It would be good to put bugs and fixes to problems found on latest official 8525 ROM.
1.-The side dial problem could be a starter.
2.-No streaming on this update
3.-After this update you won't be able to go back to 1.34
Solution for number 3: Run enterbl.exe from your device, then the RUU for official 1.34, then you'll be able to downgrade
Anybody has a solution for 1 and 2?
BR
Good Idea.
Could I suggest that as issues are resolved, either you update post #1
or maybe even the WIKI?
I hate to see things get buried in an exausting thread.
Thanks,
Berd
Sure thing Berd!

Have you checked your USP to PC settings? There is a a check box to enable Advanced Networking. Try both settings (i.e. ticked and unticked) and see what happens.
Not sure if its the update, but my device hangs every so often. probably once a day since i updated last week. but that could be anything...
unless its happening to someone else as well...
no blackberry connect
not only is there no blackberry connect, but all versions I tried would not connect using the 2.15 rom. i've got to have bb email (unfortunately) so I rolled back to 1.34 official rom and 2.1.2.52 bb connect.
If anyone gets bb connect working with this new rom let me know.
fyi- I downgraded by using the sd flash card method described in the wiki.
After 2.15 update, I can't surf via the GPRS connection
I realize it is specific to connecting to the Cingy service as I can surf when on WiFi, but I have tried all the connection issue links I could find on the forum. I have to be missing something. This happened right after I upgrade to the new official ROM.
Here are my current settings.
MediaNet connection
Number= wap.cingular
Proxy Settings: only check box is on 'This network connects to the Internet'
The 'this newtork uses a proxy' is not checked. I tried it checked to and no dice.
Name for Connection: MEdia Net
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: wap.cingular
User name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
no domain
Advanced button: use server-assigned... for both TCP/IP and Servers
I have 3G in task bar and depending on what I play with in the settings.. sometimes it will seem to be grabbing the site and then it was 0K and finish with no error and nothing on the screen.
Other times it will error out.

can't disable startup sound
I recently upgraded my 8525 to the new rom provided by att/cingular (actually it is provided through htc's website, I found the link through cingular) I have some questions and was wondering if anyone can help.
The rom update doesn't give you wm6, it is still 5. It does enable the push to talk feature, and rebrands the phone as att instead of cingular. It also enables "cingular video," which is a streaming video service through att/cingular.
Now with the newer rom there is a horribly loud start up sound. It sounds like an airplane is taking off. Every time I soft reset the phone it plays this loud sound, even if my phone is on silent or on flight mode. This sound was not there before I upgraded the rom. I went into the folder where the sound is stored and tried to delete it, it will not let me. When I right click on it, the delete option is grayed out! The file is just a windows media sound, it is stored under the windows folder, and is named "3G_Up." I even tried to do it through the phone explorer on active sync, still won't let me delete it.
I am wondering if anyone knows a way to delete the file or somehow disable the start up sound. I have looked at all settings and don’t see any for start up sound.
I am also wondering this: I assume flashing a cooked rom will eliminate the cingular startup sound. If I flash a cooked rom onto my phone, will I be able to use the “push to talk” and the “cingular video?” Neither of these worked with the original rom. The “cingular video” is just a bookmark, and I tried sending a link from my phone with newer rom to an 8525 with the older rom, and it would not load. On 8525's with older roms when you push the push to talk button, it says "the ptt service is not yet available on your device."
I am assuming I have to choose between a cooked rom with no cingular video and ptt, or just live with the start up sound. If anyone knows any other way, I would just be thrilled
Thanks,
Jon

I have found the way that you tether is different than the older rom. I disabled USB connection through active sync, and connected USB cable. Then run program "internet sharing" on 8525. Then open internet explorer on pc, and begin using internet on computer. That is all I have to do to get online.
I'm not running this ROM anymore, but the solution to #2 should be to disable the IE proxy. This is in the Wiki.
The Wiki is your friend.
Follow this link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Scroll down to "Tweaks" and the near bottom of that section you will find your RegEdit to delete whosh sound.

i am having the same issues. Problems on Media Net and ISP connections. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Not sure what to do.
can't disable startup sound
Do a registry search for animation. You'll find a startup wav file setting. Delete it and the startup sound is gone.
You know, I just can't understand why people would still run the completely useless Cingular/AT&T ROM build. My rom *never* crashes, never locks up, I have tons more ROM memory and I don't have all those stupid "hey, this is a cool program that you COULD use for only $9.95 a month" programs they foist into the rom...
But, I guess if you'd rather have trained monkeys at Cingular giving you "support" instead of the people here, many of whom are engineers of some variety, and know the rom's and phones inside and out, who can argue with that....
One confused Elf.

