Hi Helmi,

Three things:

1. I remembered in previous roms that there was a bticon.dll which can be loaded as a service that displays the bt icon on the Today screen at the bottom right, just like the power_service.dll. I can't find it in this rom. Do you have that file?

2. Using both spb backup and sprite backup, doing a backup does not backup many dll files in windows directory. How can I do a backup of them?

3. I remembered reading somewhere in this forum that you are able to test A2DP with desktop computer. I have a cadmus usb bluetooth device, do you have the A2DP drivers for it? Hoping to use my i-Tech Radio bt headset with my desktop computer.

Thanks.

This is ROM is great but still has the issue with unable to sort tasks by priority (This problem existed in previous Helmi AKU32 ROM).

How do you change the phone's contact number priority from Contacts, then SIM. For example, if you have the same number in both SIM and Contacts, the SIM one will be displayed first when the contact calls and thus any details (e.g. picture) is not associated with this caller.

I also found registry settings for ShowSIM in Contact not to be in effect. For example, I dont want to show SIM entries in Contact, so I have to change ShowSIM from 1 to 0. But it is already 0. So I change it to 1, turn off, soft reset and then change it back to 0, turn off, soft reset and then it works.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
1. see attachment

2. Module base dll cant never be backup/copy, you must dump it with mamaich wm5_test dump, or buzz dumptool, but it will make the dll unusable. this usualy for localize purpose.

3. I use Bluetooth Bluesoleil v2.3 Stack for my PC.

My device didn't show SIM contact, I must use sim manager to see it... and about task... I never use it... hmm... maybe there's still something missing...

when i'm trying to unhide or resize it there's no EXTROM to unhide !! and then trying to resize using DOC_TOOL.exe get the error FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed. do u have any idea about Resize it back to 16MB? is my extrom area marged with my RAM area ? or no , it's lost ?

I downloaded the Official ROM of siemens sx66 that have a EXTROM (MS_.nbf) when i'm trying to flash it goes to 2% on device and then flash program gimme an error , and i've to restart my BA.

Hi, I just upgraded and almost everything seems great. I have 1 problem and a question.

After syncing and unplugging the cable, my device still shows im connected and I have to soft reset to get it to "disconnect" this happens EVERY TIME.

And what are the pros and cons of the 3.5 rom vs the 2.6 rom? The wiki said compatibility issues but can you be more specific? What is compatible and incompatible? Are there any other differences? eg performace?

Thanks

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
I'm 100% sure this is a DNS issue. It looks up the URL to find the IP address of the server. This explains why you can browse any site OK after the initial connection. I don't have this issue myself, and I've not heard of anyone talk about it. There was a thread on Modaco.com about the same issue occuring over GPRS about six months ago. IIRC the solution was to manually set DNS servers to use. This might work for you. A google for "free dns servers" will give you some to try; ideally get one close to you.*

Also, try the utility xvUtil. It has a host-lookup function you could use to test the DNS without having to use I.E. which will cache the requests. This tool will do a fresh lookup each time you hit "search".

* you can also use xvUtil to do a tracert to see how many hops away any DNS server is. The fewer the better.

Im also getting this VERY LONG delay using WiFi. Interestingly, I don't get the delay when I am hotsynced or connected using GPRS..

I also thought that it was a DNS problem, but when I give it the IP address of my ISP, I see no improvment at all in the response time, which wouldn't be the case if this was solely a DNS problem.

Missing icon

Helmi,

FYI, just realised that "Button 9" icon in "Buttons" unders "Settings" is missing. No problem with functionality though.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] zard:
Hi Helmi,

Thinks for the BTicon.dll (will try out later) and the infor on Desktop BT stacks.

Just curious though, with the A2DP working, I had tried working it with Windows Media Player and MS VC 1.6. This is my observation:

1. Once icon of A2DP appears, if I fire up Windows Media Player, mp3 streaming goes on fine. It stops after 2 seconds (with my first time install of this rom but last night, I did a fresh install of rom again and that seems to have gone away) and I need to either do the "Setting as Wireless Stereo" thing or stop and start BT again. If the Windows Media Player plays continuously, A2DP seems to works continuously without disconnection.

2. It also seems that I need to do either the "Setting as Wireless Stereo" thing or stop and start BT again to get icon of A2DP to appear (means A2DP started) to get MS VC 1.6 to work through my i-Tech Clip Radio, i.e. instructions from i-Tech Clip Radio and my commands through i-Tech Clip Radio mic.

