Still not quite right for me

Hi Faria,

Well, after "downgrading" to the Cingular ship ROM (2.25), and then installing your ROM, I still had problems with the phone portion, while everything else seemed to work perfectly. Essentially the phone does not ring for me, but the caller hears my ring and eventually gets my voice mail.

I tried using the 2.25.11 radio instead of 2.47.11, but that didn't seem to help. After I got a call from my wife (which did ring for me), I tried to go and change the ring tone through the options (Settings->Phone). WHen I did that, I got something similar to "Phone is not ready, please wait 15 seconds and try again. OK" I was no longer able to receive a call.

I waited 15 seconds, but nothing short of a soft reset would bring the phone back operational. I'm not sure what brought on the phone not ready thing, but of course I can't use it like that.

I've just reverted back to a 2.26 ROM until I know how to solve this problem.

I'm on the Cingular network here in the US, if that means anything.

If you need more info from me, just let me know.

-Chuck

PPCContactsMGR

I have a problem with the PPCContactsMgr program. I had this problem with it in an AKU 2.2 ROM, so this is not a ROM issue. What happens is if I choose Contacts, then filter to a name by clicking the letters at the top and then press the Talk button, it actually dials the first contact in my list, not the one selected. Can anyone else reproduce this? It seems to work after I select the contact a second time and hit Talk.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gyasih:
Thanks Faria

Didn't realize you had a link there.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] pda_wookie:
I just checked this on my MDA Vario and 8125, if you select a contact after choosing any filter (letter from tabs or from menu->filter) it brings up that contacts info, if I hit the CALL button or the TALK button it dials that contact

I can also use the cursor pad and select a contact and then press TALK or center pad and it dials the selected contact.

I am using:

MOLESKI's AKU2.3.

IPL 2.26

SPL 2.26

GSM 02.47.11

OS 2.26.10.2

My phone was at the 2.xx TMo ROM prior to flashing Faria's RC1. I noticed the "Phone not ready, wait 15..." when trying to change my ringtone. I could make and receive calls however. The message did go away and has not returned since I have rebooted the phone. Since is was a "transitory" event, I didn't really think of it as a bug. It has not returned and the phone is working well, VERY well.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] demontefixo:
There is an issue the the "spb" programs that can be resolved by disabling "safe mode". You might try that to see if that affects the "PPC" programs. I don't use it so I can't try.

--M
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] demontefixo:
I don't belive the date thing is unique to this ROM and as previously posted can be fixed.

Hope this helps.

I wonder if it has something to do with how many contacts I have. I have 164 contacts, many with more than 1 number. It was driving me crazy, so I removed the PPCContacts and everything is working fine now for me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
here is the fix

remove the zip extencion copy tp ppc a double click to import.reboot
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vwchen:
phone problem

The cause of the phone problem from my experiment, is the ppcprofilepro in the extra folder. Once I removed that application, everything seemed to be normal.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] pda_wookie:
Not to Hi Jack this topic, I will note that on my Vario I have well over 1500 contacts (my entire client database) and it does act wierd from time to time. So this might be a reason, but I dont see the problem on my 8125 and it has well over 200 contacts so your 164 should be fine.

most of my contacts have photos and rtf notes attched also so I think your safe even with the extra numbers / contact

:)

Cheers

Freeze Up

Faria

I too have the problems with my 8125 freezing up.

1. it froze when i had left it to charge overnight. i had to soft reset

2. When running TomTom and a call comes in, the phone froze as i could not use any buttons

I guess based on what i am reading here, the BT module might be the culprit.

Any ideas?

