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)

GPRS/EDGE problem

I have recently upgraded my k-jam to custom WM6 and have tried 2.19.11, 2.25.11, 2.47.11, 2.61.11 and 2.69.11 radio roms and the data G or E icon keeps going away and instead i see an x sign
with WM5 even if i had an x sign and i wanted to connect to internet the application used to connect without any problem but with WM6 it does not connect when x is displayed saying that data services not available so i have to then turn the phone function off and on to get it working.
i heavily use data services so its very frustrating going through the process again and again.
is there a tweak/hack available? what could be causing the problem?

hi..did you try gprsworksround cab file?also club imate released new patch for gprs edge problem.check the club imate support web site.good luck

When you were using wm5 was it stock or custom? If it was custom when you started having connectivity problem, try reflashing your official carrier rom andthe n reflash a cooked rom. You might just have had a bad flash.

What carrier are you with???? Have you loaded your settings correct ??? That are in "connections/connections" then in com manager , make sure your phone is "on" as when it is turned off, like in flight mode, you will get an "x" where it woud show "E" If all is well then I would return your phone in because you would have a hardware problem.

Hi,
I was faced with exactly the same weird gprs problem you described. That is, once booted, gprs works as expected. several hours later, G (or E) sign disappears and an x (no gprs service) appears at the top. After that, it is impossible to re-attach to the GPRS (the only way is to restart the radio or perform a soft-reset). I tried 3 different custom roms together with different radio roms. The tweaks didn't help me in any ways. I even tried 3.08 IPL/SPL without any success. Strangely, t-mobile wm5 rom and my original wm5 rom hadn't had any such problems.
Then I found NBD rom and it happily solved my problem (thanx zoki! for this great rom) I don't know what is wrong with other roms, but my problem simply went away!!
So, using NBD rom may solve your problem. It is great and the connection is successfully getting alive even x sign is displayed in my case (btw, same thing happened to one of my friends here and he then installed NBD, then gprs problem was solved successfully.)
Hope this helps.. All the best.

Treo 750 Bluetooth Password X2?

I have a Treo 750 and a Gtop G33 BT GPS. When I try to connect I can get to the password and if i put nothing in (Gtop says no password needed) and press next - it connects (light flashes slower) but Treo asks for Password again and this time it wont allow me to press next till I put a password in (next is grayed out.) I've tried 0000(Gtop says use 0000 if devise must have a password) and 1234 but as soon as I press next again GPS disconnects (light flashes fast again) and Treo says it is now connected.
I have been all over this sight for the past 2 days and have learned a lot, I even flashed my rom, OS-WM 6.1 WWE lite and radio1.54.07.00, but so far I still cant get this to work (bluetooth), perhaps I cant see the forest for the trees.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Jim

GPS CONNECz
Check to see if the treo proccessor speed 300Mhz is compatibalbe with the GPS RECR.
else i don't know I'm a novice

Me too- only with bluetooth headset
I had the same issue under WM5, but did found a way past it once and then of course it was irrelevant. That was months ago and now I can't figure out how I got past the problem. So I'd appreciate it if anyone could clue us in.
Thanks

I've managed to find a way past this
There appear to be multiple versions of WM6.1 around. I had the same problem until yesterday when I re-upgraded to a different version of WM6.1.
Not sure of the version (I'm in New Zealand, so using an Australian rom).
The version that doesn't work is easy to spot as there is no battery indicator and it uses the Microsoft Inbox for texting. The version that does work has the battery indicator and uses the Palm version of texting.
Once I'd got to this version, it no longer insisted on having a bluetooth password.
Cheers, Hope this helps.

HTC s640 Windows Mobile 6.1 Release Date?

Hi folks,
Does anyone have information RE: the release date for WinMo 6.1 for the HTC s640? The Touch got its update a few weeks back, can we expect the same?
Telus is promising an update for RevA capability, I assume this will come with 6.1.

