Re: Something is wrong with the RAMdisk size!

Don't know - I got exactly the same Total-Amounts, exept RAM-Disk. Did you update from WM 2003 and done the storage-customation?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] MHoefler:

Re: Something is wrong with the RAMdisk size!

Did u hardreset after upgrade the rom?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] MHoefler:
Yes, I did hard reset, clear the registry hive, format storage, etc. Still only 16 MB ramdisk.

This is strange and sad, because I think I'd like to install my apps on the ramdisk (if it's still true that they will be faster this way).

tasks manager

The "sort by" problem in the tasks manager still exists. When choosing sort 'by priority' / 'by due date' the tasks are listed alphabetically. This is something new since Helmi rom 1.3, it didn't exist in any of the previous ones. Does anyone have any idea how come or how i could fix it?

I am currently running Helmi WM2k5 AKU3.2 v1.3.2 16mb Pool 32Mb Ramdisk

Thanks

Wifi results

For me there's a consistent wifi behavior in all helmi's rom's.

turning on wifi, using it, turning off without turning off the pda in between works stable.

pushing the power button with wifi on will turn off wifi as well, sometimes I even see the red-line coming up through the wifi icon when pushing the power button

when the ba goes in standby or when using shutdown in shutxp while wifi on, then wifi will resume and reconnect but as soon as I start using it via pie, gprs will take over and softreset is needed.

Re: Wisbar Advance 2 :)

The corruption is because of the ace_ddi_Driver. Install the DDI_D3D_Driver from the

Re: What a speed

You are not alone there. My Wifi is not starting up either. I have tried Wlan manager, Comm Manager, and Wlan switch. None of them are working. One weird thing, I did a soft reset to test the startup time of my BA with the 32 mb compared to the 16 MB (29 sec and 39 sec respectively) and my wifi just came on by itself. Any ideas on this one?

By the way, Helmi and Mamaich... you guys are un-freaking-believable!!!!!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] _TB_TB_:
baniaczek, I think it also happened in WM2003 BA. I've tested the LED code also on MDA Compact (aka Magican) - still the same - LED1=main led, on=blink=red color, off=green color. LED2 is a vibrator. I think it is due to the following:

In general, leds under WinCE were used for appointment/reminder alerts. Thus, since vibe can be used as an alert - it is reported as LED (plase note, that there rather is no API command for Vibe on/off...).

Other thing - I know, that in general BA has more 'real' leds: left(blinking green/orange/red/blinking red/off -> 5 states) and right (blinking blue/blinking green -> 2 states). The LEDs are controlled via a lower - level, most propably BA/general HTC QLed driver assembler functions.

issue with WF/BT on/off is not so difficult to fix, wmodem and STK issues is the problem, this 2 problem hold my proggres.

The current Progress is:

1. Wifi/BT problem gone (but still cant use first time with CommManager).

2. WMP issues fix (Freeze when u pause it)

3. Portrait/Lanscape with ace_ddi driver work ok (but gif still not showin)

4. Big Cache back on track.

5. Internet Sharring (InstShrUI) AKU3.xx Feature

btw really sorry for the delay guys, I dont hv much time to play with my device recently... but I'll post a new rom soon enough when I think its ready. any input about stk and wmodem is much welcome.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
Sorry, I've been very busy lately..

My rom still hv problem with WModem and STK?, and I dont think its wiill loose the 'BETA' mark when this two problem is not fixed, dont you think?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
I have read elsewhere that WModem - bluetooth DUN is simply being DROPPED from AKU 3.0 (including) onwards. In other words, no more bluetooth modem. ICS is REPLACING it, as it does the same thing: let the PC connect to the internet using GPRS/EDGE/3G.

That leaves us with a few nags:

MS bluetooth VS. Broadcom: MS has good handsfree, Broadcom has good A2DP. I believe Broadcom will eventually be fixed, I believe everyone prefers it.

ace_ddi vs. d3d_ddi: users can already choose between them by an extrom cab, maybe someday one of them can be patched (or a more complete version found) to become a complete solution.

WModem vs. ICS - ICS seems to be working (although I haven't tested it). It also gives us the SAME functionality of WModem, by a different method. Which is: let teh PC browse the web using the pohne GPRS connection. Why waste time with WModem? Let people hammer ICS and sort out the problems, if any. Soon user experience will let us develop a nice and easy HOWTO for people to navigate using ICS. Unless, of course, ICS is crap and doesn't work. But at least we'd have a wide testing group. After all, we have the BETA label because the ROM is still 'under development'...

STK - Can't it be labelled a KNOWN ISSUE and be worked after 1.3.3?

I believe the munber of patches and feature present already warrant a new release, at least to avoid the burden of finding all patches on a 58-page thread, plus optionally going thru the Broadcom bluetooth thread to get the stack + 2 patches, plus going after the ICS app...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cso5874:
ICS?

BTW... Where is this ICS app?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] motisu:
I agree with Joe. I am using the ROM and it is very stable. Unfotunately, I did a HR a couple of days ago and it took me almost a full day to refind and reread all the patches that were applicable. Also, remember that not everybody needs wmodem or a2dp and STK. I think that the best thing would be to release a minor update with everything included and open issues to be noted.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
Both approaches have some merit, but I still want to defend an earlier release. I really do not wish to sound like a 'petty demander', it's just that we already have so many patches flying around, that settling them down in a new release would make it smoother. If too many patches are put in a new release and it breaks down, we might have to roll back and go slower on the updates. Besides, we don't know how much long it will take to find out exactly *what* is wrong on those parts (STk etc), so... 1.3.2 is good, but having an incremental updated, improved version with good patches (the ones we already have) will help keeping the user interest warm, and avoid the reporting of already-fixed problems...

