Not so well unluckily :(

Soon after your PM, this morning, i downloaded the new file (actually the one i thought was the NEW file), installed it and hard resetted the phone.

Bam! the problem is still there: i hear a sound when it's installing the wm5storage.cab and then the ext-rom installation hangs.

Can you pls check that the file you put online (the revised one) has been correctly updated on the FTP server?

I have no more the first file you published so i cannot check whether i downloaded the revised file or the first, buggy, one.

Bye Bye and thanks for all your effort!!!

I noticed in this ROM the Link for WMP is missing. Had to create on for the progam lists.

Greetings All,

1.8.11 WWE (stock) to AKU2.3 (editied GMT -8 11:30 6/5)

I decided to give myself a full three days of hard usage on the new rom before I posted some issues (good and bad) with this new rom.

First off, THANK GOD THAT ANNOYING MESSAGE SENT NOTIFICATION IS GONE!... jesus that was annoying before I found the registry hack, and in this its default off... THANK YOU!

Vibe/sleep - that is almost worthy of replacing my first born child... almost.

WiFi - BLOWS! I can't get my PDA to connect to a WiFi network if my life depended on it... it searches, finds, attempts an IP, DROPS. This is with BT on or off, and with different types of routers (Belkin Pre-N, Linksys SRX100, Linksys G-old school). Tried it on all performance settings. I cannot get this thing to retrive an IP and get online for the life of me, and I have no other explanation besides the ROM on this, or perhaps the LEAP problem I read about earlier.

Boot Time - down from 2m12s to 49s - wow what an improvement!

Battery Life - uhh... I don't think its any better, and actually I may be thinking its a little worse, but that could be because I was attempting to get this stupid thing to get WiFi going... and it refused.

Device Responsiveness - Absolutely faster! Menu selections, confirmations, entries, program entry and exit, the phone handles a lot faster than the stock rom (which I upgraded from).

That weird screen problem with the TODAY themes that someone took a picture of - with the fading at the top and sometimes the bottom, I'm getting that too on all themes EXCEPT the windows mobile theme, and the cingular theme. Kind of annoying - fix?

Those are my hit and miss landings. Haven't had any call problems yet - signal seems fine (Cingular, California - Bay Area), infact just went out to some remote areas near Sacramento the other day and it reported full bars nearly every time I checked the phone.

If someone can help me out with the WiFi problem, that would be great - I use to have wifi and BT on full time, and able to browse the net nearly everyplace, but now I can't use my wifi in the phone anymore - kind of a pill and would like to get it back.

(editied 2 times: +themes issue, +2.25 changed to AKU 2.3)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Stangs55:
Well I'm actually typing this from 8125 and am sad to report that while this seems to be the fastest rom out there (and very stable), my signal problems just won't go away. In the middle of Houston I'm getting dropped calls and less bars than I had with 2.17 or 2.25. I honestly dont't think it's any worse than the stock 1.8 rom's signal...but that was horrible in the first place and almost caused me to switch carriers before I found this place :) . So I tried, but it's back to 2.17 for me. ;(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Wrong thread for the 2.25 Rom. This thread is for Summiter's Custom Rom that is based on the T-Mobile 2.24 Rom (AKU 2.3). The 2.25 Cingular Rom is the leaked Cingular AKU 2.2 Rom.

I would recommend updating to either the unmodified T-Mo 2.24 (AKU 2.3) Rom of the latest Summiter version then revisiting your issues.

I am running my own (less Modified) version of the AKU 2.3 Rom and it is beautiful!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
I posted on this thread because this is where the ROM was acquired - sorry that its so incorrectly referred to as 2.25 - because I saw 'The 2.25 Cingular Rom'. This is indeed the AKU2.3 downloaded through this thread. Still looking for help for the WiFi problems I'm having, and potentially the themes issue someone else posted here that I'm also receiving.

wifi problem

Hello Mengesb

I have a wifi problems too

you may try to enable ssid bodcast in your acces point - after that i can conect with AP but IE hangs after a while when i'm trying to surf the web and the only way to disable wifi is reset, comm manager cannot disable wifi, it hangs too
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
Re: wifi problem

I have no commgr problems - just can't hang on to an AP. I can discover it fine, I can show it 'connecting' but then it just drops the connection... as if it were disgusting or something. Its really weird.

The problem definately isn't the access point's settings, because it worked with the stock ROM wonderfully, and now... well, my handheld must think Cingular's EDGE is superior to my free WiFi at home... heh =)

I have made sure that the network preferences are properly set.

What's really strange, is when I'm BT paired with my desktop for ActiveSync, I can browse the net over BT, but when I try to browse the net over WiFi, it fails, doesn't associate to the AP, and then tries to connect via Cingular - which I don't want cause I use that only for e-mail while mobile.

Go Figure... any sugggestions? Summiter? darkjedi? Anyone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:
i haven't touched wifi since i first used the device. why? because it sucks more battery life than a tijuana hooker. there isn't any real benefit to using it unless you don't have an unlimited data plan (like i do).

wifi problems

I have this exact same problem. Works for about a minute or so, then just can't locate anything after that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
I managed to take a peak into the 'Configure Wireless Networks' window which I've not seen before, which I got to from START > Settings > Connections > Wireless LAN > Menu > Network Cards.

