Noticed a few issues with the XDA Live v0.20 while using it the last couple of weeks:

- Screen stays on after a missed call

Got called last night, phone rang a few times, then the caller hang up. But the screen stayed on for like 15~20min. Seen this happen before.

- Sometimes can't send text messages

I have bad reception at home so I sometimes get the popup a message couldn't be send. But when this happens the messages stays in the Outbox.

Last night I got a different popup that said sending the message had failed and it was moved to the Drafts folder. After 10min of trying to send the message i the yard, where I have full reception, I finally had to reset my phone.

ROM is working perfectly, cept for some minor issues with software like pRSSreader and SPB Mobile shell. Thanks again kyphur.

Hey there, first post on XDA though I've been reading and reading lately.

I wanted to share my experience with this ROM. I'm in IT and have no fear of doing just about anything to workstations, servers, etc., but for some reason I've always feared bricking my phones. That said, I've just upgraded to 0.21 on my 8525 (with Acrobat because I'm feeling too lazy to get an alternate :rolleyes: ) and it was *easy*. This is the first time I've ever "unlocked" a device, let alone flashed a rom.

I followed the guide by MrVanx found here: http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/wmxl/index.html

Took his advice and upgraded the bootloader before doing anything more serious. I skipped the radio upgrade as I don't (yet) want to get into that. Both the bootloader upgrade and flashing to the new XDA Live ROM were painless and didn't take very long at all.

Granted I've only spent about an hour poking around in WM6 here, but so far it seems generally faster and MUCH more responsive than the default WM5 ROM that came loaded on the Cingular 8525. I'm loving the task manager in particular that's included here. :) So many little things I've seen already that normally I'd have to install 3rd party apps to achieve. So many little tweaks that make the whole user experience much more pleasing.

My thanks to XDA-Developers, kyphur and mrvanx in particular for the great work they've done.

Now to go figure out how to fix the hard keyboard - seems the keys are not all mapped correctly, but I'm sure I've seen a fix already posted. Just have to dig it out again :)

Really simple to install, nice clean prompts and all the right warnings!!

Voicemail text notification still broke (wasnt expecting for it to be fixed though..)

Thanks for sliding in the sync.ico that works fine with Vista!!

I'm going to try some of the cabs from the orange wm5 ext rom to see if I can figuire out what does the vm txt management.... I've not seen this with WM5 without an EXTrom so I'm not convinced I'll find anything....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jompao:
Thanks to the team!

Looking forward to installing on my Tytn as soon as I get it back from repairs (digitizer screen suddenly stoped to work correctly, it didn't even help to realign it). Almost 40MB free, I like it!

Live 2.01 and Exchange server

Pushmail functionality with exchange server extremely important for me. I see it was reported before problem accessing exchange server. Is it fix in this release? Can anyone confirm that mail, calendar and contact can be sync with Exchange 2003 using pushmail technology? I want to upgrade to this baby, but can not afford to lose exchange server pushmail. Thanks

Wow.. esay install..

Getting the device to show up via activesync was easy this time.. Had to go into Settings -> Connections and uncheck "Advanced Networking" on the USB to PC.

Thanks for the ROM!

Now, to play with it more!

all works great, seems my local cell has reverted to 3g as its normaly umts, only niggel is the handsfree icon is black where i foun in the vanilla rom it was white which i found easier to see in the dialpad
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vulkanxxv:
INCREDIBLE!!!

Usually, to be able to keep the 3G signal, in need to use a Vo data Card with antenna...

NOW MY TYTN is under 3G!!!

