Wow, this new ROM sucks. I hope Cingular/HTC is monitoring this thread. It'll give them plenty of bugs to fix before release.

Listen dumdum, I was just making a general observation based on the dropped call issue raised by Cameron, along with the numerous other issues raised in this thread.

If you want to know what the specific issues are, why don't you stop playing with yourself for a second and read this thread.

I'm not going to do your thinking for you and spoonfeed you all the known issues.

ROM is ok by me

I'm running the quasi-official cingular release, not the one massaged by summiter. I just tested making a 20 minute phone call and it didn't drop at all. I even tried to initiate ActiveSync while I was still on the call and it told me I had to hang up the call first before it could sync (someone had speculated the OTA sync was causing calls to drop). I'm not saying the rom is perfect but definitely a good upgrade from the ROM that Cingular shipped it with.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] warwickwebb:
Re: ROM is ok by me

Just out of curiosity - are you able to ActiveSync successfully with a PC? (not an exchange server). Several of us have had problems with ActiveSync.

Thanks...........

S.U.C.K.S. super usable cool kwik stable

In that case, it SUCKS for me too. :shock: :wink:

Just like to add that I like summiters previous release too, but I feel the need to try (and by try I mean for a lengthy period of time) any new release, plus I NEED the e-mail vibration notification.

Too bad there is no "V" (for vibration) in SUCKS. I suppose I could have said shaky, but that sound unstable :P

I haven't been having any of those issues reported either. I also don't have any active sync issues.

There is so much stuff in the extended ROM that loads, I have a feeling that's where a lot of the problems are coming from. Does everybody really need all that crap? I just loaded the bare-bones ROM, made the needed registry edits and put in the correct GPRS and MMS settings. So far it's been rock solid and faster than ever.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] fgro:
why does this ROM sucks to all of you people?

I am using the PUSH function pretty well and i overclock my device several times without getting a reboot. I dont know what you guys doing with your device but this ROM from summiter works pretty good. Didn't experienced any issues except the FONT! It's kinda awful how the font looks like at the CommManager so if there would be a fix i would appreciate it!

Looking forward for any improvements and hopefully the PUSH functionallity come out without summiters fix.

I am using the unmodified 2.25 ROM, and I have synced with my PC from usb and BT without incident. I have not experienced dropped calls either. Maybe the problems are third party related...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] warwickwebb:
Possible solution for ActiveSync problem

For anyone who has an issue with ActiveSync hanging on "Looking for changes":

After installing the 2.25 ROM I switched my default network from 'My ISP' to 'MediaNet'. (Connections / Advanced / Select Networks / Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: ).

I just switched it back to 'My ISP' and ActiveSync now works without any issues. No idea why that is at this point. It makes sense that it is some kind of network issue, because when AS hangs on "Looking for changes" it is actually trying to open a network connection to the device.

Sirius?

Whats up guys, I have been following this site for months now, and and a week specifically on this thread.

I have tested/tried every rom here. Personally, I have had the best luck with the 2.25 ROM with out customizations. As aot of people here have, when running the 2.25 "beta" version, I experienced issues with the different fonts in Comm Manager, E-mail accounts would dissapear shortly after installation of Xpress mail and one Pop3 account I have, I seemed to have to soft reset numerous times throughout the day. Most of those were because the phone would not receive any signal, or was very slow to when coming in and out of cell coverage. My biggest issue, as petty as it is, was that when scrolling your contacts at a rate when just the first letter scrolls, when I would pick my contact the phone was 20 contacts behind. Like it just didnt keep up. I have since reverted back to the stock 2.25 ROM and all problems are gone.

It seems that people replying in this thread are pretty damn smart with this 8125. Has anybody been able to listen to a satellite radio account (Sirius or XM) through its website on your 8125 while either connected to Wi-Fi or Edge? Is this possible? I have tried each satellite, and cant get either to work.

Re: Sirius?

If you have an account with Sirius, you can use this

It works great and streams through WMP. Just be sure you have an unlimited data account before you use it.

Re: Sirius?

You know what, I just realized today I had this problem as well when I accidentally called the wrong person. It worked OK if I was only scrolling to the letter E or so, but when I went as far as T, as soon as I selected the contact, it would open up a different contact at "C".

So then I realized I had installed the PPCContactsMgr.cab file from summiter's ROM. I thought it would add some neat functionality, but it turns out to be cause of the problem. As soon as I uninstalled it, the scrolling problem is gone.

So I guess the bottom line is do not install all that extra stuff in the extended ROM if you want a stable device!

Although I have not really had any issues with activesync, or anything for that matter, its been pretty stable in the 2 or 3 days I have been using it, however, not everything appears to be working.

