Ok, so with WM6 still in its "testing" phase and a few bugs that just wont seem to go away, I am being promoted at work and it will require me to use my phone as a tool for the job. ie direct push and all. Should i go back to my carriers WM5 release or Stick with WM6 in hopes that they will fix the rumored direct push issues?
i never got a direct pus problem on wm6... I use my mobile for work and i am using mb edition. I think is quite ok... on Faria`s i got some problems with gprs switching on and off all the time.... strange....
I've never used direct push. how do I go about setting it up. I can put together an exchange box if needed

I have experimented with all the WM6 releases, and have not encountered any issues at all with push mail and my Exchange 2003 Server. Within a couple of seconds of a new e-mail reaching my desktop, it hits my phone.
I also have my POP3 account check for messages at 1 hour intervals. No probs there either.
I was one of the unlucky ones who did have a problem with push email on Farias WM6 ROM. It would sync the first time the phone was switched on, but then some time later would randomly stop working even though the GPRS connection was still up and Activesync said it was 'Connected' - only a manual resync would get it going again.
I tried multiple radio ROMS, 2.19, 2.25, 2.47 and 2.61 (hoping it was a radio ROM problem) but to no avail. Interestingly, I never had this particular problem with the MB WM6 rom - but that ROM had other issues, so in the end (as always) I've dropped back to Farias 3.3 ROM which is rock solid in every area.
Don't get me wrong those of you who take offence easily - Farias ROMS are great and I'm not knocking him any way - it's just "one of those things" that's probably quirky to my setup. If when he produces a new version, I'll test again.

Most odd. Like bradsnw I've never had a direct push problem. This includes the more than 50 individual devices I've setup in the past, the 10 or so that I upgrade on a regular basis and mine. As Faria's tester and Junior Chef in Training my poor lil 8125 has seen just about every ROM variant (and mutant) imaginable, but never a DP problem. (And I've created some near bricking ROM's let me tell you!)
One thing I always do however is to not create my initial AS profile with my PC but on my device directly. (This is the only way I can get my task OTA) and I probably hard reset my device on the shoulder of Interstate 95 or a McDonalds parking lot as many times as I do at home.
I've never had an issue with Direct Push/Exchange 2003 while using WM6 either.

I agree - very odd. I've never had push fail before on the multitude of ROMS I've tried - those sort of problems always happened 'to other people' and not me ;^)
I tried all the usual stuff, resets, new partnerships, reloading the same ROM, new radio ROMS, certificates, etc etc etc. But in the end, I had to get the phone working 'for work', so went back to 3.3. Like I said, when Farias next ROM comes out, I'll try it again.
cheers,
Andrew

There's nothing wrong with your push email.
Connected is good, it means that you have a connection with the server and you're up to date. This is how it shows in WM6
When you see "Synchronized Today" with a time, this means that was the last time your device updated with the server for whatever [email protected] tihs point, if you have signal....do a manual sync.
Again...CONNECTED...is good ......... SYNCHRONIZED TODAY...is ok
If your device doesnt synchronize folders at all ....you need to adjust your network connections and get the web to work 1st and then push email.
This isn't faria specific, that's how WM6 works.

You need an exchange account.
I use www.4smartphone.com. It's a paid service that's cheap and I let them deal with the headaches of maintaining a server. The service has been 100% so far, not to try to sell you.
If you have the means and time to set up a box, let me know and I'll help as much as I can.
No problem at all with DP mail. I just give it to the people at IT and they set it up nicely for me. And I have taken it in daily because I keep changing roms!
But I am stopping at Faria's for now

dwny, I appreciate your reply, but I beg to differ. I've been using push mail for a long time now, and I know when it's working or not - I'm not going to bore everybody with pointless detail, but:
I had a working internet connection via GPRS - I could surf using Pocket IE.
It would "automatically" sync my folders via GPRS when I turned the phone on. It would then stop working later.
Manually syncing is not push email? I had set the schedule settings to 'as items arrive' - why would I sync manually?
And as I said previously, I did not get the problem with the MB WM6 rom, nor the PDAviet 3 or 4 and I do not get the problem with Farias 3.3. Mail arrives automatically via GPRS (usually a a few seconds before it hits my desktop outlook) just fine in every ROM I've tried except Faria's latest. But I'll repeat - I'm not in any way 'blaming' Faria. It's just one of those things.

