Hey guys whats up, does anybody know any info on the stauts on WM6? Any word for the 750? I just cant wait for it to come out.
I've heard no earlier than June, although nothing says that it can't take a little longer than that.
Update
I'd bet on late summer, early fall
No one knows for sure.. ..there is some dude in Spain that said in an interview that the update will be available in june. But there isn't any info about wich carier, or where it will be released. Guess they keep us left in the dark about this one

Palm Insider says June and has pictures. I doubt it will be on time, something will keep it from being released on time.

I bought the Treo 750 based soley on the fact that Palm annouced the Windows Mobile 6 update was official!
Been using WM6 on my wizard for 3 months now. Always wanted a Treo 750, but couldn't bear to go back to WM5.
Hope this is released sooner rather than later!

I felt the same way, but I really like a lot of the usability enhancements Palm made. I didn't want to move away from WM6, but Palm has made the transition easier to accept. I just can't wait until WM6 is released - that will make it all better!
speaking of enhancements, I very much like the threaded messaging feature on the Treo 750. Hope that remains intact on WM6 for the Treo?!

I hope they integrate it into the actual messaging app, so I don't have to waste a Start Menu item and/or key shortcut.
Sorry richy, but I wouldn't expect any major differences between the WM5 and WM6 builds. The majority of the enhancements belong to WM6.
Why does the messaging app take up more space or more key shortcuts than the pocket outlook inbox? (In the settings menu you can specify what shows up in the start menu)
Hope this upgrade eliminate those stupid %#@&!(@#^ bug(S)...
I can wait for june or july... but it must be bug free ^^

I harldy think it's gonna be bug free, but I've owned a few other WM devices Prophet, Wizard, Tornado, Typhoon and Voyager by HTC and I must say that the Treo is by far the most stable, although it's not the fastest or the most tweakeable device. This is probably due to the business customer they are aiming at
Things that will remain:
- annoying E-mail on the left soft button
- SMS -> left softkey DELETE instead of NEW. Lucky for us Treo users we have our threaded SMS
The thing I'm looking for is the extra speed with WM6 on the Treo, seen in it action and it sure looks promissing!

Stable... dunno bout that, I'm using Pocket Breeze and Handy Switcher that always running in the background. My Treo kindda in love with hang
not the fastest n tweakable... yes, can not agree more with that. That's what i afraid from WM06, it more resources hog and not tweakable (My thought)

I think the fact that the WM6 update for the Blackjack was leaked is a great sign for the 750 because they were supposed to be released all around the same time. I was very amazed that AT&T didn't pull it down from the forums on their website.

I've watched a video about WM6 on the Treo and it's much more faster than WM5 if you ask me! Can't wait to gain a few more % off extra speed on the OS!

I don't think you can change the left softkey to just one function!? You will always have that anoying E-mail app under the left soft key.

My LSK goes to messages, so not only email but when I click on my LSK there are two option appear, SMS and Email (coz Trroe seperate this fuction)

We mean the same thing. You can add an extra application, but you can't get rid of the e-mail!
I just install the WM5new button and assign it to the left soft key. Now I can select to send new SMS, MMS, email, Word doc, etc...
Works pretty good.`

It's not for everyone's taste. It's kind of a love/hate thing with the cube. Some users are obsessed with it once they have it while others think it's a waste of resources. To each his own. . . But that's why we post this stuff so evryone can decide for themself.
Touch Flo cube is just a flash app?
Sorry for my ignorance, but Touch Flo cube is just a flash app?
If so, how can we configure it?
very nice idea, i doubt i will use it tho. looks good and is easy to set up...but its a bit naff

The HTC Touch Version uses dll's and other hardware/software stuff. IMHO the hardware isn't really key to the interface, just convenient on the actual TOUCH. I've run Wizards, the TMo Wing, an Apache and my Athena with TouchFlo ROMS and/or this flash app. Hardware handles it fine, just with a few small substitutions for not having the bottom area of the HTC Touch's screen available on these other devices.
This version of it is recreated as an Adobe Flash (tm) app. once you install FlashLite, the install the Szabi CubeLauncher you also get a CubeConfig in your programs folder. It is extremely intuitive once you install it and have a play with it. If you have further questions after getting that far, let me know I and I will try to assist you.

Thanks for testing and thanks for the reply.
can somebody explain the step to me?thanks
It works but I'd rather it be able to be launched right from "Today" straight away rather than having to launch the alternative flash "Today" first. Anyone able to do that? And I don't seem to be able to remap the "LaunchCube" to a hardware button
you can use THIS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334965
to map your finger move to open the cube.
Hi lyka,
I've tried it already. But i only managed to remap it to open the flash app from which I have to swipe UP again.
Plus, from my experience from using the Ftouchflo, it kinda screws up the sensitivity of stylus taps -> tap and hold doesn't work in some apps anymore, tapping became tap+move... stuff like that.
It's a great development and I have my utmost respect for Efrost though! Bravo to him!
TouchFLO
Yes, I'm playing with this one as well
Cheers,
Leo
There's another flash cube being worked on with the whole touchflo shebang in mind.

hehe! no need to reply to this post though... only if you know how..

