Like earlier posters in this thread, my device's alarm went off this morning some 3 hours and something late. It wasn't a time zone or DST problem, it wasn't exactly 3 hours or 4 hours, but something in between, if I am not mistaken.

Reset the alarm and it went off on time. I hope it doesn't happen again.

Wi-Fi Bubble Fix

You beat me to it. Nice find. I saw this a little while ago but had to go to a meeting before I could post it.

Your subject line gives false hope to guys like Paulo who is having wifi problems. It doesn't fix wifi as such.

Guys, this is a wifi bubble fix which gives us back the disconnect capability on the wifi bubble! Hurray!

The problem is that the task menu's enabled options use the start menu item colors instead of regular text colors. I made a cheap fix for it, it's attached.

I have just upgraded to this rom I have applied all the fixes, patches and cab files I needed and I must say I have not got a single issue with it. I have 3g video calling and that works perfectly.

Regarding your problem with SPB, I use O2 plus version 2.3 it works on all Hermes and runs perfectly. It only has a small memory footprint and will save you having to use different applications. Please see my link for the download halfway down the page. :)

Is the light sensor for the keyboard working with this ROM?

I read a confusing post on this matter in the earlier pages

Can anybody confirm?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Looks like I'm having the dissapearing storage card because I tried to launch skype and it told me the files were missing. Soft reset and it launches fine now.

Also my battery life seems to be horrible now. I know this was only an OS update so I'm gonna work with that for a few days but I'm already at 40% from just 6am this morning and usually I will barely be under 50% at 7pm.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xultar:
I agree! No problems. I have OS2plus 2.3 and my camera works fine.

Slingbox works fine and MS VC 1.6 works fine...along with all the other crap I have on it works fine too. Plus I have tons of space.

I'm in love with this rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kikouyou:
MrDSL

The card issue can be fixed

There are 2 registry values

[HKLM\System\StorageManager] "PNPUnloadDelay" = dword:8196

[HKLM\System\StorageManager] "PNPWaitIODelay" = dword:8196

set in in HEX [edited]

Which fix the issue when they are applied. Also even if they do not change they need to be applied after every reset.

For whatever reason wrong OEM values are burned in somewhere and registry value is only taken into account after been applied

Sleut has some info posted on this matter earlier that he double checked with M$. It was related to OEM burned setups for SD overriding the registry...

Let me know what you think and how you get on! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BigBen:
In my experience, yes. However, it will not turn off if you go from a dark to a bright space, unless you slide the keyboard in and out again. Also, trying to activate keyboard backlight by putting my finger over the sensor often would not work. Backlight would usually not come on under those test conditions.

Maybe my finger is transparent?? :rolleyes:

Crud in Registry and File System?

'Scuse my ignorance, but is having a lot of junk in the registry and file directory of a recently flashed ROM normal? SK Tools found a lot of stuff to clean up shortly after flashing, when I had not installed programs or done a lot of surfing or anything.

I got rid of about 1MB of stuff by running SK cleanup. Some links, bad shortcuts, etc. it couldn't remove.

I wanted to attach screenshots made with the app on BE 1.2, but they were too big.

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Halldor:
The problem is that when you put a check mark to ENABLE the back light auto sensor you are actually DISABLING it! The settings are reversed, OFF is ON and ON is OFF. :eek:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bacco:
By the way, if you just pop-out your SD card and put it back in, you'll be able to see it. You don't really need to soft-reset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BigBen:
I really have to disagree. When I leave it unchecked, backlight comes on under bright or dark conditions. When it's checked, it comes on only in the dark.

I have seen your theory in another thread, not sure if you posted it elsewhere or someone else did, but it's wrong. At least on my device ;)

Resco Today plugin warning

Just to let you know that I've had problems with the Resco today plugin 'freezing' the phone. It won't turn on after being powered off for a while. I suspect from previous experience that it's probably related to the battery meter. Anyway, I've removed the plugin and all is well with this ROM. Thank you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kikouyou:
Thank you BigBen

That is definitely a function I do not have on Vanilla

I am going to take the plunge and get this ROM going!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
Oh it was all going so well!

