I don't know if anyone answered yet I haven't gotten further. But you need to go to th programs, then proxy manager and select the one "Disable Proxy" that should let you get on while connected to wifi. as for the active sync go to you connections, usb to pc and remove the check mark in advanced network features.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Iridious:
Go into the connections then usb to pc and uncheck the advance network features box then reconnect to your pc. That should do the trick.

You know I think that is by far the only issue i have had with this rom.

Phone Maintainence and BBC

Is there somewhere in the forum that talks about it. I couldn't find it.

Also, this may be dumb question, but do I need to run the BBC on my desktop if I want work email from the exchance server
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cingulartreo:
what about the unofficial "official" rom? Does that one have the problem with the num keys staying on too?

Dropping calls and not hanging up...

I am waiting on a fix for this as well... Has anyone tried this with the offical WM6 rom? Until there is a fix i can deal with using the stylus..

Also... :confused:

@VP3G Do you know of anyone that has experiance any issues regarding what I would call dropped calls and the phone not actually dropping it and continues to count seconds even after hitting and holding the END button/screen key??? This has happened to me several times and it will eventually hang up but I have had to do a soft reset several times as well..

Would upgrading to the 1.48 radio fix this possibly?? I live in a pretty good area for 3G outside of DC but I do not get 3G at the office and I travel often so Im not sure how great the battery would perform... Any thoughts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikiedreb:
Yes it does....same deal....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tiptoekirk:
MS or Cingular need to take a look at this and fix it before it is officially released to the public...

If this has been posted b4 I apologize (but I did search)

Did a lot of ROM jumping and settled on this because of bluetooth stability. My Logitech Mobile Traveller doesn't drop like it did in the other ROMs. I have one big problem though, I use CorePlayer and when I go into sleep mode the audio doesn't play. It did with the dopod ROM which is supposed to be identical to this one in theory. Anyone know if this can be fixed? It's the only thing that's keeping this ROM from being perfect for me. Thanx in advance for the help
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cirial:
@tiptoekirk, I use to have that problem with my old RAZR. It would only do that when I was in an area with very limited signal. I have not yet had anything like this issue with my Hermes though. Are you in a poor signal area when it happens?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tiptoekirk:
@Cirial -- To be honest, I am in a pretty good 3G coverage area at home since ATT and has upgraded and made most of the DC area 3G now, and it happened to me last night right before I posted this thread.. When it happened on your RAZR were you using 3G or Edge??

Last night I decided to upgrade to the 1.48 radio version as well and it has not happened *yet* hopefully it wont happen again as its very annoying..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cirial:
No, I had the v3i so it didnt support 3g. It had to have been on Edge then..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] trimark:
Yep, me too. The version that comes on the ATT 8525 CD is only 4.2, you'll need 4.5 from msoft once you've upgraded. You do get a prompt about this, or should!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] trimark:
I just want to say thank you VERY much for building this ROM. I've never done anything like upgrading my prior phones, but having just got an ATT 8525 on a new contract, I was actually pretty disappointed with it, having previously been a Treo 650/Palm OS user.

The update went great, the extra memory is very welcome and the speed does seem to be better. I really appreciate that you bundled a few extra more useful apps too!

CHEERS!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mthomas:
OK, I must be stupid, but when I extract the rar archive I get a bunch of rar archives. If I further extract these, I get an xml document and a bunch of other files. If I move these extracted files to my device, i see a folder with the xml doc and all the supporting docs. When i click on the xml, pie reads it as an xml document, showing me the contents. I cannot directly extract on the device, as there is no extraction utility cooked into the rom.

What am I missing, other than a clue?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
I'm going with clue. Only kidding...

Sounds like you're extracting the cabs, which you don't need to do, nor will they be usable once you do. How is it that you think you're getting a bunch of RAR files... by the icon? Guessing that's the case due to CAB and RAR both being associated with WinRAR. You probably have the Windows folder settings such that it's hiding file extensions, which would explain it. If so, turn that off so you can tell which files are CAB and which are RAR.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nihmrodd:
Perhaps this is stated earlier in this thread (though I looked and didn't see it)--what radio version is vp3G's ROM running? The pic in the OP shows 1.40, but I know the new "real official" ATT ROM has 1.48. Any chance that slipped into this ROM too?

