Hardware Failure? Tried re-flashing and still no good

[castroneves]

Guys,

I sincerely don't know what happened. I have a Dopod C500, which I had perfectly flashed to HTC's latest ROM. Everything was running smoothly, until a few days ago, after I ran out of battery.

Following a recharge, the phone was never the same. First, problems with connecting to my email account. Web-surfing was fine, but somehow the problem affected just email checking. It tried connecting and nothing. And if I tried to stop, it stayed on "disconnecting" forever.

Well, I performed a Clear Storage, but it didn't help. So I reflashed the phone. Twice. And the email problem was temporarily solved, but it reappeared later on.

Text messaging was also a problem. I wasn't receiving them.

And now, there's a problem with my Contacts. They sync alright, but when I click Contacts on the phone, I can't see them. Only if I press the call button. And the phone is extremely slow...

Any suggestions? No jokes please. :( Is there a ROM any of you would recommend?

Thanks guys!

That sounds like what happend to me and I solved the problem by changing the battery for a spare that I had bought, and now I have got a fully functioning phone. So try etting a replacement battery.

Thanks a lot for the quick response Roland! I'll try that!
But should I re-flash when I get a new battery?
Also, as of next Tuesday, I'll also own a TyTN II! :)
But isn't Tuesday do far away from now?
Thanks again, and I'll let you know if it worked.

One more thing: do you choose to charge the phone when connecting to Activesync? Do you feel that it shortens the battery life?

If the ROM you are using now is ok and you are happy with it then you don't need to reflash. If you want to change your ROM then I rcomend DR. Martin Gonzo's WM6.1 v1.0b ROM.

I do charge the phone when connected to WMDC6.1 and don't find that it has an effect on the battery life.
