WM5 - Slow Changing of Input Methods?

I upgraded my phone from an iPaq 6300 running WM2003 to an XDA Atom Exec running WM5. I am happy with the upgrade except for a few things, one of which is the sluggishness in changing the Input Method.
On my old Ipaq there was an arrow tab letting you instantly click on it and switch between Transcriber, Letter Rec, Block Rec, or keyboard. Here on the Atom you click on the input method icon, the tab appears, then you click on it THEN it takes forever for the menu to come up to select the changes.
Is something amiss here? Or is this really how slow WM5 changes input methods?

Bump? To the Top.

Funny.. I just added this to the prophet wiki... this solved the same issue on my prophet. Maybe it'll help for you:

A hard reset solved this problem for me... Of course, make sure you've backed up all you need before doing so

iPaq 6300 and wm5

Bandswitch V2.4.3 for HTC Polaris

Hi.
After some changes It seems the new version of bandswitch is compatible with HTC Polaris. Bandswitch is used to swith from 2g and 3g quickly with only one click, enabling to save bettery keeping in 2g and using 3g when needed.
Dani

Thank you, provides very good this application

thank you guy , it seem it work very good on my cruise !

Nice
I couldnt test it on this device because I dont own one but It seems the system to change the band is the same than kaiser, instead of Hermes....So I ve modified it to behave like if It detects the device is kaiser...
Dani

i got a problem, when people try to reach me they automatically get my voice mail (in normal phone settings) i also have problems calling myself (stops a few times and then after trying again suddenly connects). same with messages long delays in receiving and sending...
after setting the band to GSM they can reach me but i have the idea that i cant use 3g????
is there a problem with the phones function t switch between 2g and 3g and do i need this app (bandswitch) for it or is there something with my phone or my opperator-settings?

Hi.
It is operator issues. I have same problem here in Spain with Vodafone. But this problem doesnt happen with Movistar. Being in 2g, if gprs is connected AND there is data flow in that moment then if someone call me it appears as phone turned off. Some friends of mine are telecomunication eng. in vodafone and says Its the sw version of the system, but not related with the pda or its configuration.
Greetings
Dani

ok, thnx
sw version of the system? (do u mean software..)
but is there something my operator can do so it works or must i keep on switching myself in my phone settings?
or do u suggest to use bandswitch?

yes,software.
HTC roms allows to change the band but the process is slows(many clicks). Because of this bandswitch was borned. In fact if you see the first post (in hermes forum) I was searching for a today plugin to switch quickly the band. I didnt find any and I developed this tool. Other operator rom doesnt provide a way to switch the band. Why? I suppose 3G generates more data traffic and more meney for telcos so they fix their devices to 2G. SO you have to use other tools (like bandswitch or commmgrpro) to change the band.
Greetings
Dani

Hello Daniel,
Should V2.5 work with a Cruise that uses the Murata radio?

I dont know that ROM. Today will be out V2.6 beta. In this version I ve changed the way to manage connections because some devices (htc touch, samsung i780) doesnt implement correctly some RAS functions so I hope management connections works for these devices too..

Testers for bandswitch v2.6
Its a beta.
Connection management didnt work correctly on this device because a known problem in some RAS API functions didnt implemented.
http://www.commmgrpro.com/CommMgrPro/files/BandSwitch.V2.6.cab
Changes:
1) Connections management(Stablish, close) has been replaced with IpHelper API so It should work with HTC Touch, Samsung i780 and others. Can you test it?. It would be nice if It was tested with currently working devices (tynt, hermes, ....) and not working devices (touch).
2) Keyboard appears automatically on license and text controls.
3) Unsintall process backed up registry settings to other registry place. It was causing in some devices error uninstalling. It has been solved. When you install old version It can cause error but continues with the installing process.
Greetings.
DAni
pd. Testers will have free license, of course

Testing? Yes!
Hey Dani!
I`ve just downloaded the cab and test it now.
How could I give my feedback?

another Buttonbug?
Hey Daniel!
I turned off the Speaker for 30 Minutes with the switcher. After that the speakerbutton shows "Speaker off".
And after a softreset the UMTS GSM Buttons show automatic, but i switched to GSM permanently.
So far

When bs is shown the auto button is always focused because Its the first one but it doesnt mean the device is in auto mode. Look at the tray icon. g means gprs. a means auto, etc. I will take a look again to the speaker
Thanks!!

Touch Cruise rom udK R1:
I can't install it, keeps asking me for a serial number.

Once any version of bandswitch you ve 15 days to use it. The countdown doesnt stop even if you install other version. I will do a separate system for betas that doesnt watch if there was any other version installed some time...

2.6.1 works fine
Hey Daniel!
I just installed your new version and it works fine, the button behavior is fixed and i found no errors whit switching 2G/3G, speaker WiFi or BT.
All fine so far, but the beta expires in three days...

