yup Windows Mobile 6 pro is running on the i300 the (free upgrade from gigabyte)
http://www.gigabytecm.com/Turkey/WM6/
http://www.gigabytecm.com/turkey/WM6/download/GSmarti300_V2.02.04_ENG-Turkey.zip
so far so good
Working good the update?
No problems at al?
one thing i noticed of the bat was MS active sync program is slow.... i guess they have to fix it up, when its doing the sync its taking a lot longer, and if it doesnt work with outlook, i found the fix and this was for wm5 and wm6 is that in outlook if you download all your mail and then hit the sync button, in outlook it will then work with active sync, its a known issue i think with some older outlook ver :/
but ya right now with wm6 it lags a bit in the connection activation, i think as far as the speed its the same speed as before, its just annoying, i might try the active sync beta that is out
the os seems more responsive, i have yet to test the gps and wifi or IE
I can get working GPS
SiRFDemoPPC.zip dl that from the manu run it until u get signal if not, in settup switch to binary mode and do a col reset or reset manu settings then switch back to nmea, it can take a while, play around with it, i know that if i can get a lock with that program then i can get lock with others after i exit this one
oh the device on i300 is GSW3
Hi, just a few questions.....is the I300 as a phone any good?....is the call quality on both ends clear etc?.....and also the back speaker, is it loud?.....i am looking at getting this phone but i would like to know the above first if anyone can answer these questions for me......also does anyone know the correct gps settings to get tomtom 6 to work?.......thanks in advance!!!
Cheers

as far as quality i think its same as any other phone quality... no diff from my other phone, (moto v300) the speaker is a loud speaker ya you can play games or mp3s etc... and its loud enough IMO, but there is only so much volume and quality of something of that size, regardless of phone IMO unless a phone has stereo, but this and most phones is mono 1 speaker, the headset is stereo and BT can be stereo too
Thanks for the reply, what about tomtom 6?.....does it work with this phone and what are the ps settings to get a proper fix?.......thanks again in advance.
i havent tried tomtom6 but some ppl have i believe on this device, IMO should work just fine
http://www.gsmarena.com/gigabyte_g_smart_i300-1817.php
yeah i was just reading some reviews on it from the gsmarena website.....how are you finding the battery life though?......is battery life better with WM6 or WM5, any differences?....thanks
well i really want the 1300mah battery, but i havent been able to see one, maybe they will release one later, or some other third party will
wm6 i think might give better battery life but mostly on idle or low activity, if you run anything intensive then i dont think there is anything that will save your battery hehe the charging seems faster or it could be just me
and for the rest i think you have to get some nice tweaking util to really optimize any PPC, i for one havent bothered much... everything is installed on my miniSD card
i think since its a free upgrade its quite worth it, all the small changes to all the apps is big
i cant really say a whole lot for wm5 vs wm6 becaues i havent been using either one long enough, some other vets could have a diff opinion im sure
i think its sad that any PPC if you use anything like Wifi, GPS or if you had a TV it kills the battery life very quick... same for if you try to run something that takes up all the resources (cpu) it does about the same... i was playing the sega emu and it did drain battery life but not as bad as wifi, gps does, mp3 playback takes even less cpu, as far as movies i dont know but i think it would be a little more then mp3 depending what its encoded i think
but for movies i can use my cowon D2 PMP
btw my i300 came with 2x 900mah batteries i dont know about others but most ppl said so, those that they got from ebay
could anyone export the i300WM6 registry and post it here, please?
GPS icon in settings > connections
I have enabled GPS icon in settings > connections. Programs now can not use built in GPS. Could you please post the registry keys and values in the following location:
HKLM\Control Panel\Gps Settings\
Thanks.
How do I get the voicemail indicator to work on my Gigabyte i300? I am using ATT and it doesn't ever tell me about new voicemails nor waiting voicemails.

Sorry balikci, just saw your post today.
I did not upgrade my i300 (so, English WM5 firmware so far).
There is not such an entry (HKLM\Control panel\GPS Settings\) in my registry file!
GPS is not working with Wm6 firmware version?