Flashed ROM this morning, set up Phone Alarm, SPB weather (as per the threads, it was only PP that had issues), O2 plus, TCPMP and off I went. Sync'd with my work PC and all was groovy.

Later in the day I added the exchange server at work and also SPB GPRS monitor (to keep an eye on the exchange data). All seemed fine.

About three hours later, was merrily going along with the eazrphones in (but nothing on) when took a call, and then had a reminder come up. Was driving so didn't look. (hence headset)

Got in, and found phone locked up. Soft reset but now everything VERY sluggish and delayed, including bootup. Have cleared all notifications etc and uninstalled GPRS monitor. Soft reset a number of times.

The weird thing is, since the first reset, the original battery symbol (top right of screen) seems to have appeared - I am sure it was not there before.....

Any suggestions before I hard reset tomorrow morning would be appreciated......

How to improve the sound quality - Bass ?

Can i do something to improve the sound quality - Bass, as WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition (2007-03-20) improved the Bass quality?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
can you please cofirm that LVSW's bass response has been improved. Can you jack your hermes to a spectrum analyzer (maybe one from Agilent) and look at its frequency response. I am curious to see the difference against ROMs that dont have improved bass.

things to look out for.

1. lowest frequency range

2. magnitude of signal

3. leakage

4. clipping issues.

Cingular Push To Talk

Fantastic ROM guys - hat's off to the chefs! I've seen some posts as of yesterday saying the 1.2 PTT rom would be coming out and posted to the PTT thread - but no updates as of yet. This ROM is smoking fast and it would be nice to see PTT added to it.

Just curious if you guys were still working on it - if you check your paypal I sent you a few beers to batter the new ROM with.

Phone Call Window/SPB Back Error

Love the rom. Only have two small questions/issues:

1) I noticed when I had Windows Media playing some music earlier today, when I received a phone call, the window that pops up in front of what you have on the screen currently to inform you of a phone call( the number, name). This window was being "cut-off" by the bottom of the program where the bottom soft keys are. I also just noticed it again as I am using the Internet Sharing program to type this online. On the bottom on the window where it says Disconnect or Menu. That's the section that was behind the phone call window. I hoppe this makes sense.

2) When I loaded SPB Back up therre were no problems with it.(Of course there was the problem with SPB PP, I wish I was ine the lucky ones to get it going:) )My back up ran but I had an Error that I have never seen before:

Unable to Read From File "\Windows\compimeh.0409.dat"

Anyone know what that is? Do I need to do Hard Reset or what?

Thanks for the help and again this is the ROM!!!

Hi Marc

I use the latest SPB Backup on this ROM and have experienced no issues with it. Which version are you running? Please remember also that many apps that run on WM5 might not run on WM6 as the API's are a little different.

I figure out why my push mail stop working becasue my data kept dying but it does not lock up phone or give any hint that there was a problem and just dies so I have to soft reset to get data again.

When data dies I couldn't use the browser (keep saying "Connecting") or any data based program like IM+ however the phone and text messaging continue to work.

I will be going back to Cingular ROM for now becasue being a hearing impaired person all my commuiction is done via data only and I depends on it.

BE v1.2 is a nice ROM and perform faster than the Cingular default ROM.

It may not be the BE 1.2 ROM causing the problem but the Radio 1.38 which I also flash on the phone or maybe a combo of both.

voice recording gone?

I was tempted and finally try this version of WM6 and have to say this is by far the fastest I've ever tested. Everything seems to work perfectly except that I can now no-longer be able to press-and-hold button5 to perform a voice recording. I've remap it to record action but when I press-and-hold the button it tells me that 'The file '' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.'

I'm assuming certain system files were taken out to archieve a smaller rom size? if so how would I be able to get this function back? Thanks in advanced.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Arktronic:
First, select something else for that action and save (close). Then come back into the buttons cpl and select the SECOND "Record".

If you select the first one and save/close and come back, it will look like the second one is selected but it's not. You have to select something else and then the second one.
