DST fix for WM5 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I saw this on PocketPCThoughts.com today. It's linked from another page, here: http://www.edgeblog.net/2007/daylight-saving-time-windows-mobile-fix/
This should work on our 8525/tytns, right? Any reason it shouldn't? Maybe there are carrier specific ones out there (it's hinted at in the post)?
No matter... I figured I'd post it up.

Contact listings

Hi guys I know the question I'm going to asked has been done before but I can't seem to find it through the search function tonight.
Why do some contact have the names reversed?
Examples of whats happening,
Work, Jeff
Two, Home
Depot, Geraldton
Is there anyway of fixing this?
With the last one in particular I have other listings of different depots which have saved correctly :?
Cheers for any thoughts or if someone knows what the heading was for the topic previously.

Strange Boot up Message on 7501

Afternoon All,
I just picked up a 7501 at CompUSA, and noticed a strange message after a soft reset on the boot loader screen: "For Test Only. Not For Resale." Anybody ever seen this? Any ideas? Anything that I should look for in the unit to see if it differs from a "production" model?
Everything seems to work, and to be the stock WM6 ROM (17745.0.2.3). Going to find my copy of mtty and see what sort of data I can pull out of the boot loader.
EDIT:
IPL - v2.02
SPL - v1.10.0000
Same message happens on my 7501 here. Also aquired from Comp USA one week ago. I did an extensive search and found nothing about why this specific message is displayed. Maybe someone "more in the know" can let us know.

See if Midget can help you with this. This may be of interest to us if you have something not yet released or something that got out by mistake.
seems you have a pre-production bootloader. a similar thing happened with the universals.
download the shipped rom here
http://www.america.htc.com/products/advantage7501/default.html
and click on software update on the right.
OR
click on the direct link below.
http://download.america.htc.com/RUU_Athena_HTC_US_2.19.453.4_105_1.47.51.00_Ship.exe
Also I have posted it on sendspace.com for faster download. (will expire soon)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ghcp1v
If one of the MODs could upload this to Xda-developers ftp site, it'd be much appreciated.
Is there a similar link to the shipped ROM for the x7500? This would make me feel more confident in flashing to WM6... g.
**EDIT** Before I get flamed, I just thought about looking in the FTP site, which I found by going to the wiki. I assume this is the latest??
RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00.00_Ship.exe
**EDIT** Yes, the ROM and Radio numbers match when I look in device info. I should delete this, but maybe someone else has a similar question.
** PLEASE DON'T FLAME ME! Just checking...

Midget,
Do you think that it is worth dumping the bootloader for you or Oli to play with?

same thing here except i ordered mine 7501x from Amazon. I downloaded the ROM update from HTC america before i got the unit, but i updated it without a hitch and now that message went away, however i seem to have lost the Opera browser as one of my programs...anyone confirm that?
I switched mine to the new ROM as the one with the not for resale is pretty buggy, and I still have Opera.

help

can blue angel run this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469865
you can install it, i had a previous version installed with sun_dream's wm6.1 rom and i thought i had an improvement. another thing is: i just checked the registry and the values mentioned in the thread do not exist on my xplode 21202 rom, so i don't know whether it would change anything to install it, it wouldn't do any harm, but then don't expect any improvements, if you do, please respond here and write azharsunny, that his tweak works for the ba too so he can add it to the list of compatible devices
Also, could you Edit the tittle of first post to something more like " iTouch Tweek" for BA ???? So others would be more interested in reading.
I would also suggest to test it and let us know.
Edit: Also, are you looking for better sensitivity with your finger or with the stylus? I've found that when you do the Screen Setting, if you do it with your finger, and gently touch the crosses, it give you more sensitivity when using finger.
Ive tryd this reg change my self there's no difference what so ever, on our BA's that is.
It could be that since this reg tweak was meant for other devices, the values are elsewhere. I remember changing the screen sensitivity a while back in WM6 and it does work. I'll try to see if I can remember the entry, but it does work. I don't know if this "program" works or not, but I guess trying it wouldn't hurt.
@Nev2Star
markanthonypr is absolutely right. Please refrain from opening a thread with a title like that. Whenever you create a thread, please make sure that the following conditions are met:
[highlight]* You are posting it in the right section of the forum:[/highlight]
This is clearly a specific program compatibility issue and it sure does not deserve a new thread for it. You could have just created a post in the thread where you found the program or you could have asked in the "Questions and Answers" section of the forum. Remember, this is only for WM6+ development, testing, etc. and not for specific programs. This is not the first thread that you have opened with similar purposes in the BA section and I am simply asking you to open them in the right section (which is not this one).
[highlight]* Make a title for your thread that is specific for your problem:[/highlight]
Again, if you want someone to look at your question seriously (or even look at it at all), put a title that clearly explains what you are looking for. A title of "help", doesn't say anything. What happened? Did your BA crash? Are you trapped in a coal mine? You need help with math homework? What does "help" tell the other members looking into possibly helping you out? Absolutely nothing.
[highlight]* That the thread doesn't already exist / the question hasn't been asked before:[/highlight]
In this case, there is a full thread in the Dev & Hacking section solely dedicated to this program. There is no need for a new thread talking about compatibility of this.

ROMs missing from HTC's site?

Hi all,
I am sure I checked the HTC website yesterday and the current roms were listed (both standard and orange). Looked back today and I can't seem to find them. Have they been taken off and if so does this mean official 2.1 is imminent?
http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all
I can still see them.
Same here, I can still see them all...
http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all
ooops... my bad sorry.
The internet connection I was on wasn't automatically directing me to the UK site which is more than likely why they weren't showing. Sorry.

another update

dont know if this was posted yet, i searched but didnt find it here...
another update on HTC webpage for AGPS.... hmmm.. what about releasing update for sound or sms or other major problems????
PS: i am not allowed to post links - i need 4 more posts
Yup, saw that on HTC's website. I've applied the SMS fix, but still some of my READ SMSs are still UNREAD. Some SMSs are also crumped into one row were the text looks really mumble jumbled.

This is only available on the Hong Kong (English) version of the site, so it may not be applicable to our ROMS. However normally they do state which ROM the update is designed for but not in this instance so it may work.
This won't work in UK as we use a different sort of A-GPS.