Am new to the whole cooking & flashing business, and would much prefer from the looks of things to run vp3G's on my 8525, but am a bit scared of flashing the radio separately.

On a slightly separate note...what would happen if I installed the "real official" ATT ROM, then perhaps decided I didn't like it and flashed vp3G's on then? It would keep the 1.48 radio anyway, right?

Hey vp3g thanks for the wm6... it is sick... off the hook

I only have one problem that I can figure out. My internet always seem to auto-connect. I turn off that setting for that but somehow it won't stop log on the media net. Sometime it can be annoying

Are you having any problem with this? Anyone?

Office Mobile 2007 or version 6.1

I've tried to find an answer to my question using the search, but have been unable to get anywhere.

This ROM and a few others are reporting that Office 2007 is part of the ROM. I love this ROM! I just still cannot open docs or spreadsheets created on my PC using Office 2007.

The version showing for Excel included in this ROM is version 6.1. Is this the same thing as Office Mobile 2007?

Thanks.

Ok I feel really stupid even after this I still am not sure how to load extras. Is there a guide I just cant find?

Roaming?

I just got my 8525 last week and I am totally new, but I took a chance and downloaded this rom. I think it works great. The only issue I have found is when I try to send an e-mail, I get "You are currently roaming. Synchronizing may result in additional charges." I reloaded the Mobile 5 rom from the HTC site and didn't have this message. Is it anything I should be concerned about? I guess I will find out on 8/9 when I start a new billing cycle.

Thanks

The whole letters being numbers on the keyboard during a call is becoming a big problem. I know everyone, including myself, keeps asking if there is a way to fix this. The official AT&T WM6 Rom didn't have this problem, but I don't want to revert back to such low storage :( . All I'd like to know is if there is a way to make a small patch, cab file, or something to fix it? Is that possible?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
I'm pretty sure you're wrong and that the original ATT WM6 rom DOES have this issue as well. We can't do much about it except to wait for a fix from Microsoft or HTC.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
What's so confusing? Download the rar, extract the cabs from the rar, install the cabs on your device. That's it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
yes, 6.1 IS Office 2007 :)

Bluetooth Issue

I dont know If I am in the right area but I am frustrated right now I am using an 8525 with wm6 VP3G version 3.0 radio 1.48 and the motorola HS850 bluetooth. I paired the devices together and I can hang up phone calls with the bluetooth and I hear the end beep when i hang up but I do not hear any sound on it like when I am checking my voicemail. Is there a bug or am I doing something wrong? I enabled it as a handsfree device and as a serial device but no luck is it just supposed to be a serial device by itself? I would appreciate any help

Couple of questions

Hey buddy, are you saying that this file will work on all Windows Mobile operating systems, i.e. Treo 750 from AT&T? Just wanted to make sure since another chat thread in here promises WM6 but it's done via a .NHB file... That .NHB file is approximately 83 MB versus I noticed one of the mirrors has the file for just over 40 MB, plus it's not a .NHB file... please advise... if this will do the same thing, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!:). If it will, do I just use my mini SD to load it just like I was suppose to do with the .NHB file? Thanks again...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] NRGZ28:
You're in the WM6 for the H E R M E S devices, therefore this ROM will not work on your Treo. DOH!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bluetoothless:
v3pG I love the ROM. Favorites so far are the splash screeen and call history in dialer.

Came across one issue that I didn't have with the stock ATT WM6 and hopefully it is an easy fix that I can figure out on my own. I am running Spb Pocket Plus, Spb Mobile Shell, Spb Weather, Spb Time, and a few medical software programs. The font in Spb Weather's today screen switches to match the background color...i.e. white in Spb blk47 theme changes to black. Change themes, skins, etc and the font stays black prohibiting my reading. Soft reset corrects, and switching from potrait to landscape is one way to trigger this error. Any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ericc191:
Nope, I had been using it since the night it released and sent many text messages and surfed the web while on the phone and using the slide out keyboard with no problems
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
The problem originated with the AT&T 3.57 "official" release. Just flashed it myself to verify. Perhaps you are thinking of the Dopod 3.54 release.