Again...this is how it works in WM6
When your device says "Connected" ... you are up to date.
While there..press Menu > Status and it will tell you when your device last synchronized.
WM5 shows "last synchronized" when up to date
WM6 shows "last synchronized" when not up to date.
What I experienced:
When I get "last synchronized" ... I also don't have internet and everything was working. I go to connections and change the name of the connection and all is well. Try this & see if it works for you.....
dwny, you ARE persistant!
"Again...this is how it works in WM6"
But it *wasn't* working!
I could tell it was not sychronizing because I would get 25 emails arriving in my Outlook inbox over period of an hour, and none of them arrived on my PDA! If I simply manually synced, they would all coming flooding in.
But let's not dwell on this anymore - I'm back on 3.3 now. If I find some time, I'll do a fresh download of the ROM and try again.
thanks for you time,
Andrew

First, you get too damn much email. 25/hour? What are you, the president?
Seriously though, something has to be running to be able to get those push notifications. With all the tweaking people do I'm not surprised that things end up breaking. My suggestions are these:
1) Turn off X Button or whatever you are currently using to close rather than hide applications. WM5 and 6 were never designed for the apps to be closed every time. Many have background features that they depend on -- like poutlook. Why do you think it's in your \windows\startup folder.
2) It is *still* in your \windows\startup folder right?
Those are your hints -- all I know is that push worked fine for me as long as I left something there to push to.

President? - lol... I wish...
I get automated warnings and messages from databases and servers. And when things aren't running well, I get LOTS of emails.
Yep, poutlook was in my startup....
Anyway, after seeing all these success stories, I downloaded the ROM again (didn't trust the last download) and reflashed. Followed exactly the same procedure as normal (I flash ROMS regularly, so literally have my set routine) and guess what?
Works fine - 'straight out of the box'. I did nothing different to every other flash I've ever done....
Andrew
P.S. I now have an 'officially recognised' issue with the 2.61 radio ROM. But at least I'm back in the fold...
i am running the mun rom on tmobile usa and have no problems with exhange mail...push is working 100%
FYI - i am using the 2.61.11 radio rom

Glad to see a fresh install worked for you.
Be careful with radio 2.61.11, it's known to cause dialpad issues and missed calls with the newer roms.
hi...i create this thread for everybody who had problems or bugs with the WM6 ROM either PDAMobiz or Smart1 ROM...
coz i find it difficult to search all of threads here...
If this thread doesnt get deleted here's my two cents: smart1 v2 ROM (G4 Prophet):
1. no java
2. Infrared doesnt work properly
3. phone freezes quite often
4. Charging issues: sometimes decides not to charge either on wall charger or PC USB cable...no set pattern there
1: Button 1 & 2 are not customizable ( to me , this is very very very very very very important, I change back to WM5 because of this)
2: when WIFI is ON and connected to a network, click the connection icon on the top of the screen, it will have a link for you to " TURN ON WIFI", shouldnt it be " TURN OFF WIFI" ?
3: cannot connect to internet once a while via WIFI, USB (activesync) , or GPRS , need soft reset to fix it. This issue sometimes happen to me on WM5 too, but seems more often on WM6.
4: I hard reset a few times to test different setting/ software etc, but 1 time, the WINDOWS live doesnt let me sign in at all, I have internet working (can get on google etc). But Windows live just keep telling me to check internet connection. -> hard reset.
For mndgz comment 2. Infrared doesnt work properly <<< I thought the Regedit, seems working for me. Maybe you just need another hardreset.
dmc3 is right, the pdamobiz WM6 post becomes too big... very hard to find answer....
well..thx..
but i think that v2 had fixed most of bugs in v1 that i'm using right now?
i haven't flash it to v2 but i think that mine is fine already.
only some bugs such as corrupted device lock,and contacts disappeared,and this ROM easily dead..
i'm looking forward on V3 ROM.hope that they've fixed all of bugs that now users have been complaining...
well..sometimes i think that maybe smart1 would creat new Open Source ROM just like Linux or else but compatible to WM applications
i have a strange error with the pdamobiz rom, i can't unlock my phone after a couple off soft resets it says i have wrong unlock code so i had to hard reset (had to hard reset 2times because off that, and i'm reinstalling phone now for 3th time but i'm not gonna choose a lock code).
it happens after i have installed almost all my software so that can also be the problem.
whan i go to lock in the settings menu, then i have to give in my code and that works but it doesn't work if i soft reset device
maybe the problem is my code itself and i choose 7519 ass code
Well.u must be using the same as mine,v1.
v2 doesn't have this problem(so far that i search all posts)
that's the bug..don't put any password until u've flash it to upcoming WM6 v3 ROM..maybe they've fixed this bug

