Yea, I had that problem too. Not on this rom but on one of the other WM6 roms. It got to be a big pain in the a** trying to type out a MMS or an email for me so I switched back to WM5.

I had hoped that it would have been fixed in this new "official" version. That is one reason why I've been very "slow" to apply this new rom. Still haven't done it yet.

:rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shogunmark:
the keyboard fix is the easiest reg tweak... if you flash this rom and the symbols still dont match up then go to the wiki and find the proper keyboard layout, edit the registry with the proper code, fully power down, then power back up and your problem is gone.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wreckerdude:
Yea, ... I'm not really that comfortable going in and editing the registry. I know everyone on here does it, but I'm not that good at that and I'm worried that if I screw something up I won't be able to fix it.

I tried to load a "cab" file into the phone the other day and couldn't do that! Don't know what I was doing wrong? Not really sure how to? This is the first PDA for me and still learning.

I know, for all those "old timers" here, I've got a ways to go!

:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tco:
A suggestion....if your not comfortable doing a simple registry edit, don't flash your phone with any of the ROMs from xda. Because of the different models of HERMES out there, you will HAVE to make tweaks to get ROMS to work correctly. If your not comfortable doing these tweaks, stick with a official released carrier ROM, not a ROM that you found here.

Just take your time...lurk and read the forums...read the wiki...pretty soon you'll gain enough confidence that you'll be firing up the registry editor on a regular basis.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wreckerdude:
I'm a quick learner! I've had the phone for about a week or so, and I've already learned a TON from this forum and some other places. Already done a few rom loading/unloading things, it's just I want to take it a step at a time.

I will load the new rom that everyone is talking about in the next day or so, but was kinda-of waiting for vp's version (with PTT). I know a lot of people on this forum have poo-poo'd PTT but for me I like it and need it. There are some things that other people use on this forum that I personally don't like or use, but I don't say anything negative about it. It's all personal preference.

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jfharden:
I also had the keyboard symbol problem when installing this ROM. Applied the registery fix and life was good. When I had to reflash a second time, The keyboard was fine, no fix needed. The only difference was that I removed my micro SD card durring the second reflash. I believe the problem was when the phone rebooted after the first reflash, there was an "auto start" program on my SD card (in my case TomTom) and the install started before the ExtROM was able to finish setting up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wreckerdude:
This "noob" took the plunge!!!!! Save me!!!!!

Just installed the new "unofficial - official" cingular/ATT rom. So far NICE! Everything works ok ... so far. It boots up a little slower then it used to though?

And I lost my cool Guitar ringtone!!! Damn it!!! Other then those two things, seems to be working ok for now. PTT is working too for those wondering!

:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Brese:
Observations and Wishlisting....

So I loaded this in last night and my initial impression is good; here are some observations and a question or two.

Network speed seems to a little slower, but this could be simply because I am not seeing the "H" icon. I read about a registry tweak, maybe I will try that. Some others indicated slower and faster speeds respectively so for now I will chalk it up as perception.

It is nice to be "Back on the farm." so to speak with all the AT&T accompaniments, memory doesn’t seem to suffer and overall is appearing to be as Shogun shared, one of the most stable ROMS to date. (I have been a user since the 8125 so I am pretty familiar with instability!) I did wonder though what everyone was using the HTC streaming media app for, I had it on black dymond but could never figure out a use for it. The CV platform was a major motivation for moving to this ROM as I have been interested in seeing what content they are serving, so far I think it was worth it for HBO Mobile.

I have to admit I am impressed with this latest build and the proxy manager, although it doesn’t seem to matter. I have been running POP mail, Sirius Player and Picsel Browser with the proxy on and no time outs; conversely I am able to surf the media net pages at the same time which was previously impossible to do without disabling the proxy first. Not sure how that worked out, but definitely a plus. I was surprised at the opinions on PTT until I called to ascertain the pricing and can't believe they want $9.99@month. it does beg the question though, that is only for AT&T users right? I can't ping outside the network to other PTT users?

I am still looking for some of the software black dymond had such as the regedit and power cycle programs and task manager that resided in a system folder on that ROM, they were good.

Which leads me to the wish list; anybody using any overclock utils like the old OMAP apps I used to have on the 8125? I haven’t seen any since going to the 8525.

Just had a second Sleep of Death on this ROM. It came a few minutes after I finished a phone call. The person on the other end hung up first and I just set the phone down (did not press end or turn off screen). I went to pick up the phone about 5 minutes later and it was SOD.

