Hey guys, I've been following this for a while and thought I would share my experience. I'm using an 8125 on cingular and summiter's test1 rom. I've had a few issue (not complaining, just putting it out there) I'm only running smartskey and voice command.

1)Sometimes my phone won't wake up... it goes into standby and no amount of pointing and proding at the buttons will wake it up. The only recourse is to use the stylus and the reset button. Nor will it wake up when calls are recieved or actually not recieved.

2)I did install smartskey to the storage card and now I get a message that it cant' find the file. (if I reinsert the card it temporarily fixes it) Well, it seems that the storage card is disapeering (wasn't an issue with the 2.17 rom) I've read this has been an issue with people in the past, but I haven't really read up on it.. again.. just putting it out there.

3) I also found that I only had the timezone issue when I sync'd with my computer. Now the fact that I am from Indiana... that made it much more confusing.

4)I also found that it didn't brown my toast as evenly as I would have liked.

Ok that's helpful information. Unfortunately I'm not sure how helpful I can be in my reply. I have a WRT54G here that I connect to fine, although I have Sveasoft firmware on it at the moment. Does your device get an IP address from your wireless router? If so, perhaps you're running into the proxy oddness - switch your connection from "My ISP" to "MediNet", disable the proxy, and then switch back to "My ISP" and see if that helps. Also, try setting your power mode to "Best Performance". One more thing - which encryption protocol do you use?

As a test, can you remove or at least disable any of the programs you have installed that have a Today Screen item? See if that helps with the messaging problem. If it does, it could be that one of the apps is misbehaving - see of others report the problem on other devices at the software providers website.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
No everything looks good there - the ROM date is the date it was originally built by the source carrier.

Well, since you have a fresh device right about now, see if you can relate your messaging button issue to your apps - install one, test for awhile, install the next, etc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Phoney:
I think you're referring to me... Ok, the only software I've installed is "SmartSKey."

I'll remove it and see if the problem goes away.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:

Everything else seems to work great: wifi, etc... For some reason I can only sync with usb to the mail2web exchange server and not through the wireless push-mail solution. I keep getting an error code now.

Any help appreciated. I have the cingular 8125 w/ the this thread's latest rom. My phone is both CID and SIM unlocked by the loki 3.0 program (worked like a dream in Aruba)

ok heres the problem. i reflashed and before i ran any programs or installed any apps, i clicked on the calender softkey and it opened. however, when I went to the softkey button under settings>system and tried to change the softkeys, the link to the calender no longer worked.

also, I've got wifi working pefectly now. I'll see what else is going on.

EDIT: and now i cant even run WeatherPanel. oof
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Ack. You're right. The softkey applet is hardcoded to look for HTCCalendar.exe. Attached is the calendar app renamed - put it in your Windows directory as a short term fix. I'm fixing the softkey applet now and I'll either rebuild and upload the ROM or wait a couple days to see if Cingular pops a new release. I thought I tested all the remappings done by that applet but I guess not..sorry about that.

there is a reg fix for this ..

i forget the exact path but it is either key 12 or 13 just rename HTCCalendar.exe to calendar.exe..

i did this with total commander it saves on soft reset as well.

Everything works great on this upgrade except that I have no speed dial #1 to dial voicemail. There does not seem to be a way to manually insert the number in the #1 slot either. The choices given for manual insertion is 2 or greater. I have to either dial the number manually or wait for someone to leave me amessage and use the "Voicemail" key presented. A small price to pay for the vast improvement in in performance and functionality. Any thoughts to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

This does not seem to be a ROM issue. I have been running 2.17 for some time, and just in the past few days has the OTA Push quit working with Mail2Web. It syncs fine with a wired or BT ActiveSync. And yes, disabling SSL seems to fix the problem, but I am not happy with that. But it certainly appears that this is not a 2.3 problem.

UPDATE:Just got a reply e-mail from mail2web support and they are aware of the issue and working on it. They will send an e-mail when resolved but are suggesting the temporary fix of disabling SSL.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Phoney:
Try this:

Open Phone app (the dialer)

Tap Menu -> Options

Tap Services -> Voice Mail and Text Messages

Tap Get Settings...