strange,even Microsoft already said that starting from WM5.ROM will be used to save data..so,it must be NON-VOLATILE...
really,i'm surprised that WM6 ROM is back to "StoneAge" if it is about saving data...
Smart1 should fixed this problem on v3

I created some subfolders in my pushmail account (Mail2Web.com) in the Messaging tool, like "PPC Things" or "Private" but when I softreset my device (XDA Neo, G4) the mails in this subfolders where be deleted!!!
But when I look into my mail account via Firefox at PC I see them all in the right subfolders! :-?
Is it a bug or feature?
How to resolve this issue?
TimeZone
What about fixing the timezone prob ?
timezone is not a big problem.right now,if smart1 doesn't fix this "Volatile"-problem,this ROM is just a waste...

Did this issue of button mapping ever get fixed in Smart v2? I don't believe this was ever corrected in ANY of the aku 3 WM5 ROMS either.
whats button mapping? i don't get it?
Well, let me explain. This is the single biggest issue I have with all the WM5 aku 3 and WM6 ROMs so far, and I doubt it will ever get fixed for any new ROMs. This is also what keeps from updating my prophet to anything higher than aku 2.2.
Buttons 1 and 2 correspond to the lower left Windows key and the OK key on the lower right. When you go into the control panel, you see 'buttons'. Here, you can assign a different function to these 2 buttons in addition to buttons 3 and 4 (camera and conn manager by default). In all these latest ROMs, you can ONLY change buttons 3 and 4. Changing the function of buttons 1 and 2 will not work for some reason.
Using Wisbar Advance 2, I use buttons 1 and 2 for the Cascading Start Menu and Close, respectively. However, this won't work for aku 3 ROMs and WM6 ROMs......at least not yet! aaarrrrggghhhh!
not a problem....i often use both of them..
Huh? What do you mean you use both of them?
Of course you can use them, but for no other purpose than the default start menu and the minimize functions.
If you're saying they CAN be changed, try changing one to the calculator and see if it works....
Bugs
I recently installed the Smart1's WM6 ROM v2 - overall very nice, much faster than my original WM5 ROM.
Few problems:-
1) Password - Seems to forget password, constantly says incorrect password entered. Only solution - hard reset.
2) MMS - Can send but not receive - sometimes cannot send either. Keypad lights up as if it is going to receive but no notification appears.
3) WiFi - Sometimes forgets WPA-PSK and actual network for that matter.
4) Sometimes when shutting down, the screen gets corrupted.
Also had a lot ofproblems getting it to work in the first place. I do understand that it isn't an official ROM, just thought it fair to make a point of this, hopefully complete noobs will avoid it as I suspect many will end up with nice rounded black bricks
Im Using PDA Mobiz 1.00 v1, All seems fine, Cant change Buttons 1 & 2 but no need for me.
I thought we were going to have HTML Emails in WM6? MS Demo shows it - doesnt seem to work for my Push emails?
Also my Radio version is 2.20.21, should i update this to teh 2.6 something or if it works dont mess with it?

hilo,
Just created a new thread for this as its issues are pilling up the other one. i think that thread should be clean and should have only and only contain info about progress on the wm6 rom...
Mods if unnecessary please delete...

