O2 Orbit issues with B&B v4.0 editor version

[fubofo]

Hi, Ive just upgraded my Orbit from B&B 3.7 to B&B 4. Everything went well, ROM was running like a dream. After a while of tinkering and using it I noticed a few random issues:

1 - Power button: suddenly stops turning screen back on. Screen turns off OK, but will not turn on again. Soft-reset is needed to startup again.

2- Sound disappearing: sound randomly disappeared for no reason. Have removed HTCHome from today (due to known issue) and it wasnt that. I have nothing on today screen, no running programs, nothing loading at startup. All of a sudden after about 5 resets it came back on.

3 - Blue Rollr-ball and scroll wheel: did work when first flashed device, but now no longer respond, in any menu or window the blue light does not even come on (although does come on when first booted and when screen turned off).

4 - Battery life depleted? - seems to drain battery quicker than normal (although this may be due to me having to leave backlight on constantly as explained in point 1)

5 - Wifi : seems to only stay connected for approx 2minutes. Although it will stay connected if constantly being used (ie. if I browse page after page will work, but if I stop to read a page for minute or two I need to disconnect and re-connect)


Thats all I have noticed so far but will post any new issues.

This post is not to put Orbit user's off using B&B 4 or to disrespect Tom or his efforts at all. This is just my findings so far and hope Tom could read and add any thoughts, I do love B&B 4 its a wicked ROM and fully appreciate the work Tom has put inot building it many thanks, keep up the good work man.

One more thing I forgot to add:

6 - Red End call button: does not work at all, never has on B&B. I have to tap "end call" on screen. not a big issue, but I sometimes press the button and set the device down forgetting to hang up calls

LOL all on front page huh ? I just been reading from last post I last read :p

Ok the HTC fix is the only thing I can find there, not sure if it has fixed the sound thing yet I will let you know. The Red end call button works also, dont know why that wasnt working earlier. But the other issues remain:

Power button still wont turn screen back on after switched off or locked device using device lock.

Blue Rollr-ball and sroll wheel not working at all

Wifi not lasting very long ( although I think I read posts elsewhere about tht so not too worried )

Any thoughts on the hardware buttons anyone ?

Nope, sound gone again. Installed the HTChome fix (both weather and tab, then tab and weather) still no joy. It was working for a period, now its gone off again. Any time any sort of sound tries to come from the speaker I just recieve a high-pitched "ding" then no more sound until reset.

Sad your having such a rough time but to make sure its not your device, have you reflashed an original ROM and checked your handset to make sure these problems have gone away. Also, how about reflashing the BB v4.0 ROM again and see if it improves, others prior have posted success after a reflash.

I'm happy these BB ROMs have worked flawlessly from first flash (except with known bugs).

Good luck to you on your journey.

Ok got the sound thing sorted myself. Turns out the sound will only work if I boot my Orbit up while plugged into my PC with Activesync running. Its not a USB thing, Ive tried with just my charger plugged in but no sound there. I also tried loading Activesync on my Orbit before touching anything else, still no sound.

The only way I can have working sound on my Orbit is if I boot up while plugged into my PC with Activesync running ?? :confused:

LOL thanks chum. Im the kind that likes to sit and figure out whats going wrong. Im trying to figure it out n leave posts here incase others have issues and maybe find a fix. Also I just cant be bothered to reflash as it takes too long to reinstall all my apps :D
