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...

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.
Hi there,
I am having some very annoying problems with my phone and getting it to connect to the internet. I have the Orange branded SPV E650 and have flashed it with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 beta rom. Strangely (as with other roms aswell so Im not saying its a problem with them rom!) I cannot access the internet on it. I have tried going to the Orange website and getting the GPRS connection settings sent and they saved fine and I can see them but IE still wont connect with the following error: "Failed to connect to the internet. Data coverage may be unavailable". So after those settings didn't work I deleted them and tried using the Connection Setup application which retrieved settings based on my Orange network provider and being based in UK. That also inputs settings on to my phone but also IE still fails to connect. By doing it that way it sets up a proxy in connections but unsure if that helps, as whether i keep it and try to connect or delete it I still can't connect! I have signal so thats not the problem and also Orange say everythings ok at their end. Also in comms manager with the Data connections I cannot turn it on, a "G" icon on the signal icon in task bar flashes on and off, toggles between them like its trying to connect but does nothing eventually.
Im really stuck and tried different roms but experience the same!
Any ideas guys? Would love to receive some of the great knowledge found here!
Many thanks!
Craig

when i too faced the same problem, i tried this... u can also try, it might work for you too.
in the internet explorer, goto tools, options select connect to internet, instead of auto!
Hi guys,
I had the same problem with my SPV E650 ( aka HTC VOX ) . The problem is related to the WIFI adapter who keeps its IP number although not in use. You have to release manually the IP , or , better , go to : Start , Settings, Connections , select GPRS but do not click on it ! , ratter go menu ( bottom right ) , Advanced ( the only option ) , and there on Internet connection go to Orange Internet instead of Automatic, and voila ! ( or at least for me it worked fine ! )
Liciniu
P.S. please keep me posted. Thanks ,
Hi all,
I have the exact same problem. The phone, SPV E650 (HTC S710), orange branded, reflashed to WM6.5, tried more versions, but i can't get it to connect to the internet. No one found any solutions?
I have the same problem but even with the wifi, is
Explorer from MSN as I fix that?
Mine is a S710
ok, I found the solution in my case. the operator had to start the internet service for my number. weirdly, I had it activated some time ago...
hi guys, i no longe have a vox, now got a Touch Pro 2 (and loving it!) but the problem was that despite my request for internet with my service provider, they hadn't actually activated it, so all my attempts to solve a 'problem with my phone' were pointless lol. good luck guys!
I've exchanged my Vox to TP2 too. which Rom do you use on it?

I use The Cell Series V6 (eagerly awaiting V7 soon to be released!). It is perfect for me, it is fast and responsive, no problems with any feature like bluetooth/wifi not working and it has far better graphics than any other rom I have tried. If you haven't tried it i would suggest you do!
How about u?
Win Mob 6.5
I suggest an upgrade to winmo 6.5. It’s a great OS and works brilliantly on the Touch 2 Pro. The Honeycomb menu makes browsing so convenient. The windows Market Place is packed with Many applications that will interest you!
Hi.
I just hard reseted my HD2 to get rid of whatever might have come since I've been installing tons of stuff just playing around.
However, yesterday I activated WiFi N for the first time.
I notice that skyfire runs blazing fast, and everything else works great.
Opera on the other hand only works when I press one of the favorite thumbnails in the "Internet-tab". On the page that has been loaded I can do anything I wish, clicking links etc. IF I however enter another adress or do a google search I just get the error page where it says I should check my internet connection.
If I go back to skyfire and try any adress it works great, as well as any other program that uses the net. The only problem is when one is inside opera and wants to go to a new adress. It somehow thinks that you do not have any internet connection.
I tried disabling WiFi N and opera worked better then.
As soon as I turn of WiFi and go 3G-surfing opera works great.
I'm glad you resolved your problem but my diamond has no issues with the draft N tweak and Opera.

or use opera 10 beta 2 instead..
I've never seen this issue, but the stock opera does have problems working out whether you've changed from wifi to 3g and back anyway

Well it's not really resolved since I prefer to have WiFi N activated.