GPS works perfectly fine in wm6, also the think outside ultra slim BT keyboard does work with this device you need 4.52 driver i think and disable the standard devices hid driver or so... its a check box when you run it for the first time, and then it works just right
I300 seems to have over exposure issue with the camera in wm5 and wm6, in very bright sunny area, after the first picture all pics are over exposed, if you close the app and start the first picture works perfectly but others that fallow do not... it must be a driver/software issue
could somebody help me with taking device into bootloader mode? i want to upgrade to WM6
in it's official website , it says you need to push Send End and power key , while the device is off.
first , what is send and end keys? green and red ones?
second , which one is power key? the suspend key or the soft reset hole key?
third , what does it mean by turning device off ? suspend it or turn it off completely , if so how?
and , is this ROM
http://www.gigabytecm.com/Eng/gbc_supportdetail.aspx?sid=26
WWE , i heard there are certain parts non english , which is okey , but if you know of any full WWE link , please let me know
cheers
king_dani, Send (green) is what you use to aswer a call, End (red) is what you press to end a call. Power key's the suspend key. Turning device off means turning it off compleatly, just hold the power key to turn the device off. The rom you gave the link to is WWE.

thnx alot man , so at least i know i'm pushing the right keys. well i tried these combination , in completely shut down device , still, it turns on and won't go into bootloader mode , for some yet unknown reason. plus , do you know if i should empty the whole card ? or can i use a partially loaded miniSD card? i mean , would it work if there are other files on it , and also , should they files be on root folder?
cheers
try another combination: turn the device on, hold Send and End keys, do a soft reset (don't release send and end buttons!), wait for Image Utility. All files from a downloaded archive should be placed in a root folder (/Storage card). It's Ok if there're files on a card.
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.
Hi all wondering if anyone can shed some light on this one:
i recently bought a htc kaiser (yay) and its great! but i cant get wifi and bluetooth to work simultaneously in any way shape or form - every time i connect the wifi, the bluetooth connections will die - so far ive tested it with multiple devices and its a consistent problem
i even sent the unit back for a replacement but they tested it and said it was fine (i don't believe them cause i tried every which way to get it working) either way ive got the unit back now and i still cant get both to work at the same time - ARGH!!
if i cant get the bastard to work in the next week or so im going to return the unit as its inside the 28 day period - i just wanna be able to stream music from the net over wifi and listen to it using my a2dp headset
anyone have any guru zen insight on this one they feel like sharing?
cheers
fusi
must be a kaiser or rom thing cause i do it all the time at home with the hermes (go hermes go!!!)
have the wifi running fine with AD2P via motorola Ht820s
My Kaiser does both WiFi & BT with no issues. The only thing I can suggest is tinkering with your WiFi access point settings (change the channel, encryption, etc.) -- in particular, channel changes may do the trick, as both BT & 802.11b use the 2.4 GHz band.
thanks for the replies guys i swear im going loopy with this thing - what wifi channels can you confirm it works on for you?
well ive tried every permutation. it doesnt work - supergps are talking out of their arse when they claim they got it working. im really sick and tired of bull**** companies. dont buy from supergps - they might be cheap but you get what you pay for.
Why don't you try asking supergps what they did to get it working and how they have their wifi configured? Sounds to me like it's something in your setup that's causing it if they confirm the device works.
i did
they claim they connected up a lenovo laptop and a sony phone and it 'just worked'
i tried it with the exact same make model etc of kit (and a whole host of other devices (must be about 30+ different devices now)) and it consistently fails
i cant see how they got it working - unless they were testing a different unit or they didn't understand what the fault was - even though i explained the fault in precise detail in about 5 different ways to them over the duration of the day they were testing it
i reckon they just dont wanna deal with the hassle of getting a duff device back
p.s. this is with factory defaults - no customisations or anything (though ive also tried with every permutation of configuration i could conceive) - it just doesnt work
Hi,
HTC has released a new ROM for the Fuze.
Among other things, it contains an "A-GPS Update: Speeds up the time it takes the GPS to get a fix on your location", and "Quick GPS is still recommended for the optimal operation of GPS based applications and services".
Does anyone know whether it's feasible to implement only this part of the ROM in a Tilt?
My GPS reception is variable (using the internal GPS), no matter which ROM or radio I use (some are better, my current combination works best for me). The only way I obtai an extremely fast GPS fix is by using an external BT GPS (I purchased an GlobalTop G66 Plus, and I now obtain a fix within 10-15 seconds).
I have AGPS turned OFF because it doesn't work with IGO8 (had no problems at all with AGPS and IGO6).
I've tried every solution in the book and have carefully read all related threads here. None have worked for me.
So my question *only* refers to the suitability of implementing that portion of the Fuze new ROM.
Thanks.
I would think that you would be restricted by the hardware of the phone and not the software
Well, if you're referring to the incompatibility of IGO8 and AGPS, it's a given.
After searching for hours and hours for a way to disable voice dialing + dial last number function from my Bluetooth headset, i've decided to code my own solution, in a form of AT commands audio gateway extension. Since others may find this useful as well, i am packing it in a cab and posting it here.
