TomTom 6 and iGuidance

I have both TomTom6 and iGuidance install to my 8525 with JJ black 3.01 and they both working flawlessly.

just flashed back to black 3.0 from 3.01 and my bt is working flawlessly. i guess its a mixed crowd with bad drivers from both 3.0 and 3.01? other than that, my 8525 is running like a champ! ;)

Live messenger and freezing issue

Wondering if any of the black 3.01 user experiencing freezing issue once awhile when you in stand by mode, it green LED is still blinking but won't able to turn back on and need to perform Soft reset. Also I realize for Chinese program user might have problem using the new MS live and messenger not able to get connect and unable to setup hotmail account if you have CE star install.

This has happened to me once with 3.0 black [with the BT Driver update]. Waiting for next Black release since I can live with 3.0. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rhymer2k:
happened to me too but when i was on black 2.5... whenever i tried playin a video or a song it froze and when it went off didn't come back on though the green LED was blinking until i SR... a consolation though may be that it sorted itself after like a day and i have no such problems on black 3.0

Just wanted to chime in and say thanks to the people who helped me with the bootloader question. I manually seted 2.10 and ticked HardSPL and everything went on fine.

Having a bit of trouble getting on MSN, but I'm sure its just me dicking around and not setting something up.

Problems with 3.0.1

Hi JJ,

I am having two issues that clearly have to do with version 3.0.1

1. Bluetooth is intermitent, with the stereo headset the music stops randomly. Pressing the pause button in the headset starts the music again, have to press it twice since the first time it pauses.

2. Wireless is not connecting, it can see the access point but just can not connect. It keeps trying until it gets the message "Cannot connect to the network"

Both of these happened right after upgrade from 2.0 and both worked flawlessly before, the only change was the OS upgrade.

It seems both of these had been reported in earlier post so my question is will there be an updated version to resolve the issues? and if so what is the ETE.

Thanks for a great job....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sonystyle:
JJ is working on the update

I had seen from previous post that JJ is working on an update that should solve your problem listed above. We all have to wait for the new Rom. However, try to connect your wi-fi by using work instead of internet. That usually establish a connection.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Apollon:
Thanks for the info, bigdriver4u. This is really weird. Haha. Okay, so more fiddling around today. I've gone through every baud rate possible on the software com setup, with two variations: Softcom0/Hardcom3 and Softcom3/Hardcom9. I still can't get the software com to work. I've given up on that for now as it's not a big deal anyways. Hopefully, new drivers will fix this issue.

Most interesting bit is now hardware Com with 0, 3, or 9 all work without any hiccups. Yesterday, I kept getting "no gps device" as I cycled through, but today my tt6 registered my bt-359 perfectly every single time. :confused: So hooray for that, but Im still puzzled by this seemingly isolated problem with my bt-359. I just hope this hardcom part lasts because yesterday I seriously couldn't get it to register about 50% of the time even with just straight through.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sonystyle:
If you are using Bluetooth GPS receiver, you can set your Bluetooth connection at add new device, after you found your gps receiver make sure that you check on serial port. after you add the new device and tap on com port tap and select your BT GPS receiver choose the outgoing port to 7 or 8 this will set you BT GPS receiver to a fixed port instead of seaching for a correct com port every time.

On TomTom you can go to the main menu, "change preference", "show GPS status", "Configure" select "Other Bluetooth GPS receiver" then Choose the Com 7 or Com 8 that you setup at the Bluetooth outgoing port step. Bam! You have a colorful map screen and ready for navigation.

PS Always choose Baud Rate at 4800 all time, 4800 is the correct baud rate for most SiRF star III chipset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikegoldnj:
YES.

Actually I'm using 3.0 but with the updated Midlet manager and the newer BT drivers cabs.

I had this happen a couple of times today. I took my phone out and the blue led was blinking, screen off. Pressed the power button but the screen would not come on. Had to do a soft reset to bring it back to life.

one-way audio with voip

I'm getting one-way audio when using VOIP under Black 3.0.1. The WM6 side is unable to hear the other end. Tried both with calls dialling out from WM6 and dialling in to WM6.

