For some reason my 8525 does not work with any rom with AKU 3.3, when I try to enter the comm manager it gives me that wait sign, and when it goes away nothing happens. Also the phone always says no service, and it does not even recognize when I don't have a sim card in. But the biggest problem is when I downgraded back to my old rom my Wlan does not work. No matter how i try and turn it on it does not start. If I try to start it in comm manager, i get that wait sign, and when it goes away the wlan is still off, the keyboard shortcut doesnt work either. I have reflashed the phone many times, and that hasnt fixed the wlan problem. BTW i flash from an sd micro card because I have windows vista and the regular upgrade method doesnt work on it.
Is there anybody that could please help me, it is out of warranty because I bought it on ebay, and I don't have the money to go about buying another one or repairing it (do they even repair pocket pcs these days?)
I toook the battery out and smelled the inside of the 8525, I think it smelled kinda funny, is it possible for the wlan chip to burn out?
btw, i will be willing to reward the person who helps me fix my pda (don't expect too much, im broke, probably $20 through paypal)
The first thing you need to do is flash to original ROM using XP and a USB cable.

Just asking, but would that be any different from getting the .nbh file from the original rom and flashing from SD, or does something different happen that could be causing my problem?

So just out of curiosity, what made you smell your Hermes? Because I tend to smell things, and I wondered if it was just the urge to smell it, or if you anticipated the burning-electronics smell...

I wouldnt trust flashing in two ways:
1. Retractable usb cable
2. SD card
You never know what can go wrong. Use XP and a REAL USB cable. If you still have a problem, very possibly you still will, but at least we can mark that off the list.

I never used virtual PC before, I dual boot.
hypothetically, If I flashed to the original rom using XP and the wlan still didn't work what would I do next? Also i just realized that my pda is hotter than normal, and sometimes when i plyg it in the amber light blinks instead of being solid.
LOL. I hope you have a warranty.
I dont know, if your WLAN wont even power on after a SUCCESSFUL flash of a confirmed good ROM (the original ROM) then you sound screwed to me.

Well anyone have any info about the AKU 3.3 and phone module problem? I think it might have something to do with the radio
@cjchriscj
I think you already know you have an issue. Base on this thread and your responses, it sounds like you have a feeling things are not right. Most of the time when you feel that way, you are usually correct.

yea, I kinda assumed that, but my 8525 has many problems, I posted about another problem that I have where I can't use the onboard microphone for voice calls, only note recording, and the wired headset's mic doesnt work either. The only way that I can use my 8525 as a phone is with a bluetooth headset which I fortunatley have. But, I'm over that problem. I need help with the AKU 3.3 roms messing up the phone radio

you need to go back the shipped original ROM since we know that ROM works. AKU 3.3 is TEST so it is not good to use it as a hardware diagnostic tool.

whoa, thats news to me, I thought cingular officially released the new rom
Is there any sort of diagnostic tool for the hermes? I remember when i had my Ipaq Hx2415 it had a self diagnostic tool that would check all the functions (wifi, bluetooth, sound, touchscreen, buttons, etc). It would be great to see if something is really wrong with my wifi
OK now i think that the wifi is running but the pda doesnt know it. The battery is draining faster than normal and also it runs very hot. I put it to charge and when i came back it was blinkin amber and almost dead (yes, it was plugged in)

Dont get me wrong. 2005 is quite good, However:
1. Activesync 4 isnt working
2. The camera software is crap
3. None of my software programs run on it.
4. Every time i change the screen aspect, the alignment is wrong.
5. The damn thing conects the gprs while im asleep and i wake up with no credit left.
So i want to go back to 2003se.
But I cant because activesync doesn't work properly Bluetooth A/S works (sort of)
Any solutions...?
Can't you use USB instead? It'll be safer..
Be warned though, if ur also planning to downgrade from AS4 to AS3.8 (mainly bcos backup/restore) you'll face some big problems.. It made me regret for upgrading to WM2005 and AS4..
Done it...
I got an octopus to press the buttons until the serial 1.01 thingy was displayed.
stuck it in the cradle
ran the 2003se software.
Im sticking with AS4...

In a moment of madness I upgraded from 2k3 to 2k5 and instantly regretted it (after picking my way slowly throught the v. good instructions on here).
I've got as far as you have stated, but which ROM do I need for 2k3SE and how do I do it?

