If your dualsim card uses the Sim ToolKit (STK) to change network providers, then no, unfortunatelly it will not work under WM5.

Upgrade issue

I have an m2000 and since putting WM5 on it it hasn't been all that bad....

I also unlocked mine and use a tmobile sim in it.

Only probs i get are....

Will not save new account settings for my email accounts if the device is soft reset.?

Sometimes will not connect to gprs for msn messenger/email etc unless i run the .cab file for tmobile gprs contract settings yet again :(

Very buggy in other places, power button when i turn the device on isn't very responsive sometimes.

Run's quite slow in places.

Apart from that it's not too bad.

WM5 Problems

OK, I've been using WM5 for some time and have found the following nagging problems which I just can't seem to fix:

1) The bluetooth not coming back on after suspend (I know this is a known issue but just thought I'd post it again in case someone had found a fix) - on this issue though, I've noticed that the bluetooth radio doesn't actually turn off - it's more an issue with the handsfree portion turning off or the ability for other devices to discover the BA is turned off as the blue light continues to flash when turning back on from suspend - does this little tidbit help anyone in finding a fix?????

2) When switching batteries, some of the passwords and settings are lost. Specifically, my GPRS connection password (but not the username or other settings), my bluetooth device connections (the actual devices are still listed but none of them will connect again unless I delete them and then add them back in again anew), and any new mail account added (like Yahoo) with the exception of Hotmail are all deleted (so I'm just left with the default Outlook and Text Messages accounts and Hotmail).

3) Whenever my Yahoo account is deleted, I cannot add it back with the same name as it says "an account with the same name already exits." I've searched through the registry (both in plain English and in hexadecimal) for the account name but it's simply not there - does anyone know where the messaging program stores the names of the accounts you have????? This is quite annoying as now I'm having to add back in "Yahoo5" for example everytime I switch batteries.

Any suggestions on how to fix these remaining bugs would be greatly appreciated.

Just Installed WM5 to my PDA2K

Hi Everyone...

Amazing programming from many ppl here enabled us to install and experience WM5 on our BA devices...Anyways having some problems with my device and just wanna check if anyone has any solutions:

1. Sometimes when I switch on my IMATE (Not Softreset!) after sometime (Like 30 mins or so) I see that Outlook is running and it takes some time fo r it to close after pressing the X.

2. Having a problem with he hardware keyboard making mistakes during typing and also delay. Have read abt this on forums but just thought to add it as a record.

3. Syncing with Activesync is very slow though hassle free. Also the phone gives an error everytime when synced "Could not obtain IP address from the PC"? Any Help?

4. Can I use MP3s as ringtones? Plz help me on this one?

Any more issues I will be sure to get back.....

Thanks once again!!

These are settings on the PPC 2003 that may help with WM5 BT

Windows Pocket PC 2003 Yuk!

I purchased a Seimens SX66 and right away put WM5.0 and loved it, however my Bluetooth would turn off after some time and when I hit the power button. This really sucks b/c I use a Bluetooth headset.

Wifi Problems

I did upgrade on my PDA2K to WM2005 and radio 1.13 After some time I tried to use Wifi and with not much of success. I don't know whether the problem is because of the radio change or the WM2005. I've been reading a lot trough the forums but nothing like my problem has appeared.

Here is it:

Wifi starts up and shows the available network and connects to it, after two second it disconnects and then connect again - it goes on like that forever. In the network cards-> the available network changes constantly its status from connecting to connected and all over again. If I try to ping the IP of my device - no reply or a few replies and a few drops.

If someone has an idea what it might be case, help will be appreciated. I don't want to go back to WM2003 or another Radio since noone has reported this issue with the current versions I have. It's just very weird.

Thanks

Workaround: Lost Account Settings

if you are missing some pop3 mail accounts after hardreset and you can´t create new one because the message app complains about already existing names, you can use the email-Wizard-app from the ger t-mobile extended rom (1.42). This app will ignore the corrupted data in cemail.vol and you can reanimate the lost account.

Here is an update to my findings regarding BT and the power button.

I noticed in the registry: hklm\system\state\hardware is see 'Bluetooth with the value of 0 as well as Handsfree=0 and Cradled=0

When I check to enable Bluetooth this value changes to 1.

When I turn off the unit and turn it back on the value changes back to 0

I tried removing the Bluetooth dword to see what would happen and the dword entry was recreated after I hit the power button.

I then tried deleting the hardware key all together and the key was restored.

Is there a relation between a driver or the power button changing the 'hardware' key to default values of 0?

Is there a way to set the registry entry and prevent it from being changed?

2 Problems with WM5 e-mail account DB & ActiveSync 4.1

I had to do a Hard Reset and everything came back except my two e-mail accounts. The problem is that they still exist in the cemail.vol DB but pocket outlook doesn't acknowledge them unless I try to re-create them and then it complains about the name already existing.