TIA

I'm curious to know how cooking the 2.6 extended rom assists with the SPB Time issue. If it is a too n00b of a question just ignore it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Timbo_fdw:
I doubt its blue tooth seeing as though I have never had any bluetooth module conneted to my ppc and I too an experiencing occational slow downs and freezes. Strangely enough everytime I softreset, I have to change the activesync name. For some reason I always duplicates, activesync picks it up as a new device with the same name. I don't know if this is stack related seeing that 12mb is all that I have tried. I played around with the glyph cache and tested every setting, the highest setting seems best. With glyph turned off I could definately notice laggy performance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bjevers:
I had it happen to me again tonight. My friend called me on my home phone because I didn't answer my cell. He also left a voicemail but my phone didn't ring and didn't show a missed call or voicemail. I have flashed back to 2.47.11 and am going to disable Battery Status. I was using it to overclock and am curious to see if overclocking might be causing the problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ercave1:
I too seemed to have a couple of lock ups/slow downs on my wizard mainly noticeable when trying to use the phone functions. At the moment I'm trying to weed out the culprit... At first I thought it was a BT problem, so I left BT off for a day and found that the problem persisted. I flashed the Radio to 02.25.11. I also noticed that my wizard seemed to lockup or slow down if I ignored PhoneAlarm's recurring notifications (SMS,EMAIL,VMAIL). Haven't had a lockup since disabling PhoneAlarm... I'll post any updates...

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to wish all you fine people, especially Jose< a happy thanksgiving. well, those of you in the states anyway. And Jose, you mentioned you had a file or something you wanted me to try ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dwny:
Just installed last night and all is good. Installed the following programs successfully:

WiFiFoFum2

iLauncher 3

SPB Weather

SPB to Play

SPB Backup

Omapclock / OmapclockPlus

WinMobileApps Phone Profiles 1.2

Resco Explorer

PortalPPC+StartPage 2.1

Eten Dialer & Colored Dialer

While checking voicemail & checking account...I noticed that the dialpad was inop. I can hear the tones but they don't send them. I tried both, long and short tones & uninstalled eten dialer and used the default dialer...same thing.

When you guys get a chance, check your voicemail to make sure it's isolated to me and not the ROM.

Thanks for the ROM Faria...Job well done!!!!

FYI: SPB Pocket Plus 3 not compatible with this and previous beta ROM, OS will not boot completely....hard reset with comm/camera & soft reset combination to recover.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] cuboosh:
well my phone has locked up on a soft-reset and gets to the today screen and constantly reboots now. nothing will load it just keeps rebooting. this happened a few hours after i installed im+ 4.23 ..for now i will be flashing back to a other 2.26 rom in wait of rc2. if neone else is using im+ 4.23 sucessfully please post so.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] huythach83:
It seem that the .exe file created by SPB Backup can run on this ROM version. Someone else please check if this is a real bug or it just happen with my device.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] blazoner:
Can't get my SPB Pocket Plus 3.1 to work either with/without dialer skins. :(

Can anyone confirm latest SBSH ILAUNCHER working with this ROM?

I'd like to know before I throw my money away....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] huythach83:
@blazoner: Good news for you, I'm currently running SBSH iLauncher ver 3.0.01 without any problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] blazoner:
That's great! Now, before I buy, what else is out there on the market? Last time I just jumped @ Pocket Plus because I had used it before. Time to take a deep breath, and a good look around.

A link to a comparison in an article, etc. would be great! I'd rather not hijack this thread any more than I already have....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] NetHead:
Installed this ROM a few hours ago and I've got this problem, as well. After about two hours and five hard resets of testing, I found that NextLine ProStudent was the cause of my problems.

At least for the time being, it looks like I'll have to look for another way to manage my grades. (Shame, that program cost $20, too.)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rkwhyte2:
Works great for me also for that matter I don't have a problem with any of the SBSH products running with this ROM. I have Pocketbreeze, Pocketweather and Ilauncher.

On a side note I had a couple of dropped calls over the last day not sure if it's the network or the software. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the network. I'll find out. Hope everyone has a great day.

due to so many incompatabilities of aku3 roms with several apps im considering realeasing a aku2 based rom for those u want.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jongoz:
Faria,

We hope that you will continue releases for AKU3 ROM.

Anyway, we all seen WM6 aka Crossbow's screenshots. Hopefully the ROM is leaked to public so that people like you, risidoro & molski can hack and install to our dear WIZARD. Just like when HTC Himalaya's got their WM5.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vseehua:
i think it's a good idea to do so until a real AKU 3.2 is released into the wild by our dear HTC
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] alexn2:
This is not the time to beat a retreat for a great ROM

Faria, great ROM aku3 except for a few minir bugs. Instead of retreating to the comfort zone there may be answers to the few issues here.