I'm as certain as can be that it's not the network. Packet sniffing I can see the audio flowing in both directions. It was working fine on Black 2.5.

Any hints?

Helo chef, thank q for making bb4 possible with Black 3, I dunno whether its only me, bluetooth issues appear after i installed the bb connect ver 4 on the device. to double confirm i have flash the device twice.

Evrything was up and running well including the bluetooth, it is only after installing the BB4, the bluetooth was not able to be activated. However i am able to connect the BB4 . Gain one function and lose one.

Rest are superb.

Consolidating some problems I have

I would like to contribute/consolidate some info about a few problems/quirks with the 3.0.1 so far. (My device details are in my sig).

1) Bluetooth - I know JJ is working on it but I just wanted to elaborate on some of the issues I personally am having. My device is the Motorola H700.

* I cannot hear the "call tone" when calling out using bluetooth for the first 10 seconds or so. (Dialing is done through the cellphone). If the person on the other side picks up during this interval, I cannot hear/talk to them.

* Also, with bluetooth already connected and ready to go, I crashed/froze the device while trying to dial out using the phone.

* When answering a call using the bluetooth, I get a 30-40 second delay before i can talk/hear anything.

* When switching from phone to bluetooth during a call, there is a 30-40 second delay in connecting to device (It was instant in Black 2.5)

* I and others talking/listening on both ends have noticed more static compared to Black 2.5

<I have not had any of the above problems with Black 2.5>

2) Incoming text messages can sometimes crash the device. When receiving a text message, I would get an audible alert (default sound) but it would repeat again and again without stop in rapid succession. Eventually (and curiously) the sound level dies down after 30 seconds of this constant noise and then stops. The device subsequently is frozen.

3) Text Message/Email/MMS automatically scrolling to the bottom of the message when "Navigate using D pad" is turned on with Pimp v2. Unchecking this resolves the issues, as indicated by JJ himself in an earlier post, but I would really like to see this working with the new release because it's really convenient.

Thank you JJ for all of your hardwork! I hope all of these reports from various people will help make Black rock solid for future releases! :D

I had this problem after updating the BT drivers with the cab from the v3.0.1 release.

It was solved by reverting to the original BT driver cab in Post # 2.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] yvrRome:
Not sure if I misunderstood your comment but I think that's standard behavior. If you add a program into the start menu, the shortcut is removed from the Programs 'window'. Remove it from the start menu and it returns to the programs window.

Pocketplus is known for causing "sleep of death" issues with all WM6 ROMs. If you haven't had it before, it doesn't mean you won't have it now.

WML general weirdness

WM Live is acting all weird.

Using the version that came bundled with 3.0.1 just was not an option as it opened up multiple instances of WML and seamingly could not stay logged in. Also the search bar is missing, I have selected it in the setup and can't see it from Today Items either .... :confused:

I reverted back to the version that came bundled with 3.0. This seems to work a bit better. Does not open multiple instances of itself, but there are some other differences.

The mail options are completely different, it downloads a maximum of 5000 characters.

Running:

PA 160v17b148

O2 2.3

Battery Status 1.04.202b3

BandSwitch 1.2.3

Davis Anders Birthday Plugin

Cyb Voice Dial

Skype

Adobe LE

and some other stuff .........:cool:

Alert reminders etc. not working correctly, but at least my phone is ringing on cue and BT is 100% so far.

i seem to have problems with the transcriber cab

i can install it just fine, but upon every soft reset, it seems that all my settings are gone. e.g. my ink color, do not show intro screen, turning off the sound and stuff like that...

additionally like i think it was mentioned before, this transcriber also does not allow you to select the way you write the letters most frequently

Live Messenger Problem

Been running black 3.01 for a few days now, and am fairly happy with it apart from a few niggles:

The Midlet manager provided on this forum IS better than the standard (it works!), though it frequently crashes, usually when I swith from portrait to landscape mode.

Bluetooth sometimes is undiscoverable/ turns itself on requiring a soft reset.

As of yesterday Windows Live has stopped working: does anyone know why this might be?