I can think of several reasons... some people dont want to flash a cooked rom.. some people want the PTT feature which does not exist on a wm6 rom yet (this alone makes this rom NOT completely useless, but would make yours useless for some people).. for some people this rom is very stable... i got a million more reasons..

Its also a safety net for the noob such as myself for the next few weeks. Though I am a big DIY from electronics to cars.. when I get a brand new phone (as this one is to me - 8525) and I have it as a work phone.. I am going to read every thread I can until I am sure my curiosity doesn't leave me bricked because I missed a thread that says.. waitwaitwait... don't do that, do this, pfew, saved you a trip to buy yourself a new phone. So, in the meantime, I will play it safe with a supposedly official and tested ROM until I get the cohunas to dabble a little deeper. It has nothing to do with my trust in the forum.. it has to do with my abilities to read some of the semi-cryptic wording that I don't fully understand yet and applying what I can figure out step by step. I understand the concepts of a cooked ROM, just not fully any of the downsides.
So, as my previous thread stated, I ended up going with the official 'newer' ROM from HiTeCh and afterwards I couldn't connect to Medianet. So I call them, talk to support for 30 minutes and then they hand me over to HTC for an hour. After all that, I get another phone. Since I am now a 'Connections' afficianado from having everyone and brother at Cingy and HTC walk me through over and over, I decide to change my new phone which is currently on 'My ISP' and switch it over to MediaNet. This is (as far as I understand it), what the new ROM is forcing me to do anyways. So I change over, it connects to MediaNet just fine... and then I try to surf the web. SAME THING HAPPENS. So, it turns out the old phone was not the problem, it is either something wrong with Cingular or something wrong with my plan. I change it back to 'My ISP' and I am back surfing just fine.
The moral of the story, I would recommend getting the MediaNet setting/connection workng first before you upgrade the ROM. That way you know when you upgrade the ROM and it forces you to use MediaNet (the My ISP setting no longer worked for me after the ROM update), that you haven't killed your internet surfing capacity. These are just my ramblings so if anyone has any ideas/questions let me know.
If the answer for how to get passed this has been posted a million times, I haven't found it in my searching for the past 4 days since I got my phone... and thus immediately went to the new ROM when I saw it was available... so please point me in the direction... and flame on!

Thank you for your suggestion, but I tried this before with no results.
AT&T is probably doing it on purpose (no streaming) to make us use their pay access software.
I upgraded to the new DCD Beta 2.0 and when I try to connect to the mobile internet I get an error stating it cannot connect for an unknown reason. It also states Error Code: 11 - PPP Connection Error.
I am on Verizon and dialing #777, this still happens when I manually enter my username (ph#@vzw3g.com) and vzw password. I've tried a hard reset, but still the same issue.
Any ideas or does it look like a call to Verizon?
Ok, So I called Verizon and talked to the for a long time. They think it's a bad phone and I should try and get a warranty replacement.
I'm pretty sure there has to be a setting in the rom that I can change from when I originally had the Sprint ROM on there.
Any ideas?
I have Verizon also. I pay as you go so I normally do not connect with the data connection. So I put in your settings and had no problem connecting or surfing the web. I am also running the new rom. Hope this helps.
I think my main problem is that I installed the Sprint 3.16 "unofficial" rom onto my phone. When I went back to the Verizon rom I had to manually load a PRL to get back on the Verizon towers. Now I need to figure out what else to change to get Data Back.
Data/MMS OTA download resolved
Good news I got it fixed. I had to call Verizon. It's a problem on their network, something to do with the way the account is provisioned. This is an issue that shows up for folks that don't have an unlimited data plan and are only setup for pay as you go. I wish I could give you more detail about what to say but as usual with tech support it depends on who you talk to. I would just keep calling back until I got to the right person.
Data Connection Resolved
I also had a similar problem on the VZW network. Tried many setting changes last weekend to no avail, I needed to get a new A-key so I downgraded to 1.6.10 because of the 3.27 radio issues. The Data connection still didn't work, so I called and got a new A-key, then once that was working, chased the Data connection with a different tech support group, they tried the usual resets and programming. Finally, the tech guy exhausted his list and pushed the problem to network support, an hour or so later the data connection was working again. Network support called later to check to see if my problem was resolved, which it was. He said they had to reset the local switch, something about a hung data session.
I've on Sprint, and I've been having problems getting my data working again with the new 3.16 ROM. I called tech support, and after verifying all the settings, they looked for outage reports.. and found a global Sprint vision provisioning issue currently logged. We'll see if things improve in a few hours..
I just upgrade my mogul to the sprint 6.1 rom and radio. Now it doesnt give me the option to select SPRINT PCS or PHONE AS MODEM. i used to use SPRINT PCS and it will connect and i use thether with the usb cord. I can still thether using the usb cord however just wanted to konw if i will be charged for doing so? I use about 3GB per month.
I was reading about doing some registry edit, but not sure where to find that information again.
Any help?
Thanks
Internet Sharing on WM6.1 (Phone as Modem)
The first thing that I noticed about WM6.1 was that the second drop down list (which showed Phone as Modem and Sprint PCS) was missing from Internet Sharing.
I called Sprint Technical Support and threw them in a tizzy because they had no idea that this changed. Their final response to me was, "... don't worry about it, you have Phone as Modem on your plan so you're fine."
That being said... I have CoPilot 7 installed on my phone. In the Internet Options section of Live Setup there is a drop down list which shows:
Default
Phone as Modem
Sprint PCS
So there are obviously registry entries that CoPilot is reading to populate that drop down list.
Strictly a "WAG" but it looks like:
1. HTC screwed up on this one when they came out with the new ROM.
2. Sprint told HTC to remove it but no one in Technical Support got their TPS Report ("did you remember to put the cover page on your TPS Report").

