is wifi still an known issue when using WM 6.1 - Shadow General

hi all,
i'm planning to buy 3 of these phones,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Phoebus
on wiki it seems there is an wifi issue, but not sure how to check them when i'm in a store looking for this phone
is this still an issue when WM 6.1 is installed?
does wifi work with WM 6.1 or is this resolved when WM 6.1 is installed?
lindows

Why would you buy 3 Junos, when you could buy a brand new Shadow 09 with better hardware and battery.....Its also preloaded with WM 6.1
Well, if you really want the out dated T-Mobile Shadow/Juno then your going to need to load WM 6.1 your selves. Its not a hard process but can take some time.
I have no problem with my WiFi on my Windows Mobile 6.1 Shadow, I have never had a problem but the problem could relate to a earlier Rom of Windows Mobile 6.1. I Don't think any of the current Roms have such problem.
Good Luck on WM 6.1!

yeah, the wifi issues are on 6.0 only i believe, and kind of a hit and miss thing with the shadow. i have never had the problem, but i think if you install the t-mobile update it goes away.
@mast3rmatt he may be buying these for family or business use, which would be smart since they are hella cheap and more than capable of doing anything the new shadow can, especially if they get upgraded to 6.1.

Blackberry Connect

Is there anyway to get Blackberry connect to work on the TC? I've tried downloading it on the phone and activating it, but it just says pending?
If not what are some better ways of getting email to my TC besides Outlook thats built in!
Simply not at the moment....
Sorry I have tried everything but nothing do do...
We need to wait until a big company like voda, swisscom etc desides to support the Polaris.
Blackberry is blocked with a build number and exact Windows version from Microsoft including device type.
Have a good day
Romabn
New Rom comming soon
Hi, just got my Orbit 2 a couple of days ago from a shop. I told the guy that i wanted BB connect, and he said they didn't support it on the polaris. Then he told me (about 3 or 4 times) to keep an eye on the software update in the next days...i ask him and looks like this could be BB connect or WM7.
lets keep and eye and cross fingers!!

Bardo - Any news on this?
Orbit 2 update
Hi guys, sorry not yet...
What do you guys think
DO you think that its possible that BBC will ever be available for the Polaris. I tried the BBC on wife Touch and it works so i tot it would be the same as well for the Polaris so i took a gamble and went to buy it when its available. Unfortunately, it didnt work......so loss the gamble, but it is a nice and light device as compared to my Kaiser.
What do you guys think. Any hope.
Blabckberry Connect
Hi,
I have understood that the Blackberry connect must work without problems on any WM6 device.
I'm just wait to conform this to by a TOUCH CRUISE. Please can anyone comfirm if BB Connect WORK or NOT WORK on Touch Cruise and why?
Thanks in advance

Not at the momment. But im hopeful as i have a smartphone vox and it was working then after a while it stopped working. However, maybe some operator have got the vox to be able to work, and from then onwards it started to work. I guess i may be wrong but its perhaps the build number is different as i reason to believe that the current windows devices are ver 6 and the tc is 6.1, maybe thats why it is not working, as i have tried the bb connect on the htc touch aka elf and it worked flawlessly, so best bet is to see when a suitable windows 6.1 cab is release perhaps ver .92 or .93 then the tc will work.
BB Connect and Cruise
Thanks a lot....! I wait for confirmation on BB Connect before buy Cruise......
About BBC ... Guys! BBC check your OS Version and Device ID!! If you use custom Roms and they have a newer OS Version or a bad modded Device ID, you cant connect to the bbc network! Most time it works with the Original delivered rom only!
HTC Niki works with BBC 4.0, but it doesnt with a new cooked Rom.
Next ... if your Cell Phone Provider hasnt the right to use BBC 4.0, the Black Berry Network drops your PIN and you cant connect again!
You see ... a lot of parameters and licencings can make troubles!
Ergo ... if you use WM6.1 -> BBC drops your PIN!!!
BBC with brand new HTC Cruise......?

Each time I read more ...I'm more confused.... !
I just need to know, if with a out of the box Touch Cruise in Spain, I will be able to use on Vodafone net, BBC with my company BB Enterprise.
I understand in the message of xphobic that HTC Touch Cruise comes with WM 6.1, Is that correct?
Thanks

I'm a BB-connect user, but I'm thinking of buying the Touch Cruise. My network, Rogers supports BB-connect. Will BB-connect work? This is an important feature for me.
Hi, neither Rogers or Fido support BBC for anything other than nokia. You can install BBC but it will not generate a PIN. If anyone got to generate a PIN please let me know.
I'm running BB-connect on my Nokia E90. It generated a PIN automatically and I've been running it for the past two months. I need to know if the Touch Cruise supports BB-connect as well.
I was not able to set it up.

I had a response from someone quite senior in o2 in the UK - they do not intend to support Blackberry connect because RIM are stopping development on the client.

On a distribution WWE rom yes, on any other ROM, no.
I haven't heard of anyone able to get BBC working on the Cruise. This was discussed in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376889
Another place where this was discussed is here:
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276
I'm getting mixed answers. Some say it'll work with original ROM, not with cooked, some say it wont work at all. I'm worried now, I'm picking up a TC like tomorrow, and this is an important feature for me.

Possible in Germany on o2's release ROM I read somewhere.
If you are not using a release WM6 Pro Rom it wont work has been my experience with other devices.
o2 UK say that RIM are about to stop developing for the BBC for Windows Mobile and so they say they are no longer going to offer BBC support for new models.

