MS Voice Command not working..for many of us..

I'm having this problem and have seen several others with same. When trying to use VC, get the "..have encountered a problem, try restarting" error. I fixed this problem with registry corrections before but the required Keys are not setup when installing under WM5 or lower. Just having this problem with WM6 (reloaded 1.7.1). Any ideas?

What else do you have loaded on your phone(s) that have this issue. I use VC on all WM6 and WM5 roms that I've run (and ones I've cooked, like the Crossbow Reloaded ones you mentioned) and have never had this error and I've never tweaked around registry settings. I just install the cab and it works...
Are you installing VC 1.6 US?

With all the WM6 roms i've used (not as many as some but i'm new here) I haven't had an issue with VC 1.6 US either.

don't think it's a definite answer, but i did have this problem in the past when i installed voice command on my memory card rather than on phone memory. sometimes during loadup after a soft reset i would get that error...think it's because it takes longer to load from the card and voice command is setup to run right away (always in the background)...
if it's installed on the phone memory...dunno...sorry

I run VC 1.6 US and have never had a problem with it. I always install it in main memory.

I give..
Going back to WM5 Molski. To answer some of the post..
It's VC 1.6
No other software loaded..Fresh flash.
Installed to device, not storage *only option offered for install location*.
Get a message during device install: (...recommend installing to main memory. Do you still want to install to "."...) I answer Yes because it just aborts install to say No.
Thanks for the replies guys..

<--[Totally Screwed]
OK, now I have no sound from the speakers and Mic not working. While in Phone mode, the speaker button stays in the On position and won't turn off. Got the old Voice Command registry settings in place but it seems the new problem is the culprit. Going to start a new thread with new problem unless someone has any ideas..

Closing out
Back up and functioning on Molski 3.3 Crossbow. From what I can tell, during the WM 6 load, the speaker phone option became stuck in the On position but the speakers and Mic were not functioning. Voice Command seemed to know there was a problem and gave the "..restart VC.." message. After re-flashing Molski (a few times, still no joy), I flashed with the wired earbud/Mic connected. After flash and phone restart, I removed the headset while in phone mode. Speaker button reset to normal, phone speakers/mic started working again. Reloaded Voice Command and all worked.
aaahh the joys of PDAdome.. Where else can you get the thrill of accomplishment by getting back to the same friggin place
Thanks again for the replies all..

I have actually had this error a LOT with various ROMS, all were based on the Faria real thing base I believe. I'm not sure if that's relevant or not. At first it would just pop up randomly. Sometimes I could restart it and it would be fine, others it would never restart until I soft reset. The errors tended to get more and more frequent until it finally stopped working completely. Even on a reset it would come up right away. I hard reset that particular rom and it was fine for awhile but the issue returned and much more quickly. I never really installed any software onto the phone that ran in the background so I'm really at a loss as to what causes it. The last couple of ROMs I used didn't have VC and I never bothered to reinstall it because it kept having errors anyways. I am about to reflash yet again so I guess I'll put it in if it's not already there and see how it goes.

Give Molski a try..

I didn't have any problems with his roms (..and went back to it with no probs). Only started having problems after I tried the Faria WM6. If the Molski works for you let me know. We'll give Faria a nudge.. Good Luck!

VC issues I've run across
I've tried pretty much every WM6 rom out there.... and cooked some of my own using the Pandora Kitchen.... and it seems that VC 1.6 decides to ignore my bluetooth activation button on some roms... all incoming calls and texts and reminders get announced as expected and the handsfree works great, but I can't push the headset button and get VC to wakeup.... Tried disabling VC and then re-enabling it, repairing the bluetooth, removing and then readding VC... nothing would fix it.... reflash with a different rom and presto! VC works!
At one point I had a strange issue with the bluetooth microphone.... VC would work fine (I'd ask "what time is it" and it would tell me the time) but when I was in a call, no one could here me.... I ended up enabling and then disabling auto gain control... wallah, mic works again.... weirdness.... (don't think this was rom related)
Anyway... the roms that I've had this problem with was XDA Mobile 6 (release 1... relase 2 is kicking a$$) and I think NBD 7.1... never had a problem with a ny Pandora cooked roms.....
Anyway... my $.02... (I'll probably get change)
kudo's to the rom wizards that be...

never had a problem. Installed in a few different roms. works fine
installed to main memory.

[Issues] Open Touch v4.0 | WM 6.1 | T-Mobile Wing!