I can no longer assign mp3's as ringtones (via file manager), not a big deal as I can copy them to the windows\ring folder, however they do not play. Additionally, also related to the mp3's not working, when setting the phone to vibrate and ring and selecting any of the default ring tones that do work, the tones play, but instead of the device vibrating every second or whatever its time is, it vibrates continuously while the phone is ringing.. and draining the battery extremely fast. I noticed a slow down till I did a soft reset, clocked it to 240, and made the wifi changes, although I have not really used the wifi due to the incredibly long keys I use, I have secured wireless, and its a pain to setup.

Multiple networks - why?

Just out of curiosity - why is there a 'My ISP' network and a 'MediaNET' network? This was not the case in the previous Cingular ROM.

They both have identical settings - although 'My ISP' does not have a proxy tab.

Also, switching from 'My ISP' to 'MediaNET' causes ActiveSync to stop working.

I also have not figured out how to remove the message sent confirmation for text messaging. The weird thing is, that only until after somebody responds to my message, do I get the "message sent" confirmation from my initial message. Has anybody else had this problem?

to help your texting problems

you are having problems with your text messages sending doubles are you using a program that closes you text message program after you send each text because you need to allow it to remain running in the backgroud that is why you are not getting the message sent notification till after the person sends you a return text and the reason they are getting doubles because you close the texting program while it is still sending the text halfway and it sends it and you close it right after its sent but never recieves its message sent so when the program reopens to recieve the new text message it sends it again to show the message sent notification to itself and if you want to find information on disabling you message sent notification go to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other

and scroll down to where it states disable the sms notification you must use a registry editing program to do this such as totalcommander or resco registry editor hope this helps

Re: Multiple networks - why?

ActiveSync doesn't work even if you turn off the proxy settings for MediaNET. The only way to get it working is to switch to 'My ISP'. Whereas with the old ROM, I had my network set to 'MediaNET' and ActiveSync worked just fine.

My experiences so far on QTEK 9100:

I was using the QTEk 9100 2.8.7.1 beta for a long time. I tried this ROM and have to say that so far, it is much faster not only with boot time but with actual use. I have loaded all of fav apps on it that I had before and they are running much faster and smoother. This is only day 2 so a little early to say for sure, but I think this is the best one yet for me. I haven't had a single issue yet (crossing fingers).

Guys,

I've been running the vanilla ROM on 4 8125s, and 8 8100s since I uploaded it. It seems to be no buggier than the earlier releases.

That said, I haven't put on Summiter's release (haven't had a chance, memorial day and all). I will this weekend...I like the ringers and themes etc..... :D

Here's some things that I've noticed since then:

*Battery life is a little bit weaker than with 2.17

*Some email oddities in the Outlook client (phantom numbers on the tree view)

*some PC activesync oddness (thankfully I only rely on Push email and wireless links)

*This one is really weird: If you look at the R-NDIS host properties, the IP address is blank, with a subnet mast of 255.255.255.0 ?????? I reset it to just DHCP.

The benefits so far:

*vibrate while sleeping email notification!!!!!!!!!!!

*WIFI and GPRS stay connected simultaneously without any issues (no more having to manually wake up GPRS after device goes to sleep)

Tata for now...

I really hate the stock dialer skin and have been using lew's and pauly's and that dialer proggy really seems to screw it up. I've never had a need to change the stock splash screens and what not but that cingular dialer screen is tha pits!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
I've been casualy looking into the smart dialing thing. It tends to break all of the nice phone pad skins unless someone takes the time to hack in a version that will work with said skin. Very irritating because I want smart dialing and nice big buttons on the dialer. I'll look into it more soon. If nothing else, I suppose I can remove smart dialing and let folks decide what they want to do.

I haven't checked it out much, but from what I can tell the newer version of ClearviewPDF which is in the 2.25 and later ROMs works well with V7 of PDFs. I'll check that out more as well.

So is this Summiter's new ROM with AKU2.3?

I went to this link: ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Wizard/ROMS/

and saw a new ROM dated 6/3 7:20 AM. Is this the latest and greatest that Summiter was referring to above?

I had updated to 2.17 when I first got my 8125 without doing a CID unlock. Will I need to do an unlock this time around in order to upgrade to this one or Cingular's official ROM release when it comes out?

If so, is there a link that tells us what to do to unlock property? I looked at a rather lengthy thread that started with This does not work with 2.21 or later and stopped in my tracks.

I take it I better save any settings for the programs that allow me to do so as I will be reloading everyone of them, post upgrade.

Thanks and sorry for the stupid pet trick questions but everything has been going smoothly with 2.17, I don’t want to screw things up with the next update.

Re: So is this Summiter's new ROM with AKU2.3?

That's sumitter's new one alright. And, yes that lenghty thread is where I'd suggest you start first. (Just follow faria's inial instructions and you'll be fine... you don't need to read the whole thread unless you want some light reading while waiting for your ROM to complete it's downgrade to button's 1.5 / unlock CID, etc and then ... finally upgrade to AKU 2.3

Good luck!