1. SPB Pocket Plus nothing you can do until SPB offers a solution.

2. Keyboard not responding to send tone to voicemail service. I have this problem, is it isolated to Cingular, US networks or all phones. Setup a poll of users to determine who is having this problem. My experience is sends the tone initially and the ceases.

3. SPB Diary works without difficulty

4. Users with synch problems with Outlook via Activesync. If your contacts don’t synch, uncheck contact synching (for newbies, only when activesync is not connected) then unplug your ppc, replug and the check contact sync and your contacts should synch.

4. If you upgrade to this ROM and your phone says anything other than OS 3.0, your upgrade was not successful, go back to the website of your phone company and get the stock rom for your phone and reflash, then find a good 2.0 Rom flash again before going back to this rom.

5. If your phone stops working period……. Yes you’ve bricked your phone but there is a solution. Look for the original Rom for the phone usually on the phone companys website and you will unbrick your phone. If your phone was locked before you bricked it, it will remain locked after you unbrick it. If it was unlocked it usually stays unlocked.

6. Soft Key and WM5NewMenu conflict with each other. First upgrade to version 2.0.2 then if you intend to us Wn5Newmenu go to settings Soft key and change the key you have assigned to WM5

As I think of em, I’let you in.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] cuboosh:
faria, that would be a awsome idea a aku2.3 include everythin from this rom and just change the aku to 2.3 :) rock on!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ernestm:
2.3 version

Faria, I am in support for 2.3 version for now. Specially for USA customers who can not temintate call properly with 3.2. Once button lock issue fixed I will be happy to jump back to 3.2. I like all your work and really want all options you manage to put into this 3.2RC1 to be availible on 2.3. Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] manfly9884:
2.3 Version

I second this. I realy appreciate your work and would like to see a 2.3 ROM with all the goodies your present ROM has, specially for us using US carriers.

Thanks again
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] markgamber:
Good idea! I haven't run into many compatibility problems but there are a couple, notably where iGuidance works...it talks to the GPS via bluetooth and the speech part works, but the map doesn't update or, if it does, only once every few minutes. Attempting to enter any menu freezes the program completely. I use that program a lot so it's unfortunate that it works that way. If you can put out an AKU2 rom with all the features and stability of the AKU3 rom, I'll certainly try it out.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rkwhyte2:
Alot of people are saying yes and I guess I understand why but I for one love this ROM and have very few problems. I say create the aku2 ROM but please don't stop working on this one it is one of the best I have run to date.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] alexn2:
I'm on the US Cingular network (Cingular 8125 Phone). I can terminate calls with my phone except that checking voicemails (and using a bluetooth headset) the voicemail system does not respond to key presses. Others please check your voicemail with bt and without. I just checked my with the phone direct and no problem.

Wow I just noticed I'm a junior member (cry) maybe a few kiddie posts will fix that? By the way I've tested most applications against this rom. The major bug is SPB Pocket Plus. Other SPB Apps do ok an d Wizbar works great
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
yes .i will not stop aku3 ,that is my priority,but i also understand tha users need compatability. i cannot support others develepors software it does not matter how good im.i have a new native aku3 rom made for the wizard its better than the 3.2... but it has 2 massive bugs.the best in the bussiness have been working on them with me for weeks but we had no success. i can also confirm that operators have aku3 roms for the wizard,but if the will release it .i dont know.

my intencion is to migrate to new roms as they are released ,so you guys will have the best rom around.i also know tha crossbow will be compatible to the wizard,of corse we may have to replace the drivers but that can be done.:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] daheufster:
softmenu contacts (right soft key button)

contactlist.

I notice that the contacts option is not working 100 %. When I activated contactlist and I activate the hardware keyboard the contactlist is deactivated. It will not stay active.

phone.

I also noticed that the phone / gsm function isn't working well. many time when I answer the phone the line isn't activated, (phone is displaying a connetion but their is no (phone)line.

bad response to program activation

WM2005 isn't responding very well to a task. You see the phone displaying the 'sandbox' but after a while WM2005 is returning to the today screen.

spb pocket plus insn't working but what the hell, i'm using ilauncher now. All other spb programs are working (diary and backup)

these are my issues

I have to say a big thank you for all your efforts so far, without your time and devotion we would all be running the standard ROMs the operators allow us to use :( . I am glad you are still making the AKU3 a priority :) With regards to the new Native AKU3 ROM, what are the 2 massive bugs? Do you have any more info on whether the operators will be releasing an AKU 3 ROM or even a crossbow ROM?

