I've read many forums on the internet, but didn't find a solution in this case:
My 614c cannot sync with PC activesync on any computer in any way. When I put the cable, all PC with different Windows with/without firewall etc. says "USB device is not recognized" (I have other PDA wich syncs with no problems). Led is orange, PDA is charging, phone works as usual. At least I've synced with bluetooth, but it doesn't help when I need to upgrade firmware. So the question: is it the iPAQ hardware problem and the only way is to get to service (warranty has expired)?
Next issue:
I've managed to upgrade to latest original OS via SD card, but I didn't found solution, how to upgrade Radio without activesync (now I have 0.77 version). Does anybody know?
Last issue:
Battery drains too fast. Overnight just in stand-by (with GSM, not 3G) it goes down 20%. In normal use, the phone will last a day. Is there any solution how to check if it's the battery problem or the phone? As activesync doesn't work, could it be some electrical shortcut that drains battery just for nothing?
Thanks for your opinions and answers.

Hi,
Guess you need to check how your device's settings for USB are. (see System | USB-to-PC and check or uncheck the option) ...
For the batterydrain, if you have indeed the latest OS installed, you can easily check what app is still running when you disconnect the phone in the HTC Taskmanager.
The radio is now fw 0.89 and some guys managed to update it through SD. Read about it in this thread.

Hello,
Did you tried to uninstall the device's drivers (from the PC)? Did you tried a hard reset?
USB-to-PC tried in all variations - USB Device is not recogized.
From all PC's software was installed-uninstalled. I did PDA hard-reset few times, even upgraded to Manilla 6.1 ROM, but still impossible to sync.
I use FdcSoft Task Manager, so I know how to shut down apps, but there are many other processes that I don't know what each means and does it have connections with battery drain.
I copied to SD card few files from extracted Radio, and waited for a long time in Modem bootloader, but it really doesn't work.
Strange. Go to device manager while you are "connected" with the cable and and try to uninstall the device and delete the driver.
Known issue
Hi,
My 614C had exactly the same issue (battery empty within a day, and no USB connection possible). Fortunately this happened within the guarantee period, and I got a new one from HP.
I read somewhere that another user had the same issue after using a car charger, which I used as well. Maybe that creates the initial problem, if the charger doesn't output 5V but more.
Did you flashed your (radio) firmware ?
Good luck repairing your HP,
charlieMOGUL
one more thing about battery
take battery out then pull out the minisd and insurt it back
now check battery life
sometime minisd is not plased well then you get such...
good luck
btw - if you can try working one day with on nimisd card to check...
charlieMOGUL, somehow I think your version is right, it's not the PC or miniSD, or old radio firmware problem. I bought this phone from ebay so who knows who was it's previous user. Maybe he even didn't activesync, because he didn't need it.
The interesting part is how much would it cost to repair this HP and could it be possible to do it by non-HP experienced technician, we have friends, you know..
And I still haven't found radio firmware flash solution via SD card.
I used to have battery draining fast problem as well. That's because one of the Spb applications that came bundled with the device was causing the processor to run continually even during sleep.
Try installing this freeware application to check if the device really sleeps when suspended:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/B-Uptime-12141.shtml
With Spb program caused this issue?
yes it's hard to believe but it's true. I think it was SPB pocket plus or mobile shell but both the older version. After I installed the latest version it really sleeps.
I know exactly its spb because one by one, for each of the services i stopped it, then restarted. I did this for every services that's running. I restarted or soft reset the device literally a dozen times. Then I found out the device really got suspended when the spb application was stopped running. I removed the application at once then everything went fine. I updated the program, reinstalled the application and all is a OK...
I was at my wits end for days trying to figure out why..
Of course for others it may not be spb but some other software that isn't compatible with the other softwares that's concurrently running.
Thanks for the info.
Hi,
You can try to do it yourself - I heard that it has something to do with the USB connector. Buy the parts on repair hp pda dot com (or a similar site) and, well, good luck!
I had quite some good experiences with the HP support, you can ask them for a quote.