GREAAAAT JOB.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Same thing sir, the icon that represents the 'U' on older ROMs now says '3G'. 3G is just the usual buzz word crap, there is a way to change it i think?!?! Are you bothered??! :)

Could you please confirm the status of your 3G connection by doing a speedtest?? There has been a bug where the 3G/UMTS icon is shown even though you are infact connected to GSM/GPRS. Goto the bandwidthplace speedtest on your TyTN adn post back here what you get. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zbee:
no i was saying that even the operator info when wirless plugin is enabled doesnt say umts either, i suspect the cell site may be down as my other fone is also saying 3g aswell...just to check ill flash back to vannilla to confirm, the icon color is really me main concern;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Spuddy:
800k/sec. 3G definately.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
The 'UMTS' part is added to the network name when you are connected to a 3G(aka UMTS) network, this is disabled in XDA-Live by default but...

By setting the following registry key to 1 (instead of 0):

HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting/Enable3GLongNamePrefix

Your operator info will now have the 'UMTS' line before your network name when connected to 3G.

You could change it to add '3G' or 'zbee' by simply edditing the following:

HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting/LongNamePrefix

By default it says UMTS, lol i might change mine to 3G hehe.

This may be the same case with Vanilla ROM aswell.

Hi,

i just post my problem here too have also postet it in issue tread:

.... ok some strange things goes on ....

sometimes i have an H icon... but after a few seconds it disapears...

then it comes back....

did anyoneelse have this error???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xda2sd:
I can confirm
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stewcp:
I had few problems with the previous release... and I can confirm tht this one works as well (hopefully better)...

My speedtest results comes in at 605.7 k/s - though I'm not really sure what speed I should have, I know this is definitely a 3G connection and its far better than GPRS, so I'm happy!!!

Right then, lets load this baby and see what she's like ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Sounds like you have 3G for sure, but not HSDPA. T-mobile does have HSDPA coverage here in the UK so you could give customer services a bell and get it enabled on your account?!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
I'm at my office now, I have my eniter RomKitchen on a USB drive (gotta love VMWare) but I really need to get caught-up on some work today.

As I get free time, I'll gather my notes on regkeys and which .dlls you can point to for the Band Icons. Heck we might even be able to transplant an icon for one of the AKU 3.3 Roms to get you looking right. To be honest though, I'm more concerned with if you are connecting and getting expected speeds.

There's talk of an application that will basically replace the Operator Customization (and do a lot more) so you can preload your extended rom (or storage card) with things you find useful and automate a lot of the set-up that is required when you hard-reset. Of course this will work with any Rom but the author is honoring my by considering to debut the product in WMXL v0.30!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] futureshock:
ok i think this hsdpa iconenable key should work in wm6 too:

just creat in

HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\RIL

EnableHSDPAIcon dword:1

i think i'm in a place where the reception not perfect for hsdpa... because of that sometimes the H appears and then 3g is back... in the bubble is also the same thing... hsdpa and then back to 3G (or what ever you enter... like explained above)

have just run a few speed test's

when i use speed test from here (1mb) http://dslreports.com/mspeed

i became really bad speeds reporter (around 300-400) with HSDPA

when i use the speed test that offers my company for our costumers

http://kmu.telekom.at/kundenbereich/Internettools/speedtest.php

i get around 1000 this is quite good even i had more... but my office is directly under a aerial mast and because of that it can be that i can't use full speed... this mast's beam's horizontaly...

also found 2 small "bugs"

1. in the aero theme it looks like that some of the text colors are set to the background color ...

2. XCSdM Bluetooth Voice Command isn't working anymore... when i want to save i became an error and then app ends without saving ... because that i can't use the bluetooth headset alternatively my bluetooth carradio with voicecommand... (what works fine... (german version))

mybe anyone can confirm my sights...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] futureshock:

Hi,

If I am understanding correctly you are looking for a H icon when connected to HSDPA?

If so yo need to add "EnableHSDPAIcon" and set it to value 1 under

HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\RIL

That should display "H" icon....

Hope thats what you were looking for

cheers

Sorry didnt see that someone already answered that.....Sorryyyyyy

as for GPRS disconect you can use BandSwitch to togle between umts/gps and also set it to disconect if idle.

as for manualy disconecting the conection use SPBGPRS Monitor it has a disconect button.

Hope it helps