With WM6, I had matched my bluetooth earphone with prophet,then I can see the BT headphone symbol on dialing menu.However, if I reboot Prophet, the connection will lost,when I making a call, it won't auto connect to my BT earphone(the WM5 rom did),I have to open setting->connect>BT rematch it to use my earphone.
The problem also happens if,
1.First build connection between phone and BT earphone.
2.Take away the phone only(far enough to let them unable to communicate)
3.Take back the phone and make a call. The BT connection won't re-connect untill you re-matching it.
It makes me very inconvience, thanks a lot if someone can help me to fix it.
Thank you!
I have the very same problem in all of PDAViet's roms. After soft reset the bluetooth partnership setting is gone (although the symbol of the paired device is still there..) I have asked for a fix several times but no one seems to care.. Very strange that only a few people seem to make regular use of their bluetooth headset....

Why do you complain so unsympatically? Remember that you flashed your device yourself. Nobody forced you, nobody let you pay for the software. You downloaded all by yourself a file that a smart person somewhere in Vietnam or Thailand or Russia or where ever, has put together becourse his hobby is to fool around with his PDA. That same person was so friendly to let the whole world join in on his party.
But don't complain when that person don't like to spend his time on your problems, for as far we know his doesn't have a BT headset at all and isn't interested in that functionality. It will become a whole different piece of meat when you had purchased the ROM, but you haven't....... did you....?
Cool...
rondol1 - I like your thinking, my sentiments exactly.
is there anyone can help?
Same sproblem with other bluetooth devices
I think it is not just a BT headset problem but a BT stack problem. I'm using a BT GPS and I had to re-pair GPS and Prophet each time I use (althoughit seems like it is already paired)
It is irrelevant maybe but similar problem exist on e-mails. I create an account for my email provider, download e-mails, but after a reset it looks like my e-mail setting are gone (have to re-configure it) But even when it seems settings are gone I can see it on my today plugin that I have such number of e-mails ( I can get to see them)

I did NOT "complain" about the problem not being fixed so far, but about the missing reaction of some of this community when I posted the question about the status of this problem on new ROMs several times (which this forum should be there for) and there was just no answer at all. Because I do not want to flash my device with every new "release" only to find out that the problem is still there. I am indeed aware of the fact that not everyone is using BT functionality and that a new OS manually adapted to an "older" device is something that cannot be free of issues from the beginning.
Any change on this behaviour with the new PDAViet ROM 4.0.0.0.6 Touch? Anyone tried?
Same problem
Thanks for All and for every thing they did to make prophet for WM6 but this bluetooth problem is really killing me also every time i am using my car bluetooth i have to pair
Same problem in all rom's
Have tried almost all rom's, same problem.
The problem seems not to be releated to the diffrent BT stacks. Have tried different. Also it is not related to the BT devices. Have used Handfree. Stereo headset. GPS unit. Serial ports on remote PC etc. All have the same problem. Works when paired. Then after a soft reset unit are still in the BT list. But they have all have to be re paired to work.
Surely have something to do, with the units loosing most, or some of the settings after reset. Its an anoying problem, which we all will have to look into.
All the new rom's are nice to have, and to play with. But if we wants the rom's to be good for regular and daily use. We sure needs to fix this problem.
I will start to do my own little investigation, trying to fix the problem.
The problem is the same in all rom's. So if its solved in one rom, I'm pretty sure its solved in all roms. (99% sure , I think)

I know why this is but so far I havn't figured out how to solve it.... the problem is that settings are stored in the ram and not the rom... the way we need to get it to work is have the regestry moved to the extrom and that way it can be writen to directly without having to keep the regestry in the ram..... this can be done but I havn't fully understood how this is don't because I've been trying so hard to figur uot the X button problem... but I'm reading up on how to do that

Strange thing is, I've tried a few WM6 ROM, but never had any problems with lost emailsettings. I use it a lot, and just as everybody, I have to do a soft reset, once in a while...
So, the RAM storage as you describe isn't lost in all cases but also written to ROM.
As for BT I only use my gps-receiver and even that one only now and then It seems t work fine, but to be honest most of the time I've flashed my Prophet between several times....
I've the same problem with BT : always working with BT GPS, always loosing my BT Headset (try with 3 differents Headsets ...).
Be with devellop's team for correct this probem, and not with guy who critic this post without an BT Headset .... This is a forum and the critic is here to help the building of a 'very good' and more stabe as possible WM6 Rom ...
All together for the future ....

try change your battery or just pull out your battery overnight, i'm sure you will experience this problem. Sometimes on my phone when battery goes below 50% if I reset will loose setting sometimes. Just annoying but i can live with it.
The only way to keep your bluetooth, wifi and email settings all the time without worries is to use WM5.
If someone wants to try the bug, just soft-reset the phone while connected to the PC via activesync.
I guess that you will lose your settings (i'm not 100% sure because I'm now using WM5).
okeee.....
That are things I didn't try indeed. But at the other hand, what hould I want to do all that?
Tried the battery-change right away. Everything is still in order, no settings missing, time and date still as it should, email working as it allways did.
I did shut down my device first though.

