Okay something else weird..

I noticed since going to this my battery life has been horrible. I mean I would loose 50% battery life easy without even using the phone and only have push email through an 11hr period and sometimes more.

Seems like wayyyy too much battery just for push email then I started to notice that when I locked my screen it would activate and turn back on by just touching the screen etc and this is when it was set to only turn on by the power button.

So I went into settings/system/key lock and it was set to only activate by power button. I had to change the setting to something else and then switch it back to only turn on by power button and it seems to be working correctly now but I will test some more.

Any else have this problem?

I posted some other problems earlier but I must be the only one experiencing them..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
I like it,

Just to see how it looks, I changed the size to 320 by 320, moved the text and orb a bit (to ensuere proper display in landscape) and saved it as welcomehead.96.png. Then replaced the file in my wondows folder so it is the 3rd splash screen (Windows Boot Screen) on my device.

Unless I hear to many objections this might be incorporated into v0.20!

hey kyphur

my motorola 850 works fine for the basic phone operation but as far as the bluetooth audio program for listening for music.... nada. im finding that it will come on, i can hey that the headset detects the program. but the music playing to media player or sounds dont go to the headset. is there a program u recommend that i use. im still not good at the registy edit. but if thats what i gotta do they hey im ready.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Okay to elaborate more on this I notied a bug..

When I lock my phone if I just wait and let the screen turn off by itself then it will turn back on by just touching the screen. It should not do this it should only turn back on by pressing the power button.

Now if I lock my screen and then turn the screen of by pressing the power button then it works correctly and will only come back on by pressing the power button like its suppose to..

I hope that makes sense and I have tried it serveral times and I get the same results..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hustle:
no my battery life is unbelivable even after playing music texting. i think in the htc tweaks u can increase battery life.

which push email service are you using
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] digitalfx:
I have not noticed a decrease in battery life, if anything my battery is lasting longer (I am using exchange and get alot of email- but use the radio little)

The Bluetooth is a downgrade for me though. My previous version (see sig) connected to my car fine, and all functions worked well...but now I can pair the two and connect once, then I cannot connect again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] coercri:
I woke up this morning to my phone being completely drained, I didn't have it on charge, but it was well full (about 70%) the night before, and all would normally be OK, and I don't have push mail active....

It may be a problem...

The orb can't be moved without loosing the color shadows but you can resize it to make it smaller and then move it without loosing the color shadows effect.

(I already did it)

But.. do we need it?

When my device boots splash screens are always in portrait mode.

If you reset your device while the keyboard is slid out the windows splash will be landscape.

Ya know, that's exactly what happened to me the first time and man was I frustrated. I mean why have a stereo headset just for phone calls.

Well I was tinkering and since the AVRCP (you know play/pause, next track/prev track) was working I cranked up the volume and discovered that I was infact streaming Audio! Try turning up the volume on your headset and WMP, see if that does anything.

I just tested with my gMail Account and it works as expected.

I trust you are aware of the whole gMail issue in that once an item is marked as downloaded via POP then it will dissapear from your inbox?

This means if you are popping gMail from a PC and your phone anything you d/l on PC will never show up on the phone and once you've read something on the phone it won't show up either on the phone or at your PC.

Look in your gMail Account setting and set Pop flag to download everything in your inbox (right now there should be a time stamp there).

I get around this my forwarding all of my gMail to an IMAP account, works so much better.

Modifying the OS Version is one of the steps that needs to be completed for me to be able to switch to the other base Rom. I'm still waiting for a list of other things I might have missed.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
No Problem, but just wondering have you contacted their tech support. They might be aware of issues with WM6.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DAFTEK:
No since they ask what phone you have and the 8525 comes with WM5 :( I just tried to install again, no go, When I try to install GoodLink it says "not compatable with this OS" wtf, maybe theres a way to fool the install or something?

I'm still having hard keyboard problems i'm afraid. After installing the 8525 keyboard fix, I get the following:

Alt Q = ~

Alt W = !

Alt E = @

Alt A = ;

Alt S = -

Alt D = _

Alt F = ?

Alt C = :

All the other key combo's are correct, however, when I change the QWERTY reg key under hklm\software\oem to 20409, everything works except the below strange combo's.

Alt and Z = File Explorer

Alt and X = IE

I wouldn't mind so much, but alt Z I use quite alot for apostrophe's!

I just wanted to thank you for only changing the welcomehead, addin the devicebeta..and also fixing the splash.nb.

Its much easier to adjust the windows welcome screen and devicebeta, if a person what's to, rather than try to fix a modified boot splash, atleast I think so.

edit: I guess since Im postin, has anyone woke up to their device being froze? I tried leaving it on the charger and off, with both days wakin up to it being froze, tonight Im just going to leave it without clickin the screen off with the power button, and see if that helps

the windows default theme wallpaper on today screen in the upper part has the same color as the selected item background so it is kind hard to see if u have selected something which does not have a text (eg icons on spb pocket plus)

If anyone remembers I had Internet problems with XDA Live on day one release. I had no time to look at it so I went back to CIngy 2.06 for a few days. Today I went back to XDA Live and played with it for a while. I was doing well for about 30 min, then again no internet, not Wifi, even though it would connect and also no GPRS. Upon further troubleshoot, I found that Internet Sharing would work on my laptop so I tried opera mobile and that worked, only if I was previously connected to the GPRS connection. So I have 2 problems: 1. Internet will not autoconnect anymore. 2. PIE wont work at all even I had forced a connection some other way.. I am looking through the registry now. Also I have deleted the GPRS connections and re-added them. Also the with or without proxy connection do the same.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
This is the same with Blackberry Connect.

We're working to change the OS Version from 5.2.XXX to 5.1.XXX as apparently that has allowed Universal WM6 users to install Blackberry Connect.