Im interested to know as well, been waiting.. and waiting... and waiting and getting very tired. When will we enjoy the upgrage?

Pretty stupid we haven't seen an update for the S640 yet! Telus doesn't even have any 6.1 Smartphone Standard devices... something that I find awefully wierd considering their promotion of WM devices and smartphone in general. This is seriously stupid. Even the old crusty S620 has the WM6.1 upgrade kicking around for it!

ya, new update came out.
and it's a wm6 update.
lol
nice telus.

I just installed the update on my phone. GPS still doesn't work for me; a Telus rep told me it would be included in this update.
No WM6.1 and no GPS. I am very disappointed by this.

quick update... I was able to get GPS working on my s640 using the instructions/apps found in this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36639
When using the GetSPC app on your phone, enter your HEX ESN in the top input box, push the left key twice until you don't see a cursor, then click the middle button. There is an "invisible" go button that the s640 doesn't display in this app... it should generate your SPC in the lower box.
I'm able to use both Gmaps and Live Maps w/ GPS now.
Enjoy!

I can verify Tatusmi success with his GPS, I updated my s640 via HTC's website, and followed along the instructions from the link he provided and the SPC program (after figuring it out it was case sensitive).
Good work Tatusmi, a feature that should have always been active now works.

I got the above to work )for a telus s640(. (although I lost everything on my phone because my activesync was messed).
But the HTC update to 3.0 worked great. The GPS enabled instructions worked flawlessly. I got google maps to find 10+ gps signals and was able to find my location.
but, I can't get TOMTOM to work. Won't find the internal GPS
NAV4all just sucks.
I am working on Garmin mobile XT to try it out - but I keep getting stuck with it triing to find a bluetooth unit. And it doesn't give the option to choose internal or com port or nothing.
any ideas?

nevermind, I got garmin to work.
Just couldn't get it to work automatically with some card id or something.
had to open garmin. go to settings -> about -> and the cardid is listed there.
once that is good, everything shows up properly.

I can write WM6.1 rom for s640. My ICQ - 731889 - write to me.

strik3r, I don't use ICQ anymore... can't you post here or use PMs?
Glad I could help you guys with the GPS!

I dont know about anyone else , But id be more excited to see Android on this device then 6.1 .... dont get me wrong winmo is a good plat. But Android would be killer ..
Ive been doing a little research .. and the Htc Vogue has a android version running and you can fallow the few steps to get it running with haret . well kinda .
Anyway just curious to know if anyone else has had any luck with linux on this device or anyone willing to help getting linux running on this device .

I've received confirmation from telus that they're not going to upgrade the Iris's rom. apparently there were compatibility issues, but i don't buy it.
I think someone should do this themselves, much akin to what seems to have been done in the other forums to other phones aka the 620. I'd do it but I really have no idea where to start.

I also received confirmation from Telus that this phone would never see WinMo 6.1, nor would any of their other existing WinMo Standard devices.
The line they gave you about compatibility is bull though, I called HTC about it and they said there is absolutely no reason why this phone can't run 6.1, it has more than the minimum required hardware.
I'd love to see a cooked version of 6.1 for the phone, but I also don't know where to start. I also don't use ICQ anymore so I can't seek out striker's help. Andrioid would be neat too, I don't have any experience with it... but anything is better than tired ole WinMo 6.

Well what a pissoff. 6.1s so nice. Makes me angry I didn't get a touch

IT WORKS on TELUS S640 with GOOGLE MAPS!!!
Thanks for all the information , I could not locate the driver that was listed in c:\windows\system32\drivers so I found drivers that work. Awsome, thanks everyone. Just a side note to take the phone out of diagnostic mode just ##3424 then hit "send" (same as to put into diag mode).