You might be one of the lucky ones then. I believe majority of us looses settings at various times. what model specs are your device do you have anyway? is it new when u purchased? the reason i asked cuz somewhere i read there is a "button cell battery" might be a wizard thing not prophet devices.

I did buy my S200 new, without any branded OS, that means straight from Qtek. It's a G4, other specs Im willing to tell when you can precise what you want to know.
But... I don't want to be arrogant... when I read the many bug-reports I get the feeling that a majority don't use their device as it is supposed to. If you imagine that it is a small device with very limited hardware specs, it's not hard to understand that it isn't as foolprove as your desktop computer...
But again, it's just a feeling I get by reading many post, I also know that some of you have serious issues that cannot be explained from maluse point of view.
Dear Xda Experts!
My name is Guy, I own an Xda Atom and I critically need your help...
About a month ago my life became miserable as the wifi module of the poor device has stopped functioning completely: It doesn't start when I click Menu->Turn on Wifi, doesn't respond to wireless manager clicks, fails the self diagnostics test etc.
After looking all over the relevant internet forums, I've found This post, suggesting I put the atom in the fridge for a few minutes. I've done that - and suprisingly - the wifi began functioning for a few minutes time. After that, it returned to its normal state of misfunctioning.
I understand that the problem is being caused by some sort of a heating problem within the device.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Rom experts (especially Jiggs) : is there a registry edit that might help, maybe to take some pressure of the processor, or to prevent the disappearance of the wifi as the device heats?
I bought the Atom especially because the wifi ability, as it is highly important to me, and as for now I'm seriously disappointed. The O2's support's laconic response was "Try the official ROM" (My warranty period is over).
Needless to say, I have already tried Hard resets, Rom upgrades of all kinds, flashing and reflashing, taking out the battery for a few days and nothing worked.
Please try to assist,
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thank you all,
Guy Sando.
Same with me.
Hi Guy,
I have the same problem with my Atom.
I tried to reinstall ROMs/Hard Reset and nothing helped.
One day in the morning after charging it all over the night, the WIFI suddenly started to work, but only for few hours.
Hope someone would have an idea.

Dear Jeffkewin, thanx for the response.
Do you have a link or maybe a bit more specific name of the software that you recommended? (Btw, Software replacement seems a bit like a long shot, because of the fact that the "fridge-therapy" works for the wifi...)
As for the AKU's - I've tried them both, they're really nice, but none of them has fixed my wifi issue...
Maybe The upcoming WM6 Rom will. I keep my fingers crossed...
Thanks again,
Guy.
Can u goto the Settings, Connections, use the Wi-fi Utility.
Ignore the Turn on and off button. Turn on is turn off, turn on is turn on.. that the only text bugs, but the software is working fine.
Try SPB phone suite wireless icon
it happened to me one time while trying to reflashed ROM. When im going to Wireless Manager, I cant open my wifi. But if im trying to open it in SPB Phone suite , its working...maybe try this software. download it and i will give to you the serial for registration. But first try if it is work then thats the time i will give to you...

Unfortunately, The solutions you proposed are not working. I have tried Phonesuite, Hitch-hiker and many more - none have worked.
I have also tried ignoring the text in the "Wifi utilities" application (In many different Rom versions) - still no good...
Has someone encountered the same problem and got it solved? Is there something about the Rom version that can fix this?
Thanks again,
Guy.
If you're using the official ROM and it's not working, then this is more hardware related. 'Fridge Theraphy' is not normal for your device. You have no choice but to go to service center, have it estimated for cost. You can buy now a brand new Atom at $250 or less.
Alternate solution would be a $50-$100 SDIO wifi card, but I think none would fit the miniSD slot.
There are miniSDIO wifis. They're pretty much the only miniSDIO devices. However, you're still better off getting a new device.
Sounds like your wifi module's overheating. This is a hardware problem (just like cracking speakers) and there's no way to fix it permanently short of a physical repair.
Good News
I had the same problem.
I tried almost every single possible solution which was discussed on this forum, including the Fridge Therapy. Fridge therapy really worked for a couple of minutes.
Finally, I took it to the service center and they said, the problem is with the board and the cost of repair is $400/-.
I was put off and challenged to see, something which works after the fridge therapy will stop working at room temperature.
Finally, I realized, the last thing beyond the ROM which I changed was the MS Active Sync. I had using Active Sync Ver 4.5. It seems to have some conflict. I reverted back to Active Sync Ver. 4.1 and reflased the original rom.
It worked and Active Sync Ver. 4.1 is working perfectly fine for my device. After the WiFi worked, I reflashed it to Jiggs latest WM6 ROM and its working well.
Might sound wiered, but the fact, I could resolve this issue by reverting back to Active Sync. 4.1.
Hope this helps to all dissappointed users of Atom.