Windows Live / Hotmail Problems
Does anyone else have problems getting Windows Live to sync your hotmail? I finally got it working with the push support, but it does not allow me to download attachments. Anytime I try to download an attachment it says failed to sync. I've tried the 3 latest versions available from this board and none of them seem to work. I've also tried these combinations with both versions of biggy 4.0 to no avail. With open touch 3.0 (Windows live biggie) the Windows Live service was working perfectly. I can't imagine that having windows live built into the Rom was what made the difference. Any one have any ideas? If this is simply an unfixable bug do you know if the gmail imap works like a push client? I tried to configure gmail, but it wouldn't allow anything quicker than a check every 5 mins.
Once again thanks ttran for your hard work in creating this great rom. Without it I'd probably be an iSheep by now.
thanks in advance

Not sure if this is an operator error or the rom error but I installed the Black Dialer from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1649317&postcount=1
I followed the instructions and did a soft reset, after that the Micro v4.1 run really sloooow. I have to perform a hard reset and reinstall all the other cabs.
So is it because I installed the wrong dialer cab or is it something wrong with the Micro v4.1? Whatever reason is I hope this is a good info for other ppl, too.
Other than that the Micro v4.1 run amazing fast and I do miss the black dial from the Lite Black version

Using battery status?? I get the noise while using the cpu scaler UNDERclocking below 149. If it annoys you that much raise your min to 149. Otherwise, just try setting different processor speeds...dont over do it, see if that doesnt help.

ttran...I finally resolved my problem with Pocket Nester! Turns out it was user error... I had the files on my storage card in My Documents instead of having them at the root level. I noticed that it was seeing some of the folders on the storage card but none of the ones in My Documents. I moved them to the root of the storage card and it works!

since there is talk about the dialer i thought i would ask... in OT Biggy 3.0 the dialer had buttons that were quite large.
in this version the dialer is alot better, because it has the contacts built right into it at the top. however there is alot of space between the buttons, making them too small for my fingers.
is there a skin that just makes the dialer buttons bigger without downgrading back to the 3.0 version?
great work ttran, i am running 4.0 biggy w/ cube... just fyi and no issues thus far (only been testing for 2 days though)

Radio issue?
I'm not sure if this is a radio issue or something else, but here goes.
I flashed the lite black rom late last week.
I've been running a BT GPS for a while now with this phone. I've had my BT headset paired as well. I can use both at the same time. Monday, while talking on the headset, it just ended the call spontaneously. A few minutes later, after getting a call back on, it just ended the BT portion, and I had to actually pick up the phone (Horrors!)
Today, the cell phone side seems to be having troubles. (I've not tried the BT headset again, but still running the GPS) Several times I have had a "!" next to the phone icon in place of a signal strength meter... no signal or some error. I've had connection errors with the GPRS as well.
I may try out the micro with the newer radio in it, or look more into flashing an older radio version on here.
Let me know if you need any more details.

Hi,
I'm aware of the issues with the current radio, that why I posted the old radio and splash from v3.0.
Please go back to the first page of the actual release page for v4.0 to download it.

The dialer I used for v4.0 is different than any others. I did not include it in the micro since there are so many people with different wants and needs.
Some dont like the color of the dialer, some don't like the way the buttons are too small, and etc.
Thus I just plan left it out, so you the user can install a different dialer on top of the existing one.
But I think the one you try to use does not work correctly as a cab.
I've tested the micro version by installing different dialers with success.
I will try and locate a similar dilaer to mine or just create a cab for you folks as soon as I get some free time.
I still need to post different colors for the back ground as well.
Been busy working on my personal rom which will be for version 5.0 and the other versions of 4.0.

i'm using OT 4.0 biggy vista and everytime I set the backlight option to turn off after 3 minutes instead of 30 seconds and the power to turn off in 5 minutes instead of 2 as soon as the power goes off and I turn it on it's right back to 30 seconds and 2 minutes. This ain't a major issue it's just a pain in the ass cuz i'm using slide to unlock and evry 30 seconds I have to keep unlocking it.

