Re: Post Police

No permission required, I swiped... err... aquired it from one of VJAY555's posts. Gotta say that I had to restart it a few times (kept falling out of my chair I was laughing so hard).

I've been trying to interject a smidge of humor in my "Official Post Police" replies but am almost always polite enough to also point them in the right direction.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Phoney:
Sorry to double-post, but in the midst of all the "forum policing", perhaps my post was overlooked.

The "Messaging" SoftKey...

Several of us have been vexxed with the problem that pressing the Messaging SoftKey doesn't display the entire Messaging app. Only the menu bars appear, but not the window.

I promised Summiter I'd test this more. Here is what I've learned:

Occurs with the Summiter 2.17 (AKU 2.2), and Summiter AKU 2.3 ("TEST_2") and the latest released Cingular (AKU 2.2) ROM

Occurs even if NO add-on software is installed

Never occurs after a fresh restart; it always takes time

Once Bug occurs, it re-occurs every time I press the Messaging button.

I can always properly launch Messaging app using the Start Menu or Today screen. When I do this, the Messaging app (usually/always) displays "Disconnecting..." in the status bar.

I can clear "Disconnecting..." message with a Send/Receive. Once I do, I can exit the app and start it using the SoftKey, even if I kill the app using the "Memory" control panel. This "fix" stays for a while... I can again use the SoftKey successfully, until the bug comes back.

Messaging SoftKey Issue

Phoney,

Caught your post both times, withholding the scoulding (ha ha) for double posting!!!

Seriously, thanks for the indepth report. I've been vexed by that bug ever since I got my Wizard back in Feb (06). I don't recall seeing this problem on my BlueAngel until I started using the WM5 Rom that was basically a chopped-up version of the Wizard Rom.

I can back-up the report that it has happened with every Rom version I've installed (oh there have been so many). Honestly I've just stopped using the Messaging button.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Phoney, Is your messaging POP or to an Exchange server? I've never had this problem, even with my BA running WM5. I, however, have never POP'ed on my devices. Just curious.

ok dumb silly question when you say messaging button is it safe to assume you mean the button with the envelope (top left of 8125).

If so i have been playing with it since seeing your FIRST post ;-0, j/k but have not come across any errors.. I have been running test2 since the big s posted it and can actually say i have not had any issues stated in this thread.. I use the cingular express mail as my push from work( have it on of my test pc's at work).

I was able to go from Cingular 2.25 ROM to this ROM by doing following.

not sure if some teps can be skipped but this is how it worked for me.

1. So you got Cingular 2.25 rom loaded on Locked phone and stuck, right?

2. Run Lokiwiz03a and get your unlock code, put in different Sim and put in the code.

3. Run this AKU2.3 ROM, not sure if this steps is needed but that's what I did.

4. Downgrade to CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe

5. Run Lokiwiz02b.zip and select C, CID unlock.

6. Now install the AKU2.3 ROM and should work. The easiest indicator is windows version, see if it matches the one posted on OP.

More About the Messaging Button Bug

1. I use POP e-mail. I check every 5 - 15 mins (tried various)

2. I'm referring to the Messaging button with the envelope on the phone.

3. The Messaging button launches from a shortcut in \Windows\AppButtons\

4. The Start Menu launches from a shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\

In WinCE, shortcuts are simple text files with a .LNK extension. The shortcuts in AppButtons\ and StartMenu\ are the same. I verified that editing the .LNK file changes the button's behavior.

The contents of the LNK files are:

19#:MSINBOX

I'm pretty sure the 19#: indicates the icon for the shortcut.

Re: More About the Messaging Button Bug

Heck, Just for giggles once I even copied the shortcut from windows folder into the appbuttons folder but got the same results.

Hey Summiter.. I installed your ROM after downgrading from the official Cingular 2.25 one, and I have to say it's working a lot better so far.

However, I did notice one problem.. not sure if this has been mentioned before.

The buttons some of the orange characters are mapped to are wrong.

the top row (1 to 9, 0) are fine.

The second row, A gives ! instead of ~, and it keeps going to J. It's over one. So A = ! instead of ~, S = @ instead of !.. etc. And when it gets to J gives * (which is on the third row) instead of &.

I'll just do it this way, the = characters are what my phone has them mapped to, not what they're supposed to be.

Q = 1, W = 2, E = 3, R = 4, T = 5, Y = 6, U = 7, I = 8, O = 9, P = 0

A = !, S = @, D = #, F = $, G = %, H = &, J = *, K = (, l = ), <- = DEL

SHIFT = CAP, Z = -, X = _, C = a really odd E looking symbol, V = an odd L looking symbol, B = +, N = =, M = ;, ^ = :,

OK = ", SPACE = SYMBOL still, . = , , <- ', \/ = /, -> = ?

Is there a way to remap the buttons?

Re: Sometimes no missed calls or vmail

This absolutely happened to me today. I've been having some really wierd issues with my phone since upgrading to this ROM. (Reseting randomly, the disconnects in the middle of calls, missed calls and voicemails not showing up)

No offense to Summiter (infact, he is THE MAN), but this ROM is really making my phone unstable/unreliable.

I just got my apps reloaded and all, but I think I should reflash to something more stable. I've gotten rid of Agile, SBP Weather, and a few other apps, and things are still screwed up.

Im confused, as most people don't seem to be having as many issues...Ive searched and read around. Am I missing somthing?

Should I downgrade to Cingular Release, or all the way back to 2.17 where my phone was last happy?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Re: Sometimes no missed calls or vmail

Try the Mr Clean Rom first. It is still AKU 2.3 (and you can get the Cingular Splash & Ext Rom for it if you want) but the OS hasn't been dinkered with. If your problems go away then it would point to something happening when Summiter edited the OS. If the problems resurface then your hardware doesn't like AKU 2.3

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Did you use Lokiwiz03 to do the unlock?