All it does is putting a small audio gateway extension replacement DLL (just 4kbytes) in windows directory and changes the MS audio gateway extension settings in registry to use this replacement DLL. All the DLL does is responding with "ERROR" on the voice dial and last number dial commands from the headphone, that it. This does the trick.
To install: install the cab, reset the device
To uninstall: remove using the system control panel, reset the device
As simple as that. No guaranties. It replaces a system DLL functionality after all, don't blame me if renders your device unbootable, unusable, blows it up or even kills you... well, you know the drill, use it on your own risk. I'll be happy if someone else finds this useful.
it is embarrassing when you don't know about calling somebody
I appreciate your perfect solution
installed in kaiser with WM 6.5 OS and nokia BH-102
I tried many things and it is working perfectly
thanks
Thanks worked perfect for my wired headphones with a faulty call button.
Wired headphones?! Are you sure? Cause i would really doubt any wired headphones would allow AT commands audio gateway extension, or, in fact, communicate using AT commands.
But, if it really works... if the system actually simulates those commands and passes those through the extension... maybe i'll finally make my wired remote work with something other than the damn AudioManager program.
I am too lazy to go to my car right now (thats where the wired remote currently is), but tomorrow i am totally going to see if this really blocks the call button on that wired remote. If it does, i am going to see if the other buttons also pass through the extension, and, well, you know whats next. But i really really doubt it, its probably just a coincidence or something.
Thanks for the info.
Yes wired headphones? mine are just cheap hands free ones off ebay but pressing the button does nothing now,which is great it use to dial my last number sometimes without pressing it too.
I tried it on HD2 (Leo) but it is not working
is there any way to let it works on it
thanks in advance
I found the BT audio gateway service not loading the dll on startup on some of the devices. Try installing SK tools, go to services menu, stop the BT Audio Gateway service and then start it again, while having my cab installed. If it suddenly works and blocks the dial button after the service restart, then there may be a 'solution', as simple as making a little app that restarts the service after the device is fully loaded. Not a perfect solution, but well, if it works, then why not.
BTW, can someone point me to the right direction on how to restart WM services programatically ? What API does this ?
thanks for quick response
I tried what you said. I used Task Manager v2.9 the BT Audio Gateway already stopped and I could not start it
it says the system cannot open the device or file specified.
I have replaced the dll file manually and still
when I clicked "find in registry" it is located in HKLM/Services/BTAGSVC
BTAGSVC.dll
Replaced the DLL manually ? The BTAGSVC one ? With mine ?!?! Don't !!!
Read my post again to understand how the trick works. My DLL is by no means not a BTAGSVC replacement. What i means in my last post is that for some reason, when BTAGSVC initially loads, at the device start, it won't load the AT extension DLL (my one). I would assume this may happen because the file system is not mounted yet, or some similar reason, i don't know. And the reason i told you to try restarting the BTAGSVC is to try & see if it helps to start the service when the device is fully loaded.
Again, do not replace the BTAGSVC with my DLL, you can lose the BT audio functionality this way.
no I did not replace BTAGSVC with yours (BTAWGS)
I tried exactly what you have said. I was saying that service belongs to this file as stated in registry.
you told me te restart the service and I told the service is already stopped plus I could not start it for that error
recently I could not find BTAWGS dll file in windows folder
my question: this dll file (BTAWGS) does it exist in the original rom and your cab replace it?
regards
from my readings in this great forum
I think the bluetooth stack especially in hd2 is different than other htc devices and it is has different driver
it is WIDCOMM driver, is that true?
if so that means your file isn't gonna work
If the device is using non-MS Bluetooth stack - there is a near-100% chance my trick is not going to work, sorry.
thanks for the direction
but if I want to edit the dll file
what is the best program to do so
and what is the values that I have to change
can you tell me what you have changed in your dll file
Just in case anyone is still interested, i've now got an HD2 and found a way to disable the bluetooth dial on it. It's a bit nasty/hackish, though. Do the following:
1) Copy the "BTTrayCE.exe" from the device to your PC using any available method.
2) Open the "BTTrayCE.exe" with any available hexeditor
3) Look for "+BLDN" and "+BVRA", replace them with something like "xxxxx"
4) Replace the file in Windows directory with the patched file using any available means.
NOTES: The "BLDN" stands for "Bluetooth - Last Dialed Number", "BVRA" stands for "Bluetooth Voice Recognition Activation", those are, in fact, the AT commands your bluetooth headset sends to the phone when you push that nasty button by mistake.
