It will only fix audio compatibility with the mentioned devices... don't expect WM6
I have been hitting refresh on that site for so many days now, and yet still no sign of WM6.
Any body any clues as to when?

let's just say if i do share this ROM, there will be no more testing for me in the future and also i will be in deep trouble. It's a risk i can't take. But good news is I can confirm the WM6 update is coming really soon now.
Sorry to be the one to ask this but what is considered soon? By the end of the month. I can't wait for the stability of WM6. I was spoiled with my Hermes. I forgot what it was like to run WM5.

there you go, someone answer for me. Official release is said to be out next month. I will be getting beta version at the end of the month of beginning of next month. Hopefully they won't delay on the official release.
p.s. Oh, by the way, this time line only applys to DOPOD, HTC might have similar time line too. But T-mobile Ameo user should expect a slide delay if T-mobile ever wanted to release the WM6 for Ameo.
ok
We know about the official release from Dopod, but this ~internal beta testing~ is really internal.
Someone needs to share, the potential of this device only will be explored with WM6...
Meanwhile , I'm still using my Universal....
and next week... The Jesus Phone (aka Iphone)
Why is everyone so kean on WM6 - the official blurb I read only seemed to be rae about html email - is wm6 really worth reinstalling everything? (when it comes ...)
Yes it is. I had a Hermes for the past 10 months and upgraded to WM6 as soon as XDA came out with it. Even from the very first beta versions it was more stable and faster than an official WM5 version. And remember the WM6 versions I was using had been hacked up and stuff added and taken away. Even with all that I would never soft reset it during the day to unfreeze it or to get the memory back that programs had leaked. Grant it there were still programs that had problems due to incompatibility with WM6. But overall it is a faster and smoother operating system.
more bad news...

That's old news and good not bad
HTC is also offering WM6 upgrades for the most popular devices in its current range. This includes recently launched “messaging” products, which will enjoy the greatest benefits of Windows Mobile 6, such as the HTC Advantage, the HTC TyTN, the HTC S620, and the HTC P4350. The upgrade will also be available for the award-winning HTC P3300, plus some of our operator-branded devices. The upgrades will be rolled out from June, in line with our operator partners’ strategies.

according to HTC europe, the release date for the Athena's WM6 is early September...
It wont matter, come August Advantage X7501 is out which ships with WM6. Once someone gets hold of this we will get a ported WM6 ROM.

the x7501 ROM won't work on X7500, these two machine are not identical. You still need the wm6 update of x7500

I'm pretty confident given the Vast similarities of the devices someone on these boards will be able to easily and readily do the port. Therefore I confer my previous statement that once X7501 is released, we will have a WM6 ROM, none of this waiting for September business.

that is very true, anyway, from what i know and the beta testing going on, the wm6 is still possible to be launch in July, so if lucky, you will get it before x7501 comes out. Second, don't forget you need to CID Unlock your device before flashing x7501.

SMS Hotfix Just Around The Corner!!!

Hello
Just to let everyone know I was on the phone to tech support yesterday and the rather informed lad I was speaking to was saying that SMS hotfix to sort out the bag lag and non sending issue will be released in 10 to 14 days. Also the 1.48 ROM is not on the HTC site because its not an official release or fix in any way he said.

10 - 14 days? Seriously? I was hoping that the thread title, 'just around the corner' would have led to an announcement of , Monday/ Tuesday of next week.
Shocking and very disappointed
... but very good to know that they have/are developing a solution for this issue as it tends to have hit alot of units (not mine...?).
Thanks!
around the corner?! they said the same thing for about a week or two.
Welcome news, even for those of us who haven't experienced the problem yet. 10-14 days sounds about right to me. Bug fixes for platforms like this have to be rock solid. Not like a patch for a pc game for example, where users are used to continually updating or rolling back versions.
This is good news, and I can wait. Let's face it - I don't have a choice.
I do think that 10-14 days is quite long though. Coming from a software background, that sounds reasonable, but we know that HTC don't actually test their software, so it should be about 4 days
Just kidding. I <3 HTC!!
very good news, but what so now if 1.48 isn't an official HTC Release, what the **** do i have on my leo right now Oo xD

It's never been officialy released by HTC. It was "leaked".
I just wanted to download the camera fix from htc.co.uk, and recognized a very interesting sentence: "This update is only applicable to ROM version is equal to 1.60.XXX.X, or lower"
So, shall we expact that HTC is working on an official ROM, which includes the camera-fix and has a version-number > 1.60 ???

