cheers there,,
it was only until yesterday that i had the courage to flash my BA to windows mobile 6...
To be honest ... you guys did a great job..
however, bugs have made their way into this one as well, so i will i will be asking you guys to post all your bugs in the following format:
ROM version:
bugs in :
PHONE:
WIFI:
PROGRAMS:
etc...
rom version: 5.2.1629
radio rom : 1.12
proplems:
phone:none
wifi: i can't use the wireless manager to turn on the wifi
prgrams:
1) x-button is not working , all programs are minimizing instead of closing, despite of the x-button being correctly configured
2) i cant get to type arabic letter with the keyboard, though allthe other arabic functions are working,
performance: the device is a bit sluggish
THINGS THAT ARE ANNOTING BUT DONOT REPRESENT A BUG:
1) button lock is not there,,, it is really annoying to find out that your BA is making a random phone call while in your pocket !!
2) I really liked the broadcom bluetooth stack , can i get it working here?
3) sim contacts appear in the phone book and there is no option to disable this , it would be really nice if i could get rid of the duplicates
and again:
thank you guys big time, especially HELMI for the super work,,
waiting for everybody to share their bugs
you can use comm manager, you just have to turn it on tru wlan settings esp after every SR, but after that you can activate it using comm manager. just like wm5...
one thing i noticed is the lack of keyboard sttttuttttteeeerrrriinnnnggg... which is great news since i always use the keyboard via one-handed operation.
x button is working on my unit, which is easily noticed since i have wisbar.
one bug i noticed though is that whenever ur connected to the pc and its syncing with the BA, it will totally freeze the BA for the duration that the pc and BA are syncing, sometimes causing the BA to hang.

It would be nice to switch on Wireless withou having to click on several items though - especially when using spb backup and auto restart after backup and profiles in phonealarm.
- WLAN activation problem
- keyboard problem (repeating characters after releasing keyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...)
- phone doesn't work sometimes ("R" and "G" are "NONE") after softreset --> another softreset *immediately* after "R NONE" and "G NONE" appear.
- no ActiveSync --> activate "USB to PC" in Settings, Connections.

With Broadcomm bt 1.7 by Helmi , what are the pros and cons, and does it sort out the wifi activation problem. I have read that there are some new problems with BT using this stack, can you confirm this?
well, sometimes the device stops working, doesn't respond to the power key, or softreset (display al black)it is needed to remove the battery.

well, its just a few clicks ( 3 actually) more, a very minor extra minute not a big thing trivial speck compared to having a wm6-enabled BA
no problem
I see no problem in WM6 by Helmi. This is great! Thanks a lot. This is perfect.
- phone doesn't work sometimes ("R" and "G" are "NONE") after softreset --> another softreset *immediately* after "R NONE" and "G NONE" appear.
the ROM is actually super great, it is just that we want to make it greater
also, it would be actually very nice if there was some sort of a power-saving fix-
i use a 2400MAH battery but it is hardly doing 2 days in wm6, while it used to survive for 5 days on wm2003

after soft reset or after removing the battery? this always happen to me since wm5 whenever i remove the battery... after seeing R and G values as zero, just SR again.

Hide SIM contacts
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
Key: ShowSim (dWord)
Value: 0 = hide
1 = show
This will hide sim contacts from showing in contacts list.
Backlight on battery power keep on changing to 0 automatically. Don't know what is causing it, disabling PhoneAlarm to see if it help.

Found the problem, hold on the power button for a couple of seconds while turning it off.
i found a bug, when you arei n the sms and you press options and selected "mark all as read" option.. youll get the new connection thingie instead..... anyone has a fix?
Add contacts
Love the wm6 rom! Works great but ive noticed that i can not add a contact. I can add a contact to my sim but not to my BA. And my BA wont allow me to take the contact from my sim or my call history and add it to my device. Weird. But just thought id add that to the list. I LOVE WM6!
I'm using Duttys ROM so obviously HD Tweak and Advanced Config don't work 100%
One of the main issues I have is that I want the Data Connection to close if inactive for 10 seconds. I used to be able to do this but the change in manila seems to be presenting new problems
Is there a change that I can make in the registry to alter how long the connection remains open?
Thanks
P.S. Are there any tweak programs for the new manila yet?
if you click the "menu" in advanced config app, click "more settings" click "connections" that is what youre looking for.

