TT reactivation

I read over at 4winmoble that Black Majik "changes your device ID".

Could someone please confirm, whether it changes the "device ID" compared to WM5 or compared to Black Shadow.

As far as I know, Black 2.0 did not require a reactivation of TT6, if it was activated for WM5 before. Black Dymond didn't require a reactivation, either, compared to WM5.

Black Shadow did - for some reason - require a reactivation. Therefore I'm stuck with Black Dymond.

Does Black Majik "change" the device ID and therefore require a reactivation compared to WM5 or does it change the device ID from Black Shadow back to the one from Dymond and WM5 so that I don't need to reactivate?

Hope someone understands what I mean...

Thanks,

Michael

The id is the same as that with Dymond - i.e. changed from WM5. Our main hope here is that M$ will release an official rom shortly, so TT will be getting loads of calls so might be more happy to issue new activations. However, their response when I spoke to them was that TT isn't supported on the Hermes, so bugger off.

Drop 3g when calls come through

I read somewhere on this thread someone was having probs, 3g dropping when calls come through. Also noticed they were on ATT

Take a look at this

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/07/03/stingy_att_iphone_network_snafu/

It appears ATT are running a really old 2.5G timeslot sharing system, so its your network to blame, not the ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MGraf:
Thanks a lot Petes.

I guess you meant "the same as that with Shadow", as I'm currently running Dymond with TT6 without having to reactivate after WM5. :D

Well, this whole reactivation stuff is really annoying, especially for those who have legally bought their TT6 and want to use the online services... Has anyone tried, whether the ID stays the same in all the "changing" WM6 OSes, e.g. Shadow and Majik? Then we could at least get only one new activation code for all the new WM6 flashes and keep the old one somewhere else - just in case you have to RMA your Hermes...

Unfortunately I'm a little bit out of practise in using debuggers to see what exact function is called when starting TT6. Actually I never used a debugger for a WM-device at all - if this is possible at all... But perhaps someone volunteers? :o

cheers,

Michael

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 100Tbps:
Every call I initiate using voicecommand 1.6 stays in the BT headset for less than 20 seconds and then hands-free turns off. I can use the right softkey to re-enable hands-free and bring the call back up to the headset, but this kind of defeats the purpose of true hands-free operation. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I tried permutations of changing the registry path & program to btvcbasic and btvcfull to see if btvoicecommand was the culprit (no change). I tried removing and re-adding the headset (scala-700). The ZaJules cab and 1.6 software used to work just fine on Black 2.5, 3.01, and every LVSW+variant I tried. But something about this ROM must be different because I haven't had this problem before on a WM6 ROM.

If I initiate the call from the phone itself, the hands-free doesn't drop. Could it be the hands-free profile not working well with voicecommand or maybe there's something else I could replace or try?

Has anyone encounter any issues with contacts stored in their SIM card? I can't view the list of contacts that I have stored in my SIM card using the contact program under Black Majik.

When I switch my SIM card back to my MDA, which is running mrfrazzz's ROM, I can easily see those contacts combined with my Outlook Contacts.

Also under Black Majik, I am having problem with my handsfree BT, Motorola

H700. I was able to pair it easily. But when I manually dial a phone number, or check my voice mail, it would disconnect. Any feedback or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

By the way, I forgot to mention that I'm using a Cingular 8525 under Tmobile network

Bkack Majik is not suitable for my device

Hi,

I tried Black majik for some time. It gave me really hard time.

1. Sluggish performance

2. Slow response for any thing; applications startup, Dialers, ringing...

3. What was so frustrating is abnormal GSM service. i.e.: i'm connected, but suddenly i got several messages + few missed calls!!!

I shifted back to WM4 black Shadow, every thing is fine :)

dialer

well, majik seems to be nice rom for me, except... the dialer. I don't care of 3g disfunctionality (which can be enabled by 3cabs of JJ) but i realy hate the smartdial (comparing to wm6 dialing)

After disabling the smartdialing there is no matching at all. after reversing to "old" wm6 dialer there is no "old" dialing availability which was the biggest improvement in wm6 for me. (i haven't used contacts app for contacts i've only used phone app). Is there any help for me?

i like 2g big button design, but i love wm6 M$ smartdialing functionality
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
use either pimp my black or HTCustom and disable "3g video dialer". the Big button dialer in Majik is a phone skin and doing the above disables the phone skin to revela the wm6 dialer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] savac:
thanks man!

every good word about you is truth.

i guess having both is impossible (1 of all in case of dimensions of big buttons) ...shame. but i still preffer original 2g dialer

Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but since i'm running majik i don't know. Maybe a noob question. I've never used wifi. Just got a labtop and wifi hooked up. Can get my Cingular 8525 to detect the signal but can't seem to surf the net with it. Tried disabling the phone in comm manager but still no cigar. Can someone explain to me what i'm doing wrong. I'm running Black Majik and 1.43.0 radio. thanks in advance guys.

JJ,

Nice work, good to see fellow Aussies being the best in the field, not just the swiming and Tour de France eh?

A couple of quick ones, I have noticed a small glitch when using cs.PhoneProfiles. This used to work really well pre-black. I upgraded to Black 3.0.1 a few months ago and then to Black Majik during the week, and with both versions, cs.PhoneProfiles will put the phone into silent, but will not bring it back. You have to manually go in to the sound setting and turn sound back on. This wasn't the case in my old op sys (I recall it working on the 3 Dopod rom, and possibly another WM6 rom, cant be sure about the last one). Any clues, or any phone profile type solution?

Secondly, how can I remove the battery icon from the top bar, it doesnt seem to be formatted correctly, has some strange squirls through it and looks ugly - minor issue, but would love to clean it up.

Thanks again JJ

@adamcullen

For the second question,

from the wiki... http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other

Change the display of the clock in the taskbar

The clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.

To show nothing:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)

To show just the clock:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)

To show just the date:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)

To show both the date and the clock:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)

Note 1: If you switch to the Analog clock display, the date will remain visible -through- the Analog clock

Note 2: Setting the clock to show 'nothing' will still keep the reserved space, showing the taskbar background, and obscure any icons that will shift to the right.

Note 3: Your date may get obscured by the space reserved for the OK/Close button in the top-right. You can fix this my adding spaces at the end of your 'Short Date Format'. See also the tweak on 'Change the Short Date Format'

I've been using Black MAJIK now for nearly a week and have had no problems :). With radio 1.43 on UK T-Mobile all is working very well. If there is anyone still wondering whether to switch then my post on my experience of moving from the standard T-Mobile UK WM5 build to my current build might be of use.

Had similar problems. The at&t proxy blocks you from using wifi for internet explorer. Go to Settings -Connections - Connections -Advanced -select network, edit media net -proxy settings, and uncheck the use proxy box. (Probably should write down proxy setting from form field in case you need it back)

This will keep you from accessing cingular home and cingular video, but is the only way I know to get wifi to work and does not hurt your cellular connection.

Ahh... now that makes it a bit clearer. I forgot that AT&T changed the name to "Cellular Video".

Anyhow, for breaststroke56, you were advised to get a dialer cab to fix your issue. Don't. I think that's where some confusion was.

See if you're able to get 3G reception and if you can run Cellular Video. If you can, then try flashing back to Black MAJIK and check the results. You may have just had a bad flash.