I would not call it a bug but one of the disadvantages of the ROM is that, similar to these ones which come to Qtek and i-mate, it does not recognise the network settings out of the box but you have to fiddle with them manually. When I use Orange ROMs (and it does not matter if the ROM comes from the UK or Switzerland) everything works with flying colours, despite I do not use any Orange network. Just I have to install Opera Mobile (I hate pocket IE) and voila! Everything works!
Channels don't work.
in india AFAIK channels just provide the cell id i.e the area which i m in... not imp though... no use of channels
ok phil.
if u remove windows update, at least supply it as a cab in the extras folder.
channels don't work.
long pressed side button does not work! it used to start voice note record for the sda and i'd like that to work.
mms.
better camera software. btw htc camera makes the phone SLOW..... not a good one. need an alternate
enable profile switching to silent when long pressing '#' key
default folder for saving pictures on storage card is not my documents\my pictures any more but a lame dcim folder. that would be nice to be changed.
also, sometimes when answering a call, the keyboard stays locked, the call is still on, but the home screen is active and not the call screen.
joystick seems much better but sometimes it doesn't want to work as it should. maybe another driver; if not, this one is good
we need wpa2 for wifi enabled.
also add in the extras folder:
moblue
tcpmp with extra codecs
htc audio manager could be good
if u need the cabs for moblue and htc audio, i have them
there is an newer version of sim manager. v6.10. has a couple of new things (got it if u need it)
and maybe add a good version of opera. not the java one.
we also need a good midlet manager
also a good instant messaging program. maybe a multi client one like oz mobile im, or like im+
mmmhhh after read all this bugs, i better wait a while to update my phone, i find a good idea to write here all the problems with the actually ROM.
Good AD2P drivers
Hi,
Is it possible to have good ad2p drivers with the next rom?
Tomtom 6
I have never been able to run tomtom 6 before the update.
Is it possible now with update? and also which is best version to install?
Kindest regards
I have Push mail configured and GPRS seems to be buggy. once or twice a day GPRS seems to stop working. My Activesync fails with (Can not connect to network or waiting for the network to be available), and in that mode even IE can not connect to any site. I switch off and on the phone function only, GPRS becomes available again.

Actually I would split your post in two separate ones.
1. the instability of WM6 Alpha - obvious thing, and it should be fixed
2. but I also see something else. I see from many posts that one application which sets all the settings with one click is quite urgently needed. I know that something like that exists for Swiss networks http://www.mysmartphone.ch/Freeware/kommunikation/16920.aspx and for the Norwegian ones http://www.smartmobil.no/Article617.phtml but I think that everybody would agree that such an universal solution would be something good. Unfortunately, I do not know anything about programming but I can imagine this kind of program and a separate database. The database would be filled by volunteers - I can, for example, provide all the settings of Polish operators, someone else British, French, etc. It would be good esp. for people who travel a lot.

TomTom 6 is made for Pocket PCs. It requires a touch screen to work, so you won´t be able to control it. I have had it running on my 8310 but it´s just silly to even have it installed. Go for 5.2 if you can find it.
I have problems syncing my contacts if i have more than 305 contacts.
The ActiveSync (or WMDC) hangs saying "attention required". Though, i can make 305+ contacts on the WM6 and sync them back to Outlook! But backwards i get 305 contact limit. Vey, very strange!
With previous ROM everything was ok.
I tried syncing with different PCs, tried unistalling ActiveSync and WMDC - no use. Deleting pim.vol doesn't help too.
ActiveSync on WM6 gives me 0x8503001c error.
Thanks for your help. I got my old one to work. I really like the colours in tomtom 6 tho.
Also on my phone i have a problem(s) with tomtom 5, I cant type in the post code B8 followed by anything like B8 3NU. Also I can't use certain Points Of Interest such as hospitals or cash dispensers. These work fine on my Wizard but I wana be able to do it all with TORNADO!
The software of dual sim selector don't works with that new rom (adapter of 10ª generation).
Well, I don't know if it works; the soft does not appear by any side.
I proved several solutions, but no it has worked to me.
Somebody can help me?
Thanks.
tejasphatak please rename the topic to "WM6 Torando bugs/issues" , so we can generally post bugs/issues regarding all WM6 tornado roms
Bugs:
1. The locklevel change to 1 randomly..
2. Sometimes the phone freeze when unloking kepyad.
It happened two times.
Issues:
1. When playing audio the CPU load is ~ 25-30% (@180 Mhz). It is normal ? (can someone with WM5 test?)
If using EQ and other effects the CPU load increase.
A taskmanager with cpu load info can be found here (it's for PPC but works also ,somehow, on smartphones)
More CPU load = more power = less battery
2. The system lags while writing to storage card (big cards, > 1gb). This issue is present on WM5 Tornado roms too (except iphone rom wich seems to deal better with sd).
Need a beter SD driver .
Same when copying via ActiveSync (has anyone tried usbfn driver from HTC VOX?)
3. when TCPMP is playing audio it keeps the backlight alive
Using andot's PEE V6.