Win 6.1 for XV6700

I thought i may upgrade to the diamond pro for verizon when it comes up but since their stupid asses are basically downgrading to the phone i have i was wondering if someone has created a 6.1 version for my phone yet

PPC 2003 or WM6.1?

If I am just using my Typhoon for contacts, calendar, and tasks on the go, should I stick with PPC 2003 or upgrade the phone to WM6.1? I wouldn't be on internet because I don't have a data plan, but I love the threaded texting of WM6.1. In summary, would WM6.1 or PPC 2003 be faster on my Typhoon?
2003 of WM6.1
I would like to hear coments too! I was given a Typhoon (Audiovox SMT5600) and was planning on doing the same thing as Geeksquad. My Typhoon is sim unlocked and ready to go, just need a direction. I'll be using Outlook 2000 at work and 2007 at home, anyone see major issues here as well.
Thanks in advance.
what is sim unlocked? do i need to do it if i use at&t?
You only need to sim unlock if your going to use the phone on a different network.
Since I'm using T-moblie, I would have sim unlocked the phone given to me, but I was lucky and it was already unlocked.
Now all we need to do is Appilcation unlock them to re-flash. Depending on what others are going to tell us
ppc 2003 is fast enuf, but would 5,6, or 6.1 be faster?
Hey guys, as of my experience, WM6.1 is much much faster than WM2003SE.
Added to that, the look and functionality are amazingly better. It seems like having purchased a brand new phone!
Can only recommend...
I am a proud owner of a HTC Feeler (Sp3i) and I would say that for your purposes, if you are not afraid of bricking your phone, it is definitely worth upgrading to WM 6.1. There will be some loss of speed, but it is not anything that is unbearable. I must agree with with Prerna that WM6.1 brings new life to your phone and it does look amazing. For your purposes, the added functionality comes in terms of different layouts and a few more options in terms of network options than the original ROM. There are also a lot of new programs being written for the WM6.1 platform that can not be used in WM2003SE platforms. In my opinion, it is worth upgrading, and looking at Karhoe's guide to updating to 6.0 and using the same principles to upgrade to 6.1 makes it really easy.
I tried everyway way to upgrade my Spv c500 2003se but couldn't succeed except with JAFWM i used mtty , NBFtool but couldn't get it n i always get this [294] Invalid Vendor ID problem when try RuuOCHv2.5_v4.2.5.2_ship.exe (Update utility) n when i try Windows.Mobile.5.ROM.Pack.For.HTC.Typhoon.C500.SMT5600 then it stuck on 11% or sometimes on 14% n get utility error has encounter it has to be closed etc so tell me what way should i try ?
I've been running Aluet's WM6.1 for Typhoon/Feeler/Amadeus v 1.3 on my old SMT5600 from Cingular for about 6 months now.
I gave it to my oldest son when he started 5th grade. It's been working flawlessly and I would not have given it to him if I felt there were issues. This is actually why I had not loaded version 1.5 of the same rom as there were stability problems at the time.
The phone had 2003 on it and after loading WM6.1 and playing with it for a while I was quite impressed. There are occasional slow downs if a lot of things are left opened but freeing up mem takes care of it.
I still have another SMT5600, as I got a great deal on a couple refurbs, so I will be doing this all over when my youngest son gets a phone next year.
I've been searching the world for a threaded messaging program. Anybody wanna point me in the right direction. I would flash it to WM6.1, but it's acting like it doesn't wanna work.

yes it can
I have a Problem after the upgrade to 6.5
When trying to register to my network it says - "Cannot register on selected network. choose another network or disconnect your data connection and try again"
when inserting a SIM of another network (orange) it works 100% and when i put my SIM of (Cellcom) it give me that error unable to register.
any ideas on how to overcome this issue ?
thanks.
check out ppcgeeks.com for this there is still alot of roms being created for the treo pro than here on xda
u should be able too...
6.5 sucks on a Treo. The start menu is gone and replaced with honeycombed icons that are very awkward on a smaller screen like the Treo has. I saw no benefit from the upgrade at all to justify the additional headache.
ive upgraded mine and its a breath of fresh air. Titanium blows away the 6.1 today screen. Any limitations are those of microsoft. ppcgeeks.com

[Q] ipaq 6945

Hi, this is my first post.
I want to know what others OS I can install on hw6945 ipaq. I have install the WM6.1. This OS is too much better than WM5 (my old one) because his batery and performance...
The ask is because I like this phone and if I can evaluate his OS to get the best benefits, I will spend some money in new batery and increse the memory (actualy only 64Mb). If not, I will buy another phone.
In my installation, the phone, bluetooth, gps and wi-fi are presents (i can see looking in HP Asset View (displayed as "MyCPL 7"). Fone I already tested, works fine. But the others don't. What is "GSM" that I read a lot in others posts? What funcionality doesn't work?
Resuming:
1) What the others OS to this hw6945 ipaq?
2) What happens if "GSM" doesn't work?
Already thanks
Gabriel Novy
Hey friend, I know that is possible run Windows Mobile 6.1 and a guy is working here in the xda on a 6.5 ROM, I want to upgrade my memory too, to 128mb, and run great programs on the phone
If GSM do not work you can not make any call at all. Phone does not get a sevice from the operator nor you can turn on phone functions of the device.
Done
Dear friends, I finally done the change.
My hw6945 now is running wm6.1.
Thanks for the answers.