Helmi,

Good to have you back, brother!!! I thought you had forgotten about your fans :)

Just kidding, I know that you also have a life outside of this. At any rate, I have been using your 1.3.2 AKU 3.2 for nearly 2 months now (ever since the day you released it with mamich's fix). It does begin lagging a bit after a while, but if you clean up the ramdisk folder, it will go back to being as fast as usual (and an occasional SR does not hurt either ;)

The only problem I have had is that the voicemail notification is stuck. SR will not do anything, I also tried using STK Tools to erase notification queues, but still nothing. I guess I could do a HR, but I am too lazy to do that :). I guess I will wait until you release your greatest and latest. That way, I will kill two birds with one stone.

Other than that, it is good to see you are still out there thinking about us!!!

Just put your rom out there, I will be there to test it!!!!!

As usual, Thanks a Bunch!!!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] egzthunder1:
Raymonds,

I use SKTools. I downloaded, what I believe was a free version. There is an option for "advanced cleaning", which will allow you to delete some stuff from the RamDisk directory. Things like History will just come back, meaning that you will never be able to see a value of zero in that folder. I hope this helps.

I will be honest with you. I tried uploading it yesterday, but for some reason it would not let me. I guess it is because it is an .exe file compressed to a zip file. A format which beautifully ressembles a virus :S

However, I decided to be a nice guy and got the link for you

I got a free trial and it seems to be working good so far. Anyhow, let me know if it works.

anilkaparthi,

Is it a free upgrade like going from VC 1.0 to 1.5? I only found it in Handango and they want $40 for it! At any rate, how is it working for you? Does it have any new features or is it the same as 1.5 but for AKU 3.0 and above? Thanks.

The God of Death
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] raymonds:
thanks, egzthunder1!

my BA slowed down to a crawl and before i saw your reply, i had to do a hard reset... will see the effects of sktools when the unit becomes sluggish again.

i had memmaid which didn' seem to work. hope sktools is better.

btw, do i use Autoclean! or FreeUP RAM? i don't see the option for "advanced cleaning" in the SKTools program itself (which is in DEMO mode).
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] egzthunder1:
Raymonds,

My mistake. It was not "Advanced Clean". First, you need to go to the SK Tools program (neither FreeUp Ram nor Autoclean!). Once there, you will click on View and choose "Cleanup". This will bring up all the cleaning options that you have with the program. The option that reads "Temp and Cache Folders" will allow you to clean a lot of junk from several different things, including the RamDisk\Cache and the RamDisk\History.

I hope this helps.

Re: Problem with Network

Rizwanm999,

could it be a PIN problem with the other SIM cards?

I get "NO SERVICE" msg after every soft reset with my Vodafone Italia SIM card (protected by a PIN number). The solution that works for me is (after switching on my BA, before doing any other thing) to tap on the Phone icon (next to the clock in Today screen) and then on "Settings": BA asks me for the PIN number and then everything goes ok.

If this is your problem, maybe you can also solve it by disabling the PIN of not working SIM cards...

I hope this helps...

Hi anilkaparthi, I am still on AKU2.6 using ms vc 1.5 and trying to find out more information on ms vc 1.6. I find that ms vc 1.5 hogs a lot of memory, so I had to practically turn on only 1 Today Screen Plug In, on each soft reset, turn on BT and Wifi, then start up ms vc 1.5 (I had hacked it so that it would not start up automatically after each soft reset), so that BT and Wifi will run with ms vc 1.5 running in memory.

Hope you can share your experience with me on ms vc 1.6, do you have any Today Plug-in running, do you have problem firing up BT and wifi with ms vc 1.6 running?

Thank you.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] rambo6:
Helmi,

You and those before you have done a terrific job of keeping the Blue Angel alive. I've been using a Wizard and it has great battery life and is very stable, but is slow. I put your WM5 2.26 (I wanted Voice Command to work) on sx66 Blue Angel and it rocks.

The largest problem for me is that it does not like to have GPRS, Wifi, or Bluetooth running at the same time. When my SIM card is not in the device, WiFi works great but BT won't turn on. When the SIM is in the device, the Wifi does not want to turn on. There's some conflict going on there. It's almost as if there are too many different Comm managers (or ways to start on of the three connections) and they are in conflict. I don't claim to know anything about the se devices.

Anyway, keep up the good work. The BA would be perfect with the GPRS, Wifi, and BT running concurrently.

Thanks again for all your wonderful work.

Dammit, the problem is back. Outgoing calls last for around 30 seconds and connect maybe one in three times. Incomming calls get an unusual tone or go to answerphone.

I suspect the problem is with GPRS. Is there anything that has changed recently in the WM5 builds for GPRS? I never had problems with Tuma's ROM. Has everyone who has seen this problem been on Orange UK? I suspect that's the case. Are there any other recent WM5 ROMs I can try out? I has suspicions that the problems are caused by some GPRS tweak such as those done by GB-Soft.

Can anyone please help with this? I was very close to throwing my phone against the wall five minutes ago. Literally, I was this close. The only thing holding me back was the fact that I can maybe sell it.

After using the phone for a bit, the problem is still there but it does seem slightly less severe. Incomming calls get through about 50% of the time and while outgoing works most of the time, you can only chat for 30 seconds. Still unusable as a phone really.

Texting is wierd as well. If you try to send one after sending another (or being in a call), you'll get a "phone not ready, wait 15 seconds" bubble popup. And last night I had to soft-reset to get a text out.

When any of the above problems occur, the signal icon changes to show that the phone has dropped the GSM connection altogether. It usually comes back about 5-10 seconds later at which point you can try again.