If the fix were an easy one, don't you think I would have offered it by now? :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ericc191:
Yeah you're right. I used the Dopod release. My bad!

Didn't mean to sound like I was *****ing about the fix either
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FMXP:
So, now that I've gotten my Pocket IE cache on Storage Card issue worked out, I think this is the best ROM I've ever used for my 8525. Thank you vp3G for making this great ROM! I feel like I can actually *use* my 8525 now on a daily basis without constantly wondering when it's going to crash, hang, or lock up on me at random times. It's a wonderful feeling. :)

Unfortunately, I'm now using it so much that I can't even go one full day without completely draining the battery from 100% to 0%. I need to get the extended battery or something, this device really can't stand constant daily use on the regular battery's full charge. :(

I hope someone figures out the cause and a fix for the strange problem of the backlight turning off when you slide the keyboard out. It seems to happen a lot to me when I'm in Text Messages, but it happened once or twice in IE too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Gator5000e:
Do you have the keyboard light auto sensor turned on? If so, turn it off and the keyboard will illuminate every time you open the keyboard. It is under Settings-Buttons-Backlight. Hope this helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Gator5000e:
BTW, this is an awesome ROM, so thanks vp3G. Thanks for looking out for us Cingular/AT&T users. All your hard work and your patient responses to our questions is very much appreciated. Small donation sent.

So now, ;-), any chance of some kind of plug-in for the Today screen Systray to show a BT headset is attached and active?

Thanks again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] toyfreak:
Just go into ActiveSync on the phone, select "Schedule" and the select "Use these Settings While Roaming". Problem solved.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] s4mb4:
what is the battery like on this ROM when you use the BBC one. I have the option of using direct push OR blackberry and was wondering what everyone else thought first. Is battery life worse better or the same with Blackberry connect when compared to Direct Push? thanks

Still confused

I'm trying to install the smartdialer/video call dialpad(s) as described here, but it's just not working. :confused:

Here's the steps I've tried:

1. Install vp3G WM6 3.0.

2. Install the HTC_Smartdialer2.5

3. Install one of Zombienexus' dialpad skins.

I noted that when I installed the HTC_Smartdialer2.5, it didn't show up in the "remove programs" list.

From everything I've read, this should work. Could someone kindly clue me in to what I'm missing here?

PIE Slow to start

Have had very, very few issues with this ROM. Great. Thank you vp3G!

I have read the forum many times but have not seen anything on the PIE starting very slowly. With or without a data connection already present, when I open PIE, it can take up to 30 secs to start locating. Also occasioanaly cookies seem to be lost. Saw this reported early on but no reply to it.

FYI- I have moved to radio 150 and appears to be more stable. Still checking.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
I believe SPB has an update for this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
That's a fairly dated procedure and it's gotten a bit more complicated with the later builds. As luck would have it I just tried JasJamming's Black 3G dialer procedure on my ROM and it worked (got it at wmblack.info). It also supports the zombienexus skins. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Fair enough. Unfortunately I flashed the 3.57 AT&T specifically to validate your claim.

I got my "sea legs" here by solving nuisances and things that didn't work. As this is XDA-Devs, feel free to pitch in whenever you like! :)

In other news, changing the dialer doesn't stop it from locking the keys as numbers while in-call. :( Next guess is something with the keyboard driver. We know it's been modified to work with PTT. One thing I've observed with the full smartdialer is that it displays both letters and numbers in the panel.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
First I've heard of the slow PIE. I believe the cookies issue was narrowed to a suspicion of poor reception/network problems. I assume this was occurring before you updated the radio to 1.50. Still a bit leery of it, myself...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ddevling:
Occured on 1.48 which is why I tried 1.50. The cookies may be the poor reception..?? With both radio versions, I sometimes have to SR to get a good signal back. Here in KC, it is common to go back and forth between 3G and E. Once on E does not go back to 3G unless I SR.

