Since my SEARCH did not yield any result, here is a description of the problem my TC exhibits:
I use "Alice Hansenet" as a mobile provider (it actually uses the O2 network in Germany). When I install the SIM-card in another phone (Nokia 6210), it shows the network name as "Alice". But on the TC is hows the name as "AvzÖù".
I tried another card (E-Plus) and it shows up correctly on the TC. When I tried the SIMcard in my old TyTN, it worked fine.
The TC is fully functional with the SIMcard, only the displayed Network ID is screwed up.
I have spoken with Hansenet, O2 and HTC and everyone tells me that it's not their fault (HTC says they've tried a variety of cards and only display the network ID off the SIMcard, O2 says I need to talk to Hansenet, Hansenet says that they are not aware of any issue and that the card seems to work fine).
Since this TC works fine (it's a replacement because the first one had lousy reception), and because I have activated TomTom & maps, I do not want to install any cooked ROMs (quite yet ), just to see if that helps.
Has anyone else seen this type of issue ?
Are there any tips on what to try next ?
Regards,
Andreas
I think its TC ROM error - database of mobile providers is corrupted....
Phone reads from SIM network code - e.g. 23001 and from database reads 23001=T-mobile and write this value on display....

I just got a response back from HTC and they told me that they see this with ALICE cards in different units (MDAs, Cruise, TyTN2, Advantage). According to them it is "only a registry issue", but can't be changed unless you go back to WM5
Not sure I understand why this should be, but there you go ....
They also said that they would escalate this to Microsoft and Alice Hansenet if "more and more keep turning up" ... so basically, if a large enough group of users complain ...
I don't understand why the only solution is supposed to go back to WM5 ... this seems a ridiculous answer.

I know it's an old thread, but maybe this will help some others (which used Google to come here):

Hi,
I have been using Palm Treo 750v in Malaysia for few days now and have tried everyway to get DUN setup for my Bluetooth connection but i can't get it work.
My BT Software on notebook discover and setup the BT DUN for my Palm but once i say connect it sends the request to ph but then gave me an error of "Failed to Connect"
Am i missing something here? I have been using BT DUN for ages with other PPC5 phones and even with nokia and sonyericsson phones. This is the first time i have encountered this problem.
Any solution?
Hi,
had the same problem. add the following string in Modem --> Properties---> Advanced tab and it shud work. APN is access point name or network. let me
know how it goes.
+cgdcont=1,"IP","APN"
Thanks a lot man. This is great i did as u said and it works. But honestly i don't know how and why it works this time, cuz i have always put the string in the Modem settings, the only thing different was i never put "IP" inside but cuz still the string was working fine with my HTC Tytn and other phones so i never thought the problem could be with the string anyways.
Thanks a lot now it works
Hallo, same problem here.
However I followed your suggestion but it is still not working.
Problem seems to be that connection cannot be established (infact call to the provider is properly forwarded).
I tried with two different providers, Vodafone and Wind, but results are the same.
Any more tips to try, please?
Thanks

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.
If this has been covered before and is known to work then feel free to lock or delete the topic
Apologies if this is common knowledge but I spent an entire day on this on Wednesday without any joy but have just managed to crack it and get my phone talking to my TomTom via GPRS and thus re-enable all my TomTom plus stuff.
Okay, so the key here is application unlocking the phone.
Because the Vodafone v1415 is still pretty new in the UK (and therefore I guess uncommon) all the instructions I could find refer more explicitly to the HTC S710 and it has been a bit unclear exactly how much or how little Vodafone have monkey'd about with it before selling it on.
I've managed to establish that they've done quite a lot! And it's certainly appllication locked.
I just went through the thread about removing a lot of the branding but the bit that didn't work was the registry editing as I just got Acces Denied. After a quick search I followed the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280710
And got my phone un-application locked. I suspect this is not 'unlocked' as in how most UK people find their phones to be SIM locked (not Vodafone incidentally) which is why I continually make the distinction.
After then successfully editing my registry so as to change the appearance a little I then wandered if it would have any impact on what I was trying to do the other day about the BT DUN issue (or lackof).
'Lo and behold I reinstalled the cab file (WM6_BT_DUN.cab) that I had found in a thread on these very forums, rebooted the phone and bingo, the TomTom then connected (which it did before), the phone gave DUN as a capability (which it did not before) and everything proceeded as it used to with my Nokia 6230.
You'll need to search the forum to find the thread with that file since I can't remember where it came from but it was a hot topic so I really doubt it will be at all hard to find.
I'm chuffed since that was a real show stopper and I was going to return the phone and cancel the contract but now in one afternoon I've got rid of most of the crappy branding and resolved the last issue with it
So, big thumbs up again to these forums and to offically mark the WM6_BT_DUN.cab down as working with the Vodafone version of the Vox as long as you unlock it first as above.
So, now that I've finally covered all the setup of my phone I can get down to some of the developy type things that I bought it for in the first place (well, free on contract but hey!)
Oh, probably worth noting that I did all this on an iMac too (with a little help from VMWare here and there)
The CAB is available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1351044&postcount=21
DUN
...does anyone know if the Cab files has been ammended yet to deal with the issue of once a DUN call is made...it keeps the connection open until the phone is reset?
In this case, Activesync via GPRS does not work ( get a message about "cannot connect whilst a voice call is in progress) and I;m also worried about the cost of the DUN call charges?

Can anyone help with this.
I use activesync to connect to MS Exchange at work for MS Outlook email. I was looking to install the BT DUN workaround on my Vodafone v1415 so that I could access the TomTom Traffic service with my TomTom GO520. If I install BT DUN will it break my GPRS connection used to Sync with MSExchange at work.
Can yuo tell me which directory you need to copy the CAB files to on the phone?
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

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.

.... and now for the Diamond - same old problem....
Have tried all the known fixes - I think - anyone had any success with bbconnect on the new diamond? Sigh.....
Some time ago I wrote a thread at the Diamond section about a problem with my HTC Diamond, regarding the unusual waking up of the phone in random periods of time. This happens on a freshly installed ROM from the HTC, official one. Nobody could help me, so I switched back to my Touch Cruise, again after freshly installed ROM (no third party software installed) and the problem started apearing again. I came to the conclusion that the problem is somehow related to my SIM card. I guess there is some bug either in WM or in my mobile operator's network, regarding something with 3G or HSDPA. My opinion is that on random intervals my phone recieves some kind of a signal from the network or loses some kind of a signal, which makes it to wake up. I reached this opinion because there is a certain place on the road between my home and office, where the phone ALWAYS wakes up. I guess there is a weak spot in the network.
My question is: How can I find and read the system log of Windows Mobile 6.1 ? I am asking this because I am almost certain that there will be some kind of information or error message on the times of the wake, which will help me determin the problem.
try to use your phone in Airplane Mode.. if it happened again then it doesnt belong to your network
I Found the problem !!!
Finally after months of agony, I have found the source of my problem. It was my SIM Card ! The damn thing was broken. I found that this is the problem, because I was already given up on my Diamond and wanted to sell it. So i put my SIM Card in my older Touch Cruise. And as you guess, the Touch started to act the same way as the Diamond. I went to my operator, exchanged my SIM card with a new one and now everything works as a charm. I don't know really what was the problem, but I guess it was some Voltage issue or maybe the card just wasn't getting the right signals. The important thing is that now I get to keep my Diamond and enjoy it without the problems I had.
Thanks for the replies !