Confirmation on S640 GPS
i just want to confirm, so the s640 tweak for the gps, worked for telus s640.
i just need to confirm that once this is done, i would be able to use google maps to get my location using the internal gps of the phone or how ?
cause right now i am using a bluetooth gps to get navigation on my winmo. with out having to do anything to the Registrer or any other tweaks.
can you please confirm

I am wondering if you could help me in getting garmin to work on my S640, as i too am having problems with TOMTOM and GARMIN ?

do you have the REVA update for your phone?
and what have you done so far to get gps to work?

Windows Mobile 6.0

The signature shown is incorrect. That was the earlier ROM giving me problems...

Hi Everyone,
I have been writing on this same topic over and over again. Following is my problem:
I bought HTC Prophet/O2 Neo and it works well with Windows Mobile 5. I wanted to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 and other higher versions. I can upgrade to WM 6 as well.
But following are the problems I face with WM6 and higher versions:
1) When I send a short message (SMS) to someone my phone works normally but if someone calls me the phone rings at their end but does not ring at my end. I switch off the phone (put it on standby) and then it works okay.
2) IF the phone loses the signal anywhere it just keeps on hunting for the signal. In the meantime it shows the green light blinking indicating it does have a signal. Now if in the meantime any one calls me up the phone again rings at their end but I do not get any incoming calls. I do not get any missed call alerts either.
I have reverted back to Jester's ROM in WM5.0 it is working fine again with the following problems:
1) The voice quality is not so great and calls regularly get dropped in areas where signal is not too strong
2) The contacts do not have options such as "File As"
3) When you want to dial and you put in the first few numbers for e.g. for dialling SAM you put in 726 it will display all entries related to 726. Though SAM is a part of these entries it should be the first entry as it is someone I call more often.
4) When you are playing music and put the phone on standby the music stops!
I request you to advise me on how should I upgrade to 6.0 or further in the best possible way or help me resolve the problems in WM5 with appropriate apps
Also one thing I wonder is what IPL/SPL/GSM should be there ideally for WM6.
Also FYI my friend has the same phone upgraded to WM 6.5 and it works perfectly for him. I put my SIM card in his phone and it worked fine as well.
Please help.

Vinit Badani.

-this might have to do with correct settings did you check your phone settings or if not did you hard reset after flashing a ROM whether is WM 5 or 6?
2) IF the phone loses the signal anywhere it just keeps on hunting for the signal. In the meantime it shows the green light blinking indicating it does have a signal. Now if in the meantime any one calls me up the phone again rings at their end but I do not get any incoming calls. I do not get any missed call alerts either.
-this doesnt happen to me maybe there is really a network problem or better yet check your phone settings again there might have been an appropriate setting for this situation
I have reverted back to Jester's ROM in WM5.0 it is working fine again with the following problems:
1) The voice quality is not so great and calls regularly get dropped in areas where signal is not too strong -that happens really if signal is not so strong better find a spot where in there is an appropriate signal
2) The contacts do not have options such as "File As" -this is ROM dependent i think... some ROM cookers incorporate these settings in their ROMS
3) When you want to dial and you put in the first few numbers for e.g. for dialling SAM you put in 726 it will display all entries related to 726. Though SAM is a part of these entries it should be the first entry as it is someone I call more often. -you have to live with it i guess since your using WM 5
4) When you are playing music and put the phone on standby the music stops!check your media player settings there is a setting that says play music even on standby mode
I request you to advise me on how should I upgrade to 6.0 or further in the best possible way or help me resolve the problems in WM5 with appropriate apps
Also one thing I wonder is what IPL/SPL/GSM should be there ideally for WM6.nope IPL doesnt matter SPL should be HardSPLed if your G3 you should have 2.G3.4PDA or G4 2.G4.4PDA (read more on how you will know if your device is G3 or G4 on Prophet WIKI THIS IS IMPORTANT BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROM GSM its only for getting phone signals etc etc and sometimes this matter when your battery drains so fast
Also FYI my friend has the same phone upgraded to WM 6.5 and it works perfectly for him. I put my SIM card in his phone and it worked fine as well.
Please help.