I was running JF's 1.51 but needed to downgrade to RC29. Now that I've done so I can't get internet and therefore can't get past the sign up stage.
I've searched the forums THOROUGHLY and can't find a solution. Please don't delete my post.
I realize there's a post detailing how to skip this sign in step. Because I can't change the settings of my phone it wont work for me. I need to know if anyone has run into this problem and what are some possible causes. My APN settings are correct. I even have the EDGE network internet icon on the phone, and it looks like there is some activity, but I cannot connect to Google servers.
PLEASE help, I'm kind of new to this and maybe jumped in too quickly, but the first time I followed this process I didn't have any problems at all. I've tried changing the ROM and using different bootloaders, nothing will get past the authentication.
I'm no expert, but just a question. Does it matter if hes using an newer radio on an older build?
When I sometimes flash a ROM and can't get internet access I just turn on/off my phone a time or two and eventually I get internet back.
Actually this is fixed. It was simple and embarrassing.
After doing a lot of reading I found a post on another site with a tmob rep. He was talking about how if you have a shared text plan, sometimes there are issues with the data plan provision dropping off of the sim card because the subscriber will have a shared text plan and also text messages as part of their data package. T-mobile systems see this as redundant and drop a feature.
I've had the same data plan for almost 2 years, it's the same data plan I was using when I first got the g1 - sometimes their systems don't pick it up for awhile apparently - but when they do you can no longer use that internet gateway. Coincidentally, this happened to me just as I was downgrading my g1.
Sorry for the needless post. Thanks to everyone who contributes to the site with guides, they have always been very helpful to me.
Sometimes it's the simplest thing...
Not exactly sure what happened, but today my internet stopped working on my vogue 6900. I have metro PCS. Everytime I try to log onto the internet it keeps asking for my password. I have tried the 000000, and that is not working, neither is mymetropcs. I have the unlocker de coder and it is set for 000000. I tried my hex# and my dec# and my serial number. None of those work. Is anyone else having this issue too? Also tried mymetropcs and also left blank, none of these worked
I tried reinstalling the metro cab and resetting my name and password with the abouve--- did not fix it. Can anyone help w/ this?
Thanks in advance
No one else is having this issue?
I am using nsfans rom w/ win 6.5 vogue 6900 if that helps any
was working beautiful until the other day.
I did notice that my unlocker came up out of the blue one day, I thought I had enabled it somehow. Looks like metro might have done it?
Sorry for not answering your pm.
Metro will try to crack down on internet usage from time to time. Particularly if your device was placed in their network via other ways aside from MetroFLASH.
Try to see if there is a newer PRL (although 2001 and 2004 have not been updated in forever). Also, make sure that your proxies didn't change. I have seen this happen before. Check them in Start>Settings>Connections.. (forgot the rest, sorry )
The one thing I did not understand is what do you mean that the "unlocker came up?" Are you talking about CoKeMaN's unlocker? or what?

I had the phone flashed by a corporate metro store and pay for internet
I have tried to reset all the settings in start, settings, connections. It will not save any of the settings
I can get into the epst settings and have checked all the settings in there.
Right now I have another problem too. My pc will not recognise the PDA. I have the right version of sync center, but every time I plug into it, it never recognises the vogue. The phone recognises that it is plugged in, but I am getting an error code and can not find any info on the error code
0x80004005
Also in the epst settings I cant change the setting for PRL capability preferred, it is set at disable. When I click on edit it wont allow me to change the setting. Should this be set at enable or disable?
Do you know the number to dial from the phone to update the PRL?