I thought 1.49 was the official release:
http://htcpedia.com/news/official-htc-hd2-rom-1_49.html
Is this a hotfix for the lagging messaging app (i.e. - when you go to type aa message and have to wait for about 5 seconds or so before tapping the screen works)?
Sounds good to me...
I am following the WMDev team on twitter and have asked questions about a possible upgrade path to win7...

Froyo not allowing front facing video cam to work on video calls?

It worked fine on 1.6 using Fring. Now with Froyo its not allowing the front camera to make video calls, it just uses the back. What gives? Anyone have a fix for this?
Crossing fingers for gingerbread?
Multicam-support out of the box should be one of the 2.3-features.
I´ve heard, that fring with front-cam works on Steve´s froyo (but not 100% sure).

I read that last night on Pocketables, but apparently the guy retracted the statement this morning, stating he was wrong. So still no FFC. Why can't Dell just ask the folks that made the EVO how they did it?
i think dell should give a free mirror to everybody
To mix things up, my fring does work with both cameras, I'm running Steve's 1.1.1 and just updated to the new fring.

How can that be seriously? I dont understand these issues. And I really dont want a mirror. The phone came with a front facing camera and it worked on 1.6 Fring. So seeing that fring and tango dont work on Froyo, Im seeing it as Dells issue, not Fring or Tangos. This really is messed up, there has to be a conclusion to this eventually.
this is not a feature of android 2.2 but it will be implemented in 2.3
so unless developers make there own driver for it , it is likely not going to work.

no way this is a Dell issue.. Dell made this happen for you in the 1.6 build while it is not a part of android operating system. so i wonder what you call dell issues. most of these "issues" are not even implented in android system itself.
Whoa, easy there buddy. I didnt know this isnt implimented in Android. So if my friend that has an HTC Evo with froyo on it is using Fring and it works fine, its HTC that made that happen and not Android? I just dont get how anyone can make FFC work on 1.6 wether its Dell or Google, and not have it work on 2.2? Extremely odd.
yeah I would have to agree, no front cam.. all Dell's fault
mabye they'll fix it in the January update... lol..

It is hardly a fix and more of a workaround. The fix would have to come from Fring devs and give you an option to select your camera.
Wait till 2.3-3.0 which will have builtin video calling.
So what did DJ_Steve do to this that cant be added to the official version of froyo? And will Gingerbread even be availible to our phone? Nowadays, phones arent even getting the updates that there supposed to.
3 August 2011.
Fring is not using the front camera, instead it uses the rear one.
Maybe I'm missing some "settings configuration"...

Hi,
Yes, LG Optimus 7 with Tango apps installed from Marketplace from time when Tango was first time released in version 1.0 , week or two ago updated from Marketplace to version 1.1.
My two colleague has HTC Desire HD and Samsung Galaxy II, Tango installed on both and it works quite well, call quality it is not as let say Skype but it works, video also works. Only what is missing in app is information who is online and whose not. I do not prefer push notification on WP since you cannot set it up ringing tone for toast notification.
Cheers

Hi. It is important that working.
I do not remember but I think in time when I wanted to install apps I receive notification that I do not have build in FFC, but it working.
Also, I remember that version 1.1 when is published, was not for Optimus 7, that version is fix some bugs for other vendors.
Marketplace which I use is England, maybe that is also important. I do not know.
If I want video call I need to stand up in front of mirror, same it will be with Skype.
Cheers.
Hi JosipoGo,
Use this version of Tango from the Windows Phone Marketplace here: http://bit.ly/vVxXhE
