wm5 needing soft reset

[ridan]

Every time I change the battery on blueangel and start it up I find that the phone is off and that I have to soft reset to get it to work.

I installed wm5 quite a while back and have had this problem since the beginning. Is there a fix for this?

no, but is it so hard for you to perform soft reset ?
and one more question, how often you hange batteries every 5 minutes? (if i am correct i see why you are upset)

ridan: this is known problem: there is delay between RadioROM starting and initialisation of the device. There is only one fix: when device is booting for the first time, wait 5s (from the time you can see on the screen, that there is no information about radiorom version), then immediately make a soft reset, long before the device will finish booting: after this 2nd soft reset readio rom will boot and everything will work fine.
if you don't want to play like this, there is only one option (and there won't be other in the future): go back to WM2003.

xplode: It shouldn't really matter how often I change my battery as everyone who owns a BA knows that battery life is dependent on usage and can range from a couple of hours to a few days.

And it is not 'hard' to insert the stylus into the reset hole, but it is annoying to find that your phone has been off the whole day just because you forgot to wait 5secs and reset.

jakubd: I was going to change to a different rom, but as you say that its present on all wm5 roms I will ditch the idea. I may switch back to wm2k5 but I'm on the fence at the moment as to whether I will.

thanks for the reply jakubd.
