i may smash my tytn!

man! this 'cking device is doing my head in! I think it's the worst I had! my list of gripes are:

1) the 3g (umts) connection sucks balls! drops after about 5 minutes! ony way to fix it is a soft reset (see below)

2) if I do a soft reset, any sms or pushed email disappear!

3) after using some website forms, the pull out keyboard is on caps lock constantly meaning I have to soft reset (resulting in lost messages as above).

4) no matter what settings I use (backlight and power) the device is constantly powered on, even after specified time for backlight and power off.

I'm sure there's more but can't think of them at the moment!

anyone else getting the same trouble as me? if so, what did you do to fix it?

Don't know what build etc, but it works!


Sound like you need to look at what you have loaded closer. Do a hard reset and figure out what radio and Rom versions you have loaded. Then someone may be able to help you because your problems are not normal.

"Don't know what build etc but it works"

I beg to differ - it obviously dosen't work.

I would suggest calming down and doing some ligical trouble shooting. These issues are specific to you so it is obviously not the device (don't blame it). You have given no info on your setup so don't expect too much help.

Ditch any cooked rom you might be using and go back to std manufacturers rom. A hard reset fixes most things - then install only necessary apps, one by one and checking that things are still OK. Cooked roms are only for those who are good at/have the time to/inclination to, trouble shoot.

Caps lock is probably related to the way you use the Shift and Function keys. Experiment with double cliking those keys - it can be confusing but there is a logic to it. Experiment and you will work it out.

ok...

rom version: 1.18.255.3
rom date: 22/07/06
radio version: 1.03.03.10
protocol version: 32.34.7010.01h

It's completely standard (didn't have the balls to try upgrading the rom). I've hard resetted a billion times. experimented with no apps installed and still the same kind of things happen.

apps i usually install are:

skype
spb backup
spb insight
tom tom 6
pieplus
lingvosoft japanese dictionary
lingvosoft japanese phrasebook

So not alot installed (and all on sd card, so plenty of room on the device).

Hope this gives some clues!!

Cheers guys

I'm making some assumptions...

1) This could be your area, but might be worth looking at your Radio ROM?

2) Don't use the reset button at the bottom of your device. Hermes uses some caching and if you hit the reset button it doesn't get time to flush. What you need to do is hold the power button on the side for awhile until it asks if you are sure you want to completely turn off your device, which of course you do. Once it's powered off (it takes a little while sometimes while it saves everything) you can press the button if you like then power on again.

3) On the slide out keyboard, hit the round circle button on the very button left of the keyboard, then press the caps button above it.

4) Do you mean the screen is lit up (the backlight) all the time? Or that the backlight goes out but you can still faintly see the today screen? The Hermes is always meant to be on, just like any other phone, or how else would you be able to get a call?