This should pull your Voice Mail and Text Message phone numbers from the Cingular Network, and the Speed Dialer *should* display them correctly now.

Let us know if it works.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
That will correct the dorking that the softkey applet creates, but if it gets remapped again by the applet it will break. I'll either add HTCCalendar.exe to the next ROM or fix the applet. =)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] the blues:
im running the newest cingular 2.25 rom. I think its a gprs/edge issue. Perhaps a reg hack/fix to autmatically disconnect edge/gprs when making a call would stop this from happening. At around 4 minutes, calls drop and the grps/edge disconnects and switches to regular phone service. That seems to be the cause of these problems.

Phone Feedback

I have an 8125 which I updated to the 2.3 firmware. Worked fine, including Wifi, except that now there is a great deal of feedback between the microphone and the speaker, so you can get a squeal during a call-very annoying. Has anyone else had this problem, or is there a registry adjustment of the microphone level(I tried the agc)?

You are correct sir! You won't get any feedback when you click one of those links, but it does indeed OC to the stated speed. It will stay overclocked until you put the device in standby.

Fantastic ROM! Thanks a million, summiter

I have the Cingular 8125. Flashed it last Sunday, and it is fantastic. WiFi works wherever I want, BlueTooth works, the whole phone is faster, better reception, everything about the phone is better. Thanks a million, summiter!

Only question I have is, now that I've decided what ringtones and themes I want to use, where can I delete stuff to save a bit of program and storage memory? I have a bunch of programs installed, and I'm running out, even though I have everything on the storage card that I can put there.

Many thanks again, summiter, and everybody else who has contributed to this great upgrade!

I am experiencing the dropped call problem. Ahh! It's intermitent, but typically it will drop about 1:40-3minutes into a call. What to do??? Also, I find that since I changed to this ROM that it hangs up alot, and I'm not talking about calls, but going between menus and switching from portrait to landscape the screen will partially change, but then parts will not as well. I think I might go back to the ROM that HTC has on their site untill a more stable ROM is released.

I've had the TEST2 rom installed for 5 days now, the battery life seemed to be draining at an acceptible pace (15% or so per day when just using as a phone).

I don't have any programs running off the SD card, and the only additional program I have running all the time is smartskey (installed on device not SD).

So, I charge the phone up yesterday afternoon while it's syncing with the computer, I drive home for the evening, don't make any phone calls, chat via MSN Messenger for approx 30 minutes with a buddy using Cingular's Edge network, play a few games of that bubble game that comes with the PPC, then I reboot the phone, check the battery (says 89%) and soft power it off for the night.

The next morning the phone is off completely, I power it up and get the battery notification that the battery is almost drained.

What gives? What could cause the phone to drain (after a reboot) from 89% to 0% in 8 hours or so?

Again, the only 3rd party app running on this device is smartskey and it's running in main storage, not SD. Other than that, nothing else is installed that wasn't included with the TEST2 ROM.

Missing some things.

I recently updated to the AKU 2.3. In the description it mentioned added themes and Omap Clock but i have not been able to find those items on my Cingular 8125. Also I was able to install the ROM without CID or SIM Unlocking it. So far the ROM is phenomenal. I work for Cingular and got tired of hearing the release date getting pushed further and further out.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] paschott:
Re: Missing some things.

Just checking - you were able to update to one of the ROMs posted in this thread without unlocking --From the Cingular 8125-- (not some other brand which I'm pretty sure would require the SIM/CID unlock)?

I'd love to be able to just upgrade without downgrading first, unlocking, then upgrading - more for the time savings as I'm generally strapped to get 1/2 an hour free at a time to run this and then re-install everything.

Thanks.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Re: Missing some things.

Sorry but you didn't do the upgrade correctly or else you'd see thos items. You MUST unlock your phone, probably have to downgrade to Button's 1.05 if you've got a recent 8125, then redo the upgrade if you want a true AKU 2.3 ROM. Right now it's not. (You can look at the ROM versions and you'll see that not all of the upgrades completed)

Sometimes no missed calls or vmail

Anyone else have this problem?