Thanks,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mutantblack:
got a little problem here. As soon as I upgrade to this firmware, i can't sync no more. It just keeps on showing syncing and then nothing happens. Another problem is that i keep on getting weird txt msg. last night alone, i got 15 txt msgs. it something abotu wc111.4 or something like that. Did I do anything wrong? Thanks so much for the rom. It's beautifully done and working like a champ.

edit. Ok now I can sync. Have to use different computer to get it works. Only that txt msg thing left. Oh yea. And then my OZ IM Client cannot send msg by pressing enter anymore. More of a software issue I believe.

Unable to Answer incoming calls

I haven't been able to find any discussion of this issue so I was hoping that someone reading this thread might have a heads up on what I've experiencing lately with this new ROM...

Its quite often that when I receive an incoming call, I cannot seem to answer it regardless if I press the softkey 'answer' or the phone button itself. I had thought that this is a bug with the device lock but I seemed to have the same problem regardless if the device is locked or not.

has anybody else experienced unanswerable calls?

So far, the only thing I can think of is hard reseting or reflashing, but I'd hope that there might be a easier solution.

Chris
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ddevling:
I have had this upon occasion. Most of the time it is with weak reception. I am trying radio 1.50 to see if radio or ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Imonstrous:
Okay, I had this exact same problem. Just search for Black spb weather, you should get some hits.

the fix is easy, download the correct build number for SPB weather, and you should be fine, I believe it is 757... I could be off a little, but that is essentially the idea. Try to find the thread, if can't PM me... I have the cab.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chromecast:
I'm not too sure that reception is my problem (I get full bars at home), It just seems like the answer button just doesn't work.

I'm also wondering if having multiple instances of Phone (cprog.exe) is causing these problems... I'm having a hard time figuring this out... Anyone else using Task Manager and see multiple Phone's in the applications tab?

Dr. Puttingham.....I'm a little north of you in Jupiter and am wondering what kind of difficulty did you have with radio 1.48? Have you tried v. 1.50 I have seen mentioned?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nthdgreee:
Just installed IPL: 1.04 and SPL 2.10.Olipro and VP3G's v3.0 Rom. First time doin' this by the way. Upgrade to my 8525 seem to go fine. I left my Radio at 1.40.30.00.

The first thing I did after the install was to attach to my exchange server at work. All my contacts, calendar and tasks sync'd. The only thing that refuses to download is my email. It doesn't give an error or anything. If I try to send an email from my device it puts the message in the Outgoing box but will not send. By the way, our Exchange server is up and running just fine.

I've tinkered with settings and looked on the forums, including the wiki, for about 2 hrs now and I can't seem to resolve this. Any thoughts?

I have also tried the disabling of the "Advanced Network Functionality" just to be sure it wasn't interfering.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ndxhound:
Don't forget to reinstall the server's certificate. Load the .cer file to your device and double-tap it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nthdgreee:
Wow, thanks for such a quick response! Where might I find the .cer file.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ndxhound:
I too have a problem with the mapping of the symbols on my 8525 keyboard with this ROM. Where can I find information on changing the mapping? Search, so far, hasn't revealed much.

UPDATE: Nevermind. I found the solution: use Programs->System Tools->HTCustom->keyboard tab->set to Cingular.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
If you got calendar and contacts, it's not a certificate issue. You need to use ActiveSync 4.5 with WM6 and set up your server source through there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nthdgreee:
I am using ActiveSync 4.5. Perhaps I'll uninstall it and try again.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nthdgreee:
I solved it...by luck mind you. I simply unchecked the option to sync my exchange email, then checked it again. That was it. It synced all my email incoming and sent. I did a few tests and all seems to be working fine. Whew, now I can have fun with the ROM. Thanks folks.

I have begun to hate my 8525 because of the lack of software features, and the inability to use the hardware (ie Wi-Fi) as needed. Also, I was about to have to switch to a blackberry because of work.

You made it all better...thanks!

btw...some of my favorite features include the removal of the annoying loud noise at startup, the ability to remove the sound when sending text messages, an mp3 player that will actually recognize the 135 tracks on my storage card, and voice dialing.

vp3G, I found the source of my slow PIE starting. I was using SD card for cache, etc. Went back to main memory and fixed issue. Might try new SD card (more expensive than the $9.99 one I was using).
