4.01.00 ups and downs or "it's out and free"

[decebal]

Ok people ...
since this one is spreading let's pull up a list of what you can or you cannot get with this one.

Version 4.20.0 (Build 13252)
RSU 6.24.01

The SIM software has a "Built Oct 14 2003" ...

AND YES !!! The Messenger is updated and it's working.

That's the first impresion.

[decebal]

So first step in the kitchen :

remember the params for the 4.00.21 ?

old stuff


wincever=4
start1=81740000
size1=00040000
start2=81c00000
size2=00300000
startbmp=81ec0000
startop=81c00000
that was over 3.4M of free space

NOW @ 4.01.00:
wincever=4
start1=81740000
size1=00040000
start2=81c00000
size2=00300000
startbmp=81ec0000
startop=81c00000

that is IDENTICAL
so ... again some space to fit our little "must have" apps.

[boomerdogg]

Ya, but where do you get it :)

[decebal]

thanks to ddevilx2 you can go to:

130.39.48.102 port 21
login tmobile password rom

[MacXda]

Are there any kitchen's online where we can cook this up?

thanks in advance
:)

[decebal]

obviously not "YET" ... since the only available is Yorch's ... and he's getting married ... you should probably start unsing your linux box or cygwin and set up your own.

it's fun :wink:

[JUICEe]

BALL & CHAIN :roll:

[valheru]

I've tried to set one up a couple of times to no avail. If someone wants to help me set one up I will host it at my expense. Let me know. I have all the 4.00.x ROMS and would like to make them all available.

BTW, I extracted the nk.nbf file from the exe so you don't have to change radio stacks.

[ntwebguy]

thanks to ddevilx2 you can go to:

130.39.48.102 port 21
login tmobile password rom

very sweet! thanks decebal & ddevilx2

[Startup]

I tried that ftp site and it likes tmobil okay but not the password rom....any suggestions?

[valheru]

Worked for me 20 min ago

[Startup]

it is exactly as the post says: tmobil/rom
as opposed to t-mobile or T-Mobil/ROM or some such?

[Startup]

got it...its Tmobile/rom for those of you who have yet to try.

[groggrog]

UGH. I think I just blew up my T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone. I downloaded the 4.01.00 per this thread and tried installing. During the radio stack upgrade it said "upgrade failed". The windows app came up with a message that said that I could recover from it by removing the usb cable and resetting the device. The upgrade should then recover. It never recovers though - I get as far as "Welcome to T-Mobile Test Only Not For Sale", with the version information showing as:
G
R
4.00.21
Never makes it past that. I tried the hard reset button as well with no luck.

I realize that this is the risk I take, but can anybody help???

Thanks!

[valheru]

Not sure what you can do.

BE WARNED PEOPLE that an .exe install is the RISKIEST way to update your device. Do an SD card method instead.

[maxlw]

Can anyone tell me if this ROM (4.01.00) is for 900/1800 MHZ or 900/1900 MHZ devices?

TIA,

Max

[ntwebguy]

All I saw on the FTP server is the exe file, is there a nbf file?

[valheru]

Just open the .exe with winrar or winzip, then you just extract the .nb file or more if you wish. Anyone have a listing of the differences with this ROM?

[JUICEe]

OK, IVE BEEN HERE

RESET DEVICE, PUT ON CHARGER [NOT CONECTED TO PC, JUST CHARGING], AND JUST LEAVE IT THERE... DONT DO ANYTHING, IT WILL LOAD, AFTER LIKE 30 MINZ OR SO :mrgreen:

WHEN OS LOADS, DELETE THE 4 RS UPGRADE FILES FROM WINDOWS DIR.

THEN IF U WANNA GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY, DECOMPRESS THE 4 FILES FROM THE *.EXE FILE AND MANUALLY PLACE EM BACK TO WINDOWS DIR. ... AND IF NO LUCK, GO WITH ATT STACK, LOW FAILURE RATE (as i am told) 8)

[ntwebguy]

Ok I feel stupid, man that was easy.

[decebal]

THE RSU (Radio Stack Upgrade) is ONLY for US T-Mobile (900/1900) but you can upgrade all XDAs with the nk.nbf file written on an SD card.

the file is in
C:\Program Files\RUU\english

DO NOT USE AUTOMATIC UPGRADE ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A NON US VERSION

[valheru]

Glad I could help.

If ANYONE can help me setup a kitchen I will host it will ALL available ROMS. Just let me know.

[ntwebguy]

what radio stack comes with this?