Hello Faria,

First of all, thanks for the great work you're doing. I tested both the 8Mb and the 12Mb ROMS and both worked fine on my G3 8125. There is only one thing I never was able to use: the MMS. I'm with Cingular and even with the service configurator built-in or the Cingular configurator cabs I was never able to send or receive MMS.

So I'm going back to an earlier rom and again, thanks for your hard work. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
to users that are having phone issues

try this;

open taskmanager ,go to services

disable the folowing service;

USSD(APP8)

REBOOT AND LETS SEE HOW IT BEHAVES.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] peraltah:
I was asked to post the files dude.

I was also letting you know that I had had the problem as well that it wasn't just you.

I think Jose would back me up by saying that the this thread is for actual problems, if you like to comment on what someone has written you should email them. Mine is listed. Lets stay on the topic of the thread so we don't lose the site of the actual goal.

Nuff said

EXCELLENT ROM! WOW so much preinstalled stuff, and STILL SO MUCH SPACE AVAILIBLE! GREAT JOB MAN!

Now the things I found bad with it

The skype in the ROM is an old version, can you put the new version in?

Extras folder in My Documents kind of annoying, can you put it in the root of the device?

Things I think you should do

Ability to have it automatically add in OpenDNS (Helps us Cingular users alot!)

Put IE Temp in Pocket IE folder in Storage Card (less folders, easier to navigate)

I have had no problems at all with or without blutooth headset (H700) with my Cingular 8125 (G3) on Cingular network that included no issues with voicemail.

I have to say I haven't found any issues with this rom that haven't already been addressed and taken care of so far.

I don't use alot of additional programs other than those supplied (maybe 5 more). It seems to me that is where most everyone's problems are probably arrising from. These issues probably will never be completely fixed through the ROM but will need to be addressed by the application programers themselves just like any piece of software trying to run on a newer operating system.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
1- yes

2-no,i like it that way

3- with so many people in cingular im sure one of you can make a cab file for the open dns,other networks dont have that problem,

4- it is allredy set to the storage card.

indeed.....

this an email i received from a user today,i could not said it better myself;;

Quote;

I was going through the thread this morning and read that you’re considering making an AK2 based ROM. I personally think it’s a great idea. Until software developers catch up to what you’re doing, there will always be issues.

Due to the range of skill level and because no 2 cell phones are the same….people will have complications that they can’t fix and blame the ROM. I’m not an expert myself but I know the do’s and don’ts and how to get myself out of a jam. Your ROMs are great. They do have little bugs in them but that’s to be expected because, you can’t create every scenario your ROM will face; that’s why you test, test, test. If everyone understood this, the threads wouldn’t get hijacked.

Going public was a learning experience I know. You get to find out who the jerks and newbies are. Not to take anything away from the newbies, they are just curios but are a danger to themselves. When I started out, I read and observed the threads for 3 months before I did anything outside of installing software to my device
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ernestm:
I set USSD(APP8) service to manual startup and then disable it and softreset the device. I check for more then 10 times, so far without any problem. I can use phone button to disconnect from call (included voicemail) with and without bluetooth connected. Will keep testing, but so far it works perfect. Now I can keep it untill next RC. Thanks :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
how did you call 10 people by accident if when the device only wakes up to lock itself? when the device detects anything touching the screen [when in standby it auto locks] are you sure the device is set to lock?

another thing,when you put the device in your pocket why dont you lock it first?

or are you saying the reverse,"the device unlocks itself and calls people"!!!

if that is the case you need to take your device to the local vodoo master:D

im getting confused:confused:

the reason for testing a rom is to find bugs and try to fix them,thats why i made public for everyone to help.if i did know how to fix them all i would not need anyone for testing.

whats seems to be happenig in the comunity allot is this;

ha ...this rom has a bug ,i cant be bothered ,let me downgrade to another.

well at this rate the bugs will never be fixed,because eventualy i will get bored to.

peace a love