I see, maybe I should go for opera 10 then.
Skyfire works great, flash and all, besides it's soooo much faster than opera.
The downside is that it doesn't support multitouch, it doesn't auto-allign text and the quality overall, even the text is blurry when one zooms in.
If skyfire could fix this I would go for skyfire all times above opera, even though I'm big fan of opera and always use it on my PC.
UPDATE
I switched WiFi N off and played around.
It seems that opera works more frequently now, but still randomly on the WiFi.
I mostlye get the connection error (8 out of 10 times) and other times it just works.
It seems that if I turn the WiFi on and go to opera direct, it won't work. If I start skyfire, then go to opera, it will work for a couple of minutes (sometimes).
I want to remark that Skyfire works at all times, at every single try.
What's going on here? :S
I have wifi n activated on my hd2 and have the same issue you have. There is one major difference though. In my case the error messages are pretty random - say once every 30 to 40 attempts. Currently I can live with that but off course it would help to get the issue out of the way...
Sorry couldn't be much help.

Weird, after a freshly activated connection I can open opera ONCE and it works fine. If I close opera, and open it a second time it won't work..

Opera supports flash too. You just need to activate the Flash libraries:

well, since opera 10 doesn't solve anything, and doesn't support multitouch, it doesn't appeal to me.
I'm gonna try a new ROM soon to see if it helps to solve my original problem.
Just wondering if anybody has come across this issue before.
I'm using the HD2 (standard ROM) on T Mobile UK.
When out and about, even on a slow connection (showing [G]) I can use Opera, MSN or the Marketplace with no problems. However HTC Peep (the built in Tweet application) will never update. It always gives the message "The network is temporary not available. Retry?"
I get this even when i have [3g] or [H] showing.
The only time it works is if i'm connected via WiFi at home.
I've checked the settings and they all seem ok, but still no luck now for quite awhile.
Is this something I can fix, or should I start looking for a 3rd party Twitter app to replace it? If i do this, will it integrate in the same manner with the rest of the Sense UI and Notification sounds?
Thanks in advance
Does your internet connection use proxy?
Go check in your all settings - connections - connections - set up my proxy server and be sure the second option is not checked, then click ok and SOFT RESET your phone.
I had this problem in my TD2 and this is how I used to deal with it. I'm on vodafone live, wich used to use proxy, but now it supports connection without the proxy settings on my phone. Check if yours work.
And no, other twitter programs (from wich I recommend moTweets and Twikini) will integrate in the same manner as the twitter tab in sense.
Good luck.

I had that exact same problem with my Sim Free HD2 from e2save.com for use with my T-Mobile contract. e2save were no good, T-mobile were even more useless. One call to HTC and they sent me through the internet settings my SMS and fixed the problem instantly!
Give it a go, their number is: +44 8458900079
word of warning: From my experience, there is only one member of staff who is any good there! A chap called Nick I think. He's the one they all go to and he's the one that sorted it out when everyone else was blaming other people.
Tried messing with the proxy settings as suggested, but still no luck.
I'll give HTC a ring when I finish work and see what they say, thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated!
Hey I also have this problem with my tmobile phone, peep doesnt work, facebook doesnt work and neither does msn, I think its all to do with tmobiles lame proxies
Ill follow this thread in hope of finding a solution!

Try what I have posted above - it works! I had the same problem. No 3rd party apps worked, email didn't sync, etc, but web browsing did work. HTC will send you the correct settings. Fixes problem in 10 seconds!
yeah any issue with connecting with tmobile is usually down to proxies
No luck getting through to HTC yet, rang them at 17:40 but no answer, rang back and now in a queue
Times on the website state:
+44 8458900079 Mon - Fri 09:00- 18:00 (Mon - Fri) 09:00- 13:00 (Sat)
So looks like they've gone early, will try again in the morning and let you know if it works!

Do a search of my old posts. I fixed this by updating the connection database, then disablimg the proxy.