I just want to warn everyone the 2003 rom has many problem, since it is an internal development version. Here is the bugs I found right now.
1.Maybe it's not a "BUG". It miss the Wireless Modem which many people asked for a long time.
2.I tried Windows Media Player and Pocket Music 1.5, both can't turn off the display, which means you have to leave the display on when you listen the music. If any one can turn off the display , please tell us, may be I got some software conflicted.
3. 2 "Power" Logo on the setting menu, but the have different content. It looks like one is the new power setting tab, but it didn't provided some old fuction in the old power setting tab, so O2 kept the old one.
4. The SIM Contacts (Sim utility provided by PPC 2003) is horrible.It has NO fuction except copy the SIM card address to the phone.
5. YOU MUST NOT install Batterypack 2003 on the phone. It looks like working after you install, but your machine will never boot up after a soft-reset except hardreset the phone. (It is PPC 2003 / Battery Pack 2003 problem, not O2 / HTC's fault).
6. You will never know if the current signal support GPRS or not. It will not display the G logo in the "signal bubble".
Please add the list if you got any problem with the new rom.
If the bug I listed can't stop you install the new rom, go ahead :twisted: .
Moreover, it's not an official / final version rom, if you want stable rom, stay with XDA SE 1.1 rom.
Sorry for my horrible english~

No, it was added in the new ROMs by Qtek and O2. Whether it's a Microsoft or HTC tool I don't know, but it's definitely not ours...
XDA developer Peter Poelman,
didn't know that. i thought it was urs.
PPC 2003
Hi all
Only autentization to VPN over cetificates is good feature for me.
Another features :?
XDA-dev ROM 1.1 is best solution
It seems the "screen toggle" bug (can't switch off the screen probelm) can be fixed by install the PocketMusic 2.0 Bundle plus the 2.0_4_3 fix.
I can see a hotkey to turrn off display with 2.0 version.
Moreover, the "auto turn off display" fuction still works on the PocketMusic 1.5 Bundle version, and 2.0 too.
It's so strange the PocketMusic 2.0 works but WMP 9.0 doesn't work.
I'm happy with the PPC2003 now. If we have to wait to long beforce the official release, will XDA-Developer release an extra SE version based on the current version of PPC2003?
It still suffers fron some sms issues, i cant get a delivery receipt, and also the time sent stamp is actually the time received.
The auto config does not work, so as a result i can't get gprs working...
(Anyone know the settings for o2 uk ?)
All in all though a good upgrade !!
i loaded the 2003 rom and only have minor issues.
1. when connecting the network says voicestream instead of t-mobile.
2. connection seems slower even with the accelerator proxy turned on. the connection used to be as high as 40k according to spb gprs monitor. now i haven't seen it break 20k.
Unit no longer powers-on when placed in sync cradle; In order to sync the unit I now have to either (a) make sure unit is turned-on before placing it into cradle, or (b) place powered-off unit in cradle, then turn power on.
Not a major issue, but certainly a back-step in functionality. Anyone else notice this?
I'm using a TMobile XDA with updated ATT radio stack and PPC2003.
To Dondi :
I have your issue too, but I didn't think it is a problem for me, since I hate the machine suddenly power on itself when I am charging it.
i guess it s even better for the screen not to be lighted all the time when plugged on the cradle
Hey all. I just installed WM2003 PE. It looks and feels great. I only have the following comments:
I have installed the ROM on my Qtek 1010.
1. I can't seem to see any MIDI ringtone support on this one (probably because it's not a final release)
2. I'm still running on my old Radio Version 3.23 and my GPRS resumes connection seamlessly after calls - which is great.
3. I've read somewhere that applications will be visible on the 'taskbar' when running, but do not get this functionality also. No worries on this though, because 'Switch' works fine with WM2003.
4. Still no ability to add custom Operator Logos.
5. Hooray for the 'Busy' tone and indication!
SPB GPRS Monitor works fine with 2003. I also wanted to know from the rest of you guys: Do you have to manually initiate GPRS connectivity after a soft-reset? Or does it pick up your default connection and auto-connect?
To killercheung and Cyberb0b: You've given me a new perspective on the XDA not automatically switching on when placed in the cradle in the off state -- I appreciate the benefits you pointed out.
Also, I did notice that when I initially loaded the Ozone beta (prior to upgrading radio stack) the GPRS symbol was being displayed regularlyand I had no problem connecting with GPRS and getting decent performance (> 20 Kbps). However, after I convinced myself to "go all the way" and also perform the Radio Stack update, I now rarely see the GPRS symbol, and GPRS perfirmance has dropped to the 1Kbps level.
Now I wonder if Ozone also updated the radio (which I perhaps subsequently "downgraded" by loading the ATT RSU). Can anyone shed some light on this?
for what i ve seen Ozone does not modifiy the radio stack, you have to upgrade it yourself useing for exemple the O2 upgrade version 4.21.
As far as i m concern using GPRS in France with Orange as operator with SE 1.1 or with ozone i have the same brandwith capacity depending on the network trafic and my position, between 10 and 30 Kbps, i use SPB GPRS manager to monitor my connexion 24/7 and see what is my data consumption day by day (it also allow me to shut GPRS off without switching the phone off).
by now using ppc2003 for about a week, i have no gprs shut down, except going out of coverage area, we poor french are not full gprs anywhere, but it works pretty good in cities.
on thing i ve notices that i guess is significant :
however it is said that Gprs connexion isn t dropped any more when an incoming CSD call start, that is true but the transmissions are stopped.
I mean i can not send or recieve data while talking on the phone line. But this is not due to the software i guess it is due to the number of channels aviable on the device usually it s 4 + 1 or 4 + 2
whereas phones like SE P800 have 6 + 4 channels allowing the to really exchange data while using CSD channel.
But nevertheless it is a good upgrade cause i do not have to kill my irc session while talking on the phone (just have to hang up fast before the irc timesout ) ).
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..