[decebal]

RSU 6.24.01

[ntwebguy]

RSU 6.24.01

any changes since 6.24.00 that you know of? (just wondering if I care to upgrade that)

[ranmasaotomes]

Is there anything for XDA Users as I notice that this is for the T-Mobile

[groggrog]

You are SO RIGHT!!! That's exactly what happened - waited about 30 minutes and it came up. I'll follow the process you noted and continue on.

they both start with "monitor"

[Startup]

:oops: :( I don't know why I'm having so much trouble, but the FTP site I get to now allows me to login but just hangs when I try to issue ANY command (including an ls -l). Any way someone can point me to another location to get this or tell me what the heck I need to do to get that site to talk to me. :(

[ntwebguy]

here is the file name: RUUv2.04b_CEv4.01.00wwe_VS_Ozone_Test_(Integrate_R adio_6.24.01).exe

don't list, just get it...maybe you are not in passive mode? I have no trouble listing.

[jta]

Startup,

You may need to set your ftp client to request 'PASSIVE' mode... especially if you are behind a firewall that is configured to block...

after you log in, and you get a prompt type:
QUOTE "PASV"

to tell the server to use passive mode.

If you are using a windows FTP Client, there is probalby a setting to tell it to use passive mode.

hope this helps!

[Toshiro]

many many thanks to all who make this happen... your are the greatest.. :D

[ebswift]

For that ftp... use Windows Explorer and type this in the address bar :

ftp://tmobile:rom@130.39.48.102:21

Then copy the file to any local folder.

BTW, thanks for making that file available on ftp for us :)

[Toshiro]

anyone experience SD erase so far?

[Arkhangel]

Yes, this version of the ROM will NOT fix that issue. This is still a known issue that supposedly is one of the reasons that it hasn't been released.

[Toshiro]

it just happened to me... i've lost the content of my 256 MB SD card :(

thanks to Jta and ntwebguy. I believe you are correct...it almost certainly has something to do with my firewall. I will try it from home tonight.

I tried both of your suggestions and as before, it just hangs on the first command that is sent to the server. In previous cases it was ls -l now it is get <filename>. It responds saying it is executing my command but never comes back.

Thanx again guys.
Startup.

[JUICEe]

my card has never been erased on any of the Roms, and on 4.00.21 i hardley ever had to restart, unlike the other Rom verions...too early to see wuts up with this one, but everything seems smooth

RS 6.24 was horrible @ 1st, but for last few weeks i switched bak from ATT & it worked really well, i never had dropped or mised calls, reception everywhere outside my house was fine+ gprs was consistant, now with 6.24.01 gprs never drops, an i have better voice reception everywhere + more bars

the "setup up me email" was pretty lame, useless waste of space

and now u can finally turn off gprs with "flight mode" pretty corn-ball, but it works

[wayandrs]

I'm just another fool like all of us on here, uploading no matter what new crap onto my $400 phone. As long as it's new, it could be better, right?

The fact that T-Mobile won't release this one yet is giving me pause though... any ideas why they're hanging on to it? What's eating this version of 2003?

Also, I have to say, in T-Mobile's defence... they're trying to release a piece of Microsoft software. Not even Microsoft can do that on time and without significant bugs. How could anybody else. Kudos for them for even attempting it. After all, you already have a working device.

[ntwebguy]

I was noticing that too, the new radio stack seems to get a little better reception.

Wish I had this 4.01.00 when I was flying last week, then I could have used the "FLIGHT MODE"

instead I just had .21's turn phone off mode... :D

[JUICEe]

strange..........happened on a a buncha occasions

while device has ben "off" (pressing top left button) for a few mins,; outa no where, the screen turns on, ill think its a call...an wen i look, thers nothing, its like....there :o a ghost in the machine :shock:

[MrDollyMaker]

got it...its Tmobile/rom for those of you who have yet to try.

I think i've seen this too, I thought the thing was just turning on in my pocket (hitting a button or something) I turned on lock buttons excpt power button. Hopefully that will fix it.

[JUICEe]

its not that im hitting a button on accidant, because Id have it sittin in my car, an Ill see it light up, or @ home on my couch, an ill see it light up; so i thought it was a call......and im not sure the interval, but it happens @ the same time every time, but if i let it turn off on its own (backlight/power settings) it stays off

[GregP74]

I think I've noticed that too. I installed 4.01.00 last week, and a couple times I've been sitting here and though :shock: that phone wasn't lit up a minute ago

[ronin]

Is the phone connected to the craddle? If it is this is caused by a port call from the OS...checking for updates.

