It didn't work after I upgraded to 2.06. I did the registry tweak and that didn't work all the way. The only thing that did work is running th shoestring from the wiki. That put everything back in the correct place.

I just figured I'd help. Last time I do that again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] xultar:
Tried that. It didn't work fully some keys were still out of place. The only thing that did work was the shoestring cab. I wouldn't have posted it if it didn't or did the same thing as the registry tweak.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fone_fanatic:
@ckd, what company is your hermes? Also i just edited my ExtRom and removed the ShorString_Keypad_XML and i didn't have the symbol issue after a hard reset, so maybe you should try that and it'll fix your start key issue.

Also you have a tab on your keyboard? My JasJam doesn't have a tab...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ckd:
@xultar: ? I hope you didn't misinterperate my reply in a negative way? I do appreciate your response, and was just seeking more info on it?

@fone_fanatic: It's an HTC TyTN... so you think perhaps that it's ShortString that is actually causing the problem? As unexcited as I am about doing another hard reset, if that's what it'll take, then so be it! :)

Again, thanks to both of you for the replies!

Its worth giving it a shot. On my JasJam after upgrading to this rom i only noticed that the symbols were mixed up, didn't try the start or OK buttons on the keyboard, did the reg tweak and it worked. but now since i was messing around with the Ext_Rom i thought, why not lets get rid of this thing and see what happens.

Got rid of the Shorstring_Keypad, hard reset and no symbol issues, and then before my previous post i read your post about having a problem with the start key and got scared, checked my start and ok keys and nope, they're working fine.

Hi all,

After installing the new Cingular 2.06, some keys from the keyboard are shown wrongly. Ex:

! => @

@ => ?

; => _

and some more...

I am using X01HT and tried to ix it by registry but could not! Do you have some solutions???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fone_fanatic:
u deserve to be shot....

READ the page right before your POST!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ckd:
So, interestingly enough... did a hard reset, as suggested, and by default, the keyboard layout was correct, symbols and all... this time, however, i did _NOT_ install that ShortString cab...

I let the phone do the first round of customizations but not the ExtROM, and I'm good to go..

thanks for the assist, fone_fanatic!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cyberdrakula:
As the ROM is from Cingular (hence 8525), there would/should not be a problem for the 8525. I have one and there are no problems with the keyboard issues.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nugift:
I tried to change the registry to '123105' before posting but it did not work and got worse than before! :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fone_fanatic:
try changing the layout key to 20409 Hex.

sorry for my initial response but i've been up all night and getting really annoyed of the same question over and over.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fone_fanatic:
No problem, now that you have not installed the extrom, does the button which is usually assigned to voice dialer work normally, or is mapped to PTT?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] steven814:
Please excuse the stupid question but I am new at this. If I upgrade to the new 2.06 rom and it is not working right can I run the ruu for the 1.34 rom and restore the phone. thanks for all that you do on the site.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nugift:
Oh no, don't mind about that. We all appreciate your responses much and know how people like you feel when getting the same questions over and over.

The original dword of 'Layout' is 132105 Dec, it is correlative as 20409 Hex (US English). When I changed to 123105 Dec, Hex will be '1E0E1'. I don't know what kind of layout related with this Hex???

Is there any solution? Thanks for your help! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fone_fanatic:
Oops, thats a typo on the wiki, it should be 132105 Dec 20409 Hex for US english as you've stated. I guess the next thing to do would be taking out Shortstring_Keypad_XML.CAB from the ExtRom, fairly simple process but hard reset is involved.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ckd:
Sorry for the delay, it takes a few hours for my restore to run! Anyway, the side button is in fact mapped to PTT without the ExtROM customizations.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
thats correct, this is hard coded into the rom

If you stream XM from www.XstreamXM.com/mobile it doesnt work through PIE with the new ROM presumably because of the proxy. I tried it through Opera Mobile and it does work.

Given the changes regarding POFs new v3 updater....

If I was to go and first make my 8525, superCID and put BL 1.01 on it and were to then flash to the new 2.06 rom ( the whole rom including the radio )

If someone were to later get us a cooked rom with WM6 would I still be able to roll that onto it?

Thanks for your suggestion. I installed Shortstring_Keypad_XML.CAB and it ran quite well without hard resetting. But it works 99% only! Because there is a mix-up between keys ", and .", the rest is fine.

Boy howdy...in fact after the upgrade, the battery management seems almost too good to be true. I'm now getting the same standby and talk times on my 8525 that I was getting previously on the 8125. This AKU 3.3 - 2.06.502.3 ROM seems to have significantly improved power management.

Hello Everyone.

When I installed the new 2.06 rom with the ExtRom, I could press and hold the comm key and it would alternate betwen vibrate and normal ring.

Without the ExtRom this is missing.

I cant figure out which one in the ExtRom adds this.