Hello,
I've got a similar problem to this. It used to work fine until last week. I can't remember changing anything in my Hard/software setup but now it just hangs and only some of the contacts sync.
I've searched in the forum but can't seem to find any other reference to this problem. If anyone knows a solution (or any discussion of it) please let me know. Basic device info below:
SPV m3100 (HTC TyTN) running WM6
Windows Vista Home Basic
Windows Mobile Device Center
Thanks.
Hey guys, i've seen a number of different threads which "kind of" talk about this issue. I'm hoping to make this the definitive one. I'm on hour 10 of working to try to get this running..
(My apologies in advance if there is already one out there that i haven't found. i have been really looking and i think i tried it all... im sure thats what everyone says )
Hardware: HTC 8925 a.k.a At&t Tilt a.k.a TyTN II
Software: Duttys Official WM6.1 Release
Radio: 1.64.06.04
Provider: At&t (US)
Problem: BlackBerry Connect's "Identity" Tab reads "PIN: Pending"
I should also mention that i called At&t to confirm (prior to all of this) that i have a BBConnect service plan, it is active, and there is nothing on their end that would indicate a failure of any sorts.
Attempted Fixes (These have ALL failed):
I've tried every combination of having active sync enabled and disabled during bbconnect install.
I hard reseted before every install. Soft reseted after issue still occurred even after bbconnect install rebooted.
All tests were performed with the the HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to .0.4.2 as per Dutty's wiki: (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=DuttySeriesKaiser)
I also tried various combinations such as .0.2.0 and .0.3.6 and .0.3.0
Even tired changing Device ID to HTC_P3450
Tried all of the following BBConnect software downloads:
4.0.0.84:

http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb.4.0.0.92.cab
Tried installing this one both by copying cab file over to local device and through device web browser:
4.0.0.97:
http://www.america.htc.com/mobile/connect/8925/
I'm installing from and installing to the local device memory, not the storage card..
i think i covered it all... oh, i didnt try the one HEX edit solution, because i didnt think its applicable to dutty's rom..
can ANYONE please help?!
---------------UPDATE--------------------
Okok...so problem solved... i thought i read something similar to this solution somewhere.. but..well whatever... frustrations are over (the problem always seems to find a way to fix itself after you post help for it! )
Process:
1. Hard Reset (set up initial settings, connect to provider, its a total of two reboots iirc)
2. Change registry setting (HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to .0.4.2)
3. Soft Reset
4. Change Device ID to any value (Settings->System->About->Device ID)
5. Soft Reset
6. Install BBConnect 4.0.0.97 via device browser from http://www.america.htc.com/mobile/connect/8925/
7. Installation reboots system
8. Disable 3G connection, force to use EDGE via wireless connection manager
9. Device receives PIN, activates, etc..
10. Enable 3G connection
Notes:
1. So i dont know if items 2,3,4, and 5 were really required.. after preliminary testing, everything works fine with the 3g connection turned on after initial registration.
2. I noticed that the BBConnect Today icon kept showing an exclamation mark indicating its outgoing connection was being blocked. Also the status window kept showing that the connection was suspended by the user, when i never did anything.. so i tired disabling the 3G and sure enough.. problem solved..
Hope this saves someone out there the headache i've been going through.. oh well.. back to the girlfriend who i've been ignoring for the last 10 hours... (hopefully im not in that much trouble )
wooooooooooooooooooot, thx for the solution.
Man...thanks a lot for all the help...it worked like a charm...and i am using it here in dubai...uae where the black berry doestn support the kaiser offically
cheers bro
Great work man, great work for users who uses BBConect
3G still working?
Quick question for those who tried the (disabled 3G to Edge) and then re-enabled 3g.
Does your 3g still work? Have your tried to place calls in 3G mode? I am on my third Tilt, the prior two times I lost 3g after installing blackberry connect, and I want to see if anyone else has this problem, before a try a third time.
Note: On my previous two phones all worked well when I downgraded to GPRS (Edge) as described, but I never got back 3g (even after flashing and removing BBConnect)

I added this post to Dutt's WIKI and gave you due credit for your hard work.
Now if only someone can figure out how to force WM to do multiple APNs and BBConnect would be perfect!
Strange... All I had to do with my Tilt was set the AKU to .0.4.2 or .0.4.4 in the registry before installing the BB Connect software.
I've used the .92 & .97 installers from CAB files on my SD card just fine.
If you change the AKU version after the BB software is installed, it won't work right, as it will still drop the connection. You'll have to reinstall the software.