I also noticed that sometimes, GPRS sends a "ping"like signal to the devices that is sometimes perceived as a call and it lights up...
:idea:

Hmmmmmm.... A ping signal would do it to verify that the unit is still connected. It would preceive it as a call or SMS or some other data received. :wink:

[JUICEe]

that sounds like whats going on, but I think its annoying (& bat. wastefull)

@ Ronin...i just realized somthing........ever since that problem yesterday, u know GPRS thing...the device hasnt been lighting up/turning on

[ronin]

Do a soft reset and then go to the backlight settings and make sure the backlight is on. Sometimes it gets shut off- No earthly idea why!

Also has your phone locked when you try to receive a call? It has happend 3 times in the past two days... Really weird!

4.01.00 is just as same as old T-mobile 2003, buggy and untable.
most problems that I found in 4.21 and 4.11 are still there.

[valheru]

So far 4.00.11 is the best one for me. No SD card erasures, email works np, etc. Although I think the SD card erasures are related to leaving programs open that are linked to your sd card. When the device wakes up it clears the sd card. Also, closing a program ie explorer when it is pointed to your sd card is a problem too. Try pointing your progs to "my device" prior to closing or leaving for an extended period of time and you should not have any erasures. Just my .02.

Hmmmm, 4.00.16 and 4.01 have had no SD card erasures, email works fine in both, my light no longer pops on periodically for no reason, signal is much stronger than before, left programs on forever that point to my sd card.... All in all, 4.01 seems faster than 4.00.16. It has some interesting new toys, even though some are just new names for old things. I.e. Flight Mode=Power Off.

Misterdollymaker

[valheru]

Can you name a few of the new items?

[MrDollyMaker]

Can you name a few of the new items?

-Well, there is that "Flight Mode" bit for starters, I did notice that my PPC seems to run a bit slower when that is engaged also so I think it might lower the CPU speed to lessen the RF output and such.
-There's this Syncrologic thing that I haven't tried yet. Microsoft Reader comes pre-installed finally.... granted I never do use it yet.
-The memory manager seems to be more aggressive now and keeps my memory running properly for a change insted of having to go in and adjust things myself.
-Thave a wireless Ethernet option in the settings/connections window that lets me go in and configure my network adapters.
-I have a new ring tone.
-There is this T-Mobile My E-Mail thing for the Today Screen. (Additionally to the normal T-Mobile thing)
-The low Battery Warning event now is in the Sounds & Notifications and has "Display message on screen" as an option along with flash light and vibrate and play sound.
-One thing I'm not sure if this is the same in the older roms, but if you use Check Notifications and have sat any reminder alarms your notification events go through the roof! mine went from a normal 7 to 19 by adding just one. :evil:
-Outside of that, haven't had much time to see more. 8)

I think it could possibly be that new radio update. I just finished dowgrading to the previous version, going to see if I still get the "ghost screen"

[pdhenry]

Syncrologic looks to be just a html file advertising a business connectivity suite.

Set up email is useful for about a day, then you'll want to go into setup and get it off of the Today screen. The email is much more useful now, you can configure the inbox to query the server on a schedule regardless of whether the PDA is on or off.

"Flight Mode" is nice in that it's more explicit in stating "Phone is off."

I'm hoping to see 4.01.00 in a Kitchen soon - there's a few other apps I'd like to squeeze into the ROM.

Everytime we do a cold or hot reset there is a signal sent to TMobile or AT&T( you can actually place yourself in the receiver list: HINT: in the registry) . So it is possible that they send some kind of SIM or SMS to check out the new radio stacks we are all using...

I just thought of something but it would not be cool for us users, but a killer app for the providers! :lol:

[brices21]

I've been using the new version 4.01.00 ENG, radio 6.24.01... a few observations:

The setup MyEmail option on the today screen goes away after you actually set it up(I did). And it's not bad, but a little slow in sending the notification SMS's. And t-mobile's servers seem a bit flakey.

Mine is also in need of an old priest and a young priest. It's always turning on for no aparent reason. I have noticed that it seems a little better when I let it turn itself off, as apposed to hitting the power button, but it'll still do it. Another thing to note... Before I did the upgrade, it was doing this as well. So it was happening to me under the original ROM/RADIO as well. Not sure about this one, but it is very annoying.

pIE rocks now(thanks WM2003)...

I can't disconnect the GPRS whenever I want to anymore(without soft-reset) the option just isn't available. I don't really care about this, especially with t-mobile's unlimited data package, but it's just kinda weird.

The whole thing seems to run faster.

Overall, I love it... By the way, I did the .exe upgrade, and worked great :)

[Nossie]

pocket IE rocks now? why what did they do? steal and rename an opera binary? lol

seriously though... why does this revision make it so good? looks like the same old slack ware to me :(

[macudc]

Hold down the red phone button for approx 5 secs and it will shut down GPRS connection.