The only thing not working in Advanced Config is the "TouchFLO 3D" part, everything else works fine.
Advanced Config seems to have done the business - thanks!
What about Modaco NoData ? Isn' t working ? Any inputs ?

It does work (by not letting applications auto start GPRS).
But even you have disabled GPRS connection, when you open it manual through Comm Manager, it starts normally
I don't want to disable it - I can do that myself
I figured out the problem wasn't with tweaking but because I had Hotmail set to receive emails as they arrive. Logically, that means the connection has to be open all the time.
I set it to sync every 1 hour and now it's fine; the GPRS connection closes if it's inactive for 10 seconds
Hi,
another little tool by me. This time it is to toggle between 3G and GPRS. Basically it does the same as if you click on the 3G button in the CommManager.
The main usage would be in scripts or through a shortcut as it has no GUI and toggles it quite fast.
History:
v1.0
initial release
Will this toggle between Auto and GSM modes or we can choose WCDMA (3G) only, too?
command line?
Hi
Thanks for this application. Good idea. I'll test it out.
Does this support command line functions, such as switching from "Auto" in the band page to "GSM" or "WCDMA"? If not, can this be implemented?
Many thanks

I only tested it on my GSM device. So I can't say if it will work for CDMA devices.

There are no commandline parameters yet.

Doesn't work on my 614c, either. Too bad, looks like a neat app.

Those apps are fine, but they do much more than what this does and have UIs, which are unnecessary if you just want something to use in ThrottleLauncher or UltimateLaunch. I think this is a great tool - I just wish it worked for a non-HTC phone.
Nice little app. Very useful to launch from Programs in TF3D...

WCDMA is 3G, not CDMA... Stupid name but whatever...
This will be a great tool for use in scripts. Problem with toggling, tho, is that in order to get what you want, you have to know the current state. I would really appreciate some basic CL parms like -3Gon and -3Goff
I would like to use your application to change the status of the 3G connection through a button that run the program, and I would like the icon button changes depending on the state of the 3G connection.
Place where the register is saved the state of the 3G connection?
Sorry for my english.
Very nice program. Does exactly what it should.
But it has no icon yet. Will there be one in the future?
Indeed, an icon would be nice.

Fail on Tilt 2
I tried this on my Tilt 2 and it seems to only change the toggle in the commmanager, but it doesn't seem to change my actual connection.
Hi MarcLandis,
thank you for sharing this with us so we can test it. So please read my...
Report:
i have tested toggle 3g on my phone (signature). What i have seen is that in the taskbar the icon is changing from 3g to flight mode and back when i use the exe again.
But when i use the hardware phone button i can take normal phone calls without the code popup and the icon is changing from flight mode to 3g. When i close the phone app the deafault 3g icon stays allways.
So i think it is not working on my HD2.
Installing WkTask seems to disable the WM6.5 start menu on my Tilt 2. The Windows button no longer works, and the start button does not work either. Has anyone else noticed this, or is there a known workaround? I needs mah task switcher!
wktask doesnt seem to work good in wm6.5, so work around is not to use it LOL

Any suggestions for an alternative that makes it easy to switch between running programs (and doesn't need a hard-key)? WkTask puts the "Windows" in "Windows Mobile".
I'm using iss Task Switcher
i have them both coexisting. Occasionally I lose the start menu, but very rarely
This bug's been bothering me since switching to 6.5 too.
I've been trying to isolate the Start Menu process so I can add it to the WkTask exclusions - but haven't yet found it...
Anyone else looked at this - or any chefs know what the Start Menu's exe is named?
WkTask is a great app, but I can't stand losing the start menu
THIS worked for me.
Just add \Windows\Shell32.exe to the exclusion list.
for me wktask worked good on all wm6.5 builds even on 6.5.1 it works good the only problem is its not transparent so i'm forced to set black top...

That's something completely different... I can't close the start menu, because I can't even GET TO the start menu. The start icon in the top left stops working, and the Windows hardware button stops working.
Maybe it's something specific to the Tilt 2?

At the risk of "me too" me too! And also I use Smartwatchm which and the combination seem to make a slow phone :-(
hi all. after installing turkish language cab, my start menu lock icon seems like start button icon. it happens only wm6.5.x roms. doesnt happen wm6.5 roms.
is there any way to change it via registy or something else?
here is the screen shot:
no. thats the way 6.5.x is. if you want start button up, install 6.5... the performance is basically the same(not a fact, i just think so)...
actually it wasnt that i asked. i just get back to wm6.5. thanks anyway.
