ATOM Issues...

[Sooz]

Does anyone know how to stop the ATOM from changing the view to landscape each time the camera button is selected?... been the same on all roms and the button is assigned to the camera only yet when pushed it flicks the screen sideways, then when exiting it goes back portrait - its annoying and i'd like to stop it...

Also with the *leaked* rom anyone know how to get the clock back up the top instead of the battery indicator which doesnt change no matter how charged the phone is?..

FTR... the 3second delay patch works on *Leaked* rom with MP3's as well as other formats..

Cheers

I've just switched from the XDA2i to the Atom and am starting to wish I didn't. I bought this phone on ebay.com/au and it was only 2 wks old, the chap said he no longer needed it for work....probably got hacked off with it being so buggy.

I'm running the new 20060217b1wwe rom with the radio r060221n_mn1arc_rs00045 as the old rom (one which came pre loaded) constantly froze and needed soft re-setting.

The issues I'm having are as follows:

1. When phone is in standby after a few mins the green led stops flashing and it no longer accepts incoming calls and goes straight to voicemail until I press the power button, it then searches for a network and the green light flashes again.

2. When listening to the radio there is a constant buzz in the background.

3. Sound only comes out of the right headphone ( I've seen in another post that this has happened to others, a suggested 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter was the fix. Surley the headphone which comes with it should work properly!!)

Also are there any updates which sets the phone up with UK settings and not Australian defaults

Why do O2 release phones without fully testing it....it hacks me off.......Anyway if someone could help me out with my above problems before I launch it from the 15th floor of my office building that'll be great

:(

Me too. I've got an Atom few days ago and using same rom and radio as yours. I find 3 problem with it:

1. Green led stops flashing
2. Battery lasted so quick, usually have to re-charge after 10 hours (with only 1 hours talk time, no bluetooth, infrared and wifi.
3. Wi-fi is buggy. After connected, it auto disconnected .

I'll try to re-flash ROM.


Does anyone can help.

I hope you have seen the new ROM (test only) on ftp? Follow the link in the Atom Upgrading section :D

Did you try "not for sale" version? I'm downloading...

Hi all

I have been using the XDA IIi for the last 1 and 1/2 years, and got this present from myboss...an ATOM. I dont have the same problems, but some are similar I guess.

1.After I receive an MMS, the phone stays connected to the Internet, or rather connected to GPRS/EDGE. After successful downloading, it remains connected. Any ideas why? in the IIi it disconnects after downloading, and also if my browser remains inactive for some time.

2.Synchronization is terrible. Most of the time, when i plug in to sync, there will be an error, then i unplug and plug it back, it may sync. this is terrible. Im using active sync 4.1

3. This terrible phone needs awful lot of reseting. Even to check the System info, i needed to reset the bugger.

4. This is very very slow.. and battery power drains so much. Im only using SPB pocket plus 3.1.1 the oly external software running on the Atom.

My Rom version
20060123B1WWE
Radio version
R060221N_MN1ARC_ RS00045

Aprrecite if any one could advise.

cheers

SPB pocket plus is known to conflict with atom performance.

By the way why have you not updated your ROM to any of the non-official ones floating around? First was the Leaked ROM, and just 2 days ago came the Test ROM, which, in my personal opinion, is tops so far.

[sultan]

Thanks victoradjei for the update.

So guess ill have to remove the SPB for now.

Actually i havn't been around the forum, so have not got real updates from here. Will follow it up.

By the way, is the performance better with the new ROMs.

cheers

the not for sale rom is the best so far!!!try it!

Since I posted my issues above i've found that most of my issues were to do with my virgin payg sim. When I inserted my works vodaphone sim I had no connection issues at all. All other quirks seem to have disappeared too....with the exception of the headset problem. I only get sound from the right headset and also I can not use with microphone on the headset either.....I purchased the 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter and bought some new headphones but to no avail.....Does anyone else have this problem if so how was it resolved??

[Tommy2005]

My Atom green led stop flashing after few minute - always ON (offcouse it is network registered). Is it normal ? Like other HTC green led must flashing when registered to network.

Er, did u upgrade from a previous ActiveSync? Remove the ActiveSync installation totally (Even the residual files), and perform a clean install of ActiveSync 4.1.

I find that the old files of ActiveSync sometimes conflict with ATOM synchronization...dunno why.

Hope this helps.