Anyone seen an update for the T-Mobile release date? Do you think the delay is caused by the auto power on issue that is being discussed here?

[todo]

My German MDA flashed to english shows the following in the Device Information:
RoM Version: 1.03.00 UsA
ROM Date: 09/24/03
Radio Version: 1.05.12
Protocol Version: 1337.1 2
Am I missing something?
Folks are using RoM Version 4. 00 and above in this Forum.
Do I need an upgrade?

[brices21]

macudc, thanks for that, not sure how I missed that... :)

Nossie: The update to pIE was part of WM2003, not neccesarily this update. This is just the first time I've used WM2003 on this device. Before I just thought it was the t-mobile connection, but now I know that page high load times were also due to a crappy pIE.

As for what they actually updated, I don't have the changelog, but I'm sure you can find it...

Now, due in part to macudc's wisdom... My XDA is not constantly turning on all the time now. Anyone else notice a difference in the frequency of the auto-wakeup's when GPRS is on or off?

this indeed is weird ... when you've flashed the ROM ?

also the 4.01.00 is built in 10/27/03 so it's a month older than yours.

Easy fix for this:
When you want to disconnect GPRS, press and hold the "Red" phone button (for lack of better words). After a few seconds it turns the GPRS off.

If it ain't broke, do not fixit -or I will wait for the next major upgrade to take the plunge.
My MDA is working great apart from Mms and sms although Qman here tired to help me a lot.
As for the MDA mms program, all my German programs are over written by English programs so I do not have the mms program you are quoting.

[valheru]

Try Flight Mode to disable GPRS or just hold the red phone button and it will disconnect just GPRS and leave the phone on.

Is anyone planning on putting this ROM in a kitchen so it can be cooked with those useful utilities? Any timeframes?
Thanks guys.

[robinton]

I spoke with a T-mobile rep yesterday who said it should be availiable in the next 60 days. I also spoke with my Microsoft account rep who passed me a few more details (I've sent her a query as to whether I can share the information, hopefully more later) which I can't share completely at this point (It was about a radio issue of some sort which now appears to be solved), but hopefully will have permission to share shortly and gave me a statement which was somewhat more agressive than the T-mobile persons schedule. Nevertheless from both sides (Microsoft and T-mobile) I am now hearing very similar responses so it shouldn't be too awful long now before we see the official release of the upgrade.

lol...so Basically ur sayin, we'll have the upgrade finally in 2004 :roll:

something different happened to my device, its not exactly a SD Erase, but half (maybe more) of what was on my 64mb card is gone, and what is left doesnt work, anything that was installed by me, doesnt work any more, only files that were originally on the ROM work now.

...in check notifications i had about 90-95 events...and none of them were duplicates, b4 i was going to do a hard reset, i wanted to delete most of them an see how things run, but now i cant :mrgreen:

any thoughts peoples ?

...in check notifications i had about 90-95 events...and none of them were duplicates, b4 i was going to do a hard reset, i wanted to delete most of them an see how things run, but now i cant :mrgreen:

any thoughts peoples ?

Hmmm, what ROM verion do you have? I have 27 events now and not sure what most of them are. none are duplicates.

[jta]

What are these 'Events' that you guys are talking about?

What causes them, where are they? I have it in my head it is some Event Logger (think: Event Viewer)

Just finished speaking with a contact who informs me that the latest 'problem' was with the radio stack, not communicating properly with nortel hardware. supposedly there is a cross-talk issue with the 6.24.01 stack which results in poor performance. They apparently have it fixed, clearing the way for a release... we'll see.

[wayandrs]

Since sometime after this 4.01 upgrade my device decided that I'd be better off not sending SMS messages.

As much as that might be true, I'd still like to. Everything appears to be working, I get SMS and it says 'message sent' when I send one... but apparently that's just a warm & fuzzy illusion since nobody gets my messages.

Anybody else have this problem?

i have 4.01.00
any way i had to hard reset

@ Ronin:

b4 i hard resetted i tried lookin @ the SD card threw ActiveSync & threw the SD card writer and still it was only half, of the files, none were recoverable

maybe ill have another mishap to shed more light on this prblm :mrgreen:

intersting....(pass the pipe)... see ever since i even upgraded to WM2003 the whole "SMS Message sent" felt a lil off to me

but my device is not workin like yours, mine will say mssg could not be sent or sumthink to that affect; but in actuallity it does get sent, because, i'll get a responce.

but one thing i recently noticed is: wen im actively using a GPRS connection (loading web pages/downloading files etc etc) i wont get any of my mssgs (sms/ voicemail) till after im done loading wutever it is...im not to sure about missing calls while online, but i think it goes straight to VM, but i know on other instances, i WILL get a call threw
btw: i can always make out goaing calls or SMS's while GPRSing it up 8)