I'll have people tell me they called me and left me a voicemail but on my 8125 I show no missed calls or voice mail. They said the phone rang 6 times like it normally does and then went to voicemail.

This was never a problem on the stock rom or 2.17... it just started happening with this ROM. It seems to happen after the phone has been sleeping for a long time too (30 minutes or more).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bluetoothless:
Summiter, Doc, any suggestions with the following. At one point or another I have had most of the "Official" and custom ROMs running on my Cingular 8125 with some more successful than others. The best luck has been with Cingular's 2.25 and adding zoki's A2DP. Even then I had to realign the screen 2-3 times daily until uninstalling the add on cab.

All the while I never CID unlocked the 8125. During several previous attempts and currently, the install of this custom 2.23 ROM hangs at 98%. I have had success installing this ROM before, but probably due to not CID unlocking all of the proper A2DP profiles didn't show up when I connected my Pulsar 590a. I have since successfully unlocked the unit and after four attempts I continue to hang at 98% on the device and the computer will reach 99% and once 100%, but with no change on the 8125's status. Any clues or cues?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
It may hang an unusally long time at 98%. When it gets to 98%, go make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, make a glass of chocolate milk, water the cactus, and eat. When you are done eating, the flash will have completed. Honest.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Not if what's posted on the HTC site (when the file is fixed) is the ROM Cingular plans to inflict on their customers!

Actually, yeah, I'll be working on a new AKU 2.3 release. I'm pruning and shearing and shrinking the extended ROM cabs. I'm also going to update the themes, since the oregami themes don't look very perdy with the one line date/time. I haven't decided which radio to use - likely the good 2.25, or perhaps even 2.17. I'll finally have CF2 all up in there too.

I wish some carrier would get an AKU 2.5 ROM built...not that AKUs 2.2-2.3 were all that bad from an OS perspective, but at least it will feel like there's something new and exciting..

mmm. waaaffles.

Anyway... if you are in a mood to take requests as you work on your new ROM.. is it possible to get one without the extra themes/ringers since I (and hopefully some other people) never end up using them but can't delete them since they are part of the ROM? Something along the lines of the Mr. Clean perhaps with the other pieces as add-ons?

Please take this as a respectful request and not a random *****, given how much work I am sure you put into these in return for no more than a few thanks and a lot of criticism and stupid questions when there are problems!

BTW, what is CF2 and what is new in AKU 2.5?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
CF2 is "C"ompact .Net "F"ramework "2" (however the compact and .net might be out of order...). As for AKU 2.5, basically WM5.2.5, unknown as to what is new, they're just working on it. The rumor mill keeps trying to get MS VC in there, instead of the crappy voice tagged one, but the evil empire despises waffles and wishes to charge extra!

As for working on the new AKU with MSFP (think i got that acronym right), I'm definately looking forward to it. Perhaps there's a fix for poor ol' me's pre-n router issues? I'm just short of submitting a question to HTC about that - I'm sure their response would be "Q.11n isn't standardised so piss off kid with 8125!"

Ahh, I can only dream of waffles... but what if it could do crepes and an english muffin!? wow... That'll be the day!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
Wouldn't be Cingular; and also HTC is not a US based company, even though the site is hosted in AZ (which is why we go to htcamerica - but the main site really is htc.com.tw) - so they're actually a day ahead of us according to them.

Anyhow, yeah, 39.1 mb seems kinda small, and I will not be installing this file - anyone care to point me in a direction to pick this sucker apart just to play with it? I'm guessing the file I need to play with is the nb.nbf after changing this sucker to a .zip - but that's only a guess.

I'm sure summiter is furiously working on those waffles by now, so as always I'll await a summiter response - let us all know of the new topic to all swarm to there friend! we shall all move like the people who watch golfers on the course - herding around from hole to hole - only we're following the promised land of the 8125!

BTW - looks like they're using the 2.25 cingular radio - which I had no doubts - seems that they think its solid.