PocketBreeze 5.0 can see the accounts but they are not updating (I guess becuase POutlook ignores them). Are there any tools that will allow me to delete these accounts? I have tried using the e-Mail Wizard from the German t-Mobile Rom and it doesn't complain about the name instead it just adds a number to the end of the sccount name which leaves the ignored accounts there.

As for ActiveSTINK 4.1, I have to re-install it every time I want to connect (and then even reboot or it still don't work). I get this error "Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP Address." on both my SX-66 and the laptop when trying to use USB. Ironically both get IP addresses and I've tried hardcoding the IPs so the error goes away but AS still can't connect (unless I uninstall, install and reboot). I've even tried Bluetooth Sync and it just hangs at "Connecting" like the USB does..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Update on my two issues....

ActiveSTINK 4.1 is now working and I can't figure out why!! I guess the M$ Gods decided they liked me after I spent so much time on this over the weekend.

I fixed the e-mail account issue by reformating my storage after a hard reset (yeah, drastic I know but it really was that annoying)...

To safeguard for the future, I have acquired and installed SunnySoft Backup Manager which is much faster than xBackup ever was and seems to get everything (even cemail.vol). I was backing-up daily before and will simply continue the pratice.

Has anyone here ever restored from a backup made using SunnySoft? I'd love to hear how well it went (or didn't)...

@joychui:

can you describe your problem more exactly? If you just see the Name of the Messaging Account on the upper taskbar and the menu softkeys of the messaging app but nothing in between (just your today-screen), there is a workaround: This only happens, if you try to open this app by softkey. Open it by tapping Start/Programme/Messaging or by Start Menu (in standard settings there must be a link) - after you did this for one time, any way of starting the application will work normal. This is a crazy bug, but it occures not very often.

Did this help you?

latest BT radio and "patch" but still BT turns off

any advice on this? this is on SX66 device.

my apologies. apparently I did not have the latest patch. I re-downloaded BT fix 1.1 and BT now appears to be staying on.

/sigh....i lied again. it is not actually working. bluetooth is still turning off. One note I will add is that it appears to have broken again when I installed SPB pocket plus v3. I will do further testing. BT appeared to be working, and stayed on for upwards of 20 minutes but after installing pocket plus 3 it seems to be broken again. =(. no BT is a real showstopper for me as I use this phone in the car a lot. thanks for any help/advice.

automatically. I can be in the middle of a call, using my BT headset and suddenly BT just goes away.

hmmm... so i guess with all these problems with the current status of the wm 5.0 upgrade (at least the one here) it's not really worth it to upgrade (not yet anyway) until all these bugs are ironed out. for one thing i need my bt headset and my bt gps receiver to be active all the time whenever im using them. to the people who contributed to the current version of wm 5.0 we have right now, keep up the great work and best of luck... you guys rule! we are definitely headed in the right direction.

@wurdipus

did you uninstall your spb pocket plus yet and tried the patch? how's your bt? still turns off automatically?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tikerz:
If you need to use BT for GPS don't you have the unit active all the time anyways? Just set the PDA not to turn off after a few minutes then BT won't turn off.

Fortunately, I don't use mine for a GPS or need to use a bluetooth headset and I'm loving WM5 right now. It's so much better than WM2003.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Nookie 3:16®:
one question though, how is the processor performance? which blue angel variant are you using? coz i read somewhere that the siemens sx66 kinda suffers from slowdown after wm 5.0 upgrade. i mean it's not like i just want to upgrade so my pda would be "cooler" than everybody else's at the cost of performance and reliability. you told me to disable the suspend / standby function so bt wouldn't turn off? that would seriously eat battery power, and im not always near a charger or my car so that would not work for me... thanks for the tip anyway. wm 5.0 better than 2003 se? kindly elaborate the differences... from what you've experienced anyway.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tikerz:
I meant for the GPS functionality in the car. You can set on external power how many minutes before standy/suspend. Just set that to never. You do connect the PDA to car power while using GPS in the car, right?

Won't work for BT headset all day long since, yes it will drain battery power.

I'm using an SX66 with Cingular.

Persistent storage is a great feature in WM2005 that should have been in WM2003. When the battery completely drains, you won't lose all your information. I like the new look and notifications better than WM2003. You can FINALLY turn WiFi and BT on and off as you wish without having to reset your device. That was SO annoying in WM2003. I use Xpressmail from Cingular for push mail. WM2005 will notify me when I've received new email. I couldn't get WM2003 to do that for me so I had to resort to a third party application like PhoneAlarm to monitor my Xpressmail inbox. Speed as good or better than 2003 IMO. No problems with that. The phone application is WAY better. You can jot down a note from the phone application while you are on the phone and it will record when and who you are speaking to in the note. Programs written for WM2005 all work great. You will have to decide what is important for you. If you don't like it, you could always revert back to WM2003. Hope this helps.