Patience if we can get it changed then the fix will be easy!!!

He stated clearly that he applied the 8525 Keyboard Fix.

I did notice this in his sig: SPV M3100 (Hermes)

I thought that the Keyboard issue was only with 8525. I would recommend looking in the your operator ext_rom for a cab file with something like "Shoe_String" in the name if you are having keyboard mapping issues with anything other than an 8525.

Only reply if you are using settings that worked in WM5. Please no more questions asking for MMS settings. You should know where to get them if you know enough to flash this Rom.

For what it's worth, I know MMS works, I have tested it myself using Cingular (Orange) without proxy settings.

Hey Thanx. Whether you meant to or not, that helped. Was not aware those were cab files, they showed up as War files on my puter. Put them on my storage card and they worked. Had originally unzipped them and put them on there.

There is a fix for that issue! It took me a while to find out, but it works perfectly.

In the gmail account settings of outlook mobile, add "recent:" in front of your username, Eg. "recent:kyphur"

Now messages downloaded on your PC wil still show up on your phone and vice versa. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BigBen:
@dodadent Do you mean your battery meter used to go in 1% increments?

Kyphur if he is saying he used to have increments of 1% it would be cool to see if you could find out how he got that, and put it in XDA Live! Seems like lots of people have asked for it.

Thanks for testing that and reporting.

I will be updating the List of Issues Tonight.

Before I lay my little head (and big budda belly) down to sleep tonight, I will review this thread and complete the lists of Known & Fixed Issues. I will also try to compile a list of "Work Arounds" such as the gMail "Recent:" username prefix but I think most of these will be fixed issues that have always existed not really fixing WM6 specific issues.

I am a little behind on the v0.20 Beta but should have it ready this weekend. I think I'll keep it to a small group for a few days so we can hopefully find most of the major issues that remain. I want to get it into everyone's hands sometime next week.

Once WMXL v0.20 is publicly released, I will close the WMXL v0.10 threads as we should focus on the newest version.

Thank you for your patience as we iron out the wrinkles.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BigBen:
@dodadent

Understood. I don't know how you had that detailed battery meter reading, I thought all Hermes, whatever their carrier label, went in 10% jumps. Those of us with the Cingi 8525 have always had to put up with that.

Maybe Kyphur or someone more technically qualified than I will be interested in looking into this with you, and maybe putting it into the XDA Live ROM, if possible.

It also depends on how much interest there is in having that feature. Kyphur has a lot on his hands as it is.

Regards,

I am suddenly having a bizarre issue that I have not seen anyone else post, I am assuming some type of registry fix will take care of this. I installed opera and when I click on a link in any email, rather than take me to PIE it attempts to take me to Opera, because opera launcher attempts to launch but fails. I thought perhaps I had caused opera to become the default internet browser, but have checked and that is not the case. Anyone else having this problem and anyone know how to fix? Thanks in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
I can not find anything in the registry strange, but after deleting and doign the Cingular connections over, the device will auto connect for Pocketweather and connect for Opera when first opening a webpage. PIE is still totally dead both GPRS and Wifi.

Also I havent tried actually wathcing CV yet but I can get to my custom CV webpage as I used too, but I can not get MediaNet homepage to open.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
I don't use MediaNET because apparently you have to be setup to use Cingular's proxy servers to access it and I don't like to use Proxies.

COuld that be your MediaNET Problem?

Hi,

Firstly thanks for this great ROM, I am really enjoying playing with it. My issue is that I have been using the version of Excel Mobile to edit spreadsheets that are saved in My Documents, and every now and again after editing a file when I click OK it says it can't find the file and so doesn't save the changes. Has anyone else had this problem? I hope it's something simple as Excel is the only program I use daily (I use it for my markbook/ register).

Thanks again, and keep up the fantastic work!

I'm using XDA Live since yesterday. My GPRS monitor shows I have downloaded 22MB today over UMTS. I only have PIE + PiePlus installed. I have configured my GPRS connection myself. Also browsing network shares over WiFi worked just fine.

So I can't report any internet/connectivity problems.

I have successfully installed necessary stuff to get Video Calls working.

I will try to find out which REG needs to get applied as I don't like the other customisations that the HTC cab does aside making Video work.

The only problem I have with XDA Live is that SPB Pocket Plus doesn't soft reset. Today I upgraded SPB to latest version but that didn't help. Soft reset results in screen going black, device then needs stylus-reset.

Hi

@Mix about the lockups, I don't use any today plugins at all, and hadn't installed really anything except resco explorer and registry much the first night, I dunno..just have to see, I did have the same problem with WM5 early on at times, but I haven't installed any of the old ext rom, so theres no relation to ext rom.

@Kyphur, I had found these gmail settings so I could set it to receive the whole mail body, since "999 kb" isn't listed like the old WM5 fix

But I kept getting copies of mail I sent in my inbox, so I just set it to original settings and 50kb of body, not sure if usin the "googlemail.com" was causin that or not, but no its not really an issue with like the rom, its just how WM6 differs from WM5, all would be the same if there was a 999kb setting for mail body.

I noticed someone speak of a task manager I found task manager 2.7 (freeware) its a very good app I think, here is a link http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1612 Im pretty sure dotfred the creator is a member here too, and his app is already likely listed on the forum.

I don't use bluetooth or wifi, so I stopped the 3 bluetooth services, and the wifi service, and set them all to manual instead of automatic, it seems to maybe have sped things up a tad, or could be my imagination. I also applied a few of the font cache, and other tweaks supposed to help performance on wm5 with sktools, and it has either helped, or did nothing at all, Im really not sure, but I haven't ran into any more low mem warnings yet today.