I personally like it that way better, That way the HTC task manager and the OK button dont overlap and creat confusion. Instead, I use Quickmenu since that has it's own task manager. It shows you what's running and you can close them as well using Quickmenu.
Take a look into it

Yes you're right. I had to hard reset the Wing since that Black dialer doesn't have the removed option. Well it's a learning experience for me too. And fortunately that v4.1 is UC, all I need to do is remove those cabs from the SDConfig.txt file and re-run it again and voila all the cabs I need is back on the Wing.
Can't wait till you post the cab for the dialer.
So far I love the Lite Black but I like the speed on the Micro better. That's why I try to get the Micro as much closer to the Lite Black as possible.
1 more thing I notice on the Micro, after installed "JUVS HTC Home.v2_1_1005722_s0" cab sometime when I switch back to the home the area where the HTC Home should be got "scramble" for about 2 sec. I still try to duplicate it and report back. It already happened to me 2 times today.

now people have to read 2 threads for 1 rom....... mhhhhhhh.

Just can say Thanks for your great rom.!
It runs perfect..

Sound Issues - Not Radio related!

Hi,
Is anybody else experiencing issues with losing sound on their phone? I have been experiencing this on a number of different roms and initially put it down to an incompatible radio, but I have sinced flashed back to one of Dutty's roms (including radio) and it happened again. I have now flashed back to the stock bootloader and HTC rom and it has happened again!
I am at a bit of a loss now - am in the process of hard resetting my phone to see if it happens on a bare device as I had a number of apps installed although none of them had caused this problem before that I am aware.
Would be interesting to know if anyone else is getting this - don't know if its possible that any of the recent radio/rom releases could have done something permanently damaging to cause this. Will be sending mine back to HTC if it happens again, unless someone identifies a fix?!?
Cheers!

happened to me yesterday. i had to hard reset and my phone still isn't customized 24hrs later.

Do you remember what apps you had installed?

I'm starting to think all of this has something to do with MSVC.

well i have consistently been using version 19209 whilst having these problems. Going to try 17913 again and see how that goes.

Mine too
I've been getting this alot lately, too. I think it's either MS VC or S2U2 1.01, or a combination of them.
I've done the same thing, flashed multiple ROMS and radios, but I've stayed in the WM6.1 family. I was running Confused Stu's Vista 1.2 forever and it suddenly started doing that - loosing sound. I went to 1.3 and then over to a Dutty build, and have now settled on L26_WM6.1_PROV4_(3.51.502.0_WWE)_Multimedia... This time I went slow and only loaded a few apps at a time. I thought it was Calendar+... But I don't have that on here yet.
It seems like it ran fine until I put S2U2 on here, but like I say, I use MS VC to announce everything so maybe it's some action there that didn't happen until after I put s2u2 on there, or maybe coincidence.
I wonder if anyone else is seeing this? I think I'll start over without S2U2 - even tho it rocks! - and chill a week.
Do you use S2U2? Do you use Caller ID in S2U2? How about slide 2 answer, slide 2 end key options? What about blank screen on talk option?
Thanks,
H

s2u2 v1.01 could be the culprit as i have been using it. After slowly reloading apps this morning sound had gone again, and one of the last to go on was s2u2. I don't think MSVC is the problem as it has never done it before plus its cooked into a lot of new roms, whereas s2u2 isn't. Am going to uninstall s2u2 and see what happens. It was one of the last things I put on and sound had been stable before that.

Im getting this issue as well, what radio are you guys running just out of interest, im running duttys 6.1 build 19199 with radio 1.65.14.06

I haved the same problem and resolve it by flash ing TNT 19202 Series PRO with radio 1.65.14.06. Best regards.

Well, the issue came back on the stock rom when I bit the bullet and installed a slightly older version of S2U2 (0.99p)!
I have now reflashed Hard-SPL and the latest Dutty Rom (with MSVC included) and have resisted putting S2U2 on and so far, so good!!

Hey, Zaf, do you run S2U2 or MS VC?
I flashed back to the AT&T Tilt stock ROM (downloaded from HTC web site, incl the radio) and reloaded S2U2 1.01 and MS VC. I lost sound within a couple of hours.
I did a hard reset and have not installed EITHER... I plan to run for a day like this, then put MS VC back on for the weekend, and then S2U2 after that.
I think it's S2U2 and I think it's been around since .99p. But I think 1.01 is worse than .99p or 1.0.
Well, at least we're narrowing down the variables!

Hey, everyone - watch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390977
for a similar discussion.

I flashed TNT 19202 Pro thus morning and the sound died few hours later again... Don't use S2U2. I posted more here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2207600&postcount=18

I have lost sound 3 times, it is only through the speaker though, my bluetooth headset continues to work. Once I flashed a new rom to fix it, the other time it fixed itself over a few hours. The third time is happening now!
I have never used S2U so it can't be that. Have been using Dutty's roms, my radio is currently 1.58.16.27.

are we talking about sound in calls, if so i have been experiencing calls dropping and other people can hear me fine but then it suddenly goes quiet for the other caller and they can barely hear me? is this a fault with my kaiser or to do with flashing with custom ROMs.

