Where's the love?

After searching around here for a couple of hours I have one question: how much of this generic looking upgrade stuff applies to the Apache?
I have a PPC6700 with the Sprint AKU2 update, 2.06 with 1.12 radio. I want to get everything as current as possible.
How do I go about adapting the Telus, Alltel, etc. roms for the Apache to install on the Sprint Apache?

newest ROM available here.
this is for sprint.
couple of specs....
• SD performs PRL match by matching only SID/NID and Mode for acquired signal/system.
• PRL roaming bug fix.
• DDTM turned off allowing voice call through when in a data session.
• Push-mail, voice call fix. The voice call is rejected when CE application attempted outgoing data packets. However, a 2nd voice call attempt would go through.
• Wireless Data Roaming - Support of data roaming on device
• Voice call termination will not drop tethered data session.
• Conference calling from Contacts fix.
• Intellisync lock-up fix.
• Radio Version 1.27

to use the telecom rom on your sprint phone and get aku 2.2 see this thread here.

I would love to get into the AKU 3.x series of CE Rom images, but everytime i flash any 3.x AKU i get the camera flash stuck on, and a blank screen. I have a feeling its just drivers that are trying to load at boot or something of that sort...
is there any way to get the 6700 drivers ported over to AKU 3.x ? if anyone can give me a starting point, im willing to fry phones to see this through. Thank you!

check the post at my site. I have a list of drivers. I will be working on it soon

Just picked up one of these phones today, from SaskTel. If I upgrade to one of the Sprint/other ROMS am I going to run into issues with my phone becoming locked to the new rom's network?
I'm a long time HTC Himalaya user and I've never run into that problem before, however, I've heard these CDMA phones are different.
Anyways, any help anyone can offer, in my quest to make this phone perform at a comparable level to the Himalaya, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

really a noob question
i also would like to have the latest, but exactly how is this done?

Dutty V3 + RADIO ... 3G failure

Hi guys,
I've got an AT&T branded HTC 8900 (tytn II, kaiser, what else).
Using it in Italy, with 3G provider (Wind).
I've updated it with Dutty V3. and radio i tried 1.27.12.11, -.17, -11.31... and my 3G (neither GPRS) connection doesn't work. When i try to connect the modem suddenly i get the “The answering modem has disconnected” than the “There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in to your registered home network” messages.
Before the update, the modem had worked fine with 3G connection, with original AT&T ROM.
Any suggestion?
TNX
ALEX

I also have a problem with duttys v3 and 3g. I wrote about it in a diffrent thread already. i can make a connection but there is a certain "lag" when i try to request data from the internet. No Problems on GPRS though. Tried all the diffrent radio roms. no change. Operator is O2 Germany device is a HTC Tytn II. I got a new Sim card today, maybe this will improve the situation. The Sim has a diffrent contact-layout. Will try tonight.
I have the suspicion that S2U2 might cause the problem, but I am not sure. Do you use S2U2? If yes, what version?

No problems here, try delete all settings which auto connections done, delete all proxys reset and enter manual settings to see if it works then

Did you try disabling HSDPA?

Fixed!

I guess it was just a f#cking hidden setting!
Even if I removed all connection setting, it kept not working...
I've installed the removeHiddenProxy4CWS_0522 cab, ( http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/ -> Kaiser Cab Collections )run, and after that it works fine!!
TNX!!
PS. HSPDA still enabled.
PPS. RADIO is again 1.27.11.31

Thanks Dutty! I tried your suggestion. I think it's a little better now but I still think the connection was more responsive in No.7 Rom. For example, when I log on to ICQ with IM+ it used to go straigt to a green "connected" icon. With v3 i get a yellow "connecting" icon for about 15 seconds and then the green one.
My new Sim card just got activated, but made no difference.
It's not that big of a deal for me, as my connection basicaly works.
I will test connection stabilty in he next couple of days.
Other than that v3 is great!! Thank you Dutty!
Are you planning on releasing a new Rom anytime soon?
Have a nice relaxing weekend Dutty!

Sweet!!!, I was having problems not being able to access the internet via PIE, but could using Opera...it was driving me Bonkers!!. This worked..
However, i'm still not able to access tom tom plus server!!, any ideas?

