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

..yes strange but works also for wifi and bt setting..........................
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?

yes..i also think that PDA MobiZ Fantastic Xbow is still better than V2
first of all: sorry for my poor english!
unfortunately I keep on losing some SMSs.
I have changed different ROM (from the NBD 4... up to the 8.2 that currently I have in use, XDA6 in all the releases...) but the problem persists.
sometimes... not frequently (unfortunately always from a person for me very important) I lose the SMSs: the telephone "revives", illuminates the display green and red buttons... but nothing.... SMS=0
(I have called the person that I imagined had written me and has confirmed me)
I have tried the whole radios: 2.69 (good audio...), 2.61...very fast but bad receipt, 2.47 (I thought the best), 2.37 (original of mine k-jam Italian), 2.25 of T-mob and finally the 2.19.. from all declared the best... but with a bad audio according to me.
Any idea?
with a downgrade to WM5 the problems seem to disappear....
Please, help.... i love WM6....
i think its not bcuz of wm6 !
you RESET your phone without any reason ! if you RESET your phone , all incoming data will be lost !
so try shutting down your phone by pressing and holding the power botton and this problem probably will be gone
Tau,
This is a confirmed problem with WM6, if you search around you'll find the T-Mobile Radio ROM and CIngular Radio ROM threads where people outline some of the issues they've been having and the fixes they've tried and gotten to either work or fail. I'd just reccomend either switching back to AKU 3.3 or just keep trying different radios.
That's a radio issue, the only ones that seem to work consistently is Farias version of 2.69 or 2.19. The non faria version of 2.69 still seems to have that problem, at least for me it did.
thanks...i'll try faria's one

No problem. The easiest way to figure out if a radio is going to work for you is to hook your phone up to activesync and then call yourself or text yourself while it's connected. If the the send and end lights come on but you don't recieve the call or sms it's time to flash a different radio rom. Call yourself or text yourself a few times to make sure because you may just get lucky and it recieves the call or sms the first time or 2.
Hi all,
I've got a Vodafone (UK) v1240 (HTC Tornado Noble variant) running ericjm WM6 For Tornado - HTC Edition ROM and GSM.02.61.01 / SPL.2.00.0014.
Every day or two, the 'G' symbol disappears from the bar at the top of the Home screen and doesn't return. GPRS is unavailable until I use the connection manager to turn the radio off and back on again.
This is *really* annoying as I use push email on a daily basis and often find ActiveSync in 'waiting for network' mode, even though I'm in an area with a good signal.
I've tried the registry hack of setting GRPS to 'Always on' and renaming the 'SuspendResume' registry value - but that doesn't seem to help this issue.
I've seen a few other grumbles on this forum and around the www about this issue - but no firm solutions. Can anyone shed any light on this - or suggest a fix?
the GPRS issue is fixed with the latest radio ROM update, did you run phil's WM6GSMUpdate? If not, get it from my tutorial in my signature
Thanks for the response karhoe.
I did apply WM6GSMUpdate while following an install guide similar to yours for ericjm's WM6 For Tornado - HTC Edition ROM.
I'll try re-applying it, but I believe it is already in effect as my radio version states: 4.1.13.28_02.61.01
Any other ideas?
Try this
I have the same problem when i use andot's ROM. I have also upgraded the radio to 4.1.13.28_02.61.01, but still not solved.
Finally, after i change my ROM to NiTroGenious' WM6 English 5.2.1616.18120 ROM, and upgraded my SPL to 2.00.0014, the problem has been solved. I am not sure whether is the ROM or SPL solve the problem.
If you want to upgrade your SPL, please find the link under NiTroGenious's signatures.
One thing I have seen even in my own phone (running VJs ROM v3.2) that depending on what's being refreshed on my home screen, the "E" symbol will disappear. In that case, it's not that my GPRS connection has dropped, it's just that the top bar isn't refreshing to display the symbol. If I force a home screen refresh, lo and behold it's back again. Could that be what's happening with you?
Hi,
I updated my HTC Kaiser 120 (purchased in Germany) to HTC WM6.1. First I took 3.03.405.0 (Radio 1.64.06.04). After that I realized that my GPS was not detected as in case of the original ROM. I tested it with 3.02.405.0 (Radio 1.58.26.20) also with no difference.
After that I re-installed a dump of original German WM 6.0 1.56.4007.3 (radio 1.27.12.11 and bootloader 22.45.88.07H). Unfortunatelly my device hangs if the device switch itself off (after a miute for power saving reasons). The phone is still active, but I cant switch it on again (using the power button). Only a soft-reset helps in that case.
Do you clues on these problems?
I would be interested in updating to WM6.1, but only if the GPS works OK.
Thanks,
Gabor
I'd say that you stick to WM6 ROM till some very stable WM6.1 versions are available.
Cheers!
do you have a clue regarding the blocking power-off function of the original German WM6?
Thanks,
Gabor
I've recently upgraded my O2 xda ii mini from WM2003 to Cotulla's WM6.5, and Radio 1.13
Everything's OK but except:
Whenever my battery drop down below 60%, it will display no signal at all, no service... And when click con Phone, Phone Setting, Sim Manager... It'll pop up: "The phone is not ready, wait 15 sec" => Then wait all day long with no result... (If I plug the charge, everything'll be fine)
I bought a new battery, and still not works...
And I don't know why, now, even the battery indicator gone mad... Always 0%, charging, when the phone running smoothly...
Sorry for my bad English.
How can I solve those problems now?
Hi,
are you sure you have radio 1.13?
So long,
MrFX
can you post some screenshots of Device Information and Phone Settings.? so that we can diagnose properly. . .
I don't know how to take a screenshot on my PDA, but I'll write it down...
Device Infomation:
ROM version: 3.06.00 WWE
ROM date: 25/12/09
Radio version: 1.13.00
Protocol version:1337.43
ExtROM version: <Nothing>
And Phone Setting:
Well, my network, I set to auto, not work, then I set to manual, but still can't solve...
Hi,
how the hell you've installed this rom with radio 1.13? If i tried this, there was a bad radio error...
Please try the radio 1.12 like described on cotullas site:
*You must have installed 1.12 or 3.00+ radio.