Well, this might explain some of the connection/echo issues I've been having since I've installed the newest update. Currently running 4.01.00 with RSU 6.24.01. Seems that people hear an echo of themselves when talking to me more than 50% of the time, yet I hear nothing. Kinda curious now. :)

[pdhenry]

[quote=wayandrs] im not to sure about missing calls while online, but i think it goes straight to VM,I'm running 4.00.16 with the TMobile 6.18.00 Radio stack. No problem receiving calls when GPRS is active. Given that there's no obvious way to turn off GPRS (the intent is that it's "always on") one would hope that you could receive a call while surfing.

Of course, you can't surf while you're talking - the GPRS session suspends while the phone's off the hook.

[valheru]

You can turn off GPRS by holding the red phone button.

Hmmm.... An interesting one this one. (Passes pipe back) I found I am the one hearing the echo usually and mostly to others with a PPcP.... I usually have to have them turn the volume down or I have to turn mine down if they hear an echo of me. (Easy fix is to use the hands free headset) The AT&T single earpiece one is great! :lol:

I'm wondering if the Microphone AGC feature has anything to do with this. Currently it's disabled, however I usually have enabled it in the past. Not 100% sure that it does what it says it does, but still, I like to turn everything on with my device! :)

Upgraded my XDA to ROM 4.01.00, RS 6.24.01 from ROM 4.00.21, RS 6.24.00 without a hitch. Used the .exe to do this, had SD card as backup if upgrade failed.
Peformed some checks, everything ok. Installed half my usual programs - ok. GPRS speed still consistent with RS6.24.00 results (~40K-45Kbps).
Need new T2TDisk driver from PocketPcTechs though. Have 128M memory upgraded PDA. WM2003 handles these type drivers different than PPC2002 did.
TMO Internet still doesn't connect, VPN does.
So far SD card has not been erased.

Good luck to you all who brave these "new" frontiers and a Merry Christmas to all the forum members, Yorch, XDA-Developers and JUICEe.

Just Email PocketPcTechs with a note that you upgraded to 2003, they have the new driver. I was emailed by them about it.

Hi David

If you load 2003, we will have to email you a new driver for the unit. Just
let us know when you upgrade the unit.

WM 4.01.00
RS 6.24.01

CRAP. Things worked nicely for about 2 weeks, I had minor issues with echoes on phone calls, and occasional SMS messages not going through (even though I received the "message sent" notice). I was pretty happy and hoped the official release would fix these last two bugs. (which weren't present until 6.24.01.

Starting this weekend though it has all gone to CRAP. The device turns itself on randomly. Virtually every call will have echoes or just drop on me. Random reboots have started as well. With all the dropped calls today, I came so close to hurling it across the room just to watch it shatter.

CRAP. I as much as I love the PPC:PE, it is the worst PHONE I have ever used. As a techie, I am used to this and can handle this, but I would never recommend this device to any of my end users. The issues I have had with it would drive them nuts.

[macudc]

I have had the same 10 days and then all sorts of wierdness. I'm going back to 4.0.16 w/RS 6.24.0. That was real stable for me. Teach me to upgrade when I had a good thing going!!!

Can anyone confirm ie Did someone do the ROM upgrade w/out the RS and get a stable XDA???

[andhy]

THE RSU (Radio Stack Upgrade) is ONLY for US T-Mobile (900/1900) but you can upgrade all XDAs with the nk.nbf file written on an SD card.
the file is in
C:\Program Files\RUU\english
DO NOT USE AUTOMATIC UPGRADE ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A NON US VERSION
Hi...
Do you mean that we (non T-Mobile & non US users) could use this latest ROM by upgrading thru Wallaby/ SD card method? Could you please list the file names to use? Thanks a lot...
Cheers..

[andhy]

I have sucessfuly upgraded to 4.01 using the XDAtool by copying the single nk.nbf file to the XDA ROM. I did not change the radio parts and still use the 'original' O2 Radio stack version 4.21 (coming with the ROM 3.20). But I noticed in the Device Information, my Asian O2 xda is recognized as a 10B device i.e. 900/1900.
While the phone/ GPRS are working fine, I still want to have the ability to choose between GSM900 / 1800. Could someone please explain how to manage this problem?
Again I'd like to thank XDA Developers for all their hard works and also to other visitors who have made this forum is such a pleasant place to browse through..
cheers..