XDA Atom - Issues with new rom
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
Did you try "not for sale" version? I'm downloading...
my issues with the Atom
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.
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!
No Sound coming from left earphone.....
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??
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.
active sync problems...still
I have upgraded to the official ROM realsed by O2 and most of the problems are solved, and i "love" my atom for now.

The server is Buzy
Support code:85010017
is it a problem with my PC or is it the problem with active sync and the atom...
can anyone please help me?

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.
I dunno what I've done, but I've broken it. Seriously. It won't work and I'm almost stuffed
Basically my HTC Hermes / SPV M3100 has developed 'a serious error' and the SatNav software won't boot. It happens from time to time. About a month ago the MS Reader software failed too thus leaving me without access to ebooks on my PDA. So I've been carrying my Psion 5mx with me for that task.
Basically, it needs a hard reset. But, before I can do that I need to backup the device, the contacts, messages and everything and do a controlled and proper reinstall.
Except Activesync won't connect to the PPC.
I've tried Ver 3.8, 4.2 and 4.5. It's a WM5 Device and therefore I understand that 4.5 is too new. I have 4.2 installed but when I plug the PDA in although it charges it does not connect
I have checked and unchecked "advanced usb connect" in the connections screen of Settings with no joy
So, er, I'd like help please I need to get the device operational for work on Monday or I'll be working off maps again. I use them as backup anyway, but even so!!!
Right. Well. I've tried a whole bunch of different cables, including the one that came with the phone. None are working. In desperation I have removed all un necessary software and used SPB Backup in a CAB install to backup all to the memory card then I'm going to do a hard reset and hope it cures it. If not I guess I'll be contacting Orange for an Insurance Swap due to a faulty unit
Which means I'll probably be without my phone for a week
Well. There you go. Obviously some sort of failure on the device. As soon as I did a hard reset and plugged it in, every thing was recognised.
The SPB restore for just my PIM, Contacts, Notes and Tasks went well and was immediately incorporated into Outlook, and suddenly everything is good.
However, I just now have the reinstallation to do today.... Ahh well.
So the moral of this story is, if ActiveSync fails, then it's probably the device that doesn't like you and SPB is worth the £15
I am using SPB Backup since I switched from HP PDA's to others without integrated backup software and I am happy ever since for the backup part.
I can't tell you what went wrong with your Hermes, definitly a software or registry problem but it was for sure not your desktop activesync sw. There must be some sort of incompatible sw running on your device, meaning: the issue might reappear if you reinstall that particular program again!
My advice: reinstall your application step by step! First install 1 program and see how it works for a while, then the next ... and so on! This is a long way to go but you will be able to pinpoint the app which 'broke your activesync'!
Thanks Junner. Whatever I had installed wrong worked fine for ages, then after about 2 months of not connecting I connected and it didn't like me anymore. If I'd worked it out sooner I would have done it yesterday, but hey ho
Thanks for your words
Hi guys,
Inherited a Stealth few weeks back but i realised that the Wireless option (to turn it on and off) doesnt work, nothing happens when i try to turn on my wifi, so i did a hard reset, but after the hard reset, it doesnt even detect or show up my wireless options. Any ideas guys?