I think we need to be very clear here what the symptoms are of a specific problem.
My symptoms were that sound would initially be ok after flashing a new ROM (whether it had MSVC cooked in or not) and then I would go through the process of installing my 'regular' apps which has always included S2U2.
Then, at some point after doing this, all sound would disappear - from the device and also during calls (interestingly, during calls, the other party could not hear me either).
I cannot explain for one moment the issues that people who don't use MSVC/S2U2 - some of these might be explainable by radio issues but I am not an expert by any means so would not be prepared to blame that!
All I know for certain is that up until recently I could use MSVC 1.6 build 17913 alongside S2U2 0.99 with NO issues at all - this is why I think that MSVC 19209 combined with S2U2 is the reason.
One other thing, I have not tried S2U2 on its own, without using MSVC, mainly because I am fed up with flashing! Perhaps someone else could confirm or deny if this has caused problems?!?

Yes, my symptoms are EXACTLY as the captain describes in his post... Everything fine for a little while after flashing, but soon after I get all my apps reloaded I call someone, or someone calls me, and there is no sound. No audio at all from the speaker, bluetooth, or in-call speaker. The caller can't hear me, either. I have to soft reset or power cycle to get sound back but it doesn't last long.
All day I've run with the AT&T stock tilt ROM from HTC's web site, still hard SPL'd, and I did not load MSVC, S2U2, or HTC Home yet.
R 1.27.14.09
G 22.45.88.07H
D 1.62.00.00
I have run all day with no sound problems. I am now about to plunge and I think I'll put MSVC on there first and run another day, only because on a whole it's cooler than S2U2. Lets see what tomorrow brings.
Hey, I just found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391262
I am using an older build of MSVC... I grabbed the latest build and will give that a shot first. What build are you using? I WAS using 1.6.17913 but aparently it is old. I just grabbed 1.6.19209

Its interesting that you're seeing the issue with the older build of MSVC as I never had it with that build, although I can't remember if I used that build with the latest version of S2U2.
My phone has gone a whole night now with no issues without S2U2 installed, so I think that proves there is a link. Not sure if I can be bothered trying S2U2 without MSVC as, like you, I prefer having MSVC over S2U2.
What is also interesting is that there has not been much (one post I think) mention of this on the S2U2 thread. I may bring it up...

The trouble is, in 6 weeks of trying to deal with the problem by re-flashing ROMs and radios, I would still have the issue. Even though I never install MSVC nor S2U2. I even had the problem on a "clean" setup - just the ROM, I setup Internet connection, ActiveSync wireless Exchange and Note2Self - that's it nothing else. And I would lose sound within 3 to 20 hours with this setup. That's the cleanest setup I could get - I don't need my phone if I don't have Note2Self )

Just saw another of the symptoms... Another thing it would do would be to just crash after a call. So hitting END leaves the screen stuck with whatever's on it, and no way to get off that dialer screen. OK doesn't work, though when I push my VC button I hear it beep. This just happened after a call.
Anyway, I did a power cycle and it's back now. But I do not have S2U2 on here, though the MS VC lady is getting a real workout today... Anyway, sergeb will still tell us that neither app matters, anyway.
Uggh. Still resisting urge to put S2U2 on here.

I'm downloading now & will test it to see if the same BBC issue I had before is gone.
If it is, I'll be switching back to this from the L26 Diamond V8 Light.

johnny, thanks for the mirror.
idj, any luck with blackberry connect?

akadonny,
so is this just a stripped down version of the ROM or do you have applications to it?

hey ecl. it's nearly identical to my last one (3.53). it has a slightly updated os (19214 up from 19213), has a few registry tweaks and i built in the ringtone fix that i left out of last rom.
i included new cabs in the download for you to install as you see fit. they're all cabs i install with UC. i use others too like igo8 and tomtom 7, but posting them would be warez.

akadonny,
thanks for the info. I'll give it a whirl this weekend. Leave feedback when I do.
Thanks.

ahhh something clean..will give this a whirl. Thanks

I'm still not sure why it keeps having issues with freezing up. I'm going to poke around some more & remove my sdconfig.txt to make sure I'm starting totally clean.
I really only use a small set of apps, which is why I am somewhat stumped by this.

i'm not sure what would be causing lockups. i purposely held out on releasing this rom for a week so I could thoroughly test it. do you get lockups with no software or with just the cabs I provided? if you tell me what u use I can try testing it for ya.
also, what SPL are u running? i heard from some that using the spl that comes with the rom version helps in SOD and lockups. check my sig. it has a link to jockyw's hard spl's.

