I have already posted a workaround about this

as soon as I flashed the new ROM...

That was way back this thread though..... :p

anyways..

Suspend phone and then wake It up by pressing on/off button

Volume level will be restored to where it should be
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Steveborough:
Low volume with update

This seems to work until reboot:

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume

add: DWord value name = volume

value data = 4294967295

then press power (sleep) wait 10 sec and press power again

This rom made a significant difference on my phone. Everything is extremely snappy - programs start up faster as well. Tomtom took around 30 - 40 seconds to start up before. Now, it starts up in about 5 seconds!

Thanx for answering. The only thing which stops me from upgrading.

I also found this quite annoying..But MikeRuoc seemed to have found the answer:

but I found it only worked if I deleted the EnableAutodetect line; otherwise if i just changed it to 1, it would return with the 0 and proxy detect set to yes on reset. So just delete it if you use isp.cingular

Anyway now it works fine with isp.cingular

The only other really annoying issue is the low volume...Luckily SugarDad has already listed a workaround. I hate workaround's, but at least it works

How to flash the radio only of the new cingular rom?

I flashed my 8525 in mtty this parts that I extracted with nbhextract from the new rom 2.06 in this order:

Main splash

sub splash

Ext rom

os

Now I want to flash the radio that is .nb, when I flashed the 1.27 radio it is in .nbf and I dont know if I can flash it in mtty and if I need an address like the command for the ext rom(""57500000"") or just do this:

USB> task 32

USB> lnb gsm.nb

USB> task 8

Will this ok?

I have 1.01MFG bootloader

I tested the 8525 and is working great but I want the new radio to test if it solved some drop calls betwen 3g and 2g.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] crosswind:
I don't have "EnableAutoDetect" in my reg., must be because I didn't install the ext. rom.

So far everything seems to be working well, I installed the rom from the exe so I have the radio as well (this will probably bite me in the ass later on).

Sleuth, if you read this; thanks again for your PTTFix!! It saved the day, or the rom for me.

**Definitive 1.09BL question answered here!!**

I am going to keep this short and to the point to avoid confusion with minimal detail, just a simple yes/no with a minimal explanation

The Bootloader for the phone and bootloader for the Radio is 2 completely different things.. with that being said:

YES you can downgrade spl to 1.01MFG

NO you cant dongrade radio using the simple update utilities
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
@vijovame: flash spl 1.04, and flash radio after. See the wiki mfg bootloader page for detailed instructions.

Any news on the BT stack for this thing?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] patmannyc:
I am using this ROM w/radio 1.20 and am very pleased with the phone. Its sluggish on boot but after you load up, its much snappier than the 2.3/2.6 ROM's. I forgot to test the a2dp (MS AKU 3.0+= supposedly better BT functionality) and wifi performance, but am very pleased with just about everything else.

I did get stuck at the new WM splash screen on a reboot, but rebooted again and it was fine and hasn't happened since. I also froze the phone once, thought I was going to have to reset, but it came back to life after about 10 seconds.

I am considering upgrading the radio to 1.27 again, but fear for my battery life. Anyone have success with 1.27? I am not touching the 1.3x radios until they can be downgraded...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] y2whisper:
Indeed it is it basically is a regedit that gets installed as a customization, since i am not to fond of this one and am going back to the test version I am going to try to install it there as well.

(overall swe is fastest but missing some stuff that wwe has)

Here is what I have from the xml file:

- <wap-provisioningdoc>

- <characteristic type="Registry">

- <characteristic type="HKLM\Software\OEM\Button">

<parm name="PhoneVibrateButton" datatype="integer" value="1" />

</characteristic>

</characteristic>

</wap-provisioningdoc>

Seems like a convenient add on when walking into a meeting, will follow up if i can just edit the reg for this

EDIT: Seems that there is more to it, I should have taken all the xml files from the preconfig, for me I won't do that for now....ok maybe this afternoon but we will see

Thanks to everyone here for the helpful information - in particular Sleuth255 for his n00b-friendly step-by-step guide way back on page 6.

Overall I'm really happy with the new ROM; the system seems slightly faster overall, but WAY faster in certain operations where I always noticed a lot of lag before; ie, switching tabs in the control panel, bringing up the sip selector menu, opening the Windows folder in File Explorer, etc.

In regards to Cingular Video, I can pull up the site but still get that error message. Stating the billing system cannot validate your account, err something. For everyone that is using Cingular Video and have it working. Can you go online to Cingular.com and see if their is anything in your "Features" that refer to cingular video? I thought about calling that 1-800 number that listed on Cingular Video, but I'm afraid someone will jack up my MediaMax or plan.

Cingular Acceptance Testing

You know I've been reading all the posts and the ROM sounds really promising! I think Cingular owes XDA a monetary donation for all the testing being done on their TEST Rom..

How else could they have tested this ROM on SO MANY devices in so many areas of the US is such a short time??? What One day!!!

No way No How...

Leaked ROM... I don't think so!

PTT

Ok, for those wondering about how PTT works on the 8525 here's what I've experienced.

1)Works great if you're starting a PTT call from the 8525. The PTT button works as it should.

2)The delay in making the connection is 2-3 seconds...which is what I remember it being in the past. Once connected transmission of messages is quick.

3)If you get a PTT call from another phone as I have tested with a Samsung D357. Your 8525 rings, you answer the call, and the call screen comes up. At this point the call is not sent to the loud speaker initially. You must hit the "Keypad" option, hit the "Speaker On" button. Then to begin speaking you have to hit the "Keypad" option again to bring up the dialpad, then you must hit the "#" key to talk and "*" to allow the other party to talk. This is a major flaw IMHO and a pain.

Still need to test w/ BT headset.

All in all it works but, needs these issues ironed out. Anybody else having these issues?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
Mine does not work in this manner.... if after the person is done speaking and you hit and hold the PTT button you can start speaking after the tone, then when done you simply release the button to end your transmission.. just like a walkie talkie..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ercave1:
Strange... Are you initiating the call? It works the way you mentioned here for me, but only when I initiate the call. If the other party initiates the call it work as I mentioned in my earlier post. I can live with this, but it is bit of a nuisance. :)

EDIT: Noticed that Voice Message option is not available yet. (grayed out in options)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:

i actually flashed the whole ruu... wasnt worried about the other stuff, so i have the 1.33 radio that was included... i will be interested to see if this is tied into the radio.. if it is then there may be issues trying to port this to other devices as i had planned on..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:

or

Delete the WAVFile Key to remove the sound only.

or

Put your own .GIF file or .WAV file on the phone and rewrite the 2 keys to the new file location.

ok so that fixes the volume problem.. but how do i get to that?