Anyone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] megarek:
oholic,

As far as the freezing and restarting goes, I sometimes have the same issues on this rom as well as the old one when running SPB pocketplus and diary. I really think the instability has something to do with one of those two programs. Something that helped me before was installing any program that accesses that today screen on the main memory, not an SD card. Also, for some reason, I think that disabling the PocketPlus taskbar battery indicator (a great feature) may have helped with some of these issues, but have not tested it enough to give a definitive answer.

Anyway, I really like those two programs, so the occasional restart isn't enough to get me to stop using them. One day, I'll try to SBSH equivilents to see if the stability is a little better.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] wpbear:
USIM is the newer SIM that supports UMTS/HSDPA not a normal 64K SIM. Cingular reports the old SIM causing phone freezes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
cause this feature is installed by the first 3second customization its provisioned by an xml file. this is what is in the xml file if you want to try to add this to the registry yourself

- <characteristic type="Registry">
- <characteristic type="HKLM\Software\OEM\Button">
<parm name="PhoneVibrateButton" datatype="integer" value="1" />

which means go to HKLM\Software\OEM\Button and add "PhoneVibrateButton" and give it a value of 1

you will also have to copy TrayIcon_MannerMode.lnk from \Windows to \Windows\Startup

I was looking for the file to instal it on the htc ROM, I tried the cingular rom but wanted the task manager and not all the fluff (i call it fluff more so cause i can't use it with rogers in canada ie PTT) I had found the xml file and edited my registry accordingly but i knew there was an additional file that i was missing. I thought it would have been a .cab file rather than lnk
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] wpbear:
Did you run the entire Ext ROM, because after the Cingular ROM and no Ext_ROM I was showing U always even though I was in an E only area. The Ext_ROM fixed this.

Try another hard reset, if not check your Ext_ROM and make sure all the files are there, these at a minimum:

I have been reading all 50+ pages of this thread with keen interest. I am toying with the idea of installing the Cing Upgrade, but then again, I have no use for the PTT feature (I already pay Cingy quite a bit every month, and this is just another add-on, as far as I'm concerned).

I've been using Sleuth's PTTFix to give me access to that key to use for other things (Alt-Tab and Voice Dial on Press & Hold), and I like the way it works on my phone now.

So if I install this upgrade, am I stuck with it being a (useless4me) key that only gives me PTT? Or will I be able to program it the way I can using Sleuth's wonderful hack?

Can anybody answer this?

what if I chang Radio version able to fix ???

then I can't send message always say (can't sent message ) do you know how to fix ??

thank you

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jamiefiedler:
just installed the 2.06 update via the exe. installation went without any problems!

so far, a number of nice improvements:

- screen rotation delay is vastly improved - redraw is nearly instant.

- in fact, *everything* is faster. there is a definite speed increase in general UI tasks.

- can access text messages stored on the sim card (finally!).

- activesync brings up a status bar when authenticating, and has a small status icon at the bottom next to battery when connected. can click to disconnect activesync without unplugging usb cable (allows it to keep charging).

- cingular video works out of the box. http://cingularvideo.cingular.com/

- PTT works.

- contacts window no longer redraws incorrectly when opening/closing keyboard.

- all aspects of the phone have been rebranded at&t (not an improvement really, but looks nice)

i'm *very* pleased with this firmware upgrade!

EDIT:

- holding comm manager button toggles ring/vibrate mode!

- nullkb is no longer needed - the OS automatically defaults to the hardware keyboard instead of popping up the soft keyboard at the bottom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] kelkin:
Ok, after being on this ROM for a few days, I've noticed that the phone always displays a G even when in an Edge area. I've seen the E pop up once or twice, so I know it'll display.. it just stays switched to GPRS I guess.

Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions as to what the most stable ROM is to use on the Cingular network? The one it came with wasn't great either, it kept switching to Edge when in a UMTS area.

Ahhhh.. I guess the radio update didn't take, re-reading the post I see the radio is at a higher version now. Instead of using mtty, am I safe to just use the full RUU updater since they came out with the Sim/CID Unlocker V3? Or is it still better off to keep the BL at 1.01?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] kelkin:
Thanks. Is there a way to flash the radio only using mtty? I don't see instructions on the wiki, and looking at an old post from pof it says the only way to update the radio is to do a full flash first, then flash the OS and EXT rom you want after.. but I'm guessing that's no longer accurate since the file you linked contains only the radio, right? I flashed back to 1.03 and tried the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe for the heck of it but it wouldn't run on my unit.

-Keith
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] kelkin:
Actually.. I'm noticing now that I have IPL 1.01 still.. and SPL-1.04 after following the instructions on the WIKI for flashing 1.04 back.. hmm...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] wpbear:
If you are still on Radio BL 0107 then the safest way to flash radio only is with the SPL 1.04 and run the MaUpgradeUt_noID /NBF style of radio upgrade as outlined in the wiki.

1.27 is the newest and works well.

If you are on radio BL 0108 then you have to wait for the NBH flashing instructions that hopefully will be posted soon.