What ROM are you using ??? I had a similar problem with my stealth for over 6 months after upgrading ROM....I tried every thing including careful changes in registry ....the problem was only solved after downgrading to the original ROM more than once ....I still get minor problems when WIFI wouldnot load but works after repeated soft reset ....I suggest you try to soft reset few times an see if this solves the problem....best of lucks....
hi man,
Thanks for replying.
I am using WWE_RM061208. Everytime i restart the phone it says, "Unrecognized card in slot" i am assuming this is the wifi card? any ideas? which version rom should i be using? It asks me to enter the device driver/name or something. thanks.
The unknown card is the wifi card....I used to get this notification daily for over 6 months when the wifi was not working .....Try soft-reset few times and if the notification disappears then wifi should work.....Is your ROM Original or cooked???? have you upgraded the ROM at all??
HI man,
Yes i have upgraded the ROM from www.mwg.com but it doesnt really do much, some of the settings still are around. Any suggestion which ROM should i use? What ROM are u using man? I tried soft reseting a few times but it doesnt work, it still comes up.
The ROM from mwg is original and I used it for downgrade from wm6 (YUC)..... is the wifi working when you hard reset the device ????....I used yuc wm6 but because of wifi problem there, I downgraded from mwg and then upgraded again to yuc wm6 from here

Hello All,
Since a fortnight, am observing strange problems within Network (clogs) and Virus Attacks on my Internet Cable based connection. This is a 256 Kbps line.
Problem I can see is:
a) A script or attacked is launched from a remote server/machine. It's domain address is 222360.com. Attacks happened from union.222360.com, s.222360.com and now with v.222360.com.
b) Once the scripts is launched (.js script), it gets hooked within my browser (Firefox 2.0.0.11).
c) Then, my internet activity will be disrupted severely for some time!! (can't open any page). I am using "Adblock Plus" within Firebox to block this script off.
d) Is there is no script, an attacked is launched on the open HTTP ports or on Yahoo Messenger.
e) Ultimately, an attack is made in form or Trojan or Exploit to gain access or to steal information from my system.
I can see the following logs from the NAV 2007 firewall.

When i'm using Yuc's WM6 sometimes the wifi works,sometimes it doesn't..
So i decided to downgrade it..
But now i can't use my wifi anymore..
I've been Downgrade and re-upgrade it like 4 times and that long processes did nothing for me..

I had a similar problem with wifi for over one year . I had to down and upgrade my stealth 3 or 4 times and finally worked alone after repeat soft reset ...another problem is that you may see wifi icon but doesnot work on pressing it...try removing the battery for 6 to 12 hours and restart again...now at this time I did soft reset for my stealth and the wifi didnot load but iam sure it will work after few hours or tomorrow
First of all thank God,because sending this guy(Yuc) to us..you gave a new life for our O2Xda Stealth,like a candle shining in the dark..Trilions thanks to you.
Actually i would like to ask somebody's help about ZiIME.CAB.. i deleted phoneime.dll but still can't delete zisip_Opt.dll.. it said "Cannot delete file ZiSip_Opt:the file may be in read-only memory,on a write-protected disk,or currently in use by another applications"
is there another way to delete this file?
Secondly how to kill "cprog.exe" in Task Manager?
Another silly question is can somebody upgrade O2XdaStealth GPRS Cellular Data Link to 3G or 3.5G..or is there any Booster for Internet connection?