I've installed radio 1.13 first... Then install that ROM, and they're still work OK if battery is over 60%...
How do I down grade to 1.12? The 1.12 installer always said that the cable is disconnect...

Hi,
is it an old or a new battery?
I had also some problems with my older bat, it shows always a good status, but i was not able (with full bat) to flash any new ROM to the Magician, and sometimes the Phone was going down.
After i replaced the battery with a new one, the Magician works very well.
So long,
MrFX
Sorry, both the old one and the new one brought no good result...
Hi,
do you have the same problem with WM 2003 (now)?

Ah yes... I think that's hardware problem
And another problem is:
Now my O2 will not sound anything out when receive a message or a phone call if PDA is off (it still vibrate though). If it's on, it sounds normally...
I don't know what the heck is going on... Everythings works fine before I flash the WM6.5 in... Even now I flash back to WM2003... It still screwed up...
are you sure you have downgraded to 1.12 wm2003se.?
if you still have that same problem, try to change network provider or change SIM, maybe you have a network bandwidth problem.
check the antenna pads if it's tightly intact, if there still no luck, you better find a technician.
ohh i forgot, the last time you upgraded your device did you use and run this file.? MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe if yes, then you should not be having problems with your network cause that file helps fix country id error.
Yes I did...
I tried another SIM from a different Provider, but no hope.
I cleaned the antenna, still the same.
Try a different battery. Nothing happen (still below 60% and no services).
Now, if some one call me or SMS, it has no sound at all, unless the PDA is turned on (that means the screen still show Windows menu, not black).
The Cotulla's WM6.5, the virtual keyboard: Sometimes the Delete or the Backspace key doesn't work at all, and I have to reboot.
If I press a hard button, it will show a message box said the short cut is invalid.
If I flash WM2003, then, I can't turn off the device by the side button. I must set it auto turn off after 1 min.
My country have no such technician for me to ask. Just a bunch of liars... ^^
May be it's too old, and I have to buy a new one.

before you buy a new one, do first an experiment so that we can corner the problem, you must downgrade to the original rom, just ignore the turn off button, i think it can be tweak in the registry.
follow this steps, this is my way of downgrading.
1.) download this rom http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/Magician/MA_O2Asia_11200_920_11200_Ship.exe
2.) extract those files in a folder. (any folder name you like, use winrar.)
3.) run the file ROMUpgradeUt.exe
4.) download and save this file inside the folder where you extracted the files in step 1. http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/Magician/MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe after you downloaded it, run it.
5.) follow the onscreen instruction until your done flashing.
observe your device if it still have the same problem.
I did try as you suggest...
The same problem... Nothing changed... And even still no sound when the PDA is "sleeping"...
I don't know what to do with this "thing" now...

maybe you have a hardware problem. let them check by a technician. cotulla's rom works fine on my device. no problem encountered so far.
