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)
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.
I was wondering if anyone has got the Blackberry client working on a Treo 750v running WM6?

The BB connect don't work with WM6 actually...
from Palm : Do not Install this update if you are using Blackberry Connect (BBC). Palm Windows Mobile 6 does not support the BBC service...
this is a BB connect CAB...made by HTC
it's basically made for AT&T tilt (8925) = Kaiser
I guess it'll work with any WM6 pro device...
http://www.america.htc.com/connect/8925/
http://www.america.htc.com/mobile/co...e/default.html
installation CAB

thanks to duke911
or download cab file to your pc:

edit: thanks for the correction!
Corrected BB Connect URL...

Tried this and it won't work for me.
Has anyone actually got this working on a Treo750?
It gets an IP for about a second but then it drops it.
Same here w/ 750c. Gets an IP address for a few seconds and drops to no connection. BTW I am using BBC 4.0.0.90, you can find it on sems.org. I wonder if anyone w/ the Voda or the Aussie ROM would give a shot to this BBC version to see if it makes any difference.
Thanks,
HC
I guess it's the same problem as elsewhere, where you need to change the machine type in window.nb (I think). Only problem is I can't find an easy explanation of how to do this.
I was trying BBC 4.0.0.90 with Voda ROM and no luck.
Strange thing today on my 750c - Got PIN
Hi all,
It seems that something is changing w/ either RIM or ATT. I installed again today BBC 4.0.0.90 onto my 750c w/ WM6 ATT leaked ROM, after the normal reboot, surprisingly, BBC service connected to the network and I got a PIN. Clearly it said "Connected" on the status tab. Well, I connected the device to my laptop and ran the BBC Desktop, the system was provisioned properly (I think ...), Notes Backend, but now it fails to connect to Blackberry, same symptoms as before, even after multiple soft resets, see comments above. I'll play around some more w/ it and let you all know if I get anything to work. In the mean while, if anyone else has any success, please share ....
Good luck
HC
I have WM 6.1 installed using BB Connect 4.0.0.97 and its a no go. Oddly enough, I tried the same thing on an earlier Vodaphone WM5 ROM and it still didn't work...any suggestions?
Btw, I get the same issues as above, I have a PIN listed (and IP address for a short time if I Suspend and Resume) but then when I attempt to input the PIN into my online BIS account and switch devices is says the information can't be verified.
Interesting development here... Since upgrading to WM6, I'm not able to access any pages using IE over my AT&T connections. I'm able to access pages using IE through my wireless network just fine. I've also had this problem with AKU 3.3 as well. This did not start until two or three weeks ago. I've made no major changes to either ROM. The AKU 3.3 ROM I was using was absolutely flawless for several weeks, and even activated the stock extended ROM. Using AKU 2.2, there isn't a problem in the world. I'm wondering if this isn't something on AT&T's end.
I may have found a possible issue using G'reloc when cooking some ROM's. Further research is needed.
Well, it seems like it's still not working even when cooked without G'Reloc.
This is driving me nuts, because I'm not sure if it needs a cab or what.
Can anyone help here?
Try switing to another ROM to diagnosis...
I had this same problem but decided to bounce to another ROM. I went with TNT and it is now working again. I have an AT&T Blue SIM card. I can't find the reference now, but someone else was experiencing the same exact problem with IE and the blue SIM card. Hope this helps.

Did you change location of cache or temp files? I think it happened to me one time, and i go the file location messed up...(dont remember for sure)
outlook not working
im att also, just upgraded to tnt pro the 1622 version or whatnot. pie works great for me but my outlook gmail accounts aren't working. anytime I send or receive I get an error syncronizing message at the bottom of the screen. oddly 1 day last week my email DID come in. why? I dunno. I get my att internet settings from a mfrazzz cingular settings cab. I've tried changin the network used from medianet to my isp, as I think that helped using mobile 5. but I still get the same error message, this is the only device I have and I need my email. any help would be greatly appreciated. oh yeh I just moved too if that makes a difference, the edge service is spottier but its still an edge connection not the slower one.
does your ROM include the networkwizard? If not, do AT&T not use a proxy via the GPRS?
No, it does not contain network wizard. I'd like to know who is running a 15342 based ROM that is also accessing the Cingular/AT&T network, and if they are having issues.
it works fine for me, no problem for my cooked ROM!

Through AT&T?
Works fine for me
I am running XDA Mobile 6 rev 3 and IE is working fine through ATT.
I just found an issue with Agile Messenger 7.4 on 3 different WM6.1 ROMs. I also had someone else verify that it was happening and not just an issue with my phone (Thanks mcmexican). This was tested with DCS 1.7 along with uttys_Official_WM6.1_Rom_5.2.1971, and XTRM-X1.0. Agile can be downloaded here. http://agilemobile.com/wm.html and has a 7 day trial if anyone wants to test it out.
I'm able to get Agile Messenger to work fine with the February ROM from AT&T, but so far it doesn't appear to work with the WM6.1 ROMs on the Kaiser platform. When attempting to connect Agile Messenger tries to initiate a new GPRS/3G dial out, even if you are already connected with an active data session. This tries and then fails several times before you receive the standard message that a GPRS/3G connection could not be established. The indicator at the top of the screen shows 3G or H and you can still browse the web or send email.
Agile Messenger 7.4 was working fine on a Hermes with the Stock AT&T and various other ROMs (WM6 and WM 6.1) from XDA. I've tried it without upgrading the radio using the standard AT&T radio and also using the three 6.1 compatible radios with the same result. I'm willing to bet that it's something odd with WM 6.1 on the Kaiser since it works fine on a Wizard and a Hermes. Can anyone do some troubleshooting?
try slueth's or dk's 3.02 based rom..
DK 3.02 works fine with Agile Messenger. Thanks for the suggestion. I wonder what is causing the problem with the other ROMs.
did you use the auto "connection settup"? or did u enter your settings manually? that little program showed to be problematic for some people including me, so I entered mine manually. I'm running dcs 1.7
Works for me on every ROM i tested out so far.
Is it not a radio problem....
Using (payed) version 7.4

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked my connection settings and the Network Wizard set my Access Point Name to isp.cingular. I changed it to wap.cingular, which is what the stock AT&T ROM set it as and I now have Agile Messenger working on the Mobile Vista 1.1 ROM.
i had the same problem, and the connection wizard setup the proxy on the internet connections, once i went in and unchecked that box it worked just fine for me.