Every time I bring this menu up, the network is full bars, Available. When I force it to connect, it says connecting, then goes to unavailable at about 4 seconds. After a little while, the network will show up again as available. I also tried setting the Data Encryption to 'Disabled' (on PPC, select the network, chose the tab Network Key) and removed/rebooted my router and phone, and the same behavior happens.

I don't get it, but perhaps someone can follow those steps with a wifi network in their area and see if they get the same issues as I'm having.

I don't feel up to paying $20 for u/l data when I already pay only $25 for 2k minutes/unlimited txt/5mb data/7pm - why double what I'm paying?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:
and how did you get 2000 minutes for only $25 a month? i'm gonna take a guess here and say...through your work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
Yes, I get a pretty kick ass plan through my employer.

On the side - the WiFi is useful, and not that I use it every day, but its something that since it was in the phone, and I paid for the feature (exchanging built-in GPS for WiFi, which I am starting to think was a mistake), I'd like to use it, as it is suppose to work. I'm regretting losing the GPS feature that I used daily, but I don't regret gaining my ever so MORE used voice commands/voice dials and WM5 over WM2003... and the gawdy lookin' iPaq 6515. I do wish the 8125 had built in GPS - then I'd be truly in heaven, and wouldn't give one damn about the WiFi probably.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:
well there's no such thing as a perfect device, as everyone is going to want 1 feature more. i'd truly love the prophet, but with a slide out keyboard and built in GPS, but still holding the slimness. i hate the size of the 8125, but LOVE the slide-out keyboard.

Problem with Bluetooth

I tried 2.3 ROM. Everything else works great except bluetooth. After I upgraded from 2.17 to 2.3, my car was not able to connect with my phone via bluetooth. Somehow on the phone, it shows the partnership was established; but nothing was connected on the car. It was not a problem with 2.17 or 2.25.

wifi

...you know...sometimes one AP doesnt like other one and wont connect.

i dont mean yours AP settings are wrong!!! but if you change some of them , you will connect to the AP just like me :lol: (i have changed basic rate & enabled ssid broadcast)

unfortunately there is more problems with using wifi.

for example i'm connected for a longer time then 2 minuts - time doesent mater i think, i can wiev some www pages end then IE stucks - it shows only : "locating" .

i can close ie but when i'm trying to disconnect wifi at commgr it hangs up

I think this is only one big problem i this rom

it is faster then others, i have better reception (i'm not shure - maybe its only shows it better)

but the wifi - its crap

2.25 - same - wifi don't works properly

it looks like we can't have everything :cry:

Re: wifi

You know, its just absolutely strange... I actually got it working for just a second, but just as Jasiuq1 described, once I sat idle, reading the xda forums from my 8125 thru wifi, it did the same thing he described.

After looking how it would look with screenshots, I decided to link the image folder for your viewing pleasure... Didn't want to upset anyone here:

http://www.legolascs.com/images/wizard/

There are a number of photos in there if users are looking for a full menu layout etc... but the files of interest are 1-12 which show that I actually am getting connected (WiFi to my SRX100 router, haven't tested the Belkin Pre-N again yet), but it times out after about 2 minutes of idle time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Re: wifi

Have you tried setting the power mode to "Best Performance"? I connect to a Belkin Pre-N with no problems.

Re: wifi

I'm going to try that again later tonight, but I'm also having problems maintaining the connection for longer than a few minutes. Any theories on that one? Do I need to be tweaking the router perhaps?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
A different issue, or behavioral observation -

When I first setup my WM device, I usually do it through USB. When I re-sync'd over BT, it made me setup a new partnership. So I was like, ok, whatever. But now everytime I connect the USB cable, it wants to setup a new partnership ... because I deleted the USB partnership when I setup the BT version. Is this normal to have a BT Sync and USB Sync partnership profiles? i.e. seperate profiles.

I didn't notice this behavior with the 1.8.11 WWE stock rom, but then again, I don't remember attaching it with USB after I got activesync over BT to work... but I could swear that it didn't do this before.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
I just tested connecting to the Belkin Pre-N router again, here's some more specific difficulties.

After enabling WiFi, it detects the wireless network. It attempts to connect, and when it ARPs for settings (used a packet sniffer), all the sudden the phone doesn't respond. When I more closely paid attention to my phone, at that second magically the other networks I WiFi with are magically available, and its trying to connect to that. Literally my McCarty (on the belkin) swaps places with my Zion_SRX (obvious srx100 router), so now its connecting to my srx router. Both fail, and both magically are unavailable... wait a few more seconds, and the process repeats.

Always, the local router is visable, it tries to connect, and all the sudden everything is available, and it connects with other stuff, wash. rinse. repeat.

I have screen shots this time if they'll be useful, but I'll post or upload only upon request.

I've tried this on Best performance, middle, and Best battery... nothing changes.

I'm still on 2.17 but found trying to connect to a network comprised of multiple access points using the same SSID fails. Are both of your APs using the same SSID?