Now 2 SOD's in 4-5 days is not that bad, compared to what I was getting with some other ROMs. I know that not storing attachments on my Storage Card would help, but I need to download large attachments for work and do not want to clog up my device memory.

Anyone else still getting SOD on this ROM?

Roaming Problem...

The only problem that I'm having with the new rom is that now I'm "roaming" in my own town!

Everywhere I go in my home town, when I connect using MediaNet, it says "Roaming - you may incur additional charges, do you wish to proceed?"

Is this a settings problem?? Anyone having this happen to them??

Had the oddest occurance tonight, the phone just stopped working. The keyboard wouldn't type at all, I would get like 3 words out and then nothing, I couldn't load up the phone app, when it did load and I hit contacts the whole phone would freeze up. I had to do a hard reset, and I guess its working, haven't really used it since then. Thats the only hiccup in a week, hope thats the only one.....

Has anyone had any problems with this ROM as typing on the keypad and it's not doing anything when trying to compose a text message? if i use the stylus it works fine but with the keyboard nothing, i usually have to do a soft-rest to fix it, and yes i've already hard-rest and tried to see if it was software i installed. It's not all the time but occasionally and it's bothersome.

any ideas?

Had the same thing myself last night, I posted about it, but I thought maybe I was the only one. I didn't really have any apps installed the only thing I was using that was out of the ordinary was the giant clock/launcher app from another HTC device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChaoticDruid:
To you two with the keyboard stopping compaints...how long have you had your Hermes?...I just ask cause you should have been experiencing this problem on WM5 also.

The hard keyboard crapping out has been a problem since the Hermes was released, it will work, then all of the sudden stop, and not work untill the power on it is cycled, I don't know if all units suffer from this, but it is fairly common, the board already has quite a few posts about it.

For myself, I notice sometimes it won't happen for awhile, then sometimes a couple times in one day, it varies, and its been pretty much the same through all of the roms.

Offtopic edit: Scrog if you see this, that's a nice pickup, Id like to have a 53 F1 myself, but have enough toys that are going to take forever to finish as it is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Coinstar99:
My Hermes is less than a month old. I can see if it was a year or more but a month. I guess I could get it replaced. Ever since I hard reset and went with as fresh as I could its been fine. I am gonna keep playing with it, hopefully it was just a glitch of software I had installed.

There would be no way to power on the device once it is turned off. Once it's off, it's off... there is no way to run anything when it's off.

Your best bet would be just to turn the phone's radio on and off at times. Really there is no need to ever completely shut down these phones.

I put this "Official" WM6 ROM in my 8525 last week.

I also just noticed that my SIM PUK was up on on OLAM.

So I tried to enter it and it fails. I've never tried to unlock before, nor did I load an alternate SPL.

Is the SIM PUK based on the ROM version?

(so I need a new one? which they probably won't be able to calculate until this ROM is _really_ released)

It seems that the POF SIM Unlocker is a patched version of an older Radio ROM. I don't really want to regress on that. Will the Unlocker be updated in the near future???

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] splat matt:
I would check all of your settings the first one being to make sure that the network adapter is set to "Internet" and NOT "work"

You can check this by going

START -> Settings-> "Connections" tab -> "Wi-Fi" icon -> Network Adapters

And where it reads "My network card connects to:" Select "The Internet" from the drop-down menu.

Let us know if that solves your problem. You may have to do a soft reset afterwards.

The SIM PUK is based on the SIM card, NOT the rom or anything else on the device. It is based solely on the card. No rom changes that.

HAH. i got the answer....

In your email settings on the phone, put “recent:” in fromt of your username. mine would be “recent:myname@mydomain.com”. This prompts gmail to automatically save emails for the last 30 days. The first time you send and receive, it will download 30 days worth of email(which in my case took FOREVER) but after that it will only get the new stuff, and most importantly, leave your existing messages intact.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Squuiid:
It's basically a pre-release, but I HIGHLY doubt this ROM will ever see the light of day. The 'Final' release will be a different version I'm sure.

This one is way too buggy to be released to the mass public.

Just too many issues, minor issues, but show-stoppers when supporting many devices. I have found the VP3G's v3.0 fixes all the problems. I am considering deploying his ROM to all 8525s in our company if ATT release this current 'official' rom that is going around and not an updated one. It's just not ready.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Squuiid:
I think that may have been a mistake. Phone may have been returned and then shipped as 'new' to a new customer.