I have been having all kinds of problems with the ROM. When opening IE (for example), IE briefly starts but then I start getting hit with iexplorer.exe, shell32.dll, and other Windows error messages. Same thing with opening some items in the Settings menu. I've hard reset following the ROM install, and I've also reflashed the ROM. I'm running HardSPL-3.56 and Radio 1.58.25.17. I'm going to redownload the ROM and try again. I will also try another radio to see if the issue becomes resolved. I'll give a heads up.

$hit.
I don't have any of these problems on my Tilt. I'm gonna go grab my co-workers Tilt and load my rom on it. I'll use my rapidshare copy so I'm on the same page as you guys. You guys shouldn't be having these issues. Like I said before I purposely held off on releasing this to work out the bugs. Anyways, be back in a bit.

No problem, akadonny. So far, I love the ROM. Apparently, for me at least, it appears that the issue may be related with the network settings. When I open IE, Phone, Connections, I get the errors.
UPDATE: Well, just tested all of the above now... NO PROBLEMS!?!? I'm going to hard reset again and see if the issues come back. I'll post results.
Odd thing is I've flashed 3 or 4 times and hard/soft reset countless times, but had the problems mentioned above everytime. Interesting.

I just did another flash & reset to see what happened.
No other apps installed & when going into connections with the USB cable plugged in, it rebooted my phone entirely...

So glad it's working for you. Wonder why that happened.
So I just ran through the entire process of jump spl, hard spl, flash, install (a lot of crap via UC) and customize. My co-worker's Tilt works perfectly. Albeit it's only been a few minutes now, but no issues going into Connections, no random lock ups or reboots. If you look at the last pick closely you'll notice this guys Tilt has been in his dogs mouth a few times and it still works great.
I'll let you know if he reports any issues.
idj, do you have problems with any other roms? I suppose you don't or you probably would have gotton your phone replaced. Could you possibly have a hardware problem that's causing your issues? Just so you know I'm on my 4th Tilt now. First - USB plug got bent, Second - Keyboard stopped responding, Third - wouldn't accept button combo's to get into bootloader or hard reset.

akadonny, I also get the windows errors when opening IE. Dunno what the problem is but hope they get fixed because I need a clean rom I'm also using 3.56 hard and the niki/neon radio..

Hey, akadonny. Could you try something for me? Flash to the niki/neon radio (1.58.25.17) and see if you have issues then? You're using the 1.65.20.29 radio and not having any problems. But from the sounds of it idj1975, xidium, and I are having problems and using the 1.58.25.17 radio. Again, I'm going to try that radio here in a few minutes and then I'll post back.
BTW, after the reset (I tried a soft reset before a hard one) the issues came back. . Trying the new radio now.

After 7 months I am now happy :)

I have been tweaking and testing different programs, radios etc and I am now extremely happy with my TP performance. Thanks to everyone on the board that has helped on my quest for the ultimate device!
Matt

Hey Matt,
please post your tweaks and programs to help US out too!
thanks!

Do yourself a favor, and BACK UP everything on your phone, so if you have to hard reset, you won't have to spend another 7 months tweaking everything back the way you had it.
When I installed the "test rom", after 12 hours of getting it all the way I wanted, I screwed around with the TP2 TF3D and didn't like it, hard reset, then restored everything back the way it was in less than 1/2 hour.

Congrats, after 4 months, 4 custom roms, on 3 TP's im finally happy and bug free with everything i want (except the damn galarm/s2u2 bug).
What are you running?

Everything is backed up and clean
I am running
ROM 1.90.161.5 WWE
Radio 1.02.25.28
Advanced Config
S2U2
SPB Time
SKSchema which I have programed to check my email every hour. Stock client never worked. And also soft reset every night to keep it fresh
TomTom7
GPS Test
Resco File Explorer and Reg Edit
Torch Button
AEB Plus
I am running the GPS tweaks cab which deletes the GPS log and turns off agps. I get a lock on tomtom in about 10 secs stationary and 30 secs moving
Also turned off face down mute as it really annoyed me.
Data connection terminates after 30 secs of inactivity
I imported some smart touch reg keys so I can use the scroll wheel for phone, contacts, programs etc...
Applied all the power settings in advance config
a couple of other minor tweaks which dont affect performance but make it easier for me.
And thats about it.
Matt

I would suggest so many more apps, but i dont want to mess up the good thing you have going.
Id drop touch button and get Htorch.....for sure

What is the galarm/s2u2 bug you speak of? I use both and haven't experienced any issues...