On 2.17, LEAP is broken I believe I saw in one of summiter's earlier posts on the 2.24 ROM he left out a cab from ext rom which would have removed the LEAP option from view. I may be wrong on this though, but it would make sense the carriers would want to hide a non-working option if they can't fix it.

I saw another post on wireless where someone could not use hex WEP keys and had to use ASCII.

So unless 2.24 fixes issues with 2.17, I believe the prevailing working options MIGHT be:

- if you have multiple APs, use unique SSIDs

- don't bother with LEAP because it just doesn't work

- use ASCII WEP keys

Someone PLEASE tell me I'm wrong and you can connect in hotspots with mutiple APs (like an airport or office) or can successfully use LEAP in the newer-than-2.17 ROMs.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] thephm:
Huh ... I'm using a stock T-mobile ROM 1.6.2.4 WWE and I can connect to networks with multiple AP using the same SSID. Was a bug introduced in the ver 2.xx roms ?

bluetooth and active sync on this ROM

Anyone have specific steps to allow active sync over bluetooth with the ROM and windows xp laptop? It was working before upgrade and now I've forgotten steps needed.

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] oconnor.jb:
OK, you're wrong. :-)

Seriously - I'm on the 2.17 ROM (file I used listed in sig) and I just fired up wifi here in the office. There are at least 3 APs (all with same SSID) within range of my office, and sometimes a fourth shows on my computer's site survey, and all are using 26-char hex WEP codes. I also use a 26-char hex WEP code with my AP at home (there's only one at home).

I was able to use PIE to browse sites just fine. Left phone idle for 10 minutes or so (well, not completely idle - WMP was playing music through my Bluetake i-PHONO mini BT headphones), and was still able to browse.

I guess now that I have a good baseline for the performance of the 2.17 ROM with my most used features, I don't have any more excuses not to load this one on here and see how it does.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] foxbat121:
I'm on 2.17 ROM and has no issue with multiple APs with same SSID.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] foxbat121:
It happens to me as well. You should not delete the USB profile as both should share the same profile (profile for the PC). What you should do it simply disconnect and reboot the PC and reconnect. It's just one of those little bugs ActiveSync 4.x has.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] foxbat121:
I think he meant that all flash ROMs have a limited number of flashing cycles before they die. It is probably in the neighborhood of 1,000 times.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 100Tbps:
Cool, ok! Thanks. The handful of times I tried wifi in multi-AP environments have been hotels and it's never once worked for me. We use EAP-FAST at the office so I can't test there and I don't have a T-Mo hotspot account to try when passing through the airports. At home I have a single AP and it's running 128 bit (26 characters) hex WEP. I remembered seeing people mention problems with hex WEP and mistakenly believed I saw it mentioned in a recent ROM discussion. It wasn't - I found it here: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=52388

I know LEAP is broken in 2.17 because of the testing I did with my own AAA server and other known-to-be-working devices.

I'd love to hear some feedback about the newer ROMs and their successes or failures with wifi (and details or workarounds).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] skint:
Wireless issues (lack there of)

I have yet to test this ROM in an environment where there are multiple SSIDs with the same name. I know of a few offices where that is the case and I'll test it out then.

What I have observed is a much more stable wireless experience using this ROM. Using the previous 2.25 ROM (stock and not so right customized version), wireless was locking up on me with G enabled. That registry tweak or AKU2.2 was completely unstable for me. I noticed that this ROM has the G tweak enabled by default and as I mentioned before has been quite stable.

I realize that I might not comprise a large area of the sampling population, but I have successfully run 40-bit and 128-bit WEP. I have also had no issues connecting using WPA-PSK. We have some 1200 APs at the office here, I can test out some static EAP Radius configuration and report. Oh yeah, the WEP keys were hex and PSK was ASCII.

As for the BT issue, I hope I'm stating the obvious in saying; delete your partnership from the PC after a flash and re-establish initiating from the PC. Assuming it was working before, and you didn't delete the incoming port on the PC, you should get the Activesync service right back and be able to connect. Don't flame if I'm stating the obvious, just letting you know what has worked with me the last 10 times I've tried.

Just flashed to 2.3 this morning

Just thought I would throw my 2 cents in. I flashed from the stock rom to the 2.17 rom and it ran great. This morning I flased to the 2.3 rom and had no issues. I had previously cid and sim unlocked the phone. There were no errors during flash, and everything seems to be working fine after flash. I had been experienceing the problem with not being able to browse when hooked to usb cable on my work pc and thats working fine after this flash. Not sure if that was a phone setting, or a partnership issue. At first it seemed to be a little slower on the edge network, but now I think that was just my impatience with pages that were not cached as they were before. One thing I noticed is that in messaging the switch accounts option changed to go to... minor thing but annoyed me a little. Now that I have been using it for a few hours I'm very happy with the rom. Boot up is MUCH faster. Also I have been listening to my XM satalite radio over the edge network and its working great. No skips at all. Before this rom it skipped some. Not really sure if that is a rom fix or just low network load at the moment. Time will tell.