Hi! I reflashed v3 and everything seemed fine again. However I now have a problem where I can't call or receive calls when on UMTS. All is fine when I am on GSM.
I tried Alex's Multimedia Rom (1.56)...same story there.
I now flashed the HTC Rom that came with my Tytn II and so far (2 hours including several test calls) everything seems normal again. Will try to flash v3 again maybe tonight.
Starting to see everything in tricolor ;-)
Greetings from Aachen, Germany

Nope problems catched up again...does anybody know, if it is better to remove the sim and/or turn off the phone radio before flashing radio roms?
Thanks! Brevi

Dear all,
maybe this is the same problem?

Is the hidden proxy also installed in a vodafone Rom?
Thnx Max

sounds familar
hi,
please see other posts by me(any way to link these threads moderators?) for other threads with similar issues. To clarify, if you revert back to your original rom, your 3G and phone calls work again? I started having problems with my 3G and phone functions about a week after I got my AT&T tilt..but after I changed to one of dutty's roms.
If I disable 3G via the comm manager, all works well, voice and data etc, but I can only do edge speeds. Unfortunately, I live 15 miles from the nearest 3G area so its hard fo me to experiment with roms and settings.
Also, to confuse things even more, one 3G area will still work for me while the network closer into to the Boston metro area won't, leading me to think that a network provisioning upgrade in the Boston area may be looking for something in the original AT&T rom that is now gone. I'm hoping not and that a phone upgrade or mother board swap will fix it(as others are reporting). I should do a revert back to the original rom and drive to my "test" area and see if 3G comes back...that would suck if it does...the stock roms are awful and about 5 years behind the time as far as user interface...like my old Ipaq.
I really like the dutty roms and may just live with edge speeds(dutty a donation will be forth coming once I settle in on a solution dude ).
rich

I guess I tried everything by now...diffrent roms including HTC stock rom, radios, flashing radio with sim in/out.
But the problem always comes back.
About to call HTC support and send my Kaiser in for repair.
Hope it won't take too long, I am addicted to this fine device.
Already charged my old Hermes today. Oh my god the Kaiser is sooo much better compared to the Hermes it almost made me laugh ;-)

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

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

Strange problem with Speed Dial

Hi,
I have a Desire S on O2 UK, I was completely stock with S-ON and no root. I installed most recent update to 1.47 and this FUBAR'd the phone (kept dropping off mobile network and not reconnecting automatically) so I used the method from this thread '[UPDATED]how to root 1.47.161.2 hboot 002 (and possibly others)' to flash it back to 'RUU_Saga_O2_UK_1.31.206.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38 .03.02.14_M_release'.
I then carried on and used AlphaRevX to S-Off, flashed the Ext4 recovery image and used Gingerbreak to root.
Now when I press and hold 1 on the phone dialler instead of calling my voicemail it calls a fixed speed dial number that I can't change, bizzarely it is assigned to 123 and titled Buzon Movistar!! Key 5 is assigned to 112/Emergencias and key 6 1004/Atencion Cliente.
Does anyone know where these are coming from or how I change it back to the proper numbers?
Thanks

I flashed the pre-rooted Stock HTC 1.28 ROM and this has fixed the problem. Would love to know where those speed dial numbers came from.

I think I can answer this for you..
I've experienced the same problems as you, and HTC have only just recently started admitting there's an issue.
I'm also on O2 UK, but O2 is owned by Telefonica - a Spanish company. The ROM you downgraded to is likely to be the Spanish version and their voicemail code will be 123 rather than 901. So I would very much imagine the ROMs are exactly the same across Europe bar these few local changes.
(123 in the UK is in fact the talking clock, but I guess dialling 901 manually or assigning it to another speed dial would be a small price to pay for having your phone actually work!)
To date, there's no official fix from HTC. Downgrading the ROM is currently the only way that people have been reporting getting their full signal and phone capability back. HTC do not support this and are only replacing motherboards for the same problem to continue.

Nice one, that makes perfect sense but it never crossed my mind.
Hopefully they will release a post 1.47 update that fixes the problem-I'm frankly staggered that such a bad update could be released.
I confirm that flashing back to a stock 1.28 ROM fixes the issue (for me anyway).
Thank you sir.

