Answers of problems with different roms
I've tried all the WM6 ROM's that were build and would like to give all of you some of my feedback.
I think the problems and solutions are depending of wich brand, phone edition, country and provider you are using. For example the MDA –pro from T-Mobile has different hardware than the qtek 9000 that I'm using now. So this might explain why some testers have problems with their phone while others don't.
This is why it sometimes is difficult to locate the problem. I mean how often do you see that people are saying "I have this and that problem" while many others are saying "Nope, works fine with me"... At the moment I have and old MDA-pro from T-Mobile and a brand new Qtek 9000. After installing Ivan's wm6 on the T-Mobile and on the Qtek, i noticed that the T-Mobile phone started out with nothing but problems. After installation and soft-reset I had the following results.
T-Mobile
1. It freezed after 1rst soft-reset after installation.
2. 3G connection dropped.
3. Reconnect to internet very difficult
4. Phone on, signal on but call don’t come trough?
5. Works better with radio 1.09
6. Bleutooth sucks with headsets and internet sharing
7. Often have problems with the windows media player
8. Synchronising takes ages (using Vista Ultimate)
Qtek 9000
1 No problems
2 3G on for 3 days now
3 Reconnection better but still not perfect.
4 Don’t have this problem
5 Same here, but as said can be provider
6 Lose my paired device (parrot CK3100)
mostly after a day or 2 quite irritating.
7 No problems until I use the hibernate
when installed not correct.
8 Synchronising works o.k. (using Vista Ultimate)
I can’t make complete list of all the bugs, but I just wanted to give you an example of the differences between these two phones.
The Rom from Ivan and Midget are one of the best at the moment.
Still I have some problems with their latest built (V3) and these bugs are based on my latest HTC Universal.
- As mentioned I lose my paired carkit device
- After changing settings (don’t know wich settings trigger this but..) you can’t create or edit a new email account. I haven’t install any programs, just synchronized with my laptop (OS Vista Ultimate)

Issues with Alpha Wm6 Rom

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

Thanks.

Straightforward Upgrade:TyTn/8525 to Kaiser/8925/AT&T Tilt and ActiveSynch 4.1 to 4.5

Straightforward Upgrade:TyTn/8525 to Kaiser/8925/AT&T Tilt and ActiveSynch 4.1 to 4.5
I just had a flawless/straightforward/smooth upgrade and thought I'd share what I did. This forum has helped me significantly in the past so I thought I'd contibute and help some others.
I suffered through the early 8525/TyTn issues over a year ago - took me over 2 months to get it to work right. The Kaiser/Tilt is awesome. I bought the Tilt from AT&T last week (unlike the unlocked TyTn last year); within a few hours, I had it set up like I wanted.
1. I followed Microsoft's instructions down to the last detail, no exceptions. Even connected the USB cable to the Windows PC directly (no hub/base). See: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
2. You must use ActiveSync 4.5; older versions dont work. PATIENCE is the key word. On one of my newer machines it took about 5 minutes; on a 5 year old XP it seemed like it was stuck at 99% for about an hour - PATIENCE!!!!!
2. My first order of business was to get a backup program. spbBackup is a must. (Saved me numerous times with the TyTn in the past)
2. PDANet does not work on the Tilt and WM 6.0 (per June Fabrics and it did not work for me). Internet Sharing is terrific. Though TECHNICALLY you dont need anything from AT&T (the software comes with the Tilt), I upgraded from my unlimited data plan to an unlimited data plus tethering plan.
3. AT&T (Cingular) has a great support center on-line where you will find all the settings you need for isp.cingular and wap.cingular.
4. You dont need CF 2.0 - comes with WM 6.0.
5. If you want to upgrade the 8525 to WM 6.0 check out the HTC/AT&T site. The upgrade is available thru Feb 2008. I decided not to upgrade since it seemed like it would be an unsupported upgrade in the future. That was one of the reasons I went to the Tilt.
6. My Tilt is loaded to the hilt with all kinds of software, GPS, Music, Radio, TV, StockMonitor, Fitness Programs, Games - you name it. Not one problem like the TyTn. All the ActiveSync problems seem to have been resolved. No need for the screen-toggle function from spbPocketPlus to by-pass the TyTn lockup-under-external-power problem, or the missing music issue.
7. I load all software to the card (2GB is adequate for me, even with music).
Hope this helps at least one of you.

