VPN?

I have my 8525 set up for Internet Sharing with my laptop, works fine for web browsing. When I run VPN on the laptop using the PDA to connect with the Internet, VPN terminates with "The necessary VPN sub-system is not available" error. VPN works fine with my regular home network.

Does the 8525 need something set up to allow VPN on a laptop to use Internet Sharing?

Thanks for any ideas.

WMP video does not rotate to landscape when you switch to full screen mode. It stay as portrait with full screen...instead of landscape.

The WMP software will rotate to landscape but not the actual video.

ragazzi io vorrei upgradare il mio tytn che ha il software di fabbrica davvero penoso! fotocamera pessima, blocchi continui e quindi perdita di sms e telefonate senza una ragione apparente... volevo quindi sapere qual'è la versione in italiano più aggiornata possibile! immagino che la black sia tutta in inglese o sbaglio!? grazie in anticipo a chi mi vorrà rispondere e scusate se non ho scritto in inglese ma purtroppo lo parlo e lo scrivo davvero male! :) thank you in advace... se si scrive così! :)

To answer your question, there is no italian version of any WM6 ROM that I have seen. Certainly not Black.

Please post in English only though!

Rispondere alla vostra domanda, non ci è versione italiana di tutta la ROM WM6 che ho visto. Certamente non nero. Prego alberino in inglese soltanto comunque!

It was worth the wait ... got to say this new ROM is fast fast fast (I upgraded from WM5 just now) and so far so good in terms of stability. I am keeping things lean at the moment in terms of new app installs, but since my goodlink is back up and running I am content for the moment. Wifi seems to be working fine, as well as my connectivity to the Cingular network.

There is no going back ... thanks to all the cooks in the kitchen.

UNPLUG any USB thingy when soft reseting!

I just enabled some tweaks and when I soft reset my device it would hang on the boot screen. So I unplugged the sync cable from my device and then it started. Few minutes later I had the headphones (original) plugged in and enabled another tweak and it hung again. I got a hunch that it might be due to the micro USB port on the phone being in use. So I soft reset the device 4 times while it was plugged in and it would not boot. So I unplugged the headphones and all is fine. Thought this might help others who are having booting issues.

This version is awesome! Was really fast till I started loading stuff on it, still faster then WM5.

oh and SPB works perfectly!

edit after writing tis I see some of you are having SPB problems. I'm using the latest version of PP and I uninstalled the safe mode boot. So far I've installed and tested SPB weather, diary, and PP. I've also installed Resco tools. Now I have uninstalled some of these, but they all worked at the same time.

The only issue that I have is that I forgot to save my sounds from before, that's me being a moron, not the cooks fault

When press n hold "X" button, characters' color on menu are white (and the menu too). Then, only can see the icons, not the description...

OK, after all the encouragement on this thread I went ahead and installed my spb pocket plus (turned off safe mode -- have the most recent version) but when I soft reset was stuck on the Windows Mobile VI splash screen page for about 2 minutes... aargh.

Once I finally was up and running, it was like dragging through molasses.

So,

First, I opened spb Pocket Plus and uninstalled the safe mode component (just to be safe)

Next, I went to task manager and turned of the x-button functionality (in case it was conflicting with the same functionality available in spb Pocket Plus)

And finally, I made sure to choose a spb theme for my today screen (in case spb was hanging up using one of the custom wm6 themes)

At any rate, now spb Pocket Plus sometimes works. Sometimes I can soft reset and get up and running without a problem, and other times I am stuck in the 2 minute startup to molasses process.

Any thoughts?

Backlight for keyboard

I downloaded and installed 1.2 (I also have Radio 1.38.00.10)

I don't know if this is an issue with WM6 or not. I went to this from the shipped rom.

I have a Cingular 8525, and I can't seem to make the keyboard light up like it used to under WM 5.

Also I cannot write to the extended_rom directory still. I might have to run an additional unlock tool, as I have used the HTweakC2.1 app and it is still locked.

I can't say if it is faster or slower. I think one thing that tends to slow down the pocket pc is SpbPocketPlus (which I haven't installed again). Under WM5 it definitely slowed down my device.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] siemens_sx66:
I was mistaken

Ok it lights up now. I don't know what is different, maybe it's because I ran the ShortString_Keypad_XML.cab. I didn't do anything different except unplug it and plug it back in. It didn't light up at first, but seems to work properly now.

Also I haven't had any issues with it hanging on bootup with something connected. I use the "Y" adapter all the time and haven't noticed any issues.

Well, my spb pocket plus screwed me so bad I had to do a hard reset to get up and running again! I had the safe mode off (and in fact uninstalled) and the latest version ... just totally crapped my machine.

Lock ups

Well, this WAS my favorite flavor of WM6. Was until I rebooted, that is. Prior to a soft reset, this sucker smoked! I guess my problem is Pocket Plus related, as others have mentioned. But, I disabled Safe Mode prior to reset and my phone has the problem. From power on to usable state takes about 30 minutes - if I'm lucky.

I hope to be able to get AS to talk to this sucker so I can head back to another version.

I don't have anything on this phone except the latest versions of spb Pocket Plus and Weather. Other than those - all stock.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
OK, this is the procedure i followed to get SPB to boot normal.

1. install pcoket plus (latest version)

2. Reset your device

3. Now uninstall Safe Mode

4. Then reboot.

You will notice that with safe mode, sometimes the popup safe mode screen doesnt show on some boots (spb compatability issue). Therefore removing it will work.

I spoke too soon

Ok, the downside to this ROM's midlet manager is that I can't seem to let Gmail use the network without it asking if it can use the network for each transaction.

If I remember correctly there were settings for java apps in the WM5 midlet manager, now I just have the "Menu" available, even if an app is selected. On a positive note, it is faster.

I went back to using IBM's java because of the inability to make gmail "trusted". What happened to the "Actions" softkey for the default midlet?

Capture.png is the default midlet manager

capture2.jpg is the ibm midlet

FYI:

Something strange, not really a bug.

When I went to speed dial for the first time (and contacts wasn't running) the contact list took a very long time to populate (I thought it was wiped out).

Now even after I make sure that the contacts are not running, when I add additional speed dials, they come up quickly.