My absolute pleasure, it's been nice to be able to add a slither of insight into what's becoming a major problem for many.
In the meantime, there's a thread on the Android Forums you might find interesting. Having less than eight posts on here I can't link to it but search on the terms:
"396171-signal-drops-completely-htc-desire-s"
..and you will find it. It's the latest place to my knowledge where we're being able to pool updates. O2 - and possibly HTC too - have seen this thread at least once and know it exists.

Cannot make/receive calls, but mobile data/SMS/WiFi/Bluetooth work fine.

I want to start by saying thank you to everyone on this forum. I have learned so much from reading the guides and resources (particularly those by @Gawd, @spanna, @Heisenberg, @EddyOS, and @Timmmmaaahh. I know some may have moved on but you legacy remains.).
This issue seems to have come up before on the forum, but I have not found one that matches my own situation with a solution, unless I am missing something. I am also lucky in that I have access to another near identical OPO without the issue for comparison. I am visiting my family and we all have OPO.
I have noticed that my phone will have decent to good signal (1-4 bars of Tomobile LTE) be able to use cellular data and send SMS, but not make and receive phone calls in certain areas. I would have been content saying this was a reception/carrier issue. However, I am visiting family for Memorial day and have been able to troubleshoot this with their phones. I bought my parents OPOs when it came out and my brother has a Find7, so we all have essentially the same hardware. For my troubleshooting I used primarily my mother's OPO (not updated since CM11S) and occasionally my brother's Find7. Both my mother and I have the 64 GB edition of OPO purchased around Oct-Nov 2014. Both are cobranded with Cyanogen, though mine was purchased a month or two prior to hers. When comparing the OPOs I notice her phone is able to send and receive calls in places where mine is not able. We have similar reception. I have cellular data and can still SMS. The issue is just with calls. I have tried the following (i have bolded things which I noted were different):
Basic stuff:
1) Making and receiving calls with both phones side by side. Her phone can send and receive calls in all areas (even with just one bar), while mine can only make and receive calls in some areas. My brothers Find7 has identical performance as my mothers phone.
2)Toggling airplane mode. -- Same result.
3)Toggling LTEonly, 3g only, and 2g only. -- Same result.
4)Verifying APN -- Identical for all three phones
5)Swapping SIM Cards -- both phones perform the same irrespective of which sim card is in it.
6)Verfied IMEI -- present in all phones.
7)Verifying signal strength (dBm/asu) in phone settings (*#*#INFO#*#*) -- near identical between phones. Our dBm numbers were the same but my asu number was sometimes triple her phone's asu. Her's was identical to the Find7.
More advanced stuff:
8) Removing the back cover and making sure the terminal are making contact to the backplate antennae.
9) Changing roms and firmware. No success.
- I had recently upgraded from the final release COS 13 to the latest Oreo RR with a clean wipe using TWRP. I was running RR when I first started this.
- First I tried flashing my recovery file with TWRP. It says it ran successfully, but didn't make any changes to the system.
- Since my mothers phone has no issues I tried to replicate her setup. I fastboot flashed the cm-11.0-XNPH05Q-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip provided by spannaa.
- I found some similar posts to my problem which linked to gawds firmware. I verified that both my mother's working OPO and mine had the same OS (XNPH05Q) and baseband (c7-00020) I also tried flashing different firmwares with no benefit.
- I tried fastboot flashing back to COS 11 XNPH33R (what my OPO came out out of the box with).
- I then used EddyOS guide to return device to stock COS 13.1.2. with no change.
- Thinking another new ROM may include a better firmware. I most recently did a clean install of AOSPExtedned and currently have baseband c6-0241.
Going forward:
- I was thinking of flashing gawds firmwares with AOSPExtedned. Is this safe?
- Looking to disable/unlink my google voice account from my cell number. My mom does not have this set-up. I noticed a delay in making calls, and that my google voice account has a log of all my missed calls (those that never make it to my cell). Maybe it interfering with my calls going in and out.
- Any suggestions on diagnostics I can run while I have access to my Mom's functioning OPO.
Much thanks for everyone's help.