If so then when you turn on the phone with the other carrier's sim you should get prompted for the unlock code. Just enter it and your unlocked.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ameggs:
has to be a different carriers sim ... not cingular?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Yes, the whole point if SIM unlock is so you can use Cingular 8125 with T-Mobile (or other carrier) SIM.

SIM Lock means that it will only talk to a SIM for your Carrier.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ameggs:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Sorry,

The Code thing threw me off. Lokiwiz doesn't give you a code for CID unlock, it just does the unlock. Lokiwiz03 generates a SIM unlock code. Thank is why I thought you were talking about SIM unlock.

Does that mean that you used IMEICHECK for the CID unlock? If so then (if I understand the instructions on their website) you have to run a program they provide you to complete the CID unlock.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamescan:
Yes, it has to be a different carrier's SIM.

And just for the record THIS IS NOT A CID UNLOCK CODE. This is a SIM unlock code and will ONLY allow you to use a different SIM in your device.

If you want to pop in another SIM and enter the code, just hit up a T-Mobile store and ask them if you can borrow a SIM for a minute because you want to test it with your device and see if it is unlocked. They'll happily let you borrow one (in store) so you can pop it in and enter the code. Then just give it back to them.

Now, if you want to CID unlock you must be sure you are on a 1xx ROM and use lokiwiz02b (or use the pay service at imei-check).

Just for emphasis LOKIWIZ03 CANNOT and WILL NOT CID UNLOCK YOUR PHONE.

CID unlocking has nothing to do with the SIM.

(sorry for the CAPs, just wanted to make sure the point was clear). :)

Re: Sometimes no missed calls or vmail

Every time I read about a strange connection or network problem, I have the same thought...

Maybe there are bugs that only occur with certain cell towers.

Maybe some cell towers automatically kill a phone call if the same phone makes a GPRS connection, while others have newer hardware or software.

xda ftp 530 550 520 errors

OK guys... a little FTP lesson.

the base site is : ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com

If you want files, you have to log in!

username: xda

password: xda

so when we link things here, they should be something to the effect of:

ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com

This has the username and password in the link itself. If you're getting 550 errors, then log in - go to FILE > LOGIN AS

Most errors of 550 means you've got a wrong address, you should be getting 530.

I know this is frustrating for everyone, but I believe there is a thread that addresses how to access the ftp here... why can't anyone find it?

So there yah go, a friendly FTP reminder: ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com - go hog wild.

if all else fails, always remember to start from the bottom of the FTP and navigate to the directory you want: ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/

I am running Summiter's 2.3 Test 2 rom and have run an interesting situation. When I go into my messaging program, start a new text message (mms or email as well), i choose the contact that I want and when I press tab to move to the body of the message it brings me to the bottom of the screen instead of to the body. Previous Cingular 1.8 allowed me to tab into the body. Is there something that I need hack through the registry or might this be a slight bug in this wonderful ROM update?

Summiter, Thanks. A truly great ROM. I have even forwarded the information to the Data trainer for Cingular in North Florida. He was really impressed at how much better this was than the Cingular release. He, my co-worker, and I have much happier lives thanks to you!!

Re: 8125 with A2DP

Do you have any apps installed related to ringtones or phone profiles (like PhoneAlarm)? Unless something dorked the registry entries associated with ringer assingments, I can't think of any reason it would behave the way it is. If you are comfortable looking through the registry, you can find the entries where various sounds are assigned to events.

Text messaging is a function of the carrier. It doesn't need configuration on the phone. If text messaging "doesn't work" I'd check your account settings with your carrier as the first step.

MMS -- yeah, you'll need to setup the servers.

Text/SMS -- it'll "just work" when you pop in your SIM, just like the phone service

i started with rom v2.17, and tried it without downgrading...was a partial success, so I downgraded to my original oem rom, and then up to the "test2" v2.3...worked perfect, although I do remember it spent quite awhile at the 99% mark...

I had the calendar key issue, fixed it with the d/l fix, and then had the other soft key, "contacts" do the same thing, so I used the built in Softkey key remapper to remap it to something else, then back to "contacts" and it works great now.

I have not, yet, had the message button problem, we'll see.

as of now, seems to run at least 50% faster, part of which may be due to cleaning up & increasing the program memory...very, very happy...reception seems the same so far, need more testing to see if it is improved.

My only regret... I wish I would have spotted the mult-installer first...I would like to have had the .net 2.0 pre-installed, instead of having to add it later....

Ok. I'm just going to go out on a limb here and state that after several days of use, this radio/AKU combination may damn well be the best thing that's ever happened to an HTC wizard. Unbelievably shorter boot times, rock solid performance, and an improved bluetooth stack too. The older ROM had good support for my BMW handsfree, but this one syncs up to the car immediately every time. My contact list transferred over with no issues as well. Alarms have been stable and vibrate in hibernate mode is working perfectly. I've had no WiFi issues other than an occasional lockup if direct push isn't disabled. This is a vast improvement over the 2.17 ROM where you had to turn on flight mode and disable direct push to prevent the GPRS connection from overriding WiFi for all internet access. Finally, while levenum's today plugin provided a good workaround for the missing titlebar clock, there's no comparison to the real thing. I've had no issues yet with the phone either. It's too early to tell if the dead-air issue is resolved but I believe I solved this with the 2.17 ROM by picking up calls with the green button rather than pressing the "answer" softkey.

Application compatibility on this AKU is great too. The only issue I had was an older version of Registry Wizard that wasn't CF2 aware. I fixed this by loading the most current version.

Gripes? Only one: those little rotating arrows which used to show AUTD in action are now gone. Can you tell I'm reaching here?