[andhy]

:cry: I accidentally switched the phone mode to GSM1900 and since then the phone cannot be activated at all. I tried to flash the ROM with several other types (PPC2002, WM2003 4.05 etc.) but the system (Programme A keep saying that "ERROR to execute remote program.. make sure your USB/ Serial cable is properly connected etc. etc."
I could synchronize (i.e. the device is connected to the PC), but dont undestand why it the ROM flash / XDA tools won't work.
At some point I got an error message: "...could not connect to itsutils.dll..error opening input file"
mx xda's PDA part seemed to work like normal, but the phone is not working at all. whenever I try to switch the phone on, then the unit went in a loop/ hang. Could some one please help me and give some directions on what to do? :cry:

My suggestion is to backtrack to your original ROM using the SD Card method...

MrDollyMaker

[andhy]

MrDollyMaker, thanks a lot for your advise.
I tried to use the SD method.
Firstly, I tried to patch my Wallaby5.17 without any luck. Now, the problem got worse as the xda won't boot sucessfully. It stays on the white opening screen with the TMobile-test only message. As I mentioned, my radio part is gone. So, on the screen there was only the ROM version (4.01.00), then both the radio stack version and the other figure are blank.

What's the best way to solve this? Shall I try to use the bootloader fix? If yes, could you please additional advise?
THanks again.

I had a similar experience, the white openning screen staying on effect. What I did was I used the OSImageTool to re-write the 4.01.00 rom image to the SD card and rebooted through Wallaby 5.15 and it successfully booted. I am not sure, but you may have to use Wallaby 5.15 to do this.

Chad

[andhy]

Hi chad, thanks for the suggestion.
The thing is that I could not even patch the Wallaby 5.17 or downgrade to 5.15. I used both methods: osimage tool as well as xdarit to write to the SD card. It seemed that everything was running fine as I got the message that it was sucessfully writing "xxxxx" blocks. But then I got no response each time I inserted the SD card. I went further trying to use the psdwrite (my BIG mistake), I lost the whole harddisk in my laptop (yes, with all those important data). I can't think of anything right now... first lost the xda then now all those data in my hard disk.
It's been an expensive and really painful experience for me.
Nevertheless, I appreciate what this forum does for us. Esepcially, many nice people willing to share n sometimes help alot.
I was wondering if I could contact you and perhaps could ask you to write the wallaby patch/ 5.15 to my SD? I noticed you stay in Bangkok, perhaps I could give you a ring or you can email me at andhy@loxinfo.co.th. cheers...

[wayandrs]

I'm thinking that it won't make much of a difference, but I too have experienced the most latest greatest version turning to shizit after a week.

It seems as though I had the same problem with 4.0.16 but not positive since I had a few 3rd party apps installed.

Anywho... upgrade to new software, thing runs great for a while and then gets funky. What I found is that for a while it seems to run normal, till at some point it starts leaking memory. Now when I soft reset and watch the memory usage after running some apps and closing them, I never get anywhere near the original memory allocation again. This doesn't seem to happen for the first week or so, but after that memory starts filling up.

And no, it's not temp internet files, or new 3rd party apps, or the OS changing the memory allocation, or anything else. Identical usage of applications causes this thing to start happening after a week or two.

Sounds weird but since I don't run anything 3rd party, I can't figure out what else could be going on.

Miiiiicroooosooooft!!! It's just good stuff.

Yes, I noticed this too...... Along with the Notification Events filling up. (Yes I use Check Notifications and the auto-boot-fix for notifications too). Every day, new notifications show up as
Application....................................... ...........................Notify Type.....Event Status........Event Type............Arguments
\\/Notifications\NamedEvents\SCRIPT:0x000nnnn0.....CN T_TIME.......InActive..................NONE....... .....Cannot Process
Where "n" is some number or letter.

Currently I have been unseccessful in finding what Application(s) is(are) making this event entry in order to figure out how to remove it. If I go in manually and remove it out of the database, it immediatly goes back in...

I am certain this is some part of the memory leak as well as the slow down that eventually befalls the unit after about a week and other odd problems that some people report after about a week.

I'm currently at 57 Total Events. Once I reach 80 or more I start seeing odd problems that I have to hard reset to rid myself of them. I started with about 25 or 26.... I have added no new programs, nor removed any, nor changed any sittings.

The latest version of SPb Pocket Plus has a built-in fix for Duplicate Events bug (can be executed at startup). It seems to work better than others I've tried. In the last few weeks of heavy use, the number of problems has not gone up noticeably. Thery're all there, just not getting worse :-)

One thing driving me nuts is the "Deus ex Machina" bug, where XDA turns on by itself, with no apparent reason. It's not related to third-party software, since it still happens after hard reset. It's also not related to GPRS, since it happens with or without the SIM card in.

