating ROM was 100% ok.

2. Set BAND and Settings to auto, system still hangs up.

So, by now I have tried Kaiser's radios 1.71.09.01 and 1.70.19.09. I decided to start going backwards with the radios:

1. 1.70.18.02 - Updated 100% - Result: Still goes into HANG.

2. 1.65.21.18 - Updated 100% - Result: Still goes into HANG.

3. 1.64.08.21 - Updated 100% - Result: Still goes into HANG.

At this stage, I am going to plug my SIM out and reboot to see if the problem still happens. I will post an update a bit later.

Cheers

Aubrey

ps - Is there any way (if it points to the SIM) that I can prove it is the sim? (Any utility out there to test the sim?)

<UDATE>

After unplugging my SIM the system is running fine. I am now going to take the SIM to my ISP and ask for a SIM-SWAP. It seems the problem is related to the SIM, as the phone does not GO-SLOW with the SIM inserted.

Cheers and I will update once a new SIM has been inserted.

<UPDATE2>

After swopping the SIM to a 3G SIM it seems the problem is gone. I will revert to the latest RADIO and if a problem I will report it.

Thanx