Any chance anyone could produce a cab to flash the device with a new black first boot screen. (Sorry if I've missed it somewhere). I flashed mine with the black 2.5 "bar-code" screen, but now that's out of date! I'd like to change it, but can't see myself having time to sit down and edit a cab with something else - especially as a noob. Thanks.

Same way as always...

Messaging>MMS>Menu>Tools>Options>MMS>Then whatever your operator settings should be.

Or look on the Forum for a CAB file to re-instate your operator specific settings.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] unwired4:
And if doing it manually, remember to create a connection to your networks MMS accesspoint (in settings, connections, connections, manage existing connections, private)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ullerdk:
Thanks for the suggestion, but the problem is that there is no MMS menu items anywhere within Messaging on my HTC TyTN flashed with Black v3.0.1!! :confused:

My operator refuses to support because they officially doesn't support WM6 yet... and therefore I can't find a CAB file with the settings neither.... :mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ullerdk:
OK, I haven't done that yet - only made a connection for GPRS. Could that be why the MMS options isn't showing under Messaging? As I remember MMS was working fine on my original WM5 ROM even without a special connection for MMS....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] leoni1980:
you haven't told us who your network provider is.

You could try reflashing you handset.

As regards obtaining the settings from your provider you don't NEED to tell them you've installed WM6 on your device as the setup is identical anyway. Just tell them you were playing around with some settings and accidentally deleted them.

Your MMS will (by rights) appear with default settings whether or not you've installed your provider's GPRS/MMS settings.

If a reflash doesn't work try installing a different ROM, such as LIVE, see if that maketh any difference.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ullerdk:
Ups, sorry. My provider is Sonofon in Denmark. They can't help as long as I don't have the MMS option available in Messaging (and if I had that, I don't need their help).... OK, maybe I will try to reflash with another image.

MMS option was also missing in Black v3.0 witch I tried before Black v3.0.1.

Thanks guys, for your help so forth..

ActiveSync

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the great advice in getting through the little bugs that have been uncovered. JJ, you are still the king of ROMs!

Today I have found a new bug which has been producing some real disturbing results. For some reason my computer will no longer recognize my Tytn when i try to sync through activesync. This morning everything was fine but I just tried to sync again with the computer and the Tytn sees that the connection is there because it started to charge the battery, but the computer does not see the connection and therefore does not initiate activesync to try and sync the material on the Tytn with the material on the computer.

I have tried many things to resolve the issue, but nothing seems to work. I have

repeatedly disconnected the USB cable and reconnected it but that does nothing. I have tried to force the sync through activesync on the tytn but that doesn't work either. I even thought that maybe the problem was in the partnership but that doesn't seem to be it either.

does anyone have a clue what the heck is going on here? I am using Black 3.0 and would like to try and upgrade to 3.0.1 but I can't even do that because the connection to the computer cannot be made.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT OK, I connected the cable to the computer, erased the relationship that was there before, and then did a soft-reset with the two connected and that seems to have solved the problem for now. I am a little afraid to remove the cable because I don't know I'll be able to re-sync....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dbaser:
If you are using Vista, end the wmdc.exe process and try again. Sometimes a simple restart (computer) helps as well. My wife's pc is XP and I find that I need to restart her computer at times to get AS to work again. I have had to kill the wmdc in Vista a number of times just to avoid restarting mainly because I'm trying to see how long Vista can run before it NEEDS a reboot. So far I'm up to 3 months without a restart... if anyone cares. :)

Also... make sure the USB port/cable is working. Try another port or a different USB device. If you have a USB hub, make sure its powered up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ackerchez:
Thanks for the idea. I had restarted once without it helping at all, but I hadn't tried to just kill the process. Right now I'm backing everything up but I'll try that if something goes wrong again.

Phone not working

Hi

I upgraded my t-mobile mda vario II to radio 1.41.00.10 yesterday and all was working fine. I've now upgraded the ROM to Black 3.01 and my phone is all over the place.

I cannot dial out, I cannot enter a number - it freezes the device. I cannot use speed dial and I cannot dial from contacts. An incoming call takes ages before the phone wakes up. I cannot add a contact number to an sms message.

Totally stuffed. Apart from that it works