Go figure...

What programs are running in the background if you have something to look at all the processes running.

I'd like to duplicate this problem if I can so I can try to figure out what is causing it. I found my notification problems are related to my setting the alarms to wake up or that it is a specific time...

Andhy: GOOD LUCK INDEED! ... what ever it's worth. I managed to get my XDA working only after my provider chaged the Radio ROM.

They have not been very helpful, OTOH it's my own fault that I can not speak Chinese, although I doubt that I would have been very patient with them if I had understood them :lol:

After my XDA came back, I re-flashed it to a clean 4.00.11 ENG and 3.25 Qtek radio, that was so far the best combination for me here. My provider is China Mobile and everything is just fine with that combination, SMS, GPRS and all. Of course the XDA is not the strongest phone around :wink: but it's a lot of fun to have it, it also keeps impressing the laymen and layladies :D OTOH I prefer my Sony-Ericsson Z608 for serious phoning, got it just a week ago after I've lost my NOKIA on the black Friday, December 12th ... oh, I forgot to mention that besides screwing my XDA, writing to my MBR (PSDwrite!)

This is the first time I heard that there is a limit to re-flah the GSM ROM. Can anyone confirm this ..please?

I agree about the xda being impressive and I also like my Sony Ericsson T610 better for serious phoning...
I just managed to get a nother working xda to back up / copy the GSM ROM to my SD card. However, the patched Wallaby 5.17 did not show a GSM to SD "menu". Therefore, it was not possible to back up any GSM ROM thru 5.17. I believe almost all XDA distributed in Thailand are coming with 5.17 Wallaby :cry:
Funny thing, I just a new thread saying that it is not possible to flash write a radio/ GSM ROM. If this is true , it confirms your comment.

I wished XDA developer guys could comment on this ...

I HAVE ABOUT 14 FILES OF THEM....AND TOTALLING THE TAKE UP ABOUT

[valheru]

Those are in ROM I believe and therefore cannot be deleted. They dont take up your RAM so no biggie.

[JUICEe]

IF THEY ARE IN ROM...I DONT UNDERSTAND WUT ELSE COULD BE TAKIN UP AROUND 3 MEGS OF MEMORY, WHEN I DIDNOT INSTALL ANYTHING OR ANYTHING, I JUST HAVE LESS MEM, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE EXACT AMOUNT I EM MISSING IS THE SAME AMOUNT OF THEM FILES COMBINED :cry:

[Startup]

You are correct, they are not in ROM. I believe these are the Outlook messages. They contain the messages and the attachements to the meessages in out outbound (not too sure about the attachments). I believe the number of files is related to the number of folders you have but I can't swear to that either. If you use email, you definitely need those files.

[valheru]

Strange then. When I had a fresh install those files were there.

[Startup]

As are the speed dial table and message log (which are all writeable entities). I think the boot process must check for non-existance of RAM versions and copies a virgin copy out there if one doesn't exist.

Several of those files deal with the SMS system of your XDA as well as some of the phone functions and calls to the system. Without them, the XDA would not be able to transmit and recieve anything. I'm quite confident that they are not what is waking up the XDA.

I have them and mine still isn't waking up.... Strange. I'm trying to determine what is so I can duplicate it and suggest a fix.

Without the T-Mobile crap ?

BTW, is this the most cuncurent Windows Mobile 2003 version ?

[valheru]

Tmobile stuff cannot be seperated and it is the most current ROM available to us.

[ntwebguy]

I was wondering those of you who have been messing with the backlight issue, could you give us an update. Did removing the t-mobile files fix the backlight problem? I have downgraded from 4.01 but would like to go back if you have figured it out.

Also, what is the current 'TMobile Line' regarding a release of a WM 2003 version?

I haven't heard anything in a while... Anyone have any news about a true release version from TMobile?

Tmob said a couple of weeks and ATT said end of next month maybe.

Tmob said a couple of weeks and ATT said end of next month maybe.

looking at your signature i see u are with the ATT network have a question for u.

i cooked mine 4.00.05 at yorch and am having probs that it does not pick up a network easily when i look in the pref networks i see tons of other providers which dont make ne sense for me to have... butt he ptrob is when i softreset they come back even i had removed them... also the strength is low... presume because of the A version that i got from yorch. and when i try switch bands to go to 1900 wont let me (keeps showing an error message)

any suggestions to some other version i can get to workon the ATT network here.

was wondering if i get the 4.01.00 from tmobile if it will be any better for me

[valheru]

The extra settings make no difference. As long as the right carrier is available you are okay. Why would you want to switch bands? Going to another ROM may or may not make a difference. However, people have noticed that even though it APPEARS to be a lower signal, reception was actually better.

the reason why i am thinking on switching bands is because it takes a while for my sx56 to find network while on the orignal 3.17 it used to work ok, used to get a network almost immediatly. not sure if the pw10a1 issue from the cooked rom makes some diff here.

and also sometimes the dummy likes to hang on to TMOBILE for kicks and then when i select ATT in pref network picks up back with ATT

where did u get the 4.0.11 rom (if i may ask) and are u happy with it on the ATT network.