Quick Question
So to those of you who have BB Connect running, is all well with your 3G? Thanks for your help, I want to hear a few success stories before a walk down this path again
so I followed the steps, and got everything installed and turned off. I'm trying to get an unlocked tilt on my blackberry account on t-mobile.
The problem is its installed, but the email options are greyed out. We don't use an exchange server (or if we do it is configured very wrong) as I have pop3 information on my t-mobile blackberry page. It says I register successfully on the network, but I still don't receive emails. What do I need to chnage?
edit: fixed - I had to get back online and say yes that I had a new pin.
THANKS!!

that is the same problem I have left now, almost like hardware related.
does AT&T default one can do multiple APNs? as it is officaly support BBC.
I installed Blackberry Connect and I am using it with a Blackberry Enterprise Server.
But I see in order to have the BB icon, the GPRS is always attached. Should it work like this ? I know/knew that with Blackberry phones it attaches to GPRS only when incoming email is coming, and only with Microsoft Directpush technology it stays attached all the time.
If it works like this ( Always On ), is there a difference between BB Connect for WM, and Outlook with Microsoft Direct Push ?
Yours,
Alex

This link doesn't seem to work, it's actually supposed to be:
http://www.america.htc.com/mobile/connect/8925/index.html
The problem is, when you click "install now" it still can't find the cab. The 4.0.0.97 cab is now mirrored here:
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb_al_4.0.0.97.cab
desktop manager software
Do you have a link for desktop manager?
I have the version 4.x.17 and cannot connect with the bb on the pda.
I don't know which is the latest or most compatible version for desktop mgr having in consideration what you have in the pda. please, give me some light...
Thanks from a Touch DUAL user....
Thanks Elec.Two
Just added this to the Touch Dual Forum (Nike) as it works a dream for us too!

Has anybody an idea how this will work on a Pharos / HTC P3470? I just tried it described in this taks, but without success.
I had 2 dots and an x
I updated to Dutty's ROM today, and had problems with BBC.
So I searched, found this page and did exacty as told. No luck. Tried again. No luck.
So I went to Start/Settings/Connections/Connections and then clicked on 'Manage existing connections' and changed the settings (default on Dutty's ROM). [To do that click 'Edit' and change the 'Access point name' from isp.cingular to wap.cingular. Click next and change the 'User name' from ISP.CINGULARGPRS.COM to WAP.CINGULARGPRS.COM]
This worked for me. This info is for noobs, of which I am one!
I have just updated my TyTN II to WM6.1 and bbconnect (version 4.0.97) stopped working. Basically it had PIN marked as pending and was reporting no connection.
I have executed only step 2 (change hklm) and 3 (soft reset) from elec.two procedure and it resolved my issue - bbconnect works now. I have not reinstalled the bbconnect.

Well, I have to thank you on this! I could not get BB Connect to work for the life of me, and your fix finally go t it working!!!
Thanks!
.... and now for the Diamond - same old problem....
Have tried all the known fixes - I think - anyone had any success with bbconnect on the new diamond? Sigh.....
I was having a few issues with my Touch Pro2 freezing up and not turning on. The reset button did nothing. Then, I discovered my problem and I wrote about it:
http://www.medicalsmartphones.com/2009/09/touchpro2-wont-turn-on-use-right-power.html
You can see that the actual power button icon is also on the red "hang up" button.
Makes more sense for someone coming from a regular phone as most devices actually use the same button to turn on and off the phones.
I'm still not convinced of this... i've been seeing issues with the TP2 on sprint using WM 6.5. It enters one of the following states... and the only way to recover is carry out a reset (remove back cover and press the 'reset' button).
1) Device will not power on, but orange charge light is visible
2) Device will not active sync and becomes locked, and cannot be powered down
3) Device repeatedly shuts down and restarts when connected to a PC via active sync..
Its all with the sprint rom that came with the phone.