3. If either Windows Media Player and MS VC 1.6 are not running, it seems A2DP will switch off.

Have you tested A2DP in the scenario above and is it like that?

BTW, now that GPSgate seems to work for me, I was wondering if you had found time to look at the Broadcomm BT stacks. Maybe that will solve point 3 above.

Thanks.

That could be the problem there, but i've found a simple solution for everyones WIFI woes. Everyone that is having slow responses with WIFI please use another browser, it seems that internet explorer isn`t working correctly after the reloading of the Roms. I cant understand why, but i've tried different browser and the web pages loads very quick.

Thanks for all the help and the replys.

Its still have some minor bugs but nothing thats to annoying. I was testing it for a couple days and with 3-4 soft resets it seems like its behaving its self now :D

A few bugs.

1) the signal bar doesn`t work correctly, its always show full strength.

2) On soft reset the psShutXP isnt found to be loaded.

3) the OS seems slow in responding to the main buttons. The dial and the hang up buttons. ( Green and Red)

BA won't repartition memory!

I have tried repartitioning as detailed in the WIKI but my BA won't do it!!

I downgraded to WM2003, tried repartitioning and nothing happened

Is there any other way of increasing the storage memory? I am currently on Helmi AKU3.5 1.4, and over the last week my storage memory decreased till there was none left!!

Maybe some program i installed was eating up memory so now I am considering changing to the Vanilla version to make sure i have the most memory available and start afresh, but it would be great to manage to partition first.

Any ideas!!

Telephone keypad problem

Hi!

I don't know if this has been discussed here before, but I've experienced a rather annoying problem both with Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.5 and Xplode 3.5 Rom versions.

When I'm on the phone and I have the usual buttons (Mute, Hold, Note, stb) I can't get back to the numeric keypad. On the softkeys I have Contacts and Menu while in the earlier versions I've had Keypad and Menu. Without the right softkey (Keypad) I'm stuck on this screen during phone calls. Is there a fix or a workaround for this problem?

Has this been figured out??

Helmi,

Wow. After playing around with the WM5 images early on, I walked away because the stability was not solid enough for heavy everyday use. Recently I loaded this ROM to "check the status" of things, and it is incredible how far it has come. I must say, this ROM is very good. But I have found one thing that continues to be a pain. I use my BA during the week, and switch to a motorola on the weekends (mostly because of size issues). However with all the WM5 builds, I encounter an issue when you you remove the battery. It clears the mail account settings, but keeps the mail account names reserved (I.E. if I go to re-create my mail account settings, I have to use a different name). Has this been addressed yet? Is there a workaround?

Thanks, again, what a wonderful build!!!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cdaly1970:
Ok, so I think I found a work around. From a little reading of this and other sites, the issue seems to be corruption of the cemail.vol file in the root of the device. While losing the account settings is a irritation, the big problem is the not being able to recreate the account with the same name. (I have a cab file that does this step for me, allowing me to only have to re-enter the password). And since I typically use an IMAP connection, losing the emails is not a concern for me (they stay on the server, and reload to the device during the first sync).

The solution is obvious, make a clean copy of the cemail.vol file, and over write the file with the backup when things "go bad". Unfortunately, this file is locked by a task running in the background, making it impossible to copy/move/rename.

Here is the work around, Spb Backup CAN copy and restore this file, and since it makes a self-executing restore file, the 5 use limit on the free download is enough to grab a clean copy of email settings. The way this seems to work is that it disables all the background applications, makes the copy, and restarts phone.

I tested this by creating a email account, and making a backup. Then I manually deleted the account, and restored the backup, and tada, the account was present.

Now, if we can get one of the most excellent XDA Developers to write a little application that mimics the process of the Spb Backup, we could have a tool that suspend the background tasks, copies the cemail.vol file to a safe location, and turns the phone off. (Now safe for battery removal). The sister task would be the restore of this file, in much the same manner (disable tasks, copy back of file to the root, and restart the phone.)

Anyone game of trying to come up with that?

This ROM is pretty good but I found two major issues so far:

Smart Dialer:

I tried the smart dialer fix posted in this thread and it didn't work. The software appeared to be loaded in the background but the smartdialer display was being very erratic. It would pop up for an instant just as I press a key and then go away. Also, it appeared as if smart dialer was expecting a different screen resolution since the text was all over the place and the font size was too big. For now, i'm using EzDial, but I'd much rather use Smart Dialer.

Speaker Phone:

The speaker phone softkey in the phone app doesn't do anything for me. I still have to hold down the green dial button to start/stop Speakerphone.