Anand

Dear Anand,
Thank you very much for your help.
I'm anxious to see if that's gonna work for me as well.
I'll try going back to AS 4.1 right now and will let you know.
Keep your fingers crossed for me!
Many thanks again!
Guy.
I'm happy for you mate, but that just sounds like the biggest load of bollocks I've ever heard it just proves how unpredictible and unreliable our Atoms are, my Wifi has also gone on the blink for one or two weeks at a time and then for no apparent reason it fixes itself. Although I suppose running the Atom Exec rom in the Atom doesnt help nor the fact we run overclock apps to 624MHZ
I have now finished downgrading to AS 4.1 and to the official ROM.
Unfortunately, that did not do the trick. Thinking about it, seems like Homer is right:
The AS doesn't start communicating with the device until its connected to the desktop, after the HR and the SR that follow the ROM upgrade. therefore, there's no obvious reason why it should affect the wifi module, which seems to be off even before that connection. In addition - Anand, how did you get the AS 4.1 to work with the WM6 ROM? Isn't AS 4.5 the only version that works with WM6?
As been said, our devices are totally unpredictable, which is really disappointing. I'm happy for you, for getting everything running, and I hope that my device will do that as well soon.
I'll be more than glad if someone here will be able to assist in that matter.
Thank you all,
Guy.

I have not yet syncronized my device with WM6 and AS 4.1. I just used it to reflash the Atom.
Also, I have heard, of AS to have an impact on WiFi Connectivity in the past.
Mine is still working fine. Infact, WiFi with WM6 is working much better than WM5.
Also, another thing which my help to have a logical conclusion is the fact, that when I used to sync with my laptop's WiFi on, my PDA's WiFi used to dissappear and when the Laptop's WiFi was off, it used to work well.
To be honest, I tried many things, starting flashing the first Atom update to the cooked roms, with AS downgrade. I wanted to share my experience, was quite excited that it may help many other like me.
Feel sorry for you :-(

WIFI mulfunction
It sounds completly reasonable - a sofware conflict.
I have the same the problem.
However, one morning after recharging my ATOM for a complete night, the WIFI module suddenly worked in the morning till I......used the active sync 4.5 to synchronize it.
I will try to reinstall the 4.1 version and see how it works for me.

Does anybody know how to disable the microdrive without opening the athena. I do not need it anymore and whe disabled the device can function much longer with the same battery.

Does anybody know how to disable the microdrive without opening the athena. I do not need it anymore and whe disabled the device can function much longer with the same battery.

I managed to disable mine once, but accidentally. I don't know if it will work for you, but I took the official HTC Advantage 7501 ROM from here and I used Dutty's good NBHTool from here and I stripped it down to only the OS and flashed it. My microdrive was then inaccessable until I flashed a different ROM and formatted it using WM5torage and an XP machine.
Again, I don't know if what I did was a one-time mistake or not. And it might totally mess up your machine. But if you really want to turn off your microdrive...
To tell the truth though, I didn't notice any significant battery-life change.

Or hey, if you really want to get radical and crazy, you could try flashing a 7510 ROM which doesn't include the microdrive drivers... But it would probably be safer just to open the Athena and yank that little sucker out of there.
I'm thinking this is impossible, but thought someone may know a solution.
I dropped my hd2 a few mths back and the screen cracked. It was fully functional up until this morning when a piece of glass was hanging out, so I pulled it off, now the touch screen wont respond, only the physical buttons.
I am looking for a way to be able to use the handset with a pc so I can do back ups of data etc..
Anyone got any ideas?
My first thought was the wifi access tool which lets you get full control of the unti via wifi, but I cannot run it.
Catch 22 situation.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
i think its possible with mymobiler.
connect your phone via usb (active sync) and it should work...
but i'm not sure if you have to accept the installation on your phone..wouldn't be nice to you

I'll give that a go later (cant download it in work ), hopefully no acceptance is required on the handset.