Yep, same issue with the "Official VZW 6.5" update for my Verizon TP2...
Updated, when was it out, Thursday? Finally got all my sync issues fixed (Vista/Myphone/6.5 were not playing nicely) and starting reloading my Rhapsody stuff... Working good... Lovin' the 'Sense UI' update (minus the lag - but workable) and then... DUN DUN DUHHHHH!
Sunday morning I woke up to a completely frozen phone. Charge light was stuck on, frozen at the TP2 startup screen.
First try, power button - no response...
Second try, reset button - reboots to stick at the TP2 startup screen again...
Third try, battery pull - back to the startup screen again...
Finally booted to boot mode where 6.1 went right back on that puppy - works like a dream again!
Something weird in 6.5 land!

+1. My phone NEVER did this with 6.1.
Flashed to 6.5 thursday. Started re-installing cabs sort of fast and loose. Had the phone go into the sleep-of-the-dead five or six times over the next 24 hours. Power was on (pressing end/power button gave me the green arrow telling me to wake the phone using the top button. Pressing anything else wouldn't work and only a battery removal or soft reset would do the trick.
Hard reset Friday and started doing .cabs with a little more care (Sense off/install/reset/Sense back on). and I've gone three days without it happening again. Coincidence? Don't know. But I'll be watching these threads (here & XDA) carefully and keeping my fingers crossed.

Where did you get 6.1? Verizon is sending me a new phone, I hope it comes with 6.1. I got my phone on Friday and Flashed offical VZW 6.5 to it, as a matter of fact I think they would have suggested that I upgrade today if it wasn't already at 6.5. They had me check version and said yep that's the latest version, that's the one we need on your phone.
Of course they don't admit there is a problem.
One time when it was "sleeping" and couldn't wake it up I tried calling it.... it vibrated, the lights came on, but no way to answer it just wouldn't "wake up"
Totally unacceptable.

All the stock ROMs can be found here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91940
If you like wm6.5 other than the issues you have had, i suggest trying a custom 6.5 ROM such as MightRom( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=79579)
However before flashing make sure your phone is unlocked. This can be done here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578660
If you live in verizon's 1x network and keep getting an error every five seconds or so, the fix can be found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1472842&postcount=107
Custom ROMs are faster and in many cases much more stable than verizons 6.5 update. I am currently using MightRom with no problems. No freezing or anything.
Opened a thread on this issue over at PPC Geeks:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=106799
Pretty clear this issue is NOT related to carrier, not isolated to any one ROM (yes, even Mighty ROM has experienced this, too), nor is it solely seen with WM 6.5.
I have my opinions and theries... but who knows. No definative solution is apparent as of yet.
Still happening with my VZW TP2 WM 6.5. Never happened with 6.1. My current theory is that it has something to do with Active Sync. I never start it, but it is often found running on my phone and I cannot find where to shut it off. This was not the case w/ 6.1. I don't know enough about the phone internals to say any more than this, or to test the theory.... Still looking and listening for answers, will post here if found.
Why would ActiveSync need to run when the phone is not hooked up to a PC??
Looks like an old thread, but I have a touch pro 2 w/ sprint. Activesync is always running. I have to kill it with the task manager. Haven't nailed down what's triggering it to fire but it takes up valued resources. I'm finding pother apps running when I thought I exited gracefully, like email, messaging. I'm thinking it's a setting somewhere??. I figured out for my case why Active sync kicks off on it's own.
QuickGPS significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS
position. QuickGPS downloads ephemeris data from Web servers, instead of from satellites, using your
device’s Internet connection via Wi-Fi, ActiveSync or GPRS/3G. Now any location related service like the weather update is lijghting up ASync and I have to kill it with the task manager util. To prevent it from happing I'd have to turn off data services.. so fark it. I increased the weather update time and kill the app if I use it.

I think when the phone uses an app that requires location, like weather active sync is getting woken up. In my case I get weather updates every 2 hours. Presto - evertime I kill activesync then update weather acltivesysnc starts up again. So, what I'm saying is for my case if I don't have wifi or evo or a strong signal, and I update weather activesync lights up. That supports what the manual says about QuickGPS.
Activesync is used several things including exchange email. If you set up push email with exchange server then even if you turn off activesync with the task manager it will automatically turn back on.