2) use advanced config tool found in this forum to disable your data connections
3) Use secondtoday (google search it) which allwos you to run a second today screen. Manilla (touchflo) does not support any other today add on.

My Treo 750v WM 6.1 won't receive file via bluetooth or IrDa

Dear All,
I love my Treo 750v, but since I upgraded to WM 6.1, it won't receive any file via bluetooth or IrDa. However sending file is ok. I already tried some registry tweak by changing IsEnabled in Obexservice from "0" to "1", but nothing happened. Please advice what should I do then..

OK this might be why:
Go to Settings > Connections > Beam
Check the box to receive all incoming beams.
Hopefully that'll do it.

Thanks a lot

Thank you very so much. I changed the housing and thought I had broken something inside since the bluetooth wouldn't work.
Thanks again, I wanted to reply because the other user didn't say if it worked for him or not.

[UPD] Samsung Jack SGH-i637 - WM 6.5 ROM Upgrade is out

Available here: http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=558&AT_ID=177858
Saw it mentioned here: http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=samsung&thread.id=76446
Crazy week at work means I won't be able to flash my phone any time soon (I forward work to it). But I'm curious of a few things when someone does flash their phone.
If you use any of the following apps, do they still work?
- CHome Weather 1.2 (NRG MiniWeather)
- CHome Configurator
- Tasks Panel
The same app unlock method is reported to work, that's good news.

Help, I upgarde my phone to WM6.5, but my original OS was in Spanish and was from Telcel company (Mexico).
It Change the layoout of my keys, my applications, etc.
How can I remove ATT content and remap my keys layout to spanish?

I did the upgrade. Not much to get excited about. It doesn't bring much along with it at this time, except for maybe some bug fixes.
CHome Configurator works... sort of. There is a minor glitch in mine in that it hides one of the collapsed panels, but shows it when it is the main panel. Its kind of weird, as it is just a blank space placeholder in that one slot. Its like the panels are overlapping or something, maybe. And it seems to slow the phone down, as well. Like its thinking about something, constantly.
I'm trying to figure out how to get Titanium like the non-touch HTC guys have. That actually looks better, I think. (If anyone has a link, let me know?)

I Just flashed mine, will try to udate on what I notice besides the new orange startup/shutdown windows logo and a beep.

So far what I have observed (will update as I come across them):
_________________________
1. Seem to be running slow even after formatting and rebooting.
2. Contacts now display their pic while browsing in the contact view. pretty cool
3. Phone will remember the last contact highlighted unless you quit the program in task mgr.
4. Can now create groups using contacts.
5. Can't *SMS* or MMS to more than 10 contacts at a time, even while using PowerSMS. WTF?! Hopefully I put in a weird setting somewhere, anyone know how to bypass that limit for SMS?

nice find! I am now incented to get pictures of all my contacts...

The sending SMS 10 contact limit (even with PowerSMS which worked on 6.1) is killing me!!! I browsed the registry and didn't see anything obvious. This blows!!!!!!!!!

As far as I know you cannot delete those settings but you can disable with the modaco nodata program, then load the settings for Telcel and works fine.

The best way that I have found to unlock the GPRS is by finding UAMgr.exe in the windows directory, create a shortcut to it in My Documents and click it to run it. Choose menu, tools, then choose unlock gprs. you should now be able to change the settings and also add connections.
Hope this helps.

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know what happens to the i637 Jack after WM 6.5 upgrade in regards to being locked to AT&T?
I bought the phone in the US, convinced AT&T to unlock it for me and I am now using it overseas with the local Wireless Phone Provider. Will the phone remain unlocked or will it lock back to AT&T after this upgrade from WM 6.1 to WM 6.5?
Thanks

SIM unlocking stays across ROM updates.

Question!
What happen if during upgrade your phone disconnects and not turn on? Do invalid warranty? Is there a way to repair it?

*.bin files ??

Do you mean that I will need to call AT&T after I upgrade to WM6.5 and ask them to unlock the phone again to be able to use other SIM cards in it?
I guess I just don't understand how the provider can "lock" the phone so no other SIMs can be used on it.

once unlocked, it stays unlocked after flashing a new ROM. There is no need to get ATT to do it again.

Anyone figure out the 10 contact limit for sending SMS on WM 6.5 for the Jack yet?

I upgraded my i637 to WM 6.5 this weekend. All is good except for the annoying delay on the home screen when the phone goes to sleep.
When you press the power button to wake the phone up it takes a good 2 seconds before the clock is shown. That did not happen under WM 6.1
I saw a fix for the WM6.5 Lockscreen Delay http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527219 but it did not do anything for the screen wakup delay on the Jack. Any ideas or suggestions would be very helpful.

I've noticed the same thing. Lame.
Also, the Home Screen is displaying the wrong softkey menu items (messaging Reply/Menu instead of Start/Contacts) periodically for no reason. Annoying. The only perceived benefit from the 6.5 update appears to be battery life, from everybody's feedback. It certainly isn't a better OS.
