Recently, I upgraded my Windows Mobile 6.1 to Windows Mobile 6.5 using a customized ROM. I tried to install a Weather plugin, from somewhere too, but failed. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, it updated but show registry problem so I just delete the files from my device and memory card. After a while, I found the screen is not “poke-able” (unable to use finger or stylus to click, or screen is not responding to touch or whatsoever…).  OMG, I think I need send my device to Asus service centre. I thought to reformat (reflash the ROM) but I afraid the setup fail during the stage of tapping the screen for alignment. However, I did reformat and thanks God, i can tap the screen for alignment. So my device no need to go for service. I think the windows registry or driver was corrupted so the screen was not functioning. So those who face similar problem, don’t afraid to take the risk to reflash your ROM.

Update:

I think the touchscreen problem is not coming from the Weather plugin but from S2P, an iTunes like music player. After I reformated the ROM, I can installed the weather plugin. I think I must install this plugin before installing CStar CE or else it will corrupt the registry.

After the upgrade, the phone cannot view missed calls and the Bluetooth doesn’t work!

It seems Windows XP is running smooth with SP2. Would that be any issue after I installed SP3? This might be a million ringgit question LOL. So, as an IT savvy, I will let those white mice test it first and after a month or two, search some forums for people feedback.