Nop doesn't work. Universals don't have that registry
Check out SlideSound at http://tiermann.co.nr
There's also a thread on it at ppcgeeks. It works with QVGA and VGA now.
It's not dependant on the screen driver or anything, so any wm5/6 device that can rotate it's screen should trigger it.
wow that software works, it crashes sometimes but it works anyway. is there any program that executes a sound when the uni is turned on or when you open it ?
thanks man... just what i was looking for...

It crashes for you? Any error messages, like even a .net error or anything? So far it's only been tested on HTC Apache (6700) with .net Compact Framework 2.0 and 3.5, and I believe someone is running it successfully on the Mogul too. If you could post any errors I can see if I can take care of them.

it crashes sometimes, i dont have the error message infront of me now.. nothing major, it rarely crashes, not like all the time kind of thing so no worries..
Always puzzled me this. Why would you want everyone around you to know you've just opened or flipped your phone?
just for fun, not for people to see me,
or shall the answer is "I need toys"?
He He. Just like my Samsung, with it's musical box tones on the keypad too. Not the thing to forget when you're trying to send a quick text under the table at a boring business meeting though!

yea its work when I rotate the screen, i hope it can add the condition when device start to wake.
at another device, eten Glofiish M700, it won't play.
Ok so when I get a text or email on my TF3D and I open the email or text. Then I hit reply/open the qwerty and the box comes. then I start to type and it goes into my phone!! I x the phone out and im back to main display with qwerty open. So then I have to go back in messages select message and reply.
Anyone else????? This is frustrating when you are trying to type a quick message.
Yes i have encountered this problem, not just with texting. Try pairing with bluetooth in landscape...i bet the passcode prompt does that same thing?

If issues like this dont get fixed I will dump this in the garbage drawer, sad but windows really needs to get stupid stuff like this figured out. I never have these issues with RIM and other devices.

Perhaps try a cooked ROM such as fireROM?? if you leave the ROM as it was when you bought it then you havent played the game!

This is my first windows phone that has had the hardware I like so I havent really done all the cooked and hacks etc..
Can you link me to this I would love to keep this phone.
Thanks!
I think I have read somewhere that you should give it a sec or 2 before you actually start typing the qwerty.
This way you will have the same window infront of you.
Regarding BT, that really sucks but still a one time thing if it's a headset and you do not pair devices every day...
But all in all, I think we shouldn't be worried.
This is just S/W ****ty bugs that will be fixed when we have our great chefs cook their 3rd or 4th ROM release we will have satisfying results.
I just hope this forum gets the attention that was on Kaiser, then we will all enjoy
I remember Kaiser's WM6 ROMs had a similar bug,
Comm Manager kept popping every now and then infront of you and was fixed in time...
We have to keep in mind that this is the start and we will have to be keen on all threads posted around.
I just hope we get all the help from the greatest devs at Diamond forum as it won't be alot different.
Differences in time will be known to chefs and as they cook a Diamond ROM they can add some stuff and release it to Raph as well.
Way ahead of myself aren't I
Alot to look forward to, which is the fun of WinMo IMO
Cheers
the other way of doing it is to wait until the reply screen is actually shown before you open the keyboard.
If i hit reply in TF3d and then immediately open the keyboard before the compose screen has appeared, then yes, it does exactly as you describe.
if i hit reply, and then open the keyboard AFTER the compose screen has appeared, no such problem.
you need to let the messaging app open before you open the keyboard, otherwise the opening of the keyboard triggers tf3D, not the messaging.
Minor bug, and one that will no doubt be fixed soon enough by the devs here.

I have tried this, it does not always work.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Been using TF3D on Energy Warhark ROM for my Raphael. I like TF3D now that it works (in the non-stock ROM). But - I miss today screen on WM. Specifically - I need to see my tasks list often and I also like SPB insight runing. Anyone know how to switch fast between manila and WM Today w/o tediously going to setting tab? Or better yet, a tweak for manila for tasks tab?
what you can do is find the "search" link on top and use it.
Look for Manila Detacher. There's a newer app like it in the raph software forum, but I can't remember the name. There's also the Manla Today Tab, but it may not work on that version of Manila.

Second Today is another ap.
You can configure it to run TF3D and set one of your soft keys to Second Today and you can toggle between interfaces.
I run this also in conjunction with SPB Mobile Shell, on the other soft key just to show off....