Good for you! At least someone is happy with their TP.
I bought my in August last year and I was quite thrilled the first 2-3 weeks. But then it only got frustrating... I'm trying to avoid any custom ROMs and radios (I'm not too skilled in flashing + I'd like to keep the warranty) so I only experimented with tweaks and appls. Although in my opinion the device should work fine with the ROM provided by the manufacturer, eh?
Anyway, I'm so frustrated with this piece of c**p - I had to send it back for repair twice already. Now I'm actually hoping that two more faults will occur so I could claim my money back.
Just some of the issues I've been having since I bought it:
- TF3D freezes a couple of times a day
- ringer delay (even with the WM default dialer)
- emails are not coming in (even though I set the client to check them every 2 hours)
- GPS is a disaster! (100-200m lag, fix takes a long time even with QuickGPS and clear sky)
- sound occasionaly not working during alarms (making it very unreliable)
- generally very slow performance of the device (especially TF3D is laggy as hell)
- ActiveSync (with Outlook) stops working without any apparent reason (no changes were made neither on the computer nor on TP)
- and many many more...
I just wondered if your tweaks were able to fix some of those mentioned above? Although I have already decided to get rid of TP as soon as possible I can give it another chance...
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy your TP for a long time ;-)

Torch button does exactly what i want, turns on and off with one button press. Re-maped to my left softkey, Perfect.
I had loads of other apps but they were point;ess for me. I have everythig i need. I went through a stage of having loads of apps. But never used them. I prefer the minimal faster TP that works

Hi Ferus, with regards to TF3D, i ditched it, it wasd useless. I much prefer S2U2 and the default WM today screen
E-mails is where i had the most trouble. I use skschema to check my mail every hour. Works perfectly. I spent ages trying to find a fix. the script is #r(/windows/tmail.exe) #p(-service"youraccountname" -sync) just replace your account name with the exact name of your email account for example mine is "Yahoo!" Now this only works if the device is not locked using the built in locking as it brings the mail app to the foreground. works perfectly with s2u2 though.
Flashing my radio to the one above helped loads with GPS, also applying the gps tweaks cab really makes a difference.
Alarms was a problem i had with all my wm phones. This is now overcome using spb time. never had a missed alarm. sound also goes off if phone is silent
I dont have a problem with performance. I reccomend getting rid of TF3D.
I havent hadf any problems with Activ sync so cant help im afraid.

Ferrus,
Relating to the 'freezes several times a day', i used to get that, albiet, freezing once every 4 days when i received a text. After flashing to the latest HTC ROM (updated version) over a month ago, i haven't had a crash since.
M

ferus:
I know you said you didn't want to flash a different ROM, but if you can wait a little longer hopefully AT&T will release their update for us.
There is a leaked test ROM upgrade here that fixes TONS of bugs, greatly speeds up the device, AND make GPS better (fast fixes with working aGPS...if you have data). The lag is still there, but not as bad as it was in the beginning.
The new radio in that ROM is leaps and bounds better than the stock radio.
If you need any warranty work done, you'll probably have to flash back to the stock ROM...unless they release the final version of this test one before then.

I had similar experiences until I used cooked roms. If you want a good stable rom I would try Might Mike's, or Juicy's... I had similar issues to most of your and they were all solved with a fresh rom. TF3D is zippy and sweet and I have pretty much solved them.
As far as the GPS... that was solved by updating to the 1.11 sprint radio. I lock on in less than 20 secs every time now. Not sure that will work for the ATT. Not sure if ATT is CDMA. I am sure there are some ATT compatible ones that would also solve your issues.

Thanks for all the answers and tips The whole weekend I was struggling with my TP and finally I decided to go through with a ROM flash.
Someone suggested some ROMs already but I was wondering if you can recommend me a stable, quick and responsive (kind of a the-less-apps-the-better kind of ROM)?
I'm about to browse through the ROM forum but I'm afraid it contains TOO MUCH information. So I would appreciate any suggestions.
I use my TP as a normal PDA user (phone, email, internet, GPS, IM are the most used features).
Thanks in advance, I hope I can finally get a decent PDA ;-)

Hi.
Mind sharing how can I get the above cab?
