Re: Virtual GPS port work in this version

B.t.w. i use it for this gps-addon with which, among other features, people can see where i am via the web. http://www.geocities.com/prestonsystems/mytracking

Helmi-c: this gps-addon is working fine since 1.2 and the hotfix. It needed .net which didn't work up to 1.2
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
Clap clap clap, Helmi this is a great ROM. The only issue I've had was the SMS one (I'm applying the fix just now), other than that everything is spot on!

Also, the presentation is great for example the first post in this thread. Please continue to list any fixes in the same way, it's really useful!

Could you add a customisation cab for Orange UK to the next version if you get a chance? Cheers!

Re: after changing batteries

i also had this experience when i was using Tuma 1.3, temp disk gets wiped out when taking out the battery. so after reading some posts re that issue, i came to the conclusion that I have a "bad back-up battery".

but, before flashing Helmi 1.2b, i used Helmi 1.1b. I never experienced my Ramdisk getting wiped out, nor my clock resetting. I tried taking out the battery a few times, and i was surprised that the Ramdisk wasn't erased at all. So, i figured it's not a bad battery issue after all, and could be with the rom i'm using.

and now, after flashing Helmi1.2b, i tried taking the battery out, and found out that Ramdisk gets wiped out again. :(

So, just to check, i downgraded my rom to Helmi 1.1b again to see if Ramdisk will be wiped out if i take out the battery. I tried several times, and hey, Ramdisk is intact and my clock didn't reset! :shock:

I flashed Helmi1.2 again, took out the battery, and Ramdisk was erased.

I spent half of my sunday flashing Helmi1.1 and Helmi 1.2, just to experiment.

With what I experienced, is it safe to conclude that Ramdisk getting wiped out is not due to a "bad backup battery", but may depend really on the Rom?

What's the difference between Helmi1.1 and Helmi1.2 anyways on this aspect?

@helmi, hope you could give light on this. Thanks.

btw, helmi, i love this 1.2 rom. thanks. :wink:

Can't receive sms

i can't receive sms until i power on my device, anyone hav this issue also??

is there any fix for this issue??
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] raymonds:
has anyone else experienced their phones suddenly turning themselves off, or resetting, for no apparent reason? this happened to me yesterday for around five times within an hour... the R and G values became "NONE", making the ppc unusable and requiring several soft resets until the true values of R and G come up.

but after that, the ppc was ok... up to this time.

btw, when that happened, i was working on an excel file that i created during the wm2003se days. i notice that i had to save it as another file or else it cannot be saved. i left the ppc alone and when i returned to it, it was on the freaky reset mode. :shock: any reason why the previous excel files aren't that compatible with pocket excel?

on another note, i find some subtle changes that make it much more convenient in using the ppc. one is in messaging (i.e. inclusion of a semi-colon right after choosing a recipient name) and the other is in program management (removing programs TRULY removes everything, no need to look for leftover files in the Program and Windows folders).

btw, is it possible to choose an MMS recipient from the directory? it would be nice if there is an app to make this work.

there is a bar above the softkeys with the power, battery, bluetooth and wlan settings. is it possible to add icons there?

i also see on other forum sections some references on using eten diallers with large keys. i can't get them to work with my BA on this rom :(

all-in-all, this is a good rom. congrats, helmi... i look forward to further enhancements.

Re: after changing batteries

It could be a fault with the switch on the battery cover. Apparently the release switch actually hooks up the backup battery when the old battery is removed. If the switch isn't pushed all the way to the end you can lose your data under WM2003.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
I get that when I change battery; if you are paying attention to the phone booting you can just soft-reset it when you see the "NONE" text. Always comes back up normally first-time.

I've also had it once or twice on the Artz ROM. I think it happens when the radio module crashes and the phone can no longer communicate with it. Once it screwed up my email settings and I wasn't the first to have this problem. There is some info on this out there if you search the forum.

Helmi, what radio version do you recommend? 1.13, like most other WM5 ROMs?

1.1/1.2 Comparison...

Guys,

I've been really busy with work for the last week or so and have missed most of the fun with 1.2...

I've been using 1.1 since it's release and have not had to SR or had any crashes or freezes (except when I filled the storage memory in error and caused it to grind to a halt!!)

What is this new ROM like in comparison with 1.1? I'd appreciate any details on speed/reliability/compatability etc...

I have WiFi/A2DP/GPS and everything else working on 1.1 (@xdaradar I even seem to have the Virtual GPS working on 1.1 with no fixes applied!! [TomTom 5.21 + GPS2GoogleEarth + Vito Navigator II) I love this ROM and don't want to upgrade to 1.2 unless there are significant/noticable benefits (especially when 3.2 may appear soon!)

No, haven't had this at all on this one and any ROM i've used, i hopes it stayes that way for me. Seems to me as an irritating issue.

excel files i had on my ppc when it was on wm2003 indeed gave a notice on WM5 that they had to be save as this newer version of pocket excel. I suppose it's the same as on a desktop when going from office2000 to office-xp. It gave me no trouble b.t.w., but this conversion i already had to do on tuma's 1.3, so i needed no new conversion from tuma to helmi.

I think this was there all the time, already had that on wm2002 and wm2003.

This works on my device, just as when i choose the "TO" button in email and sms. Maybe you use different contacts s/w that doesn't integrate to well on MMS?

If u apply Hotfix1 then u need a Hotfix1_fixed, i've edit my first post since couple days, cos Hotfix1 has problem with sound (not translating multi_sz correctly)

I dont think u can. The resource is difference. but u can always use Dialpad skin add-on for wm2003, i've built my own dialpad skin for it but the site i've post the skin is currently shutting down. or should i post it here in BA thread? I've a few cool skin for wm2003.

glad to hear that u guys found the problem, cos ramdisk in my version should be safe.

and about WModem, I dont know if there any WModem that work on WM5 is exist, but if i hv time, i'll try to learn it, can promise anything, but I'll learn it.

and also about ActiveSync problem, it should not happening. I dont know why u guys has problem with it.

POCKET EXCEL in wm5 is not supported (u can view it but can safe in that old format), u will be prompt to safe to new Excel format. maybe a work around with activesync will help, since it automatically convert the format (copy from device and send back to device)

When i just configure one outpoing port, com6, in my BT settings on my BT GPS and not use the gps-applet it all works well. Igo, TomTom, Oziexplorer will all work on this port. But, i can only use one at a time :!:

Trouble starts when using the virtual port feature with the GPS applet. I define a "programport" as com7 and the "h/w port" as com6 and use the recommended setting and have the gps-applet manage my gps.

Then i can use both ozi and tt at the same time but then it keeps missing gps-data. Like no input-data or gps-missing errors.

it seems a bit better when setting the baudrate from the default 4800 to 19200 but still it's quite instable.