I cooked it on Jeff's kitchen a while back. Best ROM so far. Stable.

Is it 4.00.16 ENG ppc2003 2003-07-10,
without any provider crap, so no t-mobile logo's/o2 auto configs/etc

I have tested this versions on my O2 XDA (32 MB version),
4.01.00 ENG t-mobile 2003-10-27 < i'm now using
4.00.05 ENG ppc2003 2003-06-05 < used a day, stable but i'm a upgradeholic :P
3.17.03 ENG o2euro 2003-05-15 < standard

[valheru]

yes. 4.00.11 is the same as 4.00.16 but w/o all the Tmob bloatware.

ok where is it then... so i can get to it?

:) would love to stay away from the tmobile bloatware if possible

[Weezer-DC]

yes. 4.00.11 is the same as 4.00.16 but w/o all the Tmob bloatware.
4.00.16 ENG is also with t-mobile crap
4.01.00 ENG t-mobile 2003-10-27

You sure about that, I wonder why it is not mention on this site
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/versions.html


So you saying, the last version without bloatware crap is 4.00.11 ENG ?
And, the one million question, do have a location where i can find it ?

btw, if you wanted you can upload it to my ftp server,
located at ftp.weezer-dc.net @ port 1234 (important)
login with username "look"
and password "upload"
Than just drop the files in the folder "upload"

[valheru]

Positive. Not sure where he gets his data from but 4.00.11 is real and is the latest non-bloatware ROM available. I have all of the ROMS from 3.17 on. Keep in mind that just because 4.01.00 is Tmob, you can disable these programs from running and therefore not take up RAM, just ROM. I don't believe 4.00.11 is available for download anymore since Jeff Summers site went belly up. If you are not cooking a ROM, I would go with 4.01.00.

4.01.00 ENG is what i'm running now.
Can you upload 4.00.11 ENG for me to the address 2 posts above ?

[valheru]

I'd love to but I have a problem with just sending ROMs to people. Never know who you are really sending them to if you know what I mean. I was going to pay to host a kitchen outside of the US via a friend of mine but no one could/would help me with the code. I have all the kitchen files but I cannot get the kitchen to function on my own.

More than 100 gigs of warez on my ftp server,

It is unix code (read something lol) right ?
If it was win32 ompatible i can host it.

[valheru]

I sent you a pm. It is unix code which why I can't get it going. I'm not trying to be d*ck but I'm sure you understand.

off course

Look in the new folder pocketpc
also, you need to login with,
poketpc as username and XDA as password.
This forum software makes it XDA, but it have to be all lowercase, x d a
but i didnt receive any files yet

[gazzaman2k]

are you sure your sharing it? i havent been able to access your ftp using the pocketpc and look account :\ i was in there last night and tried to download it only got to 18mb then said it was done but the file was too small :roll:

isnt anyone gonna share this or what? thats what the forums for? all im after is the NK.nbf file zipped up or somthing

gaz

[valheru]

<passes out tissues to everyone>

Just be glad he is even running an FTP. Be patient and check back occasionally. C'mon.

[gazzaman2k]

nope still aint working :\ just says downloading folders then stays like that for ages then no access :\

so seems like its been taken down as i was in last night as ive said and it loaded up more or less instantly

[Weezer-DC]

My ftp works perfect and already 5 roms online.
There is always someone on my warez ftp server,
so it is your internet connection/settings.
Please be sure you login with pocketpc and use as password xda (lowercase, this forum convert it to uppercase but it has to be lowercase)
The host or ip is ftp.weezer-dc.net or try 82.161.56.6
And use port 1234, if you use port 21 you entering my ftp server for hosting clients, and there you not gonna find warez :P

Hope you will be able to download the rom(s)


EDIT : my ftp is 24/7 online

[gazzaman2k]

oh yourve changed your password then last nite it was xda in lowercase :p

that may b why

I've just downloaded the AT&T A 30.07 ENG ROM, I assume this is for the SX56. Will this ROM work on the TMobile XDA?

Please use this tread for that rom version,

And yes, it will work :)
And it is the T-Mobile MDA or the O2 XDA :P