[SOLVED] HTC Tilt + Dutty WM6.1 + BBConnect = PIN: Pending

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/o2-terra-bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb_4.0.0.84.cab
4.0.0.90:
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_pro_4.0.0.90.cab
4.0.0.91:
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb_4.0.0.91.cab
4.0.0.92:
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1903958&postcount=5
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

Do you have a link for desktop manager?

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.
So I went to Start/Settings/Connections/Connections and then clicked on 'Manage existing connections' and changed the settings (default on Dutty's ROM).

Cingular 2125 online, but randomly unavailable for incoming calls.

Hello,
I flashed my phone with HTC Tornado WM6 Std few weeks ago. During last 14 days I'm getting information from friends that I'm randomly unavailable.
I'm using ActiveSync to Exchange email sync and Slick (ICQ) was installed on the phone (not executed anyway). Yesterday I sent a SMS and few seconds later I got a SMS from operator with the list of calls that the network was unable to connect.
I suspect that GPRS/EDGE ActiveSync synchronization is causing the phone unavailable for voice calls. But this is against the GPRS standard.
Is it "normal" for this device or it may be the Radio ROM problem (4.1.13.28_02.61.01)?
Thank you
Not available
I have a Qtek 8310 and I've been encountering the same problem all the time on different WM6.1 ROMs. My operator says it shouldn't be so (i.e. this is not their fault). In my case the problem only appears when I'm downloading something. The moment after the download is over the incoming call comes through fine.
I tried different radio versions from original 02.20.01 till 2.71.01 (from a different HTC device). None helped. I only noticed that the older 2.20.01 is more stable in general.
Well, I still don't know the answer, so let's see what other people say...
Works fine now...
Since my last post I've done 2 things: tried WM6.1 Pro RC7 and WM6.5 and changed mobile operator.
1) with any Pro ROM radio worked very stable, without that issue, but I had to switch back to 6.1 Std ROM because it's more comfortable for me.
2) after I had changed mobile operator from a small local one to on of the federal, now everything works fine even on Std ROM.
So, the answer is probably ROM-operator incompatibility.

random no sound issue

I became a couple of weeks ago the happy owner of a HTC Cruise bought with a personalized WM 6.0 Orange RO firmware. Unfortunately I had the great disappointment to discover that from time to time, even two or three times a day, the sounds disappear, I mean all of them – the voice of the caller, alarms, notifications, no matter if the device is on or in stand by. That happens with no apparent reason, in different times, even while I am speaking with a caller – so, while I am talking with somebody, all of a sudden the phone's sounds disappear - I am speaking but I am not hearing the voice of my caller who keeps talking with me. On other occasions, my wife or other persons call me, but because the phone doesn’t ring in my pocket, I am unaware it's ringing and I don't know I have to pick it up and answer.
Whenever it happens and I notice the issue, I soft-reset the device and the sound returns, but after a few hours the problem reappears.
I must confess that I didn't use the original rom at all, as soon as I got it, I upgraded to a a newer rom, at that time deciding on a pdaviet 6.5 ROM, using the recommended radio. Thinking it might be a ROM problem, I hoped switching to an official firmware would solve the problem, so at the moment I am using the official 6.1 firmware (I think it comes with it's own radio). The issue remains.
The only thing that remained constant is the hard spl - could that have anything to do with it??
Any ideas?
I doubt it's Hard SPL issue... too many users (with very various ROMs), and not a common problem.
It could be some software, since problem is not constant. Does problem repeat if using "naked" ROM - meaning, no additional programs installed?
so simple
Great idea! It was so simple it didn't even cross my mind. And you are right, it could be an explanation, considering there is ton of installed programs. I'll do a clear storage and keep you posted.
thanks!
I had de same problem. I beleave it is the radio. Now I have V.1.59.42.15 and it works fine.
I'm not sure...

I have (and had) the same version of radio, because that's included in the official htc wm6.1 rom.
Right now I'm testing the pda without any additional software installed, and up to this point I haven't noticed the audio bug. I'll wait some more and see
Nice.
Check my list of installed programs.
I have NO audio, BT or GPS problems at all...
i have the same problem with wm 6.5 roms. when i install any 6.5 rom. my polaris goes to silent.. then i reinstall any 6.1 rom it works fine..
Try other WM 6.5 ROM... if you have to...
Same problem here, with 6.1 roms bepe's one an the oficial of movistar (here in spain).
And no other adicional programs instaled. (except TomTom)
